  • This sword and "Noble Arms - Caliburn" are both based on Excalibur, the legendary sword belonging to King Arthur
    • This card's name is a Latinized version of the sword's Welsh name, Caledfwlch. After the legend of King Arthur was introduced into French literature, "Caliburn" was translated to "Excalibur".
    • The fact that this card and "Excaliburn" are different cards likely reference how the sword in the stone is not Excalibur, but merely his father's sword to serve as proof of his being Uther's son.
  • This card's first effect preventing it from being targeted by the opponent's card effects is likely based on certain depictions of Excalibur's scabbard, which was said to have the ability to shield life, making it a near necessity on the battlefield.
  • This is the first and so far only "Noble Arms" Equip Spell that doesn't prevent the player from controlling more than one.
    • It also lacks the effect which lets it re-equip itself to a "Noble Knight" when it's destroyed, a trait shared by all the other "Noble Arms".
