Saber was overwhelming Cu in their initial encounter for a couple of reasons. Invisible air put her in a pretty good position when it came to just a pure melee fight since it not only increased her striking power, it made her sword invisible, making it harder for Cu to fight against especially in a first encounter. On top of that, Kotomine is not only pretty sub par as a magus in terms of mana, but made Cu hold back physically with that command seal. Emiya may have survived, the thrown Gae Bolg, but not only did it require all of his mana and broke his shield completely, it left him completely defenseless while Cu was still fairly fine. Also, that shield he pulled out was meant to stop any projectile without even breaking a single shield.
kotomine being a sub par mage didn't nerf cu...cu is pretty mana efficient anyway...he was nerfed bu the cs which again begs the question why did he try to use gae blog if he was under cs
The concept behind Lancer's character is apparently 'wishes don't come true'. Thus like how his spear is fated to hit, he will not get a truly happy ending.
@@jamaldavis831 Late but basically he was destined for greatness but would die young. Since he didnt go out of his way to defy this that's why his luck is low. He embraced his destiny instead of trying to change it like Artoria.
Cu is one of the few servants that being 1 of the 7 basic classes propably limits him more than powering him up. Ironically Gilgamesh and Emiya who he mutually hates fall in the same category. That E Luck will always be his partner in life.
Well to be fair, the classes limits them all, if they aren't weak enough already. If Hercules wasn't in any class, but fully summoned, he would have God Hand AND Nine Lives and many of the skills his Archer self would have. Artoria would have access to both Excalibur AND Rhongomyniad. You get the idea.
But Cu and Gilgamesh fit for all basic classes other than assassin ( even though gil is relatively mediocre in skill in many of them) and Emiya's fighting style and techniques even as an archer combine the fighting style amd techniques of all the basic classes other than a rider's. Hercules does also fit in the category fitting for all other basic classes other than a caster and has even become an Avenger-Archer hybrid class in F/SF (though avenger was a class forced in him by his master's manipulation) but Artoria only feats for saber, lancer and rider
the order from Kirei was "fight, discover the abilities and come back alive no matter what"... well, he can kill other servants while bound by that comand, but if there is a chance of him losing, he needs to run. So this explain the use of the NP and him running afterwards
Emiya: " HAHAHA, HEY CU CHIUAUA, COME WATCH THIS, THEY 'RE TALKING ABOUT YOUR GAY BULGE, JUST TRY NOT TO FALL AND DIE WALKING UP THE STAIRS, AGAIN HAHAHAHAHA!"
uchiha172 Ridiculous actually. You'd think Gil would have gotten annoyed. Unless he thought the dodging was fun to watch. He should have used Enkidu after five minutes then rained weapons on him
+Renato T. I’m not sure what you are implying so I’ll refrain from going on a tirade.Are you saying that Cu dodged and avoided Enkidu entirely for those whole 12 hours(which is a perfectly reasonable assumption to make) or that Enkidu did bind Cu but he then escaped somehow?
Honestly, I'm just going with the anime here, which is pretty bad nowadays. I don't remember if the VN goes on about their fight, but in the anime it ends when Lancer gets chained by Enkidu. But the VN states the fight lasted 12 hours, and Gil is not that patient, so he somehow must have kept dodging from Enkidu time and time again (since with his high divinity, no way he could get free) while putting some degree of pressure on Gil (though he did come out of the fight without injuries).
Yondu's Needle needs active control thru the whistle, Lancer's Gae Bolg does not. Once he activates the NP, everything else is done by the spear itself.
It directly alters destiny itself, so once used, it will pierce your heart. The throw was more of a formality. So it cannot be considered a "homing" spear since destiny is being altered, not the spear following the target. The spear is continually fulfilling the conditions of "piercing the heart" so much it controls causality and fate itself. So let's say Saber was behind walls, the spear will either redirect itself to an open space, or like Archer's case, punch through barrier like Rho Aias (which is insanely strong for a barrier). A "homing" spear would just stop if it detects it hit something and only follows the target. What Gae Bolg does is beyond obsession of ALWAYS hitting the heart.
My suggestions Goetia Tamamo-No-Mae Ibn Gabriol Arturia pendragon Oda Nobunaga Lu-Bu Frankenstein Cleopatra Sakura Matou Jeanne of D'arc Iskander EMIYA Alter Medea Altera
I love me some altera. Spoilers if you care. titan altera is so sweet and her redemption is awesome. Hero altera is just an all around badass with a freaking elemental lightsaber and is incredibly devoted. Child Altera is too cute for me to function (is this a good civilization or a bad civilization)
Tank lancer servant (a solid servant) if you don't have any 4 star lancer like raikou or lancer alter as main. Cu will never fail you. Scathach is babe but we know that she wants Cu to eat her :^)
The Luck stat determines how well the person can chance or evade negative predetermined events, example would be cu having E rank luck because he had a prophecy telling that he would die horribly at a young age, and... well, he died horribly at a young age - (same with Karna)
I heard alot of bullshit about saber surviving and still feel like its a mistake on typemoons part. You DONT bring in something as insane and as definitive as causality and then just go :durr-hur-hur saber got lucky thats why she alive. They shoulda deviated from the legend more (like they always do) and just made the spear have a lock on system. Missing woulda been more understandable and less bullshitty then dumb luck
For the argument of why Cu would use gae bolg against Artoria when he was ordered not to kill is not that Artoria got lucky, but that gae bolg actually means "Cu's target is pierced before he thrusts" not "The enemy's heart is pierced before he thrusts". The nuance being that it doesn't always pierce the heart, that's just the most effective spot to aim for in most fights, but instead he can choose where to aim. So he spared Artoria because his orders were to not kill. Just my layman's thoughts. Idk if there's a deeper lore reason as to why it's only able to aim for the heart.
Good Video Tsiah IV. I do really enjoy how you explain this character. Can you do Elizabeth Bathory next. It would be interesting to see how you explain would her skills and abilities, like Battle continuation, territorial creation and her double Summon skill while being under the Sabres class, as well as being a servant from fate extra. And yes I am aware of that she's from fate extra CCC but I still believe it's still kind of counts as it holds fate extra in the title. If not could you explain how Saint Graph works because it fells like make it almost bullshit anything as long as they explain that someone change their Saint Graph, like Jeanne alter, Kiyhoime(swimsuit) and all the Artoria's, during or after summoning. anyway I cannot wait to see your next video 😄.
The dumbest thing about the Nasuverse is that Gae Bolg is only a B+ class NP because Cu can upgrade it to A+. if the spear itself is already A class then Cu could buff it higher or even up to EX so the spear got nerfed. The downside is that It's always a B+ NP outside of the ability to buff it with runes. It's even more annoying that everything new nowadays is at least an A rank NP.
I don't know about turning Gae Bolg into EX rank, but I know what you mean there. The spear isn't just a powerful attack, but also a symbol of his strength as a hero. To have it classified at B-B+ rank would mean that he'd be like a B lister, except he's not. The spear almost penetrated through a legendary shield specifically designed to block any projectile with impunity in spite of the rank. This was without buffing the spear for more power too. His abilities as a hero are also quite insane considering he held off Gilgamesh for about half a day when Herc died in a matter of minutes. Cu's abilities are rather powerful, but the stats don't really reflect what is being shown.
As much as I love how Cu is animated, Gae Bolg itself is taking retrocausality and turning it into an ability. It's stupid. Retrocausality is a thought experiment and Gae Bolg basically takes any form of agency away from the rest of existence and relies on a Grail-specific stat for it to maybe or maybe not work as intended. And how? It just works. That's all, it just works. It's not really that Saber has plot armor, but that Gae Bolg is author-induced stupidity. And sadly, it's canon.
Divine Spirits are the Gods in the fate universe,gods like Amaterasu and Lugh for example.Divine Spirits have an ability known as “Authority” which allows them to manipulate time,space,cause and effect or anything they want within the confines of the planet.Gae Bolg itself isn’t what reverses causality,this is an ability Cu perfected USING Gae Bolg.Cu is able to reverse causality because he has the blood of Lugh in him,a divine spirit.Him reversing causality is just him using a weaker version of the “Authority” that Divine Spirits have,I hope this helps.
Honestly, one problem I have with how servants work in the nasuverse is that they are just clones created by the holy grail, and they just die when the war is over. It makes me feel like the character development is meaningless.
Not quite, they're still carbon copies of the real deal, although nerfed by the grail war rules. When they die, the original Heroic Spirit absorbs *everything* the copy learned and experienced, as if he himself lived it. The development is still there. The whole "their new summoning don't get to have the memory from previous wars" only applies because of the limitations of Fuyuki's Grail War rules. In Grand Order for example they do remember stuff.
@Tsiah IV Bro I was sittin in my living room tonight thining to myself about the lancer vid you did for Karna. Then that got me thinking could you do one for Scáthach Chu Chuulain's master? Cause you mention her here ^^
Maybe it was a combination of Lancer's shit luck + Artoria's high luck + Kirei ordering Lancer to only observe the other Servants that cause Lancer's Gay Bulge (deliberate typo) to not properly pierce Artoria (deliberate innuendo) so that she would have been sufficiently undamaged for Shirou to become a waifu~
This video is awesome could you make a video about Alexander The Great Aka rider from fate zero. A video about him would be great especially made by you would be awesome.
Having listened to the actual Epic, How have they not made beating the joy out of your life permanently an Ability? That just mean, seriously something where you wish you would have been killed.
I thought Kirei's order was not "Fight the Servant once, retreat, and fight again later", but "If Gae Bolg doesn't kill, retreat". When Saber deflects Gae Bolg, Lancer says "If I use that move, it has to be fatal or I'm in trouble...You dodged my spear, so he's ordering me home". Lancer's initial objective is to observe the enemy Servants, but there was no order against killing them if possible
From the novel "Lancer was under the Command Spell's bind. To learn his enemies' strengths, his Master told Lancer, "Fight against everyone. But do not defeat them. Survive your first battle against any opponent." Also, before my point gets misconstrued, defeat does mean kill in this context. He's in trouble because he used his phantasm without killing her, thus revealing his strengths and weaknesses. Notice how she immediately recognized who he was afterwards. "Gae Bolg...You're Ireland's Child of Light." An investment without return.
Honestly I wish they redid his parameters as they're way too mediocre for a guy who's supposedly up there with the likes of Artoria. Your don't need to even sub in his Alter version's parameters, just give him his Prototype version's parameters and his Fate Extra's A-rank Endurance and boom, you got very solid stats.
9:36 - 9:41 Why would Emiya be laughing at that, Emiya Archer got hit by that in UBW and his Rho Aias barely saved his arm and got his ass whooped in the process (at least that's what the anime told me). So you plan on covering Cu's stats from his other classes such as when he's summoned as a Caster? This was pretty cool because 1) It's another example of how to pronounce Cu's fucking name, and 2) It shows that Cu isn't a little bitch. I say this because to my knowledge, Cu gets bodied in every route of Fate/Stay Night before doing anything real noteworthy. He most certainly got punked in the Fate route and he at least gave Emiya Archer a good shake up in UBW. I haven't read it, but from what I've heard everyone gets fucked beyond belief in Heaven's Feel so it might not be his fault there. At least Cu does something though unlike Medusa, she gets punked even harder until Heaven's Feel rolls around which sounds like a massive contradiction. The only suggestion i could make would be to cover something that the other big Fate channels have not covered yet. For example, OtakuDaiKun has done basic lore videos on stuff like the routes for Tsukuhime and Fate/Stay Night as well as lore videos for characters like Cu and Artorias. That might be difficult to think of something, but if no one's covered it, jump on that shit. I made a suggestion at some point about making videos about "If BLANK character from another series was a servant in Fate, what would their stats/skills/class(s)/Noble Phantasm/Legend be?" Maybe you could make up a backstory as if they really did exists in Fate/Earth's past/future as to why they're a Fate servant or if they were alive in the Fate universe, when were they around and how could they fit in as opposed to being a 100% "what if" scenario. I hope that made sense.
If we're doing Fate Extra next, then we gotta talk about Lu Bu, Kiara and EMIYA Alter. I know Kiara isn't a Servant technically...buuuuuut.....come on man, she too fine.
I've seen it. I wouldn't go as far as saying he's invulnerable to projectiles, but more so Cu's high projectile defense + the fact that assassin isn't an actual archer nullified the attacks.
I'm really not sure what "mana in the air is frozen" means, as in VN it seems like artful description. Also i think your video on magical energy contradicts some points about this. It doesnt matter if mana in the air is frozen that much, individuals and servants can still use their internal mana storage to use abilities, spells etc. And I dont think the "blue" part was meant to be freezing mana in the air, it's just artistic representation of timey-wimey reversal. In fact, i think first we saw Saber predicting the outcome with instinct, but then it showed how it actually happened perhaps. Also the show itself (Rin) comments on how he is using massive amount of mana when he prepares his NP and it is all glowy. So how is he not using mana? "Energy he has in his body" is his mana. And like almost every other servant they can only really spam as much mana as their master provides in short time. But if he does freeze mana in the air, it is likely because he draws the mana from the air into his NP, which again contradicts you saying he doesn't use mana in the air, but from his body. There seems to be some confusion.
If cu gae bolg has a almost 100% chance to hit his target then why use it on a servant ? why not use it on a master, It makes things easier for him than use it on a servant who can block or dodge it >.>
Lancer deserved better, my mans just gave up in heaven's touch, he lost all his pride, and reason to try, I really want a timeline where lancer doesn't suffer from betrayal, humiliation, and sorrow.
I know it might be a lot to ask, but could you make a vid about what Fate/Stay is all about? I've seen it here and there, but never our time into it. What makes it so interesting, or what makes it something you keep coming back to?
So I have 2 cu chulainn that are both Lancers in FGO? I'm so confused because one has 7000 atk and one has 7200. Then one is 10000 hp, one is 9000hp...........
The one with 7,000 ATK is from Fate/Prototype. He was originally supposed to be the first version of Cu Chulainn before he got remodeled into the guy in the video. The one with 7,200 is the guy in the video. He's from Fate/Stay Night. Same character, but they changed some aspects about his demeanor and appearance.
It would still hit karna, because karna's armor blocks everything *uncoming* to him, but not anything inside him, or things that effect where his armor doesnt cover. Vlad III from /extra could hit Karna from the inside. Cu's attack is something that only hits the heart, he doesn't actually 'strike' or 'attack'.
not a good fight...karna honestly holds almost every advantage...stronger NPs, better range, far more offensive power, far better defense, better stats, arguably better skills, protection from sun demigods lower than his divinity...the only chance cu has is if he uses gae blog which has terrible range and nothing karna can't stay out of...honestly karna takes this 9/10
They are relatively similar and I’m not sure fire could hurt both of them so it would most likely be more about who is better with the spear. I would say Cu does have a pretty good chance at beating him.
It really depends on how Gae Bolg interacts with Karna's armor. If he can't use Gae Bolg to deal the damage to kill Karna, then Karna definitely holds a huge advantage in power. Cu also doesn't really have the means to take any of Karna's NPs.
Update: Guys, Saber actually had B Rank Luck at the time. The plot armor is powerful.
damn you plot armor!!!! and E Rank luck lol
I think her A rank Instinct might have been what saved her
Phantom117 B Yea, since that's what save her from the REGEND
And A rank in them tits I would guess.
A something
Finally someone who has good pronunciation of Cú and Scáthach, as an Irish person I respect the effort.
Cu was wrong but at least he did well with Scathach
One tiny detail from the original myth: Cu tied himself to said rock with his own entrails! What a badass!
Saber was overwhelming Cu in their initial encounter for a couple of reasons. Invisible air put her in a pretty good position when it came to just a pure melee fight since it not only increased her striking power, it made her sword invisible, making it harder for Cu to fight against especially in a first encounter. On top of that, Kotomine is not only pretty sub par as a magus in terms of mana, but made Cu hold back physically with that command seal.
Emiya may have survived, the thrown Gae Bolg, but not only did it require all of his mana and broke his shield completely, it left him completely defenseless while Cu was still fairly fine. Also, that shield he pulled out was meant to stop any projectile without even breaking a single shield.
kotomine being a sub par mage didn't nerf cu...cu is pretty mana efficient anyway...he was nerfed bu the cs which again begs the question why did he try to use gae blog if he was under cs
Funny how his spear can bend reality, But not his own luck.
The concept behind Lancer's character is apparently 'wishes don't come true'. Thus like how his spear is fated to hit, he will not get a truly happy ending.
hjt091. Can you go into more detail?
@@jamaldavis831 Late but basically he was destined for greatness but would die young. Since he didnt go out of his way to defy this that's why his luck is low. He embraced his destiny instead of trying to change it like Artoria.
Cu is actually strong?! Hahaha i missed the part where he fought gil for 12 hours.
caster Cu needs more love. He literally has the power to call down the power of Odin by combining his runes. That and he is sinfully sexy
he sure got it huh
There is one shield that can block it.
Raw ass.
No ass is safe.
And somehow Mashu's shield I'm guessing her armor is apart of it
Cu is one of the few servants that being 1 of the 7 basic classes propably limits him more than powering him up. Ironically Gilgamesh and Emiya who he mutually hates fall in the same category. That E Luck will always be his partner in life.

Lancer's luck is the best kappa, the Lancer class should have "Misforutne" as one of their skills hahaha
Amine Bachir I mean it would make sense. All of them die tragicly
diarmud-suiside, cu chulain-suiside, karna got 2v1-ed
the order from Kirei was "fight, discover the abilities and come back alive no matter what"... well, he can kill other servants while bound by that comand, but if there is a chance of him losing, he needs to run. So this explain the use of the NP and him running afterwards
I bet EMIYA is watching this just laughing his ass off.
Emiya: " HAHAHA, HEY CU CHIUAUA, COME WATCH THIS, THEY 'RE TALKING ABOUT YOUR GAY BULGE, JUST TRY NOT TO FALL AND DIE WALKING UP THE STAIRS, AGAIN HAHAHAHAHA!"
Great video man, wow Lancer actually lasted 12 hours against Gilgamesh, that is crazy.
uchiha172 Ridiculous actually. You'd think Gil would have gotten annoyed. Unless he thought the dodging was fun to watch. He should have used Enkidu after five minutes then rained weapons on him
But that's the thing. He did. Cu is just that good.
+Renato T. I’m not sure what you are implying so I’ll refrain from going on a tirade.Are you saying that Cu dodged and avoided Enkidu entirely for those whole 12 hours(which is a perfectly reasonable assumption to make) or that Enkidu did bind Cu but he then escaped somehow?

And EMIYA may laugh about Gae Bolg being unblockable, but even Rho Aias wasn't able to completely stop it when thrown, so who's laughing now, Archer?
Glad to see Irish boi getting some love
I get it now....Cu's Gae bolg works just like Yondu's Needle; Except he doesn't need to whistle.
He is like Pantheon from League. He just spams that spear.
Yondu's Needle needs active control thru the whistle, Lancer's Gae Bolg does not. Once he activates the NP, everything else is done by the spear itself.
RiderShinden. Holy shit....Homing missile spear.
Wait... does the spear home-in on the target (the heart), or does the spear head teleport in the target (like how Jackie's knives work).
It directly alters destiny itself, so once used, it will pierce your heart. The throw was more of a formality. So it cannot be considered a "homing" spear since destiny is being altered, not the spear following the target. The spear is continually fulfilling the conditions of "piercing the heart" so much it controls causality and fate itself.

Lol i just nuked gilgamesh with gae bolg in archer training ground today
Having listened to the actual Epic, How have they not made beating the joy out of your life permanently an Ability? That just mean, seriously something where you wish you would have been killed.
I thought Kirei's order was not "Fight the Servant once, retreat, and fight again later", but "If Gae Bolg doesn't kill, retreat". When Saber deflects Gae Bolg, Lancer says "If I use that move, it has to be fatal or I'm in trouble...You dodged my spear, so he's ordering me home". Lancer's initial objective is to observe the enemy Servants, but there was no order against killing them if possible
From the novel
"Lancer was under the Command Spell's bind.
To learn his enemies' strengths, his Master told Lancer,
"Fight against everyone. But do not defeat them. Survive your first battle against any opponent."
Also, before my point gets misconstrued, defeat does mean kill in this context. He's in trouble because he used his phantasm without killing her, thus revealing his strengths and weaknesses. Notice how she immediately recognized who he was afterwards. "Gae Bolg...You're Ireland's Child of Light." An investment without return.
Man Cu Chulainn is just...he's the best
Actually Heroic Spirit EMIYA is the best, Cu is a close second. Speaking of which, guess whos also in Fate/Extra (It's Archer - jump on it)
Every time, every time..I sing to the ending song.
Pls do tamamo lore i had to read so much about nero in highschool that my head hurst from hearing her name
He was soo much cooler in the real myth.
Thanks for the Great video lancer is definitely my favorite servant
good choice
I wish that prototype cu could've use Gae bolg: soaring spear ing fgo and the older version used the thrust rather than the throwing version.
Honestly I wish they redid his parameters as they're way too mediocre for a guy who's supposedly up there with the likes of Artoria. Your don't need to even sub in his Alter version's parameters, just give him his Prototype version's parameters and his Fate Extra's A-rank Endurance and boom, you got very solid stats.
9:36 - 9:41 Why would Emiya be laughing at that, Emiya Archer got hit by that in UBW and his Rho Aias barely saved his arm and got his ass whooped in the process (at least that's what the anime told me).
So you plan on covering Cu's stats from his other classes such as when he's summoned as a Caster?
This was pretty cool because 1) It's another example of how to pronounce Cu's fucking name, and 2) It shows that Cu isn't a little bitch. I say this because to my knowledge, Cu gets bodied in every route of Fate/Stay Night before doing anything real noteworthy. He most certainly got punked in the Fate route and he at least gave Emiya Archer a good shake up in UBW. I haven't read it, but from what I've heard everyone gets fucked beyond belief in Heaven's Feel so it might not be his fault there. At least Cu does something though unlike Medusa, she gets punked even harder until Heaven's Feel rolls around which sounds like a massive contradiction.
The only suggestion i could make would be to cover something that the other big Fate channels have not covered yet. For example, OtakuDaiKun has done basic lore videos on stuff like the routes for Tsukuhime and Fate/Stay Night as well as lore videos for characters like Cu and Artorias. That might be difficult to think of something, but if no one's covered it, jump on that shit.
I made a suggestion at some point about making videos about "If BLANK character from another series was a servant in Fate, what would their stats/skills/class(s)/Noble Phantasm/Legend be?" Maybe you could make up a backstory as if they really did exists in Fate/Earth's past/future as to why they're a Fate servant or if they were alive in the Fate universe, when were they around and how could they fit in as opposed to being a 100% "what if" scenario. I hope that made sense.
Jesus servant
If we're doing Fate Extra next, then we gotta talk about Lu Bu, Kiara and EMIYA Alter. I know Kiara isn't a Servant technically...buuuuuut.....come on man, she too fine.
It's still random if you wanted to put in more suggestions. I was just quoting the comment. Aye, Kiara can get it.
Imagine being summoned for the Holy Grail War and your wish is just “Never make me a Lancer again”
lol
about the protection from arrows, seems like projectiles just do not hit him, period.
watch the recently aired heaven's feel movie
I've seen it. I wouldn't go as far as saying he's invulnerable to projectiles, but more so Cu's high projectile defense + the fact that assassin isn't an actual archer nullified the attacks.
Could you please make a skills AMD abilities video about Heroic Spirit Emiya. BTW amazing vid
Another great video bro 👊 keep it up
I'm really not sure what "mana in the air is frozen" means, as in VN it seems like artful description. Also i think your video on magical energy contradicts some points about this. It doesnt matter if mana in the air is frozen that much, individuals and servants can still use their internal mana storage to use abilities, spells etc.
And I dont think the "blue" part was meant to be freezing mana in the air, it's just artistic representation of timey-wimey reversal. In fact, i think first we saw Saber predicting the outcome with instinct, but then it showed how it actually happened perhaps.
Also the show itself (Rin) comments on how he is using massive amount of mana when he prepares his NP and it is all glowy. So how is he not using mana? "Energy he has in his body" is his mana. And like almost every other servant they can only really spam as much mana as their master provides in short time. But if he does freeze mana in the air, it is likely because he draws the mana from the air into his NP, which again contradicts you saying he doesn't use mana in the air, but from his body. There seems to be some confusion.
Are you planning to do some archer (shirou) ?
can you a video on Counter Guardian Emiya (Shirou and Kirisugu) and Devil Saber?
Great video I had no idea he had many servant classes
you have a new subscriber man
Shielder if possible. The woman lugging around a massive has got to raise eyebrows.
New here but I need some tsukihime vids in my life
If cu gae bolg has a almost 100% chance to hit his target then why use it on a servant ? why not use it on a master, It makes things easier for him than use it on a servant who can block or dodge it >.>
Lancer deserved better, my mans just gave up in heaven's touch, he lost all his pride, and reason to try, I really want a timeline where lancer doesn't suffer from betrayal, humiliation, and sorrow.
bad ass video bro
An let's not forget he has sexines:EX+
Cu is by far mu favorite servamt apart from Tamamo which you should do next
Best fox
Tsiah IV Can you do scathach next ?
"Irish Karna"
You mean Irish Heracles right?
I know it might be a lot to ask, but could you make a vid about what Fate/Stay is all about? I've seen it here and there, but never our time into it. What makes it so interesting, or what makes it something you keep coming back to?
That's a pretty good one. I'll hop on that.
Can u do Scatach his mentor 😍
Bro please do more of this abilities videos of the servants
Please do shirou kotomine next or jeanne d arc next
I prefer Irish Hercules
The lucknif the Irish I mean dia,him and bazzet ha e LOTS of luck also it's not fair that he has not golden rule
Need more!
Servant profile on all of the emiyas
Since he’s a half god, would the Chains of Heaven work on him?
yes and they did work on him in og fate staynight rout
DO ONE FOR SHISHOU!!!!!
So I have 2 cu chulainn that are both Lancers in FGO? I'm so confused because one has 7000 atk and one has 7200. Then one is 10000 hp, one is 9000hp...........
The one with 7,000 ATK is from Fate/Prototype. He was originally supposed to be the first version of Cu Chulainn before he got remodeled into the guy in the video.
The one with 7,200 is the guy in the video. He's from Fate/Stay Night. Same character, but they changed some aspects about his demeanor and appearance.
Tsiah IV oh okay. So. Basically the same. Lol fgo is confusing.
Cu chulainn vs karna
MUGENKAZKI that would be an awesome fight.
Almost hax endurance vs totally hax armor.
Fight of the century.
Karna would win simply due to his armor
It would still hit karna, because karna's armor blocks everything *uncoming* to him, but not anything inside him, or things that effect where his armor doesnt cover. Vlad III from /extra could hit Karna from the inside. Cu's attack is something that only hits the heart, he doesn't actually 'strike' or 'attack'.
not a good fight...karna honestly holds almost every advantage...stronger NPs, better range, far more offensive power, far better defense, better stats, arguably better skills, protection from sun demigods lower than his divinity...the only chance cu has is if he uses gae blog which has terrible range and nothing karna can't stay out of...honestly karna takes this 9/10
Can we get a fate servant profilw for my boi Gil?
Proto Lancer has better luck but lacks battle continuation
この時代のチャンピオンさぁ、掴めNo.One!おん🎸❤️💚❣️😺💙🎸
Does cu have a chance to beat karna
MUGENKAZKI hmm I'm not sure I'd say 50/50 chance he can
They are relatively similar and I’m not sure fire could hurt both of them so it would most likely be more about who is better with the spear. I would say Cu does have a pretty good chance at beating him.
It really depends on how Gae Bolg interacts with Karna's armor. If he can't use Gae Bolg to deal the damage to kill Karna, then Karna definitely holds a huge advantage in power. Cu also doesn't really have the means to take any of Karna's NPs.
Ferris pillarblade the first All very true that would be an interesting battle.
I call it even.
is your ending music Evergrey?
Song is Save Our last Goodbye by Disturbed

How do you get archer cu
In his myth he was really good with a slingshot. He even killed 400 soldiers with just one shot
