AniNews Why must you always forget sexy boy spartacus in your polls
Begs for us to vote for caster of red, uploads a rather disappointing video. RIP. Welp, back to Atalanta boyz~ \o/
+Cake# Unfortunately only room for 5 :(
AniNews could you do an episode explaining abilities you missed because the show wasn't done.
The ability to induce PTSD in people with regrets is hardly useless against Heroic Spirits that almost all have regrets.
Ruler had no regrets coming into the war, but Will still managed to get to her.
Someone with the regrets of Artoria? Forget about it.
It could also easily backfire on him if he tried to induce PTSD on a spirit who has accepted their regrets and past as part of their choices. Trying to break someone who's already broken could only lead to pissing them off
@@phantomwraith1984 yess! And we know it because something similar happens to Akame ga kill.
@@uselesshero.official exactly. Dont try to traumatize someone who has made peace with their demons.
I'd love to actually see Shakespeare try that, and see it hilariously backfire on him xD
@@phantomwraith1984 Shakespeare : How are you still standing!?
Cu : EPIC HEROES LIKE US DON'T NEED A SECOND LIFE
@@phantomwraith1984 This seriously won't work on someone like Iskandar or Gilgamesh but imagine of Archer Emiya or Diarmud-
Shakespear is a support servant. Pair him with capable masters such as kiritsugu and they can become a deadly pair. (Noble phantasm sniper anyone?)
O god Shakespeare during fate/zero
Kiritsugu + Shakespeare would be extremely powerful, no one would have been able to stand up to Kiritsugu's cunning, and given how Shakespeare is all about tragedies, he would definitely be on board with Kiritsugu
would also work since Fate zero has a tragic end
Tactical nuke sniper... Arash's Stella eat your fucking heart out! With Shakespeare you don't need to actually die
Kiritsugu directly stated that he would've worked better with a Caster or Assassin class servant
Not gonna lie
I want caster to live to the end of this
he did, and he saw it all fall as he docomented it
@@peynnep6483 Speaking of which, I wonder what happened to said documentations actually and if anyone ended up seeing them.
"He's useless in a normal holy grail war" Literally about half of the servants are horrible in a normal holy grail war. Vlad needs to stay in Walcha in order to be OP, Frankenstein's monster's ability is literally a suicide button, Semiramis needs the hanging gardens of Babylon to even truly tap into her power(sounds OP until you realize other heroes will want to kill her as fast as possible), Jack kills her master right out the get go(meaning instant death to her), Spartacus runs wildly to his death, and Avicebron is Jack and Semiramis put together. Both Sabers, Both Archers, Both riders, and Lancer of red are the only viable heroes for a normal Holy Grail War.
Irishcrossing
And Even then Astolfo is pretty weak compared to the others without the right conditions.
Don't forget Karna probably would require a massive amount of Mana to be as effective as he was, Assassin of Red was constantly flooding the room where the Masters of Red were with Mana replenishing poisons that made them ridiculously susceptible to suggestion. Honestly you'd need to be Rin, Kayneth/Sola-Ui, Illya, Sakura, or Waver to actually use him without killing yourself from Mana exhaustion (don't forget Waver kept Iskandar constantly manifested and constantly using the Gordius Wheel, despite being a weak mage he had surprisingly high Mana capacity).
Lancer Being in Romania only makes him Hercules in Greece tier (which is supposed to be obscenely broken). Being outside of Romania would still be an absurdly powerful Heroic spirit especially if he has time to claim land as his. Demonic Defender of the State lets him have his Romania buffs anywhere in the world so long as he can set up and mark ley lines. Lancer is still ridiculously strong.
On Semiramis, they just have to hide long enough to build the Hanging Gardens. Plenty of heroic spirits have been summoned before the war to prepare. Hercules was summoned 2 months before the Fuyuki Grail war. I mean it isn't as if all servants know where other servants are and masters do summon servants early to prepare for the wars.
Llamma Pajama
Semiramis required real world materials to make Hanging Gardens, most of which took between 2 weeks and 3 months to gather, and that was with both the Mage's Association and the Church providing supplies.
Honestly the only Fuyuki Grail War viable Servants of Red were Mordred, Atlanta, and Shakespeare.
Reasons why the others aren't viable:
Karna's Mana requirements would kill you or slowly destroy your nerves.
Achilles would put you in the same boat as Karna.
Spartacus will kill you if you try to control him.
And Semiramis requires to much prep time to be viable and even then you'd need to alter the summoning ritual to be able to summon her with her Caster abilities otherwise she's just a poison based Assassin.
Reasons why Saber, Archer, and Caster are viable:
Mordred doesn't require as much Mana as Karna or Achilles but is just as strong a fighter; however her Noble Phantasm is very costly.
Atlanta is all around a pretty good pick, she's got okay skills, she's got decent attributes, her Noble Phantasm isn't that costly and so long as you aren't going after children or being a terrible person she'll be moderately okay with you.
Shakespeare is where it gets fun he is a complete non-combatant but he has the skill Enchant which allows him to create Noble Phantasms, not Mystic Codes, you see he lacks the Item Creation skill which is a Caster's main way of empowering their Master, but this skill allows him to make anything a Noble Phantasm so long as he can write about it without "breaking" the story.
His Noble Phantasm is actually quite strong, it's not meant to do damage it's meant to distract, this makes Shakespeare dangerous as his master could kill the enemy servant using one of his Enchant created Noble Phantasms while their unable to effectively fight back.
If used by say a master like Shirou then Shakespeare would be the biggest threat on the field as he is empowering an already decent fighter with a Noble Phantasm of up to B+ quality.
Be warned though Shakespeare will be writing your story as the war happens this will have an effect on the outcome, Amakusa tried to negate this by using a command seal and Shakespeare swapped who he was writing about to get around it he makes Amakusa's story a Tragedy by making Sieg the protagonist retro actively altering events so Sieg would escape the vat instead of dying.
Astolfo still has the advetage to be to have a variety of magic arsenal and he tries to help his master likely no masterkilling. and he is cheerful. he is better than most assasins and casters.
That enchant magic is really useful if the masters are like Kiritsugu or Kirie...in fact any of the master in fate/zero HAHAHAHA
Enchant on Volumen Hydrargyrim?
Oof.
Except Waver Velvet.
@@Paradox586 and Kariya Matou
I really liked Shakespeare in Fate. I thought he was funny and just enjoyable to watch.
Anyone who plays D&D can spot Shakespear as a bard right off the bat.
I did that in a recent campaign and tried to model him like the caster from fate. Now being a bard was to uninteresting so I decided to kill him. He's currently an undead necromancer who will try to play theatre with his corpses.
@@PixelGamer05HD cool
@@PixelGamer05HD shit, that's amazing
But what if he was the DM?
My favorite Caster by far.
And that is why I grailed him to Lvl 80 in FGO... fave.
U like the Zero one
Close you cant beat gil de railles
I love Shakespeare in this as he has a personality and bring humour into the scenes he was in
@@jonsnor4313 gilles is the best along with shakespeare and merlin and medea
Uses the terms 'magecraft' , 'magic' and 'sorcery' interchangeably.
*[HEAVY BREATHING]*
you've got to forgive us muggles. Oh grand mage
Youjo4u forgive them, for they not know what they do wrong.
Its just fancy names for fictional stuff😂
Magic is for gay asses
@@Written_in_the_Starss Greetings Citizen, while you would be correct in most other forms of media Fate is an exception where magecraft is what is performed by servants/mages and magic is on a whole other level. At first I too thought it was like tomayto tomahto (Can't really get the saying across without misspelling it) but after I learned the difference it was like tomato to-nuclear warhead.
TROLLSPEARE 😂👌🏾
ashmazyn brospeare!
HELL NO BWAHAHAHAHA
Yeetliam Shakespeare
Now, is it possible that Shakespeare just wrote the entire story of fate apocalypha?
No because Apocrypha is garbage.
Manthe it’s not totally garbage but they need to stop making the honor of the stories into bulshit by making man into woman there’s enough woman in legend and they don’t show the real power of almost none of the servants
@@feritperliare2890 No, the issue is characters being boring. Except Mordred and her master, everyone was bland, especially the main character.
@@manthe3711 what makes them garbage is the main character and jeanne plot
@@socrates1796 Trying to find what went wrong in Apocrypha is the wrong way to look at things. It was ALL garbage, except Saber (Mordred) and her master. Those two were good, the rest though ? All trash, cliché or boring. Apocrypha was mediocre, like Stay night. Only Fate/zero is good.
It's actually pretty funny, all things considered, that Shakespeare is such a high-tier servant in FGO, even being only a 2*, that he's used in megaboss hunting parties, purely from his support tools.
It's even funnier than the only other low-rarity servant that compares is another author, hans-christian andersen, for the same reason(though a defensive type of support rather than offensive).
He isn't weak , his skill is powerful...that can change the fate or outcome of the battle . As Shirou continuously kept on saying , don't write tragedy on me .
I though he said "Don't write tragedy" as in don't document the war as if it had an bad ending(even though it kinda did)
That was more of a pride thing and the intent was " dont talk shit about me" of course being Shakespeare that is exactly what he would do and make sure everyone knows it far and wide. About how he failed or a fool or a deranged monster even a writing a martyr death would be unacceptable to him because it puts a bad twist in his story. Its not that it would have any real power anyway.
If u have seen in Shinjuku pseudo singularity , Moriarty binded Shakespeare n tried making him an alter n using Shakespeare's power he made various monsters .
in fate grand order there's Mozart who was called a great magician and was interested in magic and the occult during his lifetime. So I would love to see Mozart Caster in anime.
I would kill to see the France Singularity get adapted
A Fate/grand order anime with all singularitys would be cool.
You know who be better then Mozart? Salrai with his sick piano skills...
Shakespeare plus Emiya Shiro, now Archer Emiya can finally wield his true weapon of a Skillet Noble Phantasm.
Shakespeare actually wouldn't be as bad a servant if he's paired up with the proper master. A manipulative master who can hold their own in combat with Servants amd other Masters could be very effective in a typical Holy Grail War. Shakespeare could in theory use his illutions to confuse the enemy and direct them to fight each other, thus making the job easier for his master to land a killing blow with an enchanted item.
Ryan Walters See Bazett and Angra Mainyu if you want to see how a strong master cooperates with a weaker servant, it's actually super deadly.
Shakespeare + Kiritsugu= InstaWin
On the flip side, Shakespear might be a big problem if Kiritsugu ever got caught in his NP.
Kiritsugu would probably commit suicide if he was entangled in Shakespere's NP
Well you can't fight servants unless you are a servant is what saber said once. But Shakespeare could make all Kerry's equipment to reach Np lvls, not too strongs but can you imagine if the contender could hit servants?
Maik that's absolute nonsense. Of course mages can fight servants, wether they can win or not is the obvious question that comes up, andfar more often than not, they lose.
Rin kills Heracles once with a surprise attack
Rin beats the shit out of Medea
Shirou cut Gils arm off
Etc etc etc
Servants are definitely vulnerable to attacks from Mages, although there is only a handful of mages in the world that could stand up or surpass servants (the True Magic users, Aoko Aozaki and Kischur Zelretch) most of the time, for a servant to be beaten by a mage, it has to be played into a situation that heavily favours the mage.
you are talking about ancestors or mages with some connection to the root.
Shirou get Gil's arm just because he refuses to fight him seriously. And Rin is a smart mage but not strong as Medea whom in all Fate routes doesnt have a magemaster who supplies mana, therefore she was fighting all alone.
Greetings Citizen, So Shakespeare as a servant can essentially turn the master into an "I win all my battles by shouting long enough" correct? Seems kind of humorous to me.
Hail to the Empire
8:29-8:37. If William Shakespeare really was the best writer in history and was properly motivated, he probably could write a story where his master could become a little weaker than Gilgamesh.
+Nathaniel Shaw, The Overclocked Thinker Tbh i was thinking that since frankenstein was technically only existed in literature, then wouldnt characters from shakespeare's works qualify to be summoned in the war as well if there's enough of a legend surrounding them. Just my thoughts haha
Well in fate grand order, Shakespeare can summon character in his play as phantom, weaker than servant. If there would any writer, author servant with another same type servant, they can combine their specialty like Shakespeare noble phantasm enchanted, Hans Christian Anderson noble phantasm which can change a person to their most powerful state that they can be, Alexandre Dumas skill that can create noble phantasm from scratch or Scheherazade noble phantasm to summon her character from 1001 Arabian Night, all of these can turn a human to powerful being or boost a servant greatly. These Caster type are somewhat weak but god their support skill can turn a sex crazy nun into a demon of lust that can kill servant(spoiler from fate extra ccc).
AniNews whether the author or the characters of his work would be summoned should depend on who is more famous. Shakespear is the author of many famous works, his fame is more than any one of his works. One other hand, frankenstein's monster has been recast and retold in many ways and mediums. His fame is higher than his author's whom I do not know
Shakespeare's power is more towards reenacting events than powering up a target. He has his skill to enchance but it's pretty limited in it's capabilities. If you want to see another Author Servant that can actually do what you described, just look up Hans Christian Anderson. Much like Shakespeare, that guy is completly useless, more so than Shakespeare cause he has no defensive skills like Shakespeare. What's insane is his Noble Phantasm which literally makes his master into a Main Character, with plot armor and etc... It's a Noble Phantasm that can make a perverted nun into a literal God. It's only setback being that being storylines are progressive, making the target a MC, doesnt do much early into the war, but as the war goes forward and the climax is near it's power increases.
Nathaniel Shaw, The Overclocked Thinker curb stomping never does good to any story
"Master won't stand a chance against a servant"
*Literally half the Fuyuki population would like to object*
I could be wrong but it seemed like he was controlling the whole war. He made a tragic end but would not reveal it and I feel that shiro thought this meant he would die after having his wish. In most of Shakespeare's works it seem like there is always someone with a wish or a goal that gets close to their goal only to never truly have it. So was was series, everyone some what got what they wanted but in a some what or absolutely disappointing way from saber of black and Lancers duel, to Frankenstein's love nothing was long lasting or in a way that the ones wishing for something had planed. I always thought this was what Shakespeare was doing the entire time, writing out the major events which is why assassin of black felt he was a huge threat.
After you're done all the Apocrypha servants will you move on to some servants from fate grand order or the main fate stay series plus fate zero also love your videos
+Aquil Hudson Thanks bud I appreciate it. And right now Im not too certain yet, since I havent thought about it too much, but Im thinking maybe fate extra last encore. I may do FGO but not making any promises now haha XD
AniNews already because I would love to see you do a video on Altera or scáthach
+Aquil Hudson Hmmm Ill keep that in mind. Thanks for the suggestion bud
+Aquil Hudson Well, Altera is an Extra timeline servant so if he does cover the Extra Servants, she has chances to be in there.
From his narrations in the series, in his room, he seems to know many things which he was not there to witness for example jeanne's love for seig. So I would think that he has a form of the clairvoyance skill. Makes sense if he is to be the observer of the war. This makes him more viable in a normal war where he can listen onto any masters plan and a servants true name
"As brief as possible." Goes into explaining for like six seconds 😂 You kept your word my good sir.
Shakespeare has a lot of utility that first folio essentially makes the enemy lose a command seal and he can creat noble phantasms
after seeing other casters in FGO, i think to qualify as a caster, at least for those that originate in 'recent' history, is to be credited with some form of 'creation'. While actual mages like Medea, Tamamoe-no-Mae, or Merlin whose legends put emphasis on their magical abilities, others like Mozart, Shakespeare and Edison were made caster because they created something that made them legends. So, in a way, if more modern age casters are confirmed, they would be scientist, artist, writers or composers in life
I mean we have Hans, Alexandre Dumas and Mozart we have plenty of odd casters
Shakespeare is pretty spooky when in the correct circumstances
Writer Casters basically are support characters, if you want to go by RPG terms. Normally, the Master supports the Servant through spells and the Command Seal, but in the case of writers, they can't fight at all, but instead buff up their Master to levels beyond what they're normally capable of. A much better example of a writer Caster appears in Fate/Extra CCC: Hans Christian Anderson. His Master is just a nun, and nobody really all that special, but thanks to his Noble Phantasm, in their words, he turns her from a "human being" to a "main character", making her strong enough to be the final boss of the game, while he takes the place a Master normally would in battle and aids her with healing and such.
Let me try really hard to find a use for Shakespeare in a regular holy grail war
He’s really, really, REALLY BAD at direct combat, so his main course of action would probably be to mentally and emotionally attack enemy masters with First Folio. By breaking their spirit and inflicting “despair” upon them, he can render them easy to kill (or drive them into killing themselves). His main problem then, would be servants defending their masters, but the only way to really avoid First Folio altogether is to not have had any regrets or sins at all, and there is no Heroic Spirit that exists without those. So he’d probably just catch them in First Folio as well.
With an Enchant-boosted master surprising enemy servants and disabling them long enough to be caught in First Folio, a semi-reliable strategy of killing enemy masters could be carried out.
Of course, this is all speculation, and Shakespeare would likely end up losing in almost every case studied. Tell me what you think.
He`s too situational to stand a chance in a normal grail war, unless his master is as clever as him. he can be really effective in the right conditions tho, just like jack the ripper noble phantasm, in the fifth grail war almost half of the masters and servants were female (saber, rin, sakura, rider, caster, ilya, bazett) while in the fourth one only saber is present, and even then she has high magic resistance for "maria the ripper" to be performed properly.
He did actually manage to strengthen his Master to a point where they defeated a Servant, in one of the Subcategory Grail Wars of the Apocrypha world, so he does have some merit. But even then, you are pretty much right that he requires a really good Master to stand a chance of winning.
I think if shakespeare were to be summoned by Kiritsugu Emiya in the fourth holy grail war or even Kotomine Kirie, he would have been one of the most useful servants around, since they didn't care all that much about fighting dirty. Shakespeare isn't meant to be a powerhouse I think, but rather a support servant for capable masters, or in FGO, a support servant to make your powerhouse servants even better.
In theory Shakespeare could be used to target the Master himself to cause breakdowns of communications and target their loved ones into acting for Caster and his Master by proxy.
Many of Shakespeare plays revolve around character flaws and deception be they in Julius Caesar, Othello, or many other plays of his. It would makes sense that a Master of Shakespeare would have to think similarly to one of his characters: Honest Iago to use him and his talents effectively in a war.
Mitchell Alexander yes, exactly! His Noble Phantasm isn’t meant for combat; it breaks someone’s will. Given the right motivation, he could probably use it to, as you said, make opposing masters/their loved ones/random people act for you by proxy.
Shakespeare and his Master would win the war not through direct conflict, but by continuously assaulting the enemy masters’ mental and emotional health through his Noble Phantasm, only participating in combat long enough to get away. It would be a slow grind kind of thing, and it would definitely require a master who is very good at using Shakespeare effectively (and more importantly makes Shakespeare WANT to do what he’s being told to) but it would be a very viable way to win, IMO.
A Shakespeare being the Servant of a living Emiya sounds like something I'd want to see.
Now I can imagine that IF the Fate series will keep going for hundreds of years or started hundreds of years in the future, Harry Potter or Voldemort would end up being in the Caster Class, similar to how the Frankenstein monster became a Berserker.
I bet sooner or later Steve will be summoned as eighter a Saber/Archer/Caster and his NP would be creative mode for 1 minute with spamming enderdragon mobs
shakespear make me hate jean more because
first folio show:her mother cry,children tourture,soldier died
jean reaction: meh
first folio show:husbando burn, decapitate
Jean reaction :YAMEROOO.
I absolutelly understand this, I felt this too when I saw, although I must admit it's mostly the adaptation to blame.
If you look back at when Jeanne first showed up, she took the body of a living girl, this is the reason why Jeanne cannot go into spirit form and as to walk around to whatever destination she wants.
If this was regular Jeanne without the girl Laticia, she would not even bat an eye at seeing Sieg burn or head.
The one in love with Sieg is Laticia and it's her emotions that are fucking with Jeanne, ence why there's the weirdly placed look-a-like crying and begging to Jeanne.
In the end though, it's just a mediocre scene that runs as cliche, but at least the novel made it passable. The anime's scene only saving graces were Shakespeare and Gilles.
jorgiguel that does make sense however does that mean Latricia also felt nothing for children being murder ?
well, I guess you could say that. To be honest, I don't think the author thought that much about the hole thing other than "love is stronger than other emotion" cliche. But yeah, it does make it look like Latricia cares more about Seig than children dieing.
I think it's more of an "subjective and objective" opposition in the matter of the children Jack is made out of. Chances are Jeanne and Laeticia are influencing each other, so despite the fact that Laeticia, the person, would indeed feel, the fact is that she's directly connected to Jeanne.
So, feeling what Jeanne feels and seeing what she sees, it does make sense that, in the end, sharing knowledge of what was happening and what exacty Jack is, she would in the end let Jeanne put them to rest, since it was the objective best thing to do for all parties involved.
zzmukurosamazz in the original book, she felt disgusted by the children being murdered though
Actually, If you used Shakespeare correctly you could theoretically assassinate your way through a grail war. Have the Bard craft you a really strong weapon good for taking out mages, then use his noble phantasm to trap a servant in his shadow play while you kill the master. You could potentially win anyone on one fight by buffing yourself and removing servants from the equation. With this strat, you could even beat Gilgamesh. Assuming he dies when he is supposed to, the fucker.
At the end you said a Master can't stand up to a servant. While that is usually the case, there are some exceptions like Shiro fighting Gilgamesh or rin fighting caster in Fate Stay Night. Good video
Make me think of the Shakespeare of the anime nobunaga the fool.he just wanted to see the story go on&right it down. I think even umm the anime over the horizon i think it was called.
Finally thank you
"Please let me cover shakespear, please, please!"
-They do-
"He sucks and his real life was boring."
This guy has the power of Iambic Pentameter. Don't wanna mess with that shit.
Just Some Guy with a Mustache yet we meet again over and over again
Egads so sad
Quite personally I believe William Shakespeare to be one of the strongest support servants there is because for the simple fact of his Noble Phantasm is only limited to his master's imagination and his own
So granted if the master isn't capable to take on a servant William Shakespeare would be considered useless 2 a Master with no creativity or imagination
So, he is a fourth wall breaking narrator without actually breaking the fourth wall?
Filthy support classes...
It s probably because the vidro is old.
but all writters can be summoned as caster, even with no magic abilities (fate grand order and fate strange story. for the second, the caster is Alexandre Dumas. and he has similar powers)
Actually Shakespeare could be used in a normal grail war. As seen in unlimited blade works some masters can take on servants (the master of caster).
Hans Christen Anderson says hi
along side Amadeus mozart
I wrote a whole character with pretty much exaclty this kind of power: Picking into people fears and traumas, the character playing a theater piece and interfering to make the spell even stronger. I had NO idea this servant existed and now Im in despair...
When you grailed him in FGO, max out his skills and stats, then you are a MAN OF CULTURE.
In heindsight, Shakespeare can write important details into ordinary weapons for his master.
Came here after watching most recent episode
: ]
Shakespeare is actually OP when in the right hands if he was the servant of Kiri Emiya he could of made all of Kiri’s weapons into Noble Phantasms, this also could work on armour and clothes, now Kiri’s got boots that make him twice as fast, a suit that absorbs magic and physical attacks and it lets him heal from damage he takes. He could also of added a anti regeneration power to kiri’s weapons to stop the healing of wounds meaning Kiri could use hit and run tactics to slowly weaken his enemy
Also Caster could possibly use his enchant skill on even the grail.
These videos are great😁 also gets my brain going on cool ideas of other possible servants.
My personal favourite choice would be Fenrir as a berserker. Either a werewolf, actual wolf or even the usual animal person in anime. Just a good story behind him. One of the most powerful Norse gods who was bound after being betrayed. Pretty sure he kills Odin in the myths. So he’s literally the one who killed the king of all the gods.... that would be the sickest berserker of all time
useless? you just said this man can turn any item into a noble phantasm. I see endless possibilites for that.

NP apache helicopter
NP rocket launcher
NP exo suit
The problem is that, by essence, Masters are so much incredibly weaker than Servants that they couldn't hold their own. Sure, in a grail war like that of Apocrypha where Servants are fighting in factions, he has his uses, but in a classical one, well...
Since, realistcaly speaking, HGW are battle to the death between individuals, forming an alliance with another Master is something that could be done, but incredibly risky, and once again, save very few exceptions, normal humans can't compete against Servants, so even empowering his Master with Noble Phantasms wouldn't give any real advantage, save for a momentary element of surprise.
You'd still have to be able to match the speed and strenght of a Servant to fight on equal grounds. Even with an invicible armor, your bones would break upon impact, and your organs wouldn't whistand the shocks. Even with accelerated self-regeneration, pain would quickly drive you mad or render you unconscious, etc etc...
Lancelot already did an np jet in zero
No, not really. The weapon need to have potential to become a relic first and need to be very old. Something like Rocket launcher and AK-47 can't be transformed into NP unless you're lancelot
Lord Dri That is in the case of traditional Noble Phantasms. Shakespeare's ability might full well allow modern objects that aren't relics to be Phantasms since they're created.
Shakespeare’s most powerful Noble Phantism: Breaking the Fourth Wall
The conditions for the Caster class are a bit more complicated than that. I know of five Casters in Fate/, and technically only one was an actual mage, that being Medea. The other four Casters I know of are a knight turned child murderer, a playwrite, a golem maker, and the literal incarnation of nursery rhymes. Admitedly, in Fate/, Bluebeard has a book tied to Cuthulu, Golems are technically magic, magic and playwriting are both forms of art, and nursery rhymes are writing which is also art. The only thing I see connecting them really is they are all 'artists' in one way or another.
Shakespeare can make hundreds of noble phantasms for a hundred people and those people can overwhelm the enemy servants.
Awesome video bro! Loved Shakespeare in Apocrypha...
I feel like Shakespeare would have been a good fit for caster's master in fate stay night
Bakugo just flashed in my head when he said he regards everyone else as side characters.
“Who does this guy think he fucking is.. does he think he’s Shakespeare or what”
*reveals his true name*
*surprised Pikachu face*
I think you don't play Fate Grand Order to not know that it was not only Shakespeare that was summon under the Caster class without having any lore about using magic.
This are some sample: Hans Christian Andersen, Alexandre Dumas, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Zhuge Liang, Charles Babbage, Thomas Edison, Leonardo da Vinci, Sherlock Holmes, Marie Antoinette (Swimsuit), and Nero Claudius Caesar (Swimsuit). By the way, some of them like Da Vinci is powerful enough to fight other servants head on.
Wyvrus Griffion Sherlock is a ruler!
Sherlock has been summoned as both a ruler and caster, not to mention that he can be summoned as a saber and archer.
Some servants fit into more than one class, and some have been summoned in different classes.
Charles Babbage is a mecha
According to the wiki(which I admit could be wrong) he was able to enhance his master to a point where he was able to actually beat a normal Servant in a subspecific Grail War
he was in saints row, now fate but the role that he was in suited him and others around him
Shakespeare could fit well with Shirou Emiya since the man wants to do all the fighting himself anyway
nah emiya wouldnt like him because shakespeare is a manipulative and dirty servant kiritsugu is more of a match
Hey, I learned a lot in school, especially about Shakespeare so for me, it's not useless.
0:00 was the pitch for someBODY Once told me
It’s funny, Apothecra was how I got INTO Fate. Necromancer, Shakespeare, and Saber of Red were my favorites.
With his noble phantasm he is the itachi of the fate universe
but shakespear skill seem like a better version of projection because he could write about sword saying that it gave the power of it's wielder to have strength of servant and the weapon was second to non other then Excalibur and could only be use by his master,
His noble Phantasm doesn't do any damage
So basically it just causes EMOTIONAL DAMAGE
Very EFFECTIVE
If i remember right the king wanted Shakespeare's head but they never found them for making fun of the king in one of his plays
prob because he were summoned to the holy grail war and stayed there making fun of today's leaders
You dont expect Shakespeare but wait until Wiatt earp shows up
If you guys ever want a book series that has an incredible story like fate, but only in the sense of characters, read The immortal Nicolas Flammel
Book was amazing don’t get the fate comparison though
I had been taught in class that he had some connection to witchcraft and one of his friend in life was a prince who was a big fan of witchcraft. As a gift from one friend to another, he wrote Macbeth with a lot of witchcraft element in it. The witch community don't like what he did so they curse the play with bad luck to those who said it or perform in it.
A person doesn't become caster by being an exceptional mage just being incredibly wise and being able to perform miracles that baffle others make you caster class thats why some world leaders, and strategists end up in the caster class even though they have no mastery of magic
I actually liked reading shakespear, my whole class did though i think doing it as a group was part of that
also we actually surprised our english teacher with how well we grasped it
Red Caster`s skills as a whole reminded me of the creators in Re:Creators.
honestly, seems pretty powerful in a normal holy grail war... if it was long enough, he could simply escape any conflict with his self preservation untill only 1 other servant remained, then, at that point, he would likely have a large enough script to break their mind. No matter how strong the servant is, not all that many can resist tampering with their mind, and therfore, unless they had that specific skill to block it, would loose.
On the wiki it states that he can up his master thru enchantments to equal of an assassin class so even if his master weren’t shirou his master might be able to fight albeit he or she wouldn’t be likely to win but still it could work
2:37 I KNEW IT!! I wrote a whole essay about romeo and juliet for nothing.
I have a theory, that he is the master mind behind all the coincidences involving Sieg. like, Sieg aweakening, Siegfrind giving Sieg his heart in other to fullfil his own wish & Berserkers power latching on Sieg.
in theory shakespeare plus emiya equals op from hell. he could turn the dude himself into a noble phantasm
I love shakespeare in f/go and in the anime
Tbh Shakespeare might be one of my favorites, it's quite interesting how he can make anything into a noble phantasm reminds me of jack the rippers voland when fighting Hercules. But Jack's was more suited to battle
I thought Assassin was the weakest class Assassin caster berserk rider archer lancer and saber
Assassin is the weakest overall, but not the weakest physically, take away a caster`s magic an he/she would be vulnerable, take away an assassin noble phantasm and he/she still will be a treat to at least masters.
It also does vary a bit, depending on the Servant, as some Assassins and Casters are pretty formidable even against stronger Classes like Saber.
there is technically no such thing as weaker class
Saber class might get high parameters, but they can still have shitty noble phantasms
Lancer and archer have the same problem as saber tho they are more agile but weaker and less resilient
Berserker might have high stats but that depends on his madness enhencment
a caster can have powefull noble phantasms and beat any master
Riders powers depend soleny on his NPs
And assassins are made to kill masters not servants.
Absolutely right, although you can say what Classes are generally more powerful. Many Assassin and Casters are also more situational and require more preparation time, so they are often weaker in a straight on fight.
Regarding Riders, that's not quite true. FSN's Rider is extremely capable without using her NPs (her chain nails are not a NP), she just has a very shitty Master in Shinji. The Heaven's Feel route redeems her, thankfully.
2:15 PFFFFFTT. Like Shakespeare is anyone's favourite servant.
He is mine :)
One of my favorite characters in apocrypha
I remember a theory that Prospero in "Tempest", Shakespeare's last play, was a stand-in for himself, so when he was summoned I totally expected that to be his np. Especially since he is a caster.
Imagine Prospero got summoned in FGO like other literary figures.
😂👌🏽, I’ve waited so long😂
Soichiro would kick ass with shakespeares.
He is so powerful, he can even break the forth wall
Any master can fight a servant one on one. The dude from fate unlimited blade works held up against saber(king Arthur) ,shioru,rin and ended up winning. I think as long as your servant give you good enhancement spells on your body you can hold up against a servant.
So he would be a good match for masters like kotomine kirei and the proffesor from UBW, given that he can create NPs
Speaking of Casters, can you do Medea ?
You better do one of the lancers next!
+Yuu Homura Looks like its gonna be karna next haha
I'd love to have him as a servant. I'd have him give me a thousand noble phantasms as we watched all the other servants battle by the end I'd be a perfect hard counter to the only oponant I have to fight
you gonna need to give him mana to work on for that
Maybe he can change not only weapons but masters, creating from a master a story witch will turn the master in some kind of heroic spirit, if that is the case even in a normal war he would be pretty good.
P. S. :sorry for the English, not really my language
What it said: self preservation
What I imagined: the joestar secret technique
Shakespear as caster and Rin is his master ;)
I think Odysseus should be a servant.
Lancer(impaled Polyphemus)or Rider(most of the Odyssey is set at sea)class
His Noble Phantasm would be called: Trojan Horse, and have the ability to basically turn into a bait the target would go for(appears differently to all who see it)such as The Holy Grail, then self-destruct.
Landon Hayes why would a servant want to blow themselves up.
Edit: we already have a servant that suicide bombs look up Arash from Fate Grand Order
Zeranvor obviously he won’t be in the horse when it explodes
Odysseus should be archer, he has a famous bow.or rider.
Now I we think it well... He is so compatible with shirou emiya...
