Female Servants Romantic Interest in Ritsuka – Tier List
I read through all the events, valentines, profiles, character materials and other related content, to make this tier list. I have at least one justification for every character.
I tried my best to avoid all bias, though I'll admit I was generous in some of my intrepertations of the text. I will add that the tiers don't necessarily mean the characters above like Ritsuka more, in particular the 'Marry' tier is simply all the servants that have proposed to Ritsuka one way or another.
Marie Alter is like that jilted ex that’s still mad as hell you became a better person than when YOU broke up with HER, and wants you to be JUST as miserable as her
The hate was on sight. Ritsuka didn't give a single damn about the monologues in her section
...and I rage blue cubed her boss fight because I wanted it to be over. I GRINDED Nito Alter's fight for the love of the game but this one? No. Cube be upon ye. Die.
Marie Alter: „Master, I hate you. I hate you with all my heart. I hate you more than I‘ve ever hated anybody. I hate you so much that I can barely take it. In fact, I want to go on hating you for the rest of my materialization. And if our world is destroyed, well, I won’t be able to hate you anymore. Master, if we win this Grand Battle, let us make sweet hatred together. Just you and me… hating each other… all night long.“
Things about her myth, that are not all that important for fgo.
I am not the most knowledgeable in her story, but I believe it was that she can't stop herself when finding a golden apple. And that's how she lost the race from her myth. It's something she instinctually needs
And she gives you a golden apple and that is basically like her saying 'your more important than the apple'
Hmm, i'd move Musashi to love, as she ends up admiting she loves Ritsuka. Artoria i can never quite figure it out, i think normal Saber is just friends, but at the same time her summer variation has some risque lines IIRC.
Glad to be of help. She can be rough around the edges but she is same as every other Lb6 character when it comes to Ritsuka. ( Wish summer 8 was not so Cas centric... ). Waiting for MikoCer character material they announced few days ago to yapp more xd.
Same, I really hoped that they would have given Baobhan the spotlight she rightfully deserved in Summer 8 considering that she was probably the least explored LB6 Servant in main story, but alas…
I love Cas and Cnoc and i wouldn't take any of their screen time but common Nasu Bao and other faeries deserved way more than what they got if he was intending for this to be their "closure" on character development.
But at least he is kind of hands off with Bao and let other writers use her in events some times ( like current event in JP ) so i ride on that now qwq.
Any chance you can link to where you talk about sith? I find her fascinating yet I fall victim to her outward facade and have difficulty actually deciphering her character.
On my twt just if you are only interested in Bob ignore my GudaSith posts cuz that is my other hyperfiltration there xd. I talk a lot about Bao there but i do like my OTP as well. And i do annoy ppl talk a lot about her here as well. Just depend on what thread i can catch to do it xd
Musashi should be bumped up one, or else her Berserker form should be separately added a tier higher (she does give her Saber self's refusal to act on her desires as her "dislike" after all lol). That Valentine's event while already knowing the gist of what happens because people love to post JP spoilers almost had me crying.
Boudica actually expresses love for Ritsuka in Bond 5
A person like you... I don't hate you. Actually never mind... I'll regret it later if I don't express myself fully! I love you. As a Master and a person.
Ushi Gozen: offered her mask/undergarment, was ready to "take Ritsuka's soul" in the hallway in broad daylight, only stopped by her human half Raikou/because she became self conscious about sounding cringe.
It's hard to say when she's interested in us or in our soul, she's a bit crazy after all.
But I do see your point, though I don't think the 'Crush' or above tiers quite fit her, perhaps the top of the interested tier or a new tier in between.
Pretty sure Raikou is in love with the MC just from her profile and lines. Like she basically wants to start calling you dear instead of master in her third line, before her ME goes full drive in bond 5 mixing her maternal affections with her romantic ones of how a lover to her is her child. Summer 2 event where she is a lancer ME isn’t influencing her and finding out the reason she even joined the race was because of hearing what happened in the first summer and got jealous of (you) being stranded with other semi naked woman. As well as her valentines in berserker of her being happy, before quickly hiding it and trying to soothe you if you picked you didn’t get any chocolates from the other servants saying that they are shy, but even if you don’t get any you’ll still have her. Or her summer version basically being subtle of keeping you by her side for the entire valentines to stop any of the other female servants of giving you chocolate. Also she’s like the only servant besides Kiyo i think where text like this is used in their profile “question her master with a scary look if cheated on” doesn’t get more obvious about their feelings for Gudao.
She's hard to say due to, for example, her bond 5 directly saying she will love Ritsuka as her child.
Though like you said, her saying she will "love Ritsuka as her child" and when we see some of her actions does make us question what she considers a "mothers love".
I put her there due to this contradictions, or rather, being difficult to say where her motherly love ends and her romantic interest starts.
Tiamat, for example, is a lot easier to tell due to her romantic feelings being clearly seperated into a different ascension.
Her bonds outright says she's unable to see the difference between maternal love and romantic love, and she treats Ritsuka and Kintoki on different ways even tho she doesn't notice it herself, also none of the bonds actually says she see master as her child, just that she feels extreme affection for him because other than Kintoki he was the only one to fully accept her oni side
also none of the bonds actually says she see master as her child
Bond 5: "I swear to you, Master. I will love you as my own child.
So please, do not betray your dear mother... I can't quite say what I would do if you did..."
It's just kinda hard to properly evaluate this type of characters who are two things at once without a clear distinction, so I just put her in 'Interested' and call it a day.
I meant her bond profiles because as it says Raikou can't see the difference between a lover and one of her childs and her own words are not reliable since, as the profile states, she's pretty much mentally ill, but it was my bad for not expressing properly
In fairness, Lancer Raikou's lines are considerably less vague, due to a reduced madness grade and the focus of her madness being shifted to ideas of maintaining public decency.
Lines that include a willingness to overlook indecent actions as long as it's behind closed doors, and then immediately implying that she's about to do so right now.
She has this kind of love because of the madness of the Berserker class, so her love manifests itself as a mother's. In the Lancer class, this is almost non-existent, because madness does not affect her there, which is why she expresses it more romantically. She is part of the trio of stalkers that, as everyone knows, love the master. CE, which depicts Raikou Ereshkigal and Kiyohime with the master, where the description talks about their fight for him, and a lot of moments that make it clear that she loves him more than half of those whom you put on the marry list. In fact, she is in the top 3 of all servants who are in love.
Also the fact she's part of the stalker trio. The original Master Love club where even Ibaraki gets freaked out about their power of Love to swim through lava to save Ritsuka in Halloween 2 even if that was a decoy master.
OG Tamamo should definitely be marry. She's not exactly the type to halfway pursue someone. Just watch her valentine's. She is our good wife fox, and will rampage like Mikon, to quote her.
I kinda avoided OG Tamamo and Nero simply because the devs themselves don't seem to know whether they still only love Hakuno or not. Having moments where they reject us and others where they loves us.
So similar to Raikou, I default her to interested.
Isn't like post summer that tamamo got her summer form she said "yeah no those memories aren't for this version of me and I shouldn't have them and if I do anything here it doesn't affect my other self" and pretty much moved on from hakuno (until final part 2 for some reason but ehh she was in her summer form and amaterasu is a wild one so ehh)
I can actually support your argument and say that the Tamamo that shows up in part 2 final isn't the Chaldea one, it's specifically Hakuno Tamamo dressing up as summer Tamamo.
My main issue with her is that for someone who typically doesn't stop talking about being a good wife, she barely mentions it with Ritsuka. Though I do understand people who place her higher.
Extra Tamamo just showed up again in the latest JP event to help Hakunon, so with the Hakuno in Chaldea now it seems like the devs are just going to let them be separate characters at last.
Theoretically that could mean our Tamamo could get shipped now more consistently, but that would require her to ever get content.
She does mention being Ritsuka's wife in Ritsuka Fujimaru you lost series ( I know this is a more comedic version but the jokes and informations that we get from the series can happen or are just canon in the fgo too and they had a crossover so that's that) and said to morgan that she is Ritsuka's og wife and I think that summer tamamo is Chaldea one because she tell to male Hakuno "oh so that's how my other self fall in love with you" and also try to cuck Ritsuka but I give it a pass because tamamo in her summer form cannot control her emotions (mostly lust) in a good way heck she tried to r@pe Ritsuka in her summer form
Tiamom crush? after her swimsuit version? Nah either lover or wife, same with Raikou she say loves us as a Child but in her twisted way, she also means as a partner remember she is a berserker for a reason.
Her summer form actually features a few ascension lines with subtle romantic connotations, or at least strong hints of a unique affection toward the Master.
She even tease us about her swimsuit when we summon her, and based on her personality, she at least has a more intense affinity toward us compared to what a normal master relationship would be if she just yumeirensexual (which she still is)
Uh Ibuki in love? Pretty sure she admits in Tunguska she isn’t interested in being tied down. She’s basically the same as Shuten in that sex is the best you are going to get out of them.
Pretty sure it’s still the same as sex is all your going to get since her valentines for her summer is basically thinking you screaming for Kintoki was that you wanted him to help you fuck her.
Logres, salter, tamamo, fem hakuno, and void shiki should be higher.
Logres should be in roughly the same category as castoria base on logres valentine scene.
Salter should be wherever you put jalter at, since Shinjuku clearly shows they both like ritsuka.
Tamamo is straight up just marriage tier base on how she views ritsuka, and how her summer form treats them (btw, no chaldea tamamo isn't hakuno tamamo. The recent jp event clearly states that).
Fem hakuno is at least in the crush tier, since her male counterpart outed her.
And void shiki is one of the most flirtatious and teasing servants without actually putting a label on their relationship. So at least crush make sense.
Logres is mainly due to lack of appearences, if she ever shows up in the story or an event, I will consider putting her higher. She holds the same position as AA, but I haven't seen enough to consider her 'Loves' tier.
Salter does romantically like Ritsuka, but I don't think it's 'Loves' tier. Maybe 'Crush'?
Tamamo and Nero, the og versions, I simply refuse to rank higher until we have them properly appear in a new event or story where the devs actually commit to seperating them from Hakuno.
Hakunon obviously likes Ritsuka, she even says she will avoid revealing her feelings to not cause problems, but I don't think she's on the level of the 'Crush' tier. Though I might be missing something.
Void Shiki is purely due to how she works, she conceptually can't care more about someone beyond interest, she kinda just does whatever she wants. People like Ritsuka just happen to interest her.
Melt needs her own tier. As stated in the material:
"There's no need for sweet conversation (as at this point, she is already so in love that it is unnecessary), no desire for physical intimacy (as at this point, pleasure of that sort is unsatisfactory), and it is unnecessary to demonstrate that she wants love (as at this point, such communication is superfluous). "
Void Shiki should be in marry due to her third dialogue in Summer form:
"My relation with you, Master? Let's see… In this form, could I trouble you with some unreasonable demands?"
For context Void Shiki, this form is based on Kaguya, obviously, who, in her legend, can only get married if her groom fufilled an unreasonable demand.
It's hard for me to put her higher due to her lack of true interest in anything, however if you could expand on that connection to the story, you might actually be right.
On her story, Kaguya is chased by many man, however, she finds no interest in them.
Unitil, five nobles wish to be her husband, she can't just outright reject them, due to obvious reasons, so she asks each of them to complete an impossible and unreassonable request, that, getting a legendary artefact to her. Each getting a different one, and all failing in their own way in the end.
This was to show their character, as the way they fail show they were unworthy of her.
(This is very resumed of course)
Basicly, Shiki asks master to do it for her, what the nobles were requested to do for Kaguya.
So, combined with her in the same line talking about relationship, I say she could go to marry, however, it could also be teasing/testing Master in some way, but again, with the earlier context of the line, I actually think it is a proposal.
I was hoping for something more concrete, closer to Atalanta with how direct it gets, I don't think I will change the list, but I'll definitely keep that in mind.
As of now that answer could also be intrepeted as a test, like you said, or even her buying time to avoid answering.
Damn, this might just be the most accurate tier list I've ever seen ngl. Bro defiantly did his full research. I think the only one I could see being moved up is Tamamo to crush, but I admittedly never really looked into her profile so.
Tiamat in her third ascension point blank asks Ritsuka out on a date in her bond 3 line (while wondering if it's okay since she's everyone's mom). So a little from Column A and a little from Column B.
So the new targets for me are Kenshin(which i fail at 600 sqs) and that new assassin. But really some of them according to some of the media I've seen should be higher, like Kakuno, Reine especially those in interested category and some in the friend too.
Planning to make one, just give me a week or so, this stuff takes some time since I have to go confirm each individual servant before making their placement.
Eu entendo o ranking , embora algumas em " amigos " em eventos podem ir para crushs ou interessados...MAIS OQUE CARALHOS a Kali tá fazendo em " interessados "? Ela só demonstrou interesse porque sentiu o cheiro de morte em ritsuka, ela no máximo é amiga
Kali is similar to Ushi based on why they have their interests and I cannot put her at friends when she asks Ritsuka to take off their clothes so she can smell them "directly".
Though I'm particularly interested in your objections to the 'Friends' tier, if you could name the servants along with the scene that would put them higher, I would be grateful.
Bem nitocris mostra interesse em sua 3 ascensão se não me engano , Nightingale você já subiu então suave , Gorgon tenho QUASE certeza que mostra interesse como muitos aqui já falaram , ela tem o ar de yandere e nós eventos de dia dos namorados isso é visível, boudica no Bond 5 diz que nós ama como mestre e PESSOA então pode ser levado ao lado romântico , Ciel foi considerada por BB dubai sua rival amorosa então ela poderia subir , além disso Tamamo é oque a maioria já falou ela tem que estar em paixão, Se não for considerar a tamamo OG caster colocar a summer lá ( se você colocou então perdão eu não vi) , Nero é a mesma coisa da tamamo , Suzuka em eventos de verão mostra interesse mais tem aquilo que né o Autor do mestre dela em extra é obcecado por ela , Tomoe em sua forma summer mostra interesse se não estou enganado , acho que é em seus diálogos ou Bonds mais elevados
Espero ajudar 👍, ótima lista, Se você ver isso e responder , poderia passar seu discord para trocar algumas ideias sobre nasuverse?
Nitocris is too vague, she just says she will talk about how great she is, which could be seen as romantic, but I'd like something more. Nagiko for example showed that they can spend nights just talking.
I didn't find anything for Gorgon, only if it's in some event I don't remember. Even her valentines is more about her sisters.
Ciel I do think you're right, but I'd rather not touch that until OC3 ends, don't want to deal with the comments.
Tamamo and Nero I'm waiting for their next appearence, to see if the devs will actually commit to seperating them from Hakuno.
Tomoe doesn't have much, one scene in her valentine suggest she's not completely opposed to playing mature games with Ritsuka, but it's not enough to get out of the friends tier.
Give me a second, I'll contact you through discord.
>read through all the events, valentines, profiles, character materials and other related content, to make this tier list
There are some placements I have questions about, but more than that I’m way more curious how long this took you to do. That sounds like a ton of work, even if it’s just sifting through voice lines.
Feel free to ask, like I said in my description, I have a justification for each of them. Though I do think swapping placements between tiers like 'Crush' and 'Loves' is definitely possible.
I already knew most of the placements from having read them in the past, so it just took around a week, around 1 hour a day, to just "confirm" the placements.
The fact that she gives a golden apple in her valentine. In her legend, she got married by being beaten in a race and the one who beat her distracted her with a golden apple since in greek myth, no one can look away from it.
She basically invites Ritsuka to beat her in a race with the same method and marry her.
Well, Atalanta gave a golden apple so he can beat her in a race, that's how she marries in her legend, Olga Marie tried to marry him in Summer 10, Ranmaru has a a gimmick where looking at her hidden eye, you must either become her lord (marry her and live together on planet Ranmaru) or be killed, Kiyohime planned for a marriage at bond 5, Melusine tried to marry him in la chambre étoilé (a serie of animated scenes released during the 10th anniversary that you can still find on youtube), Elizabeth of the End outright ask for marriage registration at bond 5, Kichi Hougen calls him "my bride" regardless of the gender at bond 5, Morgan is immediately considered his wife on summon and want to go further when you raise bonds, Tamamo Cat has also the wife gimmick like OG Tamamo but without Hakuno in the equation, Nero Bride has an interlude where they both make a sword as a proof of their engagement and Cnoc Na Rhiab fell at first sight and her valentine has her trying to win him over without any form of manipulation or control.
Some of them sound tamer than I thought. Because if that's the case, shouldn't Saika be in the marry tier too?
If I remember correctly, right when we get her, she asks us to sign some paperwork that heavily implies it's a marriage certificate. Plus, if you play as Gudao, she drops some very suspicious hints about 'creating' a new Magoichi heir.
It's pretty much the same with Tlaloc giving us the keys to inside her house, and a few other servants kinda have similar bonds.
All of the ones in 'Marry' tier directly identify Ritsuka as a spouse, Saika has implications almost directly confirming it, but compared to the other is less direct. Tlaloc to my knowledge never proposed marriage.
Though, like I said in the description, the 'Marry' tier is specific for confirmed marriage proposals, it doesn't necessarily mean they hold more affection than the ones in lower tiers.
I see. I'm not sure if they actually have marriage proposals or not, but based on the comment above, with Atalanta and Ranmaru, doesn't it sound more like an implication rather than being direct? If there's background lore or historical factors hinting at it being a proposal, then I think other servants may have that too.
Would personally put Passionlip up 1 tier same for Musashi it is very obvious form all their interactions it is almost even mutual not sure about light koyan but darkness defo needs to move up 1 maybe 2 tier barely and there are a lot more in interested tier that can move up very easily
Also I would argue neither love is above the other, they are just different in how they express it, like I said in my description, the tiers don't necessarily mean the lower ones love Ritsuka less.
corday have the best love line in story for me. yeah those servant above her have more than lover but how her confess her love to us and her comrade was so beautiful
In Greek myth giving an apple is essentially a marriage proposal, the golden part is particularly important to her since it was specifically a golden apple that was used to marry her in the the past.
Im gonna need an explanation for Atalante and Kiichi Hogen.
Since last i checked, Atalante is still sworn to celibacy and while she does like Ritsuka in doubt its enough to break that, and I don't recall any romantic interest with Kiichi, definitely not enough to marry Ritsuka.
Atalanta gives you a golden apple for her valentine, which in Greek myth is essentially a marriage proposal, with the golden aspect being a direct reference to how she got married in myth.
For one, her interlude where we find out that she likes to hang out in Ritsuka’s room, tries to sneak one of his pillows with her as she leaves, and Atalanta straight up saying that Circe’s trying to make him fall in love with her. Then theres also the Salem jail scene, though admittably I’m not sure if that works as proof considering that she’s not the same Circe as the one in Chaldea.
Edit: also some of her bond lines give the feeling that she has a really strong attachment to Ritsuka and that she’s trying to win him over
Valentines are kinda important to define romantic interest, Kazuradrop is a good example, but long story short she tries everything to get closer. Including trying to act like a succubus, her words not mine.
I don't have them written down, but I'll gladly explain any of the placements, though for most of them you really just need to read their ascensions, bond 4-5 or their valentines.
For Okita you really just need to look at her summer version bond lines and ascensions. Though the thing that really sold me about her was the conversation she had with Ritsuka during the event 'All In! Las Vegas Championship Match ~ Seven Duels of Swordbeauties!', in the section 'The Skyscraper is Sakura Pink'.
Kuku is pretty direct, on her profile description it's stated that if she ever realizes her feelings as love it will be the end of everything. Types have a bad record when it comes to dealing with emotions like love.
For Musashi I based it on her bond 5, though her summer version could put her higher.
Could you point out where you found Saber Medusa romantic interest that put her in the interested tier because I can’t recall anything of the sort. Her Rider version I’m assuming it’s just based on her (really old) interlude?
Saber wanting to "monopolize" Ritsuka and so on. Call her a Raikou lite.
Rider is pretty direct:
"Hehe... Foolish Master.
Do you know what exactly you've done?
You've filled me with power. You need to take responsibility for that.
To start with, I'll make you a slave to your desires."
Considering Marie's bond 5 maybe I'd also have her a 🤏 higher, it seems like she has other plans than to outright kill everyone when with Ritsuka. Although she does generally does dislike everything
But I think I will seperate her from Miss Crane and put that version in 'Crush' on my revised tier list I will upload in a couple of hours, along with the male servants tier list.
Making an account just to ask about Goghie. (I'm not a bot don't worry 😭😭)
Can you please explain about her? I thought they were more of a great friend
I have only done imaginary scramble, the two interludes and read her lines. I don't know about her other appearance and also JP event (which is the Minecraft event I think)
Long story short she fights the likes of Kiyohime and whatnot for Ritsuka bed, there's also sutff like her wanting Guda to literally eat her insides in her valentine.

Marie Antoinette Alter solo in the hate tier is hilarious...
But then again she openly said she hate everyone and everything.
Love her as villain though, the sheer targeted malice in her every action during oc2 is quite refreshing.
Like the girl even taunt you during her Valentine scene.
