"Noble Arms", known as "Holy Sword" (聖（せい）剣（けん） Seiken) in Japanese, is an archetype of Equip Spell Cards introduced in Return of the Duelist. It is based around the tales of the Knights of the Round Table and supports the "Noble Knight" archetype. The first support for the archetype was introduced in Abyss Rising with the release of "Ignoble Knight of Black Laundsallyn". The first and currently only "Noble Arms" Monster Card was introduced in Legacy of the Valiant with the release of "Gwenhwyfar, Queen of Noble Arms".

"Celestial Sword - Eatos" is also a "Noble Arms" card because it has 「聖（せい）剣（けん）」 in its Japanese name, but it is unrelated to the other "Noble Arms" cards and the "Noble Knights". In the TCG, it has an archetype condition to clarify this.

All "Noble Arms" Equip Spell Cards (with the exception of "Noble Arms - Excaliburn" and "Celestial Sword - Eatos") share the following common effects:

• Each of them is side-unique.
• They can only be equipped to Warrior-Type monsters.
• If destroyed while face-up on the field and sent to the Graveyard, the player can target 1 face-up Warrior-Type "Noble Knight" monster they control and equip the destroyed card to that target.

In addition, all "Noble Arms" Equip Spell Cards (again, except "Excaliburn" and "Celestial Sword - Eatos") have artworks that depict a sword embedded in stone, a reference to the Arthurian legend of the Sword in the Stone.
