Second Division Captain of the Shinsengumi

^{Second Ascension}

^{Third Ascension}

^{Final Ascension}

Voiced by: Masaya Fukinishi

"I am Nagakura Shinpachi. Yup, as in the second unit captain of the Shinsengumi. Don't worry - despite my looks, my blade ain't the least bit rusty. C'mon, why would I lie? I used to be one of the best swordsmen amongst my peers. Kukakakaka! I'll show 'em whippersnappers a fight. ――― A real sword fight, that is."

The Second Unit Captain of The Shinsengumi, who was born to Nagakura Kanji, a retainer of the Matsumae clan. He was a master of the Shindo-munen the same style as their leader, Serizawa Kamo.

Considered the strongest among the Shinsengumi that there was a saying that goes, "First is Nagakura, Second is Okita and Third is Saito." His style of rushing headfirst with only a sword earned him the nickname, Gamushin.

He left the Shinsengumi after he got tired of being treated as a retainer and wanted to be seen as equal by the higher ups. Only Nagakura and Saito were the ones who lived to see the Meiji Era.

While Servants are usually summoned on their prime, he is summoned as both an old man and as when he was in his Shinsengumi days.

Alternate Character Reading: His father used the kanji 長, meaning long, for the Naga part of Nagakura,長倉, Shinpachi later changed it to 永, meaning eternity, making it 永倉.
Ascended Extra: He was originally mentioned in Okita's My Room line for Hijikata alongside Saito Hajime, before finally making his debut in "GUDAGUDA Super Goryokaku".
Backwards Aging: He visibly gets younger with each Ascension, culminating in his Third and Final Ascension returning him to his Shinsengumi days.
Character Catchphrase: "WHO'RE YOU CALLIN' AN OLD MAN!?" comes up a lot.
Covered with Scars: Has several visible scars with one most prominent on his face, and he takes pride in them as proof that he fought for his country.
Critical Hit Class: Much like his fellow Shinsengumi Berserker Hijikata, Nagakura's kit is built around generating stars and using them to land powerful Buster crits on his enemies. One of his skills even gains him extra stars from being attacked.
Dual Age Modes: Shinpachi possesses two Spirit Origins - one in his younger form and one in his aged form - noted in his profile to be the manifestation of his own self-contradictions.
Force and Finesse: Contrasting Okita's elegant rapid-fire swordplay and Saito's Confusion Fu, Nagakura's style is about overwhelming power with simple, but ruthlessly effective strikes. When he's not outright punching his opponents or clubbing them with the hilt of his sword, that is.
Master Swordsman: His style may not be as fancy as Saito or Okita's, but Nagakura was their peer for a reason.
Messy Hair: His Third Ascension has a big mess of white hair.
Mr. Exposition: A large portion of information regarding the Shinsengumi today came from Shinpachi's interviews and memoirs in Real Life, which his profile acknowledged.
Nice Guy: Is noted to be actually a kind man and loved by his soldiers. This ended up being the reason he left the Shinsengumi, as he objected to Kondo being treated as a vassal and not an equal.
Power Makes Your Hair Grow: His hair grows longer with each Ascension, from a close cropped look in First Ascension to one big pile of Messy Hair in Third Ascension.
Progressively Prettier: In addition to being returned to his younger age, Nagakura's Second Ascension puts him in a jacket and ripped jeans that are much more flattering to his figure.
Retired Badass: His First Ascension is an old man in casual clothes and slippers, seemingly a reference to his normal civilian life as a pharmacist after surviving the Bakumatsu period.
Screw This, I'm Outta Here: He and Saito left the Shinsengumi for separate reasons - Nagakura objecting to the treatment of Kondo Isami as a vassal rather than an equal, while Saito didn't see the point in continuing to fight what he considered a losing war.
Silver Fox: He looks just as handsome in his old age and his first ascension is essentially his later ascensions with some wrinkles.
Sole Survivor: Just like Saito, Nagakura also survived the Meiji Restoration and lived well into his old age, even dying the same year as Saito.
Stuff Blowing Up: His strikes aren't just laced with flame, they're outright combustible. One wonders if he wasn't coating his sword in nitroglycerin.
Sword Cane: The first ascension's cane hides a curved blade, which comes out in his Noble Phantasm and a few other animations.
You Will Not Evade Me: His Noble Phantasm removes evade buff before it lands, ensuring that the enemy cannot prevent damage from his Noble Phantasm with evasion.

Oda Nobunaga (Berserker)

Nobunaga the Rock n' Roll

^{Second Ascension}

^{Third Ascension}

^{Final Ascension}

^{April Fool's}

^{April Fool's Fate/Grail League}

Voiced by: Rie Kugimiya

"YEAAAAAAAH! Are you all pumped up!? I am the Demon King of the Sixth Heaven of the Beach... That's right! Nobunaga THE Rock 'n Roller! Eh? What part is rockin', you ask? A summer swimsuit means ROCK! Obviously! It's all about the feeling, you know? Don't think too hard… Just feel! My class is Berserker. Rockin' to meetcha!"

Lavishly rocking the summer trends of Owari, the Demon King of the Sixth Heaven, Oda Nobunaga, arrives the beach like thunder! One would think she'd be a bit embarrassed by that lame t-shirt, even if she's promising awesome ascensions, though...

First announced during FGO 2nd Anniversary Fest, she appears in the second Summer event, "Dead Heat Summer Race / Death Jail Summer Escape", teaming up with Mysterious Heroine X to form team Killer Demon King of the Xth Heaven.

Aborted Declaration of Love: Implied during her Valentine's Day event. She gets uncharacteristically serious and prepares to say something under a romantic sunset before deciding against it.
Nobunaga: Hey...Master...Never mind. What's been done is done...I guess it's time to head back.
Player: ...What were you about to say?
Nobunaga: ...Nothing. Maybe another time.
Ascended Meme: She's wearing a t-shirt with a Buster attack design, which first appeared in a livestream, in fanart... and was also made into a real shirt you can buy.
Balance Buff: She's the third Summer Servant^noteafter Martha and Altria Alter to have received a Rank Up Quest. Her Noble Phantasm not only deals more damage, but also creates a [Burning] field, giving her natural synergy with her third skill which grants an additional buff on [Burning] fields.
Beware the Silly Ones: It's Oda Nobunaga in a swimsuit and she usually acts about as serious as that suggests. However, it's still Oda Nobunaga, who's more than capable of laying a serious beatdown when prompted. This gets driven home in GUGDAGUDA Final Honnoji, where at first she drops Chaldea's guard by throwing a rock party for her Kabuki Nobbus, but she then triggers her Anti-Divine Bounded Field, cripples Nagao Kagetora, and proceeds to fight them all in a burning wasteland still accompanied by her Kabuki Nobbus. She also figured out the threat of High Priest Makuzu before anyone else did. Maxwell's Demon even admits she's much more devious than her appearance suggests.
Critical Hit Class: She has some aspects of this: Her second skill grants a continual supply of up to 10 Critical Stars per turn for 5 turns on an 8-turn cooldown, while her third skill gives a massive 1-turn Critical Star Gather buff to let her actually use those Stars (with an unusually low cooldown of merely 4 turns at max rank). Combined with her high hit counts, she can keep the party supplied with Stars even though she will rarely use them herself.
Flaming Hair: Similar to her brother Nobukatsu, her third Ascension has her hair set on fire.
A Fool and Her New Money Are Soon Parted: If she and MHX win the Dead Heat Summer Race, Nobbu ends up bringing back almost no prize money (QP) back to her GUDAGUDA roommates. They spent most of the money to repair the Demon King of the V6 Heaven after it got wrecked in the winning sprint (remodeling it to the V8 Du Stallion III) and producing rock music CDs that almost no one bought. Okita and Chacha are furious since it wasn't even her money to spend, as she emptied both the Shinsengumi's and Chacha's savings "on loan" to fund the racecar / rocketship.
Fourth-Wall Observer: More than other events, Nobbu is mostly a commentary Breaking the Fourth Wall on the summer event; about half of her dialogue is meta jokes, while the other half are historic throwback jokes to her actual life and other people. In her Team Formation cutscene before the event, she starts off by Ascending into her summer form, talking about her welfare Servant status, wondering why she's still just a 4* Servant, and promising that by embezzling from her KOHA-ACE friends to pay for this outfit she can become a "world-famous Nobbu star" and start another GUDAGUDA event. She even talks about her vanishing animation when she seemingly "dies" to her friends, and both her and Mysterious Heroine X shout at the narrator when he starts a black-and-white preview of what's to come and almost spoiling the event.
Fun Personified: Even moreso than her Archer self, if that were even possible. Nobbu revels in the fact she's a gag character and blatantly remarks on the fact she was originally "just" a welfare. She even states she's long given up any hope of being taken seriously.
Guardian Entity: Nobbu furthers previous revelations about how Reality Marbles can be used, this time revealing they can be released in a limited form as this trope ala Stands and Nobunaga's Reality Marble, Demon King of the Sixth Heaven, manifests as a giant flaming skeleton.
Hidden Buxom: Her military uniform conceals a decent-sized pair, which she can enlarge by using her Demon King of the Sixth Heaven skill. She lampshades this once the player's bond with her is high enough and is quite proud of her bust. Though, it is implied they were enlarged by said skill in her Berserker form according to supplemental material.
Nobunaga: "As a side-effect, my chest also feels a bit bigger but, could it be my imagination?"
Horrible Judge of Character: She considers Mysterious Heroine X to a completely trustworthy individual to partner up with, all while being well aware of her Saber-murdering issues. She even claims that she's a great judge of character, while noting off in an aside Micchi doesn't count. In the second half of the event, she elaborately pins Gorgon as a Tsundere and later Enkidu as a bomb-hiding, riot-starting criminal mastermind, being mostly wrong on both accounts (Gorgon did end up helping the party and Enkidu was locked up because Medb thought the same).
Gorgon: "...Heh. Hahahaha!"
Nobunaga: "Oh, I know what that laugh means! You're pretending to be happy about seeing us go to desperate, doomed lengths to escape... all while secretly planning to give us 100% reliable information out of the kindness of your heart!"
Improvised Weapon: She uses a huge guitar as an axe, which also functions as a chainsaw. Which she can ride upon like a lawnmower. All in all, it's really cool.
Kamehame Hadoken: Her Extra Attack has her launching a fireball from her hands in this manner. She can even throw out a Shout-Out to Dragon Ball.
Nobunaga: "No... Bu... Na... Ga... HAH!!!"
Large Ham: It's Nobbu, so natch. Turned up to eleven when she uses her Noble Phantasm as she screams out its name.
Mood-Swinger: She generally acts even more hyperactive and wild than normal Nobbu, but occasionally she quiets down and sounds genuinely serious rather than like a squeaky joke (Something that also happened to her normal self, but far less frequently, and usually not mid-sentence like it does here). It brings to mind her niece suddenly speaking as her adult self rather than the child she appears to be. Her Bond 5 line is also soft-spoken and quite suggestive.
Playing with Fire:
- The skeleton she summons is on fire.
- Her limbs end up catching fire in her later ascensions.
- Her third skill buffs her attack when in an area that's on fire.
Power Dyes Your Hair: By her third Ascension, her hair changes from black to deep red, which goes great with the flames she's spouting off her limbs.
The Power of Rock: She uses her guitar to deliver some sick riffs and also summon a flaming giant skeleton to punch the enemy.
Punny Name: The reason she's an axe^noteslang for electric guitar wielding berserker? She is the DAI-ROCK-TEN MAOH, after all.
Rapid-Fire Fisticuffs: Her NP has her summon a skeleton to launch this attack on the enemy.
Rasputinian Death: After learning that she squandered all their savings to create her guitar, the entire GUDAGUDA cast introduced up to the point of the second Summer event mercilessly attack her with the intent to kill. She survives this by faking her death, but she's ultimately cornered by Okita during her ending.
Rockers Smash Guitars: She doesn't just smash her guitar, the guitar in question is sawing, flaming and can summon a massive skeleton.
Rule of Cool: She has an axe that is also a guitar, a turntable, and needs to be revved up like a chainsaw in order to summon a giant flaming skeleton for her NP, which she controls by shredding the guitar like a rockstar. Does any of this make sense? Nope. Is it awesome as hell? YES.
Situational Sword: Her Noble Phantasm, Nobunaga THE Rock 'n' Roll, deals additional damage against [Divine] enemies. Her third skill, Sixth Heaven Demon King of the Beach, also grants a bonus power-up on herself when used in [Burning] stages. Her upgraded Noble Phantasm allows her to create a [Burning] field, making her third skill more reliable.
Stripperific: She discards her shirt at her second Ascension, and then throws off her coat at her third one to leave her in only her bikini. That said, since her style throughout is less swim-wear model and more "flaming guardian rock-star", it's actually quite tasteful.
Took a Level in Badass:
- Not quite to Caster Nero's level (where the whole point is that, despite looking like a jokey fanservice swimsuit Servant, she's actually in a much more appropriate class and thus gets a substantial jump in power), but still there - the gimmick with Summer Nobbu is that, for all the humor, she's actually making limited use of her true Noble Phantasm, as "Nobunaga THE ROCK'N'ROLL" is basically a weaponized version of her Reality Marble "Demon King of the Sixth Heaven" and is absolutely devastating to any kind of Divine Servant. Once you max out her profile, it even notes that, despite the humorous facade, Berserker's actually a pretty dangerous class for Nobbu and she's capable of burning herself away if she's not careful, something that her Archer form has rarely used.
- Also, purely on a gameplay front, her second skill, Atsumori Beat, is basically a budget version of Merlin's Noble Phantasm. It's not as powerful, sure, and it's got a fairly hefty cooldown, but it's certainly leagues better than any skill she had as an Archer and can be deployed whenever you want.
Tsundere: Although nowhere near the levels usual for Rie Kugimiya's characters, Nobbu in this form definitely has her moments. Like in her Bond 4 line denying that protagonist holding her hand made her blush.
Yōkai: That giant skeleton of hers is a Gashadokuro; a massive undead giant created from large amounts of death caused by war or famine.

Sakata Kintoki

Kintarou of Mount Ashigara

^{Second Ascension}

^{Third Ascension}

^{Final Ascension}

^{Heian Warrior Attire}

^{Formal Outfit}

^{April Fool's}

^{April Fool's Fate/Grail League}

Voiced by: Koji Yusa

"Ohh, nice to meet you! I am sorry to trouble you for now. Just call me Golden."

Known as "Kintarou" as a child, his popularity in Japan rivals Momotarou. A rowdy, insolent and dangerous man but also a righteous, honorable fellow with deep passion. A child of a red dragon who was a god of thunder. His mother was a man-eating mountain witch that lived in Mt. Ashigara. After his parents' deaths, Kintoki was adopted by Minamoto no Yorimitsu. He became a retainer and one of Yorimitsu's Big Four, the strongest mystery killer of the Heian Period.

A long time ago, Sakata Kintoki once fell in love with a beautiful oni named Shuten-douji. Kintoki regrets tricking her and wishes for her revival.

He was first released in the 4 Million Downloads campaign gacha and is a minor ally in London. He is the main companion for the Rashomon event. He later appears as the main ally of the "Hell Realm Mandala, Heiankyo" chapter.

11th-Hour Ranger: He shows up in London's final act due to being summoned by Tesla's lightning acting as a catalyst in the fog. Once Tesla helpfully informs him of his goal (being the incineration of London and by extension humanity), Kintoki chooses to take him on, inadvertently buying time for the protagonist, Mash and Mordred to catch up and face off with Tesla again.
Abhorrent Admirer: He's drawn to Frankenstein because she reminds him of Shuten-Douji, but for her he's just another electricity wasting jerk.
Advertised Extra: Despite being a rate-up Servant for the Setsubun event and even receiving an animation renewal, he only appears in one cutscene throughout the event, where it's revealed that he's resting in the onsen all the time because the tiring effects of the Oni Pagoda is multiple times stronger on him, making it impossible for him to climb up. The reason for is that if he and Shuten-Douji face each others as enemies, they would seriously try to kill each other. Kintoki gets the message that Shuten doesn't want a fight to the death with him. After the event's story is cleared, Kintoki can be challenged as the Final Boss of the mirage pagoda.
A Form You Are Comfortable With: According to his profile, "His outrageous appearance, much unlike a typical hero, is from being dyed by the present age upon his summoning." He does get a more historically appropriate appearance as part of "Heiankyo"'s launch, which comes in the form of a costume as a reward for completing a special quest.
Animation Bump: Setsubun 2018 streamlined his sprite's bodily proportions, updated his battle attacks with more lightning and flashier moves—and Golden Spark's Noble Phantasm animation also incorporated a craggy battlefield near-similar to the settings of the Onigashima event.
Arc Hero: Of Lostbelt 5.5 Heian-Kyo, being the protagonist's primary ally throughout.
Attention Deficit... Ooh, Shiny!: He likes flashy and shiny things, especially gold.
Badass Longcoat: His Third Ascension art gives him an fur-lined coat, which is normally worn in fiction (and sometimes in Real Life) by Yakuza/mob bosses, boxers and/or by Hip-Hop artists.
Balance Buff: He received a Rank Up Quest for the "Heian Capital" Pre-Release Campaign that not only buffs his NP damage, but also reduces the target's Buster Resistance by 30% for two turns. This of course turning him into an even harder hitter than he was before, especially if he manages to Buster Brave Chain either with his NP or the following turn.
Blasphemous Boast: He declares that he'd punch out the thunder god for his Master once you get him to Bond Level 5.
"Don't worry 'bout a thing. Give me your orders, Master. I'll make whatever you wanna happen, happen. I, Sakata Kintoki, would even punch the thunder god himself for you."
- In "Lostbelt No. 5: Interstellar Mountainous City, Olympus", he proves good on his word when he uses a Giant Mecha to punch Zeus in the face.
Blood Knight: Per his own statements, he loves to fight and really only lives to fight.
Breakout Character: He was so popular because of his in-game power, he even got an alternate self as a Rider that wasn't in the game's initial datamined lineup and starred in the two raid events. This culminated in the Lostbelt 5.5 "Heian-Kyo" story arc where he's the central protagonist of the story.
Calling Your Attacks: His Noble Phantasms' descriptions lampshade that they are activated with "suspicious" true names, and that Golden Eater probably has a different name.
Catchphrase: He says "gold and "golden" a lot about everything, even renaming his Noble Phantasms to include this word, with his profile noting that they probably weren't originally called that.
Celibate Hero: Kintoki gets flustered around girls with revealing clothes like Tamamo, Shuten-Douji, and Ushiwakamaru. Even Mash's snug bodysuit flusters him!
Chick Magnet: Shuten-douji is obviously interested in him, and the feeling is apparently mutual. Astraea is also left stuttering and blushing when he takes her judgment of him head-on.
Cuteness Proximity: He has a thing for teddy bears and gushes at the thought of having one.
"There are bear stuffed animals, right? Little ones. The one they sell in your time. Those things are so golden cute...!"
A Day in the Limelight:
- He's your guide/companion for the Rashomon event and his Rider form has one in the Onigashima event. Both go into his relationships with people he knew in life.
- In the main story, he is unambiguously the leading man of "Heiankyo" in Cosmos in the Lostbelt.
Desperately Looking for a Purpose in Life: We hear the internal monologue of his past self (more or less) during "Hell Realm Mandala, Heiankyo", just being a Barbarian Hero, "Laugh, rampage, eat, sleep" is empty. By the end he comes up with an answer, he'll be a hero for people.
Dumb Is Good: Fitting with his shonen anime protagonist character, he admits he's not that intelligent and is very kind and heroic.
Dumb Muscle: He knows full well and admits he's this, saying that among things he doesn't like it's things he's not good at that get him the most since he can't think very deeply.
Eagleland: Tamamo considers him a Type 2 due to his fashion sense, interests, and general behavior in spite of how he's from Japan. In general, his aesthetic is supposed to imitate a "tasteless noveau riche foreigner" look associated with delinquency.
Elite Four: The most prominent member of the Trope Codifier in Japanese culture, alongside his fellow shitennō under Raikou's command. That said, they are each the protagonists of their own tales, instead of supporting characters or high-tier antagonists working under a Big Bad as the "Four Heavenly Kings" usually are in modern fiction.
Friend to All Children: He is a "hero of the children", and extremely protective of them. Notably, in the Heiankyo singularity, the tales of Kintarou are so popular with the children of Japan that his mere presence makes Nursery Rhyme stronger.
"What do I like? Kids, I guess. Kids've gotta be protected!"
Friend to All Living Things: He has a special love for animals and can speak to them. Since they're still just animals, this is limited to very general information, though.
Glass Cannon: Even among Berserkers he has this going on. Until Cú Chulainn Alter and Jeanne Alter came out, he had the highest ATK in the game and currently stands (along with Musashi Summer) at the fourth-highest among all Servants, and his skills revolve around increasing his ATK, filling his NP Gauge to use his powerful single-target Buster NP, and increasing his resistance to ATK debuffs. On the other hand, he has no skills that promote survivability outside of the heal his third skill grants. Because of this, Kintoki is rarely used for long battles (unless players use the buff stacking strategy), but he's excellent in raid battles and boss fights with no Break Bars, where fast and powerful burst damage is highly desired.
Going Native: Kintoki shouldn't be a Human-attribute Servant. After all, as the son of a storm dragon and a flesh-eating mountain hag, he's barely human at all. But, because he chose to live his life as a human being instead of a god or a monster, he fits this mold.
Gold Fever: He tells his Master to call him "Golden" rather than his real name because he thinks it has a nice ring to it. His profile even takes breaks every three lines or so to remark "to change the subject a bit, his favorite X is Golden Y".
[referring to the Holy Grail] "If it's gold, it can't be bad. Whatever it's like on the inside, the outside is awesome!"
Gratuitous English: Even outside his usual "Golden" catchphrase, he likes to drop some Engrish in just about everything he says. He did not do this in life (though Heiankyo's Kintoki quickly picks up Golden after meeting the Chaldea crew), so like his outfit it's probably something he picked up as a Heroic Spirit in his quest for the Rule of Cool.
Hair of Gold, Heart of Gold: Golden-haired Kintoki is a kind, outgoing man who is a Friend to All Children and despises evil in all its forms. He's wholesome, loves his adoptive mother Raikou, and gets along easily with any Master who desires a relationship as equals.
Happily Adopted: He was born to a monster woman and a thunder god before being taken in by Raikou. While he finds her insistence on politeness and courtly manners smothering at times, he dearly loves and respects her as both his adoptive mother and "Boss Raikou". As a result, he's endlessly loyal to her and burns away her nightmares with the beating of his thunder drums. He also interrupted her suicide attempt by knocking her out, and opposes Ushi Gozen to restore Raikou's sanity during the events of "Onigashima".
The Heart: In his backstory, he's the one who originally pulled Raikou back from becoming Ushi Gozen.
Heroic Build: If you thought Siegfried, Leonidas, Romulus, Heracles, EMIYA and Gilgamesh were fine masculine specimens in this game, Kintoki seems to be as good a competition. This is a component of his Natural Body skill.
Hidden Depths: He has a favorite novelist (it's Jin Yong). Although it's possible it's just because the author has the character for gold in his name.
Huge Guy, Tiny Girl: With Shuten-Douji, his on-and-off love interest; she stands at least two heads shorter than him. Granted, her original form was larger.
Humanity Ensues: Being humanoid is no big deal for Servants; but Kintoki is the child of a god (a thunderclap implied to be Raijin) and a demon (a mountain hag); there is nothing human about his origin. Yet he is a stalwart defender of not just the lives of humans, but their very way of life. We see his past self make this decision during "Heiankyo." He also had the Homindae trait, which usually is only for humans.
Humongous Mecha: Originally hinted by his Rider version, Kintoki has a mecha he calls Golden Huge Bear he wants to show you one day. Actual name of Settsu Armor Kumano and possibly built out of the drifted remains of Ares' Aletheia body, it was used to take down the Great Tsuchigumo and was Kintoki's trump card against Ibuki-Douji. It finally appears in Olympus, created by using Rider Kintoki's Spirit Core and piloted by the digitalized memory of him.
Ideal Hero:
- Essentially a shonen anime protagonist. He likes big things, cool things and strong things, he loves a good fight, he is protective of women and children, and he is extremely easy to have as a Servant if the Master is one who desires a relationship as equals. It is in fact the reason why he was not used when Apocrypha became a novel series: Fran was already picked for the Black side due to plot reasons, and he's just too honest and morally straightforward to ever go with the Red's plans. In London, he's only summoned by accident and immediately decides to fight Tesla to prevent humanity's destruction.
- In Astraea's interlude, he appears in her dream world as an opponent representing the Golden Age of man. Rather than shirk under her judgment, he offers to take her head on in a wrestling match, leaving the goddess of justice shocked by his sheer heroic disposition.
- In "Hell Realm Mandala, Heiankyo", he choses to fight against Watanabe-no-Tsuna after just meeting the Protagonist and an injured Danzo, even with the respect he has for him, because he can't stand the sight of someone hurting woman and children. Danzo even notes internally that as soon as he saw the two, he had already made up his mind to defend them.
Idiot Hero: He's aware that he isn't much of a thinker and would much rather be pointed in the direction of evildoers to beat down than engage in philosophy or tactics. At the same time, he can be surprisingly perceptive and is good at reading people's intentions.
"I'm kinda dumb. I can't think too deep."
Love Hurts: He killed Shuten-Douji after they fell in love with each other. As such, he is very vulnerable to romance and bad with women. He gets really mopey when Tamamo jokingly flirts with him in London and then declares that she already loves someone else, and acts awkward around Mash who he thinks has a Dangerous Bust.
Manchild: His mental age is sometimes on par with a grade schooler's.
Minor Injury Overreaction: Unlike other Berserkers, Kintoki is not constantly under the effects of Mad Enhancement. Instead, a Luck Check is performed whenever he takes damage, and if it fails he Turns Red and the skill kicks in.
Morality Chain: He's arguably the closest to Raikou of all her Four Heavenly Kings, having been raised by her as her son and being privy to all of her darkest secrets. Because of this, he understands her better than anyone and is always there to rein in her worst tendencies around the protagonist, be it through words or by force. The Samurai Remnant collab also reveals that Raikou was a ruthless killing machine prior to meeting Kintoki, but regained her lost humanity after meeting him and fulfilling her desire to be a mother by taking care of him.
Nice Guy: He's a very open and friendly Servant, taking special care of his Master's needs and defending women and children. When he learns that it's his Master's birthday, he instantly offers to treat them to a meaty meal.
No Shirt, Long Jacket: In his Third ascension.
Occult Blue Eyes: Ibuki-Douji specifically draws her attention to his blue eyes when they meet in Heian-kyo, wondering if they were altered. Kintoki states they were like this since he was born but has no idea which parent he inherited them from. Wider Nasuverse lore implies that Ibuki is intrigued by his eyes because they're Pure Eyes, the same type carried by the Nanaya family.
Power Creep:
- While he was quite valued early on due to his insanely high attack power^note, due to his lack of defensive skills or a skill that grants Evade/Guts, he's fallen relatively out of favor in comparison to Berserkers such as Cú Chulainn Alter (as he's more capable of surviving on his own), his boss Raikou (since she's more capable of dealing with both mobs and bosses), or Hijitaka (since, due to his NP's particular quirk, he will tend to out-damage Kintoki even at lower NP levels). Even still, his relative ease of use and instant burst potential with his Animal Communication skill ensures that he'll remain highly sought after for raid events and boss-killing.
- Eventually Averted. The "Board Game Apocalypse" event marked the debut of 90+ missions with enemy compositions not following the traditional 3-enemies-per-wave format, with one wave containing a single enemy. Kintoki sees a resurgence in use as the best unit for dealing with the single enemy wave in said missions owing to his Berserker class giving him flexibility, high damage and especially the NP gauge charge of Animal Communication giving him the freedom to use any Craft Essence he wants - an advantage that none of his aforementioned competitors possess.
Raised by Rival: Kintoki's mountain hag of a mother was killed by Raikou's retainer, Usui Sadamitsu, after which Raikou made him her retainer and adoptive son. Kintoki doesn't really seem to mind the arrangement.
Red Baron: Golden Boy of Mt. Ashigara.
Real Men Wear Pink: Appears to be wearing pink underwear, his shades are tinted pink, and his Heian-era outfit has pink incorporated into it.
Running Gag:
- Each section of his profile, after describing information about him as a Servant, will randomly mention one of his favorite things which in some way has gold in its name.
- He gets easily flustered against female Servants in revealing clothes.
Semi-Divine: His father was the God of Thunder in dragon form, but his mother was a man-eating witch so his Divinity rank is very low.
Serrated Blade of Pain: His Golden Eater has a jagged edge which can function like an electric saw.
She Cleans Up Nicely: Kintoki's garish attire, bowl cut, and thick shades don't do him many favors despite being recognized as a Hunk in-universe and out. But his Heian Warrior Attire styles his hair into a warrior's ponytail, takes off the shades to reveal his deep blue eyes, and leaves him a Walking Shirtless Scene with a cool armored igote. All in all, the outfit is much more flattering to Kintoki.
Shirtless Scene: His final ascension art shows him without his shirt. Though, his previous two did have an open shirt.
Shock and Awe: As he is a descendant of a lightning god.
Simple, yet Awesome: As an early release Servant, Kintoki has a very simple kit comparing to later Berserkers - a simple attack up, NP gauge charge, and a self heal. What makes him awesome is his high damage output and the ability to rush out a NP thanks to his Animal Communication skill makes him an excellent unit for day-to-day grinding situations where most enemies lack break bars.
Smarter Than You Look: Despite his lacking education and childish mindset, there's a sort of wild wisdom to Kintoki, and he understands his boss/"mother" Raikou's quirks and difficulties very well. He is many times able to figure out what's going on during the Rashomon and Onigashima events.
Smoking Is Cool: Seen with a cigarette in his First and Final Ascension. He also takes a drag during his updated skill animation.
Speaks Fluent Animal: Kintoki can talk to animals to a limited degree, and it's one of his skills, Animal Communication. Though in-game it fills his NP gauge instead.
Spin Attack: After his animation revamp, one of his attacks is a spinning attack he called "Golden Typhoon".
Spoiled Sweet: Many can tell that he "grew up pampered" after his adoption, but he remains a kind and genuinely heroic man nonetheless.
Stock Shōnen Hero: He is heavily designed after this archetype. Strong sense of morality, not much of a thinker, brave and honorable to the point of recklessness, born with gifts that he developed through determination and training, childish and preoccupied with coolness, not a big fan of romance... it's all there. In fact, this was the reason he was cut from Fate/Apocrypha, he was such a heroic character that he would have never worked with either faction.
Sunglasses at Night: He is never seen without his shades. Though other characters have stated that he has blue eyes. It's only averted with his Heian-era outfit, which is primarily shown in "Heiankyo". Lampshaded upon obtaining it in his My Room lines.
"Huh? 'This is the first time I've seen your eyes without sunglasses?' Seriously?!"
Throwing Your Sword Always Works: He throws his axe to the enemy followed by a rushing lightning punch.
Tsundere: While he remembers fondly his time with Shuten-Douji and in his own way respects her, whenever the two of them are around in the same place he ends up yelling and blushing all the time.
Turns Red: Kintoki's Mad Enhancement is only applied if he fails a Luck check after being attacked. If it does fail he goes wild. This is reflected with his second ascension and beyond as his arms turn red.
The Unishment: Ibuki-Douji (Larval) met him back when he was still feral (crawling on all fours, unable to talk). He was starving and she teased him that he even considered her appetizing. After having a Sumo Contest (and Kintaro losing) she cursed him never to eat "that which is shaped like himself" ie oni or humans.
Walking Shirtless Scene: His Heian-era outfit has him almost completely shirtless as even his token bit of armor doesn't even completely fit over his left chest.
Warrior Poet: Subverted. He confesses that he only read poetry and went to plays during his life because those were the trendiest things a young man could enjoy at the time. Now in the modern day, Kintoki has no wish to indulge in these more "classic" pastimes.
What Beautiful Eyes!: He has deep blue eyes beneath his bright pink shades, and one of the first things the protagonist notices about Kintoki in his Heian Warrior Attire is that they've never seen his eyes before. Staring into them for the first time renders the protagonist speechless. Shuten also lists his eyes as an identifying feature of the man she fancies.
Wild Child: He was born the offspring of a storm god in the form of a dragon and a flesh-eating mountain hag, then raised by wild monkeys. This is why he can talk to wild animals, and why he's both righteous and somewhat awkward.
Wolverine Publicity: Bar none, the most popular member of Raikou's "Four Heavenly Kings", and the first to appear in the game as a result.
The Worf Effect: When he shows up in London as an 11th-Hour Ranger, he's pretty much the strongest ally Servant on your side aside from Mordred, to the point he's able to stalemate the Mad-Enhancement-powered Tesla with Tamamo's help and clear away the lightning-charged fog surrounding and protecting his opponent so as to open him up to the protagonist's second attack later. Solomon one-shots him at the climax of the arc just to further hit home how strong he is and how little effort he put in the earlier "fight".
Worthy Opponent: Shuten-Douji. During Rashomon after the protagonist sees Kintoki's memories through a dream he mentions that no matter when or under what circumstances they fought they always fought each other to a draw, be it fighting at full power or simply sparring with some kind of wager down on it just for fun. This actually got under Raikou's skin quite a great deal.
Yakuza: Ironically enough, despite his kindhearted nature, he carries the bearing (and gaudy fashion sense) of a powerful mob boss. His early design was derived from a mob boss.

The Daughter of Herodias

"I'm Salome! Salome, the daughter of Herodias. You must be my Master. Nice to meet you. ...Hey, do you like kisses?"

Salome was the stepdaughter of Jewish ruler governor Herod Antipas. An excellent dancer, she impressed Herod with her dance that he would grant her anything she desired. Based on the influence of her own mother Herodias, Salome gave her request: the head of John the Baptist on a platter. Despite Herod respecting John, who was imprisoned by him, he had no choice but to honor her request, with Salome presenting it to her mother.

Originally, she was just a bit character, not even given her name by her origins. However, there was later a famous portrayal that expanded her role into a much more devious character and gave her the name 'Salome'. Her request of John the Baptist's (in the play, named as 'Jochanaan') head was not purely out of her mother's request, but partially on her own whims. She proceeded to kiss the beheaded head of John, which creeped out even Herod who ordered her execution posthaste.

She is introduced as one of seven bronze-rarity Servants released in the fourth Anniversary event. She made her main story debut as a supporting character in "Parting Memory Manifestation Realms, Traum".

Affectionate Nickname: She tends to call John the Baptist "Jochanaan", his name from the opera play, itself derived from his actual Aramaic name.
Amulet of Concentrated Awesome: Her Noble Phantasm, Femme Fatale Baiser: I Have Kissed Thy Mouth, is the crystallized head of John the Baptist. Since there were legends of him using magic, the skull is a kind of Mystic Code which allows the user to perform various acts of magic without needing Magic Circuits. It can also change its size depending on Salome's needs.
Ancestral Name: Being part of the Herodian Dynasty, she would be the third in the family with the name of "Salome". Her great grandmother/great-aunt being Salome I and her paternal aunt being Salome II.
Ascended Extra: Salome's first mention in the game was during a re-enactment of Mata Hari's past in the Salem Sub-Singularity, where she played as the titular character of the Oscar Wilde theatrical performance. Years later, she ended up debuting as a 2-Star Servant.
Bad with the Bone: Her attacks and Noble Phantasm involve spectral skulls chomping on her opponent.
Bedlah Babe: While certainly dressed like a belly dancer just like you'd expect she would, she never actually dances during gameplay, as she spends the whole time stationary sitting on a giant floating skull.
Cordon Bleugh Chef: Downplayed. As someone who grew up in privilege, she's never had to actually cook for herself in life. So when she tries to make food for the imprisoned protagonist, her first two results are messy and crude with a poorly cut apple and riceballs that taste bad on account of using wheat as a substitute.
Cute and Psycho: She's a pretty woman who adores you, but she's someone you'd definitely want to stay away from if you want to keep your head.
Damage Over Time: Her Noble Phantasm applies a Curse effect for 5 turns with 1000 base damage, but her NP Overcharge effect applies a curse amplification buff scaling from 200% base to 400% — in other words, by herself she does 10,000 Curse damage over 5 turns, she could do up to 20,000 if she somehow had even more Overcharge, and she buffs the Curse effects of all allies during that time.
Difficult, but Awesome: Her third skill, Dance of the Seven Veils, is an interesting skill. It gives her health regen for seven turns and a delayed buff which after seven turn charges party's NP gauge between 50% at level 1 and 100% at level 10. The catch? It also gives her a delayed debuff which cleanses one defense buff^note per turn for seven turns. And it is counted as a buff, meaning that she has to deal with it for the wait. And as a bronze-rarity Berserker, she is really fragile, meaning that you really have to plan out your team so that she can stick around long enough to get the benefit of her skill.
Evil Counterpart: As a fellow low-ranked Femme Fatale dancer Servant, Salome is this for Mata Hari; being the much more creepy and malicious dancer that caused great harm for her own desires (and even killed someone good like John the Baptist), whereas Mata Hari was just dancing and doing the Femme Fatale thing because it was more about making a living and the majority of her targets were considered 'selfish and lustful', not at all innocent or pious. It's made more ironic that Mata Hari's backstory in-universe (as told in the Salem Sub-Singularity) was the first time Salome was mentioned before she became an Ascended Extra.
Femme Fatale: One of the classic representations of one — especially if you consider Oscar Wilde's portrayal of her — a woman who inspires lust in the men around her, even her stepfather, except for John the Baptist.
Glass Cannon: Even more so than most Berserkers, as on top of her low HP as a bronze Servant, she removes defense buffs from herself every turn when her third skill is active.
Has a Type: Lawful Good men, or just good-aligned people in general.
Heroic Sacrifice: In the Traum Singularity. After breaking the Master out of prison and watching her fellow friends and Servants get killed in the escape, she carries the badly injured Master across the border while being near death herself. Instead of going with him or her she turns around to distract Kriemhild's forces to buy Astolfo time to save the Master but gets shot and dies herself.
Heroic Resolve: During her Interlude, it's noted that she's clearing resisting her madness and holding back. When the Protagonist asks if she's okay, Salome replies that she will endure for as long as necessary.
I Love the Dead: She seems to be playing and doing... something else with the skulls surrounding her (especially with her Final Ascension). Do remember that her favorite skull is John the Baptist's, who was beheaded on her say so, and she admits to having kissed him as soon as she received his head.
Improbable Weapon User: Her main weapon besides her magical skulls is a giant plate, presumably the platter on which she received John the Baptist's head. While she mainly uses it by charging it with energy, one of her attacks is to just chuck a whole bunch of plates at the enemy.
Laughing Mad: A few of her battle lines are just maniacal laughter.
A Love to Dismember: She's obsessed with heads, particularly with John the Baptist's head. She's even interested in the protagonist's head. It's eventually revealed through her Bond CE that all the other skulls are the heads of various other masters who've summoned her over the ages. She comes to love them all... and for her, loving someone means wanting their head to keep forever. In her Bond Level 5 line, she cares about the protagonist enough to warn them to make sure she doesn't get their head, and apologizes if she should get overwhelmed by the desire for it in the middle of their journey.
Madden Into Misanthropy: It's noted in her profile that Salome probably wasn't a bad person for most of her life... but, having lost her sanity in order to manipulate her father into killing John the Baptist, she probably was by the end, and it's this version of her that's recorded.
Moment of Lucidity: When helping the Protagonist to escape the Revenge Realm, she starts to see you more and more like Jochanaan before finally snapping, intending to take your head with her. As she ask for any final words before she commits the act, the only response you can give to her is begging her not to kill you. This snaps Salome out of her trance as a real saint would sit down and accept their fate, leading to her trying to carry you to safety without any further complications.
Named by the Adaptation: What makes her unique is that despite her infamy in beheading John the Baptist, she was just a bit character, and was never really named in the Gospel, only called "the daughter of Herodias," (hence the title). The name she was given, "Salome," was from a play by Oscar Wilde. Salome may not even be her actual name.
Odd Friendship: Her Valentine's scene reveals she's made friends with Caster of the Nightless City, who helped her make her chocolates. Salome outright says she wishes she had a friend like her when she was alive.
One Degree of Separation: She is loosely connected to Percival through her mother Herodias, who according to Fate/Requiem would later be known as Kundry, Percival's love.
Power Makes Your Hair Grow: Her hair starts out as being fairly short, though she does have two longer strands of hair that she wears in braids. By her third ascension, the rest of her hair has grown significantly longer.
Single Woman Seeks Good Man: She's infatuated with any Lawful Good Male Servants because they remind her of John the Baptist.
Situational Sword: Her 1st skill and Noble Phantasm gives her extra damage against Lawful Good Servants. This means that she will be a more effective damage dealer against a Ruler, since all of them are Always Lawful Good (except Holmes) and takes less damage than anything other than Berserkers or Avengers.
Stripperific: She's scantily-clad, fitting for a lustful Femme Fatale.
Underboobs: She's pretty much half-naked. Find her mole yet?
Villainesses Want Heroes: A Chaotic Evil seductress whose type is Lawful Good men.
Yandere: Way crazier than Kiyohime and Brynhild. She loves John the Baptist so much that she requests her father to behead him so she can have his skull and kiss it. She's even aware that he's someone she's not supposed to fall in love with but she still loves him. This extends to her various masters, all of whom she loves, and all of whom she tries to decapitate. However, when she appears in the main story, she snaps out of this mindset because even if she has a liking to them, their begging for life marks them as definitively not the saint whose head she wishes for.

"Hey. Look who it is. Chan-Mas. What're you doing? Wanna check the convenience store with me? Wait, what...? A seasonal outfit, in a different Class?! Hm, m, hm. I see this inevitable day has finally come... It is with great honor that I, Sei Shounagon, officially named Nagiko, accept this opportunity to finally display my hidden true power to you. My new Class is, needless to say... Wait, what, Berserker? Why though?"

Makes her debut in Chaldea Summer Adventure.

Critical Hit Class: She has two different skills that increase her critical damage with the second skill Night Pool Slider also increasing her own critical star absorption for 1 turn. Her third skill Elegant Summer Sweets generates 15 to 25 crit stars depending on level. Finally, she has a passive skill called Independent Action (Self-Centered) which increases the crit star absorption of her one Quick card by four percent.
Failed Attempt at Drama: Sei Shonagon (Summer)'s summoning quote has her casually invite Ritsuka on a trip to a convenience store, only to realize that her new outfits has somehow resulted in a change of Class. She attempts to recover by dropping all silliness and dramatically saying that it is time to reveal her true power- only to run out of steam again upon realizing that she's now a Berserker.
Foreshadowing:
- Suzuka stating that Shounagon's "a bit Berserker-like" as well as the fact that the event she debuts in notes that she's a carefree, energetic girl that's not all right in the head foreshadows the fact that she would ultimately get a Berserker variation of herself.
- Additionally, her debut event has a dialogue option to call her like a (Summer) trait Servant to describe her personality.
Hidden Buxom: Shounagon's normal attire makes it hard to properly measure just how large her chest really is due to what she wears. Now that she has to show her chest, it is really clear that she is actually pretty stacked.
Improbable Weapon User: Her giant mallet and skateboard are at least much more advanced as weapons than one would expect, being Servantverse tech. The inflatable crocodile, however, goes mostly unexplained.
Rule-Abiding Rebel: She personally thinks that "Berserker=Outlaw", but she isn't fully devoted to the delinquent act. She skates around whacking people with her hammer and spraypainting, but her spraypaint dissolves overtime because she knows that kids who scribble in the walls are going to get chased by "Emiyas" where they are. She might even get tired of her act midway through conversation and shift to a less rebellious act.
Situational Sword: Much like her Archer form, her Noble Phantasm gives her three different kinds of Special Attack buffs against Human-attribute enemies, Lawful-aligned Servants and Shadow Servants.
Spell My Name With An S: It happens in-universe, no less. She's really miffed to learn that her Servant Universe counterpart is called Space Nagon, because come on, that's not where you're supposed to split the kanji.
Took a Level in Dumbass: Shounagon was eccentric already in the Archer class, but her acquiring Mad Enhancement has made her not just even more eccentric, but also dumber. She gets offended when Achilles implies that she's dumb, but when Teach asks her what's 1+1, her answer is 99808.

Sen no Rikyu

The Supreme Master of Tea

^{Second Ascension}

^{Third Ascension}

^{Final Ascension}

^{April Fool's Fate/Grail League}

Voiced by: Mie Sonozaki

"Pleasure to make your acquaintance, I am Rikyuu. Regardless of my summons, or a link we may share, I am humbled to be in your service. Yes, what of my appearance? Ah, I apologize in earnest, for I am not yet familiar with it myself."

A well-known merchant and tea master from the Sengoku period to the Azuchi-Momoyama period. Known as the perfectionist of wabi-cha, he rejected the established sense of values of respected specialists, and released epoch-making innovations and new values in tea to the world. Also, as a close aide of Toyotomi Hideyoshi, who was the ruler of the time, he had a hidden influence on various feudal lords. He was recorded as a man yet he appears in the guise of a young woman.

She debuted in the event GUDAGUDA Neo Yamataikoku.

A-Cup Angst: When she meets Himiko and Xuanzang, she stares at their boobs and says she wants boobs like theirs.
Black Eyes of Crazy: She is a Berserker-class servant, and very notably her eyes are completely black, which give her a rather unhinged look.
Breaking Old Trends: She's the first Berserker servant to only have one Buster card in their deck.
Composite Character: Rikyu is combined with the spirit of Komahime, the daughter of Mogami Yoshiaki. She was supposed to be a concubine of Toyotomi Hidetsugu—Hideyoshi's nephew and competitor to Chacha's son Hideyori to the succession. However, she was executed alongside the other concubines before she could actually become one.
Creepy Good: Rikyu is very creepy and wields horrifying powers, but she's quite polite and courteous towards the Master. Komahime is even creepier and wields more brutal powers, but she's still very sweet and kind towards the Master.
Cultured Badass: Sen no Rikyu was the preeminent Japanese tea master in life whose teachings persist to the modern day. As a Servant, she is capable of brewing tea that bestows Magic Resistance powerful enough to ward off a deadly miasma and is more than capable of holding her own in a fight.
Does Not Like Spam: Sen no Rikyu is noted to dislike matcha latte. Not helped by the fact Komahime drinks them everyday. In turn, Komahime dislikes bitter foods, including green tea.
- This in itself is a reference to the manga, Tokyo Osamurai Land, where Sen no Rikyu was horrified at a request to make a matcha latte.
Flower Motif: Camellias for her Third Ascension. Amongst other things, they're connected to noble deaths and decapitation, which fits with Rikyu and Komahime's death through seppuku.
Giant Hands of Doom: Though visible in her attacks, from the Second Ascension onwards, Rikyu will have a pair of giant black hands connected to a black thing next to her. Komahime seems to be more directly connected to it and uses them freely to attack her foes.
Historical Gender Flip: Sen no Rikyu was historically a man, but here he is introduced as a woman. Rikyu himself is apparently confused by the change and the other Sengoku-era characters remember him being male. This is a hint to Rikyu's nature as a Composite Character with Komahime.
Hollywood Density: For such a small girl she weighs an impressive 132 kg.
Kimono Is Traditional: In all of her Ascensions she wears a kimono in each one of them. Her Second Ascension's kimono actually alludes to her identity, as it has the very same pattern as the kimono she wore when she died. For her Third Ascension the kimono is put on her showing the right side which is used for corpses.
Levitating Lotus Position: In her first Ascension animations, she is floating in the air while in a cross-legged stance.
Power Dyes Your Hair: As Rikyu goes through her ascensions, her hair noticably changes color from pure white, to a mixture of black and white. As Komahime, her hair is completely black.
Power Makes Your Hair Grow: In the same scenario as the above, Rikyu's hair also grows longer with her ascensions. By her third ascension and up, she's at her strongest as Komahime, with her hair dyed entirely black and looking like a Stringy-Haired Ghost Girl.
Sharing a Body: After Komahime's presence is revealed, they eventually settle into this dynamic, taking turns as their body's "main" spirit. For better or worse, anyway: Koma having a youthful and somewhat spoiled disposition (not to mention her dislike of old-school japanese tea) often ends up clashing with Rikyu's stern attitude and traditionalist values, leaving us with what can only be described as a stern dad and his rebellious daughter literally strapped to each other.
Tears of Blood: Her Third Ascension's Noble Phantasm feature her eyes sometimes tearing up with blood.
Vengeful Ghost: In some versions of her sprites (which carries over to her Noble Phantasm launch), Rikyu employs the Kubrick Stare and sounds comparatively more dangerous. It is probably appropriate to note that in Real Life, Rikyu was executed under intrigue from Hideyoshi's aides (usually alleged both in history and fiction to be Ishida Mitsunari). While it is recorded that Rikyu peacefully accepted his judgment, it is wholly justifiable to expect any resentment or anger coming from a version that is classed as Berserker. The reveal that her identity is also combined with Komahime, another of Hideyoshi's victims, makes it way more reasonably expected... though ironically, Koma got over her own death more quickly than Rikyu, outraged at the senseless killing of innocents, did.
Vocal Dissonance: She has the appearance of a young woman, but the voice of a creepy old woman. As Rikyu, anyway. As Komahime, she has a more regular-sounding voice.
You Are Too Late: Komahime was supposed to be spared from the execution of Hidetsugu's concubines as she had just arrived and wasn't a concubine just yet, so her inclusion greatly outraged the populace. Hideyoshi, after being pressured by the masses and Komahime's father, sent a messenger to exempt her, but she was executed just as the horse was 109 meters away.

Soujuurou Shizuki

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/fgo_sojuurou_shizuki.png

Inconspicuous Country Boy

^{Final Ascension}

An unassuming boy from the country and the main male protagonist of Witch on the Holy Night. He moves to Misaki and becomes roommates with two mages, Aoko Aozaki and Alice Kuonji, quickly becoming embroiled in the magical world in the process. That said, there's more to this mountain man than meets the eye and he's not as helpless as he seems.

He debuted in the Witch on the Holy Night collaboration event.

Armor-Piercing Attack: His Noble Phantasm ignores Invulnerability and Damage Cut effects, preventing his target from nullifying it with any evasion effect aside from Anti-Purge Defense. It doesn't ignore Defense Buffs, but instead his Noble Phantasm gets supereffective damage if the target has a defense buff. The lore for it in his profile even states that the more "unfair nonsense" there is to the opponent's defenses, the more unblockable his Noble Phantasm becomes.
Badass Normal: Soujuurou has no experience practicing magecraft, only using his physical prowess, skill at martial arts, and some Deadly Dodging to deal with his enemies.
Beware the Quiet Ones: He's a man of few words and generally gentle toward others, getting along with Aoko and Alice despite their overwhelming personalities. He's also a former member of the assassin organization that produced Souchirou Kuzuki, Medea's master from Fate/stay night. As a result, Soujuurou is a lethal hand-to-hand combatant when he's actually pushed enough to use those skills, defeating a Phantasmal Beast as powerful as Lugh Beowulf with his bare hands.
Cloudcuckoolander: He's such a country bumpkin that he sees magecraft as being no different from city amenities like cars and telephones. He also doesn't think it's abnormal for people to wield flamethrowers in the middle of the night.
Deadly Dodging: Most of his attack animations involve Aoko or Alice shooting some spells in his direction that he then dodges, allowing the magecraft to hit the enemy instead.
Fanservice Pack: Older pictures of Soujuurou only show him from the side, making him look thin and wiry. His Final Ascension art shows him completely shirtless and from the front, making it clear that he's extremely fit and toned.
The Generic Guy: He looks as plain as a basic NPC in a video game. Acts like it most of the time too... until he's pressed into fighting.
Hidden in Plain Sight: How his profile says that the Presence Concealment skill works for him. He doesn't even try to hide, but he's so inconspicuous and normal that people just don't notice him.
The Last Dance: Discussed. His profile describes this philosophy as the source of his strength. Most people can only fully commit to the idea of, "I must accomplish this before I die." once or twice in their lives. But Soujuurou can commit to this mindset whenever he's in peril, resulting in a huge boost to his mental strength while under duress and his willingness to throw his life away if it means landing one critical blow.
Magnetic Hero: Soujuurou's Comically Serious demeanor, honesty, and quietness give him a "cozy" presence that makes people like him.
No Body Left Behind: Soujuurou's body dissolves into ash after using his Noble Phantasm.
The Quiet One: He doesn't talk much because of his lack of social graces. He tries to compensate by listening to everything people say with complete sincerity and seriousness. His constant willingness to treat others in good faith even when they're being sarcastic or facetious is said to be the reason he's so likable to others.
Simple, yet Awesome: His Noble Phantasm basically boils down to "screw mechanics, I'm just going to punch you really hard" — but this being the Nasuverse, there are so many mechanics to screw that this technique qualifies as Anti-World.
Suicide Attack: Soujuurou's Noble Phantasm does huge amounts of damage at the cost of killing him immediately afterward, making him something akin to a single-target Arash in functionality.
Supreme Chef: Soujuurou taught himself to cook due to living on his own prior to moving to Misaki. This, combined with his job at a Chinese restaurant, makes him a very good cook, especially when compared to his roommates who are overly reliant on having high-quality ingredients on hand. His Bond CE is his signature "Secret Recipe for a Family Meal" that knocked out Aoko and Alice from how good it is.

Spartacus

The Gladiator

^{Second Ascension}

^{Third Ascension}

^{Final Ascension}

^{April Fool's}

^{April Fool's Fate/Grail League}

Voiced by: Satoshi Tsuruoka

"I am Berserker Spartacus. Sorry to ask this, but are you a tyrant?"

A Thracian gladiator captured by Romans who became a symbol of rebellion. He managed to repel an assault force of nearly three thousand dispatched by the Romans, leading to him being known as a hero who inspired armed uprisings by slaves in many places.

He's an ally in Rome, serving as a general in Nero's army and later returns for Lostbelt No.3: SIN.

Animation Bump: The release of Lostbelt No.3 gives him a new set of animations to go along with his return to story relevance.
As Long as There Is One Man: As per his dying words in SIN:
Spartacus will never truly die. Not as long as you keep the light of rebellion alive within your heart...
Back from the Dead: His Unyielding Will gives him a five-turn Guts buff that revives him with 1 HP. His Bond 10 CE also revives him with 50% HP once during a battle.
Batman Grabs a Gun: His entire existence as a Servant is defined as rebelling against any authority, even just and noble authority. So it's bad when he literally demands the player uses a Command Seal on him in Lostbelt 3.
Berserk Button: He still has massive problems with authority. It's mentioned that if his Master forgoes a relation of mutual respect and instead tries to act like he's, well, his master, Spartacus will kill him. Even knowing it'd cause him to lose the war there and then.
Bring It: His injury animation is him boldy displaying his chest as he relishes the pain.
Body Horror: His new animations play up the transformation effect of his Noble Phantasm for all it's worth, with his proportions constantly inflating and contorting as he attacks.
Boring, but Practical: Despite his Stone Wall characterization and skills, he's mechanically so fragile (even with his Guts and massive healing that could heal him from 1 HP to full) that he's better used as a walking, disposable Noble Phantasm. With sufficient investment, he's a class-neutral variant of Arash thanks to a self-charging NP skill, Unyielding Will, and a powerful one-turn Buster buff from his third skill, Triumphant Return of the Sword, from his second Rank Up Quest (his first Rank Up Quest notably buffs his first skill's healing, and it still wasn't enough for him to be commonly used). His Berserker class, EX-ranked Mad Enhancement, and this final skill finally lets him be used as a farming servant with his AoE NP; before this third skill, his base attack was so low he had difficulty even one-shotting Daily Quest enemies. This is especially true if you have Koyanskaya of Light and Oberon as his 30% NP Charge can make it possible to three-turn farm with them around.
Carry a Big Stick: He starts off with a spiked club, but after ascending he switches it out for a gladius.
Character Catchphrase: "Oppressor!!"
Combat Sadomasochist: Spartacus accumulates more prana the more he gets hurt, thus getting a power boost from it. A possible case of Blessed with Suck in the similar vein of Avenger from Fate/hollow ataraxia.
Death by Irony: Along with Lu Bu, he meets his end neither through direct combat or by the hands of an "oppressor," but as a victim of collateral damage courtesy of Altera's casual decimation of the Roman Empire.
Decon-Recon Switch: The Chinese Lostbelt forces him to reexamine his rebellious philosophy, with him musing whether or not he would've led a revolt in the first place if the tyrants of his era made sure that their subjects were well-fed, safe, and content as Qin Shi Huang did for those he ruled over in his alternate version of human history. He even warns his allies that depending on what conclusion he comes to, he might "bend the knee to China" and turn against Chaldea for what may be a kinder world to common folk. However, seeing the emperor aiming a Colony Drop on a village just because one in their number recited poetry helps Spartacus determine that such absolute authority enables such callous and overblown decrees.
Dying Moment of Awesome: In Lostbelt No.3, he willingly lays down his life to stop a Malignant Star on a village in spectacular fashion. He asks the protagonist to use a Command Seal on him, ordering him to "Jump!". Sounds ridiculous at first, but then Spartacus does exactly that, jumping so high he might as well be flying towards the falling sattelite, which he then tanks with his Noble Phantasm. He dies and his Saint Graph becomes irreparably damaged by it, but the sheer awesomeness of his sacrifice inspired the then-blissfully ignorant people of the Lostbelt to wish for heroes, allowing Chaldea to summon Servants into the Lostbelt.
Enemy Mine: With Nero, though it's implied he's not aware this is the case as the United Roman Empire has more Emperors on their side for him to defy.
Fan of the Underdog: The nature of his madness is such that he always sides with those underneath against those above them. Notably, his profile clarifies that he wants to drag down the high more than he wants to uplift the weak, and that he sees nothing wrong with leading the oppressed to their doom, so long as it lashes out against injustice in the process. He is, after all, still a Berserker.
Friend to All Children: Despite his insanity, he's surprisingly good with kids. In the Inheritance of Glory event, he teams up with Jack the Ripper and even gives her a piggyback ride. Then in the third Lostbelt, he becomes close to the unnamed boy in the village Chaldea first arrives in, protecting him and offering him constant words of encouragement.
Godzilla Threshold: In Lostbelt No.3, in order to stop the Emperor's Malignant Star he willingly goes against everything he stands for by asking the player to use a Command Seal on him.
Good Thing You Can Heal: All of Spartacus's skills grant some sort of bonus to his health pool, be it self-regeneration for several turns, Guts, or a straight-up heal, all of which is necessary given his low HP and Berserker class. Even his Noble Phantasm, Crying Warmonger, recovers a large amount of HP based on Overcharge to the point he can go from near-death to almost perfect health when maxed out (though good luck getting him to survive long enough to reach that point).
Gonk: With his creepy smile, disproportionate muscles, and weird bondage outfit, Spartacus is clearly not meant to be an attractive Servant.
Gorgeous Garment Generation: His third and final ascension outfit finally clothes him with a cloak and stylized helmet similar to those worn by the Thracian auxiliaries of the Roman legions, which he was prior to becoming a gladiator.
Healing Factor: His Nero Fest Challenge Quest is superficially similar to that of Heracles, but it cannot be won through sheer attrition since Spartacus regains absurd amounts of health at the end of his turns.
Heroic Resolve: To the extent that Spartacus cannot fight at full power unless he has sustained injuries.
Heroic Second Wind: Spartacus's Noble Phantasm converts some of the damage given to his injuries into Prana, heightening his physical abilities, however this doesn't apply to its gameplay version. Instead, it recovers a set amount of his HP that increases with Overcharge while he unleashes a powerful blast of Prana that increases in damage with level.
Hidden Depths: For a Berserker, he is capable of much introspection, as can be seen Lostbelt 3.
Hope Bringer: Yes, really. The people of Lostbelt No.3 had previously more or less abandoned the concept of heroes in their peaceful, stupid state which made it near impossible for Chaldea to summon allied Servants as this world had no need or desire for Heroic Spirits and thus lost connection to the Throne. But Spartacus' sacrifice and final words were so moving to them it reintroduced the idea of a hero to the people and made summoning Servants possible again. Or in other words, Spartacus single-handedly strengthened the Human Order of that world with his death.
Informed Attribute: Other Servants act like he's completely incoherent. In reality, he's about as reasonable as Nightingale—he speaks in full sentences and can contribute to a conversation, but he also somehow turns every remark into a polemic about tyranny or class conflict.
Insane Troll Logic: Having taken a liking to the Protagonist, he employs a bit of Loophole Abuse so he can serve under them without violating his code of unrest. This involves forcing his Master to rebel against themselves by putting handcuffs on and then Breaking the Bonds thereby making them and Spartacus fellow revolutionaries.
Killed Off for Real: In-story, the damage he sustains intercepting Emperor Qin's Malignant Star damages his Saint Graph so badly that the Throne cannot salvage it, meaning the other Spartacus's summoned will not remember his Heroic Sacrifice.
Large Ham: Has a tendency to get boisterous and dramatic when the battle gets going, which doesn't quite fit with the usual Berserker-class lack of communication.
Lighter and Softer: Compared to his appearance in Fate/Apocrypha where he was a disturbingly bloodthirsty lunatic, here he's a jovial, if similarly insane heroic ally.
Made of Iron: Has EX-rank Endurance.
Martyr Without a Cause:
- Without the context of the Roman Empire, Spartacus is constantly on the lookout for someone or even something to rebel against. The third Lostbelt reveals that he even views the force of gravity as an "oppressor".
- The Inheritance of Glory event has him ponder if bread is an oppressor for sandwiching food between it.
Mighty Glacier: He starts off being slow but durable, but as he sustains more and more injuries he becomes a Lightning Bruiser.
Nice Guy: Surprisingly. One of his comments is in a manner that's worried about you not sleeping. Ultimately his goal is to protect the weak, so once he does find someone he perceives as being weak, he will do anything to keep them safe, even at the cost of everyone else.
One-Hit-Point Wonder: His Unyielding Will charges his NP gauge while granting a Guts buff for 5 turns, but if it activates it only revives him with 1 HP. Luckily, his other skills and even his NP can bring him back to speed.
Perpetual Smiler: No matter his current emotion, he's always smiling. He'll look creepy no matter what kind of smile it is.
Plucky Comic Relief: He served as one during "Inheritance of Glory" regarding on what he perceives as "oppressors".
Red Baron: The Gladiator.
Shoot the Dog: His Bond 10 Craft Essence has him expressing sympathy and woe towards the gladiatorial beasts he had to kill to survive.
Stone Wall: Insofar as a member of the game's Glass Cannon class can be one, but his Skills, NP, and Bond CE are all dedicated to either healing him or giving him Guts, and he actually has the lowest Attack stat in the game (though his Berserker class and EX-ranked Mad Enhancement mitigate this somewhat).
Stripperific: His first form wears nothing more than some underwear. His second wears what looks like bondage gear. Makes sense, because he is a gladiator.
Taking You with Me: This is the ultimate application of Crying Warmonger, with him gathering mana from the damage he receives from enemy's strikes until he is at the verge of death and unleashing it all in a single magical burst that will destroy his body. In Billy the Kid's Interlude, he uses it to take down a large number of Celtic warriors with him.
Talkative Loon: Most of what he says is either a Non Sequitur or just plain incomprehensible.
Throw the Dog a Bone: After his abrupt demise in the Septem chapter, Spartacus is given a chance to shine in the third Lostbelt when he supercharges his Noble Phantasm to save a village from a sattelite dropped by Emperor Qin.
The Unsmile: He really has trouble doing anything but creepy grins, almost as if he's about to betray you himself, even though he's wholly on your side (and has to struggle to remain "true" to his rebellious nature).
Weak, but Skilled: Spartacus has the lowest max. ATK among all Servants. However, his class which comes with a 1.1x damage modifier and a 1.5x class advantage against all but two classes, his NP Charge skill and his Buster Effectiveness buff skill all make him a very good farming Servant. His low cost and the low investment on his skills and level allow him to outperform other AoE Berserkers of higher rarity in efficiency. Spartacus's skills and Noble Phantasm also make him much sturdier than other Berserkers.
Your Answer to Everything: He makes a habit of attributing his adversaries as "oppressors".

"I am one of the Tamamo Nine, the Wild Fox, Tamamo Cat! Nice to meet you, my Master!"

A member of the Tamamo Nine. After Tamamo-no-Mae underwent a millennium of training and attained divinity, she cut off her other eight tails and returned to her one-tailed form. Each of her tails were left a portion of her divinity and became a Heroic Spirit. Cat has Tamamo's more pure and sincere aspects.

She briefly appears in Septem as an NPC and is a brief antagonist and then ally in SE.RA.PH.

Admiring the Abomination: Unlike regular Tamamo, who swears up and down that she is not Daji and she's just an Identical Stranger at best, Cat rather bluntly admits that Daji was a past identity of hers and at times seems to almost admire just how depraved Daji would get in the name of taking what she wanted, not getting why Tamamo is so insistent on denying all relations despite all the bad things she herself got up to in Japan.
Apologetic Attacker: In SE.RA.PH, she apologizes before attacking the protagonist and their Servants, since BB put a collar on her that forces her to obey. B.B., for her part, is amazed that she can talk at all.
Ascended Extra: Only appeared in Tamamo's ending in Fate/EXTRA CCC before being a playable Servant.
Asian Fox Spirit: No matter how much she insists that she's a cat, she's still a fox spirit. Or part of one.
Balance Buff:
- A Rank Up Quest upgraded her Shapeshift B into Shapeshift (Lunch) A, giving her a bonus to Max HP in battle and grants immunity to debuffs for one turn, which allows it to be used to block her NP's self stun effect, making her a much more useful farming servant.
- A second Rank Up Quest upgraded her Witchcraft to Cursed Stream - Cat's Sunlight, which gives her a 1-time Invincibility to bolster her longevity.
Brainless Beauty: Her C-ranked Mad Enhancement doesn't rob her any of her reason because she has little to begin with. She prattles on about anything and quickly bounces around during her first Interlude. Her appearance in the CCC event establishes that she is still fairly intelligent and observant in her own way, she's just scatterbrained and has a low EQ.
Breath Weapon: Her new animation update gives her the ability to shoot a beam out of her mouth.
Casting Gag: Tamamo Cat's style and extremely laid back, borderline fourth wall-breaking personality and her voice makes her sound a lot like Taokaka. After her animation update, she even gains paw attacks and punch animations that are very familiar to Taokaka's actions.
Cat Girl: She insists that she's this, even though her ears and tail are obviously that of a fox and not a cat, and she even barks like a dog as a Verbal Tic.
Characterization Marches On: The SE.RA.PH event gives her A Day in the Limelight alongside Gawain, Tristan and EMIYA Alter. Notably, this events displays more of Tamamo Cat's intelligence and perception and dives a little bit more into her nature as a member of the Tamamo Nine.
Chef of Iron: Implied by her stage cards from the second one onward, and just like the original Tamamo, she's a superb chef. Her cooking is so good, the barely-sentient Shadow Servants are flocking around her fried prawns. She might be an even better cook than Tamamo herself, according to Beni-Enma, or at the very least she took to the lessons much better and more easily than Tamamo did.
Cloudcuckoolander: Tamamo Cat is overall very weird. Her mindset and her dialogues are confusing, but she still displays a good amount of intellect, as reflected in her complicated metaphors. She's also very perceptive.
Color-Coded Characters: To help distinguish her from the original Tamamo, Cat has a bit of red on all of her outfits in contrast to Caster Tamamo whose primary color is blue.
Commonality Connection: Tamamo Cat compares herself to Meltryllis and Passionlip that she's also an Alter Ego like them.
The Cuckoolander Was Right: Despite her weirdness, she comes up with the plan to get to the far side of SE.RA.PH using a grilled mochi analogy that only the protagonist understands.
Collared by Fashion: She wears a bell collar, reflecting her insistence that she's a cat (even though she isn't one) and how she tends to view herself as her Master's pet (when she's not likening their relationship to a husband and wife).
A Day in the Limelight: When Rayshifting into SE.RA.PH, BB swapped out Tamamo-no-Mae with Tamamo Cat, which allows the latter to shine and make a better impression of herself. While still retaining her main quirks, her intelligence and perception become much more noticeable in this event.
Edible Ammunition: One of her Extra Attacks after her animation update involves summoning a truly colossal plate of omelette rice and hurling it at the opponent, causing it to detonate in a huge explosion.
Expy: She's listed as the Neko-Arc type character.
Fake Defector: In SE.RA.PH, she claims that she joined BB because the latter took care of her. In reality, Tamamo Cat faked to have joined BB for real, having used the Karmophage to restore her own power and she was waiting for the protagonist to save her.
Fighting Clown: A silly character from CCC brought to Grand Order at launch, she's nonetheless on-par with other AoE Berserker competitors for farming, especially since Balance Buffs have let her keep up with Powercreep.
Fun Personified: Her GO Mats entry says that she's a Neko-Arc type and just a gag character with no place in a serious storyline. That being said, she did appear as the comic relief for SE.RA.PH. Her appearance alongside Elisabeth and Stheno in the Septem chapter is played entirely for laughs, and quickly forgotten. The game even points out there was no real point to her appearance as she did nothing of use. (Of course, the further joke of her appearance in SE.RA.PH. is that she's actually useful and plot-relevant, despite expectations.)
Hidden Depths: The "Bedazzled! Grail Concert" event reveals that she's extremely talented at composing music for idol groups, She acts as the composer for Ax Xx S while X Alter handles writing lyrics.
Ice-Cream Koan: She often throws around several weird idioms that have no apparent meaning. Tristan interprets them to be exquisitely unique poetry she wrote.
Inept Mage: Retains her Caster-self's Witchcraft skill, although in her case its rank has dropped from EX to E. The low rank is apparently not because it is ineffective, but because it hurts her to use.
Insanity Immunity: While she was still compelled to fight the protagonist, BB was confused at how Cat could still speak with the protagonist and remain loyal to them. It's implied that Cat is already so wacky that even brainwashing can't change her thought process.
Lighter and Softer: In general, this Tamamo has significantly fewer dark personality traits than the original. She's not easily jealous, she's not (or incapable of) spouting passive-aggressive rhetoric, and she also lacks the ability to easily curse her enemies. As can be seen from her Noble Phantasm, the Opulent Feast has a different meaning than it used to, which is pointing at Su Daji's favorite torture practice of releasing prisoners inside a tiger-invested forest for a sadistic show. Her profile outright calls her Tamamo's innocent side.
Little Bit Beastly: She has a fox's ears and tail (even though she insists she's a cat) as well as paw-like hands and feet, though it's difficult to say if those are actually her hands and feet and not some kind of coverings.
Meido: Her second ascension outfit is this.
Naked Apron: Her final ascension. Luckily her tail hides the naughty bits of her behind. This is probably a reference back to Amaterasu, who was originally going to appear with a "nine-tailed fox spin on the naked apron", but due to ethical reasons she was given formalwear.
Ninja Pirate Zombie Robot:
- Borderline parodied. She's a facet of a goddess incarnated in human form with Little Bit Beastly fox characteristics (her base form of Tamamo-no-Mae), but now she's also a cat maid with a few screws loose. To top it all off, it's not clear if she's more cat or fox despite her insistence otherwise, and characters have called out that her Verbal Tic is barking like a dog.
- Lampshaded by Suzuka Gozen in SE.RA.PH, who states she can't tell what Cat's "theme" due to all the conflicting signs, naming off "shrine maiden", "fox ears", "catgirl", and "devoted wife" and shouting she should just pick and stick with one theme.
Non-Indicative Name: Shouldn't she be called Tamamo Fox? Lampshaded in that she insists she's a cat anyway.
Only a Flesh Wound: Once the party gets back to the chapel after recruiting her in SE.RA.PH., she decides to lay down for a little while on account of having been a "teensey bit mortally wounded" by EMIYA Alter.
Playing with Fire: An animation update gives her the ability to ignite her tail on fire and throw a giant fireball.
Pungeon Master: Prepare for cat-related puns. Here's an example from her appearance in Musashi's trial quest:
"Now we have no choice but to open up a maid cafe, or rather a maid CATfe!"
Resting Recovery: Her Noble Phantasm is a scratching attack to all enemies followed by falling asleep for two turns, to rest from the exertion.
Square Race, Round Class: In-Universe she mentions that because she is one of the Tamamo Nine, her existence is that of an Alter Ego, the same as Passionlip and Meltryllis. In Seraphix, she describes herself as "an Alter Ego with a touch of a Berserker".
Starter Mon: In addition to Mash, Tamamo Cat is one of the ten (later 14) available 4* Servants that can be summoned from the Starter Summon. Among the ten (now 14), Tamamo Cat and Heracles are the two 4* Berserkers.
Stringy-Haired Ghost Girl: In both Saber Wars II and Lostbelt 6, she is depicted as similar to a Yūrei. This is likely due to the old "Ghost Cat" horror genre which was the predecessor to modern Yūrei horro.
Super-Strength: Her Strength is listed as Rank B+, but to better illustrate how strong she really is, she's able to carry Passionlip without any problem. Passionlip weighs 1000kg!
Supreme Chef:
- As a Tamamo Nine, her cooking is incredibly good as shown in her first Interlude when she serves you a full-course supper of garlic steak, pumpkin terrine, roast chicken in diavolo sauce, pumpkin pudding, and pumpkin pie with canapés. Mash and the protagonist are surprised at how good the food is, both thinking her too ditzy to cook competently.
- She's one of the Servants who are in charge of Chaldea's kitchen, which include EMIYA, Boudica and Raikou, etc. All four of them are seen working at the Chaldea Kitchen Truck (CKT, the Craft Essence).
- She ends up bonding with Passionlip a little by deciding to teach her to cook, declaring she'll be able to make her first rate in no time. Then she looks at Passionlip's hands again and admits that it'll be impossible.
- Her updated skill animation has her serving platters of lusciously-drawn steak, spaghetti, omelette rice, or shrimp tempura.
Talkative Loon: She rambles incoherently and makes very little sense to anyone she speaks to.
There Can Be Only One: Her true objective is to kill the "original" Tamamo (the Caster one) and take her place as the "original Tamamo"; as a result, she gets along with Suzuka surprisingly well. However, according to her profile in FGO Materials II, she knows that if she ever succeeded, it wouldn't actually solve anything, and has decided fighting is meaningless.
Trademark Favorite Food: Carrots. She's looking for some to eat during her Interlude and in the Rome chapter, was lured by Stheno onto her island with carrots.
Verbal Tic: She has a tendency to bark like a dog at the end of her sentences. Other characters have lampshaded how she does this despite how much she insists that she's a cat.

"I am here at your request... are you the Master who shall offer me your blood?"

Due to legends associated with Vlad III, another name for him has been spread across the world, The Little Dragon, better known as the vampire Count Dracula. This incarnation of Vlad III is not truly a vampire, but his association with the fictional vampire Dracula, a cornerstone of popular culture, has granted him the Legend of Dracula Noble Phantasm that allows him to become a vampire (but not a Dead Apostle).

As a Lancer, Vlad prefers to keep it unused and would rather die than fight as anything else than the hero he was in life. As a Berserker, Legend of Dracula is locked into an active state, and Vlad has embraced this darker side of himself.

He's an antagonist in the First Singularity: Hundred Years' War of the Evil Dragons Orleans, summoned as "Berserk-Lancer" by Jeanne Alter. He appears as an ally in "Parting Memory Manifestation Realms, Traum".

Adaptational Superpower Change: Vlad III is a Berserker as opposed to his original Lancer class from Apocrypha, presumably to make him more distinct from his Extra counterpart.
Ax-Crazy: As befits a Berserker. Unlike most members of the Class, he can converse with others, but tends to turn on unworthy Masters in short order, sucking them dry of their blood.
Badass Boast: In the Final Singularity: The Grand Temple of Time Solomon:
"If they want a vampire, then I shall show them a TRUE monster."
Balance Buff:
- He's one of the most obvious examples of the game's power creep and was left behind as better and better Berserkers came out, however, nearly two years into the game he received an Interlude to buff his second skill. While before it was only a decent DEF buff and not terribly useful for a Berserker, the Interlude increased the DEF buff value and added a three turn ATK buff. This means that in a proper Arts team with Tamamo as support, he basically has a permanent 30% ATK and DEF buff. Not too shabby.
- His Battle Continutation was buffed into Terrifying Undead for the "Inheritance of Glory" rerun. On top of the base Guts effect, it gives him a second Guts that lasts for five turns, and increases his NP gain from 20% to 30%. This buff makes him even stronger since now he can practically solo fights that he couldn't before, and throw his NP out much quicker.
- With Rank Up Campaign 13, Vlad's NP has been buffed a second time (notably the first time in the game any Servant has received a second NP buff), this time with the appropriate damage multiplier like other buffed ST Arts NPs. It also gains another effect that debuffs the enemy with a fixed 20% Arts Resistance Down.
Berserk Button: Summoning him in this state intentionally. In unintentional cases, he will generously agree to work together with whoever summoned him.
Bishōnen Line: When his Lancer version was forced to use Legend of Dracula in Apocrypha, he underwent a lot of Body Horror, becoming twisted into a monstrous, grey-skinned vampiric mockery of himself. As a Berserker, despite having Legend of Dracula continuously-active, he just looks like a slightly more scruffy version of his Lancer counterpart (though that doesn't stop him from invoking Body Horror on himself via his attacks).
Body Horror: This version of Kazikli Bey has him creating his stakes from inside his own body, which means he's technically creating them out of his blood, hair, bones, shadows and whatever else. Shown in special detail when his Noble Phantasm is activated, when a mass of stakes tears out of his chest in a burst of blood to impale his enemies.
Cool Uncle: Apparently, he sewed Elisabeth's outfit for the first Halloween event, "The Adventure of Singing Pumpkin Castle". Vlad sees Elisabeth as a fellow unfortunate victim of vampire legend and thinks she's turning the way she is because of the neglect in her upbringing, so he decides to be her Parental Substitute to guide her to the right path. Fan artists ran amok with this. Both the Lancer and Caster forms of Elisabeth call him "uncle" with respect and affection. Unfortunately, next year's Halloween event, "Super☆Ghouls 'n Pumpkins", shows this only applies to his Berserker form; EXTRA Vlad hates her.
Dark Is Evil: Not normally, but he dresses all in black and acts as an antagonist in the First Singularity: Hundred Years' War of the Evil Dragons Orleans. However, as a playable Servant, he has an Interlude where he comes to realize that even his vampiric abilities can be used to help people.
The Dog Bites Back: In the Apocrypha event, he is ultimately the one who strikes the final blow against Darnic, which is extremely cathartic after everything Darnic put him through. Somewhat subverted in that he admits that he doesn't actually truly hate Darnic for betraying him.
Early-Installment Weirdness: What makes Vlad's Noble Phantasm stand out is despite being a single-target Arts NP, its scaling before his first Interlude was the same as a single-target Buster NP (600% at NP1), but without the benefits of card multipliers making up the difference^note. As a result, despite his high attack he could actually be outperformed by other Berserkers, especially if they managed to Buster Brave Chain with their NP to boost their damage further (something he was fundamentally incapable of doing and could only perform a lesser version of with an Arts Brave Chain via his NP). His first Interlude buffed the damage scaling to a standard single-target Arts NP pre-NP upgrade (900% at NP1) and it took the first-ever second NP buff from a Rank Up Quest to bring it up to par with a standard upgraded single-target Arts NP (1200% at NP1).
Eviler than Thou: He cautions the protagonist against trusting his Lancer counterpart. Talking with the Vlad from Fate/EXTRA reveals that he's much less likely to turn on you and he's not nearly as self-absorbed in spite of his religious fervor. Furthermore, unlike this Vlad, he views the Holy Grails as blasphemous insults towards the one in the scriptures and wouldn't dream of using it.
Fur and Loathing: Vlad's outfit gains more and more fur trimmings as he ascends.
Hunter of His Own Kind: As noted below, he's doing this in his Interlude—not unlike another iteration of him we know of.
Impaled with Extreme Prejudice: His Noble Phantasm, Kazikli Bey: Bloodstained King Demon. One of his Buster attack animations has him impale the enemy directly in the neck and for his Extra attack animation, he impales them with stakes from below.
Non-Action Guy: Though he's initially combat capable when he's summoned by Chaldea to assist in the Traum singularity, Don Quixote's Triste Suave Alonso Quijano leaves him majorly weakened and only capable of supporting the protagonists with planning tactics and assisting other Servants they recruit.
Only Sane Man: Roman refers to him as this during the first Halloween event.
Our Vampires Are Different: Unlike his Lancer versions, Vlad as Berserker embraces his legend as a vampire, and has his other Noble Phantasm, Legend of Dracula: The Succession of Blood, active by default.
Out-of-Character Alert: The reason for his EX-rank Mad Enhancement is because he accepts the legend of Dracula that came along with his Berserker class. It's already established that Vlad hates his blood-sucking reputation. Him accepting the reputation is so ridiculous, he 'should have gone mad' to do so. Because his Mad Enhancement is entirely devoted to forcing him to embrace being Dracula, he's rather sane and articulate otherwise (aside from the fact he's now acting like a Card-Carrying Villain as Dracula).
Power Creep: Early on the game, he was one of the most sought-out units, being the only permanent SSR Berserker, having the highest ATK of any permanent Servant in the initial launch, and his single target NP being able to kill every early boss with ease. However, more Berserkers have been added since and every single one is preferred over him: his weak skills and lower than average NP damage^note means that you need to have several good Arts-based supports (i.e. Tamamo and/or Waver) as well to max out his damage potential (though his second Interlude buffed his mediocre Morph skill to also buff his attack and improve his damage consistency). As a result, he was one of the least valued SSRs for a long time until the arrival of Caster Altria, who makes him one of the most consistent and powerful NP looping boss killers. And only three weeks after the release of Galatea who competes with him as an ST Arts Berserker, Vlad has received a second NP upgrade with an appropriate damage modifier, making his NP the strongest of his niche.
Readings Are Off the Scale: He has EX-ranked Mad Enhancement.
Real Men Wear Pink: He's very good at sewing. He made Elisabeth's Halloween costume for her, his return gift for the Valentine's event is a hand-made stuff animal and he taught Astolfo how to sew.
Red Baron: Impaling Prince. Also, Count Dracula.
Square Race, Round Class: Gameplay-wise, he possesses the rare and coveted Madness Enhancement EX among Berserkers, offering a sizable 12% effectiveness boost towards Buster cards. But Vlad's deck leans him toward using his Arts cards rather than his Buster cards. This discrepancy made him a victim of Power Creep for years until Arts supports like Tamamo and Nero Bride got buffed enough to support him, turning him into a powerful boss killer. This trait of his shot through the roof after the addition of the incredibly offensively-focused Caster Altria, giving him a unique presence among Berserkers.
Turn the Other Cheek: Despite how Darnic used him and trampled on his pride during the Apocrypha event, Vlad doesn't bear a grudge. He ultimately kills his former Master out of a sense of duty and mercy rather than vengeance.
Vampire Hunter: His Interlude involves hunting vampires in order to Clear My Name.
You Are in Command Now: He will always treat the relationship between himself and his Master as that of a king and his retainer. No exceptions.

Xiang Yu

Demon King of Western Chu

"The family name is Xiang. The name is Ji. The name of courtesy is Yu. Even though I was instructed to give my name to others in such a way…… I certainly did not expect to awaken in this form. Is my fate connected to thee in any form?"

A legendary warlord from Chu State who grew to be abnormally large^note, strong and with two pupils in one of his eyes, signifying heavensent distiction in Chinese folklore. Xiang Yu's conquests ended the Qin Dynasty within years of Qin Shi Huang dying of mercury poisoning and his incompetent son being left to try and wrangle the enormous empire his father had left him, and Xiang's ferocity in battle won him a large dominion and the title of Hegemon-King (霸王, Bà Wáng) of Western Chu. He installed a puppet emperor who Xiang later disposed of himself, plunging the recently unified China back into territorial wars, and became the nemesis of Liu Bang who engaged him both politically and militarily in the Chu-Han Contentions. After being driven back to Gaixia in 202BC with only a few handfuls of his original Chu fighting force, he left a death poem bemourning his impending loss and took his own life, after which China was once again unified.

As you can see, there is a lot more to Xiang Yu to unpackage than what is recorded by humans: He was an automaton created by Qin Shi Huang, based on the remains of Lotus Prince Nezha who was given computing power strong enough to give him the ability to predict the future by observing the situation. However, Qin Shi Huang died before he would be activated, leading for the rebel leader Xiang Liang to find him and activate him. Seeking to bring peace to China, he declared Liu Bang to be his new lord and sought hard to make him the emperor, bloodying his hand from the blood of warlords and countryfolk alike. Since no one could comprehend his inhuman thinking, he was declared to be a demon, causing everyone else to unite together in order to bring a stop to him, unifying China under his nemesis in the process.

Within the Chinese Lostbelt, Qin Shi Huang never died and instead achieved immortality, leading to him to serve his creator as intended while his original humanoid frame was slowly converted to becoming a monstrous war machine.

He first debuted in "Lostbelt No. 3: The Synchronized Intellect Nation, SIN" as a major anatagonist. He also appears in "Servant Summer Camp! Chaldea Thriller Night" and "Great Void Sea Escape: Imaginary Scramble" as an ally.

0% Approval Rating: It is suggested that since no one would comprehend his way of thinking, Xiang Yu from the Proper Human History is not a Heroic Spirit since no one in the world would see him as a hero. Yes, he is less desirable than figures like Jack the Ripper and Lu Bu. Yu Mei-ren choosing to become a Heroic Spirit is then suggested to have been the one approval he needed to be acknowledged as being a guardian of humanity.
A.I. Is a Crapshoot: His profile says he was like a machine, programmed to try and make a peaceful world. When the Qin dynasty began to collapse, Xiang Yu thought the best way to make peace is to become a bloodthirsty warlord, causing death and destruction in order to ensure the future stability of China.
Alternate Self: The version of Xiang Yu in the main story is from the SIN Lostbelt where Qin Shi Huang did not die, thus allowing Qin Shi Huang to further modify him into the form he is now. It's heavily implied that the "normal" Xiang Yu would be summoned as a Rider instead of Berserker hence Akuta's desire to summon him in such a class before she got Gao instead. He even notes he can't comprehend the idea of himself being a "normal human", but he is able to accurately understand and predict what his Proper Human History counterpart's actions were through deduction, knowledge of the events at the time, and Akuta's prompting questions. He eventually vividly visualizes what he was like in Proper Human History almost as a flashback, showing what he was like before all of the modifications, albeit only from the back. The version recruited by Chaldea is the one from Proper Human History, but with the form of his Lostbelt version due to the ties the protagonist formed with that particular version of him.
And Show It to You: When Akuta goes against Qin Shi Huang's truce with Chaldea, he orders Xiang Yu to tear out his own reactor and destroy it. He complies without hesitation, but Akuta panics and swears to obey the emperor before he can actually do so. He's more surprised by how Akuta reacted, than actually concerned with his own certain death.
Armor-Piercing Attack: His third Skill grants him Ignores Invincibility for 3 turns.
Artificial Human: He is an automaton created by Qin Shi Huang, using the salvaged remains of Nezha. In Proper Human History, he was discovered after Qin Shi Huang's death by Xiang Liang, who passed him off as his nephew and intended to use him to conquer China. As he still possessed a humanoid form, no one suspected otherwise.
Badass Boast: One of his Noble Phantasm lines couldn't be described as anything less than utterly badass. Bonus points for the first half of it being paraphrased out of his awesome death poem, the Song of Gaixia.
"My strength shall lift the mountains, and my might shall conquer the world. I will demonstrate my military prowess here and now!"
Balance Buff: His Future Prediction was buffed via Interlude to now have a C. Star Gather Rate buff effect in addition to buffing the Critical Strength buff to now be double as good as its base form. With this, he now is able to be the role he was made to as a Critical Hit-focused Berserker.
Beethoven Was an Alien Spy: A fairly extreme example - see Artificial Human above.
Body Horror: He looks relatively normal in his base form, but ascending him makes his skin look pale and rotting and making it look like some of his ribs are outside his body. And ascending him further gives him Sickly Green Glow where his bare muscles are visible.
The Brute: He plays this role within Qin Shi Huang's group in "Lostbelt No. 3: The Synchronized Intellect Nation, SIN". Xiang Yu displays overwhelming brute power and precision against Chaldea, while his allies merely see him as a weapon of war and use him as such.
Combat Clairvoyance: Future Prediction works like this in-lore, but unlike something like the Eye of the Mind (True/False) or Intuition skills, this goes beyond simply reading an opponent's moves and predicting their movements based on it and into the realm of precognition.
Covert Pervert: So covert it verges on being downplayed, but when the two split-off Yu Mei-rens meet during Chaldea Summer Camp and one of them complains that Xiang Yu will be so sad that there's now two of her, the Clairvoyant Emiya mutters that something tells him that Xiang Yu would be pretty okay with that actually.
Create Your Own Hero: Xiang Yu's ability to see into the future caused him to effectively become all of Ancient China's Monster Heel in the wake of the Qin Dynasty's collapse to fight for a future where his Arch-Enemy Liu Bang would become a worthy and mighty new emperor of China.
Critical Hit Class: He can get an impressive 108% self-buffed Critical Strength, but unfortunately he's a Berserker and has a Berserker's C. Star Gather Rate, meaning he'll find it quite difficult to actually get those Critical Hits even with the ability to drop 10 C. Stars per turn (unless you build your team around reducing C. Star Gather Rates, like Yan Qing and/or Mysterious Heroine X Alter). This later was fixed with his Balance Buff, as he now has a C. Star Gather Rate buff effect to fulfill this role.
Declaration of Protection: Gives one as he prepares to fight Chaldea for the final time for Yu Mei-ren's sake.
"Just this once, I will fight not for the empire, but for the woman I love."
Determinator: He refuses an order from Qin Shi Huang to stand down in order to keep fighting Chaldea in order to defend the existence of the Lostbelt, because otherwise that world will be destroyed and he and Akuta will be separated again. Unfortunately, he does this right after getting the snot beaten out of him by said group, meaning he can only put up a token fight and is promptly killed, which ultimately only manages to utterly break Akuta.
Did You Just Romance Cthulhu?: Admittedly he might not have known her true nature and he's not exactly normal himself, but becoming lovers with a vampiric ageless monster born from the World definitely counts.
Doppelgänger Replacement Love Interest: Since all Akuta Hinako AKA Yu Mei-ren wants is to reunite with her previous lover, she treats the Lostbelt Xiang Yu the same way she would treat the Proper Human History version of him. While he is obviously confused why she would care for a war machine like him, he eventually comes to care for Yu Mei-ren all the same, and it certainly helps that his mindset is nigh identical to Proper Human History Xiang Yu given he could predict and understand his counterpart's decisions and actions like they were his own with nothing but Yu's information on the time period and events that his Alternate Self lived through.
Early-Bird Cameo: His silhouette appeared in the Cosmos in the Lostbelt opening along with Superhuman Orion's.
Empty Shell: He apparently lacked emotions for much of his life, and only truly started feeling human once he fell in love with Yu Mei-ren.
Evil Knockoff: Downplayed. He was built with the technology Qin Shi Huang discovered by excavating Nezha's remains in Proper Human History, and the Lostbelt version of him has only been further upgraded by Qin since then. Nezha is horrified upon seeing Xiang Yu's chassis, calling it afront to the masterworks of the Taiyi Zhenren that created her.
Gameplay and Story Integration: As mentioned above, in his last battle, he's already running on fumes but still chooses to fight. To reflect this in gameplay, while he is still in full possession of all his usual skills and a higher HP pool, he has a permanent DEF Down debuff, he loses HP every turn, and he's no longer capable of charging his Noble Phantasm bar. Compared to previous multi-HP bar boss fights (especially since it's likely you just survived the all too tanky Qin Shi Huang), this one's a positively welcome break—at least until you have to fight the Lostbelt's Tree of Emptiness again.
Gameplay and Story Segregation: Much like Abigail, Musashi, and the Lostbelt Kings, Xiang Yu should not be able to summoned prior to the events of the third lostbelt as he was deemed too unheroic for him to even qualify as a heroic spirit. It was only after Yu Mei-run ascended to the throne of heroes to explain her side of story that he can be qualified as a heroic spirit. Despite this, he can be summoned long before the players completed his lostbelt. Made even worst as unlike Abigail, Musashi, and the Lostbelt Kings, he's a non-limited servant that isn't story-locked; making it more likely for players to summon him than those aforementioned servants.
Gentle Giant: Despite his incredibly terrifying appearance, he speaks in a calm and composed manner in his My Room dialogue, and is quite courteous towards the player.
Grew Beyond Their Programming: While he was made to enforce, strategize, and destroy, his love for his wife caused him to grow as an individual, even making him capable of composing poetry as The Song of Gaixian demonstrates.
Hero with Bad Publicity: He originally could not be summoned as a Servant due to going down in history as a horrible demon king with no admirers or people to extol of his legends or his true motivations. It's only after Yu Mei-ren ascends to the Throne of Heroes and takes her knowledge of the real Xiang Yu with her that he becomes eligible to be summoned.
Hyper-Competent Sidekick: The Proper Human History version of Xiang Yu ultimately became this to Liu Bang, not that Liu Bang realized this. While he waited for his new lord to reaches his full potential as an emperor, he ended up going into the fray to eliminate any warlords who would dethrone Liu Bang. When he still needed more time to grow into a proper ruler even with all the warlords on his side, he decided to help him by reducing the land to a manageable size by killing people and burning the land. He ended up fulfilling his mission to bring peace to China when everyone united together to bring an end to him.
I Can Still Fight!: Played for full drama. Despite his injuries and everyone telling him to stop, even Yu Mei-ren herself, he refuses to stand down because it would mean Chaldea would destroy the Tree of Emptiness and his love will be separated from him all over again, something he cannot bring himself to let her suffer.
I Work Alone: Xiang Yu has always fought alone in pursuit of a desired outcome, which proves to be his undoing in the finale of the Chinese Lostbelt. He never had any peers with which to hone his strength nor had he ever faced opponents that could match him while working together, allowing Nezha to land a lethal blow after Mash stops one of his attacks. Even with the support of his beloved Yu Mei-ren, he could not land a decisive blow against such opponents.
The Juggernaut: He's noted as so strong in SIN that even fighting nearly all of Chaldea's available fighters at once (Mash, Holmes, Mordred, Spartacus, and Jing Ke) during their first encounter, he still holds his own while still only "warming up", even admitting he only did so to gain their measure to plan a proper strategy against them.
Lightning Bruiser: He has A-rank Strength, Endurance and Agility. Although he has an Evade skill, he's still as much of a Glass Cannon as most other Berserkers in-gameplay.
Multi-Armed and Dangerous: Has four arms, all wielding swords. He gains another set during his ascensions.
Multi-Melee Master: He charges into battle with six swords normally, but he's apparently equally skilled with a spear that he lends to Yu Mei-ren as part of her Summer Spirit Origin.
The Needs of the Many: Will do anything to ensure the survival and prosperity of China, even if it leaves the love of his life all on her lonesome, and even if it means making "the many" much, much, much less "many".
Non-Standard Character Design: Even among servants with non-standard artwork, Xiang Yu greatly stands out among all of them, with having a terrifyingly photorealistic design.
Only Known by Their Nickname: In Proper Human History, his real name of "Kuaiji Zero" as given to him by Qin Shi Huang has long been forgotten, leaving him only with the name Xiang Yu.
Our Centaurs Are Different: Thanks to his further modifications by Qin Shi Huang, he now resembles a centaur automaton. Further ascensions proceed to make him look like some sort of hellish hooved demon.
Poor Communication Kills: His biggest flaw in life was the fact that he never bothered to properly communicate why he did the things he did, causing normal people to see him as a tyrannical demon due to not being able perceive his inhuman way of thinking. In his Interlude, he is shown doing a lot of strange things which turns out to be because he used his future prediction to prevent bad things from happening, such as crashing a party held by Jack, Nursery Rhyme and Ibaraki and smashing their cake as it was made by Serenity, without properly explaining why he did all those things.
Sequential Boss: He is fought a number of times throughout "Lostbelt No. 3: The Synchronized Intellect Nation, SIN", each battle is getting tougher over time except his final encounter. The first few only require him losing his first Break Bar to get the victory condition, but eventually he does need to be fought in all his glory.
Serial Escalation: Thanks to his deformed centaur state, he's even taller than Ivan the Terrible.
Sickeningly Sweethearts: He and his wife, Yu Mei-ren, were incredibly close in life and referred to each other as "beloved" constantly. During the fifth Summer Event, Yu Mei-ren's and Xiang Yu's interactions are so lovey-dovey that Chaldea's staff can see actual pink hearts floating around.
Sickly Green Glow: Similar to Darius's, but his molten, mutated body makes it look even more sinister.
Strong and Skilled: He's a Lightning Bruiser and a Genius Bruiser mixed into one, which is commented upon by Mordred, Spartacus and Jing Ke after the first battle where they note he has both monstrous physical abilities yet also the tactical mind to use them to their fullest without wasteful movement.
Super-Scream: During Imaginary Scramble, he lets out an ear-splitting roar while simultaneously drawing a map, employing echolocation to chart the Nautilus's whereabouts.
Super-Toughness: His introduction in "Lostbelt No. 3: The Synchronized Intellect Nation, SIN" has him riding a rocket to Chaldea's location only to be blasted out of the sky by Mordred's Clarent Blood Arthur. He climbs out of the wreckage barely injured and states he only judges his opponent's threat level at "minimal" as he starts warming up.
Undying Loyalty: To Qin Shi Huang, his emperor and creator, to the point if ordered he would commit suicide without hesitation. At least, that's how it used to be. Once he learns who Akuta is and her history with his Proper Human History counterpart, Xiang Yu's loyalty shifts to her alone, refusing to stand down even by Qin Shi Huang's direct command by noting he has already been released from their service.
Unholy Matrimony: Was romantically involved with his concubine, Yu Mei-ren, who was renowned for her beauty. She also happened to be a True Ancestor and one of Akuta's past aliases.
Well-Intentioned Extremist: In his life he tried to create a peaceful world. He did so by leaving a trail of death and destruction that helped stabilize China in the long run.
You Are Number 6: His original name is "Kuajii Zero", but he was given the name Xiang Yu by the man who discovered him, Xiang Liang, and passed off as his nephew in an attempt to take over China.
Zero-Effort Boss: Very much Played for Drama. He only has one health bar in his final fight against him and a permanent DEF Down debuff alongside both a 1000 HP demerit every turn and the inability to charge his NP, making it extremely easy to utterly destroy him. Considering he's only fighting you here in a desperate attempt to defend a world where he and his love can finally be together, it's not exactly a good feeling to do so.
