>Notwithstanding the differences in beliefs, the Muslim Saladin was respected by Christian lords, Richard especially. Richard once praised Saladin as a great prince, saying that he was, without doubt, the greatest and most powerful leader in the Islamic world. Saladin, in turn, stated that there was not a more honorable Christian lord than Richard. After the treaty, Saladin and Richard sent each other many gifts as tokens of respect but never met face to face.

Because King Hassan isn't really the chief. Strictly speaking, King Hassan had no direct interaction with the cult of assassins. Basically, some literal whos got together and went "Holy shit, this guy's awesome!" and decided to try and emulate him. They wore masks modeled his, took on the name "Old Man of the Mountain" and performed work in his name. King Hassan didn't try to stop them or direct them in any way, but he decided that if these guys were gonna try to emulate him and do his work, then it was his responsibility to set them straight whenever they fell off the path. Problem is, almost every single Old Man of the Mountain inevitably fell off the path, and King Hassan's only way of "setting them straight" is slicing their heads off.

looking at the wiki, either it's incomplete or they are overhyped. Most members have nothing to describe them or their abilities. Well, nothing to directly suggest that they can take down multiple Alucards (except being member of the burial agency).

I'm the furthest from a scholar of Tsukihime, but as far as I can see Alexander Anderson base form would measure up to them. Especially due to his regeneration (only countered when Alucard used Anti-regen explosive bullets).

She'd only have that attack in the Tsukihime worlds though, since it relies on Idea Bloods. Having a massive amount of od doesn't amount to much without an external medium. Saber has a powerful dragon core, but she wouldn't be able to do shit without Excalibur. Od is just od, it's not capable of destroying things on its own.

I wonder what Ciel even does in the Fate worlds. She's apparently an Executor there too, but without Idea Bloods she's probably only about as strong as she was in the original Tsukihime.

It's faster than light and it's biggest feature is that it's impossible to avoid. Even Arcueid couldn't avoid it since not only is it ridiculously fast, it also spans the entire length and breath of a city.

Why does any of that matter? We don't even know if Ciel exists in Fate, let alone being an executor. Only Tsukihime Ciel is ever relevant.
>>
>>273456223
Seems easy to avoid to me. It's just a giant blade. Its range is huge, sure, but it's narrow. The reason Arcueid couldn't avoid it was because she realized it was coming too late.

Plus even if you can't avoid it, you can probably counter it with an equal or greater force. Excalibur would probably be able to smash through it if shot fast enough, since its power is only concentrated on its tip.

Good king as a child. Wise and just, but not perfect.
Horrendous king as a young adult. Selfish rapist and oppressive tyrant. Needed to get Enkidu's fist wedged down his throat to even start getting better.
Bad king as a growing adult. Always busy adventuring, got in trouble with the gods, nearly got his city destroyed, abandoned Uruk entirely when thanatophobia got to him.
Excellent king after the snake stole the herb of longevity and he learned that immortality wasn't what he wanted to begin with.
>>
>>273456270
No, it's actually faster than Arcueid could dodge it to the point she could only reflexively react to it. Which wasn't enough. Even Ciel's profile in FGO states it's impossible to evade it, so you sure as hell won't have enough time to counter it with an active NP after it was fired:
>By deploying magecraft reflectors into the stratosphere, sunlight is converged and released as a lethal beam, resembling a descending guillotine. As long as the Star of Calvaria remains visible to the target on the ground, evasion is impossible as it strikes with blinding speed.

Excalibur probably can't since Calvaria uses way more magical energy. 3 years worth of Ciel's supply to be exact.

She'd still have a massive supply of od. Her battery is as huge as that of a high-tier phantasmal's from the Age of God's.

Excalibur's an amplifier. Calvaria has the same degree of mystery as Excalibur. You don't need to put as much juice into it to have the same level of power. It multiplies the user's od. So Saber only has to use half her present supply of od to fire off a beam, and the resulting beam is many times more powerful than what she could produce on her own.

Also, just shoot Excalibur first. It doesn't seem like repositioning Calvaria Star is easy. It's a trap. Once it's set, you can only wait until the enemy gets into optimum range.

Calvaria is the same actually. Funny that you mention it considering the gimmick between the two is stated to be the exact same, not just the degree of mystery. Calvaria also works by converging and accelerating light/energy making it as dense as it could possibly be.
Which is why Calvaria at full power is way beyond what Saber could muster with just her od. Maybe the unsealed version would be more powerful though.
>>
calvaria requires massive setup while saber with excalibur can just lol beamu in a microsecond. if she spent the same time and resources to gather energy as it takes to set up calvaria she could probably blow up the universe.

>>273456675
Condensed and accelerated, not amplified. You're misinterpreting it. The power of the Excaliblast is several times greater than Saber's mana capacity. It's the same principle as why Shirou is able to create Noble Phantasms with magical energy a hundred times greater than what he can actually produce. If Shirou is worth ten units, then Caliburn is easily worth thousands of times that. It's basically taking a grain of sand and turning it into a mountain.
>>
>>273456813
Calvaria only requires 3 minutes for the full power version. In FGO you can see a weaker version and it works instantly just like any other NP.
>if she spent the same time and resources to gather energy as it takes to set up calvaria she could probably blow up the universe

It's the same thing. Saber's energy is converted into light which then is accelerated and condensed. That's how the magical energy poured into excalibur is amplified.
Calvaria Star works under the exact same logic except the energy Ciel is using is orders of magnitude greater than what Saber is using. This same energy is condensed and accelerated, greatly amplifying it's power.
That's it.

>>273457034
And so does Calvaria, via convergence and acceleration. I don't get why you don't seem to be able to wrap your head around that.
>>
>>273457176
Because convergence and acceleration is not amplification. All that does is take the elements that already exist and focus them on a smaller point, producing a larger impact. If you fired something with the same energy as a bullet but spread it out into a much larger surface area, it wouldn't have much impact. All Calvaria does is condense existing energy into a blade.

What Excalibur does is break the conservation of energy. It takes a smaller amount of energy and turns it into a much larger amount and then further condense that larger amount of energy into the a single point. Ciel isn't breaking the conservation of energy, Excalibur is.
>>
>>273457281
The convergence and acceleration is the amplification. The entire point of Excalibur is that it creates a ton of kinetic energy via this methodology. The energy is far greater than what's poured into precisely because the energy is going incredibly fast and being further condensed. There is no other amplification done besides this. Saying accelerating energy is not amplification is ridiculous, and disregards the entire point of how kinetic energy actually works.

>What Excalibur does is break the conservation of energy
And so does Calvaria via convergence and acceleration. Again, they are the exact same thing, they work in the same way and are powerful for the reason.

Yeah, I get their point, but it's just wrong.

FGO profile:
>A holy sword which transforms the owner's magical energy into "light", increasing its momentum due to the convergence and acceleration, and enable the use of magecraft of divine levels.

Fate Zero mats:
> A holy sword which transforms the owner's magical energy into "light", increasing its momentum due to the convergence and acceleration, and enable the use of magecraft of divine levels.

And like the status screen itself directly states the amplification happens as a result of the acceleration and convergence.
There really is no difference between the two other than Calvaria Star carries a lot more energy before converging (for the full power version).

I don't think it works that well in F/sf because some of the Servants are kinda bullshit. Prelati has too much nonsense attached to them that have nothing to do with the historical Prelati, so you'd never be able to figure it out unless they came out and said it. Zealot is 100% OC.

Richard has to come out and say who he is because his performance doesn't match what you'd expect him to have. He's a perpetual motion machine who gets faster the longer he fights, he can casually do the same shit as Berserker Lancelot, and he's able to produce an anti-army beam. Richard's from the 1100s. There are no other heroes from that time period who can shoot A-rank Anti-Army beams.

Pale Rider is also impossible to figure out because he's 100% at odds with how we expect Servants to work. Even Nursery Rhyme isn't as much of an outlier. He is THE most bizarre Servant so far. Literally nothing else, not even gag Servants, are as abnormal as him.

Fake Berserker is what you get when you stretch the definition of "Jack the Ripper" to the absolute breaking for. The logic behind him is almost nonsensical. He's like an Adam West era Riddler riddle personified. He HAS to tell us who he is because who in the fuck would equate Jack the Fucking Ripper to a self-multiplying demon? No, I get the logic behind it, but in any other setting that shit wouldn't fly. Even Apocrypha Jack is more sensible. Yes she's a loli, but her abilities are just exaggerations of what we know of the real Jack. Fake Jack is an exaggeration, but he's way more overboard.

>>273455758
Saladin and Richard were actually going to marry each other's families to one another and co-rule the holy land until the Pope stepped in and threatened to excommunicate him for it. The timeline of that happening and a dual Lionheart/Saladin owned Jerusalem is pretty crazy to think about, literally everyone else would have gotten fucking curb stomped

>Richard's from the 1100s. There are no other heroes from that time period who can shoot A-rank Anti-Army beams.

>>273459370
Hello, Menwearpink, how's it going?
>>
>>273459601
That's only within reason. The entire reason they're chosen to represent Jack the Ripper is because they have intrinsic qualities that are very similar to what we understand of him. The reason the namemess swordsman was chosen to be Sasaki Kojiro is because he's a dead ringer for what the guy might have been.

Fake Jack stretches those limits as far as possible to the point of nearly snapping. The identity of "Jack the Ripper" becomes practically meaningless if you stick it on a shale-shifting demon.

>>273459370

Sure, but it's usually not that extreme. It's usually something like D-rank Divinity, or C- Tactics or whatever. Even in the case of Semiramis, you need like an insane amount of capital and preparation to use her Hanging Gardens. Richard hit the jackpot. The biggest jackpot by far.

Yes he should, half the Knights of the Round are total jobbers and literal who randos who just walked in even in the IRL Le Morte d'Arthur. There's some Knights of the Round whose entire backstory is "I found a dead guy's armor, put it on, and got made a knight cuz they needed more warm bodies."
you think the people lancelot killed in ten seconds flat by crushing their skulls with his bare gorilla frenchman hands are equal to Richard?There's 100+ Knights of the Round, the table is more like a United Nations conference hall due to how bloated the roster's gotten over the centuries

Off-topic, but one of the funniest things I remember was when I was playing Samurai Remnant and researching characters as they appeared.

Because the bigger lore stuff contradicts his own lore. Everything regarding Yamataikoku and whatever's going on with Oryo is at odds with Nasu's settings. Also, Nobbu is completely ridiculous. She's someone who's fueled ENTIRELY by fame boost. The degree to which she's empowered by her fame far surpasses Richard. She became a supreme godslayer entirely through memes. Even if PHH Nobunaga became a Servant, he probably wouldn't get such an insane buff.

It also doesn't help that very little from that era survived to modern day. BC Japan didn't have a writing system so much of what we understand of that era of Japan actually come from China. Even the stories of Yamataikoku and its queen mostly come from China, but none of it's verifiable.

All of the Hassan’s are Muslim, and should be super effective against them just like the Church executioners. Given they both draw power from the same God.

King Hassan, Fathomless Rift, and Serenity, assuming her poison is on a similar level to Hydra venom given Jester said that would have killed him.
Also cursed arm should be able too, assuming Nasu doesn’t retcon the arm to not be the literal arm of Satan (iirc, he said it lost most of its authority and stuff and won’t comment more on it since Muslims don’t take kindly to people talking or portraying their religion).

Wish they’d introduce Sir Lamorrak to Fate already. Top three to top five strongest knight. Dude soloed bands of 30+ knights by himself, and it took Mordred, Gawain, Agravain and Gaheris attacking him unarmed and by surprise to take him down. It also took hours and Mordred had to backstab him to finish the fight.

Gil states that he would have had way, way more trouble with Herc if it hadn't been for Herc needing to protect Illya. Even with that handicap, right at the end Herc still did the impossible and broke the Chain of Heaven before very nearly breaking Gil's neck.
>>
>>273462949

Nasu picks and chooses from different stories to form his amalgamated lore. In Fate, Lancelot is the strongest and Tristan isn't.

Lamorrak probably isn't stronger than Lancelot or Saber.

Well he is stated to be weaker than Lancelot and Tristan (in the top 3 version), and weaker than Arthur (in the top 5).

It’s just that when in Fate those all either have divine blessings, fairy blessings. beam sabers, dragon cores, combination of multiple of those, etc. Him getting by without those is pretty badass in my eyes.

If it was FGO I could totally see him bullying Mordred, or that he was amongst the knights who didn’t follow the Lion King and was overwhelmed by those who received the new blessings.

Mordred has a dragon core.

Does she? None of her profiles mention it and I don’t believe it’s ever stated in FGO or the Apo anime
>>
I wonder if the manga is going to resume now.
>>
>>273463548
She inherited the dragon factor from Saber. It's not at the same tie as Saber's, but it's the reason for her extremely high mana capacity, Mana Burst, and ability to spam Clarent.
>>
>>273463548
Still took him three friends, hours of struggling against an unarmed opponent and backstabbing to get the job done
>>
>>273463682
That could simply be because she’s a homunculus, which naturally have more circuits than humans by default.
Her having a dragon core isn’t stated anywhere as far as I know.

>>273463878
Not all Dragon Cores are equal, mind you. Still, even Liz has A-rank Mana and Magic Resistance due to it. Kinda makes you wonder how degraded Mordred's is since her Magic Resistance only goes up to B.
>>
>>273462513
The Abrahamic God is very loosely defined in Fate. Other than the fact that Solomon and Galahad are stated to be akin to one another as someone granted rights by God, there's not even a clear way connection between the Judeo-Christian God and the Islamic interpretation of him. That is to say, there's no way to know how Hassans compare to clergy or saints.

Mana rank doesn’t correlate to how much magical energy you have.
Medea’s CM3 profile:
>Territory Creation: A
>The ability to create a territory to gather mana is a special characteristic of the Caster class. Medea's inherent magical capacity is not that great but by expanding her territory to collect mana, it becomes possible for her to use high level magecraft.
Medea explicitly has low personal mana levels, but has A+ Rank mana stat.
>>
>>273463946
>>273464262
Also Magic resistance doesn’t correlate to the mana stat or how much mana you have, since Gilgamesh has no magic resistance despite having absurd mana levels according to Nasu (though this could be because he is rejecting his divinity, which comes with a bunch of assorted skills).
>>
>>273463103
>In Fate, Lancelot is the strongest
Honestly really doubt that's the case anymore. He's suffered considerably since his introduction when it comes to his portrayal. Lancelot is a surprisingly low mystery Servant for his class, even when compared to some of his colleagues at the Round Table like Artoria.

He's super good at fighting. That's it. He managed to fight Gawain for half a day until his Numeral of the Saint deactivated, at which point he won. He's a turbo-gorilla who's only good at fighting and nothing else. He's weak against mental attacks; hesitation and self-doubt are his greatest enemies. This is why he works so well as a Berkerker. No need to think, can't even communicate properly, he just ungabungas until the enemy's dead. It's his most optimal state.

He'd take Archer Herc more seriously and use more optimal tactics. How seriously he DOES take the fight is anyone's guess, but he definitely would treat Archer with more respect.

Also, Saber is the better class in a raw fight.
>>
>>273464467
It isn't a "real" Excalibur, the Throne manifests it as one of his many abilities. Richard (real Richard) claimed the sword(s) he carried were in fact the actual Excalibur, the Throne is just making his Arthurian-boo autism into a usable skill.
>>
>>273464426
That's what I mean, skill seems to be his only outstanding asset and that tends to play second-hand to pure rank and mystery power in Fate. Even just recently Percival demonstrated the the ability to make a miracle without even having to sacrifice his own life (better than Roland's) which allowed him to punch WAAAAAY above his weight class. If that's just Percival, who is Galahad's n#2, imagine the kinda shit that guy can pull. Artoria similarly has that kind of mythic-level stuff. Meanwhile Lancelot swings a sword really good, and even got taken out by Agravain. Dude needs a buff.

>>273464630
The downside to such a strong blessing is usually that it's got a big flaw. Achilles is the fastest Servant among everybody for example, but because of that anybody who sees him use his full speed will immediately know who he is and know to target his heel. Assuming they can hit it anyway.

Samson is the same. He's complete bullshit OP, but is countered by the fact that anybody who can ID him will know immediately to have a woman cut off his hair. He doesn't even get to really resist it either, ordinary scissors would do the trick.

Extra Robin never even was Robin, I really hate that. There is a whole legend about Robin Hood and his sherwood's gang who stole from the rich and gave to the poor. He's potentionally can be an interesting servant for protagonist since he isn't really broken in any way, just a simple man but with dirty tricks. But for some reason Nasu decided to make an OC and don't use almost nothing from original story.
>>
Why does Richard have super speed? The fuck does that got to do with his legends?
>>
>>273464773
If that were true, both Musashi and Dorothea would have been able to cut his hair as women with more skill and dexterity than Dayu but in the cinematic he proved to be faster than Musashi and Takeru. But the strategy was that it was specifically the woman he trusted, as well as doing it for the purpose of saving him, so it is not believable that any woman could cut his hair. Such specific conditions I don't see that it can be repeated enough to call it a huge weakness.

I still don't get why the Round Table belongs to Galahad. Shouldn't it belong to Kimg Arthur? So does that mean Galahad is the true leader of the Round Table? And what does it mean that Galahad's NP summons the walls of Camelot? So Galahad is the master of Camelot as well? What does that make King Arrhur then?
>>
>>273465879
What is Galahad’s abilities in the myth then?
>>
>>273465933
He's the purest one and the only one worthy enough to obtain the Holy Grail. It was originally Percival, but the someone went "Nah, fuck that guy, my OC is way better." Which, incidentally, is the entire Round Table.
>>
>>273465879
Galahad "completed" the Round Table by sitting in the last empty seat, or something.
>>
There also seems to be the sense that Galahad wasn't loyal to King Arthur, but only to God. He doesn't seem to feel anything towards King Arthur.
>>
>>273465879
>>273465973
Galahad sits in the Siege Perilous. At the RT, Arthur is no greater than any other knight. Only the Siege Perilous, for the greatest knight, has authority, and it's a moral authority (though "siege" originally meant "throne").
>>
>>273465959
Nasu gave Percival runner-up in that Galahad and he found the Grail, but Galahad returned it to heaven while Percy stayed behind to serve as custodian of the Lance of Longinus. One in heaven, one on earth.
>>
>>273466258
That explanation doesn't seem to entirely fly in Fate. While Galahad is wanked up as the greatest of knights, it's made abundantly clear that the Round Table exists for King Arthur. So much so that half the Round Table break down in tears when they sense Saber's presense for their abject failure towards her.
>>
>>273466333
It may or may not, but that's the myth. Arthur isn't even hugely relevant as a great warrior in proper Arthurian legend, he is important as the one who founded the RT and its base in Camelot, but he's only maybe upper mid-tier among the knights. Tristan, or Lancelot are usually wanked as the strongest. Gawain is wanked as strong, but his role in most myths is to be a thug fucking up and failing at chivalry. The highest authority of the RT and the one it is meant for is Galahad (or Perceval in older myths), because he completes the Grail Quest, Merlin even reserved his seat for him when it was first founded because that was part of why, to find the grail. Everybody else failed it, including Arthur. There's like 150 knights who try, and only Galahad succeeds (followed by Perceval and Bors).
>>
Nasu took a lot of inspiration from White in regards to Galahad. Whilst not as extreme as White's take, the idea that Galahad was pure to the point of being inhuman was clearly inspired by White's portrayal of Galahad being so perfect that no one wanted to be around him due to his utter lack of tact or social grace. White saw absolute purity as not necessarily a good thing.

In Fate, Galahad was born for the explicit purpose of finding the Holy Grail and returning it to God. The Empty Seat was empty because it was preordained that he would take his seat on it, so one could say that it existed primarily for the sake of fulfilling this prophecy. It almost seems as though Camelot, the Round Table and even King Arthur were just tools so that Galahad could eventually fulfill his purpose.

Galahad was sent by King Arthur to fibd the Holy Grail so that it may be used to save the kingdom, but Galahad did not seek it out for the King. He alone knew that the Holy Grail would never be granted to Arthur. Perhaps he even knew what would become of Camelot in its final years. He found the Grail, returned it to Heaven and ascended along with it. Shortly thereafter, Percival died, the Round Table fell apart and King Arthur wept as she saw everything fall to ruin.
>>
>>273466333
It's a moral and religious authority, Galahad is literally such a massive turbovirgin icon of virtue that he directly ascended to heaven as a reward for achieving the grail. The Round Table exists to support Arthur/Saber, and Saber is undeniably their King of Knights and the leader they emulate, but none of them would deny that Galahad is the holiest amongst them. It's kind of hard for Saber to hold that title, what with the whole "being a terrible husband (female) to your political marriage wife, accidentally fathering(female) a bastard child with your half-sister who grows up and tries to kill you, and having soap opera drama with a goddamn Frenchman fucking your wife and feeling guilty about it"

Galahad looks at all that messy soap opera shit and says "later nerds, virginity rocks" and skips dying to just go straight to fucking heaven

>>273466684
I mean a lot of the myth is just retcons after retcons. What Nasu does is try to reconciliate later stories with earlier ones while sort of evening out a lot of the blatant biases and mary sueisms of later takes.
>>
>>273466715
That's just your interpretation. In terms of how Nasu wrote them, he still attempts to present Saber as a paragon of chivalry and virtue. You just choose to interpret her in a worse light because it falls more in line with classic Arthurian stories. In order to justify Galahad's existence and actions in the major stories, Saber has to be a piece of shit worthless king in your eyes.

Any famous knight of the round is a mary sue. Most Knights of the Round are basically wanked by saying they're either:

or
>This knight is better and cooler than the guy who's better and cooler than King Arthur
Gawain, Lancelot, Tristan, Percival, Galahad, they were all like this.

Chivalry, yes. Christian virtue absolutely not, and in fact Saber's greatest struggles are the burden of kingship and head of state and how that is often at odds with the "right" choice.
Are you forgetting that even in Fate/, the round table is ultimately split by the public revelations of Guinevere's infidelity? And again, even in Fate/, Galahad/Mash openly harasses Lancelot for being a scumbag unable to keep his french cock in his pants and being responsible for the Round Table falling apart?

Galahad being such a turbovirgin icon of virtue despite Lancelot being his father is no accident, the contrast couldn't be clearer.

Gawain has a wife? Why didn’t he mention her?

Nasu doesn't understand or care about Christian virtue so I doubt it was a massive concern for him.

In fact, here's my prediction: When we finally see what Galahad's deal was in FGO, Nasu will reveal that he always knew that Camelot would fall, and at the moment he returned the Holy Grail to Heaven, he'll have accidentally seen a vision of King Arthur alone on a hill of corpses. And his final emotion that continues to haunt him in all of his summonings was regret and self-derision as a knight who has only ever betrayed his king. Screencap this.

in both Le Morte d'Arthur and Nasu's works, Arthur struggling with kingship is a major element. Uniting Britain's warring lands as the shining knight in armor came much easier than ruling it and navigating the perils of court and politics. Uther Pendragon was a politician. Saber/Arthur is not, and she ultimately dies as a result.

You're also severely downplaying how severe a sin incest was and how Mordred's birth leading to Arthur's downfall is karmic retribution. The fact Morgause was much older than young Arthur and basically cradle robbed him to get pregnant on purpose so her child could inherit is irrelevant, even teenage Arthur is seen as responsible for banging his half-sister. Fate/ actually goes out of its way to whitewash Arthur as much as possible for the purpose of being an eroge with a virgin heroine, so Morgan stealing cum from a magic incubus futa cock comes across as more absurdist than anything else, but Mordred is still a sin for Arthur and means he can never be as virtuous and untainted Galahad
>>
>Morgan is actually three people
What the fuck was Nasu thinking?
>>273467005
Wasn't Prototype Arthur aka Male Saber raped too with his Male Mordred being completely Psycho for him?
>>
>>273467005
None of that actually matters. You're conflating what you believe Nasu should be doing with what he's actually doing. What are you expecting from a Japanese writer who made King Arthur a girl with a laser sword?
>>
>>273467046
>Wasn't Prototype Arthur aka Male Saber raped too with his Male Mordred being completely Psycho for him?
That's how the actual myths and Once and Future King play out, yes.
>>
>>273466790
>He is the only strong knight that isn’t a Mary Sue
Tristan clowns on him in like 70-80% of the myths anon.
>>
>>273467052
>You're conflating what you believe Nasu should be doing with what he's actually doing.
You have already been told what Nasu's doing, bro. Did you not play Camelot?
>>273466896
Look at the quote in pic related. It's literally Galahad chewing out Lancelot via Mash

Kid & Caster are more calm, Archer is the peak of his arrogance. That's why being classless is CCC makes him less prideful.

Cu didn't have a causality rewriting attack in myth either so whatever
>>
>>273467079
Do you actually believe that Galahad is going to be an absolute perfect paragon of flawlessness? How much of Nasu's stories have you read? No one's perfect. If anything, it's usually the "perfect" ones that have the most issues. Like at Solomon.
>>
>>273465456
>that can eventually let him outspeed Achilles
No he can't. Achilles is the fastest Servant in this franchise as shown by his NP

I wonder how Shirou would react to learning Gil got summoned again while he was off being a Seigi no Mikata. Even Rin gets in on the action.
>>
>>273466715
Isn't Galahad a bustard born from rape? How exactly is that holy?
>>
>>273467107
Being too "perfect" causing him to be distanced and unempathetic towards regular people is literally a plot point in T.H White's The Once and Future King, the book that Nasu has largely copied the characterization of most Camelot members from. You're not clever for predicting "UH GALAHAD WILL HAVE PROBLEMS FROM BEING TOO PERFECT!" when people have known and expected that to be the case all along.

Hell, we've already seen that Once and Future King characterization come up with Galahad not caring enough to help fix the lostbelts, the only time he intervenes is when his turbovirgin omega-purity status is threatened in Fairy Camelot, where he beats the shit out of Boggart to protect Mash's chastity even while she's enchanted. Galahad's not gonna let his turbovirgin Wizard status be threatened by any barbed dicks
>>
>>273466983
Because now that his death his marriage oaths don't apply anymore (until death do us part) so he doesn't care anymore.

Once again, the church ruins everything. We could have been the cool timeline!

>>273467161
>Isn't Galahad a bustard born from rape? How exactly is that holy?
it's a 5th century iron age story, men can't be raped and Galahad's birth was prophesized by her father. Also, considering both Lancelot and Elaine were unwed virgins at the time, and Lancelot's only objection to a marriage was "UH, WELL ACTUALLY I'M IN LOVE WITH KING ARTHUR'S WIFE!" he can't exactly protest it too hard
>>
>>273467046
>Morgan is actually three people
It's hilarious hiw he made her the biggest schizo (true) in all of type moon
>>
>>273467067
And Tristan is a Mary Sue, so what’s your point

I thought he didn’t mention his wife because she is terrible or something

It's technically not something he made up completely. In the earliest known stories featuring Morgan, she was actually an ally to King Arthur who was nothing but helpful towards him. A much later story presented her as Arthur's sister who was on good terms with him. As Morgan became increasingly sensual in nature, she was eventually turned into a villainous figure by the French. Several stories also portray Morgan or Morgause as the Lady of the Lake as well.

As a hallmark of Nasu's Arthurian mythos is to reconcile various contradictory stories into a single history, picking things he likes and throwing out what he doesn't, he decided to combine all versions of Morgan into a single entity. The benevolent fae goddess, the kindly sister and the evil witch. All of them are legitimate portrayals of Morgan and Nasu decided to use them all.
>>
Also, I interpret Nasu turning King Arthur into such a powerful and saintly warrior as him trying to reconcile the earliest Pre-Morte stories with the later Post-Morte ones. Very early mythologized tales of King Arthur often presented him saint-like. He carried a blessed shield with the Virgin Mary's face painted on it and performed miraculous deeds across the lands. Before he became the King of Cucks who did nothing all day while half a dozen mary sues showed up to do whatever, he was an adventurer king who smote demons and slayed dragons.

Pretty impressive for a guy whose earliest known stories was about how he lost a battle and died.

>>273467335
Morgause is arthur's sister and mother of Mordred. Morgana Le Fay is the enchantress and is a separate character entirely in most versions. Morgause was Queen of Orkney but in an unhappy marriage, and most notably is GAWAIN'S MOTHER too. She's also decades older than Arthur, hence her child being a similar age to him, she nightcrawlered him as a teen to get pregnant once young Arthur was proclaimed Uther's heir and stopped being a ward raised with Kay.

either out of laziness or convenience to consolidate characters, and the fact their names are kinda similar, Morgause and Morgan Le Fay are sometimes combined into one character, but this dramatically changes the dynamic.
>>
>>273467190
Now I want to know what his wife is like
>>
>>273467437
I find it weird tgat he throw the Lady if the Lake in there as well
>>
>>273467437
Yeah, the point is Nasu cherry-picks the parts he thinks are coolest and combines them forvhis version. The thing with Morgan is that he liked three different mutually exclusive versions of Morgan and turned her into a schizo so he could have all of them.
>>
>Mordred is both Gawain's half brother and cousin

Because, again, Morgan was sometimes the Lady of the Lake as well. In fact, Morgan being the Lady of the Lake seems to mostly predate her being a villain.
>>
>>273467483
I reckon Merlin not even existing in the Arthurian legend in the first place.
How old is Morgan in those legends? Is she celtic era?
>>
>>273467539
I think Merlin existed in some form since the Historia Regum Britanniae, so I'm pretty sure he predates the earliest depiction of Morgan.
>>
>>273467483
>Morgan was sometimes the Lady of the Lake as well
Where did you get this?
>>
>>273467660
In the Historia Regum Britanniae, when Arthur is dying and brought to Avalon, he's received by Morgen who revives him. It's unknown whether this was the inspiration of the Lady of the Lake character. However, as the myths of King Arthur were elaborated on by many different individuals across the centuries, Morgan's role has pretty much gone through dozens of different interpretations. Even now, historians aren't really sure if Morgan and the Lady are meant to be the same or different individuals.
>>
>>273467539
Merlin existed before Arthurian Mythos but as a legendary druid rather then a courtly wizard. As for Morgan, she was likely "inspired" by Irish Goddess Morrígan so she too should pre date Arthur and by roughly 500 years no less
>>
>>273467166
>Galahad's not gonna let his turbovirgin Wizard status be threatened by any barbed dicks
Lol this is your headcanon, there is no proof of your words.

>>273467333
Gawain is a ToT?! I certainly didn't expect that
>>
>>273467845
Didn't Arthur existed in Celtic Tradition as a Breton warlord?
>>
>>273467909
I don't know about Celtic Tradition but many historians do agree that Arthur himself most likely did exists during the early 6th century just like the Tojan War did actually occur around the end of the Bronze Age. He was probably just a very successful British warlord who defeated lots of saxon invaders and not some dragon girl with a magical sword

>>273455835
You can't answer that question in TM because Nasu went full autistic about his lore with this prime species shit.

He's is stronger because he fucked morgasue and made gaheris seethe
I wonder if gaheris will be the opposite of agravain. A mama's boy

I think the blonde girl who wants to destroy magecraft by exposing It to the wrold is pretty based
I hope she succeds in her plan in the end when they use Richard's NP to destroy the nuke the American goverment is dropping on snowfield

Galahad alter fucks prostitutes

Galahad Alter is almost certainly Sir Balin doing a Galahad impersonation.

>>273467909
Much of the earliest writings about King Arthur were about his twelve battles (which are only mentioned but not really described and have no clear dates), culminating in his defeat at the tenth. At some point, he became memed into a warrior who went around slaying monsters and shit. When Nasu compared him to Heracles, he didn't just pull it out of his ass. King Arthur was a mighty hero who protected Britain not just from invaders, but supernatural threats all over the British Isles. By the 11th Century, he'd become memed into a full-blown messianic figure, a divine protector of Britain.

The Knights of the Round Table weren't really a thing until the 12th Century, and they were mostly a French thing.

Beings of the planet are not quite just their Camelot selves. We knew for a long time Merlin has been around "rising an destroying kingdoms" and got cold feet in his latest beat. Also Morgan fucked Ceasar which would be impossible with the one born in VI AD.
With Morgan's emphasis on three, and also being the Morrigan. There's a chance she's actually the archetype of the great feminine (the "triple goddess"). Who knows.

We still had a equivalent since Kay, Gawain and I think Percival preceded the table too. (Though they had different names)

Reminder Morgan's the true ruler of Britain according to Garden of Avalon.

His tastes ate controversial, he likes young girls but also he love big breasts, the bigger the better, he was fine with Passionlip's badonkas.
