In General
The main antagonists of Epic of Remnant. They are separate villains in self-contained stories and have little correlation with each other beside arising from Solomon's defeat.
- Arc Villain: The villains in each Sub-Singularity have little to do with each other or on the greater Myth Arc as a whole, except for SE.RA.PH. and Shimousa, who turn out to be very important for different reasons, as SE.RA.PH. reveals a Dark Secret of Chaldea and features the manifestation of Beast III/R, while Shimousa ends up being a prelude of Arc 2.
- The Phantasmal Fiend Alliance in Shinjuku.
- BB in SE.RA.PH.
- The Women of Agartha for Agartha.
- Seven Heroic Spirit Swordmasters led by The Sorcerer for Shimousa.
- Räum and Sut-Typhon for Salem.
- Genre Roulette: All villains are based off genre stories, and are self-contained stories that have little connection with each other.
- Shinjuku: Urban Fantasy, Detective Drama, and Sherlock Holmes.
- SE.RA.PH.: Ballet and Dramedy.
- Agartha: Fairytale Free For All.
- Shimousa: Makai Tensho and The Divine Comedy.
- Salem: Lovecraft Country and Salem Is Witch Country.
- Red Herring: A Running Gag, but whenever something happens, there's always something misleading about it.
- Shinjuku; The entire Phantasmal Fiend Alliance debacle turns out to be a front so that Demon Pillar Baal and Moriarty can have their revenge on their respective nemesises.
- SE.RA.PH; BB and the Seraphix Holy Grail War turns out to be a front so that Kiara can become Beast III/R without being bothered. What's more, BB herself was supposed to be a loyal program called BB/GO, who'd run the war and take the credit so that Kiara could complete her ascension.
- Agartha; The entire war was to complete a ritual that would expose magic, thus, causing it to fade away.
- Shimousa; The Theme Naming for the Seven Heroic Spirit Swordmasters was just to mislead everyone into thinking someone from Divine Comedy was involved with the incident. It was Caster of Limbo/Ashiya Douman's idea to name it as such to troll the protagonist and humor the Sorcerer.
- Salem; The Salem Witch Trials reenactment were to break Abigail Williams, who'd allow cosmic terrors called Outer God to destroy the world.
- Running Gag: The cool old man of each Pseudo-Singularity always turns out to be the traitor. Archer of Shinjuku is James Moriarty, Rider of the Resistance is Christopher Columbus, Saber Empireo is Tajima-no-kami, and Randolph Carter is controlled by Räum.
Pseudo-Singularity I: Shinjuku
Phantasmal Fiend Alliance
Symbol Of The Urban Fantasy Conspiracy
A criminal conspiracy that has taken over Shinjuku in the year 1999, having walled the city itself from both the outside world and time itself. Along with distributing a magical drug called "Mystic Spinal Fluid," that can temporally turn regular people into mages, they also fuse Heroic Spirits with Phantoms and Urban Legends, turning them into loyal monsters. Their Servants are EMIYA (Alter), Phantom of the Opera, Assassin of Shinjuku, and Rider/Avenger of Shinjuku. They also have the Phantoms King Lear, Romeo and Juliet, and Macbeth.
- Animal Motif: Butterflies, as represented by the symbol used to access the last chapter of the story, a blue butterfly encased in a glass diamond. It foreshadows Archer of Shinjuku/Moriarty's connection with them.
- Berserk Button: Chaldea and everyone associate with it are Rider/Avenger's, as their saving human history denied it its final vengeance against the humans who took everything from it. The moment it learns that the Protagonist has entered the Singularity, it flies into a rage and starts hunting them down.
- The Berserker: The Alliance's control over their Rider/Avenger is extremely nebulous. It comes to them for further fusions and upgrades, but otherwise just rampages around the city slaughtering as many humans as it possibly can without regard for their goals. The most they get is not being immediately turned upon and attacked.
- Composite Character: Their Phantom Spirit fusion involves grafting Phantom Spirits together, or onto existing Heroic Spirits. The results vary widely depending on compatibility: merging the shape-shifting Doppelgänger with the chivalrous and heroic outlaw, Yan Qing resulted in an insane, psychotic monster experiencing Loss of Identity over time as mimicking people destroyed his personality with Yan Qing's later Interlude revealing the Doppelgänger itself ended up taking after Yan Qing's more heroic personality. Rider of Shinjuku, later the Avenger of Shinjuku, only ever really had one strong, dominant personality in Lobo, the king of Currumpaw, but one of the other Phantom Spirits, the Headless Horseman still manifests, while another, later graft of lesser compatibility is almost completely dormant. And, the Archer of Shinjuku is almost completely dominant over the Phantom Spirit he is fused with, gaining a change of class and increased combat capabilities with virtually no downsides. This continues even after he has used the process to forcibly assimilate even his nemesis, Sherlock Holmes!
- Dub Name Change: They're called the Phantom Demon Alliance in the JP version.
- Gameplay and Story Integration: All its core members have kits that revolve around Critical Star generation and absorption, giving them tremendous synergy if placed on the same team. Their Evil alignments allow them to immediately benefit from both of the buffs of Moriarty's Evil Charisma Skill. However, EMIYA (Alter), while also possessing an Evil alignment, does not rely on Critical Stars, foreshadowing how he eventually betrays the organization.
- Hoist by His Own Petard: The ultimate undoing of the Alliance comes from the very reality-thinning isolation it created to allow Phantom summoning. To overcome Moriarty after the criminal genius has fused with Sherlock Holmes, the heroes, with the aid of two author Servants, unleash a vast horde of other fictional detectives to aid the protagonists: Father Brown, "the Old Man" from the works of Baroness Emma Orczy, Professor Augustus S. F. X. Van Dusen, Dr. Thorndyke, and many others. They mention Hercule Poirot is there too, though he's fussy and never appears in person.
- Human Resources: The Phantom of the Opera, as Berserker of Shinjuku, constructs automatons out of murdered people.
- Mooks: In the form of the Hornets, a private militia of masked gunners with disturbing masks, Hoodlums, regular criminals, Coloratura, automatons created by Berserker of Shinjuku, Super Chimera-kun, artificially-made chimera beasts, and the Yakuza.
- Killed Offscreen: It's only mentioned very briefly in the beginning but before Chaldea arrived, Moriarty originally intended for not just EMIYA Alter but two other of the Three Knight Class Servants to be a part of the Alliance. However, both the Saber and Lancer he summoned, despite being blackened, had no intention of going along with the plan and EMIYA Alter killed them in order to become a member of the Alliance.
- The Mole: Assassin of Shinjuku and, as it turns out, Archer of Shinjuku himself both infiltrate the heroes, disguised as trusted allies. For once, the bad guys are also a victim of this, as EMIYA Alter is actually still an agent of the Counter Force, and is infiltrating the Alliance to prevent their attempt to destroy the Earth.
- Nebulous Criminal Conspiracy: An Urban Fantasy version, as a magical criminal conspiracy seeks to take control of the isolated city.
- Professional Killer: Has two in the form of Assassin Of Shinjuku, a shape-shifting martial artist, and EMIYA Alter, a self-professed mercenary, that both work under the Alliance for their own reasons.
- Red Herring: What the entire thing turns out to be. It was used as a cover so that surviving Demon Pillar Baal could get back at losing to a human, Moriarty could finally one-up and absorb his literary nemesis, and to do so the two teamed up to destroy the world.
- Supervillain Lair: Barrel Tower, which is under construction throughout the Pseudo-Singularity, and where William Shakespeare is being held prisoner, using his fictional characters for the Phantom fusing experiments. Its also where Baal and Moriarty seek to kill the protagonist by using the latter's "Seventh Bullet" to annihilate them within the closed-off space.
- Wretched Hive: What they've reduced the walled-off city into. It isn't called "The Quarantined Territory of Malice" for nothing.
- Yakuza: They are in Shinjuku after all. They work for the Phantasmal Fiend Alliance.
- You Have Outlived Your Usefulness: EMIYA Alter is sent to kill Phantom after he's defeated by the party and the majority of his automatons are destroyed during the raid on his base, the rest viewing him as a loose end that needs to go.
Christine Daaé
The Lost Love Of The Angel of Music
The fictional character and female protagonist of Gaston Leroux's 1910 novel The Phantom of the Opera where the titular Phantom of the Opera, Erik, and Viscount Raoul de Chagny both fall in love with her. She serves as a minor antagonist that was used in the illegal Phantom fusing experiments, merging her with a Coloratura (human turned automaton). She is fought with Berserker Of Shinjuku/Phantom Of The Opera.
- He Was Right There All Along: Turns out that Berserker of Shinjuku's attempts to find his Christine was all for naught, as she was right beside him all along. Of course, he's insane, and she also couldn't speak until she started dying, so he couldn't ask.
- That Liar Lies: Calls Phantom Of The Opera a liar just before her Coloratura body breaks down.
- The Lost Lenore: Serves as this for the Phantom of the Opera, being the source of his madness.
Pseudo-Singularity Extra: SE.RA.PH
BB/GO ("Main Interlude: SE.RA.PH" Spoilers!)
Black Blossom/Grand Order
An even worse version of BB that was salvaged by GO Kiara to run the Seraphix Holy Grail War. However, the Moon Cell sent a copy of BB in order to stop her from becoming Beast III/R, who then sealed GO away to make sure Kiara wouldn't realize anything. She serves as the main antagonist of the Black Bottom Encore event in "Abyssal Cyber Paradise: SE.RA.PH," seeking to use SE.RA.PH. in order to Take Over the World.- Alas, Poor Villain: BB certainly feels this way after she is finally defeated.
- Alternate Self: The two BBs who appear in SE.RA.PH are this to each other, despite possessing their memories from CCC. The main BB (and the one who becomes obtainable) is a copy of BB sent by the Moon Cell to stop Kiara. BB/GO, on the other hand, is the BB that Kiara absorbed into herself alongside Passionlip and Meltryllis in CCC to achieve her Heaven's Hole form and was ultimately "salvaged" by GO Kiara.
- Call-Back: References the BBB robots during her Evil Gloating about taking over the world.
The BBB robot was supposed to be a boss in CCC Extra, but was scrapped due to her being too flat of a character. - Cerebus Retcon: The BB Slot Machine that constantly appears to either help or hinder you? Turns out it was to keep Kiara in check, along with the KP (Kiara Points).
- The Dragon: She was created with this in mind, as BB/GO would ensure the War runs smoothly until Kiara fuses with the world. Instead, she's become Dragon Their Feet as she now just seeks to take over the world using SE.RA.PH.
- Dragon Their Feet: By the Encore chapter, her master and everyone else on SE.RA.PH are dead, and thus decides to take matters into her own hand.
- Eviler than Thou: She's so bad that the original BB (who by the way trapped loads of people in a virtual reality powered by a magic supercomputer, caused horrific deaths for the sake of her love, and nearly destroyed the world due to causing The Moon Cell to decide humanity should be erased) is wowed by BB/GO's cruelty.
- Flunky Boss: She accompanied by an army of Shadow Servants, and they'll disappear once BB/GO is defeated.
- Fusion Dance: Once beaten, BB merges with what is left of her, allowing her to reach her maximum level.
- Killer Game Master: Just like the original, having turned three playable Moon Cell Servants into Sentinels and forces BB and the protagonist into another venture through SE.RA.PH.
- Post-Final Boss: BB/GO is this for SE.RA.PH, being the final enemy and antagonist of the event's Encore Act. While she's planning to Take Over the World, she's nowhere near as powerful or dangerous as Kiara/Beast III/R is, and mainly exists to tie up a few loose ends such as where the hell did Nero, Tamamo, and EMIYA fly off to in SE.RA.PH after being separated from the protagonist and add a few laughs. There is some tragedy and foreshadowing to her though.
- Punny Name: BB/GO is literally F/GO or, "Black Blossom/Grand Order."
- Red Eyes, Take Warning: She has solely red eyes, unless the player chooses the dialogue options that she's not expecting.
- Red Herring: Her original purpose, one that BB herself takes over after sealing her away, was to run the Searphix Holy Grail War, with GO taking the credit while Kiara uses the emotions of the Masters and Servants to become a Beast and merge with the Earth.
- Take Over the World: With Kiara gone, GO seeks to do this with SE.RA.PH., patching it into the internet to hijack Earth's factories and create BBB robots to take over the world before uploading all of humanity into her network so they can worship her, and so that she can grant their wicked wishes in the worst possible way.
- Twin Switch: The BB AI sent from the Moon Cell to SE.RA.PH swapped places with the salvaged her so they could fulfill their plans.
- Vagueness Is Coming: As she dies, she says BB will make the same mistakes as she did for the sake of love, before croaking. This foreshadowing what BB would do in the third summer event.
- Walking Spoiler: Her existence reveals that BB was always on the side of humanity, more or less, having replaced GO to backstab Kiara at the most opportune time. It's also revealed that the BB Slot Machine was in fact designed with keeping Kiara in line.
Pseudo-Singularity II: Agartha
Women of Agartha
Within the underground continent of Agartha, three matriarchal cities exist that capture and enslave the men who fall into it, all based on various folklore legends from around the world. They are the city of Ys, a pirate haven led by Princess Dahut, El Dorado, a golden city of Amazons controlled by the Berserker of El Dorado, and the Nightless City, a Chinese metropolis ruled by the Assassin of the Nightless City. Each one seeks to destroy or dominate the other two, demonstrating the superiority of the political philosophies their nations are based on, before heading out to conquer the surface world.
- Anarchy Is Chaos: The pirate-city of Ys is this, though downplayed. The philosophy it's built on is to take what you want, then discard it without getting attached once you don't need it anymore. It does produce a semi-functional society, since many people do find uses for the things others throw away, but it's still overall a wasteful, disorganized mess built on brutal slavery and pillaging everything the pirates can find.
- Antagonist Title: They're the titular rulers of the underground city, the Women of Argartha.
- Born as an Adult: The lady pirates, Chinese citizens, and Amazons all reproduce this way, using sperm from captured men to somehow asexually divide themselves into multiple copies.
- Big Brother Is Watching: The Nightless City believes that its men should be at least apart of its harem for women and are treated better then the other two. However, the moment you try to or even think of escaping, cue the tortures giving you and the rest of the men an example of lingchi.
- Brainwashed and Crazy: Dahut is actually Francis Drake, forcibly Rayshifted from Chaldea as part of Scheherazade and Phenex's scheme who has been made to think they're Dahut.
- Crapsaccharine World: The Nightless City isn't as obviously oppressive to its male inhabitants as the other nations, and its culture less brutally martial, but its men are no less Sex Slaves than anywhere else. They are not free, and trying to even think about escape or dissent is met with agonizing and barbaric public torture and executions. Furthermore, the Assassin of Nightless City is obsessed with creating public virtue through terror, encouraging all citizens to become The Stool Pigeon.
- Darwinist Desire: Downplayed. The Amazons of El Dorado kill captives that don't struggle and fight back: they only want breeding partners with spirit and will.
- The Dog Was the Mastermind: The ultimate source of the Pseudo-Singularity is Scheherazade, Caster of Nightless City and someone who's been seemingly juggled between the factions of Agartha. She was the one who created a world of folklore, subconsciously made it a place where women rule over and mistreat men in ways men have mistreated women over time, and created the unstable situation as a makeshift Grail War-like construct to fit her long-term schemes, all aided (and manipulated herself) by Phenex. It is referenced by Holmes that because she is the only new person left that wasn't affected, making her the mastermind by default.
- Duels Decide Everything: On a "country vs country" war scale. Three philosophies run the three factions, and the whole thing is treated as if it was some giant game of Civilization or Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri. Each of them are as follows;
- Dystopia: Since Young Fergus is trying to learn to become a king, he examines each of the cultures of Agartha in turn, and finds them all wanting. Ys is a wasteful, disorganized mess built on brutal slavery and pillage, the Nightless City is a nightmarish panoptic prison, and El Dorado a military dictatorship run through survival-of-the-fittest. And all three mistreat men in ways men have mistreated women in history.
- Empty Shell: The rulers control and set the template for their female subjects, who become silent, motionless, and lifeless without someone to give them orders. Columbus hopes to use this to seize control once the last ruler is dead.
- Fairytale Free For All: The factions rule from mythical cities and all seek to prove their philosophy of how a kingdom should be run through brutal force. The winner gets to turn Agartha into the capital for their next conquest. It becomes so blatant that even the protagonists can sense that it's all following a story narrative. It foreshadows the fact Agartha was created by Caster of the Nightless City.
- Gilded Cage: The men of the Nightless City might live comfortable lives as harems of sex slaves for the women, but they have no choice in the matter and are not free. Trying to or even thinking of escape invites brutal punishment.
- Human Resources: By using the captured men's sperm, the pirate ladies, Chinese torturers, and Amazons all reproduce this way by somehow dividing themselves into multiple copies.
- Lady Land: All three nations in Agartha are ruled entirely by women, with men being second-class citizens at best and livestock at worst. Each of them evokes specific abusive cultural attitudes regarding women that men have had in history. Fergus wonders if this is the result of Caster Of Nightless City/Scheherazade's own subconscious fears of men and equating them with death manifesting through her Noble Phantasm creating the Singularity in the first place.
- Light Is Not Good: The Nightless City, despite or because of Assassin of the Nightless City's efforts to enforce Light Is Good.
- Mêlée à Trois: The major factions within the Singularity are locked in battle with each other simultaneously, along with the Agartha Resistance.
- The Amazons of El Dorado control the western woods and are the most powerful faction overall, due to their strong inhabitants and military culture. The Roar of the God of War just makes them harder to deal with as they become numb to pain and death.
- The Pirates of Ys control the sea. They are poorly organized and militarily weak, but make up for this with their mastery of sea travel, allowing them to strike quickly and with great mobility in areas the Amazons can't properly anticipate or defend against.
- The Nightless City prefers to keep their city hidden to the north, sending out their beasts to go after anyone who isn't within a secure village while undermining the others with surveillance operations.
- The Resistance, while the weakest faction overall, have an impenetrable hiding spot and high morale.
- Pirate Girl: An entire city full of them live in Ys. They are pointedly depicted as every bit the lawless and unpleasant people as most non-protagonist fantasy pirates, and they treat male captives and service workers with the same casual cruelty one would expect from misogynist buccaneers of fiction.
- Proud Warrior Race Guy: The Amazons of El Dorado are Proud Warrior Race Gals to a woman. They are a militaristic race of Amazonian ladies who believe that Might Makes Right, led by the dictatorship of the Berserker of El Dorado. Notably, Berserker's Roar of the God of War skill throws them into a warrior frenzy, heedless of pain or death.
- Red Herring: Once again, what the entire thing turns out to be. The war never mattered, it was just used to finish the ritual that would expose magic and erase Mysticism from the world.
- Servant Race: They were created from Columbus' desire for the perfect slaves, which is the reason for their ability to multiply with ease as well as their enhanced physical traits.
- Take Over the World: What the winner of this Fairytale Free For All wins, as Agartha is so deep underground that trying to break in would be nearly impossible, as well as having access to infinite magic, and with an infinite army that can be effortlessly controlled, no one would be able to stop them from total world domination.
- To the Pain: The torturers in the Nightless City give a short summary of lingchi, the punishment their prospective victim will suffer for attempting to escape. It starts with severing his fingers a bit at a time.
- Well-Intentioned Extremist: Yes, what they do to men in Agartha is completely unforgivable and everything they say should be taken with copious amounts of salt, but they all believe that their philosophy of how to run a kingdom will help the world.
Megalos
Giant Hero
When the Berserk Hero of Greece was rayshifted into Agartha, The Caster of the Nightless City enhances and modifies his Saint Graph to turn him into a living natural disaster that wanders the Agartha Pseudo-Singularity, and serves as a major antagonist.To see his original version, check Heracles on Fate/Grand Order: Berserkers - G to M.
- Adaptational Intelligence: In the Agartha manga adaptation, he manages to get around Astolfo's attempt to bypass his Healing Factor with Trap of Argalia (which turns his lower legs into ether, but otherwise doesn't harm him to the point that he needs to regenerate) by destroying his upper thighs, causing both of his limbs to regrow.
- Back from the Dead: He has God Hand, which manifests as twelve separate non-removable Guts buffs that revive him to 50% of his maximum HP. Thankfully, in gameplay over the first three consecutive fights you need to only take out four of them to end each fight and progress to the next.
- Blade Spam: An attack Megalos can do after taunting one of your Servants is to deliver multiple slashes at once with a single swing from his axe.
- The Cameo: While not necessarily suffering from Degraded Boss status as some other unique boss enemies, Megalos has appeared in few different ways.
- In the "Little Big Tengu" event, the hero party has to stop a giant Heracles in New York by jumping inside his body where they end up fighting a "Heracles-Megalos Antibody".
- In Avalon le Fae, during a chocolate making competition, a chocolate fairy (Devil Caren) ends up creating a chocolate Megalos that is seen as being a threat to the world and thus has to be destroyed.
- Death of Personality: At first, he's believed to be a modified Heracles. It soon becomes clear that there's nothing left of what he originally was, as he's less of a person and more of a force of nature, best shown when the protagonist falls butt first onto their face, and he doesn't even react to that.
- The Dreaded: Nearly everyone in Agartha is terrified of "Megalos" with his arrival causing everyone to run as far as possible. The only exception is Penthesilea due to her extreme hatred of mythological Greek men.
- Empty Shell: "Megalos" is a mindless tool incapable of even thinking. Other characters even end up talking about him like he was more of a robot than an actual person.
- Person of Mass Destruction: "Megalos" in Agartha is feared by all as such an unthinking destructive force he's repeatedly compared to a natural disaster more than a person.
- Power Tattoo: He has even more of the red tattoos then his regular self, though some of them look less like tattoos and more like bloody scars.
- Superior Successor: What the highly-modified Megalos was made to be by Caster of the Nightless City in comparison to the normal Heracles. Physically he's even bigger than old Herc with an even bigger axe and showier bling for armor. He's also stronger, more durable, and even has a higher level of Divinity. Also, he has his own version of God Hand that restores his health to 50% per death.
- Sequential Boss: You have to fight him five times throughout the campaign, with the first three times in a row (and the last of those fighting Berserker of El Dorado as well) followed by a break and a later two in a Dual Boss situation with Christopher Columbus.
- Shock and Awe: Megalos has electricity surging from his body or his axe when using skills or attacking and his charge attack is a burst of electricity coming from himself.
- The Worf Effect: He's billed as being several times stronger than his regular Berserker self, but he loses both of his fights with Penthesilea to highlight how dangerous she is when she's under the full effects of her Mad Enhancement against Greek heroes.
- Villain Team-Up: With Rider of the Resistance/Christopher Columbus, thanks to the protagonist bonding him to Columbus.
Pseudo-Parallel World: Shimousa
Seven Heroic Spirit Swordmasters
Seven Heroic Spirits summoned by the masterminds of the Shimousa incident, one from each of the seven classes. However, through vile rites, their Spirit Origins have been twisted and perverted by a mysterious power called the Curse of Annihilation, corrupting them into undead monstrosities overflowing with bloodlust and a desire to extinguish life.
They are Caster of Limbo (Ashiya Douman), Saber of Empireo, Lancer of Purgatorio (Houzouin Inshun), Archer of Inferno, Assassin of Paraíso, Rider of Kālasūtra Hell (Minamoto-no-Raikou), and Berserker of Saṃghāta Hell (Shuten-Douji), in addition to their leader the Sorcerer, a mysterious figure who claims to have learned "Jesuit sorcery" from Satan/Lucifer and uses it to transform the world into a living hell.
- Adaptational Late Appearance: In the manga adaptation of Shimousa, Archer of Inferno and Assassin of Paraíso don't appear together with the rest of the Heroic Spirit Swordsmasters in the first encounter with them in the story unlike in the game. Instead, their first proper introductions are moved to later chapters where Ritsuka and her team finally get to engage them individually, in the same story segments that fully focused on them from the game where they're fought as separate bosses.
- Adaptational Personality Change: Rider of Kālasūtra Hell is depicted in the Shimousa manga adaptation as someone who is completely serious and fury-filled underneath her eerily lifeless expressions. In the game, she's expressive and sometimes personable, albeit obviously evil and antagonistic unlike her normal self.
- Affably Evil: Those whose personalities have not been completely subsumed by the Curse of Annihilation are sometimes rather pleasant and personable, even as they indulge in relentless murder sprees without missing a beat. For instance, Rider of Kālasūtra Hell and Berserker of Saṃghāta Hell, ignoring their more murderous inclinations, remain much the same as their normal selves when they're summoned as antagonists.
- Alien Sky: Whenever Caster of Limbo uses his sorcery to turn day into night, or when the Swordmasters are in the middle of a rampage and giving in to the Curse of Annihilation, the sun disappears and grows dark, and a huge full moon, red as blood, appears in the sky, turning all the heavens crimson.
- Alternate Self: Most of them aren't true servants, but rather the corpses of the Heroic Spirits made to serve Caster of Limbo and Avenger Amakusa. As such, the summonable versions of themselves have no knowledge of the Swordsmens actions, and upon learning of them, are horrified, even apologizing despite it not being them who did it.
- Amnesiac Resonance: Even with their humanity and memories suppressed, Rider of Kālasūtra Hell and Berserker of Saṃghāta Hell still instinctively hate each others' guts.
- And I Must Scream:
- Several of them, such as Tomoe, are shown to be at least somewhat aware of their state, desperately begging the Protagonist and Musashi to kill them during their few lucid moments.
- Assassin of Paraíso takes a different approach, in that she's aware of her state but not bothered as much by it at first since she's still following the mantra she held in life as a loyal ninja, but descends into frantic begging when Berserker of Saṃghāta Hell reveals she's been ordered to exploit her connection to Orochi to force Chiyome's cursed blood into overdrive for a power up and loss of even more sanity, which also spits in the face of the fact she dove into her Just Following Orders mentality out of the belief it would eventually appease the gods and lift the curse.
- Antagonist Title: They are the Heroic Spirit Swordmasters referred to in the subtitle "Seven Duels of [Heroic Spirit]note Swordmasters" and there are exactly seven of them.
- Ax-Crazy: The form it takes for each of them is slightly different, but all of them are driven by a fanatic desire to kill, and turn the world of the living into hell. Sometimes it ebbs and flows, but it's always there.
- Death Seeker: Many of them thank Musashi for restoring their lost humanity and severing their stagnated karma in death.
- Dual Boss: Rider of Kālasūtra Hell and Berserker of Saṃghāta Hell are fought together in one battle. Twice. The Narrator actually counts their final battle as the fourth and fifth duel.
- Dub Name Change: A very minor example. The NA localization adds the word "of" between the class and their Cursed Name. Also, the Cursed Names of Rider and Berserker are translated from Japanese to romanized Sanskrit and English.
- Empathic Environment: Each of the Swordmasters can summon a dueling arena; a barren landscape of skulls and blades stuck into the earth, with a background influenced by their nature and history.
- Lancer of Purgatorio has a sickly purple mist that shrouds the area.
- Archer of Inferno has the entire background on fire.
- Assassin of Paraíso has an ethereal serpent floating coiled around the arena.
- Rider of Kālasūtra Hell and Berserker of Saṃghāta Hell are backed by an intense lightning storm.
- Caster of Limbo has a cloudy sky.
- Saber of Empireo has the huge red moon looming far too close to the earth.
- Fighting from the Inside: Even Berserker of Saṃghāta Hell turns out to have resisted, in her own way, by performing brutal Meat Grinder Surgery on the player's magic circuits to slowly enable them to reconnect with Chaldea.
- Healing Factor: All of them are virtually unkillable by conventional means. Musashi and Muramasa take Lancer of Purgatorio's for a workout, with the former severing his head clean off in their first battle, only for him to pick it back up and put it back on the stump, and Muramasa repeatedly obliterating his torso with several of his "failures." It doesn't matter; Lancer of Purgatorio boasts that he can regenerate From a Single Cell unless completely obliterated. Musashi, using one of Muramasa's demonic blades, finds another way around it though.
- I Cannot Self-Terminate: When bits of their former personalities shine through, they're horrified at their fate but cannot even end their own lives to stop themselves. Notably, Assassin of Paraíso outright begs for death when Berserker of Saṃghāta Hell forces her Orochi-cursed blood into overdrive.
- In the Name of the Moon: A dark and villainous variant. Each of the Seven Swordmasters recites an incantation before summoning a dark environment of Nothing but Skulls, influenced by their unique nature, for a final Duel to the Death with Musashi."Come forth, my blood-soaked frontier! This mountain of bodies and river of blood shall serve as the stage for our battle, and consume the loser's soul upon defeat!"
- Interplay of Sex and Violence: Berserker of Saṃghāta Hell loves violence and uses intentionally uses sexual language to describe it. In her first clash with Musashi, she says she's getting "all hot and bothered" and that she's "falling for you so hard it's taking everything I can not to strangle you!" Her absolutely horrific Meatgrinder Surgery on the protagonist has her ask if it's your first time and tells you to "lie back and think of Chaldea".
- Kill the Ones You Love: After being summoned into the Rider class with her beloved horse, Kyogoku, Raikou killed him without hesitation after being corrupted into Rider of Kālasūtra Hell when he was not similarly polluted by the Curse of Annihilation. This makes her later stark refusal to slaughter children, despite that being a line every other Swordmaster is willing to cross without question all the more remarkable.
- Kryptonite Factor: One of Muramasa's demonic weapons is able to cut through fate and karma, and, when wielded by Musashi's incredible skill, can sever the bonds the vile sorcery that created them uses to tie them to the world, allowing them to truly die.
- Legion of Doom: They're an army of sword wielders who command the demons who terrorize the countryside, with an end goal of genocide.
- Madness Mantra: With a couple of full dialogue textboxes devoted to two repeating words, Archer of Inferno repeatedly thinks to herself that she detests or hates, well, everything, starting with the Genji and the Tokugawa family.
- The Man Behind the Monsters: Still-good-looking (former) Heroic Spirits lead the horrible monsters plaguing Shimousa. Lampshaded by Musashi, who is pleasantly surprised by how Caster of Limbo is actually really handsome while insisting he's not her type.
- The Mole: It turns out that Tajima-no-kami is actually Saber Empireo, continuing the trend of Cool Old Guy characters secretly being villains. This is foreshadowed by their interactions with Katou Danzo, who had earlier been revealed to be under the control of Caster of Limbo. Although it is also
Spoiled by the Format, given that the story is so heavily inspired and modeled after Makai Tensho, that readers can pick miles away that they are going to be a villain. - My Rules Are Not Your Rules: As poor Inshun learns the hard way after jamming his spear into the heart of Saber of Empireo, they do not operate under the same principles as other Heroic Spirits. They have Cursed Names separate from their True Names, allowing them to unleash their Noble Phantasms without revealing themselves, and, worst of all, their Spirit Origin is no longer within their bodies, meaning that, so long as karma chains them to the world, they cannot be destroyed.
- No Honor Among Thieves: During his duel with Saber of Empireo, Inshun notes that none of the other Swordmasters are joining in, and he suspects the reason is that none of them actually like or trust each other.
- Non-Indicative Name: Downplayed compared to their later parodies, but two of these "swordmasters" don't use swords at all, with Lancer of Purgatorio preferring his spear and Caster of Limbo using no weapons at all. And of the others, Assassin of Paraíso prefers her ninja sorcery to her blades, the Archer of Inferno's short sword is not used as often as her many other weapons and Berserker of Saṃghāta Hell uses her First Ascension form, meaning that she just uses her brute strength to beat people up.
- Not Brainwashed: Unlike the others, Caster of Limbo is not subject to sorcerous control or manipulation. He joined Amakusa's scheme of his own free will. Or more specifically, his boss told him to, and he happily went along.
- Not Himself: Lancer of Purgatorio is met before and after his corruption to demonstrate the gulf between the people they used to be and the insane murderers they have become. That said, Berserker of Saṃghāta Hell is a pointed aversion compared to her peers: her personality is virtually the same, she feels no guilt for her monstrous deeds, and she is easily the least-changed and least-angsty of the Seven, save for Caster of Limbo.
- One-Man Army: Even by the already-powerful standards of the Seven Heroic Spirit Swordmasters, Rider of Kālasūtra Hell is a beast. Her story section opens with her single-handedly slaughtering an army of more than ten thousand battle-tested soldiers, seemingly without even needing to use her Healing Factor, sparing only a New Meat recruit whose mind has collapsed too deeply to make a good sacrifice. However, Musashi states, after their clash, that she isn't quite as unstoppable one-on-one. This is because, in her own time, she was a matchless talent who never met anyone who could meaningfully challenge her compared to the monsters she battled, while Musashi comes from an age of competitive dueling.
- Overly Long Name: Heroic Spirit Swordmaster. The term is never shortenednote and it comes up a lot. It's not nearly as long in Japanese, where it's called "Eirei Kengou".
- Person of Mass Destruction: After slaughtering the troops, Rider of Kālasūtra Hell teams up with Berserker of Saṃghāta Hell to destroy Fuuma Kotarou's home province. Not just the people, mind you, the entire province. It is reduced to a stripped-bare wasteland, melted to glass and scorched by lightning.
- Power Echoes: During their spoken lines in their duels with Musashi, all of them develop a reverb effect on their voicelines. Some of them have this going constantly.
- Redemption Demotion: Inverted, as a theme. In the case of Lancer of Purgatorio, the purity and focus of Houzouin Inshun is reduced by the tainted corruption he is immersed in. Musashi actually thinks to herself during their duel that while she could only barely think of any ways to defeat the man he used to be, she can see several ways to exploit sloppy mistakes he keeps making in his bloodlust. And Rider of Kālasūtra Hell decapitated her own horse after being subverted, since it was not similarly corrupted, removing a decent portion of her power.
- Red Eyes, Take Warning: Many of them helpfully have hellish, glowing red eyes to warn you to run. They aren't always active, unless their Game Face is on. Amakusa himself combines these with Scary Teeth he otherwise doesn't have. Interestingly, in the manga adaptation, Purgatorio, Inferno, and Paraiso's sclera are red and bloodied similarly to The Sorcerer, as opposed to the game where either their whole eyes or just their irises like in Paraiso's case glow red.
- Red Herring: It's a recurring thing at this point. The whole Divine Comedy theme-naming for the Swordmasters was just Caster of Limbo trolling both the protagonist and the player, making them think that someone from that story was somehow involved in the Shimousa incident. He freely admits he just rolled with what Amakusa decided he liked calling the Foreign God.
- Religion is Magic: Reflecting a limited feudal Japanese understanding of Christianity, Caster of Limbo and their leader claim to use "Jesuit sorcery" given by Lucifer himself. This is, of course, bull, and probably a result of leaning into Protestant invective. Amakusa is on some level aware it's not literally true, but he's too dramatic a person not to love the theatricality of literally calling it Satan. Caster of Limbo does note that this power did indeed come from a "god", but it's not one any Christian, or indeed, any person on Earth worships.
- Sanity Has Advantages: While not as pronounced as in the "First Singularity: Hundred Years' War of the Evil Dragons: Orleans", Caster of Limbo and Amakusa run into many of the same difficulties as Jeanne Alter in Orleans. Namely, by turning these Servants into their undead slaves and using the Curse of Annihilation to remake them into bloodthirsty maniacs, their minions have trouble focusing and sometimes fail to follow orders in favor of picking fights, or otherwise give in to flaws that they wouldn't in their right minds. Lancer of Purgatorio is also a weaker combatant than the man he used to be, as some of Inshun's greatest strength came from his pure and focused mind, while Rider of Kālasūtra Hell had to kill her horse when he wasn't corrupted along with her. Caster of Limbo pays with his life when Tajima-no-kami's desire for a rematch with Musashi overpowers even his evil nature, and he cuts Caster of Limbo down. Even this version of their leader Amakusa Shirou is less successful, in his madness, than his canonical counterpart, tending to give in to villain pitfalls like monologuing and giving away key information to the heroes.
- Sinister Silhouettes: Until they meet the protagonist face-to-face, they show up as shadowy silhouettes. Notably, knowing the sprites "spoils" who some of them are (in case the hints in their dialogue isn't enough), like Rider of Kālasūtra Hell and Berserker of Saṃghāta Hell. Two characters are explicitly shown without silhouettes or with a generic "Shadow Servant" hooded silhouette: Saber of Empireo and the Sorcerer. Saber of Empireo showing his true silhouette would be an actual spoiler for his identity as Tajima-no-kami, likewise with the Sorcerer as Amakusa. The latter only gets a silhouette one story segment before he gets formally revealed. Averted in the manga adaptation where they're fully seen and recognized by Ritsuka once they step out of the shadows in her first encounter with them.
- Slasher Smile: Even those whose sprites don't normally have these will sport them when they show up as Heroic Spirit Swordmasters.
- Stock Character: Since "Pseudo-Parallel World: The Stage of Carnage, Shimousa" is heavily inspired by Makai Tensho, it is not surprising to see Inshun and Tajima-no-kami becoming villains in the story, since they are among the most recurring villains of the original novel's various adaptations.
- Stupid Evil: They're so obsessed with mindless bloodshed and carnage that even those who were known tacticians in life, such as Lancer Purgatorio and Saber Empireo, throw all sense of tactics to the wind in favor of blind, unrelenting force.
- Tears of Blood: The Swordmasters cry these in moments of great stress, or when they are doing something deeply opposed to their original personalities.
- Theme Naming: Each of them is named after a Buddhist or Christian afterlife, something which Edmond Dantes's missionary form identifies as the work of a madman or a shameless blasphemer. Even their leader, Avenger Amakusa, is associated with Hell, due to his desire to turn the world to this, as well as claiming he got this power from the Devil. There's actually no real meaning to it, as Caster of Limbo did that just to troll the protagonist and to humor Amakusa, admitting at the end of Shimousa that to refer to his lord by the name of Satan for so long was insulting to said liege.
- Then Let Me Be Evil: The Heroic Spirit Swordmasters are aware that they used to be true Heroic Spirits, but now their twisted karma encourages them to embrace their darkest side that had been rejected by humanity, whether it be the pursuit of passionate revenge or their "tainted" non-human blood.Rider of Kālasūtra Hell: "If this world truly is hell... then we shall perform our roles as oni!"
- The Undead: While they don't have the Undead Trait, they fit in virtually every other way. They are unkillable shadows of the people they once were, overflowing with rage at the world.
- Would Hurt a Child: They spare no one in their rampages. Indeed, many of them go out of their way to target children, since their lost former selves recognize that human beings treasure and love children, and will be hurt and terrorized all the more by their loss. The lone exception is Rider of Kālasūtra Hell, whose Madness Enhancement regarding motherhood is simply too strong for the Curse of Annihilation to overpower, even when her Ushi-Gozen persona takes over. She refuses to harm Onui and Tasuke after she and Berserker of Saṃghāta Hell kidnap them, protects them by hurling the oni down the mountainside for attempting to eat them, sings them lullabies while letting them sleep on her Lap Pillow and, when Onui calls her mother, even cuts them loose for the heroes to rescue. Their standing order to kill everyone, even children and the elderly, is a reflection of the same orders given by the Shogunate to kill every last Christian, regardless of age, at Shimabara, so that Amakusa may have his revenge.
The Sorcerer ("Pseudo-Parallel World: Shimousa" Spoilers!)
The Jesuit Sorcerer from Hell
An Alternate Self of Amakusa Shirou Tokisada, as an Avenger, a Dimensional Traveler who, after learning that his rebellion of Shimabara will never work, no matter the world, teams up with Caster of Limbo (Ashiya Douman) and a being he calls "Satan/Lucifer," The Foreign God, to summon and corrupt seven Heroic Spirits to cause a Quantum Time Lock to destroy everything. Serves as the main antagonist of Shimousa.
To see the original version, see Amakusa Shirou Tokisada on Fate/Grand Order: Rulers.
- Alternate Self: Amakusa himself is one. He's a Dimensional Traveler who has lost the faith he once had and as such was driven insane, his class even changing to reflect this.note
- Arc Villain: He's the main villain in "Pseudo-Parallel World: The Stage of Carnage, Shimousa", being the evil Sorcerer who commands the Seven Heroic Spirit Swordmasters and the Nameless Saber, and he's the one with the great Evil Plan. Frankly enough, despite being not so different from Musashi, he doesn't have much of a personal connection to her, and in fact, his fight is the only one of the chapter's nine boss fights where Musashi isn't forced upon you as a Guest Servant. He's not killed by Musashi either. The ones who actually defeat him are Muramasa (who destroys Amakusa's Reality Marble) and Kotarou (who kills him with Paraíso's kunai).
- Card-Carrying Villain: When Kiyohime calls him a madman when he reveals his plan to her, he gleefully and wholeheartedly agrees.
- Climax Boss: The Sorcerer Aka Avenger Amakusa is the final enemy within Shimousa, and his defeat heralds the end of the group's danger to the timeline. However, he is not the final opponent. That would be the Nameless Saber.
- Composite Character: Due to the fact that "Pseudo-Parallel World: The Stage of Carnage, Shimousa" is heavily inspired by Makai Tensho, Amakusa and the evil Sorcerer are combined into one character like in many of the latter's adaptations.
- Dimensional Traveler: Avenger Amakusa comes from a pruned timeline which he somehow managed to escape, and wandered through many, often-bizarre universes. According to his rambling to the captive Kiyohime, some of them had neither day nor night, and in one, he met the entity he calls Lucifer, the Foreign God, who too saw its own brethren slaughtered.
- Driven by Envy: Musashi accuses him of this, claiming that his ultimate scheme is driven not by righteous fury or even revenge, but resentment and a desire to dominate and enslave others by transforming them into monsters, just as he watched the Tokugawa dominate Japan. The accusation hits a nerve, and makes him so angry that he opens up his Reality Marble to show them the hell he lived through.
- Evil Plan: One slowly unveiled to the audience in pieces, before the characters see it. First, summon and pervert various Servants into Heroic Spirit Swordmasters, and send them out into the world to slaughter human beings and extinguish life. Second, harvest the souls of those slain, including the Swordmasters themselves; the more stained with regret, sorrow, horror, hatred, and other base negative emotions the better. Third, use these to summon Onriedo, a demonic castle that turns some humans into murderous monsters but not others, using the existing castle as a catalyst. Finally, spread the evil of that castle across all realities, not only destroying the Tokugawa, to gain revenge on them, but potentially all humanity as the side effects begin to transform all worlds into a living hell. Notably, the architect of this plan is not merely Caster of Limbo or the Sorcerer, but the mysterious figure they call "Lucifer, the Great Satan," who taught them the "Jesuit sorcery" necessary to make the plan work, and warned them strongly that the Master of Chaldea might be a threat to their plans.
- Foreshadowing: A bit that was unfortunately Lost in Translation; originally the Sorcerer declares, as his plans come to fruition, that he "can see the Roots of Cosmic Fantasy descending!" This is an early description of the work of his dark master, the Foreign God and his Trees of Emptiness. Kirschtaria ultimately uses the same line in both versions of the game while calling the first meeting of the Crypters to order.
- Karmic Death: He's eventually killed by Kotarou who pierces his heart with one of the kunai Assassin of Paraíso left behind, a retribution for all the hate and suffering the Heroic Spirit Swordmasters endured. To add insult to injury, he's killed by "just a little ninja boy", not by Musashi whom he has some form of respect for.
- Mental World: This version of Amakusa Shirou has at least one trick the original never did: a Reality Marble, called "the Hell of Shimabara" a wasteland of flames and death where the very air is poisonous and lung-scorching, from which there is no escape.
- Motive Rant: Upon being backed into a corner and accused of being Secretly Selfish by Musashi, Amakusa snaps and goes on a ranting tirade about how much he and his followers suffered at the Tokugawa's hands at Shimabara and how a world that decrees the Tokugawa as heroes yet condemns him and his followers as "terrorists" doesn't deserve to exist.
- Other Me Annoys Me: Exaggerated, Avenger Amakusa rants in hatred about his loathing for the version of himself the heroes are more familiar with; one who still loves humanity and wants to make the world a better place in spite of the horrors he went through in their shared experience at Shimabara. It is made very clear the two men have little in common but their experiences.
- Stock Characters: Since "Pseudo-Parallel World: The Stage of Carnage, Shimousa" is heavily inspired by Makai Tensho, it's not surprising to have Amakusa as one of the villains. In the original novel, Amakusa and the evil sorcerer were two separate characters, but in later adaptations they were combined into one character. Regardless, Amakusa is usually one of the most recurring villains of the novel's adaptations.
- Tears of Blood: Just like the Heroic Spirit Swordmasters, he cries like this too.
- Then Let Me Be Evil: Enraged and broken by the merciless slaughter of his friends and innocent victims at Shimabara, Amakusa decided that if the Tokugawa would condemn him as a violent extremist, that would be exactly what he would be to take revenge upon them and all humanity.
- Villain Has a Point: As he stands over the dying Sakon, commander of the samurai detachment to Shimousa, Amakusa sneers at the man's horror at the despair and death wrought by the demonic castle and the Forced Transformation of many of the town's residents into murderous monsters. He points out Sakon showed no such concern while ordering his troops to slaughter helpless noncombatant women, children, and elderly Christians at Shimabara, or when participating in the butchery himself, and has no room to judge when the tables are turned.
- Villain Respect: The Sorcerer admits respecting Musashi and her swordsmanship, unlike his other opponents Kotarou and Muramasa, since the pair are like two peas in a pod with similar circumstances. They are both lost mobile Singularities, separated from their homes. The difference, as pointed out by the protagonist, is that their methods and how they've coped are completely unlike; the Sorcerer has become a vengeful villain while Musashi has stepped up to become a hero despite her protests otherwise.
- Walking Spoiler: He serves as the mastermind behind the slaughters of the Alternate Shimousa with the help of the Foreign God, with the latter using the incident as a prototype Lostbelt experiment.
Pseudo-Singularity IV: Salem
Sut-Typhon ("Pseudo-Singularity IV: Salem" Spoilers!)
The-One-In-All
Following the defeat of Goetia, Demon Pillar Räum saw the Foreign God, and in order to bring "salvation" to humanity, decided to cause the Salem Pseudo-Singularity, using the Witch Trial's instigator, Abigail Williams, who had a connection to the Outer Gods, to serve as a vessel for the legendary Outer God Sut-Typhon, through a ritual involving ghouls and Servants that play the role of people of Salem in a never-ending time loop in order to fill the world with Lovecraftian Horrors. To see the Elder God's host, see Abigail Williams on Fate/Grand Order: Foreigners.
- Cosmic Horror Reveal: Its involvement in the plot reveals that the entities of the Cthulhu Mythos exist in the Nasuverse and they are not friendly. Its host is also F/GO's (and the franchise's) first Foreigner-class Servant, and after its defeat another Cosmic Entity descends, kick-starting Part 2 of the story.
- Dystopia Justifies the Means: A rare example that overlaps with Utopia Justifies the Means, as the instigator truly believes the world will be better off for it. Broken by grief from the events of the singularity, Abigail comes to the conclusion Räum did that if it is truly possible for humanity to find "salvation", then it can only be brought through untold suffering. Sut answers that belief with the intent of using its power to drown every human in suffering in order to "save" them.
- Eldritch Abomination: It's either an avatar of or literally another name for Yog-Sothoth (given how Abigail and Lavinia use the names Sut-Typhon and Yog-Sothoth interchangeably in the ritual the latter taught the former), so being one is a given.
- Final Boss: Technically, it shares this spot with its host, Abigail, using her now berserk body, as they serve as the last boss of Salem and Epic of Remnant as a whole. With its defeat, Chaldea is attacked by the Foreign God's Emissaries before the monster itself appears to erase the world to make way for the Lostbelts.
- I Have Many Names: Lavinia reveals that "Sut-Typhon" is just one of several names for this Outer God. He is also known as "The-One-In-All" and "All-In-One". Lovecraft fans will instantly recognize it as Yog-Sothoth, though that name isn't used very much in the story.
- Misery Builds Character: The main idea behind its brand of "salvation": since Abigail internalizes the concept that all humans are born with sin in part due to her upbringing and part because of Räum's influence, she believes that it is only by forcing them through pain and suffering will they become The Atoner and ultimately be forgiven and "saved". Sut-Typhon gives her the power to thus force untold suffering across the entire planet at once.
- Roaring Rampage of Revenge: It awakens once Sanson sacrifices himself to be hanged and the Salem people start stoning Abigail. Things really hit the fan once Lavinia dies, causing Abigail to completely shut down and give in to Sut, who starts opening portals everywhere to let its brethren through and begin the process of "saving" humanity through suffering.
- Summon Bigger Fish: It's the bigger fish from Räum's Salem ritual, hoping that Sut and the other Outer Gods will destroy the world and save mankind before the Foreign God makes it.
- Thinking Up Portals: While Abigail goes crazy with grief, Sut starts opening keyhole-shaped portals so that more of its kin can come through.
- To Create a Playground for Evil: What it intends to do, filling the world with other Outer Gods to destroy the world, so that the Foreign God never destroys it first.
