SABER

SABER (セイバー) is the first text adventure game launched by the original Japanese fan group Type-Moon after the fan work "Tsukihime" was commercialized ( AVG) Fate/stay night and the animation of the same name, as well as the virtual character in the game sequel Fate/Hollow Ataraxia, is one of the heroines of the game and the most popular heroine of the animation. She was summoned by the male protagonist Shirou Emiya when he was being hunted by the sheath of the holy sword Excalibur left in his body by Shirou's adoptive father Emiya Kiritsugu, Saber's Master in the last Holy Grail War. The swordsman's Servant with whom he signed a contract is actually the legendary British hero King Arthur. She looks like a petite girl who is only 154 centimeters tall, but her swordsmanship, speed, and magic power are all at a very high level, and her class is known as the best among all Servants.

Although Saber participated in the Holy Grail War as a Servant like other heroic spirits, she is different from ordinary heroic spirits - she is King Arthur who met Alaya before his death in order to realize his wish to protect the country. He made a promise to "get the Holy Grail while alive and become a heroic spirit to protect mankind after death" and became a Servant. Therefore, she is not a true heroic spirit.

In the game's fate line and animation, although Saber is unable to exert her true strength because of Master Shirou's relationship, she still trusts him from the bottom of her heart. Saber was once confused by Shirou's desperate "protection" of her, and believed that Shirou's paranoid and naive behavior would hinder their victory in the Holy Grail War. But as the war continued, she and he came to understand each other's hearts and came to a common goal, thus defeating their ultimate enemy.

In other routes in the game, Saber has been the Servant of Tohsaka Rin, Caster, and the Servant of the Blackened Matou Sakura for various reasons.

Saber adheres to the spirit of chivalry, is kind, honest, and loyal, but at the same time is good at independent thinking and formulating independent battle plans, so that she is stubborn; she has firm beliefs and puts all her energy into her own goals. Therefore, she rarely says useless words or does useless things in normal times, which gives people a very cold and aloof feeling; but Saber also gradually felt Shirou's love for her during the battle, so she often showed her own actions later on. The girly side.

Saber has a strong self-recovery ability, but since Shirou cannot replenish Saber's magic power like other Masters, in order to reduce the consumption of magic power, she is usually in a sleeping state; because of this, Saber She is also very good at eating, and eating has even become her hobby, and she is quite interested in collecting recipes. In addition, Saber's drinking capacity is extremely good, and she can hardly get drunk after a thousand drinks.

Sbaer uses the divine sword Excalibur in battle, but in order to hide his strength, he usually uses the Wind King Barrier to make the sword invisible. She likes to fight openly and is not afraid of the enemy no matter how powerful it is; however, because she is too absorbed in fighting, she often ignores the surrounding situation. Saber's offensive Noble Phantasm "Sword of Oath to Victory" is quite powerful and can often defeat ordinary enemies with one move. Its ultimate Noble Phantasm "Avalon" is an absolutely perfect defensive barrier. It can instantly block all physical attacks and magic, which is Saber's ultimate magic weapon to defeat the enemy.

In the anime and the upcoming PS2 version of the game "Fate/stay night [Realta Nua]", Saber's voice actor is Ayako Kawasumi.

Setting the background

Artoria

P1: Praised as "the king who exists in the past and is resurrected in the future", a legendary hero in England ——King Arthur.

He is a hero widely praised as a synonym for knights. Not just a legend, but an actual person.

In fact, King Arthur was a famous general who led the Twelve Kings in northern England (Gododdin, one of the ancient kingdoms of Britain) to resist the invasion of foreigners such as the Picts and Scots. He was called "Dux Bellorum" ” (Lord of War).

P2: There are different opinions about the origin of the famous real-life King Arthur. There are also two people who believe that he fits the image of this king.

One is King Arthur, who is a pure Englishman, and the other is Artorius, a Roman.

The legends of these two people were mixed and became the story of one person. This is the prototype of the modern legend of King Arthur.

P3: The legend of King Arthur is really famous.

King Arthur pulled out the sword engraved with the inscription "He who draws this sword is the King of England" prepared by the peerless great magician Merlin, and was recognized as the King of England from then on.

Together with the Knights of the Round Table under his command, many stories were told and spread widely.

P4: Arthur is the son of King Joseph Beaulieu of Britain and his retainer, the Duke of Cornwall, his wife, the blue-eyed Igline.

Yose fell in love with Igraine and married her with the help of the magician Merlin. The price was to hand over the child he and Igraine had to Merlin.

"I want to help this child escape the crisis of the royal family, guide him to grow up as a child with a great destiny, and prevent him from going astray."

P5: Asia Ser was handed over by Merlin to Ser Ector, User's loyal knight, and was raised as his adopted son until he drew the Holy Sword of the Chosen King.

The wonderful and tortuous battle story of King Arthur pulling out his sword and becoming king is like a picture scroll filled with the spirit of medieval chivalry.

King Arthur became the great knight king and stationed in Camelot Castle. Many knights followed him and saved England from fire and water. As a hero, he can almost be said to have no shortcomings.

P6: The famous holy sword Excalibur held by King Arthur was not the sword of the chosen king, but was obtained from the fairy in the lake through the guidance of Merlin after losing the sword. The sword of the Fairy Country.

Vivian, the fairy princess of the lake, became King Arthur's guardian after granting him Excalibur.

Although King Arthur’s lifelong enemy, Morgan, the Fairy Queen, and Vivian, who is King Arthur’s guardian, are opposite to each other, Morgan himself is also a member of the Lake Fairy who protects the king. .

P7: King Arthur ordered the Knights of the Round Table to find the "Holy Grail".

Although the search for the Holy Grail is a core chapter in the story of the Knights of the Round Table in the legend of King Arthur, there were only three knights appointed, and King Arthur himself never embarked on a journey to find the Holy Grail.

Among the three knights, Lancelot was the most perfect, but due to the filth of unchastity, he could never obtain the Holy Grail. Although his son Galahad obtained the Holy Grail, he could not obtain the Holy Grail due to his uncleanness. His spiritual lack of desire finally gave up the Holy Grail.

P8: The legend ends with the death of King Arthur.

King Arthur’s half-sister, the Demon Queen Morgan, tried to kill him many times. In the end, the knight Mordred, who was born as a result of her strategy, achieved this goal and put an end to the legend.

King Arthur's decline began when his most trusted knight, Lancelot, disappeared due to his infidelity with King Arthur's wife Guinevere.

King Arthur lost his trustworthy knight, lost the sheath of his holy sword, and his country was captured during the expedition. King Arthur ushered in the final battle in a place called the Sword Fence.

P9: Before King Arthur died, he handed the holy sword Excalibur to Knight Bedivere and returned it to the Fairy of the Lake.

The body of King Arthur was taken by the fairies in the lake to Avalon, the resting place of heroes. Legend has it that King Arthur would come to Avalon when England was in crisis and dire straits. Wallon awoke from his long slumber to save his country.

Arthur carries the red dragon, the symbol of the British people, and he himself also has the attributes of a dragon. Because it has the element of a dragon, which is the embodiment of mystery and transcendence, its characteristic is that it possesses powerful magic power. But relatively speaking, it will be more disadvantageous when facing a hero with a legendary background of slaying dragons.

Weapon Introduction

Sword in the Stone Caliburn

The King of Knights in England, the holy sword that symbolizes King Arthur. It is guided by the magician Marin. This sword is The symbol of the king pulled out from the selected rock is different from the holy sword (Excalibur) given by the fairy in the lake, so its characteristics as a noble phantom are somewhat different

But for Saber , this holy sword is more familiar. Because the sword is often a symbol of power, the sword held by the king often becomes a cumbersome decoration. The biggest difference between Excalibur and Caliburn is that Caliburn is a sword. The price paid for the beautiful sword is that the accuracy of the weapon is not as good as Excalibur

Legend has it that King Arthur broke the Caliburn in a battle that violated chivalry

The King of Kings Sword Excalibur

In the legends of medieval Europe, the most famous one is the story of Arthur, the King of Britain, who led the Knights of the Round Table to gallop around.

As for Arthur, there is a real historical prototype. He was a leader of the Celtic people in Britain from the late fifth century to the early sixth century. However, in the following hundreds of years, In the Welsh heroic narrative literature, his appearance is completely different from his original shape, from a military leader to a wise king. He was identified as the son of King Uther Pendragon and Igrain, and his image also incorporated a large number of Celtic symbolic and mythological elements.

Excalibur is the holy sword that appeared with the legendary hero King Arthur. Like the theme of the legend itself, it represents domination and destruction, and is therefore known as a symbol of heroic power, the king of kings. The king's weapon is the sword of swords!

There are different opinions on the origin of excalibur. Some legends say that it was pulled out of the stone by King Arthur. But generally people agree with this: King Arthur broke his sword in battle one day, and under the guidance of the magician Merlin, he came to a lakeside. The elf in the lake holds a sword and raises it out of the water. King Arthur became the master of this sword. From then on, he used this artifact with the power of the elves to be invincible. Until the Battle of Camlann, which marked his defeat, the sword was returned to the hands of the elves in the lake.

In the British film "Unknown Force" supervised by John Bourman, this sword is large and heavy. The silver blade reflects a light green light, and the hilt and hilt are inlaid with gold. In addition, it also has a consistent image in several other works. It is basically grown up and thick, and the luxurious decoration shows the royal style.

There is also a legend about the sheath of excaliber, that is, the sheath has the power to protect the owner from harm. Merlin once asked Arthur, "If you had the choice between a sword and a scabbard, which one would you choose?" Arthur replied, "I am determined to have the sword.

Merlin sighed, "This is a stupid choice. The value of the scabbard is far greater than that of the sword!" "Yes, the sword does have the power to kill the enemy, but the sheath that can protect itself is the most precious. Similarly, it is important to eliminate evil, but if a king does not realize the value of guarding stability and peace, the result will only be It's just destruction...

As expected, Arthur was fatally injured in the decisive battle with Mordlet. He lay on the boat and was sent to the kingdom of elves. Arthur's era came to an end, and excaliber also came to an end. Disappearing forever in the depths of the quiet lake...

In the game, this sheath exists in Shirou's body. It is not difficult to understand why he can summon SABER and has a body like Xiaoqiang

Noble Phantasm Introduction

Wind King's Barrier Invisible Air Level: C Type: Anti-person Noble Phantasm Attack Distance: 1~2 Maximum Capture: 1 Person

Invisible sword.

It is difficult for the enemy to grasp the attack range of the sword. Although it is simple, it can exert great effect in hand-to-hand combat.

This Noble Phantasm is protected by powerful magic, not that the sword itself is transparent. .

The wind surrounding the sword changes the refractive index of light, making the shape of the sword invisible even if it does not reach a vacuum state. Wind is also very deadly and can increase the destructive power of slashes.

Only when the compressed wind is released can a vacuum be created

while the target is being attacked. If there is "the ability to correct visual impairment", the hit correction effect of the Wind King's Barrier cannot be used.

In addition to the advantage of making the sword body transparent, it also frees the compression. Wind can also be used as a one-time ranged weapon.

In this case, the damage is a fixed value and is not affected by Saber's own magic power or strength.

Pledge to Victory. Sword Excalibur Level: A++ Type: Anti-city weapon Attack range: 1~99 Maximum capture: 1000 people

The Sword of Light

It is not a man-made weapon, but is forged from the planet.

This holy sword can be said to be at the pinnacle of the category of holy swords.

This holy sword converts the owner's magic power into "light". After shrinking and accelerating, its momentum is increased, making it possible to perform god-level magic.

It looks like a huge beam to a third party, but in fact only the front end of the light has an attack detection;

p>

It is the "ultimate slash" that cuts off all objects that the "fault" formed by the light passes through.

The huge magic power causes the parts other than the tip to be heated, and the result is that. It is like the huge wave of light sweeping the ground. It can be said to be a directional energy weapon

Avalon, an ideal land far away from the world. Level: EX Type: Barrier Noble Phantasm Defense Target: 1 person< /p>

The ability of the Sheath of Excalibur.

The lost third treasure.

The Sheath of the Holy Sword was excavated by the Einzbern family in Cornwall and returned to the hands of its owner across thousands of years.

In the legend of King Arthur, the true power of the Holy Sword is the "immortality" of the sheath.

It has the ability to heal its owner's injuries and stop its aging. In fact, it can be called a "mobile fortress" for individual soldiers.

Unfolding the scabbard and placing yourself in the Fairy Country will shield you from all physical influences.

It can even defend against the five major magics such as "parallel world interference".
