The only thing I could find on Tonbogiri related to Bleach was from a fan-fiction wiki, which I presume isn't what Deathhappens had in mind. There is a Zanpakuto named Haguro Tonbo though, so maybe he got mixed up with that?
It's entirely irrelevant anyway
Best anime tonbogiri is Horizon
Though abandoned, forgotten, and scorned as out-of-date dolls, they continue to carry out their mission, unchanged from the time they were designed.
Machines do not lose their worth when a newer model appears.
Their worth (life) ends when humans can no longer bear that purity.
Hmm, yes, apparently that was it. Should I be happy I'm starting to forget that stuff, or sad because apparently my memory is leaking like a sieve again?
shit BL says
Once and always and nevermore.
I don't know why I didn't think of it sooner, but the bit about Grand Casters and Clairvoyance made me think of somebody like Nostradamus.
N-No don't.
But if she fires beams wouldn't she be a Saber rather than a Caster?
I bet she realigns constellations to fire cosmic lasers
So she attacks with a "shooting" star? Neat.
Slap five stars, a Charisma and some generic moe traits on it and you're done.

Grand Saber would be Musashi with his wooden sword that can cleave the sky in half
Spoiler:
Wandering on internet
That's actually scarily plausible, especially since we know there's another Heroic Spirit Musashi than the one we have already.
Plus, thematically, it'd make some sense for Grand Saber to be a "pure" swordsman, not a knight or king like Arturia.
yeah like how the Grand Assassin was a pure assassin and not an armored swordsman that can magically blot out the sky and possess others and
Localizationing stuff
For one thing, I just said that it would make thematic sense in my mind, not that'd be the only possible option by any means. No need to get pointlessly snarky at me.
And your example falls flat even by your own logic. The founder of the Hashashin is very much famous for assassinating people (or at least ordering assassinations), while my point was someone like Arturia is famous more for her feats as a king and hero than just being really good with a sword. Yeah, she is very good with a sword (as pretty much all Sabers are), but if you were to ask someone to name what traits they associate with Arthur; "king of Britain" and "wielder of Excalibur" would almost certainly come before "master swordfighter".
Musashi, on the other hand, is a hero entirely due to his swordsmanship. If not for that, he just would've been a random dude who beat up and killed a bunch of other random dudes and bashed a guy over the head with an oar once. That's why I think he'd be more fitting as Grand Saber than someone who was a swordsman but was famous for lots of other stuff too. Again, obviously there's other options; I'm just outlining one that makes thematic sense to me.
You missed the point because you focused on what the Servant can do as a Servant, whereas I was talking about what they were famous for in their original life/legend. Regardless of what else he can do as a Servant, King Hassan is absolutely famous as an assassin more than anything else, so your insinuation that he's a counterexample to my claim is completely false.

Super famous sword trumps super famous sword skills
Name Musashi’s sword you can’t
if you don't reply in a minute you had to google it
That's the thing though; I think it makes more sense the greatest swordsman (which Grand Saber presumably is) would be someone with super famous sword skills, rather than just having a super famous sword.
