He is a chivalrous servant who wishes to do his best to serve his Master and obtain victory within the war for the Grail. He shares a bond of mutual respect with rival Servant Artoria, wishing to face her in an honorable duel to the death.

He is one of the Servants summoned by Ritsuka Fujimaru in the Grand Orders of Fate/Grand Order.

Profile[]

Identity[]

Diarmuid is the son of DonnWP, foster son of Aengus ÓgWP, and first spear of the knights of Fianna. He is known as Diarmuid of the Love Spot (ディルムッドの愛の黒子?), due to a magical love spot granted to him by a young girl. Any woman who gazes upon the spot instantly falls in love with him, which eventually leads to an encounter with Grainne, the bride of Fionn mac Cumhaill. Gráinne, having fallen in love with Diarmuid at her wedding party, placed a geis upon him to run away with her.[3]

It has been said that, even while at large, Diarmuid stuck to his fidelity to Fionn and did not lay a finger on Grainne.[3] They were pursued relentlessly by Fionn, but after much blood was shed, he decided to recognize their marriage, granted Diarmuid a proper title and land, and welcomed them back as subjects.

Sometime later while hunting with Fionn, Diarmuid was fatally injured by a Demon Boar, the reincarnation of his half-brother. Fionn, who had the ability to transform spring water in to a powerful healing agent was with him, so he had no fear of death. Fionn only needed to walk a few steps to the nearby spring, but with jealousy and hatred towards Diarmuid on his mind, he spilled the water twice. By the third time he went to scoop water, Diarmuid had already succumbed to his wound.[3]

The story of his tragic love affair with Grainne would later become the model for the story of Lancelot and Guinevere.[7]

Appearance[]

Diarmuid is regarded as a remarkably handsome young man with quirky long hair combed backward in a rough fashion that has a strand hanging down his face. He wears a dark teal outfit, similar to that of Cú Chulainn's. due to their shared Celtic mythology.

Irisviel von Einzbern instantly notes that his features are capable of sweeping a woman's heart at a glance. It is described that the bold features of his face are the high bridge of his nose and his valiant eyebrow. His hard cut mouth marks him with a stoic air, but his eyes seem make his gaze even more brilliant. Takeuchi considers his charm point to be his droopy eyes and button of a mouth. He has a strong, attractive manly scent that rises from him.

She soon realizes his elegant air of beauty is somewhat unnatural. Even though his features are considered handsome, much of it comes from his spiritual power charming women due to the curse of his beauty spot.


Personality[]

Diarmuid is an extremely proud and noble knight who wishes to serve his lord to the best of his abilities. The geis laid upon him by Gráinne was taken by Diarmuid as a test of his pride. He never once blamed her for forcing it upon him, and he truly admired her ability to throw away her pride, title, and future for the sake of her love. He was constantly distressed by the fact that he betrayed his lord, and even as he died while Fionn did nothing, he did not blame his lord for his actions. Diarmuid believed that despite the cruel twist of fate that led him down this path, the days spent with his lord and his love were used to the fullest. Diarmuid sees the Holy Grail War as a miracle that will allow him to regain his pride as a knight by fighting noble battles and delivering the Grail to his Master. He sees no use in wishing upon the Grail, as simply being summoned has already half-fulfilled his greatest desire.

Diarmuid adheres strictly to the codes of chivalry and upholds his pride as a knight to the fullest, steadfastly believing in honor during battle. While being pursued by the knights of Fionn, he refused to fight against his former comrades. Despite having been presented with several chances to kill either Artoria Pendragon and Kiritsugu Emiya, he refuses to do so due to the circumstances with which he can do so are against his code. During his battles with Artoria, he attempts to provide for the fairest conditions possible. His code and pride also forbids him to ignore evil. During the Caster Crisis, he even goes as far as to fight alongside Artoria, acting as her "left hand", after she suffers the crippling wound from Gáe Buidhe in order to be able to face her in battle again in the future. He is willing to go so far as to destroy Gae Buidhe, so as to allow Artoria to use her Noble Phantasm to destroy Gilles de Rais, simply because Gilles himself is a great evil that has to be wiped out, despite the fact that he himself has nothing to gain from it.

However, in the end his chivalry became his downfall as by having no wish for the Grail, and wanting to serve as a faithful Knight as possible. He unintentionally blinds himself to the fact that the Holy Grail War is a Battle Royale where the participants even Artoria herself would do anything to get their wishes granted and not an honorable battleground like he initially believe. With him only realizing this when Kayneth under a geis sign by Kiritsugu himself commands him to commit suicide, this realization causes him to snap as he starts to curse not only Kayneth and Kiritsugu but Artoria herself all but destroying his friendship with her.

Relationships[]

Kayneth El-Melloi Archibald
If Diarmuid appreciated Kayneth's talents and experience, then Kayneth would have treated him with a much softer attitude.[8] To Diarmuid's disappointment, Kayneth doesn't believe him in the slightest and constantly looks down on his pride as a knight. He constantly berates Diarmuid, believing that Diarmuid plans to betray him and take his fiancee, Sola-Ui Nuada-Re Sophia-Ri, by using his magical spot. He is also a coward who constantly make demands that would have Diarmuid betray his code and win by all cost. Despite his Master's distrust and lack of character, Diarmuid remains extremely loyal, though he fears that Sola-Ui's attraction to him will eventually cause him to betray his Master once more. He happens to be a submissive man as he constantly took abuse from his Master while offering little resistance to stop it.
Fionn mac Cumhaill
"Well if it isn't my king, Fionn mac Cumhaill! I can't believe we're going to fight together again. There is no greater honor! ...By the way, is the queen also... Never mind, it's nothing."[5]
Artoria Pendragon (Saber)
"Oh? That's... I see. She's an ally this time? Then I shall rely on the sword of the King of Knights."[5]
Alexander
"Th-The King of Conquerors!? H-how in the world did you turn into that after ten years!?"[5]

Role[]

Fate/Zero[]

Fate Zero Lancer

Lancer challenging Saber

Lancer is summoned by Kayneth El-Melloi Archibald in the fourth Holy Grail War instead of the Rider-class Servant, Iskandar, whose catalyst was stolen by Waver Velvet. The contract formed with Lancer is unique in that while Kayneth holds the Command Spells, the energy to materialize Lancer is maintained by Sola-Ui, Kayneth's fiancée. Lancer, on the orders of Kayneth, actively makes his location known in order to entice a battle, while Kayneth hides his location. Saber and Irisviel von Einzbern answer this challenge, and eventually Lancer attains the upper hand by successfully striking her with Gáe Buidhe.

Before their fight can continue, Rider interrupts the battle, then followed by Berserker, and Archer. Once Berserker begins to attack Saber, Kayneth orders Lancer to join him and finish her off. As it is against Lancer's code of honor, Kayneth uses a command spell to force him to attack. Rider, who holds similar values of honor to Lancer, decides to force Berserker to retreat, and threatens to face Lancer with Saber if Kayneth doesn't back down. Lancer is later berated for his actions, though Sola-Ui cuts it short by criticizing Kayneth for not actively participating. Lancer stands up for his Master, who is irritated by Lancer because he believes that Sola-Ui has become infatuated with him. Before the issue can be addressed, their base, Fuyuki Hyatt Hotel, is attacked by Kiritsugu Emiya and Maiya Hisau, who destroy the hotel's foundation and collapses it around the three.[9][10][11][12]

When Kayneth and the other Masters are offered a reward of extra Command Spells for defeating Caster, Lancer is sent to kill off the magic-wielding Servant, who at the time is engaged in battle with Saber. With Saber's help, he is successful in dispelling Caster's monster army with Gae Dearg, but abandons his duel with her in order to rescue Kayneth from Kiritsugu. Rendered bedridden and unable to perform magic, the injured Kayneth is forced to hand over his remaining Command Spells to Sola-Ui, whose infatuation with Lancer has escalated to near-obsession. Lancer is uncomfortably disturbed by how his current situation resembles his past life.

Lancer broken his weapon in order Saber to use her powerful weapon

Lancer broke his Gae Buidhe in order for Saber to use her Excalibur.

Lancer plays a key role in defeating Caster, when the Servant summons a giant monster to wreak havoc on Fuyuki City. He willingly destroys Gáe Buidhe in order to remove the enchantment inhibiting Saber's abilities, allowing her to employ her full power and destroy Caster.[13]

Lancer returns to the last location where he and Sola-Ui were supposed to meet, only to find Sola-Ui's severed hand. Lancer returns to a displeased Kayneth, apologizing profusely for failing to protect Sola-Ui. He tries to ease Kayneth's displeasure by informing Kayneth that Sola-Ui is still providing Lancer with mana, meaning she is still alive. Kayneth remains furious and openly mocks Lancer, on top of threatening to use a Command Spell he obtained from Risei Kotomine to force Lancer's obedience.

Saber and Irisviel later confront Lancer to finish his duel with Saber, but both are unaware that Saber's Master, Kiritsugu, had already formulated a plan to eliminate both Lancer and his Master. They have an equal battle for a time, though Lancer is unsettled by the fact that Saber is simulating the injury from Gae Buidhe. He believes it is out of pity, but she corrects him in that fighting with honor is the only way to draw out her true strength.

The battle ends when Kiritsugu, holding Sola-Ui and him hostage, coerces Kayneth into using his last Command Spell to force his Servant to commit suicide; Lancer is thus forced to drive Gáe Dearg into his own chest. The shocked Servant realises that he has been fatally betrayed by his current Master, just as his former master Fionn had caused his death during his first lifetime. Enraged with his one wish being denied again for others', especially his Master's personal gain, Lancer dies cursing the Holy Grail, Kayneth, Sola-Ui, Saber, Kiritsugu, and the world at large for his fate.[14]

Einzbern Consultation Room[]

Einzbern Consultation Room Lancer

Lancer appears in the Einzbern Consultation Room, a metafiction segment analyzing the story, that takes place after he dies and becomes absorbed into the Holy Grail. Lancer has amnesia due to the mental trauma caused by the various events of the Holy Grail War, only remembering certain key parts that gloss over his misery. He enters the dojo believing it to be a school of martial arts that he can challenge, but he is told by Irisviel von Einzbern that they provide consolation. Student 0, temporarily falling under his curse, consoles him on not being able to remember his Master and his wife, telling him to forget his painful past, including his relationship with Grainne. Though she convinces him that he must have died nobly in combat against Saber, Lancer wishes to progress a proper and noble Grail war to a romantic relation with Saber. Irisviel, acting as an agent for the Grail's corruption, brings back his despair by making him remember the true nature of his death before being fully absorbed.

Fate/Grand Order[]

Scáthach's Trial Quest[]

Diarmuid is summoned by Scáthach using Ritsuka's Magic Circuits to help them combat the remnants of those whose eras were incinerated by the Incineration of Humanity inside Ritsuka and Mash's shared dream. He helps them defeat the final remnant, an avatar of Artemis.

Valentine Event: Chocolate Lady's Commotion[]

EMIYA calls upon Diarmuid to talk about the dangers of chocolate when he fails to convince Ritsuka, Diarmuid recounts his receiving of chocolate in a certain Grail War ended with two people killing each other and him with stomach ulcers. Ritsuka remains convinced, so EMIYA and Diarmuid decide to use brute force.

After the fight, Julius Caesar appears and hints the mastermind behind the Choco-Servants is a recent Servant that he and William Shakespeare describe as a villain. He tells Ritsuka to chase after them but prompts EMIYA and Diarmuid to fight with him against Ritsuka after Ritsuka told him to stop eating chocolate. Afterward, EMIYA takes Caesar on a marathon run, with Diarmuid following.

Fifth Singularity: E Pluburis Unum[]

Diarmuid serves as a part of the Celtic army under Medb. He is partnered with Fionn mac Cumhaill, who constantly reminds him of his affair.

He and Fionn attack the rear base of the American Independence Army. Their soldiers are repelled by Ritsuka, Mash, and Florence Nightingale. The three defeat Diarmuid, but Fionn heals him and fights together with him. They’re forced to retreat when reinforcements from the Resistance arrive. Fionn tells Diarmuid to abandon their soldiers if they can’t comprehend the order to retreat. Before leaving though, Diarmuid tells Mash to consider accepting Fionn’s marriage proposal if he defeats her.[16] They return to the White House, the Celtic Headquarters, and report to Medb and Cú Chulainn Alter about their failure. After Cú Chulainn Alter warns them they won't get a third chance, Diarmuid and Fionn leave.[17]

The two confront Ritsuka’s party when they leave Alcatraz prison. Fionn reminds Mash of his marriage proposal. He and Diarmuid then fight the group; Fionn agrees not to let Mash’s beauty hold him back. Fionn asked Beowulf to join him, but he refused. They are defeated, and Diarmuid is left disappointed they couldn’t achieve victory. Fionn confesses to him he envied him, as he was trying to die for his love. The two then disappear together.[18]

Fate/Accel Zero Order[]

Diarmuid challenges Artoria Pendragon to a duel at the wharf. He goes there ahead of her and Irisviel, but he becomes trapped in El-Melloi II's Unreturning Formation. When the stone maze is disabled, he is left confused and confronts Ritsuka's party. El-Melloi II asks him to calm down while revealing his True Name and explaining they're not Kayneth's enemies. Diarmuid leaves with Kayneth after the latter agrees to meet with El-Melloi II later tonight.[19]

Meeting with El-Melloi II later that night, Kayneth and Diarmuid are both convinced by him that the Archibalds created Chaldea's technology thanks to Kayneth's leadership.[20] They then accompany Ritsuka's party to Gilles' hideout in the sewers. After Gilles is killed, Kayneth and Diarmuid leave for the church to retrieve an additional Command Spell.[20]

Eventually, they meet with Ritsuka's party again. El-Melloi II convinces Kayneth that the war is a farce created by his family's enemies, the Trambelios, in collusion with the Tohsakas, to lure him away from the Clock Tower and increase their influence over the Association. Diarmuid is ready to accompany his Master to London to stop the Trambelios, but Kayneth, but Kayneth orders him with a Command Spell to stay and continue the Grail War for his family’s reputation. He then lends Diarmuid to the group for that purpose.[21]

The group meets up with Kariya later then disrupts the discussion between Artoria, Iskandar, and Gilgamesh to kill Gilgamesh.[22] After Gilgamesh perishes, however, Lancelot attacks Artoria when Kariya collapses from expending too much magical energy. The group helps her fight Lancelot, but Iskandar soon stops the fight. He warns her and Diarmuid that they'll be his enemies if they ally with El-Melloi II. Diarmuid considers defeating Iskandar on Ritsuka’s order, but El-Melloi II reminds them they’re only allowed to defeat four Servants. After Iskandar leaves with Kariya and Lancelot,[23] EMIYA arrives to kill Irisviel. EMIYA is defeated in the ensuing fight, and he is convinced to join the others and go to the Grail's cavern.[24]

There El-Melloi II explains the Grail's corruption and is initial plan to safely dismantle the Grail. However, the plan was changed to destroying the Grail directly with the failure to recruit Iskandar. After defeating Hassan of the Hundred Faces,[25] the group moves on to Grail's chamber, where they defeat Iskandar.[26] After he disappears, though, El-Melloi II is ambushed and rendered unconscious by Lancelot, now Zouken Matou's Servant.[27] The others kill Lancelot, but that, unfortunately, triggers the Grail's activation. Zouken uses Irisviel's magical energy to hasten the process. A figure resembling Irisviel called Black Iri then emerges from the Greater Grail and proceeds to devour Zouken. She then goes to devour the group, saying five Heroic Spirits aren't enough to fill her. Artoria and Diarmuid hold her off while the others escape.[28]

Unfortunately, she and Diarmuid struggle against Black Iri, but thankfully the others return to assist. Artoria recognizes Waver Velvet (who joined the group) has become a Servant, which unbeknownst to her resulted from becoming Zhuge Liang's temporary vessel. After the group destroys Black Iri, Diarmuid hopes to meet Ritsuka's party again, suspecting it'll be when the world's at stake before disappearing due to the Grail's destruction.[28]

Summer Event: Chaldea Summer Memories[]

Diarmuid and several other of Ritsuka’s Servants are accidentally rayshifted to a remote island where they’re unable to contact Chaldea. He agrees with Fionn that the men should act discreetly with so many beautiful girls around to avoid troublesome incidents, noting that his liege understands himself well. When Cú Chulainn asks if the Fenian Cycle always begins with a skit, Diarmuid apologizes for his liege's behavior. He claims Fionn is only eager to deepen the bond with all the Servants here.

Fionn is the first to notice Blackbeard wash ashore when the latter returns from observing the island. Diarmuid thinks Blackbeard is someone who drowned at sea and drifted to shore. He considers giving him proper burial until Blackbeard regains consciousness. Blackbeard explains their location is still unknown, and it's nearly impossible to escape by ship. He then disappears in rage, cursing everyone for trampling on his dearest wish. Diarmuid strangely feels a deep affinity for him. After Scáthach alters the female Servants' Spirit Origins to give them swimsuits, Diarmuid denies Fionn's accusation that he'll use his Love Spot to his advantage.

At some point, Fionn, Diarmuid, and Cú Chulainn founded a secret village for the men.

When the crops are destroyed, Fionn uses Fintan Finegas to determine the culprit is a four-legged beast. He and Diarmuid then stand guard. But during their watch, they're both gored by a demon boar. Ritsuka, Mash, Scáthach, Artoria, Mordred, Kiyohime, and Marie Antoinette find them dying the next day. Artoria learns from Diarmuid that their killer was a boar before he disppears.

Event: Prisma Causeway[]

Diarmuid is a member of the Magical Gentlemen, alongside Blackbeard, the Phantom of the Opera, and Gilles. Unlike his fellows, he only wants to serve Magical Girls loyally.[29]

Ritsuka's party finds him in the Land of Snow and Honey, crying tears of blood as he tells all adult women to stay away. Diarmuid describes how deceptive and domineering adult women can be in contrast to Magical Girls' sense of duty and dauntlessness. A fight then ensues when he tells Mash and Chloe von Einzbern to never become adults.[29]

Final Singularity: Solomon[]

Diarmuid is amongst the "E Pluribus Unum" Singularity Servants to aid Chaldea against the Demon Gods Pillar.[30]

Valentine Event The Bountiful Chocolate Gardens of Valentine[]

Diarmuid helps plant cacao trees to produce more chocolate, even though it unnerves him that is's for the “evil” ritual of Valentine's. He nearly criticizes Semiramis for it until he sees one of her dove familiars. Cú Chulainn orders him to make scarecrows with the materials he got from the warehouse before leaving.

Later, Diarmuid, Cú Chulainn, Vlad III, and Karna find themselves unable to harvest cacao plants crossbred with mandrakes thanks to its scream. Semiramis told them the plants must be harvested today, as they'll likely wilt by tomorrow. Cú Chulainn go gets Nero Claudius and convinces her to sing by saying music helps plants produce a greater yield. With Nero's song countering the screams of the cacao mandrakes, and their ears protected by runes, the Lancers are able to her harvest the plants. Everyone soon finishes and Nero leaves, satisfied that she could help. Karna however points out that they have another field to harvest. Cú Chulainn leaves to go get Elizabeth Bathory.

Interlude[]

Twin-Spear of the Rose[]

Diarmuid confesses a portion of his Noble Phantasms' power is sealed. Romani Archaman deduces Diarmuid sealed his Noble Phantasms himself either due to an error in the summoning or a subconscious effort. He, therefore, suggests diving into Diarmuid’s mental landscape to solve the issue. While Diarmuid rejects it, Ritsuka accepts it and the group enters Diarmuid’s mental landscape.[31]

There, led by Diarmuid, the group partially undo the seal on his Noble Phantasm after defeating the guardians of his mental landscape, the seal on Diarmuid’s Noble Phantasm is partially undone. Afterward, they proceed to Fionnl‘s castle. There the Knights of Fianna explain that Fionn is waiting for Diarmuid elsewhere.[31]

After defeating the knights, the group confronts Fionn in the forest where Diarmuid died. Fionn accuses Diarmuid of being unable to truly get over his regrets and resentments over his death. He then reveals himself to be the manifestation of his resentment. Diarmuid defeats Fionn and accepts he holds some resentment towards him. Thanks to his decision to hold onto something precious to him, his Noble Phantasm is completely unsealed.[31]

Other appearances[]

In TYPE-MOON's April Fools' Day 2009, moon.cinemas.jp is a fake movie theater site listing a number of parody films:

  • Lancer was featured in Chariot Man: A True Tank Man (戦車男, Sensha Otoko?), a parody film of Densha OtokoWP. Lancer is the son of Sola and Kayneth and the older brother of Waver Velvet, he loves his sister. The story is expanded in TYPE-MOON 10th Anniversary Phantasm comic. Diarmuid was insulting Iskander's lack of gift knowledge when Waver was gifted with a Saber figure. The discussion came to an end when Waver dived to save the figure. Diarmuid still doesn't approve of their relationship. He accidentally trips but he was saved by his mother and his mother was saved by his father.
  • He was featured in Mysterious Planet An Sa Ra (不思議惑星アン・サ・ラ, Fushigi Wakusei An Sa Ra?).

In TYPE-MOON'S April Fools' Day 2015, Lancer is in a group called YARIO and is part of the Imperial Roma talent agency, his class is Farm idol unit (牧歌的アイドルニット, Bokukateki Aidorunitto?).

Lancer is called Diar-something-kun (ディルなんとか君, Diru-nantoka-kun?) in Fate/GUDAGUDA Order.

Abilities[]

Although Diarmuid is normally summoned as a Lancer, he also qualifies for the Saber class. While his Saint Graph and performance would be higher in that class, so would its summoning cost.[32] It is likely that it was Kayneth El-Melloi Archibald's original expectation to have summoned him in that form.[7]

During the Fourth Holy Grail War, Diarmuid's Master was formed by a two-person team. Kayneth El-Melloi Archibald was in possession of the Command Spells, while his fiancee, Sola-Ui Nuada-Re Sophia-Ri, provided the Magical Energy supply.[11] Diarmuid's energy backup was greater than Cú Chulainn's during the Fifth Holy Grail War. Thus, in terms of pure firepower, Diarmuid was stronger. However, this is while in Japan, where Celtic Servants don't receive a Fame boost. Should both of them fight in Ireland, Cú Chulainn would gain an edge over him.[33] If Diarmuid used every ounce of his Strength, he would unleash as much Magical Energy as the lightning released by Iskandar's Gordius Wheel when it moves.[10]

Combat[]

Diarmuid Ua Duibhne's basic parameters are not particularly high, but he excels at using battle tactics designed to trip up enemies stronger than himself. In particular, he is the natural enemy of those Heroic Spirits that rely on the powers of their Noble Phantasms to fight.[7]

On his right hand, Diarmuid wields the demonic spear Gáe Dearg, which is over two meters in length. On the other hand, he holds Gáe Buidhe, which is one-third the length of the other one. His swings cover a wide area, and their Strength and speed are equal to what would be achieved with both hands. Furthermore, because they are used with just one hand, Diarmuid can use unconventional moves that wouldn't be possible otherwise. Normally, a single spear has some limitations. Because of its long-ranged nature, a gap will inevitably appear between two attacks. However, in Diarmuid's case, he can use the shorter spear as a consecutive blow without using feints or leaving openings.[9]

Saber dodging Zero Lancer's Attacks

Diarmuid fighting Artoria Pendragon.

Having the ability to attack both at long and short range simultaneously grants Diarmuid an advantage over opponents wielding a single sword. However, in Artoria Pendragon's case, she is capable of turning the situation back in her favor thanks to Invisible Air concealing the shape and length of her sword. Despite Diarmuid being capable of blocking all her attacks, he is unable to find an opportunity to deal a fatal blow, so he becomes exhausted after fending her off for a while. For this reason, Diarmuid was forced to reveal his own Noble Phantasms to gain an advantage.[9] According to Sola-Ui Nuada-Re Sophia-Ri, Diarmuid's later decision to aid Artoria against Lancelot was correct. In order to defeat Lancelot, he had no choice but to team up with her. Taking into account that Diarmuid has good compatibility with Lancelot, Artoria and him working together would have defeated Lancelot with ease. However, Kayneth El-Melloi Archibald strongly disagreed with her. Having used his Master's Perspective to analyze Artoria's abilities, he determined that Artoria was completely beyond Diarmuid's capabilities, so he considered a failure having lost such a great opportunity.[11]

During Diarmuid's and Artoria Pendragon's rematch, the latter refused to use her right hand as a sign of chivalry. While this made her attacks lighter, the single-speared Diarmuid was still unable to land a single hit on her. Kayneth El-Melloi Archibald once again concluded that the reason for this is that Diarmuid was simply to weak, far more inferior to Artoria. Nevertheless, the battle between the two was more intense and fiercer than the first one. It was a direct confrontation with no plots or tricks involved. Driven by Strength and speed far beyond the realm of a Human, the two warriors surpassed the Speed of soundWP, approaching the Speed of lightWP.[14]

Gilles de Rais is able to fight fully-armed Diarmuid and one-handed Artoria Pendragon simultaneously. While the two knights are capable of killing hundreds of Gilles' summoned monsters, Prelati's Spellbook allows the latter to restore them indefinitely with its unlimited Magical Energy supply. Being forced into a battle of attrition with the odds stacked against them, Artoria decided to use Strike Air to open a path for Diarmuid to attack.[12]

During his fight with the Fairy King Ábartach, Diarmuid eventually confesses that he is unable to finish him off with his current Saint Graph. Mash Kyrielight also states that Ábartach shows no signs of disappearing, and that it'll be fiendishly difficult to defeath him.[34]

A woman who confronts Diarmuid gains a strong love affection for him. Effects are similar to those of Charm-type Mystic Eyes.

  • Knight's Strategy (B Rank): A battle methodology in which one grasps the flow of battle and induces the opponent to make a mistake, even without being a match for him/her in strength. A Skill not for self-strengthening, but to invite a check failure for the opponent. Consists of composed observation powers to wager on a momentary chance of victory.[2] During the Fourth Holy Grail War, Diarmuid was able to trick Artoria Pendragon multiple times, landing two hits with his Noble Phantasms.[9][10]

Noble Phantasms[]

Diarmuid's first Noble Phantasm is Gáe Dearg, a long red spear that temporarily nullifies the effects of Magical Energy.[3][2][7] This weapon grants Diarmuid a great advantage over Lancelot, as it can break through Knight of Owner's enhancements.[10][11][8][23] Furthermore, it can also nullify the concealing effects of Artoria Pendragon's Invisible Air or the protection of her armor.[9]

Diarmuid's second Noble Phantasm is Gae Buidhe, a short yellow spear that inflicts cursed wounds that cannot be healed.[2][7] Gae Buidhe was unable to take down Fairy King Ábartach.[34]

In combat, Diarmuid can wield his two Noble Phantasms tightly wrapped in amulet cloths from their tips to the handles. The cloths seal their abilities and act as a counter-measure to avoid revealing their True Name. Nevertheless, their abilities will begin working immediately after undoing them from their bindings.[35]

How to win the Fourth Holy Grail War[]

Depending on Diarmuid's strategy, he could have either won the entire Fourth Holy Grail War or suffered a humiliating defeat at the hands of Hassan of the Hundred Faces. The reason for Diarmuid's downfall during the events of Fate/Zero is that Artoria Pendragon's serene beauty and grace kindled his sense of chivalry.[7] Had Diarmuid never crossed paths with her, his Master Kayneth El-Melloi Archibald could have persuaded him to excute his tasks as "dirty chores" that had to be completed no matter the cost without the hindrance of his honor or pride as a knight. Had these conditions been met, Diarmuid would have undoubtedly obtained the Holy Grail following the next tactic. In a battle, missions would be considered accomplished if Diarmuid scored one hit with Gae Buidhe. By repeating this tactic over and over again, he would exhaust all Servants enough for Lancelot, who has good compatibility with all of them, to take them out. Once Lancelot was the last enemy standing, he could be defeated by Diarmuid.[8]

Development[]

Toshiyuki Shirai (Animator Director) first debut in episode 16. His young and vivacious pen draws Lancer and Saber's lively battle, as well as the anguished expressions on Lancer and Kayneth's faces. He said the plan for Lancer's scene was to have him turn into particles of light and fade away. But since he was the type of person who would have cursed everything as he died, Toshiyuki changed it so that he would be enveloped in black mist and crumble away. Even though it was a last-second change of plans, he said it was thanks to the staff who churned out terrific elements, it ended up being a memorable scene.[36]

Ryuji Higurashi said Zero Lancer was a lot easier to draw than Lancer for the Fate/unlimited codes.[15]

In the first draft of the British Lostbelt, Diarmuid was planned to appear as Cnoc na Riabh's second in command.[37]

Creation and Conception[]

He was a rare character to write for Gen Urobuchi because he normally views beautiful characters as either evil or stupid as an ironclad rule following that, if a man is too beautifully formed, his life would become truly miserable.[4]

Kinoko Nasu carefully picked out the tragic Celtic hero.[38] It surprised him that Urobuchi, who faithfully followed the beginning of Fate/stay night's story where Saber beaten the Lancer at the start of the story, but he also copied its ending where Lancer committed suicide.[39]

He was designed by Takashi Takeuchi as having the manner of an English rocker.

Atsuhi Ikariya was in charge of the character design for the anime version.[36]

Reception[]

Takeuchi calls Lancer as the faithful dog while Kayneth the stubborn man.[40]

Hikaru MidorikawaWP (Voice actor of Lancer) said Lancer had quite a few of scenes, but he was struck by the scene where he curses them as he dies (episode 16), and by the way he's shown as being so vigorous in the first half of the episode. He was so lively that when he's forced to kill himself, you feel sorrier for him. Midorikawa thought his suicide scene was handled delicately. There's an illustration for that scene in the original (the TYPE-MOON VERSION). But they presented it differently in the anime. Midorikawa was really impressed at how well they pulled it off. Midorikawa wished that they allow Lancer and Saber to go on fighting forever as Lancer seemed to be enjoying himself.[36]

Takumi YamazakiWP (Voice actor of Kayneth) said that if team lancer had applied themselves, they would have been the favorite to win the Holy Grail War.[36]

Toshiyuki Shirai said Lancer was really popular at Ufotable, with his, "I'm glad I met you!". He was nicknamed "Sparkling Lancer," and the day after he finished the keyframe art, copies would be posted at the animator's desks, and some of the girls even added world balloons that made him say "My Master!"[36]

    Comment for Diarmuid
    Takeuchi: At the time and place where I finished reading the first volume, as I thought "Uh-huh, like this", I was able to create the character's form. His clothing definitely has the manner of an English Rocker (a greaser).
    Urobuchi: For me, who has an ironclad rule that beautiful people=evil or stupid, he is a really rare character for me. But I really thought that if a man is too beautifully formed, then his life would truly become miserable.
    Takeuchi: Everything is best in moderation. He comes from the same Celtic mythology as Cu Chulainn, so his costume design follows the same lines.
    Urobuchi: Celtic bodies! For some reason, as it moves from the time of the Gods to the time of Mankind, simplicity is consequently lost and parts increase; what a wild thought!

    Diarmuid Ua Duibhne [Servant]
    The Lancer class Servant of the Fourth Holy Grail War, summoned by Kayneth El-Melloi Archibald. A hero of the Fianna, spoken of in Irish mythology. The story of his tragic love affair with Grainne would later become the model for the story of Lancelot and Guinevere. It's no wonder that the Berserker of the Fourth Holy Grail War has such bad compatibility with him!
    In battle, he wields two Noble Phantasms: the Crimson Rose of Exorcism (Gae Dearg) which temporarily nullifies the effects of magical energy, and the Yellow Rose of Mortality (Gae Buidhe) which inflicts cursed wounds that cannot be healed by any means.
    His basic parameters are not particularly high, but he excels at using battle tactics designed to trip up enemies stronger than himself. In particular, he is the natural enemy of those Heroic Spirits which rely on the powers of their Noble Phantasms to fight. Depending on his strategy, it's even possible that he could have won the entire Fourth Holy Grail War (or suffer a humiliating defeat at the hands of Assassin).
    Out of all the Servants in the fourth war, he had the second-worst compatibility with his Master. Though, if his very first opponent had been anybody besides Saber, he might have been able to fight in a way more in line with his Master's expectations. For you see, it was Saber's serene beauty and grace which kindled the flames of chivalry within his heart. Also, while he was summoned as a Lancer this time, and therefore carried the twin demonic spears Gae Dearg and Gae Buidhe, his legends also speak of a pair of demonic swords: Moralltach and Beagalltach. So, there was actually a decent chance he could have been summoned as a Saber. Or rather, that's probably what Kayneth was hoping for…

    ディルムッド・オディナ【サーヴアント】
    第4次聖杯戦争におけるランサーのサーヴァント。ケイネス・エルメロイ・アーチボルトに召喚され契約する。ケルト神話に語り継がれるフィオナ騎士団の英雄。彼とブラニア姫との悲恋の物語は、後のランスロットとギネヴィアの物語のモデルになったともされている。そりゃ~4thパーサーカーが苦手とするのも無理はない。
    魔力の効果を瞬間的に無効化する破魔の紅薔薇(ゲイ・ジャルグ)、いかなる手段でも回復不可能な呪いの傷を負わせる必滅の黄薔薇(ゲイ・ボウ)という二倍の宝具を操る。
    基本能力はさほど高くはないが、優位に立った敵の足許を掬う戦術に長けたサーヴァント。とりわけ宝具能力を頼みとする英霊にとっては天敵とも言える。戦略の立て方次第では、確実に第四次聖杯戦争を征していた(もしくはアサシン相手にあっさり不覚をとっていた)と思われる。
    第四次でマスターに恵まれなかったサーヴァント第二位。もっとも最初に戦ったのがセイバーでなければ、まだしも多少は従容にマスターの意向を汲んだ戦い方をしていたかもしれない。彼の胸に眠っていた騎士道精神に火を点けてしまったのは、セイバーのあまりに清澄すぎる器量であったのだ。
    今回、ランサーのクラスを得たディルムッドは、魔槍ゲイ・ジャルグとゲイ・ボウを携える槍兵として具現化したが、彼の伝承にはモラルタ、ベガルタという2本の魔剣も語り継がれており、セイバーのクラスで召喚される可能性も充分にあった。むしろケイネスはそちらを期待していたのかもしれない。

    [v] Fate/Zero material - Encyclopedia: Kayneth El-Melloi Archibald [Person's name], p.095

    Kayneth El-Melloi Archibald [Person's name]
    Kayneth demonstrated genius level talent during his time as a student. He was the youngest lecturer to grace the podium of the Department of Evocation in its history. His skills were not only in research, but also politics. Due to his great lineage, he had extensive connections. He was expected to form the greatest faction in the Clock Tower.
    He did not participate in the Holy Grail War due to necessity or duress, it was merely to add a splash of "martial prowess" to his life's story. That was it. Although he did not severely underestimate the Three Founding Houses, he did boast that Lord El-Melloi could overwhelm them by skills alone.
    The reason Kayneth brought many dangerous Mystic Code had nothing to do with research, but for entertainment value. Kayneth had talents not only in Spirit Evocation, but also in many fields of magecraft. He was really a man of many talents like Gennai Hiraga or Cao Cao.
    Kayneth even considered the Heroic Spirits ---- Servants, to be part of his stock of Mystic Codes. Because he never acknowledged the humanity of Servants, he did not understand Diarmuid's loyalty even until the very end. As a result, he effectively lost through self-destruction.
    However, Diarmuid was not choosey of his Master, he would acknowledge anyone who would accept his loyalty. As a result, he did not understand Kayneth as a person either. If Diarmuid really appreciated Kayneth's talents and experience, then Kayneth would have treated him with a much softer attitude.
    To Kayneth, unable to bond with his Servant was the second most unfortunate event at the worst. The most unfortunate event by far was encountering Emiya Kiritsugu. Although as a mage, Kayneth won by an enormous margin, as a killer, he was miles behind Kiritsugu. It was inevitable that Kayneth would lose in a melee such as the Holy Grail War. Because of Kayneth's sudden death, his many valuable research accumulated in the Clock Tower was unorganized and left unattended. Although they were almost lost, the most useless formal student suddenly appeared to save the day. He had an unusual talent of "could not put magecraft to practice, but ingenious in the reinterpretation of theories and classification of systems". This student eventually compiled a tome named "Lord Kayneth's Encyclopedia of Arcane Secrets", which laid the foundation for the flourishing of House El-Melloi and its descendants.
    By the way, in the Fourth Holy Grail War, the following strategy would insure the absolute victory of Team Lancer:

    • Kayneth must not let his Servant recognize such things as honour on the battle field or knights' pride. He must let Diarmuid realize that the Holy Grail War was merely dirty chores that needed to be done.
    • In order to fulfill the previous item, Kayneth must avoid any contact between Diarmuid and Saber with his best effort.
    • In combat, Kayneth must prioritize securing an exit. In a battle, missions would be considered accomplished if Diarmuid scored one hit with Gae Buidhe. Repeat this tactic, and exhaust all hostile teams.
    • Capitalize on Team Berserker. Team Berserker was a powerful enemy against all other teams, but Lancer had an advantage due to compatibility. It would be optimal to let Berserker destroy the other teams and reach the finale. He could then be defeated at that point.

    ケイネス・エルメロイ・アーチボルト【人名】
    学生時代から神童と謳われるほどの才能の閃きを見せ、降霊学科では最年少で講師の座に着く。学究の才能ばかりでなく政治的手腕も巧みで、家門の良さ故に有力なコネも大勢。ゆくゆくは時計塔内の最大派閥を形成するものと嘱望されていた。
    彼が聖杯戦争に参加する理由には必ずしも切迫したものがあったわはではなく、自らの経歴の中に「武功」として評価される逸話も欲しくなった、という程度のものでしかない。『始まりの御三家』の必死ぶりを侮っていたわはではなかろうが、それを才覚のみて圧倒できてこそのロード・エルメロイ、という自負があったのだろう。
    どちらかといえば研究畑の人間だったにもかかわらず、おそろしく剣呑な礼装を準備していたのは、単純に趣味の産物である。彼は降霊術のみなら、ず様々なジャンルの魔術で才能を見せ、その出鱈目な多才ぶりは平賀源内か曹操か、という有様であった。
    英霊を使役するサーヴァントという存在すらも、彼にとっては数ある礼装の一つ、程度の認識でしかなかったのだろう。英霊の人格というものを認める気が毛頭なかったが故に、ディルムッドの忠義に打しても最後まで理解を示すことができず、結果として自滅も同然の敗退を遂げる。
    とはいえ実のところディルムッドも、マスターとして自分の忠義を受け正めてくれる相手なら誰でも良かった節があり、ケイネスその人の人柄と向き合っての相互埋解を怠っていたのは事実である。もし板にディルムッドが、ケイネスの才能と経歴にメロメロになるほど感服した上で忠誠を誓っていたならば、ケイネスとてもうちょっと柔らかい接し方をしたんじゃなかろうか。
    まあ、サーヴァントと信頼関係を築けなかったことは、ケイネスにとって二番目の不運に過ぎず、ブッチギリに一番の不運は、衛宮切嗣と巡り会ってしまったことに尽きる。魔術師としての位階は切嗣よりはるかに勝りながらも、殺人者としては切嗣に及ぶべくもなく、聖杯戦争という殺し合いにおいての敗退は必定であった。ケイネスの突然の死によって、彼が時計塔において積み重ねてきた多くの貴重な研究は未整理のまま放置され、あやうくその成果は散逸してしまうところだったのだが、いちばん無能だった一人の元弟子が、『魔術の実践はからきしなのに、理論の再解釈と系統分類は天才的』という妙な才覚を持ち合わせていたことで、最終的には『ロード・ケイネス秘術大全』という一冊の魔道書として編纂され、すべての秘術はアーチボルト家の管理上へと戻されて、後の家門の繁栄を盤石のものとした。
    ちなみに第4次聖杯戦争におけるランサーチームの必勝パターンは……
    • サーブァントに戦場の誉れとか騎士の誇りだとかを意識させない。聖杯戦争は汚れ仕事の処理業務だと常に諦観させておく。
    • 前述の条件を満たすために、セィバーとの接触は極力避けること。
    • 戦闘においては常に退路の碓保を最優先し、ゲイボウを一撃当てたら目的達成とみなし撤退する。これを繰り返し、各敵対チームの消耗を待つ。
    • バーサーカーチームを活用する。他サーヴァントに対しては強敵でありながらランサーだけが相性関係で優位に立てる相手なので、可能であればバーサーカーを最終局面まで生存させて他チームの殲滅を任せ、しかる後に討ち取るのが望ましい。

    Zeroランサー - 時を超えて参戦する忠義の槍騎士

    第四次聖杯戦争、つまり『Zero』におけるランサーのサーヴァント。ルヴィアと同じく、条件を満たすと乱入してくる特殊なキャラクターである。プレーヤーキャラクターとしても使用可能だが、ストーリーは用意されていない。ただし、同郷の英雄であるランサーには敬意を表したり、第四次聖杯戦争で決着をつけられなかったセイバーとの戦いに勝つと「にれぞ待ち望んだ結末だ」と発言したりするなど、因縁のある相手には固有の反応を見せる。その性格は騎士としての忠義に満ち、主人のための勝利を第一とするもの。ただしその勝利は誇りあるものでなければならず、正々堂々と互いの武芸を凝らした戦いを望む。戦闘においては"破魔の紅薔薇(ゲイ・ジャルグ)"ど必"必滅の黄薔薇(ゲイ・ボウ)"という長短2本の魔槍を自在に操り、遠近双方の間合いで敵を圧倒する。

    まさかの参戦でした。第五次ランサーよりも描きやすく、わりとすんなり描けました。デモイラストがないので少し寂しいですが、あまりよい結末を迎えられなさそうなので、それはそれでよかったかも?それでも、第四次の『アンリミテッドコード』もやりたいですね。

    Q: Cu Chulainn and Diarmuid are both Lancers, but who will win in an honourble battle?

    Q: Cu Chulainn and Diarmuid are both Lancers, but who will win in an honourble battle? In their first engagement with Saber, Cu Chulainn was being pressed hard, but Diarmuid was able to pressure Saber. So... Diarmuid is stronger

    A: Diarmuid received more backup from his Master (magical energy supply), thus in terms of pure firepower, Diarmuid was stronger. In Japan, both of them received 0 geographical boost (from the cultural sphere), but if the stage was in Ireland --- Cu Chulainn would have an edge.

    Q:同じランサーであるクーフーリンとディルムッドがガチンコで戦ったら、 どっちが勝ちますか?初登場時のクーフーリンはセイバーに押しまくられ ましたが、ディルムッドは逆に押してましたよね?ということは ディルムッドのほうが強い……? (三重県/高原の清水)

    A:ディルムッドはマスターからのバックアップ(魔力供給量)が 優れているので、単純な火力勝負ならディルムッドに軍配が上がるかと。 日本ではどちらも地形効果はゼロですが、舞台がアイルランドなら ―――クーフーリンに一本かと。

    Master Session 002 - Lancer Side

    Midorikawa: Lancer had quite a few of scenes, but I was struck by the scene where he curses them as he dies (episode 16), and by the way he's shown as being so vigorous in the first half of the episode. He was so lively that when he's forced to kill himself, you feel sorrier for him. I thought his suicide scene was handled delicately. There's an illustration for that scene in the original (the TYPE-MOON VERSION). But they presented it differently in the anime. I was really impressed at how well they pulled it off.

    Yamazaki: I bet that if we'd applied ourselves, we would've been the favorite to win the Holy Grail War.

    Midorikawa wished that they allow Lancer and Saber to go on fighting forever as Lancer seemed to be enjoying himself.

    Questions 12: Diarmuid tastes so good. [ Causal horizon · All the evil of the world ]

    Gen: Among Fuyuki's local specialty of Servants, we carefully picked out the tragic Celtic hero, have him commit suicide through a Command Seal to ensure the ingredient's freshness. Our restaurant's main chef is very confident in and highly recommends this Lancer dish. There's nothing better than hearing that you enjoyed it.

    Q:「ディルムットうめぇー」[因果地平・この世全ての悪]

    虚:冬木の名産として名高いサーヴァントの中でも、特に悲劇性の風味が香るケルト英雄を厳選して使用いたしました。素材の鮮度を活かすべく伝統の令呪自害にて調理した、当店のシェフが自信を持ってお勧めするランサー料理。お気に召していただけたようで何よりです。

    Nasu: That also surprised me, it's something to be admired. Please understand the power of Urobuchi Gen, who faithfully followed the beginning of Fate/stay night's story. But... to think he also copied its ending! That person really is a demon! (Biting a handkerchief while crying)

    Q:「......セイバーのクラスには、開幕早々ランサーに不覚を取るというジンクスでもあるのでしょうか?」[ウェールズ・コーンウォールの豬]

    奈:アレはボクも驚いた。なんというセルフオマージュ.....!Fate/stay nightの冒頭を踏襲する虚淵玄の構成力を思い知ってください。でも......でも、オチまで踏襲しなくでもいいじゃない!鬼だよあの人は!(泣きながらハンカチを噛む)
