Musashibou Benkei

Appearances

Parameters

Skills

• Magic Resistance (C+): Monk's spiritual training and battlefield experience blunt magecraft.
• Blank Subscription List (—): Conceptual theft skill tied to the legend of collecting swords on Gojo Bridge—can 'confiscate' an opponent's weapon under Benkei rules.
• Exiled from Paradise (A): Represents loyalty after leaving temple life for Yoshitsune's doomed cause.
• Imposing Stance (B): Giant monk's presence holds bridges and gates—defensive charisma as living barricade.

Noble Phantasms

• The Pilgrimage of the Five Hundred Arhat · Anti-Army (EX): Manifests a Buddhist funerary/pilgrim host—an overwhelming spiritual procession that bears down on enemies with the weight of Benkei's legendary endurance and faith.
• Benkei on the Bridge · Anti-Unit (C): Reenacts the Gojo Bridge encounter—weapon seizure and duel logic drawn from the famous meeting with Ushiwakamaru.

Personality

Loud, loyal, and monk-rough: a giant who laughs easily, lectures clumsily, and would die standing for his lord. Fate's Benkei plays the steadfast retainer opposite graceful Ushiwakamaru, mixing warrior-monk bluster with deep devotion.

Story in Fate

Musashibou Benkei appears in Fate/Grand Order as a Lancer-class warrior monk, famously paired with Ushiwakamaru (Minamoto no Yoshitsune). His kit references Gojo Bridge sword collecting and the final stand at Koromo River. In Babylonia-related appearances and event stories he serves as comic-strong ally whose loyalty is never in question.

Relationships

• Ushiwakamaru (Minamoto no Yoshitsune) — Lord and legendary partner from Gojo Bridge to the final flight.
• Minamoto no Yoritomo — Political enemy of Yoshitsune's faction in the Genpei aftermath.
• Taira foes of the Genpei War — Opponents of the Minamoto cause Benkei serves.
• Chaldea Master — New 'lord' figure toward whom retainer instincts transfer.

Trivia

• Voiced by Tetsu Inada—fitting a towering warrior-monk presence.
• Blank Subscription List nods to collecting 999 blades before meeting Yoshitsune.
• Often comic relief beside elegant Ushiwakamaru without losing tragic loyalty.
• Standing-death legend at Koromo River informs his Endurance-focused portrayal.
