This is the purest, most calm, calculated and obedient berserker I have ever seen in any adaptation of anything ever.

Why the fuck is she even called berserker?

She stops mid combat to help allies, listens to orders, doesn't charge into combat in a frenzy or battle with strength first.

These are also the least loyal servants ever.

75% of them are tsundere towards their masters and do whatever the fuck they want.
Then again, what did I expect out of 12 year old kids...silly me.

Servants are by no means in any way supposed to be subservient to the Masters, these are only terminology in terms of who's supplying the mana. Servants are far superior beings more akin to genies in this case. There are three command seals to control them, but otherwise they're free to kill the master any time they want if they don't like them and usually they can do so faster than the master commanding them to commit suicide. The only reason for the servant to obey is if they like the master or also want to win the grail war (not everyone cares), or have their own system of honor since most are after all legendary heroes.

Regarding Berserker, it's true that originally with Fate/Stay Night and early spinoffs like Fate/Zero the class was associated with insane berserk mad warriors charging into the fray with brute strength. However thanks to the multiverse and Fate/Grand Order there are now more rational berserkers than not, and it's more about abnormal mindset. For example, the famous nurse Florence Nightingale is Berserker class because "If it is for the sake of saving lives, there is no problem in losing lives—such excessively pure belief and terrific posture would probably even be evaluated as "madness and horror" at times. Therefore, she was given the Class Berserker."

Frankestein's Mad Enhancement is only at D Rank, comparing to Heracles who's at B Rank.

But the Skill itself isn't really straightforward as it seems, Lower Ranks are clearly not crazier, but higher ones at EX Rank some will retain speech, but something is simply broken in their minds

Spartacus has EX Rank Mad Enhancement, he doesn't lose basic speech, but he will always makes choices that will be harder for him, a True Masochist, hence why he tried to attack the Black Faction by himself.

It really depends on the servant itself.

Rider is a girl. I really don't care if they call her a guy, that is a girl and we all know it's a girl.

Looks like a girl, acts like a girl, sounds like a girl, -- it's a girl.

Hate the "draw a girl, call it a guy" trope.

This is not how traps work. If I have a dick but look like a girl act like a girl and sound like a girl it doesn't make me a girl as long as I have a dong


You can't look like a girl or sound like a girl as a dude though. Sure, in some doctored up photo from a misleading angle you can make anyone look like anything. But meet a "trap" IRL and you will immediately know its a dude.

Good episode. I really love Jeanne D' Arc. That's why she's my current avatar right now!!!

I hope they animate her as Ruler in a future Fate series. Maybe more Grand Order episodes would be nice.

I fucking hate wimp MC's tbh. I have gotten sick and tired of them bitching and always being save all the time and yet still complaining. I just hope he improves in the coming episodes.

Your avatar's character isn't Jeanne, but Jeanne halter. Jeanne and Jeanne halter are different characters.

I fucking hate secondaries tbh.

To save this episode, there is the arrival of the new servant and the explanations that make the actions more understandable. Too bad that there is some action, dialogues at times are a bit too long. The drawings, still show a good quality, lucky!

Sieg's meme was about to write itself "Save the homunculi?" "Life is meaningless." We'll see what happens. I like the designs of the homunculi red eyes and light hair is a nice combo. Sieg looks like Corrin from Fire Emblem Fates so that's amusing. Jeanne reminds me of Rosette from Chrono Crusade except she seems to have superpowers. Also I seem to keep catching the extra part after the animation which makes me think there are time shenanigans going on what with the first episode's Mordred vs Siegfried battle and now Shirou saying:

At this point I really don't know where the remaining 20 episodes of story will go to but if I can have a wish of my own then please, I want to see as little as possible of Seig. Homonculus with no backstory and well no character or personality at all. I don't blame him for being like this after all he is no different than a baby in a teenager body and when through no development at all but truly... I really can't see someone like that becoming an interesting MC and having interesting story going around him so please... don't be MC and don't appear too much.

Sieg: I don't have anything to give

You realized you're holding a sword right ?
He who smiles in a crisis has found someone to blame.

"But the Counter Force empowering specific individuals is not ever explained that way. Especially in Apocrypha."



Except that Jean literally became a heroic spirit by being aided/buffed by the counterforce in live. She is pretty much the poster girl, and every magus seemed to know it in any other works.

How else do you think a mere farmer girl ended a bloody hundred year war in merely 2 years?

How else? The same way she did in the real world, maybe? :D

On another note: I don't understand why people hate this. So far I like it better than any other Fate shows I've watched.

Dat dragon.
Astolfo got rock cuffed.
Dat hand stab.
His name is... Sieg.
Green haired woma has nice oppai.
She possessed a french girl named Leticia.
Jack the Ripper?
Dat letter.
She lied.
Taking their command spells?

So many animated shortcomings this episode, so many shortcuts taken.
Very obscene to see these from a modern FATE series or anything TYPE-MOON based...
The plot is an absolute mess right now too..
Hopefully gets better.


Pretty much this. Felt like I was watching a f.cking slideshow, and the MC is literally a slice of plain bread...
