You know in Irish mythology Cú Chulainn can do this thing called a warp spasm which turns him inside out and makes him go Mad. So Cú could be a Berserker, thanks for listening to my TED talk.
There is a Berserker Cu, but unfortunately, it’s based on the monster Gae Bolg is made from. It’s his Alter self created by Medb in a singularity, similar to how Gilles created Jeanne Alter.
Cu Alter mentioned that summoning his Riastriad self is bad news as he's nearly unkillable and uncontrollable based on an interview with Nasu. The same interview mentioned that even *Gilgamesh* wouldn't be able to stand up to him in a fight.
@@flipkiller8521 Daaang, seriously? That bad? Still, flashing some breasts at him should be enough to temporarily stall him because that was how they stopped his first Riastrad.
It would've been cool if lancer cu had an additional np where he can tap into that warp spasm and make himself a "berserker" for the time his NP is activated. It'd make for a really cool ability. But yeah, I think most of us are also still waiting on that true berserker cu
Whether it be as Proto, Lancer or Caster, he takes the spot as my favorite Servant. His personality is charming, his design is really appealing and his abilities in ANY class are top-notch. A lot of people underestimate him, because Kirei used him as an scout, but he is actually one of the strongest Servants of the Fate universe. Summoned in Ireland, he is at the same level that Heracles, Karna or Arturia. Basically, Cu is best dog. Now and ever. Great video, pretty informative.
10:00 "There are other endings, all of which either tragically, or comically, end." *"Kings have always been hungry. Let's feed it Lancer"* ~Arthuria Pendragon, referring to 'Saber Lion'
mysticdragonwolf89 Another source is Medb gathered three of his old enemies and bestowed them with three cursed spears, ambushing him after he was tricked into breaking his geasa by eating dog meat, rendering him weak.
For starters, Heroic Spirits are not actually the heroes themselves, they are "copies" of a certain aspect of the hero legend and personality. Which explains why, when summoning the same hero in two different classes, they will be completely different individuals. The existence of the heroes is recorded on The Throne of Heroes. Once the copy dies, its information returns to the Throne. There are exceptions to this, however, such as Arturia, who is eternally stuck on the verge of her death after her battle with Morderek until she can get her wish.
well gae bold is cursed. u see it whit cu as Berserker Alter what can happen whit that weapon. in UBW is when he killed Kotomine, in Stay Night he gets killed after a half day fight against Gilgamesh. And Heaven´s Fell well really bad luck. but from the Servants the child of light is really someone to like^^
Cu Chullain is restricted by his master and then forced to kill himself, Diarmuid never got the chance to finish his duel with Arturia and Karna was interrupted by one rider wielding another rider's noble phantasm. They and berserkers are the only servants able to face sabers in fair one vs one melee combat. I would like to see a fair fight to the end between them.
One of Fate series most underestimated husbandos...doggy is really quite powerful in myth lore, he's irish Achilles after all but the class system really nerfs him.
xxChainingHeartsxx That's the point of the class system; nerfing the Heroic Spirit into a manageable state while still leaving some specialized traits intact so they're not squandered.
pwnorbepwned I thought it was because the grail couldn't summon them in their complete 100% forms ala true resurrection so the nerfing was just a loss of their natural abilities while class system helps to accommodate the issue by filling the blanks with class skills.
Best dog Cú's time to shine!! He really is one of the most tragic heroes, I believe a few of the accounts he's said to have tied up to the pole with his own entrails on his death. Being Lancer is suffering.
PaulNBlack Actually, the stories state that Cu Chulainn tied himself to a tree or a boulder with his entrails so that he would not die on his knees, but rather standing proudly on his feet. It's why he has A rank battle continuity in Fate.
Recently, I've come to realise that Lancer might be my favourite (male) servant. Still wish they used his Fate/Prototype appearance in the actual series. Looks so much cooler and actually what I'd imagine an Irish warrior would look like, unlike his blue tights that make him look like a power ranger.
Lincoln Beckett-Scott I thought the spandex was parallel to celtic warriors fight naked with blue paint. if he appears to be irish it would be easy for enemies to narrow down who he is, his spear is already a dead give away
His first screw was when he was 10 though. Feheh. The curse was cast over them by one of the Morrigan, and it's basically the men experiencing the pains of child labor xD And he ties himself to the large stone WITH HIS GUTS. FUCK YEAH. He's pretty much Irish Hercules.
Cu Chulainn's Berserker/Class may come from the part of his legend where he, in a feat of what can only be described as Berserker Rage becomes a grotesque monstrosity that would make even The Japanese Cringe/Squirm in Fear/Disgust/Discomfort.
There is a Berserker Cu, but unfortunately, it’s based on the monster Gae Bolg is made from. It’s his Alter self created by Medb in a singularity, similar to how Gilles created Jeanne Alter.
@@kziila0244 Well, that was artificial, he still qualifies for berserker due to his fit of insanity during the conflict against Queen Medb. Just like how Jeanne qualified for Avenger due to being a hero who was demonized.
Lancer has always been one of my favorite characters because of how earnest he was about what he wanted and due to my own shitty luck at times..... in fact i like the 4th lancer too, that dude deserved a better master
casey gray Diarmuid was a cool guy but damn is he pissed when he's defeated dishonorably. I'm excited to see if there's a specific reason for that devilish glare he gives while fading.
I know this makes little sense but sometimes I think Lancer was Rin's servant before Archer became a thing, it might be because of how much Lancer wished he was her servant instead and how in Extra Rin gets Lancer.
You should have at least mentioned the ríastrad warp-spam monster he turned into during the Cattle Raid of Cooley. It's a really famous anecdote of him along with Ferdiad's and Connla's deaths.
i really Love these Fate Lore Videos, as they help you to understand the Fate Lore, one if the most complex in Pop Culture, better, more precise and more effeciently. i really hope that you first do all the original FSN-Servants before exploring the other stories and servants :) I am especially interested in Caster or Medea, and of course in Archer/Shirou, as these 2 are touched upon, i mean Archer has basically his own Route, but not completely explained. Love your content!
Great video as always, I like how you decided to go with the UBW route for him xD People may make fun of him a lot but he's truly one of the best Servants. Even in FGO I keep on using Prototype Lancer a lot ^^ I'm hoping for a video on Scáthach in the future ;D
Wow...His story sheds new light on his character in my eyes. The guy lived life as a true warrior would. Though his ending is really sad, and his master from the 5th war didn't deserve what happened.
Not done watching yet, but at 3:43 you say that Scathach is strong enough to even handle demigods. That's wrong. She was strong enough to even handle gods, not just demigods. She also didn't just abandon her immortality by choosing to live in and guard the land of shadows. She became that way(lost her humanity and became essentially immortal) from killing too many divine and phantasmal beings, after which she chose to stay in the land of shadows(where she remains still alive and still fighting even in the modern era, which is why she normally can't be summoned as a servant, she simply wasn't dead (in F/GO, the land of shadows disappeared while she was in it, so she became possible summon)).
sancturillore Yes. I look forward to covering her lore in the future. This draft relies on Lancers words from Hollow Ataraxia, which Nasu must have expanded upon in FGO.
Dude maybe he didn't just want to talk to much ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahaha please he even said enough maybe even more than enough stop complaining complain no more nobody cares well maybe about ur sh!t
Wow this is just funny. I shit you not that I went on to youtube right now was to search up Caster Cu's Noble Phantasms because someone on space battles just released (less than 50 minutes ago) a story that was staring Cu. Now that's funny....also great video.
parker maisterra You known what else is funny. I only saw this video as early as I did because I needed to wake up now to get somewhere. That place being the London IRISH center of all places.
I really want to see a Cu Chulainn movie now. Actually that is a good idea for a video you could do Top 10 Fate Heroic Spirits That Should Get A Movie.
I was a bawling baby when I first saw the Realta Nua last episode (the part with Saber and Shirou in Avalon). If you haven't seen it, people have played it on YT.
i got you,i love that scene so much especially when the narrator(i think it's merlin,i dunno) says ''that for them to meet again two miracles had to happen one had to wait forever and the other had to search forever'',it's so beautifull!
she doesn't much have a role in fate tho, aside from being the Ruler of Great Holy Grail War in Fate/Apo and her role as the 2nd ruler-class (the other ruler is Jeanne-Alter) in Orleans Singularity in F/GO
I really wanna see you make "A Tale of Diarmuid ua Duibine" since he was personally one my of my top favourite characters in the Fate series, and I happen to find his basckstory interesting.
Honestly I can't help you with that one 😂 I mean, i'm part Irish so it isn't to hard for me to prounounce Irish names but I have no idea where to find and exceptional resources for you that'll help, sorry dude. Ask someone more useful than I.
Archer: Rin we need to get the FUCK outta here! Rin: What? Why? Archer: This guy is going to DESTROY me! Rin: Nah! You got this! Archer: He's pretty much Irish Hercules Rin! -F/SN:UBW Abridged by BlazingAzureCrow.
Good video, the way you tele the story of the heroes according to fate lore is great. I will like to see the tale of shirou emiya next, the way he turns into EMIYA, I'm sure it will be a great video
Joaquín Acosta I'd love to cover Emiya but I'm afraid I don't know a lot of the juicy details that people may want to hear. That said I'm always looking for new sources.
My favorite Lancer, my loyal dog. No seriously, he's saved my ass so many times in part 1 that I've already lost count. And his legend is so epic, the fact that he fought a one man war for days and tied himself to a rock with his own guts so he could die on his feet is fucking metal.
I would also like to state on the record, that I got Cu’s insta-death to proc twice in a row... I think I just used up all my luck for the week... send help
It's funny, I never liked any of the Fate series, but I always thought the reimaginings of classic stories and legends were really cool. In the end I like watching these videos about Fate much more than watching the actual shows. I think that is the sign of a channel doing its job really well, when you can pull in viewers who wouldn't otherwise be interested in the topics your discussing.
Y’all know that the guy in this video is from actual Celtic mythology right? He’s not just from an anime. Some people in the comments seem to know this some don’t idk.
Kristin Dattoo you start it and link my Reddit username, that's all the credit I want, but who do we petition to make this anime as trigger or A-1 will... Holy shit it already has a bittersweet ending and you could cram everything into a 24 ep anime so it's perfect for them! Make A-1 or trigger do it!
Me: You have more your father in you than you think my boy, Cu: Wait, you knew him? Me: Met, duelled, bleed, drank and fought alongside him when he reclaimed rode to war to save his people, he was good man and a great king, because of it his people survived, Cu: How did he die? Me: Treason and ill contempt,
Thank ypu do for the amazing help you let me know that there is now a english version of the fate grand order thank you for that i respect your channel alot and your one of my faivorite channels in youtube thank you again for the big help
Hey DaiKun, a small piece of friendly critique. I think noting some character's roles/endings in routes they played a lesser role in are still worth mentioning. (Albeit more succinctly, maybe?) For example, I think Cu's final act in the Fate route was even better than in UBW. It's just a thought I had after seeing a Cu video without my favorite Cu moment. =)
@@OtakuDaiKun WTF cu not is bisexual jajajajaja Only in a few versions of the myth did he have a close relationship with Ferdiad and also his relationship was basically siblings
Whenever anyone complains that Bazett isn't in FGO, I say: "I agree that she should be, but do you really want Bazett and Medb in the same room together?"
After watching and rewatching, I am starting to think Cu Chulian threw in the towel when he refused Rin request to pact. If strikes to the heart with Gae Bolg truly couldn't be healed with mana, the heart pendent couldn't have saved Shirou right? Rin's strength as a master surely could have boosted him to a new form like it did for saber. Maybe Cu Chulian didn't have a full understanding the workings. Almost all the servants, except Beserker lol, said stuff that contradicted what another servant said. What if its actually me interpreting the rules wrong!?! Is Utofable lying to me!?! Otaku, am I going crazy?
Wait a minute, did you just skipped the reasons of why Medb attacked Ulster? It is explained in the Táin Bo Cualinge. She wanted the Donn Cualinge, which is a brown bull, since she wants to have equal richness as her husband Allil. However, the woman who owns Donn Cualinge refuses to give her bull causing, Medb to go nuts and attack Ulster. The curse on the Ulstermen was placed by Macha a member of the Tuatha Da Danann, since the king forced her to participate in a race while she was pregnant. And so Macha placed a curse which prevented all warriors from Ulster to defend themselves. Also, Cu Chulainn actually died because he refused Morrigan's love, and she took the shape of three different creatures to kill him, yet Cu Chulainn always defeated such shape. Cu Chulainn was indeed mortally wounded the first time but his father Lugh cured him. When Cu Chulainn realizes the Ulstermen were killed, he suffers his most well known warp spasm turning into a terrible monster, killing thousands of warriors from Connacht. Fuck japenese who fucked the story of this great hero
I love this Hoping now that here should be ovas for all the holy grail servants my imagination is not enough hahaha also (I never knew he killed his son) So who is next? How about caster princess Medea I always love her story and her tragedy ( also don't forget souichirou )
Dude can easily rival Achilles or Hercules in sheer strength and power, yet his shitty luck always results in him being put in completely bullshit circumstances. Poor guy...
I wonder why he did not let his son reveal his name, I mean no parents would want to kill their child. And his cause if death is strage for me. What some random dude did the following 1. Block all his spear atk that are deadly to even somepne with mind's eye 2. counterattack againts it (and it is hard to do in HEMA) 3. and manage to wound him, thus disarming him and his spear was used againts him or he redirected the spear unto cu chullain that guy deserve a promotion
In another legend Ferdiad's death is described as the result of Cu using the Gae Bolg to bypass Ferdiad's impenetrable skin... By sticking the spear up Ferdiad's ass, where it branched and invaded his friend's body.
There's actually a specific reason for this, and this actually falls in line with the lore seeing as how much they love geass and loopholes. Ferdiad had a special ability, his skin could not be pierced by any weapon. Thus, after days of fierce fighting he started winning against Cu, until Cu solved the riddle by feigning with another spear while thrusting Gae Bolg with his toes right up Ferdiad's anus, thus killing him without piercing his skin. This is what is on Ferdiad's Wikipedia page!
So his legend began with a visit to a SWORDSMITH and he later became a member of the RED Branch Knights. ...huh, what are the odds that he would then literally meet a red blacksmith of a knight during the Fifth Holy Grail War.
I'm not sure what it says on the wiki, but I'm surprised you didn't mention the reason he lost his finale fight is because a geis forced him to eat dog along with other damaging geis that exhausted him. that's what I've read at least. and I don't know if this is accurate but I thought fergus die of a spear to the chest while swimming not fighting cu chulainn. otherwise I really like these kinda of videos you're doing great job. can't wait for the tsukihime video
gr8hapollock In my video that's more or less what I'm referring to when I say that Medb plotted schemes to take him down. I just didn't find a direct account of what literally went down.
Man would I love an event where connla appears I mean despite being a child he had cu by the balls to the point of using gae bolg and this is cu at his prime of his life while connla is still a child imagine what he would’ve been like if he grew in life
AKA: “the tale of the character who should have won at least one of his goddamn fights”

I really want to see a Cu Chulainn movie now. Actually that is a good idea for a video you could do Top 10 Fate Heroic Spirits That Should Get A Movie.
He and Dairmuid have the best stories.
I do love him. He's cool. And look at that smirk
how can you talk about these heroes stories without crying? mann you're amazing, great videos, i'm loving these lore series.
I was a bawling baby when I first saw the Realta Nua last episode (the part with Saber and Shirou in Avalon). If you haven't seen it, people have played it on YT.
i got you,i love that scene so much especially when the narrator(i think it's merlin,i dunno) says ''that for them to meet again two miracles had to happen one had to wait forever and the other had to search forever'',it's so beautifull!
OtakuDaiKun I'm so confused like are there more animes than Apocrypha, UBW, Zero, and Last Encore?
This Lancer was one of my biggest character crushes. So sad he didn't make it to the end 😭
As a guy, Lancer is the biggest bro of all. Saw the Heavens Feel movie and his time during the movie got me hyped and in the feels
Matthew Cameron wait movie?
What about emiya shirou??...been betrayed and die just because want to save people....and just want to kill himself..???
Do a Fate Lore about Jeanne d'Arc
Wait... isn't her story, aside from Artoria, a very well known one?
Aile Guevarra Yes it is.She's a saint after all
she doesn't much have a role in fate tho, aside from being the Ruler of Great Holy Grail War in Fate/Apo and her role as the 2nd ruler-class (the other ruler is Jeanne-Alter) in Orleans Singularity in F/GO
Bitch gets roasted. And her alter form decides to take revenge and light everyone on fire.
and once she fails and actually go to the throne of heroes, she becomes a kid with a fetish for otome games
cu Chulainn aka the blue Lancer!
I've never been able to pronounce his name properly
I have to say Thank you Cu is my favorite Fate Character!!!
I really wanna see you make "A Tale of Diarmuid ua Duibine" since he was personally one my of my top favourite characters in the Fate series, and I happen to find his basckstory interesting.
Yes, the man who wishes to redeem his loyalty. I plan on doing them all eventually.
I can't wait then! ✨
Chama Chelo So I'm apparently really awful wish Irish names. Do you know a good resource for pronunciation?
Honestly I can't help you with that one 😂 I mean, i'm part Irish so it isn't to hard for me to prounounce Irish names but I have no idea where to find and exceptional resources for you that'll help, sorry dude. Ask someone more useful than I.
Chama Chelo I mean something moderately simple. Like, is it "dee-R-mood"?

It's best broooo.
Seriously my fav. servant personality wise.
awesome video! You should make Fate Lore - Archer the Emiya.
whitch one stay night or Mumei there are 2
thanks for the reply! The stay night one would be awesome!
It's easy to find the Fate Lore on Emiya. Just watch UBW.
Emiya the archer?
King Kong The Heroic Spirit of Emiya Shirou.
2:28
Short life? So that why he die so early in the series...
cu is my fave male servant T_T thank you so much for this lore vid!
Archer: Rin we need to get the FUCK outta here!
Rin: What? Why?
Archer: This guy is going to DESTROY me!
Rin: Nah! You got this!
Archer: He's pretty much Irish Hercules Rin!

Good video, the way you tele the story of the heroes according to fate lore is great. I will like to see the tale of shirou emiya next, the way he turns into EMIYA, I'm sure it will be a great video
Joaquín Acosta I'd love to cover Emiya but I'm afraid I don't know a lot of the juicy details that people may want to hear. That said I'm always looking for new sources.
Thanks for making this video i really enjoy these things :)
My favorite Lancer, my loyal dog. No seriously, he's saved my ass so many times in part 1 that I've already lost count.
And his legend is so epic, the fact that he fought a one man war for days and tied himself to a rock with his own guts so he could die on his feet is fucking metal.
I would also like to state on the record, that I got Cu’s insta-death to proc twice in a row... I think I just used up all my luck for the week... send help
Hey Dai, what's the song at 2:23? I really like it and wanna use it in my DnD campaign.
If you remember, it'd be much appreciated!
All these tracks are from the 2006 FSN anime.
i like cu chulainn as well as diarmuid. spear men that has dignity in a fight. loyal to the good
It's funny, I never liked any of the Fate series, but I always thought the reimaginings of classic stories and legends were really cool. In the end I like watching these videos about Fate much more than watching the actual shows. I think that is the sign of a channel doing its job really well, when you can pull in viewers who wouldn't otherwise be interested in the topics your discussing.
KTS News and Politics Well I love Fate but I'm glad my videos can have a broad appeal.^^
You sound way more respectful when doing this one than the others.
If there is another fate lore episode I would like to hear about Siegfried, Medusa, Mordred or Iskandar
+Nathan .Z Medusa is next, actually.
Y’all know that the guy in this video is from actual Celtic mythology right? He’s not just from an anime. Some people in the comments seem to know this some don’t idk.
I’m pretty sure people know this. That’s the whole point of Fate. We’re talking about an anime’s adaptation of the traditional character.
oh the fate of E Luck guys
Cu chullain should be an anime by itself
Bayek the lad of Siwa hell yeah I agree where do we start the petition??
Kristin Dattoo you start it and link my Reddit username, that's all the credit I want, but who do we petition to make this anime as trigger or A-1 will... Holy shit it already has a bittersweet ending and you could cram everything into a 24 ep anime so it's perfect for them! Make A-1 or trigger do it!
The most unlucky guy of the entire nasuverse (carnival phantasm confirmed this).
Me: You have more your father in you than you think my boy,
Cu: Wait, you knew him?
Me: Met, duelled, bleed, drank and fought alongside him when he reclaimed rode to war to save his people, he was good man and a great king, because of it his people survived,
Cu: How did he die?
Me: Treason and ill contempt,
Cu is best doggo. Definitely deserves better than what he got.
I love that guy
thanks for the telling the story of lancer
Thank ypu do for the amazing help you let me know that there is now a english version of the fate grand order thank you for that i respect your channel alot and your one of my faivorite channels in youtube thank you again for the big help
“I will not be the clown”
- the dog
Hey DaiKun, a small piece of friendly critique. I think noting some character's roles/endings in routes they played a lesser role in are still worth mentioning. (Albeit more succinctly, maybe?) For example, I think Cu's final act in the Fate route was even better than in UBW. It's just a thought I had after seeing a Cu video without my favorite Cu moment. =)
contown731 If you Luke Clu, you should watch Overly Sarcastic productions or read his epic, he is way more badass there than in the Nasuverse.
Well I don't Luke Clu, so I'm not sure what to do with that information =P
But in all seriousness I checked out OSP, she makes some damn good videos.
contown731 Hm ok, but yeah Red is awesome and blue too
"Like an older brother" Ferdiad might've been a *little* more than that to Cu.
Celtic Kawaii Hmm. Was he bisexual. I know most of those romans were anyway.
@@OtakuDaiKun WTF cu not is bisexual jajajajaja Only in a few versions of the myth did he have a close relationship with Ferdiad and also his relationship was basically siblings
good video as always
Whenever anyone complains that Bazett isn't in FGO, I say:
"I agree that she should be, but do you really want Bazett and Medb in the same room together?"
MidoriArcea That might be pretty hot actually... until they kill each other.
After watching and rewatching, I am starting to think Cu Chulian threw in the towel when he refused Rin request to pact. If strikes to the heart with Gae Bolg truly couldn't be healed with mana, the heart pendent couldn't have saved Shirou right? Rin's strength as a master surely could have boosted him to a new form like it did for saber. Maybe Cu Chulian didn't have a full understanding the workings. Almost all the servants, except Beserker lol, said stuff that contradicted what another servant said. What if its actually me interpreting the rules wrong!?! Is Utofable lying to me!?! Otaku, am I going crazy?
That's a good point. Though, what he did to Shirou was a poke compared to what he did to himself.
Wait a minute, did you just skipped the reasons of why Medb attacked Ulster? It is explained in the Táin Bo Cualinge.
She wanted the Donn Cualinge, which is a brown bull, since she wants to have equal richness as her husband Allil.
However, the woman who owns Donn Cualinge refuses to give her bull causing, Medb to go nuts and attack Ulster.
The curse on the Ulstermen was placed by Macha a member of the Tuatha Da Danann, since the king forced her to participate in a race while she was pregnant. And so Macha placed a curse which prevented all warriors from Ulster to defend themselves.
Also, Cu Chulainn actually died because he refused Morrigan's love, and she took the shape of three different creatures to kill him, yet Cu Chulainn always defeated such shape.
Cu Chulainn was indeed mortally wounded the first time but his father Lugh cured him. When Cu Chulainn realizes the Ulstermen were killed, he suffers his most well known warp spasm turning into a terrible monster, killing thousands of warriors from Connacht.
Fuck japenese who fucked the story of this great hero
You should do Siegfried next in honor of Apycripha
never know he such an awesome hero.
So .....THAT'S WHY HE ALWAYS DIE QUICK EVEN IN CARNIVAL PHANTASM DAMMIT
I love this Hoping now that here should be ovas for all the holy grail servants my imagination is not enough hahaha also (I never knew he killed his son)
So who is next? How about caster princess Medea I always love her story and her tragedy ( also don't forget souichirou )
The Garden of E sim 117 Working on Medusa tonight, though there's less to tell.
i like how this is pretty much the real irish folklore tale lol
Felt like I was watching something from discovery channel. Very professional.
I love Cu Chulainn he my favourite
Dude can easily rival Achilles or Hercules in sheer strength and power, yet his shitty luck always results in him being put in completely bullshit circumstances. Poor guy...
I wonder why he did not let his son reveal his name, I mean no parents would want to kill their child. And his cause if death is strage for me. What some random dude did the following
1. Block all his spear atk that are deadly to even somepne with mind's eye
2. counterattack againts it (and it is hard to do in HEMA)
3. and manage to wound him, thus disarming him and his spear was used againts him or he redirected the spear unto cu chullain
that guy deserve a promotion
It was a taboo
In another legend Ferdiad's death is described as the result of Cu using the Gae Bolg to bypass Ferdiad's impenetrable skin...
By sticking the spear up Ferdiad's ass, where it branched and invaded his friend's body.
Ramza Beowulf That gives the Gay Bulge a whole new meaning.
There's actually a specific reason for this, and this actually falls in line with the lore seeing as how much they love geass and loopholes. Ferdiad had a special ability, his skin could not be pierced by any weapon. Thus, after days of fierce fighting he started winning against Cu, until Cu solved the riddle by feigning with another spear while thrusting Gae Bolg with his toes right up Ferdiad's anus, thus killing him without piercing his skin.
This is what is on Ferdiad's Wikipedia page!
So his legend began with a visit to a SWORDSMITH and he later became a member of the RED Branch Knights.
...huh, what are the odds that he would then literally meet a red blacksmith of a knight during the Fifth Holy Grail War.
Hm?
The…the first pic is Kurogane and Fai…
Indeed it is. Not sure why I chose that...
i love your lore vids
I'm not sure what it says on the wiki, but I'm surprised you didn't mention the reason he lost his finale fight is because a geis forced him to eat dog along with other damaging geis that exhausted him. that's what I've read at least. and I don't know if this is accurate but I thought fergus die of a spear to the chest while swimming not fighting cu chulainn. otherwise I really like these kinda of videos you're doing great job. can't wait for the tsukihime video
animerocks76 Him being forced to break all of his geis and thus become weaker is mentioned in his character profile.
gr8hapollock In my video that's more or less what I'm referring to when I say that Medb plotted schemes to take him down. I just didn't find a direct account of what literally went down.
Man would I love an event where connla appears I mean despite being a child he had cu by the balls to the point of using gae bolg and this is cu at his prime of his life while connla is still a child imagine what he would’ve been like if he grew in life
He's basically Irish Hercules.
You forget to add.. the Guard Dog.. Was a Irish Wolfhound..quite a beastly one too.
Dice Strike Just in case someone thought it was a chihuahua.
Wasn't there an iteration of his story where he died lashed to a standing stone by his own intestines so he could fight until his death?
I can’t recall the intestines bit but isn’t that what I already said in the vid?
Why did he set those rule for his son and it would be awesome to have Conlon in FGO
Yuki Cross I'm not 100% sure.
Nice. Cu is an awesome servant in either lancer or caster. Speaking of caster any chance you could a video of Tamamo no Mae? She's my favorite caster.
Fun fact: in one of my fire emblem echoes files the character Clive uses a spear that I named Gaí Bolg sorry for the miss spelling.
