** WOOOOOOOOOOOOOO[[labelnote:Explanation]]In his later Ascensions, many of Tezcatlipoca's battle voicelines are ''very'' spirited and jovial whoops and yells, even when ''damaged''. Most frequent and memorable is his battle cry of "WOOOOOOOOOOOOOO", which has proven ''very'' popular among players, with videos or streams containing Tezcatlipoca usually flooded with commenters spamming "WOOOOOOOO" in solidarity. Some amused players have made comparisons to Youtuber [[LetsPlay/{{Critikal}} MoistCr1TiKaL]], known for his own iconic "WOOOOOO!" from one of his videos, or to wrestler Wrestling/RicFlair, who also has "WOOOOOO!" as a catch phrase.[[/labelnote]]

Added DiffLines:
* '''Abigail Williams'''
** HOLY SHIT FUCKING CRAZY [[labelnote:Explanation]]Same vein with the Cursery Rhyme meme, but applied to Abigail's 3rd Anniversary CE. The 3rd Anniversary album has a comment from Abby about her gangsta-style casual outfit in which she says "Ho** ***t fu***ng crazy".[[/labelnote]]
** With ''VideoGame/TheLastOfUsPartII'' getting a lot of media coverage and controversies, the FGO fandom applies a lot of memes involving Abby onto Abigail Williams, who is usually called 'Abby' for short (except one certain very obviously NSFW meme since it's improper for someone of Abigail's age). Memes include portraying her as being muscular, choking someone or placing her hair on the very muscular Heracles (Bonus: Replacing Heracles' normal club with a golf club).
** Summer Abigail dropped several of these with her reveal, particularly with her NP.
*** Abigail opens the door to Franchise/KingdomHearts[=/=][[Manga/FullMetalAlchemist the Gate of Truth]][=/=][[PaedoHunt the FBI]]. [[labelnote:Explanation]]Since Abigail's skill animations and NP involve opening eldritch doors, with the latter dealing damage with a burst of light from within, it's common to joke that it's one of the above doors (or in the latter case, the police coming to arrest the "degenerate" players).[[/labelnote]]
*** Revenge of the Doors.[[labelnote:Explanation]]Since doors are so prominent, particularly in Abby's NP, the joke is that all the Doors a player has farmed for materials in the game are getting their revenge.[[/labelnote]]
*** What is the cat's name?[[labelnote:Explanation]]At the end of Salem, Carter and Abigail bring a black cat along on their journey. Whenever the cat comes up, expect people asking about the cat's name due to [[NWordPrivileges what Lovecraft's own cat was called]]. The meme mainly picked up traction once summer Abigail appeared with the cat; however, her profile reveals its actual name is "Nosh".[[/labelnote]]
* '''Achilles'''
** The Promised Day [[labelnote:Explanation]]Achilles' debut was met with fanart of him encountering Penthesilea, who hates him to no end.[[/labelnote]]
* '''Altera'''
** [[https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CU_PkCAUEAAb6qZ.jpg X is good civilization.]] [[https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CU_PkCKVEAAM-IG.jpg Y is bad civilization]]. [[labelnote:Explanation]]Attila wishes to destroy all civilization except for dango after eating some during the first Mid-Autumn event, declaring it to be good civilization, and then there's [[https://fate-go.us/manga_fgo2/comic23.html this comic]] about [[WebComic/LearningWithMangaFGO gacha being bad civilization]] that made it hilarious. Eventually, 'Good/Bad Civilization' became the fandom go-to phrase for declaring 'Desirable' or 'Undesirable' things. The joke also extends beyond FGO, popping up in Extella's Ending.[[/labelnote]]
** Wiggling Altera[[labelnote:Explanation]]The animated adaptation of ''Webcomic/LearningWithMangaFGO'' featured a ''very'' memeable dancing Altera. This meme was popularized by Riyo, but was started by the Chaldea Radio Station, specifically Tanaka Minami doing a dancing ritual before successfully rolling for Cu Alter; even the comic showing Altera dancing said "the seiyuu said it worked, so I'm doing it".[[/labelnote]]
* '''Altria Pendragon (Caster)'''
** The toes are sus.[[labelnote:Explanation (LB6 spoilers)]]When it was announced at the 8th anniversary that Altria Caster would be getting an SSR swimsuit variant for the next Summer event, people began noticing that Fairy Altria (as the staff called her now that she was no longer a Caster) had ten toes, whereas Altria Caster was noted in Lostbelt 6 to have lost several toes to frostbite as a child. This immediately led to suspicions that Fairy Altria was a Pretender whose true identity was Aesc/Morgan. HilariousInHindsight as Aesc ends up getting released 24 hours after the announcement of Fairy Altria. [[/labelnote]]
* '''Altria Pendragon (Lily)'''
** Saber Lily's crotch blasting Noble Phantasm. [[labelnote:Explanation]]Her animation for Caliburn targets the enemy's crotch.[[/labelnote]]
* '''Amor/Caren Hortensia'''
** Caren getting cash from the gacha rolls[[labelnote:Explanation]]After Caren Hortensia was announced in Fate Grand Order, many memes involving Caren's skit in ''Anime/CarnivalPhantasm'' that has her attempting to get money have been made in regards to the gacha rolls. [[/labelnote]]
* '''Anastasia Nikolaevna Romanova'''
** CameraFiend Anastasia [[labelnote:Explanation]]Based on how Anastasia's last moments in life were basically being the one personally taking photos of herself and her sister, Anastasia is often made to be a CameraFiend who likes to take selfies or photos of others with more modern cameras compared to the ones in her time. Often to tease Kadoc.[[/labelnote]]
** Anastasia under kotatsu [[labelnote:Explanation]]The playable Anastasia has one My Room line if the player has the resident LazyBum Osakabe-hime, asking the protagonist if she can take Osakabe-hime's kotatsu for herself. This leads some fanartists to depict her under a kotatsu, sometimes turning into a LazyBum herself.[[/labelnote]]
** Anastasia the CYKA BLYAT princess[[labelnote:Explanation]]The Christmas 2018 and New Year 2019 events had the resident Russian princess Anastasia do comically badass yet un-ProperLady-like things (lifting Ivan the Terrible on her shoulders and mercilessly throwing gemstones at monkeys respectively), a stark contrast to her first appearance in the Lostbelt prologue and Lostbelt No.1. And to further on this meme, her incarnation in ''Webcomic/LearningWithMangaFGO'' is seen during its volume 2 promotion [[https://youtu.be/8OA3ewTzE_4?t=3 punching the hell out of the male protagonist in the face aggressively.]][[/labelnote]]
** Strength E(X)[[labelnote:Explanation]]Similar on the above considering her Strength stats.[[/labelnote]]
** [[PrecisionFStrike GODDAMN HOT!!]][[labelnote:Explanation]]The above meme on Christmas/New Year has its 'origins' actually from the Japanese 2018 Summer Event, where Anastasia made a cameo solely to say that line ([[GratuitousEnglish in English!]]) because she's wearing too much for a really hot event. And then it evolved into the above meme, due to how Anastasia was seen to be acting not very serene or ladylike unlike her previous showing as a BrokenBird IceQueen. Or the go-to phrase of any cases of Anastasia undressing some of her clothes herself to cool off or wearing fanservice/swimsuit outfits, looking 'hot'/attractive. It's inverted in "Saber Wars II" when she complains that it's GODDAMN COLD and [[AscendedMeme ascended]] in the promotional image of the 3rd Anniversary of the game's global version, where [[https://imgur.com/2LhH2OH Anastasia held a fan with the text 'GD HOT' written on it.]] And when Anastasia got her own Summer variant, her fans turned towards this quote once again.[[/labelnote]]
* '''Angra Mainyu'''
** Angra Mainyu. [[labelnote:Explanation]]This loved, ultimate JokeCharacter was secretly added to the Friend Point gacha during Fate/Accel Zero Order, resulting in almost all players trying to roll him, and was jokingly suspected to be the reason for lots and lots of server lag and a record five maintenances for the game. And to rub salt in the wound, it's possible that his roll rate is even smaller then any of the SSR Servants' roll rate. All the Evils of the World indeed.[[/labelnote]]
* '''Anne Bonny & Mary Read'''
** Mary's reaction in the "Chaldea Summer" CM to the ball going her way first being a smile as she tries to hit it and then surprise as it gets too close and hits her in the face became an ImageMacro for players' disappointment in the game.
* '''Arash'''
** '''[[SayMyName STELLAAA!!!]]'''[[labelnote:Explanation]]Arash's Noble Phantasm is the rather common name or word 'Stella'. This often gets a mention with [[Theatre/AStreetcarNamedDesire any time there's a character named Stella]]. Bonus points if [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamSEEDDestiny they die]], just like Arash after using said Noble Phantasm. Music/ManWithAMission also has [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AiehyJNDOoY a song named "Stella"]] ([[https://imgur.com/a/cdas7 and yes, the fan artists have not left this unnoticed]])[[/labelnote]]
** "I can't believe they nerfed Arash" [[labelnote:Explanation]] Arash was widely praised for his utility in farming, being able to sacrifice himself with his NP, which had a very fast animation. However, during the Camelot Movie Pre-Release Campaign, he was granted an animation update, which ended up making his NP animation '''''longer''''', leading to this joking complaint from the fanbase. Actually [[SubvertedTrope Subverted]], as the new animation skips his death, resulting in using his NP [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qmn2h8BNnRg surprisingly taking 1 to 2 seconds less than before on certain settings.]] [[/labelnote]]
* '''Arjuna Alter'''
** "...For I am...a god..."[[labelnote:Explanation]]The one screenshot of Lostbelt Berserker's dialogue took off as the one bit of dialogue and character in almost two years to latch onto, with both his [[https://twitter.com/pakosun/status/1135847674274410496 artist]] and his [[https://twitter.com/nobunaga_s/status/1135843597549330433 voice actor]] joking about it.[[/labelnote]]
** "[[SayMyName KARNAAAAAAAAAA!]]" [[labelnote:Explanation]]One of Arjuna Alter's battle lines unique to the aforementioned final battle, and a general indicator of their sibling enmity. He sometimes says it even when he isn't attacking the player's mandatory Super Karna support, leading to the joke that he likes to yell Karna's name apropos of nothing.[[/labelnote]]
** Arjuna Alter the catboy[[labelnote:Explanation]]In his [=3rd=] Ascension Art, his horns shrink down to about the size of cat ears, and his artist pako has gone on record saying he had a space cat in mind when drawing Arjuna Alter. Add in the tail and the result is the entire fandom drawing Arjuna Alter acting like a cat.[[/labelnote]]
* '''Asagami Fujino'''
** Fujino the Bridge Bender [[labelnote:Explanation]]Fujino's Noble Phantasm animation makes reference to her fight in ''Kara no Kyoukai'' where she uses the Mystic Eyes of Distortion to tear the bridge she and Shiki were on in half. However, many people tend to imagine that she just ''manifests a bridge out of nowhere'' just to break it in half, thus leading to many jokes about her and bridges. Fujino's case is further hilarious for the "Archer class is really made up of archers" memes due to her being an Archer despite using PsychicPowers which would be more suited to the Caster Class.[[/labelnote]]
* '''Ashiya Douman'''
** Japanese fanartists like drawing Ashiya Douman as a cat, given how easy it is to compare him to one. The meme has become more and more {{Ascended|Meme}}, with Koyanskaya of Darkness saying that she doesn't like "all felines (AKA Douman) and him being listed as having cat characteristics in the Learning with Manga collab Challenge Quest.
** Douman's Time-Out Jar[[labelnote:explanation]]The Summer 2021 and 2022 events end with Ashiya Douman, who caused them to happen in the first place, stuffed in a jar as punishment, leading to numerous fanart of Douman in said jar. The 2022 event later reveals that said jar, which got reused, was from Abe no Seimei, and that he has 3 other "punishment items" made specifically to keep Douman in check he can lend to Murasaki Shikibu, which caused many a "Seimei is into [=BDSM=]" joke. But the joke is mostly used in scenarios where Douman is up to no good.[[/labelnote]]
* '''Astolfo'''
** Astolfo the haunted plush [[labelnote: Explanation]](Probably) created by [[https://myfigurecollection.net/profile/dokidoki dokodoki]], a stock photo of the Potekoro Mascot Astolfo plush serves as a template for homosexual-themed memes while being a cursed doll at the same time. This was actually started by this picture proclaiming to sell [[http://knowyourmeme.com/photos/1343031-fate-type-moon a haunted Altria plush]], which started a trend to do the same to other merchandise of characters.[[/labelnote]]
** Astolfo's Monster Cock[[labelnote:Explanation (VERY NSFW!)]]In Febuary of 2021, an Astolfo cosplayer posted a collection of photos [[BiggerIsBetterInBed comparing the size of his penis to a can of Monster Energy Drink]] on Website/{{Twitter}}, and the sheer number of people commenting on this caused "Astolfo" to reach the Trending page. Memes were made poking fun at the absurdity of the whole situation, [[https://twitter.com/mewvore/status/1360480172504469505?s=21 such as wondering]] what the poor guy who writes the descriptions for trending topics must be going through, and freaking out as Creator/FayeMata (a.k.a. Astolfo's VA in the ''Literature/FateApocrypha'' English Dub) [[https://twitter.com/FayeMata/status/1360516342235885569 posted a tweet]] commemorating the occasion, not realizing ''why'' he was trending until afterwards. And as a result, Astolfo became somehow associated with the Monster Energy Drink in many fanworks, in a similar vein of ''Franchise/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica'' and [[Memes/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica Morning Rescue Energy Drink]][[/labelnote]]
* '''Avicebron'''
** Avicebron's single finger pointing upwards was found to be hilarious [[https://twitter.com/2peropepero/status/981520424809844736 and]] [[https://twitter.com/ame_neko22/status/981834898456698881 quite]] [[https://twitter.com/fate_hibiki/status/981831696701009925 exploitable.]]
* '''Bartholomew Roberts'''
** Protect your husbandos and waifus from Bart [[labelnote:Explanation]]Because Bartholomew Roberts likes people with bangs, this led to jokes about the protagonist protecting Mash and other Servants (e.g. Fuuma Kotaro) from him due to having this hairstyle. Moriarty and Kadoc join in to protect Fran and Anastasia respectively from him.[[/labelnote]]
** Bart reacting to GUDA GUDA 6 [[labelnote:Explanation]]The event featured several new characters with bangs, causing a fan art trend of Bart getting excited by them and/or upset when the new males were [[WordOfGod confirmed to be unplayable]].[[/labelnote]]
* '''Beni-enma'''
** Beni-enma = Creator/GordonRamsay [[labelnote:Explanation]]Beni-enma's [[{{Pun}} roasting]] of her fellow Servants' cooking skills is very similar to how Gordon Ramsay does it in ''Series/HellsKitchen'', and fans were quick [[https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/fategrandorder/images/4/49/1546341277490.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20190101145324 to make the connection.]]. Bonus points for Beni-enma literally coming from Hell.[[/labelnote]]
*** It's fucking RAW!!... dechi [[labelnote:Explanation]]Gordon's memetic line combined with Beni-enma's VerbalTic.[[/labelnote]]
* '''Boudica'''
** Boudica the unofficial Roman.[[labelnote:Explanation]]Romulus-Quirinus can inflict a debuff that gives his targets the trait 'Roman'. Boudica, who by default ''hates'' Romans, has the ability to inflict extra damage against enemies with the 'Roman' trait (similar to the Georgios-Siegfried combo with Dragons instead). The synergy can actually work both ways, as Boudica's third rank-up quest lets her share her anti-Roman bonus with her allies, and Romulus-Quirinus also deals bonus damage against enemies with the Roman trait. The meme goes that [[TeethClenchedTeamwork Boudica is exasperated that she has to help the originator of the people she hated in order to be even useful]], whereas Romulus-Quirinus chills out and even considers her Roman. Became an AscendedMeme in Romulus-Quirinus's interlude, where the two get put together on a mission and Boudica ends up picking a fight with Romulus-Quirinus.[[/labelnote]]
* '''Brynhild'''
** [[FanPreferredCouple OTP of Brynhild and Jeanne Alter]][[labelnote:Explanation]]Jeanne Alter is a super popular Servant and powerful to boot, and Brynhild complements with her very well... and especially, during Jalter's debut event (Da Vinci and the 7 Heroic Spirit Counterfeits), Brynhild was featured as Jalter's masochistic lesbian girlfriend. So why did this become memetic, not just a mere FanPreferredCouple example? Let's take note: Jalter was not included in Brynhild's Beloved list, and the event made it clear that it's not the real Brynhild, just a flawed counterfeit. And yet the hilarity of the event, Jalter's excellence in making 'disgusted face' (of which the event provided many), her own popularity and how well Bryn complements her in gameplay made fans go beyond that and treat it like the fake Brynhild was actually the real Brynhild, so you'll rarely see a fanart of Brynhild not lusting over her "Onee-sama" Jalter because of that. Sigurd's arrival in Lostbelt #2 changed things up a bit, however, as his determination and devotion in the face of Brynhild's murderous love, combined with his earnestness, won a number of fans over to Sigurd/Bryn.[[/labelnote]]
** Sigurd and Brynhild's Guts Relationship[[labelnote:Explanation]]Brynhild is cursed to always kill Sigurd when she meets him. Sigurd's My Room dialogue saying he would be okay with her killing him, and his second skill granting him the Guts ability, has lead to a fan workaround of the curse. She ''does'' kill him every time they meet, but Guts brings him back with 1 HP, and her curse is alleviated for a time.[[/labelnote]] Confirmed in Chaldea Thriller Night. In fact, they both enjoy it immensely.
** [[WebComic/LearningWithMangaFGO Riyo]] Brynhild [[labelnote:Explanation]]Bryn herself has never appeared in the ''Learning With Manga!'' webcomic, but there is an edit of several of Mash's renditions in the comic, especially [[https://fate-go.us/manga_fgo/comic10.html this one]], so it's like [[https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/f8654676-2f00-4003-a13e-176b433bf695 Bryn]] [[https://i.redd.it/8vqm2sgfuj7y.png was]] [[https://66.media.tumblr.com/25e3efc94ddc555c267cdaa42d7d1690/tumblr_o1z1ejhjsW1ssg673o2_500.png doing it.]] One of these even became an icon in this game's Wikia page to represent Limited Servant pages ([[https://fategrandorder.fandom.com/wiki/Brynhildr Like so]]), but Riyo really hasn't added Brynhild in the comics, it's just [[https://i.pinimg.com/originals/c6/fd/ab/c6fdab68c92ee3d2573dce13b4da85ee.jpg a series of edits]] that ended up treated like it's an official thing. It's more or less an AscendedMeme during the last Nero Festival where Brynhild posed as Mash and caused trouble.[[/labelnote]]
* '''Chacha'''
** Chacha Out of Nowhere [[labelnote:Explanation]]The ''GUDAGUDA Meiji Ishin'' event where Chacha is the banner and reward Servant had a surprise re-run and came unannounced a few days after the conclusion of ''Murder at the Kogetsukan'' mystery event. This unexpected event caught many players off-guard. It was the same for NA, where the ''GUDAGUDA Meiji Ishin'' Event Rerun came with barely a few hours notice in place of the ''Murder at the Kogetsukan' Event, catching even JP players expecting the Murder Mystery to come first off guard.[[/labelnote]]
* '''Charles Babbage'''
** Heian Babbage[[labelnote:Explanation]]The trailer for "Mandala of Hell" has Babbage make a very noted appearance in both versions, which makes him very out of place amongst all the period-appropriate Servants and resulted in multiple jokes about why he'd be in Heian-era Japan.[[/labelnote]]
* '''Charlotte Corday'''
** Circumsion NP[[labelnote:Explanation]]Following the example of Saber Lily's crotch blasting NP, Charlotte's NP is often likened to a circumsion (As in, cutting off one's dick). This can be applied to some seriously big Rider Servants. For example, Ivan the Terrible.[[/labelnote]]
** THE ONLY SUCCESSFUL ASSASSIN IN FATE HISTORY [[labelnote:Explanation]]Since most Assassin class servants in the franchise are either unable to actually sneakily kill anyone since that would produce a narratively unsatisfying ending or prove to be Assassins InNameOnly, many jokes have been made about the fact that Charlotte is possibly the first one to actually catch a target off guard and assassinate them.[[/labelnote]]
* '''Chen Gong'''
** Chen Gong is the ''real'' 4th Anniversary Servant. [[labelnote:Explanation]]Variation of the "Seven Bronzes are the real 4th Anniversary Servants" meme, as players discovered Chen Gong's kit is [[GameBreaker pretty ridiculous]] and stands out in its own way from the game's gigantic roster but he's ''practically free''.[[/labelnote]]
** It's a necessary sacrifice [[labelnote:Explanation]]Chen Gong's Noble Phantasm sacrifices a fellow Servant, which led to many jokes of him being a TeamKiller. His usual targets include any SupportPartyMember, particularly Waver/Zhuge Liang. It's even more hilarious that Chen Gong's My Room dialogue reveals he dislikes Zhuge Liang because of the Stone Sentinel Maze, which he considers not a real strategem. Became more or less an AscendedMeme in the ''Fate/Requiem'' collab event when Chen Gong remarks about having a necessary sacrifice while looking at Moriarty, to the latter's chagrin.[[/labelnote]]
** What an expensive arrow [[labelnote:Explanation]]Due to Chen Gong's Noble Phantasm special ability of killing an allied servant per use, a common strategy is for a high level support servant like the aforementioned Waver, Tamamo, Merlin, Skadi, Reines, Altria, Anderson, Oberon, and Koyanskaya to use their skills/buffs and then Chen Gong to kill them to bring a fresh support to start the cycle over. Thus fans joke that each support is nothing more than arrows for Chen Gong's Noble Phantasm.[[/labelnote]]
** [[TheDreaded Dreaded]] Chen Gong/"New Support Servant? [[ScaryShinyGlasses Welcome...]]" [[labelnote:Explanation]]Everytime a major Support Caster/Servant got introduced, the fans are more likely to think/make arts portraying Chen Gong being the guy that welcomes them to the team and is pleased (while also flashing his ScaryShinyGlasses), knowing that it'll do good for his 'expensive arrow', while the new Servant, no matter how high their rarity or their canonical godlike power, is basically [[ThisIsGonnaSuck crapping on their pants imagining the horrors they will go through with]] [[TheDreaded Chen Gong]], [[AlmightyJanitor just another 2 Star Servant]][[/labelnote]]
** Chen Gong hates X. [[labelnote:Explanation]]There are several servants that can prevent being sacrificed from Chen Gong'a NP such as Arash and Nobukatsu since their [=NPs=] already providing Instant Kills to themselves, Miss Crane since her Noble Phantasm can just have her move to the backline, and Oberon since he has a skill that prevents somebody from being sacrificed. Because of that, many jokes have been about Chen Gong hating these servants.[[/labelnote]]
* '''Chiron'''
** Pantless Chiron [[labelnote:Explanation]]Chiron goes full centaur in his final Ascensions, making him technically pantless. Fans wondered and poked fun at this, wondering if Chiron is fine having his private parts exposed to everyone when he is in this form.[[/labelnote]]
* '''Constantine XI'''
** Live Constantine Reaction[[labelnote:Explanation]]Constantine was [[https://news.fate-go.jp/2022/traum/ the face of announcing Lostbelt 6.5]] and his "blank face / screaming inside" expression caused many to compare to the "Live Slug Reaction" meme from {{Memes/The Rise Of Skywalker}}[[/labelnote]]
* '''The Count of Monte Cristo/Edmond Dantes'''
** Super High School Level Heroic Spirits. [[labelnote: Explanation:]] Edmond Dantes was revealed to be drawn by ''Franchise/{{Danganronpa}}'''s main artist Rui Komatsuzaki, sporting a design that bore an eerie resemblance to [[VisualNovel/Danganronpa2GoodbyeDespair Nagito Komaeda]]. Many fans ended up wondering what Komaeda was doing in a ''Fate'' series, to which Nasu himself [[http://forums.nrvnqsr.com/showthread.php/5875-The-BAMBOO-BROOM-DIARY-%28Nasu-and-Takeuchi-blog%29?p=2290630&viewfull=1#post2290630 responded]]: "Were you expecting a mere [[Anime/{{Gankutsuou}} Cavern King]]? Too bad! He was a Super High School-tier Heroic Spirit instead!" When Komatsuzaki was called upon again to draw Cleopatra, fans started drawing the pair participating in a Chaldea Killing Game. [[/labelnote]]
** Wait, and hope. [[labelnote:Explanation]]This quote from Edmond Dantes is always used whenever discussing rolls and future events/Servants. Dantes' VA (Nobunaga Shimazaki) posted a tweet of his NP 5 Dantes with the caption "Roll, and hope", spreading the meme further.[[/labelnote]]
* '''Cu Chulainn'''
** [[MesACrowd The Cu Chu train]]. [[labelnote:Explanation]]A team in Grand Order using only Cu Chulainn in various forms, as he has four separate and very popular summonable versions.[[/labelnote]]
* '''Darius III'''
** Darius, 3 years old/Age 3 [[labelnote:Explanation]]Darius III was referred to as a 3 year old during the first Christmas event (Little Darius, Age 3). Combined with how he's rendered as a ScreamingWarrior, fans started to portray him as more or less a 3 year old mentality-wise behind all that screaming.[[/labelnote]]
* '''David'''
** David is a shitty parent. [[labelnote:Explanation]][[spoiler:After the revelation of Solomon being in control of the Ars Goetia demons the protagonist had fought so far, these kinds of jokes were quick to surface about how Solomon's aim to doom the future spawned from David being a bad parent. Even TheReveal that it wasn't the real Solomon but the demons themselves controlling his corpse and the real one is actually very much a NiceGuy still didn't stop the jokes from coming.]][[/labelnote]]
* '''Dioscuri'''
** STAY AWAY FROM MY SISTER, NINGEN![[labelnote:Explanation]]Castor's personality is summed up as a siscon who really, really hates humans, which fans have concluded wouldn't mix well with the protagonist's Harem Protagonist EX.[[/labelnote]]
** [[Memes/FireEmblemHeroes Disgusting]][[labelnote:Explanation]]Castor being a siscon to his twin sister and said sister trying to reel his siscon attitude from going out of control drew similarities with [[VideoGame/FireEmblemTheSacredStones Ephraim and Eirika]], so Castor sometimes ended up saying Ephraim's memetic "Disgusting" line in terms of their sibling bond (and Pollux facepalms like Eirika).[[/labelnote]]
* '''Draco'''
** Devil Trigger / Maou Nero[[labelnote:Explanation (spoilers)]] At the conclusion of the Arcade collaboration event, Beast Draco unlocks her third and final ascension, in which SheIsAllGrownUp, covered in black armor with a crimson cape, has horns and other draconic features akin to Siegfried, and an ''even bigger'' FlamingSword (at least, one more exaggerated that the one she already had as a Saber). For any players familiar with ''VideoGame/DevilMayCry'', the jokes wrote themselves.[[/labelnote]]
** The ''Arcade'' collab is secretly a ''VideoGame/FateEXTRA'' collab.[[labelnote:Explanation (spoilers)]]After the finale of the ''Arcade'' collab revealed that Kishinami Hakuno, the main protagonist of the ''EXTRA'' games, ended up causing Fujimaru's contract to Draco and the Incarnadines just to save Draco, many fans end up stating that the ''Arcade'' collab was secretly a ''VideoGame/FateEXTRA'' collab.[[/labelnote]]
* '''Edward Teach/Blackbeard'''
** NORMIES EXPLODE!![[labelnote:Explanation]]While Blackbeard by himself is a FountainOfMemes, this one is the most profound. This is an expression used by many Otaku like Blackbeard himself to express jealousy over people who have stable relationships (or just someone who is NOT an Otaku), referred to as 'Normies'. It's also a very clever translation of the original Japanese word expressing disgust and envy at those in stable relationships, similar to the use of "normies" by certain online communities. Occasionally, the Japanese version is used: "RIAJUU BAKUHATSU SHIRO!!"[[/labelnote]]
* '''EMIYA'''
** Do You Love Your Mom And His Nine-Hit Multi-Target 'Buster' Noble Phantasm?[[labelnote:Explanation]][[[[Literature/DoYouLoveYourMomAndHerTwoHitMultiTargetAttacks The Raikou/Mamako meme]] quickly spread to fellow memetic TeamMom Emiya, though with his Strengthening in the 5th Anniversary, you can change the Buster word into Arts, because he gains the ability to change the type of his NP.[[/labelnote]]
** Ero Protag EX [[labelnote:Explanation]]A meme which turns the fan favorite Archer EMIYA into a memetic ChickMagnet due to being an AlternateSelf of Emiya Shirou, an actual eroge protagonist, having three female Masters (although two can be male depending on the player) across the ''Fate'' multiverse, and other incidents like Meltryllis' attraction to him as Nameless in ''VideoGame/FateExtra''. Has a layer of {{Irony}} however, as he is Shirou's future self who hypothetically did not end up with any of his heroines. Servant Summer Camp 2020 notches this up with the release of his casual outfit--and him being involved with the shenanigans of nearly every featured Swimsuit Servant just writes the jokes.[[/labelnote]]
** Armwrestling Emiya[[labelnote:Explanation]]When it comes to discussing Servants's parameters, one of recurring points of comparison is done with EMIYA [[MusclesAreMeaningless having only D in Strength]]. With someone like Abigail having B in Strength, many people joke about which Servants could win EMIYA in an arm-wrestling match.[[/labelnote]]
* '''Ereshkigal'''
** [[Literature/KonoSuba Eresh pads her chest!]][[labelnote:Explanation]]Ereshkigal is often shortened as 'Eresh' and it was a close enough pronounciation with Aqua's junior Goddess Eris whom she's very jealous of. In addition, Eris was a genuine ReasonableAuthorityFigure, whereas Ereshkigal came off as the more dutiful, down-to-earth sibling compared to Ishtar's much more sneaky personality. One of Axis Cult's well known mantras is ridiculing Eris and accusing her of chest-padding. Take all those above and the comparison between Ishtar and Aqua and you've got a bunch of Ereshkigal (and Ishtar) fans jokingly applying the quote on Ereshkigal.[[/labelnote]]
* '''Eric Bloodaxe'''
** "The king of the Vikings who wields a bloody axe. [[DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment This is Eric Bloodaxe, the Bloodaxe King.]]" [[labelnote:Explanation]]Eric "Bloodaxe" Haraldsson's profile in the NA version is mocked for its redundancy.[[/labelnote]]
** Who? [[labelnote: Explanation]]Aside of the above oft-mocked profile, Eric has the distinction as one of the most forgotten launch Servants (only a 1-Star Servant) to the point the fans forgot he existed in the game.[[/labelnote]]
* '''Erice Utsumi'''
** Erice is '''14''' [[labelnote:Explanation]]Both of Erice's summoning lines have her mention to the player that she's 14 years old. The fandom had a run with this and used it as an opportunity to make FBI and jailbait memes centering on her by continuously reminding everyone that she's ''only'' 14 and therefore, could land you in jail if you put her in a fanservice-y light.[[/labelnote]]
* '''Fionn Mac Cumhaill'''
** Fionn, you've changed. [[labelnote: Explanation]]Fionn's design in ''Grand Order'' is ''radically'' different to the one he had in ''Literature/FateZero'', which lead to a lot of jokes from confused fans who didn't get the reference to a legend that was fairly obscure outside of its native Ireland.[[/labelnote]]
** Fionn's [[VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsGaiden Hydro Pressure]][[labelnote:Explanation]]A much more respectable meme featuring Fionn after he was RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap; his Noble Phantasm (Mac an Luin) shooting out water jet draws comparison with [[VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsGaiden Tyutti Noorbuck and her mecha Gaddeath/Goddess]] (who does have a strong (though not ultimate) attack named Hydro Pressure, and it works the same as Fionn's NP). And even moreso because Fionn also shares long blonde hair and spear main weapon (and [[MakingASplash water manipulation]]) like Tyutti, and he's voiced by [[Creator/ShinichiroMiki someone who has done a more widespread SRW character (Ryusei Date)]], although in a more ironic sense, Tyutti possesses Norse Mythology theme-naming and there's already a lot of Norse Servants, yet the one linked with her is from Celtic Mythology.[[/labelnote]]
* '''Florence Nightingale'''
** "You are ill. I recommend suicide." [[labelnote:Explanation]]Nightingale's retort to Cu Alter's MotiveRant at the climax of America. It quickly gained traction for being a good sum up of Nightingale's character and an awesome one liner.[[/labelnote]]
* '''Galatea'''
** Galatea is the first ever waifu in the world[[labelnote:Explanation]]After she was announced, people came to look at Galatea's backstory, and immediately compared Pygmalion's desire to have Galatea be an actual living being instead of a statue to an Otaku wishing their waifu was real. As a result, Galatea has been called "the first ever waifu in the world". [[/labelnote]]
** Galatea's pants[[labelnote:Explanation]]Galatea's first ascension features her wearing a set of extremely baggy mecha pants that clashes heavily with her slender figure. Fans began editing the pants onto other Servants for laughs.[[/labelnote]]
* '''Gilgamesh'''
** ONORE ONORE ONORE ONORE!! [[labelnote: Explanation]]Gilgamesh's grunt of pain after something seriously painful (eg: a Noble Phantasm) is oft-quoted by many to curse at something that didn't go their way.[[/labelnote]]
** [[IfItsYouItsOkay It's not gay if it's clay]][[labelnote:Explanation]]Sometimes fans upgrade Gilgamesh and Enkidu's bromance to a full-on romance. It helps Enkidu's form is based on Shamhat, making him really, really bishonen-looking.[[/labelnote]]
** Gilgamesh loves Thanksgiving.[[labelnote:Explanation]]Fans have noticed that as of November 2020, Gilgamesh has received rate-ups for all four of the NA Thanksgiving Summoning Campaigns. Because of that, many jokes revolving around Gilgamesh and Thanksgiving were made.[[/labelnote]]
** Where's Gilgamesh? [[labelnote:Explanation]]Once it was revealed that who was on rate-up within the 5th NA Thanksgiving Summoning Campaign, many people were quick to point out Gilgamesh's absence for that summoning campaign.[[/labelnote]]
* '''Grigori Rasputin/Kirei Kotomine'''
** Rasputin Run [[labelnote:Explanation]]Sort of a successor of the Lancer Run meme from the first ''Heaven's Feel'' movie. While this meme had been made as early as Lostbelt No. 2, it eventually exploded during the new opening for the Lostbelt arc's second half, where it actually shows Kotomine running very fast. Even Creator/JojiNakata himself made fun of this by posting [[https://twitter.com/joujinakata123/status/1288630476744167424 a picture of himself in running pose on Twitter]] the next morning after the PV's release.[[/labelnote]]
** Kirei dancing to Music/BoneyM[[labelnote:Explanation]] While this was around since the reveal of Rasputin as a Pseudo-Servant in the body of Kirei Kotomine, the moment he was made playable a lot of jokes referencing the song was made, along with a few videos dedicated to animating Kirei in doing just that. Some have even used them as catalysts in summoning him, but results vary. Bonus points if someone connects Kirei to [[Series/DoctorWho the Master]] as played by Creator/SachaDhawan who also did this in ''[[Recap/DoctorWho2022CENThePowerOfTheDoctor The Power of the Doctor]]'' not long before Kirei's release.[[/labelnote]]
* '''Habetrot'''
** Habetrot's Windows XP [[labelnote:Explanation]] Habetrot's NP creates a background of a grassy meadow, which bears a strong resemblance to the default Windows XP home screen, which immediately caught the attention of many players.[[/labelnote]]
* '''Helena Blavatsky'''
** Drawings of Helena. [[labelnote:Explanation]] One chapter of ''Learn More With Manga! FGO'' has the protagonist commissioning Leonardo Da Vinci for a drawing of Helena Blavatsky under ''very'' strict (and suggestive) specifications, much to Da Vinci's chagrin. Since then, this has become a minor meme, and lots of players (along with some of the game's artists, including her character designer Matsuryuu) actually drew Helena under said specifications.[[/labelnote]]
* '''Hephaestion'''
** [[VideoGame/DevilMayCry5 Hephaestion is the storm that is approaching.]][[labelnote:Explanation]] Similar to Saitou Hajime's "Saitou May Cry" memes, Vergil-related memes are being applied to Hephaestion because her pose from her final ascension art involves her unsheathing her sword in a way that resembles Vergil's character render pose from ''Devil May Cry 5''. Bonus points for the lightning sparks coming out of her weapon.[[/labelnote]]
* '''Heracles'''
** Berserker can't be defeated -- he's the strongest man in the world! [[labelnote: Explanation]]This line comes from Illya in the UBW route of ''F/SN'' ("Basaka wa dare ni mo makenai -- sekai de ichiban tsuyoin dakara!") and is typically quoted whenever a player has Heracles thoroughly trash powerful bosses like Goetia by ''himself''. Demonstrated [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zCPEZoDaNsQ here.]][[/labelnote]]
* '''Hijikata Toshizo'''
** [[VideoGame/MetalGearRisingRevengeance Metal Gear]] Hijikata / The only thing I know for real...[[labelnote:Explanation]]As part of the 7th anniversary Craft Essences, Servants have alternate outfits themed after the Lostbelts. Hijikata wears one that immediately drew comparisons to Jetstream Sam.[[/labelnote]]
* '''Ibaraki Douji'''
** Banana Oni [[labelnote:Explanation]] Ibaraki-Douji started being called this since, thanks to her color scheme and the way her clothes are draped over her, she resembles a peeled banana. AscendedMeme as of the third Summer Event.[[/labelnote]] The NA translation of the Prisma Illya crossover event includes [[AscendedMeme addressing Ibaraki as "a fearsome banana oni"]], which she apparently finds flattering.
* '''Ishtar'''
** Ishtar the Useless Goddess [[labelnote:Explanation]] Already present in game due to a tablet that Gilgamesh makes her wear, her tendency to sabotage herself mixes in photoshops comparing her with [[Literature/KonoSuba Aqua]] who has a similar meme. The meme gets further elevated with the release of the 17th episode of [[Anime/FateGrandOrderAbsoluteDemonicFrontBabylonia Babylonia anime]], where people now have enough visual reference to compare Ishtar and Aqua (complete with the "I am a Useless Goddess" tablet), along with Ishtar crying pathetically.[[/labelnote]]
** Ishtar 720° kick[[labelnote:Explanation]]Ishtar does two full revolutions of spinning before kicking into a monster in the anime, which became popular for just how gratuitously over-the-top it seemed. People were disappointed when it was not added as an attack in her animation overhaul.[[/labelnote]]
** Ishtar's feet[[labelnote:Explanation]]Ishtar became a huge favorite in the anime foot fetish community (yes, that's a thing) due to her barefoot attire and attempt to seal the temporary contract with Ritsuka by asking him to kiss the top of her foot, so many other viewers started jokingly praising Ishtar's feet everytime she came up.[[/labelnote]]
** Ishtar's Third Ascension shoes[[labelnote:Explanation]]Ishtar's Third Ascension, among other things, gives her a pair of golden high-heeled shoes. The same people who praise Ishtar's feet tend to say the designer of her Third Ascension spoiled their fun and should have kept her barefoot.[[/labelnote]]
* '''Iskandar'''
** "I just don't like you for some reason. That's all."[[labelnote:Explanation]]This line is said by Iskandar during the Fate/Zero Accel Order event in response to El-Melloi II demanding to know why he's siding with Kariya and Lancelot over Chaldea, to which El-Melloi can only stare blankly in shock. It quickly became the idea for what Servants who refuse to be summoned by players would say, even if said players spend all their SQ for them and get nothing.[[/labelnote]]
* '''Ivan the Terrible'''
** How does he fit into a truck? [[labelnote:Explanation]]Ivan the Terrible is one of the biggest, tallest summonable Servants, whose debut is after the first Lostbelt... and by that point, Chaldea has been reduced into just one truck (Shadow Border). Therefore, fanarts tend to poke fun on how the massive Ivan has trouble fitting himself into the truck.[[/labelnote]]
** [[https://twitter.com/appmediafgo/status/1176084335830528000 Treating Ivan as the lamest Lostbelt King]] and noting how [[MyFriendsAndZoidberg he doesn't shape up]] compared to the other Kings.[[labelnote:Explanation]]Ivan is a versatile and powerful Servant, but he can't really stack up to his more specialized colleagues, between Skadi's game-breaking Quick buffs, Qin Shi Huang's almighty MightyGlacier gameplay, and Arjuna Alter obsoleting out almost every other Buster [=AoE=] Servant in the game in the field of murdering everything really fast. This really picked up after Battle of New York 2019 as players realized that between Qin Shi Huang tanking, Arjuna Alter's nukes, Skadi's still excellent support kit and even getting to use her NP for the Mephistopheles Exhibition Match, Ivan doesn't really have ''anything'' that lets him shine in this event like the others. Even worse is that while Morgan was initially perceived to be in a similar level to Ivan, the release of Koyanskaya of Light effectively made her a GameBreaker while the same can not be said for Ivan.[[/labelnote]]
** Missing Ivan Raids[[labelnote:Explanation]]During the NA run on Tunguska, fans expecting to run the Ivan raid found that his HP was already at 0 and the final battle node open, thanks to a bug where his HP fell to 0 just minutes after the last story content got released. Fans were quick to post how this was the fastest raid completion with the explanation being Ivan was dead when we got there or he ran away.[[/labelnote]]
* '''Jack the Ripper'''
** I've become a mom. [[labelnote:Explanation]]The reaction of many players after summoning Jack from the gacha. This is because Jack calls her master (or anyone that's nice to her), no matter what gender, as "mommy".[[/labelnote]]
* '''Jacques de Molay'''
** Outer God HRT[[labelnote:Explanation]]The playable Jacques de Molay in the mobile version of FGO is a female Foreigner. It's explained that the rumors surrounding the normally male Saber Molay worshipping Baphomet had twisted him into a female form, and is also implied to have connected her to Shub-Niggurath. The female Molay is also voiced by Creator/ShikiAoki, notable for being one of the openly transgender voice actors in the Japanese industry. Jokes were quickly made at how linking with an Outer God turns you into a woman.[[/labelnote]]
** "Nooooooooo! Don't turn me into a Marketable Plush!!!!!"[[labelnote:Explaination]]After Molay's attempt to summon her God (implied to be Shub-Niggurath) using the Protagonist goes awry, their body is possessed by said God while their soul is ejected and [[ForcedTransformation transformed]] into a [[RidiculouslyCuteCritter Ridiculously Cute]] PumpkinPerson the size of a plush toy. Cue this joke and many variations of it.[[/labelnote]]
* '''James Moriarty'''
** Frankie's "Daddy". [[labelnote: Explanation]]During the "Dead Heat Race" summer event, Fran manages to co-operate with Archer of Shinjuku (of all people) by calling him "papa". His response gave way to fanart of him fainting over the sight of Fran being cute.[[/labelnote]]
** Moriarty turns people evil. [[labelnote:Explanation]]Moriarty's upgraded second ability gives party members the "evil" trait for 3 turns; making them eligible for his attack up with his third skill. Fandom has made this a MirrorMoralityMachine.[[/labelnote]]
* '''Jeanne d'Arc'''
** RIP Swimsuit Jeanne[[labelnote:Explanation]]The Summer 2018 event was first teased with a swimsuit version of Jeanne, complete with an NP reveal. Excitement for her was initially high, and most players were expecting a ton of fanart to come out of her when the event released... then came the announcement of Swimsuit [[BreakoutVillain Jeanne]] ''[[BreakoutVillain Alter]]''. Cue jokes about Jalter stealing the spotlight from her normal counterpart. It helps that she's the event's welfare Servant (which means that she'll be readily available to anyone who plays the event, fulfilling a dream for lots of players who wanted Avenger Jalter), as opposed to Vanilla Jeanne being a limited 5*. Amusingly, the plot of the event involves Jalter trying to upstage her "sister" at a Comiket parody.[[/labelnote]]
** [[{{Brainwashing}} BIG SISTER BEAM!]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]During the Summer event where Hokusai battles the Seven Swimsuit Swordmasters, Summer Jeanne, alongside Summer Altria (Ruler), was the one who most captured the fanbase's imagination, as she controls a ThreateningShark and uses an attack called the "Big Sister Beam" to brainwash targets into thinking of her as their big sister. This, and the way it was countered by recruiting Raikou to counter her attack with a "Mother Laser", has led to parodies, where other characters try to use similar "beams" to alter others' perception, to various degrees of success and effect.[[/labelnote]]
* '''Jeanne d'Arc Alter'''
** TKAE THIS![[labelnote:Explanation]]A typo from Summer Jeanne Alter's 2021 Valentine's scene, from the English version. While ''Fate/Grand Order'' is no stranger to typos, they're usually easily overlooked unless one is paying attention. Here, however, the fact that Jeanne Alter shouts this line, resulting in large uppercase letters, makes it all but impossible to miss, not to mention that as a free event Welfare unit, a significant portion of the player base had the character and were able to see the typo for themselves. This resulted in a lot of fun being poked at the translation team.[[/labelnote]]
* '''Kama'''
** Gremlin/Nugget Kama [[labelnote:Explanation]]Kama's Riyo artwork is particularly memorably to many people due to her small proportions, her shit-eating grin and her just standing there. As such, many people like to call her a "gremlin" or "nugget" while possibly using the Riyo artwork.[[/labelnote]]
* '''Kiara Sesshoin'''
** Kiara the Punching Bag[[labelnote:Explanation]]A problem that some FGO content creators have is the lack of readily-repeatable, high-difficulty bosses, meaning that they will try to preserve as many notable bosses like the 1Mil HP dragon from Gilgamesh's third Interlude to be used as demonstration for Servant's capabilities. The battle against Kiara [[spoiler:(as Beast III/R)]] in the end of SE.RA.PH Main Interlude is the most notable of the bosses as her three health bars, [[spoiler:mostly neutral class advantage]], and her rematch Challenge Quest being repeatable means that she is the perfect candidate for any boss clear demonstrations.[[/labelnote]]
* '''Kijyo Kōyō'''
** While debuting in ''Literature/FateRequiem'', Kijyo Kōyō's T-rex form has spawned many ''Franchise/JurassicPark'' and/or ''Manga/JojosBizarreAdventureSteelBallRun'' related jokes and fanart with her debut here. Her dinosaur form is generally considered her ''most popular'' ascension form within the fandom.
* '''Kingprotea'''
** Kingprotea in My Room [[labelnote:Explanation]]Kingprotea is bar none the largest summonable Servant. This is basically the similar situation with Ivan with his size, taken up to eleven; Kingprotea's portrait in My Room has her sitting down just to barely fit in the screen.[[/labelnote]]
** Kingprotea headpats[[labelnote:Explanation]]Kingprotea's NP has her simply turn giant and press down on enemies with her hands. Cue the jokes about how dangerous her patting someone is or using her NP on enemies like 'Sword, or Death' Kiara, Tiamat, Demon Pillars and more.[[/labelnote]]
* '''Koyanskaya'''
** Koyanskaya trying to fit in.[[labelnote:Explanation]]Koyanskaya of Light is one of the best Buster supports in the game, rivaling with Merlin, so naturally, she is one of the most sought meta-defining Servant by the players. The problem is that story-wise, Koyanskaya didn't have the best first impression, being a [[TheSociopath sociopath]] that continuously taunted the player while a lot of times getting away from her crimes with a hobby of 'seeing humans suffer' (except that one time Qin Shi Huang managed to torture her), and one of her first actions is mercilessly stomping the depowered Fou. The meme take form of Koyanskaya having an even harder time to fit in, even compared to Ashiya Douman, and having to bribe the protagonist with her Buster Support credentials in order to fit in, with some characters just wanting her dead, and Fou being one step closer to treat her as a second [[ArchEnemy Merlin]].[[/labelnote]]
** [[VideoGame/MetalGearSolid Metal Gear Vitch]][[labelnote:Explanation]]Many fans have taken note of the attacks of Koyanskaya of Light make heavy use of modern weaponry including guns and in the case of her NP, her [[HumongousMecha NF-79 Tactical Suppression Vehicle]], which is very similar to [[VideoGame/MetalGearRisingRevengeance Metal Gear Excelsus]] aside from being pink. Add in the fact that her first ascension outfit is a SpyCatsuit not too disimilar to a female Solid Snake (albeit with a bit of added cleavage), and you can expect at least one comparison to ''Metal Gear'' to be made whenever she's brought up.[[/labelnote]]
* '''Kriemhild'''
** Kriemhild is Sieg's mom.[[labelnote:Explanation]]Since Kriemhild is Siegfield's wife, and with Siegfried being a father figure to Sieg as well as how Kriemhild end up developing harsh but maternal feelings for the homunculus in Kriemhild's My Room lines, many people started referring to Kriemhild as Sieg's mom. Most fanwork involves her lecturing Sieg ''before'' doing the same to Siegfried who comes to interfere.[[/labelnote]]
** Kaguya Alter[[labelnote:Explanation]]Kriemhild is voiced by Creator/AoiKoga, the VA for [[Manga/KaguyaSamaLoveIsWar Kaguya Shinomiya]], and with her crazed disposition and tsundere attitude towards her husband, jokes were made that Kaguya went insane after being rejected by Shirogane. Many moments from Manga/KaguyaSamaLoveIsWar are applied to Kriemhild, and by extension Siegfried and Sieg, such as when Shirogane fell asleep on Kaguya's shoulder, Ishigami being tied up and Kaguya holding him hostage and making a rather menacing statement about something that ends with "How cute." (especially about the meme below)[[/labelnote]]
** Kriemhild is annoyed by being surrounded by people with HeroicSuicide tendency.[[labelnote:Explanation]]Kriemhild's hate towards Siegfried comes from barring her knowing his SelfSacrificeScheme, thus her devotion for avenging him becomes totally pointless. Most fans agree that she acts like Sieg's mom (as above) is to prevent him from following his "father" (which obviously failed already)... while wondering how she'll treat his "partner" Jeanne (whose HeroicSuicide pushed Sieg to his HeroicSacrifice later on).[[/labelnote]]
* '''Kukulkan'''
** Waifu ORT[[labelnote:Explanation (Major Nahui Mictlān Spoilers!)]]ORT has often been joked about as a possible waifu long before the reveal that Kukulkan is ORT's heart given consciousness as a god. As a result, many people begin joking that Kukulkan is ORT as a waifu or that the ORT-chan is real.[[/labelnote]]
* '''Locusta'''
** Finally, a Kinoko Nasu servant [[labelnote:Explanation]]Due to Locusta implementing mushrooms as part of her design, many joke that she happens to be the AuthorAvatar of Kinoko Nasu himself, who has a MushroomMan as his mascot.[[/labelnote]]
* '''Mandricardo'''
** Mandricardo being anxious about his anniversary outfit.[[labelnote:Explanation]]The game's social media teased certain 7th Anniversary [=CEs=] by only showing their silhouette during the countdown to July 30th. The teaser commonly speculated to either be Holmes or Seimei was eventually revealed to be Mandricardo when the [=CEs=] were released with fans immediately pointing out how in-character it would be for Mandricardo to start getting anxiety over being mistaken for someone else and it spawned various jokes and fanart over the matter.[[/labelnote]]
* '''Marie Antoinette'''
** My homies/MLG Marie. [[labelnote:Explanation]]When one of Marie Antoinette's story responses was translated to [[TotallyRadical "Whassup, my homies?"]] players were quick to associate MLG memes with her.[[/labelnote]]
** Kirakira [[labelnote:Explanation]]Translated as 'Shining', this's a phrase by Marie (when using a Skill) that is often associated with her, and also combined with the above. Example: "Kirakira, my homies!"[[/labelnote]]
** Marie Antoinette is a [[Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventure JoJo]]! [[labelnote: Explanation]]Her name at birth was Marie Antonia Josepha Johanna, thus fulfilling the need for a ''Jo Jo'' protagonist to have the syllables in their name.[[/labelnote]]
* '''Mash Kyrielight'''
** Smile protected. [[labelnote:Explanation]]Building off the wider "don't you want to protect that smile?" meme that gained popularity with many anime fans, once Mash protects ''your'' smile with her HeroicSacrifice and your heroics in turn inspire a certain character to defy reality and save her from death, you two share a moment outside Chaldea for the first time where she gives you a beaming smile. The threat is over for now and the smile has been, in fact, protected.[[/labelnote]]
** Mash the third-wheel cockblock[[labelnote:Explanation]]Mash tags along with the protagonist everywhere, even on excursions with other female Servants who have obvious romantic intentions. Players who prefer those other female Servants over Mash would rather not have her hanging around and making disapproving faces while they're trying to have alone time with their waifu of choice.[[/labelnote]]
** Mash has a gun.[[labelnote:Explanation]]The Olympus trailer reveals that Mash's Ortinax shield has been modified into a {{BFG}}, akin to a railgun. Combine that with how up to this point she's mainly been a defensive character to the point of pretty much never really using her sword in her original form, people started joking about what would lead her to break out a massive gun for the offensive and the power that she now wields. Gameplay wise, it manifests as an upgrade to her Bunker Bolt skill, renamed Black Barrel, which doubles the Buster buff and critical damage buff and lets Mash ignore defense buffs for 3 turns.[[/labelnote]]
** Why can't we grail Mash?[[labelnote:Explanation]]Mash's Ascensions are tied to story progression with her current level cap being the standard 4-star level 80, and she is the only Servant in the entire game who cannot be selected for Palingenesis to increase her level cap up to 100 with Grails. Mash fans have expressed the desire to give her their Grails, assuming the story doesn't eventually reach a point where she automatically gets upgraded to a level 100 cap.[[/labelnote]]
** You can't spell "Smash" without "Mash".[[labelnote:Explanation]]Due to Mash having something of an implied romantic crush on the protagonist, and the fact she is a common source of fanservice, fans often joke about her name and wanting to "[[DoubleEntendre smash]]" her.[[/labelnote]]
** Mashu Smashu.[[labelnote:Explanation]]Even before the Smash Bros. guest character speculation came about, this meme had already existed thanks to the Camelot singularity, where Mash inherited Galahad's indignance at Lancelot's behavior, usually showing up in fanart as Mash about to smash Lancelot around with her shield just as he's about to hit on another female Servant, for example.[[/labelnote]]
** NTR Mash[[labelnote:Explanation (Spoilers for Lostbelt 6)]]In Lostbelt No. 6, Mash gets hit with amnesia and is married off to a lion fairy. While it turns out nothing physical happened as Mash is just meant to be a figurehead, the chaos of spoilers leaking in after the chapter's release meant fans started assuming the worst, causing it to spread like wildfire.[[/labelnote]]
* '''Medusa'''
** Medusa's crouch[[labelnote:Explanation]]Part of Medusa's reworked animations include her making her signature crouching pose during her Extra Attack. However, the positioning makes it so that when she's not at the front of the party, she'll be doing it right in front of the party's leader, in most cases close to their crotch. It's common to see various screenshots of this with multiple characters.[[/labelnote]]
* '''Merlin'''
** Merlin is Woz [[labelnote:Explanation]] In conjunction with the Nobunaga meme crossing with ''Series/KamenRiderZiO'', Merlin's position as a Kingmaker and a retainer to Altria is often used to compare him to Woz. Became even more obvious with Merlin's Summer Costume Camelot and Co, which gives Merlin an outfit similar to Woz. [[/labelnote]]
** Roman, I finally understand. [[labelnote:Explanation]]Due to the reveal that Merlin's been catfishing Roman throughout Part I as virtual idol Magi☆Mari, it's incredibly common to show Magi☆Mari looking like a female Merlin. The release of Proto-Merlin on "[=FGO=] Arcade" has many fans uttering this statement or things similar due to how attractive she is.[[/labelnote]]
* '''Minamoto no Raikou'''
** [[Literature/DoYouLoveYourMomAndHerTwoHitMultiTargetAttacks Do You Love Your Mom And Her Seven-Hit Multi-Target Buster Noble Phantasm?]][[labelnote:Explanation]]Thanks to [[MyBelovedSmother the similarities]] [[IncestSubtext between the]] [[MsFanservice mothers in question]] of this light novel/anime and this game, the joke on the series' name writes itself with Raikou, who is famous for being a very useful AOE, Buster NP, 5-Star Servant and a very hot mama. Coincidentally, Murasaki Shikibu, fellow sexy older lady drawn by Raita, shares the same voice actress with the eponymous mom from the light novel.[[/labelnote]]
* '''Miyamoto Musashi'''
** Two kilograms each [[labelnote:Explanation]][[https://twitter.com/sian_sasaland/status/1161680058269855744 A fanart of swimsuit Musashi]] based on [[https://twitter.com/pon6336/status/1161987593031958529 this picture]] led fans to assume that Musashi's breasts do weigh that amount.[[/labelnote]]
** Musashi likes little boys[[labelnote:Explaination]] During Shimousa, Musashi says that she wishes Fuuma were "a little younger" but clarifies that she's joking and it's still good to appreciate "handsome young men". Given how Fuuma isn't particularly old, fans took the line out of context and ran with the idea that Musashi is attracted to children.[[/labelnote]]
* '''Mordred'''
** CHICHI-UEEEEEE/FAAATHHEEERRR!!! [[labelnote:Explanation]]Mordred has daddy issues with Altria, true. But thanks to the Drama CD of [[https://youtu.be/hMkHs3J_iiI?t=538 GUDAGUDA]] [[https://youtu.be/sea_pUoczag?t=130 Order]], she tends to be portrayed as going LargeHam on her father, especially that overly long yell, which is oft-repeated by fandom. It can also extend to any other characters with [[Creator/MiyukiSawashiro the same voice as hers]], especially when [[Franchise/BlazBlue they]] [[Manga/JojosBizarreAdventure also]] [[VideoGame/FireEmblemAwakening have]] [[VideoGame/SoulCaliburVI daddy issues.]][[/labelnote]]
* '''Morgan'''
** Morgan's [[Anime/PuiPuiMolcar Moru-car]][[labelnote:Explanation]]Courtesy of a non-canon idea Nasu wrote on his blog and the pun that comes out of combining Morgan's name with ''Pui Pui Molcar'', an exodus of fanart depicting Morgan driving a guinea pig-car hybrid has been making the rounds on Twitter in early 2022. Even funnier - ''Pui Pui Molcar'' was one of the two anime series that Oberon failed to outtrend (despite his infamous Twitter popularity that outshone [[Franchise/KingdomHearts Sora]] [[VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosUltimate getting into Smash]], the release of ''VideoGame/PokemonDiamondAndPearl's remakes'', ''Manga/ChainsawMan'', ''VideoGame/UmaMusumePrettyDerby'' and other anime and games), the other being ''Manga/DemonSlayerKimetsuNoYaiba's'' ''Infinity Train'' movie.[[/labelnote]]
** Triple Morgan System[[labelnote:Explanation (LB6 spoilers)]]After the release of Aesc, many people begin to use a "Triple Morgan System", where the team just consists of Aesc, Berserker Morgan, and Altria Caster due to her being the other Avalon le Fae.[[/labelnote]]
** OfficeLady Morgan[[labelnote:Explaination]]Fanarts of Morgan as a modern day business woman are very popular. Often included with Baobhan Sith as her teenage daughter and the protagonist as her spouse[[/labelnote]]
* '''Nagao Kagetora/Uesugi Kenshin'''
** Kagetora on toilet[[labelnote:Explanation]]Japanese fan artists had fun with the theory about Uesugi Kenshin dying while having a "call of nature" by either succumbing to his disease or being assassinated. They depict Kagetora in various antics when dealing with modern toilets, or even having them as her WeaksauceWeakness much like Medb and cheese.[[/labelnote]]
** Kagetora is a [[Franchise/DanganRonpa Remnant of Despair]][[labelnote:Explanation]]Kagetora sometimes sports spiral-like eyes, similar to anyone who's a Remnant of Despair in the ''Franchise/DanganRonpa'' franchise. Add up with how she's a StepfordSmiler incapable of anything but smiling eerily... many think that she's one of the followers of despair, and speaking of ''Danganronpa'', Kagetora and her spiral-y eyes might also attract comparisons with Servants designed by DR's character designer Rui Komatsuzaki, most prominently Edmond Dantes, who did fall into genuine despair and had similarities with one of such remnants, Nagito Komaeda.[[/labelnote]]
** CatGirl Kagetora [[labelnote:Explanation]]For no discernable reason, Kagetora occasionally displays a VerbalTic of saying "Nya" at the end of her sentences. This then gets used to portray Kagetora as some sort of CatGirl like Atalante, which is ironic because cats are relatives of tigers, and she has 'tiger' in her name (Kage''tora'') and as the epithet of her rival UsefulNotes/TakedaShingen (Tiger of Kai)[[/labelnote]]
* '''Nitocris'''
** Swimsuit Nitocris. [[labelnote: Explanation]]Nitocris' Swimsuit Assassin alt has amassed a ridiculous amount of memes, thanks primarily to the Medjed disguise she puts on in her earlier levels. The meme lasted well into the Halloween season and beyond, with Nitocris still wearing it in order to use it as a makeshift ghost costume, or use it as a blanket in the winter, or just because she doesn't feel like taking it off.[[/labelnote]]
* '''Nursery Rhyme'''
** Nursery Rhyme saying "Fuck" / [[{{Pun}} Cursery Rhyme]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]Thanks to this [[https://www.pixiv.net/member_illust.php?mode=manga&illust_id=68233822 comic]] where Nursery Rhyme said 'Fuck' in a complete contrast with her innocence, her particular face there has become a reaction face for saying OhCrap[[/labelnote]]
* '''Oberon'''
** Oberon Vs Merlin [[labelnote:Explanation (MASSIVE spoilers for Lostbelt 6)]] Oberon's passive actually makes Merlin's buffs have a 20% chance of failing, resulting in them being portrayed as antagonistic against each other. It makes even more sense when Oberon's true identity is actually ''Vortigern,'' whose defeat was mainly thanks to Merlin's plans. This gets amplified in August 2022 where Proto!Mer- excuse us, [[InsistentTerminology Lady Avalon]] is added as a Pretender-class Servant, which led to many joke parties where Oberon is sandwiched between the two Merlins.[[/labelnote]]
** Oberon and Arjuna Alter back to back/[[Music/BoBRapper Can we pretend that airplanes in the night sky are like shooting stars?]][[labelnote:Explanation (spoilers for Lostbelt 6)]]English-speaking fans were quick to notice that the final ascension artworks for Arjuna Alter and Oberon, [[https://i.ytimg.com/vi/ppaZXNlfsW0/maxresdefault.jpg when being put side-to-side, strongly resemble and compliment each other]]. The fact that Arjuna Alter's artwork shows him with a night sky background further led to comparisons to a [[WesternAnimation/RegularShow certain]] [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic infamous]] CrackShip [[https://www.deviantart.com/bluedog444/art/MordeTwi-Airplanes-319272821 artwork]] that has turned into a meme of its' own, which has resulted in memes such as [[https://twitter.com/KompyAlter/status/1425806776100851712 this]].[[/labelnote]]
** (x)gatsu no Oberon[[labelnote:Explanation]]Taken from the Japanese fandom, this mixes Oberon with the Japanese title of ''Manga/MarchComesInLikeALion'', whose author Chica Umino also designed Oberon. While other months can be substituted depending on when the meme's user drew Oberon, 'Sangatsu no Oberon' (Oberon of March) in particular can also be used to put him in ''3gatsu'''s setting.[[/labelnote]]
** Oberon [[spoiler:Vortigern]] the stalker[[labelnote:Explanation '''(Major Spoilers for Avalon le Fae and''' '''''Oshi No Ko'''''''')''']]Oberon Vortigern's "Grumpy Summer Oberon" summer Spiritron Dress makes him resemble the [[spoiler:stalker that killed Ai Hoshino]] in ''Manga/OshiNoKo''. Cue many jokes regarding sandwiching Mysterious Idol XX Alter or Mash (due to both her and Ai being voiced by Creator/RieTakahashi) between two Summer Oberon Vortigerns. It can get {{exaggerated}} in the final boss fight of "Servant Summer Festival 2023" where there can be '''''five''''' Summer Oberon Vortigerns (two by deploying the player's and the friend's in addition to three fought as the enemies) as shown in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QK25wXQT_Qc this video]].[[/labelnote]]
** Oberon went to Hot Topic[[labelnote:Explaination]]With Oberon's 2nd playable Summer Spiritron Dress being a dark and edgy hoodie, tights and sandals that he bought from a shop last minute during the "Servant Summer Festival! 2023" event because Altria Caster busted him nicking what would become his Refreshing Summer Prince outfit from the cafeteria, many players made jokes about him buying from Hot Topic (known for their edgy clothing).[[/labelnote]]
* '''Oda Nobukatsu'''
** Nobukatsu is the ultimate simp/siscon.[[labelnote:Explanation]]Nobukatsu's entire gimmick is effectively being a SupportPartyMember [[SituationalSword especially geared towards]] Nobunaga, up to the point ''Nobu'' is the one who gets the most benefits off his sacrificial Noble Phantasm. Combine this with how he basically treats himself like Nobu's [[HeroWorship hype man]] and defines himself as just being a stepping stone for her greatness, it's not hard to see his "brotherly love" going ''way'' too far, to the point it's also joked he takes pride in being able to one-up ''other'' Servants who express their love for their siblings, most notably Castor.[[/labelnote]]
* '''Oda Nobunaga'''
** WASHI JA! [[labelnote:Explanation]]This is Nobunaga's 'acknowledgement' quote after picking a card. It's an archaic way to say "Me!", mostly used by old men or lords that lived in Nobunaga's era... but in the context of FGO, it's ''always'' meant to refer to Nobunaga and her wacky attitude, also oft-accompanied with one of her cartoony circular eyes, Koha-Ace style[[/labelnote]]
** [[Series/KamenRiderZiO IWAE!]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]In the [=GudaGuda=] Final event a new version of Nobunaga was introduced called Demon King (Maoh) Nobunaga, just as Zi-O series was airing. Since this is the same title that Zi-O is known as, it was inevitable that Woz, the retainer of Zi-O, would be spammed whenever she appears.[[/labelnote]]
* '''Odysseus'''
** Odysseus's [[CleavageWindow boob window]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]JP players made fun of Odysseus's CleavageWindow when he went helmet-less in one of his ascensions. Some even joke that this is how Charlotte Corday killed him (in the story, Charlotte stabbed him in the back), possibly with a superior mastery of boobs. It's even more hilarious that Odysseus is a Rider and Charlotte is an Assassin, and her skillset actually counters his (her Invicibility Pierce skill and Ignore Defence on her NP makes his third skill moot).[[/labelnote]]
** We all now know why Troy fell.[[labelnote:Explanation]]Odysseus' Noble Phantasm is basically a mechanical Trojan Horse [[TransformingMecha which can turn]] [[HumongousMecha into a humanoid robot]] with a ChestBlaster. Almost everyone on the net agrees that Trojans taking the horse isn't out of stupidity; after all, no red-blooded man could possibly resist taking away a fully-functional mecha left as a present on their doorstep. [[/labelnote]]
*** In relation, the reveal that his version of the Trojan Horse is a HumongousMecha led to many jokes about Odysseus piloting a Franchise/{{Gundam}}. [[AMechByAnyOtherName Or any other mecha]].
** Kamen Rider Odysseus [[labelnote:Explanation]]Odysseus' Stage 2 design includes a helmet [[spoiler:after two years]], making him look like a Kamen Rider. Fans immediately brought in good ol' Kamen Rider jokes. Some even gave him nicknames like "[[Series/KamenRiderRyuki Ouja]]" and "[[Series/KamenRiderZeroOne Metal Cluster Hopper]]".[[/labelnote]]
* '''Okita Souji'''
** DAISHOURI!![[labelnote:Explanation]]Okita's victory celebration is often used as a way to express great success or to refer to anything Okita does or things that make her happy (many fans yelled this en masse when Okita ''finally'' got her Summer variant)... or when it happens to her VA, Creator/AoiYuuki. It can also be snowcloned into 'Dai-(X)' to refer to 'Great X' (since Daishouri translates to Great Victory)[[/labelnote]]
** Okita-san Die-shouri/Die surely[[labelnote:Explanation]]Historical Okita died of tuberculosis and that have been poked fun about Fate!Okita's ButtMonkey status. It doesn't help that her summer variant involved Okita dying in its backstory. Even in gameplay, her overbearing demerits makes her good as dead. Poor Okita can never get a break even when her long running meme has been discredited.[[/labelnote]]
* '''The Old Man of the Mountain/First Hassan'''
** "Absolutely haram/halal."[[note]]The Hassan-i-Sabbah legend originated from Islamic stories. And the baddest of them all, First Hassan, ends up memetically using the phrase "Absolutely haram" (haram is basically the Islamic phrase of forbidden things that followers must always avoid, like pigs) as his own substitute for Altera's 'Bad Civilization'. Naturally, his substitute for 'Good Civilization' is "Absolutely halal"[[/note]]
** DOKODA![[labelnote:Explanation]]King Hassan's attack lines are all various inflections of "Dokoda", which translates to "there". The phrase has thus become synonymous with the game's resident badass.[[/labelnote]]
* '''Osakabehime'''
** Gomenasorry [[labelnote:Explanation]]Because the NA translation changed some of her lines into [[PlayedForLaughs deliberately]] cringeworthy GratuitousJapanese, Osakabehime is now known in the English fandom as a [[{{Hikikomori}} shut-in]] [[OccidentalOtaku weeb]] despite being a Japanese youkai herself. This also ties in with people complaining about finding her English dialogue cringy, and attacking and insulting the localization team for supposedly altering her characterization.[[/labelnote]]
** [[Memes/JojosBizarreAdventure NIGERUNDAYOU!!!]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]One of Osakabehime's GratuitousJapanese phrases is that phrase used when she attempts to run away. It's also a reference to a meme from ''Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventure''. Additional material also shows that Miyamoto Musashi (who DOES have a historical/mythological connection with Osakabehime) has a Battle Continuation EX skill that is basically the Joestar Family Secret Technique, so fans assume that she was the one who taught Osakabehime to, well, NIGERUNDAYO.[[/labelnote]]
** YAMETEKUDASTOOOPP!!! [[labelnote:Explanation]]One of the most used of Osakabehime's weebspeak, since there's a lot of cases that people would want to say a BigNo or BigShutUp, and if Osakabehime's involved in a tiny bit, expect this phrase to pop up.[[/labelnote]]
** YEET THE NEET[[labelnote:Explanation]]The "Imaginary Scramble" event has an exploration mechanic with Servants launched from the ''Nautilus'' to reveal new tiles on the map grid. Because of Osakabehime's unwillingness to be launched and how her animation emphasizes being thrown out of the submarine, unlike other Servants who jump from the submarine, this meme quickly became shorthand for her situation in the event.[[/labelnote]]
* '''Passionlip'''
** One ton of fun [[labelnote:Explanation]]Passionlip's listed weight of 1 ton has many fans joke that the weight doesn't come from her gigantic metal arms or her Breast Valley data storage space, but from her massive 160cm breasts themselves.[[/labelnote]]
* '''Penthesilea'''
** [=Amazon.com=] CEO [[labelnote: Explanation]]For Penthesilea, Queen of the Amazons, being an 'Amazon CEO' isn't just her FanNickname, it also made her the target of [=Amazon.com=] spoofs, like being made to deliver Amazon products, or when said product is [[http://safebooru.org/index.php?page=post&s=view&id=2350151 to instantly kill you.]][[/labelnote]]
* '''Qin Shi Huang'''
** Chin[[labelnote:Explanation]]Qin Shi Huang's [[RoyalWe personal pronoun]] is what's listed under his gender which led to it primarily being associated with his character. On top of that, it can be construed as Japanese slang for penis which the JP fandom had a field day with.[[/labelnote]]
* '''Queen of Sheba'''
** POKING SHEBA'S SHEBAS [[labelnote:Explanation]]Caster of Midrash is the shopkeeper and lottery watcher of the Battle in New York 2018 event. In the lottery portion, the buttons for doing the rolls are located right over her rather [[BuxomBeautyStandard large chest]]; the joke basically writes itself.[[/labelnote]]
* '''Saint Georgios'''
** ART THOU A DRAGON?![[labelnote:Explanation]]George's ability to apply Dragon trait with his Noble Phantasm has made people believe that George thinks ''anything'' can be a dragon.[[/labelnote]]
* '''Saint Martha'''
** Martha hates BB's guts [[labelnote:Explanation]]Martha appears to be a perfect counter against BB and her shenanigans during SE.RA.PH. Ruler Martha is one of the best counters against BB due to her class advantage while Rider Martha can easily remove debuffs should BB Slots mess with the player. This extends to the [=ServaFes=] event, when BB becomes a host of Pele and Nyarlathotep and gains Divinity, which makes her vulnerable to Ruler Martha's Limbs of Jacob skill in-game, as it has anti-Divine properties. Fans poked fun at this and artists drew some art depicting Martha bullying BB and similar stuff (most prominently, keeping BB's {{Troll}}ish shenanigans at bay and not being amused at it, reacting to any bad things BB would do with violence, to the point that BB runs off in the face of Martha).[[/labelnote]]
* '''Saitou Hajime'''
** Where's my [[Manga/RurouniKenshin Gatotsu!?]] (Okita stole it...)[[labelnote:Explanation]]One of the earlier appearances of Saitou Hajime in mainstream media is his portrayal in ''Manga/RurouniKenshin'' where he popularized the sword stance 'Gatotsu'. Even during ''Koha-Ace'', the Kenshin-based Saitou made a cameo (with his eyes censored). The Gatotsu stance eventually was used by Okita in several of her animations (in particular her Buster attack and also somehow on her Mumyou Sandanzuki), and no one batted an eye at it... until Saitou himself became summonable, upon which it became an easy joke to have Saitou wonder who the hell stole his patented Gatotsu stance and it was actually Okita...[[/labelnote]]
** [[VideoGame/DevilMayCry Saitou May Cry/is Motivated]][[labelnote:Explanation]]Because Saitou's initial art is basically a similar looking BadassLongcoat and having a sheathed katana, he's been compared a lot with [[VideoGame/DevilMayCry Vergil]], his quotes being put on Saitou ("I'm motivated", "Foolishness, Master, Foolishness", "I NEED MORE POWER!", "Might Controls Everything."). And to further the comparison, he's also voiced by [[Creator/KaitoIshikawa Nero's Japanese VA]]. [[/labelnote]]
** About evil? [[Memes/FireEmblemThreeHouses Kill every last one of them!]][[labelnote:Explanation]]A bizarre mixture of both ''Manga/RurouniKenshin'' and ''VideoGame/FireEmblemThreeHouses'' within Saitou. ''Kenshin''-Saitou is known for his motto "Aku. Soku. Zan" AKA "Kill Evil Swiftly.", and additionally, he shares the Japanese voice with [[VideoGame/FireEmblemThreeHouses Dimitri Alexandre Blaiddyd]], who eventually gained messier hair and thirst of blood as time goes on like Saitou, and eventually uttered the memetic phrase "Kill every last one of them!!". The two phrases can be easily combined into the effect of 'Swiftly killing every last one of those evils' or used as standalone phrases for this Saitou. Even the Gatotsu theft meme above can also attract another memetic line from Dimitri: "Is this some kind of twisted joke!?"[[/labelnote]]
* '''Sakamoto Ryoma & Oryou'''
** Yay, Peace, Peace. [[labelnote:Explanation]]When doing Noble Phantasm, Sakamoto Ryoma might get an alternate sprite where Oryou instead puts up a peace sign, much to Ryoma's consternation. This sprite/pose tends to get snowcloned with other possible duos, like [[https://twitter.com/natsuno_n/status/1009085761121972226 such]] or [[https://twitter.com/cei_draws/status/1008044338193018880 such]].[[/labelnote]]
* '''Salome'''
** Salome's [[VisualNovel/SchoolDays Nice Boat]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]Salome's {{Yandere}} traits plus her obsession in keeping the skulls of her lovers, and her particular favorite being John the Baptist's, made her comparable with the infamous ending of the ''VisualNovel/SchoolDays'' anime, where [[spoiler:Kotonoha snapped and murdered Sekai, and then took the head of her dead lover Makoto for herself while riding a yacht/nice boat]]. So people like to imagine that Salome took John's head to a boat and...[[/labelnote]]
** Christian Servants vs Salome [[labelnote:Explanation]]John the Baptist is an important figure in the Bible, prophesizing the arrival of Jesus Christ and baptizing him. And Salome did... ''[[OffWithHisHead that]]'' to him. While they do not have particular lines against Salome, other Christian Saints such as Jeanne, Martha and Georgios (and to an extent, maybe also King Hassan, since John was considered a bigger prophet/Saint in Islam, thus also tying with the above meme, King Hassan usually considers Salome 'Absolutely haram') are portrayed to be absolutely ''livid'' against Salome and treating her as some sort of ArchEnemy in order to save John the Baptist from torture. Which may be easier said than done considering Salome can deal extra damage to LawfulGood Servants, like all of them.[[/labelnote]]
* '''Sasaki Kojiro'''
** [[MemeticBadass Sasaki Kojiro, Savior of France]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]The fact that Sasaki is one of the two best cards for the French part of the game (said map is infested with Rider-class dragons, which Assassin-class Servants do extra damage against) has led to its reputation in the Fate/Grand Order fandom as the Savior of France.[[/labelnote]]
** [X] is [[BadassBoast just a bigger swallow]]. [[labelnote:Explanation]]Kojirou's Noble Phantasm refers to cutting down a swallow mid-flight. Replace X with anything from the aforementioned dragons to end-game bosses.[[/labelnote]]
** REGEND [[labelnote:Explanation]]Sasaki Kojiro's interlude was named this before they corrected the spelling. After he's defeated and seemingly killed during the Moon Festival event, one of the choices for the PC to say is "LEGEND OF SAMURAI" in Japanese. Nasu was having a blast while writing this.[[/labelnote]]
* '''Scathach'''
** [[MaamShock Old hag]] [[KilledMidSentence Scath]]-- ''"I can't believe Troper is dead."'' [[labelnote:Explanation]]Scathach is kind of sensitive about her age, and tends to get riled in her own cool-headed way when it's mentioned. How do fans portray it? Scathach is portrayed to be [[BerserkButton hypersensitive about her age to the point of murdering anyone that calls her by terms that imply she's old.]] Most common victim of this is Cu Chulainn, whose laid back attitude might bait him to make a comment on her age, and thus repeat the old meme of [[Anime/CarnivalPhantasm "Lancer/Cu ga shinda!" "Kono hito de nashi!"]], but he can be replaced by anyone else. Usually continued with or having a variation of someone else mentioning about cleaning up puddles of blood, implying that the murder is very messy. This is also a reference with [[Memes/{{Nasuverse}} the one involving Touko Aozaki and a phrase consisting a certain state of undesired cleanness and a certain crimson color]], seeing that many saw Scathach to be strikingly similar with Touko. And then Caster Cu gets an updated voicelines and stepped on the very same line, with Scathach trying to impale him as a result, making it partially ascended; since Scathach's method in the meme is usually instantaneous and will result a KilledMidSentence phenomenon, Caster Cu could at least finish his sentence.[[/labelnote]]
** Don't call it [=ScatFest=]! [[labelnote:Explanation]]Scathach being announced as the face of 2020's yearly Autumn festival lottery event led to fans trying to nickname it similar to the previous Nero Festival ([=NeroFest=]) and Battle in New York ([=GilFest=]), which results in the rather... [[ToiletHumor unfortunate-sounding]] [=ScatFest=]. Alternate jokes include Scathach insisting on less rude names or getting upset at the name everyone chooses to call her event.[[/labelnote]]
*** [=ScathFest=]? [=ShishouFest=]? [=BunnyFest=]? [[TooDumbToLive OldHagFe]]- [[KilledMidSentence ooooof]]![[labelnote:Explanation]]Sometimes, after Scathach has ranted about not calling it [=ScatFest=], various other characters will supply other possible names. Inevitably, this ends in Cu Chulainn, as per the meme above, insulting her age and getting a Gae Bolg right through the chest. [[BrickJoke (Jeez what a bloody mess we gotta clean up...)]][[/labelnote]]
** [[BraveScot Scottish Accent]] Scathach [[labelnote:Explanation]]In a similar manner with the [[Memes/{{Pokemon}} Scottish Female Pokemon Trainer]], people like to spice up Scathach's accent into a Scottish one, because, while she is ethnically [[FightingIrish Irish/Celtic]], the Isle of Skye is described as being in modern Scotland. [[/labelnote]]
* '''Scathach Skadi'''
** Scathach Skadi, Savior of Quick [[labelnote:Explanation]]Quick-based Servants have been the butt of inefficiency jokes thanks to Merlin bringing in the Buster meta and Quick Servants having no busted supports as opposed to Merlin for Buster and Tamamo for Arts (Osakabe-hime tried to be one, but was considered a bit lacking). Then comes Scathach Skadi, who's easily an ''absolutely amazing'' Quick Support; this made her hailed as the Savior of Quick Meta, and sometimes, parodies with ''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender'' can be applied, [[Memes/AvatarTheLastAirbender with Merlin/Buster taking the place of the Fire Nation/invaders.]][[/labelnote]]
** Skadi carrying Quick on her back / "Fine, I'll do it myself!" [[labelnote:Explanation]]Extending from the above meme, with the release of Caster Altria and later Koyanskaya of Light, Quick fell behind in the meta once again, leading many to ask for new Quick support. Cue ''Summer'' Scathach-Skadi, who is an even ''better'' Quick support with an offensive Quick NP on top of that, who can loop. By herself. You can have an all Skadi Quick farming team now. Cue jokes about Skadi being the entire Quick meta[[/labelnote]]
** Jokes along the lines of "Did you know Skadi has a Noble Phantasm?" or "Skadi world wide NP reveal!" became popular during the NA server's third anniversary when she was released[[labelnote:Explanation]]Unlike most Caster supports, Skadi's primary value comes from her skills, meaning players have less reason to use her NP compared to Merlin, Tamamo, or Waver. As a result, a lot of players joke she either doesn't have an NP, or that it was hiding due to it being seen as less useful. This can be seen as a good thing, however, as it means that you only ever need to summon her once to gain the maximum mileage from her.[[/labelnote]]
* '''Sei Shōnagon'''
** Boomer Caster and Zoomer Archer[[labelnote:Explanation]] Murasaki Shikibu and Sei Shōnagon, respectively. They're both famous Japanese writers from the Heian era, but the former is more old-fashioned and mature while the latter looks like she's in her teens and has a more modern outlook and outfit. And they hardly get along. Sei being the 'modern' one tends to use the newer meme/slang used against the baby boomer generation, "OK, Boomer", and Murasaki counters with a newer and maybe accurate "Very well, Zoomer."[[/labelnote]]
** Sei Shōnagon's dynamic cut-ins in her NP prompted fanartists to draw other Servants doing similar poses. This meme even spread outside ''F/GO''.
* '''Semiramis'''
** It's definitely [[Literature/FateApocrypha Semiramis]].[[labelnote: Explanation]]Semiramis fans on Reddit who'd been waiting for Semiramis's availability in the FGO gacha latched on to the idea that ''all'' the characters from the then-upcoming ''Cosmos in the Lostbelt'' chapter were her ([[https://i.redd.it/4k3eyqy637601.png even when they weren't Servants and/or clearly not her]]). Even after she became available as the featured Servant in the 2018 Valentine's Day event, the meme lives on.[[/labelnote]]
* '''Sen no Rikyu'''
** "You want this Rikyu to make you matcha latte?" [[labelnote:Explanation]] This is actually a transplanted meme from the old manga, ''Tokyo Osamurai Land'', highlighting the absurdity of a historical Tea Master making a cheap modern drink. FGO went with it and so did the fandom. [[/labelnote]]
* '''Senji Muramasa'''
** Muramasa the Sword Simp [[labelnote:Explanation]]One of Muramasa's My Room lines has him fanboying over Ibuki Douji...'s sword (Kusanagi). This has given rise to the meme of Muramasa preferring swords over women, even the original Fate/Stay Night cast.[[/labelnote]]
* '''Sherlock Holmes'''
** Hand-framing[[labelnote:Explanation]]Sherlock Holmes's Extra Attack animations include closely examining and [[FingerFraming hand-framing]] enemies. Just like the Medusa crouch meme, [[https://i.redd.it/ys21w5jazncz.jpg this is]] [[http://i.imgur.com/FZk7ltA.jpg also]] [[https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DIFHRnUU0AAlRp0.jpg exploitable]].[[/labelnote]]
* '''Sieg'''
** Welfare Sieg[[labelnote:Explanation]]A lot of players theorized (and were correct) that Sieg would be given out as the welfare Servant of the ''Apocrypha'' event. Given his very divisive nature among fans, it become commonplace to joke about burning him for some Rare Prisms even though welfare 4* didn't yield any Rare Prisms at the time. Though it eventually got turned around, as [[RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap the Inheritance of Glory actually makes Sieg acceptable and likable]], so people changed their mind about burning him.[[/labelnote]]
* '''Siegfried'''
** Sumanai. [[labelnote: Explanation]]Siegfried's LowTierLetdown status was pretty much legendary and not only [[FanNickname is the phrase used to describe him]], it's also used as a way to 'spook' people who drew 4-5 star Sabers only for them to be revealed to be Siegfried. The Interlude buff, while not enough to make him a decent standalone Saber, actually made him at least servicable or showing combo potential with other Servants (his combo with Georgios can be extremely lethal even on non-dragon enemies). But [[NeverLiveItDown people have a hard time forgetting his sucky days]], so 'Sumanai' is still going to stick.[[/labelnote]]
** This is his catchphrase because of his guilt to his wife.[[labelnote:Explanation]]When Kriemhild joined the game and acts like a yandere towards him, fans now understand why he says "sumanai" a lot.[[/labelnote]]
* '''Spartacus'''
** Spartacus, Savior of China [[labelnote:Explanation]]In Lostbelt 3, Spartacus defied gravity and went [[WesternAnimation/TheIronGiant Iron Giant]] on a meteor to save the civilian inhabitants of SIN.[[/labelnote]]
** Spartacus rebelling against the greatest oppressor of all: gravity. [[labelnote:Explanation]]The end of the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vDzbCBZ4U9c Lostbelt 3 trailer]] features a shot of Spartacus flying through the sky as the song in the background swells heroically.[[/labelnote]]
*** "Superman..." and "You stay. I go." [[labelnote:Explanation]]Once the chapter came out and context was revealed - Spartacus flies toward a meteor so he can repel it in a HeroicSacrifice - many allusions were made to the climax of ''WesternAnimation/TheIronGiant''.[[/labelnote]]
* '''Stheno'''
** Stheno the Useless Goddess [[labelnote:Explanation]]Usually Medusa is the Gorgon Sister that gets ridiculed and bullied in-universe by being called 'useless' or sorts. However, in gameplay, while both Medusa and Gorgon range from decent to very useful, and Euryale is very useful, Stheno... is a LowTierLetdown, so she's the one being labelled as 'useless goddess' in the players' eyes. While her strengthening quests have made her usable, the meme remains, especially when her facial expression is a super smug one like trolling that she just spooked you out of any dream Assassins you have been gunning for.[[/labelnote]]
* '''Takasugi Shinsaku'''
** [=AI Takasugi=] [[labelnote:Explanation]] During the CBC 2023 event players were introduced to an AI version of Takasugi Shinsaku in the event shop, some players decided to ship treat said AI as a whole characters and even shipped with the other characters such as the protagonist.[[/labelnote]]
* '''Tamamo-no-Mae'''
** Tamago-no-mae [[labelnote:Explanation '''(SPOILERS)''']] Tamago is Japanese for "egg." Using a machine translation of Tamamo-no-Mae results in "Before the Tamago". The ending of Tungska Sanctuary has Koyanskaya sealed inside a CosmicEgg. Because of these, it didn't take long for puns relating to Tamago being released.[[/labelnote]]
** RIP Tamamo / The future is now old hag.[[labelnote:Explanation]]Due to the release of Altria Caster who's now the new premier of Arts support team, many fans began to joke that Tamamo No Mae is either no longer serve its purpose or still be useful as Chen Gongs ammo. It's even made it more hilarious when her alternate counterpart Koyanskaya was released where Gamepress placed her along Caster Altria on EX Tier list while Tamamo being demoted to A+ Tier [[https://gamepress.gg/grandorder/servant-tier-list as seen here.]][[/labelnote]]
* '''Tezcatlipoca'''
** Tezcatlipoca's terrible aim.[[labelnote:Explanation]]His attack animations for his first ascension reveal that he cannot aim ''at all'' when using guns and misses his target all the time, which promptly became the most discussed trait of his to talk about just how bad he is at using guns and extending that trait to literally anything that requires aiming. He also hates people bringing it up, no matter how obvious it is, for the same reason he hates having his general inadequacy as a sun mentioned, so violence on the speaker is sometimes a factor.[[/labelnote]]
** WOOOOOOOOOOOOOO[[labelnote:Explanation]]In his later Ascensions, many of Tezcatlipoca's battle voicelines are ''very'' spirited and jovial whoops and yells, even when ''damaged''. Most frequent and memorable is his battle cry of "WOOOOOOOOOOOOOO", which has proven ''very'' popular among players, with videos or streams containing Tezcatlipoca usually flooded with commenters spamming "WOOOOOOOO" in solidarity. Some amused players have made comparisons to Youtuber [[LetsPlay/{{Critikal}} MoistCr1TiKaL]], known for his own iconic "WOOOOOO!" from one of his videos, or to wrestler Wrestling/RicFlair, who also has "WOOOOOO!" as a catch phrase.[[/labelnote]]
* '''Tiamat'''
** Mom vs. Mom [[labelnote:Explanation (Possible Spoilers)]] With Tiamat finally able to be summoned, people immediately joked about her being a SitcomArchNemesis to Chaldea's other resident mother Raikou, often involving the two competing over who gets to be Ritsuka's mother. [[/labelnote]]
* '''Tristan'''
** Tristan in Extra (CCC). [[labelnote: Explanation]]He's the only bonus Servant for the event without any apparent connection with CCC. Cue confused reactions from Japanese players. Tristan even trended on twitter on the day the CCC event details were announced![[/labelnote]]
** That's so sad. [[labelnote: Explanation]]Tristan's memetic CatchPhrase in Japan. Only became really meme-worthy elsewhere when the phrase "Tristan, play [[Music/LuisFonsi Despacito]]" was added onto it.[[/labelnote]]
* '''Tristan (Tam Lin)/Baobhan Sith'''
** Tam Lin Tristan is Elizabeth. [[labelnote:Explanation]]Many people believe that Tam Lin Tristan looks an awful lot like Elizabeth Báthory in this game.[[/labelnote]]
** Baobhan Sith's foot fetish.[[labelnote:Explanation]]The plot of the Mystic Eyes Symphony event revolves around Baobhan Sith having Chaldea collecting shoe pics of other servants. This has fans jokingly stating that Baobhan Sith has a foot fetish, especially since some of the servants don't have any shoes to begin with.[[/labelnote]]
* '''Ushiwakamaru'''
** [[AffectionateGestureToTheHead Headpatting]] Ushiwakamaru [[labelnote:Explanation]]Ushiwakamaru is... [[BadassAdorable adorable]]. And in her interlude, she asked the protagonist to pat her head in congratulation of her deeds. Hence, every player seems to have an urge to pat Ushiwakamaru's head all the time whenever she does something nice or cute.[[/labelnote]]
* '''Voyager'''
** Voyager's latter ascensions have him smile when using his NP, the Pale Blue Dot. Let's just say that the smile stuck among the fandom... And that is not mentioning the surge of NASA related jokes regarding him.
* '''Wu Zetian'''
** Wu Zetian is the real Grand Assassin.[[labelnote:Explanation]]In September 2021, [[https://www.reddit.com/r/grandorder/comments/polq2g/bilibilis_fgo_changes_wu_zetian_into_shadow_of/ admins over Mainland China server fixed Wu's Ascension Arts as the same as the gold Assassin art during summoning]], and her revealed true name remains the same (Assassin of Nightless City), while her voices and personal data are removed. Fans are joking that she's the real Grand Assassin since even King Hassan didn't receive such level of concealment.[[/labelnote]]
** Is Rider 231 really Berserker 049?[[labelnote:Explanation]]Following Wu, [[https://www.reddit.com/r/grandorder/comments/pp47um/fgo_china_has_decided_to_remove_some_servants/ most of the Chinese servants received the same treatment]], along with their names reduced to "Their Class name + their character ID" (until they received new official names later on), for example Red Hare becomes "Rider 231", and these also takes effect during in-story dialogues. Most of the dialogues in Lostbelt 3 becomes hilariously incomprehensible as a result, and fans (within and outside China) use the same formula to speak about other servants, either mocking such changes or playing along as a meme.[[/labelnote]]
* '''Yagyu Tajima-no-kami Munenori'''
** Sitting EX [[labelnote: Explanation]]Yagyu Munenori's skill animation involves him kneeling, then getting up again. Because of his good skillset for burst damage, many have called his animation "Sitting EX" [[/labelnote]]
* '''Yu Meiren'''
** Early Yu [[labelnote:Explanation]]The requirement for the 2020 Summer Event, "Chaldea Thriller Night", was simply that it could be done as soon as you finished Fuyuki, ie the prologue chapter. Many fans had fun with how Summer Yu's presence would be rather glaring, given that storywise at that time she was part of Team A who were all in comas in cryogenic suspension (At least one Japanese fan-comic took it a step further, taking advantage of the Throne being outside time to have her summoned by Team A).[[/labelnote]]
* '''Zhang Jue'''
** [[VideoGame/DynastyWarriors HEAVEEEENNNSS!!]][[labelnote:Explanation]]Zhang Jue took the title of 'General of Heaven' in the original source, so he does speak a lot about heavens. His incarnation in ''VideoGame/DynastyWarriors'' took this to absurd levels of FountainOfMemes that it ''leaked'' to Zhang Jue over here, so you can expect many of the old {{Narm}}tastic yellings of him and the Yellow Turban characters in particularly the third game to apply to him. Take your pick from the likes of "Zhang Jue does not believe in magic." or "Zhang Jue wants you to feel the power of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XF-MDuXXiSI MAJEEEEEKKK!!]]" or calling his opponents [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AeSMpetv34M "flaming idiots."]][[/labelnote]]
** HOLY SHIT FUCKING CRAZY [[labelnote:Explanation]]Same vein with the Cursery Rhyme meme, but applied to Abigail's 3rd Anniversary CE. The 3rd Anniversary album has a comment from Abby about her gangsta-style casual outfit in which she says "Ho** ***t fu***ng crazy".[[/labelnote]]
** With ''VideoGame/TheLastOfUsPartII'' getting a lot of media coverage and controversies, the FGO fandom applies a lot of memes involving Abby onto Abigail Williams, who is usually called 'Abby' for short (except one certain very obviously NSFW meme since it's improper for someone of Abigail's age). Memes include portraying her as being muscular, choking someone or placing her hair on the very muscular Heracles (Bonus: Replacing Heracles' normal club with a golf club).
** Summer Abigail dropped several of these with her reveal, particularly with her NP.
*** Abigail opens the door to Franchise/KingdomHearts[=/=][[Manga/FullMetalAlchemist the Gate of Truth]][=/=][[PaedoHunt the FBI]]. [[labelnote:Explanation]]Since Abigail's skill animations and NP involve opening eldritch doors, with the latter dealing damage with a burst of light from within, it's common to joke that it's one of the above doors (or in the latter case, the police coming to arrest the "degenerate" players).[[/labelnote]]
*** Revenge of the Doors.[[labelnote:Explanation]]Since doors are so prominent, particularly in Abby's NP, the joke is that all the Doors a player has farmed for materials in the game are getting their revenge.[[/labelnote]]
*** What is the cat's name?[[labelnote:Explanation]]At the end of Salem, Carter and Abigail bring a black cat along on their journey. Whenever the cat comes up, expect people asking about the cat's name due to [[NWordPrivileges what Lovecraft's own cat was called]]. The meme mainly picked up traction once summer Abigail appeared with the cat; however, her profile reveals its actual name is "Nosh".[[/labelnote]]
* '''Achilles'''
** The Promised Day [[labelnote:Explanation]]Achilles' debut was met with fanart of him encountering Penthesilea, who hates him to no end.[[/labelnote]]
* '''Altera'''
** [[https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CU_PkCAUEAAb6qZ.jpg X is good civilization.]] [[https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CU_PkCKVEAAM-IG.jpg Y is bad civilization]]. [[labelnote:Explanation]]Attila wishes to destroy all civilization except for dango after eating some during the first Mid-Autumn event, declaring it to be good civilization, and then there's [[https://fate-go.us/manga_fgo2/comic23.html this comic]] about [[WebComic/LearningWithMangaFGO gacha being bad civilization]] that made it hilarious. Eventually, 'Good/Bad Civilization' became the fandom go-to phrase for declaring 'Desirable' or 'Undesirable' things. The joke also extends beyond FGO, popping up in Extella's Ending.[[/labelnote]]
** Wiggling Altera[[labelnote:Explanation]]The animated adaptation of ''Webcomic/LearningWithMangaFGO'' featured a ''very'' memeable dancing Altera. This meme was popularized by Riyo, but was started by the Chaldea Radio Station, specifically Tanaka Minami doing a dancing ritual before successfully rolling for Cu Alter; even the comic showing Altera dancing said "the seiyuu said it worked, so I'm doing it".[[/labelnote]]
* '''Altria Pendragon (Caster)'''
** The toes are sus.[[labelnote:Explanation (LB6 spoilers)]]When it was announced at the 8th anniversary that Altria Caster would be getting an SSR swimsuit variant for the next Summer event, people began noticing that Fairy Altria (as the staff called her now that she was no longer a Caster) had ten toes, whereas Altria Caster was noted in Lostbelt 6 to have lost several toes to frostbite as a child. This immediately led to suspicions that Fairy Altria was a Pretender whose true identity was Aesc/Morgan. HilariousInHindsight as Aesc ends up getting released 24 hours after the announcement of Fairy Altria. [[/labelnote]]
* '''Altria Pendragon (Lily)'''
** Saber Lily's crotch blasting Noble Phantasm. [[labelnote:Explanation]]Her animation for Caliburn targets the enemy's crotch.[[/labelnote]]
* '''Amor/Caren Hortensia'''
** Caren getting cash from the gacha rolls[[labelnote:Explanation]]After Caren Hortensia was announced in Fate Grand Order, many memes involving Caren's skit in ''Anime/CarnivalPhantasm'' that has her attempting to get money have been made in regards to the gacha rolls. [[/labelnote]]
* '''Anastasia Nikolaevna Romanova'''
** CameraFiend Anastasia [[labelnote:Explanation]]Based on how Anastasia's last moments in life were basically being the one personally taking photos of herself and her sister, Anastasia is often made to be a CameraFiend who likes to take selfies or photos of others with more modern cameras compared to the ones in her time. Often to tease Kadoc.[[/labelnote]]
** Anastasia under kotatsu [[labelnote:Explanation]]The playable Anastasia has one My Room line if the player has the resident LazyBum Osakabe-hime, asking the protagonist if she can take Osakabe-hime's kotatsu for herself. This leads some fanartists to depict her under a kotatsu, sometimes turning into a LazyBum herself.[[/labelnote]]
** Anastasia the CYKA BLYAT princess[[labelnote:Explanation]]The Christmas 2018 and New Year 2019 events had the resident Russian princess Anastasia do comically badass yet un-ProperLady-like things (lifting Ivan the Terrible on her shoulders and mercilessly throwing gemstones at monkeys respectively), a stark contrast to her first appearance in the Lostbelt prologue and Lostbelt No.1. And to further on this meme, her incarnation in ''Webcomic/LearningWithMangaFGO'' is seen during its volume 2 promotion [[https://youtu.be/8OA3ewTzE_4?t=3 punching the hell out of the male protagonist in the face aggressively.]][[/labelnote]]
** Strength E(X)[[labelnote:Explanation]]Similar on the above considering her Strength stats.[[/labelnote]]
** [[PrecisionFStrike GODDAMN HOT!!]][[labelnote:Explanation]]The above meme on Christmas/New Year has its 'origins' actually from the Japanese 2018 Summer Event, where Anastasia made a cameo solely to say that line ([[GratuitousEnglish in English!]]) because she's wearing too much for a really hot event. And then it evolved into the above meme, due to how Anastasia was seen to be acting not very serene or ladylike unlike her previous showing as a BrokenBird IceQueen. Or the go-to phrase of any cases of Anastasia undressing some of her clothes herself to cool off or wearing fanservice/swimsuit outfits, looking 'hot'/attractive. It's inverted in "Saber Wars II" when she complains that it's GODDAMN COLD and [[AscendedMeme ascended]] in the promotional image of the 3rd Anniversary of the game's global version, where [[https://imgur.com/2LhH2OH Anastasia held a fan with the text 'GD HOT' written on it.]] And when Anastasia got her own Summer variant, her fans turned towards this quote once again.[[/labelnote]]
* '''Angra Mainyu'''
** Angra Mainyu. [[labelnote:Explanation]]This loved, ultimate JokeCharacter was secretly added to the Friend Point gacha during Fate/Accel Zero Order, resulting in almost all players trying to roll him, and was jokingly suspected to be the reason for lots and lots of server lag and a record five maintenances for the game. And to rub salt in the wound, it's possible that his roll rate is even smaller then any of the SSR Servants' roll rate. All the Evils of the World indeed.[[/labelnote]]
* '''Anne Bonny & Mary Read'''
** Mary's reaction in the "Chaldea Summer" CM to the ball going her way first being a smile as she tries to hit it and then surprise as it gets too close and hits her in the face became an ImageMacro for players' disappointment in the game.
* '''Arash'''
** '''[[SayMyName STELLAAA!!!]]'''[[labelnote:Explanation]]Arash's Noble Phantasm is the rather common name or word 'Stella'. This often gets a mention with [[Theatre/AStreetcarNamedDesire any time there's a character named Stella]]. Bonus points if [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamSEEDDestiny they die]], just like Arash after using said Noble Phantasm. Music/ManWithAMission also has [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AiehyJNDOoY a song named "Stella"]] ([[https://imgur.com/a/cdas7 and yes, the fan artists have not left this unnoticed]])[[/labelnote]]
** "I can't believe they nerfed Arash" [[labelnote:Explanation]] Arash was widely praised for his utility in farming, being able to sacrifice himself with his NP, which had a very fast animation. However, during the Camelot Movie Pre-Release Campaign, he was granted an animation update, which ended up making his NP animation '''''longer''''', leading to this joking complaint from the fanbase. Actually [[SubvertedTrope Subverted]], as the new animation skips his death, resulting in using his NP [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qmn2h8BNnRg surprisingly taking 1 to 2 seconds less than before on certain settings.]] [[/labelnote]]
* '''Arjuna Alter'''
** "...For I am...a god..."[[labelnote:Explanation]]The one screenshot of Lostbelt Berserker's dialogue took off as the one bit of dialogue and character in almost two years to latch onto, with both his [[https://twitter.com/pakosun/status/1135847674274410496 artist]] and his [[https://twitter.com/nobunaga_s/status/1135843597549330433 voice actor]] joking about it.[[/labelnote]]
** "[[SayMyName KARNAAAAAAAAAA!]]" [[labelnote:Explanation]]One of Arjuna Alter's battle lines unique to the aforementioned final battle, and a general indicator of their sibling enmity. He sometimes says it even when he isn't attacking the player's mandatory Super Karna support, leading to the joke that he likes to yell Karna's name apropos of nothing.[[/labelnote]]
** Arjuna Alter the catboy[[labelnote:Explanation]]In his [=3rd=] Ascension Art, his horns shrink down to about the size of cat ears, and his artist pako has gone on record saying he had a space cat in mind when drawing Arjuna Alter. Add in the tail and the result is the entire fandom drawing Arjuna Alter acting like a cat.[[/labelnote]]
* '''Asagami Fujino'''
** Fujino the Bridge Bender [[labelnote:Explanation]]Fujino's Noble Phantasm animation makes reference to her fight in ''Kara no Kyoukai'' where she uses the Mystic Eyes of Distortion to tear the bridge she and Shiki were on in half. However, many people tend to imagine that she just ''manifests a bridge out of nowhere'' just to break it in half, thus leading to many jokes about her and bridges. Fujino's case is further hilarious for the "Archer class is really made up of archers" memes due to her being an Archer despite using PsychicPowers which would be more suited to the Caster Class.[[/labelnote]]
* '''Ashiya Douman'''
** Japanese fanartists like drawing Ashiya Douman as a cat, given how easy it is to compare him to one. The meme has become more and more {{Ascended|Meme}}, with Koyanskaya of Darkness saying that she doesn't like "all felines (AKA Douman) and him being listed as having cat characteristics in the Learning with Manga collab Challenge Quest.
** Douman's Time-Out Jar[[labelnote:explanation]]The Summer 2021 and 2022 events end with Ashiya Douman, who caused them to happen in the first place, stuffed in a jar as punishment, leading to numerous fanart of Douman in said jar. The 2022 event later reveals that said jar, which got reused, was from Abe no Seimei, and that he has 3 other "punishment items" made specifically to keep Douman in check he can lend to Murasaki Shikibu, which caused many a "Seimei is into [=BDSM=]" joke. But the joke is mostly used in scenarios where Douman is up to no good.[[/labelnote]]
* '''Astolfo'''
** Astolfo the haunted plush [[labelnote: Explanation]](Probably) created by [[https://myfigurecollection.net/profile/dokidoki dokodoki]], a stock photo of the Potekoro Mascot Astolfo plush serves as a template for homosexual-themed memes while being a cursed doll at the same time. This was actually started by this picture proclaiming to sell [[http://knowyourmeme.com/photos/1343031-fate-type-moon a haunted Altria plush]], which started a trend to do the same to other merchandise of characters.[[/labelnote]]
** Astolfo's Monster Cock[[labelnote:Explanation (VERY NSFW!)]]In Febuary of 2021, an Astolfo cosplayer posted a collection of photos [[BiggerIsBetterInBed comparing the size of his penis to a can of Monster Energy Drink]] on Website/{{Twitter}}, and the sheer number of people commenting on this caused "Astolfo" to reach the Trending page. Memes were made poking fun at the absurdity of the whole situation, [[https://twitter.com/mewvore/status/1360480172504469505?s=21 such as wondering]] what the poor guy who writes the descriptions for trending topics must be going through, and freaking out as Creator/FayeMata (a.k.a. Astolfo's VA in the ''Literature/FateApocrypha'' English Dub) [[https://twitter.com/FayeMata/status/1360516342235885569 posted a tweet]] commemorating the occasion, not realizing ''why'' he was trending until afterwards. And as a result, Astolfo became somehow associated with the Monster Energy Drink in many fanworks, in a similar vein of ''Franchise/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica'' and [[Memes/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica Morning Rescue Energy Drink]][[/labelnote]]
* '''Avicebron'''
** Avicebron's single finger pointing upwards was found to be hilarious [[https://twitter.com/2peropepero/status/981520424809844736 and]] [[https://twitter.com/ame_neko22/status/981834898456698881 quite]] [[https://twitter.com/fate_hibiki/status/981831696701009925 exploitable.]]
* '''Bartholomew Roberts'''
** Protect your husbandos and waifus from Bart [[labelnote:Explanation]]Because Bartholomew Roberts likes people with bangs, this led to jokes about the protagonist protecting Mash and other Servants (e.g. Fuuma Kotaro) from him due to having this hairstyle. Moriarty and Kadoc join in to protect Fran and Anastasia respectively from him.[[/labelnote]]
** Bart reacting to GUDA GUDA 6 [[labelnote:Explanation]]The event featured several new characters with bangs, causing a fan art trend of Bart getting excited by them and/or upset when the new males were [[WordOfGod confirmed to be unplayable]].[[/labelnote]]
* '''Beni-enma'''
** Beni-enma = Creator/GordonRamsay [[labelnote:Explanation]]Beni-enma's [[{{Pun}} roasting]] of her fellow Servants' cooking skills is very similar to how Gordon Ramsay does it in ''Series/HellsKitchen'', and fans were quick [[https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/fategrandorder/images/4/49/1546341277490.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20190101145324 to make the connection.]]. Bonus points for Beni-enma literally coming from Hell.[[/labelnote]]
*** It's fucking RAW!!... dechi [[labelnote:Explanation]]Gordon's memetic line combined with Beni-enma's VerbalTic.[[/labelnote]]
* '''Boudica'''
** Boudica the unofficial Roman.[[labelnote:Explanation]]Romulus-Quirinus can inflict a debuff that gives his targets the trait 'Roman'. Boudica, who by default ''hates'' Romans, has the ability to inflict extra damage against enemies with the 'Roman' trait (similar to the Georgios-Siegfried combo with Dragons instead). The synergy can actually work both ways, as Boudica's third rank-up quest lets her share her anti-Roman bonus with her allies, and Romulus-Quirinus also deals bonus damage against enemies with the Roman trait. The meme goes that [[TeethClenchedTeamwork Boudica is exasperated that she has to help the originator of the people she hated in order to be even useful]], whereas Romulus-Quirinus chills out and even considers her Roman. Became an AscendedMeme in Romulus-Quirinus's interlude, where the two get put together on a mission and Boudica ends up picking a fight with Romulus-Quirinus.[[/labelnote]]
* '''Brynhild'''
** [[FanPreferredCouple OTP of Brynhild and Jeanne Alter]][[labelnote:Explanation]]Jeanne Alter is a super popular Servant and powerful to boot, and Brynhild complements with her very well... and especially, during Jalter's debut event (Da Vinci and the 7 Heroic Spirit Counterfeits), Brynhild was featured as Jalter's masochistic lesbian girlfriend. So why did this become memetic, not just a mere FanPreferredCouple example? Let's take note: Jalter was not included in Brynhild's Beloved list, and the event made it clear that it's not the real Brynhild, just a flawed counterfeit. And yet the hilarity of the event, Jalter's excellence in making 'disgusted face' (of which the event provided many), her own popularity and how well Bryn complements her in gameplay made fans go beyond that and treat it like the fake Brynhild was actually the real Brynhild, so you'll rarely see a fanart of Brynhild not lusting over her "Onee-sama" Jalter because of that. Sigurd's arrival in Lostbelt #2 changed things up a bit, however, as his determination and devotion in the face of Brynhild's murderous love, combined with his earnestness, won a number of fans over to Sigurd/Bryn.[[/labelnote]]
** Sigurd and Brynhild's Guts Relationship[[labelnote:Explanation]]Brynhild is cursed to always kill Sigurd when she meets him. Sigurd's My Room dialogue saying he would be okay with her killing him, and his second skill granting him the Guts ability, has lead to a fan workaround of the curse. She ''does'' kill him every time they meet, but Guts brings him back with 1 HP, and her curse is alleviated for a time.[[/labelnote]] Confirmed in Chaldea Thriller Night. In fact, they both enjoy it immensely.
** [[WebComic/LearningWithMangaFGO Riyo]] Brynhild [[labelnote:Explanation]]Bryn herself has never appeared in the ''Learning With Manga!'' webcomic, but there is an edit of several of Mash's renditions in the comic, especially [[https://fate-go.us/manga_fgo/comic10.html this one]], so it's like [[https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/f8654676-2f00-4003-a13e-176b433bf695 Bryn]] [[https://i.redd.it/8vqm2sgfuj7y.png was]] [[https://66.media.tumblr.com/25e3efc94ddc555c267cdaa42d7d1690/tumblr_o1z1ejhjsW1ssg673o2_500.png doing it.]] One of these even became an icon in this game's Wikia page to represent Limited Servant pages ([[https://fategrandorder.fandom.com/wiki/Brynhildr Like so]]), but Riyo really hasn't added Brynhild in the comics, it's just [[https://i.pinimg.com/originals/c6/fd/ab/c6fdab68c92ee3d2573dce13b4da85ee.jpg a series of edits]] that ended up treated like it's an official thing. It's more or less an AscendedMeme during the last Nero Festival where Brynhild posed as Mash and caused trouble.[[/labelnote]]
* '''Chacha'''
** Chacha Out of Nowhere [[labelnote:Explanation]]The ''GUDAGUDA Meiji Ishin'' event where Chacha is the banner and reward Servant had a surprise re-run and came unannounced a few days after the conclusion of ''Murder at the Kogetsukan'' mystery event. This unexpected event caught many players off-guard. It was the same for NA, where the ''GUDAGUDA Meiji Ishin'' Event Rerun came with barely a few hours notice in place of the ''Murder at the Kogetsukan' Event, catching even JP players expecting the Murder Mystery to come first off guard.[[/labelnote]]
* '''Charles Babbage'''
** Heian Babbage[[labelnote:Explanation]]The trailer for "Mandala of Hell" has Babbage make a very noted appearance in both versions, which makes him very out of place amongst all the period-appropriate Servants and resulted in multiple jokes about why he'd be in Heian-era Japan.[[/labelnote]]
* '''Charlotte Corday'''
** Circumsion NP[[labelnote:Explanation]]Following the example of Saber Lily's crotch blasting NP, Charlotte's NP is often likened to a circumsion (As in, cutting off one's dick). This can be applied to some seriously big Rider Servants. For example, Ivan the Terrible.[[/labelnote]]
** THE ONLY SUCCESSFUL ASSASSIN IN FATE HISTORY [[labelnote:Explanation]]Since most Assassin class servants in the franchise are either unable to actually sneakily kill anyone since that would produce a narratively unsatisfying ending or prove to be Assassins InNameOnly, many jokes have been made about the fact that Charlotte is possibly the first one to actually catch a target off guard and assassinate them.[[/labelnote]]
* '''Chen Gong'''
** Chen Gong is the ''real'' 4th Anniversary Servant. [[labelnote:Explanation]]Variation of the "Seven Bronzes are the real 4th Anniversary Servants" meme, as players discovered Chen Gong's kit is [[GameBreaker pretty ridiculous]] and stands out in its own way from the game's gigantic roster but he's ''practically free''.[[/labelnote]]
** It's a necessary sacrifice [[labelnote:Explanation]]Chen Gong's Noble Phantasm sacrifices a fellow Servant, which led to many jokes of him being a TeamKiller. His usual targets include any SupportPartyMember, particularly Waver/Zhuge Liang. It's even more hilarious that Chen Gong's My Room dialogue reveals he dislikes Zhuge Liang because of the Stone Sentinel Maze, which he considers not a real strategem. Became more or less an AscendedMeme in the ''Fate/Requiem'' collab event when Chen Gong remarks about having a necessary sacrifice while looking at Moriarty, to the latter's chagrin.[[/labelnote]]
** What an expensive arrow [[labelnote:Explanation]]Due to Chen Gong's Noble Phantasm special ability of killing an allied servant per use, a common strategy is for a high level support servant like the aforementioned Waver, Tamamo, Merlin, Skadi, Reines, Altria, Anderson, Oberon, and Koyanskaya to use their skills/buffs and then Chen Gong to kill them to bring a fresh support to start the cycle over. Thus fans joke that each support is nothing more than arrows for Chen Gong's Noble Phantasm.[[/labelnote]]
** [[TheDreaded Dreaded]] Chen Gong/"New Support Servant? [[ScaryShinyGlasses Welcome...]]" [[labelnote:Explanation]]Everytime a major Support Caster/Servant got introduced, the fans are more likely to think/make arts portraying Chen Gong being the guy that welcomes them to the team and is pleased (while also flashing his ScaryShinyGlasses), knowing that it'll do good for his 'expensive arrow', while the new Servant, no matter how high their rarity or their canonical godlike power, is basically [[ThisIsGonnaSuck crapping on their pants imagining the horrors they will go through with]] [[TheDreaded Chen Gong]], [[AlmightyJanitor just another 2 Star Servant]][[/labelnote]]
** Chen Gong hates X. [[labelnote:Explanation]]There are several servants that can prevent being sacrificed from Chen Gong'a NP such as Arash and Nobukatsu since their [=NPs=] already providing Instant Kills to themselves, Miss Crane since her Noble Phantasm can just have her move to the backline, and Oberon since he has a skill that prevents somebody from being sacrificed. Because of that, many jokes have been about Chen Gong hating these servants.[[/labelnote]]
* '''Chiron'''
** Pantless Chiron [[labelnote:Explanation]]Chiron goes full centaur in his final Ascensions, making him technically pantless. Fans wondered and poked fun at this, wondering if Chiron is fine having his private parts exposed to everyone when he is in this form.[[/labelnote]]
* '''Constantine XI'''
** Live Constantine Reaction[[labelnote:Explanation]]Constantine was [[https://news.fate-go.jp/2022/traum/ the face of announcing Lostbelt 6.5]] and his "blank face / screaming inside" expression caused many to compare to the "Live Slug Reaction" meme from {{Memes/The Rise Of Skywalker}}[[/labelnote]]
* '''The Count of Monte Cristo/Edmond Dantes'''
** Super High School Level Heroic Spirits. [[labelnote: Explanation:]] Edmond Dantes was revealed to be drawn by ''Franchise/{{Danganronpa}}'''s main artist Rui Komatsuzaki, sporting a design that bore an eerie resemblance to [[VisualNovel/Danganronpa2GoodbyeDespair Nagito Komaeda]]. Many fans ended up wondering what Komaeda was doing in a ''Fate'' series, to which Nasu himself [[http://forums.nrvnqsr.com/showthread.php/5875-The-BAMBOO-BROOM-DIARY-%28Nasu-and-Takeuchi-blog%29?p=2290630&viewfull=1#post2290630 responded]]: "Were you expecting a mere [[Anime/{{Gankutsuou}} Cavern King]]? Too bad! He was a Super High School-tier Heroic Spirit instead!" When Komatsuzaki was called upon again to draw Cleopatra, fans started drawing the pair participating in a Chaldea Killing Game. [[/labelnote]]
** Wait, and hope. [[labelnote:Explanation]]This quote from Edmond Dantes is always used whenever discussing rolls and future events/Servants. Dantes' VA (Nobunaga Shimazaki) posted a tweet of his NP 5 Dantes with the caption "Roll, and hope", spreading the meme further.[[/labelnote]]
* '''Cu Chulainn'''
** [[MesACrowd The Cu Chu train]]. [[labelnote:Explanation]]A team in Grand Order using only Cu Chulainn in various forms, as he has four separate and very popular summonable versions.[[/labelnote]]
* '''Darius III'''
** Darius, 3 years old/Age 3 [[labelnote:Explanation]]Darius III was referred to as a 3 year old during the first Christmas event (Little Darius, Age 3). Combined with how he's rendered as a ScreamingWarrior, fans started to portray him as more or less a 3 year old mentality-wise behind all that screaming.[[/labelnote]]
* '''David'''
** David is a shitty parent. [[labelnote:Explanation]][[spoiler:After the revelation of Solomon being in control of the Ars Goetia demons the protagonist had fought so far, these kinds of jokes were quick to surface about how Solomon's aim to doom the future spawned from David being a bad parent. Even TheReveal that it wasn't the real Solomon but the demons themselves controlling his corpse and the real one is actually very much a NiceGuy still didn't stop the jokes from coming.]][[/labelnote]]
* '''Dioscuri'''
** STAY AWAY FROM MY SISTER, NINGEN![[labelnote:Explanation]]Castor's personality is summed up as a siscon who really, really hates humans, which fans have concluded wouldn't mix well with the protagonist's Harem Protagonist EX.[[/labelnote]]
** [[Memes/FireEmblemHeroes Disgusting]][[labelnote:Explanation]]Castor being a siscon to his twin sister and said sister trying to reel his siscon attitude from going out of control drew similarities with [[VideoGame/FireEmblemTheSacredStones Ephraim and Eirika]], so Castor sometimes ended up saying Ephraim's memetic "Disgusting" line in terms of their sibling bond (and Pollux facepalms like Eirika).[[/labelnote]]
* '''Draco'''
** Devil Trigger / Maou Nero[[labelnote:Explanation (spoilers)]] At the conclusion of the Arcade collaboration event, Beast Draco unlocks her third and final ascension, in which SheIsAllGrownUp, covered in black armor with a crimson cape, has horns and other draconic features akin to Siegfried, and an ''even bigger'' FlamingSword (at least, one more exaggerated that the one she already had as a Saber). For any players familiar with ''VideoGame/DevilMayCry'', the jokes wrote themselves.[[/labelnote]]
** The ''Arcade'' collab is secretly a ''VideoGame/FateEXTRA'' collab.[[labelnote:Explanation (spoilers)]]After the finale of the ''Arcade'' collab revealed that Kishinami Hakuno, the main protagonist of the ''EXTRA'' games, ended up causing Fujimaru's contract to Draco and the Incarnadines just to save Draco, many fans end up stating that the ''Arcade'' collab was secretly a ''VideoGame/FateEXTRA'' collab.[[/labelnote]]
* '''Edward Teach/Blackbeard'''
** NORMIES EXPLODE!![[labelnote:Explanation]]While Blackbeard by himself is a FountainOfMemes, this one is the most profound. This is an expression used by many Otaku like Blackbeard himself to express jealousy over people who have stable relationships (or just someone who is NOT an Otaku), referred to as 'Normies'. It's also a very clever translation of the original Japanese word expressing disgust and envy at those in stable relationships, similar to the use of "normies" by certain online communities. Occasionally, the Japanese version is used: "RIAJUU BAKUHATSU SHIRO!!"[[/labelnote]]
* '''EMIYA'''
** Do You Love Your Mom And His Nine-Hit Multi-Target 'Buster' Noble Phantasm?[[labelnote:Explanation]][[[[Literature/DoYouLoveYourMomAndHerTwoHitMultiTargetAttacks The Raikou/Mamako meme]] quickly spread to fellow memetic TeamMom Emiya, though with his Strengthening in the 5th Anniversary, you can change the Buster word into Arts, because he gains the ability to change the type of his NP.[[/labelnote]]
** Ero Protag EX [[labelnote:Explanation]]A meme which turns the fan favorite Archer EMIYA into a memetic ChickMagnet due to being an AlternateSelf of Emiya Shirou, an actual eroge protagonist, having three female Masters (although two can be male depending on the player) across the ''Fate'' multiverse, and other incidents like Meltryllis' attraction to him as Nameless in ''VideoGame/FateExtra''. Has a layer of {{Irony}} however, as he is Shirou's future self who hypothetically did not end up with any of his heroines. Servant Summer Camp 2020 notches this up with the release of his casual outfit--and him being involved with the shenanigans of nearly every featured Swimsuit Servant just writes the jokes.[[/labelnote]]
** Armwrestling Emiya[[labelnote:Explanation]]When it comes to discussing Servants's parameters, one of recurring points of comparison is done with EMIYA [[MusclesAreMeaningless having only D in Strength]]. With someone like Abigail having B in Strength, many people joke about which Servants could win EMIYA in an arm-wrestling match.[[/labelnote]]
* '''Ereshkigal'''
** [[Literature/KonoSuba Eresh pads her chest!]][[labelnote:Explanation]]Ereshkigal is often shortened as 'Eresh' and it was a close enough pronounciation with Aqua's junior Goddess Eris whom she's very jealous of. In addition, Eris was a genuine ReasonableAuthorityFigure, whereas Ereshkigal came off as the more dutiful, down-to-earth sibling compared to Ishtar's much more sneaky personality. One of Axis Cult's well known mantras is ridiculing Eris and accusing her of chest-padding. Take all those above and the comparison between Ishtar and Aqua and you've got a bunch of Ereshkigal (and Ishtar) fans jokingly applying the quote on Ereshkigal.[[/labelnote]]
* '''Eric Bloodaxe'''
** "The king of the Vikings who wields a bloody axe. [[DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment This is Eric Bloodaxe, the Bloodaxe King.]]" [[labelnote:Explanation]]Eric "Bloodaxe" Haraldsson's profile in the NA version is mocked for its redundancy.[[/labelnote]]
** Who? [[labelnote: Explanation]]Aside of the above oft-mocked profile, Eric has the distinction as one of the most forgotten launch Servants (only a 1-Star Servant) to the point the fans forgot he existed in the game.[[/labelnote]]
* '''Erice Utsumi'''
** Erice is '''14''' [[labelnote:Explanation]]Both of Erice's summoning lines have her mention to the player that she's 14 years old. The fandom had a run with this and used it as an opportunity to make FBI and jailbait memes centering on her by continuously reminding everyone that she's ''only'' 14 and therefore, could land you in jail if you put her in a fanservice-y light.[[/labelnote]]
* '''Fionn Mac Cumhaill'''
** Fionn, you've changed. [[labelnote: Explanation]]Fionn's design in ''Grand Order'' is ''radically'' different to the one he had in ''Literature/FateZero'', which lead to a lot of jokes from confused fans who didn't get the reference to a legend that was fairly obscure outside of its native Ireland.[[/labelnote]]
** Fionn's [[VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsGaiden Hydro Pressure]][[labelnote:Explanation]]A much more respectable meme featuring Fionn after he was RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap; his Noble Phantasm (Mac an Luin) shooting out water jet draws comparison with [[VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsGaiden Tyutti Noorbuck and her mecha Gaddeath/Goddess]] (who does have a strong (though not ultimate) attack named Hydro Pressure, and it works the same as Fionn's NP). And even moreso because Fionn also shares long blonde hair and spear main weapon (and [[MakingASplash water manipulation]]) like Tyutti, and he's voiced by [[Creator/ShinichiroMiki someone who has done a more widespread SRW character (Ryusei Date)]], although in a more ironic sense, Tyutti possesses Norse Mythology theme-naming and there's already a lot of Norse Servants, yet the one linked with her is from Celtic Mythology.[[/labelnote]]
* '''Florence Nightingale'''
** "You are ill. I recommend suicide." [[labelnote:Explanation]]Nightingale's retort to Cu Alter's MotiveRant at the climax of America. It quickly gained traction for being a good sum up of Nightingale's character and an awesome one liner.[[/labelnote]]
* '''Galatea'''
** Galatea is the first ever waifu in the world[[labelnote:Explanation]]After she was announced, people came to look at Galatea's backstory, and immediately compared Pygmalion's desire to have Galatea be an actual living being instead of a statue to an Otaku wishing their waifu was real. As a result, Galatea has been called "the first ever waifu in the world". [[/labelnote]]
** Galatea's pants[[labelnote:Explanation]]Galatea's first ascension features her wearing a set of extremely baggy mecha pants that clashes heavily with her slender figure. Fans began editing the pants onto other Servants for laughs.[[/labelnote]]
* '''Gilgamesh'''
** ONORE ONORE ONORE ONORE!! [[labelnote: Explanation]]Gilgamesh's grunt of pain after something seriously painful (eg: a Noble Phantasm) is oft-quoted by many to curse at something that didn't go their way.[[/labelnote]]
** [[IfItsYouItsOkay It's not gay if it's clay]][[labelnote:Explanation]]Sometimes fans upgrade Gilgamesh and Enkidu's bromance to a full-on romance. It helps Enkidu's form is based on Shamhat, making him really, really bishonen-looking.[[/labelnote]]
** Gilgamesh loves Thanksgiving.[[labelnote:Explanation]]Fans have noticed that as of November 2020, Gilgamesh has received rate-ups for all four of the NA Thanksgiving Summoning Campaigns. Because of that, many jokes revolving around Gilgamesh and Thanksgiving were made.[[/labelnote]]
** Where's Gilgamesh? [[labelnote:Explanation]]Once it was revealed that who was on rate-up within the 5th NA Thanksgiving Summoning Campaign, many people were quick to point out Gilgamesh's absence for that summoning campaign.[[/labelnote]]
* '''Grigori Rasputin/Kirei Kotomine'''
** Rasputin Run [[labelnote:Explanation]]Sort of a successor of the Lancer Run meme from the first ''Heaven's Feel'' movie. While this meme had been made as early as Lostbelt No. 2, it eventually exploded during the new opening for the Lostbelt arc's second half, where it actually shows Kotomine running very fast. Even Creator/JojiNakata himself made fun of this by posting [[https://twitter.com/joujinakata123/status/1288630476744167424 a picture of himself in running pose on Twitter]] the next morning after the PV's release.[[/labelnote]]
** Kirei dancing to Music/BoneyM[[labelnote:Explanation]] While this was around since the reveal of Rasputin as a Pseudo-Servant in the body of Kirei Kotomine, the moment he was made playable a lot of jokes referencing the song was made, along with a few videos dedicated to animating Kirei in doing just that. Some have even used them as catalysts in summoning him, but results vary. Bonus points if someone connects Kirei to [[Series/DoctorWho the Master]] as played by Creator/SachaDhawan who also did this in ''[[Recap/DoctorWho2022CENThePowerOfTheDoctor The Power of the Doctor]]'' not long before Kirei's release.[[/labelnote]]
* '''Habetrot'''
** Habetrot's Windows XP [[labelnote:Explanation]] Habetrot's NP creates a background of a grassy meadow, which bears a strong resemblance to the default Windows XP home screen, which immediately caught the attention of many players.[[/labelnote]]
* '''Helena Blavatsky'''
** Drawings of Helena. [[labelnote:Explanation]] One chapter of ''Learn More With Manga! FGO'' has the protagonist commissioning Leonardo Da Vinci for a drawing of Helena Blavatsky under ''very'' strict (and suggestive) specifications, much to Da Vinci's chagrin. Since then, this has become a minor meme, and lots of players (along with some of the game's artists, including her character designer Matsuryuu) actually drew Helena under said specifications.[[/labelnote]]
* '''Hephaestion'''
** [[VideoGame/DevilMayCry5 Hephaestion is the storm that is approaching.]][[labelnote:Explanation]] Similar to Saitou Hajime's "Saitou May Cry" memes, Vergil-related memes are being applied to Hephaestion because her pose from her final ascension art involves her unsheathing her sword in a way that resembles Vergil's character render pose from ''Devil May Cry 5''. Bonus points for the lightning sparks coming out of her weapon.[[/labelnote]]
* '''Heracles'''
** Berserker can't be defeated -- he's the strongest man in the world! [[labelnote: Explanation]]This line comes from Illya in the UBW route of ''F/SN'' ("Basaka wa dare ni mo makenai -- sekai de ichiban tsuyoin dakara!") and is typically quoted whenever a player has Heracles thoroughly trash powerful bosses like Goetia by ''himself''. Demonstrated [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zCPEZoDaNsQ here.]][[/labelnote]]
* '''Hijikata Toshizo'''
** [[VideoGame/MetalGearRisingRevengeance Metal Gear]] Hijikata / The only thing I know for real...[[labelnote:Explanation]]As part of the 7th anniversary Craft Essences, Servants have alternate outfits themed after the Lostbelts. Hijikata wears one that immediately drew comparisons to Jetstream Sam.[[/labelnote]]
* '''Ibaraki Douji'''
** Banana Oni [[labelnote:Explanation]] Ibaraki-Douji started being called this since, thanks to her color scheme and the way her clothes are draped over her, she resembles a peeled banana. AscendedMeme as of the third Summer Event.[[/labelnote]] The NA translation of the Prisma Illya crossover event includes [[AscendedMeme addressing Ibaraki as "a fearsome banana oni"]], which she apparently finds flattering.
* '''Ishtar'''
** Ishtar the Useless Goddess [[labelnote:Explanation]] Already present in game due to a tablet that Gilgamesh makes her wear, her tendency to sabotage herself mixes in photoshops comparing her with [[Literature/KonoSuba Aqua]] who has a similar meme. The meme gets further elevated with the release of the 17th episode of [[Anime/FateGrandOrderAbsoluteDemonicFrontBabylonia Babylonia anime]], where people now have enough visual reference to compare Ishtar and Aqua (complete with the "I am a Useless Goddess" tablet), along with Ishtar crying pathetically.[[/labelnote]]
** Ishtar 720° kick[[labelnote:Explanation]]Ishtar does two full revolutions of spinning before kicking into a monster in the anime, which became popular for just how gratuitously over-the-top it seemed. People were disappointed when it was not added as an attack in her animation overhaul.[[/labelnote]]
** Ishtar's feet[[labelnote:Explanation]]Ishtar became a huge favorite in the anime foot fetish community (yes, that's a thing) due to her barefoot attire and attempt to seal the temporary contract with Ritsuka by asking him to kiss the top of her foot, so many other viewers started jokingly praising Ishtar's feet everytime she came up.[[/labelnote]]
** Ishtar's Third Ascension shoes[[labelnote:Explanation]]Ishtar's Third Ascension, among other things, gives her a pair of golden high-heeled shoes. The same people who praise Ishtar's feet tend to say the designer of her Third Ascension spoiled their fun and should have kept her barefoot.[[/labelnote]]
* '''Iskandar'''
** "I just don't like you for some reason. That's all."[[labelnote:Explanation]]This line is said by Iskandar during the Fate/Zero Accel Order event in response to El-Melloi II demanding to know why he's siding with Kariya and Lancelot over Chaldea, to which El-Melloi can only stare blankly in shock. It quickly became the idea for what Servants who refuse to be summoned by players would say, even if said players spend all their SQ for them and get nothing.[[/labelnote]]
* '''Ivan the Terrible'''
** How does he fit into a truck? [[labelnote:Explanation]]Ivan the Terrible is one of the biggest, tallest summonable Servants, whose debut is after the first Lostbelt... and by that point, Chaldea has been reduced into just one truck (Shadow Border). Therefore, fanarts tend to poke fun on how the massive Ivan has trouble fitting himself into the truck.[[/labelnote]]
** [[https://twitter.com/appmediafgo/status/1176084335830528000 Treating Ivan as the lamest Lostbelt King]] and noting how [[MyFriendsAndZoidberg he doesn't shape up]] compared to the other Kings.[[labelnote:Explanation]]Ivan is a versatile and powerful Servant, but he can't really stack up to his more specialized colleagues, between Skadi's game-breaking Quick buffs, Qin Shi Huang's almighty MightyGlacier gameplay, and Arjuna Alter obsoleting out almost every other Buster [=AoE=] Servant in the game in the field of murdering everything really fast. This really picked up after Battle of New York 2019 as players realized that between Qin Shi Huang tanking, Arjuna Alter's nukes, Skadi's still excellent support kit and even getting to use her NP for the Mephistopheles Exhibition Match, Ivan doesn't really have ''anything'' that lets him shine in this event like the others. Even worse is that while Morgan was initially perceived to be in a similar level to Ivan, the release of Koyanskaya of Light effectively made her a GameBreaker while the same can not be said for Ivan.[[/labelnote]]
** Missing Ivan Raids[[labelnote:Explanation]]During the NA run on Tunguska, fans expecting to run the Ivan raid found that his HP was already at 0 and the final battle node open, thanks to a bug where his HP fell to 0 just minutes after the last story content got released. Fans were quick to post how this was the fastest raid completion with the explanation being Ivan was dead when we got there or he ran away.[[/labelnote]]
* '''Jack the Ripper'''
** I've become a mom. [[labelnote:Explanation]]The reaction of many players after summoning Jack from the gacha. This is because Jack calls her master (or anyone that's nice to her), no matter what gender, as "mommy".[[/labelnote]]
* '''Jacques de Molay'''
** Outer God HRT[[labelnote:Explanation]]The playable Jacques de Molay in the mobile version of FGO is a female Foreigner. It's explained that the rumors surrounding the normally male Saber Molay worshipping Baphomet had twisted him into a female form, and is also implied to have connected her to Shub-Niggurath. The female Molay is also voiced by Creator/ShikiAoki, notable for being one of the openly transgender voice actors in the Japanese industry. Jokes were quickly made at how linking with an Outer God turns you into a woman.[[/labelnote]]
** "Nooooooooo! Don't turn me into a Marketable Plush!!!!!"[[labelnote:Explaination]]After Molay's attempt to summon her God (implied to be Shub-Niggurath) using the Protagonist goes awry, their body is possessed by said God while their soul is ejected and [[ForcedTransformation transformed]] into a [[RidiculouslyCuteCritter Ridiculously Cute]] PumpkinPerson the size of a plush toy. Cue this joke and many variations of it.[[/labelnote]]
* '''James Moriarty'''
** Frankie's "Daddy". [[labelnote: Explanation]]During the "Dead Heat Race" summer event, Fran manages to co-operate with Archer of Shinjuku (of all people) by calling him "papa". His response gave way to fanart of him fainting over the sight of Fran being cute.[[/labelnote]]
** Moriarty turns people evil. [[labelnote:Explanation]]Moriarty's upgraded second ability gives party members the "evil" trait for 3 turns; making them eligible for his attack up with his third skill. Fandom has made this a MirrorMoralityMachine.[[/labelnote]]
* '''Jeanne d'Arc'''
** RIP Swimsuit Jeanne[[labelnote:Explanation]]The Summer 2018 event was first teased with a swimsuit version of Jeanne, complete with an NP reveal. Excitement for her was initially high, and most players were expecting a ton of fanart to come out of her when the event released... then came the announcement of Swimsuit [[BreakoutVillain Jeanne]] ''[[BreakoutVillain Alter]]''. Cue jokes about Jalter stealing the spotlight from her normal counterpart. It helps that she's the event's welfare Servant (which means that she'll be readily available to anyone who plays the event, fulfilling a dream for lots of players who wanted Avenger Jalter), as opposed to Vanilla Jeanne being a limited 5*. Amusingly, the plot of the event involves Jalter trying to upstage her "sister" at a Comiket parody.[[/labelnote]]
** [[{{Brainwashing}} BIG SISTER BEAM!]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]During the Summer event where Hokusai battles the Seven Swimsuit Swordmasters, Summer Jeanne, alongside Summer Altria (Ruler), was the one who most captured the fanbase's imagination, as she controls a ThreateningShark and uses an attack called the "Big Sister Beam" to brainwash targets into thinking of her as their big sister. This, and the way it was countered by recruiting Raikou to counter her attack with a "Mother Laser", has led to parodies, where other characters try to use similar "beams" to alter others' perception, to various degrees of success and effect.[[/labelnote]]
* '''Jeanne d'Arc Alter'''
** TKAE THIS![[labelnote:Explanation]]A typo from Summer Jeanne Alter's 2021 Valentine's scene, from the English version. While ''Fate/Grand Order'' is no stranger to typos, they're usually easily overlooked unless one is paying attention. Here, however, the fact that Jeanne Alter shouts this line, resulting in large uppercase letters, makes it all but impossible to miss, not to mention that as a free event Welfare unit, a significant portion of the player base had the character and were able to see the typo for themselves. This resulted in a lot of fun being poked at the translation team.[[/labelnote]]
* '''Kama'''
** Gremlin/Nugget Kama [[labelnote:Explanation]]Kama's Riyo artwork is particularly memorably to many people due to her small proportions, her shit-eating grin and her just standing there. As such, many people like to call her a "gremlin" or "nugget" while possibly using the Riyo artwork.[[/labelnote]]
* '''Kiara Sesshoin'''
** Kiara the Punching Bag[[labelnote:Explanation]]A problem that some FGO content creators have is the lack of readily-repeatable, high-difficulty bosses, meaning that they will try to preserve as many notable bosses like the 1Mil HP dragon from Gilgamesh's third Interlude to be used as demonstration for Servant's capabilities. The battle against Kiara [[spoiler:(as Beast III/R)]] in the end of SE.RA.PH Main Interlude is the most notable of the bosses as her three health bars, [[spoiler:mostly neutral class advantage]], and her rematch Challenge Quest being repeatable means that she is the perfect candidate for any boss clear demonstrations.[[/labelnote]]
* '''Kijyo Kōyō'''
** While debuting in ''Literature/FateRequiem'', Kijyo Kōyō's T-rex form has spawned many ''Franchise/JurassicPark'' and/or ''Manga/JojosBizarreAdventureSteelBallRun'' related jokes and fanart with her debut here. Her dinosaur form is generally considered her ''most popular'' ascension form within the fandom.
* '''Kingprotea'''
** Kingprotea in My Room [[labelnote:Explanation]]Kingprotea is bar none the largest summonable Servant. This is basically the similar situation with Ivan with his size, taken up to eleven; Kingprotea's portrait in My Room has her sitting down just to barely fit in the screen.[[/labelnote]]
** Kingprotea headpats[[labelnote:Explanation]]Kingprotea's NP has her simply turn giant and press down on enemies with her hands. Cue the jokes about how dangerous her patting someone is or using her NP on enemies like 'Sword, or Death' Kiara, Tiamat, Demon Pillars and more.[[/labelnote]]
* '''Koyanskaya'''
** Koyanskaya trying to fit in.[[labelnote:Explanation]]Koyanskaya of Light is one of the best Buster supports in the game, rivaling with Merlin, so naturally, she is one of the most sought meta-defining Servant by the players. The problem is that story-wise, Koyanskaya didn't have the best first impression, being a [[TheSociopath sociopath]] that continuously taunted the player while a lot of times getting away from her crimes with a hobby of 'seeing humans suffer' (except that one time Qin Shi Huang managed to torture her), and one of her first actions is mercilessly stomping the depowered Fou. The meme take form of Koyanskaya having an even harder time to fit in, even compared to Ashiya Douman, and having to bribe the protagonist with her Buster Support credentials in order to fit in, with some characters just wanting her dead, and Fou being one step closer to treat her as a second [[ArchEnemy Merlin]].[[/labelnote]]
** [[VideoGame/MetalGearSolid Metal Gear Vitch]][[labelnote:Explanation]]Many fans have taken note of the attacks of Koyanskaya of Light make heavy use of modern weaponry including guns and in the case of her NP, her [[HumongousMecha NF-79 Tactical Suppression Vehicle]], which is very similar to [[VideoGame/MetalGearRisingRevengeance Metal Gear Excelsus]] aside from being pink. Add in the fact that her first ascension outfit is a SpyCatsuit not too disimilar to a female Solid Snake (albeit with a bit of added cleavage), and you can expect at least one comparison to ''Metal Gear'' to be made whenever she's brought up.[[/labelnote]]
* '''Kriemhild'''
** Kriemhild is Sieg's mom.[[labelnote:Explanation]]Since Kriemhild is Siegfield's wife, and with Siegfried being a father figure to Sieg as well as how Kriemhild end up developing harsh but maternal feelings for the homunculus in Kriemhild's My Room lines, many people started referring to Kriemhild as Sieg's mom. Most fanwork involves her lecturing Sieg ''before'' doing the same to Siegfried who comes to interfere.[[/labelnote]]
** Kaguya Alter[[labelnote:Explanation]]Kriemhild is voiced by Creator/AoiKoga, the VA for [[Manga/KaguyaSamaLoveIsWar Kaguya Shinomiya]], and with her crazed disposition and tsundere attitude towards her husband, jokes were made that Kaguya went insane after being rejected by Shirogane. Many moments from Manga/KaguyaSamaLoveIsWar are applied to Kriemhild, and by extension Siegfried and Sieg, such as when Shirogane fell asleep on Kaguya's shoulder, Ishigami being tied up and Kaguya holding him hostage and making a rather menacing statement about something that ends with "How cute." (especially about the meme below)[[/labelnote]]
** Kriemhild is annoyed by being surrounded by people with HeroicSuicide tendency.[[labelnote:Explanation]]Kriemhild's hate towards Siegfried comes from barring her knowing his SelfSacrificeScheme, thus her devotion for avenging him becomes totally pointless. Most fans agree that she acts like Sieg's mom (as above) is to prevent him from following his "father" (which obviously failed already)... while wondering how she'll treat his "partner" Jeanne (whose HeroicSuicide pushed Sieg to his HeroicSacrifice later on).[[/labelnote]]
* '''Kukulkan'''
** Waifu ORT[[labelnote:Explanation (Major Nahui Mictlān Spoilers!)]]ORT has often been joked about as a possible waifu long before the reveal that Kukulkan is ORT's heart given consciousness as a god. As a result, many people begin joking that Kukulkan is ORT as a waifu or that the ORT-chan is real.[[/labelnote]]
* '''Locusta'''
** Finally, a Kinoko Nasu servant [[labelnote:Explanation]]Due to Locusta implementing mushrooms as part of her design, many joke that she happens to be the AuthorAvatar of Kinoko Nasu himself, who has a MushroomMan as his mascot.[[/labelnote]]
* '''Mandricardo'''
** Mandricardo being anxious about his anniversary outfit.[[labelnote:Explanation]]The game's social media teased certain 7th Anniversary [=CEs=] by only showing their silhouette during the countdown to July 30th. The teaser commonly speculated to either be Holmes or Seimei was eventually revealed to be Mandricardo when the [=CEs=] were released with fans immediately pointing out how in-character it would be for Mandricardo to start getting anxiety over being mistaken for someone else and it spawned various jokes and fanart over the matter.[[/labelnote]]
* '''Marie Antoinette'''
** My homies/MLG Marie. [[labelnote:Explanation]]When one of Marie Antoinette's story responses was translated to [[TotallyRadical "Whassup, my homies?"]] players were quick to associate MLG memes with her.[[/labelnote]]
** Kirakira [[labelnote:Explanation]]Translated as 'Shining', this's a phrase by Marie (when using a Skill) that is often associated with her, and also combined with the above. Example: "Kirakira, my homies!"[[/labelnote]]
** Marie Antoinette is a [[Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventure JoJo]]! [[labelnote: Explanation]]Her name at birth was Marie Antonia Josepha Johanna, thus fulfilling the need for a ''Jo Jo'' protagonist to have the syllables in their name.[[/labelnote]]
* '''Mash Kyrielight'''
** Smile protected. [[labelnote:Explanation]]Building off the wider "don't you want to protect that smile?" meme that gained popularity with many anime fans, once Mash protects ''your'' smile with her HeroicSacrifice and your heroics in turn inspire a certain character to defy reality and save her from death, you two share a moment outside Chaldea for the first time where she gives you a beaming smile. The threat is over for now and the smile has been, in fact, protected.[[/labelnote]]
** Mash the third-wheel cockblock[[labelnote:Explanation]]Mash tags along with the protagonist everywhere, even on excursions with other female Servants who have obvious romantic intentions. Players who prefer those other female Servants over Mash would rather not have her hanging around and making disapproving faces while they're trying to have alone time with their waifu of choice.[[/labelnote]]
** Mash has a gun.[[labelnote:Explanation]]The Olympus trailer reveals that Mash's Ortinax shield has been modified into a {{BFG}}, akin to a railgun. Combine that with how up to this point she's mainly been a defensive character to the point of pretty much never really using her sword in her original form, people started joking about what would lead her to break out a massive gun for the offensive and the power that she now wields. Gameplay wise, it manifests as an upgrade to her Bunker Bolt skill, renamed Black Barrel, which doubles the Buster buff and critical damage buff and lets Mash ignore defense buffs for 3 turns.[[/labelnote]]
** Why can't we grail Mash?[[labelnote:Explanation]]Mash's Ascensions are tied to story progression with her current level cap being the standard 4-star level 80, and she is the only Servant in the entire game who cannot be selected for Palingenesis to increase her level cap up to 100 with Grails. Mash fans have expressed the desire to give her their Grails, assuming the story doesn't eventually reach a point where she automatically gets upgraded to a level 100 cap.[[/labelnote]]
** You can't spell "Smash" without "Mash".[[labelnote:Explanation]]Due to Mash having something of an implied romantic crush on the protagonist, and the fact she is a common source of fanservice, fans often joke about her name and wanting to "[[DoubleEntendre smash]]" her.[[/labelnote]]
** Mashu Smashu.[[labelnote:Explanation]]Even before the Smash Bros. guest character speculation came about, this meme had already existed thanks to the Camelot singularity, where Mash inherited Galahad's indignance at Lancelot's behavior, usually showing up in fanart as Mash about to smash Lancelot around with her shield just as he's about to hit on another female Servant, for example.[[/labelnote]]
** NTR Mash[[labelnote:Explanation (Spoilers for Lostbelt 6)]]In Lostbelt No. 6, Mash gets hit with amnesia and is married off to a lion fairy. While it turns out nothing physical happened as Mash is just meant to be a figurehead, the chaos of spoilers leaking in after the chapter's release meant fans started assuming the worst, causing it to spread like wildfire.[[/labelnote]]
* '''Medusa'''
** Medusa's crouch[[labelnote:Explanation]]Part of Medusa's reworked animations include her making her signature crouching pose during her Extra Attack. However, the positioning makes it so that when she's not at the front of the party, she'll be doing it right in front of the party's leader, in most cases close to their crotch. It's common to see various screenshots of this with multiple characters.[[/labelnote]]
* '''Merlin'''
** Merlin is Woz [[labelnote:Explanation]] In conjunction with the Nobunaga meme crossing with ''Series/KamenRiderZiO'', Merlin's position as a Kingmaker and a retainer to Altria is often used to compare him to Woz. Became even more obvious with Merlin's Summer Costume Camelot and Co, which gives Merlin an outfit similar to Woz. [[/labelnote]]
** Roman, I finally understand. [[labelnote:Explanation]]Due to the reveal that Merlin's been catfishing Roman throughout Part I as virtual idol Magi☆Mari, it's incredibly common to show Magi☆Mari looking like a female Merlin. The release of Proto-Merlin on "[=FGO=] Arcade" has many fans uttering this statement or things similar due to how attractive she is.[[/labelnote]]
* '''Minamoto no Raikou'''
** [[Literature/DoYouLoveYourMomAndHerTwoHitMultiTargetAttacks Do You Love Your Mom And Her Seven-Hit Multi-Target Buster Noble Phantasm?]][[labelnote:Explanation]]Thanks to [[MyBelovedSmother the similarities]] [[IncestSubtext between the]] [[MsFanservice mothers in question]] of this light novel/anime and this game, the joke on the series' name writes itself with Raikou, who is famous for being a very useful AOE, Buster NP, 5-Star Servant and a very hot mama. Coincidentally, Murasaki Shikibu, fellow sexy older lady drawn by Raita, shares the same voice actress with the eponymous mom from the light novel.[[/labelnote]]
* '''Miyamoto Musashi'''
** Two kilograms each [[labelnote:Explanation]][[https://twitter.com/sian_sasaland/status/1161680058269855744 A fanart of swimsuit Musashi]] based on [[https://twitter.com/pon6336/status/1161987593031958529 this picture]] led fans to assume that Musashi's breasts do weigh that amount.[[/labelnote]]
** Musashi likes little boys[[labelnote:Explaination]] During Shimousa, Musashi says that she wishes Fuuma were "a little younger" but clarifies that she's joking and it's still good to appreciate "handsome young men". Given how Fuuma isn't particularly old, fans took the line out of context and ran with the idea that Musashi is attracted to children.[[/labelnote]]
* '''Mordred'''
** CHICHI-UEEEEEE/FAAATHHEEERRR!!! [[labelnote:Explanation]]Mordred has daddy issues with Altria, true. But thanks to the Drama CD of [[https://youtu.be/hMkHs3J_iiI?t=538 GUDAGUDA]] [[https://youtu.be/sea_pUoczag?t=130 Order]], she tends to be portrayed as going LargeHam on her father, especially that overly long yell, which is oft-repeated by fandom. It can also extend to any other characters with [[Creator/MiyukiSawashiro the same voice as hers]], especially when [[Franchise/BlazBlue they]] [[Manga/JojosBizarreAdventure also]] [[VideoGame/FireEmblemAwakening have]] [[VideoGame/SoulCaliburVI daddy issues.]][[/labelnote]]
* '''Morgan'''
** Morgan's [[Anime/PuiPuiMolcar Moru-car]][[labelnote:Explanation]]Courtesy of a non-canon idea Nasu wrote on his blog and the pun that comes out of combining Morgan's name with ''Pui Pui Molcar'', an exodus of fanart depicting Morgan driving a guinea pig-car hybrid has been making the rounds on Twitter in early 2022. Even funnier - ''Pui Pui Molcar'' was one of the two anime series that Oberon failed to outtrend (despite his infamous Twitter popularity that outshone [[Franchise/KingdomHearts Sora]] [[VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosUltimate getting into Smash]], the release of ''VideoGame/PokemonDiamondAndPearl's remakes'', ''Manga/ChainsawMan'', ''VideoGame/UmaMusumePrettyDerby'' and other anime and games), the other being ''Manga/DemonSlayerKimetsuNoYaiba's'' ''Infinity Train'' movie.[[/labelnote]]
** Triple Morgan System[[labelnote:Explanation (LB6 spoilers)]]After the release of Aesc, many people begin to use a "Triple Morgan System", where the team just consists of Aesc, Berserker Morgan, and Altria Caster due to her being the other Avalon le Fae.[[/labelnote]]
** OfficeLady Morgan[[labelnote:Explaination]]Fanarts of Morgan as a modern day business woman are very popular. Often included with Baobhan Sith as her teenage daughter and the protagonist as her spouse[[/labelnote]]
* '''Nagao Kagetora/Uesugi Kenshin'''
** Kagetora on toilet[[labelnote:Explanation]]Japanese fan artists had fun with the theory about Uesugi Kenshin dying while having a "call of nature" by either succumbing to his disease or being assassinated. They depict Kagetora in various antics when dealing with modern toilets, or even having them as her WeaksauceWeakness much like Medb and cheese.[[/labelnote]]
** Kagetora is a [[Franchise/DanganRonpa Remnant of Despair]][[labelnote:Explanation]]Kagetora sometimes sports spiral-like eyes, similar to anyone who's a Remnant of Despair in the ''Franchise/DanganRonpa'' franchise. Add up with how she's a StepfordSmiler incapable of anything but smiling eerily... many think that she's one of the followers of despair, and speaking of ''Danganronpa'', Kagetora and her spiral-y eyes might also attract comparisons with Servants designed by DR's character designer Rui Komatsuzaki, most prominently Edmond Dantes, who did fall into genuine despair and had similarities with one of such remnants, Nagito Komaeda.[[/labelnote]]
** CatGirl Kagetora [[labelnote:Explanation]]For no discernable reason, Kagetora occasionally displays a VerbalTic of saying "Nya" at the end of her sentences. This then gets used to portray Kagetora as some sort of CatGirl like Atalante, which is ironic because cats are relatives of tigers, and she has 'tiger' in her name (Kage''tora'') and as the epithet of her rival UsefulNotes/TakedaShingen (Tiger of Kai)[[/labelnote]]
* '''Nitocris'''
** Swimsuit Nitocris. [[labelnote: Explanation]]Nitocris' Swimsuit Assassin alt has amassed a ridiculous amount of memes, thanks primarily to the Medjed disguise she puts on in her earlier levels. The meme lasted well into the Halloween season and beyond, with Nitocris still wearing it in order to use it as a makeshift ghost costume, or use it as a blanket in the winter, or just because she doesn't feel like taking it off.[[/labelnote]]
* '''Nursery Rhyme'''
** Nursery Rhyme saying "Fuck" / [[{{Pun}} Cursery Rhyme]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]Thanks to this [[https://www.pixiv.net/member_illust.php?mode=manga&illust_id=68233822 comic]] where Nursery Rhyme said 'Fuck' in a complete contrast with her innocence, her particular face there has become a reaction face for saying OhCrap[[/labelnote]]
* '''Oberon'''
** Oberon Vs Merlin [[labelnote:Explanation (MASSIVE spoilers for Lostbelt 6)]] Oberon's passive actually makes Merlin's buffs have a 20% chance of failing, resulting in them being portrayed as antagonistic against each other. It makes even more sense when Oberon's true identity is actually ''Vortigern,'' whose defeat was mainly thanks to Merlin's plans. This gets amplified in August 2022 where Proto!Mer- excuse us, [[InsistentTerminology Lady Avalon]] is added as a Pretender-class Servant, which led to many joke parties where Oberon is sandwiched between the two Merlins.[[/labelnote]]
** Oberon and Arjuna Alter back to back/[[Music/BoBRapper Can we pretend that airplanes in the night sky are like shooting stars?]][[labelnote:Explanation (spoilers for Lostbelt 6)]]English-speaking fans were quick to notice that the final ascension artworks for Arjuna Alter and Oberon, [[https://i.ytimg.com/vi/ppaZXNlfsW0/maxresdefault.jpg when being put side-to-side, strongly resemble and compliment each other]]. The fact that Arjuna Alter's artwork shows him with a night sky background further led to comparisons to a [[WesternAnimation/RegularShow certain]] [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic infamous]] CrackShip [[https://www.deviantart.com/bluedog444/art/MordeTwi-Airplanes-319272821 artwork]] that has turned into a meme of its' own, which has resulted in memes such as [[https://twitter.com/KompyAlter/status/1425806776100851712 this]].[[/labelnote]]
** (x)gatsu no Oberon[[labelnote:Explanation]]Taken from the Japanese fandom, this mixes Oberon with the Japanese title of ''Manga/MarchComesInLikeALion'', whose author Chica Umino also designed Oberon. While other months can be substituted depending on when the meme's user drew Oberon, 'Sangatsu no Oberon' (Oberon of March) in particular can also be used to put him in ''3gatsu'''s setting.[[/labelnote]]
** Oberon [[spoiler:Vortigern]] the stalker[[labelnote:Explanation '''(Major Spoilers for Avalon le Fae and''' '''''Oshi No Ko'''''''')''']]Oberon Vortigern's "Grumpy Summer Oberon" summer Spiritron Dress makes him resemble the [[spoiler:stalker that killed Ai Hoshino]] in ''Manga/OshiNoKo''. Cue many jokes regarding sandwiching Mysterious Idol XX Alter or Mash (due to both her and Ai being voiced by Creator/RieTakahashi) between two Summer Oberon Vortigerns. It can get {{exaggerated}} in the final boss fight of "Servant Summer Festival 2023" where there can be '''''five''''' Summer Oberon Vortigerns (two by deploying the player's and the friend's in addition to three fought as the enemies) as shown in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QK25wXQT_Qc this video]].[[/labelnote]]
** Oberon went to Hot Topic[[labelnote:Explaination]]With Oberon's 2nd playable Summer Spiritron Dress being a dark and edgy hoodie, tights and sandals that he bought from a shop last minute during the "Servant Summer Festival! 2023" event because Altria Caster busted him nicking what would become his Refreshing Summer Prince outfit from the cafeteria, many players made jokes about him buying from Hot Topic (known for their edgy clothing).[[/labelnote]]
* '''Oda Nobukatsu'''
** Nobukatsu is the ultimate simp/siscon.[[labelnote:Explanation]]Nobukatsu's entire gimmick is effectively being a SupportPartyMember [[SituationalSword especially geared towards]] Nobunaga, up to the point ''Nobu'' is the one who gets the most benefits off his sacrificial Noble Phantasm. Combine this with how he basically treats himself like Nobu's [[HeroWorship hype man]] and defines himself as just being a stepping stone for her greatness, it's not hard to see his "brotherly love" going ''way'' too far, to the point it's also joked he takes pride in being able to one-up ''other'' Servants who express their love for their siblings, most notably Castor.[[/labelnote]]
* '''Oda Nobunaga'''
** WASHI JA! [[labelnote:Explanation]]This is Nobunaga's 'acknowledgement' quote after picking a card. It's an archaic way to say "Me!", mostly used by old men or lords that lived in Nobunaga's era... but in the context of FGO, it's ''always'' meant to refer to Nobunaga and her wacky attitude, also oft-accompanied with one of her cartoony circular eyes, Koha-Ace style[[/labelnote]]
** [[Series/KamenRiderZiO IWAE!]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]In the [=GudaGuda=] Final event a new version of Nobunaga was introduced called Demon King (Maoh) Nobunaga, just as Zi-O series was airing. Since this is the same title that Zi-O is known as, it was inevitable that Woz, the retainer of Zi-O, would be spammed whenever she appears.[[/labelnote]]
* '''Odysseus'''
** Odysseus's [[CleavageWindow boob window]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]JP players made fun of Odysseus's CleavageWindow when he went helmet-less in one of his ascensions. Some even joke that this is how Charlotte Corday killed him (in the story, Charlotte stabbed him in the back), possibly with a superior mastery of boobs. It's even more hilarious that Odysseus is a Rider and Charlotte is an Assassin, and her skillset actually counters his (her Invicibility Pierce skill and Ignore Defence on her NP makes his third skill moot).[[/labelnote]]
** We all now know why Troy fell.[[labelnote:Explanation]]Odysseus' Noble Phantasm is basically a mechanical Trojan Horse [[TransformingMecha which can turn]] [[HumongousMecha into a humanoid robot]] with a ChestBlaster. Almost everyone on the net agrees that Trojans taking the horse isn't out of stupidity; after all, no red-blooded man could possibly resist taking away a fully-functional mecha left as a present on their doorstep. [[/labelnote]]
*** In relation, the reveal that his version of the Trojan Horse is a HumongousMecha led to many jokes about Odysseus piloting a Franchise/{{Gundam}}. [[AMechByAnyOtherName Or any other mecha]].
** Kamen Rider Odysseus [[labelnote:Explanation]]Odysseus' Stage 2 design includes a helmet [[spoiler:after two years]], making him look like a Kamen Rider. Fans immediately brought in good ol' Kamen Rider jokes. Some even gave him nicknames like "[[Series/KamenRiderRyuki Ouja]]" and "[[Series/KamenRiderZeroOne Metal Cluster Hopper]]".[[/labelnote]]
* '''Okita Souji'''
** DAISHOURI!![[labelnote:Explanation]]Okita's victory celebration is often used as a way to express great success or to refer to anything Okita does or things that make her happy (many fans yelled this en masse when Okita ''finally'' got her Summer variant)... or when it happens to her VA, Creator/AoiYuuki. It can also be snowcloned into 'Dai-(X)' to refer to 'Great X' (since Daishouri translates to Great Victory)[[/labelnote]]
** Okita-san Die-shouri/Die surely[[labelnote:Explanation]]Historical Okita died of tuberculosis and that have been poked fun about Fate!Okita's ButtMonkey status. It doesn't help that her summer variant involved Okita dying in its backstory. Even in gameplay, her overbearing demerits makes her good as dead. Poor Okita can never get a break even when her long running meme has been discredited.[[/labelnote]]
* '''The Old Man of the Mountain/First Hassan'''
** "Absolutely haram/halal."[[note]]The Hassan-i-Sabbah legend originated from Islamic stories. And the baddest of them all, First Hassan, ends up memetically using the phrase "Absolutely haram" (haram is basically the Islamic phrase of forbidden things that followers must always avoid, like pigs) as his own substitute for Altera's 'Bad Civilization'. Naturally, his substitute for 'Good Civilization' is "Absolutely halal"[[/note]]
** DOKODA![[labelnote:Explanation]]King Hassan's attack lines are all various inflections of "Dokoda", which translates to "there". The phrase has thus become synonymous with the game's resident badass.[[/labelnote]]
* '''Osakabehime'''
** Gomenasorry [[labelnote:Explanation]]Because the NA translation changed some of her lines into [[PlayedForLaughs deliberately]] cringeworthy GratuitousJapanese, Osakabehime is now known in the English fandom as a [[{{Hikikomori}} shut-in]] [[OccidentalOtaku weeb]] despite being a Japanese youkai herself. This also ties in with people complaining about finding her English dialogue cringy, and attacking and insulting the localization team for supposedly altering her characterization.[[/labelnote]]
** [[Memes/JojosBizarreAdventure NIGERUNDAYOU!!!]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]One of Osakabehime's GratuitousJapanese phrases is that phrase used when she attempts to run away. It's also a reference to a meme from ''Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventure''. Additional material also shows that Miyamoto Musashi (who DOES have a historical/mythological connection with Osakabehime) has a Battle Continuation EX skill that is basically the Joestar Family Secret Technique, so fans assume that she was the one who taught Osakabehime to, well, NIGERUNDAYO.[[/labelnote]]
** YAMETEKUDASTOOOPP!!! [[labelnote:Explanation]]One of the most used of Osakabehime's weebspeak, since there's a lot of cases that people would want to say a BigNo or BigShutUp, and if Osakabehime's involved in a tiny bit, expect this phrase to pop up.[[/labelnote]]
** YEET THE NEET[[labelnote:Explanation]]The "Imaginary Scramble" event has an exploration mechanic with Servants launched from the ''Nautilus'' to reveal new tiles on the map grid. Because of Osakabehime's unwillingness to be launched and how her animation emphasizes being thrown out of the submarine, unlike other Servants who jump from the submarine, this meme quickly became shorthand for her situation in the event.[[/labelnote]]
* '''Passionlip'''
** One ton of fun [[labelnote:Explanation]]Passionlip's listed weight of 1 ton has many fans joke that the weight doesn't come from her gigantic metal arms or her Breast Valley data storage space, but from her massive 160cm breasts themselves.[[/labelnote]]
* '''Penthesilea'''
** [=Amazon.com=] CEO [[labelnote: Explanation]]For Penthesilea, Queen of the Amazons, being an 'Amazon CEO' isn't just her FanNickname, it also made her the target of [=Amazon.com=] spoofs, like being made to deliver Amazon products, or when said product is [[http://safebooru.org/index.php?page=post&s=view&id=2350151 to instantly kill you.]][[/labelnote]]
* '''Qin Shi Huang'''
** Chin[[labelnote:Explanation]]Qin Shi Huang's [[RoyalWe personal pronoun]] is what's listed under his gender which led to it primarily being associated with his character. On top of that, it can be construed as Japanese slang for penis which the JP fandom had a field day with.[[/labelnote]]
* '''Queen of Sheba'''
** POKING SHEBA'S SHEBAS [[labelnote:Explanation]]Caster of Midrash is the shopkeeper and lottery watcher of the Battle in New York 2018 event. In the lottery portion, the buttons for doing the rolls are located right over her rather [[BuxomBeautyStandard large chest]]; the joke basically writes itself.[[/labelnote]]
* '''Saint Georgios'''
** ART THOU A DRAGON?![[labelnote:Explanation]]George's ability to apply Dragon trait with his Noble Phantasm has made people believe that George thinks ''anything'' can be a dragon.[[/labelnote]]
* '''Saint Martha'''
** Martha hates BB's guts [[labelnote:Explanation]]Martha appears to be a perfect counter against BB and her shenanigans during SE.RA.PH. Ruler Martha is one of the best counters against BB due to her class advantage while Rider Martha can easily remove debuffs should BB Slots mess with the player. This extends to the [=ServaFes=] event, when BB becomes a host of Pele and Nyarlathotep and gains Divinity, which makes her vulnerable to Ruler Martha's Limbs of Jacob skill in-game, as it has anti-Divine properties. Fans poked fun at this and artists drew some art depicting Martha bullying BB and similar stuff (most prominently, keeping BB's {{Troll}}ish shenanigans at bay and not being amused at it, reacting to any bad things BB would do with violence, to the point that BB runs off in the face of Martha).[[/labelnote]]
* '''Saitou Hajime'''
** Where's my [[Manga/RurouniKenshin Gatotsu!?]] (Okita stole it...)[[labelnote:Explanation]]One of the earlier appearances of Saitou Hajime in mainstream media is his portrayal in ''Manga/RurouniKenshin'' where he popularized the sword stance 'Gatotsu'. Even during ''Koha-Ace'', the Kenshin-based Saitou made a cameo (with his eyes censored). The Gatotsu stance eventually was used by Okita in several of her animations (in particular her Buster attack and also somehow on her Mumyou Sandanzuki), and no one batted an eye at it... until Saitou himself became summonable, upon which it became an easy joke to have Saitou wonder who the hell stole his patented Gatotsu stance and it was actually Okita...[[/labelnote]]
** [[VideoGame/DevilMayCry Saitou May Cry/is Motivated]][[labelnote:Explanation]]Because Saitou's initial art is basically a similar looking BadassLongcoat and having a sheathed katana, he's been compared a lot with [[VideoGame/DevilMayCry Vergil]], his quotes being put on Saitou ("I'm motivated", "Foolishness, Master, Foolishness", "I NEED MORE POWER!", "Might Controls Everything."). And to further the comparison, he's also voiced by [[Creator/KaitoIshikawa Nero's Japanese VA]]. [[/labelnote]]
** About evil? [[Memes/FireEmblemThreeHouses Kill every last one of them!]][[labelnote:Explanation]]A bizarre mixture of both ''Manga/RurouniKenshin'' and ''VideoGame/FireEmblemThreeHouses'' within Saitou. ''Kenshin''-Saitou is known for his motto "Aku. Soku. Zan" AKA "Kill Evil Swiftly.", and additionally, he shares the Japanese voice with [[VideoGame/FireEmblemThreeHouses Dimitri Alexandre Blaiddyd]], who eventually gained messier hair and thirst of blood as time goes on like Saitou, and eventually uttered the memetic phrase "Kill every last one of them!!". The two phrases can be easily combined into the effect of 'Swiftly killing every last one of those evils' or used as standalone phrases for this Saitou. Even the Gatotsu theft meme above can also attract another memetic line from Dimitri: "Is this some kind of twisted joke!?"[[/labelnote]]
* '''Sakamoto Ryoma & Oryou'''
** Yay, Peace, Peace. [[labelnote:Explanation]]When doing Noble Phantasm, Sakamoto Ryoma might get an alternate sprite where Oryou instead puts up a peace sign, much to Ryoma's consternation. This sprite/pose tends to get snowcloned with other possible duos, like [[https://twitter.com/natsuno_n/status/1009085761121972226 such]] or [[https://twitter.com/cei_draws/status/1008044338193018880 such]].[[/labelnote]]
* '''Salome'''
** Salome's [[VisualNovel/SchoolDays Nice Boat]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]Salome's {{Yandere}} traits plus her obsession in keeping the skulls of her lovers, and her particular favorite being John the Baptist's, made her comparable with the infamous ending of the ''VisualNovel/SchoolDays'' anime, where [[spoiler:Kotonoha snapped and murdered Sekai, and then took the head of her dead lover Makoto for herself while riding a yacht/nice boat]]. So people like to imagine that Salome took John's head to a boat and...[[/labelnote]]
** Christian Servants vs Salome [[labelnote:Explanation]]John the Baptist is an important figure in the Bible, prophesizing the arrival of Jesus Christ and baptizing him. And Salome did... ''[[OffWithHisHead that]]'' to him. While they do not have particular lines against Salome, other Christian Saints such as Jeanne, Martha and Georgios (and to an extent, maybe also King Hassan, since John was considered a bigger prophet/Saint in Islam, thus also tying with the above meme, King Hassan usually considers Salome 'Absolutely haram') are portrayed to be absolutely ''livid'' against Salome and treating her as some sort of ArchEnemy in order to save John the Baptist from torture. Which may be easier said than done considering Salome can deal extra damage to LawfulGood Servants, like all of them.[[/labelnote]]
* '''Sasaki Kojiro'''
** [[MemeticBadass Sasaki Kojiro, Savior of France]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]The fact that Sasaki is one of the two best cards for the French part of the game (said map is infested with Rider-class dragons, which Assassin-class Servants do extra damage against) has led to its reputation in the Fate/Grand Order fandom as the Savior of France.[[/labelnote]]
** [X] is [[BadassBoast just a bigger swallow]]. [[labelnote:Explanation]]Kojirou's Noble Phantasm refers to cutting down a swallow mid-flight. Replace X with anything from the aforementioned dragons to end-game bosses.[[/labelnote]]
** REGEND [[labelnote:Explanation]]Sasaki Kojiro's interlude was named this before they corrected the spelling. After he's defeated and seemingly killed during the Moon Festival event, one of the choices for the PC to say is "LEGEND OF SAMURAI" in Japanese. Nasu was having a blast while writing this.[[/labelnote]]
* '''Scathach'''
** [[MaamShock Old hag]] [[KilledMidSentence Scath]]-- ''"I can't believe Troper is dead."'' [[labelnote:Explanation]]Scathach is kind of sensitive about her age, and tends to get riled in her own cool-headed way when it's mentioned. How do fans portray it? Scathach is portrayed to be [[BerserkButton hypersensitive about her age to the point of murdering anyone that calls her by terms that imply she's old.]] Most common victim of this is Cu Chulainn, whose laid back attitude might bait him to make a comment on her age, and thus repeat the old meme of [[Anime/CarnivalPhantasm "Lancer/Cu ga shinda!" "Kono hito de nashi!"]], but he can be replaced by anyone else. Usually continued with or having a variation of someone else mentioning about cleaning up puddles of blood, implying that the murder is very messy. This is also a reference with [[Memes/{{Nasuverse}} the one involving Touko Aozaki and a phrase consisting a certain state of undesired cleanness and a certain crimson color]], seeing that many saw Scathach to be strikingly similar with Touko. And then Caster Cu gets an updated voicelines and stepped on the very same line, with Scathach trying to impale him as a result, making it partially ascended; since Scathach's method in the meme is usually instantaneous and will result a KilledMidSentence phenomenon, Caster Cu could at least finish his sentence.[[/labelnote]]
** Don't call it [=ScatFest=]! [[labelnote:Explanation]]Scathach being announced as the face of 2020's yearly Autumn festival lottery event led to fans trying to nickname it similar to the previous Nero Festival ([=NeroFest=]) and Battle in New York ([=GilFest=]), which results in the rather... [[ToiletHumor unfortunate-sounding]] [=ScatFest=]. Alternate jokes include Scathach insisting on less rude names or getting upset at the name everyone chooses to call her event.[[/labelnote]]
*** [=ScathFest=]? [=ShishouFest=]? [=BunnyFest=]? [[TooDumbToLive OldHagFe]]- [[KilledMidSentence ooooof]]![[labelnote:Explanation]]Sometimes, after Scathach has ranted about not calling it [=ScatFest=], various other characters will supply other possible names. Inevitably, this ends in Cu Chulainn, as per the meme above, insulting her age and getting a Gae Bolg right through the chest. [[BrickJoke (Jeez what a bloody mess we gotta clean up...)]][[/labelnote]]
** [[BraveScot Scottish Accent]] Scathach [[labelnote:Explanation]]In a similar manner with the [[Memes/{{Pokemon}} Scottish Female Pokemon Trainer]], people like to spice up Scathach's accent into a Scottish one, because, while she is ethnically [[FightingIrish Irish/Celtic]], the Isle of Skye is described as being in modern Scotland. [[/labelnote]]
* '''Scathach Skadi'''
** Scathach Skadi, Savior of Quick [[labelnote:Explanation]]Quick-based Servants have been the butt of inefficiency jokes thanks to Merlin bringing in the Buster meta and Quick Servants having no busted supports as opposed to Merlin for Buster and Tamamo for Arts (Osakabe-hime tried to be one, but was considered a bit lacking). Then comes Scathach Skadi, who's easily an ''absolutely amazing'' Quick Support; this made her hailed as the Savior of Quick Meta, and sometimes, parodies with ''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender'' can be applied, [[Memes/AvatarTheLastAirbender with Merlin/Buster taking the place of the Fire Nation/invaders.]][[/labelnote]]
** Skadi carrying Quick on her back / "Fine, I'll do it myself!" [[labelnote:Explanation]]Extending from the above meme, with the release of Caster Altria and later Koyanskaya of Light, Quick fell behind in the meta once again, leading many to ask for new Quick support. Cue ''Summer'' Scathach-Skadi, who is an even ''better'' Quick support with an offensive Quick NP on top of that, who can loop. By herself. You can have an all Skadi Quick farming team now. Cue jokes about Skadi being the entire Quick meta[[/labelnote]]
** Jokes along the lines of "Did you know Skadi has a Noble Phantasm?" or "Skadi world wide NP reveal!" became popular during the NA server's third anniversary when she was released[[labelnote:Explanation]]Unlike most Caster supports, Skadi's primary value comes from her skills, meaning players have less reason to use her NP compared to Merlin, Tamamo, or Waver. As a result, a lot of players joke she either doesn't have an NP, or that it was hiding due to it being seen as less useful. This can be seen as a good thing, however, as it means that you only ever need to summon her once to gain the maximum mileage from her.[[/labelnote]]
* '''Sei Shōnagon'''
** Boomer Caster and Zoomer Archer[[labelnote:Explanation]] Murasaki Shikibu and Sei Shōnagon, respectively. They're both famous Japanese writers from the Heian era, but the former is more old-fashioned and mature while the latter looks like she's in her teens and has a more modern outlook and outfit. And they hardly get along. Sei being the 'modern' one tends to use the newer meme/slang used against the baby boomer generation, "OK, Boomer", and Murasaki counters with a newer and maybe accurate "Very well, Zoomer."[[/labelnote]]
** Sei Shōnagon's dynamic cut-ins in her NP prompted fanartists to draw other Servants doing similar poses. This meme even spread outside ''F/GO''.
* '''Semiramis'''
** It's definitely [[Literature/FateApocrypha Semiramis]].[[labelnote: Explanation]]Semiramis fans on Reddit who'd been waiting for Semiramis's availability in the FGO gacha latched on to the idea that ''all'' the characters from the then-upcoming ''Cosmos in the Lostbelt'' chapter were her ([[https://i.redd.it/4k3eyqy637601.png even when they weren't Servants and/or clearly not her]]). Even after she became available as the featured Servant in the 2018 Valentine's Day event, the meme lives on.[[/labelnote]]
* '''Sen no Rikyu'''
** "You want this Rikyu to make you matcha latte?" [[labelnote:Explanation]] This is actually a transplanted meme from the old manga, ''Tokyo Osamurai Land'', highlighting the absurdity of a historical Tea Master making a cheap modern drink. FGO went with it and so did the fandom. [[/labelnote]]
* '''Senji Muramasa'''
** Muramasa the Sword Simp [[labelnote:Explanation]]One of Muramasa's My Room lines has him fanboying over Ibuki Douji...'s sword (Kusanagi). This has given rise to the meme of Muramasa preferring swords over women, even the original Fate/Stay Night cast.[[/labelnote]]
* '''Sherlock Holmes'''
** Hand-framing[[labelnote:Explanation]]Sherlock Holmes's Extra Attack animations include closely examining and [[FingerFraming hand-framing]] enemies. Just like the Medusa crouch meme, [[https://i.redd.it/ys21w5jazncz.jpg this is]] [[http://i.imgur.com/FZk7ltA.jpg also]] [[https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DIFHRnUU0AAlRp0.jpg exploitable]].[[/labelnote]]
* '''Sieg'''
** Welfare Sieg[[labelnote:Explanation]]A lot of players theorized (and were correct) that Sieg would be given out as the welfare Servant of the ''Apocrypha'' event. Given his very divisive nature among fans, it become commonplace to joke about burning him for some Rare Prisms even though welfare 4* didn't yield any Rare Prisms at the time. Though it eventually got turned around, as [[RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap the Inheritance of Glory actually makes Sieg acceptable and likable]], so people changed their mind about burning him.[[/labelnote]]
* '''Siegfried'''
** Sumanai. [[labelnote: Explanation]]Siegfried's LowTierLetdown status was pretty much legendary and not only [[FanNickname is the phrase used to describe him]], it's also used as a way to 'spook' people who drew 4-5 star Sabers only for them to be revealed to be Siegfried. The Interlude buff, while not enough to make him a decent standalone Saber, actually made him at least servicable or showing combo potential with other Servants (his combo with Georgios can be extremely lethal even on non-dragon enemies). But [[NeverLiveItDown people have a hard time forgetting his sucky days]], so 'Sumanai' is still going to stick.[[/labelnote]]
** This is his catchphrase because of his guilt to his wife.[[labelnote:Explanation]]When Kriemhild joined the game and acts like a yandere towards him, fans now understand why he says "sumanai" a lot.[[/labelnote]]
* '''Spartacus'''
** Spartacus, Savior of China [[labelnote:Explanation]]In Lostbelt 3, Spartacus defied gravity and went [[WesternAnimation/TheIronGiant Iron Giant]] on a meteor to save the civilian inhabitants of SIN.[[/labelnote]]
** Spartacus rebelling against the greatest oppressor of all: gravity. [[labelnote:Explanation]]The end of the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vDzbCBZ4U9c Lostbelt 3 trailer]] features a shot of Spartacus flying through the sky as the song in the background swells heroically.[[/labelnote]]
*** "Superman..." and "You stay. I go." [[labelnote:Explanation]]Once the chapter came out and context was revealed - Spartacus flies toward a meteor so he can repel it in a HeroicSacrifice - many allusions were made to the climax of ''WesternAnimation/TheIronGiant''.[[/labelnote]]
* '''Stheno'''
** Stheno the Useless Goddess [[labelnote:Explanation]]Usually Medusa is the Gorgon Sister that gets ridiculed and bullied in-universe by being called 'useless' or sorts. However, in gameplay, while both Medusa and Gorgon range from decent to very useful, and Euryale is very useful, Stheno... is a LowTierLetdown, so she's the one being labelled as 'useless goddess' in the players' eyes. While her strengthening quests have made her usable, the meme remains, especially when her facial expression is a super smug one like trolling that she just spooked you out of any dream Assassins you have been gunning for.[[/labelnote]]
* '''Takasugi Shinsaku'''
** [=AI Takasugi=] [[labelnote:Explanation]] During the CBC 2023 event players were introduced to an AI version of Takasugi Shinsaku in the event shop, some players decided to ship treat said AI as a whole characters and even shipped with the other characters such as the protagonist.[[/labelnote]]
* '''Tamamo-no-Mae'''
** Tamago-no-mae [[labelnote:Explanation '''(SPOILERS)''']] Tamago is Japanese for "egg." Using a machine translation of Tamamo-no-Mae results in "Before the Tamago". The ending of Tungska Sanctuary has Koyanskaya sealed inside a CosmicEgg. Because of these, it didn't take long for puns relating to Tamago being released.[[/labelnote]]
** RIP Tamamo / The future is now old hag.[[labelnote:Explanation]]Due to the release of Altria Caster who's now the new premier of Arts support team, many fans began to joke that Tamamo No Mae is either no longer serve its purpose or still be useful as Chen Gongs ammo. It's even made it more hilarious when her alternate counterpart Koyanskaya was released where Gamepress placed her along Caster Altria on EX Tier list while Tamamo being demoted to A+ Tier [[https://gamepress.gg/grandorder/servant-tier-list as seen here.]][[/labelnote]]
* '''Tezcatlipoca'''
** Tezcatlipoca's terrible aim.[[labelnote:Explanation]]His attack animations for his first ascension reveal that he cannot aim ''at all'' when using guns and misses his target all the time, which promptly became the most discussed trait of his to talk about just how bad he is at using guns and extending that trait to literally anything that requires aiming. He also hates people bringing it up, no matter how obvious it is, for the same reason he hates having his general inadequacy as a sun mentioned, so violence on the speaker is sometimes a factor.[[/labelnote]]
** WOOOOOOOOOOOOOO[[labelnote:Explanation]]In his later Ascensions, many of Tezcatlipoca's battle voicelines are ''very'' spirited and jovial whoops and yells, even when ''damaged''. Most frequent and memorable is his battle cry of "WOOOOOOOOOOOOOO", which has proven ''very'' popular among players, with videos or streams containing Tezcatlipoca usually flooded with commenters spamming "WOOOOOOOO" in solidarity. Some amused players have made comparisons to Youtuber [[LetsPlay/{{Critikal}} MoistCr1TiKaL]], known for his own iconic "WOOOOOO!" from one of his videos, or to wrestler Wrestling/RicFlair, who also has "WOOOOOO!" as a catch phrase.[[/labelnote]]
* '''Tiamat'''
** Mom vs. Mom [[labelnote:Explanation (Possible Spoilers)]] With Tiamat finally able to be summoned, people immediately joked about her being a SitcomArchNemesis to Chaldea's other resident mother Raikou, often involving the two competing over who gets to be Ritsuka's mother. [[/labelnote]]
* '''Tristan'''
** Tristan in Extra (CCC). [[labelnote: Explanation]]He's the only bonus Servant for the event without any apparent connection with CCC. Cue confused reactions from Japanese players. Tristan even trended on twitter on the day the CCC event details were announced![[/labelnote]]
** That's so sad. [[labelnote: Explanation]]Tristan's memetic CatchPhrase in Japan. Only became really meme-worthy elsewhere when the phrase "Tristan, play [[Music/LuisFonsi Despacito]]" was added onto it.[[/labelnote]]
* '''Tristan (Tam Lin)/Baobhan Sith'''
** Tam Lin Tristan is Elizabeth. [[labelnote:Explanation]]Many people believe that Tam Lin Tristan looks an awful lot like Elizabeth Báthory in this game.[[/labelnote]]
** Baobhan Sith's foot fetish.[[labelnote:Explanation]]The plot of the Mystic Eyes Symphony event revolves around Baobhan Sith having Chaldea collecting shoe pics of other servants. This has fans jokingly stating that Baobhan Sith has a foot fetish, especially since some of the servants don't have any shoes to begin with.[[/labelnote]]
* '''Ushiwakamaru'''
** [[AffectionateGestureToTheHead Headpatting]] Ushiwakamaru [[labelnote:Explanation]]Ushiwakamaru is... [[BadassAdorable adorable]]. And in her interlude, she asked the protagonist to pat her head in congratulation of her deeds. Hence, every player seems to have an urge to pat Ushiwakamaru's head all the time whenever she does something nice or cute.[[/labelnote]]
* '''Voyager'''
** Voyager's latter ascensions have him smile when using his NP, the Pale Blue Dot. Let's just say that the smile stuck among the fandom... And that is not mentioning the surge of NASA related jokes regarding him.
* '''Wu Zetian'''
** Wu Zetian is the real Grand Assassin.[[labelnote:Explanation]]In September 2021, [[https://www.reddit.com/r/grandorder/comments/polq2g/bilibilis_fgo_changes_wu_zetian_into_shadow_of/ admins over Mainland China server fixed Wu's Ascension Arts as the same as the gold Assassin art during summoning]], and her revealed true name remains the same (Assassin of Nightless City), while her voices and personal data are removed. Fans are joking that she's the real Grand Assassin since even King Hassan didn't receive such level of concealment.[[/labelnote]]
** Is Rider 231 really Berserker 049?[[labelnote:Explanation]]Following Wu, [[https://www.reddit.com/r/grandorder/comments/pp47um/fgo_china_has_decided_to_remove_some_servants/ most of the Chinese servants received the same treatment]], along with their names reduced to "Their Class name + their character ID" (until they received new official names later on), for example Red Hare becomes "Rider 231", and these also takes effect during in-story dialogues. Most of the dialogues in Lostbelt 3 becomes hilariously incomprehensible as a result, and fans (within and outside China) use the same formula to speak about other servants, either mocking such changes or playing along as a meme.[[/labelnote]]
* '''Yagyu Tajima-no-kami Munenori'''
** Sitting EX [[labelnote: Explanation]]Yagyu Munenori's skill animation involves him kneeling, then getting up again. Because of his good skillset for burst damage, many have called his animation "Sitting EX" [[/labelnote]]
* '''Yu Meiren'''
** Early Yu [[labelnote:Explanation]]The requirement for the 2020 Summer Event, "Chaldea Thriller Night", was simply that it could be done as soon as you finished Fuyuki, ie the prologue chapter. Many fans had fun with how Summer Yu's presence would be rather glaring, given that storywise at that time she was part of Team A who were all in comas in cryogenic suspension (At least one Japanese fan-comic took it a step further, taking advantage of the Throne being outside time to have her summoned by Team A).[[/labelnote]]
* '''Zhang Jue'''
** [[VideoGame/DynastyWarriors HEAVEEEENNNSS!!]][[labelnote:Explanation]]Zhang Jue took the title of 'General of Heaven' in the original source, so he does speak a lot about heavens. His incarnation in ''VideoGame/DynastyWarriors'' took this to absurd levels of FountainOfMemes that it ''leaked'' to Zhang Jue over here, so you can expect many of the old {{Narm}}tastic yellings of him and the Yellow Turban characters in particularly the third game to apply to him. Take your pick from the likes of "Zhang Jue does not believe in magic." or "Zhang Jue wants you to feel the power of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XF-MDuXXiSI MAJEEEEEKKK!!]]" or calling his opponents [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AeSMpetv34M "flaming idiots."]][[/labelnote]]
