Frankenstein (フランケンシュタイン, Furankenshutain?), Class Name Berserker of "Black" ("黒"のバーサーカー, "Kuro" no Bāsākā?), is the Berserker-class Servant of Caules Forvedge Yggdmillennia of the Black Faction in the Great Holy Grail War of Fate/Apocrypha. She is one of the Servants summoned by Ritsuka Fujimaru in the Grand Orders of Fate/Grand Order.
Profile[]
Identity[]
Better known as the Frankenstein's monsterWP (フランケンシュタインの怪物, Furankenshutain no Kaibutsu ?). Based upon the artificial life created by Victor Frankenstein in Mary ShelleyWP's novel "Frankenstein: or the Modern PrometheusWP".[6][7] Victor sought to recreate the original couple described in the bible -- Adam and EveWP. Due to the limitations of man, he first built Eve, intending for her to give birth to the counterpart.[4][7] What started as a patchwork of lifeless flesh was given life by the energy harnessed from lightning.[4][7] Unfortunately, what awoke was not the ideal woman that Victor envisioned, but an abomination with the mind of an infant. Having no developed capacity for expression, her sense of morality was completely absent. After presenting the entrails of a slain dog as a gift for the master, she was branded a failure and disassembled, before being abandoned completely.[4]
Though still in pieces, she still lived, and over a period of time, was able to reconnect and repair herself. In her former master's absence, she came into contact with the outside world, and developed the emotions and feelings that could never be created in the first place. Thus she realized a great anger towards the one who abandoned her, but also admiration for the one who was effectively her father.[4] She doggedly pursued the man until finding him in Geneva, Switzerland, where she made the following appeal:
« I never wanted to trouble you... but when you created me, you made me as only me. I am all alone, and it's painful... it's agonizing... it hurts. So, please, just one more. Please, create one more of me. If anyone can, it is you. Please... give me a mate. » |
(Frankenstein) |
However, he flatly refused. Believing himself to have birthed of a hideous creature, it seemed unthinkable to even consider creating another. Though she pleaded, he denied her again and again, causing her to realize the truth and fall into deep despair. She decided that she must have him create another no matter what, so she killed those acquainted with him, those with no relation at all, and even his fiancee. He continued to flee from her despite that, denying her request to the end.[8]
Getting tired of her persistent chase, Victor fled to the South Pole, choosing to die over granting her one wish.[4] Dying in madness, he regretted her creation until his last breath. With the man she had looked up to gone and without anyone to hate, she parted from Walton, the man who watched over Frankenstein's final moment, and traveled to the uttermost north. She built herself a pyre, allowing herself to be consumed by the flames while thinking, "May my ashes be scattered across the seas..." That was the end of the monster born from the delusions of Frankenstein.[8]
Appearance[]
Frankenstein is a lovely young girl clad in a white dress with empty eyes, carrying a giant mace. Her eyes are normally covered by her long hair and only peek between the gaps. While Frankenstein is known for being a tall man over two meters tall, reminiscent of the portrayals of Boris KarloffWP and Robert de NiroWP, she resembles the Bride of FrankensteinWP at first glance. Due to her appearance, Caules is confused as to whether Victor Frankenstein had a twisted sense of beauty when looking upon her and calling her repulsive, or if she possesses an inconcealable foulness despite her external beauty.[8]
She gives off the image of a large-breed dog that, despite never wagging her tail and always making a bored expression, desperately approaches people. Like how she always kept close to Caules when she walked behind him.[7]
Personality[]
Mad Enhancement has robbed her of most of her linguistic ability, limiting her responses to head-shaking and grunts; the only time she was able to speak was when she was summoned[9] and when she was trying to kill herself along with Mordred using her Blasted Tree.[10] She can differentiate friend and foe, and she is able to communicate simple ideas. Due to a lack of skill in expression, and fearful of her own monstrous nature, she maintains a shy silence that conceals her high intelligence and empathetic capabilities, except for the emotion of sorrow.[6] She prefers to remain in material form, and she sullenly moans when forced by Caules to remain in spiritual form. Rather than running wild, she prefers to pick flowers in the castle's courtyard garden or stare at the sky. She dislikes the overly-friendly Astolfo, only rarely responding to his inquisitive attempts to speak with her out of annoyance.[9] Extremely mindful of energy conservation, she will turn off the lights in the bathroom if her Master leaves them on after use and directly unplug the PC's power plug.[11][4][6]
Her wish is to bring forth a mate that is the same kind of being as her. Beings like the homunculi of Yggdmillennia, although similar, are not good enough for her, showing lines that she refuses to cross in her own way.[8] The reason why she seeks a pair is not an instinctive desire, but a logical reason because she seeks a way of being a proper human. If her master succeeds in making her open her heart, there is a possibility of the Master being chosen as the "bridegroom of Frankenstein".[4] However, since she arrived in Chaldea and formed new bonds with Moriarty, Mordred, Babbage, and Ritsuka Fujimaru she realized that her search for a purpose in her existence had become the very purpose she had desired and came to the conclusion that her wish had already been granted. This revelation, according to her, has been transmitted to the Throne of Heroes itself.

Role[]
Fate/Apocrypha[]
Beginning Stages of the War[]
Berserker is summoned by Caules Forvedge Yggdmillennia with Victor Frankenstein's plans for a "perfect human" as a catalyst.[9] As the Servants' true names are to be shared, the inquisitive Rider of Black asks for her name, but she shakes her head. Thinking it is solely because she cannot speak, Rider asks the flustered Caules, and Berserker grumbles in displeasure as he speaks it. They leave together after the ritual is over, moaning in something close to an agreement. She remains angry at him for revealing her true name when even the Black Faction may later become their enemies in the Holy Grail War, and while she picks flowers in the garden, he apologies to her. She feels assured after knowing that her Master properly understands the Holy Grail War, and she agrees to simply focus on surviving. He asks her to correct the details of her legend in order to better understand her due to there being obvious discrepancies, and she bows her head earnestly at the request.[8]
She does not interrupt his tale, either because Caules gets it correct or she does not care. She identifies her wish of a mate, taking offense by shoving a flower in his face when Caules suggests something like one of Yggdmillennia's homunculi. She nods for him to relate his wish to her, but he does not have one at the moment. Initially displeased by the answer, he explains his reasoning, and she grunts to show that she approves to some extent. As he begins to leave, she gives him a flower. As she begins to rip other flowers to shreds, Caules is reminded of the part of the legend where she was said to have thrown the farmer's daughter into the lake thinking she would float like the flower game they were playing, and hastily retreats.[8]
Berserker is deployed along with Saber of Black to act as part of the plan to capture the rogue Berserker of Red. They encounter Rider of Red and Archer of Red as they act as Red Berserker's backup. As Archer retreats into the forest, Rider taunts the two, causing them to become angered at the insult to their pride. As Rider challenges them, they both charge at him. Despite having superior numbers, Saber and Berserker are unable to gain an advantage over Rider, who is capable of playing around with them, as they are unable to wound him due to his Noble Phantasm, Andreias Amarantos. Archer of Red also supports him, shooting arrows at Saber and Berserker. However, the battle is evened by Archer of Black, who himself supports Saber and Berserker and is able to wound Rider, due to possessing Divinity. Realizing that they are at a disadvantage, Archer and Rider retreat from the battle.[15]
Battle At Castle Yggdmillennia[]
Berserker participates in the big battle between the Red Faction and Black Faction, rampaging across the battlefield and destroying the Dragon Tooth Warriors of the Hanging Gardens of Babylon. Berserker faces one of the Masters of Red, Shirou Kotomine, who is accompanied by Caster of Red, but is actually fighting himself. Shirou goes to ask Berserker to join the Red Faction, to replace their lost Berserker, but Berserker of Black refuses, attacking Shirou instead. Despite seemingly only being a human, Shirou is able to match Berserker.[16] He, however, decides to eventually retreat, with Caster of Red using his Noble Phantasm, First Folio, to trap Berserker in an illusion of her past. Berserker though is released by her Master using a Command Spell, continuing to fight in the battle.
Berserker eventually faces Saber of Red, who is overpowering Rider of Black and the homunculus, Sieg. Despite her strength, Berserker is unable to match Saber, who is far stronger than her. Due to this, she decides to utilize her second Noble Phantasm,Blasted Tree, that allows her to release a massive attack at the cost of her own life. Despite knowing the cost, Caules painfully forces himself to allow his Servant to use this attack, even assisting her with Command Spells. Despite landing the attack on Saber, the Servant of Red survives, due to her own Master using a Command Spell to save her.[10]
Despite his Servant dying, Caules continues to battle in the Great Holy Grail War, as an important part of the Black Faction. A part of Berserker also becomes attached to Sieg, granting him the Galvanism skill and his own version of Blasted Tree.
Fate/Grand Order[]
Fourth Singularity: London[]
Frankenstein is a living person as a result of the distortions caused by the Singularity.[17] She is kept in a coffin inside Victor Frankenstein's manor, which Mordred finds while investigating with Ritsuka and Mash. They bring her back to Henry Jekyll's apartment.[18]
Jekyll inspects her to confirm she is indeed a living artificial human. She demands he apologize for touching her said inspection, as translated by Mordred. Jekyll apologizes for his actions, which she accepts according to Mash. Mordred tells her to stay when she and the others are sent out again.[19]
When the others ponder how to find the Helter Skelters' remote controller, Frankenstein reveals she can do so by detecting traces of the magical energy that controls the robots. She leads Ritsuka, Mash, and Mordred to the House of Parliament. There they encounter a group of Helter Skelters commanded by a larger one. Mordred protects Frankenstein while Ritsuka and Mash deal with the robots. With the destruction of the large one, the other Helter Skelters suddenly showdown. Mash then takes pictures of the large Helter Skelter as requested by Romani. She notices the manufacturer’s name on it, which absent from the others, that reads “Charles Babbage, AD 1888”.[17]
She leads the group again when the Helter Skelters are suddenly reactivated. Mordred soon suspects she’s misleading them this time. Frankenstein admits she doesn’t believe Charles Babbage is building the Helter Skelters to hurt others. Mordred convinces her to lead them to him, saying his actions now contradict her belief in his good nature. She leads them to Babbage, who reveals he is "B" of the Project Demonic Fog and a Servant that emerged from the fog. Mordred tells him to hear what Frankenstein has to say. Babbage prepares to surrender when he goes berserk against the group due to "M" using the Grail. Mordred tells Frankenstein that her words are useless, saying sometimes talks end in fights. After he is defeated, Babbage tells the group to head deep underground, where they’ll find the source of Demonic Fog: his Massive Steam Engine, powered by the Holy Grail, Angrboda. After Babbage disappears, the group return Frankenstein to Jekyll’s apartment before heading underground.[17]
Jekyll later informs Frankenstein that the group have successfully resolved the Singularity. Therefore everything will return to its original state, including their memories. Frankenstein then tells Jekyll something that he claims to understand.[20]
Event: Garden of Order[]
Frankenstein and Lu Bu are Servants missing from Chaldea to serve as tenants in the Ogawa Apartment. They share Room 601, which is brightly lit thanks to Frankenstein deciding to waste electricity after Nikola Tesla triggered a power outage at Chaldea with his Noble Phantasm. Lu Bu decided to help her since she looks like his daughter. Ritsuka's party evict the two for causing power outages. Upon returning to Chaldea, Frankenstein decides to converse electricity by unplugging every machine of unknown function.[21]
Final Singularity: Solomon[]
Frankenstein is amongst the "London" Singularity Servants to aid Chaldea against the Demon Gods Pillars.[22]
Summer Event: Dead Heat Summer Race![]
Frankenstein is complaining about the hear when she notices a flyer for Ishtar's race. Seeing it as a chance to beat the heat, she tries asking either Tesla or Thomas Edison to be her partner, only to find out they've already partnered with Helena Blavatsky. She then goes to London, where Babbage went because the staff complained that his steam makes the summer even hotter. Babbage agrees to be her partner but notes his steam would defeat the purpose of why she joined the race. James Moriarty hears their predicament and agrees to help for a fee. Frankenstein and Babbage both agree that he has an ulterior motive but understand they have no choice but to accept his help. Then, taking a page from Chaldea's guide on how to deal with evil Servants, Frankenstein asks Moriarty for help while calling him papa. Moriarty immediately agrees to help, elated to have a daughter. He then confesses he successfully modified Babbage with the ability to transform into a vehicle beforehand, having used hypnotism to erase his memories. He activates the transformation and starts boasting of their victory when Frankenstein hits him for modifying Babbage without permission. She forgives him, though.
Afterward, Moriarty gives her a swimsuit and modifies her weapon, causing her to class change into a Saber and become able to use regular speech. Then, changing into her swimsuit, Frankstein and her team meet Ritsuka, Mash, and Ishtar to officially register for the race. Babbage even goes into vehicle mode to show they have a vehicle ready.
At the racetrack, Frankenstein thanks Ritsuka for coming to cheer. She and Babbage both accept that their team is a bit shady with Moriarty in it. Ishtar then shows everyone the ritual tools, which are key to erasing the Singularity, and indicates a team is a legit participant. They’re designed to integrate into the vehicles, and any vehicle trying to race without them is automatically disqualified. After commentary on each team from Ishtar, the race begins.
A group of thugs soon appear before the racers. After the thugs are defeated, their leader, Atalanta, arrives. She considers the thugs to be her children to the racers’ confusion. Calling the wasteland the Atalanta Plains, she tells the racers that its roads lead to where she and her children planted Seed Apples. They are essential to her children‘s future, so she cannot permit them to be destroyed in the race. Everyone ignores her but soon learns she planted land mines to protect the seed apples. Atalanta is eventually defeated, and the racers move on to the next area.
The race brings everyone to an active volcano, where they meet Boudica at its crater. She offers to cook them something, only to turn hostile. Her hostility is due to what happened to Britannia and the fact she doesn’t have a playable swimsuit version this year despite modeling in one last year. She has become an Avenger, believing she must utterly break the racers’ spirits to protect her homeland. She will do so through a game of chicken to the mouth of the volcano, setting it up so the racers can’t cross the volcano until they beat her. The racers accept her challenge. Frankenstein's team soon gets cut off from the others by a stream of lava. Babbage says he can vent steam to fly them over it, but he worries that Ishtar may shoot them down for breaking the rule on flying. He turns off Locomotive mode and declares he'll vent steam to leap instead. With Frankenstein sitting on his head and Moriarty following from behind, Babbage continues the race, albeit at a slower speed.
Eventually, the racers arrive at a river. Penthesilea appears and explains the more beautiful they are, the faster they will go. She introduces them to the judges: Mister B, who judges their personal beauty, and Leonardo da Vinci, who judges their vehicles’ beauty. As the race continues, Moriarty modifies Frankenstein's Spirit Origin to change her regular swimsuit into bandages. This outfit change gets a very positive reaction from Mister B, which in turn gives Frankenstein's team a massive speed boost. Helena's team also gets a speed boost. While the other teams beat up Mister B (who turns out to be Blackbeard in disguise) for his double standards, Frankenstein and Helena's teams become neck in neck in the race. But near the end of the course, they see Penthesilea, who swam all the way there. Given the course's rules, Penthesilea believes her beauty gave her a boost in speed. Refusing to be considered thus, she tries to force the teams back to the start. Frankenstein and Helena's teams defeat her and continue the race. Frankenstein electrocutes Moriarty trying to give electrotherapy for his back pain.
The racers soon enter the fourth area, which has breast-shaped hills. Artemis and her copies fire upon them, warning they cannot go through Artemis Valley as they please. She will allow them to pass if they can find the real Orion among his copies and return him to her. Frankenstein catches an Orion, but she's disappointed that he isn't the real one. Orion tells her not to be sad and tries to flirt, saying she will grow to have a great figure. But to his disappointment, Frankenstein informs him that she will not grow anymore.
The racers reach the final area, a bridge over a large ravine, with the Ishtar Temple at the finish line. With victory on the line, Babbage activates his Explosive Steam Turbo Boost. However, everyone is sent plummeting when someone cuts down the bridge.
Summer Event: Death Jail Summer Escape[]
The racers find themselves at the bottom of the ravine. They’re attacked by the Hessian Lobo security system, which overwhelms them. Medb then arrives and arrests the racers for placing weird textures on her land without permission. The racers fall unconscious and wake up in Medb’s prison. They find out that their powers are negated within prison. Medb tells the racers that she locked their vehicles up somewhere outside the prison after sensing a strange power from them. The racers are then brought to their cells, where they soon meet Ishtar’s avatars. They then encounter Carmilla working as a prison guard. Carmilla determines they're too weak to escape and opens their cells.
In the courtyard, the racers meet Gorgon, who's only brought out of solitary confinement, exercise. She agrees to tell them about the prison if they help with exercises. However, the fight is soon interrupted by Florence Nightingale, who leaves after Gorgons says none of them are injured. Minamoto-no-Raikou deduces Gorgon is a projection of her real self inside her cell. Gorgon confirms thus then reveals it's impossible to destroy the prison’s barrier from either the outside or the inside. However, the racers can take advantage of Medb’s overconfidence in her Prison Field to find blind spots to escape. Carmilla then brings the racers back to their cells.
The next day, the racers still haven’t found an escape route. They see Quetzalcoatl training other prisoners to be luchadors After some sparring, the racers are sent back to their cells. They then follow Ritsuka’s advice to dig their way out of the prison.
However, the racers' tunnels all converge onto Gorgon's cell, chained there by divine steel. Gorgon asks the racers to stop Nightingale from spraying her with reptile sanitizer. But the racers remind her that they were never friends and that she only used them to vent her frustrations. Gorgon replies that she'll help them if they defeat Nightingale. After Nightingale is defeated, Nero Claudius determines they can use Gorgon’s acid to clear any obstacles that bar them while digging. Since they had a deal, Gorgon spews acid into special containers for each team.
Unfortunately, while digging, they discover the Prison Field extends underground. They return to Gorgon's cell, who seems to be enjoying their predicament. After venting their frustrations, the racers realize they have no choice but to kill Medb to disable the Prison Field. Gorgon reveals there was another prisoner who tried escaping by killing Medb. She defeated them and revealed she has a conceptual weakness to projectile cheese. But Medb is always protected by her warriors. Gorgon reveals Medb always takes a shower in her warden’s office at the same time every day. Moriarty, Edison, and Tesla point out they need someone intelligent as them and Babbage, who also knows the prison’s layout if they want to successfully snipe Medb from outside her bathroom window. Frankenstein notices Mysterious Heroine X staring at her really hard. Babbage tells her to hide in his body if things turn for the worse. Gorgon reveals there is a prisoner who knows everything about the prison, despite being in solitary confinement. She then gives the racers general directions to that person's cell.
They dig into the prisoner’s cell, who turns to be Enkidu in tight restraints. After Raikou cuts their restraints, Enkidu has the racers spar with them to see if they’re fully functional. Enkidu afterward then agrees to provide the racers with the necessary calculations. Carmilla arrives to feed them, and attacks everyone after seeing Enkidu unrestrained. After defeating Carmilla, Enkidu, Babbage, Edison, and Tesla make blueprints for their cheese-apult.
After building it with the materials Ritsuka provided, the racers use the cheese-apult to assassinate Medb while she’s in the shower. However, Medb kicks the cheese away thanks to training her body to automatically react to incoming cheese. Enkidu reveals there is another way to remove the Prison Field, one only they know of. They reveal the control device for the Prison Field is a stone above the ground. The racers soon realize it’s in the statue of Medb in the courtyard. Enkidu then reveals there is a prisoner who is master of disguise that the racers can use to trick Quetzalcoatl into disabling the Prison Field. The racers then dig their way to the prisoner’s cell.
They arrive in the prisoner's cell, only to find Carmilla there to their shock. They fight her, but in the midst of it, she turns into Nightingale. After being defeated, she reveals herself to be Yan Qing in disguise. He agrees to disguise himself as Medb to trick Quetzalcoatl into disabling the Prison Field in exchange for fighting him. But Raikou has him sit in the corner and lectures him until he gets sore. Afterward, Yan Qing (disguised as Med) gets Quetzalcoatl to disable the barrier underground, allowing the racers to reach their vehicles in the warehouse.
The racers escape to the outside, where Medb and Quetzalcoatl confront them. Medb deflects shots from X's cheese blaster and decides to execute the racers, accusing them of covering Connacht with textures of another place. The racers defeat Medb and Quetzalcoatl, then return to the race once they disappear.
After the race, however, an enormous storm moves toward the track as if it has a will of its own. Ishtar reveals this was her plan. Unbeknownst to the racers, their vehicles’ tires were carving magical energy into the Venus textures she placed on the land. She then reveals her temple to be a giant ATM called the Ishtar Quantum Power System. The racers confront her when the relics she had them install in their vehicle are suddenly removed. The relics converge at the Ishtar QPS, which gathers the magical energy expended in the race. At the same time, the relics were storing the heat created by the friction of the racers’ tires running across the Venus textures for each relic to reach an excited state. The purpose of all this was for Ishtar to create a new Gugalanna. After using the relics and the Ishtar QPS to do so, she declares she can use him to destroy the Singularity. Da Vinci points that would work, but it’d also destroy Connacht. The racers then fight Ishtar and Gugalanna before he’s completely formed, but they struggle against him. Quetzalcoatl then arrives to attack Gugalanna, revealing the her that disappeared before was Yan Qing in disguise. After she destroys Gugalanna, the racers and the race’s administrative staff get their picture taken by Georgios.
If Frankenstein's team won, they return to Chaldea to celebrate. Frankenstein asks Moriarty what happened to his evil scheme, something Babbage also wonders about. Moriarty admits it was completed long ago but assures Frankenstein and Babbage that it won't harm either of them. Frankenstein and Babbage are confused by this.
Event: Inheritance of Glory[]
Following the conclusion of the Great Holy Grail War, Darnic Prestone Yggdmillennia, still fused with Vlad III, remained in the Greater Grail. Stilling wishing to acquire the Grail, he manifested mindless replicas of the war’s participating Servants (except the Rulers) to fight endlessly in a recreation of the war inside a recreation of Trifas.[23][24]
Frankenstein, Atalanta, and Spartacus attack Yggdmillenia Fortress, where Ritsuka’s party is based, at night.[25] They are defeated by the group and disappear with the morning light. Due to Sieg's influence, they all rematerialize with a sense of self the following morning. Frankenstein attacks Fafnir (Sieg's main body) for being on the garden flowers. Sieg tells her that his body cannot move right now, so Frankenstein pushes it into a corner. Later that night, she helps defend the fortress from replica Servants.[26]
The next day, the group is joined by the rematerialized Astolfo, Siegfried, and Mordred. Achilles and Mordred nearly get into a fight but Frankenstein stops them by smacking them both, not wanting the flowers to be destroyed. It is then determined that the Hanging Gardens of Babylon is the enemy base. While agreeing with a direct assault, Chiron warns their chances of success will be low since twelve Servants will be guarding the Gardens. Avicebron advises against attacking the Gardens during the day like Atalanta proposed, as a flying golem he sent there on Chiron’s order was forcibly transported outside when night arrived. Chiron asks Sieg if he can move his main body now. Sieg answers he can fly at a minimum but warns he’ll fall if hit by a Noble Phantasm, especially Balmung. Mordred has Frankenstein team up with her, only hinting at how they'll reach the Gardens from the ground.[27] The next day, before the asssault, everyone eats strawberry sandwiches out in the garden.[28]
Later that night, Mordred amplifies her Mana Burst with Frankenstein's lightning to launch them both up toward the Gardens. Karna is in their path, so he gets smacked in the Gardens. Ritsuka's team is thus saved from him by sheer coincidence. Frankenstein recovers from the crash landing and is so upset that she verbally complains. She and Mordred then start rampaging while they wait for the others to come. The others soon arrive, and everyone enters the Gardens.[28] Inside they defeat Semiramis and Karna, who rematerializes with a sense of will come morning. They are then guided by Semiramis to where the enemy resides, the Grail’s chamber.[23]
At the Grail’s chamber, the group meets Darnic Prestone Yggdmillennia, the mastermind behind the recreated Great Grail War. Sieg explains who and what Darnic is. He tries to convince him to surrender, saying a broken Grail cannot reach the Root nor activate the Third Magic. Darnic refuses and reminds the group that he already controls 87% of the Grail. He declares that as long as he possesses the Grail, none of them will ever disappear, but they will once he’s gone. He then proposes using the Grail to incarnate them if they agree to join him. But they all refuse his proposal on their own principles as heroes. Expecting that to be their answer, Darnic connects to a replica of the Grail that emerges from within the Grail to Sieg’s shock. He then fights the group by having the replica Grail continually spawn replica Servants.[23] The group struggle at first since the replica Grail is using their class affinities against them, so they decide to do the same.[29]
After the replica Grail is destroyed, Darnic refuses to give up when he’s struck by Kazikli Bey from the supposedly sealed Vlad III. Unlike the others though, he retained his memories of the Great Grail War due to Darnic fusing with him during it. He eventually convinces Darnic to accept that his broken dream can never be recovered. After Darnic and Vlad disappear, Semiramis teleports the group back to the ground. On the ground, Frankenstein and Mordred disappear together.[29]
Event: Imaginary Scramble[]
Abilities[]
Frankenstein is an Artificial Human (人造人間, Jinzō Ningen?) as opposed to a regular Homunculus. While a Homunculus is created with Magic Circuits as a base body, Frankenstein is made out of human body parts, and is a corpse powered by magical energy.[1] Frankenstein is a relatively new mystery. As such, even with her parameters raised by Mad Enhancement, nothing about her particularly stands out, making her a suitable Servant for Caules, who possesses a low-aptitude as a Master.[7][9] Her true worth instead lies in a unique, innate skill.[9] As she is a Berserker meant to rage on the battlefield in madness without accepting orders and eventually fall, Darnic has little expectations of her in the battle plan of the Black Faction. He plans to use her to bring about massive destruction on the battlefield by having Caules use his Command Spells at the right time to strike up confusion in the Red Faction. Normally slow to respond in interpersonal interaction, she exhibits surprising agility and toughness in combat; in Berserk Mode, she executes commands with extreme faithfulness.[6]
Skills[]
Class Skills[]
- Mad Enhancement (D Rank): Raises the Strength and Endurance parameters, but language ability becomes simple, and continuing complex thoughts becomes difficult.[2][3] Frankenstein is a case of using this skill to strengthen a weaker Servant, however, considering her low specs, she is unlikely to become a significant threat.[30]
Personal Skills[]
- Galvanism (B Rank): Unrestricted conversion and accumulation of Magical energy and bio-electricity. Attacks without substance such as, Magical light, Magical wind, Magical bullets, etc can be converted to electricity and discharged into the environment, nullified. Also, depending on the amount of stored electricity it can be put to use strengthening the body and rapidly repairing damage.[2][3] She has the big advantage of efficiently replenishing her supply at an abnormally high rate, but since her mana supply is being taken care of by the homunculi in the Great Holy Grail War, that advantage is made useless.[7]
- Wail of the Falsely Living (D Rank): A shrill shout that can’t be known when will end and that increases while on Mad Enhancement. It deprives enemies and allies without distinction of their ability to think, and those without the capacity to resist will panic and become unable to breathe.[2][3]
- Overload (C Rank): An intentional boost up while being aware of suffering damage. In Frankenstein’s case, she converts the mana accumulated with Galvanism into more electricity than the maximum permissible level, and bounces the attack power of her Noble Phantasm up by outputting all of it. Since her body can’t bear it, she suffers damage.[3]
Noble Phantasms[]
Fran's first Noble Phantasm is Bridal Chest. Tree branch-shaped warhammer wrapped in discharged current. It works by making electric supply occur through the fin at the head of the original body and the fin at the rear part.
Fran's second Noble Phantasm Blasted Tree. full-power discharge occurred by thrusting Bridal Chest. Blasted Tree only reaches B rank by making a suicide attack, while the rest of the time its destructive power is at best C~D rank. Most likely, she would be incapable of winning in either a normal Holy Grail War or the Great Holy Grail War unless she had great luck and her Master had excellent judgment.[7]
Forms and Alternate Versions[]
Swimsuit[]
The arrival of the summer season!! "Hot! Sluggish! Lazy!" The bad with summer cyborg, Fran-chan, changes into a swimsuit to keep cool, and enters the race! Her partners are a suspicious old man of around-fifty and the trans-morphed Giant Robo-Babbage. It's like the Great Blockbuster Film of Summer![31]
Old man of around-fifty: "Our Fran is the number one cutest in the world!"[31]
Saber Fran, made into a sluggard because of the summer heat. But when the moment comes where she starts to easily go berserk, hahaha, whichever it is, it's truly a problematic matter, hahaha, her image is like a "languid, large dog affected by the summer heat", and so the old man of around-fifty supports her rampage. Only Professor Babbage is reliable! Steam, Electricity, Evil Schemes; with these three combined, this team has no weaknesses! I think! Also, because her Saint Graph has been tampered with, she has somehow become a Saber.[31]
Because it's summer, even the normally diligent Fran-chan shows the Master her laa-zy side. Occupying the Master's bed, and idling listlessly while indulging in the air-conditioning. The kind of level where you'd upload a photo on social media with the caption of When your pet doesn't want to move away from your bed, what should I do?, while grinding your teeth in frustration as you watch over the innocent Servant who wickedly wants to occupy your bed.[31]
Abilities[]
Skills[]
Class Skills[]
- Magic Resistance (EX Rank): Because she’s sluggish, she can’t resist much.
- Riding (E Rank) :Fran-chan can ride Babbage – Locomotive Form.
- Mad Enhancement (E Rank): Speaking, troublesome.
Personal Skill[]
- Summer Galvanism (B+ Rank): Somewhat different Galvanism for summer. Specifically, by receiving backup from Babbage, a steam engine is also sending power.
- Wail at the Intense Heat (A Rank): Fran-chan’s a bit hot, very sluggish, tired, and sulky.
- Moderate-load (C Rank): Since Overload is bothersome, she’s Moderate-loading.
Noble Phantasm[]
Fran's main Noble Phantasm is Bridal Blade. As a result of wishing to reduce the weight, the mace turned into a sword. After doing that, she jumps and pierces. That enormous electric energy, is enough to inadvertently stun the other party.
Fran's second Noble Phantasm is Skewered Plasma Blade. She rapidly fills the Bridal Blade with energy by vigorously spinning it.
Santa[]
Frankenstein (Christmas) (フランケンシュタイン(クリスマス)?) is a Fate/Grand Order Arcade exclusive event Servant.
Abilities[]
Skills[]
Class Skills[]
- Item Construction (EX Rank): This child has modified his arms and legs in a rather random way...
- Territory Creation (D Rank): I just made my own roost as narrow as a cat's forehead. I have no interest in the position at all.
Personal Skill[]
- Gift of the Man-Made Saint (A Rank): Heal the hearts of allies by delivering gifts. Even if it's man-made, its spirit doesn't change.
- Merrymaking is a Maiden's Pleasure (B+ Rank):Being a Santa Claus makes me a little, a lot, very excited.
- The Dream the Man-Made Bride Sees is ... (B+ Rank): She became Santa Claus, changed from a dreamer to a dream giver, but still a dreaming girl.
Noble Phantasm[]
Her first Noble Phantasm is Festival Flower Girl Present!. Blessing Noble Phantasm activated when floating Fran-chan is floating to the maximum.
Her second Noble Phantasm is Bridal Chest Santa. Slightly modified version of Maiden's Chastity in the style of Santa Claus. Every time she hit it, a bell would ring, stars would come out of nowhere, and candy balls that looked like walking sticks would scatter. In "Fate/GO Arcade", its basically used only as a normal weapon.
Development[]
Creation and Conception[]
She was created by Meteo Hoshizora and illustrated by Takeshi Okazaki for the original cancelled online game project.[6]
The description for her original design in Fate/complete material IV differentiates in that she was rejected by her creator when she professed a love for him. Fearful of her interests, her creator dismembered her and escaped to his birthplace in an Alpine village outside Geneva. Reassembling herself and tracking him on instinct, she began to recognize over time that though she was kind in nature, she was also an existence of cursed monstrosity. The understanding of the reasoning behind her creator's rejection drove her to anger and despair, and she took the lives of his family members, pursuing him across Europe in the aftermath. Her creator eventually underwent a mental breakdown and took his own life. At the loss of the subject of her love, hopes, and hatred, the automaton drowned herself in the icy waters of the Arctic.[6]
Frankenstein was illustrated by Takeshi Okazaki in Fate/Grand Order.
Her scenario writer is Yuuichirou Higashide in Fate/Grand Order Arcade.[14]
Comments from Illustrator[]
"This Frankenstein is one from among the 3 patterns I proposed. At first, she didn’t have a neck, a design in which the head looked like it was hanging down because of the metal fixtures of the collar and ears. Notes about the difficult to see eyes being mismatched in color, and the heart being inside the mace, were included in the initial draft. Thank goodness you have a neck in the end, Fran-chan." (Takeshi Okazaki)[3]
"The motif for Frankenstein’s ear parts is screws, because she’s Frankenstein’s monster. At the beginning, I though of attaching them to the temples but I’m glad to give it up. The third stage having bandages was inevitable too because she’s Frankenstein’s monster, so it’s unavoidable that her final Ascension art has an ecchi feeling." (Takeshi Okazaki)[13]
"Since players see the back view of the character most of the time in the arcade version, we aimed for a design with a cute back view. The character is in 3D and moves quickly, so we focused on creating a form that stands out from other characters. In fact, this version of Fran has a brighter expression and more variations than previous designs. However, since there haven't been many opportunities to showcase these expressions directly, I'm happy to finally present them." (Takeshi Okazaki)[14]
Reception[]
Yuuichirou Higashide thought Fran in “Capsule Servant” looks super cute as her head rolls off when she is defeated.[7]

Type: Anti-Unit Noble Phantasm
Range: 1
Maximum Targets: 1 person
A mace, war hammer, that discharges electricity that looks like the branches of a tree. The orb on the tip is her very heart itself. When out of battle it's always on her. The fin of the tail and the fin on the side of her head supply electrical energy. She can recycle the magical energy lost to her surroundings with high efficiency, and in environments with surplus magical energy like in the midst of combat by using Galvanism at the same time to imitate a Second Type Perpetual Motion Machine.
■ Blasted Tree: Thunder Tree of Crucifixion
Rank: D~B
Type: Anti Army Noble Phantasm
Range: 1~10
Maximum Amount of Targets: 30 people
Maiden's Chastity pierces the ground and the entire limiter is released discharging all the electricity.
A towering silhouette of a large tree rains down, scattering homing thunder. With a single enemy and short distance away, it can be activated without Maiden's Chastity.
Because of the limiter, releasing it means the power is tremendous.
However in this case the user will come to a complete stop. In other words "death." It is possible for this lightning attack to give birth to a second Frankenstein's Monster though her death means she cannot see the results of her actions.CLASS バーサーカー

Profile
The artificial life form created by Victor Frankenstein. Built as the Eve that forms a pair with Adam, because her expressing of human emotions does not function well, she was branded a failed work.

Region: All of Europe
Alignment: Chaotic Neutral Gender: Female
If it is for the sake of conserving energy, you can directly unplug the PC's power plug.
Level 2 Bond
There is quite a disparity between this Frankenstein and what was depicted in the novel; from the very beginning Victor aimed at creating Adam and Eve-- the original couple. In contrary to the Bible, he first created Eve and then thought of having Eve give birth to Adam.
Level 3 Bond
Yet, the starting point that should have been Eve - an artificial life form built by tying together dead bodies - was a failed work. The suppressing, connection of emotions did not work well, and before the brutality of slaughtering a stray dog without hesitation and presenting its entrails as a gift, Victor became frightened and fled.
Level 4 Bond
However, after being left behind, Frankenstein's intellect and emotions kept being polished as she got in contact with the world, until finally reaching the point where she felt anger towards Victor for abandoning her. Getting tired of her persistently chasing him all the way to the South Pole, Victor chose his own death.
Level 5 Bond
The reason why she seeks a pair is not an instinctive desire, but a logical-- in other words, because she seeks a way of being of as a proper human. If he succeeds in making her open her heart, there is a possibility of the Master being chosen as the "bridegroom of Frankenstein".

フランケンシュタインは小説で描かれたものとはかなりの差違があり、ヴィクターは当初からアダムとイヴ――原初のつがいを創造することを目的としていた。聖書とは逆に、彼はまずイヴを創造し、イヴにアダムを産ませることを思いついた。
アンロック条件:絆レベルを3にすると開放
ところが、取っ掛かりであるはずのイヴ――死体を繋ぎ合わせて作った人工生命体は失敗作だった。感情の制御、繋がりが上手くいかず、野犬を躊躇いなく惨殺し、臓物を贈り物として差し出す凶暴性に、ヴィクターは怯えて逃亡した。

だが、置き去りにされたフランケンシュタインの知性や情緒は世界に触れる内に磨かれていき、遂には見捨てたヴィクターに対して怒りを覚えるようになった。
南極まで執拗に追跡した彼女に、ヴィクターは疲れ果てたと自ら死を選ぶ。
アンロック条件:絆レベルを5にすると開放
彼女がつがいを求めるのは、本能的欲求ではなく論理的――つまり、真っ当な人間としての在り方を求めるが故である。心を開かせることに成功すれば、それこそ「フランケンシュタインの花婿」としてマスターが選ばれる可能性がある。

Frankenstein, Frankenstein's Monster is the cyborg that appears in Mary Shelley's novel. Normally slow to respond in interpersonal interaction, she exhibits surprising agility and toughness in combat; in Berserk Mode, she executes commands with extreme faithfulness. Due to a lack of skill in expression, and fearful of her own monstrous nature, she maintains a shy silence that conceals her high intelligence and empathetic capabilities (except for the emotion of sorrow). Extremely mindful of energy conservation; if her Master leaves the lights on in the bathroom after use, she will turn it off for him.

Skills
- Scream of the False Lifeform (Scream of Terror)
The Servant is capable of emitting an immense scream, temporarily robbing enemies and allies alike of their ability to think and respond; those who do not expect it or are incapable of the mental resilience to withstand it may temporarily lose their ability to breathe. The effectiveness of the skill is increased with activation of Mad Enhancement. Incidentally, in Berserk Mode, the Servant expresses approval with the phrase "Yaaa," and disapproval with the phrase "Uiii," but it is impossible to discern anything but madness.
- Galvanism
Unrestricted conversion and accumulation of magical energy and bio-electric energy. Thaumaturgical attacks involving no material existence -- wind manipulation, energy bullets, beam attacks -- are converted to electricity and rendered without effect, discharged into the environment. Absorbed electricity may be used to implement rapid self-repair and physical attribute reinforcement. Like PhlogistonWP and Ether, the concept of Galvinism, which explains organic activity as a bio-electric process, falls under the domain of Alchemy.
Noble Phantasm
- Bridal Chest: A Maiden's Chastity Strength: Medium
A large mace used by the Servant as a striking weapon, which gives off discharges electricity with the appearance of tree branches. In reality, the Servant's reactor core / heart is contained within the large spherical bulb, and the fin on the opposite end remotely transfers energy to the Servant's main body. With high efficiency, the implement continuously gathers energy wasted by the Servant or present in her surroundings, and is constantly manifested outside of combat to power her. If exposed to a high-magical energy environment -- for example, in the midst of combat -- the function of Galvinism and the Bridal Chest combine to qualify the Noble Phantasm as a "Type II Perpetual Motion Engine."
- Blasted Tree: The Lightning Tree of Crucifixion Strength: Large
Use of the Bridal Chest in a suicide move -- the fin of the mace is planted into the ground, and the reactor's limiters are completely released, discharging all gathered electricity into the surrounding environment as an area of effect attack with target homing; momentarily giving the Noble Phantasm in the silhouette of a towering tree. May be implemented from the Servant's own body rather than the Bridal Chest if the enemy force is a single opponent within short range. Use of this technique results in permanent deactivation, but there is a low probability that a second Frankenstein's Monster will be materialized in the wake of the attack. However, in death, it would be impossible for the Servant to witness the results of her actions.

[] Fate/Apocrypha material - Encyclopedia: Berserker of “Black” [Servant], p.163 [T] Berserker of “Red” [Servant]
One of the Servants of the Black camp. Her true name is Frankenstein. Her source, it goes without saying, is Mary Shelly’s novel “Frankenstein: or the Modern Prometheus”.
She is a girl clad in a wedding-dress-like outfit. I think it’s very natural for people to point out “But Frankenstein was male in the novel!”, but her true role is to give birth to Adam… a male artificial human.
She is an artificial human—a homunculus made by Victor Frankenstein, a genius scientist and alchemist, using the power of lightning.
Perhaps due to being summoned by Caules, whose abilities were inferior compared to the rest of the Black camp, she isn’t that powerful as a Servant even with the Mad Enhancement of a Berserker.
Due to her unique skill “Galvanism”, she has the big advantage of efficiently replenishing her prana supply at an abnormally high rate, but since her prana supply is being taken care of by the homunculi in this war, that advantage is made useless. Her Noble Phantasm also only reaches B rank by making a suicide attack, while the rest of the time its destructive power is at best C~D rank. Most likely, she would be incapable of winning in either a normal Holy Grail War or the Great Holy Grail War unless she had great luck and her Master had excellent judgement.
Excluding Siegfried, she is the first Servant to leave the stage. Even her last act of unleashing her Noble Phantasm with the remainder of her power mustered forth should have ended up being meaningless, but—
Those who have read the final volume will know what happened regarding her afterwards. The Noble Phantasm she used bounced over to a new owner, saved the world, and brought Caules and the others victory.
She gives off the image of a large-breed dog that, despite never wagging her tail and always making a bored expression, desperately approaches people. Like how she always kept close to Caules when she walked behind him.
Due to having been rebuked for her lack of emotion, she tries to be sensitive of people’s feelings. When she noticed that Caules was painfully forcing himself to speak coldly as he used his final Command Spell, Frankenstein realized the seemingly miraculous fact that “someone would feel sorrow over her death”. That was, without a doubt, the first precious and beautiful experience in her entire life.
There is an extremely low possibility of a second Frankenstein being born due to her Noble Phantasm “Blasted Tree: Lightning Branch of Crucifixion”.
She drew out that possibility with her strong will.
Thought this is a digression, I think Fran-chan in “Capsule Servant” looks super cute as her head rolls off when she is defeated, but what do you think?“黒”のバーサーカー【サーヴァント】
