Sakata Kintoki (坂田金時?), Class Name Berserker (バーサーカー, Bāsākā?), is a Berserker-class Servant summoned by Ritsuka Fujimaru in the Grand Orders of Fate/Grand Order.
Profile[]
Identity[]
Known by his famous childhood name KintarouWP (金太郎WP, Kintarō?), he was one of Minamoto no Raikou's Four Heavenly Kings. There are many legends about him, but no historical records to support them. He is the son of Raijin as a red dragon, and his mother is a cannibal mountain witch living on Mount AshigaraWP (足柄山, Ashigara-yama?). Kintoki was raised with the strength of a monster, fighting and killing beasts in the mountain. Eventually, his mother, an ogress, was vanquished by Usui Sadamitsu, but Kintoki, taken to Minamoto no Raikou, was taught the way of man, and became his retainer. He participated in many hunts for demons as one of the Four Heavenly Kings of Yorimitsu. He is famous for the episode of the battle against Shuten-douji on Ooe-yama, where he disguised himself as mountain priest, drugged Shuten-douji's alcohol and struck him down. In that episode, he fell in love with the demon Shuten-douji disguised as a beautiful girl, and then had to carry this burden for the rest of his life.[1]
Appearance[]
Golden (ゴールデン, Gōruden?) is his given nickname. He has beautiful blue eyes under his sunglasses.
Personality[]
Kintoki is wild and arrogant, but firm and righteous. As he is particularly kind to mothers and children, he is a hero to all children. He's aware that he isn't much of a thinker and would much rather be pointed in the direction of evildoers to beat down than engage in philosophy or tactics. At the same time, he can be surprisingly perceptive and is good at reading people's intentions. Despite his lacking education and childish mindset, he displays a sort of wild wisdom, and he understands his boss/"mother" Raikou's quirks and difficulties very well. He is very bad at love, which is his biggest weak point.[1]
Initially a barbarian hero, the typical cycle of "Laugh, rampage, eat, sleep" is empty to him. By the end of Heian-kyō he comes up with an new purpose, he'll be a hero for people, defending not just the lives of humans, but their very way of life.
Relationships[]
- Shuten-douji
- They had shared a deep history in their previous lives.[2]
- Minamoto no Raikou
- They had shared a deep history in their previous lives. Being his lord, Raikou also acts as his parent. There was a time when Kintoki considered the latter as his stepparent upon leaving the mountain.[2]
Role[]
Fate/Grand Order[]
Hell Realm Mandala, Heiankyo - Flash of Roaring Thunder[]
Kintoki was chosen as the Servant-less eighth Master due to unknown circumstances. However, he plays a pivotal role in destroying the Hell Realm Mandala.
Abilities[]
Kintoki's Noble Phantasms are Golden Spark and Golden Eater.
He is a Heroic Spirit who is renowned for his strength and martial prowess, being able to wrestle giant beasts to death while still a child and was the chief of the Four Heavenly Kings. Due to his low rank of Mad Enhancement, he is able to retain his ability to think, allowing him to conduct complex strategies if directed by a competent Master and was clever enough to strike down the fearsome Shuten-douji after drugging her alcohol albeit this cost him to carry the burden of killing the one he came to genuinely love for the rest of his life.
Skills[]
Mad Enhancement (狂化, Kyōka?): E
Normally does not receive the benefits of Mad Enhancement. In exchange, he retains a normal capacity to think. A Luck Check is performed whenever damage is received, failure results in him going wild and Stats excepting MGI and LCK being raised. On that occasion, his whole body becomes red.
Animal Communication (動物会話, Dōbutsu Kaiwa?): C
Communication of intention with animals that don't possess words. Since it's not like the intellect of the animals improve, very complex nuances are not conveyed. Even then, maybe because Kintoki's mental structure is close to animals, they strangely get into a mutual understanding.
Natural Body (天性の肉体, Tensei no Nikutai?): C
Possesses a perfect body as a living being from birth. The owner of this Skill is treated as if his STR is always Rank-Up. Furthermore, even without training his muscles are brawny and his body shape doesn't change no matter how much calories he intakes.
Divinity (神性, Shinsei?): D
Divine Spirit aptitude that comes from origins as a thunder deity's son. Because his mother was a man-eating mountain witch, the rank is low. It will rarely activate as resistance in regards to the attack of Heroic Spirits that possess thunder deity-lineage roots and legends.[1]
Development[]
Creation and Conception[]
Sakata Kintoki was designed by Jin Haganeya and character designed by Raita Honjou for the canceled Fate/Apocrypha online game project, which was not included in the final version. He was collected along with the other thirteen initial Servant designs in Fate/complete material IV Extra material. The project was revived in novel format afterwards, but he was cut, in favor of Frankenstein and Spartacus.
Yuuichirou Higashide said that Kintoki as an enemy, he's a far too nice guy to fight, and as an ally, he's very reliable. Furthermore, one aspect of the plot that was decided near the beginning was that "Frankenstein will use her Noble Phantasm and revive", so Frankenstein had to take up the slot for the ally Berserker, causing Kintoki to be discarded.[3]

Noble Phantasm
- Golden Eater
A huge Masakari axe that carries the power of the thunder deity and cannot be handled without Kintoki's superhuman strength. It is loaded with 15 cartridges with thunder put into them and destructive power is raised with their detonation. Probably there is a different true name, but Kintoki activates it with this name.
- Golden Spark
An Anti-Army Noble Phantasm usage in which a flash of lightning is released from Golden Eater and mows down the surrounding enemies. It activates by using 3 of the 15 loaded cartridges. The fact that is activates with a suspicious true name is just like Golden Eater.

金時の怪力なくしては扱えない、雷神の力を宿す巨大マサカリ。雷を込めたカートリッジが15発装填されており、その爆発で破壊力を高める。おそらく真名は別にあるのだが、金時はこの名前で発動させられる。

"黄金喰い"から稲妻を放出して周囲の敵を薙ぎ払う、対軍宝具としての使用法。15発装填されているカートリッジのうち、3発分を使用して発動する。真名が怪しいのに発動するのは、黄金喰いと同じ。ゴールデン理不尽。

The Servants who experienced the bitterness of being discarded in the transition from the proto-version of “Apocrypha” featured in “Complete material IV” to the official light novels.
The one who disappeared first was Sakata Kintoki. As an enemy to the protagonist side, he’s a far too nice guy to fight, and as an ally, he’s very reliable. Furthermore, one aspect of the plot that was decided near the beginning was that “Frankenstein will use her Noble Phantasm and revive”, so Frankenstein had to take up the slot for the ally Berserker, causing Kintoki to be discarded. The next one to be cut was Musashibou Benkei. In his case, I briefly outlined him as a Servant who’s mentality was very complex which made him hard to act as a partner to a Master, but the Master-Servant pairs had already been decided and there was too little room for him to cut in. Most of all, there were three Lancers drafted in the first place, and the remaining two were Vlad III and Karna. The fact that he was a Japanese Servant also played a factor, so he was unfortunately retired from the running.
During this period of the plot creation, the following had already been basically decided: “Romanian stage. Vlad III’s big fame bonus. Central Servants are Jeanne and Astolfo, and the rival Servant is Amakusa Shirou Tokisada.” Therefore, the next one to be retired was Georgius. Since he would be the third saint in the story, he would have to be included in the ideological conflict between Jeanne and Amakusa, but I feared it would become too confusing. Also, considering the final outcome of the story, his value as a character dimmed further since his Noble Phantasm would cause the metamorphosis midway through the story, so he was discarded.
Now then, one of the two planned Riders has been discarded and left an empty Rider slot, so let’s think of possible choices. If possible, it should be someone really famous who wouldn’t be too intertwined with the main plot of the story… With that thinking, the candidate that came to mind was Achilles.
I want one more Servant suitable to act as a rival to Achilles on the opposing team from him. For example, how about his teacher Chiron? But in that case, one of the initially planned Archers would have to be discarded.
At this point, it was already decided that Atalanta would oppose Jeanne, so she had to be in the Red camp like Achilles. The remaining Archer was David. There was no problem with him as an ally character-wise, Vlad III was planned to be made the head of the Black camp. If there were another world-famous king on the same team as him, his relationship with Vlad would become complex… As such, David was the last one to be discarded.
This segment has already become very drawn-out, but, well, I have say to congratulations for them all getting to make a return in “Fate/Grand Order”…リストラ【その他】
