Who is saber in fate

She felt it was unrefined, although she was not displeased by it. She does shudder at the thought of eating it compared to Shirou's cooking. She thought it had been made to suit the tastes of the knights because they acknowledged it as tasting good, but they simply were unable to say it was bad to the King's face.

This is due to the fact that she never asked Irisviel about the name of her daughter, and when Saber sees Illya during the war, she completely disregards the possibility that it could be the same child.

She believes that Illya is too young to be the girl she saw getting a piggy-back ride ten years before, and she believes that she would have become more mature like her mother by the time of the Fifth Holy Grail War. She reasons that Illya is a new homunculus completely unrelated to Irisviel with similarities in her appearance due to the Einzbern homunculi looking alike after their creation.

Given a chance to casually interact with her, while she doesn't trust Illya at first, she is eventually able to act nicely around her. She is able to freely have fun around her without any worries. Kiritsugu partners Saber with Irisviel von Einzbern, to act as Saber's Master in the open while he acts from behind to win with his own methods. On the final day of the Holy Grail war, Saber found the Holy Grail but she also meets Gilgamesh who was waiting for her.

He proposes that she becomes his wife while she lays defeated in front of him. Saber refuses as the Holy Grail is just in front of her.

Saber destroyed the Holy Grail in the fourth Holy Grail War because Kiritsugu used multiple command seals in order to force her to act against her will. However, she only managed to destroy the Grail's physical form. She was also caught in her own Excalibur blast, sending her back to the battlefield of Camlann.

She was the sixth and final servant to perish in the fourth Holy Grail War. Her true identity is that of King Arthur aka. Arthur Pendragon Uther's daughter who hid her gender to be accepted as King. She has joined the Holy Grail War in order to grant her wish of redoing the selection of King due to her belief that she failed to keep her country from chaos.

She wields the legendary holy sword Excalibur cloaked in a veil of wind to hide its popular identity and thus its owner's but no longer carries its lost sheath Avalon. She spends most of her time at Shirou's house or wandering Fuyuki, but Rider berates her for it by calling her a freeloader. Saber participates in various activities with the others in the numerous loops; Helping and spending time with Shirou, playing soccer with children, and having a contest between herself, Illya, and Sakura over who's the best little sister.

Avenger is the main source of the endless loops, the loops are based on the Third Holy Grail War so he used the participants of the 5th grail war to recreate the scenes.

In the beginning, Saber greets Shirou when he enters the house after he woke up. Although she admires his work ethic, Saber shows due concern for Shirou's health for sleeping in the shed. After coercing Shirou to sleep in his room from now on, Saber goes with him to have breakfast with the others.

After breakfast Saber discusses the restarted Heaven's Feel with the others, then afterwards decides with Shirou to patrol Fuyuki for any potential threats to their now peaceful lives.

In one loop, Saber is patrolling Fuyuki with Shirou at night, and as they cross the bridge into Shinto, she reminiscenes about the first time she crossed the bridge to Shinto with Shirou and Rin. After expressing her displeasure at the poor disguise Shirou gave her at the time, The pair are suddenly fired upon by Archer. Saber deflects the first shot at Shirou's warning, which shocks he as she should've sensed it first.

Deflecting a couple more shots, Saber reluctantly lets Shirou use his Command Spell to boost her abilities so she can quickly get to and kill Archer before he kills Shirou. After exchanging a few words with Archer before he dies then Shirou, Saber goes home with Shirou.

In another loop, Saber takes a tour of the school, which Taiga helped set up, with Shirou as her guide. Upon entering the school grounds she is almost immediately noticed by the boys in the track team, but Kaede, Kane, and Yukika arrive to drive off the boys.

After conversing with the trio, Saber has lunch at the archery range with Shirou, Sakura, and Ayako, who asks for Saber's help with Cultural Festival.

Continuing the tour, Shirou and Saber run into Kuzuki, who thanks her for helping Caster with her dress-making business. Afterwards, the two arrive at the student council room, where Saber and Issei talk at length as he shares stories about Shirou's school days. At the end of the tour, the pair arrive at Shirou's homeroom, which Saber examines contently. After being asked by Shirou about why she wanted to visit his school, Saber expresses that she wished to see what sort of life Shirou led at school.

She becomes overjoyed when Shirou suggests that she transfer to his school, which he affirms as something that both Rin and Taiga would help with. Walking home, Saber tells Shirou that she is proud that he is ending the restarted war, for he sees the value of what is gone. Continuing saying that she'll protect him until the end, Saber tells Shirou not to be sad and that no matter the end, it will not be farewell for them as they'll arrive at the future they desire.

In another loop, Saber goes to the church with Shirou, where they encounter Bazett and Avenger. Though disturbed by Avenger's very existence, Saber fights him defensively to get a feel for his wild fighting style. She then breaks his blades with ease and deals what should be a fatal blow.

However, Saber then feels the pain of Avenger's wound due to his use of Verg Avesta , but she able to resist it. Wishing to end the fight, Saber, with Shirou's permission, uses Excalibur against Bazett and Avenger. Unfortunately though, Bazett's Fragarach reverts Excalibur and kills Saber. In another loop, Saber decides to stay home instead of going to Ryuudou Temple with Shirou and the others to prepare for the cultural festival due to believing she would be unhelpful, despite Shirou's insistence otherwise.

Eventually though she does come to the temple, much to Shirou's delight, along with Rin, Archer, and Lancer. Saber then participates in the play rehearsal for the festival, afterwards she celebrates with everyone before leaving with the other Servants. She stands as the last defense against the shades, having enveloped the entire Central Building in Invisible Air to bar any entry except through the front door, which she now guards.

Saber warns the monsters of their impending demise, then, after recalling visting Shirou's school, she obliterates them all with Excalibur. In her Eclipse scenario Golden bathtub Saber arrives into the bathroom completely naked, while Shirou is bathing. She join in the bath and express her intention to repay everything nice that Shirou did for her until now.

After little temptation they have passionate sex. Saber is summoned by Shirou, and she explains the nature of the Holy Grail War. He, having nothing to wish for, finds it meaningless, and he only wishes to stop the other Masters. Saber is confused, but offers not objections to his goal. She briefly explains her own goal of selecting a new king to replace her, not caring about her own fate afterward. Shirou cannot believe such a wish is correct, but she rebukes him by saying only the Holy Grail can decide upon the worthiness of the wish.

She eventually encounters Berserker, and Ilya, having knowledge of Saber's wish, says that it is not bad to cling to impossible wishes, but questions if her wish is actually just.

Saber simply believes that the result of the War will decided if it is just. Ilya calls her goals purely selfish in nature, citing that the justness she had protected all that time made the world as it is in its current state. Telling Saber that there is nothing in her past to be ashamed of as Shirou has said many times, that she lived it the best way possible, Saber cuts her off and challenges them to battle.

Saber emerges victorious, she contemplates Ilya and Shirou's words, wondering about if that which she seeks is truly just. She later encounters Gilgamesh, claiming that he will give her the Holy Grail and her miracle by becoming his queen. She no longer needs the Holy Grail, and her wish now has nothing to do with it.

Rejecting his offer, she has only come to defeat him, citing that Shirou risked everything to teach her that she did the best with her life.

He also taught her to destroy the Holy Grail, as people do not require magic to make their dreams come true. Gilgamesh pledges to cleanse her of such simple views, and the two engage in battle. After destroying the Holy Grail, she will no longer be a Heroic Spirit.

Believing there was no such reason to have done so in the first place, she ruminates on not seeing the simple fact that she stood by her country while her countrymen did not stand by her. She begins to fade without the blessing of the Grail, finally returning to the hill. She tell Shirou that she is grateful and that she cares for him deeply. Though her country was far from a utopia and that she could not save everyone, he told her to be proud of her accomplishments.

She decides to move on from the hill with those words in her heart, bidding him farewell and hoping that his dreams will come true. Her role is very similar to Fate route in Shirou's story, Saber and Shirou discuss about their situation together. Shirou understands that he became Saber's Master, he explains to her that he has no use with the Holy Grail and his only wish was to keep innocent people from getting caught up in the war.

Saber finds his plan honorable and follows his orders. In Shirou's ending, Saber destroyed the Holy Grail and fades away. In Gilgamesh's ending, Saber is slowly corrupted by the Holy Grail blackened mud when Gilgamesh forces her to submit to him. Artoria appears under the name Uesugi Artoria. She appears after Ritsuka's party defeated Takeda Darius and Sanada Medusa , the former of whom is her rival. Okita Souji informs her that Takeda was just killed, disappointing Artoria that she wasted a journey from Kasugayama since she planned to gorge herself on Kai's food.

She then decides to attack the group for their rations. She is defeated and complains she only lost because she only had three bowls of rice this morning. Before disappearing, she asks if her shadow is getting thinner. Unfortunately, Artoria and Irisviel arrive there to find Ritsuka's party instead. Later, Artoria confronts the group after Mash establishes a summoning circle near the Fuyuki River. She challenges them to a fair fight, which El-Melloi II is unconvinced of due to his knowledge of her serving as a decoy while Kiritsugu ambushes the enemy.

She and Irisviel then learn that the group only wishes to keep her safe to achieve their goal, which El-Melloi II doesn't divulge. She also recognizes Mash's true identity but decides not to divulge it, believing Mash should discover it on her own. With the group having saved Irisviel, Artoria is convinced they aren't enemies. Artoria encounters the group again when they invade her discussion with Iskandar and Gilgamesh to kill Gigamesh with Lancelot's help.

The group helps her fight Lancelot, but Iskandar soon stops the fight. He warns her and Diarmuid who joined the group earlier that they'll be his enemies if they ally with El-Melloi II, whom he now considers an enemy, before leaving. They further learn that the activation of the Greater Grail will end the world and that the Einzbern's highly certain victory in this 4th Grail War prompted the Counter Force's activation.

However, the plan was changed to destroying the Grail directly with the failure to recruit Iskandar. After defeating Hassan of the Hundred Faces [38] , the group moves on to Grail's chamber, where they defeat Iskandar.

Zouken uses Irisviel's magical energy to hasten the process. She then goes to devour the group, saying five Heroic Spirits aren't enough to fill her. Artoria and Diarmuid hold her off while the others escape. Unfortunately, she and Diarmuid struggle against Black Iri, but thankfully the others return to assist. She recognizes Waver Velvet who joined the group has become a Servant, which unbeknownst to her resulted from becoming Zhuge Liang's temporary vessel.

After the group destroys Black Iri, Artoria bids the others farewell, glad the battle ended well before disappearing due to the Grail's destruction. The group arrives on an unknown island unable to contact Chaldea. Artoria assures it isn't Britain due to the tropical plants. She reconfirms this to Mordred while the others discuss the same subject.

The next day, the group learns from a near-dead Blackbeard who was convinced earlier by Mary Read to observe the island that their location is still unknown, and it's nearly impossible to leave with a normal ship.

After he disappears, Artoria suggests leaving the island to try and re-establish contact with Chaldea. When monsters arrive and Mordred complains about how it's in her armor, Artoria reprimands her for wearing heavy armor to intimidate her opponents.

She tells her to change into armor suiting her frame though it won't bring her reputation as a knight above negative.

Artoria decides she needs a weapon appropriate for her swimsuit and pulls out a water pistol she still had from Waku Waku. Later, the group discusses what their first task of island life should be when a storm suddenly rolls in.

They enter a small cave spotted by Mordred to escape the rain, but they run out due to a massive swarm of bugs. Out of concern for Ritsuka, the group decides they need to build a cabin to take shelter in. When Tamamo-no-Mae and Kiyohime suggest building a wooden cabin, Artoria accidentally insults them by comparing their suggestion to a stable. Apologizing for her unintended insult, she suggests a stone cabin for stability and defense.

If the stone cabin is built, Artoria tells Ritsuka they may someday build a castle rivaling Camelot. She begins telling of Camelot's past before it was her castle, but stops herself, believing it to be inappropriate given their situation. She then takes back her comparison to Camelot from earlier as the island isn't Britain and Ritsuka isn't King Arthur. She assures Ritsuka that if they build a castle on the island, it will be proud and noble like them.

Next, the group decides to build a water supply to preserve any freshwater they collect. Artoria is surprised when Anne Bonny recalls a rumor of there being faucets that produce orange juice or udon broth. If the faucet is built, Artoria decides to confirm the rumor Anne mentioned, becoming overly excited about Udon Daishi.

Familiar with udon, she praises it as the epitome of exquisite yet simple-looking cuisine. She then decides to check if the faucet produces udon broth. But she is disappointed upon realizing Ritsuka tricked her. Calling hunting a knight's hobby, she says it'd be perfect if her horses, Llamrei and Dun Stallio, and her dog, Cavall, were with her.

Artoria tries to use Excalibur to get it until Ritsuka stops her. Artoria recalls Agravain praising the aforementioned method when they hunted together, but questions if he was lying to her. Banning the use of Noble Phantasms, the group proceeds to hunt, with Artoria catching several birds and rabbits. After slaying the wyverns that appeared, the group return to the beach to barbecue and eat the meat they've gathered; Artoria considers barbecue to be a sloppy cooking method though.

Tired of barbecue, the group decide to build a proper cooking facility. Artoria compares the choice of what cooking facility to make to choosing what troop gets reinforcements, where two will be sacrificed if one is chosen. She claims she'll have to make the choice, but Mash corrects her that Ritsuka will do so. As well, she remains indecisive between the choices of the hearth, pizza oven, and a big cauldron as she finds the respective food options to be all delicious.

Either way, she supports whatever choice is made and eats with Ritsuka, Mash, and the choice's respective requester. Next, the group decides to build a bathing facility. Artoria requests they build a proper bathing facility, which Marth agrees with. If her request is chosen, she and Martha test the bath. Martha asks her why she requested a Japanese-style bath even though she's the king of Britain. Artoria answers that bathing in it gives her vague flashbacks from when she was a main heroine.

Feeling she was meant to be in the bath, she suddenly imagines Medusa bathing in it. Later, the group decides to cultivate a vegetable fieldd. Her competitive nature gets the better of her though, and she destroys the watermelon's surroundings after splitting it with her Mana Burst.

After cultivating a grain field, the group builds a ranch to raise livestock. If a cattle ranch is built, Artoria smacks Mordred for trying to steal her meat while it's cooking, saying Mordred does her usurper name justice.

Unfortunately, they find Fionn and Diarmuid, who served as lookouts the previous night, fatally wounded. Fionn quickly dies, but Artoria gets Diarmuid to reveal their attacker to be a boar. After he disappears, she spots a boar piglet. Marie defends the piglet, but Artoria tells her they've no choice but to suspect it given the current evidence, and not to be fooled by appearance.

She warns her to be beware of a boar's charge when Marie tries to feed the piglet some nuts. She says the group should surround the piglet and finish it off. But the piglet flees when monsters appear. After the monsters are slain, Artoria has the group split up and search the island for the piglet. Later that night, they reconvene at their crops joined by Tamamo, Martha, Anne, and Mary.

The group finds the piglet along with two others trying to protect from the crops for a demon boar appears. Realizing it to be the true culprit, the group fights the demon boar. Artoria finishes it off, but she hears it say " Arthur " before dying to her surprise. She then apologizes to Marie for not believing in her that the boar piglet was innocent. She praises the piglet for its bravery against the demon boar despite its small size.

Unfortunately, though, she causes the piglet to run away when she mentions how looking at it makes her hungry, which Marie reprimands her for. Artoria warns more demon boars may be encountered given the island's size. The next day, Artoria proposes the group build a new pathway to help improve their efficiency in procuring materials. She disagrees with Tamamo's proposal for a wooden path, proposing a cobblestone path instead. If the cobblestone path is built, Artoria praises the roads in Camelot while admitting the roads in Rome are also nice.

She believes Nero Claudius and Gaius Julius Caesar would do the same, though neither can be better than the other regardless of national pride. She then becomes somber when she states how patriotism clashing can cause not easy to resolve situations.

Deciding to return to camp, she mentions how stone roads remind her of knights returning home on their horses.

Later, the group build an aqueduct to improve their efficiency in storing water. If Marie's request for a stone aqueduct is built, Artoria notes how it has a roman design to it when Mash compares it to Pont du Gard. She tells Ritsuka she respects other cultures, but advises against favoring a specific culture as unnecessary friction may raise between their Servants of differing cultures.

When she thinks Ritsuka isn't listening to advice, she wonders if she should ask for something British to be built. Next, the group decides to build a bridge to make traveling easier for Ritsuka. Though she admits Japanese Bridges are beautiful, Artoria believes they'd be fragile and proposes building a drawbridge with a stone gate for defense. If the drawbridge is built, Artoria recalls how she and her army destroyed many a bridge repelling her kingdom's enemies only to rebuild them again.

So she is glad that the drawbridge removes that problem. But as she admires the bridge's beauty, Mordred scratches it with Prydwen. Angered at her for scratching the bridge and not admitting fault, Artoria asks Ritsuka for permission to release Excalibur , comparing Mordred to driftwood. Ater making a garden, the group decides to build a recreational facility. Stating how sports can have a positive impact on both mind and body, Artoria proposes building an athletic field given her experience in sports.

If the athletic field is built, she plays a one-on-three game of soccer against Ritsuka, Mash, and Cath Palug. Mash asks her if she always liked soccer, to which Artoria answers she hasn't. She feels she must have practiced somewhere before, yet she cannot remember anything else.

Then, seeing Mordred bouncing a ball against a wall by herself, she compares her to a child practicing alone in silence in hopes of making it into the majors one day.

Somewhat reluctantly she allows Mordred to join Ritsuka's teams, telling her not to hold back. Later, after building a tower to overlook the island, the group decide to expand their cabin.

Artoria agrees with Marie's request for a castle. If the castle is built, Artoria notes how it's a small yet good castle. She agrees with Marie's assessment that a smaller castle can strengthen the bonds with the people. She then calls Ritsuka the king, and herself and the others, their knights.

If the samurai residence is built, Artoria finds it nostalgic and soothing, and she suggests filling the storage shed with broken junk to make it more soothing in reference to the Emiya Residence. The group later decides to build a statue, though Artoria doesn't see the point of it.

However, as they prepare to build it, a giant demon boar appears. The giant demon boar retreats, only for it to return once the escape ship is nearly complete despite its wounds. As the group prepares to fight it to protect the piglets, Artoria asks herself how can she be a king if she doesn't fight for the people.

However, the giant demon boar's stamina proves to be tremendous, and it charges at the ship to destroy it. The group makes it to the ship thanks to the boar piglets protecting it. After defeating the giant demon boar, the group and the men board the ship and set sail, with plenty of food personally procured by Artoria.

The group eventually makes landfall on a desolate wasteland. Artoria is depressed by the complete lack of food, but she is more concerned about Ritsuka dying of malnourishment. The group then hears a cry for help, which to their surprise is coming from a boar piglet.

They defeat the Shadow Servant chasing the piglet, showing itself to be a demon boar in disguised. The piglet calls the group goddesses and asks them to save this world. The piglet leads the group to city ruins, where they meet the boar piglet chief.

Hearing of their circumstance, the chief thanks the group for saving his grandchild. He tells them the buildings were from advanced civilization built by the piglets.

Unfortunately, it ended when the demon boars and Shadow Servants arrived fifty years ago. The chief recounts a legend in his clan about nine goddesses called the Nine Sisters who gave the piglets civilization. When the chief's description of a tenth goddess who eats boar piglets matches Tamamo, Artoria tries to comfort her by saying her being summoned as a Servant is proof she changed her ways.

She then calls Tamamo her comrade regardless of how many piglets she may have eaten while also wondering if the boar piglets were delicious. As the group starts to rebuild the boar piglet's civilization, Artoria helps in constructing a restaurant. While concerned by the piglet's suggestion of hamburger, beef bowl, or kebab shop, she wonders where the meat will come from.

Eventually, she and the others learn from the search party that they're on the island as before years later. The group realizes they are the Nine Sisters. They also decide they need to discover why the island's space-time is distorted as they continue to redevelop the island and make contact with Chaldea. Later, they learn Beowulf is on the island as an enemy. Artoria calls Mordred a thug when she calls Beowulf a thug. Marie later invites her to the piglet's concert.

She readily accepts it, but she'll be late because her building is still under construction. She finds it cute how nervous the piglets are about performing before a crowd. The group later builds a bridge. After more buildings are reconstructed, the chief tells the group of a Caster who gave the piglets electricity a hundred years ago.

As they search, Artoria wonders if the Caster could've survived for more than a century. She simply follows Sakura's orders without any deviation, so she will only attack when she is ordered. She does get angry when Shirou isn't putting his all into fighting her, going as far to ask if that is all she meant to him.

She is pleased with his victory over her in Sparks Liner High , even urging him to kill her before she can regenerate, but quickly falls back into her apathetic state upon seeing the result of the battle on him. She simply states it is her victory, and compares him to all of her other enemies who had risked their lives and died meaninglessly. She is mostly emotionless, but also selfish and even more gluttonous than normal.

Her taste for food changes completely, preferring fast food to the food she prefers normally. Kiritsugu was recruited by Jubstacheit and given Avalon , excavated from Cornwall, to summon the legendary King Arthur. While surprised that she is a young woman, it doesn't change anything about his plans. He partners Saber with his wife and vessel for the Lesser Grail , Irisviel von Einzbern , to act as Saber's Master in the open while he acts from behind to win with his own methods.

Saber is unaware of Avalon, and it is given to Irisviel without her knowledge. Saber and Irisviel arrive together in Fuyuki by plane from the Einzbern Castle in northern Europe because Saber cannot dematerialize due to her unique status. Kiritsugu travels separately from them and meets up with his protege, Maiya Hisau. Following the challenge of another Servant, they quickly encounter their first opponent that night. Saber engages Lancer , and despite a mostly even fight, she is left with a wound from Gae Buidhe to her left hand that prevents her from utilizing her full strength and Excalibur.

Their fight is interrupted by the Rider , who declares the supremacy of his kingship and an invitation to join his army, but Saber claims her own kingship as a reason to never bow before another lord. The arrival of Archer , who claims that his own rule far exceeds their own, and Berserker , who takes an interest in Saber after battling Archer, confuses the situation even more.

After Lancer is forced to battle alongside Berserker to kill Saber through a Command Spell, Rider interrupts that fight so that she and Lancer may properly finish their duel at a later time. All of the Servants then retreat for the night without any further battle. Saber and Irisviel encounter the deranged Caster on their way to Fuyuki's Einzbern Castle, and he mistakes her for Joan of Arc due to a slight resemblance in their appearances.

While she manages to drive him off, she in unable to convince him of his mistake and he promises to save her soul from the curse of God.

After Kiritsugu attempts to kill Lancer's Master, Kayneth Archibald El-Melloi , to remove the handicap caused by the wound left from Lancer, both he and Caster plan separate attacks on the Einzbern Castle. Saber, while discussing strategies with Kiritsugu and Irisviel, starts to become disgusted with Kiritsugu's attitude toward the Holy Grail War, such as his action of attacking Kayneth when she already has a planned duel with Lancer and avoiding Caster so another Servant can kill him instead.

Caster shows up soon after, and he taunts Saber by slaughtering a number of children. Saber quickly goes to meet Caster in battle, and she finds that she cannot overcome his Noble Phantasm, Prelati's Spellbook , without the use of her hand.

While she slaughters a multitude of his monsters, she is unable to close the gap on him at all. She is eventually met by Lancer, Kayneth having sent him to deal with Saber while he deals with Kiritsugu, and he decides to help her out of the honor of their promised duel. Acting as her "left hand", they eventually manage to drive Caster back using Invisible Air to create a slip stream for Lancer to make a direct charge through the horde. After Caster flees, Lancer senses that Kayneth in danger after his lose to Kiritsugu, and Saber lets him leave due to their chivalry.

After the battle, Saber saves Irisviel by inadvertently providing Avalon with energy after she had received a fatal wound from Kirei Kotomine. Kiritsugu goes out on his own after everything settles down, leaving Irisviel and Saber alone in the castle. Their peace is quickly interrupted once again by the arrival of Rider on Gordius Wheel , who, rather than fighting, proposes a "battle without bloodshed", one of words between kings, to see who is suitable of obtaining the Holy Grail.

Battling with wine, they, and Archer who Rider invited while on his way to the castle, discuss their methods of ruling and kingship. In the King's meeting, Saber expressed that she wanted the Holy Grail to change the history of her country's destruction.

On the final day of the Holy Grail war, Saber encountered Berserker and fought against him. She realize that Berserker knows Saber's identity from their previous lives after catching Excalibur despite its invisibility.

Saber demanded Berserker to reveal himself, Berserker answered by drawing Arondight and canceling his black fog. Saber was devastated as she learns Berserker's identity was her trusted friend Sir Lancelot. Rider's words haunt Saber as Berserker attacks Saber, causing her to believe that Lancelot's hatred towards her has driven him into madness.

As Kariya ran out of prana, Berserker stopped his attack and Saber used this opportunity to stab him. Saber apologizes as she desires the Holy grail to change the past including Lancelot part. Berserker regained his sanity as his contract with Kariya ended, he wanted Saber to punish him because he was unable to forgive himself for falling in love with the Queen. As he fades away, Saber wanted to say that he was a loyal knight but could not find the right words.

He felt that Saber was the greatest amongst king for those who served her. After Berserker's defeat, she is determined to win the Holy Grail so she can save her people and Lancelot.

Saber found the Holy Grail but she also meets Gilgamesh who was waiting for her. He proposes that she becomes his wife and easily incapacitates her.

Saber refuses as the Holy Grail is just in front of her. Kiritsugu arrives at this time and Saber begs her for the power of the command seal in order to defeat Gilgamesh and claim the Holy Grail. Much to her despair, Kiritsugu uses his last two command seals for her to destroy the Grail. Excalibur is used to destroy the vessel of the Holy Grail, but its contents spill out onto the earth, razing the land permanently and killing almost everyone caught in its mud.

With the Grail gone and unable to maintain her form, Saber is sent back to the battlefield of Camlann, as she remembers the words of Lancelot and Rider. She was the sixth and final servant to perish in the fourth Holy Grail War. He had been having dreams of Excalibur in the days leading up to the start of the Holy Grail War after receiving his Command Spells due to the Grail having decided that Saber would be summoned.

With both the catalyst, Avalon inside Shirou, and the circle, the summoning is complete. After Saber quickly commences with the formalities of finalizing their contract, she engages Lancer.

She manages to keep the upper hand with Invisible Air until he utilizes Gae Bolg. She is saved due to her luck, allowing her to survive with a large wound and figure out his identity. He withdraws afterward due to orders from his Master, and Saber heals herself to the best of her ability with the lance's curse affecting the wound. Upon sensing more enemies, Rin and Archer , she quickly goes to engage them.

At this point, the game splits into three routes, depending on previously cleared routes. In the Fate scenario, she is the main heroine and the love interest for Shirou.

With their contract, they share. Saber learns through them that Shirou is the adoptive son of Kiritsugu and his personality changed from the time she fought for him.

It is eventually revealed that in the end of the Fourth Grail War, Saber only managed to destroy the physical form of the Grail. Saber still had the view that Kiritsugu was a cold and selfish person regardless of anything and that concept of him only worsened after he forced her to destroy the Grail without thinking about it.

However, her opinion changes after realizing that after the fire Kiritsugu saved Shirou and taught him his philosophies and ideals. Shirou convinces Saber that she should accept her life for what it is rather than wishing to change her life. Saber realizes that changing her fate is a cowardly wish unlike Shirou, who was brave to keep going after being on the verge of death.

She decides to accept her past and move on and with the help of Shirou, she fights to destroy the Grail. She used Excalibur to destroy the Holy Grail and its contents.

After the destruction of the Holy Grail, Saber professes her love for Shirou and they bid farewell to each other. Saber vanishes to her original time, she finally accepts her past without the wish to change it thus breaking the contract with the world. She weakly smiles and tells Sir Bedivere:. After her death, she goes to Avalon rather than being removed from the cycle of transmigration to be placed on the Throne of Heroes like other Heroic Spirits. In Realta Nua , if the player completes all three routes they will gain the last episode.

In the last episode Shirou reunites with Saber in Avalon. It is stated that the last episode is the true ending of the Fate route. In Unlimited Blade Works route, she has a smaller role. Caster captured Taiga as a hostage and used her Rule Breaker to steal the contract between Saber and Shirou.

Saber initially shows resistance to Caster's torture and control until she submitted to her. After Archer killed Caster and Kuzuki Souichirou , Archer claims he planned all this so he can be free to kill Shirou. This prompts Rin to form a contract with Saber to protect Shirou from Archer.

Saber uses Excalibur to destroy the deformed Grail after Rin rescued Shinji. Saber Alter is later defeated and killed by Shirou with assistance from Rider. Shirou kills Saber Alter with the Dagger of Azoth, releasing her from her wretched existence. There is also a simple ending titled Sparks Liner High that occurs when Shirou is unable to form a pact with.

Saber Alter killed by Shirou Emiya. In this bad ending, Shirou unleashes the true power of Kanshou and Bakuya and wins the one-on-one duel with Saber Alter, but this causes him to have a mental breakdown and become catatonic. Saber survives Shirou's final attack, but is grievously wounded to the point that even her advanced healing will take a crucial ten minutes before she can assist Sakura against Rin, thus leaving the outcome of their fight unknown. The manga adaptation of the visual novel follows the Fate route with a mixture of events from Unlimited Blade Works.

It follows the events of Fate normally until the defeat of Rider. Instead of Shirou being immediately kidnapped by Ilya while Saber is weakened, Saber manages to recover somewhat from her use of Excalibur before the Emiya household is assaulted by Caster. She initially shows resistance to Caster's torture and control, but eventually succumbs to it and falls completely under her control.

She is used to battle against Archer while Rin attempts to reach Kuzuki, and she is able to overwhelm him until she temporarily retreats upon Archer starting to unleash Unlimited Blade Works.

Saber believes that as a king who believed in the ideals of her people and then sacrificed herself for those ideas is in the best position to truly understand despair.

She decides to make her sword Sakura's own in order to sow the hopelessness she desires. She eventually encounters Shirou, telling him that she will destroy all who pass.
