Main Characters
Gudako/Ritsuka Fujimaru/The Female Protagonist
- Voiced by: Tomoko Kaneda
For tropes for her in Fate/Grand Order, see "Nameless Master" under the villain page.
- Adaptational Badass: Played for Laughs. In the main series she has to command her Servants. Here, she THRASHES them. With a psychotic glee.
- Adaptational Jerkass: Whereas Ritsuka is a kind-hearted master who cares for her Servants in F/GO, Gudako is a Memetic Psychopath/Molester who treats her Servants like trash.
- Adaptational Sexuality: In Grand Order she's merely Ambiguously Bi, but here she's depicted as a raging Psycho Lesbian.
- Apathy Killed the Cat: She only cares about gathering Servants and is uninterested in learning the actual plot of FGO. She tends to skip cutscenes and dialogue.
- Eventually averted later on, when she finally stops lazing around and actually starts Part 2 - if only because she saw the 5th Anniversary PV and is eager to see if there's going to be Mash x Olga content.
- Audience Surrogate: Even more so than her canon self, incorporating common playstyles of mobile gamers and even newcomers to Fate. Her open lusting over female Servants and love of yuri works also represents fans who do the same in real life.
- Bad Boss: Only comes in during events, maxes out her servants' affections and then locks them up for days... It's no wonder an alternate version of her was a boss battle.
- Beautiful Dreamer: Olga sees her asleep and says she looks pure.
- Beat Still, My Heart: Her heart has animated separately from her head and now rolls around in an Olympus-designed semi-spherical car with decorations resembling her original hair.
- Berserk Button: Of all her complaints and gripes, the most recurring source of her anger is the inability to skip Noble Phantasm animations.
- Born Unlucky: It's suggested that part of the reason for her addiction and her resentment for the devs is that she is very unlucky with rolls. Her boss battle in All the Statesmen has her team consisting entirely of welfares and variants of Altria.
- Brilliant, but Lazy: She is incredibly powerful and could probably ably handle most of the game's events, but so bored and lustful that she doesn't care to try. It's often implied that her Servants aren't maxed out or even close to it; Jeanne isn't even at Bond level 4.
- Deranged Animation: Most evident in the original sketch at the end of the animated adaptation, where the art style of her character spirals into utter gibberish mid-scene as she herself flies off the handle. Well, moreso than usual.
- Distracted by the Sexy: She tends to get lost in her fantasies a lot (whether it's herself groping Nightingale or Mash's secret tryst with Olga). Mash occasionally uses it to get away from her.
- Dull Eyes of Unhappiness: Yes and no. While her eyes are permanently open and don't reflect light, she is anything but unhappy most of the time.
- Establishing Character Moment: You know Gudako is a psycho when in the very first chapter, she strangles Olga Marie because she's the protagonist and demanding Olga Marie to 'know her place' because of that.
- Fangirl: According to the pre-release magazine strip, she used to play THE iDOLM@STER: Cinderella Girls Starlight Stage.
- The Gambling Addict: Treats rolling the gacha like this, even warning servants not to end up like her.
- Giant Woman: After being turned into a Demi-Servant by the Casters.
- God in Human Form: She once served as a Demi-Servant after being healed by the Casters, who turned her into a vessel for the god Daikokuten.
- Hates Being Alone: Well, she certainly becomes more unstable when separated from Mash, to the point of liberally using Command Seals to force her other Servants into cosplay and compulsively adding "cute" suffixes in their speech.
- Heroic Comedic Sociopath: A serial harasser, self-absorbed, and won't give any Servant not named Mash or Saber the time of day. The sheer scope of her neuroses is wide, but it's almost always Played for Laughs.
- Inexplicably Awesome: There's no given explanation for how powerful she is. At one point, when asked how she lived for 12,000 years, she explained it as a triumph of the human spirit.
- Kiss Me, I'm Virtual: When not molesting the real Mash, she enjoys the company of the VR version. At one point, she switched to a VR version of herself, so that she could roleplay as Mash.
- Mythology Gag: Named after Nobunaga's placeholder nickname for her canon self in Fate/GUDAGUDA Order.
- Nominal Hero: A fairly extreme case; she is essentially the protagonist only by virtue of being based on the actual Ritsuka. Her utter refusal to actually do anything heroic has gotten so bad at points that other characters have to step in and do the story for her.
- No Name Given: Only referred to as "Protagonist" in-series, though in one strip she refers to herself as "Ritsuka Fujimaru" (her canon self's name) in order to get Jeanne to drop her guard in confusion. We only know her real name through the volume notes and stage shows. Fans have taken to calling her "Riyo Gudako", after her illustrator, to differentiate her from the "real" Gudako, however.
- Perpetual Smiler: Her (and Gudao's) faces are almost always drawn with a wide, gaping smile, even in situations where she's upset or angry. In such cases, her perma-smile further accentuates her deranged mind and questionable sanity.
- Pop-Cultural Osmosis Failure: She actually doesn't know much of anything about the rest of the Fate franchise; her first experience outside of the game was watching the movie version of Heaven's Feel, and she mostly recognized the characters as "those guys on the craft essences."
- Psycho Lesbian: The most unhinged member of the cast bar none, and her lust for the female Servants goes without statement.
- Really 700 Years Old: She's been at least twelve thousand years old ever since Roman tried using rayshifting to get rid of her. It didn't stick. (Considering how Nasuverse magic works, it probably just made her stronger.)
- Rule-Abiding Rebel: According to Assassin, this is her true weakness; she may draw most of her personality from complaining about the game and its developers, but she can never actually break out complaints that would make people want to stop playing. One of her biggest fears is the relationship between her and the devs becoming "like pro wrestling."
- Screw Yourself:
- She once experimented with VR where she roleplays as Mash to make out with a digital version of herself.
- Upon looking at Olga Marie disguised as her, her first thought was "She was cuter than me."
- The Slow Path: How she survived one attempt by Roman and Jeanne to get rid of her. They sent her into the distant past, and she walked back into shot with nothing to show for it but Clothing Damage.
- Unexplained Recovery: Happens twice.
- After Rider destroys Chaldea by lighting old film reels on fire, she reappears just 2 chapters later with the cast showing some surprise when she just comes back
- After her gigantic Caster form is destroyed by Rider, she reappears to bully Assassin with no fanfare.
- Torn Apart by the Mob: After the Crypters succeed in tearing her apart like a doll, they divvy up the pieces so she can't reassemble herself. Akuta, who gets the head (the head suggested it, by the way), is understandably horrified when it reanimates and starts growing her body back. Not even the fact the head is now a cheery Nice Girl after being detoxed by dumping her in a water-filled jar for two weeks can stop the fear the Crypter feels when forced to interact with the entity. It doesn't really help that at least according to Ophelia, the other parts are inert.
- Unsympathetic Comedy Protagonist: A pretty textbook example. She's hedonistic, dimwitted, and whiny, which is where most of her jokes derive from.
- We Can Rebuild Him:
- After getting impaled by Lancer, the Casters bring her to a hideout where they claim to be making "improvements" on her body. Oh, and by "improvements", they mean a towering, obese monstrosity of a Caster with three 999,999 HP bars.
- In a more horrifying way, Mash steals the leg Ophelia was guarding when she was torn to pieces and takes it to the head Akuta was left with, though they have not combined back into a single entity. Mash also proposes to make a Body of Bodies made from Crypter parts to rebuild her.
- As of New Years 2024, her heart was seperately revived as the Heart Drive for an orb robot, apparently having been built from Olympus technology offscreen.
- The Worf Effect: She's just about the strongest character in the series, so you could tell something was up when Lancer gored her in a single panel.
- Yuri Fan: It should be obvious enough by just her being a Psycho Lesbian, but some of the Servants even set up an entire Lostbelt of yuri and yuri merchandise just to trap her in it, because they know she's into it all.
Mash Kyrielight
Click here for Shielder.
- Voiced by: Rie Takahashi
- Adaptational Sexuality: Most accounts claim that the Mash in the main game isn't romantically interested in the female protagonist (...
most accounts). Mash here... not so much. It's not even Single-Target Sexuality, as she ends up developing a fondness for Olga Marie as well (albeit initially only while Olga Marie is dressed as Gudako). - Affectionate Nickname: Usually referred to as "Mashu" or some variation of "Eggplant" by Gudako.
- Blasé Boast: She had a habit of doing this upon obtaining her current main Servant, Atalanta Alter, a rare four-star from the second half of the story. Unfortunately for her, it didn't win her any favors because people either got annoyed at her for bragging or thought Mash's Atalanta wasn't very impressive.
- Butt-Monkey: Pretty much Gudako's #1 'punching bag'.
- Happiness in Slavery: Even so, and despite all the abuse Gudako puts her through, Mash seems to be genuinely fond and even loving of her, and over time she has grown more accepting and even seemingly eager for Gudako's sexual advances.
- Hidden Depths: She's supposedly a Buddhist.
- Not So Above It All: Despite normally being the moral and reasonable one, Mash has often shown off a sillier and more malicious side.
- Pet the Dog: Despite their common relationship, she tends to be on the receiving end of this from Gudako, such as Gudako defending her from players decrying her as weak.
- Screw Yourself: Develops a fondness for "VR Mash".
- Take a Third Option: Her response to being told to consider her hypersexual relationship with Gudako versus her more genial and equal one with Olga was to book it while announcing her intention to save them both. Notably, Rider tried to sweeten the deal further by giving her the choice between happily picking Olga and reluctantly picking Olga.
- Too Kinky to Torture: After a while of living with Gudako, it becomes second nature. Her reaction to Olga Marie saying the creepiest and most disgusting pickup line she could imagine was to develop a massive Luminescent Blush and a nosebleed.
- Took a Level in Badass: Hanging around the female protagonist has toughened up Mash mentally due to all the abuse she suffers. One example is her forcing Olga Marie to dress up as the female protagonist because Mash likes being in charge for once.
Olga Marie Animusphere/Director
- Voiced by: Madoka Yonezawa
- Adaptational Nice Guy: Olga Marie in canon wasn't evil, but she was, in a lot of respects, kind of a jerk. However, her flaws don't really express themselves here when she's also a Butt-Monkey, and as a result, she ends up being one of the more goodhearted and friendly characters.
- Aren't You Going to Ravish Me?: Has had this reaction to Gudako and Mash a few times.
- Ascended Extra: Due to being Spared by the Adaptation, she has a bigger role here than in the game.
- Authority in Name Only: Though she's considered the Director of Chaldea, Gudako established the pecking order very quickly.
- Back from the Dead: Gudako just literally yoinked her back from...wherever the heck Lev Lainur shoved her into in this 'verse. While looking no worse for wear, Olga Marie understandably prefers to stay "dead" than coming back as Gudako's plaything.
- Becoming the Mask: Olga Marie's brief stint impersonating Gudako ended up rubbing a few of her traits on. She's gotten much more cheeky with Mash after spending most of her time in-disguise faux-harassing her.
- Bribing Your Way to Victory: Olga Marie is descended from a noble family, which means she can whale pretty freely. Unfortunately, she doesn't seem all that great at the actual gameplay part, if the mentions of her spamming Saint Quartz are anything to go by.
- Butt-Monkey: Not even the Director of Chaldea herself is safe from Gudako's wrath, and pretty much every joke about her role in the game's story will be at her expense.
- Decomposite Character: While Gudako has the appearance of the female protagonist but her personality is mostly made-up, Olga Marie has her canon design but tends to act more like Ritsuka's heroic canon personality, reinforced by the fact that she actually tries to do the story mode.
- Everyone Calls Him "Barkeep": Gets called "Director" by near everyone, Gudako especially. It's suggested in one strip that the majority of people in Chaldea don't actually remember her name.
- Identity Impersonator: One of her new roles involves passing herself as Gudako and actually trying to make some progress in the story. After Gudako's Unexplained Recovery, Mash again hands Olga a Gudako wig and uniform.
- Irony: The main game and various materials have revealed one of Olga Marie's greatest sources of angst is that she can't be a Master who saves humanity and contribute to her family's cause in that way. In this continuity, Olga Marie has inadvertently become just that...because the actual "savior" can't actually be bothered to do the main story and leaving her to pick up the slack through impersonation.
- Once Done, Never Forgotten: Many of her appearances involve the fact that the only thing most people remember her for is dying horribly in the prologue. It certainly doesn't help her that the crew also enjoys watching the First Order special, which depicted said death.
- Spared by the Adaptation: Instead of melting horrifically, she's doing fine and dandy inside Chaldea (itself depicted as a pleasant city). After Gudako pulls her out, she's back to being director as usual.
Altria Pendragon/Saber
- Voiced by: Ayako Kawasumi
- Big Eater: She's the one who seems to get the lion's share of materials, which is expressed by her eating almost constantly.
- Brilliant, but Lazy: Can one-shot a Demon Pillar on her own, but doesn't bother to fight until Gudako throws her a mini-pie.
- Character Exaggeration: Her cool and composed nature is exaggerated into sheer disinterest in everything around her.
- Composite Character: One of her Craft Essence cameos shows her packing Excalibur, her Archer self's water gun, and her Lancer self's Rhongomyniad.
- Extreme Doormat: Averted; unlike the other Servants or characters who are usually helpless to do anything but complain or beg when Gudako starts getting physical (usually of the sexual variety), Altria has shown herself to be one of the few who has actually gotten into a fistfight with Gudako and given as good as she's got (over a game of soccer, sure, but it's a lot more rebellious than most of her Servants would be willing to openly show off).
- Extreme Omnivore: She'll eat anything, including living Fous, Udon Servants, and other copies of herself.
- I'm a Humanitarian: Gudako once
fed her duplicate copies of herself to level her NP, which she ate with chopsticks. She's a thorough eater, too, as all that's left are bloodied pieces of armor. Olga Marie is Forced to Watch, though much of the dirty business isn't shown. - Morality Pet: She seems to act as one to Gudako at times. Gudako almost never mistreats or molests Altria like she does the other Servants and seems to have a certain fondness for her outside of lust, all likely relating to how she's her first 5*. It also could be simply that even Gudako is afraid of invoking her anger.
- Perpetual Frowner: She and any of her renditions almost never have any expression on aside from a frown.
- Phallic Weapon: Apparently raising her to NP5 gives Excalibur properties of a penis.
- The Stoic: Her face almost never changes from its frowning form and she's never taken by surprise by the zany schemes going on around her.
- The Voiceless: She's never shown vocalizing, but the other characters can seemingly understand her simply based on her body language. She does speak in the stage show, though.
- Who Names Their Kid "Dude"?: Chapter 3 of More Learning with Manga! FGO mocks her name, albeit the joke differs between the original Japanese and the offical English:
- In the original Japanese, the joke is centered around Pendragon as in Japanese, the word for dragon, ryu, is a common stock name that can be found in delinquent or criminal characters.
- The official translation instead goes for a Biting-the-Hand Humor approach about how the localization team is forced to use "Altria" instead of the fan preferred/more acceptable "Artoria/Arturia".
Recurring Characters
Gudako's Servants
Altera
- Voiced by: Mamiko Noto
- Catchphrase: "Good/Bad Civilization".
- Cloud Cuckoolander: She believes Saint Quartzes are grown from fragments like trees from seeds.
- Felony Misdemeanor: She had a dream where the game instituted PVP battles, ranking systems, and rank-based rewards. This enraged her so much that she broke out the Photon Ray and began screaming about obliterating the game.
- Friend to All Children: Despite her supposed 'adult age', Altera gets along with the children Servants and tends to protect them from whatever she proclaims as, you guessed it, bad civilizations.
- The Gambling Addict: Of a different flavor than our Protagonist, as she seems to be more concerned with using and getting more Saint Quartz than actually gambling. Though she still takes gacha rolling extremely seriously and any attempt or even rumor of attempts at tampering with this earns her wrath. Not helped by how the Protagonist keeps prodding her about it.I see, this gacha is bad civilization. Destroy it!
- Kindhearted Simpleton: She's one of the more well-intentioned and kindly members of the cast... and she's also dumb as a rock and eccentric on the best of days.
- Miss Conception: Much of the belowmentioned Sustained Misunderstanding comes from her belief that you can make babies by kissing.
- Ship Tease: Ever since their kidnapping by the Child Kingdom, she's been heavily implied to be in a relationship with Helena. Whenever the subject comes up, they both get... very awkward.
- Skewed Priorities: She prioritizes accumulating Saint Quartz to the degree that she actually looks forward to maintenance, being of the belief that more maintenance means more "apology Quartz."
- Super Gullible: Seems totally incapable of detecting the Protagonist's manipulation of her, and taking hearsay of gacha adjustments extremely seriously otherwise.
- Sustained Misunderstanding: After brief, separate misunderstandings with both Jeanne and Helena, both of which she keeps up by being way too terrified to ask for clarification, she ends up thinking she's Archer's father.
- Taking Advantage of Generosity: She complains to Tamamo how Archer's appearance has screwed up her life, even though she had nothing to do with her birth. Tamamo offers to explain to Helena that neither she nor Altera has done anything untoward, and Altera cheerfully agrees, wishing her the best of luck. The frustrated Tamamo makes it clear she's not going to skip out of giving the explanation herself.
- The Thing That Would Not Leave: Altera starts staying with Tamamo to Tamamo's annoyance.
- The Voiceless: Kind of. While she does speak in the manga and animated adaptation, Altera is mute in the stage shows. Gudako pokes fun at this by saying that the stage show is too stupid for Altera's voice actor to want to attend.
Elizabeth Báthory
- Voiced by: Rumi Ōkubo
- Draconic Humanoid: minor, but present.
- Heterosexual Life-Partners: With Kiyohime... well, not if Marie has anything to say about it.
- Made a Slave: Well, more like Made a Maid. She and Kiyohime are sold to Helena by Lancer.
- You Have Outlived Your Usefulness: After Gudako reaches Bond 10 with her, she gets sent to the Second Archive. It's fairly clear that despite assurances otherwise, Gudako was done with Elisabeth.
Kiyohime
- Voiced by: Risa Taneda
- Cuckold: Originally claimed that she wouldn't star in a porno with this as the subject with Mash, declaring that her body is only for her Master, but changed her mind after Rabbit Ears mentioned that the subject matter was one of Gudako's fetishes.
- Heterosexual Life-Partners: Seemingly heterosexual anyhow, with Elisabeth.
- Made a Slave: Sold to Helena as a maid along with Elizabeth by Lancer.
- Snake People: Unlike in the game, where she has a humanoid shape but is capable of turning into a dragon, this Kiyohime has a serpentine tail instead of a lower body.
Jeanne d'Arc
- Voiced by: Maaya Sakamoto
- Butt-Monkey: Not as bad as Mash, but if she shows up you can bet some sort of misfortune will befall her, especially if she's the focus. In one strip, Gudako mentions she does this intentionally in the hopes that one day she'll snap and turn into her more popular Avenger form.
- The End Is Nigh: Temporarily took up the role of a doomsayer when she mistook the original-creation Berserker as the Pale Rider of Apocalypse. It also became the image source of the FGO meme "Rate Up Is A Lie".
- Gameplay and Story Segregation: Her True Name Revelation skill doesn't actually, you know, reveal a person's True Name, instead being a debuff skill. Realizing this puts her in a Heroic BSoD.
- Iron Butt Monkey: As the game's most notorious Stone Wall, she tends to take an alarming amount of abuse without much issue, including being backstabbed by Jack, left in a room filled with hands for months on end, and taking the destruction of Chaldea head-on (albeit getting stunned in the process because Gudako didn't do her interludes yet). To date, the only thing that has been shown to actually kill her is Gudako after Jeanne tried to play suckup.
- Joke Item: Instead of the flag she uses in the regular game, she has a koinobori.
- Nice Girl: Always praises the dev team's efforts unlike her master, which is why Gudako considers her dangerous.
- Once Done, Never Forgotten: Much to her dismay, it seems the majority of people remember her for being burned to death. When she was pressed into running for office, Marie tried to make "The torch that burns for a brighter tomorrow!" her campaign slogan.
- The Pollyanna: Despite being constantly crushed by both the flaws of the game and the cruelty of her Master, Jeanne has managed to stay pretty cheerful. Mostly.
Marie Antoinette
The Queen of France, Rider-class Servant, an extremely rich and innocent Servant that gets along with everyone and likes getting involved with movies (especially romances).
- Blackmail: She goes along with acting on Rabbit Ears' films, but she holds the real power and is able to manipulate the script because if it doesn't go her way, she could just stop investing her boatloads of money in the film. Even Rabbit Ears ended up shocked with eyes open on this, prompting her to obey Marie's instructions.
- Enforced Method Acting: In-universe. During her first gig at acting, since it was based on her real life experience, Marie ended up giving a very realistic crying performance.
- Everyone Has Standards: She’s absolutely willing to use her money and power to influence the world as she wishes... but when Assassin suggest slander against Bunyan as an election tactic, she finds the idea so horrifically cruel she bursts into tears.Marie: How unbelievably crude! Bunyan doesn’t have anything like that!Martha: [to Assassin] You’ve made Her Majesty cry! Die!
- Historical In-Joke: Her preferences may be a callout to the real Marie Antoinette, who was widely theorized to be a lesbian during her lifetime.
- Irony: After becoming the queen of Russian Lostbelt, she has gotten a growing interest on decapitating Osakabehime with a guillotine. Remember, Marie's death by the guillotine is possibly the most famous execution done by Charles-Henri Sanson.
- Know When to Fold 'Em: Jack the Ripper (who has a higher rarity, class advantage, and an attack bonus against female targets) rolled up to the Yuri Singularity with the goal of annexing it into the Child Federation. Martha was prepared to fight to the death, but Marie immediately broke out the white flag, declaring privately that she would work from the inside to co-opt it for her own agenda. (Well, she is French, after all.)
- Yuri Fan: So much that she taught Altera that french kisses are her country's usual greeting. She's declared the King of the Yuri Singularity. In one comic, she just straight-up says that she doesn't especially care if something doesn't involve yuri.
Jack the Ripper
- Voiced by: Sakura Tange
- Troubling Unchildlike Behavior: She always seems to stab someone/something with absolute glee in all of her appearances.
- Young Entrepreneur: She at one point made a business of selling critical stars for 100 yen apiece. She made them by stabbing Nursery Rhyme and Berserker, noting that they'd come back.
Nursery Rhyme
- Voiced by: Ai Nonaka
- Adaptational Villainy: Fittingly, since her Master is Gudako, she's much nastier than she's ever been in canon.
- Creepy Child: In general, if Nursery Rhyme is on her own, she tends to be a bullying target. When she's with Jack and the rest of the Child Kingdom, she tends to be a violent, cruel, conniving rebel.
- Loophole Abuse: She establishes the Children's Kingdom, and immediately pushes Berserker and Archer as her candidates for the presidency and vice presidency, respectively. When Jeanne Alter Santa Lily points out that only adults can vote, she reveals she's kidnapped Medea and Boudica (among others) to vote.
Thomas Edison
Caster-class Servant, an infamous inventor/publisher who happens to have a lion head. Also, Rabbit Ears absolutely hates him.
- Butt-Monkey: Rabbit Ears's hatred of him really doesn't tend to work out in his favor, especially with Helena so often indisposed with her family.
- Super-Deformed: Due to the comic art style, Edison stands out with this trope as his head becomes super cuddly and non-threatening.
- Unwilling Suspension: He tends to end up in this position courtesy of Rabbit Ears trying to murder him.
Tamamo-no-Mae
- Voiced by: Chiwa Saitō
- Adaptational Nice Guy: Tamamo can be quite the jerk in canon, but her incarnation here is generally one of the nicest Servants. One comic has Altera openly wondering why she's considered evil.
- Horrible Judge of Character: In one strip, Tamamo begins doing her usual routine of waxing poetic about how she sees her Master as the perfect spouse and aspires to be her Master's wife. This provokes Jeanne to wonder if they're talking about the same person.
- No-Sell: She's completely oblivious to being stabbed in the head by one of Jack's huge daggers, as a result of type advantage. Jeanne, who shares that type advantage, reacts with some shock before pulling the dagger out and continuing the conversation.
- Only Sane Man: Tamamo spends a lot of her screentime pointing out the insanity around her such as some of Altera's sillier ideas.
- Single-Target Sexuality: Per canon, Tamamo only has eyes for the Master, which in this case is heavily implied to be Gudako, whom she refers to as her husband and with whom she wants to bear children. Noticing the impossibility of this, Jeanne wonders if they're both talking about the same person.
Helena Blavatsky
Russian occultist and Caster, and one of Edison's closest friends. Has developed an oddball relationship with Altera.
- Aliens Made Them Do It: After being kidnapped by the Child Kingdom and paired up with Altera, as part of a scheme to "increase the population." Weirdly, it seems that it stuck.
- Ship Tease: Ever since the child kingdom incident, her and Altera have essentially been treated as partners. Whenever it comes up, they tend to get awkward.
Jeanne d'Arc Santa Alter Lily
The result of Jeanne d'Arc Alter drinking a youth potion and attempting to be Santa Claus. Friends with Jack and Nursery Rhyme, so she spends most of her time with them in the Child Kingdom.
- Only Sane Man: Of the Child Kingdom, usually pointing out Nursery Rhyme's insane and stupid ideas.
Gudao's Gang
"Gudao"/The Male Protagonist
- Voiced by: Tomoko Kaneda
No, this isn't Gudako when she decided to change her gender like in the actual game. This is actually a different person that just happened to appear into Chaldea out of nowhere and then also started doing things there. He's less sociopathic than Gudako (or is he?), but has an obsession with feminine boys like Astolfo, or characters feminine enough to potentially be boys in disguise like d'Eon or Da Vinci.
- A Lighter Shade of Black: Though he's not much less creepy than his counterpart, he tends to at least pretend to want to be a hero and complete the game's challenges (if only as a means of seeing lots of cute boys), where Gudako just doesn't care at all.
- Adaptational Sexuality: In Grand Order he only has Ship Tease with female Servants, but here he's depicted as being exclusively into feminine-looking boys (and anyone who might pass as one).
- Ambiguously Related: His situation with Gudako is weird, not least because they interact very rarely so it's hard to parse out how they relate to one another, and in the game, they're the same person. Whether he's her brother, her friend, an alternate version of herself, or a complete stranger, the only thing Gudako has ever had to say on the issue is that they apparently hang out and practice wrestling.
- Boisterous Weakling: While he's prideful and thinks of himself as a hero, he's nowhere near as proficient or dangerous as his pretend pro-wrestling partner. He fights much less often, has lost frequently and only defeated one person on-panel (and seems to have only won because of his opponent being disturbed by him), and the only Servants under his command appear to be Astolfo and some welfare Siegs. Ironically, he managed to get to Part 2 before Gudako, so presumably he's doing something right.
- Comedic Shotacon: When he first hears of the Children Kingdom, the first thing he imagines is a bunch of the boyish servants running around in their underwear. Later when his quest for cute boy Paris has him becoming an enemy of Pan-Human History. Like everything else in this series, it's Played for Laughs.
- Crossdressing Voice: As opposed to the default Ritsuka Fujimaru, who is voiced by the male Nobunaga Shimazaki, the male protagonist is voiced by Gudako's seiyuu when she's doing a boy voice.
- Escalating Chase: Eventually gets chased out of Chaldea by everyone he's ever annoyed. Mainly Kadoc and Anastasia.
- Eviler than Thou: Anastasia's attempts to defeat him using hardcore furry yuri not only completely unfazed him, but made him casually hand her his furry yaoi. It disgusted her so badly that she tried to kill him on the spot.
- Face–Heel Turn: He attempts to join the Crypters out of sheer disappointment with Goredolf for unfriending him while he was desperate to earn Friend Points to roll Paris. His cluelessness ends up with him begging Tamamo, presumably mistaking her for Koyanskaya, to let him in her circle.
- Full-Frontal Assault: When Da Vinci punched him out fairly easily, he managed to defeat her in the rematch by taking off his pants and underwear, declaring that she wouldn't able to fight a man wearing no pants. Da Vinci finds it so disturbing that she refuses to open her eyes until he puts them back on. He then lies about how he did already, annoying her further.
- Human Shield: Astolfo uses him in this fashion against Goredolf's Gof Punch, despite being a Servant and thus much less vulnerable to it than his Master.
- Insane Troll Logic: Why did he walk in naked before getting into bed? Because he didn't want to waste XP if he fought using a maxed Mystic Code. Why doesn't he just switch to a different Code? Well, they'd all be maxed eventually, so might as well not use them at all. Astolfo quickly points out that this makes no sense, at which he breaks down and admits he just wanted to sleep naked with Astolfo (at which Astolfo lets him do anyway).
- Jizzed in My Pants: When he imagines getting a lewd Ascension of Astolfo, Male Protagonist looks like he can barely contain his lust. The animated version has his groin twitch a few times while he's writhing in post-orgasmic bliss thinking about that mental image.
- Manipulative Bastard: After being run out of Chaldea, he somehow ends in the Atlantis Lostbelt, where he introduces himself to Caenis as the newest Crypter even though she knows him as a Chaldea Master. He then proceeds to confuse Caenis into doubting Kischtaria and stomp off to ask him what's going on, and he takes the chance to order Astolfo to follow her.
- He later elevates this to a verbal form of Confusion Fu, "forgiving" Kadoc and Anastasia for joining forces with Chaldea when it was he that switched sides. Anastasia has to remind Kadoc not to get caught in his babbling nonsense.
- Masculine–Feminine Gay Couple: Invoked by him, considering the Servants he surrounds himself with. In terms of regular pairings, he's often trying to get with the very feminine Astolfo.
- No Name Given: Unlike Gudako, his name is just left to "Protagonist" whenever he shows up.
- Not-So-Harmless Villain: The male protagonist so far was shown to be at the very least harmless, only focusing on his obsession with feminine boys. In strip 62 of Even More, he's shown to be at least on par with Gudako in terms of depravity (as far as the comic allowed) when he had Gordolf Musik Strapped to an Operating Table and then turned him into a statue with the permission of Da Vinci. Gordolf shows up just fine in a later strip.
- Perpetual Smiler: Shares this trait with Gudako, always having the same wide mouth-opened smile even when he is angry or sad.
- Shipper on Deck: He starts shipping Astolfo with Sieg after watching Fate/Apocrypha. Even asking his Astolfo if he ends up with Sieg.
- Skewed Priorities:
- His main reason to fight against Gudako's gigantic Caster form, who will turn every single summon into a 5-Star? He hasn't pulled Paris.
- Later, he drops the entire fight for humanity and "joins" the Crypters when he notices he's getting dumped from Friend Lists because he put up the less-than-impressive Astolfo with a non-MLB Bella Lisa equipped as his Support Servant.
- Straight Gay: Has the same looks as his canon self, with just about the only campy thing about him being how enthusiastic he gets about his massive boy-lust. Even his attraction to Da Vinci is based in hoping she "has one".
- Super Gullible: Wodime gives him a decorative plant and tells him it's a Fantasy Tree sapling, and he believes it.
- Trans Chaser: He like feminine boys and anyone ambiguous enough to pass as one. Bizarrely, he also likes the male-turned-female Da Vinci, but under the assumption she's a crossdressing man.
Astolfo
- Voiced by: Rumi Ōkubo
The Male Protagonist's favored Servant. Like Mash, he's often the target of sexual harassment and attempts to be the voice of reason, but he's now mostly resigned to the madness.
- Dude Looks Like a Lady: His androgynous looks are the reason he was summoned in the first place.
- Irony: Astolfo is generally depicted as being the ditz of the Fate series. But since he is placed into a gag manga setting, he ends up appearing more reasonable than most of the cast.
- No Guy Wants to Be Chased: Is often annoyed by the Male Protagonist's infatuation with him. For the most part, though, Astolfo likes being in a relationship; he just finds most of the Male Protagonist's weird ploys and attitudes to be annoying.
- Not So Above It All: While he's outwardly reigned in compared to the other Servants, one strip did have him willingly get roped into saying he wants to be used.note
- Overrated and Underleveled: Considering how much attention Gudao puts into Astolfo, you'd think that he would be fully maxed out. But first skit regarding Servant Coins reveals that Gudao doesn't have enough Astolfo Servant Coins to make any enhancements to him, which in gameplay terms means that he only has gotten a single copy of him.
- Savvy Guy, Energetic Girl: A male and male who looks like a female example. He's the savvy one compared to his Master's high-energy antics.
- Straight Man: Well, not that kind, but in his relationship with Gudao, he tends to be the more moral, sensible, and reasonable one. Which, coming from someone who has Evaporation of Reason as a skill, is kind of indicative of how badly things have broken down.
Leonardo Da Vinci
- Voiced by: Maaya Sakamoto
- Black Bead Eyes: As a holdover from the design of her April Fools' CG for Grand Order.
- Butt-Monkey: Takes most of the physical humor in the team.
- Decomposite Character: Da Vinci gave her Part 2 self to the Male Protagonist for use as a Servant, while the real woman is off putting together some kind of shady plan.
- In-Series Nickname: Part 2 Da Vinci is nicknamed "Shota Vinci-chan" by her master. Da Vinci herself is very insistent that she's not a shota.
- Mistaken for Gay: Da Vinci voluntarily incarnated into a female body, yet the Male Protagonist somehow believes she's a male crossdresser.
- Spared by the Adaptation: Though the Male Protagonist's team is in Antarctica with Gordolf, Da Vinci remains an adult rather than her body being killed and her soul transferred to a younger vessel. She even uses her child self to persuade the Male Protagonist to play Part 2, with no explanation for why she's there.
- Welcome to Corneria: Her habit of repeating the same lines of canned dialogue whenever someone starts poking around in the shop has gotten her Bound and Gagged a few times.
Gordolf Musik
The new director of Chaldea after... the "how" doesn't matter anyway, but he's in charge now. He's been travelling with the Male Protagonist's group ever since they've been kicked out to Antartica.
- Big Damn Heroes: Upon seeing Gudao become a Cryptor, he uses a Goff Punch to stop him. It's as always, Played for Laughs.
- Have I Mentioned I Am Sexually Active Today?: The Male Protagonist muses that if he were to ask Gordolf about, er... applying Grails and Command Codes, Gordolf would loudly proclaim that of course he's done it before and does it all the time, regardless of whether he actually has.
- Mistaken for Gay: One strip has the Male Protagonist believing Gordolf shares his... inclinations concerning very young boys.
- Spear Counterpart: Fills Olga Marie's role for the Male Protagonist's group, though he's harassed significantly less.
The Crypters (and their Servants)
Anastasia Nikolaevna Romanova
The Grand Duchess of Russia and the Servant of Kadoc Zemlupus... although she finds herself having to protect her Master/boyfriend from Gudao more often than not.
- Disproportionate Retribution: During their initial meeting, she responds to Gudao giving her some furry Yaoi after she gave him some furry Yuri by freezing him alive. Then again, from the summary she reads (in which Kadoc suddenly turns into a Yaga before being set upon by a band of the wolf-men before starting a relationship with Patxi), it seems he deserved it.
- Violently Protective Girlfriend: She's not at all pleased by Gudao's attempts to steal Kadoc away, and makes her displeasure clear with either her ice magecraft or her fists. Heck, the reason she attacked Gudao in the first place was because he gave her a furry Yaoi doujin with Kadoc turned into a Yaga and being set upon by other Yaga.
- She was also willing to burn Osakabehime's room (it wouldn't really have bothered her if she still was inside) because of a Yaoi doujin she drew starring Kadoc, Gudao, and a Tree of Emptiness. She calms down when Osakabehime gives her her best Kadoc x Anastasia doujin.
- Yuri Fan: Unsurprisingly, despite being one of the few characters to display any heterosexual interests, she has a good-sized stock of furry yuri.
Kadoc Zemlupus
The Crypter behind the Russia Lostbelt, and the Master of Anastasia. Despite otherwise being an ordinary human, he was included in Anastasia's summoning.
- Butt-Monkey: He's either being choked or forced to do things he doesn't like to every time he appears, usually by Gudao or Anastasia's antics.
- Early-Bird Cameo: He appears in a yaoi doujin Gudao makes for Anastasia before his proper introduction.
- The Dividual: He was somehow summoned with Anastasia, meaning he's attached to her Saint Graph. He counts storywise as well, as he's almost never seen in a comic without her.
- Like an Old Married Couple: Chapter 193 has him furiously deny that they're this when Gudao teases them. Unfortunately, Anastasia really wants that to happen and is furious at him afterwards.
- Sitcom Arch-Nemesis: Gets into fights with Gudao constantly, much to his displeasure.
Kirschtaria Wodime
The leader of the Crypters. After Gudao defects to their side, he refers (or at least attempts to refer) directly to him.
- Adaptational Wimp: In the main game, he's simply a mage with magic powerful enough to resemble a Noble Phantasm. It pretty much is one here, as Gudao can use Command Spells on him like any other Servant.
- Repeating So the Audience Can Hear: He doesn't appear to talk, but his first appearance has Gudao repeating information for him when the latter messages Kadoc.
- Spear Counterpart: Despite having nothing to do with the Pendragon clan, his role in Gudao's gang is similar to Altria's. He's a pretty blonde who sticks by the main character, is quiet and disinterested, and wields powerful spells. His default expression even matches the usual Perpetual Frown Riyo draws Altria's (and Arthur's) variants with.
- The Voiceless: Is never seen talking and other characters act as his mouthpiece, like Gudao or Caenis.
- Your Size May Vary: Seems to be getting tinier with each appearance to the point that he looks like a small child and Caenis can pick him up with ease.
Caenis
Kirschtaria's servant and somewhat caretaker. Accompanies Kirschtaria in their inspection in the Lostbelts.
- Crusty Caretaker: Mostly treats Kirschtaria like a child needing supervised care then picks a fight with him when he doesn't listen as shown in the new year chapter.
- Everyone Has Standards: Doesn't bat an eye roughhousing and threatening Kadoc a little bit but is somewhat bothered by Anastasia's No-Holds-Barred Beatdown beating on Gudao.
- Running on All Fours: Shown running like a rabbit in their first appearance.
- Voice for the Voiceless: Speaks for Kirschtaria's behalf, though her delinquent personality has her rubbing the other party the wrong way most of the time.
Akuta Hinako
One of the Crypters who is meant to overlook the Chinese Lostbelt… in the game, at least. Here, she ends up being the target of Mash's insistence on trying to help her new "senpai", much to her chagrin. And then Gudako shows up.
- Abhorrent Admirer: She sees Mash and Gudako as this, as she gets irritated whenever the two try to gain her affections by bringing unwanted gifts or cuddling her out of nowhere.
- Eye Glasses: Only her pupils are visible through her glasses most of the time. One instance where her glasses get slapped off shows she has eyes different from her actual eyes painted onto the lenses.
- Get Out!: Really doesn't hide her irritation in Mash's antics and screams for her to get out every time she appears.
- Late-Arrival Spoiler: While the manga hasn't stated that she is the True Ancestor Yu Mei-ren, it doesn't necessarily try to hide it such as her using her Noble Phantasm to try to kill Mash.
- Replacement Goldfish: Since Gudako shirks her responsibility to farm and do part 2, she's seen by Mash as a replacement and begs for her "senpai's" attention all the time, much to her irritation. And when Gudako does come back, both of them end up dragging Hinako through Part 1.

Original Servants
A group of servants that were made by combining grail mud and udon. Gudako, Mash, and Olga Marie are each in charge of at least one of them.More created from new batches of udon turned up later.
In General
- Historical Gender Flip: Not explicitly stated in the manga itself, but the in-volume notes say the original trio are genderbends of famous male figures, with Berserker later revealed to be a Gender Bender in-game. Parodied as well thanks to the Hotter and Sexier looks below. Saber is currently the only one this doesn't apply to since the baby is male and the actual Servant, but came with the mother as a package deal, although Lancer is confirmed to be a famous female figure.
- Hotter and Sexier: Parodied. The initial batch were made specifically with fetishes in mind (an outright bunny girl and a girl wearing nothing but a negligee and panties). Even Berserker has traits of it in her final ascension, where she's nude under overall shorts. Somewhat justified, given the person who started the project had a huge girl fetish in general. The others have it downplayed, but there's still a Meido and a coyote-girl in the crew.
- Open Secret: The cases for the True Names of a number of them: while only Berserker has ever had her name explained on-panel, pretty much everyone seems to know or at least suspect who Rider, Lancer, and Assassin are. When Rider revealed her True Name, Mash immediately realized she was lying. Beserker and later Lancer and Caster were eventually added to the game proper, with their True Names revealed.
- Original Generation: Exaggerated: The cast outright made the new guys by using udon as a catalyst for grail mud, then raising the results.
- Square Race, Round Class: A number of them have ill-fitting classes and are noted to be very poor at their supposed focuses. Assassin doesn't do any sneaking, Saber can't hold a sword, and Rider has only rarely ever ridden something—all three would seemingly fit Caster better. Berserker and Caster are fairly traditional, and Lancer and Archer fit well enough, though somewhat abstractly.
Assassin
Click here for her suit.
One of the manga's original Servants, made from udon dough and Grail mud, and raised to maturity by Olga Marie. A creepy woman who waves a gun around and has little sense of privacy. Her True Name is not officially revealed.
- Adapted Out: Assassin is completely absent from the animated adaptation, and is missing from certain scenes, such as the one time Gudako wiretaps Jeanne preaching to Altera and Tamamo about the origin of Quartz. She actually tries to fight Gudako over this, and it's implied this was the reason behind her attempt to take over Chaldea.
- Ambiguous Gender: While her gender is never discussed in the comics, her gender in her profile is listed as unknown. Assuming she is J. Edgar Hoover, she might actually be crossdressing all this time instead of being a Gender Flip.
- Butt-Monkey: She seems to be one of the weakest Servants in Chaldea, due to her one-star statline, poor-quality legend, and noncombative skills and Noble Phantasm, which makes her something of a bullying target. Marie and Martha use her for target practice.
- Cigar Chomper: When she switches to a suit and hat, she pulls out a candy bar shaped like a cigar to appear to invoke the trope.
- Enemy Scan: Her Noble Phantasm consists of a file that instantly fills itself with info and blackmail material on the target.
- Even Bad Men Love Their Mamas: After her epic betrayal of Gudako, Rabbit Ears taunts her by saying no one loved her while she was alive. Outraged, she yells, "What!? My mother loved me!" It is eventually revealed that she now considers Olga Marie her mother for raising her, and cannot deny her requests.
- FBI Agent: Although her true name has yet to be revealed, it's stated that she's called the first director of the FBI, which all but explicitly says that her true name is J. Edgar Hoover.
- Hated by All: Rider alludes to the fact that her real-life counterpart has been loathed on all corners, even when she was alive, as a reason for why she'll probably never make it as a character. It's largely stayed true in Chaldea, given that she's a jerk who can barely fight. The closest thing to friends she has are the Lancer she raised (who follows her orders but doesn't seem to care about her) and her Master Olga-Marie (who still finds her frustrating and weird).
- Let's You and Him Fight: Her overarching plan boils down to let all the other Udon Servants fight each other until only she remains, making her a shoo-in for implementation.
- Mama's Boy: Girl, actually, but Olga Marie manages to wring out the location of the Protagonist with some cajoling this way.
- Perpetual Frowner: Riyo's characters already have a hard time changing expressions, but she just never leaves her angry frown. The sole exceptions being when she first uses her Noble Phantasm, at which point she gives off a creepy grin instead, and then when she has the new Lancer spear Gudako, all the while Assassin is smiling constantly.
- Scissors Cuts Rock: She's been on the receiving end of this twice from Martha and Marie, getting her ass handed to her despite her natural type advantage.
- "Shaggy Dog" Story: She is the last Servant barring Bunyan who is left alive after Rider melts away from touching the Grail, but all that it leaves her with is her begging to be put into a story where she can finally become a playable character, with her not even granted a dignified death. Not only that, but all of the death Servants return back to life few issues later, meaning that she is back at stage one.
- Smug Snake: Though she enjoys gloating and scheming, Gudako shuts her down by simply telling her that there's absolutely no chance she's ever getting into the main game (and given the implications of Assassin's true identity, Gudako is being pretty honest).
- Stripperiffic: The silliest one this side of Medb. She's constantly running around in her underwear, and we mean actual underwear, not a Chainmail Bikini. Finally subverted when she puts on a suit and hat as the new Lancer spears Gudako through.
- What Kind of Lame Power Is Heart, Anyway?: Olga Marie comments her Noble Phantasm is utterly useless in a fight, and it won't do much good against people who don't care about keeping their secrets.
- With Catlike Tread: Her bio notes that despite her being, you know, an assassin, her ego makes her extremely showy and therefore bad at stealth.
Berserker
- Voiced by: Chiaki Omigawa
For tropes about her appearances in the main game, see Fate/Grand Order: Berserkers - A to F and Fate/Grand Order: Alter Egos.
- All There in the Manual: The notes for Volume 1 say she's actually Paul Bunyan. Since then, it's been stated on-panel more often.
- Almighty Janitor: She tends to be more of a thuggish enforcer than an independent agent, which is why it's a little surprising that she also seems to be one of the most powerful Servants around. One strip confirms that she's the only Servant in the Child Kingdom to have been Grailed, and even dragged up to level 100.
- Chainsaw Good: She wields a hot pink chainsaw (referred to as "Wisconsin Death Trip") decked out in stickers.
- Creepy Child: Introduced in a dark, bloody room, among other things.
- Demoted to Extra: After Berserker got her big break in the main series, she gets considerably less panel time here compared to Assassin and Rider. Though after a while, she started making more of a regular appearance.
- Gender Flip: Of the American folklore character Paul Bunyan. Invoked by her creator, who wanted female Servants regardless of their origin. When her Super self later meets other Bunyans from alternate universes, she is somewhat dissapointed to learn that she's the only girl among them.
- Giant Woman: Other than the fact that she's tall enough to fill a room, she's a regular little girl.
- Morality Pet: Apart from intentionally giving her a decently lewd Third Ascension, Gudako (
of all people) never attempts to interact sexually with Berserker (unlike... literally every other Servant) and clearly cares for her. She actively worked to help level her up, she frequently rides on her head to spend time with her, and (as we see with Assassin), she does not take kindly to people disrespecting her child.- Averted in the event that added her to the game, where being a 1-star unit made her Gudako's Un-favorite and Gudako's abuse contrasting with the player's kindness drove Berserker to join the latter for good.
- Naked Apron: Well, overalls, but Gudako intentionally made this her Third Ascension skin.
- Named by the Adaptation: The original sketch at the end of the animated adaptation pretty much spelled out her real name.
- Pokémon Speak: Her one and only spoken line in the animated adaptation has her yell out her name as she squashes two Mashes underfoot.Bunyaaaaan! *stomp*
- The Quiet One: Even after being implemented into the game with a voice and all, she never speaks in the manga. Even her appearance as Super Bunyan doesn't have speaking lines.
- Your Size May Vary: Ranges from about twice the height of other Servants to Godzilla-sized. Her profile in the game proper claims that she's actually a Sizeshifter, and her height changes every time it gets measured.
Rider
Click here to see her ascension.
One of the manga's original Servants, made from udon dough and Grail mud, and raised to maturity by Mash. An always smiling woman with a love of movies, both filming and watching, due to having been a filmmaker in her own life. Before revealing her True Name, she is referred as 'Rabbit Ears'. She claims to be the White Rabbit of Inaba, but Mash tries to question her upon the reveal before she shushes her.
- All Your Powers Combined: She can create Composite Noble Phantasms by copying powers from other Servants. For example, she draws powers from Archer and Lancer to create the "Terror of the Croconado."
- Back for the Dead: After revealing that she survived her Heroic Sacrifice against Caster-enhanced Gudako by reviving herself with a Spiritveil Stone, she ends up dying again almost immediately when her obtaining a Grail causes her Spirit Origin to melt down, with the following chapter confirming that she did indeed die. She later returns anyway.
- Berserk Button: She lost her smile all of once in the entire book, when she learned a certain someone had joined Chaldea's ranks... and promptly tried to murder him.... EDISON?note
- Beware the Silly Ones: All of Riyo's Servants are silly concepts with rather weak powers. Rider manages to destroy all of Chaldea with her Noble Phantasm (a summoning of film reels of every movie she's ever made) and a few matchesnote . She also demonstrates the ability to borrow abilities from other Servants.
- Chainsaw Good: She pulls out a chainsaw that she refers to as a Noble Phantasm, Texas Chainsaw Massacre, to match Berserker's Wisconsin Death Trip.
- Cut Lex Luthor a Check: She's been known to shoot girls' love videos to fund bigger projects and Noble Phantasms.
- Eyes Always Shut: Unless she's angry or feels supremely threatened, in which case her eyes are revealed to be a red-orange color.
- Faking the Dead: Some time after her Heroic Sacrifice, she reappears and explains she faked her death via a stage magic trick.
- Heroic Sacrifice: Played for laughs; she sacrifices herself to defeat a powered-up Gudako in an attempt to get readers to like her and ask for her in the game, while a mysterious narrator talks about how great she was.
- Last Request: Before she performed her heroic sacrifice, she asked Mash to remember her.
- Loophole Abuse: After returning from the dead yet again, she now plots with Assassin to get herself and the other Udon servants added to other installments of the franchise and migrate to the game from there.
- Meta Guy: Played with. She tends to rely on terms and concepts from movies when referring to things, in addition to the game and comic terms everyone else uses.
- Moon Rabbit: Leans into this, considering her Noble Phantasm and bunny-like traits... Or so she invokes, considering she says that identity is the least problematic True Name she can have to get implemented into the main game.
- Overly Long Fighting Animation: According to her bio, her Noble Phantasm is A Trip to the Moon. As in, the entire thing. Its animation is ten minutes long. But as we all know, you can't skip Noble Phantasm animations...
- She invokes it at one point by claiming she wants to film a Noble Phantasm that's three hours long. Gudako only lets it slide on the grounds that it might make the devs rethink not having a skip button.
- Paper-Thin Disguise: She can fool almost everyone into thinking she's Altria by wearing a Goofy Suit of her.
- Perpetual Smiler: She's almost never seen without that closed-eye smile on her face.
- Playboy Bunny: No one's quite sure why. Her claiming to be the Moon Rabbit may have something to do with it. Or to stretch the connection further, her most famous film.
- Red Eyes, Take Warning: The few times she opens her eyes reveals them to be red (much like a white rabbit's, despite being pink). If they're open for long, either she's in serious mode or genuinely pissed at something.
- Shout-Out: Her appearances are generally laden with references to films, from genuine classics to obscure gems to Sharknado.
- Square Race, Round Class: Looking at her skillset and origins, you'd assume her to be a Caster. Even her bio admits that her rank in Riding is pretty crappy, and she more or less ended up a Rider because it would give her type advantage against Casters (well, one specific, lion-headed Caster, anyway).
- Stage Magician: Her bio notes her to be one, explaining that her skill with illusions helped her with being a filmmaker. Visually, she also invokes the Lovely Assistant and the Rabbit Magician aspects of this trope.
- Tempting Fate: The moment she decides there's nothing left to make her angry, Lancer shocks her with her hammer and drops her in a ditch.
- Unreliable Expositor: Her big reveal of her True Name (she claims to be the Moon Rabbit) has Mash pointing out that everything prior suggested her to be a certain filmmaker. Rider merely claims that a) it doesn't matter if it's actually her True Name, what matters is the dramatic reveal, and b) her actual True Name would make it impossible for her to get into the actual game.
Lancer
One of the manga's original Servants that appeared starting from Even More. Summoned with udon (and possibly Grail mud, like the others) by the Assassin, she's a paleontologist with an eclectic mix of powers, an abiding love of women, and a murderous attitude. Her True Name is officially revealed to be the palaeontologist Mary Anning. though she wasn't necessarily hiding who she is.
For tropes about her appearance in the main game, see Fate/Grand Order - Lancers G to M.
- Adding Insult to Injury: When she's caught, she seethes that she'll be free and have her revenge. Mash pops up to tell her Saber's come to be with her, exciting her. Unfortunately, it's Riyo Saber, who's ready to play some folksy music for her. Incidentally, her instrument is made from the remains of Lancer's Ichthyosaurus Noble Phantasm.
- Animal Eyes: Solid yellow eyes with slitted pupils.
- Badass Bookworm: Despite having been a scientist in life, she's a very aggressive physical combatant. She qualifies for Lancer by virtue of wielding an entire icthyosaur as a polearm.
- Boisterous Weakling: She prepares to charge even as she's boxed in by Altria and Saber, who both have type advantage on her. The next panel sees her already downed.
- Breakout Character: Invoking this is her motivation, it turns out: after Berserker made it into the game, she's determined to do the same, meaning she constantly picks fights and shows off her abilities in the hopes that the fans and developers will take notice.
- Canine Companion: Occasionally appears with a gray-furred dog.
- Charm Person: Her Sea Lily Charisma makes other women attracted to her eccentric and charming personality, compelling them to help her.
- Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu?: The first Servant so far to be able to seriously damage Gudakonote . Even while it doesn't last, it's something not even Goetia or burning the entirety of Chaldea could do.
- A Fool and His New Money Are Soon Parted: After making some cash by selling Kiyohime and Elizabeth to Helena as maids, she encounters someone wearing the Saber costume. Mistaking whoever is in there for Saber herself, she blows her money in prepaid cards.
- Knight of Cerebus: Invoked but then subverted. Her first appearance is her impaling Gudako, and Assassin makes an announcement that the manga will shift into a serious battle story, but the tone ends up remaining silly like before.
- Logical Weakness: She may be pretty scary, but she's still a Lancer, and therefore none too effective when a pair of Sabers pop up.
- Older Is Better: Being a paleontologist, she believes that only things that have history behind them hold any value; she enjoys burying her opponents so that they'll be worth something in a few million years. However, this means she immediately falls for Altria, who has been around since the beginning of Fate as a franchise.
- Open Secret: Unlike a lot of Servants, she makes absolutely no effort to hide evidence of her True Namenote , as she believes that these reveals have never actually mattered to the plot of FGO. It was later confirmed to be Mary Anning in the collaboration event.
- Psycho Lesbian: For Mash. However, she melts into a spineless Fangirl when Altria pops up.
- Shamu Fu: Blaming Mash for trying to get her seduced by Altria, she tries to kill her with a ichthyosaurus (declaring her not worth a plesiosaurus).
- Shock and Awe: She shocks Rider with 100,000 bolts of electricity from her hammer and then shamelessly advertises how her hammer can wipe away her enemies with 1.21 Gigawatts of electricity. This is most likely a reference to her real-life counterpart having miraculously survived a lightning strike.
Archer
One of the manga's original Servants that appeared starting from Even More. Summoned with udon by Helena, she works for the Children Kingdom. Her True Name is not officially revealed.
- Animal Eyes: Similarly to Lancer, she has solid orange eyes with slitted pupils, although her pupils are thicker than Lancer's.
- The Beastmaster: It's mentioned that she has the ability Rodeo, allowing her to ride and stay on just about anything (despite not actually being a Rider).
- Blow You Away: Her powers are suggested to involve tornadoes, and Rabbit Ears even co-opts this for her own Noble Phantasm. Possibly a shout-out to Pecos Bill’s most famous accomplishment, riding a twister across Texas.
- Cowgirl: Dresses like one, and is adept with a lasso.
- Delusions of Doghood: She acts like a coyote, and even wants to eat Rabbit Ears since coyotes eat rabbits. Likely a reference to Pecos Bill being Raised By Coyotes
- Little Bit Beastly: She has coyote tail and ears, and seems to even think that she is a coyote.
- Suddenly Voiced: She manages to say a couple lines of exposition in her encounter with Mash and Gudako, which Gudako immediately skips through since she doesn't care about the story.
- The Voiceless: Similarly to Altria, she doesn't speak, but people can understand her anyway.
- Weird West: Of course, if she is Pecos Bill, what else would you expect?
Caster
A pair of maids who appeared out of nowhere to help nurse Gudako back to health after she was injured. Despite their cutesy appearance, they have bigger plans. Their True Name has been officially revealed and are confirmed to be the mice servants of Daikokuten, one of the Seven Lucky Gods.
For tropes about her appearance in the main game, see Fate/Grand Order: Casters A To F.
- Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: At first, they act like they're just trying to heal Gudako, but they're actually trying to turn her into a demi-Servant.
- Conservation of Ninjutsu: Mash defeats an army of their duplicates and says it does not matter how many there are because they are weak.
- Identical Twin ID Tag: One has light green hair, while the other has light pink hair with small twintails and hair clips.
- Little Bit Beastly: They have mouse ears and a tail.
- Meido: They appear to be dressed like maids.
- Self-Duplication: Their Reproduction skill allows them to rapidly increase their numbers when unattended.
- Technicolor Eyes: Solid black eyes with red pupils.
- The Voiceless: Like Altria and Archer, they don't speak, but can be understood anyway. Averted in the main game.
Saber
Saber's mother.
One of the manga's original Servants. Summoned from udon by Altria, and the second udon Servant raised by Mash. For some reason, he manifested as a unborn child who is still inside his mother's womb. Their True Name is not officially revealed.
- Babies, Babies Everywhere: The Servant manifests as a heavily pregnant woman.
- Big Beautiful Woman: Saber's mother. Even considering she's pregnant, their combined weight is 120 kilos - especially notable given most women in the franchise very rarely exceed 60 kilos. This is assuming that Saber is an actual baby, though.
- Casanova Wannabe: His Courtship skill causes him to hit on every young lady he sees. The women in question are then filled with discomfort and disgrace and want to run away from him. This made Jeanne realize that no, the baby most likely isn't Jesus.
- Cowardly Lion: His Undying Sage skill mentions that despite being mentally weak and easily discouraged, he's pretty fast to get back on his feet.
- The Dividual: A mother and her unborn son, with the son as the Servant; he's aware of his surroundings and can even speak.
- Improbable Weapon User: He bludgeons enemies with a golden idol statue. He's embarrassed by his weapon.
- Killed Offscreen: During the idol president election tournament, the duo get killed off before the final round, with Olga-Marie wondering if the other contestants lost since the only ones left are Marie, Tamamo and the Saber mascot suit, who turns out to be Rider yet again.
- Mistaken Identity: At first, Mash thought the Servant was the woman. Altria corrected her, saying the real Servant is her still-unborn baby. Jeanne immediately pegs the baby's identity as Jesus, though it seems unlikely. And then, in a case of Sustained Misunderstanding, an encounter between Altera and Jeanne leaves the latter thinking the former is claiming to be the baby's father and the latter very, very confused.
- The One Guy: He seems to be the only boy of the udon Servants, albeit represented by his mom on account of him not being born yet.
- Out of Focus: Unlike the rest of the udon Servants, who at the very least least get bit parts in each other's stories, Saber and his mom rarely appear aside from their introductory strips. They were eventually brought back during the Children's Federation elections.
- Prehensile Hair: He causes his mother's hair to grow and turn into Powered Armor around her.
- Voice for the Voiceless: According to Assassin's profile on Saber, his mom has no voice actor. Saber's the one who does the talking for the both of them.
