Trying to Guess Fate's INSANE Characters 

And yet it's still glorious.

Totally worth it though

No. No it’s not.

I beg to differ. This is great!

I disagree this was the greatest idea ever

Yeah, he was the last one i thought he would get it on his first try

He's officially Kono hito de nashi.

​@@raphaelpulmano2212Edison da shinga!!

I mean it's not really that hard if you really pay attention to the design. Honestly, it's arguably one of the most blatant designs in Fate history. Like, once you look past the lion part of him and see the lightbulbs on his shoulders, that's it. GG. 😂

​@colt1903 I mean when you put it like that yeah. It's a weird design, but it's so specific there's not much else it could be

If I can't scare people with craziness and psychological tactics then I shall disturb and disgust people with craziness and psychological tactics

There is also the fact that historically, Blackbeard wasn't a ruthless monster or a bloodthirsty savage, he saw piracy as a business, focusing on intimidation tactics and purposefully leaving people alive in order to increase his fame and reputation. The reason he is the face of piracy is because he was that good at marketing himself.

@@imatiu yeah he is a smart man who knows how do psychological warfare well also I heard somewhere he also used marijuana fumes to make his enimies trip causeing Pwarfare to be more effective i don't remember where i heard it but if it is true the man knew alot of stuff and was smart as hell

Yesss

Haha, what a story, Fate

Lmao

And now Nico's Fate is sealed.

​@@SeiyaTempest The door is tha- that way!

Is that a The Room reference? 😂

The whole book is about this noble old man going on adventures with his trusty "squire" until he finally returns back to his state and, being old and frail, falls ill and must come to terms with reality. It's a sad conclusion, but one that he faces on his deathbed as he draws his final breath. Don Quijote in Fate/Grand Order actually becomes weaker, lore wise, at least, the more he ascends, as his ascensions represent him opening the curtains of reality, but this isn't depicted as a bad thing. The game treats it as something good. By rejecting his fantasy, he can achieve many more wonderful things. I like this interpretation of the character. They did him justice.

​@@carlwheezer1640 the book itself actually supports Fate's idea of the character as within that book is a whole clown car of interesting characters and soap operas and has the idea that Reality can be just as if not more interesting than reality. So his hourse becoming more fantastical while his armor gets duller could represent Don discarding his rampant fantasies and realizing the wonders of reality

"Don Quixote" Me: *YA-HOO intensifies*

​@@AquaticLotus7552 Sacho also has an ability to force the reality of the time Don Quixote was set in so he can fight in an even playing field against any enemies Too bad their duo NP only shows Don's NP

LIMBUS COMPANY!!!!!!!!

Didn´t she originally turn him into a bear because of flirting? Or was that another dude?

@@johnyshadow In myth, there was one guy she turned into a bear-constellation because he was about to kill a bear, iirc... who was also his mom, cursed to look like a bear... and she was also made into a constellation. Yeah, this, to the Greek, was the origin of Ursa Minor and Ursa Major. So... yeah, turning their lover into a bear so they won't flirt is totally something the Greek gods would do as well... Orion was also turned into a constellation, but as himself, and that after Artemis herself accidentaly shot him due to her brother tricking her (Artemis had a vow of chastity going and Apollo didn't want Orion to ruin that, so he arranged his death).

Also, very much opposite to weak, being a former Grand Archer and actual equal to Artemis.

Also, the hijacking was done through the fact Artemis gave up her godhood

@@livingreverie5951she didn’t give it up, more like gods can’t be summoned normally so she had to break off a piece of her power to be with Orion. She’s too powerful otherwise.

Gigguk Reference?

⁠@@rikulrevontheus800”Imagine history, but horny”

@@rikulrevontheus800here’s just hope he doesn’t blow all his money on Astolfo when he’s not even featured on the banner.

@@rikulrevontheus800 Fate reference. "That's hell you're walking into" is a fameous quote from the series.

is that fucking kagetora byleth

Ooooh I didn't know this, neat!

The Bullshit giveth and the bullshit taketh away

Probably because Tesla was not American, that was bad hint.

@@Mastercio 100% this, I guessed Tesla before that hint and was then like "ok American, so can't be Tesla".

EXACTLY. Serbian, born in modern day Croatia, which was back then Austria-Hungary It's complicated xD @@Ishlacorrin

Well, the hints were bad. Especially the first one.

Shouldn’t he be at his best as Ruler?

@@zigslotheonRulers are typically individuals known for being rather selfless and impartial, at least enough so in regards to the Holy Grail War (hence why Gilgamesh still fit for the latter point, since he had utterly no interest in the Grail itself and no stake in who the winner actually was). This doesn’t tend to fit Caesar himself, or most historical rulers, really, especially if they had lofty ambitions. The class is also typically associated with Saints and Christianity, although to be fair, this aspect was a bit muddled over time as more were introduced.

​@@zigslotheonthe ruler class is "misleading" since the first thought you'd have are people who ruled over a group of people(kings, leaders and such) but in reality the ruler class are people that are impartial, unbiased and neutral so that they can enforce the rules.

​@zigslotheon as already explained, Ruler isn't a good fit, but most military commanders fall into the Rider-class

Fat version we saw in game is after his prime. They are talking about this in one of Halloween even that Cleopatra shocking after found him became a fatty. And he explained that’s long time ago and he can’t help that he’s look good as when he dating her anymore.

It's also because his sword "Crocea Mors" was made famous for its use by Nennius of Britain, a folk hero who was "present" and "repelled" the Roman Invasion of the British Isles. However, it's still "Julius Caesar's Sword", so he "qualifies" as its owner. So his Saber Saint Graph is drawing upon the common perception of "the Decadence of Rome" to "stabalize" Caesar as a Saber

I thought the rider Julius Caesar was fanmade

@@amateurwriter0223 Caesar complains that Saber is not his best class, Rider is. However he has not appeared officially, so the idea that Rider Caesar would be fit is just a (good) guess.

​@@mskelter It has more to do with the fact that Cleopatra mentions that he was fit more than once

His Saber-form also seems to primarily draw from his time as a lawyer and his oratory skills, which is why he kinda evokes the image of a stereotypical "fat businessman".

Your pfp lmfao

its the prozd sketch where he has grandma guess smash bros characters

She's only the primary personality in specific ascensions.

@@casteanpreswyn7528 I know-the first and second. However, it’s still her body in the third, regardless.

he saw the axe and was like "Paul bunyan"

Just as fast as her Berserker NP!

They should be shown to a bunch of american and non american people and compare guess rates and speed.

I mean, after everything else.

And he hasn't even seen Pandora yet.

@@Cyclonestorm8 Pandora servant in FGO when?

​@@neilisawesome2333maybe when they do another Fate/Kaleid liner prisma illya collab.

@@neilisawesome2333 I'm rather astounded we don't have Pandora yet.

That's hell he walked into

Which they somehow got right

To think that already next year...well, I hope no alien robot that turns into a gun will get their hands on it.

NASA already gave news that Voyager's batteries are slowly dying

anyways fate can have living characters and their servant version, I mean it's kinda the whole point of UBW

They're still communicating with him as of today

Beo has lowest rank of Madness Enhancement coz he posses it's "Active" version which is Berserk at rank A. Being the originator of the word Berserker, he can freely switch his berserk state on and off at will, which is ofc miles better than normal ME that would sucks the master's mana dry or accidentally get slapped in the head😂

Berserkers kinda insane in different aspect, like having motherly instinct like Raikou or madly in love like Kiyohime. Beowulf kinda "battle junky" in some aspect

What about berserk jack?

Yes I love my space son so much ^^ I love all the details on his design like the golden disc, and how beautiful yet sad his noble phantasm is. Voyager is a precious servant and I can’t wait for his upgrades on the NA server. Also he’s just so adorable in his curiosity and lines with the master and other servants like wanting photos or trying new things!

*loud sobbing*

Iirc Voyager has that really awesome introduction that when Erice meets him in the water, she greeted him and he replied by saying Hello in every human language ever spoken because the Voyager has the golden record containing every human greeting in every language

Also insanely beautiful references, the little prince itself, his rose, the planets, the golden record. The fan comic of Gil, the oldest hero talking about him is just beautiful. "A Heroic Spirit that continues the idea of humanity, even if humanity doesn't"

the only reason he takes a form close to the Little Prince is because it is his master's favorite book.

Part of the reason why Voyager is summonable though is because he's a "Pioneer of the Stars", people (or in this case objects) who embody and/or performed huge leaps in regards to human civilization, like Francis Drake, being the first (named) captain to circumnavigate the world, Leonardo Da Vinci, embodying the geniuses of the Renaissance and the coming age of wisdom, Nikola Tesla, "taming" electricity and making it useable for humanity, even Neil Armstrong counts, for being the first person to set foot on extra-terrestrial ground. The reason that's important is because usually, people from after around WW1 don't have the "mystery" associated with them to enter the Throne of Heroes, mystery being the basis for all things magic in Fate and its associated works. The only ones who get an exception to that are Pioneers of the Stars and... those who enter the Throne through other means.

@@Justic_ But Voyager still isn't "dead" and the story he's in is set in the future.

@@littlekuribohimposte tbf, the "has to be dead" has NEVER been an actual qualifier for being summonable, it's only for actual historical people that's a rule for, and that for more real life reasons. The Throne exists outside of time, so as long as someone dies eventually to get registered in the Throne, them being dead at the moment or not doesn't matter. Major Spoilers below! After all, that's literally the plot of Unlimited Blade Work, despite Shirou still being alive, a future version of himself gets summoned. And it also happens in Strange Fake, Prelati literally summons him... her...? Himself, and while you could argue his original body is dead, her soul definitely isn't, and that's what the Throne of Heroes cares about after all. Even in Samurai Remnant, granted that's a bit more of a weird case, a slightly seperate category, Li Shuwen gets summoned... despite not even being born yet by the time Samurai Remnant is set! Granted, it is usually harder to summon someone from the future, because you generally need a catalyst, and of course it's hard to get your hands on a catalyst to summon someone from the future, without a catalyst you'd at best have a small chance to summon someone, based more on a Masters personality. But yeah, "being currently dead" is technically not a hard rule for a Heroic Spirit to get summoned.

@@Justic_ I thought you were going to spoil Merlin's summoning which are a crazier rule bending

​@@0Clewi0 when you really think about it, it was a pretty smart way of rule-bending in Merlin's part.

when someone in Fate is male its quite shocking

Which one? The only one I can think of is Rokuten Maoh-oooooo....I see what they did there....

The one that I heard say that irl, he likes to scare his enemy But he can't really do that with legendary heroes, so he instead act as creepy as possible in hopes everyone would be too disgusted to wanna be anywhere near him

@@mirzapramudya1580 I can see him doing that

Listen, Guda needs those absurd events after all the serious story.

​@@Cat_SidheWell starting from Guda 2 stories themselves has been pretty serious.

​@@markgilberk6248idk man, Nobunaga losing her head at the start of Guda6 and getting it replaced with a wooden sign was pretty funny

@@mirzapramudya1580 Yet the same event also featured the tragic backstory of an orphan that was raised to be an elite shrine maiden by some cult than had her entire village wiped out by an evil god mind-controlling her only friend, a man face the comrades he betrayed and trying to make ammends, and a genuinely touching story about acceptance in the form of a man and his divine dragon wife. FGO-events are just a rollercoaster of both comedy and serious moments. A far cry from the first event which was just "oh, someone stole our dumplings for the moon-viewing festival! Oh, would you look at that, it was a goddess of the moon"

​@@Justic_another example is Summer 4. The story is goofy until you get to the climax and Moriarty destroys Lancelot...with mere words

“How am I gonna link my SoundCloud, Grandma?!”

I’m pretty sure it was the largest, not one of the largest

@monkeywatch4916 I was playing it safe. Certainly the largest found so far, but they may find something to beat it. There are just so many species of ancient reptiles and dinosaurs we have not discovered yet

I thought in the book it was made clear that Jekyll was a tall, handsome man while Hyde was short, younger (looking?), ugly looking guy. Both looked so different there was no way anyone would believe on sight that they were one and the same.

Funny thing Nico mentions Hyde being a monster because his Assassin form has some of Hyde's abilities mixed in, so Jekyll himself can fight a bit while Hyde becomes a batshit crazy guy with gear. However if Jekyll is a Berserker, which he was summoned as in Fate Proto Fragments, his Jekyll form is still highly intelligent but is so weak he can pass on as a regular human that he cant be detected by a servant, but once he turns to Hyde he becomes some hyper regenerating werewolf that face tanked an Excalibur with absolutely no wounds.

He literally fucking deaged in the book...

​@@KeeperOfUntoldDreams Other way around. Jekyll is an older gentleman but Hyde is younger version of him.

@@RavenCloak13 But I did say Hyde was younger, didn't I?

Also technically not a genderbend, da vinci was a man and modified his spirit origin to be the mona lisa

Oh no. This might be my undoing.

...I don't think RU-vid will Extra.... Because.... You know....

@@darkerrex1442 CCC is the one that gets kind of sketchy. Extra is actually really chill besides a scene which is censored in the English relase

Sherlock's noble phantasm basically makes lets him solve any mystery, be it by truth or changing reality

Actually no, Fate’s pretty accurate. Blackbeard wasn’t that scary irl. He would rob people, but let them live under the condition that they spread those terrifying rumors about him. He wanted to get a reputation up to make robbing people easier. He was a sociopath, not a psychopath

​@@tornic531but that wouldn't really work against other servants, so he chooses a different way of having a terrifying reputation

@@_zeroman Yup, at least early on, his nerd/otaku behaviour was... mostly an act. To disgust people, but also to get them to lower their guard around him because "oh, he's just some otaku, he won't be an actual threat". He genuinely is a nerd though, at least nowadays, although iirc it's kinda unclear if he always had an actual genuine appretiation for these things, or if he just "took his act too far" and became a genuine nerd.

@@Justic_ Yeah he actually uses that feint in Okeanos if i'm correct to get one over on Jason, I do one day hope for a more 'serious/alter' version of Blackbeard/Teach though.

​@@Justic_dude actually likes it but actively uses the negative stereotype to his advantage, gotta respect that

Also with the goggles ones you can see the golden record

Truly one of the best design in FGO ever

I love it too, they represent similar concept, The Little Prince, childlike wonder and curiosity and Voyager, curiosity, both relating to the outer planet and both on a solitary journey

You could say she had to eat those bullets Im sorry, rest in peace

I'm hoping for the FGO anime, even though it skips a lot and goes to the good parts inmediately

I hope the next game he plays is the Fate Extra remake, I may be hoping but I think he might like it.

@@BlaxeFrost-X Honestly, with a few summaries to fill for context, the part the animes skip aren't really a big problem. Could also go for the manga-adaptions though, the one covering the odd-numbered chapters should be done with the 5th chapter, from what I recall seeing. The one covering even chapters was on hiatus for some time and is still just around the 2nd chapter, so that's a bit of a problem... But overall, I'm pretty sure both of them also fix some of the issues the early chapters had, so that's a plus.

​@@happykiwi8407 Extra Remake isn't a thing yet, they still stuck in development phase.

@tienmanhnguyen3422 ik hence why I Said "i hope"

Truly a capitalist x,D

And then there's Attila the Hun...

Let's not get into that right off the bat Ease him into it

no we are not talking about the moon

You be quiet about the moon!

​@@MozillaVulpixAt least we have a lore reason for the whole sword of mars thing

Not quite, it isnt that Hyde is a monster in that form but that Hyde, when using Dangerous Game when naturally summoned as a berserker becomes a werewolf like beast instead

That's how I understand it at least, I'm sorry if I'm wrong tho

@@CrowAkechi_The_Luminary Sorry but I don't get your point. We're basically saying the same thing, no? When J&H are summoned as a Berserker and Jekyll turns into Hyde, Hyde takes the form of a werewolf-looking creature.

I kinda hope some US presidents would show up as servants though, could be cool. Like Washington

@ladyholiday3863 Well, from mat books, we have confirmation of Washington and Lincoln's classes. Rider and Saber, respectively (Lincoln is Saber cause axe). But yeah, I'd like to actually see one someday and not just have Washington off screen to Medb.

Where did you get the ‘human Throne of Heroes turning things more humanoid’ bit from? Not all Servants are humaniod, such as Pale Rider, Humbaba, and Watcher from Strange Fake, or the usual form of Kijyo Koyo from the same event/source as Voyager. 99% of Servants are humanoid, because most non-humaniod things dont form enough of a legend of their own to become a Servant, i.e. Lobo, who is a Phantom Spirit. Voyager just took the form of the Little Prince for easier communication with his Master.

@NoxarBoi The Human Throne of Heroes is an actual lore thing that's been brought up mostly in context with Shuten actually, was mentioned in an event, though I forget which one (pretty sure its also been used in reference to Red Hare since the Horse didnt look like that at all in life and is confirmed not to actually be Lu Bu or have him mixed in there). But no, Voyager was SPECULATED to be The Little Prince in and out of the universe, but that was deemed incorrect. From what I remember of reading, Requiem, it's never stated he actually has them as a part of his Spirit Origin. But yes, Lobo is pure fiction in Fate/ unlike some others that are historical in Fate/'s world. Albeit he's mixed with the Invisible Man and the Headless Horseman, hence why his true name is Hessian-Lobo: he got a human with him so he himself does not change as he's sort of being used as a mount.. Koyo lorewise lived as her humanoid self but looked like a T-Rex since she got enamored by a skeleton of one she found. Watcher's true form, despite what the TM Wiki seems to imply, is confirmed NOT to be the giant whale. That's just Moby Dick as one of her many shadows. Humbaba is made of nearly 3,000 children souls and was made by the gods of Mesopotamia to be a "complete human being" in all tense and purposes: Humbaba is considered human despite being monstrous... Pale Rider isn't the one from the actual book of revelations but a conceptual servant of disease and sickness. He's a shadow that abstractly looks human shaped, riding the wind ,humanity, and the world itself. it's weird and inconsistent. I won't lie. A lot of this series is, since despite my ramblings I agree with you on some of these things but since it was mentioned we summon Servants from the Human Throne of Heroes, things that aren't humanoid take on semblance of the appearance of a human even if vaguely... it's why a space probe, an apple, an explosion, a city, and the concept of fairy tales take on human appearances with the very latter's case lore-wise specifically taking on the appearance of their Master as a child (well, when their memories of a certain character aren't popping up anyways).

There's just so much to love there

53:30 fun fact: the name of the moriarty is literally reichanboch. He is literally lugging around his own coffin as a multipurpose weapon. Another fun fact: the reason why moriarty is an archer servant is more so due to the fact that this particular summoning of him also have qualities of a man known as the Freeshooter the main character of a German opera whose power moriarty is using for a specific purpose in one of the stories of FGO Epic of Remnant.

Arjuna was a demigod (iirc) Arjuna Alter was a fusion of the entire indian pantheon Same with Kagetora and Kenshin (who's an avatar of Bishamonten)

Fairly certain Nobu came from GudaGuda, which is a different beast entirely. Still a gag series, but not the same as Learning with Manga.

Nobunaga came from GudaGuda, not LMW

I appreciated the Shadow Hearts:Covenant music for Anastasia, where she was actually a party member in that game.

Can't forget the supposed device that matched frequencies matter vibrated at, shaking a building

He also fell in love with a pigeon

So funny thing, we did show off not only the bartender outfit, but also Young Moriarty. They were just cut in editing for some reason

She was the bonus round cause me and Gill (who’s australian) were arguing over how well known Paul was. I told him every American Knows Bunyan, he insisted it wasn’t well known. So I snuck her in as a bonus round to spite him

@@tornic531 Good choice! I'm still surprised that Nico got it that fast though. Paul feels like a good starter one, like 2nd or 3rd.

The genderbend thing is unfortunately incorrect, from what I understand, Don himself is Don Quixote and Sancho combined, then the girl is simply the waitress who he called princess mixed with his horse

Oh...oh I know what you mean. Yeah well...the comment would be flipping and dipping. But yeah I wouldn't want the rep to be..blown out of portion.

When I made the list it was under with the intention of being ones Nico is likely to be able to figure out, and doesn’t spoil other games. I’ve known Nico long enough to have a good tell on his knowledge set

The well-known "sussy" Servants are from official installments that would almost certainly be spoilers.

Don't even know what those sussy servants are

Several of the "sussy" characters I can think of are OCs like the Sakura 5 and The Nun. So making Nico guess them would be a little unfair.

That was the idea when I made the list yeah, to avoid other spoilers

@@tornic531 Good job!

@@tornic531good job, definitely the best quiz ever made

@@tornic531 tbf, I feel there are _some_ "spoilers" that would've been okay. Like, specifically Servants whose identity isn't much of a secret even in the story they originally appeared in, pretty sure Robin Hood would've been one of those, and I think many of the Servants in Apocrypha also reveal their true name very early on, I think there's a scene where the entire Black Faction just reveals their True Names to each other, except for Saber because his Master blocks him, and even then, I don't think it takes that long after. Jeanne also pretty much just throws her name right out there. Granted I'd still consider Saber of Reds identity a big spoiler even though it's also quite early on, but that's mostly due to ties to other stories in the Franchise.

Yeah. Right before that, he played a town theme from Shadow Hearts Covenant for Anastasia, which works because you actually had her as a party member in that game.
