This was a bad idea.
And yet it's still glorious.
Totally worth it though
No. No it’s not.
I beg to differ. This is great!
I disagree this was the greatest idea ever
Nico's bullshit powers must be working overtime for him to correctly guess Thomas Edison's character on the first try.
Yeah, he was the last one i thought he would get it on his first try
He's officially Kono hito de nashi.
@@raphaelpulmano2212Edison da shinga!!
I mean it's not really that hard if you really pay attention to the design. Honestly, it's arguably one of the most blatant designs in Fate history. Like, once you look past the lion part of him and see the lightbulbs on his shoulders, that's it. GG. 😂
@colt1903 I mean when you put it like that yeah. It's a weird design, but it's so specific there's not much else it could be
Nico in 2023: I will not get into fate, its bullshit, i will not get into fate, i will not
Nico in 2024: Oh hi fate
Haha, what a story, Fate
Lmao
And now Nico's Fate is sealed.
@@SeiyaTempest The door is tha- that way!
Is that a The Room reference? 😂
The reasoning for Blackbeard’s otaku and creepiness is actually really cool. So, the reason why Blackbeard acts like that(other than genuinely being an otaku) is to purposely repulse and freak out others. The reason for this is because he couldn’t scare or intimidate anyone in Chaldea because there are literal gods, demons, monsters, and heroes in Chaldea so he had to figure out a new way to intimidate people
If I can't scare people with craziness and psychological tactics then I shall disturb and disgust people with craziness and psychological tactics
There is also the fact that historically, Blackbeard wasn't a ruthless monster or a bloodthirsty savage, he saw piracy as a business, focusing on intimidation tactics and purposefully leaving people alive in order to increase his fame and reputation.
The reason he is the face of piracy is because he was that good at marketing himself.
@@imatiu yeah he is a smart man who knows how do psychological warfare well also I heard somewhere he also used marijuana fumes to make his enimies trip causeing Pwarfare to be more effective i don't remember where i heard it but if it is true the man knew alot of stuff and was smart as hell
Yesss
To elaborate on the Don Quixote thing: the original novel is actually set several centuries after the time of what we'd think of as traditional knights. It focuses on an old man who's read too many books about chivalry and now believes himself to be a knight because he's going senile. The windmill thing specifically refers to an early scene where he sees a windmill, mistakes it for a giant, and almost seriously injures himself trying to fight it.
The whole book is about this noble old man going on adventures with his trusty "squire" until he finally returns back to his state and, being old and frail, falls ill and must come to terms with reality. It's a sad conclusion, but one that he faces on his deathbed as he draws his final breath.
Don Quijote in Fate/Grand Order actually becomes weaker, lore wise, at least, the more he ascends, as his ascensions represent him opening the curtains of reality, but this isn't depicted as a bad thing. The game treats it as something good. By rejecting his fantasy, he can achieve many more wonderful things.
I like this interpretation of the character. They did him justice.
@@carlwheezer1640 the book itself actually supports Fate's idea of the character as within that book is a whole clown car of interesting characters and soap operas and has the idea that Reality can be just as if not more interesting than reality. So his hourse becoming more fantastical while his armor gets duller could represent Don discarding his rampant fantasies and realizing the wonders of reality
"Don Quixote"
Me: *YA-HOO intensifies*
@@AquaticLotus7552 Sacho also has an ability to force the reality of the time Don Quixote was set in so he can fight in an even playing field against any enemies
Too bad their duo NP only shows Don's NP
LIMBUS COMPANY!!!!!!!!
Major clarification:
The reason why Voyager depicted as little boy is because of his Master's subconscious influence, Erice. Voyager acquired a Saint Graph equal to a human in order to properly communicate with his Master thus basing his appearance to Erice's preferences and likes. Erice loved the book Little Prince and and owns a pair of aviator googles and a replica toy of the airplane which its author Antoine de Saint-Exupéry flew (which explains why Voyager has aviator look in one of his ascensions). Basically Voyager pulled the same thing Nursery Rhyme did.
Ooooh I didn't know this, neat!
They forgot the most important fact that Hokusai is the father of tentacle hentai, hence, the Cthulu fusion.
When it comes to Orion, Artemis hijacked the Saint Graph not because she thought he was weak but because she was afraid he would flirt with women. Not an unfounded worry mind you, but her responses are definitely brutal.
Didn´t she originally turn him into a bear because of flirting? Or was that another dude?
@@johnyshadow In myth, there was one guy she turned into a bear-constellation because he was about to kill a bear, iirc... who was also his mom, cursed to look like a bear... and she was also made into a constellation. Yeah, this, to the Greek, was the origin of Ursa Minor and Ursa Major. So... yeah, turning their lover into a bear so they won't flirt is totally something the Greek gods would do as well...
Orion was also turned into a constellation, but as himself, and that after Artemis herself accidentaly shot him due to her brother tricking her (Artemis had a vow of chastity going and Apollo didn't want Orion to ruin that, so he arranged his death).
Also, very much opposite to weak, being a former Grand Archer and actual equal to Artemis.
Also, the hijacking was done through the fact Artemis gave up her godhood
@@livingreverie5951she didn’t give it up, more like gods can’t be summoned normally so she had to break off a piece of her power to be with Orion. She’s too powerful otherwise.
This is like when you show your grandma Danganronpa characters and have her guess what they are.
Your pfp lmfao
its the prozd sketch where he has grandma guess smash bros characters
Nico sees FGO’s goofy side
He gets curious and downloads FGO
Us: That’s hell you’re walking into
Gigguk Reference?
@@rikulrevontheus800”Imagine history, but horny”
@@rikulrevontheus800here’s just hope he doesn’t blow all his money on Astolfo when he’s not even featured on the banner.
@@rikulrevontheus800 Fate reference. "That's hell you're walking into" is a fameous quote from the series.
is that fucking kagetora byleth
The sheer speed with which Nico locked in on Paul Bunyan amuses and horrifies me
he saw the axe and was like "Paul bunyan"
Just as fast as her Berserker NP!
They should be shown to a bunch of american and non american people and compare guess rates and speed.
I mean, after everything else.
Nico: can’t guess Tesla.
Also Nico: Thomas Edison because lightbulbs.
The Bullshit giveth and the bullshit taketh away
Probably because Tesla was not American, that was bad hint.
@@Mastercio 100% this, I guessed Tesla before that hint and was then like "ok American, so can't be Tesla".
EXACTLY. Serbian, born in modern day Croatia, which was back then Austria-Hungary
It's complicated xD @@Ishlacorrin
Well, the hints were bad. Especially the first one.
Nico walked into hell and opened a Pandora’s Box that can’t be closed again.
And he hasn't even seen Pandora yet.
@@Cyclonestorm8
Pandora servant in FGO when?
@@neilisawesome2333maybe when they do another Fate/Kaleid liner prisma illya collab.
@@neilisawesome2333 I'm rather astounded we don't have Pandora yet.
That's hell he walked into
It’s rather implied in FGO that Saber is, in fact, not the “correct” class for Caesar to be summoned into, and iirc, that it’s implied he would be more closer to his historical depiction if he was summoned as a Rider.
If I’m remembering things right from Caesar himself in-game at one point, he notes that while he knew how to use a sword, he wasn’t exactly a master swordsmen, and his skills are typically in leadership.
Shouldn’t he be at his best as Ruler?
@@zigslotheonRulers are typically individuals known for being rather selfless and impartial, at least enough so in regards to the Holy Grail War (hence why Gilgamesh still fit for the latter point, since he had utterly no interest in the Grail itself and no stake in who the winner actually was). This doesn’t tend to fit Caesar himself, or most historical rulers, really, especially if they had lofty ambitions.
The class is also typically associated with Saints and Christianity, although to be fair, this aspect was a bit muddled over time as more were introduced.
@@zigslotheonthe ruler class is "misleading" since the first thought you'd have are people who ruled over a group of people(kings, leaders and such) but in reality the ruler class are people that are impartial, unbiased and neutral so that they can enforce the rules.
@zigslotheon as already explained, Ruler isn't a good fit, but most military commanders fall into the Rider-class
Fat version we saw in game is after his prime.
They are talking about this in one of Halloween even that Cleopatra shocking after found him became a fatty.
And he explained that’s long time ago and he can’t help that he’s look good as when he dating her anymore.
The thing with Don Quixote is that the entire point of the first book is that he’s fucking insane.
He was a random old peasant in 17th century Spain that became so obsessed with the fantasy books he read that he convinced himself they were real and that he was a knight and began a delusional adventure which typically went: Step 1) See a thing, Step 2) Distort that thing in his imagination until it fits his delusion, 3) Completely ignore the pleading of his friend and “squire” Pancho to not do the crazy thing he’s about to do, 4) Get his ass kicked.
The windmill thing was basically him seeing a bunch of windmills, convincing himself they were giants with massive arms and then being knocked unconscious after being hit in the head by one.
Another fun Hokusai fact! It was learned that much of the art attributed to Hokusai during life was actually done by his daughter, though exactly which pieces were hers and which were his is somewhat debated today. Makes the fact that she's the primary servant of the pair kind of interesting.
She's only the primary personality in specific ascensions.
@@casteanpreswyn7528 I know-the first and second. However, it’s still her body in the third, regardless.
Just so you know, Katsushika Hokusai kinda invented tentacle porn. His painting known as _The Dream of the Fisherman's Wife_ (circa 1814) is the first ever image depicting said tentacle porn. This work was apparently so inspiring that even Pablo Picasso made his own tentacle porn painting privately, _Dona i Pop._
The reason why his daughter shows up was because she used to paint under her father's name, before striking out on her own as an independent artist. Her final ascension is basically daddy octopus possessed his daughter.
Foreigners aren't exactly Lovecraftian per se. It used to mean that way though, however with a few exceptions like Voyager (as in the probe) and AU Gundam Samus, it essentially just means "outside our current domain or dimension".
One of Voyager's tips is technically wrong. He *is* dead, but only because his origin Fate/Requiem takes place in the future. This is based on the estimations that the Voyager will run out of power on 2025.
Which they somehow got right
To think that already next year...well, I hope no alien robot that turns into a gun will get their hands on it.
NASA already gave news that Voyager's batteries are slowly dying
anyways fate can have living characters and their servant version, I mean it's kinda the whole point of UBW
They're still communicating with him as of today
Some clarification of Julius Caesar:
The reason why he's chubby is because it was a famous practice for his people to stuff themselves and store fight for a battle, because they would be able to burn that energy over longer campaigns.
A version of him exists that is fit, but he is a Rider
It's also because his sword "Crocea Mors" was made famous for its use by Nennius of Britain, a folk hero who was "present" and "repelled" the Roman Invasion of the British Isles. However, it's still "Julius Caesar's Sword", so he "qualifies" as its owner. So his Saber Saint Graph is drawing upon the common perception of "the Decadence of Rome" to "stabalize" Caesar as a Saber
I thought the rider Julius Caesar was fanmade
@@amateurwriter0223 Caesar complains that Saber is not his best class, Rider is. However he has not appeared officially, so the idea that Rider Caesar would be fit is just a (good) guess.
@@mskelter It has more to do with the fact that Cleopatra mentions that he was fit more than once
His Saber-form also seems to primarily draw from his time as a lawyer and his oratory skills, which is why he kinda evokes the image of a stereotypical "fat businessman".
Well, the thing about Voyager, is it's still alive. It will actually "die" and stop transmitting any signal in 2025. The story he's from Fate/Requiem, is set in the future.
Part of the reason why Voyager is summonable though is because he's a "Pioneer of the Stars", people (or in this case objects) who embody and/or performed huge leaps in regards to human civilization, like Francis Drake, being the first (named) captain to circumnavigate the world, Leonardo Da Vinci, embodying the geniuses of the Renaissance and the coming age of wisdom, Nikola Tesla, "taming" electricity and making it useable for humanity, even Neil Armstrong counts, for being the first person to set foot on extra-terrestrial ground. The reason that's important is because usually, people from after around WW1 don't have the "mystery" associated with them to enter the Throne of Heroes, mystery being the basis for all things magic in Fate and its associated works. The only ones who get an exception to that are Pioneers of the Stars and... those who enter the Throne through other means.
@@Justic_ But Voyager still isn't "dead" and the story he's in is set in the future.
@@littlekuribohimposte tbf, the "has to be dead" has NEVER been an actual qualifier for being summonable, it's only for actual historical people that's a rule for, and that for more real life reasons. The Throne exists outside of time, so as long as someone dies eventually to get registered in the Throne, them being dead at the moment or not doesn't matter.
Major Spoilers below!
After all, that's literally the plot of Unlimited Blade Work, despite Shirou still being alive, a future version of himself gets summoned.
And it also happens in Strange Fake, Prelati literally summons him... her...? Himself, and while you could argue his original body is dead, her soul definitely isn't, and that's what the Throne of Heroes cares about after all.
Even in Samurai Remnant, granted that's a bit more of a weird case, a slightly seperate category, Li Shuwen gets summoned... despite not even being born yet by the time Samurai Remnant is set!
Granted, it is usually harder to summon someone from the future, because you generally need a catalyst, and of course it's hard to get your hands on a catalyst to summon someone from the future, without a catalyst you'd at best have a small chance to summon someone, based more on a Masters personality. But yeah, "being currently dead" is technically not a hard rule for a Heroic Spirit to get summoned.
@@Justic_ I thought you were going to spoil Merlin's summoning which are a crazier rule bending
@@0Clewi0 when you really think about it, it was a pretty smart way of rule-bending in Merlin's part.
26/31 is a great score especially considering how fate characters are extremely over the top with their designs lol. Nico's ultimate talent not only works in Danganronpa but in Fate too
So I heard this through a fate Reddit or TH-cam comment but I always make sure to spread it but the reason Blackbeard acts like a super creep is because he knows that he is just a simple pirate. That’s it and if you compare him to Odysseus, Arjuna alter and many of the other heroes they all have feats that literally changed history and such. So to freak out his opponents and make it hard to get a read on him he purposely goes overdrive on the creep stuff and just prays that his opponents are too freaked out to act while he then attacks them.
The one that I heard say that irl, he likes to scare his enemy
But he can't really do that with legendary heroes, so he instead act as creepy as possible in hopes everyone would be too disgusted to wanna be anywhere near him
@@mirzapramudya1580 I can see him doing that
Huge “Showing my Grandma All 89 Smash Ultimate Fighters!” energy
(I mean this in the best way possible)
“How am I gonna link my SoundCloud, Grandma?!”
They didn't talk about it, but I thought it was awesome that they referenced Napoleon's early career as an artillery officer by giving him a cannon
Beowulf is actually the *least* Berserker of Berserkers. He's completely sane and totally chill to hang with. But as a downside to that, he doesn’t get the insane strengths buff that most Berserkers get. That said, he's plenty strong as it is!
Beo has lowest rank of Madness Enhancement coz he posses it's "Active" version which is Berserk at rank A.
Being the originator of the word Berserker, he can freely switch his berserk state on and off at will, which is ofc miles better than normal ME that would sucks the master's mana dry or accidentally get slapped in the head😂
Berserkers kinda insane in different aspect, like having motherly instinct like Raikou or madly in love like Kiyohime. Beowulf kinda "battle junky" in some aspect
What about berserk jack?
@@BironBironBiron I just know that the origin of the word "Berserker" came from him, but then why he's not the Grand Berserker? I mean, we could have another version of him.
Quetzacoatl was flying in on the pterosaur named after her..the Quetzacoatlus...known to have one of the largest wingspans of any flying creature.
I’m pretty sure it was the largest, not one of the largest
@monkeywatch4916 I was playing it safe. Certainly the largest found so far, but they may find something to beat it. There are just so many species of ancient reptiles and dinosaurs we have not discovered yet
Fate Grand Order has two speeds. Crippling Depressing Story. Or It's event time. Everyone is silly and stupid.
Listen, Guda needs those absurd events after all the serious story.
@@Cat_SidheWell starting from Guda 2 stories themselves has been pretty serious.
@@markgilberk6248idk man, Nobunaga losing her head at the start of Guda6 and getting it replaced with a wooden sign was pretty funny
@@mirzapramudya1580 Yet the same event also featured the tragic backstory of an orphan that was raised to be an elite shrine maiden by some cult than had her entire village wiped out by an evil god mind-controlling her only friend, a man face the comrades he betrayed and trying to make ammends, and a genuinely touching story about acceptance in the form of a man and his divine dragon wife.
FGO-events are just a rollercoaster of both comedy and serious moments. A far cry from the first event which was just "oh, someone stole our dumplings for the moon-viewing festival! Oh, would you look at that, it was a goddess of the moon"
@@Justic_another example is Summer 4. The story is goofy until you get to the climax and Moriarty destroys Lancelot...with mere words
Voyager is amongst the most my favorite servants!! Technically he's amongst the weakest Foreigners because, not only is he human made but he's a rather recent addition to the list.
Nobody knew who this tiny boy was when he originally released (he's a light novel character) until he arrived to the mobile game! But the Little prince was always a guess based on his design.
What makes him so special, and also why he's a servant despite how recent he is... Is that he's literally the embodiment of humanity's wishes to explore and know the beyond. He is the personification of the purity of curiosity and the yearning to meet someone else beyond ourselves... In his world, the idea of "him" has outlived humanity and came back as a spirit to know the people of the world he represents with childlike wonder.
This space probe is my son and I love him thank you very much 😭😭😭
Fun fact: Paul Bunyan actually has the fastest NP to this day
Yes I love my space son so much ^^
I love all the details on his design like the golden disc, and how beautiful yet sad his noble phantasm is.
Voyager is a precious servant and I can’t wait for his upgrades on the NA server.
Also he’s just so adorable in his curiosity and lines with the master and other servants like wanting photos or trying new things!
*loud sobbing*
Iirc Voyager has that really awesome introduction that when Erice meets him in the water, she greeted him and he replied by saying Hello in every human language ever spoken because the Voyager has the golden record containing every human greeting in every language
Also insanely beautiful references, the little prince itself, his rose, the planets, the golden record. The fan comic of Gil, the oldest hero talking about him is just beautiful. "A Heroic Spirit that continues the idea of humanity, even if humanity doesn't"
the only reason he takes a form close to the Little Prince is because it is his master's favorite book.
Fun fact Nico! Oda Nobunaga nickname was the ultimate persona of Kanji!
Also the Avenger version is actually several versions of Oda based on ascensions. One of whom is male.
when someone in Fate is male its quite shocking
Which one? The only one I can think of is Rokuten Maoh-oooooo....I see what they did there....
I love how the Van Gogh part was the most right and wrong explanation there
Damn, even with hints that was way more impressive than expected, that Edison answer was actually summoned from the aether.
Didn't know we're gonna watch nico's fall into the fate rabbithole but i'm all for it
another fun fact: in the original story, Mr hyde WAS NOT a monster, and in fact it's not even suggested to even be another persoality at all until towards the end of the story. In fact, mr hyde is described as looking jsut like...A GUY, but somethign about him makes people isntantly predisposed to disliking him. that's the ONlY weird thing about him.
In the original story, Dr jekyll basically was SO sick of holding himself back he would turn into mr hyde to absically run around and VENT, to let go of himself and indulge in his hidden desires (whicha re never stated directly so it could be anything).He only STOPS being mr hyde when he murders a man in a rage and then loses it when he finds hismelf transforming into Mr Hyde without drining the potion (its here that its suggested he starts developing a split personalty, likely from trying to disassociate from his crimes). he eventually kills himself after writing a letter revealing what he did.
So yeah the most famous things about him (evil split personality that manifests as an evil monster)? not even in the original story. It's mostly a cautionary tale about repression and indulgence. He indulged too much and killed someone, but then repressed so much that what he was trying to repress would come out regardless of what he wanted. it was not about a scientist who made a magic good evil potion, it's more nuanced than that.
So yeah that's probably why he just...looks like a dude. cause...that's how he looked in the story. just...a dude.
I thought in the book it was made clear that Jekyll was a tall, handsome man while Hyde was short, younger (looking?), ugly looking guy. Both looked so different there was no way anyone would believe on sight that they were one and the same.
Funny thing Nico mentions Hyde being a monster because his Assassin form has some of Hyde's abilities mixed in, so Jekyll himself can fight a bit while Hyde becomes a batshit crazy guy with gear. However if Jekyll is a Berserker, which he was summoned as in Fate Proto Fragments, his Jekyll form is still highly intelligent but is so weak he can pass on as a regular human that he cant be detected by a servant, but once he turns to Hyde he becomes some hyper regenerating werewolf that face tanked an Excalibur with absolutely no wounds.
He literally fucking deaged in the book...
@@KeeperOfUntoldDreams
Other way around. Jekyll is an older gentleman but Hyde is younger version of him.
@@RavenCloak13 But I did say Hyde was younger, didn't I?
So... Sherlock's NP in particular is really interesting in what it's supposed to do in world and not in game.
Effectively... he's a walking Dues Ex Machina.
His NP allows him to take a look at any given scenario, whether it's solving a puzzle, finding and object, or defeating a monster, his NP will go out of it's way to not actually give the real answer, but to MAKE and answer that those present and assisting with the situation can use to solve it.
An example given in the game itself is say you and some others are trying to open a chest. Nothing you have at the current moment will open it, and there is no key in sight. If he were to use his NP, he would not learn of the actual location of the real key, instead ,it would MAKE a key in a location accessible to those present. You would still need to go get it, but it would create said solution for you.
Another example would be if you were fighting a monster that was truly and utterly invincible. Nothing you had on you could defeat this thing. His NP would not reveal it's real weakness (if it had any to begin with) but CREATE a weakness that you or others with you could exploit. You would still likely have to go through several steps to do so, but you and those present could actually deal with it now.
It's an insane ability that re-writes teh world for the sake of creating an answer, and I love it.
P.S. if you ever want to play another fate game that isn't one of the visual novels in the future, Fate Extra is pretty decent PsP title that leads into the Extella games and it's own sequel that got a really nice fan translation recently
...I don't think TH-cam will Extra.... Because.... You know....
@@darkerrex1442 CCC is the one that gets kind of sketchy. Extra is actually really chill besides a scene which is censored in the English relase
Sherlock's noble phantasm basically makes lets him solve any mystery, be it by truth or changing reality
I love how you can hear miles laugh when Nico describes Blackbeard as a “Sexy Pirate”. Like, he’s getting warmer!
Nico really hurt himself for never calling Arjuna by his actual name.
Correction on Leonardo Da Vinci, he did not reincarnate, the smaller Da Vinci is a homunculus that he made in case he was killed(which happened).
Also technically not a genderbend, da vinci was a man and modified his spirit origin to be the mona lisa
As a long time FGO player this was a delight. If you didn't hear already Yamato Takeru was recently added to the Japanese FGO and one of their outfits looks just like P4 Naoto.
Oh no.
This might be my undoing.
What i love about fate blackbeard is that irl blackbeard is terrifyingly since he's not only a sociopathic unit of a man who is 6'4 and would light his beard on fire to scare his enemies. But instead fate decided to keep that terrifying factor by instead making him this creep and degenerate male who makes Daru from steins gate look tame in comparison. Truly terrifying behaviour.
Actually no, Fate’s pretty accurate. Blackbeard wasn’t that scary irl. He would rob people, but let them live under the condition that they spread those terrifying rumors about him.
He wanted to get a reputation up to make robbing people easier. He was a sociopath, not a psychopath
@@tornic531but that wouldn't really work against other servants, so he chooses a different way of having a terrifying reputation
@@_zeroman Yup, at least early on, his nerd/otaku behaviour was... mostly an act. To disgust people, but also to get them to lower their guard around him because "oh, he's just some otaku, he won't be an actual threat".
He genuinely is a nerd though, at least nowadays, although iirc it's kinda unclear if he always had an actual genuine appretiation for these things, or if he just "took his act too far" and became a genuine nerd.
@@Justic_
Yeah he actually uses that feint in Okeanos if i'm correct to get one over on Jason, I do one day hope for a more 'serious/alter' version of Blackbeard/Teach though.
@@Justic_dude actually likes it but actively uses the negative stereotype to his advantage, gotta respect that
a bit of a cruel joke regarding Anastasia. You have to level up the characters and farm for materials. She is the servant (though tied with 4 others currently) who consumes the most gunpowder. She was shot to death and you have to feed her 216 gunpowder (players often just call them bullets) to fully level her skills.
You could say she had to eat those bullets
Im sorry, rest in peace
Fun fact with Paul Bunyan's Noble Phantasm, just like in Samurai Remnant you can't skip NP animations so when the time came to add Paul Bunyan from the FGO gag manga to FGO,
the manga's artist Riyo who plays the game requested her NP be as fast as posable.
In an anime original scene of the anime adaptation of the gag manga Bunyan goes on a rampage and tries to kill Riyo (Personified as the FGO protagonist) cus she's mad her NP animation sucks.
That second to last one had me AWED
The first picture, with the space theme and mock NASA logo, had me thinking like Nico for a bit, that it might be a well know astronaut.
But the second dispelled that, since it completely loses that in favor of a simpler design, with a bigger focus on the childlike nature
However the third, now THAT hit me hard, the aviator goggles, as well as the Baobab trees in the background!!!
Le Petit Prince
But no, apparently it is an object? Is it the book itself, and not the character....that hardly makes sense.
Little did I know, it's simply THE PERFECT CHOICE
The pure sense of childlike wonder, the joy of exploration and discovery for its own sake
I was only half-right, but whoever first drew that parallel between fact and fiction and created this design has all my respect and admiration.
Also with the goggles ones you can see the golden record
Truly one of the best design in FGO ever
I love it too, they represent similar concept, The Little Prince, childlike wonder and curiosity and Voyager, curiosity, both relating to the outer planet and both on a solitary journey
Nico guessing Fate Servants is guaranteed to be a good time, especially after all of his guesses for Gilgamesh! We won’t be seeing a FGO LP anytime soon, but I do hope he watches some scenes or characters some day. I can’t wait for him to check out Fate Stay Night and the other Fate games!
I'm hoping for the FGO anime, even though it skips a lot and goes to the good parts inmediately
I hope the next game he plays is the Fate Extra remake, I may be hoping but I think he might like it.
@@BlaxeFrost-X Honestly, with a few summaries to fill for context, the part the animes skip aren't really a big problem.
Could also go for the manga-adaptions though, the one covering the odd-numbered chapters should be done with the 5th chapter, from what I recall seeing. The one covering even chapters was on hiatus for some time and is still just around the 2nd chapter, so that's a bit of a problem... But overall, I'm pretty sure both of them also fix some of the issues the early chapters had, so that's a plus.
@@happykiwi8407 Extra Remake isn't a thing yet, they still stuck in development phase.
@tienmanhnguyen3422 ik hence why I Said "i hope"
As for the Thomas Eddison movie stuff yes Tomas Eddison created the camera and was one of the first filmmakers and made a significant developments on the camera and in fact hollywood is what it is today because people wanted to get away from Eddison because he had such a strong hand in the industry (they also wanted to go somewhere with better lighting as well but that's just another semantics.) Overall he wasn't the best filmmaker and during the time he charged a lot to see films but he is considered one of the founding fathers due to his developments of the camera (This has been film facts with Emerald).
Truly a capitalist x,D
I said I would watch an hour of this, AND I WILL!
Edit: After watching this, HOW DID HE GET THE THOMAS EDISON ONE?!? The other ones were fun guesses and a great and amusing video overall. I was half the time thinking how was he going to guess them, and was pleasantly proven wrong. I almost want a part 2 to show some of the more obscure ones for fun. Old Man Gramps would be a fun but tough one to guess.
Heres the thing about Blackbeard though. His "creepiness" and otaku-ness was used to essentially remove any kind of attention on him, he knows he's up against Gods and Aliens so he figured that a pirate like him wouldn't do crap against them, so to avoid confrontation, he paints himself as a worthless individual not worth anyone's time.
This was in essense, Blackbeard's character, a cunning man who makes do with his situation. That is until the degeneracy goes way beyond reasonable in the events preceding the chapter he's introduced in
These were some interesting choices! I want to say a little bit about Nobunaga real quick. The adult form that you were shown is actually pretty unique. Their overall gender is listed as unknown and each of her 3 ascensions are essentially different versions. The first is the same design as the other two versions you saw, the second ascension is a male version, and the third one is that womanly adult form you saw.
Nico instantly recognizing Paul Bunyan was hilarious. True 'MURICAN.
The interesting thing about Jekyll and Hyde is that in his original appearance in a different Fate entry, he actually does turn into a monster whenever he swaps into Hyde. He turns into a werewolf-esque creature who is actually pretty damn strong.
Also a shame they didn't show Orion's own NP, it was pretty neat.
Not quite, it isnt that Hyde is a monster in that form but that Hyde, when using Dangerous Game when naturally summoned as a berserker becomes a werewolf like beast instead
That's how I understand it at least, I'm sorry if I'm wrong tho
@@CrowAkechi_The_Luminary Sorry but I don't get your point. We're basically saying the same thing, no?
When J&H are summoned as a Berserker and Jekyll turns into Hyde, Hyde takes the form of a werewolf-looking creature.
More Fate facts:
The Olympians were alien spaceships that gained egos when humans started worshipping them.
Quetzlqcoatl arrived on the meteor that killed the dinosaurs.
Moriarty is technically another fusion; with a german legend about seven magic bullets.
You should see Lu Bu's horse.
Apollo does the same thing as Artemis, except he turns himself into a sheep.
And the Moon is-
And then there's Attila the Hun...
Let's not get into that right off the bat
Ease him into it
no we are not talking about the moon
You be quiet about the moon!
@@MozillaVulpixAt least we have a lore reason for the whole sword of mars thing
I think this is a great example of how smart many of Fate’s servant designs are. Enough references and artistic direction that with relatively few hints, you can guess the figure, even the gender swapped ones. Also of this showcase, Arjuna Alter, Van Gogh, Merlin, and Voyager are my favs!
So idk how much your friends explained the NPs to you off cam, but Moriarty's is also kinda hilarious in context. To break it down somewhat simply, his section of story is filled with servants that are either partially or entirely fused together tales(i.e. headless horseman got fused with a giant named wolf) in Moriarty's case, he's fused with a german tale of a hunter who gained 7 magic bullets in a deal with a demon. The first 6 would always hit their mark, and the last would hit something he held dear. Now Moriarty was working with a demon god from the previous story section to try and kill the MC. So they abuse the story he's fused with, first splitting Moriarty's personality into a good and bad Moriarty, to make him care dearly for the MC, and then they MAKE A WHOLE BUILDING IN THE SHAPE OF A GUN BARREL all in order to use an asteroid/meteor as the 7th bullet to try and kill the MC and destroy the earth.
TL:DR he literally tried to use an asteroid to kill the MC at one point in the story, and obviously failed.
So, the Thomas Edison thing is technically incorrect: it is ONLY when he appears in the American Singularity is he fused with every U.S. President, outside of his appearance there it is stated to JUST be Thomas Edison, it is only due to the circumstances in the American Singularity that he did that to become more powerful to fight off the singularity's antagonists.
Also from his source media, Fate/Requiem Voyager is NOT mixed with The Little Prince, he's a little boy since it's the HUMAN Throne of Heroes, which turns things into more humanoid appearances that usually aren't. Additional fun facto: Lore-wise his class is not actually Foreigner, he's only Foreigner in FGO since they developers didn't want to add a new class for only him (and possibly astronauts and what not), his actual class is the Voyager Class.
I kinda hope some US presidents would show up as servants though, could be cool. Like Washington
@ladyholiday3863 Well, from mat books, we have confirmation of Washington and Lincoln's classes. Rider and Saber, respectively (Lincoln is Saber cause axe). But yeah, I'd like to actually see one someday and not just have Washington off screen to Medb.
Where did you get the ‘human Throne of Heroes turning things more humanoid’ bit from? Not all Servants are humaniod, such as Pale Rider, Humbaba, and Watcher from Strange Fake, or the usual form of Kijyo Koyo from the same event/source as Voyager. 99% of Servants are humanoid, because most non-humaniod things dont form enough of a legend of their own to become a Servant, i.e. Lobo, who is a Phantom Spirit.
Voyager just took the form of the Little Prince for easier communication with his Master.
@NoxarBoi The Human Throne of Heroes is an actual lore thing that's been brought up mostly in context with Shuten actually, was mentioned in an event, though I forget which one (pretty sure its also been used in reference to Red Hare since the Horse didnt look like that at all in life and is confirmed not to actually be Lu Bu or have him mixed in there). But no, Voyager was SPECULATED to be The Little Prince in and out of the universe, but that was deemed incorrect. From what I remember of reading, Requiem, it's never stated he actually has them as a part of his Spirit Origin.
But yes, Lobo is pure fiction in Fate/ unlike some others that are historical in Fate/'s world. Albeit he's mixed with the Invisible Man and the Headless Horseman, hence why his true name is Hessian-Lobo: he got a human with him so he himself does not change as he's sort of being used as a mount.. Koyo lorewise lived as her humanoid self but looked like a T-Rex since she got enamored by a skeleton of one she found. Watcher's true form, despite what the TM Wiki seems to imply, is confirmed NOT to be the giant whale. That's just Moby Dick as one of her many shadows. Humbaba is made of nearly 3,000 children souls and was made by the gods of Mesopotamia to be a "complete human being" in all tense and purposes: Humbaba is considered human despite being monstrous... Pale Rider isn't the one from the actual book of revelations but a conceptual servant of disease and sickness. He's a shadow that abstractly looks human shaped, riding the wind ,humanity, and the world itself. it's weird and inconsistent. I won't lie. A lot of this series is, since despite my ramblings I agree with you on some of these things but since it was mentioned we summon Servants from the Human Throne of Heroes, things that aren't humanoid take on semblance of the appearance of a human even if vaguely... it's why a space probe, an apple, an explosion, a city, and the concept of fairy tales take on human appearances with the very latter's case lore-wise specifically taking on the appearance of their Master as a child (well, when their memories of a certain character aren't popping up anyways).
Paul Bunyan's noble phantasm actually is that short because Nasu (the guy behind Fate) insists on not letting the game have a skip button for battle animations (which makes repetitive farming for items...well, not fast), and Bunyan's character artist more or less went "Well fuck you too" and gave her the shortest NP animation possible.
She's not really viable for farming these days after years of power creep, but it's the thought that counts.
I got into Fate pretty recently and going from the masterpiece and serious Fate Zero anime to Thomas Edison's Noble Phantasm here was... pretty interesting.
Well who doesen't like a franchise with variety, right?
I would like to inform everyone, Saber's VA streamed Fate/Samurai on youtube yesterday
“This is my favorite servant”
*shows Hokusai
Ah, I see you’re a man of culture too
There's just so much to love there
Nico I know you've been battling TH-cam for a long time now but showing Orion's "bear" cakes might push your channel over the edge.
Nico: "... Thomas Edison?"
Rest of the call: "NO F***ING WAY!"
Ah, the bonkers galaxy brain moments.
46:06 actually the existence of the “Nemo Series” has nothing to do with Captain Nemo but his master who summoned him.
Long story short Nemo’s master who is a major supporting character of the FGO lostbelt arc cast has a particular magical ability that allows her to compartmentalize her brain in order to multi task. Due to their master servant relationship Nemo has inherited this ability and use literally compartmentalize his body creating the “Nemo Series” to serve all the roles necessary to manage a submarine.
Also this particular summoning of Nemo is not just Nemo, this Nemo also has the name and powers of the Greek god Triton son of Poseidon which explains when Nemo has a conch shell staff and blue hair highlights.
53:30 fun fact: the name of the moriarty is literally reichanboch. He is literally lugging around his own coffin as a multipurpose weapon.
Another fun fact: the reason why moriarty is an archer servant is more so due to the fact that this particular summoning of him also have qualities of a man known as the Freeshooter the main character of a German opera whose power moriarty is using for a specific purpose in one of the stories of FGO Epic of Remnant.
34:15 It would be better with subtitles. He literally says the "I came, I saw, I conquered" thing
Trivia: Arjuna Alter's first animation is his NP in Samurai Remnant. Here it's just a regular attack because why not.
Arjuna was a demigod (iirc)
Arjuna Alter was a fusion of the entire indian pantheon
Same with Kagetora and Kenshin (who's an avatar of Bishamonten)
YES! The exact point of the Paul Bunyan NP is that its short. Their origin is from a long running web comic Learning with Manga (where Oda is from originally) about FGO where the creator always complains about NP being unskippable.
Many FGO players would have a highly leveled Paul Bunyan just because he is one of the easiest to farm with NP wise.
On an unrelated note: disappointed you didn't show Nico Jean D'arc Alter Lilly Santa, one of the most Nasu of all servants
Fairly certain Nobu came from GudaGuda, which is a different beast entirely. Still a gag series, but not the same as Learning with Manga.
Nobunaga came from GudaGuda, not LMW
Im kinda disappointed they didn't go into any of the "sussy" ones but i guess nico has a reputation to keep
Oh...oh I know what you mean. Yeah well...the comment would be flipping and dipping. But yeah I wouldn't want the rep to be..blown out of portion.
When I made the list it was under with the intention of being ones Nico is likely to be able to figure out, and doesn’t spoil other games.
I’ve known Nico long enough to have a good tell on his knowledge set
The well-known "sussy" Servants are from official installments that would almost certainly be spoilers.
Don't even know what those sussy servants are
Several of the "sussy" characters I can think of are OCs like the Sakura 5 and The Nun. So making Nico guess them would be a little unfair.
About the story of Don Quijote de la Mancha, he was actually just an old man who really loved Knight stories, so much so he tried to become a knight. Problem is, the medieval times was ages ago at this point and he was a bit crazy setting himself out to rescue the beautiful and equally non existent Dulcinea. Yes he was the town's weirdo and people did make of him a laughing stock, he's also an antiheroe in that regard and his story tends to see him go along other people's stories. It's actually a good read, been a while though.
My scoring for NicoB.
Nico got 26/31, 9 w/o hints. or ~84% + 1% per w/o hint guesses.
So in total he got 93%. He got an A.
Excellent work NicoB. We will make a Fate Fan of you yet.
Glad Holmes, Moriarty, and Da Vinci all showed up as some of my favorites. Too bad they didn't show Moriarty's bartender costume since I quite like that one.
Also some Ys 8 music played at one point in the background and I'm again reminded Nico should really play that game, it's incredible.
So funny thing, we did show off not only the bartender outfit, but also Young Moriarty. They were just cut in editing for some reason
This is the best Fate Servant Quiz of all time, good for Fate Newbies in a non-spoiler way for the other Fate Works.
That was fun. I was a bit disappointed that Paul Bunyan wasn't in the list, only to have her show up as the bonus round and Nico to get it immediately. I've used that character to just show how weird Fate/Go can get. I've read that she is (or was) a good farming Servant just because her NP was so short.
She was the bonus round cause me and Gill (who’s australian) were arguing over how well known Paul was. I told him every American Knows Bunyan, he insisted it wasn’t well known.
So I snuck her in as a bonus round to spite him
@@tornic531 Good choice! I'm still surprised that Nico got it that fast though. Paul feels like a good starter one, like 2nd or 3rd.
Wishing to the Holy Grail for a part 2. Love this idea so much Nico❤
Honestly a great video, and love the implication that more fate stuff should 100% happen cause of the avoidance of spoiler characters!
Also hell yeah Bunyan my beloved child, proof that her design is without flaw, as is every other part of my tiny child baby
"All servants must have died at some point"
Skadi: ...
so fun fact: Tesla is a real life mad scientist, he invented a death ray (albeit intending it for peaceful, non-murdery reasons) and in general seemed to have been an odd man.
Can't forget the supposed device that matched frequencies matter vibrated at, shaking a building
He also fell in love with a pigeon
This was so fun to watch. Also awesome music pick. A bit disappointed he couldn't guess Calamity Jane when you know Wild Arms. Using Wild Arms music during that section is a nice touch.
I appreciated the Shadow Hearts:Covenant music for Anastasia, where she was actually a party member in that game.

Nico getting Paul Bunyan right of the bat with the ominous music cut off
Was hilarious
Bro when he called Voyager’s NP sad I felt that. As someone who hasn’t read Requiem, I know that exact tone they are going for.
A space object that died.
My husband: THE CHALLENGER!?
perfect timing cuz yamato is now in the mobile game over at japan
here's a PROPER, full expanation about Don Quixote:
Don Quixote was an old, lonely noble who spent a LONG time reading books. eventually something happened and he decided to become a knight and go on an adventure to 'rescue a princess', so he grabbed random old armour he had and a horse and took along either a random poor guy or jsut some poor guy who worked for him, Sancho, and he went on silly, comedic adventures where he thought evrything in his comletly ordinary, ''modern day' (for the time) spain was some sort of fantasy thing.
He wsn't ORDERED to go anywhere or do anything, this was somethig he randomly decided on his own that he thought was reality.
But yah the most famous part of the story is how he, at the apex of whatever the fuck is going on with him, decides 1) that a bunch of windmills are giants and 2) they kidnapped the princess he made up in his mind, leadng him to unsusccessfully attac them.
Techically this DOES mean his companion is TECHINICALLY genderbent, as she's I'M GUESSING his sane, long suffering companion Sancho who's like trying to talk sense to this crazy old man. I guess the idea is she is sancho, his horse and ALSO the princess he is searching for.
The genderbend thing is unfortunately incorrect, from what I understand, Don himself is Don Quixote and Sancho combined, then the girl is simply the waitress who he called princess mixed with his horse
Paul Bunyan is one of my favorite servants. Support berserkers are rare, and she does her job really well for a low rarity servant. Also her lore is pretty sad.
Napoleon: Why? Because I am here! Was that supposed to be a my hero reference?
The phrasing in Japanese is a bit different so probably not.
Feels more Kamina from Gurren Lagann to me
It's kind of funny that you guessed Tokugawa for Nobunaga because he served under Nobunaga.
Yeah there's some weird specific shit even within fate's brand of turning stuff more anime.
Caesar looks like that because the saber class sucks for him and he would apparently look more like you'd expect as a Rider.
There's also Jack the Ripper since no one knows who they really are they show up in different forms for each class (the initial being very anime bullshit, while another being a noble gentleman just mentioned as an appearance that "felt right" to a third version of Jack but not having an official servant yet, the third one is...weird in how they work so I'm not gonna explain cause if you do the animes you'll probably run into them.)
So a fun fact about Paul Bunyan is that she is a servant made by Riyo, a famous comic artist for fgo, well known in the community
And one of his on running jokes in the comics is that NPs take too long and they should add a skip button for them
That is why Bunyan has such a short NP
The shortest in the entire game in fact
Never knew that buying a figure from FGO would send Nico into this state.
We all know what is this
This just nico choosing his new figurines and statues
i havent started the vid but im already laughing
this is gonna be so good
Made just seeing the first sips of the video..oh man I'm having a great time
Nico to Merlin: I would let him do terrible things to me and I’d thank him for it.
Julius Ceaser in Fate lore was buff when he was alive, Cleopatra commenting on how different servant Julius looks. He's fat as a servant to symbolize the maasive amount of amassed wealth and prosperity of Rome during the time. He's no less strong while fat.
Also interesting is that his charisma stat is so high is that people consider him to still be just as attractive as he was when he was buff.
I really enjoyed this, so much in fact that i was sad it ended. And you also did really well , there was even some i was surprised you got.
Kind of funny, Yamato just got added to jp for the new years servent and i think yamato is a neat servent in fgo, even has a lot of animations from the game
"...who are exclusive to that game..."
Except Fate Grand Order is the literal Avengers Endgame of the Fate Franchise and it's easier to count the servants in other games that are NOT in FGO :D
Blackbeard's actually an interesting character. Canonically, the way he acts the way he does is to lower everyone's guard and look less intimidating. Blackbeard's TRUE persona is still the Devil of the Sea, Edward Teach, Captain Blackbeard, but he more or less pretends to be anything but. Something about wanting to fit in with his Master.
Also, cool thing about Foreigners is that they go out of their way to hide their more... Eldritch sides. You don't see their "True Form" until you get them to their final ascension stage, and this transformation also changes their Noble Phantasm's aesthetic in most cases. FGO introduced a lot of classes that are pretty damn foreign to the main "3 knights, 3 calvalry, Berserker" servant set, and I think it does it in a good way that doesn't make things too convoluted.
These types of reaction video's always make me eye-roll a bit but Im glad Nico seemed to have fun with this one. Also im glad they chose servants that aren't spoilers to any Fate media i'd want Nico to check out in the future like Extra and the og Stay Night.
That was the idea when I made the list yeah, to avoid other spoilers
@@tornic531 Good job!
@@tornic531good job, definitely the best quiz ever made
@@tornic531 tbf, I feel there are _some_ "spoilers" that would've been okay. Like, specifically Servants whose identity isn't much of a secret even in the story they originally appeared in, pretty sure Robin Hood would've been one of those, and I think many of the Servants in Apocrypha also reveal their true name very early on, I think there's a scene where the entire Black Faction just reveals their True Names to each other, except for Saber because his Master blocks him, and even then, I don't think it takes that long after. Jeanne also pretty much just throws her name right out there. Granted I'd still consider Saber of Reds identity a big spoiler even though it's also quite early on, but that's mostly due to ties to other stories in the Franchise.
Let's See how Nico Does! I will be grading him.
Servant One: A good easy Start, not surprised he got it
Servant Two: Took an Extra Guess, but yay Brobeard!
Servant Three: NICO'S BULLSHIT POWERS ACTIVATE!
Servant Four: and our first fail.

Servant Six: You thought it was Moses but it's ME, DIO!
Servant Seven: Thank you DR Artist for making this easy for him.
Servant Eight: Half Point for getting the Outer God
Servant Nine: He got Beansprout
Servant Ten: Going with his Gut worked.
Servant 11: He got it after a hint my Homies.
Servant 12: FRENCH MIGHT IS HERE!
Servant 13: Two Hints and he got it.

Servant 30: and Fail 4.
26.5 out of 30, good Job Nico.
He messed up Nobu as well
Damn, Nico growing that NicoBeard
5:40 the throne of heroes isn't bound by concept of time. past, present, and future heroes are available to be summoned if you have the catalyst for it.
Well, Rider Da Vinci isn't a power source. But she is used to control the Shadow Border's teleportation tech. A living computer, not an engine.
Blackbeard fact: He was supposed to be disgusting because actual Blackbeard depicted himself to be scary and disgusting of the time
Caesar fact: He’s fat because of political propaganda of later time
Oddyesss fact: He does in fact look like a Super Sentai/Power Rangers
Nobunaga fact:
Orion and Artemis: Fun fact, Artemis does in fact look that sexy. So sexy a titan question why she is a goddess of the hunt and not of love
Voyager fact: It is dying resently.
Nico's BS powers were at full force in this one, hooo boy. That said, guessing fates insane interpretation of history is always a fun watch.
Also a fun tidbit about Holmes in Fate. While the whole class thing is usually just a side note for most characters, Holmes being a Ruler class is very intentional, as Rulers are intended to only oversee things and not directly interfere with the world itself unless necessary. Basicly if Holmes was anything but a Ruler, Holmes would be able to freely solve literally every mystery in existence, notably exposing the secrets of magic to the world and changing the course of humanity in the process. Thus he's asigned as a Ruler so that his deductive abilities are limited to only what's nessesary.
You should do a round 2 with even more fate characters! I would watch it!
