| - One of the three sacred treasures of the Ling Sheng-Su Temple Ruin. Dvapara-Yuga is a sacred mirror with the ability to purify anything (human beings or objects) corrupted with Evil Energy. Fragments of the Dvapara-Yuga are referred to as "Holy Stones". When the temple was raided by the Evil Seed, it was Dvapara-Yuga's power (along with Kilik's inner strength) that kept him from going berserk. It was handed to him by his sworn sister, Xianglian, to save his life at the cost of hers. During the battle against Nightmare, Dvapara-Yuga was shattered. Its fragments are still guarded by the Edge Master. Kilik still keeps a pendant that has a small piece of the Dvapara-Yuga as a purification tool. In Soulcalibur III, Kilik uses the Dvapara-Yuga in the Romanian Valley to bring people who have been infected with evil back to normal. So he was interfering with Raphael's plan to change the world for his foster daughter, Amy. But then Kilik was defeated by Zasalamel, and he lost his fragment of the Dvapara-Yuga during the battle. Raphael eventually got hold of the fragment, but it burned his hand. So he instantly destroyed it. Meanwhile, after Kilik defeated Edge Master during his training, he was given another fragment of the Dvapara-Yuga, and he began another journey. In Soulcalibur IV, Cassandra learns about the Holy Stone from her confrontation with Raphael, and found some people who were healed by a shining blue crystal. She even heard rumors about a man with a mass of crystal that was on his way to Ostrheinsburg and decides to follow him. However, she does not know that what she's really following is Soul Calibur. In Soulcalibur V, Leixia, Xianghua's daughter, wears the Dvapara-Yuga as a pendant on her collar as Kilik did on the previous installments, which was given to Leixia by her younger brother. It remains undetermined where he might have acquired it from. It could either have been given by Kilik or the Edge Master.
* Note: Dvapara-Yuga is counted in Kilik's profile in Soulcalibur, but it isn't actually used as a weapon.
* Dvapara-Yuga was once worn by Xianglian and later she passed it on to Kilik for her last will.
