Those who witness the blade makes those nostalgic for better times, such as Gilgamesh who fondly remembered Enkidu, and it is able to make even Gilles de Rais, having fallen into brutality and smeared with corruption, remember the light and glory of his past that has been etched into his heart before it destroys him.Įxcalibur is a typical Western sword with a length of ninety centimeters and a width of twelve centimeters, and it has Fairy Letters inscribed on it to show that it is not the work of mankind. It is a crystallization of the concept of glory and those soldiers who died hoping to be exalted. According to Da Vinci, the concept of Excalibur utilises the legitimacy of the Human Order itself and proof of Humanity's future. While there are many other Noble Phantasms crafted more splendidly and with better skill, Excalibur is an illusion far superior to them. The Holy Sword was then given to Chaldea by Artoria to use against the Alien God. When the Artoria of the Lostbelt entered into the Star of the Planet, its heart or core, to forge the Holy Sword, right before the process would cost her life, Senji Muramasa, a psuedo-servant using the body of Shirou, stepped into the Planet's Star, taking her place during the final forging stages and, at the cost of his life, saving Artoria while finished forging the Greatest Holy Sword. the forces of Chaldea managed to forge the holy sword themselves. However, Morgan was never able to accomplish forging the Holy Sword, so Artoria was created to fulfill Morgan's old mission. The Fairy of Paradise, the Morgan of the Lostbelt were originally created by the World to force the fairies of Britain to repent and complete their duty of forging Excalibur via Avalon le Fae. In the British Lostbelt, the fairies refused to forge the blade out of laziness, allowing the White Titan to ravage the world. There is a theory that Caladbolg is the same as Caledfwlch WP of Welsh mythology, making it a prototype of Excalibur. They have similar abilities based in using light to attack the enemy, which Shirou Emiya sees as an obvious conclusion from the similar appearance. Excalibur has good performance as a sword, almost completely devoid of ostentatious ornamentation, and Caliburn is extravagantly adorned as a symbol of the king's authority, making its rank as a weapon lower. The swords are similar in nature and appearance, though Excalibur is more suited to be used as a weapon. There is also some debate about whether or not Excalibur was reforged from Caliburn, or if they were two completely different swords from the start. They were later combined into a single narrative, the former becoming known as Caliburn and the latter becoming known as Excalibur. Both the sword from the stone, later broken, and the new sword received from Vivian, are called "Excalibur", but that was because they were originally two separate stories.
She eventually lost Avalon, and replaced it with Invisible Air, which she continued to use during the Holy Grail Wars to hide the sword and her identity.Įxcalibur and Caliburn are often confused due to their close nature in the legend. When said to have answered Merlin's inquiry about which had more value with the sword being the obvious answer, the court magus chided the king in that the scabbard which protects is more important than the sword which slashes the enemy.
While a powerful sword, it is said that Avalon was more valuable to Artoria. It is said that this sword, born in the inner sea of the planet, exerts its true power only when an enemy that threatens the planet emerges. It and its scabbard, Avalon, provided partial immortality for its wielder. It was guarded by extensions of the planet, Fairies, before briefly being passed on to Artoria Pendragon by the Lady of the Lake to act as a replacement for Caliburn and later returned to the lake before her death. Created as a weapon to be used by the planet against external threats, it was used to defeat the White Titan.Įxcalibur is a Divine Construct, the pinnacle of holy swords, and the strongest holy sword whose equal is the strongest demonic sword Gram one of the ultimate god-forged weapons, a Last Phantasm, forged by the planet as the crystallization of the wishes of mankind stored and tempered within the planet.
