Flag of Sincerity (誠の旗, Makoto no Hata?) is a Noble Phantasm belonging to every Shinsengumi commanding officer.[1] A trump card meant only for the final battle. The living proof that one fought for the Shinsengumi.[3]
It is the Shinsengumi troops' flag with the Japanese kanji "sincerity" (誠, makoto?) inscribed on it. Once this flag is raised, the Shinsengumi troops are summoned within a certain range of the flag. Each of the squad members is an independent Servant that do not have Noble Phantasms, and their combat capability is far from their best. Each of the squad members has an E- Rank "Independent Action" Skill and can even operate without a Master for a short while as long as they don't walk away from the user's flag.[3][1]
It is similar to the King of Conquerors's Ionioi Hetairoi Noble Phantasm. However, the number of deployed squad members is rather small in scale and the rank as a Noble Phantasm is comparatively low.
The squad members are summoned by the mental imagery of the imposing user, and their personalities and faces will change somewhat. For example, in the hands of Okita Souji, Hijikata Toshizo would be summoned as the wicked Shinsengumi while Kondou Isami would be summoned as a trustworthy Shinsengumi. However, there are some who will not answer the summoning if they are on bad terms with the summoner to begin with. Okita is a rather popular Shinsengumi whose call will be answered by many.[1]
However, this baseline doesn't apply when Kondou uses it. Every soldier gathers by the flag at their top condition, for maximum Shinsengumi hype. It's a super hip hip hooray Noble Phantasm for Okita, as it negates her poor health while active.[3]
In Fate/Grand Order, it isn't used as a gameplay Skill or Noble Phantasm for Shinsengumi officers other than Kondou.
