Which Servants Have True Names That Are Easy to Guess Just by Looking?

It feels like there are more Fate characters recently that you can’t immediately tell who they are at first glance.

Recently…?

It’s always been like that, so don’t worry.

I don’t think anyone could identify the heroes in the original Fate just by looking at them.

Could you figure out Hessian Lobo, a fusion of two completely unrelated characters, on your first try?

You couldn’t tell Saber from Fate/stay night was King Arthur at first glance.

I thought she was Jeanne d’Arc.

>>10
There were already many like that back then. On the contrary, not many thought she was Jeanne.

Wouldn’t it be quicker to list the ones who are easy to recognize?

Shirou guessing Gilgamesh.

In Fate/stay night, the only one with a high chance of being recognized might be Kojirou.

Magazines were calling Rider an Assassin. I totally got fooled!

>>19
Well, without Pegasus, she does have an Assassin-like style.

There’s no way to know.

Isn’t it kind of the point that true names aren’t supposed to be easily recognized?

The only ones I can think of who’d really be in trouble if their true names were known are Siegfried and Achilles.

In Camelot, Hassan tried to kill Tristan with the poison that caused his death. But since Camelot Tristan was blessed by the Lion King, he was immune and turned the tables.

Sakamoto Ryouma has a pretty Ryouma-like appearance.

On the other hand, which Heroic Spirits are obvious from their looks?

Even though he’s a fake, Musashibo Benkei is instantly recognizable.

>>30
Chiron’s horse form is an instant giveaway, so he hides it when summoned.

>>30
Goldie, maybe?

>>30
Lu Bu.

Chinese ones are generally easy to recognize unless they’re as off-track as Xiang Yu.

Recognizable Heroic Spirits… maybe Asclepius? He does carry a snake-entwined staff.

I thought they’d introduce lesser-known heroes from around the world and weave them into the story, but that didn’t happen.

>>36
In a full game, maybe, but for gacha games, popularity equals money.

>>36
Isn’t the game already full of obscure heroes? Like Zhang Jue.

Himiko is Himiko.

You could guess Heracles by recognizing him as the famous buff hero.

The real deal!
