Excalibur Proto

:This page is about the Fate/Prototype Noble Phantasm. For the Fate/stay night Noble Phantasm, see Excalibur. For the Fate/strange Fake Noble Phantasm, see Excalibur (Richard the Lionheart).
, differentiated from the Excalibur of Fate/stay night as in Hanafuda, is a Divine Construct and the golden holy sword of King Arthur. Differing from that of Saber's Excalibur, it is a double-sealed weapon locked by two seals, Invisible Air and the Restraints of the Round Table. It is the shining holy sword that saves the planet. A golden blade that repels pretty much any evil, built to defeat an outside enemy that destroys the planet.Fate/Grand Order Profile of Arthur Pendragon, translated by Master of Chaos at Beast's Lair.
The Strongest Illusion. One drop of the planet’s light. Crossing over all periods of time, it is the unfulfilled dream itself of many humans. After having lost the Sword of Selection, it is reported that this Sacred Sword was brought to Arthur by the Lady of the Lake. Even in spite of being equipped with a condition where its true power is being restricted due to its sheath, which is endowed with the “Thirteen Restraints” that were designated with the names of the Knights of the Round Table, it still has a power befitting an Anti-Fortress classification.
If seven or more seals are released, the sword's true power as a Divine Construct to save the world is released, but otherwise, it still acts as a powerful Anti-Fortress Noble Phantasm.Fate/Prototype: Fragments of Blue and Silver - Volume 5: Whether it is a battle to use the Holy Sword of the planet, the Divine Construct to save the world...Holy Sword, 6 restraints released! Unfortunately, a majority was unable to be reached. A perfect release of the True Name is unable to be realized. Even so, light emits. An Anti-Fortress Noble Phantasm with domineering strength... The seals remain locked until he activates it, causing a series of clanking sounds as the Restraints are lifted one by one. Activated to counter Enki, it releases as an expanding pillar of light that cleaves both the "Star of Destruction" and Archer with a single strike and vaporising the sea.Prototype material
Even without releasing its True Name, Excalibur is still able to release its slash of light that varies in strength but are all weaker than its Anti-Fortress attack; however, it can be further enhanced in its destructive power by his Mana Burst Skill. One was powerful enough to counter the Sword of Paracelsus Noble Phantasm attack, while another overrided its power snatching ability.Fate/Prototype: Fragments of Blue and Silver: Arc 5, Act 5, Part 3-D, translated by PhoenixRising at Beast's Lair. With six Restraints released, Excalibur's Anti-Fortress attack was powerful enough to defeat the rampaging Beast after the death of Manaka Sajyou.Fate/Prototype: Fragments of Blue and Silver: Arc 5, Final Act, Part 3-D, translated by PhoenixRising at Beast's Lair.
In Fate/Grand Order, the sword takes on the shape of when six of the holy sword's "Thirteen Restraints" are released. Although it still cannot display its true power since over half of its restraints (in other words, seven or more) have not been released, even so, this is unmistakably an intense light that defeats a great evil. The release of the "Bedivere Restraint" is automatically being acknowledged, making one consider the hypothesis of a decisive battle against a greater being.
