| Soul Blade | Namco | 1997 | [100]***Soul Blade is one of the most popular arcade fighting games available and its heading to your home (at least it should be if you buy it). Soul Blade is especially impressive because of its superior motion-captured texture-mapped graphics and it's true light-sourcing. Coupled with challenging gameplay that emphasizes side-stepping counter-attacks and strategy Namco has made a fighting game worthy of the highest praises. A major element that elevates the quality of Soul Blade is its true 3D environment. This element not only proves useful in evading attacks but also for side stepping and attacking. Each player and opponent must constantly re-adjust to attack and defend from the new character positions. Even when a character is knocked to the ground it is an opportunity to recover and attack. While the attacks are powerful and cool to watch constant attacking will only take you so far in this game. Success lies in the ability to defend and counter-attack.*** [29]***Under the influence of the twin swords, Soul Edge, Cervantes slew his entire crew, and everybody in a nearby port town. After he was done, and with Soul Edge temporarily satisfied, he went to the ruins of the 'Black Tail Inn' to sleep in preparation for the birth of the 'Child of the Evil Sword.' Over the next 20 years, rumors about Soul Edge spread across the world. Some called it the 'Sword of Salvation,' some called it the 'Ultimate Weapon.' Some set out to find Soul Edge for their own purposes. Those who managed to reach Soul Edge wished they hadn't, as the evil blades devoured their souls. One woman, Sophitia, managed to destroy one of the swords in a battle to the death with Cervantes. Sophitia was injured by the fragments of Soul Edge. With half of Soul Edge destroyed, Cervantes became enraged, as if she had destroyed a part of his body. He was about to finish her off, when Taki stepped in. With his equilibrium broken, Cervantes lost to Taki in the end. Taki obtained a fragment of Soul Edge, and departed with the badly injured Sophitia, whose life hung by a thread. Siegfried, the 'Innocent Darkside,' was on his own quest to find Soul Edge, the 'Sword of Vengeance.' When he arrived, however, all he found was the corpse of a pirate. The sword clutched in its hand caught Siegfried's attention, so he approached the corpse... ...But suddenly, the corpse, engulfed in flames, rose up, as if the evil itself had possessed the pirates body. It had become the essence of the sword itself, Inferno. The corpse and the boy fought. Even though Siegfried's sword was so huge, he swung it effortlessly. His eyes were filled with madness as the sword cut the air with a roar. Siegfried won the battle, despite the fact that his sword broke. Then, he spotted Soul Edge again... ...Soul Edge had lost its host, and was on the verge of tearing itself apart, until Siegfried reached out and grasped the hilt... People around the world gazed at the beautiful pillar of light that pierced the clouds, not knowing that it was the Evil Seed, that would bring indescribable misfortune to the world.

| Soul Calibur | Namco | 1998 | Kilik was a member of the Ling-Sheng Su Temple. When the evil seed appeared, everyone inside it went insane and started killing each other. Kilik remained barely affected, using his own inner strength and the Dvapara-Yuga. In his own self defense, Kilik killed many temple members, including his sworn sister Xianglian. He passed out and woke up with Edge Master, who explained about Soul Edge, and the evil that was inside of him. Kilik set out on a quest to destroy Soul Edge. Eventually, he come across an Indian port town, where Maxi's crew was being attacked by Astaroth and some monsters. Kilik helped out, but when one of the monsters stole Dvapara-Yuga, Kilik went insane and attacked Maxi. Maxi managed to fight him off, but not before Astaroth killed the entire crew. Now that Maxi had nothing left, he decided to help Kilik destroy Soul Edge, with the intent of getting revenge on Astaroth. The two continued their quest and met up with Xianghua, who had the third Ling-Sheng Su Temple treasure (But none of them knew it). She decided that since she was under orders to find Soul Edge, she would go along with the two men. When the three reached Nightmare's stronghold, Astaroth was waiting for them. Maxi stayed behind to fight him while the others went ahead. Kilik fought Nightmare and won. When Inferno appeared, Kilik was too tired to fight it (or something), so Xianghua fought it instead. Before it attacked, Xianghua's Krita-Yuga became Soul Calibur, the good version of Soul Edge. Xianghua won against Inferno, but Inferno, Soul Calibur, and Nightmare got sucked into a void.

| SoulCalibur II | Namco | 2001 | [b]living weapons[/b] - the Soul Edge, though its nature in this capacity is a border case and mostly seen as such with Nightmare.***Raphael makes it to Nightmare in Ostrheinsburg Chapel, but he gets his ass handed to him. As Nightmare is standing over him, ready to finish him off, Siegfried decides that he's had enough. A nasty fight is taking place in Nightmare's mind. This buy's Raphael enough time to gather enough strength to attack and damage Soul Edge. This is enough for Siegfried to regain his mind. He casts off his evil armour. Soul Calibur appears. Siegfried, sensing the energy from this new sword, thrusts it into Soul Edge. This, however, isn't enough to destory it. Only weaken it, and the swords merge together. Siegfried takes them both, with the intention of neutralizing and destroying Soul Edge. Raphael somehow manages to make it home, where he is nursed back to health by Amy. Meanwhile, the spirit of Soul Edge is driven from the sword. Needing a host, it desperately clings to Nightmare's armour, which is now laying on the floor of Ostrheinsburg Chapel. However, it is impossible for the spirit to manipulate an unliving suit of armour, so it is basically helpless on the floor. Eventually, Zasalamel appears. Without speaking a word, the spirit and Zasalamel have a conversation. Zasalamel agrees to help the spirit, and creates a new body for it inside of the armour. This is the new Nightmare. Siegfried senses this familiar energy reawakening. He now has two tasks. To destroy the cursed sword Soul Edge, and to destroy the Azure Knight, Nightmare.
