#86 Mysterious Heroine X
MHX originally appeared in the 2013 April Fool’s event, where Satsuki and other B tier heroines teamed up to defeat the 12 gold heroines in a parody of Saint Seiya game. They then added her to FGO for reasons I can’t fathom. At least the game was fun.
#85 Karna
The child of the sun god and a princess, Karna was abandoned as an infant due to his mother having him out of wedlock. She put him in a basket in the Ganges River hoping someone would find him, much like the famous tale of Moses. Scholars have + (cont in alt text)
#83 Solomon
What, he’s in the Graph, okay? He’s fair game.
The historicity of Solomon hotly debated to this day, the only thing historians can agree on is that Biblical depictions of the kingdom of Israel are greatly exaggerated. The part about having 700 wives too.
#59!! Joan of Arc
I am so sorry I somehow skipped her!! My bad!! 🥲🥲
She started to have visions of St. Michael when she was thirteen. The visions later extended to include St. Margaret and St. Catherine. A prophecy attributed to Merlin predicted that she would save France.
#78 Philippus Aureolus Theophrastus Bombastus von Hohenheim/Paracelsus
Born in a village named Egg, Paracelsus traveled most of the known world in search of universal knowledge.
He was a professor and gave lectures in German instead of Latin so anyone could learn from him.
#75 Mordred
Mordred’s first appearance in history is in the very first reference to Arthur ever. It is not clear why they were fighting, or if they were fighting each other at all! This short passage in the Historia Brittonum was written 300 years after the battle occurred.
#74 Jack the Ripper
To this day, Jack’s identity is unknown. His name comes from a signer letter sent to the Central News Agency of London, allegedly written by the killer. It is generally accepted to be the first piece of correspondence from this notorious killer.
#70 Diarmuid O’Dyna
Famous for his relationship with Grainne, the reason for his death appears in another tale. His father killed the son of Aengus’ steward and Aengus resurrected him as a boar. Upon learning this, the steward cursed Diarmuid to die at his son’s hands.
#68 Oda Nobunaga
Hilariously enough, Oda Nobunaga was so chuuni in life that it comes off as ridiculous with our modern standards. He really did refer to himself as “The Demon King of the Sixth Heaven” and drank from the skulls of his enemies. Yes, Sengoku Basara got it right.
#66 Medea
Much of the sympathetic bent given to Medea comes from Euripides’ tragedy ‘Medea’ written for a playwright contest in 431 BCE. Despite the play being considered one of the greatest in the western canon, Euripides got third place.
