the reason why Saber's usually have the Riding ability is because some of the sabers were knights before being a servant, and usually knights are known to be skilled in cavalry.
The riding skill basically comes with the Saber class, along with magic resistance. Although prior experience determines how powerful those skills are.
In Fate, the Assassin Jack the Ripper may be the actual Jack the Ripper, while the Berserker version is definitely not. The Berserker version is the embodiment of Jack's legend and the fear he caused, but not an actual person. The Assassin version is an actual collection of ghosts and spirits that formed a curse/grudge that went about murdering women in Fate's version of London, and (at least within Fate) may have been the actual Jack the Ripper. But no one knows, not even Jack (her memory's always vague on specifics). I think this makes Assassin a bit more interesting, as it means Fate's Jack may not have been a human, but instead was a magical phenomenon created naturally by the environment.
I think both Assassin and Berserker can coexist (in a sense, with major caveats on Berserker's part) as true Jack the Rippers. You've explained Assassin's side well enough as Jack the "Mutilator", but Berserker can have equal claim (at least, his alive self and not the Kojirou-esque ghost liner) as Jack the "Author". Remember, Jack didn't just murder people, he wrote letters. Berserker in-life could've been the troll who took advantage of the murders to write some ominous letters and perpetuate the mystery further. The Throne of Heroes then recorded the idea of Jack the "Author" as a servant much like it did with Kojirou or other wraith-servants. I think the greatest evidence in-text are the names of his Noble Phantasms, which do indeed take inspiration from the real Jack's letters.
To be exact, assassin jack the ripper also calls herself maria is the amalgamation of all the unborn children that are thrown in the river thames. That gives Jack a reason as to why she k!lls and mutilates those prostitutes.
Also, a bonus fact about the Vlads in Fate series. Lancer of Black Vlad is the representation of the "Hero that protected Wallachia from the Ottoman Empire". Fate/Extra Vlad is the representation of the "Religious zealous monster due to his devotion for God". That's why Lancer of Black Vlad have a skill called "Demonic Defender of the State" due to his feats in defending Wallachia while Fate/Extra Vlad have the skill "Protection of the Faith" due to him being very religious.
Drake's genderswap was explained, so basicly francis drake and england's queen used to swap places with each other badabing badaboom we got genderswap Francis Drake.
It's explained, but not expanded upon. Drake is always in the pirate mode and she doesn't interact with characters that would know the real Elizabeth (like Shakespeare) either. This plot point could resurface in the Extra remake, but even then TM had 8 years to do anything with it in F/GO.
Fun fact the skin tight body suits the Celtic servants are waring would normally be body paint. yes, the fight naked. Emeya Alter is that dark due to the same reason the normal servant is version darker which is mana overuse the alter version really overused it to the point his body is breaking down.
there's actually historical precedent for Buddha being a Final Boss. in the Journey to the West, after Sun Wukong rampages across all of reality and defeats the combined armies of heaven and hell, and they're all out of options after he took on literally all the most powerful gods and demons at once, they use their last resort. They call upon The Buddha Himself, who tricks sun wukong with possibly the coolest bet of all time. Basically, the Buddha says, "Hey, Sun Wukong, let's play a game: If you can jump out of the palm of my hand, you can keep kicking everyone's asses, but if you can't, I'm going to imprison you under a mountain until someone comes along who can teach you some manners." And Sun Wukong, who has never backed down from any challenge ever, says, "bring it on", balances on the Buddha's open palm, and jumps off so far that he lands at the literal edge of the universe, where he finds the five pillars that hold up the heavens. He pees on them, because he's a monkey and he has no respect for anything. Then he jumps all the way back to the buddha's hand, where he's like "haha that was stupid, clearly you have no idea how powerful I am." And then the Buddha reveals that the five pillars that hold up the heavens are actually his own fingers, and shows Sun Wukong the little pee stain on his hand, and traps him under a mountain because he lost the bet fair and square.
Some detail about Rider Da Vinci. She is very different from Caster Da Vinci. In that she is 100% female Da Vinci didn’t turn into child. She is a homunculus created as a backup for Da Vinci’s memories
Nobunaga is an archer and is actually quite goofy most of the time, but due to the time she was summoned and seeing how Japan was doing in WWII the incompetence of the Japanese army and their tactics, she is extremely angry in Fate Redline. Apollo and other gods/goddesses are summoned in weird ways because they can't be summoned under normal circumstances (and because FGO needs excuses for them to be in the game). Apollo is also the reason why Paris is summoned as a child because he's a creep who thinks that was when Paris 'shined the brightest'. When Drake first showed up in Extra it was going off a real (and admittedly quite stupid) theory that Elizabeth I swapped places with Francis Drake and hinted that this was actually Elizabeth. FGO did away with all that and just said, nah Drake is just a lady with massive boobs. Blackbeard actually has one of his best showings in a summer event of all things (which is pretty sad) where he's laughing along with one of his crewmates who's trying to convince him to betray the mc and he shoots him down. Edison is a fusion between the 'heroic spirit Edison' and strengthened with the power of every US president and summoned as the MGM lion. Even in the story, it makes no fucking sense but I still love him. The bodysuit for both Scathach and Cu are a reference to the body paint that was supposedly worn by Celtic warriors. Emiya Alter does have a different backstory to normal Emiya that is far darker and I think the explanation for his skin tone is that his magical circuits are literally being burned away (which can definitely be interpreted as racist) due to how much he's been deployed as a counter guardian. Another side effect is that he has terrible memory, to the point where he has to write down his daily interactions so he won't forget his master. Aliens have also been a part of the Nasuverse since its inception in Notes and FGO has started to add onto that lore and make it way more well knon.
Blackbeard suffered from Flanderisatiol just after the end of Okeanos as his attitude as an otaku creep in the early game was him acting to try get his gard down because the acting he was doing in real life like putting fire in his beard and all that will not scared ancient hero who has fought giant monster and other things like but right after Okeanos it was promptly forgotten until the Hawai summer where he is just an otaku who has drop the creep factor
There is actually one F-->M genderbend servant in the game and it is a horse... Red Hare was the horse of the Chinese general Lu Bu and has been hinted at being a mare. In Fate though, Red Hare is a centaur with a horse face and is male.
The reason why rider has a Pegasus is due to the original mythology of medusa, when she was slain by Perseus, it flew out of her neck. Also, she can only turn things to stone when she becomes Gorgon. The general rule that’s been followed (outside of gag and holiday events) depends on what the person in question is capable of doing, like you said with Arthur, she can be a saber because of Excalibur or a lancer Rhongomyniad. Outside of public perception is also periods in their life, Gilgamesh being the great example, The one that everybody knows is when he starts out in the story, kid Gil is obviously before that, Castor Gill, however, is at the end of the story, all kinds of interesting ideas that leave the door open to expand upon an older character that didn’t get much attention The reason why sabers generally tend to have the riding trait is because most sword wielders in story or history tend to be on horseback most of the time
Would've been cooler if she just had wings herself based on that lore doesn't help that Bellerophon is the weakest NP in the series At least Medusa Avenger form in FGO gives her this
@@tonyinfinite5174Bellerophon isn't actually weak. It's got the durability of a Dragon, the destructive power of a Anti Army class Noble Phantasm so it can destroy huge chunks of the city if Medusa wanted to use it that way and is faster then most Rider mounts do to it effectively becoming a explosive streak of light. It's not as fast as actual light however. Honestly if you look at Medusa's full Ability set she's one of the most powerful Servants in that Fuyuki grail war.
@@Razealuxe nerfed Artoria Excalibur activated before Rider could get that NP off and last I checked Artoria doesn't have speed stats or skills. the reality is Medusa needs a top tier magi to get any of her skills going she's on the low side otherwise
@@tonyinfinite5174 no its them fact Excalibur is one of the only Anti Fortress Noble Phantasms in the entire series. Even with her lowered stats Medusa's abilities are dangerous. She doesn't need a top tier magus to use her eyes which you literally can negate. The best you can do is avoid getting turned to stone. Yes she does need a solid mage to not get nurfed stat wise but so does every Servant.
@@Razealuxegood for you your wrong, Gae Bolg is also Anti-fortress if thrown via Cu's power also Gram the literal demon sword equivalent to Excalibur is anti fortress Minamoto no Raikou's NP counts as well. really her stone gaze, 15 year old high schooler Emiya Shirou pre Archer buff was able to pull Rin out of the way while he's in the stone gaze did I mention he was also in Blood fort andromeda as well let this example tell what Medusa is without magical energy which almost everyone in 5th war outside Zouken and Rin. yeah Medusa needs her weight pulled
1:08:45 The Cleopatra you are talking about (and that is the most well know) is Cleopatra VII (called Cleopatra Philopator - friend to the father - to differenciate her from all the other Cleopatras in her family) and she lived about 300 years after Alexander the Great. Her ancestor Ptolemaios (by the way all men of the family he founded were named Ptolemaios and all the girls were either Cleopatra, Berenike or Arsioe) was one of Alexander's generals and friends.
Listen man I know this PROBABLY won't bang in the algorithm but I just wanted to say I love this. Hope you do more of this with Dawg or even get Sonic in here xD
1:21:25 the absolute irony of the series that constantly genderbents historical and mythological figures to be more accurate than the one that doesn't.
50:49 Paris was a full grown young man in the events of the choice between the goddesses and the war of Troy in Fate. It is just that Apollo "hitched a ride" when Paris was summoned (much like how his sister Artemis did almost completely take over the summoning of Orion making him just a Teddy bear, though Apollo is fine hanging back and being a mascot character sheep that pushes Paris long), he decided to change Paris into a shota, because that is how he likes his male favorites (remember Apollo has many male and female lovers). 55:26 you are aware that the three valkyries in the Valkyrie Servant are Ortlinde, Hildr and Thrud (yes, the very same Thrud). (The Summer versions also give us Rindr, Geirskögul, Ölrun, but aside from Rindr who is also a goddess and mother to Odins last born son Vali, they are all pretty obscure.)
if i recall, i think they admitted that the reason why Nero looks just like saber is so they could trick fans who already were invested into artoria to buy fate extra. In other words: a fake out lol.
It’s funny too because Nero is my favorite Fate girl and my favorite Saber as I was actually introduced to Fate through the original PSP version of Fate/Extra so imagine my confusion when I decide to read the VNs and see this Blue Nero “knockoff”💀 I was in for quite the rude awakening
Jack the Ripper is special Everytime u summon him/her u will get a different version. This is because there are numerous theories about who Jack the Ripper could have been a cop, a demon, and etc. _This loli version of Jack_ is base of the number of aborted children who were disposed of in rivers reached the ten-thousands, the collection of resentment that the children shared eventually formed the shape of a human. Because she was created from children who had yet to even be born, she lacked common sense and morality, and simply killed prostitutes so she could return to the womb. To put it another way, this is the heretical Jack who was born from the “side of the victims”.. **She bascally the collection of the aborted children of prostitutes in Whitechapel, London.** - this is why she refer to herself as “we” all the time ~ could explain y she called her master “mommy” This is what Joan had to face. And this is y archer wanted to save them, because she was once abandoned as a child.
Another Fun fact about Jack Jack The Ripper is actually eligible for all servant classes because of all the rumors and mysteries behind his murders but if were to be summoned in any class but the Berserker, Jack would be as prone to murder and disobey their Master on a moments notice as in any class, except in Berserker because apparently the Berserker trademark skill Madness Enhancement ,which usually just gives super strength in exchange of making the servant a brute, just does the opposite and turns Berserker Jack into a well mannered, soft spoken gentleman more than capable of silver tonguing their way out of problems. It's kinda hilarious to be fair
So an interesting thing Franes eyes being covered is a refance to the book, where desipte bein sticthed up was pretty handsome his only flaw his eyes was pretty fucked and creepy
fun fact about Scathach, she is Scottish and the bodysuit she and many of the other Celtic servants wear is a reference to how Celtic warriors would fight naked. I think that's a cool way to reference their fighting style. Since you cant have nudity in normal games, a skin thigh body suit seems an appropriate compromise.
About Medusa having a Pegasis. It was explained in Fate/Hollow Ataraxia that she was gifted it at some point by Poseidon or something. And her Mystic eyes are so strong that they DEFINITELY could petrify people to the point actually turning people to stone at full power, but it would probably work on anyone if she didn't have that blindfold. It is supposed to hide her identity secret AND keep her eyes from petrifiying people that aren't her targets. In Heaven's Feel, the glasses she wears suppresses her Mystic eyes and she does have the ability to suppress them if she cuts off her magical energy, but unless she's skilled or powerful enough, she could cut off her eyesight temporarily in the process.
40:15 funnily enough, in the holy grail war that Nobu originates from _(told in the gag manga KOHA-ACE and re-imagined seriously in Type Redline)_ , set in the 1930s, and the Master of the Caster in that war is ol’ Adolf -- or rather, a body double of his Edit: oh lol, you mention Redline minutes later. I guess I’ll mention that Caster’s Master in Redline hasn’t actually been revealed yet, as far as I remember, so it might be changed from KOHA-ACE, like the other Masters; since in KOHA-ACE the Masters were mostly just characters from Fate and Tsukihime (e.g. in the KOHA-ACE version of the war Artoria was Nobus Master, in Redline she was replaced with the half-white girl)
Okay, Frances Drake. First appearance in Fate/Extra. Not actually. Frances Drake. There's a story that when Queen Elizabeth was scarred, she met with her best friend and they switched places. That's why after they supposedly switch places, their personalities were completely different. The real Francis Drake wore a mask and continued on as Queen Elizabeth, but Queen Elizabeth gained freedom in being scarred and started to sail the seas as Francis Drake. There you go.
15:52 you want to hear something perhaps more interesting. The fact that Poseidon uses a three pronged trident. Hades uses a two pronged bident. And Zeus uses a lightning bolt something your can consider to be a single pronged spear like weapon.
27:00 that’s suppose to be a suit. The grey that you are seeing that makes it look like the dress is likely shading due to the electrified gauntlet he’s wearing.
1:14:22. I never really noticed this on Blackbeard's FA but while I saw the Kaiju, this is the first time I saw the Ultra figure and Kamen Rider belt, I like him way more now
The servant class is about eligibility and then it's pick at random. Like Heracles has done a lot of things in his legend so he can be any class except caster meanwhile Shakespear can only be a caster because he is only known as a writer.
1:46:02 if my understanding of things is correct the reason why heroic spirit emiya has a tan complexion is due to him pushing his Trace and enhancement magecraft so much that he is literally cooking his body like a living furnace. The alter version of himself who has no heroic desires anymore pushes himself even further then his regular self going from tan to burnt black using his magecraft with no restraint.
27:18 technically that title goes to EMIYA since his death at the earliest is in the middle to late 2010's possibly in the early 2020's seeing as how he was a master in the 5th Grail War which took place in the year 2004
Someone else generally said this but yeah, a servant's class is determined by what they did or are capable of in their myths. For instance, if someone was a lance fighter in history, they will qualify as a lancer class servant, but if their legend says they were also proficient in archery and was known to use magic occasionally, they'd be qualified for the archer, lancer, and caster classes. However, since they aren't known as well for their magic, caster would be the weakest of their available classes. For example Cú Chulainn in FGO is summonable as a lancer, but since Scáthach taught him runic magic he is also summonable as a caster, however being weaker than his lancer self, he even says," next time summon me as a lancer, will ya?" A perfect example of this is Heracles who qualifies for every class except Caster because he trained in everytghing but magic in his life. All servants can technically become berserkers, as being a berserker doesn't have anything to do with their lore in the original timeline but would be a calculated trade off of sanity/control for power by the mage as seen when Zouken Matou tells Kariya that he will add lines to the summoning incantation to make up for his lack of talent as a mage. That is why Lancelot is a berserker. That said, in FGO berserkers are typically berserkers because of their lore, i.e: Frankenstein. Additionally, Fate GO being a gacha game has added alternate versions of pre existing units in new classes based on whats happened in the story or the current event. Cu again is a good example of such as he can also be summoned as a berserker because of a wish made by Queen Medb in the America chapter, however his sanity is still intact. Edit : it is explained in FGO in her servant profile that her entire crew simply chose to refer to and record Francis Drake as a man bc thwy thought she was too manly to be thought of otherwise Edit 2: fun fact, Xiang Yu was also turned into a giant horse robot. There is a SINGLE female to male genderbend in FGO and it's Lu Bu'd horse 'Red Hare' who is a female horse but since she believes she is the real Lu Bu, she is a man when summoned. Edit 3: Famous inventors in FGO are sometimed depicted as casters in fgo such as Charles Babbich or Thomas Edison. Note I would love to see Edison on here. Minor spoiler bc 4thsnake isn't there yet but you simply would not guess Edison. LETS GOOOOO 1:32:48 Edit 4: Lancers killing themselves is a running joke in the fandom. Ironically, in game Cu is one of tje best soloists because his skills lend to him being a survivalist with a skill that gets him stronger the lower his health is befotr reviving him when he dies Disengage which heals him and Protection from Arrows which outright prevents most attacks from hitting up to 3 times
Under Dog is right. Because of how he has to use magic, every time he uses projection his pigment in his hair dies and his skin is literally burned as described in fgo. Detroit Emiya specifically comes from a different timeline where things are generally more fucked up. His whole thing is that hes not evil but hes less moral than ARCHER Emiya.
One quick thing. While America does hand way away zerker Cu as solely due to Medb, he already qualified for the class but was unlikely to ever be summoned as such. It is where the whole "dog" thing comes from for Cu, he went crazy during a battle and killed the guard dogs a king then swore to be the guard dog until they could be replaced. It's literally in his name. Lol. It literally means "Hound of Culann". We(jp already has him) will finally get him going by his real name in like a year and a half or something.
beelzebub is the demon prince of fun fact, my step mom is a great something niece of billy the kid, and on my dads side i'm a descendant of thomas mckean, a founding father and reason the vote to secede from the british empire didn't end in a draw.
The reason why Paris looks like a shota is because of Apollo deciding that they must be cute. Blackbeard can't scare these great heroic warriors who stare at monsters unflinchingly so his cool tactics would never work to get him an edge, but being creepy on the other hand can be effective. Edit: There is one example when a female becomes a male and that is Red Hare.
Cool Fact about Francis Drake in the Fate/Extra series revealed was that she was Queen Elizabeth. The story goes she and her body double snuck on real male francis drake ship because they were friends. Something happened to kill drake and scarred Elizabeth face. Then she took control of the crew to save everyone. She went on to do Drake famous deed while her body double pretended to be queen until she returned.
@@RarutoUchiha2 In Fate/Extra before you face her, You gather information about her when here about the golden hind and even in the servant matrix said there was a story bout her being queen elizabeth.
@@angel7661 I don't know what you pretend to do here quoting the wiki. From her actual profile matrix: "In addition - and this is merely literary creation - there is also a story full of romance in which Drake was a companion of Queen Elizabeth and, just before setting sail for the world circumnavigation, switched places with the Queen, who could no longer go out in public due to receiving a wound on her face."
@@RarutoUchiha2 Yes that is what I meant. The Francis Drake we see has a scar on her face. Why would they add that if they just wanted gender bend Francis Drake, They are hinting that she was Queen Elizabeth.
The All-Might lady TrueUnderdawg brought up is named "Star & Stripe". She's an American girl that All Might saved when he was a teenager, living in America during his youth/training stage before returning to Japan. Much like Deku, she idolizes All Might and is technically his disciple, and became the Number 1 Hero of America. Her power is called New Order (which the community joking calls colonization). It gives her the ability to impose a "rule" upon two things she touches. Said rule can defy physics to a sizable degree, and she must know the name of the thing she's touching in order to lord over it.
1:25:05 two things worth mentioning regarding this Da’Vinci . First off is the fact that the first Da’Vinci (the big one) is a main character in the FGO story. She is our engineer, technical advisor, and temporary leader after the death of Romani during the final chapter of the first arc. The second thing worth mentioning is that the child Da’Vinci is not a servant. Long story short during the start of the second arc Da’Vinci is kill by one of the main antagonists when they raid our facility. However it is revealed shortly afterword that between the first and second story arc Da’Vinci made a backup body for herself just in case. And she made it a child body because Da’Vinci doesn’t do the same thing twice. So when the first Da’Vinci died the second Da’Vinci woke up not only acting as her successor but also as the orimary control unit for Chaldea’s escape vehicle which is why she’s a rider.
Medusa is basically the mother of pegasus also she can control her mystic eye of petrification somewhat. cleopatra has nothing to do with alexander lmao. Buddha is always shown with long earlobe, it represents his immense wisdom, its not a japanese thing. Thor had blonde hair in a few versions of norse myth.
for the people who want a more clear explanation of the whole "why is Jack the Ripper a loli in fate" The assassin version of Jack is supposed to be a sort of wrath type of character where its the collective rage of all the children of the aborted children of prostitutes coming back to take revenge/returning to the womb, which is their I guess "head canon" on why in history Jack only targeting prostitutes is because their opening up their stomach area and just sort of sleeping/laying their in the pool of blood as she herself describes it as "I feel warm when we are here" (Jack refeers to herself as we since shes the multiple souls aka the collective spirits of the dead never born children)
(At this point I’m just making a wall a text, so I’m going to make one more comment here, if anyone has questions about fate by all means, ask, I am more than willing to answer to anyone who’s curious)
33:59 actually you are both wrong. This isn’t Dracula it’s Vlad Tepes very important distinction because he hates down right LOATHS the fact that his legacy is associated with an unholy monster that has nothing to do with him.
The reason why Mordred is wearing practically nothing to cover her chest, in-universe it's explained that because she sees herself as a man (due to her familial issues with Arthur and wanting to be the heir to Camelot's throne, which required that people believe her to be male), she tries to dress the part (or at least what she *THINKS* is "dressing the part", as she did not have anything close to a normal childhood so she doesn't actually know what the "normal" way to dress would be, so she generally just goes with whatever "clothing" she thinks is the most comfortable) and she gets royally pissed off if you ever refer to her as a woman (to the point that the first time you do it within earshot of her, she will immediately press the edge of her sword's blade to your neck and say that if you call her a woman again, that she will kill you for it). And Mordred isn't someone you want to have pissed off at you, as despite her being a Saber, she actually fights more like a Berserker and she is extremely aggressive in battle. She may not be quite as strong as Artoria, but she's slightly tougher and a bit more durable. Fate also portrays her in a very tragic and sympathetic light, as Mordred, despite the fact that she's considered one of the villains of the Arthurian legend, is actually a good person at heart and she was the most chivalrous out of all of the Knights of the Round Table, outdoing even the likes of Galahad and Lancelot in that regard. The only reason she revolted against Arthur was because, despite how many times and how hard Mordred tried to genuinely earn the right to be named as Artoria's heir, Artoria refused to even consider Mordred as a possible heir, and this led to Mordred incorrectly believing that Artoria hated her. But Artoria in fact did not hate Mordred and simply did not know how to be a good parent to Mordred, and the reason Artoria refused to name Mordred as her heir is because Artoria wanted to spare Mordred from the burden of Camelot's throne....and the reason Mordred wanted the throne was simply so that Artoria could then be free to live her own life however she wished and to be free of the burden of the throne. In short, they both wanted to protect and "save" each other in their own ways, but this ultimately led to them inadvertently driving a wedge between themselves. And it also didn't help that Mordred also had Morgan le Fay whispering in her ear and further messing with Mordred's head. Mordred is also one of the friendliest people you could meet when you get down to it, as she doesn't really care about formality and would be content to just hang out, chill with you and have fun. She's hot-headed, but in a good and endearing way, and you can always count on her to have your back when it mattered most. Fionn McCumhail's last name is pronounced "McCool". Edison has a Lion head because it's supposed to be the MGM lion (the lion that roars prior to some older movies starting) just because he could. ....And he's also apparently every US President at the same time. Edison is an odd one, that's for sure. :P Also, Scathach isn't evil, and she's 100% human. She just wound up becoming such a powerful warrior and mage that the world itself basically just decided that she's immortal (to the point that she can't even kill herself, nor can the Gae Bolg pierce her heart to kill her despite it's ability to *ALWAYS* strike the target's heart). The one thing she wants most is to die, which is part of the reason she trained Cu, as she hoped he'd be able to kill her one day, but by the time his training was done, she was too strong and he wasn't able to kill her. Scathach would side with humanity over trying to destroy it (the only reason she's hostile in Fate Extella Link is because Karl Magnus managed to mind control her). Scathach is easily one of the most powerful Lancers in existence, and her skill as a mage is equal to her skill as a warrior which means she's also an extremely powerful Caster. Scathach is so strong that she is literally capable of killing beings at the same level of power as actual Gods. With Fran, in Fate it's actually a case of Frankenstein creating the Bride of Frankenstein (Fran) first, and then he created the classic Fraknenstein's monster. So Fran is actually the Bride of Frankenstein rather than Frankenstein's Monster.
Lore reason why Nero looks like saber is because of Aphrodite (don’t ask why a lot of servants look the same cause I don’t get how ancient Japanese person looks like saber) real world reason money.
Medusa has the Pegasus because it birthed from her corpse. Nobunaga was known as the Demon King of the sixth Heaven, hence the skeleton Paris in FGO is a boy because he hated the war he caused as an adult and consider his childhood his "peak". About Frakenstein, in Fate, the doctor tried to recreate Adam and Eve. But instead of starting with Adam, he made Eve first. So technically, she is Frankenstein's bride.
I think child Jack the Ripper is such a cool and interesting take, at least with the addendum that there are other versions. But why they have to make them look like this?! Why not have them dress up like a cute Victorian child that adds to the creepy factor
One thing about Ares that people don't really know is that, Ares while a God of War, isn't actually high up on the powerscale compared to the Olympians. He's been defeated by Giants, Heracles, Apollo, Diomedes, Athena,, and the list goes on. Just because he was the God of War, doesn't mean Ares was the toughest god around
There is actually a theory that explains why Drake got genderswapped, or rather that "he" is not genderswapped at all since the servant we got in fate is in fact queen Elizabeth I and not Drake
I disagree on Jack, both interpretations are pretty cool and interesting. Obviously the shape shifter is really cool and unique. But loli Jack isn't just an excuse for a girl in a skimpy outfit. The idea is that Jack only targeted prostitutes, many of whom were pregnant. And so that mass of "unborn children" who were victims created a curse that manifested in this form. Both Jacks are two sides of a coin. Strange/Fake Jack is an interpretation of Jack the Ripper the serial killer, and Apocrypha Jack is an interpretation of Jack's victims. I think Apocrypha Jack is much cooler conceptually on a thematic and philosophical level, while Strange/fake Jack is just cooler on a surface/action level.
Its funny saying nobody would get the "Spear of Longinus" in Evangelion when its literally called Evangelion and has so many jesus and Christianity references in it its not even funny.
They do at least try to give some excuses as to why they change a character in Fate or try to give them an interesting twist in their story. How successful they are with this depends very heavily on the character.
10:34 so ah no While servants can be effected by human perception it usually has no effect over their memories or appearence At best in specific cases they would get an extra noble phantasm
Caesar is fat in Fate because he is ill suited to Saber class as it's depiction of him past his prime as a emperor/diplomat Much more fit class for him would be Rider where he would look much more fit.
The reason why Edison has a lion head is due to Edison’s relation to the film industry, and the super American design is because he is also a conglomerate servant of Edison and every us president ever.
Rider's Pegasus is just as out of nowhere in the VN to my recollection. The idea is that the Pegasus is tied to her mythology somehow. The thing about the VN is you get to read excerpts from Shirou's perspective whenever something major happens. You get a lot of additional context the anime's can't convey.
From my understanding, in mythology, Pegasus was literally born from her body after Perseus decapitated her. Hence, her wounding herself and drawing her own blood allows her to summon Pegasus to fight with her. Hence, Rider class. Hope this cleared things up.
@@hikarihakai1285 in some interpretation, when Medusa get ..uh.. acquainted by Poseidon, she get some seeds from him. Poseidon have affinity with horse, remember?
