Aren't their personality somewhat reversed in FGO then? Sorry if I'm going by misconceptions. As you both mentioned, Mahabharat is bigger than what it seems, and we are not talking about length here.

In essence, Karna is the man who is going to do "unethical" things because it means he has control over his life, while Arjuna will always be righteous, even when he clearly knows his actions aren't, because the Gods say it's ok and the fate of Karna has already been decided? In a simpler/more western way of putting things, Karna is an Anti-Hero there... except he probably isn't, with that Body and Soul thing Hikaru talked about.

But... from what I get, Karna was cursed to die defenseless, and Arjuna wants to win... therefore Krishna told him to kill the defenseless Karna because of the karma (I know it's not exactly "destiny", but you get what I mean)? Now... if Karna knows his fate and still wants to live without relying on its absoluteness, why did he accept to throw away his invincibility to fight Arjuna? Indra tricked him into doing so, right? Isn't that the same has being toyed around by a God?

My head hurts... I'm not good with philosophical stuff. I swear I want to understand... or rather, I want to know if I like Karna or Arjuna more, based on my way of life. So far, I like both, but that's only because of how they are portrayed here, design-wise and personality-wise.
