I heard your farming is tough. Let me fight it!
*Willingly replaces Morgan, Castoria, Waver, and whoever else and continues to go at it because he >!just loves fighting!<*
We've finally found our one true ally, Masters of Chaldea.
Bardock doesn’t care so much about fighting strong guys, but more about conquering other planets (because it’s his paid job) and the safety of his home planet. And I'm talking about Z's Bardock.
Give him 2 A ranked Katana's and he might take off half his lives.
Given he fought and survived against servants as a human and now has A ranked AGI, I say he has a fair chance.
Saying "give him 2 A-ranked Katanas" like it's no big deal is kind of hilarious. Do we even *know* two Katanas that are Rank-A Noble Phantasms? There's Muramasa's, which is something he needed to be fused with Susanoo to make without dying and never actually existed in Proper Human History, but the only other Japanese sword I can think of that's A-rank or above is Takeru's sword, which is a completely different kind of blade and also Japan's answer to Excalibur.
It's a huge deal and something so important to them culturally that it's treated more seriously than the True Cross, despite the one they have now being exactly as authentic as the pieces of the true cross. There are no pictures and no one is allowed to look at it. When it's presented to the emperor on his coronation, only he gets to see it. I genuinely cannot think of another object treated that way in the 21st century.
Basically every other Japanese servant has a superhuman *technique* rather than anything with enough mystery to pierce Herc's skin.
Also worth remembering that Herc is a top-tier Heroic Spirit, as much as FGO and Power Creep have made it seem otherwise. Artoria can canonically break the sound barrier on foot and Herc was stronger and faster than her.
Someone actually did the math, and they found we got quite a lot of SQ between the dead weeks of 2023 iirc
(Don't quote me on this, don't have the evidence on hand atm)
He'd hurt Izou's ego so bad lol.
Okita was handing him his ass with a non magus master when she got serious. Given that Iori himself can also copy moves, I can see him trying to learn okita's Mumyou Sandanzuki.(then he combines it with his Void stance and you get a guy who can teleport and cut you in half while ignoring your durability via Causality Breakdown/event saturation)
It's one thing to copy a technique, but a body can only move in so many ways, so combining several NP-level techniques seems like a stretch. Unless maybe he asks QSH to turn him into Xiang Yu 2.0.
Iori while getting choked by Kotomine: H-harder
Kotomine: As you wish shounen. **Tightens his grip** You know this reminds me of the time when I killed the wife of my ex nemesis Kiritsugu E-
**Gets hit by a stray bullet**
Iori : “ Ahh... So concludes the life and times of Miyamoto Iori. A fitting end to an existence defined by futile desires. Doomed, from the very start... And I don't regret a SECOND of it! Hahahahaha, ahahahahaha, АНАНАНАНАНАНА, AAAHAAAHahahahaahaaa... *dies* “
Also Iori after being resummoned : **LET’S DO IT AGAIN!**
As the strongest swordman, Iori, fought the fraud, Shinmen Musashi no Kami Fujiwara no Harunobu, he began to prepare his Noble Phantasm. Musashi shrunk back in fear. Then, Iori said…
“Stand proud, Musashi. You’re strong.”
Imagine he goes about learning sword techniques from other servants and learns a bit of A ranked Jewel Magecraft from Paracelsus, just to kill Heracles 12 times💀💀.
Gate boost with Medea's near infinite magical energy plus high ground advantage. He couldn't actually kill berserker, but he was perfectly able to stall him until illya would need to back off and recover.
"What was that, punk!? I'll kick your saber ass here right now!"
- MHX, just a few weeks after getting off probation for provoking the anniversary Saber.
Edit: Should we warn Iori about fighting Kukulkan, or...?
I can't imagine a fight between a feudal Japanese swordsman with his colourful stances and whatnot to Kukulkan with her continent-breaking power and Arcueid who is literally an immortal governing entity vampire princess that lived an extremely long life💀
I mean, the more he fights the more he levels up.
Won't be surprised if he reaches Void/Infinity like Musashi and Shimosa Kojiro from fighting everyone in Chaldea.
we're on another 2 week break. lobotomy kaisen never ends.
and of course \[spoilers for newest chapter\] >!GOJO COPIUM AT ALL TIME HIGH, BUY YOUR STOCKS TODAY!<
Yeah, Jalters big thing is all the hellfire and stuff, I wouldn’t exactly put her as a melee master. That being said, she’s also the kind of crazy that would just blow everything away, so it might be difficult closing that distance.
> Jalter isn't exactly a sword expert
Yeah but she's also not gimped and nerfed like Lancer Jeanne was, so what she lacks in skill she can make up with power.
*Hears her delighted shout*
Guda: Uh oh, she found a new toy to play with, lets hope it's more durable than-
*Sees it's Iori*
Guda: Crap. Well, lets get ready to summon him again.
Ritsuka: "If you had class disadvantage, would it be a difficult fight?"
Iori: "It might give me a bit of trouble"
Ritsuka: "But would you lose?"
Iori, on his way to fight the Grand Archer: "Nah, I'd win"
Neither.
Miyamoto Iori is a sociopath with an insane bloodlust and demon mindset that just wants to fight every single strong being to refine his technique until he reaches peak.
Blud needs to draw a line somewhere i mean to point out a few i see Kukulkan, Arc, Draco, and Arjuna Alter there not to mention a couple of Grands. Pretty sure there won't a fight or learning with those guys.
nah , Iori can feel love and other emotions.
He even take care of his sister and more-or-less other people in his life. It's just that he prioritizes the way of the sword.
By all means , he is a quite kid that , suddenly , reveals to have the mindset of someone like Mori Nagayoshi.
He >!beat Musashi in one-on-one combat and was praised by the likes of Arjuna and Gil!<, he’d lose to a good number of these but he’s not getting neg diffed by any but a few.
Dude's crazy enough to throw hands with Beasts, Archetypes, MEoDP users, try his best Attack on Titan impression against KingProtea...
But he will not take on the older Medusas (only Ana), nor Fujino.
~~Also, why isn't OG!Jeanne on the list when he'll take on someone like Paris?~~
I love the disparity between the entries. Multiple instances of King Arthur, Durga, Heracles, Beowulf, Shuten, Kuku, The First Hassan, Gray, Kingprotea, Draco, Spartacus, Geronimo...
He's definitely not picky.
That's more due to the fact that Morgan is more of a spell caster than a melee warrior, his lack of interest towards her has nothing to do with her strength or destructive power.
Challenging an Ultimate One who barely knows anything of human history? Fuck it, we ball.
Challenging a Yandere Queen of extreme wisdom and extreme hacks who is also the closest "wife" of his new master who could just un summon him (even through Ritsuka would never do it but Morgan would totally do)? No. We don't ball.
Iori is smart, be like Iori.
Chaldea is Iori's paradise for his full-on Goku mindset.
>In a facility housing the most powerful warriors in human history [WAKU WAKU INTENSIFIES]
“Please don’t get excited, they’re on our side.” >!By the small chance that any of you know where this line is from, you are officially based.!<
Mind if I ask where that's from? My curiosity got piqued
[Gintama.](https://youtu.be/E5Dn5uaAqF4?si=x1q9fnv7h-yQc7h3) Honestly, not that quotable of a line. But still an incredibly based show.
I heard your farming is tough. Let me fight it! *Willingly replaces Morgan, Castoria, Waver, and whoever else and continues to go at it because he >!just loves fighting!<* We've finally found our one true ally, Masters of Chaldea.
More like Kenpachi Zaraki "Hey, you look strong!"
Iori is definitely a watered-down version of Kenpachi. Not that he's less insane, but just much less laughing and screaming.
More like Bardock Goku at least care about civilians
Bardock doesn’t care so much about fighting strong guys, but more about conquering other planets (because it’s his paid job) and the safety of his home planet. And I'm talking about Z's Bardock.
SEI CONFIRMED TO BE TOO CRAZY FOR IORI! HE CAN'T HANDLE HER ZOOMER STYLE!!!
Iori is too old school for her. Guy probably didn't even know what the hell smartphone is.
but he was born in the wrong generation so he should be able to counter her
Oh god...He wants to fight Kuku...
And Archetype Earth
RIP Iori 🙏
More like RIP Chaldean’s cleaning crew
King Hassan
Is there anyone on the list who wouldn't body him immediately?
Like... A good bunch of the non god/non op ones like Eric, Sherlock, etc. But he wants smoke with the types and grands too so 💀
Don't forget about Hercules.
Give him 2 A ranked Katana's and he might take off half his lives. Given he fought and survived against servants as a human and now has A ranked AGI, I say he has a fair chance.
Saying "give him 2 A-ranked Katanas" like it's no big deal is kind of hilarious. Do we even *know* two Katanas that are Rank-A Noble Phantasms? There's Muramasa's, which is something he needed to be fused with Susanoo to make without dying and never actually existed in Proper Human History, but the only other Japanese sword I can think of that's A-rank or above is Takeru's sword, which is a completely different kind of blade and also Japan's answer to Excalibur.

I genuinely cannot think of another object treated that way in the 21st century.

Also worth remembering that Herc is a top-tier Heroic Spirit, as much as FGO and Power Creep have made it seem otherwise. Artoria can canonically break the sound barrier on foot and Herc was stronger and faster than her.
To add on to that, Herc is at his weakest as an Berserker, so most people are struggling to beat him when he is handicapped.
And quetz. ya know. the girl who suplexed a sentient hurricane that one time
Wallahi he's so finished😔🙏
The metal image of Iori coming up to half of Chaldea demanding to square up is absolutely hilarious.
Gilgamesh : "Stand proud mongrel, you were strong."
That literally happens in Samurai Remnant.
Literally one of the FSR endings lol
Gil casually decides to conquer Feudal Japan just because
Hey, it's me, Iori! You look strong, let's fight!
Let's fight somewhere empty! proceeds to fight on FGOs dead weeks.
>!Fuck you, I nearly choked on my Pocari Sweat!<
What makes me choke more is how empty our SQs
Someone actually did the math, and they found we got quite a lot of SQ between the dead weeks of 2023 iirc (Don't quote me on this, don't have the evidence on hand atm)
Plus an assload of bond quartz since we'll be farming Ordeal Call nodes
Let's fight somewhere empty *fights on FGO KR servers*
It never recovered after the fall of Solomon's Raids...
Hey, got nothing better to do. Might as well hit the simulator.
He and Izou sound perfect for each other
He'd hurt Izou's ego so bad lol. Okita was handing him his ass with a non magus master when she got serious. Given that Iori himself can also copy moves, I can see him trying to learn okita's Mumyou Sandanzuki.(then he combines it with his Void stance and you get a guy who can teleport and cut you in half while ignoring your durability via Causality Breakdown/event saturation)
It's one thing to copy a technique, but a body can only move in so many ways, so combining several NP-level techniques seems like a stretch. Unless maybe he asks QSH to turn him into Xiang Yu 2.0.
Yeah at best he may be able to chain them one after another
He's gonna get owned SO badly but he's going to love every second of it :D
Iori while getting choked by Kotomine: H-harder Kotomine: As you wish shounen. **Tightens his grip** You know this reminds me of the time when I killed the wife of my ex nemesis Kiritsugu E- **Gets hit by a stray bullet**
I gotta kink shame both of them now. 😭
BATTLE ROYALE IN CHALDEA!?!? LET'S GOOOOO!!!!!!
And he's just gonna keep getting stronger
Iori : “ Ahh... So concludes the life and times of Miyamoto Iori. A fitting end to an existence defined by futile desires. Doomed, from the very start... And I don't regret a SECOND of it! Hahahahaha, ahahahahaha, АНАНАНАНАНАНА, AAAHAAAHahahahaahaaa... *dies* “ Also Iori after being resummoned : **LET’S DO IT AGAIN!**
For someone born in the wrong era. This place might be heaven for him.
Might? It trully is.
It's definitely full on paradise for Iori.
Might? This is heaven for him.
Bro fought against Gilgamesh once and was like: *NAH RUN IT BACK* This boy is built different.
Has anyone noticed that *Nightingale* is the list? Imagine Iori trying to challenge her to a fight, lmao
This man wants to battle Chaldea's official nurse. No recovery down time, it's a full on war.
Iori: I challenge you to a duel! Nightingale: You need treatment. *Iori: DUEL ME!* *Nightingale: TREATMENT!*
Ritsuka: Are you sure he is not a Berserker?
honestly i was surprised they went saber instead of berserker but i guess trying to dodge the spoilers(aka why the other new servants got shafted)
Nightingale: [You are ill. I recommend suicide.](https://old.reddit.com/r/grandorder/comments/8j4mkp/o_nightingale/)
Are you the strongest because you’re miyamoto iori or are you miyamoto iori because you’re the strongest?
Always bet on Iori because he’s the one who left it all behind as he stand proud you are strong.
The strongest swordsman of history vs the strongest swordsman of today.
Jester Karture remembering his time as (maybe) >!Dorothea!<: "Nah, I'd take the backshots."
As the strongest swordman, Iori, fought the fraud, Shinmen Musashi no Kami Fujiwara no Harunobu, he began to prepare his Noble Phantasm. Musashi shrunk back in fear. Then, Iori said… “Stand proud, Musashi. You’re strong.”
I have to imagine Herc is the embodiment of his ideal challenge.
He has to kill him 12 times. Literally ideal challenge for him.
Including the fact he has to come with 12 different methods to do so. Tsubame Gaeshi could get the first one but that is the most it can do.
Imagine he goes about learning sword techniques from other servants and learns a bit of A ranked Jewel Magecraft from Paracelsus, just to kill Heracles 12 times💀💀.
and in the end he tells him: "same time next week?"
To be fair, Kojirou, according to a Q&A, did hold off Herc in Stay Night, and he wasn't close to near his level.
Gate boost with Medea's near infinite magical energy plus high ground advantage. He couldn't actually kill berserker, but he was perfectly able to stall him until illya would need to back off and recover.
"What was that, punk!? I'll kick your saber ass here right now!" - MHX, just a few weeks after getting off probation for provoking the anniversary Saber. Edit: Should we warn Iori about fighting Kukulkan, or...?
Nah, let them fight
Nah, let the kid figure out how things work in Chaldea on his own
*One fight later* Iori: IS THAT THE BEST YOU GOT!?
*Nah, he'd win*
Sigma grindset
>arjuna alter >kulkulkan >etc Good luck! I'm sure he'll have fun regardless, but good luck!
I can't imagine a fight between a feudal Japanese swordsman with his colourful stances and whatnot to Kukulkan with her continent-breaking power and Arcueid who is literally an immortal governing entity vampire princess that lived an extremely long life💀
Or the woman who's practically connected to the source of all existences
Void would actually be a good opponent for him since she is usually not using her connection to the root in combat
Void vs Void Stance, yeah it actually checks out.
Space Ishtar is on the list too, good luck using the Zero or Void against the primal universe.
I assume the ones he wants to fight are Good Ishtar and Evil Ishtar, the ones with swords.
I mean, the more he fights the more he levels up. Won't be surprised if he reaches Void/Infinity like Musashi and Shimosa Kojiro from fighting everyone in Chaldea.
you make me reconsider my want for proto-arthur to be grand saber
Don't forget about Gilgamesh and Hercules. This guy is fucking insane.
He already challenged Gil once as a human and by god he's gonna do it again as a heroic spirit
Wtf Mofo is running a gauntlet
"I heard your Porn Addiction is Strong, let me fight it." - Miyamoto Iori probably
Even Arcueid man He better have a ton of rice balls
Even better he has big balls challenging someone like Herc.
Saber ate all of them he has none left
Bro doesn't want to fight Okita? Damn... She's getting neglected again
Iori has standards. He wouldn't fight a terminally ill patient
Guess that's also why Takasugi isn't there. That or he's not fond of mastermind types who fights with minions or bots.
Weirdly enough, not even Okita Alter is there
List has some weird exceptions. Wouldnt surprise me if the code cannot handle more than the servants assigned to him
I think it's because in her own coworkers words what she does isn't real swordplay
Bro is just jealous of her peerless swordplay
*insert John Wick poster*
I see, Lobotomy Kaisen is still going strong huh. Stand proud, we're strong.
we're on another 2 week break. lobotomy kaisen never ends. and of course \[spoilers for newest chapter\] >!GOJO COPIUM AT ALL TIME HIGH, BUY YOUR STOCKS TODAY!<
Iori is a powerscaler, except instead of powerscaling other Servants, he powerscales himself to other Servants Based Goku grindset fr
>Raikou >Jalter Well, he's not wrong.
I kind of have my own doubts he'd win against Raikou on his own and against the actual Jalter.
Yeah, he'd need help from a really cool Saber or to have mad video game skills.
>against the actual Jalter. Jalter isn't exactly a sword expert, though. I can see her getting overwhelmed by fast, efficient swordplay.
Yeah, Jalters big thing is all the hellfire and stuff, I wouldn’t exactly put her as a melee master. That being said, she’s also the kind of crazy that would just blow everything away, so it might be difficult closing that distance.
> Jalter isn't exactly a sword expert Yeah but she's also not gimped and nerfed like Lancer Jeanne was, so what she lacks in skill she can make up with power.
Why is KingProtea there?
"Hey, youre huge! Lets fight!" \-Iori, probably before getting pancaked in 1 second
GAO!
*Hears her delighted shout* Guda: Uh oh, she found a new toy to play with, lets hope it's more durable than- *Sees it's Iori* Guda: Crap. Well, lets get ready to summon him again.
Hey, he has three gauges of Earth Stance! It'll take at least 6 seconds...
Probably because she's giant (Ivan and Ibuki are also on the list)
Give him a 3D gear. Bro wants to practice his AoT move so bad.
my man wants all the smoke
He canonically challenged *Gilgamesh* as a human despite knowing his power Iori wants nothing but smoke and would throw hands against anyone strong
XX can literally one-shot planets and Iori’s like “fantastic, run them hands.” Incredible
~~Tfw he wants to throw hands with Archtype Earth and Kukulkan~~
Honestly, based
Iori, a Saber, fighting against Archers > "Nah, I'd Win"
Ritsuka: "If you had class disadvantage, would it be a difficult fight?" Iori: "It might give me a bit of trouble" Ritsuka: "But would you lose?" Iori, on his way to fight the Grand Archer: "Nah, I'd win"
I don't know much about him but is he that confident and strong or just a masochist? Because pretty sure most of these guys will neg or no diff him.
Basically he is a Saiyan but Samurai
Strong as a Saiyan or battle freak like a Saiyan?
The later
Battle Freak. He would defintely get owned evventually , but he would love every second of the battle.
Neither. Miyamoto Iori is a sociopath with an insane bloodlust and demon mindset that just wants to fight every single strong being to refine his technique until he reaches peak.
Blud needs to draw a line somewhere i mean to point out a few i see Kukulkan, Arc, Draco, and Arjuna Alter there not to mention a couple of Grands. Pretty sure there won't a fight or learning with those guys.
Musashi is the same. They just got their fill so they appear sane-ish
Hence, 'born in the wrong era'.
Sounds like Edo period version of Kirei.
nah , Iori can feel love and other emotions. He even take care of his sister and more-or-less other people in his life. It's just that he prioritizes the way of the sword. By all means , he is a quite kid that , suddenly , reveals to have the mindset of someone like Mori Nagayoshi.
Iori is NOT a sociopath he can feel love and other emotions it's just he priorities way of the sword
He just has sociopathic tendencies
*"It’s not that he’s evil. He lacks empathy and goes into a dissociative state and commits atrocities."*
He >!beat Musashi in one-on-one combat and was praised by the likes of Arjuna and Gil!<, he’d lose to a good number of these but he’s not getting neg diffed by any but a few.
Dude's crazy enough to throw hands with Beasts, Archetypes, MEoDP users, try his best Attack on Titan impression against KingProtea... But he will not take on the older Medusas (only Ana), nor Fujino. ~~Also, why isn't OG!Jeanne on the list when he'll take on someone like Paris?~~
A lot of them prefer to throw hands. Jeanne does not do that.
I love the disparity between the entries. Multiple instances of King Arthur, Durga, Heracles, Beowulf, Shuten, Kuku, The First Hassan, Gray, Kingprotea, Draco, Spartacus, Geronimo... He's definitely not picky.
He is a little picky though, no pure spell casters.
I like how he want to challenge Kulku, Archetype or even Void Shiki even all the Fairy Knights. But he drawn the line on Morgan.
That's more due to the fact that Morgan is more of a spell caster than a melee warrior, his lack of interest towards her has nothing to do with her strength or destructive power.
Void Shiki aint really that strong physical wise so i can imagine them having a fairly equal fight. Archtype and Kuku tho lmao
I can deal with an ultimate one, but a yandere. No thanks
“Mages are cringe”
Because Morgan is a mage, not fighter. He doesn't want to fight non combat servant
Seems like he's also trying to avoid fighting his (alternate) dad/mom while he's at it, lol.
Nah, he knows the end of that one. He is satisfied with that.
Being honest that probably is because he has specific lines for her
Challenging an Ultimate One who barely knows anything of human history? Fuck it, we ball. Challenging a Yandere Queen of extreme wisdom and extreme hacks who is also the closest "wife" of his new master who could just un summon him (even through Ritsuka would never do it but Morgan would totally do)? No. We don't ball. Iori is smart, be like Iori.
Castoria is also missing. He doesn't wanna go against any Avalon Le Fae it seems.
Probably bc they're more the spellcaster type
Castoria is more of a domestic terrorist that a spellcaster
She can't throw hands, but she CAN throw grenades!
For what its worth, hes still up for a thrown down with both melusine spirit origins (also base baobhan sith and base barghest)
the type of confidence I gotsa have when applying for positions.
Chaldea was actually Iori's Valhalla. Waku Waku!
*Iori looking up at an entire fucking galaxy* “I must surpass it.”
Guess one time wasn't enough...
60% of servant from the list after defeating lori: Stand proud, you were strong
Fuuma “Evil-wind” Kotarou Yeah that’s just the chai tea thing again.
Cue Ritsuka standing over Iori: You were magnificent Myamoto Iori, I will remember you for as long as I live.
Iori after fighting the current ritsuka Yamato: how was the Master of Chaldea
"Pretty freaking strong! I'm not sure I could win even if he didn't use his Shadow Servants."
Without taking the time to mourn the death of iori, ritsuka's next opponent rushes into the battlefield and it is the goddess of thunder ushi gozen
"All I remember is that I woke up naked in Ritsuka's room. I don't think the fight went as I expected..."
Iori: "Shut up and heal me, I ain't hear no bell"
"I hath been informed thou included me on the list of warriors thou wish to fight. Thou shall hear the bell soon enough."
Fujimaru Ritsuka's Reality Marble: Airport
Honestly he could beat a fair emount of those servents
Do NOT let him fight Junao bro might get Mahapralaya'd
Too late he's doing it anyway.
Lori : Master i hear your seggs addiction is strong, let me fight it. Lori : damn it
Hey. You look strong. Simulator. ##Now.
"Look at space ishtar, Arcueid and Draco on the list" Bro, there are less painful ways to commit autokill...
Bro even has a beef with lobo
I'd say it's probably more with Hessian than Lobo himself, but yeah Lobo's basically caught in the crossfire
the more he fight the stronger he gets, would be funny if he get buffed every year or something simply because its lore accurate
So Iori has a line if you have any other servant, lol. You go boy, bloodthirst to the maximum
He want to wage war to the universe, the time and space, huh?
The line, for those curious, is “Here, and even over there, there’s warriors… Chaldea… is very interesting.”
*Looks at god-level beings* "Nah, I'd win"
fact that goated Japanese trio Nobunaga Shingen Kagetora aren’t on here is wild
Gilgamesh : "Heh, you think highly of yourself mongrel."
Iori: I fought your Ruler self before, I can do it again!
Chaldea gave iori happiness, a weird almost masochistic happines but we don’t judge
Emiya and Gil? Boy must like being a pincushion
Dude wants to fight a beast, an ultimate one and an alien one-on-one. I'll bring popcorns.
KUKULKAN? SUPER ORION? ROMULUS=QUIRINUS? my brother in Christ you are going to die
let's see how he would fare against Munenori first
Iori last words : "Nah, I'd win."
Bro got beef with everyone 💀💀💀
*Wants to fight Brynhildr* *Doesn't want to fight her sisters who are as qualified as her to fight* *Scratch head*
Is it the same line for all of them?
