![]() Poor Ayaka has a lot of problems in store for her. ![]() If the novel’s anything, Manaka, powerlevel-wise, is, according to Nasu, omnipotence in human form. If you gotta ask who she was prototype for in FSN, I’d say she’s a mix between FSN!Illya (inability to grow, plus her sweet childishness and psychotic personality but without her heroic and sympathetic traits), Dark Sakura (again, personality-wise and their connection to the Greater Grail but unlike D!Sakura, Manaka is purposely and intentionally evil from the start whereas prior to darkening and after a series of breaking, Sakura was corrupted whereas Manaka didn’t need to be). Then there was her crazy older sister, Manaka Sajyou, who is the main villain of the main series and the villain protagonist of Prototype’s prequel novel, Pale Silver Fragments, who serves as Ayaka’s Saber’s original Master there. Being both their prototypes plus Sakura’s too (plot position-wise and penchant for attracting people of the opposite gender without really trying, she’s Shirou, backstory and personality-wise, she’s a fusion between Rin and Sakura), it would’ve been interesting to see if Nasu actually went through with this project before FSN. ![]() Protagonist: Ayaka Sajyou ( Fate/Prototype) and Manaka Sajyou ( Pale Silver Fragments prequel series)īefore Shirou, Rin and gender-flipped King Arthur existed, there was the shy but strong-willed Ayaka Sajyou and her Servant, the actual male King Arthur, Saber. In Fate/ Unlimited Codes, literally everyone in FSN (except Kuzuki) is the protagonist, unlike Melty Blood since FUC is an alternate retelling of FSN in each of the characters’ POV.įate/Prototype and Pale Silver Fragments (prequel): Them aside, Saber gets the bulk of the focus in the Fate route, relegating Shirou’s MC status to that of a supporting protagonist (he’s still the main POV, but doesn’t quite have the hand on the plot compared to the next two routes), while Sakura is the main love interest in Heaven’s Feel, as the “princess” Shirou has to rescue amid the gray morality he faces there and the dark machinations behind the HGW. Oh, they’re also the selectable main characters in the FHA mini-game Capsule Servant, so there. Regardless of whether or not she’s the love interest, she’s definitely the main heroine here, even though Saber’s the poster girl for the series. Then there’s the fact that her development mirrors and runs parallel to Shirou’s as well. She gets to narrate several times in UBW too. There’s also the fact that she develops alongside Shirou outside her route plus her being the narrator and MC in both the prologue and the epilogue of the game. While we all know that Shirou is the overall narrator and main character of the popular VN Fate/Stay Night, since it centers on his growth in different ways in all three routes ( UBW being my favorite overall), Rin is the second most important character in the whole VN and I’m saying this not because I’m biased towards her, but because compared to Sakura and Saber, whose roles may be minimal outside their routes, Rin’s role is important in all three routes, regardless of her not being the main heroine of Fate and HF, and her cruciality never diminishes in any of them. ![]() Heroines: Saber ( Fate), Rin Tohsaka ( Unlimited Blade Works) and Sakura Matou ( Heaven’s Feel) Updated and edited Fate/Stay Night (All 3 Routes):ĭeuteragonist: Rin Tohsaka (relegated to a tritagonist more in the other routes, but overall, she’s this) Meet the main contenders of the Holy Grail War in all the different Nasuverse universes: Last time we had the special titles, now we have the most awaited MCs of Type-Moon’s most popular franchise: Fate!
