>that Archer
JUST

She knew she needed a catalyst, she focused on opening the box her dad left her and then hoped that it would be good enough.

What's with Rhino, Switzerland and chanting german?

Germans love scat.

Well you don't strictly need a catalyst to summon a Servant, just if you want to get a specific Heroic Spirit as your Servant.

Typical bad Nasu writing. The story starts off by giving the minimum amount of informations possible, or even outright wrong things (example: Saber is the strongest servant) in order to surprise and subvert later on, at the cost of making even the characters act like retards who don't know things that they should.

Reasonable enough in this case though... her magic tutor is the dude who killed her father and doesn't have her best interests at heart, and the Holy Grail War isn't an especially well-known thing even amongst magicians. Also if you think people in general, including people who ought to know better, don't act like fucking idiots then you don't understand people.

A mix of her family stealing tricks from the Finns plus Tokiomi being a Westaboo.

fuck you for reminding me of this, fuck you and go fuck yourself

Clearly yes, otherwise she wouldn't fuck up as much as she does.

>want to join into a wars that is known for creating tons of casualties.
>immediately uses her trump card, a trump card that she has been nurturing since a kid, to save some random dude.

She wouldn't be able to get a decent catalyst anyway. May as well bet on random, at least servant will be compatible.

Saber beat Gil with EA so the hype was justified.

She knew she needed a catalyst, she just wasn't able to obtain one. Items that held importance to legendary people aren't exactly easy to find. So she tried summoning anyway. She had nothing to lose by trying.

>she just wasn't able to obtain one. Items that held importance to legendary people aren't exactly easy to find.
It's either stated or implied that those in the previous war that did use catalysts went to some lengths to get them. Except Waver who stole his, but that's still a very rare opportunity.

You know, it occurs to me to wonder if a 'catalyst' might not necessarily need to be an actual physical object associated with them in life, but something more symbolic or metaphorical might do the job too. In which case something that has some metaphorical connection to some Heroic Spirit or other that happened to be in the vicinity might act as one; kind of like lightning will probably hit the nearest convenient conductor that sticks up a bit more than anything else nearby. Like it can't be a coincidence that the dude about to murder a child got Gilles de Rais as opposed to any other possibility.

It also occurs to me to wonder what would happen if two Masters tried to summon the same Heroic Spirit with different relics associated with them.

Whoever summoned first would get the hero, the second might get someone associated with them, or them in a weaker class.

>the second might get them in a weaker class.
I was wondering if that was possible. But I suppose if one can be summoned from the future and another can be based on someone that didn't really exist to begin with, anything's possible.

I’ll never get into fate for the simple reason that it’s a Japanese Series with the most similarities with American capeshit
