Fate Lore - The Tale of Mordred

[@otakudaikun]

CORRECTION! Mordred did not receive Clarent, she stole it when she assumed power during Artoria's absence.

[@nightslasherstudios724]

Now that makes more sense to me

[@jonahlafountain4299]

Also correction: mordred did not die from her injuries. She died due to smoking for the first time. It’s well known side effect to first time smoking.

Kairi Sisigou: Listen up kid, that Arthur maybe your father but ain't your daddy. Kairi and Mordred are the only pair who get their wish granted in Apocrypha. A master wants a capable daughter and a servant who want a good daddy.

[@ElvenRaptor]

As much as I like Arturia, yeah... "He" was NOT ready for parenthood even under normal circumstances, let alone the complicated ones that brought Mordred into being.

[@Alpha.Phenix]

Battle of Camlann [True Ending]: Mordred: See father!? This is what you get for hating me just because I was born to a witch! Arthuria: I never hated you. Mordred: What? Arthuria: I only said you couldn't have the throne because you weren't ready to be a king. Mordred: Wha-? Arthuria: You know, you could have just kept training and studying. Mordred: B-but... Arthuria: And now it's too late. Look around you. Would a king do this to their people? Mordred: I... Arthuria: You failed. Mordred: Well maybe if you hugged me and explained that sooner, then this woudn't be happening! Arthuria: ... Mordred: ... Arthuria: I- Mordred: So...wanna go for pizza? Arthuria: Yes...let's. And thus the portal to Carnival Phantasm oppened, and the two could finally have a proper father & son relationship.

If the only reason you hate Mordred is because she killed Artoria, then you need to get over yourself. I love both father and son and they ended up killing each other. Each have their respective faults for letting things end in such a tragedy yet at the same time both recognize their respective faults once they were summoned as familiars. I love them both and will keep doing so. I encourage you to do the same and the stop the needless hate, especially for Mordred.

I can only imagine such a chance meeting. Shirou kind as he is would probably welcome her with open arms.

[@xl9079]

I’ve read somewhere that in Fate, the Battle of Camlann was the first conflict between Mordred and King Arthur. In fact, Mordred actually wanted it to be the only fight so that civilian casualties could be kept to a minimum. Also, something rather interesting is that Mordred was actually left in charge of Camelot while the King was fighting in Rome. So, you have to admit that Saber kind of shot herself in the foot, especially if she was aware of Mordred’s anger at her.

[@LeonGun8]

Yes but Mordred also baited Artoria into battle. She had already claimed she was the King and even claimed Artoria may have died in the expedition to the mainland.

[@noahweathers4408]

Mordred is bar none my favorite Knight of the Round Table. Her playful, tomboyish personality is most endearing, and she’s proven multiple times to be quite loyal to those who earn her trust. As I said a year ago, it is ironic that the Knight of Treachery would prove a dependable and loyal ally. It saddens me that her relationship with Artoria is so strained. As I have said before, one of the biggest draws of the Fanfiction Fragments of Chaldea is that the two of them do get an opportunity to reconcile and become a loving family unit along with the other Round Table members.

Didn't Mordred steal Clarent when Artoria went on her expedition? It wasn't bestowed to her.

[@Natnas]

Well that's true. Also who knows when male version of Mordred comes out and has his/her/their own origin and motives for hating Arthur. Gotta love this series.

[@erasablefallen7223]

I know this is late but my speculation is that maybe Mordred was presented Clarent as a sort of badge of office after making it into the Knights of The Round but because after revealing her true identity to Artoria and Artoria rejected her maybe the sword was then weakened or taken back. I mean isn't Clarent supposed to be The Royal Sword of Succession, meant to be passed on to the heir? Because Artoria denied Mordred and didn't recognize her as her heir, the sword was then considered stolen (by way of not being in the hands of an acknowledged heir, not actually stolen) and it's strength weakened or maybe Artoria took Clarent back and Mordred stole it while she was away. Just a thought :3

[@MukuonChannel]

Some people want to have Artoria and Mord get their rematch. But I on the other hand would like for them to finally make up. Because Artoria knew all along, she wasn't as worthy of being the King just like her daughter was. She died full of regrets, from the downfall of the Knights of the Round, to the downfall of Camelot itself. And most importantly, she died never even treated Mordred the attention she deserved.

[@otakudaikun]

Some Yakuza Dad With a Beard Yes. The grail wars were a humbling experience for her.

[@MukuonChannel]

Especially if you'd think they would meet again in the Throne of Heroes, sadly they most likely won't. As caster Amadeus Mozart said in Grand Order: "There are many heroes in the Throne, as there were stars in the sky, for us to even see each other in such afterlife would be next to impossible." It is possible but in a one in a million chance. Akasha is a stickler when it comes to managing even their afterlives.

Hopefully, we will get a SaberfaceMorgan Le Fay as Caster (I don't think we have anyone in FGO yet) servant soon and we will see how her story plays out. So far her story is pretty interesting. 1/ Morgan is the firstborn child hence she should inherit the throne due to hirachy. 2/ Her younger sister Artoria, pulled Caliburn out of the stone and was crowded as new king due to the sword ruling. 3/ Morgan holds grudges against Arotria due to this development (then maybe some back story on how the 2 used to get along with Morgan destine to be the next empress only to lose the throne to Artoria due to a magical sword Caliburn selection ruling). 4/ This will make Mordred had a strong claim to the throne due to being a child of Morgan with the lost of Caliburn (no more king selection via Caliburn hence go back to order of hierarchy) after Artoria reign without heir due to being female, and Guinivere and Lancelot affair got exposed.

"I dunno...never really did well with partners." "Oh what? Look we might have lost but we were fucking badasses back there! I mean,i havent had this kind of a rush in battle since ages and hell,we did some good things in the end!" Mordred spoke proudly. Kairi sighed. "You really arent gonna leave even with the war over are you?" "Ha! Id like to see whod try and stop me." Kairi sighed again. Then got up carefully. "Well. This might be one screwed up world. But why don't we try changing that somewhat?" Kairi said. "A necromancer and a knight huh. Well. Were still alive yeah? Why not,im in!" Mordred exclaimed. "Yeah but...we should probably see a hospital..." "Yeah yeah,come on old man,i got you." Mordred grabbed kairi and off they went. Huh...so the grails headed to avalon then. Aint that ironic.

[@strafe_breaker3440]

From what I read, the expedition that Artoria had that gave Mordred the opportunity to stage the rebellion was actually the manhunt for Lancelot and during the King's absence, Mordred took Clarent (Artoria's other sword) from the armory where despite her being able to use it skillfully, only the rightful king can use its full potential, if so, then Mordred is indeed one remarkable Saber class that was only held back by her family issues if she was still able to deliver a killing blow to Artoria in life and can still use Clarent Blood Arthur as a servant with such power output when she does not even have the full right to be using it. Truly Mordred has a lot of learning to do but imho, she is worthy to be Artoria's heir. Too bad Artoria decided not to trust the blood residing inside her child.

EZ I care about Sieg. He wants to help his kind get free from oppression.

[@somerandomfatguy.3384]

So what's gonna happen if Mordred and Aurthor meet again what kind of feelings they gonna express wow so eager to know it

[@otakudaikun]

We get a sample of that in the Camelot and summer events.

[@merafirewing6591]

Mordred is best tomboy. I wonder how would Artoria would react if she end up walking in on Shirou and Mordred at the wrong time.

[@otakudaikun]

She would feel bad, like getting cheated on.

[@angelvan1052]

Your video help me understand Mordred much better and how come King Arthur flaws too. Excellent facts!

[@stridin]

Great video!!! Both Mordred and Artoria are great characters. So The whole Artoria having the gentleman's rod by Merlin was a tempory thing or was it a permanent attachment? Because I've been trying to get more info. Also if this was a permanent thing even her time of the Holy Grail Wars. I will never forgive you, Merlin.

[@otakudaikun]

stridin Temporary ram rod.

[@Anonomous518]

Mordred is like the Shadow to Artoria’s Sonic.

[@holyforce000]

I find Mordred to be cool in most respects as she does not really hide herself behind a mask like Artoria when she was alive. I'm not sure if anyone made a connection but I see Mordred in the same light as Starscream himself from the Armada series; I remember the scene Galvatron recalls the last words of Starscream (waking him up) and when he berated his minions as he pointed out that; Yes, Starscream did betray him but he never strayed from the Descepticon code; this brings a smile to my face as this fits Mordred too.

[@otakudaikun]

holyforce000 Except for the part where she literally doesn't show her face. You're talking personality though.

[@holyforce000]

OtakuDaiKun Yeah

[@adenyang4398]

I'd actually say that both Mordred and Artoria hid themselves behind masks to some degree. Neither of them had a chance to live a "normal" life, and were swords for other people - Artoria for her people, and Mordred for Morgan le Fay. Both of them had to live as men and had to live around men, and didn't really get any chance to express themselves honestly. (both Artoria and Mordred wanted to be viewed and treated as men). The difference between their personality really comes from their personality themselves. Mordred's personality seems more centered around passion, while Artoria tends to be more about being formality, honor, and pure-heartedness(?). Although Artoria seems to be prone to getting upset or sulky quite easily - especially if she gets teased, at least towards people really close to her. (certain portions of Fate route and Hollow Ataraxia will show this well).

The tragic history in Camelot nasuverse!!!!! In the end mordred was just a puppet being used by Morgan to overthrow arturia.... In fate in time fanfic..... I don't know if mordred will born from whom.... An red haired mordred.... Aka shirou+Morgan..... 😌😌😌😝😝😝😝😂😂😂😂😂

[@katepiard6520]

i wish there could have been an ending with Arturia accepting Mordred and taking her as the king's son

[@darkshado124]

Merlin: Here! FUTANARI NO JUTSU! Artoria: Wut? Morgan: Ooh! Free realestate! Mordred: :D

[@kami9143]

I wish Okita was the star of Fate Grand Order cause I think she and Heroine X Alter aren't main /serious/ characters unlike the other Saberfaces (Artoria, Nero, Mordred and Heroine X)

[@LunaPPK]

well they where more or less made as joke characters to begin with

[@kami9143]

Luna Kaze true but Nero was a joke charater too

[@KazumiKiguma]

Not in that way. Okita was basically them hyping up a new character reveal just for it to be another saberface, and Heroine X is obvious. Nero is the canon summon of the MC for Fate/Extra, even though you can technically summon one of 3 (or Gilgamesh in CCC), but the manga and Extella show that she was canon, and she's far from just a joke character in Extra.

[@TheReneve]

As someone relatively new when it comes to the nasuverse and its fandom, one thing I wonder is whether there's an in-universe explanation as to why the likes of Mordred and Nero, even when they're not in their home turf, seem quite a bit stronger than your average servant, including other saber class servants. Isn't the power of a heroic spirit determined mainly by its fame, age and the legends surrounding that person ? If so, shouldn't someone like Nero who isn't particularly renowned for his (her in this universe) martial prowess, or Mordred who isn't that famous, compared to the king and the other knights of the round table, be weaker than someone like Siegfried ? To clarify, I've watched all available fate anime but I've played none of the games/visual novels. Most of the info I have on the subject come from the wiki.

[@adenyang4398]

It also heavily depends on what they were capable in life. Artoria, and the Round Table members were all excellent warriors in life. One of them even had a "bow" that fired sonic energy projectiles, and Artoria also fought a gigantic dragon during her life alongside Gawaian. In fact Artoria during the 5th (and to a lesser extent 4th) Grail war was significantly nerfed compared to how she was in life, due to the low mana output of Shirou and the restrictive Servant class system. The closest to when Artoria was capable in life was probably during her having Rin as a master. (proper mana supply).

[@GSSAGE7]

SchismeEternel A heroic spirit's age gives a boost to their parameters (especially if they're more famous in a certain place), while the legends just define some of their powers. The Knights of the Round Table, as a whole, are INCREDIBLY famous, with Mordred being one of the most famous members, due to his (or, in the Nasuverse, HER) role in the fall of Camelot. King Arthur him/herself, is such a famous story that EVERYONE knows about him/her, to the point that even paired with an incompetent magus like Shirou still lets them defeat multiple Servants.

[@soarel325]

Nero isn't actually very powerful in the lore outside of Imperial Privilege and her NP. Mordred is very famous due to being a Knight of the Round Table and the most infamous villain of Arthurian legend. Also, he fought and killed Artoria, which inherently means he has the abilities to fight against one of the strongest Sabers.

Nope well this comment is two years ago I would assume you know by now that artoria has better swordmanship and poweroutput than mordred (their mana burst works differently even tho they have the same rank artoria is pure energy while mordred is just red lightning)

I don’t know about you guys, but the Fate Series has THE ABSOLUTE WORST ADVICE on how to rule and lead people.

[@otakudaikun]

General Rendar I don't know if Fates lore ever constituted as advice.

[@generalrendar7290]

@@otakudaikun oh that wasn't a critique on your video. I'm just noting how the God-awful advice Arthur in this series recieved helped lead to all this suffering. Abandoning your humanity, not acknowledging your emotions sowed the seeds of discord that ruined the king's life and made Arturia inflexible and insensitive. Plus the fact that she was miserable the whole time she was king. Would things have turned out differently had Arturia been honest about her identity from the start? Maybe, but that means we wouldn't have this series. It would be interesting to see a story where Merlin was the villain the whole time and was seeking the destruction of the Pendragon line while securing his gain.

[@otakudaikun]

General Rendar Yeah, even Merlin realized they went too far in raising her.

[@jamesomara3361]

If I wouldn't get ran through immediately, I wish I could get summoned to the room when Morgan revealed herself to Artoria just so I could mediate and explain to both parties what the other is trying to say. Morgan wanted her father's love more than anything. Artoria's failure to see that cost everyone everything in the end. And Mordred's selfishness, her refusal to see that all the qualities she'd worshipped in Artoria, the same qualities that made her a great king, were the very reasons she had to be rejected. I would be like "IDIOTS, EXPLAIN YOUR ACTUAL FEELINGS BEFORE ALL HELL BREAKS LOOSE"

[@shinju112]

Shishigou and mordred were the best master and servant team in the fate apocrypha anime.

If Artoria wasn’t such a heartless person, her country may have never fallen. This was her failing as king, as she’d realise in Fate Stay Night
