Also, "ingrained" has the implication of "instinctual", and such things, like his Eye of the Mind, aren't affected by ME.

    Although saying that Lancelot getting EAM might've influenced the anime portrayal can't be discounted.

    I can assure you that Gen first though about using a Berserker with sword-skills and afterwards wondered how to justify it

    The percentile chance of Uro going "I want a Berserker who is also a fucking ninja" before coming up with Eternal Arms Mastership as the justification is somewhere around 100%

    Lancelot's EAM comes from being a guy who was supposedly peerless with any weapon iirc. Hercules invented an attack that hits 100 times at once for his bow then applied it to every other weapon that exists.

    Doesn't it come from beating up people with a branch?

    He can't trace Divine Constructs. Except when he can suddenly because of plot/animation teams.

    I thought Knight of Honor came from the branch not EAM.

    He could've just said "lol no scrapped" instead of coming up with a reason

    which is kind of

    what is being talked about

    authors making up reasons for silly things.

    EAM is inborn IIRC so it might literally just be the good ol' LANCELOT IS THE GREATEST GUYS

    Thanks for the answers

    And i'm pretty sure EAM comes from Lance being said to be the greatest martial artist of his era.

    What about 'CCC is already late and it would take time and money to create a substitute for this'? Urobuchi had nearly free reign with how he wanted to handle Lancelot; Nasu didn't have the same luxury with the programmers.

    No. It comes from an inborn ability. The level of that ability is at the point where the ability's owner is said to be the greatest of his era.

    If anything I think Herk's rank would be even higher because unlike Lancelot he actually conquered his insanity, and EAM's components are body, mind and soul, in all of which Herk should exceed Lance.
