Mi-Na is the original polearm character in the series. She has excellent reach, speed, and mobility, but her damage is subpar and she gets put into disadvantage rather easily if her attacks are continually blocked. She was succeeded by Kilik, but she remained as a secret character, having gained some moves from Hwang. To avoid eventually becoming a "model-swap" of Kilik, her style kept changing over time, discarding and gaining different stances and attacks altogether.

*ArtefactOfDoom: Is incredibly ancient, and seeks to devour all life.
* BiggerBad: Is the puppet-master pulling Nightmare's strings.
* DemonicPossession: Inflicts this on its wielder.
* EldritchAbomination: While it started out as an ordinary sword, according to Darth Vader's intro in ''IV'' Soul Edge is the physical manifestation of "[a being] that could best ve described as a convergent energy [form]". Furthermore, when damaged it retreats into an EldritchLocation called Astral Chaos and either repairs itself or scatters its shards around the world, and its power [[BodyHorror transforms]] those infected by it into monsters called Malfested.
** HumanoidAbomination: Not Soul Edge itself, but Charade is a conglomerate of Soul Edge's shards in roughly human form. Nightmare in ''III'' is Inferno possessing Siegfried's discarded armour, and in ''IV'' said armour has become an extension of Soul Edge itself.
* EyesDoNotBelongThere: Has an eye in its hilt, and some of its forms are studded with eyeballs.
* FisherKing: Its power taints the city of Ostrheinsburg, turning it into a [[EldritchLocation cursed place]] that is [[TheNecrocracy haunted by the ghosts of those who have died there.]]
* GrandTheftMe: If the wielder of Soul Edge is weak willed or unable to best Inferno in a BattleInTheCenterOfTheMind, then he/she will become the sword's host. And even if they do win, it's only a matter of time...
* MadeOfEvil: Soul Edge was once a normal sword until it tasted too much blood on the battlefield, giving it sentience and an evil soul called Inferno.
* MoreThanMindControl: If it doesn't outright take over its host, it manipulates them to serve its interests.
* OmnicidalManiac: Its ''raison d'etre'' is to kill.
* PillarOfLight: The Evil Seed, which infected thousands of people with its power and scattered shards across the world.
* SealedEvilInADuel: In ''III'' Siegfried attempted to destroy Soul Edge with Soul Calibur, but failed due to Inferno escaping into his discarded armour and only ended up merging the swords into the Soul Embrace.
* WeaponTropes
** {{BFS}}: Its original and most common form is a two-handed sword.
** DualWielding: Took the form of two longswords when wielded by Cervantes.
** EmpathicWeapon: Has a mind and will of its own (see Inferno above), and actively tries to influence and take over its wielder.
** EvilWeapon: Provides the trope image.
** LivingWeapon: Has a moving, blinking eye in its hilt, and is composed of a twisted fusion of flesh, bone, and metal.
** ShapeshifterWeapon: Can change shape to accommodate its wielder's fighting style.
* WillOfIron: The only ones able to successfully resist its influence were Algol and [[spoiler: Pyrrha.]]
* WreckedWeapon: One half of it was shattered at the end of ''Soul Edge'', and following that Nightmare's goal - as well as that of several other antagonists and protagonists - is to collect the scattered shards.
* {{Yandere}}: It seems to have a fixation on either reclaiming or killing Siegfried.
* YinYangClash: With its UnholyHolySword counterpart Soul Calibur.
** YinYangBomb: As the Embrace of Souls in ''IV''
* YourSoulIsMine: Devours the souls of its victims to become more powerful.

*ArtefactOfDoom: Is incredibly ancient, and seeks to devour all life.
* BiggerBad: Is the puppet-master pulling Nightmare's strings.
* DemonicPossession: Inflicts this on its wielder.
* EldritchAbomination: While it started out as an ordinary sword, according to Darth Vader's intro in ''IV'' Soul Edge is the physical manifestation of "[a being] that could best ve described as a convergent energy [form]". Furthermore, when damaged it retreats into an EldritchLocation called Astral Chaos and either repairs itself or scatters its shards around the world, and its power [[BodyHorror transforms]] those infected by it into monsters called Malfested.
** HumanoidAbomination: Not Soul Edge itself, but Charade is a conglomerate of Soul Edge's shards in roughly human form. Nightmare in ''III'' is Inferno possessing Siegfried's discarded armour, and in ''IV'' said armour has become an extension of Soul Edge itself.
* EyesDoNotBelongThere: Has an eye in its hilt, and some of its forms are studded with eyeballs.
* FisherKing: Its power taints the city of Ostrheinsburg, turning it into a [[EldritchLocation cursed place]] that is [[TheNecrocracy haunted by the ghosts of those who have died there.]]
* GrandTheftMe: If the wielder of Soul Edge is weak willed or unable to best Inferno in a BattleInTheCenterOfTheMind, then he/she will become the sword's host. And even if they do win, it's only a matter of time...
* MadeOfEvil: Soul Edge was once a normal sword until it tasted too much blood on the battlefield, giving it sentience and an evil soul called Inferno.
* MoreThanMindControl: If it doesn't outright take over its host, it manipulates them to serve its interests.
* OmnicidalManiac: Its ''raison d'etre'' is to kill.
* PillarOfLight: The Evil Seed, which infected thousands of people with its power and scattered shards across the world.
* SealedEvilInADuel: In ''III'' Siegfried attempted to destroy Soul Edge with Soul Calibur, but failed due to Inferno escaping into his discarded armour and only ended up merging the swords into the Soul Embrace.
* WeaponTropes
** {{BFS}}: Its original and most common form is a two-handed sword.
** DualWielding: Took the form of two longswords when wielded by Cervantes.
** EmpathicWeapon: Has a mind and will of its own (see Inferno above), and actively tries to influence and take over its wielder.
** EvilWeapon: Provides the trope image.
** LivingWeapon: Has a moving, blinking eye in its hilt, and is composed of a twisted fusion of flesh, bone, and metal.
** ShapeshifterWeapon: Can change shape to accommodate its wielder's fighting style.
* WillOfIron: The only ones able to successfully resist its influence were Algol and [[spoiler: Pyrrha.]]
* WreckedWeapon: One half of it was shattered at the end of ''Soul Edge'', and following that Nightmare's goal - as well as that of several other antagonists and protagonists - is to collect the scattered shards.
* {{Yandere}}: It seems to have a fixation on either reclaiming or killing Siegfried.
* YinYangClash: With its UnholyHolySword counterpart Soul Calibur.
** YinYangBomb: As the Embrace of Souls in ''IV''
* YourSoulIsMine: Devours the souls of its victims to become more powerful.
