Talk:Diarmuid Ua Duibhne (Saber)/@comment-31469610-20180907143948/@comment-4802891-20180907190339

Ok, if the Class naming is the issue here, let's take this in a different perspective that I will call the "Altria Phenomenon" : if it sounds or looks cool to the Japanese audience, if it rolls the tongue better, if it allows to keep a phonetic pattern (please ignore Assassin and Alterego), it's good no matter the English terminology!

Saber is short, it's easy to remember, it makes for a cool name and you get the point. Same with Lancer, same with Caster... unless you were seriously thinking it meant broadcaster (although it's funny to think about).

Aside for humor and pedantry, there's no real purpose in arguing about this...

In the context of the Servant system, yes, Diarmuid is a run-to-the-mill Saber, with a proper set of magic swords defining his legend. He isn't a cheating emperor, he isn't a martial artist, he isn't a space alien with a technicolor whip-sword, he isn't a genderbending reactor holding a rapier, he isn't a miner pretending to be swing a bladed weapon., he isn't a marshall with a poor excuse, he isn't a master swordsman whom weapon is not relevant, he isn't the next Capricorn Saint and he doesn't punch swords and daggers.
