Arcueid Brunestud (アルクェイド・ブリュンスタッド, Arukweido Buryunsutaddo?), Class Name Berserker (バーサーカー, Bāsākā?), is the Berserker-class Servant of Monji Gatou in the Moon Cell Holy Grail War of Fate/EXTRA. She only appears in the Rani route in contrast to Berserker of the Rin route.
Profile[]
Identity[]
Also called White Berserker (白いバーサーカー?), Arcueid's appearance is "fan service" due to the existence of Moon Cell contradicting the events of the world of Tsukihime and making them impossible to coexist.[4] She is the lone survivor of the True Ancestor's royal line, believed to be the foundation of the vampiric species. Though her lineage as a vampire is her most outstanding trait, she is an Elemental of the planet more akin to a destructive force of nature like typhoons and earthquakes. True Ancestors are the embodiment of the consciousness of the planet, and they are believed to suck blood from humans for pleasure.
There are rumors of her being a creation of the Moon Cell.[5] Her real Master is a young boy in a school uniform or something of that nature.[3]
Appearance[]
Arcueid is a pale woman in plain clothing with vicious, crimson eyes. Differing from her normal appearance, her long skirt is ripped, her hair is disheveled, and the iris of her left eye is purple. Upon regaining her senses, her hair and eyes return to normal.
In Fate/EXTRA Record her design has been slightly updated to resemble Red Arcueid from the Tsukihime remake.

Personality[]
Despite being a Berserker, she is not overly battle-hungry, only battling as dictated and speaking taunting phrases occasionally. She mostly remains impassive while Gatou interprets her will in various ways as his "god." He believes her silence to be a trial for him, and he declares her to be the creator of the universe and constantly spreads false information about her. Though not fully cognizant, she awaits being freed from her mistake in following him. Due to sharing the same basic origins, it is believed she would get along with Caster.[3]
Upon regaining her sanity, she shows her whimsical nature. It can be said that she simply got lost and wandered into the tournament. She speaks to Hakuno Kishinami as if they are friends, smiling all through their conversation. She would have originally been given the class designation Funny Vamp (ファニーヴァンプ, Translated as "Temptress" in the English localization?) due to her nature, emphasizing her nature as a "Blood Drinker that drains the life from her opponent", a "Life Eater that consumes her foe's vitality", and a "Financial Crisis where electronic trading decimates an entire nation's economy." Though her actions are evil and unjustified, they are a naively natural act like breathing. In CCC, Berserker's mad enhancement fades, leading her to say "Wow, you've got no integrity" before assuring Gatou of her return before leaving him. Aside from telling him to wait for her, the last words she spoke were "Do your job, Gatou" hinting at her forgiving him, and motivating him to help other masters.
Role[]
Fate/EXTRA[]
Berserker only appears in Rani VIII's route as an enemy Servant. She is first encountered in the arena with Gatou, and she simply remains impassive without provocation from Hakuno Kishinami. Gatou interprets that she has declared the area to be a holy training ground, so they leave without issue. During a later moment of reverence, he gives details about her Mystic Eyes while beseeching her to use them to guide him. That detail is unable to determine much about her identity due to the large number of references to Mystic Eyes for various heroes.
After Kotomine gives a hunting challenge to Gatou and Hakuno, Hakuno emerges the victor. Gatou reveals his goal in spreading his god to the world, and also reveals her nature as a True Ancestor. They proceed to battle, but Hakuno's Servant emerges victorious. They are granted the knowledge of her Noble Phantasm for winning, and proceed to the final battle in the Colosseum. Gatou explains more of his philosophy and reasons for his actions before the battle, while Berserker simply stands by without speaking.
Berserker is defeated, and Gatou fades away while pleading to hear her voice. She does not disappear like other Servants due to her nature and instead regains her sanity after Mad Enhancement fades. She explains Gatou's failing in attempting to make her into a god, bidding him farewell with a promise to see him in his next life since he believes in reincarnation. She cannot remember her location and feels the Moon Cell attempting to reject her. Easily opening a portal out of the Moon Cell, she talks directly to Hakuno, explaining that it was second time she has almost been killed, and with a smile, offers make them pay for it should they ever seek her out. Bidding them farewell, she leaves through the portal.
Other appearances[]
Arcueid does not make an appearance in Fate/EXTRA CCC, but her Master is taken to the Far Side along with a number other Masters and Servants. When describing how he lost his Servant, Gatou says that she spoke a "prophecy" of "Wow, you’ve got no integrity" and left him after somehow regaining her senses. Though also telling him to stay put and await her return.
Abilities[]
In the World of EXTRA where the information of the digital world takes precedence over the physical World, Arcueid is no longer the strongest. This is because in the digital world, legend becomes reality, and natural phenomena that have been incarnated as “God” can often hold more power than their original natural existence does.[5] Arcueid was originally a Spirit from the Earth called "True Ancestor", as opposed to gods, sentient beings with values able to be understood by Humans. Due to Monji Gatou's misconceptions equating her to a God, her status downgraded from Planet to God, making her unable to properly display her abilities.[6]
Because she is first and foremost an Elemental of the Earth, her presence and activities in the Moon Cell causes excessive stress within the systems. Although categorized as a Berserker, her original class was actually more akin to "Funny Vamp" than anything else. If she were summoned as a such, she would become a Blood Drinker that drains the life from her opponent; A Life Eater that consumes her foe's vitality; A Financial Crisis where electronic trading decimates an entire nation's economy; In other words, her actions, while evil and without justification, would come as naturally to her as breathing.[3]
As a Vampire, Arcueid is seemly immortal and able to control lesser Demons.[3]
Skills[]
Class Skills[]
- Mad Enhancement (A→C Rank): Raises all basic Parameters at the cost of impairing high-level cognitive thought...the effects of which have been made more severe due to the incompetency of the Master.[3]
Personal Skills[]
- Mystic Eyes (A→C Rank): Those who possess the ability of Mystic Eyes are capable of influencing the outside World... the effectiveness of which has been severely reduced due to the incompetency of the Master.[3]
- Ultimate One (EX→X Rank): By receiving support from the planet itself, Arcueid's Parameters are raised one rank above the opponent's. Unfortunately, this ability has been rendered useless due to the incompetency of the Master.[3][7] If the location of battle is on Earth, or if her opponent is something or someone that originates from Earth, she would normally be able to activate this Skill without penalty or limitation. However it seems that being on Moon Cell would restrict the length of time which this skill can be used for, as well as there being some opponents that her specs would be unable to exceed.[7]
Noble Phantasm[]
Arcueid's Noble Phantasm is Blut die Schwester. As an extension of the mother Earth, her very touch transform the area around her into a part of the Earth's environment (a process known as terraforming). However, as the Moon Cell is bound by the physical attributes of the moon, this process introduces incredible levels of gravitational stress on the system and anyone within its event horizon will suffer gravity six times normal level.[3]
If Arcueid regained her sanity she would easily be considered a cheat-tier Servant. Her power, “The stage is the Moon, so all targets have their power reduced to a sixth of their usual.” would be extremely useful against other similar cheat-tier Servants. It’s a conceptual numerical alteration, so it is unavoidable when on the Moon. Even the Moon Cell transformed version of BB would be limited by it. In Fate/EXTRA and CCC, she is about the only one who is “Capable of defeating Amaterasu, no matter how small the chance might be.”[5]
Gameplay[]
Rail Zeppelin, Der Mond, and Gnaden Sturz.
- Der Mond (デア・モーント?) - Arcueid leans back and howls. Slightly restoring HP.
- Rail Zeppelin (レール・ツェッペリン?) - Arcueid howls, inflecting stun on the enemy next time she uses a Break attack.
- Gnaden Sturz (グナーデン・ストース?) - Arcueid leaps into the air and forms a crescent moon. Diving down and slashing at the opponent while repeatedly saying "fake". Inflicts damage and paralysis.
Development[]
Reception[]
- In the Type-Moon's 10th Anniversary Character Poll, Arcueid was ranked 202nd.

Although considered a Noble Phantasm, this power is more akin to a special quality inherent to her very being. As an extension of the mother Earth, her very touch transform the area around her into a part of the Earth's environment (a process known as terraforming).

A demon said to feed on blood.
A being some claims to be of the undead, and painted as evil and ungodly by those whole hold to a religious view of the world. In addition to the need to feed on the blood of humans, creatures such as this also are seemly immortal and are able to control lesser demons.
03 - True Ancestor
This is the general term used to describe all species that survive and thrive off the consumption of blood. As for creatures given appellation True Ancestor, they are considered the embodiment of the consciousness of the planet. Despite this, however, every legend regarding these creatures agrees that they not only drink the blood of humans for nourishment, but also out of sadistic pleasure.０１ - プルート・ディ・シェヴェスタァ

A lone survivor from the True Ancestor's royal line, which was the foundation of the vampiric species...or so it is believed. While her image as a vampire commands the most attention, she is also an Elemental that dwells within the Earth's embrace.
It becomes much easier to understand her existence if one regards her as a destructive force of nature akin to typhoons and earthquakes. Rumor also speaks of her as a creation of the Moon Cell.
02 - "True Ancestor"
A true Ancestor who has been twisted and warped by Monji Gatou's delusions.
Because she is first and foremost an Elemental of the Earth, her presence and activities in the Moon Cell causes excessive stress within the systems. Although categorized as a Berserker, her original class was actually more akin to "Temptress" than anything else. If she were summoned as a Temptress, her powers would be like the following:
A Blood Drinker that drains the life from her opponent; A Life Eater that consumes her foe's vitality; A Financial Crisis where electronic trading decimates an entire nation's economy; In other words, her actions, while evil and without justification, would come as naturally to her as breathing.
Although summoned by Monji Gatou, her true "Master" is apparently a young Japanese student by the name of Shiki. And on a totally unrelated note, the fox-eared Caster gets along very well with her as it is believed that they share the same basic origins.０１ - 人物背景：
吸血鬼たちの大本である真祖、その王族の生き残り……であるらしい。
吸血鬼としての側面も強いが、地球に宿る精霊の一種である。
台風や地震、自然現象が擬人化したものと捉えるのがもっとも分かりやすい。
ムーンセルによる創作なのでは、とも囁かれている。
０２ - 『真祖』：
モンジ・ガトーによって間違った解釈を押し付けられた真祖。
地球側の精霊であるため、ムーンセル内の活動は過度のストレスになるようだ。
本来のクラスはバーサーカーではなくファニーヴァンプ。
そのクラスとして召還されたのなら、相手の血液を吸うブラッド・ドリンカー、体力を奪うライフ・イーター、電子マネーを消費させるファイナンス・クライシス、等、男を滅ぼす毒婦（ヴァンプ）として、無邪気かつ天真爛漫に振る舞うらしい。
本当のマスターは学生服の少年だとか、なんだとか。
余談ではあるが、狐耳のキャスターは同類っぽいので気が合うのでは、と推測される。 - ↑
[] Fate/EXTRA Sound Drama 2 Bonus Drama Taiga: As in the works of TYPE-MOON, even where the works are different, world settings are often shared, would it be true to state that outside of the world of EXTRA, the Moon Cell does not exist?
Sakura: Indeed, it does not exist. This would also be the reason that Fate/EXTRA is referred to as a World of 'if.' In the first place, were the Moon Cell to exist within it, Tsukihime -- which shares the same world settings -- would from its very premise collapse.
Saber: Mu? But I'm of the impression that Tsukihime characters appeared within the primary material of the game. Was that a hallucination?
Sakura: It wasn't a hallucination, but -- the matter is that there is no direct continuity of lineage from the History of Man that exists as of Tsukihime. To put it bluntly, it was fanservice.大河「TYPE-MOON作品では、作品が違っても世界観を共有していることが多いけど、エクストラの世界以外にムーンセルは存在しないと言うのは本当かしら？」

[] Fate/EXTRA material - Encyclopedia: Berserker (White) [Servant?], p.202 [T] Berserker (White) [Servant?]
Berserker is the second Servant you end up fighting during the fourth round.
Her master is Monji Gatou.
She is a Funny Vamp [localized as Temptress] with tousled blond hair and crimson eyes.
She is a fan service character.
Technically not a wizard, she is just some strange creature that Gatou brought along from Earth. Sometimes a cat, sometimes Yuzu-nee, sometimes a silicon creature, Berserker is a princess that doesn’t seem to have a proper place in the game. She desperately awaits a redesign.
Incidentally, in the world of EXTRA where the information world (digital) takes precedence over the physical world, she is no longer the strongest.
This is because in the information world legend becomes reality, and natural phenomena that have been incarnated as “Gods” can often hold more power than their original natural existence does.
Well even with that being said, if Berserker regained her sanity she would easily be considered a cheat-tier Servant. Her power, “The stage is the Moon, so all targets have their power reduced to a sixth of their usual.” would be extremely useful against other similar cheat-tier Servants.
It’s a conceptual numerical alteration, so it is unavoidable when on the Moon. Even the Moon Cell transformed version of BB would be limited by it.
In EXTRA and CCC, she is about the only one who is “Capable of defeating Konjiki Hakumen (Golden White Face), no matter how small the chance might be.”パーサーカー（白）【サーヴァント？】
四回戦で戦う事になるサーヴァント、そのに。
マスターはガトーモンジ。
乱れた金髪と、深紅の凶眼を持つファニーヴァンプ。ファンサービスと人の言う。
正しくはサーヴァントではなく、ガトーが地球から連れてきた謎の存在。ネコだったり柚ねえだったり珪素生物になったりと、出番がないようで多忙なお姫さま。一刻も早いリメイクが待たれる。
ところで、物質世界より情報世界の方が主流となっているEXTRA世界においては、そう最強なワケでもない。
情報世界では伝説が真となるため、自然現象を擬神化したいわゆる”神様”が、元になった自然現象以上の力を持つ事が多々あるからだ。
そうはいっても正気に戻ればチート級になるのは間違いない。『舞台が月であるなら、あらゆる対象の能力を六分の一にする』権能は同じチート級の敵への有効な対抗手段だろう。
概念による数値変化なので、月にいるかぎり防ぐ手段は存在しない。ムーンセル化したＢＢですらこの制限を受けてしまう。

If the location of battle is on Earth, or if her opponent is something or someone that originates from Earth, she would normally be able to activate this skill without penalty or limitation.
