Who comes to mind first?

Absorbing or copying the weapon doesn't count.

The character must defeat and take the antagonist's weapon, using it regularly outside of plot reasons in exchange for their old weapon.

Does Sasuke count? Itachi was his "main antagonist," and he eventually took his eyes.

Main antagonist is a tough sell. Closest thing I can think of is Black Star from Soul Eater getting a new form for his weapon. But due to how the mechanics of weapons work in that series, I feel like its essentially taking the weapon. But not main antagonist or even close to it, really.

Its also not his only weapon, but it becomes his finisher.

Those conditions sound oddly specific. I'm guessing TC has a character in mind.

I was gonna say Raziel from the Legacy of Kain series (in Soul Reaver 1, Kain is considered to be the main antagonist), but I guess technically Raziel absorbs the wraithblade.

Honestly, the closest thing I can think of is slayers, which the black magic that Lina and other sorcerers use directly calls upon the power of the demons they often fight, and that's not really what you're asking for either.

Based on what I'm googling, Mega Man's software copies the ability, so it doesn't count per OP.

I'm not super familiar with Mega Man, but doesn't he copy the Robot Masters' abilities? Those are just bosses and not the main villain. So even if it was taking them and not copying it still wouldn't count.

*spoilers for just SR1, not the rest of the LoK series*
After Raziel and Kain fought for a bit, Kain struck Raziel with the Soul Reaver to the point where the Reaver was physically destroyed. The devastating force sent Raziel into the spectral realm, where Raziel saw the wraithblade (the spiritual essence that was within the Soul Reaver) and grabbed it, which resulted in it merging with him.

It doesn't technically count under the criteria for multiple reasons, but wielding the energy sword as Master Chief in Halo 2 had the vibe of this

And probably any WW2 game where the hero uses a mp40 or luger. I know some media makes a point to have allies using a luger/mp40 as a character trait. Think Brad Pitt in Fury uses German weapons

Does Siegfried from Soul Blade count? I mean, he takes Soul Edge from Cervantes/Inferno at the end of the game and he ends up becoming Nightmare.

Though it's not permanent as him and Nightmare become 2 separate entities after the events of Soul Calibur 2, with Soul Edge staying with Nightmare.

so I'm leaning towards yes >_>

I wish those games would get a remaster

I thought about Luke using Anakin's lightsaber, but the prompt said the character has to take it from the antagonist.
Plus he didn't use it permanently iirc.

Soul Calibur series for some endings, Fable 1 if you choose that ending

A short manga called Fire Fire Fire has the mc and villain exchange weapons at the end, by incidence rather than intent.

Really feels like I should know more examples of this. There's always some former legendary hero who beat the ancient evil and sealed it away, and then maybe used that sealed thing as a weapon?

Feels like a thing that would happen in Adventure Time, but Finn keeps burnin' through swords.

Oh, the OG Green Ranger does this, although it's long term, not permanent, until actually it is permanent 27+ seasons later.

Closest thing.

also BOTW/Zelda TOTK. You technically can use "a" main antagonists' weapon permanently (Majora's Mask and Ganondorf's blade from OoT)

I was gonna' say that there is actually a decent list of gundams that gets swiped in the gundam franchise, but I am brain-farting at the moment on gundams that was surely meant for the main antagonist that got yoinked. In iron blooded orphans the protagonist's side usually got their gundams off some dead dude from the antagonist side, but they were more like elite mooks compared to the main bad dude.

This reminds me of Zoids: New Century, where Brad gets Shadow Fox essentially by stealing it from the bad guys, though not permanently defeating them until much later.
