Uesugi Kenshin (上杉謙信?), Class Name Ruler (ルーラー, Rūrā?), is a Ruler-class Servant summoned by Ritsuka Fujimaru in the Grand Orders of Fate/Grand Order.
Profile[]
Identity[]
The War God of Echigo, Uesugi Kenshin who was known as a righteous warlord in an age of wars.
As the arbitrator of the battlefield, she wields the power of the literal BishamontenWP. Was she really the incarnation of a god and Buddha and that is why her way of being was so foreign to the world of men?
The anecdote where she sent salt to her longtime enemy, Takeda Shingen of Kai province, and the Battles of Kawanakajima she fought against that very Shingen are very famous.
"While I may be Bishamonten, you don't mind if I get serious, right?"
She never managed to understand the hearts of men while she was alive, but now that she has descended as an arbitrator, she seems to have started to display rich, human-like expressions somehow.
It is unknown how much she had lost until she became able to understand simple things such as laughter, joy, anger, and sadness. Still, even so, it was probably meant to be for her to arrive here.
What divine arrangement, no, what irony is it that as a result of elevating her status to that of an inhuman, god-like being, she obtained human emotions?
This is why she is strangely often playful in her third ascension. She's brimming with curiosity and has even started learning about conversing in English.
As a Ruler, she materializes not as Nagao Kagetora, but in the form of the arbitrator of the battlefield that she couldn't attain originally. Perhaps that's why she refers to herself as Uesugi Kenshin.
"Biten Eight Forms! Shiranui Blade!"[1]
Born as they desired, lived contrary to their wishes, and died in a way she didn't want to.
O tho who took on human flesh as desired by those who wished for salvation from the world of the latter day of the law and for the power of the gods and Buddha to be brought to the world of men. Did the heavens really grant their wish or not?
Laughing, laughing, laughing and laughing.
The father's face distorts and the mother is driven insane as the baby just laughs at them. She who can not comprehend humans wishes to at least understand the principles of the world of men and becomes a protector of the people without ever understanding them.
What was I born for and what did I live for?
She never gets her answer, never becomes what they wished her to be, and never obtains anything.
Well, it's not like that never happened to anyone before so with that said, after some twists and turns, she became the true incarnation of Bishamonten.
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
The prayers that wished for her to turn into this have finally reached the heavens. But is this the form they wished for?
────No one can tell anymore.[1]

Relationships[]
First Ascension[]
- Takeda Harunobu
- "I never thought I could cross swords with that Harunobu again. As I thought, only that man can contend with me face-to-face. Still, I wonder why I feel like smacking him when I see Harunobu...aah! Since he is already here and all, let's go and smack him!"[2]
- Oda Nobunaga
- "How's this lance, Nobunaga? Yes, as you can see, it can be used as a cannon as well. I thought projectile weapons were somewhat lacking since they won't hit, but if that is the case, you can just blow away the surrounding area. Like this, it won't lose out to your matchlocks either. Hah, if it's fine with you, how about we exchange some shots? "[2]
- Okita Souji Alter
- "My status is slightly different from yours who is a Guardian, but I feel your way of being is close to the righteousness I believe in. By the way, was it Rengoku? Your demonic sword. How about locking blades with my Shiratachi? While I also want to test which one is stronger, how do I say this...I'm curious about that sword."[2]
- Minamoto-no-Tametomo
- "My! So you were that Chinzei Hachirō who's unmatched for bravery! Usually, I pay no mind to arrows, but if they are shot by your bow, as expected, I won't be able to afford such leniency. Since it's such a rare opportunity, let me offer you a drink...let's leave it for another time? Alright..."[2]
- Himiko
- "An arbitrator of yore, Himiko...should we call you my precursor as a Ruler? Your fighting style of going straight at your opponents and beating them up - which was all it took for you to gain control of Yamataikoku - is truly splendid. Truly a legendary warlord renowned in the Land of the Rising Sun. Eh? You're not a warlord, but a priestess? No, you might as well be a warlord at this point. "[2]
- Quetzalcoatl (Santa)
- "A Santa doing Samba? J-just what is this arbitrator... Still, even I, a newbie arbitrator, can feel her extraordinary vigor as if a jolt of electricity is prickling my skin! Yes? Since we have the opportunity, how about a go in the ring? That's fine with me! Echigo's Wrestler, Kenshin Mask shall take you on! Come, ring the bell~~!!"[2]
Third Ascension[]
- Takeda Shingen
- "Hmm, he often talks about Fūrinkazan. Harunobu, no, let me call him Shingen. If he's this well-prepared, he might be able to handle my full strength. Mm, I'm getting excited. Let's go and try out my blade on him and his war fan."[2]
- Sen-no-Rikyu
- "It is truly an honor to receive an invitation from the Tea Saint. I'm ignorant of tea etiquette, but it is important to give things a try. I'm looking forward to the snacks too. So, this is the so-called thatched hut tearoom. Now then, please excuse me───Rikyū-dono, the entrance is way too narrow. Why can't they make it wider?"[2]
- Mysterious Ranmaru X
- "Oh, if it isn't Nobunaga's page. ...Huh? Space Kenshin? What are you talking about? No matter how you look at me, I'm the War God of Echigo, Uesugi Kenshin. Aah, don't go touching it as you please. These aren't cannons or any such things. These are Bishamonten's Treasured Pagodas. ...The beam sword in my hand? It is Bishamonten's Flame. How disrespectful."[2]
- Hijikata Toshizou
- "The Demon of the Battlefield. Despite being a mortal, he upholds himself to the flag of unbreakable sincerity, continuing to move forward single-mindedly. What does he see on that fierce path he travels? ...By the way, that takuan. Isn't there way too much of it for a snack? As expected, even a god of war is a little put off by it."[2]
- Okita J Souji
- "Aah, the one in the swimsuit over there, Okita or who. Can I have some of your time? About those armaments on your back that let you fly around in the sky. I would like to ask you to try flying around over there. Yes, as you can see I'm still not that great with projectile weapons so I would like you to serve as my practice target. Of course, counterattacking is perfectly fine so if you see an opening, you're welcome to aim for my life."[2]
- Sakamoto Ryouma
- "The Dragon of the Restoration, Sakamoto Ryouma. It does not bother me at all, but I feel like this title overlaps with 'The Dragon of Echigo' or perhaps that it gives others the impression that it's somewhat higher in scale nuance-wise. Yes, I, Bishamonten, am not bothered at all by this."[2]
- Senji Muramasa
- "So you're that famous swordsmith. While I would be grateful if you could temper my Shiratachi as well... Yes, I'm not sure about its name, but it is a very special blade. If you don't mind, I'll pull it out of the heavens so please wait a for a moment. Ah...the ceiling is in the way. I'll blow it awa- Eh? You're asking me to go away? T-this Bishamonten? O-oh my-nya..."[2]
