''A single death is a tragedy, a million dead is a statistic.'' - the most well known quote of Joseph Stalin which was attributed falsely to him by numerous sources. Though, it may have been falsely attributed to him, Stalin has taken quite the liking to this particular quote which is representative of this Noble Phantasm. What is manifested as his Noble Phantasm is the Reign of Terror that Stalin led during his life-time. The form this Noble Phantasm takes is that of a powerful explosive waiting to be launched at Stalin's command with the purpose of purging anyone who dares to oppose Stalin in the Holy Grail War.
Because the purpose of the bomb is purge all of Stalin's enemies, what is manifested here is essentially an explosive with the concept of ''Absolutely destroying human civilization''. This is because Stalin's enemies are quite literally everyone besides his own self. When launched against heroes that have episodes in their legend in which they protected a town or similar (such as Saint Martha), the rocket's explosive power is immensely reduced as the hero in question is experienced in protecting civilization - which is the counter to the Noble Phantasm's ''destruction of civilization''. On the other hand, when launched against an enemy that has no anecdotes of having protected civilization, the power of the explosive will be at it's maximum so a rank up will be granted.
A side effect of this Noble Phantasm is it's constantly active secondary ability, which based off on the part of Stalin's Reign of Terror where no one dared deny Stalin or lie to him and no one was save from his dark ambitions. Stalin will instantly see through any lie or deception aimed at him because he was popularly said to have trusted no one - not even his own self. It might be needless to note, but it could be said that this passive effect would make Stalin immune to Adolf Hitler's
Charisma (Distorted) skill.
Pravaya Ruka
Symbol of the Dictator's Shame
Type: Anti-Self
Rank: E
Range: 0
Max. Target: 1 person (self)
Stalin's right hand which is the symbol of his biggest shame. It is the hand that was damaged and deformed in life, leaving it shorter than his left hand. Stalin tried to conceal it in life, but in modern time, it became somewhat of an iconic symbol for his insecurity. As such, it has been manifested as a Noble Phantasm which could be considered akin to a curse for Stalin. While Stalin was able to rid himself of his scars and old age upon his manifestation as a Servant, his deformed right hand follows him even into the next life as a symbol of his misery.
Because the hand is iconic of him, Stalin is forced to conceal it at all times and anyone who sees the appearance of his right hand under cloth or when directly comparing it to his left hand will immediately know of Stalin's true identity. Furthermore, it ranks down his LCK stat and makes him appear as an easy target to some. Because the right hand in question is clearly dysfunctional, Stalin is unable to cast any spells requiring the usage of his right hand which can be considered a clear weakness for a Servant of the Caster class. Though he may be unable to cast spells with it, the hand is still usable for some forms of combat. However, there is a positive effect to this Noble Phantasm as well. Since it is proof of Stalin's resilient and rebellious nature, if his Master were to die Stalin will shamefully force his body to stay in the world for a full day before disappearing, making it possible for him to make another contract without disappearing immediately.
Phantasmal Red Army
Soviet's Mythical Armed Forces
Type: Anti-Army
Rank: A+++
Range: 1-99
Max. Target: 1000 people
Stalin's most powerful Noble Phantasm and his true trump card. It is the Red Army that loyally followed his every command in life, or it should have been... What has manifested here is an army of chimeras which were the result of human warriors being merged with powerful phantasmal beasts through experimentation. These beasts feel no pain and they listen to Stalin's every command without question because they are unable to re-enact anything other than Stalin's commands. They possess unnatural strength due to each unit having
Monstrous Strength (A). Furthermore, they also possess heightened senses and advanced agility.
Each unit has
Independent Action (E) and they carry both modern artillery and large blades and spears on their bodies. Since they are essentially treated as phantasmal beasts, the units are weak against any hero with anecdotes of slaying beasts. The reason why Stalin possesses this Noble Phantasm is tied to the modern myth in which Stalin wished for a powerful, inhuman army of beast-man hybrids that would feel no pain, have unnatural strength and listen to every command their ruler gives them without question. Though he had tasked Russian scientists with the task of creating him a phantasmal Red Army, none of them had succeeded and it is even questionable in the first place whether Stalin truly asked for such experiments to be held, but because the myth is heavily connected to his name in the modern age, Stalin has become capable of manifesting the phantasmal Red Army as a Reality Marble under special conditions.
The conditions are simple. Because Stalin is a modern dictator who does not possess powerful magic in general, he is unable to manifest this Reality Marble that revives a powerful glimpse of the Age of Gods with his own power. In order to be able to activate this Noble Phantasm, Stalin needs a powerful mana battery he could borrow from for the sake of constructing his Reality Marble. If his Master was Illya or Sakura Matou from the Heaven's Feel scenario, the manifestation of this Noble Phantasm would be possible, but any normal Magus - regardless of the quality of their circuits and talent - will not be able to give Stalin enough mana for him to construct the Reality Marble. If Stalin were to attempt to use this Reality Marble while having no powerful mana battery, his Master will be instantly drained of their mana and will therefore die.
