Saber doesn't know about gate of Babylon in F/SN and also knows that kiri shot kirei. Additionally she claims she fought gilgamesh at the end of the fourth holy grail war which really doesn't happen in f/zero.


tbf the last ones the only one worth actually complaining about.

How could she possibly fight gilgamesh without knowing about fate of babylon?

I was wrong about saber not recognizing GoB but she definitely makes it sound like she had an all out fight with Gilgamesh.

"…Yes, Rin. On the last day of the previous Holy Grail War, I fought against him in a sea of fire.""What happened? Did you beat him?"
"No, I did not… no, I could not beat him. Because I…"
"You were beaten instead?
He's someone you couldn't beat even when you were properly summoned?"
Saber Hangs her head and doesn't answer.

Yeah seriously, it was only recently where people found out the original JP text had a reference to Einzberns possessing the cursed gold. It was only found out when Sieg's updated voiceline referenced it and people went back to check. Who knows what other fine details were smothered over

The thing about the whole 'infinite universes' thing makes me wonder is for say, Saber waiting for Shirou. Do any of her alternate reality selves get a say in this? What about Salter? Does she count as an explicitly different person or is she still part of the greater Artoria? Or does the afterlife have infinite copies of every person? What about Archer? What about Shirou getting with different girls in different endings?!

I imagine Salter went back to the hill too in the HF timeline(s).

"My queen, why have you suddenly become two shades paler? And why are your eyes gold now?"
"Bedivere, I feel like I have just woken up... from a very long dream."

The Saber that made the promise is dead. She returned to the battle and accepted her death. Any of the other Sabers that aren't dead obviously aren't the one that made the promise :v:

I hadn't considered what it would be like to watch a marvel movie but with all the establishing scenes and jokes cut out, but hey the Unlimited Bladeworks movie did me a solid on that end.

At least I can see why people wanted it rebooted as a proper show.

Of course they are, because MHX killed them all and took the title of the ONE TRUE SABER (despite not being a Saber). Whether MHX cares for anyone is something of an open question though.

Not exactly; OG Saber is the same person from history, summoned as a miracle and in essence removed from the moment before their death and not quite a proper heroic spirit. That's why she can't dematerialize, and can remember things from a previous grail war.

Oh, right.

Well, at any rate, I wonder if say, Lancer!Saber is bound by OG Saber shacking up with Shirou.

Alternate timelines are confusing.

Think of the HS as a wikipedia article. There's Early Life, Adulthood, Death, In Other Media Timelines, etc, and you pick the spot you prefer and make a Servant out of it.
Whatever's written in one section doesn't need to affect other sections. (Unless they're deliberately written to follow from the section you changed)

It's no different from picking between the three FSN routes.

So basically Jailter is going to be 12 forever. How bleak. :smith:

I assume the real answer is "please don't think about it so much", but still.

Servants don't age or naturally change, in first place.

And there's no real sense of time progression for HSs, because the throne is not a place where "time" passes (that's what it really means with "atemporal").
