I'm going to cry about Yuki fate/ class meta in here cuz I would be embarrassed getting too carried away in the discord server

wow

due to not actually being a fate/ Servant the only class thing I put on tree's info gathering post was 'if the rat spirit were a Servant it would be Rider' which is bc

that is literally the defining trait in the story

sits

the rat is the first to the banquet bc it rides on the ox

i was laughing about inheriting rat charisma bc [looks at ultimate breeder]

fakeharmless: CRYING

THAT'S TRUE

looks at ruler covered in frogs in his intro

nods sagely

the spoopiest disney princess

BUT ANYWAY ON A TECHNICAL LEVEL, Yuki has none of the more literal qualifiers on his own because he doesn't use weapons and isn't insane

doesn't even have a driver's license or anything

BUT IF YOU IGNORE TECHNICAL QUALIFIERS AND GO BY FATE/ STORY/TROPE META, YUKI VIBES V V KNIGHT CLASS AND PARTICULARLY SABER

Yuki Saber Kyo Lancer don't @ me

but to me one of the defining Saber themes/attributes is the sense of like. isolation in leadership

u can also just make urself saber if u want /nero voice

that's true u can

anyway Yuki goes from

being alone on the pedestal of being 'special'/good at everything/untouchable prince above normal people etc

to wanting to reach out and help others work through things that he struggled with

which is Rider,

so anyway I hurt myself. bye

good job that's good but also funny u hurt urself

OF ALL THE ZODIACS I FEEL YUKI REALLY REJECTED BEING A 'ZODIAC' AND A 'SOHMA' THE MOST. obv almost all of them have their own problems around it but Yuki is the one who literally opens the series with 'the Zodiac legend is a stupid fairytale. it's just an astrological calendar based on math'

that level of vitriol towards the whole idea, his opinion on Kyo wanting to be accepted by the family when in Yuki's eyes he could Just Not

and his arc IS about getting out of the framework of the Sohmas, and the resolution is that the curse is broken, but part of him getting free of it is also letting go of his rejection of it and his rejection of that part of himself

so moving into the rat class is cute and good thanks
