Databook: Excalibur from Soul Eater

As the latest poll of the month showed, it's difficuly whether to hate or love this character. He can be easily the most powerful weapon in the history of Shibusen, yet he has such an annoying? awful? specific? dysfunctional? personality that no person on Earth has been able to withstand him yet, aside from King Arthur himself and Hero.

Excalibur's form is anthropomorphic, similar to a Disney cartoon. The author of the manga, Atsushi Okubo, said that he based this character on his own father. OMG!!! Can you imagine!! (talk about being mean to your parents!)

Excalibur's traits are those of the perfect British gentleman, resembling Fogg's character from the Jules Verne novel, Around the World in 80 days; a cold, meticulous old man who fired his last butler because the water to shave wasn't exactly at 80 C ° degrees.
The reaction that Excalibur gets from people

So, what is the actual truth about this character? comedy relief? filler material? There may be more to him, just as Lord Death has a 'dark days' personality that he hides. It is speculated that he may be one of the Eight Powerful Warriors and that he actually met Eibon, but there's no way to ask Excalibur himself since he will always give you a surrealist bloody Brit tale that he pulled from his top sushi roll British hat!


Excalibur's absurd rules:
