@FGOHikaru: Yeah, I know the comment itself was about Excalibur vs. Galahad shield. However, we also saw how Cú Chulainn caster like to provoke his opponents (every single time he talked his enemy and tried to provoke them or make fun of them). It's hard for me to take Cú's comment without a second meaning or intention.

Not only that. The comment about the paradox can be just a coincidence, but all the thing around EMIYA and Cú Chulainn in that movie was full of coincidences. Like how Cú wanted to have a melee fight against EMIYA. Yeah, maybe he like to fight with spears, and maybe he know his best role is Lancer. However, each Servant represents a part of the Heroic Spirit's legend. It's a manifestation of that part of their story. So "Lancer" Cú Chulainn is Cú Chulainn's legend where he is a great lancer. "Caster" Cú Chulainn is Cú Chulainn's legend where he is a great Caster. It doesn't have any sense for him to decide fight melee against EMIYA.

Even worst: against Medusa he used magic, against Artoria he used magic (Noble Phantasm), but what a coincidence: against EMIYA he wanted to fight melee.

Just like I said, there are too much coincidences between those two. It's hard for me to think this doesn't have any FSN's influence. :/ And it's even harder if we are talking about F/GO, the game that literally go against 70% of Fate's lore. xD

@Nuada85: In fact this is already explained, more or less. This happen for two reasons:

1) During FSN Kirei's didn't intended to use Cú Chulainn to win fights. He ordered Cú to only scout the city, obtain information, and fight but without using all his power. However, Gae Bolg is a one-hit kill against almost anyone, and is one of the Noble Phantasm with less mana cost in all the war. If he wanted, he only needed to use Gae Bolg against each Servant and win. Well... Not against Heracles.

2) Cú Chulainn Lancer is OP, but Cú Chulainn Caster isn't far behind. Inside Nasuverse there are three kind of runes: old runes (from old times, very powerful), modern runes (copies from the old runes, and not THAT powerful), and Primeval Runes (the original runes, those created by Odin, and the most powerful of all). Cú Caster use the Primeval Runes. It isn't weird how powerful his magic is, specially against enemies without Magic Resist (like Medusa, who died with only a few runes, unlike Artoria who needed the whole Noble Phantasm).

In other words: his Caster version is broken as hell, and his Lancer version can solo Servants if he wants, but only if his Master isn't holding him like Kirei did.
