Here's another quiz with some friends. Can they guess which classes these servants belong to? Follow me here: / babylonnight AllieLatte: / allielatte Evil Eye: / @greatevileye
Which actually makes so much sense, as voyager is basically the youngest true heroic spirit we know of, and also traveling between planets is The Little Prince's whole deal.
I mean, the Sword Type is traditionally spelled “Sabre” not “Saber”, but as far as I’m aware, no saber servant uses a Sabre because the original context of that sword type is Germanic
25:00 in all fairness, without knowing his personality and story, and even with in some cases, Izo is very easy to mistake for an Avenger. 36:15 funny he should say… 2:10:55 because Boxing Day! All the puns!
34:15 Technically if you count the one that is (part of) a giant "elephant" there are three with giant elephants: Ivan, the Trung Sisters, and Darius III.
I think your explanation for how the Ruler class works could use a bit of a change. The Ruler class is not made up of actual leaders, but by figures who are selfless, devoting their entire being to other people. Most notably as either Prophets, Priests, or Emperors who do everything for their people. You do not need to be an actual leader in order to be considered a Ruler, you just need to be devoted wholeheartedly to a selfless cause. That is why QSH is a Ruler, he gives everything in order to continue the prosperity of China. That's why Jeanne is a ruler, she gave everything for her countrymen. That's why Amakusa Shirou Tokisada is a ruler, he gave everything for the Shimabara rebellion. A leader who does not selflessly give everything to their cause cannot be a Ruler. Artoria was Selfish, that is why she isn't a ruler (Outside if a gag) despite being King Arthur. To be a ruler, you must be Selfless, or a Summer Costume.
I do explain throughout that it's not about being a leader. I tried to make my initial diagram as easy to understand as possible, but maybe it needed more.
With regards to the Space Ishtar lore that nobody asked for, 'Kylo Rin', as you termed her, is technically three characters in one unit. The Ascension you showed is the actual Space Ishtar, the good half of an ancient deity embodying the entire galaxy that preceded the modern Servantverse. She's the absolute overlord of an evil empire because she was abducted by the previous overlord and tries to follow in his footsteps, but she's kind of bad at being evil. The other two characters included in the 'Space Ishtar' unit are Spishtar (the evil half of said ancient galactic deity who was raised by a kind & loving father who deeply believed that the core of a person's nature was determined more by their upbringing than any 'inherent nature', and thus became a good-hearted if mischevious bounty hunter. Space Ishtar is a kind of counterexample to this point, but presumably an evil overlord doesn't make for a terribly good parent or inspiring figure) and Ishtar Ashtart (the combined whole of Space Ishtar, & the overall reincarnation of said ancient precursor goddess, albeit less powerful since the galaxy she once embodied no longer exists). Space Ishtar/Kylo Rin is an Avenger because she inherited the grudge of her former galactic goddess, who was shunned, abandoned, & annihilated by the inhabitants of the current Servantverse at the end of her life cycle, & loathes everything & everyone in it because of that ancient betrayal.
I wanted to keep it easy enough for non Fate fans to understand. Which is why I excluded some classes, didn't include any pseudo servants or explain stuff like class qualifications.
A lot of Servants have multiple Noble Phantasms, and depending on their class, they may or may not be locked from some of them. The easiest example is Arthoria, as a Saber, she has Excalibur, while she has Rhongomyniad as Lancer. In FGO, its purely a gameplay limitation that each servant has one. In fact, some servants have their NPs act as their skills in game. For example, Astolfo has the Trap of Argalia (Argalia is his lance) listed as his second skill in game. Also in regards to Vlad, the gentleman looking Vlad was also a Lancer in Apocrypha. The reason why the lancer Vlad looks the way he does in FGO is because that was his design in Fate/Extra which came first. His personality in Extra was also very different which they tried to explain away in the Saber Eli Halloween event. And Oberon is the lie. He is Vortigern pretending to be Oberon.
