Sword of Promised Victory ~ Yakusokusareta Shouri no Tsurugi -Kenji Kawai ver.- 

" Why does she have that sword? That golden sword is the property of the well known king of knights. I try to think how she ended up with the sword, and I notice that I'm trying to avoid the simplest of the answers. …There's no need for complicated guesses. That sword has always been hers. That's why her true name is easy to figure out. I don't know what kind of mistake was made, but there's only one person she can be if she has that holy sword. "

Surely Deen's Adaptation didn't make justice to this route but this ost is just glorious

Saber's reaction after seeing Shirou's browser history about her, Rin, Sakura and Rider Medusa

Saber discovered DxD Excalibur. She is not impressed and will show everyone what the one and only real true Excalibur can do as the World's Last Phantasm that crystallizes the prayers, hopes, and dreams of Humanity

i love that this theme has been a constant throughout most of the series' its great i love those little ties

I empathize so much with the pic, she looks me when it’s one o’clock but I still have a whole paper to write

Not quite, Excalibur is the physical crystallization of Arturia's ideals and also dubbed as "The crystallization of the prayer named 'glory'".

Even in this epic scene, there's an ahoge.

1:38 ... pure epicness

@idunnononame I just wasn't sure what you were referring to. As for the name, "Sword of Promised Victory" is the translation used for the original version of the song in the Fate/stay night visual novel. However, if you were to translate it directly, it would be "Promised Victory's Sword".

Holy shit why was this song so hard to find? They literally use it as her np theme in fgo

@SparkServant There's a damn good reason that s/he had the sword thrown back into the lake when s/he died.

This one had two if you count Gilgamesh's Enuma Elish.

This kinda sounds like a KH boss theme.

0:56 reminded me of Exaliber/Zero.

So what do you guys prefer? the anime or visual novel theme?

wow... this kicks ass... Really different from the VN though, where did you get this?

Yes

God I wish the part at 00:55 was it's own track..

Well, the whole song is just a remix of the same song from the visual novel, so that's all there was to work with in the first place.

Saber Vs Fake Assassin lmaoooo

FSN version> Zero version, nuff said.

@areyoutheir Well, you gotta admit that one Excalibur blast IS pretty easy...

Well how else do you think they conquered near 1/4 of all land the world?

hmm... well the base track is from the VN, I noticed they tried to incorporate stuff from the VN into the anime.

Have you tasted the Fate/Zero version's glory?

Every anime needs an obligatory sword laz0r

This is sheer awesome. May I have a vorbis .ogg file of this video? XD

@madmaxmadog As in "emotionally? or as in quality? In any case, neither of those fit. Nothing this good can be labeled as anything but epic.

does any one other than me notice the refrain sounds like that of the kingdom hearts battle theim

Some how give me trans am vibes??

She looks like she caught shirou doing something inapropriate and is about to give him the good news.

"Some" are wrong. The legend of King Arthur actually has a part where Excalibur's shine alone burns the opposing army. That is the basis of this Noble Phantasm. Furthermore, Hollow Ataraxia depicts it in a similar manner as well. So the answer to the original question is "Yes", the King of England could indeed fire (and had actually done so) laz0rs against invading armies. However, considering the amount of prana necessary for the activation, it couldn't be done frequently.

When I heard her say "EX...CALIBAAAAAA!!!" for the first time, I was literally blown away. And she wasn't even using it against me!

Her sword shines, a dream that all warriors scattered in battle, past, present, and future, hold and mournfully exalt as their final moments approach. She carries their will as her pride, bidding them to remain steadfast in their loyalty.

Imo provides the perfect ambiance for the scenes it is used in. A rhythmic and "channeled" feel to it - perfect for when she is focusing power before the strike, and even after - when in a contest of wills against something such as EA's divide.

0:55 was so fantastic. I could feel the development of the music and the build up of Excaliburs first reveal in Fate stay night.

2 years late to answer this but I'll do it anyways. King Arthur once blinded an entire army with the light refracted off of his sword. Translate this into anime terms, and you get BIG FUCKING LAZ0RS!!!

If I remember correctly, the picture is from when Saber is about to unleash Excalibur against Rider in the original FSN.

Kinda frustrating....that the one song that I cant get out of my head when it comes to Deen/Stay Night is this song. Everytime I think of Deen/Stay Night, I think of this particular version, in particular the scene vs Bellerophon.

you know it's funny. first time i saw fate/stay night i was trying friggin hard to figure out which heroic spirit is saber and just couldn't figure it out. then she used excalibur and i was like "oh my god, she's king arthur". and here is the thing, i was annoyed at myself, cause it was so freaking obvious and i just didn't see it and i know i would have figure it out in an instant if she was a guy, but i just kept thinking about which historical/legendary *heroine* i know of matches saber >_

Rider: Don't worry I got an A+ noble phantasm, I got this... wait why do I hear boss music

It was at this very moment that Raider knew..........She fucked up.

the only one and original Sword of Promised Victory

Well, given the description of Caster (Fate/Zero) on being the receiving end of Excalibuy, it seems that it is an honour to actually see the great beam of light, and an even greater one to be sliced completely apart by it.

Saber's facial expression...so damn APPEALLING!!!!!!!!😚😚😚😍😍

Sounds more.... Sonic-ish (yup, this reminds me the Opening theme from Sonic Unleashed)

Saber catches me watching her shower Saber: ..... 0:00

Am I the only one that notice how Saber's expression is like, "I dont give a fuck..."

Gilgamesh sure wasn't. Heracles sure wasn't. Medusa sure wasn't. She was BORN with the prana of a dragon and possessed Excalibur in life. It's not like the Grail War was the first time she ever used the ability, that's stupid. How do you think she became a hero in the first place? It's known that Merlin granted her the "factor of the dragon" and that she has a magical core surpassing the circuits of any magus. True, Servanthood is a boost, but it doesn't grant abilities they didn't have.

Saber find out shirou doing something inapropriate with Tohsaka-chan and prepare to use excalibur on tohsaka.

ステイナイトはbgmまじでいいよなー

Now, Behold! Excalibur!!!

Someone unleashed Rhongomyniad at Olympus

When HF's Shirou traces excalibur and dies, and his dead body launch excaliblast and drstroy the grial.

Simply, best adaptation ever.

That saber is mad

Are you telling me the REAL King Arthur became a Servant? :/ This is obviously within the context of the Nasuverse, where the "real" King Arthur in life was a woman and yes, had power. Gilgamesh, Heracles and Medusa aren't just myths in the Nasuverse. For that matter, Gilgamesh (if not his story) was most likely a real person. King Arthur may have been, but it's really not clear.

I wasn't replying to the original joke comment, I was replying to YOU. You said the SERVANT was a normal person in life and gained power becoming a Servant. If you're talking about Servants you're clearly talking Nasuverse, not real life. And within the Nasuverse, yes, the King of England could fire laz0rs at an invading army.

You don't understand that the servant are just normal people human in their life, but when they became servant they gain power.

@SparkServant 'No' is more of a spoken apostrophe than the Japanese word for "of". Therefore it'd be: Promised Victory's Sword

Oddly enough, I'm picturing an Armored Core/Code Geass style Humongous Mecha soloing the Damocles, the Black Knights, AND Suzaku right now...AND IT IS AWESOME!

*Lyrics* |Zero version Sosti ola adora Kantia tasa Idia santiri asa Madia dita Kastiya ola Arlita iya Idia dita Alita lia

@AgaresOaks It "could" carry extra baggage, but it doesn't in this case. Remember, the English language is very context-heavy, that is a lot of things are not literal. It's like calling the Bible the "Lord's Book". It's not literally written by him, and therefore it'd be more accurate to say the "Book of the Lord", but nonetheless people still call it the "Lord's Book".

Always a pleasure

@idunnononame Different from what? Unlike Twitter, RU-vid doesn't link replies back to the original comment for reference...

@nintendomaniac64 How is the song title given different from what you said? (other than your given title possibly not being very elegant English) The whole discussion is directly above my comment, and was one you took part in, so I didn't think I needed to do a text dump of it...

don't be a smartass !!! XD

@AgaresOaks Regarding the "literal words of god", what I means was that doesn't make the book itself (not the content) written by him, it was written by whoever the publishing company is.

Best all

You replied to a jokey comment with an unwarranted correction, so you brought it on yourself dude.

@dragonbb001 And would an inverted "of" not be the same as an " 's "? Using "Zelda no Densetsu" (Legend of Zelda) as an example, would it not be correct to say that "Zelda's Legend" has the same meaning that "Legend of Zelda" has?

@Blueterran5 it's from the anime. You didn't read the video description did you? :P

I meant the real life version of King Arthur.... Or are you saying that the REAL King Arthur had power.... Gilgamesh is a myth so is Heracles and Medusa.

Oh, god Why did I bother replying. Did you even read the original comment I replied to..?

@nintendomaniac64 how is this different?? (other than make the name sound worse)

i don't know why but this version seems sadder then the VN one :|

and... no. I didn't read the video description lol.

@nintendomaniac64 that doesnt exactly roll of the tongue

Visual novel. Though I have to say, Yuki Kajura's version of it for fate zero blows both of them away.

listen to me.

Saber looks like she could use some sleep

sabre looks bored

prefer this than Kajiura ver.

with excalibur of course :P

And Ea is a slap to the idealist.

No offense to kendo Kawasaki but yuki kajiura’s version is better

I just realized that Fate Zero had a revamped version of this after rewatching Stay Night

So ... um ... rhetorical question here. What would happen if she and Saber Proto (male version) got summoned to the same Grail War?

It's not as good as Fate/Zero's, but still one of the best tracks.

@SparkServant Only in the anime depiction (and consequently, further adaptation)... due to limited imagination of the animators (when something needs to be powerful with long reach, make it KAMEHAMEHA!!!) In the VN, it was never really explained, it incinerated Rider from the sky,leaving only trail of golden lights from the sword. Some speculated that Excalibur is a magical sword which when the name is called brought forward a promised victory, bend space to reach enemy no matter how far.
