I mean mordred did take semi out of commission, and she herself doesn‘t have s reason to hold on as long as possible unlike semi. Like this isn‘t even a situation where she failed after all her effort, but more doing her job then leaving without watching the fireworks.Originally Posted by Laserman

Well when your evil sister is like "Imma steal it" and then chucks it into a river when nobody's around...
Localizationing stuff
Sakura is actually a soap opera heroine, though
Ok but at what point during your military campaign do you not have your sword (and the sheath that goes with it) by your side? Let alone a sheath which is also your most potent magical artefact, Rhongomyniad wank notwithstanding?
Listen, there are about a billionty versions of the legend of King Arthur, just go read one of those for an account of Morgan stealing Excalibur's sheath.
Do their versions come with cute 5ft nothing King Arthurs who are pathologically unable to relax and have fun?
I was making an off-hand comment, but if you actually have a plausible explanation for how this Saber lost something that should by all rights be glued to her hip, I'm all ears.
Le Morte, which is probably the most popular version of the story and the one that clearly has the most influence on Type Moon's version of events, is that Arthur feared an attack and so slept with his hands on his drawn sword, and so his sis was like I guess I'll take the sheath then.

There's all sorts of holes you could poke in that story, but I think I'll choose to take it as another instance of "Instinct: Working as Intended".
Morgan: Sneaks into Saber's tent in the middle of the night, dagger gleaming as a stray ray of moonlight reflects on its blade. She pauses for a moment, choosing her target,and strikes.
Saber: Rolls over at the last possible moment, mumbling something that sounds suspiciously like "seconds,please".
Morgan: "Fine, then. If I cannot take your life, then at least I can claim that holy sword that-"
*Sees Artoria is currently hugging Excalibur like a teddybear*
" ...you know what? Fuck it. Sheath it is. With this I can be assured she'll die of old age, if nothing else."
Okay, that's pretty hilarious.
man this myth has so many plot holes what a piece of shit
- - - Updated - - -
why didn't herk's bravery protect him from hera's mental interference, plot hole
why didn't kojiro just wear sunglasses or stand facing north, plot hole
As in "it doesn't work in regards to the Saber we know", yes. It's not a plot hole (and I didn't call it as such) because it's not part of the same plot, but it is bullshit all the same.
Yes why didn't a servant skill that has a spotty record at best even when saber is fighting warn alive saber in her sleep. What sort of crap is this.
"An ideal is only an ideal after all. As long as you embrace that ideal, the friction with reality will continue to increase. So you will someday face reality and will have to pay for your compromises"
Why are you all so focused on Instinct specifically when there's a thousand other reasons why Morgan shouldn't have been able to just waltz up to Saber's room and snatch her most valuable artifact?
Instinct is like, the tip of the iceberg here.
Probably because you were the one to mention Instinct...
And why wouldn't a powerful mage not able to sneak around in the castle anyways? Hell she even went in and got genetic materials to make mordred before.
"An ideal is only an ideal after all. As long as you embrace that ideal, the friction with reality will continue to increase. So you will someday face reality and will have to pay for your compromises"
I was rather pointedly making a joke about it while mentioning how many holes that particular story had.
Lemme see, how about... guards? Other members of the KotR, none of which liked her very much (including her "son" and her spy)? Saber herself not leaving Avalon lying around like an idiot? Merlin being Merlin?
To me, the actual "plot-hole" isn't that Morgan managed to sneak in at all (she's a witch, I'm sure she can find a way) but why she didn't simply kill Arturia right there rather than just stealing the scabbard. Instinct letting Arturia subconsciously dodge attacks while sleeping is actually a reasonable (if silly) way to explain that.
You underestimate evil plotting women
but then again, I guess Morgan is the same as Semi and Medea in your eyes anyway, so its not that surprising

Avalon the magical healing scabbard is RIGHT NEXT TO Saber
Did all of you forget how massive of a boon Avalon is?
I'm pretty sure a slit throat isn't even going to kill Artoria if Avalon is right there
Replace "stealing the scabbard" with "stealing her genes to spawn Mordred" and you've got something I've actually been wondering about for a while now.
That's not needed. Everyone was going to go full chuuni because the deed was already done. Sure, it could take time, but the only way to prevent everyone from going full chuuni was to take it to fairyland. The Gardens were not needed. If anything, they needed the Gardens precisely to defend it and avoid someone else taking it to fairyland or something, but the Grail was going to do what they wanted anyway.
For all we known, Morgan may have an skill or trait that makes Instinct and whatever countermeasure Seiba or anyone had at the time, meaningless, and it's not like it's explicitly said that they were expecting someone to steal it or something.
