The Gods of Nippon are very powerful. We are no longer worshiped as once we were, but we have adapted. Times have changed, and we have changed with them. We are expanding – assimilating other pantheons, later gods, new altars and icons. Marilyn Monroe is ours now, as are King Kong and Lady Liberty.

But "Callandor" doesn't sound like "Excalibur", which is the name most people attribute to the legendary sword. Unless someone is learned in the Welsh language and Arthurian lore, I doubt anyone would have noticed besides Callandor just being the "sword" stuck in the "Stone" of Tear.

"Mah'alleinir" on the other hand sounds very much like "Mjolnir", added on to the fact that their both enchanted hammers.
