Eternally thinking about Nobunaga being more than happy to become a threat to all humanity if it means fulfilling their own ambitions,

And yet, Nobunaga is still perfectly fine with dying if it means saving humanity, too.

I just think it’s a really neat touch, being both enemy to all living creatures and yet still a guardian of humanity at the same time, and I think about this regularly.

First Image: A manga panel from Fate/Koha-Ace Ch. 10
Sakamoto Ryouma is speaking to Oda Nobunaga (Archer class), who both replies to him and calls out a third person in hiding.
Ryouma states “I was empowered by the world and was summoned,” to which Nobunaga replies “Ha ha ha! Does that mean I’ve become a threat to humanity?” before speaking to someone else asking “And should you be hiding there eavesdropping on us?”
The third person who was sneaking around is narrated with the word “Busted.”
Second Image: A cutscene screenshot from Gudaguda 3
Oda Nobunaga (Kaiser form) is grinning in front of a dark building at night and says “Wahahahaha! This is great! I’ve made and enemy of the world itself!”
Third Image: A cutscene screenshot from Gudaguda 4
Maou Nobunaga (Avenger class, third ascension) is standing in a candle-lit room with a serious expression and states “I wonder which of us will be the one to destroy the world... I can’t wait to see what happens next!”
Fourth Image: Two manga panels from Fate/Koha-Ace Ch. 14
The first panel has Oda Nobunaga (Archer class) on the floor dying and speaking to a shocked Okita Souji. The holy grail is floating in the middle of the panel.
Nobunaga states “Now, the grail has absorbed five servants. I’ll fill the last spot instead of Caster,” to which Okita exclaims “What!?”
The second panel shows Nobunaga disappearing, with the holy grail on fire and Okita having turned to face Nobunaga.
Nobunaga’s final words spoken are “Don’t ask why I’m not using it myself. Do whatever you wish with it Hitokiri-” to which Okita questions “What are you doing Archer-”
Fifth Image: A cutscene screenshot from Gudaguda 4
Maou Nobunaga (Avenger class, third ascension) is grinning in front of a burning temple and states “So you’re saying that for this Singularity to go away, I have to disappear with it, huh?”
Sixth Image: A cutscene screenshot from Gudaguda 4
Maou Nobunaga (Avenger class, third ascension) is still standing in front of a burning temple but with a more serious expression this time, stating “...I already figured there was no way I was gonna last much longer.”

(I’m still not 100% sure the exact formatting for image descriptions so please let me know if this can be cleaned up better!)
I like how casual the characterization is about Oryou basically being a snake in human form lol "Dang, you're still alive? I wanted to eat you..." "If you do a good job, I'll get you a frog while we're out"
