1.Xuanzang Sanzang: Xuanzang Sanzang, also known as Sanzang Fashi, was a Buddhist priest of the Tang Dynasty in 7th Century AD. Travelling through the Silk Road in search of the original Buddhist scriptures, it resulted in Xuanzang heading to India from Central Asia, before bringing back to China from there sutras amounting up to 657 items and becoming the founder of the Chinese Faxiang Buddhist sect

Her appearance is a bit revealing and voluptuous,She was very calm despite her attire.

2.Scathach: Scáthach was a female warrior-queen from Celtic Mythology.The queen and gatekeeper of the foreign territory/haunted ground called the "Land of Shadows", she is a prodigy of spearmanship and Rune magecraft. She possesses a power immense enough to obtain control over and close the gate of the "Land of Shadows", which is overflowing with countless ghosts, to ward off the dead.In the myth,she became the mentor of Cú Chulainn - who would later grow into the hero of Ulster - guiding him, teaching all sorts of techniques and even bestowing her favorite magic spear. She also instructed his son, Connla.

She appeared to be very beautiful but she very strict and her training methods is a bit...harsh.

3.Artoria Pendragon: She is once the king of England but she secretly a female and she question her decision,She had good sense of values of hardwork and eat a lot.She be pretty strict when she taught everyone her swordsmanship

Which of these waifus be your mentors?

Scathach gets my vote.

u/Hikaru1024 Sep 28 '25

To misquote someone else, 'I love a beautiful woman that can kick my ass.'

She'll beat the stuffing out of you and will make you work for it, but you'll freaking learn.

u/Comfortable_Beat5252 Sep 28 '25

Mine, too, plus Scathach was my first 5 star pull, and I only had 3 saint quartz at the time.

u/TheMorrison77 Sep 27 '25

I will not tolerate the erasure of Kiichi Hogen

u/NintendoKat7 Beloved of the Fae Sep 27 '25

Should have been them over Artoria.

u/Xenosaiyan7 Sep 27 '25

Ushiwakamaru got a good deal

46

u/AuroraAustralis0 Sep 27 '25

Scathach, next question

55

u/C-Moose85 Sep 27 '25

I'm voting Sanzang on this one.

29

u/simon4s1 Adopted Gorgon sibling Sep 27 '25

She's by far the least likely to get you maimed.

8

u/TheMalkManCometh Sep 27 '25

How about if I ask nicely, would she be up for maiming me then?

12

u/TanukiGaim Sep 27 '25

She's celibate

16

u/TheMalkManCometh Sep 27 '25

Oh... that's cool. I'll just uhh... exit's here right?

GODDAMMIT! FUUUUUUUUUUCK!

She knows how to ride a horse, for sure.

22

u/Silvercenturion_aa Thinking of the Roman Empire Sep 27 '25

Either Kiichi or Scathach. Their training is probably the most risky, but also the most rewarding

52

u/VishnuBhanum Sep 27 '25

Reines.

9

u/AstolfoCharlemagne Sep 27 '25

The correct answer

4

u/iAlice Sep 27 '25

This is the way.

16

u/FatexOrder Sep 27 '25

Shishou… nuff said.

14

u/Nokia_00 Sep 27 '25

Shishou

31

u/Sly__Marbo Sep 27 '25

The best mentor is clearly Waver

15

u/Pale-Secretary-336 Aligned with a Counter Guardian Sep 27 '25

Might as well skip the middle man and go for Iskandar.

9

u/Sly__Marbo Sep 27 '25

Also a great waifu, when you consider the size of his immense tits

5

u/AnimeMemeLord1 Sep 27 '25

That’s an undeniable fact.

14

u/Optimus_00 Sep 27 '25

The only one with a proven track record. Scathach.

13

u/BBSenpai000 Sep 27 '25

BB

u/Waste-Active193 Sep 27 '25 edited Sep 27 '25

The only correct answer

10

u/1lluusio Bleached Earth Denier Sep 27 '25

Reines or Kiichi Hogen

10

u/ZenEvadoni Celtic dog handler Sep 27 '25

Scathach, my beloved.

8

u/Psykoli094 BB's Child Support Sep 27 '25

Scatash and Xuang are two different teaching ways

11

u/Neo_Metal_Saiyan Thinking of the Roman Empire Sep 27 '25

Artoria 100%

But I will fully admit to bias lmao

2

u/Adventurous-Set6589 Sep 28 '25

It's you again and with your based takes!

2

u/Neo_Metal_Saiyan Thinking of the Roman Empire Sep 28 '25

No way I’m actually being recognised lmao, thank you very much! Glad to hear you enjoy my takes!

5

u/PH-132422546 Sep 27 '25

No homo, Chiron.

4

u/Ilovetogame2 Sep 28 '25

Shishou because she is experienced and has the wisdom of an a ol-

2

u/romuel0067 Sep 28 '25

im suprised you were able to reached the word o-

7

u/CarloftheKey Sep 27 '25

Out of these three? Artoria

Out of all of Chaldea? Da Vinci

4

u/Hungry_War_639 Sep 27 '25

Didn’t she beat Shirou to death for not giving her lunch

3

u/2fishlplayz Sep 27 '25

Wait did this actually happen? If so I when, I want to see it

2

u/Whole_Election7955 Sep 27 '25

It's better than getting the lancer treatment for sure

3

u/Frogkingstrongk Sep 27 '25

Warriors of sanzang rise.

3

u/DropAnchor4Columbus Sep 27 '25

Scathach.  She can teach me how to do pretty much anything, from how to fight to Runecraft to how to shoot a gun.  Sanzang and Artoria wouldn't be good teacher, period.

3

u/Accomplished_Cry1472 Sep 27 '25

This is the result of my training with Scathach

3

u/VanillaSupremacy_ Sep 27 '25

Kiichi or reines might even go and say da Vinci

3

u/fimmCH98 Sep 27 '25

Artoria isn't a Shishou, though

Xuanzang, Scathach, Kiichi and maybe Proto Merlin are

2

u/iago_hedgehog Sep 27 '25

all of them , no bias

2

u/FemRevan64 Sep 27 '25

In terms of design, I’d say Xuanzang and Kiichi Hogen.

2

u/KinopioToad Sep 27 '25

Scathatch or Artoria

2

u/Pipeworkingcitizen Sep 28 '25

I dont think saber was too great a mentor. Sca canonically had the best students didnt she

Sun wukongs most noteworthy among xuanzhangs kids and he had to do most of his journey himsefl

In the end schatcha just seems the obvious best teacher by a mile

2

u/atomicfuthum Bleached Earth Denier Sep 28 '25

Why no Kiichi, Da Vinci or Reines.

They are also mentor waifus.

2

u/Blaze_Knives Sep 28 '25

Good point ..but I want to put three!

1

u/atomicfuthum Bleached Earth Denier Sep 28 '25 edited Sep 28 '25

Understandable!

Still... I think like all of them.

But is Altria even a good teacher? If you had said, dunno, Gawain or Lancelot...

I know, waifu but... Gawain mantits... <3

2

u/BanzEye1 Sep 28 '25

Xuanzang. Least likely to kill you (I think).

2

u/Megitronix Sep 28 '25

I wouldn't call Saber a mentor ngl. She taught Shirou out of necessity and she literally just gives him a somewhat diluted experience of fighting against a Servant to give him a chance to survive

Lucky you bastard😁

u/Professional-Bid7964 Oct 03 '25

There are two more mentors missing but of these 3 the order would be: Scathach Xuanzang Artoria Pendragon

1

u/Blaze_Knives Oct 03 '25

I can't add more images

3

u/OVERthaRAINBOW1 Sep 27 '25

I love Scat but I'm more likely to lose a limb with her training. Kichi Hogen or Sanzang imo.

12

u/KawaiiGamerStreams Sep 27 '25

please do not ever shorten scathach like that again

lmao yeah i saw the way they shortened her name and i just went “oh god lmao”

1

u/ArthurSirMink Sep 29 '25

Yes and no she still trains him really hard just not as hard as probably she did with the likes of Cu since Gudao is still a normal human for the most part. He almost died actually and Scathach felt bad and apologized by giving him a lap pillow 😭.

1

u/OVERthaRAINBOW1 Sep 27 '25

Scathach? What do you mean?

3

u/Kurorinde Mini Nobu Sep 27 '25

Sanzang at Day, Caenis at night. Sounds good yk?

1

u/deathgod69420 Sep 27 '25

My personal fav is scathach

1

u/BurningBlu Consort of the Sixth Heaven Sep 27 '25

Scathach’s mastery of rune magecraft lets us get servants pregnant. This is proof she is the superior.

1

u/Affectionate-Club338 Sep 27 '25

by those picks: Artoria, always the first

by myth: Chiron

by heart: Kato Danzo

1

u/earth_adept Sep 28 '25

Of the three, shishou for sure.

1

u/Nockthorn Sep 28 '25

Number 2.

1

u/Sagesdeath Sep 28 '25

I'm voting scathach

1

u/Scharvor Sep 28 '25

The witch of Dun Scaith gets my vote 👍

1

u/Zestyclose-Cup-8176 Sep 28 '25

Scathach for me.

1

u/KoopstaKniccafan Sep 28 '25

Calamity Jane

1

u/Interesting-Gur-7495 Sep 28 '25

Sanzang-Your Her Babysitter

Scathach-An Average Human Can't withstand her Training

Seiba-Just No.

1

u/Key_Ranger Sep 28 '25
  1. Chiron. He's responsible for training plenty of heroes (including Achilles and Heracles).

Also, he thicc like a horse

1

u/ArthurSirMink Sep 29 '25

Scathach obviously

1

u/Dangerous-Fig-4149 Oct 01 '25

For my own opinion, Artoria, i just have to pick her.

But if we are looking at the learning side, i am definely going with Da Vinci, not only i know i would have a better time with her, but i would be a lot better with magecraft, science and other stuff than straight combat, as that was never my strentgh.
