* WASHI JA! [[labelnote:Explanation]]This is Nobunaga's 'acknowledgement' quote after picking a card. It's an archaic way to say "Me!", mostly used by old men or lords that lived on Nobunaga's era... but in context of FGO, it's ''always'' meant to refer to Nobunaga and her wacky attitude, also oft-accompanied with one of her cartoony circular eyes, Koha-Ace style[[/labelnote]]

** Similarly, use an Eyecon to summon Musashi[[labelnote:Explanation]]The TV series Series/KamenRiderGhost has a collectable item which contains the soul of Musashi within the series (similar to the Class cards of Series/FateKaleidLinerPrismaIllya) which can be bought in real life.

Added DiffLines:
A CrisisCrossover, plus classic Franchise/{{Nasuverse}} shenanigans, equals a game that can grow many a meme.
%%
%%PLEASE, REMEMBER: Memes that don't explain where they came from will be deleted. Even if you think it's self explanatory, there are people who will not get it. There is no such thing as a universal meme.
----
!!Please add entries in the following format:
* The meme. [=[[=]labelnote:Explanation[=]]=]The explanation behind the meme, if necessary.[=[[/=]labelnote[=]]=] [[labelnote:Explanation]]Like this.[[/labelnote]]
** Further mutations and successor memes, if any.
----
* [[MemeticBadass Sasaki Kojiro, Savior of France]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]The fact that Sasaki is one of the two best cards for the French part of the game (said map is infested with Rider-class dragons, which Assassin-class Servants do extra damage against) has led to its reputation in the Fate/Grand Order fandom as the Savior of France.[[/labelnote]]
** [X] is [[BadassBoast just a bigger swallow]]. [[labelnote:Explanation]]Kojirou's Noble Phantasm refers to cutting down a swallow mid-flight. Replace X with anything from the aforementioned dragons to end-game bosses.[[/labelnote]]
** REGEND [[labelnote:Explanation]]Sasaki Kojiro's interlude was named this before they corrected the spelling.[[/labelnote]] After he's defeated and seemingly killed during the Moon Festival event, one of the choices for the PC to say is "LEGEND OF SAMURAI" in Japanese. Nasu was having a blast while writing this.
** Scathach Skadi, Savior of Quick [[labelnote:Explanation]]Quick-based Servants have been the butt joke of inefficiency thanks to Merlin bringing in the Buster meta and Quick Servants having no busted supports as opposed to Merlin for Buster and Tamamo for Arts (Osakabehime tried to be one, but was considered a bit lacking). Then comes Scathach Skadi, who's considered a great Quick Support; this made her hailed as the Savior of Quick Meta, and sometimes, parodies with ''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender'' can be applied, [[Memes/AvatarTheLastAirbender with Merlin/Buster taking the place of the Fire Nation/invaders.]][[/labelnote]]
* [[MesACrowd The Cu Chu train]]. [[labelnote:Explanation]]A team in Grand Order using only Cu Chulainn in various forms, as he has four separate and very popular summonable versions.[[/labelnote]]
* David is a shitty parent. [[labelnote:Explanation]][[spoiler:After the revelation of Solomon being in control of the Ars Goetia demons the protagonist had fought so far, these kinds of jokes were quick to surface about how Solomon's aim to doom the future spawned from David being a bad parent. Even TheReveal that it wasn't the real Solomon but the demons themselves controlling his corpse and the real one is actually very much a NiceGuy still didn't stop the jokes from coming.]][[/labelnote]]
* Rin and Shirou's children.[[labelnote:Explanation]]Given that the design of the male and female protagonist was based on a genderflip of Rin Tohsaka and Shirou Emiya respectively, the fandom quickly made jokes of the protagonist being the child of the latters, or children if both the male and female protagonist are present. This was partially due to the game being released after the end of the ''[[Anime/FateStayNightUnlimitedBladeWorks Unlimited Blade Works]]'' anime - in which Shirou and Rin are romantically involved - and also due to Rin's route being the only one where Shirou could have any potential children.[[/labelnote]]
* Black Keys [[labelnote:Explanation]]The way ''Grand Order'''s gacha is set up, most of the time you will be pulling out Craft Essences instead of actual Servants, Black Keys being one of the most common and least useful.[[/labelnote]]
** Saber Gilles [[labelnote:Explanation]]The Servant equivalent to Black Keys, as he isn't considered very good or useful.[[/labelnote]]
* Unlimited Maintenance Works[[labelnote:Explanation]]''Grand Order'' had a rocky start to say the least; during the first five days after its release, the game was only online for HALF of that time.[[/labelnote]]
** 48 hours [[labelnote:Explanation]]The longest period of maintenence so far, which has become rather infamous[[/labelnote]]
** "So, what happens when the maintenance is over?" [[labelnote:Explanation]]A comic featuring [[Manga/SpaceAdventureCobra Cobra]] talking about the end of server maintenance. Has since mutated with [[Manga/FateKaleidLinerPrismaIllya Chloe]] and the female protagonist saying the same thing. "You don't know? That's when maintenance begins."[[/labelnote]]
* Fate/Hunger Games Simulator [[labelnote:Explanation]] One of the pass-time activities that players engage in while waiting for the game to go online again[[/labelnote]], which naturally has led to its own share of memes:
** [[http://i57.tinypic.com/r085d3.jpg Emiya picks flowers]]
** [[http://i58.tinypic.com/w0i06u.jpg Father of the year]]
* Spook! [[labelnote:Explanation]]In the 10-pull mechanic in the gacha, one of the cards will be guaranteed a 4* and above. When rolling for featured Servants during rate-ups, getting a 4* or 5* Servant when the orbs turn gold or rainbow only to find out that it wasn't the Servant you wanted is called getting spooked in Reddit, since it usually means that you pretty much lost your chances of getting the featured 5* Servant and wasted your quartz. Bonus points if they still got the 5* Servant in a later card after the 4* Servant was obtained in the same 10-pull.[[/labelnote]]
** Don't spook me Kirei [[labelnote:Explanation]]The standard prayer/good luck chant before drawing cards from the gacha.[[/labelnote]]
* Unlimited Reroll/Waifu/Husbando/Jeanne Works [[labelnote:Explanation]]A common practice among ''Grand Order'' players is to restart (reroll) the game in order to get the Servant you want, Jeanne in particular being VERY sought after thanks to her fantastic stats.[[/labelnote]]
* EX/C/E Rank Luck. [[labelnote:Explanation]]Due to the random nature of rolling for Servants and low drop rates for valuable items, players cite the Luck stat from Servant character sheets. EX is great, C is decent, E is terrible.[[/labelnote]]
* Protect their smile [[labelnote:Explanation]]An old 4chan meme, used in this context when a Servant reaches their final ascension, due to [[WhenSheSmiles the happy expressions]] that they (usually) give upon reaching their final stages. Usually accompanied with a screenshot of said final ascension and happy expression.[[/labelnote]]
* [[https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CU_PkCAUEAAb6qZ.jpg X is good civilization.]] [[https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CU_PkCKVEAAM-IG.jpg Y is bad civilization]]. [[labelnote:Explanation]]Attila wishes to destroy all civilization except for dango after eating some during the first Mid-Autumn event, declaring it to be good civilization. Eventually, 'Good/Bad Civilization' became the fandom go-to phrase for declaring 'Desirable' or 'Undesirable' things.[[/labelnote]]
* "Fuck off Reddit." [[labelnote:Explanation]]Someone on 4chan datamined the gacha used for the guaranteed 5 star servant and pasted a slightly transparent sign saying "Fuck Off Reddit" on it because of a perception that a reddit poster was claiming the anon's datamine. [[WhatAnIdiot Said reddit poster took the bait and posted the datamine as it was]], and was appropriately made fun of. Japanese posters, who were also looking for info in 4chan, found it and started typing the letters out in English without understanding what they were and wondering if the gacha was real or not. After that, every leaked picture of new events/Servants has this label.[[/labelnote]]
* Saber Lily's crotch blasting Noble Phantasm. [[labelnote:Explanation]]Her animation for Caliburn targets the enemy's crotch.[[/labelnote]]
* [[Webcomic/OnePunchMan One Buster Man]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]Due to the fact that, in early content and events, sufficiently leveled Berserkers could take out pretty much any enemy in one Brave Chain (if not one Buster attack), fanart would compare them to Saitama and his infamous OneHitKill punch. Unfortunately, this died off some time after later content started introducing enemies that wouldn't go down with one chain from a Berserker, relegating the class to a collective CrutchCharacter.[[/labelnote]]
* OMAE JA NAI!! [[labelnote:Explanation]]Roughly translates in English as: "Not You!!" For Saber Wars, when the rate-up summons were the popular and very strong units, Saber Alter and Nero, players instead got a gold Saber card that turned into Siegfried. This then combined with Siegfried's own memetic ''sumanai''.[[/labelnote]]
* Fionn, you've changed. [[labelnote: Explanation]]Fionn's design in ''Grand Order'' is ''radically'' different to the one he had in ''LightNovel/FateZero'', which lead to a lot of jokes from confused fans who didn't get the reference to a legend that was fairly obscure outside of its native Ireland.[[/labelnote]]
* Super High School Level Heroic Spirits. [[labelnote: Explanation:]] Edmond Dantes was revealed to be drawn by ''Franchise/DanganRonpa'''s main artist Rui Komatsuzaki, sporting a design that bore an eerie resemblance to [[VisualNovel/SuperDanganRonpa2 Nagito Komaeda]]. Many fans ended up wondering what Komaeda was doing in a ''Fate'' series, to which Nasu himself [[http://forums.nrvnqsr.com/showthread.php/5875-The-BAMBOO-BROOM-DIARY-%28Nasu-and-Takeuchi-blog%29?p=2290630&viewfull=1#post2290630 responded]]: "Were you expecting a mere [[Anime/{{Gankutsuou}} Cavern King]]? Too bad! He was a Super High School-tier Heroic Spirit instead!" When Komatsuzaki was called upon again to draw Cleopatra, fans started drawing the pair participating in a Chaldea Killing Game. [[/labelnote]]
* I've become a mom. [[labelnote:Explanation]]The reaction of many players after summoning Jack from the gacha. This is because Jack calls her master (or anyone that's nice to her), no matter what gender, as "mommy".[[/labelnote]]
* ISKANDER WHEN? [[labelnote:Explanation]]A common reaction from some players every time a new batch of Servants was released and Iskander wasn't on the list. The Fate/Zero collab cashed in all the hype that people had for him. To make it worse, he was the only limited Servant of the event.[[/labelnote]]
** The meme then transformed into SEMIRAMIS WHEN? Or ACHILLES WHEN? [[labelnote:Explanation]]They're the fan-favorite Apocrypha characters currently unavailable in the game. Achilles has been expected for a long time as he makes a non-playable cameo in Alexander's interlude and his two rivals (Hector and Penthesilea) are already in the game. With Semiramis, it's become a common joke that she'll appear after an Amakusa gacha, a reference to her love for him. Or alternatively for both, when Apocrypha ends airing in Japan and receives a collab event. Semiramis' version is now a DiscreditedMeme when she became the focus for Valentine 2018. The Achilles version became discredited as well once he finally became playable during the Fate/Apocrypha collab event.[[/labelnote]] Or BERSERK ATALANTE/ATALANTE ALTER WHEN?[[labelnote:Explanation]]After the airing of Episodes 21 and 22 of Apocrypha, the demand for an 'alternate' Atalante after using her other Noble Phantasm, Agrius Metamorphosis, got a rise. This one also became discredited, as Atalanta Alter was released along with the first Lostbelt chapter.[[/labelnote]]
* FGO chibis. [[labelnote:Explanation]]A lot of people are very fond of posting Servant chibis in the style of ''Learn With Manga!'' while posting in imageboards. The April Fools events just made the chibis even more popular, since now, there's official chibis for everyone.[[/labelnote]]
* Wait, and hope. [[labelnote:Explanation]]This quote from Edmond Dantes is always used whenever discussing rolls and future events/Servants. Dantes' VA (Nobunaga Shimazaki) posted a tweet of his NP 5 Dantes with the caption "Roll, and hope", spreading the meme further.[[/labelnote]]
* Angra Mainyu. [[labelnote:Explanation]]This loved, ultimate JokeCharacter was secretly added to the Friend Point gacha during Fate/Accel Zero Order, resulting in almost all players trying to roll him, and was jokingly suspected to be the reason for lots and lots of server lag and a record five maintenances for the game. And to rub salt in the wound, it's possible that his roll rate is even smaller then any of the SSR Servants' roll rate. All the Evils of the World indeed.[[/labelnote]]
* Drawings of Helena. [[labelnote:Explanation]] One chapter of ''Learn More With Manga! FGO'' has the protagonist commissioning Leonardo Da Vinci for a drawing of Helena Blavatsky under ''very'' strict (and suggestive) specifications, much to Da Vinci's chagrin. Since then, this has become a minor meme, and lots of players (along with some of the game's artists, including her character designer Matsuryuu) actually drew Helena under said specifications.[[/labelnote]]
* The Lancer Curse. [[labelnote:Explanation]]There are staggeringly high amount of players without a golden-rarity Lancer due to the difficulty of acquiring them, since most of them are either limited exclusives or story-unlocked; to put this into perspective, there are currently at least six gold-rarity Sabers able to be summoned anytime. Some unfortunate players eventually started to jokingly attribute this to Lancer's generally poor luck stat, though some players used this as an excuse to use the longtime fan-favorite Cu Chulainn...''then'' jokingly [[ButtMonkey blame their luck on him.]][[/labelnote]]
* It's a bait. [[labelnote:Explanation]]Several times DW releases a "suspicious" gacha with fan-favorites or awesome Servants, making some players blow all their quartz on the gacha ... and despairing afterwards when DW announces a new gacha/event with even more awesome Servants.[[/labelnote]]
* Another crossover meme with Theatre/AStreetcarNamedDesire: Arash's Noble Phantasm [[SayMyName Stella, the Lone Meteor]].
** Music/ManWithAMission also has a song named "Stella".
* Sandstorm [[labelnote:Explanation]]Camelot's earlier stages have a notorious sandstorm that greatly drop frame rates of the game. Many calls it "The Rude Sandstorm", alluded from Darude's "Sandstorm".[[/labelnote]]
* Mary's reaction in the "Chaldea Summer" CM to the ball going her way first being a smile as she tries to hit it and then surprise as it gets too close and hits her in the face became an ImageMacro for players' disappointment in the game.
* Noble Phantasms that involve RapidFireFisticuffs are often a nod to ''Manga/JojosBizarreAdventure'', starting with Beowulf's '''"ORA ORA ORA"''' (Jotaro), Xuanzang (with Saver as her Stand), and Saint Martha's '''"ROAD ROLLA DA"''' (DIO, with Tarrasque as the Road Roller). [[AscendedMeme Wouldn't you know it, one battle in the Nero Festival 2016]] [[https://twitter.com/uc123uc123/status/780690572432465920 features the three of them together]], also a nod to ''VideoGame/StreetsOfRage''. Even moreso in the English version, their team name is a pun to the Japanese title of that game: ''Bear Knuckles''.
* DW hates dudes. [[labelnote:Explanation]] With many of the 4* and 5* servants composed mostly of girls and Medb's exhibition round punishing you for using male servants, some people have come to this conclusion.[[/labelnote]]
* The outfit that Mash wears in the "Dangerous Beast" CE is often put on other characters, both male and female, by fan artists. Most of the art, especially the ones of female characters, tend to be very NSFW.
** This has been a ongoing theme for Halloween. One of the exclusive [=CEs=] for the 2017 Halloween event features artwork by the doujin circle [=ReDrop=] similar to the "Dangerous Beast" outfit [[note]]which was for 2016's event[[/note]]. Prior to it, for 2015's event, there was the "Halloween Princess" [[note]]which featured [[LightNovel/FateZero Irisviel Von Einzbern]] in a [[HornyDevils succubus guise]][[/note]]. For 2017, there is "[[{{Stripperiffic}} Trick or Treatment]]" [[note]]featuring [[Characters/FateGrandOrderBerserkers Nightingale]][[/note]]. They all tend to get popular around fan artists rather quickly.
* Smile protected. [[labelnote:Explanation]]Building off the wider "don't you want to protect that smile?" meme that gained popularity with many anime fans, once Mash protects ''your'' smile with her HeroicSacrifice and your heroics in turn inspire a certain character to defy reality and save her from death, you two share a moment outside Chaldea for the first time where she gives you a beaming smile. The threat is over for now and the smile has been, in fact, protected.[[/labelnote]]
* You need a catalyst to summon X. [[labelnote:Explanation]]In Fate lore, you must provide some item that has a connection to your targeted Servant to summon them (i.e. Rin's pendant for Archer EMIYA, Avalon for Altria, etc). So players have joked that if they provide a catalyst, they will be able to summon their targeted Servant. The items used can be anything like a manga/doujin/action figure of a certain Servant, going to their place (Chateau d'If in France for summoning Dantes) or even Servants themselves to summon someone they know (i.e. Hassans in a party for King Hassan).[[/labelnote]]
** Using mayonnaise to summon Hijikata. [[labelnote:Explanation]]One of the most famous Hijikata depictions in Japan is ''Manga/{{Gintama}}'''s Hijikata Toshirou, a weirdo with an incredible fondness for mayonnaise. So when DW released their own version of Hijikata as a limited Servant, this joke cropped up a lot, especially if it was actually successful.[[/labelnote]]
** Similarly, use an Eyecon to summon Musashi[[labelnote:Explanation]]The TV series Series/KamenRiderGhost has a collectable item which contains the soul of Musashi within the series (similar to the Class cards of Series/FateKaleidLinerPrismaIllya) which can be bought in real life. Thus, people have joked that the vessel of the soul of Musashi would be extremely effective in summoning her.[[/labelnote]]
** Alternatively, people have used [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5XpKhKy-5Wo this]][[labelnote:Explanation]]From the same TV series, the main's character's soul was used to catalyse Musashi's summoning, so people have reasoned that his catchphrase (which he repeats at the beginning of every episode) would also catalyse Musashi's summoning in the game.[[/labelnote]]
** Using Touken Danshi to summon Nobunaga and Okita. [[labelnote:Explanation]]With the popularity of ''VideoGame/ToukenRanbu'' and the common practice of depicting a sword with any series' version of their masters, fans using Touken Danshi to summon their masters is a common sight. In this case, many use Heshikiri Hasebe to summon Nobunaga and Yamatonokami Yasusada to summon Okita.[[/labelnote]]
* Tristan in Extra (CCC). [[labelnote: Explanation]]He's the only bonus Servant for the event without any apparent connection with CCC. Cue confused reactions from Japanese players. Tristan even trended on twitter on the day the CCC event details were announced![[/labelnote]]
* Berserker can't be defeated -- he's the strongest man in the world! [[labelnote: Explanation]]This line comes from Illya in the UBW route of ''F/SN'' ("Basaka wa dare ni mo makenai -- sekai tsuyoi ichiban da kara!") and is typically quoted whenever a player has Heracles thoroughly trash powerful bosses like Goetia by ''himself''. Demonstrated [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zCPEZoDaNsQ here.]][[/labelnote]]
* Nasu's still got it. [[labelnote: Explanation]]This appears whenever story content written by Nasu concludes and fans are left very satisfied with the story, be it the emotional aspect, epicness, or jokes inside.[[/labelnote]]
* Altria. [[labelnote: Explanation]]This interpretation of ''F/SN'' Saber's real name was quickly laughed at when seen in promotion for the US version of the game and the game itself, due to it being what Google Translate spits out when fed the Japanese character for Saber's name. Despite it being what Type-Moon apparently wanted, most people from the West prefer using Arturia or Artoria. Just try saying "Altria Alter" with a straight face. Even the localized version of ''Learning With Manga!'' [[http://fate-go.us/manga_fgo2/comic03.html takes a jab on this.]][[/labelnote]]
* My homies / MLG Marie. [[labelnote:Explanation]]When one of Marie Antoinette's story responses was translated to [[TotallyRadical "Whassup, my homies?"]] players were quick to associate MLG memes with her.[[/labelnote]]
** Kirakira [[labelnote:Explanation]]Translated as 'Shining', this's a phrase by Marie (when using a Skill) that is often associated with her, and also combined with the above. Example: "Kirakira, my homies!"[[/labelnote]]
* Frankie's "Daddy". [[labelnote: Explanation]]During the "Dead Heat Race" summer event, Fran manages to co-operate with Archer of Shinjuku (of all people) by calling him "papa". His response gave way to fanart of him fainting over the sight of Fran being cute.[[/labelnote]]
* Grail for Love. [[labelnote: Explanation]]Given the limited rarity of Grail RareCandy, much debate is on just who gets grail ascended. While there are a few characters who are useful in a spreadsheet sense, the general accepted answer is that you grail the character you love to play.[[/labelnote]]
* Skip NP when? [[labelnote: Explanation]] Some fans are just not into the Noble Phantasm animation sequence. It's even acknowledged in ''[[http://fate-go.cirnopedia.org/comic_page_02.php?chapter=20 Learning with Manga]]''. When this issue was brought up to the developers in [[http://www.rpgsite.net/interview/5761-fate-grand-order-anime-expo-2017-interview-with-the-producer-and-creative-director an interview]], their response was basically HahahaNo. The closest we get to this feature is Bunyan's NP that only has 2 seconds of animation.[[/labelnote]]
* ONORE ONORE ONORE ONORE!! [[labelnote: Explanation]]Gilgamesh's grunt of pain after something seriously painful (eg: a Noble Phantasm) is oft-quoted by many to curse at something that didn't go their way.[[/labelnote]]
* Sitting EX [[labelnote: Explanation]]Yagyu Munenori's skill animation involves him kneeling, then getting up again. Because of his good skillset for burst damage, many have called his animation "Sitting EX" [[/labelnote]]
* Sumanai. [[labelnote: Explanation]]Siegfried's low TierInducedScrappy status was pretty much legendary and not only [[FanNickname is the phrase used to describe him]], it's also used as a way to 'spook' people who drew 4-5 star Sabers only for them to be revealed to be Siegfried. The Interlude buff, while not enough to make him a decent standalone Saber, actually made him at least servicable or showing combo potential with other Servants (some Servants like Fionn are usually considered on an even lower tier than him). But [[NeverLiveItDown people have a hard time forgetting his sucky days]], so 'Sumanai' is still going to stick.[[/labelnote]]
* [X] Santa Lily. [[labelnote: Explanation]]After the sheer adorableness that 2016's Christmas event brought with the introduction of Jeanne Alter Santa Lily, many fans took it upon themselves to make Santa Lily versions of their favorite Servants in the hopes that the next year might make one of them real.[[/labelnote]]
* Genderbent Chaldea. [[labelnote: Explanation]] The sheer amount of genderbent female Servants appearing in Chaldea had some fans wondering about an event where these Servants unexpectedly turn into their historical counterpart's gender. While some versions have the Masters try to reverse the curse, others fully embrace the change and turn this new Chaldea into a [[YaoiGenre BL]] or [[RomanceGame Otome]]-styled facility.[[/labelnote]]
* Swimsuit Nitocris. [[labelnote: Explanation]]Nitocris' Swimsuit Assassin alt has amassed a ridiculous amount of memes, thanks primarily to the Medjed disguise she puts on in her earlier levels. The meme lasted well into the Halloween season and beyond, with Nitocris still wearing it in order to use it as a makeshift ghost costume, or use it as a blanket in the winter, or just because she doesn't feel like taking it off.[[/labelnote]]
* ONE RIDER GEM [[labelnote: Explanation]]In celebration of the upcoming Winter Festival in 2017, there was a special log-in bonus courtesy of Ozymandias... in the form of a single Rider Gem. Needles to say, the utter randomness of it made the whole thing go viral.[[/labelnote]]
* [=Amazon.com=] CEO [[labelnote: Explanation]]For Penthesilea, Queen of the Amazons, being an 'Amazon CEO' isn't just her FanNickname, it also made her the target of [=Amazon.com=] spoofs, like being made to deliver Amazon products, or when said product is [[http://safebooru.org/index.php?page=post&s=view&id=2350151 to instantly kill you.]][[/labelnote]]
* It's definitely [[LightNovel/FateApocrypha Semiramis]].[[labelnote: Explanation]]Semiramis fans on Reddit who'd been waiting for Semiramis's availability in the FGO gacha latched on to the idea that ''all'' the characters from the then-upcoming ''Cosmos in the Lostbelt'' chapter were her ([[https://i.redd.it/4k3eyqy637601.png even when they weren't Servants and/or clearly not her]]). Even after she became available as the featured Servant in the 2018 Valentine's Day event, the meme lives on.[[/labelnote]]
* What's [[VideoGame/PokemonSunAndMoon Lusamine]] doing here?[[labelnote: Explanation]]Brynhild's similarity with Lusamine in both looks and love problems inevitably will make the uninitiated who saw Brynhild for the first time mistake her as Lusamine's lookalike or sister, if not outright [[FanNickname nicknaming her as such]].[[/labelnote]]
* Part of Medusa's reworked animations include her making her signature crouching pose during her Extra Attack. However, the positioning makes it so that when she's not at the front of the party, she'll be doing it right in front of the party's leader, in most cases close to their crotch. It's common to see various screenshots of this with multiple characters.
** Sherlock Holmes's Extra Attack animations include closely examining and [[FingerFraming hand-framing]] enemies. [[https://i.redd.it/ys21w5jazncz.jpg This is]] [[http://i.imgur.com/FZk7ltA.jpg also]] [[https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DIFHRnUU0AAlRp0.jpg exploitable]].
* Stheno the Useless Goddess[[labelnote:Explanation]]Usually Medusa is the Gorgon Sister that gets ridiculed and bullied in-universe by being called 'useless' or sorts. Not in the players' case, since both Medusa and Gorgon range from decent to very useful, while Euryale is very useful, and Stheno... is a low-end TierInducedScrappy, so she's the one being labelled as 'useless goddess' in the players' eyes[[/labelnote]]
* Who's this Servant you speak of? I only see a Mana/Rare Prism.[[labelnote:Explanation]]Some TierInducedScrappy servants such as Siegfried ([[pre- and [[NeverLiveItDown post-buff]], Fionn and Stheno are often joked as being more useful as Rare Prisms than in gameplay.[[/labelnote]]
* [[RandomNumberGod Gacha]] [[http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/salty salt]].[[labelnote:Explanation]]Even though "salty" is pretty popular slang in all sorts of groups, in FGO it almost always comes from the gacha, because it perfectly describes the emotion you feel when all your efforts to roll your waifu result in a bunch of 3-stars and Craft Essences.[[/labelnote]]
* "The king of the Vikings who wields a bloody axe. [[DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment This is Eric Bloodaxe, the Bloodaxe King.]]" [[labelnote:Explanation]]Eric "Bloodaxe" Haraldsson's profile in the NA version is mocked for its redundancy.[[/labelnote]]
** Who's that? A new Servant? [[labelnote: Explanation]]Pretending to forget who Eric Bloodaxe is, as he's a generic HornyVikings stereotype otherwise.[[/labelnote]]
* Astolfo the haunted plush [[labelnote: Explanation]](Probably) created by [[https://myfigurecollection.net/profile/dokidoki dokodoki]], a stock photo of the Potekoro Mascot Astolfo plush serves as a template for homosexual-themed memes while being a cursed doll at the same time.[[/labelnote]]
** This was actually started by this picture proclaiming to sell [[http://knowyourmeme.com/photos/1343031-fate-type-moon a haunted Artoria plush]], which started a trend to do the same to other merchandise of characters.
* Saber buff when? or Instinct upgrade when? or Avalon when? [[labelnote: Explanation]]A common yearning of players, especially the fans of Saber Altria to fix her PowerCreep-ed status, especially for an upgrade of her Instinct skill like MHX and MHX Alter got. The 3rd Anniversary more or less killed this meme by giving Saber Altria the much-needed Instinct upgrade... although there are still other Servants stuck with vanilla Instinct (example: Beowulf) and some are still clamoring for a buff that uses Avalon in some form.[[/labelnote]]
* SAVE FOR HER/HIM [[labelnote: Explanation]]Used for whenever a person declares a Servant they're saving all their Quartz for, regardless of what banner comes up beforehand.[[/labelnote]]
* 80% [[labelnote: Explanation]]A meme in which an attack fails to deal crit damage even though it receives a very high crit rate. Also refering to Hans' Lv 5 Noble Phantasm whenever it fails to buff his allies (even worse if it is highly overcharged yet fails to buff both attack and defense).[[/labelnote]]
* [[Memes/JojosBizarreAdventure Another meme bites the dust]][[labelnote:Explanation]]While the quote is from Manga/JojosBizarreAdventureDiamondIsUnbreakable and it can be used anyplace else, it's especially potent in ''VideoGame/FateGrandOrder'' due to the tendency of memes getting discredited here and there.[[/labelnote]]
* Avicebron's single finger pointing upwards was found to be hilarious [[https://twitter.com/2peropepero/status/981520424809844736 and]] [[https://twitter.com/ame_neko22/status/981834898456698881 quite]] [[https://twitter.com/fate_hibiki/status/981831696701009925 exploitable.]]
* Kadoc got locked in a trunk and NTR'd. [[labelnote:Explanation]]Anastasia serves as Kadoc's MoralityPet, to the point where his allies are worried that he might prioritize her over their goals. When he's inevitably defeated, his version of Anastasia is killed, and he is captured aboard the ''Shadow Boarder''. The protagonist can then summon a fresh version of Anastasia, who falls in love with them. Fans then imagined [[https://www.reddit.com/r/grandorder/comments/8ah3ko/anastasias_bond_110/ Kadoc being forced to listen from the next room as his Servant grows to love the one who destroyed the world he meant to create for her]].[[/labelnote]]
** Such is the fate of Crypters.[[labelnote:Explanation]]Following Kadoc's example, fans have been thinking that the protagonist will do the same to the other Crypters they will inevitably defeat in latter Lostbelts, that their mission is to NTR the Crypters, and unlike Kadoc who can be sympathetic, they probably won't need to feel bad about doing the same to the other Crypters; with some like [[FourEyesZeroSoul Beryl Gut]] being designated as the eventual AssholeVictim. [[spoiler:Ophelia avoided this because she died in her Lostbelt and you can't NTR the dead.]][[/labelnote]]
* Persona [[labelnote:Explanation]]The first Lostbelt chapter introduced the Servants Avicebron, Antonio Salieri and Ivan the Terrible, whose designs look not much different from [[Franchise/ShinMegamiTenseiPersona post-Persona 3 era Personas]]. Alternatively, it's also used to make fun of a similar situation with 'Altria' with Hundred-Face Hassan, whose NA name is revealed to be "Hassan of the Hundred Persona"[[/labelnote]]
* CameraFiend Anastasia [[labelnote:Explanation]]Based on how Anastasia's last moments in life were basically being the one personally taking photos of herself and her sister, Anastasia is often made to be a CameraFiend who likes to take selfies or photos of others with more modern cameras compared to the ones in her time. Often to tease Kadoc.[[/labelnote]]
** Anastasia under kotatsu [[labelnote:Explanation]]The playable Anastasia has one My Room line if the player has the resident LazyBum Osakabe-hime, asking the protagonist if she can take Osakabe-hime's kotatsu for herself. This leads some fanartists to depict her under a kotatsu, sometimes turning into a LazyBum herself.[[/labelnote]]
* How does he fit into a truck? [[labelnote:Explanation]]Ivan the Terrible is one of the biggest, tallest summonable Servants, whose debut is after the first Lostbelt... and by that point, Chaldea has been reduced into just one truck (Shadow Boarder). Therefore, fanarts tend to poke fun on how the massive Ivan has trouble fitting himself into the truck.[[/labelnote]]
* Furries!! [[labelnote:Explanation]]The first Lostbelt chapter is filled with Yagas (chimeric people who are fused with beasts), most of who are wolfmen. One of them, Patxi, is very liked for his character.[[/labelnote]]
** Music/ManWithAMission [[labelnote:Explanation]]The wolfmen also remind the fans of this band's wolf mask gimmick. Also, they have a song titled "Stella".[[/labelnote]]
* Welfare Sieg[[labelnote:Explanation]]A lot of players theorized (and were correct) that Sieg would be given out as the welfare Servant of the ''Apocrypha'' event. Given his very divisive nature among fans, it become commonplace to joke about burning him for some Rare Prisms even though welfare 4* don't yield any Rare Prisms at all. Though it eventually got turned around, as [[RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap the Inheritance of Glory actually makes Sieg acceptable and likable]], so people changed their mind about burning him.[[/labelnote]]
* "I just don't like you for some reason. That's all."[[labelnote:Explanation]]This line is said by Iskandar during the Fate/Zero Accel Order event in response to El-Melloi II demanding to know why he's siding with Kariya and Lancelot over Chaldea, to which El-Melloi can only stare blankly in shock. It quickly became the idea for what Servants who refuse to be summoned by players would say, even if said players spend all their SQ for them and get nothing.[[/labelnote]]
* 10 Saint Quartz [[labelnote:Explanation]]To celebrate the 1,000 day anniversary milestone, [=DelightWorks=] rewarded players with only 10 Saint Quartz, to which the Japanese fanbase responded with anger and mockery, noting that previous day anniversary milestones had better rewards such as Golden Apples, EXP cards, and even ''rate ups of certain limited 5* servants.''[[/labelnote]]
* [[AffectionateGestureToTheHead Headpatting]] Ushiwakamaru [[labelnote:Explanation]]Ushiwakamaru is... [[BadassAdorable adorable]]. And just in her interlude, she asked the protagonist to pat her head in congratulations of her deeds. Hence, every player seemed to have an urge to pat Ushiwakamaru's head all the time whenever she does something nice or cute.[[/labelnote]]
* Nursery Rhyme saying "Fuck"[[labelnote:Explanation]]Thanks to this [[https://www.pixiv.net/member_illust.php?mode=manga&illust_id=68233822 comic]] where Nursery Rhyme said 'Fuck' in a complete contrast with her innocence, her particular face there has become a reaction face for saying OhCrap[[/labelnote]]
** Also known as "[[{{Pun}} Cursery Rhyme]]"
** HOLY SHIT FUCKING CRAZY[[labelnote:Explanation]]Same vein with the above about Abigail's 3rd Anniversary CE. FGO Materials has a description about Abby's gangsta-style casual outfit in which she says "Ho** ***t fu***ng crazy".[[/labelnote]]
* Bullying [[labelnote:Explanation]]Another term for raid bossing. Raid bosses are constantly beaten for their normally-hard-to-get drops and those who died remarkably fast are referred to as being "bullied", like Barbatos, Ibaraki-douji (both died in around 3 hours in their events) and lately, Avicebron (died in 2 hours and 40 minutes) and eventually other Apocrypha Servants in the event.[[/labelnote]]
* GenderBender Guda[[labelnote:Explanation]]Because the player can change the main character's gender and portrait at will and at any time in My Room, they're often given this ability in fanworks.[[/labelnote]]
* Darius, 3 years old/Age 3[[labelnote:Explanation]]Darius III was referred as a 3 year old during the first Christmas event (Little Darius, Age 3). Combined with how he's rendered as a ScreamingWarrior, fans started to portray him as more or less a 3 year old mentality-wise behind all that screaming.[[/labelnote]]
* Pantless Chiron[[labelnote:Explanation]]Chiron goes full centaur in his final Ascensions, making him technically pantless. Fans wondered and poked fun at this, wondering if Chiron is fine having his private parts exposed to everyone when he is in this form.[[/labelnote]]
* The Promised Day[[labelnote:Explanation]]Achilles' debut was met with fanart of him encountering Penthesilea, who hates him to no end.[[/labelnote]]
* Shinjuku Salter when?[[labelnote:Explanation]]Saber Alter and Jeanne Alter showed up in ''Epic of Remnant'' in new outfits that were met with an overwhelmingly positive critical response from players. Jeanne Alter eventually got hers as an alternate costume for the ''Da Vinci and The 7 Counterfeit Heroic Spirits'' 2018 rerun. Saber Alter, on the other hand, has yet to get hers (many believe that she should've gotten hers during the ''Saber Wars'' rerun just two months after). While not as popular as her Avenger rival, Saber Alter is still very much a BreakoutVillain, so the aforementioned phrase has become an obligatory comment of sorts whenever fanart of her in her Shinjuku outfit is posted.[[/labelnote]]
* Incoming Police Siren[[labelnote:Explanation]]Some Servants can be extremely risque thanks to being designed like TokenMiniMoe characters with {{Stripperiffic}} outfits (most notoriously Jack the Ripper and Shuten Douji), such that their mention might be accompanied with police sirens trying to arrest whoever desires them due to child pornography accusations. This is also another reason why Jeanne Alter Santa is nicknamed 'Jailter': It's a loli Jeanne Alter that will get you thrown in jail.[[/labelnote]]
* Chacha Out of Nowhere[[labelnote:Explanation]]The ''GUDAGUDA Meiji Ishin'' event where Chacha is the banner and reward Servant had a surprise re-run and came unannounced a few days after the conclusion of ''Murder at the Kogetsukan'' mystery event. This unexpected event caught many players off-guard.[[/labelnote]]
* Useless, just like Shinji[[labelnote:Explanation]]Craft Essences featuring Shinji tend to either have increased debuff resistance or increased debuff success rate, which are less than useful attributes to buff.[[/labelnote]]
* Sabers fire beams![[labelnote:Explanation]]Similar to the "Archers don't actually use bows" meme, the Saber class is often joked about being made of Servants who just [[SwordBeam shoot beams with their swords]] instead of fighting in melee with them. The joke got new material when Okita Souji's Alter form (whose NP has a Sword Beam unlike her vanilla self) was implemented in the game as an Alter Ego servant, leading players to treat the class change as a MindScrew; [[InsaneTrollLogic how could a Saber who fires beams not be a Saber?]][[/labelnote]]
* TWO YEARS[[labelnote:Explanation]]The North American version launched two years after the original Japanese version, and as it quickly became apparent that the NA version was in no rush to catch up, this became a mantra for people who wanted fan-favorites like Semiramis or Miyamoto Musashi as they had to wait that amount of time for anything new and exciting released in Japan.[[/labelnote]]
** It's been 3 years.[[labelnote:Explanation]]The third anniversary event released a Quick Caster support unit and a strengthening for Saber Altria's Instinct; the length of time it took for them to come out resulted in players thinking neither would happen to the point it became a meme.[[/labelnote]]
* Swimsuit X when? [[labelnote:Explanation]]A common yearning of certain fans to have a summer version of each of their favorite Servants who are yet to get theirs. Even newer Servants like Semiramis, Anastasia and Okita Alter are not safe from this.[[/labelnote]]
** Male Swimsuit when? [[labelnote:Explanation]]Similar to above demanding a summer version of a male Servant like EMIYA and Gilgamesh. Summer 2018 saw the release of Swimsuit Robin Hood, Edmond Dantes, and a [[TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers causal wear]] Gilgamesh, but as alternate costumes, not brand new Servants, which kept the meme alive.[[/labelnote]]
* After the Japanese version got the "random Servant" feature for My Room in 2018, fanartists used it to get two random Servants, then draw the first cosplaying as the second, frequently with hilarious results.
* Yay, Yay, Peace, Peace.[[labelnote:Explanation]]When doing Noble Phantasm, Sakamoto Ryoma might get an alternate sprite where Oryou instead puts up a peace sign, much to Ryoma's consternation. This sprite/pose tends to get snowcloned with other possible duos, like [[https://twitter.com/natsuno_n/status/1009085761121972226 such]] or [[https://twitter.com/cei_draws/status/1008044338193018880 such]].[[/labelnote]]
* Banana Oni [[labelnote:Explanation]] Ibaraki Douji started being called this since, thanks to her color scheme and the way her clothes are draped over her, she resembles a peeled banana. AscendedMeme as of the third Summer Event.[[/labelnote]]
** The NA translation of the Prisma Illya crossover event includes [[AscendedMeme addressing Ibaraki as "a fearsome banana oni"]], which she apparently finds flattering.
* [[https://imgur.com/a/LRDZ7dG Rate Up Is A Lie]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]FGO's very stingy gacha rate has become a subject of jokes thrown around whenever people whaled and still failed to get what they wanted. While it can be used in other gacha games, FGO's version is usually accompanied with the picture taken from ''Learning With Manga!'' [[https://grandorder.gamepress.gg/manga/chapter-67 featuring Jeanne d'Arc going doomsayer mode]], only with her plank rewritten with the phrase.[[/labelnote]]
* [[FanPreferredCouple OTP of Brynhild and Jeanne Alter]][[labelnote:Explanation]]Jeanne Alter is a super popular Servant and powerful to boot, and Brynhild complements with her very well... and especially, during Jalter's debut event (Da Vinci and the 7 Heroic Spirit Counterfeits), Brynhild was featured as Jalter's masochistic lesbian girlfriend. So why did this become memetic, not just a mere FanPreferredCouple example? Let's take note: Jalter was not included in Brynhild's Beloved list, and the event made it clear that it's not the real Brynhild, just a flawed counterfeit. And yet the hilarity of the event, Jalter's excellence in making 'disgusted face' (of which the event provided many), her own popularity and how well Bryn complements her in gameplay made fans go beyond that and treat it like the fake Brynhild was actually the real Brynhild, so you'll rarely see a fanart of Brynhild not lusting over her "Onee-sama" Jalter because of that. Sigurd's arrival in Lostbelt #2 changed things up a bit, however, as his determination and devotion in the face of Brynhild's murderous love, combined with his earnestness, won a number of fans over to Sigurd/Bryn.[[/labelnote]]
** Sigurd and Brynhild's Guts Relationship[[labelnote:Explanation]]Brynhild is cursed to always kill Sigurd when she meets him. Sigurd's My Room dialogue saying he would be okay with her killing him, and his second skill granting him the Guts ability, has lead to a fan workaround of the curse. She ''does'' kill him every time they meet, but Guts brings him back with 1 HP, and her curse is alleviated for a time.[[/labelnote]]
* [[IfItsYouItsOkay It's not gay if it's clay]][[labelnote:Explanation]]Sometimes fans upgrade Gilgamesh and Enkidu's bromance to a full-on romance. It helps Enkidu's form is based on Shamhat, making him really, really bishonen-looking.[[/labelnote]]
* Mash the third-wheel cockblock[[labelnote:Explanation]]Mash tags along with the protagonist everywhere, even on excursions with other female Servants who have obvious romantic intentions. Players who prefer those other female Servants over Mash would rather not have her hanging around and making disapproving faces while they're trying to have alone time with their waifu of choice.[[/labelnote]]
* RULE BREAKER[[labelnote:Explanation]]Live streams in the Japanese server give a certain amount of quartz a day after. However when someone brings out a replica of the Rule Breaker dagger in a live stream, the game gives away more quartz than intended.[[/labelnote]]
* DAISHOURI!![[labelnote:Explanation]]Okita's victory celebration is often used as a way to express great success or to refer to anything Okita does or things that make her happy... or when it happens to her VA, Creator/AoiYuuki. It can also be snowcloned into 'Dai-(X)' to refer to 'Great X' (since Daishouri translates to Great Victory)[[/labelnote]]
* RIP Swimsuit Jeanne[[labelnote:Explanation]]The Summer 2018 event was first teased with a swimsuit version of Jeanne, complete with an NP reveal. Excitement for her was initially high, and most players were expecting a ton of fanart to come out of her when the event released... then came the announcement of Swimsuit [[BreakoutVillain Jeanne]] ''[[BreakoutVillain Alter]]''. Cue jokes about Jalter stealing the spotlight from her normal counterpart. It helps that she's the event's welfare Servant (which means that she'll be readily available to anyone who plays the event, fulfilling a dream for lots of players who wanted Avenger Jalter), as opposed to Vanilla Jeanne being a limited 5*.[[/labelnote]]
* EX Clairvoyance [[labelnote:Explanation]]Refers to the NA server of this game where players predict which events will happen next because of the NA servers following the same event schedule with the Japanese server, hence much of the playerbase end up saving months worth of free Saint Quartz to roll for their favorite servants such as Merlin, Jeanne Alter, Raikou, Miyamoto Musashi, etc. (In the Fate lore, Clairvoyance is a skill that increases one's accuracy and an essential skill for Archer class servants, and those with higher ranks may have the ability of precognition with this skill (for example, Arash), hence the origin of the meme).[[/labelnote]]
** EX Clairvoyance will go down in two ranks [[labelnote:Explanation]]During the Fate/Grand Order localization panel at Anime Weekend Atlanta in 2018, Albert, the social media manager responsible for Fate/Grand Order's NA localization, referenced this meme and said it will go down in two ranks in the next few months. Some fans speculate that there will be a massive deviation on the event schedule or various quality of life changes and animation updates coming sooner than expected. Regardless, due to the vagueness of this comment, this lead fans to [[https://www.reddit.com/r/grandorder/comments/9i3ldv/me_you_everyone_else/ massive hilarious speculation and memes]].[[/labelnote]]
* SMASH THEM TITTIES [[labelnote:Explanation]]Caster of Midrash is the shopkeeper and lottery watcher of the Battle in New York 2018 event. In the lottery however, the buttons for doing the rolls are located right over her [[BuxomIsBetter large chest]]. The joke writes itself.[[/labelnote]]

%%PLEASE, REMEMBER: Memes that don't explain where they came from will be deleted. Even if you think it's self explanatory, there are people who will not get it. There is no such thing as a universal meme.

!!Please add entries in the following format:
* The meme. [=[[=]labelnote:Explanation[=]]=]The explanation behind the meme, if necessary.[=[[/=]labelnote[=]]=] [[labelnote:Explanation]]Like this.[[/labelnote]]
** Further mutations and successor memes, if any.
----
* [[MemeticBadass Sasaki Kojiro, Savior of France]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]The fact that Sasaki is one of the two best cards for the French part of the game (said map is infested with Rider-class dragons, which Assassin-class Servants do extra damage against) has led to its reputation in the Fate/Grand Order fandom as the Savior of France.[[/labelnote]]
** [X] is [[BadassBoast just a bigger swallow]]. [[labelnote:Explanation]]Kojirou's Noble Phantasm refers to cutting down a swallow mid-flight. Replace X with anything from the aforementioned dragons to end-game bosses.[[/labelnote]]
** REGEND [[labelnote:Explanation]]Sasaki Kojiro's interlude was named this before they corrected the spelling.[[/labelnote]] After he's defeated and seemingly killed during the Moon Festival event, one of the choices for the PC to say is "LEGEND OF SAMURAI" in Japanese. Nasu was having a blast while writing this.
** Scathach Skadi, Savior of Quick [[labelnote:Explanation]]Quick-based Servants have been the butt joke of inefficiency thanks to Merlin bringing in the Buster meta and Quick Servants having no busted supports as opposed to Merlin for Buster and Tamamo for Arts (Osakabehime tried to be one, but was considered a bit lacking). Then comes Scathach Skadi, who's considered a great Quick Support; this made her hailed as the Savior of Quick Meta, and sometimes, parodies with ''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender'' can be applied, [[Memes/AvatarTheLastAirbender with Merlin/Buster taking the place of the Fire Nation/invaders.]][[/labelnote]]
* [[MesACrowd The Cu Chu train]]. [[labelnote:Explanation]]A team in Grand Order using only Cu Chulainn in various forms, as he has four separate and very popular summonable versions.[[/labelnote]]
* David is a shitty parent. [[labelnote:Explanation]][[spoiler:After the revelation of Solomon being in control of the Ars Goetia demons the protagonist had fought so far, these kinds of jokes were quick to surface about how Solomon's aim to doom the future spawned from David being a bad parent. Even TheReveal that it wasn't the real Solomon but the demons themselves controlling his corpse and the real one is actually very much a NiceGuy still didn't stop the jokes from coming.]][[/labelnote]]
* Rin and Shirou's children.[[labelnote:Explanation]]Given that the design of the male and female protagonist was based on a genderflip of Rin Tohsaka and Shirou Emiya respectively, the fandom quickly made jokes of the protagonist being the child of the latters, or children if both the male and female protagonist are present. This was partially due to the game being released after the end of the ''[[Anime/FateStayNightUnlimitedBladeWorks Unlimited Blade Works]]'' anime - in which Shirou and Rin are romantically involved - and also due to Rin's route being the only one where Shirou could have any potential children.[[/labelnote]]
* Black Keys [[labelnote:Explanation]]The way ''Grand Order'''s gacha is set up, most of the time you will be pulling out Craft Essences instead of actual Servants, Black Keys being one of the most common and least useful.[[/labelnote]]
** Saber Gilles [[labelnote:Explanation]]The Servant equivalent to Black Keys, as he isn't considered very good or useful.[[/labelnote]]
* Unlimited Maintenance Works[[labelnote:Explanation]]''Grand Order'' had a rocky start to say the least; during the first five days after its release, the game was only online for HALF of that time.[[/labelnote]]
** 48 hours [[labelnote:Explanation]]The longest period of maintenence so far, which has become rather infamous[[/labelnote]]
** "So, what happens when the maintenance is over?" [[labelnote:Explanation]]A comic featuring [[Manga/SpaceAdventureCobra Cobra]] talking about the end of server maintenance. Has since mutated with [[Manga/FateKaleidLinerPrismaIllya Chloe]] and the female protagonist saying the same thing. "You don't know? That's when maintenance begins."[[/labelnote]]
* Fate/Hunger Games Simulator [[labelnote:Explanation]] One of the pass-time activities that players engage in while waiting for the game to go online again[[/labelnote]], which naturally has led to its own share of memes:
** [[http://i57.tinypic.com/r085d3.jpg Emiya picks flowers]]
** [[http://i58.tinypic.com/w0i06u.jpg Father of the year]]
* Spook! [[labelnote:Explanation]]In the 10-pull mechanic in the gacha, one of the cards will be guaranteed a 4* and above. When rolling for featured Servants during rate-ups, getting a 4* or 5* Servant when the orbs turn gold or rainbow only to find out that it wasn't the Servant you wanted is called getting spooked in Reddit, since it usually means that you pretty much lost your chances of getting the featured 5* Servant and wasted your quartz. Bonus points if they still got the 5* Servant in a later card after the 4* Servant was obtained in the same 10-pull.[[/labelnote]]
** Don't spook me Kirei [[labelnote:Explanation]]The standard prayer/good luck chant before drawing cards from the gacha.[[/labelnote]]
* Unlimited Reroll/Waifu/Husbando/Jeanne Works [[labelnote:Explanation]]A common practice among ''Grand Order'' players is to restart (reroll) the game in order to get the Servant you want, Jeanne in particular being VERY sought after thanks to her fantastic stats.[[/labelnote]]
* EX/C/E Rank Luck. [[labelnote:Explanation]]Due to the random nature of rolling for Servants and low drop rates for valuable items, players cite the Luck stat from Servant character sheets. EX is great, C is decent, E is terrible.[[/labelnote]]
* Protect their smile [[labelnote:Explanation]]An old 4chan meme, used in this context when a Servant reaches their final ascension, due to [[WhenSheSmiles the happy expressions]] that they (usually) give upon reaching their final stages. Usually accompanied with a screenshot of said final ascension and happy expression.[[/labelnote]]
* [[https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CU_PkCAUEAAb6qZ.jpg X is good civilization.]] [[https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CU_PkCKVEAAM-IG.jpg Y is bad civilization]]. [[labelnote:Explanation]]Attila wishes to destroy all civilization except for dango after eating some during the first Mid-Autumn event, declaring it to be good civilization. Eventually, 'Good/Bad Civilization' became the fandom go-to phrase for declaring 'Desirable' or 'Undesirable' things.[[/labelnote]]
* "Fuck off Reddit." [[labelnote:Explanation]]Someone on 4chan datamined the gacha used for the guaranteed 5 star servant and pasted a slightly transparent sign saying "Fuck Off Reddit" on it because of a perception that a reddit poster was claiming the anon's datamine. [[WhatAnIdiot Said reddit poster took the bait and posted the datamine as it was]], and was appropriately made fun of. Japanese posters, who were also looking for info in 4chan, found it and started typing the letters out in English without understanding what they were and wondering if the gacha was real or not. After that, every leaked picture of new events/Servants has this label.[[/labelnote]]
* Saber Lily's crotch blasting Noble Phantasm. [[labelnote:Explanation]]Her animation for Caliburn targets the enemy's crotch.[[/labelnote]]
* [[Webcomic/OnePunchMan One Buster Man]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]Due to the fact that, in early content and events, sufficiently leveled Berserkers could take out pretty much any enemy in one Brave Chain (if not one Buster attack), fanart would compare them to Saitama and his infamous OneHitKill punch. Unfortunately, this died off some time after later content started introducing enemies that wouldn't go down with one chain from a Berserker, relegating the class to a collective CrutchCharacter.[[/labelnote]]
* OMAE JA NAI!! [[labelnote:Explanation]]Roughly translates in English as: "Not You!!" For Saber Wars, when the rate-up summons were the popular and very strong units, Saber Alter and Nero, players instead got a gold Saber card that turned into Siegfried. This then combined with Siegfried's own memetic ''sumanai''.[[/labelnote]]
* Fionn, you've changed. [[labelnote: Explanation]]Fionn's design in ''Grand Order'' is ''radically'' different to the one he had in ''LightNovel/FateZero'', which lead to a lot of jokes from confused fans who didn't get the reference to a legend that was fairly obscure outside of its native Ireland.[[/labelnote]]
* Super High School Level Heroic Spirits. [[labelnote: Explanation:]] Edmond Dantes was revealed to be drawn by ''Franchise/DanganRonpa'''s main artist Rui Komatsuzaki, sporting a design that bore an eerie resemblance to [[VisualNovel/SuperDanganRonpa2 Nagito Komaeda]]. Many fans ended up wondering what Komaeda was doing in a ''Fate'' series, to which Nasu himself [[http://forums.nrvnqsr.com/showthread.php/5875-The-BAMBOO-BROOM-DIARY-%28Nasu-and-Takeuchi-blog%29?p=2290630&viewfull=1#post2290630 responded]]: "Were you expecting a mere [[Anime/{{Gankutsuou}} Cavern King]]? Too bad! He was a Super High School-tier Heroic Spirit instead!" When Komatsuzaki was called upon again to draw Cleopatra, fans started drawing the pair participating in a Chaldea Killing Game.

* I've become a mom. [[labelnote:Explanation]]The reaction of many players after summoning Jack from the gacha. This is because Jack calls her master (or anyone that's nice to her), no matter what gender, as "mommy".[[/labelnote]]
* ISKANDER WHEN? [[labelnote:Explanation]]A common reaction from some players every time a new batch of Servants was released and Iskander wasn't on the list. The Fate/Zero collab cashed in all the hype that people had for him. To make it worse, he was the only limited Servant of the event.[[/labelnote]]
** The meme then transformed into SEMIRAMIS WHEN? Or ACHILLES WHEN? [[labelnote:Explanation]]They're the fan-favorite Apocrypha characters currently unavailable in the game. Achilles has been expected for a long time as he makes a non-playable cameo in Alexander's interlude and his two rivals (Hector and Penthesilea) are already in the game. With Semiramis, it's become a common joke that she'll appear after an Amakusa gacha, a reference to her love for him. Or alternatively for both, when Apocrypha ends airing in Japan and receives a collab event. Semiramis' version is now a DiscreditedMeme when she became the focus for Valentine 2018. The Achilles version became discredited as well once he finally became playable during the Fate/Apocrypha collab event.[[/labelnote]] Or BERSERK ATALANTE/ATALANTE ALTER WHEN?[[labelnote:Explanation]]After the airing of Episodes 21 and 22 of Apocrypha, the demand for an 'alternate' Atalante after using her other Noble Phantasm, Agrius Metamorphosis, got a rise. This one also became discredited, as Atalanta Alter was released along with the first Lostbelt chapter.[[/labelnote]]
* FGO chibis. [[labelnote:Explanation]]A lot of people are very fond of posting Servant chibis in the style of ''Learn With Manga!'' while posting in imageboards. The April Fools events just made the chibis even more popular, since now, there's official chibis for everyone.[[/labelnote]]
* Wait, and hope. [[labelnote:Explanation]]This quote from Edmond Dantes is always used whenever discussing rolls and future events/Servants. Dantes' VA (Nobunaga Shimazaki) posted a tweet of his NP 5 Dantes with the caption "Roll, and hope", spreading the meme further.[[/labelnote]]
* Angra Mainyu. [[labelnote:Explanation]]This loved, ultimate JokeCharacter was secretly added to the Friend Point gacha during Fate/Accel Zero Order, resulting in almost all players trying to roll him, and was jokingly suspected to be the reason for lots and lots of server lag and a record five maintenances for the game. And to rub salt in the wound, it's possible that his roll rate is even smaller then any of the SSR Servants' roll rate. All the Evils of the World indeed.[[/labelnote]]
* Drawings of Helena. [[labelnote:Explanation]] One chapter of ''Learn More With Manga! FGO'' has the protagonist commissioning Leonardo Da Vinci for a drawing of Helena Blavatsky under ''very'' strict (and suggestive) specifications, much to Da Vinci's chagrin. Since then, this has become a minor meme, and lots of players (along with some of the game's artists, including her character designer Matsuryuu) actually drew Helena under said specifications.[[/labelnote]]
* The Lancer Curse. [[labelnote:Explanation]]There are staggeringly high amount of players without a golden-rarity Lancer due to the difficulty of acquiring them, since most of them are either limited exclusives or story-unlocked; to put this into perspective, there are currently at least six gold-rarity Sabers able to be summoned anytime. Some unfortunate players eventually started to jokingly attribute this to Lancer's generally poor luck stat, though some players used this as an excuse to use the longtime fan-favorite Cu Chulainn...''then'' jokingly [[ButtMonkey blame their luck on him.]][[/labelnote]]
* It's a bait. [[labelnote:Explanation]]Several times DW releases a "suspicious" gacha with fan-favorites or awesome Servants, making some players blow all their quartz on the gacha ... and despairing afterwards when DW announces a new gacha/event with even more awesome Servants.[[/labelnote]]
* Another crossover meme with Theatre/AStreetcarNamedDesire: Arash's Noble Phantasm [[SayMyName Stella, the Lone Meteor]].
** Music/ManWithAMission also has a song named "Stella".
* Sandstorm [[labelnote:Explanation]]Camelot's earlier stages have a notorious sandstorm that greatly drop frame rates of the game. Many calls it "The Rude Sandstorm", alluded from Darude's "Sandstorm".[[/labelnote]]
* Mary's reaction in the "Chaldea Summer" CM to the ball going her way first being a smile as she tries to hit it and then surprise as it gets too close and hits her in the face became an ImageMacro for players' disappointment in the game.
* Noble Phantasms that involve RapidFireFisticuffs are often a nod to ''Manga/JojosBizarreAdventure'', starting with Beowulf's '''"ORA ORA ORA"''' (Jotaro), Xuanzang (with Saver as her Stand), and Saint Martha's '''"ROAD ROLLA DA"''' (DIO, with Tarrasque as the Road Roller). [[AscendedMeme Wouldn't you know it, one battle in the Nero Festival 2016]] [[https://twitter.com/uc123uc123/status/780690572432465920 features the three of them together]], also a nod to ''VideoGame/StreetsOfRage''. Even moreso in the English version, their team name is a pun to the Japanese title of that game: ''Bear Knuckles''.
* DW hates dudes. [[labelnote:Explanation]] With many of the 4* and 5* servants composed mostly of girls and Medb's exhibition round punishing you for using male servants, some people have come to this conclusion.[[/labelnote]]
* The outfit that Mash wears in the "Dangerous Beast" CE is often put on other characters, both male and female, by fan artists. Most of the art, especially the ones of female characters, tend to be very NSFW.
** This has been a ongoing theme for Halloween. One of the exclusive [=CEs=] for the 2017 Halloween event features artwork by the doujin circle [=ReDrop=] similar to the "Dangerous Beast" outfit [[note]]which was for 2016's event[[/note]]. Prior to it, for 2015's event, there was the "Halloween Princess" [[note]]which featured [[LightNovel/FateZero Irisviel Von Einzbern]] in a [[HornyDevils succubus guise]][[/note]]. For 2017, there is "[[{{Stripperiffic}} Trick or Treatment]]" [[note]]featuring [[Characters/FateGrandOrderBerserkers Nightingale]][[/note]]. They all tend to get popular around fan artists rather quickly.
* Smile protected. [[labelnote:Explanation]]Building off the wider "don't you want to protect that smile?" meme that gained popularity with many anime fans, once Mash protects ''your'' smile with her HeroicSacrifice and your heroics in turn inspire a certain character to defy reality and save her from death, you two share a moment outside Chaldea for the first time where she gives you a beaming smile. The threat is over for now and the smile has been, in fact, protected.[[/labelnote]]
* You need a catalyst to summon X. [[labelnote:Explanation]]In Fate lore, you must provide some item that has a connection to your targeted Servant to summon them (i.e. Rin's pendant for Archer EMIYA, Avalon for Altria, etc). So players have joked that if they provide a catalyst, they will be able to summon their targeted Servant. The items used can be anything like a manga/doujin/action figure of a certain Servant, going to their place (Chateau d'If in France for summoning Dantes) or even Servants themselves to summon someone they know (i.e. Hassans in a party for King Hassan).[[/labelnote]]
** Using mayonnaise to summon Hijikata. [[labelnote:Explanation]]One of the most famous Hijikata depictions in Japan is ''Manga/{{Gintama}}'''s Hijikata Toshirou, a weirdo with an incredible fondness for mayonnaise. So when DW released their own version of Hijikata as a limited Servant, this joke cropped up a lot, especially if it was actually successful.[[/labelnote]]
** Similarly, use an Eyecon to summon Musashi[[labelnote:Explanation]]The TV series Series/KamenRiderGhost has a collectable item which contains the soul of Musashi within the series (similar to the Class cards of Series/FateKaleidLinerPrismaIllya) which can be bought in real life. Thus, people have joked that the vessel of the soul of Musashi would be extremely effective in summoning her.[[/labelnote]]
** Alternatively, people have used [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5XpKhKy-5Wo this]][[labelnote:Explanation]]From the same TV series, the main's character's soul was used to catalyse Musashi's summoning, so people have reasoned that his catchphrase (which he repeats at the beginning of every episode) would also catalyse Musashi's summoning in the game.[[/labelnote]]
** Using Touken Danshi to summon Nobunaga and Okita. [[labelnote:Explanation]]With the popularity of ''VideoGame/ToukenRanbu'' and the common practice of depicting a sword with any series' version of their masters, fans using Touken Danshi to summon their masters is a common sight. In this case, many use Heshikiri Hasebe to summon Nobunaga and Yamatonokami Yasusada to summon Okita.[[/labelnote]]
* Tristan in Extra (CCC). [[labelnote: Explanation]]He's the only bonus Servant for the event without any apparent connection with CCC. Cue confused reactions from Japanese players. Tristan even trended on twitter on the day the CCC event details were announced![[/labelnote]]
* Berserker can't be defeated -- he's the strongest man in the world! [[labelnote: Explanation]]This line comes from Illya in the UBW route of ''F/SN'' ("Basaka wa dare ni mo makenai -- sekai tsuyoi ichiban da kara!") and is typically quoted whenever a player has Heracles thoroughly trash powerful bosses like Goetia by ''himself''. Demonstrated [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zCPEZoDaNsQ here.]][[/labelnote]]
* Nasu's still got it. [[labelnote: Explanation]]This appears whenever story content written by Nasu concludes and fans are left very satisfied with the story, be it the emotional aspect, epicness, or jokes inside.[[/labelnote]]
* Altria. [[labelnote: Explanation]]This interpretation of ''F/SN'' Saber's real name was quickly laughed at when seen in promotion for the US version of the game and the game itself, due to it being what Google Translate spits out when fed the Japanese character for Saber's name. Despite it being what Type-Moon apparently wanted, most people from the West prefer using Arturia or Artoria. Just try saying "Altria Alter" with a straight face. Even the localized version of ''Learning With Manga!'' [[http://fate-go.us/manga_fgo2/comic03.html takes a jab on this.]][[/labelnote]]
* My homies / MLG Marie. [[labelnote:Explanation]]When one of Marie Antoinette's story responses was translated to [[TotallyRadical "Whassup, my homies?"]] players were quick to associate MLG memes with her.[[/labelnote]]
** Kirakira [[labelnote:Explanation]]Translated as 'Shining', this's a phrase by Marie (when using a Skill) that is often associated with her, and also combined with the above. Example: "Kirakira, my homies!"[[/labelnote]]
* Frankie's "Daddy". [[labelnote: Explanation]]During the "Dead Heat Race" summer event, Fran manages to co-operate with Archer of Shinjuku (of all people) by calling him "papa". His response gave way to fanart of him fainting over the sight of Fran being cute.[[/labelnote]]
* Grail for Love. [[labelnote: Explanation]]Given the limited rarity of Grail RareCandy, much debate is on just who gets grail ascended. While there are a few characters who are useful in a spreadsheet sense, the general accepted answer is that you grail the character you love to play.[[/labelnote]]
* Skip NP when? [[labelnote: Explanation]] Some fans are just not into the Noble Phantasm animation sequence. It's even acknowledged in ''[[http://fate-go.cirnopedia.org/comic_page_02.php?chapter=20 Learning with Manga]]''. When this issue was brought up to the developers in [[http://www.rpgsite.net/interview/5761-fate-grand-order-anime-expo-2017-interview-with-the-producer-and-creative-director an interview]], their response was basically HahahaNo. The closest we get to this feature is Bunyan's NP that only has 2 seconds of animation.[[/labelnote]]
* ONORE ONORE ONORE ONORE!! [[labelnote: Explanation]]Gilgamesh's grunt of pain after something seriously painful (eg: a Noble Phantasm) is oft-quoted by many to curse at something that didn't go their way.[[/labelnote]]
* Sitting EX [[labelnote: Explanation]]Yagyu Munenori's skill animation involves him kneeling, then getting up again. Because of his good skillset for burst damage, many have called his animation "Sitting EX" [[/labelnote]]
* Sumanai. [[labelnote: Explanation]]Siegfried's low TierInducedScrappy status was pretty much legendary and not only [[FanNickname is the phrase used to describe him]], it's also used as a way to 'spook' people who drew 4-5 star Sabers only for them to be revealed to be Siegfried. The Interlude buff, while not enough to make him a decent standalone Saber, actually made him at least servicable or showing combo potential with other Servants (some Servants like Fionn are usually considered on an even lower tier than him). But [[NeverLiveItDown people have a hard time forgetting his sucky days]], so 'Sumanai' is still going to stick.[[/labelnote]]
* [X] Santa Lily. [[labelnote: Explanation]]After the sheer adorableness that 2016's Christmas event brought with the introduction of Jeanne Alter Santa Lily, many fans took it upon themselves to make Santa Lily versions of their favorite Servants in the hopes that the next year might make one of them real.[[/labelnote]]
* Genderbent Chaldea. [[labelnote: Explanation]] The sheer amount of genderbent female Servants appearing in Chaldea had some fans wondering about an event where these Servants unexpectedly turn into their historical counterpart's gender. While some versions have the Masters try to reverse the curse, others fully embrace the change and turn this new Chaldea into a [[YaoiGenre BL]] or [[RomanceGame Otome]]-styled facility.[[/labelnote]]
* Swimsuit Nitocris. [[labelnote: Explanation]]Nitocris' Swimsuit Assassin alt has amassed a ridiculous amount of memes, thanks primarily to the Medjed disguise she puts on in her earlier levels. The meme lasted well into the Halloween season and beyond, with Nitocris still wearing it in order to use it as a makeshift ghost costume, or use it as a blanket in the winter, or just because she doesn't feel like taking it off.[[/labelnote]]
* ONE RIDER GEM [[labelnote: Explanation]]In celebration of the upcoming Winter Festival in 2017, there was a special log-in bonus courtesy of Ozymandias... in the form of a single Rider Gem. Needles to say, the utter randomness of it made the whole thing go viral.[[/labelnote]]
* [=Amazon.com=] CEO [[labelnote: Explanation]]For Penthesilea, Queen of the Amazons, being an 'Amazon CEO' isn't just her FanNickname, it also made her the target of [=Amazon.com=] spoofs, like being made to deliver Amazon products, or when said product is [[http://safebooru.org/index.php?page=post&s=view&id=2350151 to instantly kill you.]][[/labelnote]]
* It's definitely [[LightNovel/FateApocrypha Semiramis]].[[labelnote: Explanation]]Semiramis fans on Reddit who'd been waiting for Semiramis's availability in the FGO gacha latched on to the idea that ''all'' the characters from the then-upcoming ''Cosmos in the Lostbelt'' chapter were her ([[https://i.redd.it/4k3eyqy637601.png even when they weren't Servants and/or clearly not her]]). Even after she became available as the featured Servant in the 2018 Valentine's Day event, the meme lives on.[[/labelnote]]
* What's [[VideoGame/PokemonSunAndMoon Lusamine]] doing here?[[labelnote: Explanation]]Brynhild's similarity with Lusamine in both looks and love problems inevitably will make the uninitiated who saw Brynhild for the first time mistake her as Lusamine's lookalike or sister, if not outright [[FanNickname nicknaming her as such]].[[/labelnote]]
* Part of Medusa's reworked animations include her making her signature crouching pose during her Extra Attack. However, the positioning makes it so that when she's not at the front of the party, she'll be doing it right in front of the party's leader, in most cases close to their crotch. It's common to see various screenshots of this with multiple characters.
** Sherlock Holmes's Extra Attack animations include closely examining and [[FingerFraming hand-framing]] enemies. [[https://i.redd.it/ys21w5jazncz.jpg This is]] [[http://i.imgur.com/FZk7ltA.jpg also]] [[https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DIFHRnUU0AAlRp0.jpg exploitable]].
* Stheno the Useless Goddess[[labelnote:Explanation]]Usually Medusa is the Gorgon Sister that gets ridiculed and bullied in-universe by being called 'useless' or sorts. Not in the players' case, since both Medusa and Gorgon range from decent to very useful, while Euryale is very useful, and Stheno... is a low-end TierInducedScrappy, so she's the one being labelled as 'useless goddess' in the players' eyes[[/labelnote]]
* Who's this Servant you speak of? I only see a Mana/Rare Prism.[[labelnote:Explanation]]Some TierInducedScrappy servants such as Siegfried ([[pre- and [[NeverLiveItDown post-buff]], Fionn and Stheno are often joked as being more useful as Rare Prisms than in gameplay.[[/labelnote]]
* [[RandomNumberGod Gacha]] [[http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/salty salt]].[[labelnote:Explanation]]Even though "salty" is pretty popular slang in all sorts of groups, in FGO it almost always comes from the gacha, because it perfectly describes the emotion you feel when all your efforts to roll your waifu result in a bunch of 3-stars and Craft Essences.[[/labelnote]]
* "The king of the Vikings who wields a bloody axe. [[DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment This is Eric Bloodaxe, the Bloodaxe King.]]" [[labelnote:Explanation]]Eric "Bloodaxe" Haraldsson's profile in the NA version is mocked for its redundancy.[[/labelnote]]
** Who's that? A new Servant? [[labelnote: Explanation]]Pretending to forget who Eric Bloodaxe is, as he's a generic HornyVikings stereotype otherwise.[[/labelnote]]
* Astolfo the haunted plush [[labelnote: Explanation]](Probably) created by [[https://myfigurecollection.net/profile/dokidoki dokodoki]], a stock photo of the Potekoro Mascot Astolfo plush serves as a template for homosexual-themed memes while being a cursed doll at the same time.[[/labelnote]]
** This was actually started by this picture proclaiming to sell [[http://knowyourmeme.com/photos/1343031-fate-type-moon a haunted Artoria plush]], which started a trend to do the same to other merchandise of characters.
* Saber buff when? or Instinct upgrade when? or Avalon when? [[labelnote: Explanation]]A common yearning of players, especially the fans of Saber Altria to fix her PowerCreep-ed status, especially for an upgrade of her Instinct skill like MHX and MHX Alter got. The 3rd Anniversary more or less killed this meme by giving Saber Altria the much-needed Instinct upgrade... although there are still other Servants stuck with vanilla Instinct (example: Beowulf) and some are still clamoring for a buff that uses Avalon in some form.[[/labelnote]]
* SAVE FOR HER/HIM [[labelnote: Explanation]]Used for whenever a person declares a Servant they're saving all their Quartz for, regardless of what banner comes up beforehand.[[/labelnote]]
* 80% [[labelnote: Explanation]]A meme in which an attack fails to deal crit damage even though it receives a very high crit rate. Also refering to Hans' Lv 5 Noble Phantasm whenever it fails to buff his allies (even worse if it is highly overcharged yet fails to buff both attack and defense).[[/labelnote]]
* [[Memes/JojosBizarreAdventure Another meme bites the dust]][[labelnote:Explanation]]While the quote is from Manga/JojosBizarreAdventureDiamondIsUnbreakable and it can be used anyplace else, it's especially potent in ''VideoGame/FateGrandOrder'' due to the tendency of memes getting discredited here and there.[[/labelnote]]
* Avicebron's single finger pointing upwards was found to be hilarious [[https://twitter.com/2peropepero/status/981520424809844736 and]] [[https://twitter.com/ame_neko22/status/981834898456698881 quite]] [[https://twitter.com/fate_hibiki/status/981831696701009925 exploitable.]]
* Kadoc got locked in a trunk and NTR'd. [[labelnote:Explanation]]Anastasia serves as Kadoc's MoralityPet, to the point where his allies are worried that he might prioritize her over their goals. When he's inevitably defeated, his version of Anastasia is killed, and he is captured aboard the ''Shadow Boarder''. The protagonist can then summon a fresh version of Anastasia, who falls in love with them. Fans then imagined [[https://www.reddit.com/r/grandorder/comments/8ah3ko/anastasias_bond_110/ Kadoc being forced to listen from the next room as his Servant grows to love the one who destroyed the world he meant to create for her]].[[/labelnote]]
** Such is the fate of Crypters.[[labelnote:Explanation]]Following Kadoc's example, fans have been thinking that the protagonist will do the same to the other Crypters they will inevitably defeat in latter Lostbelts, that their mission is to NTR the Crypters, and unlike Kadoc who can be sympathetic, they probably won't need to feel bad about doing the same to the other Crypters; with some like [[FourEyesZeroSoul Beryl Gut]] being designated as the eventual AssholeVictim. [[spoiler:Ophelia avoided this because she died in her Lostbelt and you can't NTR the dead.]][[/labelnote]]
* Persona [[labelnote:Explanation]]The first Lostbelt chapter introduced the Servants Avicebron, Antonio Salieri and Ivan the Terrible, whose designs look not much different from [[Franchise/ShinMegamiTenseiPersona post-Persona 3 era Personas]]. Alternatively, it's also used to make fun of a similar situation with 'Altria' with Hundred-Face Hassan, whose NA name is revealed to be "Hassan of the Hundred Persona"[[/labelnote]]
* CameraFiend Anastasia [[labelnote:Explanation]]Based on how Anastasia's last moments in life were basically being the one personally taking photos of herself and her sister, Anastasia is often made to be a CameraFiend who likes to take selfies or photos of others with more modern cameras compared to the ones in her time. Often to tease Kadoc.[[/labelnote]]
** Anastasia under kotatsu [[labelnote:Explanation]]The playable Anastasia has one My Room line if the player has the resident LazyBum Osakabe-hime, asking the protagonist if she can take Osakabe-hime's kotatsu for herself. This leads some fanartists to depict her under a kotatsu, sometimes turning into a LazyBum herself.[[/labelnote]]
* How does he fit into a truck? [[labelnote:Explanation]]Ivan the Terrible is one of the biggest, tallest summonable Servants, whose debut is after the first Lostbelt... and by that point, Chaldea has been reduced into just one truck (Shadow Boarder). Therefore, fanarts tend to poke fun on how the massive Ivan has trouble fitting himself into the truck.[[/labelnote]]
* Furries!! [[labelnote:Explanation]]The first Lostbelt chapter is filled with Yagas (chimeric people who are fused with beasts), most of who are wolfmen. One of them, Patxi, is very liked for his character.[[/labelnote]]
** Music/ManWithAMission [[labelnote:Explanation]]The wolfmen also remind the fans of this band's wolf mask gimmick. Also, they have a song titled "Stella".[[/labelnote]]
* Welfare Sieg[[labelnote:Explanation]]A lot of players theorized (and were correct) that Sieg would be given out as the welfare Servant of the ''Apocrypha'' event. Given his very divisive nature among fans, it become commonplace to joke about burning him for some Rare Prisms even though welfare 4* don't yield any Rare Prisms at all. Though it eventually got turned around, as [[RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap the Inheritance of Glory actually makes Sieg acceptable and likable]], so people changed their mind about burning him.[[/labelnote]]
* "I just don't like you for some reason. That's all."[[labelnote:Explanation]]This line is said by Iskandar during the Fate/Zero Accel Order event in response to El-Melloi II demanding to know why he's siding with Kariya and Lancelot over Chaldea, to which El-Melloi can only stare blankly in shock. It quickly became the idea for what Servants who refuse to be summoned by players would say, even if said players spend all their SQ for them and get nothing.[[/labelnote]]
* 10 Saint Quartz [[labelnote:Explanation]]To celebrate the 1,000 day anniversary milestone, [=DelightWorks=] rewarded players with only 10 Saint Quartz, to which the Japanese fanbase responded with anger and mockery, noting that previous day anniversary milestones had better rewards such as Golden Apples, EXP cards, and even ''rate ups of certain limited 5* servants.''[[/labelnote]]
* [[AffectionateGestureToTheHead Headpatting]] Ushiwakamaru [[labelnote:Explanation]]Ushiwakamaru is... [[BadassAdorable adorable]]. And just in her interlude, she asked the protagonist to pat her head in congratulations of her deeds. Hence, every player seemed to have an urge to pat Ushiwakamaru's head all the time whenever she does something nice or cute.[[/labelnote]]
* Nursery Rhyme saying "Fuck"[[labelnote:Explanation]]Thanks to this [[https://www.pixiv.net/member_illust.php?mode=manga&illust_id=68233822 comic]] where Nursery Rhyme said 'Fuck' in a complete contrast with her innocence, her particular face there has become a reaction face for saying OhCrap[[/labelnote]]
** Also known as "[[{{Pun}} Cursery Rhyme]]"
** HOLY SHIT FUCKING CRAZY[[labelnote:Explanation]]Same vein with the above about Abigail's 3rd Anniversary CE. FGO Materials has a description about Abby's gangsta-style casual outfit in which she says "Ho** ***t fu***ng crazy".[[/labelnote]]
* Bullying [[labelnote:Explanation]]Another term for raid bossing. Raid bosses are constantly beaten for their normally-hard-to-get drops and those who died remarkably fast are referred to as being "bullied", like Barbatos, Ibaraki-douji (both died in around 3 hours in their events) and lately, Avicebron (died in 2 hours and 40 minutes) and eventually other Apocrypha Servants in the event.[[/labelnote]]
* GenderBender Guda[[labelnote:Explanation]]Because the player can change the main character's gender and portrait at will and at any time in My Room, they're often given this ability in fanworks.[[/labelnote]]
* Darius, 3 years old/Age 3[[labelnote:Explanation]]Darius III was referred as a 3 year old during the first Christmas event (Little Darius, Age 3). Combined with how he's rendered as a ScreamingWarrior, fans started to portray him as more or less a 3 year old mentality-wise behind all that screaming.[[/labelnote]]
* Pantless Chiron[[labelnote:Explanation]]Chiron goes full centaur in his final Ascensions, making him technically pantless. Fans wondered and poked fun at this, wondering if Chiron is fine having his private parts exposed to everyone when he is in this form.[[/labelnote]]
* The Promised Day[[labelnote:Explanation]]Achilles' debut was met with fanart of him encountering Penthesilea, who hates him to no end.[[/labelnote]]
* Shinjuku Salter when?[[labelnote:Explanation]]Saber Alter and Jeanne Alter showed up in ''Epic of Remnant'' in new outfits that were met with an overwhelmingly positive critical response from players. Jeanne Alter eventually got hers as an alternate costume for the ''Da Vinci and The 7 Counterfeit Heroic Spirits'' 2018 rerun. Saber Alter, on the other hand, has yet to get hers (many believe that she should've gotten hers during the ''Saber Wars'' rerun just two months after). While not as popular as her Avenger rival, Saber Alter is still very much a BreakoutVillain, so the aforementioned phrase has become an obligatory comment of sorts whenever fanart of her in her Shinjuku outfit is posted.[[/labelnote]]
* Incoming Police Siren[[labelnote:Explanation]]Some Servants can be extremely risque thanks to being designed like TokenMiniMoe characters with {{Stripperiffic}} outfits (most notoriously Jack the Ripper and Shuten Douji), such that their mention might be accompanied with police sirens trying to arrest whoever desires them due to child pornography accusations. This is also another reason why Jeanne Alter Santa is nicknamed 'Jailter': It's a loli Jeanne Alter that will get you thrown in jail.[[/labelnote]]
* Chacha Out of Nowhere[[labelnote:Explanation]]The ''GUDAGUDA Meiji Ishin'' event where Chacha is the banner and reward Servant had a surprise re-run and came unannounced a few days after the conclusion of ''Murder at the Kogetsukan'' mystery event. This unexpected event caught many players off-guard.[[/labelnote]]
* Useless, just like Shinji[[labelnote:Explanation]]Craft Essences featuring Shinji tend to either have increased debuff resistance or increased debuff success rate, which are less than useful attributes to buff.[[/labelnote]]
* Sabers fire beams![[labelnote:Explanation]]Similar to the "Archers don't actually use bows" meme, the Saber class is often joked about being made of Servants who just [[SwordBeam shoot beams with their swords]] instead of fighting in melee with them. The joke got new material when Okita Souji's Alter form (whose NP has a Sword Beam unlike her vanilla self) was implemented in the game as an Alter Ego servant, leading players to treat the class change as a MindScrew; [[InsaneTrollLogic how could a Saber who fires beams not be a Saber?]][[/labelnote]]
* TWO YEARS[[labelnote:Explanation]]The North American version launched two years after the original Japanese version, and as it quickly became apparent that the NA version was in no rush to catch up, this became a mantra for people who wanted fan-favorites like Semiramis or Miyamoto Musashi as they had to wait that amount of time for anything new and exciting released in Japan.[[/labelnote]]
** It's been 3 years.[[labelnote:Explanation]]The third anniversary event released a Quick Caster support unit and a strengthening for Saber Altria's Instinct; the length of time it took for them to come out resulted in players thinking neither would happen to the point it became a meme.[[/labelnote]]
* Swimsuit X when? [[labelnote:Explanation]]A common yearning of certain fans to have a summer version of each of their favorite Servants who are yet to get theirs. Even newer Servants like Semiramis, Anastasia and Okita Alter are not safe from this.[[/labelnote]]
** Male Swimsuit when? [[labelnote:Explanation]]Similar to above demanding a summer version of a male Servant like EMIYA and Gilgamesh. Summer 2018 saw the release of Swimsuit Robin Hood, Edmond Dantes, and a [[TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers causal wear]] Gilgamesh, but as alternate costumes, not brand new Servants, which kept the meme alive.[[/labelnote]]
* After the Japanese version got the "random Servant" feature for My Room in 2018, fanartists used it to get two random Servants, then draw the first cosplaying as the second, frequently with hilarious results.
* Yay, Yay, Peace, Peace.[[labelnote:Explanation]]When doing Noble Phantasm, Sakamoto Ryoma might get an alternate sprite where Oryou instead puts up a peace sign, much to Ryoma's consternation. This sprite/pose tends to get snowcloned with other possible duos, like [[https://twitter.com/natsuno_n/status/1009085761121972226 such]] or [[https://twitter.com/cei_draws/status/1008044338193018880 such]].[[/labelnote]]
* Banana Oni [[labelnote:Explanation]] Ibaraki Douji started being called this since, thanks to her color scheme and the way her clothes are draped over her, she resembles a peeled banana. AscendedMeme as of the third Summer Event.[[/labelnote]]
** The NA translation of the Prisma Illya crossover event includes [[AscendedMeme addressing Ibaraki as "a fearsome banana oni"]], which she apparently finds flattering.
* [[https://imgur.com/a/LRDZ7dG Rate Up Is A Lie]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]FGO's very stingy gacha rate has become a subject of jokes thrown around whenever people whaled and still failed to get what they wanted. While it can be used in other gacha games, FGO's version is usually accompanied with the picture taken from ''Learning With Manga!'' [[https://grandorder.gamepress.gg/manga/chapter-67 featuring Jeanne d'Arc going doomsayer mode]], only with her plank rewritten with the phrase.[[/labelnote]]
* [[FanPreferredCouple OTP of Brynhild and Jeanne Alter]][[labelnote:Explanation]]Jeanne Alter is a super popular Servant and powerful to boot, and Brynhild complements with her very well... and especially, during Jalter's debut event (Da Vinci and the 7 Heroic Spirit Counterfeits), Brynhild was featured as Jalter's masochistic lesbian girlfriend. So why did this become memetic, not just a mere FanPreferredCouple example? Let's take note: Jalter was not included in Brynhild's Beloved list, and the event made it clear that it's not the real Brynhild, just a flawed counterfeit. And yet the hilarity of the event, Jalter's excellence in making 'disgusted face' (of which the event provided many), her own popularity and how well Bryn complements her in gameplay made fans go beyond that and treat it like the fake Brynhild was actually the real Brynhild, so you'll rarely see a fanart of Brynhild not lusting over her "Onee-sama" Jalter because of that. Sigurd's arrival in Lostbelt #2 changed things up a bit, however, as his determination and devotion in the face of Brynhild's murderous love, combined with his earnestness, won a number of fans over to Sigurd/Bryn.[[/labelnote]]
** Sigurd and Brynhild's Guts Relationship[[labelnote:Explanation]]Brynhild is cursed to always kill Sigurd when she meets him. Sigurd's My Room dialogue saying he would be okay with her killing him, and his second skill granting him the Guts ability, has lead to a fan workaround of the curse. She ''does'' kill him every time they meet, but Guts brings him back with 1 HP, and her curse is alleviated for a time.[[/labelnote]]
* [[IfItsYouItsOkay It's not gay if it's clay]][[labelnote:Explanation]]Sometimes fans upgrade Gilgamesh and Enkidu's bromance to a full-on romance. It helps Enkidu's form is based on Shamhat, making him really, really bishonen-looking.[[/labelnote]]
* Mash the third-wheel cockblock[[labelnote:Explanation]]Mash tags along with the protagonist everywhere, even on excursions with other female Servants who have obvious romantic intentions. Players who prefer those other female Servants over Mash would rather not have her hanging around and making disapproving faces while they're trying to have alone time with their waifu of choice.[[/labelnote]]
* RULE BREAKER[[labelnote:Explanation]]Live streams in the Japanese server give a certain amount of quartz a day after. However when someone brings out a replica of the Rule Breaker dagger in a live stream, the game gives away more quartz than intended.[[/labelnote]]
* DAISHOURI!![[labelnote:Explanation]]Okita's victory celebration is often used as a way to express great success or to refer to anything Okita does or things that make her happy... or when it happens to her VA, Creator/AoiYuuki. It can also be snowcloned into 'Dai-(X)' to refer to 'Great X' (since Daishouri translates to Great Victory)[[/labelnote]]
* RIP Swimsuit Jeanne[[labelnote:Explanation]]The Summer 2018 event was first teased with a swimsuit version of Jeanne, complete with an NP reveal. Excitement for her was initially high, and most players were expecting a ton of fanart to come out of her when the event released... then came the announcement of Swimsuit [[BreakoutVillain Jeanne]] ''[[BreakoutVillain Alter]]''. Cue jokes about Jalter stealing the spotlight from her normal counterpart. It helps that she's the event's welfare Servant (which means that she'll be readily available to anyone who plays the event, fulfilling a dream for lots of players who wanted Avenger Jalter), as opposed to Vanilla Jeanne being a limited 5*.[[/labelnote]]
* EX Clairvoyance [[labelnote:Explanation]]Refers to the NA server of this game where players predict which events will happen next because of the NA servers following the same event schedule with the Japanese server, hence much of the playerbase end up saving months worth of free Saint Quartz to roll for their favorite servants such as Merlin, Jeanne Alter, Raikou, Miyamoto Musashi, etc. (In the Fate lore, Clairvoyance is a skill that increases one's accuracy and an essential skill for Archer class servants, and those with higher ranks may have the ability of precognition with this skill (for example, Arash), hence the origin of the meme).[[/labelnote]]
** EX Clairvoyance will go down in two ranks [[labelnote:Explanation]]During the Fate/Grand Order localization panel at Anime Weekend Atlanta in 2018, Albert, the social media manager responsible for Fate/Grand Order's NA localization, referenced this meme and said it will go down in two ranks in the next few months. Some fans speculate that there will be a massive deviation on the event schedule or various quality of life changes and animation updates coming sooner than expected. Regardless, due to the vagueness of this comment, this lead fans to [[https://www.reddit.com/r/grandorder/comments/9i3ldv/me_you_everyone_else/ massive hilarious speculation and memes]].[[/labelnote]]
* SMASH THEM TITTIES [[labelnote:Explanation]]Caster of Midrash is the shopkeeper and lottery watcher of the Battle in New York 2018 event. In the lottery however, the buttons for doing the rolls are located right over her [[BuxomIsBetter large chest]]. The joke writes itself.[[/labelnote]]
