"Astolfo possesses various magical equipment which he employs throughout his adventures. His magic lance can knock his opponents from their horses with the slightest touch, and his magic book contains spells capable of breaking any enchantment. He also owns a magic horn whose blast is so loud that it causes all enemies to flee in terror and rides upon a horse named Rabicano. This magical horse is made of hurricane and flame, feeds on air and it treads so lightly that it doesn't leave footprints in the sand, and when it runs at full speed it can run faster than an arrow." From Orlando Furias
I feel this needs to be stated, but Astolfo doesn't simply dress as a girl since its "cute", in fact, he has a MAJOR story involving Roland of the Paladins, where he had to dress as a girl to calm down a raging (and nude) Roland.
The story needs to be more well-known, however there isn't much info available online and people will/may/can only know of Astolfo through the Fate show.
Actually, there is a valid reason for him being a trap, when his cousin Roland was in a rampage heartbroken because his wife abandoned him, Asltolfo try to calm him down ,crossdressing as a woman
Astolfo crossdressed as girl so that he could capture and calm down his friend Roland that was going berserk after getting rejected by a women that he fell in "love" with.
Sorry, but I don't think he beats Asuramaru on that tittle: vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/owarinoseraph/images/b/bc/Seraph_of_the_End_-_Asuramaru_%28Anime%29.png/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/218?cb=20150421191430
Alex Bamberger there was a poll somewhere in Asia(can't remember specifically) about best heroine and astolfo won. Most likely a mistake and theu didn't know he was a boy, tho technically there is some discussion on his true gender since apparently in a lore book or something it calls his gender into question.
I didn't like Astolfo because of the whole fanbase overemphasizing the trap aspect, but when I actually saw him in the show, his personality grew on me and his noble spirit was refreshing to see an anime, someone doing good for the sake of good, never regretting it. So yeah, while he might be one of the weaker servants, his personality was just what was needed for the show and his master Sieg, and I personally enjoy him as a character.
Astolfo is certainly not the strongest Rider in terms of actual stats, he does however have a lot of versatility which makes him useful to mould and fit into many situations... in a way it makes him good for the 7 on 7 grand war in Apocrypha as a result, he's not a front-line servant but he's good for hit and run and general support... not to mention the grimoire making him effectively immune to the majority of magic that masters and servants can use. if this was a genuine 'deathmatch' grail war i'm a little more unsure on how well Astolfo would do, it'd probably take more of a wait and see approach and changing his tactics based off of that with his multiple NP's and perhaps tapping into his monstrous strength if needed... the issue would be his personality... his bubbly and friendly attitude and generally outgoing nature (he WAS an adventurer after all) would probably make him slip up and get caught with his pants down. (not in that way... ) And a servants general attitude can certainly affect battles very heavily (Gilgamesh being a prime example... one of the strongest servants who was defeated in Stay Night purely due to his general arrogance.) Although The masters relationship with him would also effect things, seeing as his master in Apocrypha was a cruel and sadistic bitch which only made him less motivated to follow her orders... if he has a friendlier master he'd probably be more inclined to listen (like with Sieg for example).
Don't underestimate an adventurer. Astolfo's tragedy will probably be tied into the Legend of Roland and the battle of Ronceveux. Most famous tale of the paladins of Charlemagne.
5:30 "Now do me a favor and go vote for someone who actually has a chance of winning the Holy Grail", guess who won the Grail?... That's right, ASTOLFO!!!
There are some issue about the Rider Class: 1. The rider class could mount anything with the exception of the dragon because it need another skills(with the exception of Saint Martha). 2. Their magic resistance skill is lower than to that of a Saber class. 3. Not all their NP are powerful but there NP had no class restriction. To put it simply, King Arthur (saber) is only allowed to use Invisible Air, Avalon (if she had the original artifact), and the Excalibur because of his class restriction as a Saber while if she is summon as a rider she could probable use Invisible Air, Avalon (if she had the original artifact), Caliburn, Rhongomyniad, Carnwennan, Prydwen, Llamrei and Hengroen, Cavall, and the Excalibur. By the way, Astolfo has more than 4 NP like the sword he had given to Sieg but he never like to use a sword so practically he only choose what he likes.
Knowing how the internet works, I bet you already started working on the Astolfo video and baited the choice by showing a desire not to cover it. Also I looked at the polls and Shirou is not an option.
It's true though because holy grail can only used by Master not servant not mention you need all 7 servant to die meaning you must make your servant kill themself to obtain it.
hey quick question [SPOILER ALERT] At the end of Fate Apocrypha how was astolfo able to maintain a material existence on earth? was it because he won the war? or was it because seig his master is still technically alive just on a different plane of existance...
You know, I think it would be better to cover servants that have died so far in the show, just so if you've made a video on a servant who is still alive, and more information gets revealed about them, then it doesn't make video somewhat incomplete.
Honestly the internet had made me hate the meme Astolfo, but when i watched fate apocrypha i was truly surprised. A true hero is something you rarely see in heroic spirits(kinda ironic). And sure i might hate the trap aesthetic but i cant deny this guy is a true protector of mankind.
Well even though I wanted to I didn't vote for Astolfo, mostly because you asked so nicely *cough* Threateningly *cough* I'm glad because I know his legend the least. Keep up the amazing vids. :D
Thanks to his legends in which he received various treasures, Astolfo is able to borrow noble phantasms from other servants and make use of them, something not normally possible. An example being when he used Achilles' shield.
Astolfo is indeed best servant, best girl AND best boy. Considering Apocrypha in its entirety was kind of a shallow, but entertaining action spectacle it's surprising that it had a character that I like this much. Also, it's Cav-al-ry. Not Cal-va-ry. The V comes before the L. Cav-al-ry.
I know it’s old but Astolfo died in battle to protect his king from an ambush. All but two Paladins survived and Astolfo before hand gave all his equipment away to his fellow Paladins. So in the final battle he fought as a mere man and managed to be one of the last to fall. So his story is tragic as he died surrounded by the corpses of his friends as he cried for the sky he loved to envelop him into its safety
*"Alright so i hope you're happy now you've gotten your fill on your favorite character now do me a favor and go vote for someone who actually has a chance of winning the holy grail"* Oh boy only if he knew
I'm watching this a year later after the series has concluded, and it's funny to me that you say, "Now go vote for someone who actually has a chance of winning the Holy Grail." as though you believed there wasn't a chance Astolfo would be the last servant standing... Hehe.
There are good resources that could of given you way more info on him but they are spoiler laden AF, somewhere on the LNs translation websites. Respecting you dont want to spoil anything i think approaching his battle capabilities etc was a good way to do it bad way to do it. I'll try to add a lil without spoilering too much. His outfit was related to the myth of Orlando going mad(as in insane) after his girl left him, Astolfo as a close friend was basically trying to keep him sane until Astolfo could return Orlandos wits, which requires flying to the moon to retrieve orlandos wits in a bottle. Interestingly part of this myth is that Astolfo and Orlando were to go and slay mad pussy together iirc. This will probably be touched on in the Anime eventually. He died fighting saracens or spaniards (can't remember which specifically) in his late 20s, importantly here he died happy having served faithfully and having been to the moon. In regards to Fate/Apo this comes out as his wish is that he could go back to "that place" (the moon)
Astolfo’s backstory with the moon, is that his sanity was stolen by the moon. Aka he can only remember the name of his noble phantasm when there is no moon in the night sky, aka new moon
1:43 I felt a great disturbance. It's as if thousands of French otaku suddenly cringed, I fear there is something very wrong with this picture. Seriously! The beard of Charlemagne should be a noble phantasm in and of itself!
+Otaku Trailers I do, but making a video on him right now would be way too many spoilers. So im gonna wait a bit longer before adding him as an option.
I kind of want see another series with astolfo, jeanne, and sieg. I mean shirou, saber, and rin are done very often. I think astolfo, jeanne, and sieg be interesting.
It wouldn't have Jeanne or Sieg, but I want a Nasuverse adaptation of Orlando Furioso (that's where Fate gets most of its Matter of France inspiration). They wouldn't even have to change much of anything since, despite being a 500 year old Italian epic poem, it's basically an anime already.
Derek Bates Basically, Astolfo fly so high with his Hippogriff, he just met Elias and with him they go to the moon, where people's sanity are locked. Astolfo's sanity already pretty fucked, by the way. His history is pretty weird. He fight Hercules, you know? But, he is just a supporting and don't have his own history or book...sad
Okay, 2 things wrong with that; 1.) how could he have fought Hercules when Herc died like several centuries b4 Astolfo was born, and 2.) how could he breathe in space?
Derek Bates 1 - I read in some place that he fights Hercules 2 - I don't know. Man, he make friends with Elias and go to the moon using the Fire Chair and return in a Hippogriff. Everything is possible!
HI HI ! Of course a like cute dress but this clothes it's for calm and appease Roland (my cousin) when he is mad after he was spurned by the woman he loved.I don't know why ive this clothes when i was summoned :/ .... and im pansexual.The gender does not interest me. Oh and im the son of King Otto of England :3
It's fun that almost every noble phantasm of astolfo is not Based on his original legend but from a poem named Orlando Furioso that was written centuries after the chanson de geste
Casseur comes the Irish casúr, which comes from the latin quassô, meaning "to weaken", and its english descendant is quash, and its french descendant is casser, meaning "to break" or "to break up(relationship wise)", so casseur literally means "breaker", but the definition that wiktionary gave was "rioter" and "hooligan"

rockman mix exactly lmaooooo
There is a more deep reason to his feminine appearance: Astolfo had to dress like a girl to stop Roland Furioso.
astolfo!!
the kevin 9anime or kissanime I prefer 9anime
His true noble phantasm is the ability to steal the hearts of even the most heterosexual of men.
My Heterosexuality skill is Rank A++ i think i am immune against his noble phantasm.
LOL
Fam his deformed ass lip teeth stopped me from being trapped and the usually pink Tsundere hair didn't help either

Only thanks to seig and Achilles, if it weren't for them Astolfo would have most definitely died

Right my thought exactly

-has a big lance
-blows a big flute

Also is “rider” class
"Astolfo possesses various magical equipment which he employs throughout his adventures. His magic lance can knock his opponents from their horses with the slightest touch, and his magic book contains spells capable of breaking any enchantment. He also owns a magic horn whose blast is so loud that it causes all enemies to flee in terror and rides upon a horse named Rabicano. This magical horse is made of hurricane and flame, feeds on air and it treads so lightly that it doesn't leave footprints in the sand, and when it runs at full speed it can run faster than an arrow."

He was in the category as best male and female character.

This really doesn't fit now that your profile is changed.
Astolfo is a fictional character form Orlando Furioso, an italian epic, like Sasaki Kojirou the Assassin-class sevant of Caster in Fate/Stay Night
Explain Assassin of Red a.k.a Queen of Assyria a.k.a Seminaris
leonartha03 go check out a youtuber named tsiah iv, his lore vid of her is so awesome and hilarious😂
yup.. i already seen that one.. but i still want AniNews's version
Funny how things turned out in the end for Astolfo when you made this video.
" Vote for someone who has an actual chance of winning the holy grail " ..... Oh if you only knew when you were making this video....
His lance is called "the *TRAP* of Argalia"
How fitting
jack the reaper
Jack the Ripper*
Of course his Noble Phantasm is The *Trap* of Argalia. Well played Type-Moon.
It's fun that almost every noble phantasm of astolfo is not Based on his original legend but from a poem named Orlando Furioso that was written centuries after the chanson de geste
yey Astolfo i love him (=0W0=) aaaaaaaa i want to scream right now :v lol ( i like him serious )
Great video bro
Idc what anyone says, astolfo is a girl
Im Thrillz
🍆🚫=👱
Im Thrillz we're not entirely sure since one of the official books on this makes it vague. Tho honestly I'm super hoping he's a boy😍
He's not a girl, hes a boy
he a guy, but loving him is not gay
My eyes widened when I found out how rawly strong this dude is including all hiss phantasms. AND HE STRONG LIKE THIS IN RIDER CLASS, that’s a lie.
I’m completely lost.
_So you’re telling me this is a dude?_
Im soo lost too bro
I see this this as an absolute win
His legend is one of the earliest accounts of being a bro.
So riders a trap?
Kit suko Is he really considered a trap if it was revealed quite early on by someone calling him a he? 🤔
"Go vote for someone who actually has a chance of winning the Holy Grail."
Little did he know...
*Trap of the millennial*
did you mean millenium my friendo
Casseur comes the Irish casúr, which comes from the latin quassô, meaning "to weaken", and its english descendant is quash, and its french descendant is casser, meaning "to break" or "to break up(relationship wise)", so casseur literally means "breaker", but the definition that wiktionary gave was "rioter" and "hooligan"
I wish he were a girl...
Oh how so much 😖
Me too.
