History Main / Excalibur

** ''ComicBook/{{Excalibur}}'' is about several UK-based teams of mutants. In ''New Excalibur'', the characters come in contact with the real deal when they travel back to Arthurian times.

* ''Series/{{Cursed}}'': Never mentioned by name, but the Sword of Power is assumed to be Excalibur because it's possessed by Nimue, Myth/TheLadyOfTheLake, and provides a claim to the throne.

%%* ''Literature/LeMorteDarthur'' is widely considered the definitive version of the Arthurian legend.%%And?

* ''Literature/PendragonCycle'': Excalibur is an Atlantean sword wielded by King Avallach and later his grandson Myth/{{Merlin}}. After Arthur's original sword is broken in battle, he receives it as a replacement from Merlin's mother Charis, this series's version of the Lady of the Lake.

* "Excalibolg" from ''LightNovel/BludgeoningAngelDokuroChan'' [[RuleOfFunny needlessly]] combines this with BlandNameProduct. The second half of the name likely comes from Gae Bolg from Celtic myth, which is a SPEAR, not a sword. Even more inexplicably, Excalibolg is a spiky club, not a sword.

* ''LightNovel/HorizonInTheMiddleOfNowhere'' features the Excalibur, but is represented as two swords: one called the "Excalibur Caliburn" and the other the "Excalibur Collbrande" ("Collbrande" being a variant on the spelling of the mythological Caliburn).

* ''LightNovel/HighSchoolDxD'': There were two holy swords originally wielded by King Arthur:

* ''LightNovel/SwordArtOnline'': Excalibur is [[InfinityPlusOneSword the most powerful weapon]] in the otherwise Norse-themed VRMMORPG Alfheim Online, the setting of the second StoryArc.

* ''LightNovel/ThatTimeIGotReincarnatedAsASlime'': Excalibur and Caliburn are both Mythical/God-class swords wielded by ''the'' greatest MasterSwordsman in the whole world. That man? [[spoiler:It's [[LazyBum Dino]], the lazy and apathetic FallenAngel who [[BrilliantButLazy almost never fights seriously because it's not in his nature to do so]], and in fact usually sticks to a slightly weaker {{BFS}} when he actually bothers to do so.]]

** Expanded materials further explain Excalibur's origins, including having been forged from the core of a star. In the prequel ''LightNovel/FateZero'', Excalibur disintegrates a ''[[DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu Cthulhu]]'' knockoff. And in ''VideoGame/FateExtella'' it's revealed Excalibur was once used [[spoiler:to destroy an alien superweapon that was powerful enough to fight and kill ''gods'']]. ''That'' is the kind of power Excalibur possesses.

* ''VideoGame/BreathOfDeathVII'': Excalibur is the main character's InfinityPlusOneSword. It can be obtained after defeating [[spoiler:Dragonduck]], the BonusBoss of the game.

* ''VideoGame/DragaliaLost'' has Excalibur as the [[InfinityPlusOneSword 6-star]] weapon for [[BlowYouAway Wind]] [[HeroesPreferSwords Sword]] Adventurers. A second refinement allows not just the weapon to be made just an Infinity Plus 1.5 sword, but adds a cosmetic effect as well to show you've taken on [[BonusBoss Ciella]] on [[HarderThanHard Legend]] Mode.

** Shura pass his power to Shiryu's arm before dying. However, in order to use it, the Bronze Saint would have to burn his cosmos to a Gold Saint's level and raise it to the limit.

** The book 8 sidestory ''Caliber'' features the introduction of a new quest chain said to have Excalibur as a reward, which spurs Kirito to gather his friends and try to claim the weapon while he still has a chance. Within the game's lore, the "icicle castle" turns out to be a frozen lake created when the frost giants plunged Excalibur into the roots of the World Tree as part of their plans to invade the surface. Eventually the group succeed in destroying the castle by pulling Excalibur from its resting place... only to find that its actual name is "Holy Sword Excalib'''e'''r" [sic]. Kirito surmises that the unusual spelling was a {{Pun}} on how the item is a BraggingRightsReward which proves its wielder's ''caliber'' (at least, after all he went through to get it, he likes that explanation better than "one of the devs made a typo").

* ''VideoGame/CastlevaniaAriaOfSorrow'' had the Excalibur show up as a sword in the stone...amusingly enough, Soma's not the chosen one who can free it, so instead he ''swings the massive bolder the sword's attach to as well as the sword itself.''

* ''VideoGame/SecretOfMana'': In the introduction, it's said that Excalibur is one of the many names that the Holy Sword of Mana has gone by throughout history.
* ''VideoGame/TheSecretWorld'', being set in a world where AllMythsAreTrue, quite naturally features Excalibur. [[spoiler: It's actually the MacGuffin of the first major story arc. Having been stolen from its Arthurian resting place by Vikings, it was then taken to New England in order to help the Wabanaki tribe fight off an invasion by Mayans hell-bent on unleashing the [[EldritchAbomination entity]] [[SealedEvilInACan slumbering under Solomon Island]]. Unfortunately, the sword was lost on the return journey and remained so until the 21st century, when it was accidentally discovered by a fishing vessel and brought back to Solomon Island; unfortunately, it brought the zombified Vikings with it -- which is where the player gets involved. Eventually, [[StarterVillain Freddy Beaumont]] acquires the sword and tries to seize the Island's power with it before getting his ass handed to him by the player; unfortunately, Beaumont's DarkMistress makes off with Excalibur immediately afterward and hasn't been seen since.]]

* ''VideoGame/{{Terraria}}'': Excalibur was originally the last and best sword in the game, crafted with three other swords, and possessing an auto swing that makes it a very overpowered blade. A few updates later, the game introduces ''True'' Excalibur, a reinforced version of the blade.
