Aaahhh....the husbando-class servant

[@mrkarandagr8]

When Indra comes asking for Karna's armour, Karna gives it knowingly because he can never deny anyones request. Secondly Karna misses shooting a poisonous snake who wants to kill Arjuna as an arrow once due to a manoeuvre pulled by krishna who is riding arjuna's chariot. The snake begs karna to take the shot again but because Karna is an honourable warrior he refuses to use the arrow second time even if it means that, that was the only sure shot way to kill arjuna. Thirdly when Karna's chariot gets stuck in mud, he gets down to remove the chariot. In that era in the Hindu Mythology getting down from the chariot meant a temporary ceasefire from the war and nobody should attack them (similar to how pilots shall not be attacked if they make it to the ground). Thus Arjuna is reluctant to kill Karna while he isn't in the battle but Krishna convinces him that if he doesn't kill Karna here, they may never actually win the war. And all of this after Karna has given the divine armour. Imagine the outcome of this battle had he not be so honourable in nature and held on to that armour. P.S. My father is a big follower of Karna and named me after him.

[@OtakuDaiKun]

That's awesome. Now I'll admit I don't think Fate's version of his lore is quite the same as the myths and legends.

[@mrkarandagr8]

OtakuDaiKun I agree with you but still I think they've done a commendable job with the bandwidth they had.

[@OtakuDaiKun]

Karan Bhagavath I mean it's just a matter of what things they wanted to keep, and what to change as a piece of historical fiction. For instance, Fate often ignores the heroes' children. Their kids play a larger role in Karna and Arjuna's rivalry.

[@omkarshirgaonkar6156]

[@Neelinmact]

Its tragic how his guru Parasurama found out that karna was not a Brahmin ,,, Although he never knew his true heritage ,, his disguise was thrown off because of his unparalleled devotion towards his teacher ,, once his teacher was sleeping with his head on karna’s legs ,, suddenly one scorpion started biting his legs but karna refused to bulge even slightly so that his teacher is not disturbed while sleeping,, he kept on enduring ,, blood kept on oozing but he did not bulged ,, suddenly parshuram woke up from his sleep and saw karna ‘s blood ,, he quickly threw that scorpion of karna’s legs ,, parshuram was known to be a very angry man but an knowledgeable and astute teacher ,, he figured out that it was impossible for a brahmin to endure such pain and he figured out that karna was lying about his heritage ,, he cursed karna that at the most crucial moment he would forget all his teachings and his chariot would be sucked up by earth ,, Parshuram was summoned by lord shiva for his angry reaction and he regretted as to what he did to one of his best and devoted students but it was fated to happen since karna chose wrong side to align with

Duryodhana was a greedy power-hungry prick, but he was the only one who treated Karna like an equal, so it's understandable that he would turn a blind eye to things that Duryodhana did.

You know that in the original epic from which Karna comes, he was at a war with Arujna's side (The Pandavas) As the war started the general of both sides shot an arrow to each others chariot, Arjuna shot the first arrow and Karna's Chariot moved a few meters karna tried next but his arrow only moved Arjuna's Chariot was pushed only a few feet away, every one laughed and ridiculed Karna and Arjuna was laughing but later Krishna (The incarnation of one of the 3 primordial god Vishnu himself) who was the charioteer of Arjuna was applauding Karna. Arjuna asked - O lord why are you praising him even though I'm the greatest archer here, Karna lost to. to this Krishna replied - Do not be delusional Arjuna, Karna was able to move this chariot on which I'm sitting, I Krishna the one who carries the weight of all universe with him. not even the gods could have been able to move this chariot. Arjuna - But aren't I the greatest Warrior? this Krishna replied bluntly - do not be fooled arjun, Karna can kill you eyes closed, you are no match for him, He can kill Indra himself (Indra is God of thunder and Arjuna's father) if your father hadn't taken his Armor from him, he could even defeat me in a battle. It took 4 curses/mishaps to kill Karna in the war 1- He was cursed that on most important time in his life the earth would betray him, and in the war his chariot wheel got stuck in the ground. 2 - He was cursed that when needed the most he will forget the knowledge to use Brhamastra, and he wasn't able to use it in the war. 3- He gave his mother a promise to not kill rest of her sons except arjuna 4- Indra took his kavacha and Kundala (Armor) from him Despite all this Arjuna was only able to kill Karna when he was out of his Chariot and was trying to take out the wheel of his chariot completely defenseless.

He's such a nice guy, he treasures and cares for even the Masters who don't know how to utilize his full potential. HEYO-CHAL-DELUXE!

[@sammydray5919]

I forgot how assholish the Gods like Krishna and Indra were as well as the royalty pricks like Arjuna. However Karna's friend Duryodhan was one of the biggest assholes to ever exist and did not deserve someone like Karna lol.

[@emred4653]

Dang now Im even more happy for getting him so I had the chance to learn his legend

[@jamaldavis831]

Being a Lancer truly is suffering.

[@spirz4557]

Not this Lancer.

[@arjunsingh8219]

If it makes you feel better then his dominant class IS archer. He was majorly nerfed in Apocrypha xD

[@soralight_x]

I wouldn't say that. Karna was truly Happy & at peace at the End of Apocrypha.

[@damienstorm7263]

You know a funny thing none of the pandavas were actually pandu's son so they have no right to the throne

[@yaboigamerdouji7573]

Karna legit gets screwed over multiple times due to petty people.

[@thespikeheadboy3164]

Awesome video OtakuDaiKun and Karna truly is the Hero of Charity

[@Freedom001]

Truely your voice and its acting is such a huge draw to your channel Dia. Thank you

[@OtakuDaiKun]

I literally get both praise and scorn for my delivery on a daily basis. I appreciate the support^^

[@arianejane2620]

Karna knows what was needed to happen. He said it in one of the episodes that he was just looking forward to a good fight with the Lancer of Black. He was even more concerned of it than protecting Shirou (like he needed it) or the Hanging Garden. He died satisfied tho. At least he smiled. Also he has the discernment of the poor meaning he knows if someone has good or bad intentions. He knows that Sieg needs to go to Ruler to stop Shirou from getting to the grail.

[@peterk.m58]

If Gilgamesh is mankind's oldest hero, then surely Karna is mankind's oldest 'tragic' hero. P.s. Do one on Okita Souji!

[@denieerham5873]

if this guy were real and live in this age he's gonna get scammed alot and still forgive the scammer.

[@rickbhattacharya2334]

Untill you linked the fate story every information given is accurate. We always listen to them in our childhood, feels good to see Western people to read Indian purans . Nice research bro

[@theothersideofthestory7691]

Karna is the greatest because in the series they made him a lancer while originally he was a archer who literally conquered the three realem for his friend and not to mention he had weapons and arrows that can literally destroy the universe itself compare him in his archer mode, gil and his noble fantasim are like small ants trying to climb a mountain

[@soralight_x]

I'm so glad his Animation Update was released early on NA.

[@samrazcoxsbazar2177]

Karna is strong but I think Gil can give Karna a good fight

[@vedicpride]

​@@samrazcoxsbazar2177 some but gil not hand to hand like karna

[@thegooddoctor413]

out of all the Apocrypha servants Karna is my favorite as he is a man of honor and forgiveness. a role model of sorts

[@venomheart5281]

What about Brahmastra Raksha? Those huge multiple spears he summons that create a nuclear explosion? Anyway it's a great video. Makes me appreciate more the fact I single rolled him!

[@SiegfriedFafnirsbane]

Isn't that just his Manaburst

[@amarnathg2998]

Near heard of that one .

[@omega4667]

My boy is finally here

[@wbiddy4301]

Lancer and Rider are normally the most interesting classes but Lancer have sad endings

[@barrydalton4743]

Karna is one of my favorite characters in the whole Nasuverse and the fact that he is my first 5 Star Servant in the game pleases me. I can't wait for Lostbelt 4 where he can shine even brighter.

[@spirz4557]

The only Lancer who died in an honourable way, gentlemen !

[@amarnathg2998]

Karna's bow which he received from parashuram was Vijaya which literally means victory the wielder of this bow always be victorious in any battle . Bhargava Astra is an arrow ( personal divine Astra of parashuram) this particular arrow can't be blocked or countered by any means .

[@PeacefulAmphibian]

I watched this anime a few years ago and I still wonder why he isnt an archer

[@starwhale3070]

Wait....there could have been an Archer Karna?! Sorry Gilgamesh, i know you have been on my team since day 4 of the official FGO NA server launch, but i will replace you with Karna quickly and easily

[@SolarDragon007]

XKharge 0 Karna was primarily famed for his prowess in Archery yes.

[@PaulNBlack]

Karna would be more suited for both Archer and Rider classes than Lancer

[@strikerron2252]

Karna as archer is total OP literally no way to defeat him if the curse strikes him again

[@holyordersol2668]

Where has it been stated that Archer Karna would be "total[ly] OP"? Not that I doubt it. Rather, that I'm curious of the official source.

[@Beam_World]

holyordersol He holds a victory bow that guarantees the victory, his armous protects him from all physical attacks, his earrings protect him from all divine weapons. Considering chains of heavens are divine weapons, these will have 0 effect on karna along with other god created divine weapons. He has anti universe weapons. If archer karna had to be summoned, he'd be nerfed into the ground to even balance the tables.

[@quantum7046]

I learnt of Karna looong before I knew the concept of a demigod, so it feels a bit weird to me that he is one, lol

[@kagegenius]

I'm Indian and no offense dude but your pronunciation is hilarious.

[@OtakuDaiKun]

Arrush Hegde I have a fellow Indian friend who said most of these names in a recording for me to mimic. I'm a bit sad that wasn't enough.

[@kagegenius]

OtakuDaiKun it's your effort that counts. You did a good job. No need to feel dejected.

[@narenvasudev007]

I'm Indian as well and will agree the pronunciation was a bit weird but whatever...

[@SolarDragon007]

OtakuDaiKun Indian names can be hard to pronounce

[@cecilphilip5026]

It was funny... can't lie there,but nice try!

[@aredjayc2858]

He always loses due to fighting the protagonist... such is the luck of a lancer

[@Garmagic2yFhenrakh9]

Can you do the Tale of Rama? I just learned about this character and I love his backstory and motivations! Truly, if I were to become a Master, I would summon him.

[@pablo9234]

rama is surprisingly great. FGO really made me like him a lot. Sita in lostbelt 4 please

[@indrason6974]

Garmagic2yFhenrakh9 would have been better if he gets to be an adult archer

[@nmv2327]

karna's teacher also give him a boon that he will be remembered as a glorious warrior but not as a greatest archer until the end of humanity. Till this day in India he was referred as great, generous warrior even though he fought on wrong side. and also he willingly gave his Armour to indra (king of gods). In all his life even when he become a king every one discriminated as lowborn until his death. His whole life is tragedy only moment he find solace is when duryodana (villein) recognized his talents and make him a king of anga (currently Bangladesh). He is tragic hero of Indian history.

[@xuanathan]

This was secretly the tale of Bayonetta. The gods had to curse her repeatedly, and she still was fucking broken.

[@ashesofcynder]

Ya know that "he shoots his gun, he misses" meme from Game Grumps? Well that's Karna except it's "he tries, he's cursed again"

[@danieleron4971]

it seem's like the less greed one have in their heart in the fate series, the more suffering they will find

[@AtelierGod]

Sorry for being late Dai. If you need help with Norse mythological heroes I am available to give you help.

[@nervmeister]

Thor as Rider just so I can see him and Quetzalcoatl duke it out on their respective mounts.

[@assinie]

must..... protect..... the sweetest red poof ball i've ever seen

[@AiNoKime]

karna, bro you are the most unlucky dude ever. very interesting lore. I love saber and gilgamesh is next but karna you top 3 !!

[@shuturelisharri3691]

Karna is awesome af. Best husbando.

[@snarky5341]

Could Achilles shield be classified as reality marble? I thought it was much more close to a bounded field.

[@OtakuDaiKun]

Snarky I'm not sure.

[@cake6851]

Snarky Well reality marbles are just more complicated bounded field.

[@Ananta9817]

Bounded fields are areas with active magical properties that can be cast with conventional magic. Reality Marble overrides the local reality of a region, like a boundary or "marble", by projecting the user's inner world onto the real one like an illusion. Hence, Reality Marble/ Koyū Kekkai translates to Innate Bounded Field. Just think of bounded fields as a category, and RM as a sub-category with different mechanics that makes them superior. Akhilleus Kosmos is more like a compressed RM (miniature world) that sends all of the attacks received in its compressed boundary into the world of Achilles.

[@praveenloganathan7495]

bhargavastra is a devastating arrow that can fire an endless supply of nukes wherever he wanted.

[@karanveermultani6594]

I'm lucky enough to have an anime character named after me 😂

[@harukozgoalz3566]

I have a strong man crush on the fate/apocrypha version of Karna

[@setsunatenma9467]

Karna the best friend someone can have

[@signoramybeloved4308]

what is with ancient people and accidental babies

[@OtakuDaiKun]

umu Hers was more like having a child she knew she couldn't take home. Reckless more than accidental.

[@Ananta9817]

It was more of a test. She wanted to check if the sage truly rewarded her hard work and diligence when she served him. So she had to test the mantra and Karna's life of suffering would begin.

[@nicholoylevy8725]

my favorite servant

[@bijoychandraroy]

karna is my favourite character in Mohabharat (an holy war which is made into an holy book which is equal to bible in a way 4 us hindus) jsyk im not that much religious so if i offend someone pls don't kill me this dude so op he got himself in an anime

[@RajatKumar-jw7ghffg]

Nice video bro but you missed some points 1). The barhmin gave him curse for killing his cow was that he will die helpless 2). While helping a little girl he pressed earth into his hands, hurt from that Earth (bhoomi) Goddess gave his curse that she will also Stuck his chariot during war 3). He used his vijaya (victory) Bow in his fight against Arjuna and his victory was sure as long as he had his bow. 4). during the battle when his chariot was stuck in mud he asked Arjuna to rest his bow and arrows until he get it out as it was against the rule of war to attack any helpless while doing it he left his bow on his chariot and Lord Krishna saw it as opportunity and asked Arjuna to use his Anajalika (Arrow of Wind god) Astra to kill Karna cause lord Krishna knew that even without his bow and armor normal weapons or low or mid lvl divine weapons cannot do a thing to Karna, he was strong enough to destroy those with his bare hands. 5) as Arjuna beheaded Karna a light like sun came of of his body and dissolved into sun during this the whole battle field went as silent as nothing not even a animal was making a single noise 6). Death of Karna was end of war Duryodhana lost everything along with his friend and his grief was unbearable he wanted to die and join his friend as soon as possible 7). Lastly Indra did not stole his armor he begged for it disguised as a beggar he knew that Karna was Generous

[@OtakuDaiKun]

Rajat Kumar That's awesome. I know Fate kinda does its own thing with the lore so I'm not sure if everything you said is there but it would have been fun to add. For instance, Fate doesn't really mention Karna or Arjuna's kids. The thing about the beggar was there but I may have tried to simplify it.

[@RajatKumar-jw7ghffg]

Its oki i understand but the point is people often get wrong ideas about the epics Like they have given the Vajra to Minamoto no yorimitsu (4 star) and explained it as last weapon of gods and Arjuna and Rama sweating over it i will be really gald if you do a lore video on minamoto no yorimitsu (4 star) and how have weapon that dose not belongs to he. Thankyou

[@Ananta9817]

...Come to think of it, in his battle against Ghatotkacha, Karna grabbed the Vajra of Shiva (believed to be the strongest one) in midair which was hurled by Ghatotkacha and threw it back at him. I felt like that was one of his most epic moments in the war. Since fate replicated his feat of launching Brahmastra from his eye (mind), I want to see this happen.

[@RajatKumar-jw7ghffg]

That what i am saying in wiki of minamoto no yorimitsu Vajra is described as most powerful and last weapon of gods which it was not, While Karna on the other hand mastered Barhamasheerastra and Brahmanastra which were way to powerful.

[@sidarthasubhankar4912]

Karna is really OP even in Myth. Many people (teacher, mother, GODS, his own charioteer, comrades) screw him up so that he died. Heck that guy single handedly conquered the world with a small army which even Arjuna couldn't do. I hope many foreign authors follow his life story or involve him series like this.

[@ousamadearudesuwa]

Arjuna and Karna have the truest among the best of friends in History. Lets take out Enkidu and Gilgil Machine for this two dudes who respected each other especially when death tears them apart.

[@siddarth3955]

They were blood brothers and sworn enemies

[@devsingh403]

Karna never request to Lord Prushram to remove his curse ..... at end day of mahabharat war Prushram realizes that he did very wrong with his student Karna that's why Prushram give Karna a bow name Vijay dhanush the bow blessed with victory and blessed Karna whenever the bow is present in the hand of Karna not even Gods can defeat him that's by krishna play a trick on him and order arjuna to kill karna when he does not have the bow in his hand.... but that not means Krishna does wrong because karna already knows what going to happen ... or when karna is dying lord krishna offer karna to ask a wish from him he ask three wishes from krishna in which one wish is, he want to leave the soul from his body from that place where never any sin happen to fullfill his wish lord krishna lift karna his body with his both hand means the place where never any sin happen are the hands of Lord krishna.... Karna is the eldest brother of Pandavas and is known by many name mritumjay means immortal after dying, great friend means not leave his friend site even he know dreyodhan is wrong, or mahadani karna

[@sammydray5919]

So Karna never got that fair duel he wanted??? Feels bad man 😣

[@OtakuDaiKun]

Sammy Dray Kinda like Diarmuid.

[@rohankushwaha2559]

karna recieved vijaya bow from parashurama and bhargavaastra was a astra in legends
