Line 61:
* In ''[[Fate Stay Night]]'', Servant {{spoiler|Saber's}} primary weapon is Excalibur, {{spoiler|[[Samus Is a Girl|as she is actually King Arthur]].}} It can even be used as a [[Wave Motion Gun]].
** It's shown quite early in the story that Servant Lancer uses the cursed spear Gae Bolg, immediately revealing his true identity -- the Irish hero Cuchulainn. Many other Servants have ways to keep their Noble Phantasms hidden (Saber's wind barrier around her sword which renders it invisible, for one) in order to hide their true identities.
* In ''[[Saint Seiya (Manga)|Saint Seiya]]'', the Capricorn Saints are said to have the power of Excalibur in their arms and legs, therefore being able to use them as [[Absurdly Sharp Blade
* This is subverted in ''[[Tears to Tiara (Visual Novel)|Tears to Tiara]]'', where the Sword in the Stone that [[King Arthur|Arthur]] draws is named Danwyn. [[Genius Bonus|Cleverly enough]], Danwyn takes its name from Owain Danwyn, a Welsh Prince who is a strong candidate for the identity of the "real life" [[King Arthur]].
* Used in ''[[Witchblade (Anime)|Witchblade]]''. The Witchblade first claims to ''be'' Excalibur; Excalibur is introduced much later in the series as a male counterpart to the blade.
