so then there was the time Lion-o had to face off against literally King Arthur* and Excalibur in a match of who has the bigger dick sword
*actually Mumm-ra, much to the surprise of no one, except apparently Lion-o
This isn't the first time Mumm-ra has tried out-swording the Sword of Omens. The thing is, this time, IT WORKED.
Excalibur defeated the Sword of Omens, but refused to finish Lion-o off, because like the Sword of Omens (and Hachiman's Thunder-Cutter), the sword is blessed/cursed to never do Evil. But, in typical 80s logic, instead of allowing Lion-o to actually be the hero, Merlin himself pops out of thin air just to Professor Oak Mumm-ra with a little "You can't use that here!", then zaps him away and restores Lion-o's HP and says "you won the battle!"
At least Lion-o has the strength afterward to say "No, I didn't win that battle. I never should have fought it in the first place..."
Still, this was an actual episode that happened, and I still kind of can't believe it!
