The possibility of Magical Excalibur Class Weapons in Dragonball

[FoolsGil]

It's something I think about from time to time. King Kold believing it wasn't Trunks' power that did Freeza in, but Trunks' sword itself, and Supreme Kai's belief the Z Sword can kill Buu, the implication being Buu can't regenerate when cut with it. Now, not sure where Supreme Kai heard of the legend of the Z Sword, but I think if Kold's thoughts are that a sword is powerful enough to kill Freeza, it's possible he's heard of such weapons. Thoughts? Could there be weapons that can kill anyone no matter their power, and it just comes down to actually laying the blow?

Honestly, nothing is out of the realm of possibility in the Universe. If there are things such as wish granting objects and techniques that can bring people together to fuse, I am sure that there are certain super weapons with capabilities that surpass any normal individual, but I'm pretty sure most of those kinds of people were wiped out during King Cold/Freeza's reign over the universe.

But another reason as to why Cold could believe that Freeza was dealt with so easily due to the supposed power of Trunks' sword could be because of the fact that there was no simple mortal powerful enough to face off against him or his son besides Son Goku, or it could be the fact of both, really as Cold was in denial and could have some bit of knowledge of super powerful objects/weapons of the past.

Good question tbh.

[Polyphase Avatron]

Well there are the angel staves which seem to be plot devices that can do basically anything.

[Melee_Sovereign]

Well there's the Power Pole.

[FoolsGil]

Well there's the Power Pole.

Magical, but not a weapon that could kill a being thousands to millions stronger than the wielder.

Didn't Super Dragon Ball Heroes kind of prove this concept? With the Key sword, that was the only way they were able to beat/seal Dark King Mechikabura

Well I don't watch Dragonball Heroes so I'll take your word for it, though it doesn't necessarily take place in the same continuity as other Dragonball media. When you get to SSJ4 Broly you lost me.

Yeah, I don't watch Dragon Ball Heroes, either. Personally don't see the appeal in it. I'd have to force myself to watch it to be honest - feels all over the place judging by what I've seen so far.

It definitely is all over the place to be honest. But I understand it's just a promotional anime for the game, so it doesn't bother me much.
As far as its continuity compared to the main plot, that's irrelevant. It's a popular and more importantly official product from the creators of Dragon Ball. Only reason I mentioned it is because the Key Sword is a strong weapon that helps defeat strong villains, that's actually a part of Dragon Ball media officially.

The ideas in Heroes are neat, but the execution of the anime is horrendous. It would be much better if the episodes were of normal length/about 24 minutes.

[DragonBallFoodie]

I was thinking something like in the Fate saga: each Hero summoned wields a Noble Phantasm, a weapon based on their myth.

For instance:
Gilgamesh wields the Gate of Babylon, an armory that contains everything. It befits his status as one of history's earliest rulers.




Atalanta wields a pelt that turns her feral. This pelt comes from the Calydonian Boar, the most ferocious boar of its kind; Atalanta was able to kill it and took its skin as a prize.




And Alexander the Great wields the Ionioi Hetairoi (Eternal Company), a troop of Alexander's most loyal soldiers.




As mentioned, it's not impossible for a weapon like that to appear in DB. But since this franchise is based on martial arts and superpowers, I don't know whether we'll see any special weapons in the future.
