Leave a comment

This Saturday post is the weekly Type-Moon news in addition to the regular APB post on Sunday. If you have any suggestions for what to highlight on the Type-Moon Weekly News Roundup drop me a line via email or Twitter.

  • Comming to America
    The 5th chapter of Fate/Grand Order has its own commercial filled with new servants as well as variations on existing servants. We finally get the mysterious pink haired servant and the Internet can have that Telsa vs. Edison fight it has always wanted.
  • Third Time the Charm
    Fate/kaleid liner Prisma Illya 3rei gets a commercial for the 4th season coming in the summer.
  • Classic Winter Coat Illya
    The Fate/kaleid liner Prisma Illya anime website also got a make over in preparation for 3rei.
  • Nero The Boxer
    A little more about the main heroines of Fate/Extella as well as a sneak peek at the Form Change mechanic.
  • Wait and Hope
    Everyone wanted some of the new Avenger, Edmond Dantès.
  • Discernment of the Poor 
    A new set of missions give a little boost to some of the lower tier Servants in Fate/Grand Order.
  • This Came Out on Sunday Because of Anime Japan 2016
    I knew there were going to be some big announcements so I figured it would be better to just wait and post this article on Sunday. Seeing how big the announcements were it was worth it.

    • Last Encore: Fate/Extra is getting an anime with Nero as the main Servant. There were some distinctly salty Tamamo no Mae fans but they have to wait for the Fate/Extra CCC Fox Tail anime.
    • Heaven’s Feel: Heaven’s Feel will be 3 movies coming out in 2017 and will be directed by Tomonori Sudou.
    • More Extella: There was also a bit of new Fate/Extella info.
    • The Tie In: Grand Order has new Craft Essences to celebrate these new projects.

Mysterious Heroine X Assassination Note: How Many Sabers Are There? (Update #4)

6 Comments

hisui_icon_4040 I decided to finally do it. I would try to catalog all the various Saber variants there are. The fact that there are more and more variants of Artoria Pendragon has gone from a few different versions of the main heroine to a running joke that has had an official term for characters who look like Artoria: Saberface. In Fate/Grand Order there are units whose whole gimmick revolves around doing more damage to Saberfaced characters, certain characters will target Saberfaced characters, and there was even a whole event centered around Saberfaces.

All of this attention is clearly because Saber is a popular character but it has also engendered an equal amount of resentment for all the focus the Saberfaces have gotten. As a major aficionado of Saber, I decided to catalog how many Sabers there are. I went to all the different version of Sabers as well as the different costumes those characters have.

As always a few caveats on any list I make:

1. I am pretty much purposely invoking Cunningham’s Law here. I am almost surely missing an official iteration or two. I plan to update this list whenever I get the chance so new additions are always welcome.

2. I realize some of these are the same character in different outfits. The main thing is that over time some iterations of Saber in costume have become characters in their own right. Lily Saber and Saber Bride are 100% this case in action. Therefore I have just decided to make all different versions their own thing but readily admit that this list could easily be condensed.

Let’s see how bad this really is.
