Also mythical aspect on KOTR is stronger by fact, saying its weak, is like denial to fact about how Merlin is already like archetype for most European archwizard figures. Paladins got their mythicals aspect after how KOTR popular, thus additional knights like Astolfo and Ganelon.

First code of chivalry is nothing big in practice, its like you're saying other government officials didn't have something like that until Paladin invented that; funny story, Charlemagne became pope is also part of Extella main story and it does contribute to, 'mix of fiction and reality' I already said.

Finally, still no reason for Nasu to gave it EX as Durindana, the prototype, already established as A-rank.

My goodness you need to actually read up on history because what your saying is making no sense to me at all. Durindane is not the prototype on the page for Durandal and Durindane they have nothing that says one is the prototype of the other therfore your statement is false.

Paladins did not get their mythical aspect after KOTR, that has been an established thing in folklore since before KOTR and there are records predating KOTR.

Other goverment officials didn't have that tho, they had gaurds and people that were regaurded as heroes but Knight/Paladin is different for being chilvilrous, honourable and it was a system which btw allowed people to achieve fame and fortune to become lords and hold titles for any reason other than being popular. The goverments at the time did not have a system like that all they had was either overpaid mercenaries or people who swore to protect them, but these people weren't bound by any laws and thus turned more times than many on their leader. The code of Chivilry was both a way to get soldiers to fight crusades in the middle east but also a way to keep them bound in duty so that they wouldn't turn on their lords as they have it drilled into them as soon as they are recruited much like a modern day marine has it drilled to fight for his country.

Chalemagne became Pope in real life not just in Extalia and because of his feats and campaigns. He is reknowned even today as one of the greatest leaders in history. (There is no mix of Fiction and reality as more so of the legends around those Paladins were real rather than fictional. And in fact more of it was real than KOTR, which btw only one thing was real of, there was a king named Arthur who tried to unite Britan but was betrayed and died).

There is reason for Natsu to give Durandal EX because it has no relation to Durindana at all other than a familiar name. It was a holy sword that performed many feats more so in reality than myth and those feats in reality are compareable to the feats of Excalibur which were myth. (ALSO EXCALIBUR IS EX RANKED IT SAYS SO)
