"Noble Arms", known as "Holy Sword" (聖（せい）剣（けん） Seiken) in Japanese, is an archetype of Equip Spell Cards that was 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 "Noble Arms" monster 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 "Excaliburn" and "Celestial Sword - Eatos") share following common effects:

• Each of them is side-unique.
• Equip only to a Warrior-Type monster.
• If this face-up card on the field is destroyed and sent to the Graveyard: You can target 1 face-up Warrior-Type "Noble Knight" monster you control; equip this card to that target.

Also, all "Noble Arms" Equip Spell Cards (with the exception of "Excaliburn" and "Celestial Sword - Eatos") have artworks that depict swords embedded in stones, a reference to the Arthurian legend of the Sword in the Stone.
