ALL POSTSQuestion about Heroic Spirits
<p>I have a somewhat confusing question about Heroic Spirits. Do they exist outside of the regular parallel worlds? I'm wondering this due the fact that the Fate/Extra series has had appearances from servants from stay night, Zero, and Apocrypha in that game (with none of the them having separate pages such as in Lancer (Cú Chulainn) or Lancer of Red's case) and the fact that Gilgamesh has separate pages for his appearances in different works in which most use his stay night appearance where he retains his Archer-class (with the exception of Prototype or appearing as a different class such as in Grand Order or Fate/Extra). This also the case with material books as well, such in the Fate/Apocrypha book, in Joan of Arc' section, Gilles de Rais (Caster version) is listed as her natural enemy, and while he does appear in Apocrypha he resembles his Saber version more than his Caster version.

<p>Heroic Spirits and the Throne of Heroes exist outside of the time axis and the different timelines and all that, yes. However, Fate/EXTRA and its sequels are not summoning from the Throne of Heroes, but the records of the Moon Cell so there isn't any direct continuity between the EXTRA versions of the Servants and the FSN versions, with the exception of Artoria due to her unique summoning circumstances in FSN.
</p><p>The Wiki actually <i>did</i> have separate pages for the EXTRA versions of Cu Chulainn and Karna until very recently and still has a separate page for Gilgamesh. Honestly, I think merging the Cu and Karna pages was a strange move and I don't...entirely see the logic behind it. If we are merging alternate versions of characters because they are <i>technically</i> the same person, we should probably do the same for all of these GO variants that are basically "the exact same character, but in a different class" or "the same character, but younger". (Saber Lily was even merged with Artoria proper until GO despite GO being clear they are the same character at different points in life)
</p><p>I haven't watched the anime up to that point (if it's gotten there), but if I recall, the Giles who appears initially appears as Jeanne knew him (using the design that GO would later use as his Saber design) and then 'morphs' into his Caster design to show how depraved he became.

<p>I was going off the picture on his article, I've only seen the episodes that were released on Netflix (which are up to episode 12). But thanks for answering that, that is what I thought considering Fate/Labyrinth uses servants from other works (including Extra). Considering Kiritsugu, Irisviel, Kirei, and others now have separate articles for their appearance in Fate/kaleid it might be a good time to suggest that for Cu Chulainn and Karna to have their separate pages restored as well.
