Takasugi Shinsaku: Behind The Servants

[@V-Oblivion]

If I had a nickel for every time a formidable and promising samurai's life ended due to tuberculosis, I would have two nickels. ... which isn't much but it's weird that it happened twice

[@enricorosina852]

Fun fact: Shinsaku can now be added to the list of Servants that are impossible to win a Holy Grail War with, because he's got Weak Constitution just like Okita.

[@TOMEYEARSAGO]

With plot armour anything is possible

[@enricorosina852]

@@TOMEYEARSAGO Yeah, in hindsight, that's true.

[@wat5058]

I mean, WC doesn’t make it impossible, just…far more involved.

@@enricorosina852 I mean, if we're gonna do the long spiel... Weakness Constitution is basically "At any random second, you'll suffer a stat penalty"--one that's a GIANT stat drop if you were in combat at the time. It's not permanent, mind you, but odds are you'll need to get out of combat for a considerable amount of time before it stops being an issue. Thankfully, servants that get it are usually pretty formidable when the skill ISN'T holding them back, but it's effectively like having a sword that's got a random chance of breaking at any moment. So it's not IMPOSSIBLE to win a holy grail war when you've got a servant with it, but it's certainly a lot harder. You need an escape route for every fight, the master needs to be capable enough to hold their own temporarily if they have to, and to be lucky enough to not have it activate like...immediately (ambushes, in particular, are extremely dangerous). So it's difficult to win a Grail War with them, but not theoretically impossible...though you DO have to approach combat with more of an assassin-like mindset than a typical saber/archer pair would need to. You just...need a decent amount of luck, lots of strategizing, and to probably to be at least above-average as far as masters go in the combat department...

3:20 dang Klidge sure got some historically accurate live footage there 😆

[@THEBULLETPROOFKINGDOM]

So that explains his Modernization Plans back in the GudaGuda Saitama Event....that and him being a CEO in Chaldea Boys Collection 2023 (JP).

[@Lexadin]

I really wish I could say more, but I just like hearing about these historical figures that I've never heard about.

[@HitsujiMamoru]

From what I gathered here, the key element of Shinsaku's nature is adaptability and improvement. And based on what happened in GG6, that's exactly what his Servant incarnation is about. He may not be a must-have for me, but there's no doubt Bakumatsu era is stacked with tempting cool historical figures...

[@Yaboyazrael]

So if it wasn't for him we wouldn't have FGO?

[@cupdrinker678]

Fun fact: Takasugi is the best villain anime

[@desmondmalone438]

More I hear you talk about the more I see parallel to Shinsuke in Gintama wow that the one thing that missing is that Gintoki it the one made that can stop him

[@hadimustafa3378]

Katsura Kogoro also played a part in the meiji restoration and was also a believer of the sou no joui movement

[@desmondmalone438]

Joi no Joy lol

[@pikaszablak7933]

We need him as a servant too.

[@thepronoob4039]

Praying for them to add Katsura Kogoro so we can recreate Gintama's Joi 4 with their historical counterparts.

[@DoumanEnjoyer]

Goat man being lightning quick on this one Much appreciated👍✨

[@myliege8197]

Zura janai, Katsura da.

Ore wa tada... kono kusatta sekai wo kowasu dake da

[@icdeadpipol]

Gintama collaboration when? 🤣

[@desmondmalone438]

6:20 the man who wanted to destroy the world

[@lookingforlove839]

Are they releasing the beefcake assassin? I don't think there is a single assassin that is buffed like him

[@blurb9319]

Gramps was probably born as an absolute unit, but he purposefully maimed himself to make his body perfect for assassination.

[@lookingforlove839]

​@@blurb9319 the guy is huge. The scary aspect of him is that, despite being a mountain of a man, he can easily sneak up on you. Imagine you blinking and seeing this guy right in front of you?

[@giladmachluf3663]

Bro he ain’t even out yet

[@pranavshinde4472]

Not related to video a question here klidge:Spoilers ahead for singularity 5 When cu and scathach clasged they're gae bolg's they're property of hitting the target no matter what comes acted as a double edge sword and deflected the strike so why didn't archer used the same in ubw in his fight against lancer as tracing weapons is even much cheaper than shields.I'm also aware of the fact that It's the heroic spirit welding the weapon he used is stronger than someone who has used nothing but still I can't understand about archer,I know it was plot related but still as with fgo we know,that there are multiple timelines so what would think would have happened if he traced gae bolg back then as ubw can trace a weapons abilities to its finest details and properties including Excalibur and Avalon but excluding divine constructs.so what could have happened if in this event I mentioned

[@enderlordxd6431]

6:47 lol, lmao even
