** ''Series/PowerRangersLostGalaxy'': The five Quasar Sabers from the planet Mirinoi, which like Caliburn/Excalibur are firmly planted inside a stone until the chosen ones finally pull them. The only Ranger born on Mirinoi, Maya, had already tried to remove one as a kid, so either she spent all that time trying to free the ''wrong'' saber or the sabers themselves have some say in when they're released. They're not one-to-one, either, as two of the sabers are [[TakeUpMySword passed on]] during the series; Mike Corbett drew the Red Saber originally but passed it on to his brother Leo before he apparently died, and after [[spoiler:Pink Ranger Kendrix was killed in battle, her spirit appeared to pass her saber on to former villain Astronema/Karone]]. The question of 'why don't you just smash the rocks' is also addressed: [[TheDragon Furio's]] first instinct upon his failure to pull the sword out is to try that...[[NoSell and he can't even scratch the rocks]], something he himself remarks is insane, implying the magical spell protecting the swords is also protecting the rock.

Added DiffLines:

* The Protector in ''Literature/TheStarloreLegacy''. In ''LORE'', it ''vaporizes'' a Reekojan marine who puts it on without Ell Yon's permission. This same kind of thing apparently continues to happen in the centuries that Daeson and friends skip over in ''OATH'', to the point where the Rayleans don't even dare to try and don the Protector any more.

*** Senji Muramasa is able to forge Tsumukari Muramasa, a recreation of the legendary sword Kusanagi-no-Tachi. Since he isn't a god or demigod, using the sword kills him. However, when he gets properly summoned as a Servant, he can use Tsumukari Muramasa as many times as he wants, likely because he is creating slightly weaker versions to mitigate the backlash. He expresses awe for Ibuki-Douji, a wielder of the actual Kusanagi.

He expresses awe for Ibuki-Douji, a wielder of the actual Kusanagi. Also, he can loan his swords to others as long as they are powerful and skilled enough to handle them, like when he loans the sword Myoujingiri Muramasa to Miyamoto Musashi.

* ''WesternAnimation/DuckTales2017'': Scrooge at one time acquired an Excaliber-expy weapon and put it in his backyard as decoration. It can only be drawn by the True King of Britain. [[spoiler:When the giant mechanical Gilded Man of El Dorado is activated and wrecking the estate, it tries to draw the sword and fails. It instead lifts the sword resulting in about a cubic yard of earth being ripped up too, clinging to the end of the sword like a mace or toothpick with a small sausage on it, and then tries to bludgeon the heroes with it.]]
