Also, how do you view the No Name Assassin, who has both the "exploding head" Zabaniya, the "crushing heart" Zabaniya and many more?

It does happen, but you're reaching.
I used the Gae Bolge example to point out that while you can pass on a sword or a spear, a physical act is harder to recreate
Those are techniques that she was able to reproduce, so she got them as Noble Phantasms.Also, how do you view the No Name Assassin, who has both the "exploding head" Zabaniya, the "crushing heart" Zabaniya and many more?
That Lancelot is so insanely skilled with anything close a weapon he touches isn't a style or an assassination technique. It's the sum of a lifetime of training, battle and talent.
It is who he is as a person and a combatant. It's not a trick the Hassans had to develop through a lot of hard work that could be reproduced by No Name.
No they don't establish a pattern, for the reasons others have listed above. Samson and Lancalot have exactly nothing to do with eachother.
Balmung says that it changes based on the user's alignment. Sigmund's could have been the Demonic Sword Version.
Tweak it to be "Knight of Faith - Where the Jaw Crushed the Philistines" or something whacky like that. Bob's your uncle.

You know, I'll just drop it then. Is less of a headache.
any comments on the other aspects of that Servant?
The rest looks fine to me.
I didn't realize there was anything in Gram/Balmung's legend that could make it pass for a demonic sword.
Unless all that incest turned it evil somehow
All the familicide, I'd have thought. Sigmund kills his nephews with it, and Regin reforges it for the murder of his brother by Sigurd, and then he kills his brother-in-law with it as he dies.
Also possibly a transferred property of Óttar's gold.

Didn't Arondight become a demonic sword when Lance used it to kill Gawain? Or something along those lines.
Mordred and pals killed Gawain.
Ragnarok, come day of wrath
That fallen souls might bear our plea.
To hasten the Divine's return.
O piteous Wanderer.
Gawain's brothers.
Don't read too much into it. The term "demonic sword" comes from a translation of the japanese 魔剣 (maken), which can also mean "magic sword".
Pretty sure it's Demonic Sword in this case otherwise that comparison makes a lot less sense.
Yes, context is important.
Yes, that is what you have taught me.
Berserker
Gender: Female
Alignment: Chaotic Mad
Place of birth: Germany
STR: C
END: C
AGI: B
MAG: A
LUCK: D
NP: B
Class Skill
Mad Enhancement (B): Rank up for all parameters, however most of one’s sanity is taken away. Berserker has only her sorrow and rage at being betrayed left and will lash out at anyone who she sees fit.
Personal Skills
Mystic Form (C): Berserker possesses the ability to enchant those who gaze upon her. Anyone who looks on her will irrevocably fall in love if they lack appropriate Magic Resistance. They will desire to possess her no matter what, which will inevitably lead to their doom. Under the effects of Mad Enhancement, this skill is always active.
Divinity (D-): The measure of aptitude of a Divine Spirit. As a water spirit, Berserker possesses a low rank in this skill.
Protection of the Fairies (C): The ability to raise Luck in dangerous situations. Berserker is, in some interpretations of her tale, a fairy maiden, and thus she is able to call on their aid if necessary. Compensates somewhat for her Luck stat, which is low even with the boosts from Mad Enhancement.
Noble Phantasm
Lied der Rhinetöchter – Come, Die with me on the Rocks (B, Anti-Mind): The song of the Lorelei that lured countless men to their deaths. When Berserker starts to sing, all who listen have their doubts and worries cast away, losing themselves into the ecstasy of the song. As the song continues, the listener’s mind will slowly break down, until it eventually melts wholly into the melody. Those enthralled by the song become nothing more than puppets under Berserker's command, though her fragile sanity means they will be running on instinct as much as she is. They have no will of their own and it is unlikely they will even notice when they die. The closer the listener is to Berserker, the faster the deterioration takes place, and the song’s effect physically compels the listeners to move closer to Berserker as she sings. A successful Luck or Magic Resistance check will be enough to resist the song’s effect however, the checks adjust downwards, so the longer she continues to sing, the more likely it is the listeners will be enthralled.
Note
Thing I did on a whim after listening to Die Lorelei. Everyone else's profiles seem so much longer than mine, but I can't really think of anything else to say. The German in the NP name is courtesy of Google translate and if it's bad please correct it for me.

I guess it varies from a version to version, but I'm sure there is at least one account where Gawain is killed by a Lancelot in a duel.Mordred and pals killed Gawain.
Silly one here:
Class: Shielder
Gender: Female
Alignment: True Neutral
STR: C
END: B > A
AGI: E
MAG: A
LCK: D
Story
Shielder is Svalinn, the legendary shield of Norse mythology that stands before the sun...
Or at least, she’s a shard of it. After some cataclysmic eventprobably something to do with the moon just cause, Svalinn was shattered, it’s pieces falling to Earth and each one given a bodybecause Nasuverse that’s why.
Shielder quickly met up with Ruler and Saberbecause again Nasuverseand the three set out to find theDragon BallsStar Piecesother selves: beating up other Servants and forcing them to help along the way.
Class Skills:
Guardian Knight: C
Shielder gains a Rank-Up to her Endurance if guarding someone.
Personal Skills:
Presence Concealment: D (EX)
Makes her suitable for spying. In her original form, she was completely undetectable.
Magic Resistance: E+
Cannot cancel spells, but damage is reduced and she absorbs 1/3 of the attack’s prana if it hits. In her original form, she instead had a skill called Magic Absorption at EX rank.
Rune Magic: E+
Shielder knows only 3 of the 24 Elder Futhark runes, but she can use them very easily.
Haglaz: Summons a hail cloud to rain upon a group of enemies.
Isaz: Traps a single enemy in ice, costing them their turn.
Laguz: Brings a waterfall down on a single enemy.
Independent Action: B+
Capable of remaining in the world for two days without an established contract, and also capable of surviving for a some time after suffering heavy damage to her core. However, she does not waste prana by simply staying still, so that time can be extended infinitely as long as she remains immobile.
Noble Phantasm:
Icing Draught: I Who Stand Before The Shining Deity
Type: Barrier
Rank: D+++
A barrier of ice surrounds Shielder and the entire party, greatly lowering the damage and absorbing half the prana of any attack that hits. Shielder does not lose her turns while it’s active, and it’s effects last until either the ice wall is broken or three turns have past.
It will completely negate and absorb any attack if it is light, fire or electric based (like Excalibur), regardless of it’s strength.

Nasu Gawain died fighting Mordred's side when they struck a wound that hadn't fully healed from his Lancelot fight.
