Caliburn, also known as Collbrande, is one of the legendary Holy Swords and is additionally known as the Holy King Sword and the Sword in the Stone.

Summary

Caliburn is the Sword in the Stone that chooses the King in the legend of King Arthur. It is one of the two Holy Swords wielded by the Legendary King of Britain, King Arthur Pendragon, of Camelot.

The strongest Holy Sword, Caliburn, is the only Holy Sword to not be kept under the control of the Church or Heaven after the Great War, but by King Arthur’s descendants, the Pendragon family, as both a family heirloom and a national treasure of the United Kingdom. Caliburn is currently wielded by Arthur Pendragon of the Vali Team, a descendant of the original King Arthur.

Appearance

Caliburn has a grip long enough that appears as a two-handed sword with a round pommel at the end, a huge cross-like shaped guard and a long blade with a gold colored edge.

Abilities

Caliburn is the most powerful Holy Sword in existence, known as the Holy King Sword and the famed Sword in the Stone, being an important treasure passed down along the lines of the Pendragon House. As such, it can release an enormous amount of aura, surpassing even the True Excalibur and Durandal, as well as causing the former Dragon King and Ultimate-Class Devil, Tannin to feel unnvered about.

Caliburn is proven to be capable of wounding one of Fenrir's sons, tearing off their eyes, claws, and fangs; eliminating hundred of Grim Reapers acting as Hades' guard, and bypass the Ladon-type Evil Dragons's barriers. However, it has been stated that despite his talents, surpassing his father, Uther, Arthur was much too immature, vain, and inflexible to bring out Caliburn's true potential, thus making it impossible for him to defeat Vasco Strada, who'd returned to his prime, wielding Durandal II. Having improved himself, Arthur gained much better control of Caliburn, clashing with Sun Wukong's Ruyi Jingu Bang, and then smashed apart the nails of Alphecca Tyrant.

Caliburn has shown the ability to tear through space itself, teleporting the user from location to location via the portals opened, which could be used to strike opponents in their blindspots, etc.. In BorN, it has been shown that Caliburn can also manipulate space to an extent, producing a protective barrier to explore the Dimensional Gap without being exposed to the "nothingness".

Trivia

  • Caliburn is another name for Excalibur in Arthurian Legend and so has the exact same meaning.
  • Due to being the personal weapon of the legendary British King, Caliburn is considered a national treasure of the United Kingdom. Despite the Pendragon Family no longer being considered royalty but a British noble family in the current era, they are allowed to keep Caliburn as a heirloom.
