[[Category:s]] Soul Edge & Soul Calibur are the weapons Algol wields. There are eight versions of them, three of which are available by default and five of which must be purchased in Character Creation. To unlock them all, players must beat Story Mode with Algol and can then purchase them. While the swords themselves do not change in appearance from version to version, the stats and effects do, as well as the color of the aura around Algol's feet when fighting (for example, the stock weapons result in a blue aura, while the ultimate weapon has a white aura). Also, Talim has a version of Soul Edge & Soul Calibur.
