Since the age of kings and knights; the swords have been considered more than a weapon. In fact, in many tales and records, they’re seen as an extension of the hand who wielded them. Signs of honor and bravery; they have inspired many epic poems, movies, and video games of any age and kingdoms.

Starting from the Far East, we can discover mythical swords like Ama-no-Habakiri (天羽々斬) used by Shinto god Susanoo to slay the Orochi Dragon; the Cheng Ying (程影), an elegant sword of China’s Zhou Dynasty era, and considered one of the ten legendary swords of the Middle Kingdom; or the Usumidori (薄緑) the katana of Minamoto no Yoshitsune, used during the Genpei War, and many other ones. But obviously, these kinds of legendary weapons can be found also in Western Countries. And without any doubt the most famous one is Excalibur. Appeared for the very first time in the 13^th Century poem Merlin wrote by the French knight-poem Robert de Boron this is the King Arthur’s magical sword thanks to which he could rule over the whole Britain. Appearing in thousands of different opuses; it played a very important role in the spread of “Arthurian legend”, giving it a supernatural help to win over the millennial war for pop-culture supremacy!

Gleaning to all these legendary weapons; in 1996 Namco has released the first episode of one of the most acclaimed IPs of all time; the Soul series. With more than 12 million copies sold worldwide, these weapon-based fighting series comprise 10 installments released for any console and mobile device. The story focus around two supernatural swords; the Soul Edge and the Soul Calibur!

The previous is an evil sword who possess a cursed spirit commonly known as Inferno who devour the soul of anyone dare to hold it. Granting an incredible amount of strength to its owner; the Soul Edge changes him or her into a demonic mindless creature which only mission is to placate the inexhaustible bloodlust of the sword. During the centuries many aspiring warriors used it believing to be stronger than Inferno, but most of them failed miserably. People like Cervantes de Leon, Nightmare, or the great hero king Algol has been manipulated by the Soul Edge becoming nothing but puppets. The latter instead has been forged to combat the Soul Edge. Also known as “Sword of Light”, since the ancient time it has been wielded by heroes like Chai Xianghua, Siegfried Schtauffen and even by King Arthur who renamed it Excalibur. Kept in the Ling-Sheng Su Temple; this is one of the three sacred treasures which has the power to purify the world from the wickedness of the Soul Edge.
