AniNews in vedas says there are 33 cores or coti gods in universes. In hindi language 1 core or coti mean 10 million. But in Sanskrit core or coti means types. So in English it means there are 33 types God in universes. So people who don't know Sanskrit they take it wrong away and think
I know that you don't know the Mahabharath and Indian culture totally. The course of events that you described is pretty much out of order and are many things are misinterpreted. For example, you said Arjun is not worthy of Indra's spear. That is not true because he is himself son of the Indra and also received the most deadly weapon of Pasupatha from the God of Laya (Siva). It is just that Karna though being a great warrior couldn't shine because he was unfortunate and unlucky as he was on the evil side. He is the greatest hypocrite of all time.
AniNews Karna is badass and because one my favorite characters from FATE/APOCRYPHA, Karna more badass than Artoria, Karna is so OP as Gilgamesh What if the two fight between Karna VS Gilgamesh and I don't like the trap because of 3 points 1 he a dude love's wearing woman clothes. 2 everyone from fanbase choose Astolfo as their waifu. 3 in FATE/GRAND ORDER Learning with manga the male master [us] act like pervert with Astolfo and Mash is with the female master who too in love with gacha all all because the fanbase love the female master more than the male master I'm saw Karna be a badass Karna the badass king! Baby
Fun fact: Indra, the God of Thunder and King of the gods, actually asked for the armor and earrings as charity. Karna was renowned as a great man of charity. If anyone asked him for anything he would give it without question. He would especially never deny a request made to him after his morning prayer to his father, The Sun.
@@solis_rex_89 It wasn't Krishna. It was Indra that approached Karna as a beggar. What mythology did you even read bruh. Indra foresaw that there would be a terrible clash between Arjuna, his son and Karna in the near future. And he knew of Karna's generosity and approached him. Surya warned his son Karna of Indra's plan. But Karna didn't want to abandon his code because of an impending threat. Karna initially refused the beggar, offered the beggar other things, but the beggar was insistent, and he finally caved in and gave it to him. Karna then praised him for being a caring father to his son(Arjuna), that's when Indra realized Karna had given his one chance of victory away even though he knew he was being deceived. Now the book says Indra was awed by Karna, but heck it seemed a lot like embarrasment, and he gave him Vasavi Shakti and the boon. Krishna learned of this and made sure Karna never clashed with Arjuna. Heck when they eventually did clash, Krishna, as he later admits, erased Karna's memory of having the Vasavi Shakti which is why he never got to use it on Arjuna when he had the chance. It was also amplified by Drona's curse which ensured that Karna forgot how to invoke Brahmastra exactly when he needed it the most, and Karna was literally defenseless against a prepared Arjuna, who was pampered with the best of tutors, had the best divine weaponry, and had an incarnation of one of the three Primordial Gods as his charioteer. Krishna made sure to set up things in his favour every time. Not because he was a master strategist, but because he was a devious schemer who didn't honor any laws of chivalry because he claimed that his side was the side of Dharma (righteousness) so he can do anything. He sent the demon Ghatotkaca to attack Karna's camp at night, which is a violation of the code of chivalry, and in night, demons are 10x stronger and on top, he is attacking a camp of unprepared men. It would've ended in a bloodbath if Karna didn't fire his Vasavi Shakti on the demon. Then Karna's second curse came into play and the earth swallowed his chariot, as in his chariot was stuck. Karna called on Arjuna to honor the code, and Arjuna planned to, but Krishna told him to go in for the kill right then, by saying that the wheel he is holding IS a weapon(This is a reference to the tragic death of Abhimanyu, he was cornered without a weapon and fought to his death with a chariot wheel in his hands. Krishna reminded Arjuna of this to anger Arjuna into taking the killshot) . Karna still had a chance at victory but he threw it away to follow a code that nobody around him seemed to give a shit about anymore. And death is what he got for it. And oh, Krishna danced in joy when he learned that Karna spent his Vasavi Shakti on Ghatotkaca. That's why Krishna even allowed Karna to face Arjuna. This is what passes for righteousness in the Indian subcontinent.
@@juicecan6450 Wow Karna was a truly noble spirit to the end. I want to find some sort of media to watch his story. It would be cool to see an actual Indian looking version of him and the events you all described.
Karna needs his own anime, what a legend this guy is. My favourite character in all of fate, and definetly in my top 5 favourite characters of all time.
multiple films and live-action series are actually based on Karna. there is one Hindi series called Surya Putra Karn on youtube and it is based on Rashmirathi and Mrutyunjay's novels, which basically tells the whole epic from Karna's point of view. Too bad they are not subbed or dubbed in English.
Karna was so generous that he used to distribute gold and jewels to the people of his kingdom each day he lived, he had made a promise to himself that he will never decline any request to the first person that asks of him anything in the morning and Indra took the advantage of it and asked for Karna's armor that can never be pierced, the armor was attached to karna's skin itself since his birth and grew with him like a body organ, still Karna peeled off his skin to Indra disguised as a sage, Indra then genuinely felt bad for karna and gave him a powerful weapon. The only thing that karna didn't had in his life was luck, later after he died in the war, Karna's mother revealed to her 5 sons including arjuna that karna was their brother, the fact that she didn't told them until now was because Karna requested her not to, if the his half brothers should have known that he was related, they would have not fought in the war and died. He made his mother a promise - "O Mother of mine, you acknowledged 5 sons before the war and only 5 shall remain, the ones to die would be either me or Arjuna."
Stabbing Abhimanyu in the back tho. He's done his share of sins too. The TV show glorifies him too much, he is definitely my fav character. But I won't paint him as a saint. He was mortal with very human emotions, and tendency to make mistakes, and yet had a strong sense of duty, and stuck to it till his end. Oh, and it took two Gods and a demigod, and a rainbow of curses to kill him. badass
@@scares3859 True. But on the other hand, he was also stubborn, and envious (of Arjuna), and prideful. He was offered a chance to end the bloodshed peacefully, or at the very least he could've made a counter offer to fight Arjuna 1 on 1 to the end when Krishna approached him, if he was so virtuous (Karna was clever, he knew he didn't stand a chance in a fair fight when all of Arjuna's focus is on him, so obviously he wouldn't agree to this). Instead he chose to go the route of opposing all his brothers and their lands. When you look at it objectively, yes, Karna was unfailingly loyal, but one of the reasons he stuck to his friend, who's sins he was fully aware of, was because he just wasn't willing to let go of the humiliation he suffered by watching the Pandavas get the best of teachings and luxuries, Arjuna in particular. And maybe a part of him was also slightly masochistic I suppose, cos reading the Epic I felt it was almost like he was punishing himself by being on Duryodhana's side. He knew he was on the wrong side, and it's like he decided that this was his lot in life, so fights it to the end anyway. My liking for Karna's character is not just picking a side, it's about how complex just this one character is, with so very human emotions and motivations. One of the reasons Mahabharata is an epic is because all the characters are so convincingly written.
MySpaceBarBroke Never mind, i fixed it So more like the shield astolfo used pulled Karna’s last attack into a reality marble which it destroyed so the reality marble was just cast, destroyed by karna’s attack from the inside but now karna’s attack had been spent which left him open
@@indrason6974 if you have read the Mahabharata you would know, the pandavas were rigged to win the war from the very beginning...multiple gods pulled the strings to ensure their victory and karna's story was to ultimately prove that despite being an out cast, and being called a commoner, he was the most noble and selfless character in the story
@@souvikbose8583 it's was there karma to loose and karna despite calling himself the best still lost because he committed grate sins if he was noble he would have won
@@indrason6974 first no one in Kurukshetra was devoid of sins...not even Yudhishthira...secondly, the only reason karna lost was because he sided with kauravas, and that was because pandava's would not see him as equals...karna did commit sins like calling draupati a whore in her wedding ceremony, but if I remember correctly none of those sins were uncalled for. draupati said she doesn't want to be with a son of a commoner and karna calls her a whore in retaliation ...infact later on karna regreats his outburst towards pandawas and drautpati too and mentally suffers because of it...and yes karna did lose despite calling himself the best, but the loss came only because he had to be taken down in an unfair battle, and was handed nerfs after nerfs by the gods...indra took his kavach kundali, kunti made him swear he won't go all out against his brothers (except arjun) , because of the curse placed by parashurana because of which he would forget all his knowledge about using the celestial weapons when facing (the person whom he wanted to defeat the most) arjuna who despite all thenerfs only managed to defeat him because by exploiting his generosity and killing him when he was fixing the wheel of his chariot...and its not like arjun could have defeated hm without it...Krishna literally told arjun that in a head on fight he would lose cause karna is invincible as long as he has Vijaya Dhanush
@@souvikbose8583 bro that part about parshuram's curse it is not "the person you want to beat the most" but it is "For which knowledge you deceived your master I curse you that the moment when you need my knowledge the most in your life you will forget all of it"
All his deaths are so cheap :( Shot while fixing his chariot Lost cuz Astolfo entered out of nowhere Killed by Cu Alter after his fight with Arjuna (The guy was fatigued)
There really isn’t that much indian inspiration in anime but Karna was so good a character and was very inspired by his legend that I loved him as a character
Catholic Weeaboo i mean Gil isn't really evil he well just doesn't know how to act with people he sees them all as lesser Karna could of ended up like him if he was raised by his mother but he was raised by 2 loving lower class parents im sure that's the reason he didn't end up like Gil
1.Karma was left abandoned into river because she tested the wish of child when young before marriage so that made her that do that. King was not involved in that. 2. Karna was not accepted into tournament but duryodhan used his royalty as Vito him in. 3. Karna's promise was she will have her five sons out of six(including him)so he promised death of one son which was his in the end. 4. Indra didn't steal his armor but asked for as in disguise of prist. Karna gave him despite knowing his form that why he is called wish granter.
Lemme tell u just how much buffed up Arjuna was in his final UNFAIR battle with Karna: 1.Arjuna's charioteer was Lord Krishna himself(avatar of Vishnu).I mean literally a GOD. Karna's charioteer was King Shalya(a splendid spear warrior himself) who constantly demotivated him and spoke ill about him so that Karna would get discouraged. 2.Hanuman, avatar of Lord Shiva, sat on top Arjuna's chariot to provide defense from Karna's attacks thereby buffing up the defense to whole another fucking level (Like we needed another God in battle between men). Now let's see how much nerfed our boy Karna was in his final battle: 1.He had a Kawach(armour) and a Kundal(earrings)which gave him protection from all physical and magical attacks but Lord Indra(father of Arjuna) tricked him into handing it over to him. The interesting thing is Karna knew all along that he was being tricked but still decided to play along(what a total badass). 2.He was storing an ultimate weapon which if used would have resulted in his victory in one clean stroke but AGAIN he was tricked into using it way before this battle by Lord Krishna. 3.In his childhood no renowned Archer accepted him as his student because he was low born so he lied to his teacher Parshuram(Yet another God) of being high born which resulted in Parshuram cursing him that he would forget his Mantras(magical incantations) when he needed them the most (soooo unfair). 4.He got yet another curse by a sage who's cow was killed ACCIDENTALLY by him that the wheel of his chariot would get stuck in the earth in the most dire situation of his life which ultimately leaded to his death.
Thanks bro I had forgotten about king shalya thanks for making me remember it Man you have to stay in tune with these things there are just so many things in one thing that it is awesome😊
@@199k21 yes and fate wiki didn't even mention Madry in Arjuna/ Karna's lore. Also Kunti conceived Karna before her marriage, not after and she's not as 'stupid' as she's often portrayed in Nasuverse. But I guess mentioning all of that is kind of meaningless because THIS is the Nasuverse. 😅
@@uselesshero.official if you mention it like that then all the heros from Hinduism are at the bare minimum universal level with brahmastra and all can literally beat the shit out of Gilgamesh
@@eliasmagus5086 Nahh. Gay clay, Ashwathama, Rama Archer, Attila, Scathach, Achilles, Heracles Archer, Quetzalcoatl, Ishtar, Ozymandias, Ereshkigal, Kama, Parvati, Arthur, Galahad, Toyotomi (Golden Realm Zipang) ,David (solely because of the Ark) , Emiya etc could one shot Gil and Karna tbh. Some of them can even cheat Gil from using Ea. Gil is only strong if he’s serious all the time. But... as he is, he is usually outwitted. Even with his full power, with circumstances against these heroes are against his favour.
I am really amazed at your knowledge on "Karna" and "Mahabharat". Almost every information was correct. Except two. 1. Not "Mahabharat War". It is "Kurukshetra War". 2. His Earrings (Kuntala) and Armor (Kavach) were not stolen. Karna was known as a generous person. It was a known fact that if anyone asked him for something at the end of his morning prayer to sun god, he always gave that thing to that person. Indra knew the fact and went to him at that time in disguise. When he asked for the earrings and armor, Karna guessed that the person could not be any normal person. Indra revealed himself. Karna agreed on a term that Indra had to give Karna a weapon named "Shakti" (The spear you mentioned) which was able to kill anyone regardless how powerful or heroic that person was. (I think the noble phantasm named "Vasavi Shakti" came from the weapon he received)
I think in the original lore it's more like a big dart (Vasavi shakti I mean),that's why karna also qualified to be lancer, because the dart is so big that you can hold it as a lancr
I heard Karna wouldn't KILL (not fight) any of his brothers other than Arjuna. AND Karna hopped off his chariot to get it unstuck and Arjuna killed him (breaking the rules of fair combat) for the death of his son. BUT that's Nasu's fault, not our golden boy~
@UCHIHA OBITO gae blog is hax...it is basically anti karna...not saying karna can't win...he certainly has more firepower and aoe by a landslide, but the thing is would he use it before cu uses gae blog
@@souvikbose8583 Not really. Due to his own armor, there is a high chance that karna could stand and tank have bolg and still be fine due to how bullshit it is. It reduces the damage of attacks by 90% along with providing the defense of the armor on top of it, which is part of how he was fine fighting Vlad for so long. (You can even see the attacks don't fully pierce to get to where it'll kill) No offense to cu, but even if he was in Ireland this is a fight he'd lose by a longshot. Even in fgo it takes cu alter taking karna by surprise after being tired from battle AND having his armor sealed causing no defensive status to manage to do him in with gae bolg
Indra didn't steal his armor.... You know when astolfo calls Karna hero of charity??? That's because Karna used to donate anything he had every morning... Indra disguises and asks for his armor and earrings as charity and he gives them to Indra...
Karna's chariot was not stuck because of his curse... It just happened and the charioteer who was of royal lineage refuse to pull the wheel from mud... And when Arjuna attacked him he lost his knowledge due to the curse by his teacher who was a Hindu god parshurama...the curse is that in the time of need he will forget all he learnt from him... The reason he was cursed is he lied about his lineage to be accepted as parshurama student...
Mahabarat Lore depicts that Arjun had Krishna manning the chariot, Hanuman on top of the chariot and a holy cow (nandi) as his steed. Despite all that, Karna still managed to almost take down Arjun without his armor. OP as hell.
According to legend, Karna's armor wasn't stolen by Indra. Indra came disguised as a priested and asked Karna for handouts, or requested the armor in particular (I don't remember which); point is, Karna gave his armor to Indra willingly, knowing full well it meant losing his invulnerability. Hence, he is called the hero of charity/giving. Indra was impressed by this, that's why he offered him the weapon in return.
Hindu Mythology!! Being an Indian and all I was told stories about them when I was a kid LOL.. Didn't realise that one of the legends would make it to the glorious land of anime
As a german I would have never thought to see Siegfried in Anime one day. He was the first hero I read about back then. I'm a bit sad how he was handled in the Anime but then again thanks to it I learned more about another great hero named Karna.
Karna was the one of most Amazing and powerful Archer in Hindu mythology he was also well trained in spear , swords and hand to hand combat but his childhood curse was that in a very decisive moment he will forget his training and attacks . he was much powerful and talented than Arjuna.
@@vishaulharnarine1993 Give me an actual battle where karna won against arjuna. The best he did was getting a draw in the rangbhoomi. Read the epic. Don't spread bs from some serials.
In "RASHMI RATHI" (Rashmi: Light, Rathi: One who is riding the chariot) a poem dedicated to him first few lines are like: Whose father was Surya(sun), mother Kunti Sati Kumari, he grew up with a box flowing on the edge. Raised in the lineage of lower caste, did not even taste single drop of motherhood, Karna turned out to be the most amazing hero among all the youths. Compassionate in body, passionate in mind, charitable by nature, not of caste and tribe, but of modesty and pride. By doing knowledge-meditation, weapons, scriptures, proper practice, Karna himself developed his own qualities
No he wasn't well... Mahabharata was not real but a overacted story made by the real one, there is no proof that Karna was a real guy, do you think he's the real son of GOD?
No one: How I explain the Lancer class: The lancer class are heroic spirits that tend to be some of the cutest or hottest males. Oh and they carry a spear or long range weapon
Karna was always my favourite since the childhood becoz of my Grandpa who used to recite the story of Mahabharata when I was kid. He is still one of my favorite. Although, it is about the same Karna depicted in Fate Apocrypha, these two Karna are different characters for me as when it is about the best servant, Cu Chulain will always be my best.
his armor wasnt stolen by indra but instead Indra asked karna to give it to him, and karna happily gave it to him without asking anything in return. that's why he is known the hero of charity. he met with one unfortunate scenario after another. if not for his armor being taken, and his promise made with his mother, karna would've kicked all 5 pandava's asses alone. but mahabharata is all about the unfairness, treachery and the hardships of the world. and it showed that your karma comes first before your religion. let's just say karna was the most talented but also the most unfortunate at the same time. good video though you covered almost all the important parts of his life clearly. keep up the good work bro ^_^/
That would be too op and will make the series boring, u know why Batman movies more likable and relatable than Superman because Superman is too op which leads to boring scenes like, oh he's gonna win anyway
back then watching FATE apocrypha he is definitely one of the most badass characters I have ever seen ^.^ I called him 'Karna the man'. Karna? he is the man ^^
ThrouNouwCeat lmao. Arjuna sacrificed more. Karna was arrogant that's y he refused to play as a second fiddle to bhishma in the kurukshetra war. Arjuna's entire life was a sacrifice.
Karna was a archer in his past life... I dont know why he was made lancer.. But i must say he has the same moral and ethics from the real story and thats quite amazing👌👌
First and foremost. He was an archer. He had a bow named victory since he was fucking op with it and he had the brahmastra which was capable of destroying the universe according to the lore lol
@@indrason6974 yup he is in Hindu mythology, he became my favourite character in Hindu mythology when I heared story of him from my gradma. (Btw I am a Indian)
Actually, " VASAVI SHAKTI " was a weapon that wouldn't miss a target which was targeted... According to MAHABHARATA , If Karna aimed this weapon at even a God , without a fail it will hit and KILL him . No amount of Defense could block it .... THE ULTIMATE OFFENSIVE WEAPON... Just like His " KAVACH" THE armour , Ultimate defense ... In the end they needed PLOT ARMOR to defeat Him...🤦
I really loved the way Karna's lore has been explained. But, there were a couple of things that were slightly different in the original mythology. All the characters mentioned in the video are in the Hindu epic - 'Mahabharat' which is also in the religious book of Hinduism, 'Bhagvada Gita'. The major difference were basically that the other 5 princes, the 'Pandavas' were the heroes of the Mahabharat. The other side of 100 princes or the 'Kauravas', were the villains of story (illustrated by various instances in the story). Karna was the secret prince, and the oldest brother to the other 5 princes but nobody knew about him, except his mother. Karna was a wild card who was the most powerful warrior, with a indestructible golden armor and a very noble spirit. Due to his lower class upbringing, he had the compassion of a common man but the honor and nobility of a king. Unfortunately, he had a slight disappointment or a grudge against the Pandavas, and the situation turned out to be such that he chose the Kauravas side due to his rivalry against 'Arjuna' (as mentioned in the video). He died in the war where the pandavas had to trick him into removing his armor and he had a bittersweet ending to his story. He was the white prince on the wrong side. I don't mean to disregard this video in any way, but just provide an ideological correction to the lore so that his character and his motivation can be correctly understood by the fans. I really appreciate AniNews for making this amazing video and taking his time into looking into 330 millions gods! Can't wait for more lore videos man! :D
Karna with his armor and earrings is invincible. At that level, Arjuna was only able to tie with him, maybe get killed after getting tired. Arjuna almost died to Nagastra shot by karna and was saved by Krishna. Other than that incident it would be hard fight between the two. I love karna too but without armor and earrings, he only has 50 50 chances of win against Arjuna.
Because of all his dialogues and actions during the last few episodes he reserved his place as third best servant, right after Broskander and Cu Chulainn for me.
I think there is a lot of things you get wrong about Karna's story, (because I think you read it from the fate wiki). And I guess it's because mahabharata is really long a few corrections, 1)Kunti wasn't married when karna was born, she actually used the spell out of curiosity and ended up with Karna. Since she was a princess this would have caused a scandal so she floated him in water which is indeed Fucked up. 2) Duryodhan the guy who supported karna by making him a king, was the cousin of Pandavas, they all belonged to the same Kuru Family. 3) Karna was a overall a good guy but he also did a few shitty things, he was one of the people who was basically laughing and insulting Arjuna's wife as she was being stripped naked in Kuru court (Also called her a whore when this was happening- This happened after he was made a king). He also helped in killing Arjuna's son Abhimanyu dishonorably by ganging up on him with multiple warriors which was against the rules of combat. 4) Most importantly even he realized he was bound to die as he was supporting Duryodhan because of his friendship but Duryodhan was basically evil incarnate. It's got to do a lot with Krishna(8th Avatar of Vishnu and probably the coolest one). So even though Krishna didn't fight directly he was making sure Arjuna wins. Karna, Drona and Bhisma all very powerful warriors and basically good guys were standing in the way, so Krishna orchestrated scenarios where they all died :D. He basically teaches good & great people in service of evil will not be able to stop destruction of evil such is the law of nature.
Draupadi's vastraharan is kind of close to getting ruled out as an interpolation now. Only the critical editions of the Mahabharata haven't adapted it yet. I'm guessing they will in the next edition. But regardless of whether or not that happened, she did marry 5 brothers because of Kunti's little mistake. Sure, commitments were the shit back in the days but even that story of justification is losing weight these days (moral obligation/ possible interpolation). The real mark on Karna's character will be left by his actions against Abhimanyu at the behest of his closest friend.
It's the second parva in original Sanskrit text of Mahabharata. I doubt that is an interpolation. It's just revisionist scholars, authors who want to put there view on the story (which is fine), and some uber Karna Fans. Also, It fits directly into the story of Draupadi being born as Yagyaseni to take revenge for Drupad. And marrying 5 brothers doesn't make her a whore. Karna had flaws, Cheer-haran was one of them, and the death of Abhimanyu was another, But most importantly both happened after he got into the company of Duryodhan. As they say, your hands get black when you deal with coal. Even surya-putra lost his "Yash" because of bad company.
1.Well the reason why he laughs during Draupadi’s vastarabarna was cuz she shamed him during her svayamvar infront of everyone saying “I won’t marry some one of such lowly caste” even though he was the most skilled among all of them. 2. It was Arjuna who killed Karna’s son Vrasasena which led him to kill Abhimanyu. But he did it out of respect of the young warrior as the Kauravas wanted him to suffer a long time. It’s true he has a shade of grey with him that’s his character. But that doesn’t rule out all of the deeds he has done and accomplished while being mocked by pandava’s and others ever since his birth. There is a reason why he is called “Daan veer karna” or “The hero of charity”
1. She said she won't marry a son of a Charioteer. She also lost all 5 Uppandavs she had borne. Lost her kingdom, was humiliated by Duryodhan, got kidnapped by Jaydrath, fell first during Mahaprasthanika Parva, etc. But Karna insulting a helpless woman was the worst spot on his "Yash". 2. Arjun killed Vrassena in one on one combat. Abhimanyu was killed by Duryodhan's son when he was unconscious by breaking his skull. Karna and Drona were the one who ganged up on Abhimanyu with multiple warriors which eventually led to Abhimanyu being unarmed and unconscious. This was against the rule of combat. Killing Vrassena didn't involve any rule breaking. As for Grey yes he did some mistakes, but was overall a good character, the important thing is that all his bad deeds happened after he befriended Duryodhan. it was Duryodhana's company whether during Cheer-haran or during Mahabharata that led to Karna's mistakes. Which teaches you that even the best people lose their "Yash" in friendship with evil. I just have a problem with his description showing Pandavas and Arjun as Jerks which they were not.
You have to realise how much shit Karna had gone through and understand his resentment. The stripping incident is just as Tyrant Harden says, although he probably would've stepped in if the situation would've gotten out of hand. The ganging up incident is because Abhimanyu wasn't technically unarmed(chariot wheel) and had the audacity to enter the Chakravyuha by himself which is basically asking to be attacked from all sides(the purpose of chakravyuha tactics). As a member of the "evil" side, it is expected that the Kaurava army members might not behave in the best of ways or obey war and chivalry rules. As the "good" side, the Pandava army were supposed to be righteous and morally correct at all times, which they were not(incidents with Bhishma, Dronacharya, Eklavya, Karna, the King of Kamrupa, Duhshashana and Duryodhana's deaths, infidelity, trickery etc.). Basically, the purpose of the Mahabharata was to show that no one is truly good, or truly evil, be it heroes, villains, asuras(demons) or even the gods. Also, Krishna isn't cool, at all. He is pretty much responsible for the war. His personal squabbles with the Kaurava allies(like Jarasandha) spilled over to his friend circle(the Pandavas and their allies) and lead to increasing tensions between the two factions. His playboy attitude also contributed as he was immensely unfaithful and had a huge harem of girls to play around with. He also stole Rukmini from her fiance who happened to be a member of the Kaurava faction. As the avatar of Vishnu, he could have single-handedly stopped the war but his side-taking lead to immense blood being spilled of the same family. He had every means to do so as well as he was the mediator sent by the Pandavas to stop the war from breaking out. Instead of mediating properly, he insulted Duryodhana by refusing to dine with him and didn't put much effort in the peace-making process, leading to talks breaking down and war breaking out. Krishna, Narada and Indra are the biggest a-holes in Indian mythology. Krishna's manipulative and nihilistic nature was taken into account while making him one of the main villains of Shin Megami Tensei 4.
It took two servants and two rank A+ noble phantasms (one boosted by a command spell the other an absolute defense). That says all you need to know about his strength.
woahh that was a really nice explanation of Karna. I can only imagine how much you had to dig through Hindu Mythology for this video! Keep it up man✌✌✌
I've never seen Fate Apocrypha, only Fate/Zero & Fate/Stay Night: UBW but wow does Karna sound like a great character! Fate Apocrypha has just jumped to the top of my watchlist UPDATE: THIS ANIME IS GREAT! Great story, great music, great characters, definitely my favorite Fate series right now by far and the 1st two were also really good. Not surprisingly Karna was easily my favorite character of the whole series. But, I personally believe anyone who's ever interested in Fate Apocrypha should watch Fate/Stay Night: UBW & Fate/Zero 1st in order to appreciate Fate Apocrypha in all its glory.
Corrections: Karna is originally an archer not a lancer Kauravas father were king dhritarashtra not hastinapura. Hastinapura was the kingdoms name. Indra didn't steal karna's armour but begged for it. And as a king it was his dharma to show charity to sages. When indra saw his selflessness and got impressed, he gave him the "astra" not lance as a gift. Kunti actually had to give up on him because she had Him 'before' she got married. Facts: Karna got cursed from his own teacher for lying to him about his caste. Karna was actually a tad bit better fighter than arjuna at archery. BTW, video was amazing, I enjoyed it. Keep making videos like this.
In vedas says there are 33 cores gods. In hindi language 1 core means 10 million. But Sanskrit core means types. If you translate it in English 33 cores mean 33 types of god not 330 millions. So normal people who don't know Sanskrit they take it wrong away.
In the Hindu epic Mahabharata, 'Karn'(and yes it is correctly pronounced as Karn and not Karna) is the noblest and most powerful warrior only second to his uncle Bhishma. He was literally invincible in every way with the armor. He was betrayed, mocked, abandoned and tricked by his own mother, brothers, sister, his teacher (who was called 'Dronacharya' and is the one who cursed him) and even by the gods. Yet he never held any contempt in his heart. TOTAL RESPECT!
Well, that noble phantasm Astolfo was given made a planet that was able to block the Sun that Karna summoned. It was a 1shot deal though since it was only borrowed.
i like karna from the anime. summoned him in fgo i was like cool. played further into the fgo story he is my fav servant, i see why hes call the god of generosity. hes sooo loyal
Karna and Arjuna are the real Sasuke and Naruto both being incarnation of Indra and Ashura and here Arjuna being son of Indra and Karna being a Asura himself in past life..... 🤣🤣
Dude great job explaining karna. I agree there is many loop holes in this explanation but u did a really grt job in summarizing it keep it up I really like ur content
Well in Mahabharata, Karna lost many times to Satyaki, Bheema and even 16year old son of Arjuna aka Abhimanyu fair and square. Arjuna defeated him many times in many encounters since their childhood. It's always sad to see evil characters treated as heroes and real heroes as villains who was rapist, didn't respect women and had to kill a 16yr old by deceit.
Karna was not defeated by them.Karna had spared 4 pandava due to his promise to His mother.and Bhima,Satyaki were saved when many other interfered to do their rescue or they turned and ran away in opposite directions on seeing Karna , Bhim hide under elephant corpse when followed by Karna.
@Jai Shree Ram Ashwathama was able to overpower only when Arjuna was fighting mildly. When Krishna asked him to fight with his full strength Ashwatthama was defeated in seconds. Arjuna always defeated Karna. There is no instance when Karna defeated Arjuna. LoL. Stop believing in FB posts and TV serials.
@Jai Shree Ram Karna was ready to give his wives to whoever found Pandavas during their incognito. A perfect man for ya😂. Also he sold women to kings of other kingdom. I hope you marry your sister with someone like that.
Yes , and here we are talking about lancer karna ( remember that lancer is karna's weakest class ) ... if we are talking about archer karna...R.I.P gilgamesh
@@zackfair8407 true though. in the epic karna is known for his generosity, sacrifice, and archery. no one in the story had lived a life as bad as karna himself.
@@praveenloganathan7495 exactly . Especially his generosity. He give away his kavacha e kundala , and refuse to use even in the end his vijaya bow . If he want , karna could kill arjuna every day , every time he wants.
@@zackfair8407 lol no. In Virata war he badly lost against not only Arjuna but Gandharvas as well. Without Vasavi Shakti and Vijaya he is a tier below Arjuna. But with those weapons he is slightly stronger than Arjuna. Again Arjuna will be stronger if he has Pashupata astra and if Krishna becomes his chariot driver.
@@uselesshero.official since when krishna is arjuna's weapon ahahahahah . And no pashupata is just shit compared to the vijaya bow which granted victory to its owner REGARDLESS the situation . Vasavi shakti is just a shitty weapon for karna since he already own the vijaya bow ; if karna had kavacha and kundala arjuna would not ever be able to even damage karna . Arjuna was extremely lucky to not face directly karna , or he would be dead in less than 5 seconds ahahahaha ; oh and also even without these weapon karna was stated to be AT THE VERY LEAST on par with arjuna in the ability with the bow .
Kuinti got the power and wanted to test it out so she did spell and got the son from the sun god. But the thing that she asked for the child before she got married so she had send him in a basket on the river and was later on picked up by the servants. He was the world best archer and had the final fight with Arjuna we can talk about more any lmk.
OK for any body who is thinking Arjuna & the pandavas are an asshole and that kunti had karna after she was married Well many of the things aninewz just told are plain wrong I am an Indian and I love both Karna and Arjuna because I grew up while my grandmother told me the Mahabharata So here I will correct some of the main points that he messed up 1. Kunti didn't have karna after she was married- kunti was a very good person and so she one day helped (before marriage) and the sage(who was actually a god) gave her a spell that allowed her to have a child from whichever god she used the spell with the sun god as a catalyst which gave her karna But cause kunti at the moment was not married a child would cause problems for her parents (OK again she swept karna in river for her families status and not herself)so she did what she did 2.Arjuna was no asshole-the one who tried to steal the armor of karna was not Arjuna but Indra. Indra is king of gods and is represented as a scardy king who dosent want anybody to steal his throne, simply put he is an asshole But kinda good because he is a god nonetheless, Also while Arjuna a rivalrie against karna he didn't hate at first he was kinda disappointed at the fact that karna was a lower class who shouldnt hold weapons because in India there was a cast system and Karnas was from a cast that shouldnt hold any weapons It was more of a kind of care Though he started hating karna when karna killed Arjuna's son(yeah he had a son p.s.-for all u Arjuna fangirls Arjuna and all other pandavas married a single women draupadi(I forgot how her name was spelled) I kinda want her to be summoned as a berserker in fgo) 3.krauvas and pandavas were cousins, their fathers were brothers and they known as kauravas and pandavas because there fathers kaurav(I think I forgot his name) and pandu respectively 4.duryodhna the boy who took in karna in his family he took karna in because he wanted to use his skills (he was an open minded asshole) Also he made karna a king to pissoff pandavas P.s. duryodhna's name means an evil worrier ( I want duryodhna to be summoned as a girl in fgo because I kinda want it, she would probably be a berserker and would be pretty much evil Achilles but her Achilles heel would be her butt because wtf not thats actually true though duryodhnas weakness after he got immortal was his butt)
Shayaan Khusro For someone whose legend is that the side he fights form always looses and the fact that he is practically unknown (I just Wikipediaed him) also there are heck lot of archers that can come from India ex.jhasi ki rani, abhimamyu and RAMA(give us adult version typemoon)
Dmejd Yeah Like he Left out the Part Where he Had to Seduce his Naked Cousin in Crossdress again because the Cousin was Going on a Naked Killing Rampage Because a GirL/Angelica Rejected Him, The Cousin also asked him to keep wearing it Like In the Hall and Stuff.. . *It Was Awesome to Read*
I'm an Indian and my dad always talk about Mahabarthagita epic. I was not really interested about it until watching this anime. Makes me relate to something to an epic that even reading a boring epic with no pictures but turn it in an anime style in my brain.
The only reason why other more powerful Indian mythological characters weren't added was that they would be too strong for the anime or they looked too old. Wonder how Drona would have looked XD.
I Think about Armour He Was Most Humble Guy He was also Known as " Danvir Karna " Means He Helped Many Lot Of Guys Because of Past He Knew How he Lived And his father ( God Father Sun) Warned Him That on Next Day of Battle Someone will Come and He will Request your armour and INDRA Came as Bhramhin ( Persist) So he can't denay his Request As Armour was Part of his Body it was hard as Removing His Skin Still he Gave away By That Indra Knew how great Karna is So He gave The indrastra to him .
One correction: Kunti(Karna's mother) had only 6 specific mantra to invoke 6 deities. And there are not 330 million God's, only 33 types. This is due to mistranslation of word koti- which means both 'crore' and 'type'.
Me who had heard this story and watched shows on this story more than a 100 time while growing up,still listening the whole story just to be glad to hear this in an other language
