He did get a lot of offscreen action though, he has apparently repelled every other Servant in battle at least once in the routes. He was even able to force Berserker back in battle (granted, he did have numerous terrain advantages and Caster, but still....he forcibly stopped Berserker from reaching the temple). He also *defeated* Saber in Fate, and forcibly held Archer back from killing Shirou in UBW, he pretty much has beaten every Servant bar his Master at least once.

@@xuanathan lol Lancer was totally blocked by saber in the courtyard fight and assassin was 'winning' against saber. So he can very much defeat lancer if the things go in his favor. Hell lancer got tired fighting even Archer, whom he thought he would easily defeat. (He was winning against Archer but still). The only servant he probably could never defeat is Gil. Gil just has an unfair advantage of firepowers over him. But if somehow he manages to go close to Gil, bam! Subame gaishi and Gil is toast.

@@uselesshero.official You do know that for every fight up until Cu's second fight against EMIYA he was forced by a command seal to hold back right? You are greatly underestimating Cu. He held off Gilgamesh for half a day, which is leagues longer than any other servant has lasted. He has one of the best one on one Noble Phantasms paired with excellent skills for repeat fights. He was even goading her to follow him BECAUSE he was sure he'd win in the second fight. If both of them were at fullpower, I don't think Artoria would die like a bitch, but I kinda doubt she'd win, hell Cu could even buff himself with runes to boost all of his stats one rank higher, at which point even Artoria would struggle to keep up. Also Gil is immune to Tsubame Gaeshi, according to Nasu he straight up has an NP that disables 2nd magic effects. Not to mention the only reason Assassin does well is because he's at the gate where NPs have reduced effectiveness and the support of Caster, if Caster wasn't there Heracles would have bodied him, As Assassin can't hurt the fucker. Also you underestimate EMIYA, Artoria only turn ones EMIYA because seeing her just shocked him so much. He's specifically trained at defensive fighting, which is why Cu didn't just delete him. Even so Cu would have won eventually, and Cu? Tired? the guy is said to be able to win 6 fights back to back. Honestly realistically most servants in Fate would normally beat Assassin, as they have Noble Phantasms (Edited the comment because EMIYA's feat in besting Heracles six times through unknown means has no place in this comment.)

You see the thing about Kojiro is that he more than likely never existed. He was just a rival that storytellers made up for Musashi, or at least that's the theory. Because no actual evidence can be found of him. Which is why they refer to him as a fictional heroic spirit who only exists through the fame of Musashi's legend. The VN also assumes this, and that's why I felt it so tragic yet beautiful at the same time. A man who has a limited existence built upon fiction.

The skill can be called a style which is best suited for the Saber class.

The fact he's such a strong threat when he's the servant with the most handicaps is actually what makes him great. That said, in Fate Sasaki Koujirou is just a wraith, a wandering spirit that took on the identity of Sasaki Koujiro because his sword skills matched the legend. He's an unnamed and unknown samurai basically, which is why he doesn't even have a Noble Phantasm. I may add that he's given the least mana out of all the servants,he's bound to the gate so he can't move away from it, he will vanish in fifteen days no matter what, and he was constantly physically and brutally punished by Caster for being uppity. Even through all that he was able to fend off every single Servant that tried to enter the Temple by force, and this canonically includes Berserker (technically it's more like Ilya found a drawn out battle with Assassin to be a waste of effort and time). The only servant who manages to defeat Assassin was Saber (The Shadow does not counts).

@@LeonGun8 And this is why Artoria's Instincts should not be underestimated. It's also why her Alter version is considered weaker, due to her Instincts Skill getting nerfed hard. (without the constant Grail backing, she'd just be a slightly tankier version of Artoria, but way less agile and perceptive) Too bad FGO didn't manage to translate that Skill well into its gameplay. It seriously deserved to have some unique effects, like maybe add two Evades to her while also heavily increasing her Critical Damage for instance. But instead, it just gives her a few Crit Stars. That's WAY too weak for a 5* Saber! I really hope they update her Skills eventually, she's just not living up to her reputation like this.
