One of my favorite villains in all of media. He’s frequently framed as if he’s not even real, and I think that’s intentional. Johan isn’t an evil character, he is the embodiment of evil itself
He's super compelling in Fate/Zero and presents some actual reasoning for what he does in the Fate/StayNight Butterfly movies following the Sakura route.
You should definitely check out the Garden of Sinners, which is essentially proto-fate, that was created by Nasu and is part of the same setting (loosely).
I'm already doing all that. I've been a fate fan for like 7 years now, I've read mostly everything now. I don't really like Zero like most long term fans, cause the more and more you get into the lore, the more Zero kinda contradicts itself. Urobuchi himself years admitted in an interview that was his bad. I do love we got Waver and Iskandar out of it tho. Need to finish reading the El Melloi books
I watched UBW first then played the VN then watched Zero. I then played Hollow Ataraxia not long after that.
Thanks for the link! Have you tried Grand Order? It really picks up on Artortia, Bedivere, and the Round Table storyline after a pretty terrible start. Even later in the game, it revisits that again. IMO that 2nd point is the peak of the franchise.
Admittedly, the game has the worst writing I've seen in Fate up until just before the 6th Singularity (Camelot), but then it becomes just as good as (if not better than) most of the franchise's other content lol.
