"'''Noble Knight'''", referred to as "'''Sacred Knight'''" in the anime and some video games, and known as "'''Holy Knight'''" ({{Ruby|聖|せい}}{{Ruby|騎|き}}{{Ruby|士|し}} ''Seikishi'') in the ''OCG'', is an [[archetype]] of [[LIGHT]], [[DARK]], and [[FIRE]] [[Warrior]] monsters used by [[Sherry LeBlanc]] in the ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's]]'' anime, by [[Kento Naito]] in the [[Yu-Gi-Oh! D Team ZEXAL]] manga and by [[Shoma Yusa]] in the ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG Structures]]'' manga.

"'''Noble Knight'''", referred to as "'''Sacred Knight'''" in the anime and some video games, and known as "'''Holy Knight'''" ({{Ruby|聖|せい}}{{Ruby|騎|き}}{{Ruby|士|し}} ''Seikishi'') in the ''OCG'', is an [[archetype]] of [[LIGHT]] and [[DARK]] [[Attribute]] [[Warrior]]-[[Type]] monsters used by [[Sherry LeBlanc]] in ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's]]''. It was introduced in the ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's Tag Force 5 Strategy Guide]]'' and received its first support in ''[[Return of the Duelist]]'' with "[[Noble Arms - Gallatin]]". All the male "Noble Knights" are based on the Round Table of Arthurian legend. The "[[Noble Arms]]" archetype is comprised of weapons used by those Knights and lends support to this archetype.
+
It was introduced in the ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's Tag Force 5 Advance Tag Duel promotional card|Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's Tag Force 5 Strategy Guide]]'' and received its first support in ''[[Return of the Duelist]]'' with "[[Noble Arms - Gallatin]]".
  
 +
The original "Noble Knights" (except "Noble Knight Joan") are based on the [[wikipedia:Round Table|Knights of the Round Table]] of Arthurian legend, or on related concepts from Arthurian legend. The "[[Noble Arms]]" archetype supports this archetype, and encompasses weapons used by those knights. These "Noble Knights" and "Noble Arms" were primarily introduced as [[TCG Exclusives]] starting with "[[Noble Knight Artorigus]]" in ''[[Galactic Overlord]]''.
 +
This archetype is related to the "[[Artorigus]]" and "[[Laundsallyn]]" archetypes. These two archetypes are only supported by "[[Avalon]]", which only supports members of those archetypes that are also "Noble Knight" monsters.
 +
 +
''[[Structure Deck R: Warriors' Strike‎‎]]'' introduced the [[Infernoble Knight]] sub-series which is based on characters from the epic poem, ''[[wikipedia:The Song of Roland|The Song of Roland]]''. They're related to the "[[Roland (archetype)|Roland]]" archetype.
 +
 +
==Naming in the ''TCG''==
 +
*In Italian, Portuguese and Spanish, the archetype names are respectively "Nobile Cavaliere", "Nobre Cavaleiro" and "Noble Caballero", with the adjective meaning "Noble" coming before the noun meaning "Knight". This is to make sure that the [[List of "Noble Knight" support cards|support cards]] work well with "Ignoble Knight" cards which are called "Ignobile Cavaliere", "Inobre Cavaleiro" and "Innoble Caballero"; however, in these languages the "[[Noble Arms]]" archetype has the adjective after the noun meaning "Arms". In French, the adjective is placed after the noun in both cases of "Noble Knight" ("Chevalier Noble") and "Noble Arms" ("Armes Nobles"), as "Ignoble Knight" cards are simply named "Chevalier Noble Infâme" (literally "Infamous Noble Knight").
 +
*There is no [[wikipedia:Agreement (linguistics)|agreement]] on the noun phrase "Noble Knight" in English (the plural form is simply "Noble Knights", with no change reflected on the adjective "Noble"). However, in other languages there is, which makes the naming of the archetype potentially complicated.
 +
**Plural forms are never used in French, German and Spanish card names, as shown on "[[Artorigus, King of the Noble Knights]]", "[[Noble Knight Brothers]]", "[[Last Chapter of the Noble Knights]]" and "[[Noble Knights of the Round Table]]".
 +
**An ungrammatical plural form is used in Portuguese ("Nobre Cavaleiros"), without making the adjective "Nobre" agree, as shown on "Last Chapter of the Noble Knights" and "Noble Knights of the Round Table".
 +
**In Italian, agreement is still applied on "Noble Knight Brothers", "Last Chapter of the Noble Knights" and "Noble Knights of the Round Table", with the plural form being "Nobili Cavalieri". This makes support confusing for a few "Noble Knight" support cards, such as "Noble Knight Brothers", "[[Ignoble Knight of High Laundsallyn]]" and "Artorigus, King of the Noble Knights".

====Support====

The archetype based on three playing styles: Spell/Trap Card control (With the effect of "[[Noble Arms - Arfeudutyr]]" and "[[Artorigus, King of the Noble Knights]]"), Equip Spells for Warrior-Type monsters with various effects (with 4 released so far) and [[LIGHT]] Normal Monsters (1 of them being a Normal Monster itself and 3 treated as one while face-up on the field).

−
[[Gemini monster]]s like "[[Elemental HERO Neos Alius]]" and "[[Knight Dei Grepher]]" can be useful in this Deck since they are treated as Normal Monsters on the field, making the Special Summon of "[[Noble Knight Gawayn]]" and "[[Ignoble Knight of Black Laundsallyn]]" easier and can be used with "[[Gemini Spark]]" for [[card advantage]]. It is a great idea to run "[[Honest]]" in the Deck since they all are LIGHT  monsters (except the two "Laundsallyns").
+
===Other===
 +
====Sherry LeBlanc's Knights====
 +
:''See the page on the [[Fleur]] series for more.''
 +
Several of [[Sherry LeBlanc]]'s monsters are "Noble Knight" monsters/support due to coincidentally containing the archetype's Japanese name in their own. They are not thematically related to the rest of the "Noble Knight" cards.

For the [[Extra Deck]], it is suggested to run [[Xyz Monster]]s that require Warrior or LIGHT monsters as materials, like the "[[Heroic Champion]]s", "[[Comics Hero King Arthur]]", "[[Blade Armor Ninja]]", "[[Constellar Omega]]" and "[[Starliege Paladynamo]]".
+
==Playing style==
 +
The archetype relies on equipping the "Noble Knights" with the "Noble Arms" Spell Cards and take advantage of this, either by [[Noble Knight Borz|searching]] for more support or simply [[Noble Knight Drystan|destroying]] cards. There are also some "Noble Knights" that behave like [[Gemini monster]]s, being treated as Normal monsters while they are not equipped with a "Noble Arms" card. Once equipped, they gain an effect, and with the exception of "Gwalchavad", all of them become DARK and increase their Level by 1, in order to assist the Xyz Summon of "[[Sacred Noble Knight of King Artorigus]]" or the effect of "[[Lady of the Lake]]" to Synchro Summon "[[Ignoble Knight of High Laundsallyn]]". The "pure" Level 5 "Noble Knights" can be Special Summoned from the hand and/or Graveyard and also serve to speed up the aforementioned Xyz/Synchro Summons.
  
−
{{clear}}
+
The aforementioned "Noble Arms" are Equip Spell Cards in the shape of swords with a broad variety of effects, that range from offensive effects like [[Noble Arms - Arfeudutyr|destroying]] cards or giving [[Noble Arms - Gallatin|ATK boost]] to support/defensive effects like [[Noble Arms of Destiny|protecting]] against destruction and [[Noble Arms - Excaliburn|targeting]] effects. With the exception of "Excaliburn", all of them can re-equip to a "Noble Knight" you control when they are destroyed and sent to the Graveyard, so that even if you Special Summon a Extra Deck "Noble Knight", by using materials that were equipped with "Noble Arms", those Spell Cards will re-equip themselves to that new monster.

"Noble Knight", referred to as "Sacred Knight" in the anime and some video games, and known as "Holy Knight" (聖（せい）騎（き）士（し） Seikishi) in the OCG, is an archetype of LIGHT, DARK, and FIRE Warrior monsters used by Sherry LeBlanc in the Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's anime, by Kento Naito in the Yu-Gi-Oh! D Team ZEXAL manga and by Shoma Yusa in the Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG Structures manga.

It was introduced in the Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's Tag Force 5 Strategy Guide and received its first support in Return of the Duelist with "Noble Arms - Gallatin".

The original "Noble Knights" (except "Noble Knight Joan") are based on the Knights of the Round Table of Arthurian legend, or on related concepts from Arthurian legend. The "Noble Arms" archetype supports this archetype, and encompasses weapons used by those knights. These "Noble Knights" and "Noble Arms" were primarily introduced as TCG Exclusives starting with "Noble Knight Artorigus" in Galactic Overlord. This archetype is related to the "Artorigus" and "Laundsallyn" archetypes. These two archetypes are only supported by "Avalon", which only supports members of those archetypes that are also "Noble Knight" monsters.

Structure Deck R: Warriors' Strike‎‎ introduced the Infernoble Knight sub-series which is based on characters from the epic poem, The Song of Roland. They're related to the "Roland" archetype.

Naming in the TCG[edit]

  • In Italian, Portuguese and Spanish, the archetype names are respectively "Nobile Cavaliere", "Nobre Cavaleiro" and "Noble Caballero", with the adjective meaning "Noble" coming before the noun meaning "Knight". This is to make sure that the support cards work well with "Ignoble Knight" cards which are called "Ignobile Cavaliere", "Inobre Cavaleiro" and "Innoble Caballero"; however, in these languages the "Noble Arms" archetype has the adjective after the noun meaning "Arms". In French, the adjective is placed after the noun in both cases of "Noble Knight" ("Chevalier Noble") and "Noble Arms" ("Armes Nobles"), as "Ignoble Knight" cards are simply named "Chevalier Noble Infâme" (literally "Infamous Noble Knight").
  • There is no agreement on the noun phrase "Noble Knight" in English (the plural form is simply "Noble Knights", with no change reflected on the adjective "Noble"). However, in other languages there is, which makes the naming of the archetype potentially complicated.
    • Plural forms are never used in French, German and Spanish card names, as shown on "Artorigus, King of the Noble Knights", "Noble Knight Brothers", "Last Chapter of the Noble Knights" and "Noble Knights of the Round Table".
    • An ungrammatical plural form is used in Portuguese ("Nobre Cavaleiros"), without making the adjective "Nobre" agree, as shown on "Last Chapter of the Noble Knights" and "Noble Knights of the Round Table".
    • In Italian, agreement is still applied on "Noble Knight Brothers", "Last Chapter of the Noble Knights" and "Noble Knights of the Round Table", with the plural form being "Nobili Cavalieri". This makes support confusing for a few "Noble Knight" support cards, such as "Noble Knight Brothers", "Ignoble Knight of High Laundsallyn" and "Artorigus, King of the Noble Knights".

Sherry LeBlanc's Knights[edit]

See the page on the Fleur series for more.

Several of Sherry LeBlanc's monsters are "Noble Knight" monsters/support due to coincidentally containing the archetype's Japanese name in their own. They are not thematically related to the rest of the "Noble Knight" cards.

Card Origin
Horse of the Floral Knights N/A
Noble Knight Joan Joan of Arc
Noble Knight's Shield-Bearer N/A
Noble Knight's Spearholder

Playing style[edit]

The archetype relies on equipping the "Noble Knights" with the "Noble Arms" Spell Cards and take advantage of this, either by searching for more support or simply destroying cards. There are also some "Noble Knights" that behave like Gemini monsters, being treated as Normal monsters while they are not equipped with a "Noble Arms" card. Once equipped, they gain an effect, and with the exception of "Gwalchavad", all of them become DARK and increase their Level by 1, in order to assist the Xyz Summon of "Sacred Noble Knight of King Artorigus" or the effect of "Lady of the Lake" to Synchro Summon "Ignoble Knight of High Laundsallyn". The "pure" Level 5 "Noble Knights" can be Special Summoned from the hand and/or Graveyard and also serve to speed up the aforementioned Xyz/Synchro Summons.

The aforementioned "Noble Arms" are Equip Spell Cards in the shape of swords with a broad variety of effects, that range from offensive effects like destroying cards or giving ATK boost to support/defensive effects like protecting against destruction and targeting effects. With the exception of "Excaliburn", all of them can re-equip to a "Noble Knight" you control when they are destroyed and sent to the Graveyard, so that even if you Special Summon a Extra Deck "Noble Knight", by using materials that were equipped with "Noble Arms", those Spell Cards will re-equip themselves to that new monster.
