You have to love his use of wordplay. It’s worthy of an assassins elusive nature. He basically tells him “that’s bullshit because of this loophole” and the guys all “then your harmless” and he’s like like “ask the loophole...” *VICIOUSLY STABS HIM*
You did three things wrong: 1.) You insulted his master, 2.) You threatened his master, and 3.) You knocked his master unconscious. I think it wants to die inviting death like that.

@@sheogallvoidgazer2423 king Hassan:(Gramps mode) back in the old days of assassination you didn't need a surgery or modifications. All we used was a sword and death. Hassans:(confused and ashamed)
"We are the five greatest warriors." Hassan: "I care nothing for the four greatest warriors." *They do a quick headcount* "You three cannot stop me." "How..." "To fight with just two..." "Ohshit." "...You get to live." "Really?" "...SOMEONE HAS TO TELL THE STORY!"
Servant: Grand Assassin True Name: Old Man of the Mountain. Hassan-I-sabbah, King Hassan, Great Founder, Gramps. Noble Phantasm - Anti-Unit/Anti-Army: Rank EX Zabaniya: To Gaze Upon Death From the nameless Noble Phantasm of Astolfo, to the all-seeing technique of Gilgamesh, oft times a Servant will appear whose Noble Phantasm is completely unusable to the Summoner, whether by circumstance or practicality. Such is the case of Hassan-I-Sabbah's most powerful Noble Phantasm, Zabaniya. A phantom of death, his targets and Summoner only ever experienced his Noble Phantasm Azrael, the flawless technique used to sever the heads of heretics. However, when the Summoner is incapable of sensing Assassin, when no allied are present, and when the enemy is before him, he will use his most deadly Noble Phantasm, Zabaniya: To Gaze Upon Death. Upon activation, any-and-all individuals who "look" upon his Zabaniya will instantly experience Death, and die. To those existences that cannot die, it instills the concept of Death onto them, and makes them capable of dying. A Noble Phantasm, a Zabaniya, to put all other Assassins to shame, such is the might of the King of Assassins. "To look at him was to ensure your death. To gaze upon the Old Man of the Mountain was to die. Today. Tomorrow. A century, it did not matter, you were already dead."
Notice how it’s not his technique as an assassin. It’s not his technique as king of the assassins. It’s not even his technique as a grand assassin. He is simply “the” assassin and this is “his” technique.
As the villainous knight heard King Hassan announce his Noble Phantasm, he thought back on the Servant's words and a moment of horrific clarity crept into his mind as he realized his fatal mistake. "She's unconscious..." And then he knew no more.
Villain: Ha your master is knocked out King Hassan: wait really, sweet now i get to murder you even harder now Villain: wait wha- King Hassan: GIVE ME YOUR HEAD
The thing is, in his lore, King Hassan was never seen by anyone, even the old men of the mountain from generations that came after him thought of him as a legend, but also in his lore it is stated that he was the one to kill the hassans if they ever stray from the right path, he was the reaper that reaped the reapers, in other words whoever met him is fated to die in that moment no matter who they are, so we can say that he would actually have a NP that is based on this part of his lore, a NP that is capable of killing whoever that witness it
Zabaniya is the word arabic. It's mean Zabaniyah (Arabic: الزبانية; Az-Zabâniyyah) is the name of angels who try to torture people in Islamic religious dialogue. He describes with a figure that is very fierce and sadistic, do not know forgiveness for people who have entered the belly of hell.
Well we know that all Hassan’s can use a Zabaniya. KH is not even fighting at full power, we all have seen him knock aside Sun Gawain’s Excalibur Galatine. Maybe he could use all the Zabaniyas as well
@@deucesommerfeld1248 I also originally thought that KH could all other forms of zabaniya (much like the zealot from f/sf) but I realized it wouldn't really make sense since as far as we know he considers most (if not all) of his successors zabaniya techniques to be herasy to his own teaching
tfbrave yea considering the fact that their zabaniyas represent the sacrifices they made to become Hassan’s where as king Hassan didn’t need to make a sacrifice
My interpretation of Gramp's possible Zabanyia is this: Most of the Assassin's that took the mantle of Hassan-i-Sabbah had to modify themselves greatly for that role. Many went down extreme lengths for it such as Cursed arm who grafted the arm of Shaitan on himself. However, the great founder became infamous not due to any special powers but simply due to immense skills he had honed as an Assassin. His Zabanyia acts as a manifestation of those skills. His presence concealment becomes far more effective rendering him completely invisible to the enemy, no matter who they are while is strength, speed and everything else increase. His execution appears as though the target has suddenly died out of no reason It appears as though his target was fated to die on that very moment. Such was the skill of the great founder.
i mean it makes sense espesially considering there is one hassan who has a precence concealment of ex, which basiaclly turns them into a ghost that cant even be touched. It would make sense King can do it as well.
@@luckysage4240 If I remember correctly, though I could be wrong there too, he actually doesn't like any of his successors, as all of them are failures as a Hassan in his eyes, including the one with the EX rank concealment. Something along the lines of (my own opinion, not his) "What good is a blade out of sight, if it cannot strike with the force it needs to kill?" if I were to take a guess.
@@SeathThePawnit's more complicated than that, we actually get some nice insights into the relationship in the recent strange fake stuff. I don't think dislike is the right way to put it, tho exactly how to is difficult to think up on the spot. But tldr king hassan kills the hassans so that they may finally be at peace, because a true hassan will only ever know it in death that's the price they pay. they only rest they will ever be able to have is when their final one come for them.
@@glich6035 Ehh kinda. He's at least lenient towards Cursed Arm, "killing" him by killing the demon in that arm (so at that point he would no longer need, or be able to stay, in that position), but for a lot of them in my-room lines, he'd just rather they offer up their necks. (along with the comedy when he actually starts doing that one by one with his NeroFest 2017 Challenge Quest where he's accompanied by 100 hassans only for him to start killing them during his turn xD)
Know that my name is that of Death, and tremble before me. Oh you celestial. Oh you infernal. Oh you immortal. Know my name as Void, and return there upon the drawing of your breath.
“Zabaniya” in Fate is the Hassan art of self-modification. It’s how Serenity’s body is poisoned and how Cursed Arm has his... name. Hundred Faces’ Zabaniya just lets them manifest all of their personalities as different forms. First Hassan likely doesn’t _have_ a Zabaniya, as he is already the perfect killer.
Zabaniya is a technique that is unqiue to each Hassan. No-Name for example used Ichor of Reverie which creates a sound and Unfeeling Patrolling Spirits summoned monsters.
the thing is King Hassan *should* have a Zabaniya because otherwise, there would either need to be a 20th Hassan, or a Hassan with two Zabaniyas because otherwise the reference they were going for won't work at all (Within the Quran/Islamic texts there are 19 Zabaniya, who are the angels that punish those who went down to hell)
Didn't king hassan remove his own internal organs to become a better assassin, to the point that his "immense willpower" was the only reason he was alive, otherwise being like an undead. If so his body modification is that he is literally undead, having none of the weaknesses of a living person such as feeling pain, needing to breathe, etc. This would make him a godlike assassin since he could wait anywhere for any length of time.
considering that he just lost his sword in the comic. I bet his Zabaniya is just ripping the head straight off with his bare hands, Mortal Kombat style.
My theory is that King Hassan's Zabaniya causes anyone who witnesses it to die of fright. I base this theory on how his Presence Concealment stops working the moment he chooses his target, and how the target is always aware of his intent, even if they have no actual knowledge of his presence otherwise; they simply know that death is coming for them. This mastery of dreadful suspense and the unnerving precision with which it can be wielded is the true essence of assassination; the terror of unavoidable and unknowable death. On paper, it sounds broken as fuck, and it is, but it has three clear drawbacks. The first is that it is based on the concept of killing without leaving any witnesses, so anyone who sees it in use is dragged into it, including allies. The second is that it cannot be used on a target who is unaware of it, so anything lacking the cognitive ability to recognize the impending attack or to feel fear from it is exempt from its effect; a sufficient rank of Madness Enhancement would completely override it. And the third weakness is that if it is somehow circumvented, namely a target somehow manages to survive or reveal the nature of the attack, then it loses its power as an infallible and unexplainable Mystery, rendering it mundane. This is why Gramps always uses Azrael and never his Zabaniya; he can't use it unless it's guaranteed to work.
Well, we know that gramps can kill anything as he "added" the concept of death to beast 1 (Tiamat) so technically I think that would be his second NP, to give something immortal their end, his very own Zabaniya would be his third NP in this escenario, that could also mean that he can't use it in front of gudao as giving death to something mortal would mean killing it, lets also remember that he is the one who survived the great flood, so he would have witnessed the end of all things (this wouldnt be farfetched as Orion, another Grand servant also has 3 NP), I think the closest thing we can know as a reveal of this would be in Camelot when he decapited Ozymandias in a second even when all of the pyramid is Ozymandias NP or when he battled Noobkiller (Gawain) in a sandstorm, his Zabaniya would be to have the world hide him, not Magic or sorcery, but his status as a human of the world pre-flood to be sensed as "dead" to all things (this would also explain how he can go and come from the underworld and be in the streets of babylonia for half a week without notice)
@@poisonsumac4565 You're a tad mistaken. Gramps is not from pre-flood times, because he is not actually Zius-dra; that is merely the persona he chose to adopt while in Babylonia. His True Name is Hassan-i-sabbah, a missionary who lived in 11th century Iran and founded the Hashashin order, which is where we get the modern term of 'assassin', hence why he is a candidate for the title of Grand Assassin. His nature as a Grand Servant and an embodiment of Death is what permits him to come to and from the underworld as he pleases, especially in a time period where the underworld was a physical place you could travel to, rather a separate plane of existence. As for his Noble Phantasms? Azrael is, up to this point, the only Noble Phantasm of his we're aware of, and it is only presumed that he possesses another Noble Phantasm in the form of his Zabaniya, as each Hassan was said to possess one unique to them; an unnamed candidate for the title of Hassan who was capable of copying the Zabaniya of all of the previous Hassans was passed over in favor of the individual who would later become Hassan of the Hundred Faces.
The best way for this to be true is if he IS his Zabaniya, and his armor seals it’s power away. His true form is death personified, and only the dead may witness him
@@Digidestined701 There's an implication that Gramps's disguise as Zius-dra is actually what he really looks like under his armor, and if that is true it kind of blows your theory out of the water because it would mean he can freely take his armor off.
@@Brutalyte616 Didn't he only use that disguise in the underworld though? In a place where death is everywhere, death personified might have a lesser effect. Also, how he really looks and what's under his armor might be 2 different things. That might have been what he looked like when he was alive, but as a servant he might have a different appearance under the armor. It could have been him taking the form of what he looked like when he was alive, using some aspect of presence concealment that hasn't been revealed (For example, concealing one's appearance through disguises. I get that that would be part of a different skill, but roll with it) I'm not saying that it's for sure how his Zabaniya works, just that this would be a cool way for it to work.
Zabaniyah (Arabic: الزبانية; Az-Zabâniyyah) is the name of angels who try to torture people in Islamic religious dialogue. He describes with a figure that is very fierce and sadistic, do not know forgiveness for people who have entered the belly of hell.
As a muslim who studies in islamic school, all of the angels of hells are always depicted of being very brutal while torture people in hells (btw i use the word hells because there is more than one hell in islam)
King Hassan's Zabaniya: If you see it you're fucked... no, you're BEYOND fucked. *later* Gudako: So what happened to the villain? King Hassan: ...I took their head? Gudako: Sounds about right, thanks Gramps!
This is just a Fancomic, but a very plausible one: - There are as many Zabaniyas as Hassan's. So either one Hassan has two Zabaniyas, or he has one as well. - Azrael is ranked C, but his NP parameter is A, higher than Azrael (NP parameters can be lower than the actual Noble Phantasm, but not higher), so he has yet another Noble Phantasm to show.
Not to mention that in Fate/Strange Fake, Hassan the Zealot is able to use all 18 Zabaniya that came before her (the only exception being Hundred Faces' Zabaniya as they both come from the same generation). Meaning that somewhere in her arsenal is Gramp's Zabaniya. There is one Zabaniya in her arsenal that is disputed to 'have no record of existance', Zabaniya: Meditative Sensitivity. It's basically like Assassin's Creed Eagle Vision or The Witcher Sense. There are only legends of it existing and her Noble Phantasm simply recreated that legend. It would make sense that it was Gramp's Zabaniya seeing as it was rarely used, it would probably be something similar to Mystic Eyes of Death Perception. Or the Zabaniya could have been misinterpreted by Zealot, who knows.
@@NHDOreBros Meditative Sensitivity could be the one from True Assassin. That one seems able to kill without even revealing his presence, so it would be suitable for him. But the numbers still fit.
@@saxor96 never thought of that before, yeah the ability would suit someone like True Assassin. Do we have confirmation on what his title is, I've just been calling him 'Floating Skull'.
I'd say Anti-Existence not Anti-Creation, because he was so great the embodiment/angel of death bows to him, and one can exist outside of creation, but there is no creation outside of existence.
Well, we know that gramps can kill anything as he "added" the concept of death to beast 1 (Tiamat) so technically I think that would be his second NP, to give something immortal their end, his very own Zabaniya would be his third NP in this escenario, that could also mean that he can't use it in front of gudao as giving death to something mortal would mean killing it, lets also remember that he is the one who survived the great flood, so he would have witnessed the end of all things (this wouldnt be farfetched as Orion, another Grand servant also has 3 NP), I think the closest thing we can know as a reveal of this would be in Camelot when he decapited Ozymandias in a second even when all of the pyramid is Ozymandias NP or when he battled Noobkiller (Gawain) in a sandstorm, his Zabaniya would be to have the world hide him, not Magic or sorcery, but his status as a human of the world pre-flood to be sensed as "dead" to all things (this would also explain how he can go and come from the underworld and be in the streets of babylonia for half a week without notice)
I think you are reading too much into things. Azrael was used to sever Tiamat's wings and impart the concept of death, not some other noble phantasm. KH can come and go freely from the underworld because he has a connection with death, not to mention that being a servant means you are dead. And King Hassan was able to roam the streets of Uruk unnoticed by Gilgamesh or anyone else was because of one skill that every assassin has, Presence Concealment. With KH, as long as you aren't his target, he can hide himself from you no problem. However I do think KH having a Zabaniya related to him using the moniker Ziusudra would be interesting. Seeing as Zealot from strange fake can use all the Zabaniya which came before her, which totals to 18 (the only one not included is Hundred Personas), we can safely assume that he has a Zabaniya.
By knocking Gudako unconscious, this villain sealed his fate; now King Bone Gramps can unleash his true Noble Phantasm with no regrets. Does someone like King Hassan actually feel regret? I figured after taking so many lives, he is immune to such human banalities.
We see him show regret in Camolot as he regreted that Cursed Arm needed to call upon him. This regret comes from the fact he had to kill Cursed Arm because he was to weak instead of because he feel from the true path of the Hassan
I imagine he doesn't feel regret from taking lives anymore. As stated, he is the personification of Death in Fate universe. All living beings are merely souls waiting to be reaped for him. He does not feel joy from it, either, for he knows there are no joy nor glory to be found in killing. However, there's a fancomic by Clinik depicting a certain male Master and King Hassan right after they completed a Lostbelt (I forgot whether it was the first, second or third). This Master was overwrought by shock and grief upon knowing that he just killed actual lives, as the concept of "Lostbelts" are different from "Singularities". In Singularities any living beings there are just simulated lives, but in Lostbelts they are actual real people, human or otherwise, born to life by the timeline-altering power of Fantasy Tree. As such, he felt like he had just committed a grave sin even though he knew he had to do it because otherwise all his efforts in saving Panhuman History would've been for naught. He asked King Hassan, "Does it ever get any easier?", referring to taking lives, looking down at his bloodied hands. The Grand Assassin, he who masters in the art of killing, went silent for a while, and then answered: "Pray it never does." So I assume that even though he doesn't feel anything from taking souls from living beings anymore, he wouldn't want to see his young Master, barely an adult, to ever be like him.
@@felipecosta-kv2fx it's because (canonically) Ritsuka doesn't treat them like they were tools, as most Mages do. He respects them for their abilities instead of their legends, and regards them as equals.
King Hassan looking at his contractor as she mumbles "gramps..." he gives his speech we just heard only add some Bleach Music like he's about to unleash his true Bankai as he says "Zabaniya" lol
Enemy: so you carn’t use your noble phantasm while sh-.....shes unconsciousness King Hassan: yep Enemy: ......*gulps* am i dead King Hassan: you got a 5 second head start Enemy: t- *head rolls for 5 seconds* King Hassan: your 5 seconds are over *body drops to the floor*
This is quite interesting. It would make sense for the first/last Hassan to have his own Zabaniya. I believe, as the founder, he would be able to use ALL of the Hassans' Zabaniyas in addition to Asrael
from what i can see and know the blades name is azreal meaning the angel of destruction some of us now it as seraphs who are also the gods trusted angel along side mikal jibril israfil and if we look into the fate lore in general then. The angels i referred are all weapons and hassan is the first old man of the mountain the legend referred him as a old man living in a paradise which i think is heaven and we all know that he is the angel of death but there are things i need to clarify the assassins under him wants to live their. So they begged him thus promising they will do anything if it means to return to this place which im guessing humans founded a gateway to heaven and they're working under him and he kills theme if they disobey or tell someone about him and the sanction. now about his NP. damn thars op but how is he not higher then Gil my guess is that his NP unlike cursed arms which he can pull the heart Hassan can pull out his soul thus making sense cuz of his agility and speed but what i dont get is his eyes so my theory got destroyed. so the only theory i have left is that its not like the gaze automatically kills the ally he is following the rule. no one can see deaths true face death can come in as plague and other normal things thus making the first assassin He kills everyone who sees theme cuz revealing the deaths true face will be act of breaking the gods rule and the garden that was mentioned in the tales of adam and eve would be referring to the garden that assassins want to go adam and eve stayed their for 40 days and Hassan was their im guessing his duty is to watch over adam and eve which are now the humans in fate lore i guess you could say Hassan is the overworking not retired yet worker while the gods was 'im pooped im not meddling anymore pls kill me' and they became servants some became legends over all Gil was the one who stopped theme from meddling saying 'can you guys just piss off and stay put you old hags' thus making hassan one of the few who stayed cuz of rules that chained theme like for example the gods and goddesses of the underworld and Hassan is the one who sending theme to the underworld. the guy who is 3 comments below made much more sense then i did
Class: Grand assassin True name: Old Man of the Mountain NP: Zabaniya, The Horseman of Death Type: Anti_life the idea is that in St. John's apocalypse one of the four horseman of it was death itself, apocalypse is last book of bible as it is end of the world when everything that is living will die and will be judged by Yahweh
Its just a theory, and I don't really know how it works in Islam, but what if he unveils God's Presence ("For no one can see me and live" Exodus 33:20) which is like David's Ark of the Covenant but stronger and based on vision instead of touch?
Bruh... It's Azrael... All the other Hassans (hundred personas, serenity, and cursed arm) use Zabniya. but the first Hassan the old man of the mountain, or otherwise King Hassan's noble phantasm is Azrael the angle of death.
Why King Hassan has Zabaniya as his true NP though? Aren't it him who despise his successor for using Zabaniya in order to gain more power? Like his dialogue when you have the other Hassan for example, even he wants to decapitate them because of it
the main reason why that King Hassan should theoretically have a Zabaniya is that, othwerwise there would have to be a Hassan that had two Zabaniyas, since there are 19 Hassans to go with the 19 Zabaniyas that exist within the Quran/Islamic texts
@@gypsysprite4824 really? I never heard of it, but then why if you had Serenity, Hundred face, or Cursed arm, Hassan Will criticize them and ask them to give up their head It's kind of like he's disappointed that the other Hassan contract the Zabaniya in exchange of power, and also he think that contract with Zabaniya is futile And also do you have further information about the Zabaniya(s)? I'd like to read the lore
@@andromedaputraharyanto5420 1: I never said he had to, i just said that he would have to if the reference was to work. 2: pretty much all i know about the Zabaniyya are that a: there's 19 of them and b: they are angels that torture the damned. frankly all of that was from a quick Wikipedia search and about a couple dozen comments 3: also remember that the Heroic spirits the grail summons/from the Throne of Heroes don't exactly get the greatest amount of control over what powers they get/have as heroic spirits, so it's completely plausible that Gramps got a Zabaniya from the grail/Throne of Heroes without having it in life due to how the grail seems to deal with the Hassans in general.
@@andromedaputraharyanto5420 As far as I'm aware, it's not that the Zabaniya itself is a power the Hassans contract. It's a type of signature technique unique to each Hassan, but how they get it varies wildly. It's not necessarily that you need to modify your body to acquire a Zabaniya, it's simply the easiest way to. So theoretically, Old Man could have a Zabaniya, it's just that it probably doesn't manifest as any type of self-modification like Serenity, Hundred Faces or Cursed Arm's.
Well since his Noble Phantasm parameter is A, but Azrael is only C rank. So obviously he at least have another Noble Phantasm of at least A rank we don't know of. So the missing Noble Phantasm could be anything, and coincidentally King Hassan is missing a Zabaniya.
I know it probly doesn't matter...but who/what the hell is that Hassan is fighting? It looks like something out of final fantasy but it's holding rhongonmyniad yet its clearly not the Lion King.
the idea is that King hassan possesses two noble phantams. one being Azreal which he uses with his sword which here he couldn't with his sword away from him. and the other being his own personal zabaniya a technique only he alone knows as an assassin and would only ever use if that secret will remain and will the master knocked out in this scenario he was freed from that restriction.
She copied all Zabaniyas except for 100 faces but her copies are not perfect. Some are better(third arm for cursed arm) some are worse (unlike Serenity she can't have wind cary her poison to kill people from range) so it is not hard to imagine that she only have mere shadow of what old man could do.
Hell, Gramps went toe to toe with Gawain. Under the SUN. And STILL MOCK HIM. An Indestructible servant under the sun. And shivers under Gramps. That was epic
I think Azrael is just a normal np for gramps Because he say he didn't want to show his craft which mean his real true np he only use once because of the person and now he use it As a true np
Nightgame H KH has an A rank for NP in his stats but Azrael is a C ranked one. So in all likelihood, he probably has an A ranked NP that he won’t use, as it is his true craft.
NGL but I never understand the fate stuff, kinda need someone to explain me the gist So these people, summon these old historical hero's and warriors, knights or some figure that's well known. And they are fighting demons? Beast? Eachother? What???
It depends on which Fate you’re watching. In most of the settings, they fight each other to have a wish granted by the Holy Grail. In Grand Order, where this comic is set, they fight to protect mankind from various threats.
it depends on the series since each work has different circumstances. however most of the time you are fighting other servants, sometimes you fight beasts like the demonic beasts born from tiamat in babylonia, sometimes you fight other masters like in a holy grail war or the crypters from the lostbelt era of fate grand order, etc.
Yesn't?? In most Fate series, the mages fight each other in order to obtain possession of an omnipotent wish granting device But in FGO, the MC faces people who wants to end all of mankind
