It may be Caliburn, but that Design is most definitely Excalibur. Caliburn's blade is thinner, and the guard has a different design.

[@ravenwraith1017]

@@kevynlub2655 it is actually explainable by the lack of separate L and R sounds in Japanese. If you pronounce it right, Altria sounds little different from Artoria. Listening to this dub I actually could hear little difference honestly. Though that may just be because I have conditioned myself to pronounce the name properly regardless whether it is spelled the Japanese way or English. Actually, another good example of the difference between Japanese and English spelling would be my name. Its spelled Arekkusu. No L, and no X either. Pronounced no different though, afaik.

Merlin having Excalibur is weird. If he had a copy of Caliburn then it'd make sense, because he made that (Presumably?) as part of Artoria's kingship text. But Merlin doesn't have anything to do with Excalibur.

Personally fine with it, yes I do like Artoria better, and I know there's been conflict about it back and forth (with both Altria and Artoria being used at various points in Fate), but ehh, seeing Merlin kick ass and show why he's a Grand Caster candidate beyond just Clairvoyance makes my nitpicking go back to watching the action. Preferably Artoria, but I'll accept Altria too.

[@serf33z2]

@@rampagepotato4307 both Artoria and Merlin didnt die and they didn't trick anyone either it was stated in the wiki itself their legend alone make them worthy to become a servant. That's why Artoria didn't have avalon when she was summoned coz she is incomplete as a servant. Gil didn't travel with Merlin nor did he keep him by his side throughout the singularity as his servant and Merlin himself is a grand which can't be summoned by human. Edit: its True babylonia is ancient or thing in the past and Merlin shouldn't be born yet but that doesn't apply to the singularity concept lol coz the singularity itself is happening in the present. The OG babylonia is where Gil fight to the deaths with Enkidu and they passed away later on and his legend never state they fought Tiamat like in the babylonia singularity so Merlin not being born yet is irrelevant coz this is an entire different plane.

[@rampagepotato4307]

@@serf33z2 This is wrong on so many levels lol. - Artoria died tho. The plot of 6th Singularity was Bedivere seeking redemption after watching Artoria die. As long as someone isn't immortal, they'd eventually die and be recorded in the Throne of Heroes if they're famous enough. - The Artoria in F/SN was the version who didn't die in the hills of Camlann but got recruited by Alaya instead. - Unlike Artoria, Merlin is immortal. There's literally no version of Merlin who died. Hence, he can't be recorded in the Throne of Heroes. Like I said, since he's basically not alive in the times of Babylonia, he tricked the world into thinking he's dead. That's why he can summon a Servant version of himself into the Singularity. - Bruhh. Singularities literally happened in the past. Olga Marie even called Rayshifting "time travel". - It's because Tiamat was revived in this version of history that it became a Singularity lmao wtf are you talking about?
