Portrayals of King Arthur's sword Excalibur as the "Sword in the Stone". This is not the way the Arthurian Legend usually goes: Excalibur was the sword given to Arthur by the Lady of the Lake. The one embedded in rock was nothing special (in most versions), except that it signified the right of the King to rule. This is either due to not doing the research after decades of Lost in Imitation or Adaptation Distillation. Not to be confused with Excalibur in the Rust. See also Cowboy Bebop at His Computer. Examples of Excalibur in the Stone include:

This is either due to not doing the research after decades of Lost in Imitation or Adaptation Distillation. Of course, even if you do do the research, you'll find that there isn't all that much agreement on what the sword was meant to be originally: Some say the name Excalibur originally comes from "Ex Calce Liberatus", meaning "Liberated from the Stone". Geoffrey of Monmouth's History of the Kings of Britain only has Caliburn, which is neither pulled from a stone nor delivered from a lake, and Sir Thomas Malory's Le Morte Darthur refers to both swords as Excalibur.
