Sekhie Reacts to Fate: Arjuna

[@straymerodach4713]

i like what Fate did with Arjuna, they gave him a bit of imposter syndrome for "being so great, liked by everyone, born with a golden spoon in his mouth" and his solution to the impostor sydrome was to kill the person he thought was better/greater than him, Karna

[@Omniseed]

A very faithful yet novel way to characterize him for sure!

[@dettlaffvandereretein4251]

A note on those stats, when Strength is B and up, it means that their normal attacks are equivalent to a C-A rank noble phantasm. Yes, a punch from Heracles is equivalent to some other servants' full np. 💀

[@ron2millionare972]

I think you forgot to look at Arjuna’s Formal Outfit. In Fate, Arjuna and Minamoto no Raikou are half-siblings because Raikou’s father was Indra in disguise. When Arjuna found out, he was amazed that he had another sibling born centuries after his time.

[@t.h.e.animeclub]

Interesting. I'll see if we did, and it shall get added to the updates video coming soon

[@EclipsedTwilight]

Independent Action and Magic Resistance are standard Class Skills for Archer-class Servants, so it's more rare for one *not* to have those particular skills. Pashupata's description notes how, despite having such a wide area of effect, it isn't just 'blasting the entire area away' - rather it individually targets and passes judgement on each and every individual in its area of effect. By the time of the Fourth Lostbelt, God Arjuna had accelerated the Yuga cycle to happen over a span of ten days. Also, anyone or anything that was erased with Mahapralaya was also erased from the memories of anyone local to the Lostbelt once the new cycle began. I don't think NikNak specified it, but when summoned as Arjuna Alter, the only additional god whose power he retains within himself is Shiva's. Specifically, the monster Arjuna Alter was fighting in the demonstration is Kali (the asura who is the namesake of the Kali Yuga, or at the very least one of a multitude of manifestations of him, not to be confused with Kali the goddess). One of the gameplay gimmicks of Arjuna Alter is that one of his skills gives all of his attacks a huge damage bonus against enemies who are flawed (that is to say, are suffering from a debuff). Mahapralaya inflicts a debuff *before the AoE damage* lands, and it's one that makes the enemy more vulnerable to Buster-type attacks, like Mahapralaya. Oh yeah - I've seen people comment in the past on how Arjuna Alter's pants in his art seem to show a *significant* bulge going on... which only furthered jokes about how the official English release of FGO translates his in-setting epithet as "the Endowed Hero". Curry x Rice came from the doujin-making event that was the third Summer event, and represents one of many possible doujin that the MC can help make. IIRC, there's an off-handed reference to the Baahubali movie duology, in that both the doujin and said movie make use of a scene where warriors bend coconut trees and then release them to catapult themselves up over/onto a fortification. By the way, Benienma was on the left side of the picture of Chaldea Park Caravan, and Rama was one of the figures in Red Box.

The first Pako child and brother to Sana and Karna, Edgy Indian Man. Also, surprisingly, Raikou's half-brother lorewise.

[@ssj5gogeta1310]

45:08 You figure out the gameplay reason for the changes, but as for lore... If I remember correctly, in "Fate/Extella" there was this Phantasm Circuit item. You needed to collect 3 of those in a stage to use the Noble Phantasm. Phantasm Circuit's tutorial screen description mentioned something about forcing an anti-Army setting for NPs (since you mostly fight armies of enemies). In hindsight though, that only really changes the anti-Unit NPs. For example, Cu Chullain's Gae Bolg in Extella goes wild on the whole "branching out into thousands of thorns" thing. Arjuna's Pashupata also is (on a silly technicality) an anti-Unit NP, and although its original depiction would be perfectly serviceable for Extella, it was given a visible change in how it fires off in "Fate/Extella Link"... even though Phantasm Circuits aren't a thing in that one, and you just have a rechargeable NP meter.

22:51 Some Servants are Technically extremly Young like Kiyohime or Irisviel who is I think not much Older than her daughter Illyasviel or Mordred whose age us in the single digits apparently.

[@NoxarBoi]

Irisviel is I believe 9 years old or so by the events of Fate/Zero, while Illya lives to 18 in Fate/Stay Night. Mordred shoud be no more than 10 by the Battle of Camlann.

Arjuna may or may not have a half-sibling not from india in fate lore. I won’t say who as they have not been covered yet. But just know that Indra is known by a different name in Japan. Who also may have had some children there. It’s pretty cool how connections like that can take place in fate.

[@lunerblade13]

46:13 could be worse. If memory serves the berserker from fate zero literally gives us the sword he stole from Gil.

[@blueboy3984]

I actually really like Arjuna, though I get why other people don't. It's also kinda hilarious that his second interlude, which is all about him coming to terms with his own inner evil, can be summarized as "Look, you're kind of an asshole. But that's okay!" In all seriousness though, I might have missed it being said, but Arjuna really does regret killing Karna in such a cowardly manner. It's also fun that, while they hate eachother, Karna actually shows up to help Arjuna work through his issues. Well... it was in a dream so it probably wasn't the actual Karna, but the point stands. Anyway, great video! Also just because Niknak said you'd see that one piece of art later, I'm guessing Karna is next?

[@dakotadoyle7573]

Mana burst is actually a skill a few servants have. Its basically where a servant focuses a large amount of mana into their body/weapon to vastly increase the power of a single attack

[@_zeroman]

Indra isn't actually descended from Dyeus (god of the sky in all its facets), but Perkwunos (god of storms, thunder, etc). Heracles is also descended from Perkwunos but as Zeus is a conflation of Dyeus and Perkwunos, Heracles lost more of his association with the latter. Additionally, the pre-Proto-Indo-European "great mother" theory has little basis since the PIE people invaded an innumerable amount of cultures each with different belief systems, so its really hard to generalize a great mother cult to multiple continents. The great mother idea was primarily espoused by occultists like Aleister Crowley who thought "Human History" (pretty much just western civilization) progressed from a prehistoric "Age of Mothers" to a historic "Age of Fathers" to a present and future "Age of Children"

man... so funny story, Arjuna was actually how I got my first rare prisms; I was rolling for Super Orion, and said "I swear to god, if arjuna spooks me for him, I will burn him"... low and behold, that next roll, I got a certain archer who wasn't who I was rolling for. also, I heard that "nemesis"; do you also watch Pandaredd?

[@scares3859]

You called him a b*tch bcoz he killed karna while he was unarmed and was busy removing his chariot's wheel from mud, but you didn't think of why arjuna had to do that🤨As you have saw his alignments are lawful neutral, therefore he was lawful to lord krishna. Lord Krishna, as one of the reincarnation of god vishnu, he knows how things should go and should be done in this epic. He ordered arjuna to shoot karna on his neck and defeat him, not because it's easier to defeat him then but because it was the perfect moment when and where karna was gonna get released from the curses he had and be done with all his karmic deeds on his shoulders. Still it was against their war rules, which arjuna disobeyed and felt bad about it but it was nothing compared to not accepting the orders of his friend, of lord krishna; who knows what should be done for the betterment in grand scheme of things.

Karna really had to get his armor "stolen" (gave it away knowingly) by Indra and than was shot by a camping loser, smh. As much as the male fan base is criticized for liking a character for looks alone, Arjuna fans definitely only like him for his looks (nothing wrong with that). Dude has one of the most insufferable personality of the demigod servants, at least Gil is straight up with his assholery.

[@t.h.e.animeclub]

That is a mood. The interaction between them in the epic is fascinating

[@rotciv557]

Absolutely disagree, Arjuna is an complete teddy bear towards people that he loves and that includes the Master after his character development. His interactions with everyone else during the Aeaean Breeze event also showed how he tends to act when he isn't all up in his own ass because of Karna or his own insecurities. I went from being dissapointed from being spooked by him to him being one of my favorite Fate Servants precisely due to his personality and growth over the course of FGO.
