Role[]
Fate/tiger colosseum series[]
Saber Lion is Saber's third costume in Fate/tiger colosseum and appears in Saber's arcade mode. Saber Lion is brought forth during Saber's arcade mode in Fate/tiger colosseum as Taiga Fujimura's last trump card against Saber trying to destroy her Holy Tiger Grail. Using power "like the five Magics combined", she "creates" another Saber instantly, announcing that Saber Lion will be dining at the Emiya household the next morning. Saber vows to destroy the Grail, challenging Saber Lion to the final match. Saber Lion is defeated, and before Taiga can bring forth a Metal Saber, Saber destroys the Grail. Sitting peacefully at the breakfast table the next day, Saber discusses the meal with Taiga, asking Shirou for seconds. Saber Lion also wants more as well, shocking everyone with her presence.
In Fate/tiger colosseum Upper, Saber Lion is a playable character and a different character from Saber.
