@@ezon725a grand servant is basically a servant chosen to fight the evils of humanity like tiamat in the video and hassan is such a great assassin that unless he himself gives it up he will always be picked to be a grand assassin. While other classes have several candidates to be chosen to be a grand servant and the world chooses a different candidate based on the situation so they are most of the time the pinnacle of their class one of the best saber, rider or whatever and only the assassin class has one candidate only
@@luizotavio44it has only one candidate, but at the same time, it's not just one. The other Hassans can also qualify for the Grand title so there are still tons of candidate after this gramps pass down the title. This is because King Hassan is just a title in the organization, despite this particular Hassan being its founder. Every member there at some point will bear the title and have a successor so on and so forth. There will always be a King Hassan, but he/she won't always be wielding Azrael.
I like how he is such a historically legendary assassin, that even if he gave up his Grand Assassin classification to work with Chaldea, no one else qualifies for it, so he can just go right back to being one when he wants. The term “assassin” itself is literally derived from his name.
I believe it was supposed to be an insult. Hashashin was what I believe was the original name which meant Weed smoker as an insult toward Hassan's ways
“If Primordial Mother be thy title then thou shalt know mine, from the Mountain Abyss I come, only Death do I bring, I am the Old Man of the Mountain the first Hassan-I Sabbāh!”
His Noble Phantasm, Azrael is extremely powerful. Sure, not as flashy as others we saw - but the ability to literally grant death to anything is still exceptionally powerful.
He is fcking broken immortality type 9 and he can instant death anyone no matter how strong they are. I would like to see King Hassan vs Saber Ryougi Shiki with her mystic eyes of death perception
@@quesitomalito9565 I mean he still has a point though, Hassan can literally create those lines that Shiki can see. What’s more is that you said it yourself he’s literally immortal and cannot be killed. Even if she could harm him it would be the equal to her cutting the ocean it would do fuck all. He is as close to the personification of Death as it gets.
@@eeasuper The creator said in an interview that he is going to be the ONLY one at that but take it with a grain of salt since he has changed mind in the past.
It's because he is the one that ends his own successor. As a founder of The Order of Assassin, his specialty is not just espionage, but his forte is to ends whoever he had to before his opponent realizes.
It's because one of his Passive Skills "At The Boundary: Rank A" gives him resistance to 'Instant Death' attacks like Nega-Genesis' effect on Servants.
@@owenemanka277 It does not MATTER if he is 'death' or not, King Hassan is STILL a Servant in this instance, especially after sacrificing his Grand Saint Graph to fuel his conceptual attack against Tiamat that imposed the concept of death onto her. Nega Genesis is said to insta-kill EVERY Servant that steps into it, that includes King Hassan because he IS a Servant. Only living humans are immune. King Hassan only survives because of 'At The Boundary'. Even then, you can SEE ethereal blue flame spring up on his body as he enters into the Nega Genesis field, just like the fire that appeared when he was shot by a Bel Lahmu earlier, so it IS still affecting him.
Lol, he is someone within the rift between life and death. He doesn't registered as either living or the dead. He is death. Well, he is fire, and he is death, all he does is bring nothing but deaths.
"While the sun shines, I am invincible! My sword is second only to the Lion Kings' himself!" "Look upon the heavens, foolish knight. Does the sun shine above thine head?"
Even Ozymandias is absolutely *terrified* of him, and Ozy is more or less on par with Gil. As a villain he'd be damn near unstoppable, and even if he was eventually defeated, it wouldn't have been without him leaving a ton of bodies in his wake.
@@gamester512 ummm no Gilgamesh and Ozy are basically bestfriends for their similar attitudes but Ozy is weaker than Gilgamesh. Gil can just nuke him in his Pyramid with EA not to mention Ozy has divinity so the chains of heaven will also be effective on him.
@@INCOGNITO-iq4qy I know Ozy is weaker than Gil, but he's not weaker by very much, they're still very close to each other in terms of overall power. And while Gil certainly has the means to put Ozy down really fast if he wanted to (Chains of Heaven & Ea being the main ways he could do so....but without his Chains or Ea it would very likely be a much closer fight where the winner wouldn't be nearly as clear-cut), Gil very likely wouldn't use them right away because he'd likely be having too much fun tangling with Ozy. Gil probably wouldn't resort to Ea until he had had his fill of fun with Ozy, at which point he would happily show off Ea as Ozy would certainly be someone Gil viewed as being worthy of witnessing the sword's power.
@@gamester512 there are literally three things that make gilgamesh a powerful foe. Those are the chains of heaven, ea, and the gate of babylon. So if you take away two out of three aspects that make up his power than of course he's going to be no where near as threatening as he would be at full strength. That's why there was such a major difference between his archer and caster classes but also why they had to force a paradigm switch on gil to force him into his archer class at the end. because as a caster he's practically crippled in comparison to his archer class.
One of the if not the coolest characters in fate.i mean he's like 7 feet tall is flaming blue fire everywhere, is an assassin that uses a great sword and shield, and has a theme
@@lolok1099 low key, Yama has nothing on Hassan. Both are fucking insanely powerful but Hassan is just too domineering with his power. Yama has things he needs to protect and thus he is shackled. Hassan is indifferent to life as a whole he serves the world itself and will sacrifice as many lives necessary bar his master to ensure victory and the continuation of the world. That’s why the requirements to summon him are so fucking steep. The world must literally hang in the balance just to get Hassan to fight.
@@hsllk I wouldn't be so sure. TypeMoon released another trailer recently and it shows Old Man Hassan standing before Gawain in a replica of his NP animation in the game; the one with the desert and totems etc.
That's because they cut a few lines. For example, "Of rank, nor station, nor the title of Grand do I need.", as well as "Hearken! The evening bell tolls thy name.". Had those lines been included, it would be just as epic
I have a friend that watched fsn and fz but never played fgo. But when we watched this anime together and 'a beggar on the street' scene plays, he immediately knew that beggar is gonna play huge role cuz "he share the same VA as kotomine kirei"
I dont know why but I just love how hyper styilized the Tiamat CGI is. Suprisley helps it work since it matchs the more detailed backgrounds and lighting, making almost look like it lept out of the gane cutscenes. Also I loved the detail of the lines you see in Shiki's NP being drawn on Tiamat. Its a cool way to show that the concept death is being enforced on her, in a way only fans of FGO would recognize.
I also love that the heavily implied lore for why Hassan is so powerful is that not only is he a grand Assassin because his name and order is where the name even derives, but he is also potentially the first murderer: Cain. He makes references to himself being of human descent close to Adam and Eve and the idea that Cain has been roaming the earth until the about the time of the Third Crusade to form the assassins makes enough sense in the term of the curse God put on him and the Fate universe at large.
@@bbonsoir the comment is Yorokobe shonen what makes you think that it's not obvious that it's kirei? He's the only one who say that Oh and the VA also voice Vortigern
God, this guy is such an absolute juggernaut. Literally bleeding flames all over from his wounds, he still stands strong and marches forward. They impale him again, he just looks down at them then literally devours them. He is truly Absolute Death. "For whom the bell tolls," indeed.
@@captainweekend5276 the game does show that the Ziusu dra was Gramps. His silhouette is shown changing into Gramps when he appears for the final battle. As for Siduri, its obvious that it was her. What other human connection did chaldea make that was so strong that would make a lahmu not attack them besides Siduri. Its just that animes get a lot more room to drop hints like these than games.
@@captainweekend5276 Agung yoga is correct. Severing Ereshkigal from the Three Goddess Alliance was Ziusu Dra, aka Old Man Hassan. Azrael was used on Ereshkigal, breaking her contract with the alliance between herself, Quetzacoatyl and Gorgon. And in the game, as Old Man Hassan appeared, it was the silhouette of Ziusa Dra, and it changed to Old Man Hassan.
@@captainweekend5276 Its the direct translation from the game. It's used in the anime. Of course, as I said, some lines were taken out, but they are all the same. And Old Man Hassan is Ziusu Dra. It's been confirmed. Go to the fandom wiki pages. Besides, the anime is faithful to the game, meaning Aniplex and Nasu are involved to make sure there are no changes
Hassan i Sabbah.....He will always be welcomed to my Chaldea. Wisdom and courage alone makes him invaluable, but the fact he abandoned his grand assassin title. he will forever be a grand Assassin to me
All that begins must end. So to all that lives dies and finds value, thy vaunted eternity thou covets is not but a hollow slumber, thou fallen god to beasthood turned, thy desperate act that thy love goes unrequited shows thy rejections roots. If primordial mother by thy title thou shalt know mine from the mountain abyss I come only death do I bring. I am the old man of the mountain the First Hassan!
@@azazelsiad3601 the translation of the first part "All that begins must end. So to all that lives dies and finds value" is wrong in your translation and also the anime subs. the right translation is: it's not because someone is alive that their life have value, but because life can end so it can have real value. the wrong translation is more poetic.
@@mehdikhalfallah3056 Actually, you're wrong. That's how it was also translated in the game. Sure in the anime he doesn't say "Of rank, nor station, nor the title of Grand do I need.", but the anime subs is exactly word for word with the game save the line I mentioned.
In Camelot he gave us a taste of what he can do without these absurd powers we witness in Camelot...this is how you know if he were ever to get serious things would be over in an instant.
You think he was serious here? See his legend is one of those weird one were if he truly leaves no witnesses, how did his legend come to be? Honestly, he was probably trying here but I wouldn’t even begin to believe he was serious, mainly because he had to watch out for collateral damage. Had he really been allowed to cut loose he’d likely impose death on every living being in the vicinity kill off Taimat and go back to his alter to continue praying to God because he ain’t got time for her crap. Heads need rolling, god needs praying to.
Imagine being so fucking badass you're labelled as the best assassin in the whole of Human History, while wielding a massive ass broadsword almost as big as yourself
I’m sure he can kill anyone in hundreds of waves greatsword included but he chooses to weild his sword in order to judge and execute other Hassan’s that stray from the path.

@@MrRwert He never has title to begin with, because he is not dead, sure he is a Grand Caster candidate and has Clarvioyance, but can't take the seat, cuz you know he is still alive in Avalon. As of right now the seat of the Grand Caster remains vacant.
@@NickN56 Yeah, but as it is stated that he is the only qualified for Grand Assassin there is a chance he recovers his position as a Grand at some point.
I'm surprised Type-Moon doesn't just abuse Ufotable every time they want the most insane animation quality by this point. At this point I just want Ufotable to animate the universe.
@@battleshipbismarck Yeah but at the same time Babylonia still had pretty good animations. But you just can't beat Ufotable, the Tsukihime remake's OP is just perfect and we all know about Demon Slayer and their Fate adaptations. I'm hoping Ufotable will get more Fate adaptations, maybe they could even adapt Tsukihime into movies like Kara no Kyoukai. It's just pure eye-candy at this point.
@@battleshipbismarck The animation in Babylonia had amazing NP animations that can rival UFO Table,and the actual animation for Babylonia wasn't bad. It was actually really good. The fact they used 3D animation for Tiamat actually was impressive with how it fit in the style. Then let's not forget the animation of Apocrypha, it was also as good. Though the budget did go to Karna and Sieg(fried)'s battle, it was still great. Though I think Karna's Vasavi Shakti's animation was godly.
I love that when his eyes change there’s a light tonal ping to indicate his demeanor has changed. But at 1:10 it’s not a ping it’s the sound of that Llamus heart stopping after realizing how fucked he is.
Fate is where... Saber has sword shoots laser beams. Archer uses swords and fists more than bow and arrow. Lancer always die. Berserker can read books and talks normally Assassin use a giant sword like saber and eats flesh like a berserker.
King hassan has one of the most broken abilities of all time. Yeah gilgamesh can erase reality but we've seen countered ,how do you negate a concept forced upon ,especially death, this is anti-immortal noble phantasm
The "Concept of Death" is not a kill move, it simply grants the target the [Ability to Die], which some creatures do not have. King Hassan is just strong enough to often inflict instant death together with the actual attack, but that is just a bonus.
@@Ragazalothoh yeah the death concept giving is his skill eveningbell.his np azrael would kill anyone who sees it.he didnt use his np in babilonia anime
And this is why we respect the old man of the mountain. He not only scared a immortal god, but introduced the concept of Death to it, meaning it could actually die. And not only is he the first assassin he is one the Hassans fear, if they fuck up and diverge from the path of a hassan he will take their heads.....and do so before they even know he has done so.
Thanks to a certain Ultimate One, we know that having no concept of death just means really really REALLY hard to get rid of. Specifically, to destroy the body completely. To think many high ranked Noble Phantasms barely did anything to Tiamat until Gramps taught her how to die. Then again, in the other case, it took an attack from a stellar saint graph to finish the job.
King Hassan is basically us playing Assassins Creed or hitman and kill everyone on the area. Nobody knows we are there if nobodies lives to tell the tales
too bad it's not his human form, he disguise as Ziusudra and thats how Ziusudra look i mean what you see right now is already a human form, but KH covering himself with mask and armour
