* The Sword Familiar in ''[[Castlevania Symphony of the Night]]'', though it's more of a creature that fights for you that you can equip as a weapon.▼
* In ''[[Yaiba]]'', during the Pyramid Arc, he's on the receiving end of a [[Curb Stomp Battle]] from [[Artificial Human|Diamond]], who can predict and stop all his attacks. In order to turn the table, he let [[Blow You Away|Fujin]] and [[Shock and Awe|Raijin]], the demons living in his swords, possess him, so that they can trash Diamond around with their combined powers.
* In ''[[Musashi Samurai Legend]]'', during the final boss fight Gandrake {{spoiler|instead of using his own power relies entirely on that of his power-source/boss, the Archnembulus, along with Musashi's elemental swords.}}▼

* Four examples in ''[[Soundscape]]'', all of which come from the Precursors.
** Dolecrel is the template for the 'effects' scenario, including the elements. Scimitars based off him double as a [[Technicolor Blade]].
** Tostrow is the template for the animal-based Scimitars.
** Sherruk, template for the armor-based Scimitars. Here, the [[Empathic Weapon]] ''is'' your armor, which is outfitted with an arsenal of abilities, placed in three categories - defense, support and assault.
