Berserker (バーサーカー, Bāsākā?) is the Berserker-class Servant of Rani VIII in Moon Cell Holy Grail War of Fate/EXTRA. He is only fought as an enemy Servant during the Rin route in contrast to Berserker of the Rani route. He is one of the Servants of Ritsuka Fujimaru of the Grand Order conflicts of Fate/Grand Order.
Profile
Identity
Berserker's True Name is Lü Bu FèngxiānWP (呂布奉先WP, Ryofu Hōsen?), the General of Repetition (反覆の将, Hanpuku no hata?) of the Romance of the Three KingdomsWP. He is an infamously treacherous military commander from the Three KingdomsWP era. For two times he cut down his foster fathers, and to repeat the act of betrayal on countless occasions was an unbelievable act for the China that esteemed the Confucian moralsWP. Still, his military exploits, deeds of arms are unmatched and he was counted as one of the strongest in the world of the Three Kingdoms.[3][5]
He betrayed Ding YuanWP who appointed him to a high position and conspired with Demon Lord Dong ZhuoWP, who had grasped the central hegemony. But even Dong Zhuo was betrayed and assassinated.[5] He betrayed Dong Zhuo because he was crazily in love with Diao ChanWP (貂蝉WP, Chōsen?).[6]
Lü Bu excelled at shooting on horseback, and because of this gift he was likened to the expert of the bow of the Han DynastyWP: the "Flying General" Li GuangWP. The time when the hero of the Three Kingdoms Liu BeiWP, who Lü Bu called his sworn brother, was cornered by Yuan ShuWP's military commander, Ji LingWP is a man of great influence and Lü Bu's ally. As he did not like the fight between the two, Lü Bu commanded for a halberd to be erected at the camp's gate 150 steeps away. Both the Earth and Heavens aligned in perfect harmony. It was said that the arrow he shot hit the target beautifully and Ji Ling withdrew his army. This event is later called Gate Halberd Shot (轅門射戟, Nagaemon Shahoko?).[3][5]
|
« I will shoot an arrow, and if it hits the small blade sticking out from the side of that halberd, withdraw your forces. If it doesn't hit, you may fight as much as you like. » |
| (Lü Bu) |
After this, he wandered around ZhongyuanWP, going through many battles, but in the end was attacked and defeated by an opposing general, Cao CaoWP, due the betrayal of a subordinate. He was then executed.[3][5]
Lü Bu's selfishness was strong and he believed that there was no military commander in this world above himself, but it seems that he let his guard down towards the strategist Chen Gong, who made use of him "effectively" in his tactics until the end.[3][5]
Appearance
Berserker has short red hair with red feathers on top of his head and white blank plain eyes. He wears a red Chinese general uniform including large armor and thick fur trimming at the collar and gloves. The color of Berserker's armor is blue and the fur is white and black striped at Stage 2, and at Stage 3 his fur is black with a yellow striped pattern. He appears strong and has a tall figure, his glittering armor reminiscent of a brave general.[6] Archer noted that Berserker is like a living fortress and it'll be extremely hard to break down his walls. He also explains that he is like a mobile fortress specializing in fighting against military.

Personality
As Berserker, his personality is seemingly emotionless, insane, and only obeying Rani's commands. His lines are all just incomprehensible yelling, so we don’t know what his real personality is like. It wouldn't be surprising for this Heroic Spirit to betray his Master but it is doubtful that Berserker would kill Rani as she looks similar to his wife in his lifetime.[6] However, he does display one glimpse of emotion when he saves Rani and Hakuno from the explosion, looking back and smiling as they are engulfed in light.
Because of Mad Enhancement, he has lost his reason and thoughts and there is never a time when his human nature is revealed. His tastes and preferences are unknown. Maybe he perceives all but himself as an enemy that must be destroyed, for there are also times when he leaves your control. One can gain more peace of mind and employ him when he is mad - a Heroic Spirit who is truly hard to associate with.[3]
In Extella, it is revealed that despite his Mad Enchantment, he retains his treacherous nature and desire for battle. His roars are translated, claiming that if Hakuno wishes to make use of him, to prove himself a commanding officer worthy of him. In Grand Order, his roars are further described, thanks to a dictionary provided by Chen Gong.

Role
Fate/EXTRA
Berserker was summoned by Rani VIII. Like with many of his class, he lacks intelligence and can only let out grunts and roars.
Regardless of the choice made by Hakuno Kishinami, they will fight Berserker when they interfere with Rin Tohsaka and Rani's battle.
If Hakuno picked Rin's route, Hakuno will save Rin from Berserker. Lancer stays and sacrifices himself to stall Berserker until Hakuno and Rin escape back to the school. Hakuno will eventually fight Berserker in the sixth round, but does not find out until halfway through the preparation period of that week.
Berserker will attempt to attack Hakuno from the school and into the Arena, leaving behind damage that clearly lacked any kind of control. Rani will also reprogram an effigy to possess Berserker's skills and use it to enter the Arena in her stead. It's not until Hakuno discovers the Noble Phantasm of her opponent's Servant that she realizes her opponent is Rani.
If Hakuno chose Rani's route, Hakuno's attempt to save Rani would make her lose control of Berserker. While Hakuno attempts to fend off Berserker's attacks, SE.RA.PH intervenes with it issuing a Rule infraction warning. Lancer used this opportunity to impale Rani's chest, Berserker tried to fight back until SE.RA.PH dropped a barrier. As Rani's energy core is about to explode, Berserker ran to the core shielding both Hakuno and Rani. As Berserker started to disappear, Hakuno saw Berserker smiled gently towards Hakuno and Rani.
Last Encore
Berserker and Lancer are revealed to have killed each other off during their fight on the sixth floor, accidentally damning their respective Masters to a state of no victor nor loser, shortly before the Moon Cell shut down.
Rani, or copies of her, were subsequently turned into a Demi-Servant that can use Berserker's power. Rani and Rin, who also possessed Lancer's power, struggled to find someone who could free them from stagnation.
Unfortunately, said someone could save only Rin.
Fate/EXTELLA
Berserker returns, but this time as a selectable playable character for Hakuno Kishinami. He's in Tamamo no Mae's party along with Medusa, Karna, and Elizabeth. His treacherous nature is an open secret among Tamamo's party, with only Tamamo herself being unaware of his true nature.
In his own side mission, some of Lu Bu's dialog is translated, revealing that he openly resents Tamamo and repeatedly proclaims his intent to one day crush her. At the end of his sidestory, he plans to finally strike out against Tamamo only to be stopped by Chen Gong, who suggests they instead bide their time and let Tamamo build up the nation for them first.
Fate/EXTELLA LINK
Lu Bu has been Oraclized by Karl der Große to be a member of the New Holy Empire.
First Route
If Hakuno's forces assault Mare Luxuria, Lu Bu is in command of Karl's forces there. He eventually appears to personally fight Hakuno's Servants once much of his army had been routed. He is subsequently defeated, and forced to retreat.
He returns later to guard Carolus Patricius's east gate along with Karna and Medusa. He protects one of the Karl Cannon firing upon Hakuno's forces, but he's eventually defeated.
Fate/Grand Order
Septem: The Eternal Madness Empire
Lu Bu is summoned in the "Septem" Singularity, along with Jing Ke, who he accompanies. They both serve Emperor Nero and before meeting Ritsuka Fujimaru and Mash Kyrielight, they had already killed three emperors of the United Roman Empire. Lu Bu fights as a part of Nero's army, being the second Berserker, the other one being Spartacus.
Miss Almost Weekly Santa Alter
Lu Bu listens to The Phantom of the Opera as he laments about Christine and complains about Christmas. Then, when Santa Alter reveals herself to be Santa Claus, he becomes enraged along with The Phantom and attacks her with him and Darius III. After being defeated by Santa Alter, he regrets his behavior, and then is given a present by her.
Salomon: The Grand Time Temple
Lu Bu is amongst the "Septem" Singularity Servant to aid Chaldea against Demon Gods Pillar.[7]
Interlude
In his interlude Tiger and Wolf, Lu Bu acts a guard for Ritsuka and Mash, but Romani is concerned due to Lu Bu's legacy of betrayal. Then after they repel an enemy attack, Romani recalls that Lu Bu had sacrificed himself for a woman, and ponders on who the true Lu Bu is.
Abilities
Lü Bu under Mad Enhancement has lost his reasoning in exchange for strengthening his parameter and lost a large function of his techniques. This Berserker also that has been impaired with all kinds of martial arts in his lifetime.[6] He is a land stronghold that has the qualifications for five Classes: Lancer, Rider, Assassin, Berserker and Archer. He wields a halberd called Houtengageki (方天画戟?, lit. "The Decrated Halberd that Matches the Heavens") and it is also his Noble Phantasm called God Force. Though most of the function of God Force has been lost due to his insanity.[8] After an Animation Update, he displays more usage of his weapons transformations, as well as erupting explosions from his body, and blasts from his torso.
His own horse Red Hare can become a Noble Phantasm but he couldn't use it in the Moon Cell Holy Grail War due to his current Servant classes.[5]
|
« Among men, Lü Bu; among horses, Red Hare » |
| (so it was recited about Lü Bu's favorite horse.) |
Combat
- Armistice (絶武無双, Zebbu Musō?) - It is a self skill that inflicts Stun on an enemy when using BREAK. The effect would only last for 3 turns.
- Fallible Bow (必中無弓, Hicchū Mu-yumi?) - Inflicts physical damage and Stun on an enemy. The effect would only last for 2 moves.
- Immortal Red Hare (赤兎無尽, Aka Usagiuma-jin?) - This skill will bring him back from death a single time. This Skill will revive him with 10% HP. He would keep using this Skill every turn once the condition is met.
Nature of a Rebellious Spirit
His personal skill; Nature of a Rebellious Spirit (反骨の相, Hankotsunosō?, localized as "Restless Soul" in Fate/EXTRA and "Defiant" in Fate/Grand Order) gives one the temperament of a lone wolf, unable and unwilling to settle in one place or serve one master. This person will never be able to follow greatness, yet is incapable of finding greatness on his own. This skill negates the effect of Charisma skills of the same rank.[1][3][5] The skill was sealed as this skill will very likely make him betray his Master. It is a rare example of using the correct characteristics of the Berserker class.[6]
Development
Creation and Conception
Takashi Takeuchi originally drew Lü Bu. When Arco Wada took a first glance at the design, she knew instantly that it was Lü Bu without any explanation.[2]
In the early designs, Berserker would have him being a half human, half horse centaur, or even him as a mech which ended up too tough to work out, but in the end they had to go with the true-to-form pure ancient Chinese style Lü Bu.[6]
Reception
- In the Type-Moon's 10th Anniversary Character Poll, Berserker was ranked 198th.

True Name: Lu Bu Feng Xian

Keyword: Gate Halberd Shot, Red Hare
Strength: A+, Defense: A+, Agility: B+, Magic: C+, Luck: C+
Blind Rage: A, Fortitude: B, Restless Soul: BKewords 01 - God Force: The Five Warriors of Guan Yu
The true name given to Lu Bu Feng Xian's legendary halberd, the Sky Piercer. This weapon was considered the epitome of the weaponsmith's art as it perfectly balances all aspects of hand-to-hand combat into one formidable package.
The God Force was a masterpiece of Chinese weapons design created by the smith Chen Gong especially for Lu Bu, who he saw as the reincarnation of the ancient war god Guan Yu. Chen Gong believed that this god was responsible for the introduction of weaponry to the Chinese and strove to create a weapon that contained the strengths of all the weapons known to humanity at that time. This lead to the creation of Lu Bu's Noble Phantasm, which allows him to use his vast knowledge of the martial arts to adapt to and take advantage of his opponent's weaknesses.
Due to being under the effects of the Blind Rage enhancement, most of Lu Bu's skills have been erased from his mind and only his knowledge of the spear and of basic artillery (such as cannons) remains.
02 - Gate Halberd Shot
Lu Bu excelled at archery and was especially adept at shooting on horseback, earning him the nickname the "Flying General." He was very close to Liu Bei, one of the heroes of the Three Kingdoms era of Chinese history, and considered him to be his brother. When Liu Bei found his armies by Ji Ling, an ally of Lu Bu, Lu Bu went alone to meet with the heads of the opposing sides in an effort to stop the impending bloodshed.
Upon arriving at the gate of Ji Ling's encampment, he ordered that a halberd be set into the ground 150 paces away from where he stood. He then turned to the to leaders, and said the following:
"I will shoot an arrow, and if it hits the small blade sticking out from the side of that halberd, withdraw your forces. If I miss, you are free to slaughter each other down to the last man."
Both the Earth and Heavens aligned in perfect harmony, and Lu Bu's arrow hit the intended target, forcing Ji Ling to withdraw his forces.
03 - Red Hare
"Among men, Lu Bu; among horses, Red Hare",
As Lu Bu was considered the most powerful warrior in China, so was his favored horse considered the most powerful steed to be found in any of the major kingdoms.
The animal would allow no other person to ride it, or even allow anyone but Lu Bu to handle its reins. Its physical prowess was also legendary and it has been said that Lu Bu managed to jump across a 30 meter wide moat while riding Red Hare.０１ - 軍神五兵

His name is synonymous with treachery and betrayal, though his fame as a might general was known throughout the period of Chinese history known as the era of the Three Kingdoms.
His martial abilities are so advanced that he can easily be classified in any of the five classes present in the Holy Grail War: Lancer, Rider, Assassin, Berserker and Archer.
02 - "General of Recursion"
Lu Bu Feng Xian, the traitorous general mentioned in the the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
While he had considerable success on the field of battle, his legacy will forever stained by his callous betrayal of the two men who took him in as a son. His military prowess elevated him to one of the strongest generals of the Three Kingdoms, though his inability to trust or follow led to his downfall. His lack of judgment was such that he slew Ding Yuan, the first of many confidants he betrayed, at the urgings of Dong Zhuo, who was frequently referred to as Demon Warlord. But once again Lu Bu's true nature emerged and he ended up slaying Dong Zhuo.
After this second act of treason, he wandered the provinces of North China, attempting to bring them all under his domination. However, his inability to rule led to his capture and execution by the general Cao Cao.
In the end, it was Lu Bu's hubris that brought him down as he believed that he was the mightiest general alive and that no one could defeat him. And although his patron Chen Gong was disappointed and disillusioned by him, he was able to use Lu Bu in his own machinations until his student's death.０１ - 人物背景：

Berserker’s (Lu) true name is hard to guess by just looking at him. Very mysterious. He is big, and strong.
...Just who the heck is this Lu Bu anyways? Really.
Although he has lost his sanity, he possesses a tall, strong body, and appears as the majestic general he is in his brilliant armor.
His master is Rani VIII.
As is the fate of those in the Berserker class, his lines are all just incomprehensible yelling, so we don’t know what his real personality is like.
The early designs of him included him being a half human, half horse centaur, or even him as a mech (which was too tough to work out), but in the end we had to go with the true-to-form pure ancient Chinese style Lu Bu.
All heroes who are summoned into the berserker class lose their mind in exchange for a strengthening of their parameters, and as a result they also lose the ability to use most of their special trained skills.
This berserker has lost all his military related skills from when he was alive, but in exchange his defiant nature has been sealed away. “Defiant Nature” means the disposition to defy one’s lord, but as long as this nature is sealed away, this Heroic Spirit will never betray his master. It can be said that this is a rare case where this features of the berserker class is being employed correctly.
…at least theoretically.
It is questionable whether this warrior is also tempted to kill the girl Rani, as she resembles Diaochan, the wife he madly loved when he was alive.パーサーカー（呂）【サーヴァント】
ひとめ見ただけではとうていしょうたいのわからない、なぞのさーばぁんと。でかくてつよい。

正気こそ失っているものの、長躯たくましく、きらびやかな鎧は勇壮な将軍を思わせる。
マスターはラニ＝Ⅷ。
バーサーカーの宿命か、叫んでばかりでロクな台詞がないため、彼がどのような人格かは不明。
初期デザインでは人馬一体のケンタルウス形態だったり、そもそもメカだったりと難航したが、呂布はやっぱり純中華風でないとネ！という事で落ち着いた。
バーサーカーになった英霊は、パラメータ強化と引き替えに理性を失い、培った技術も大部分が使用不可状態になる。
この武人が生前に愛し狂った妻・貂蝉に似た面影を持つ少女を殺める気になったかは疑問ではあるが。 - ↑ Fate/Grand Order - Salomon: The Grand Time Temple - Act 03: II / Intelligence Room Flauros

God Force
Berserker’s anti-personnel, anti-army, anti-castle noble phantasm.
The true name of the two-handed sky piercer halberd recognized as Lu Bu Fengxian’s main weapon.
A multi-mode weapon which has six different forms.
This amounts to Lu Bu having six Servants’ worth of noble phantasms for himself, which are:
“slash” for heavy damage attacks that nullify or cut through and break all kinds of physical defense;
“thrust” for heavy damage attacks that can stun on hit (target being rendered immobile due to spear impalement) and penetrate through a line of enemies;
“blunt strike” for raising Lu Bu’s defense by transforming into huge bracers, or using a special defensive technique for blocking and redirecting attacks; “sweep” mode for sweeping aside a row of enemies;
“parry” mode for doing special counterattacks to do damage while deflecting physical attacks;
and “shoot” for everyone’s favorite large-bore, wave motion cannon-like Lu Bu beam.
It wouldn’t be strange for other Servants to be muttering “maybe we should just let him do everything”.軍神五兵【宝具】
