To get around that, Kinoko Nasu devised a peculiar twist to his own Arthurian legend. In a business perspective, it just catches more fish. Because in the world of manga and anime, along with their hikikomori and otaku inhabitants, the female lead should be young and pure. I could see the idea of having the protagonist's waifu (also the fantasy of the viewers) being pregnant and having a kid would pose a problem, even if it was on her past life. So wait, what? How the heck did that happen? What shocked me was that she, Arturia, being female and having girl parts, was the one who literally fathered him! Or her. Yes, she had a rebel son who is part of the Round Table, Mordred, yada yada. Whilst trapped in a black hole reading deep within the uncharted territories of Type-Moon’s Wikia, I came across some interesting stuff regarding Arturia and her life when she was still alive as King.

So what are those origin details of Arturia and Mordred that pretty much avoided much of the Fate consumables? Well, what do you know- we have surprising news! They just worked the other details after the fact. That, or maybe they just wanted to make things simpler and not explain to people the intricate changes made after they gender-swapped King Arthur to be a beautiful and capable chick hot enough to be an anime protagonist's waifu.Ĭurious about the gender change? Arthur really did start as a dude paired with a female protagonist in the author's original concept (which you can now see in the anime special Fate/Prototype), but they realized that having a male protagonist with a female lead had much more potential to sell.Īnd so, voila! Make the protagonist a guy and turn his partner, Arthur, to Arturia.

Though we have FGo and its upcoming Camelot movie soon!

First, let's get on the same page- Saber's past doesn't get much spotlight in the anime as the writer probably assumed that people know about King Arthur’s legend already.
