Behind The Servants: Murasaki Shikibu and Sei Shonagon

Cool Heian Facts: There is a good chance that both Sei and Murasaki dyed their teeth black at some point, as it was viewed as fashionable.

I got to read the Tale of Genji for a class several years ago- the whole class was just that book. The professor said Murasaki's name (Murasaki) was just dumped on her from one of the leading ladies of the Tale as a joke by some guy. So like Sei, we don't know her real name.

[@joseangeles8382]

I mean her name does just mean, purple no😅

[@bitterblossom271]

Thank you so much for this video! They're two of my favorite characters EVER in F/GO and I simply LOVE the way they were portrayed in the game (Murasaki was actually the character that made me start playing lol). I wish we could get more story chapters and events where they get to interact because they have such a fun dynamic and actually KNEW each other irl so it makes everything more precious. Already got Murasaki at NP2 on NA and am anxiously waiting for Sei to come home next year and join her best frenemy!

[@joseangeles8382]

Right ??? I Absolutely LOVED how they were portrayed, and especially designed! I love that they actually gave them junihitoe as their final forms instead of a “sexy kimono”. I was so happy when I was able to role for them 😭🥹

[@Trubripes]

Summoning gentle souls like those two and Anastasia to fight as front line meat shield makes us the real monsters.

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas!

A little late to the video but thank you for telling more about their lore. Sei Shonagon is the motive I started playing Fate Grand Order (more for the funny switch girl memes) and got Murasaki during her event this year and I absolutely loved her. I will go after Shonagon next year and I hope I get her because it was a really long wait.

Merry Christmas to you and a Happy New Year's. Thank you for making this video of these two ladies. I have always held a great appreciation and fondness for storytellers, both of the oral tradition and the literary tradition. The ability to tell stories that can reach people from both across time and different continents is one of the greatest features of mankind. We are able to pass on life lessons and cultural values through the small Act of social interaction. To make a long story short, I think you did really great job with this video and I'm glad that I got to learn more about these two lovely ladies. If it's not too much trouble, then would you consider making a servant review on Scheherazade? She's honestly one of my favorite hero as she was able to save an entire Kingdom with nothing but the power of telling stories. True such a great accomplishment did take a heavy toll on her in the game, but I think that her accomplishments should at least be noted.

[@klidge]

She’s one I plan on doing in the future! The 1001 Arabian nights were a staple in my household so I’d happily cover her at some point

[@allisondempsey982]

@@klidge Yay! I'm so glad to hear that. I look forward to your video on her.😊 Thank you.

[@harrya9458]

Merry Christmas, get well soon, and thanks for the story of storytelling!

[@SaPito_Tashkent]

I would like to see a video about Ashiya Dōman

[@projektgeronimo2696]

Same

[@klidge]

He is on my doc!

[@johantank5631]

Merry Christmas! get well soon..

[@JadedWarlock]

This was pretty good. I know this is late but Merry Chirstmas. If you go over Asterios and Europa that's be great cause they both are related to a Greecian Era figure that is talked about but never seen in the FGO community, King Minos of Crete.

[@PlasmaV3]

I can’t wait till you do a behind the servant on Oberon he is by far my favorite servant if not top 3 I got him max bond and really liked him in lb6

[@hexmark21]

Merry Christmas! Thanks for the double feature of these 2 fascinating figures Also, I hope you get well soon

[@screaminediot1]

i would LOVE if you did low rarity 1 star pirate Roberts, tho i am just one man, i love this pirate and have constant fights with my friend over him being a better support for a team than ushi: a three star rider (whos better for dmg)

[@klidge]

Oh he's def a better support than Ushi for a quick/crit team. Ushi can work for some all around support but there are way better options than her if your looking for sup stuff. Roberts is on my doc for a future Pirate Episode!

[@dragonhunter1508]

Merry Christmas and I hope you get better

[@Kingjder02]

Musashi-Chan please

[@klidge]

Already on my doc!

Butter mud

[@papaaeon7210]

I usually don’t particularly care for swimsuit alts, especially for characters who already get a ton of screen time and Nasu/DW love anyway, but ogddamn if Murasaki’s alt is f something out of this world.

[@worldofchaos644]

hope you have fun today.

[@hexbug9737]

[@Vithor.G16]

Awesome video! Merry Christmas, everyone! ^~^

[@matthewmoss50]

I just got two Sei in the 5th anniversary gssr. I was rolling for Yang but I love the outgoingness of Sei and having her at np 2 isn’t too bad either so I’m happy

[@user-ob5do9fw5c]

Pls do a vid about caenis

[@klidge]

She is on my doc!

[@user-ob5do9fw5c]

Like i heard that caenis is canonically the first trans person so thats kinda interesting and the design and gameplay are great

[@projektgeronimo2696]

What a great Christmas gift this is(tho it already ended in my place xd)

[@crispypata]

hope you recover from the 19 but thanks for the lewds

[@lenleon3699]

Murasaki and Semiramis didn’t tempt me to blow my SQ the last two years but there is something that calls me about Sei.

[@Chris_MarMar]

Sei’s personality is a 10/10. What more does one need?

[@THEBULLETPROOFKINGDOM]

I know you meant to say *Heian-kyo* but you sound like you just said "High End Kyo"

[@seizalez8096]

nice
