Fuck me. I mixed up Hector and Paris at the start of the video. I apologise. I promise I know the difference!

My mum would be like 50% “You know so much about history” and 50% “Why are the girls dressed like that?”

“Is that Joan of Arc” Trust me. Joan of Arc is the easiest one.

I can imagine this game giving history teachers a headache.

She calls them sirs of the round table. That's adorable.

The reason Napoleon has a cannon was that he started out as an artillery officer in the army before eventually becoming emperor.

Your mom tries to find Joan d'Arc in every female character that makes me think she's a fangirl of the holy maiden, and that's cute and wholesome

'She has a sword' All hail princess Bedivere!

"Why does he have a tie?" Oh dear. I didn't notice either. Now I can't unsee it.

Cleopatra killed herself by snake bite, an asp. The cobra is also part of egyptian symbolism for the pharoah, So, snake symbolism.

You madlad, I'd never show any family member fate.

My mom probably: “Is this Pikachu” *Ultra facepalm*

"How do you not know Saber, everyone and their mom knows her" Dai-kun: *Imma quote you on that!*

28:24 "This f**er is Thomas Edison" "Are you kidding?" Apparently, that was EXACTLY what happened when paco-san, the artist, turned in the artwork. (as per from Nasu Kinoko's interview) The only specification DW gave was "middle aged man" and this turned up for some reason. I would bet that draft for E Pluribus Unum scenario was revised to fit the design.

Honestly, Fate just doesn't do the typical stereotype when it comes to some Servants. Like Cleo, Columbus and even Medusa, Mozart etc.

"He's some kind of wizard" Yes some kind of wizard indeed

"Paris Of The Trojan War" Shows Hector On Screen. A Slight Mishap?

A possible reason why Paris is shown with sheep is because he’s often depicted as being raised by shepherds who found him as an abandoned child. As for why he’s a child as a Servant... the only explanation was “Apollo messed with his Saint Graph, similar to what Artemis did to Orion”.

"Christopher Columbus looks evil." "Christopher Columbus is evil in this story." Just like the Christopher Columbus in real life then.

Everyone else in the KOTR: **exist** Your mom: Is this Tristan? Tristan: exist Your mom: Is it Leonidas?

50% impressive, most impressive. Especially for someone whose not deep into the franchise.

Not even 30 seconds in and your mom sounds like a lovely person

2:51 Ah yes, Sherlock Holmes' arch rival and resident evil boomer, Abigail Williams.

When in doubt: Joan of Arc! Jokes aside your mother sounds really cool, always great to see a parent's willingness to engage in their child's hobbies. Also holy smokes your language was a bit unexpected given the circumstance but I guess you really are true to yourself XD

Funny thing, but Jeanne’s bust may actually be accurate! In most accounts where she’s mentioned by others at the time, her beautiful face and form are mentioned, along with the fact that she seemed so pure and holy, it was impossible to feel lust for her (over time, this became a legend that if you lusted for Jeanne d’Arc, God himself would smite you with impotence). There’s actually another funny bit about her. There are very few times when she was ever recorded using her sword, but one is particularly humorous, and it was NOT in battle (some actually hold that this was the one and only time she ever wielded her sword). It was when she chased away the prostitutes and camp followers that tailed the army so they’d stop corrupting and distracting the soldiers.

Odyseus was very specifically not an idiot; he was in fact considered the wisest of the Greeks. Also, her name is Altera. She has made her preference clear, and you would be bad civilization to refer to her otherwise.

The name for the leaves on Cesars head is laurel (or Lorbeere in German). And Marie Antoinette doesn't necessarily look French, because she was an Austrian until she married the French king.

Nero: she's a Saber, but not Saber

My mom cant even identify with is Normal Fate Anime and which is FateHntei one

Every male servant:exist Mom:ist that Leonidas?

I tried to show my dad any of the fate Characters and made him guess who they are. The look on his face resembles that of a father planning to disown his own son. I'm glad I'm a history Student.

Feel free to try this with a friend who doesn't know Fate by heart. Lemme know how well they do^^

I give your mom 10/10 for Guessing Beowulf right off the bat!

Funny thing about Caesar and why he is fat in FGO, and why that is mythologically or historically accurate. Because Caesar really liked Fat people , according to Shakespearan lore at least. Cuz Caesar thought fat people is going to be loyal as since they are fed, they have little reason to betray him for they are mostly satisfied. So he like to surround himself with fat people or have fat friends. However that tend to be one of his undoing. As Casca, one of the conspirators is a fat person , and because of this it thrown Caesar off guard as he stabbed him. Casca was most likely the second most surprising conspirator that thrown him off guard beside Brutus.

"If I keep throwing out Joan of Arc it will eventually be right!" I'm just surprised she didn't guess Joan for Martha.

When you get down to it, Fate is just one big guessing game.

My mom definitely can. She's read the VN. =D

2:56 by my decree you shall only call James Moriarty Abigail Williams henceforth!

I thought the reason that Frankenstein was a girl was because the person who wrote the story was a female at a Halloween scary story contest

I too mistook Bedivere for a woman, turns out they just later changed it to a man.

12:37 Her Design screams Marie Antoinette so much that her hat is in the shape of a Brioche, from the infamous missatributed Marie Antoinette quote "If the poor are out of bread and hungry, why don't they just eat brioche?" Edit: 26:21 I once heard from a conspiracy theorist, I dont remember who, that said Atila the Hun was an Alien and the reason he was so feared was because of some sort of alien thecnology, This was before Fate. So Type Moon has a really wide grasp of the "source material" to create every detail of their characters. Edit 2: 36:49 Yes he does have a lot, the lambs are a symbol of Apollo, which some legends say Paris was a son of him, and thus he was able to do feats akin to the god. Any greek shota with lambs and some sort of sueprnatural look, should be a dead giveaway for Pairs.

My parents especially my mother knows most of the servants in Fate/. She sometimes watching us siblings playing some Fate games or watching the anime from the Nasuverse (most is from the Fate/ series). My mother's favorite is Jeanne D'arc but Mordred due to her backstory from Fate/Apocrypha.

I kinda enjoyed this. What a strange feeling this is. Makes me reminisce with my time watching anime with my mom who is actually a Miku Hatsune (minor) fan.

"she is blonde like saber" that doesnt reduce the options that much xD

Your mom sounds so sweet and cool to take part in your hobby, but also to just casually curse in front of her. My mom would yell at me lol

Did you know that if you search "Nero Claudius" and go in "images" you wont see statues, you will see A LOT of UMU saber fanarts Best saber. Im not sure but maybe waifu

To clarify the appearance of Paris for you. Since Paris is supported by Apollo with his divine protection, Apollo is taking charge to change Paris appearance as a servant. The Paris that we are seeing as servant is a much younger one, then the legends are telling about, just because Apollo is liking him better that way. In addition to that Paris, in this Form, needs Apollo to stand up to his legendary skills as a servant. That means Apollo can look at Paris in his "personal prime", instead of his actual prime and its save that he is staying at his side, because he needs him in this Form.

MY Mom, were she still alive, would not have done so well. I envy you, Dai.

Video: *uploaded moments ago* Comments: *two weeks ago* Me: what the fu-

I Heard That Cleopatra Was Of Greek Descent

I'm actually impressed by how you're able to cuss infront of your mom. If I'd tried that around my parents, they'd light my ass up! And I'm fix'in to be 25!

9:51: "Gilgamesh is flamboyant" XD

There's a story about Merlin, where he ages backwards, where he knows what will happen tomorrow, but not what happened yesterday.

If I recall cleopatra committed suicide by using a snake's venom so that's probably where the snake-y hair comes from

This was really nice and fun. Glad to see you have a family that share the same interests as closely as you do. I hope that this becomes more common in the coming years. Would love to see more like this. I would suggest instead of throwing hints you could show the other ascension artworks as some of them might help narrow it down because a few emphasise certain traits. Like Cleo starts off with 'superhero' clothes and then transitions into a dress. Or Mozart's final ascension has an orchestra(although he does still look like an evil mastermind). And the Valkyries being 3 very different characters might've connected the right dots. And in the case that you think the ascensions would be more confusing just use hints as you did.

Oh dear, OtakuDaiKun, this might be a bit mean. Even the poster girl of the francise is a giant "what the hell?" to the uninitiated.

Your mum's so enthusiastic about getting something right, it puts a smile in my face every time!

Im going to do this with people who don’t know fate at all. Also one correction I heard: you said Hector killed Achilles, that was Paris (or technically Apollo since he guided the arrow. Hector killed Achilles best friend. In rage he challenged Hector to one on one combat no divinity (in fgo) then when he killed Hector Achellies tied his body to the back of his chariot and dragged it around until The king of Troy begged for his son’s body back to bury it.

I can confirm gil and mozart have the same VA

Your mom is right Cleo is carried around on her snake and is wearing a gown in her 3 ascension

Woohoo, I got half of them right! That was fun :) thanks!

Abigail Williams basically started the witch trails, probably cause she ate a mushroom or something.

Me: Whoa cool, a mom guessing fate characters. Im gonna watch for 10 mins. Me after 46 mins 31 secs: Did i finished the video?

Marie Antoinette's hair is also a clue there since she is also famous for her hair turning white before her execution. Also, I think for a non Fate fan, your mom did pretty well. If I didn't know the characters I think I won't be able to guess them that good

This is adorable and she actually did quite well.

On a semi related note, fun fact, Nero is voiced in English by Cassandra Lee Morris, who also voices Leafa from Sao, Morgana from Persona 5, Kyubey from Madoka Magica, Nyx from Accel World, Taiga from Toradora, Yubel from Yugioh GX, both Leo and Luna from Yugioh 5Ds, among others.

Meanwhile my mom wouldn't acknowledge me as her son if she found out i watch anime and spend money on fgo

27:42 Need Saber Blackbeard. We've heard a serious Blackbeard voice at the start of Beni-Enma's Valentine's scene, and I really wish we had a terrifying, fuse-laden beard Blackbeard. Edit: I just realized that this would be the perfect opportunity for Alter-Ego Blackbeard.

Wholesome. Would love to see just other people do this with different characters, maybe not as long.

Give your mom my compliments for her performance. She did pretty well guessing those characters.

This was cool, really nice you and your mom can do this and have so much fun with it Also on a side note I'm really impressed with how much your mom got right most people dont do nearly as well as her if they dont know a thing about fate.

Haha, Mozart IS played by Gil's seiyus, again if you had shown her the music -ish ascension pics .... wait if UMU wrestled a lion NAKED..... that means she wrestled ARtoria NAKED....... who was proooooooooobably also naked ....... :) doujins where are you ???? god I never noticed Marie's horse at the back @_@ then again I barely used her so, you should have shown your mom Altera's NIGHTINGALE cosplay I like how your mom is paying super attention to the backgrounds, this makes me appreciate the background art designs in FGO even more xD Trojan war eh ..... if you had shown your mom his NP ..... fuck I never noticed Caesar's tie either......... but that could be the FAT EVIL LAWYER stereotype hie portrays, like the tactician droids in Star Wars the Clone Wars cartoon

I did this with my weeblet nephew. Also very nice vid! 7:45 She died via suicide by snakebite, her NP is also a Snake. It's kinda like Jalter in that she has powers based on what killed her 10:09 He is, he's also voiced by Seki Tomokazu who voices both Caster and Archer Gil 34:02 It's a Laurel Wreath 39:24 That's not just Fate, both are versions of his origins

About Abby, the play aged her up, cuz they wanted her motivation to be romantic jealousy, which... Would be weird with an 11 year old girl. Also, yt deleted my comment, so here i go again but briefly. (Or not haha) In my honest opinion Abby did nothing wrong. From what i know, she (remember, an 11 yo girl) was sick with "unknown disease" and Priest said Its a curse, then both parents and Priest asked Abby who did it to her. Honestly i wouldnt be surprised if they even preasured her (especially the Priest who wanted to start hanging witches) to give out names. I would go as far that they used the infamous suggestive questions "was it the sla*e girl next door? Was it her? Tell me was it her?" Which everyone knows you can't use with kids, because they Will just nod to whatever you suggest, since they assume Its what you want to hear and will make you stop asking. Also, one more opinion: Nero did nothing wrong (in context of the era and his personal history). Fire of Rome: Nero wasnt even in Rome and hurried back to Rome to put the fire out, even housed the victims of fire in his palace. Blaming Christians for fire and being satan because of it: really, you Christians dare to be angry with him, but then you do the same later? Its the typical scape goat tactic: something bad happens, blame it on people who arent liked by populus (Christians were the weird mysterious cultists back then, no one knew what they were on about and who you dont understand you fear: people even believed they did human sacrifices back then, since they were very secretive). With Nero its "blame fire on Christians and kill them with lions for show" with Christians its "blame famine on jews/witches and burn them at stake for show". About killing his own mother: She deserved it. She used him so she could rule the Rome with him as a puppet. She was a liar and manipulator, who killed people to get Nero on throne. She was poisoning him on daily basis in the morning and giving him antodite in evening to keep him under her control. Some even believe she mole**ed him. About kicking his pregnant wife to death: Its speculated and the only time you hear about it is from a historian who wanted to suck up to new ruler of Rome, which always involves, well shit talking the previous emperors. Other theory suggests dying while giving birth, not uncommon. About Sporus, the boy Nero castrated and married: sorry to break it to you, but if this makes him evil, take away the good guy status from most Roman emperors, because most other emperors partook in shit like this. Its called puer delicatus (castrated young boy, so to keep him... well boy looking. Usually it was done to sla*es, you know, those people no one in ancient times gave a crap about, so it was "ok"), its not something Nero invented. Honestly it was more weird that he married him (since he was a sla*e) than the fact he had him as a lover. Look at Tiberius and his orgies on Capri (ALL ages are welcomed orgy, search "Suetonius on Tiberius' sex life" on net). Compared to him Nero is weak, but teachers dont tell you about that, but Caligulas horse consul is always mentioned and misrepresented (Caligula was weird, but this one Is false, he basically said "You are doing such a bad job that my horse would do it better, maybe i should make his a consul and fire you!") With Nero it boils down to this: 4/5 Roman emperors were fucked up, but school only tells you about Neros bad deeds (and a bit about Caligulas) while they ignore the good things he did (low taxes, aquaduct, began working on Corinth Canal, popular with people), while with other emperors they DO mention their good deeds, while they keep silent about their pede*ast pool parties. Add that Christians decided what we will remember Nero by and its done. Was Nero a Saint? Heck no! Were the other roman emperors Saints? Heck no!! This double treatment Is unfair. Either Its ok or not, dont pardon one historical figure while you try to make the next one look like devil for the same actions. The end. Too long to read version: Abby was a 11 yo girl preasured into giving random names out to please parents and investigators, not understanding what her words meant. Nero isnt a devil (that is if you seriously believe other Roman emperors were good guys) , only Christians with double standards would claim that we was satan... while they were burning and drowning and hanging and torturing ehm... "witches," kinda like, hey would you look at that, in Salem (hanging).

Cristopher Columbus is also historically evil and insane. So Fate nailed it before it even got noticed worldwide

Love the videos man, this one put me in a good mood. And it's cool your mom can spot out most of the servants 😀

*Says Nero is Mordred* Eh they're both red and both sabers its close enough XD

3:37 Sir lancelot is that you? No..... yeah

Dang, this reminded me of a video where a dad guesses Jojo stands with his daughter, I think. And I was right thinking the Fate version of that video would be plenty interesting too. Super awesome stuff man!

gotta say i love how your mom is actually willing to do this with yo it is very heartening

what is this?! did he say his mother likes anime?!?!?!?! i didnt know parents could be so cool

Just i that heard everytime the "umu" when she identify i heard the mom saying "damit"?XD

12:34 “Vsauce, Michael here!”

I'd love to see another one of these in the future because there is a lot more characters to go through.

7:36 "What threw you off from Cleopatra?" "The snakey hair?" Her lore state that she committed suicide by having cobra bite into her breast while confined by Roman empire. And that part of lore also qualified her as an assassin, I think (=she assassinated herself).

Paris WAS a shepherd as well as a prince of troy. I guess the pasture makes sense, but I would never have guessed that that was Paris. And I liked him so much that I named my dog Paris (she was a german shepherd mix)!

I think I just realized something about Paris. Iirc he grew up as a shepherd in the mountains away from Troy until he judged a beauty contest between the Greek Goddesses and chose Aphrodite as the winner of the apple of discord, so that would be a good reason for him to be depicted with that sheep. Also, I think Apollo helped him fire an arrow at Achiles' heel, so that is probably why his heroic spirit form is fused with Apollo.

Leonidas is probably the easiest servant for non fate people to actually identify followed maybe by Julius Caesar, Blackbeard, and Joan of Arc

Lol at how casually you curse in front of your mom haha

I'm surprised you were brave enough to show her jack

mother and son bonding time. what could possibly go wrong? ... it’s country time.

Must be nice of having a family member to share the enjoyment of this franchise

Real Columbus was a bad guy in reality.

My mom would probably answer it all wrong, even with hints.

For Paris...... Basically Apollo(sheep) is a shotacon and makes Paris looks like that

This was an immensely fun video :D

She said "He has a big lance" and then said Sir "Lance a Lot." Kinda big brained

Noooo! Why did you go back to the old avatar, your new one is awesome! Also how did you ever convince your mom to watch anime with you? My mom was so against my hobbies growing up. that is so awesome.

This video is so wholesome and I love it

This video made me lol so fuckin hard. Love your mom's reaction to all her own guesses.
