* From the original ''Ghosts N' Goblins'', why is it the blue shield is supposed to be powerful enough to take out the final boss "The Devil", but isn't strong enough to take down any other minions like the "Satans" or "Unicorns"? Wouldn't that be like in ''Super Mario Bros.'' is Bowser was weak against fireballs, but fireballs were worthless against Hammer Brothers or Lakitus?

** It's probably a very specific characteristic of the shield that makes it powerful against the Devil and primarily so, not that it has enough ''raw'' power to damage him and anyone else weaker. Think of it like an InfinityPlusOneSword with a special enchantment that specifically pierces the Devil's unholy defenses and none of his minions'.

** It also makes more sense when you realize this was a {{Woolseyism}}, as the Shield was originally a Cross. Not very effective to throw crosses at any regular monsters, but it repels projectiles with its mystical properties and makes short work of the Devil himself.

** The sequel in general is a lot more morbid compared to the original, what with Prin-Prin getting murdered, and the carnage of the demon invasion being on full display. The sheer amount of death that followed in their wake practically makes it seem like the entire kingdom was wiped off the map, with Arthur being the SoleSurvivor by principal of not being there when it all hit.

** Considering in the arcade version of ''Ghouls n' Ghosts'' that nearly the first thing to happen upon returning after three years to save the kingdom is ''his horse getting disintegrated'' right before Prin-Prin gets shot as well, he probably didn't want to risk it.

**It's actually been shown that when Arthur fights non-demons, his armor still shatters in one hit. However, the flipside to this means that the armor will take ANY HIT before breaking. Shown to full effect in Project X Zone.
