History Memes / Nasuverse

** Being Lancer is wonderful. [[labelnote:Explanation]]As of [[LightNovel/FateApocrypha Fate/Apocrypha's]] release, this has taken a complete 180, since both of its Lancers, Vlad the Impaler and Karna, are respectively [[AuthorityEqualsAsskicking the strongest member of Black Team]] and [[StoryBreakerPower one of the single most overpowered characters in the entire franchise]], theorized to be able to take on [[PhysicalGod GILGAMESH]]. Lancer of Black ends up like every other lancer, though.[[/labelnote]]

** [[AdamSmithHatesYourGuts Kirei's rip off store.]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]Anytime Kirei is selling anything, he will charge ridicious prices for it, infamously the Mapo Tofu he sees in ''Prisma Illya''[[spoiler:and the school uniform you need to get the true ending in ''Fate/EXTRA CCC''.]] [[/labelnote]]

* Tsukihime remake [[DevelopmentHell when?]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]Since the day it was announced in 2008, people had been excitedly anticipating the release date of the reboot of the original Tsukihime visual novel and the redesigns and additional info on it Type-Moon posted back then only served to fuel the fire further. However, as of this writing in 2019, absolutely nothing about it has been heard of since, leading to fans continuously spamming this question over and over again whenever it's brought up.[[https://www.siliconera.com/2019/10/05/type-moons-tsukihime-remake-is-alive-and-kicking-and-currently-undergoing-test-play/ Until 5 October 2019 year that Nasu said during Famitsu article that Tsukihime remake is in test play.]] Which made people very happy. [[SavedFromDevelopmentHell And the meme is truly dead on December 31st, 2020]], where the remake is announced to be released in 2021.[[/labelnote]]

** How to make Cú Chulainn survive: have him not be a Lancer.[[labelnote:Explanation]]The first version of Cú Chulainn that appears in ''Fate/Grand Order'' is him as a Caster, and he proceeds to not only defeat every Servant he goes up against, but even survives to the end of the story arc as the "winner" of that Holy Grail War. Compare this to every other appearance Cú Chulainn has made across the franchise, in which he is a Lancer, but always ends up dying. This also reminds you that Gae Bolg is a [[CursedWithAwesome Cursed]] [[BlessedWithSuck weapon]]. This ends up being a DiscreditedMeme in the wake of ''Anime/FateGrandCarnival'', where not only Cú Chulainn repeats the joke, his Prototype self, his Caster self and the more serious Berserker/Alter self are not excluded from the 'Dying for Carnival comedy' curse.[[/labelnote]]

* "Lancer ga shinda!" "Kono hito de nashi!" [[labelnote:Explanation]]"Lancer Died!" "You aren't human!" In practically every episode poor Cú Chulainn is a CosmicPlaything that dies every episode. The lines itself is also based upon the Japanese Dub of {{WesternAnimation/South Park}}, to be more specific [[TheyKilledKennyAgain the gag involving Kenny's deaths]] further reinforcing his status. This can easily be snowcloned in comics whenever a Servant of other class dies hilariously, and then they replace Lancer in that phrase. Example: "Archer ga shinda!" or "Jeanne ga shinda!"[[/labelnote]]

** Raw Ass [[labelnote:Explanation]]When Lancer throws a full powered Gae Bolg at Archer in ''Unlimited Blade Works'', Archer blocks the shot with Rho Aias. The fandom immediately turned it into a {{Mondegreen}} to match Gay Bulge.[[/labelnote]]

** This evolved into a sarcastic meme in VideoGame/FateGrandOrder regarding the Archer class which has only a few actual archers. The Archer class is given to ranged fighters who don't rely on magecraft, so characters like Billy the Kid (a gun) or Nikola Tesla (science-based lightning) are considered Archers.
*** The sarcasm gets further upon the inclusion of LightNovel/KaraNoKyoukai's Asagami Fujino as an Archer-class Servant, yet she doesn't have anything in her to be an Archer (as she doesn't have a bow or any ranged weapons but has her telekinetic ability as her main method of attack instead), and some believes she fits more as Caster or Avenger instead.

* "Alright, Shirou! Please put your... that! Y... Your [=pOnOs=]! To my... my... Here! .....My [=vagOOO=]!!! And J.. J... JAM IT IN!" [[labelnote:Explanation]]A series of VisualNovel/FateStayNight parody comics makes it a RunningGag that Shirou frequently suffers EntendreFailure when faced with sexual innuendo, and one doujinshi in particular portrays him as ignorant of even basic understanding of the mechanics of sex, requiring this line from Saber. The ''O'''s in the words "penis" and "vagina" are supposed to be circles representing blank-space censorship.[[/labelnote]]

* Unlimited ______ Works. Just fill in the blank with a noun and you can bring up wonders: [[LightNovel/KaraNoKyoukai Unlimited Häagen-Dazs Works]], [[Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica Unlimited Musket Works, Unlimited Every Military Weapon Works]], and of course, Unlimited Blade Works. Bonus points if you created a special chant to go along with it.

* [[LightNovel/KaraNoKyoukai Touko]] is a dirty red [[JustForFun/CandleJack bi-]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]Calling Touko "[[BerserkButton dirty red]]" (reminding her that [[SiblingRivalry her sister Aoko]] [[AlwaysSomeoneBetter got the title "Blue" that Touko wanted]]) results in the poster being KilledMidSentence.[[/labelnote]]

** [[Manga/MahouSenseiNegima Asuna Kagurazaka:]] "I've been always worried about when he would get injured, of if he would get killed... But now he won't die even if "he" is killed."

** [[VisualNovel/NewDanganRonpaV3 Maki Harukawa:]] "He's stupid enough to get himself killed, but I know he won't really die."

* [[VisualNovel/FateStayNight Tohsaka's anus.]] [[labelnote:Explanation]] A...[[{{Narm}} particularly memorable line]] from the H-scene in the ''Unlimited Blade Works'' route, seen [[http://imgur.com/a/6YJGI here, along with a selection of other narmtastic Nasu quotes]] (NSFW). This line is one of the several usually trotted out to support "Nasu can't write sex" as seen above.[[/labelnote]]
** Defenseless [[labelnote:Explanation]]How said anus was described in the cutscene. It's since been spread out to apply to Rin in general as well as her pseudo-Servant incarnations.[[/labelnote]]

** Defenseless [[labelnote:Explanation]]How said anus was described in the cutscene. It's since been spread out to apply to Rin in general as well as any of her derivatives.[[/labelnote]]

* "I ask of you: Are you my Master?" [[labelnote:Explanation]]This is mainly the first line EVERY servant states when they are summoned in ALL Fate series. Most notable during Saber's summoning in ''VisualNovel/FateStayNight'' and ''LightNovel/FateZero''.[[/labelnote]]

** The anime is ''Unlimited Budget Works''.[[labelnote:Explanation]]Due to the {{VisualEffectsOfAwesome}}ness by Creator/{{ufotable}}, people joke they've got unlimited funds for any of their works.[[/labelnote]]

** The anime is ''Unlimited Budget Works''.

* "Kirei Kotomine is best girl/waifu" / "Where's Kirei Kotomine's Route?".[[labelnote:Explanation]]The ''Fate'' series has prominent emphasis and fandom on attractive female characters. Kotomine is jokingly called a waifu for his [[ManlyMan badassery]], being a MemeticBadass for every other meme he's listed on here for, and being one of the main characters who has a significant relationship to Shirou.[[/labelnote]]

* ''[[{{Earworm}} Kimi to isshou ga ichiban~!]]''[[labelnote:Explanation]]the opening line of ''Super ☆ Affection'', Carnival Phantasm's ridiculously catchy OP.[[/labelnote]]

*** To add insult to injury, the [[spoiler: former Grand]] Archer turns out to use mostly his fists to destroy enemies.

* Local Priest Refuses to Give Man's Girlfriend An Abortion.[[labelnote:Explanation]]Final act of ''Heaven's Feel'' being summed as this since the entire route is [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything an analogy for sexual abuse]], which is then topped off by Kirei refusing to let Shirou stop Angra Mainyu from being "born" from Sakura.[[/labelnote]]
