Soulcalibur: Broken Destiny[]

Soul Edge, as it appears in Soulcalibur: Broken Destiny
It, alongside Gurgitator, is one of the two unlockable weapons Cervantes has in Soulcalibur: Broken Destiny. It can be unlocked by clearing Trial of Attack or Trial of Defence mode with Cervantes (or a character using his style).
Trivia[]
- The versions seen in Soul Blade and the one used by Inferno in Soulcalibur III: Arcade Edition lack the pistol attachment. This is because Cervantes would only get the pistol-related attacks upon his return in the home console port of Soulcalibur. Inferno would lose all pistol-related attacks in Soulcalibur III: Arcade Edition, perhaps in an attempt to distinguish him from Cervantes.
- The design of Cervantes' Soul Edge in Soulcalibur III is the same as his version of Soul Edge (Complete) from Soulcalibur II. Designs used in later games bear more of a resemblance to Inferno's Soul Edge used in Soulcalibur III: Arcade Edition.
