[edit] Trivia

-"spada" is Italian for sword, most likely referencing the fact that Spada was the Holy Sword Durandal in his past life. His last name also seems to be of Italian origin, with "bel" meaning nice and "forma" meaning shape, or form. This is likely refering to his noble birth and relatively quick and graceful fighting style. It is clear that Spada does unconciously carry himself in a way that reflects his heritage, as Hartman remarks that he stands in the same way his father did when he was Spada's age.
