2025-07-24 09:38:14 +0000 UTCWhat you must come to undersrand was that this single and solitary attack he had called upon Vasavi Shakti (Oh Sun Abide to Death) was the very will of Karna himself, his heart and spirit channeling the might and force of what amounted to a finely condensed miniature Supernova that would eradicate but a single target. It wasnt a technique to use lightly or call upon for meager battle, it was a spell that was created by Karna in order to challenge the very gods themselves and if need-destroy them entirely. Indra was the King of Gods. Him giving up his most prized weapon to Karna for his generosity made it so in tune with Surya's (Karna Father) blood it granted the might of all heaven upon Karna. Even as powerful as Indra was as King of the Indian Pantheon Gods, he was never able t9 master the spears unlimited power. Karna was able to bring out around 25% of this potential, more than TRIPLE the amount that Indra could command but was unable to ise it. Now, the spear is capable of selecting targets based on its masters desire. So it can destroy a world. A universe. Or a single person or even insect if Karna so chose to. It truly is a unique weapon all its own.

2024-07-26 19:32:01 +0000 UTCYeah basically. His mom helped a deity and in turn, this deity foresees that she will be married to an infertile king. In order for her to have her own kids and not be blamed for infertility, she was gifted with the spell to be pregnant with Gods' children. She decided to have a try shortly afterwards and gave birth to Karna. But virginity was a huge thing in myths and it would be a great sin and disgrace to have kids before marriage. So she packed Karna into a basket and sent him down the river. Later, when she was married to the king, she had another 5 children, each being the son of a different god. Arjuna is one of them and thus half-brother to Karna. Karna was eventually picked up and adopted by a peasant. He spent most of his life in the lowest social class in India, from which originated his skill in Fate called 'Discernment of the poor', giving him the ability to discern people's true intentions, attributes and personalities given he spent much time observing the general public at the bottom of the social ladder. So in Fate, Karna is a person who is incredibly honest with not just himself but also with others. He hides nothing, treats everyone equally and accepts everything as it is. He isn't afraid to speak up for his opinions and suggestions to others, with good intentions to offer help or advice and he doesn't shy away from giving his compliments. Though sometimes he will come across as harsh or too straightforward, that is actually him being honest and caring. Truly one of the best personalities I have seen in anime. If you want to know more, I strongly recommend you to check out his story in Fate/Extra CCC with his master Jinako, both of whom ended up later in the F/GO India lostbelt chapter. Incredibly heartwarming.

2024-06-22 20:58:09 +0000 UTCThis is so interesting and cool! But how was Karna born as a mistake when his mom was granted a wish? Was it because she gave it a try before marriage?

2024-06-22 19:21:34 +0000 UTCHey man, I am glad you are watching more TM stuff. Always been a big fan. Since I saw no one has mentioned this and it looks like you like Karna a lot (same here), I will quickly go through the two of the Noble Phantasms of him. They are tied to one another. Karna was born due to an accident. His mom was basically granted a spell to be pregnant with a deity's child. Before she was married, she decided to give it a try and the Sun God Surya gave him Karna. With him came the golden armour which was engraved onto his skin. This is referred to in Fate as 'Kavacha and Kundala', which permanently reduces the damage done to Karna to 1/10 of the original, a passive skill. This is precisely why in F/A Karna pretty much took 0 damage. Interestingly, Siegfried and Achilles also possess similar Noble Phantasms which make them invincible or immortal. (This is actually funny because even the last fight between Karna and Sieg was epic, they couldn't really hurt one another until Karna decided to pull out his last Noble Phantasm) Upon the end of the story, Karna is to face his half-brother, Arjuna, in the battle, who is the son of Indra. Shortly prior to the battle, Indra, caring for his blood, transformed into a monk and beggar on the road. He deliberately greeted Karna and asked for his armour. Although Surya told Karna who this monk really was and his intention, Karna, as a good person who vowed never to turn down a monk's wish, agreed to meet Indra's demand. He used a sharp knife to sever the golden armour from his skin and handed it over. Upon witnessing this greatly kind act, all the gods appeared from the sky showering Karna to heal him and demanded Indra to make compensation. Karna then selected the spear from Indra's vault, or 'Vasavi Shakti', which is said to destroy everything with a single blow, but can only be used once. Thus, in Fate, Karna can only use Vasavi Shakti once and is at the cost of losing his armour permanently as an exchange. Unfortunately, Karna beared many curses, perhaps too many. One of them is that he will forget his skills and abilities at the most desperate times (I kid you not this is in the original myth). In the end, Karna's chariot was stuck in the mud. Bearing this curse and not being able to push the chariot out, he was shot to death with an arrow by Arjuna. This is very much like what happened in F/A.

2024-06-22 02:21:44 +0000 UTCThen it must've been their first Fate. Might as well not watch UBW/HF/ZERO cuz he gets treated the same if not worse 😭

2024-06-11 11:46:51 +0000 UTCWe'll, as you've reacted with Karna, people weren't too happy about that at all.

2024-06-11 11:39:38 +0000 UTCI'll still never understand why anyone would drop this show. It doesn't make any sense

2024-06-11 11:21:16 +0000 UTCFinding out that the same person was behind Sukuna vs Mahoraga gets me beyond hyped 🔥
CrypticBoss
2024-06-11 11:19:17 +0000 UTCYeah makes sense but I wish Karna got a clean 1v1

2024-06-11 11:18:29 +0000 UTCHey man, I'm honestly glad you've watched the entire series without dropping it at all. I've got to say that this series was probably it's first usages of the impact audios ever, until it carried over into other Fate. Now, it's time for you to react to Tsiah IV's showcase of Sieg, how powerfully broken he is and how bullshit he is in plot, and secrets of this series was supposed to be before it turned I to an anime and some ideas was scraped into oblivion unless their just to stand there like npc's.

2024-06-11 10:07:21 +0000 UTCThis show how GOAT Achilles is. 1. He has immortality. Only those who have divinity can damage him (in this war, they only are chiron and karna). Chiron robbed him of his immortality by piercing his heel with his np. 2. Achilles that got his heel pierced was nerfed of his speed by 70%. So his fight with Atalanta is his 30% speed. 3. His shield np can entirely contain Vasavi Shakti. Achilles is Karna, Arjuna, Enkidu, Gil tier. They are the top tier heroic spirits.

2024-06-11 03:50:36 +0000 UTCThe reason Ep 22's animation is different is cause the GOAT Hakuyu Go was the director and head animator for this episode, AKA the man who was the director and head animator Sukuna vs. Mahoraga I love the antidote foreshadowing/red herring from this fight, ep 1 Sisigo got a a baby Hydra corpse, then used it to make Hydra Poison and the antidote, the watcher and reader thinks it will be used against Chiron if you know his myth and how he died to hydra poison. Semiramis thinks the same thing and prepares Hydra poison, the poison she ends up using on Mordred which Sisigo has the antidote too! Love it so much Mordred and Sisigo's final moments were so beautiful, they are my 2nd fav Master Servent Duo in all of Fate.

2024-06-11 02:44:45 +0000 UTCI mean you saw chiron ask Achilles to give their faction one of his noble phantasms in episode 21 remember? And Achilles went to astolfo during the post credit scene.
