History[]

The famous rival of the renowned swordsman Miyamoto Musashi, Sasaki Kojirou was feared and revered throughout Japan for his skill with a blade able to match Musashi's, but his existence may not have been entirely true as history. This is why the Kojirou summoned in the Fuyuki Holy Grail war is in fact, a false servant, and a wraith of a nameless farmer that matched the description of the legend of "Sasaki Kojirou", someone who had trained his entire life to learn how to cut down a swallow in mid-air.

Weapons and Abilities[]

Weapons[]

  • Monohoshi Zao
    • Bitchu Aoe blade
    • 150 cm long
    • Its length requires Sasaki to fight defensively without risk of snapping the blade
    • Focuses on speed and technique as opposed to strength and weight
    • Wielded with the aim to swiftly decapitate, aiming for the neck and head
    • Long range increases the effectiveness of Noble Phantasm
    • Name translates to "washing pole" due to its length

Skills[]

  • Mind's Eye (False) (A)
    • Sixth sense from birth that gives Assassin remarkable perceptiveness of his observations and surroundings
    • Also speeds Sasaki's reflexes and awareness in battle
    • Enables him to deduce an opponent's style and weapon after a few clashes with their blade
  • Knowledge of Respect and Harmony (B)
    • Prevents Sasaki's attacks from losing their accuracy, even if the same move is used on the same opponent multiple times
    • His attacks are always near unreadable to the opponent, rendering them unable to read or counter his attacks effectively
  • Vitrification (B+)
    • Stills Assassin's mind in a form of calm and serenity, protecting him from mental interference
    • Nullifies charm, fear, and other mental affliction and magecraft
    • Limits his fighting spirit to mimic Presence Concealment
  • Presence Concealment (D)
    • Class skill, allows one to mildly hide their presence as a Servant
    • As he is not a true Assassin, his low level hinders the skill's effectiveness
    • Compensated by Vitrification (B+) to cut his mental and emotional state off from the perception of others

Noble Phantasm[]

Hiken - Tsubame Gaeshi[]

  • Secret Sword: Swallow Reversal
  • Rank: N/A
  • Type: Anti-Unit Mystic Sword
  • A technique that involves Sasaki slicing three times simultaneously from all sides in a single moment
  • Not a traditional Noble Phantasm and attained through extensive training and godlike skill... all to learn how to cut down a swallow in mid-air
  • Utilizes Multi-Dimensional Refraction Phenomenon of the Second Magic by ignoring the laws of time, space, and physics, multiplying the blade's existence so that each slash exists at the exact same time and hits the opponent in unison.
  • Nigh impossible to dodge as the slashes prevent escaping to the side or backwards, and parrying one slash will only allow the other two to hit.
  • When all three strikes hit, it is an instant kill
  • Due to its nature as a sword-fighting technique, expends little to no magical energy unlike most Noble Phantasms, allowing Sasaki to perform it multiple times without risking depletion of mana reserves
  • Described as an "infinite sword" that creates a "future" not even gods can escape

Feats[]

  • Arguably the most skilled swordsman in the Fifth Grail War
  • Tsubame Gaeshi is a simple technique gained through sheer will and training and reaches the level of True Magic in its execution, and it was attained just for the simple task of killing a small bird
  • Fought on par with Saber and Archer in the Fifth Grail War
  • Tsubame Gaeshi is completely unavoidable once he executes it, capable of crippling and even killing Servants despite Sasaki being a wraith
  • Deduces the exact measurements of Invisible Air after brief moments of combat
  • Fended off Berserker (Heracles) from Ryudouji Temple with Caster's help
  • Floors Saber in their first duel, with Tsubame Gaeshi causing her Instinct to show her future of falling to the floor, bleeding from slash wounds
  • Survives having his ribs burst his chest open by Caster
  • A fully manifested Saber-class Sasaki was able to match a prime Miyamoto Musashi blow for blow, possibly able to draw out the duel for eternity given a witness had not been present to decide the winner.

Flaws[]

  • As a false Assassin and a Wraith, his parameters are low compared to other Servants
  • Possesses no prominent techniques or stances apart from Tsubame Gaeshi
  • Tsubame Gaeshi requires him to be level to his opponent in altitude
  • Tsubame Gaeshi can be avoided if there are any imperfections to the execution
    • If he is on higher or lower ground
    • If only two strikes hit
    • If the blade is damaged or bent, the opponent can exploit the blade's fragility
  • Has an E in Endurance, making him very squishy if an opponent can bypass his absurd defensive swordplay
  • Possesses almost no capability for magic and has no traditional Noble Phantasm
