Grand Cross is the highest class in many orders, and manifested in its insignia.[1] Exceptionally, the highest class may be referred to as Grand Cordon or equivalent. In other cases, there may exist a rank even higher than Grand Cross, e.g. Grand Collar. In rare cases, the insignia itself is referred to as the "grand cross".[2]
In international relations, many times the class of Grand Cross is typically reserved for royalty, heads of state and equivalent. Sometimes a holder of the highest class or grade are referred to as "Commander Grand Cross",[A 1] "Knight Grand Cross", or just "Grand Cross".

In the United Kingdom, the rank of "Knight Grand Cross" or "Dame Grand Cross" allows the recipient to continue to use the honorific "Sir" (male) or "Dame" (female) as a style before his or her name. The knighthood is initially conferred, as in other countries, at the lower rank of the order, typically "Knight Commander".
In Bavaria, the royal military order established by Maximilian Joseph consisted of three classes with the Grand Crosses ranking above the Commanders and Knights.[4] The Grand Cross title has also been used to confer military merit. For instance, the Grand Duchy of Baden awarded Prince Rupprecht a Grand Cross after World War I.[5]
Even though these forms look different, the effective range of the last two versions is similar, which is anything nearby and/or above. A Grand Cross can also occur using the power of a Whip in some games, such as Castlevania Judgment and Castlevania: Grimoire of Souls. In Grimoire of Souls, Maria and Charlotte can use the Grand Cross in the form of a Type B Cross.
The Grand Cross Item Crush was introduced in Castlevania: Rondo of Blood. To cast it, Richter Belmont must be in possession of the Cross sub-weapon, have at least 15 Hearts, and activate its Item Crush attack. A giant crucifix will appear behind him and a series of flashing crosses will rise up from the ground, covering the entire screen and dealing heavy damage to anything they touch.
The "suspended" version was first shown to be used by Julius Belmont in Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow. It differs slightly depending on whether Julius uses it as a boss or a playable character. During the boss battle, Julius slowly rises up in the air, pulling Soma toward him. He then unleashes the Grand Cross for a total of seven consecutive hits. On the other hand, when Julius is controlled by the player in Julius Mode, it is a bit weaker. It no longer pulls enemies toward Julius, its duration is shorter and thus it deals less damage. It returned as a sub-weapon for him in Dawn of Sorrow, although it was watered down a bit, as Julius was no longer invincible when he used the attack. Its vacuum ability still remains, but it is limited to only pulling certain enemy projectiles. He used this weapon to destroy a powerful barrier in Soma's story mode which protected the gates to The Abyss. Through a certain in-game glitch/cheat, Soma can equip Julius's version of the Grand Cross as a Bullet Soul (along with other Julius Mode characters' sub-weapons, like Alucard's Alucard Sword and Julius's Vampire Killer whip). Unlike Julius, Soma can move around while it is active (this is due to it being a glitched soul/weapon) and he doesn't rise up in the air like Julius.
Richter Belmont gained use of this version of the Grand Cross in Portrait of Ruin. It retained the effects of the "pillar" version, making it sort of a combination of both versions of the attack.
Versions of this ability have also appeared in non-canon games. Kokoro Belmont used one in Otomedius Excellent called the "Lightning Sword" as her Platonic Break. This version is a horizontal beam instead of a vertical one for gameplay reasons, as this game is a horizontal-scrolling shooter rather than an action-platformer game.
A bloody version of this attack, called Blood Cross, appears as a Dual Crush in Harmony of Despair whenever one of the Belmont or Belmont-like characters Dual Crushes with Alucard or Soma.
A different variation of Grand Cross appears in Pachislot Akumaj Dracula; Trevor will project forward a large cross made of holy energy. This cross is similar to Leon's Divine Cross (Cross + Blue Orb) from Lament of Innocence, with the difference that Trevor's version will be thrust forward a great distance, in a beam-like fashion, damaging anything in its path.
While in Pachislot Akumaj Dracula II the Grand Cross returns to its "pillar" form, this time his Divine Cross is a variation of the Grand Cross from Pachislot I, where he will project another large cross made of holy energy and thrust it forward.
In Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, Grand Cross is the Final Smash of both Simon and Richter Belmont. When initiated, whatever enemy is hit will be encased in a coffin and thrown up into the air with the whip, before Simon/Richter unleashes a mass of holy light crosses into the air, damaging it.
Grand Cross is a sporty SUV crossover with a modern design; it is intended to be a grand touring crossover, hence the name. The design is based on an older design Lindsey drew up for her personal thesis project during college, named the "Little Fiery One", of which a model is on display in her home; the casting was then modified on instruction of Dmitriy Shakhmatov to allow the design team "to fill a specific category", with Lindsey making some updates to the casting representing "femininity and fire".

The Imperial Society of Knights Bachelor founded in 1908 acts as the Registry for Knights Bachelor. The Knights Bachelor do not constitute a Royal Order: it is an appointment. The appointment of Knight Bachelor (to men only) originates from the medieval period. Recipients have the title Sir but do not have post nominal letters. There is no direct equivalent appointment for women.
The Order of the British Empire was established by King George V in 1917 to honour those who had served in a non-combative role and expanded the Order to reward contributions to the Arts, Sciences, Charitable work and Public Service. The Order comprises five classes across both military and civilian divisions. The Order also includes the British Empire Medal presented to those who have contributed to service in their community.
A pre-eminent contribution in any field of activity (usually, but not exclusively, at national level), or in a capacity which will be recognised by peer groups as inspirational and significant nationally and demonstrates sustained commitment.
A prominent national role of a lesser degree, a conspicuous leading role in regional affairs through achievement or service to the community, or a highly distinguished, innovative contribution in his or her area of activity.
This might take the form of sustained commitment in support of very local charitable and/or voluntary activity; or innovative work that has delivered real impact but that is relatively short (three to four years) in duration.
The Order of the Companions of Honour was founded by King George V in 1917 to recognise outstanding achievements in the Arts, Sciences, Medicine and Public Service. There were originally 18 appointments made in 1917 connected to the War effort, including four women. The Order is now restricted to 65 Members from across the Commonwealth, along with Honorary Members in addition to the 65.
The Royal Victorian Order was founded by Queen Victoria in 1896. All awards bestowed as part of the Order are given at the discretion of the Sovereign and not on the advice of the Prime Minister. Appointments to the Order can be seen in a section of the New Year and Birthday Honours Lists, and are also made on other occasions throughout the year. The Order is used to recognise a wide variety of service to the Sovereign and the Royal Family. The Order is divided into five grades of membership:
The Most Honourable Order of the Bath was established by King George I in 1725 although it is believed to originally date back as far as the eighth century. It is awarded to members of the military or civil service for exemplary service. It is thought that the Order is so named because bathing was seen as a purification ritual. The Order consists of the Sovereign, the Great Master (the post is currently vacant but was previously held by the Prince of Wales) and three Classes of members:
Since 1815 this has been the second level of the Order of the Bath (ranking below Knights Grand Cross and above Companions). Military officers have been appointed to this rank since 1815, civilians from 1847.
The knights companion and ladies companion of the Garter are chosen personally by the Sovereign to honour those who have held public office, who have contributed in a particular way to national life or who have served the Sovereign personally. The Order is limited to 24 ordinary members.
Grand Cross (, Gurando Kurosu?), also known as GrandCros, is a recurring enemy ability in the Final Fantasy series. Used only by the final boss in most of its appearances, it causes a whole host of status effects.
Grand Cross (GrandCros in Anthology) is Neo Exdeath's ultimate attack, causing one negative status to each party member. It is predictable, occurring shortly after a text box appears stating, "The laws of the universe mean nothing!"
Often mistaken for Neo Exdeath shouting this himself, it is actually an in-game description of what is happening that could not be graphically depicted. Reality is twisting to cause the various effects on the party. The original phrasing was more passive as, "The laws of the universe are warping!" The phrase itself became a meme on both sides of the pacific, leading to its return and emphasis in Exdeath's Dissidia appearance. In the PS1 version, this line is translated as "The universe is in peril!". 152ee80cbc
