This article is about an arsenal in Kamen Rider Saber. |
Caladbolg (カラドボルグ, Karadoborugu)[1] is the personal sword of Kamen Rider Solomon, created by the Omni Force Wonder Ride Book that can transform into the King of Solomon (キングオブソロモン, Kingu obu Soromon) mecha.
Design[]
The Caladbolg is composed of the following parts:
- Apotheosis Hilt (アポテオシスヒルト, Apoteoshisu Hiruto): The handle. It controls the large sword in response to the user's thoughts, enabling sword-like behavior. In addition, it is possible to amplify and release the power of the Omni Force Wonder Ride Book received through the user, and lead the world to collapse with the "Giant Book of the End".
- Divine Trigger (ディバイントリガー, Dibain Torigā): The trigger. It plays the role of a starter in various attacks, and activates special moves by trigger operation.
- Dominance Leg Guard (ドミナンスレガード, Dominansu Regādo): The knuckle guard. It has the role of protecting the user's hand from enemy attacks, and the end part can also be used as a striking weapon. It is also possible to form a force field centered on the user and reduce the unique abilities of the eleven Seiken.
- Versatile Edge (ヴァーサトルエッジ, Vuāsatoru Ejji): The jet-black blade making up the majority of the sword. By injecting the power of the Omni Force Wonder Ride Book, it is possible to launch a wide variety of slashes with the power of folklore. It is also possible to deploy a huge Caladbolg-shaped illumination and wipe out a wide area.

Abilities[]
Finishers[]
- Solomon Break (ソロモンブレイク, Soromon Bureiku): Has two variations.
- Solomon charges Caladbolg with crimson and black energy before thrusting the sword forward, sending the energy in the form of a blast towards the opponent.
- Solomon raises Caladbolg into the air with the sword surrounded in gold energy as a group of meteors appears above him. He then swings the sword downward, causing the meteors to crash into the opponents.
- Solomon Stlash (ソロモンストラッシュ, Soromon Sutorasshu): This finisher has five variations.
- Solomon creates a giant energy construct of Caladbolg that copies his movements and delivers a horizontal slash with it to a group of enemies.
- A giant version of the Omni Force Wonder Ride Book appears in the air and summons a giant copy of Caladbolg from its pages. The giant Caladbolg then performs a downward slash into the target.
- A giant version of the Omni Force Wonder Ride Book appears in the air and summons numerous giant copies of Caladbolg, some of which transform into King of Solomon and land on the ground.
- Solomon charges Caladbolg with red energy before his eyes glow and his entire body is surrounded by an aura of dark orange energy. He then performs two red energy slashes in an X formation, which combine and are sent toward the enemy.
- Solomon raises Caladbolg into the air with its blade covered in dark red energy. Numerous copies of Caladbolg then appear in the air and rain down on enemies.
- Solomon Zone (ソロモンゾーン, Soromon Zōn): This finisher has three variations.
- Spiraling orange energy surrounds Solomon before he raises Caladbolg into the air, creating a sustained red ray of energy that travels upward until striking one of the books that Solomon has suspended in the air. This causes the book to open and create a spherical red field of energy below it. Anything besides a Rider that touches the sphere is destroyed, leaving behind only rock and dust.
- Solomon transports himself and others to a different location in the form of a gold page turning.
- Solomon produces three bursts of energy, transforming the surroundings into the Wonder World. He then creates five meteors and launches them at the enemy, before creating a stream of many more meteors covered in purple energy. Next, Solomon charges Caladbolg with red energy and launches two orange energy slashes, with the first being horizontal and the second being vertical. Finally, he swings Caladbolg downward, summoning a giant copy of it and sending it toward the enemy.
Behind the Scenes[]
Etymology[]
Caladbolg is based on the titular sword with the same name, alternatively spelled Caladcholg, wielded by Fergus mac Róich, former king of Ulster, from the Ulster Cycle of Irish mythology. In fact, some said that Caladbolg is the original model of Excalibur.
Notes[]
- The Caladbolg is a repaint/retool of Kingexcalibur.
- Like the Kingexcalibur, it can summon a larger version of itself that is able to turn into a giant humanoid form.
- Much like Kingexcalibur, the Caladbolg is not a Seiken, so it does not have a corresponding element and does not share the Seikens' naming scheme.
