History Characters / FateSamuraiRemnantServants

* BloodKnight: Musashi lives to fight other swordsmen, constantly trying to provoke fights with others to hone her skills against.

* MasterOfAll: Though much of what she's capable of can be chalked up to her being a Servant, her kit nonetheless shows the tremendous gap in her and Iori's expertise with Niten Ichiryu. Without needing to formally switch among them, she can use Fire Stance strikes at full health, Void Stance slashes at low health, Wind Stance rushes from across the battlefield without needing to spend magical energy, successive Water Stance radial swings, and her Earth Stance blows are so strong that they can cause foes to stagger just by being near them. Iori would have no hope of defeating Musashi with his developing style alone. [[spoiler:So he doesn't.]]
* MasterSwordsman: Musashi's claim to fame is being the greatest swordsman in the history of Japan. Having perfected her technique and reached "Emptiness" during the events of the Shimousa in ''VideoGame/FateGrandOrder'', she's nearly unparalleled in a contest of skill between swordsmen. The only one who can claim to be her equal is her rival, Kojiro.

Servants are the magical familiars summoned by the seven Masters to fight on their behalf in the Waxing Moon Ritual. They are familiars are each a fragment of "Heroic Spirits", legendary figures whose feats in history and myth enshrined them in the Throne of Heroes, a location outside of time and space where these figures' souls reside. Responding to the wishes of their Masters and their own wishes for the Waxing Moon, these Servants are sorted into one of seven classes based on their deeds in life: Saber, Lancer, Archer, Rider, Caster, Assassin, and Berserker.

* BadGuysDoTheDirtyWork: [[spoiler:During the confrontation with Tsuchimikado, Iori, Saber, and Yoshinaka are preparing to confront Caster's master to end his ambitious plans, but in the midst of the dialogue between the two parties, Chiemon shows up unexpectedly and has Lancer do [[WhyDontYouJustShootHim what they should of done while he is monologuing]] and stab him, killing him on the spot and [[SpannerInTheWorks derailing]] the whole Ritual as Tsuchimikado and Caster had planned in the process.]]

* Foreshadowing: "Do you think yourself free from the allure of having your wish granted?" This seemingly innocuous question, [[spoiler: which Iori answers with no issue the first time around, becomes a lot more poignant in New Game+. where it is revealed, he is, in fact, not.]]

* RemovedAchillesHeel: The Rogue Servants are tied to the leylines they were summoned to as anchors. Straying too far from them for too long will gradually weaken them. In addition, their Spirit Origins are significantly weaker than a traditionally summoned Servant, making them perform well below than they should. Rogue Berserker does not have these issues, as his Noble Phantasm grants him limitless stamina on its own, letting him fight at full strength no matter what.

* AlternateSelf: [[spoiler:He's a "what-if" version of Munenori who chose to command the Yagyu clan's ninjas instead of becoming head of the clan. He calls himself the Yagyu's shadow, who found justice in darkness instead of light.]] To a lesser extent, he's also this to his ''Grand Order'' self, which is him as an old man. When he meets Iori and Saber he draws his blades on them before backing down, blaming his youth for his aggression. [[spoiler: When his true identity is revealed, he notes he previously fought "a flower at the apex of heaven", aka the female Musashi, in another world, implying he's actually a younger version of Saber of Emperio from Grand Order's Shimousa chapter. Musashi likewise acknowledges him as the same man she fought, but in a different incarnation]].

* SweetTooth: When wondering around with Iori and Saber, they come across a tea shop he frequented when he was alive. He proceeds to order ''three'' of every sweet item on the menu before Iori can get a word in or overcome his shock. All with a perfectly serious look on his face. He proceeds to gobble it all up along with Saber, much to Iori's chagrin.
