#SOULCALIBUR IV PYRAMID HEAD SERIES#

The other treasures, Kali-Yuga and Dvapara-Yuga, are linked to the holy sword. Soul Calibur finally appeared, somehow transformed into a different shape, as one of the Ling-Sheng Su Temple treasures, a sword called Krita-Yuga. When wielded by King Arthur it was referred to as Excalibur. Whenever a warrior vowed to take on Soul Edge on his own, Soul Calibur appeared to prevent the cursed sword from causing any more damage. The guardians lived in seclusion, passing the sword from generation to generation in secret. Nonetheless, the tribe that was tasked with guarding the sword slowly purified it to the point that it could be considered a holy weapon, while keeping dormant the dark soul that rested within the sword. However, the sword that was created was far from good due to Algol's thirst for power, and it was extremely similar in nature to Soul Edge. After many failed attempts, the holy sword was born when Algol sacrificed himself to complete the ritual. Algol enlisted the help of the greatest sage in the land, who used purified fragments of the cursed sword to forge a new spirit sword, to be known as 'Soul Calibur'. Several characters in Soulcalibur II and III can utilize the weapon as their ultimate, namely those of good alignment though Siegfried as Nightmare in SCII can also use her as well.Īlgol, the king that once wielded Soul Edge and lost his son because of the demonic sword, vowed to create a holy sword from the purified shards of Soul Edge that would oppose the evil sword, being its equal in strength and opposite in intent.

In contrast to Soul Edge's parasitic nature, Soul Calibur acts more symbiotic, granting her users near infinite vigor as usage of the weapon constantly regenerates health at the same rate Soul Edge drains it along with greater defense. Much like Soul Edge, Soul Calibur boasts a grand amount of strength, more than any other weapon in the games where she is featured as an unlockable weapon. The sword can also assume her original form when the spirit of the sword, Elysium, mimics Leixia's fighting style. Aside from its usual appearances, Soul Calibur seems to be able to morph into various more 'ordinary' looking weapons without the general crystalline form as a form of disguise, such as the Krita Yuga jian form used by Xianghua or the inert, decorative Zweihander sword available for Siegfried as Soul Calibur (Hidden). Both the sheath and the blade's blunt edge are lined with various runic symbols. When Patroklos's resolve becomes strengthened, she becomes a much slimmer blade and even forms a sheath. The handguard now features her face, much like Soul Edge's skull. In Soulcalibur V, she reverts to her original size from her debut and has a more sleek appearance. By the time of Soulcalibur IV, the sword becomes nothing more than a large crystalline/ice structure vaguely resembling a sword, including the hilt, possibly showing how unstable the swords powers had become. Reflecting Siegfried's nature, she also grows into a large two-handed sword with an elaborate hand guard where her glowing core floats disembodied within. She retains this design until she is grasped by Siegfried where then by she takes on a more crystalline appearance. The blade itself also gains a bit of width with a forked design. After revealing herself to Xianghua, she takes on the form of a shimmering blue sword with a winged handguard where a crystal lies within.

In her first appearance, Soul Calibur is disguised as a Chinese Sword with a thin blade called Krita-Yuga. In contrast to Soul Edge's flesh and bone-like forms with an eye as the core, Soul Calibur has a crystalline and ice-like design with a glowing sphere.

Much like Soul Edge, Soul Calibur takes on various forms throughout the series but her form is most commonly some type of sword. 5.4 Soulcalibur IV/Soulcalibur: Broken Destiny.
