Bat Calibur

The is a sword used by one of the leaders of the Gua Army, Juda. The weapon sees its semi-recurring appearance in the New Generation Heroes era of the Ultraman Series, even if Juda was mostly absent.
==History==
===Andro Melos===
The Bat Calibur made its first appearance as Juda's signature weapon, mostly used against the members of Andro Defense Force or as a form of authority over his minions.
===Ultra Fight Victory===
When Juda was revived by Yapool into Juda Spectre, he is seen using his Bat Calibur again to create Super Grand King Spectre, arming his monster with the same weapon. Ultraman Victory Knight enters Juda's space distortion to fight the alien conqueror as both Bat Calibur and the Knight Timbre clashed against one another in a swordfight. Both Bat Caliburs are destroyed alongside their users by the Ultras. 
===Ultraman X===
When Mold Spectre and Gina Spectre called Juda's spirit to form Gua Spectre, the Bat Calibur materialized as Gua's secondary weapon in addition to the Bat Axe. It also has the faces of Gina and Juda on each sides of the sword, allowing Mold to communicate with his siblings. The Bat Calibur was disarmed from Gua Spectre when Ultraman Gingavictory used Ultraman Dyna's Solgent Beam to destroy the sword. 
===Ultra Fight Orb===
When resurrected as a lifeless zombie by Reibatos, Juda Spectre is armed with the sword again, clashing against Ultraman Zero via his Zero Sluggers. 
===Ultra Galaxy Fight: The Absolute Conspiracy===
Juda and Mold Spectres were brought from their prime era of Andro Melos to the present day by Absolute Tartarus, hence making them Parallel Isotopes. By extension, they also retained their old weapons too in the process. The Bat Calibur was only seen swinging energy slashes when the brothers fought against Ultra Brothers and annihilated in the process, presumably taking their weapons with them too. 
===Ultraman Z===
The Bat Calibur was one of the many weapons looted by the first Alien Barossa. Once he was enlarged by Dada's Micronizer Machine, Barossa begins to whip out all of his handheld weapons and gather them in one place. The Bat Calibur was seen as one of the many weapons drawn out and stabbed to the ground alongside the rest of it. What happened to the sword after Barossa's death is unknown, though it's implied that it was simply abandoned. 
==Powers==
*Monster Creation: While empowered by the Victorium Core, Juda Spectre can use the Bat Calibur to fuse monster spirits he gathered from outer space and create Super Grand King Spectre outside of his space distortion.
*Energy Slash: Simply by swinging the blade forward, the Bat Calibur can conjure a slash of energy as a projectile towards the opponent.

==Trivia==
*Zamsher's madness under the Bat Calibur is a reference to the Murasame-maru, a fictional sword from the novel Nansō Satomi Hakkenden that also generates bloodlust as a result of wielding it.
*While similar in design, the Cyber Cards for Juda and Super Grand King Spectres each portray their Bat Caliburs differently; Juda represents a forked-like weapon with energy laser on its midsection, while Super Grand King Spectre had the entire blade itself represented in red energy construct.
*In Ultraman X, the Bat Calibur prop was slightly modified to include Juda and Gina's face as Mold Spectre's suit was repurposed to Gua Spectre without modifications. The faces were reused molds from the old Gua suit from Andro Melos.https://web.archive.org/web/20160219174913/http://blog.m-78.jp/2015/10/23/お待ちかねの第14話を配信！そして「宮野真守ドキ/
*In Ultraman Decker, the Gregore named Grace can be seen in his own rising scene accompanied by a quartet of swords, oddly resembling the Bat Calibur. These also act as pillars for his personal fighting ring, as a reference to the original Gregore's Blitz Ring formed by swords as pillars.Figure-Oh Vol. 300 page 68
