Fun Fact: The Benkei in FGO isn't the real Benkei, but another retainer who saw the real Benkei fight his famous last stand and run away instead of staying and fight with his lord and Benkei. Driven by guilt he took on the name Benkei and told everyone that will listen the story of Benkei and Ushi, because of that too many people associated him to Benkei as such he was summoned with all the skills and Noble Phantasms the real Benkei would have had. His Final Ascension also implies that the famous fact of Benkei dying standing up came from his stories as he exaggerated them in his desire for the real Benkei's memory will live on. Ushi knows that it isn't the real Benkei but plays along because she hopes that it will help ease his guilt.
CMIIW ushi knows he's actually Hitachibou pretending to be Benkei, and she's not shy on calling him out, which he denies it and pretend to not hear anything
Fun fact: in summer this year we'll be getting the English localization of an otome game called Birushana: Rising Flower of Genpei in which you play as a female Minamoto no Yoshitsune (Ushiwakamaru) and you can romance members of both the Minamoto and Taira clans, including Benkei and your onii-chan Yoritomo. Incest is wincest.
As a Japanese person who grew up with the legends about ushiwakamaru and benkei, as well as learning some of the history in school, I'm so glad you decided to cover her in a vid!
Hey, Mr James Ryan People who claim to be Japanese on RU-vid have never really been Japanese. I'm Japanese, but I can easily see that you're not Japanese. No Japanese abbreviates "video" as "vid" I see that you grew up in an English-speaking country.
@@novrinkov0053 or if you need the response in english too because you're either lying, or you're stupid, growing up elsewhere doesn't change your culture or ethnicity. Don't make stupid assumptions because someone speaks better English than you.
Yeah !! Love our loyal adoreable tengu puppy ! Ushi deserves all the headpats and adoration ! Her interactions with fujimaru in the Babylonia anime were soo sweet they almost gave my diabetes !
Nice, my Ushi has been grailed to 100 for about over a year now. And as soon as the new coins system comes out i will also be pulling as much copies of her as i need for both lvl 120 and append skills.
If you play on NA you can start saving extra copies of Ushi right now, np5 them and stash into second archive. When system came out you will have decent amount of extra coins.
Absolutely based. Always great to see a fellow Ushi appreciator. She was my second level 100 grail, after Space Ishtar (I'm new, and Ushi is amazing but Rin will always be best in my heart.)
I'm sad to say that I didn't realize Ushiwakamaru's greatness untill meeting her in Babylonia. I missed the onigashima event because I started late and was only in Camelot when the rerun happened. At first she didn't look to impressive but man did she show me just how good she is. She has since been my go to Rider for boss killing. She is currently Grailed to 90 and I could see myself going to the full 100 on her. Loved the video can't wait for more.
Glad to see my tengu girl getting so much love. Ushi is my favourite rider servant in fgo and being able to own both her vanilla and summer version makes me happy (although it would be better if i had a higher np lvl on her summer outfit) much love to ushi thank you for making this video appreciating our one and only. lot of headpats
Bro, ushi can do no wrong in my eyes! Her and Nero got me into FGO during 2018 and I loved her lore! She a s also the servant that beat goetia for me and my first bond 10!
Hell yeah! Time for my 2nd favorite rider Ushiwakamaru! I'm so excited for her animation update, her new buff AND her Avenger alt! Ushi is my personal favorite quick dps rider
Same lol, just that mine is Ozymandias, i love ushi as well but will have the spot as the 2nd fav rider and one of the top waifus, Have her grailed to 90
My favorite historical Ushiwaka anecdote: When he was at Kurama, he was promised soldiers for his army if he wanted to march to war against the Taira. Years later, when he'd left the temple, he goes to this guy to collect the soldiers he'd been promised. By now, this guy's sons have both gotten good jobs in Kyoto working for the Taira, so he tries to talk Ushiwaka out of war. Ushiwaka said nothing, and left... then came back that night and burned the house down.
hahahaha the simping was glorious. waiting for her au in NA. hope it comes early. they really went over the top with her animations. i love it. since your story ranking stuff has ended. how about you rank all the saberfaces? XDD
I started during the tail end of rashomon into the first onigashima, so you bet I had copies to spare for her when I first started. She grew on me so fast, I brought her just about whenever I could, and she was one of my first bond 10's. Absolutely one of my favorite waifus, and I agree that she is perfect in every way Edit: She is also max skills and lvl 100, I just need to finish her summer version. Also very hyped to simp for kagekiyo!
I would love to see if we can get a behind the servant for Phantom of the Opera because how does an opera become a servant? and more videos on the 1-2 star servants because they could always use more love.
For the short version, he's not the opera, but the phantom, inspired by the novel Phantom of the Opera, where a man living within the Opera would fall in love with a Diva and commit murders for her sake. He can be summoned as a servant due to the (real) rumors that the book was inspired from real facts
