Sugitani ZenjubouWP (杉谷善住坊WP, Sugitani Zenjūbō?), Class Name Archer (アーチャー, Āchā?), is an Archer-class Servant summoned by Ritsuka Fujimaru in the Grand Orders of Fate/Grand Order.
Profile
Identity
A talented sniper of the Sengoku period. In 1570, at the Rokkaku clanWP's request, he attempted to assassinate Oda Nobunaga, but was unsuccessful.
While born male, Sugitani's gender was changed by Kashin Koji to better hide after he became a fugitive from his failed attempt on Nobunaga's life. Though while Kashin had offered to change his appearance, Sugitani hadn't expected to be turned into a woman. [1]
History records that after three years on the run, Sugitani was finally caught by Isono KazumasaWP and executed by gradual beheading. Aside from the attempted shooting, the only known records of him are as a famous marksman born in the Sugitani region.

Personality
Relationships
- Oda Nobunaga / Oda Nobunaga (Avenger)
- "The Nobunaga I knew didn't look like that..."
- "Nobunaga? Oh right, the Nobunaga I knew and the one here are really different. Then again, this Nobunaga's true nature hasn't changed at all. Ahhh, that's awful."
- "Whoa! Is that really Nobunaga!? I'm itching to shoot her, but I bet there'd be pretty serious repercussions if I did... Well, I'll at least set things up so I won't miss any opportunity that might arise."
- Kashin Koji
- "Found you!!! Hey, Kashin Koji! How dare you change my sex! ...Well, it's probably too late to change me back now, so it's fine! Actually, don't you dare change me back without telling me first!"
- EMIYA Alter
- "Whoa, a dual wielder!? That Emiya fellow sure is something! ...Hey, what's up with those bullets? When they hit the enemy, they explode. Huh? A Reality Marble? Terrifying!"
- Billy the Kid
- "Even though we're from different times, there's something wrong with the way that Billy boy brandishes such a tiny gun. ...I see. So he may not be crazy, but his skills are?"
- Anne Bonny and Mary Read
- "That Anne Bonny girl... Don't you think the two of us are too alike? We both carry guns. We aren't the same because I don't assault you, so I shouldn't worry too much? I see, that's goo—what do you mean, assault!?"
- Lancelot
- "Who the heck's the dark knight!? Why'd he just pull out a twenty millimeter rotary cannon for his Noble Phantasm!? Not fair! I want to use that too! Lend me one!"
- Kiara Sessyoin
- "Hey, hey, what's up with that Kiara woman!? How come she seems so divine!? Oh, a Bodhisattva? Well if she's a Bodhisattva, then I guess...that tracks... Okay, then I'm going to go and have a chat with her!"
Role
Fate/Grand Order
Traum: Realm of the Thanatos Impulse
He serves under Kriemhild. When Salome joins the Righteous Realm spies to help Ritsuka escape from the Revenge Realm, Kriemhild sends Sugitani and Hassan of the Hundred Faces after them. They two kill the spies, though Hundred Faces dies fighting Salome. Sugitani shoots Salome while the traitorous princess continues to help Ritsuka escape, shattering her Spirit Core. Once Salome leaves Ritsuka to escape on their own, Sugitani shoots Salome again, finally killing her. As a monk, Sugitani feels he should say something, so she apologizes to the now absent Salome, saying "it is the way of things here in Warring States." Immediately afterwards he returns to the Revenge Realm along with Kriemhild.
Far later when Chaldea conducts its final assault on the Revenge Realm, a large number of servants are summoned by Zhang Jue to help him in his fight against allied strike force keeping him pinned down. However out of the blue a large number of Zhang Jue's reinforcements are shot by a sniper before they can join the battle. The allied strike force is confused, and Zhang Jue realizes the one who sniped his reinforcements was none other than Sugitani and demands to know if they've turned traitor. Sugitani retorts that he had actually been a Servant loyal to Proper Human History all along and had just been waiting for a chance to help dismantle this singularity. However Zhang Jue managed to strike him down with a single long-distance spell, but this in turn had been a ploy on Sugitani's part to get the taoist to drop his guard. Immediately Zhang Jue was felled by a tag team combo from Don Quixote and Bradamante. Afterwards the allied team was left wondering who the mysterious sniper who'd helped them had been and Sugitani managed to get off a last pained prayer for Chaldea to complete the mission before his spirit core faded.

Abilities
Skills
Class Skills
- Magic Resistance (D Rank)
- Independent Action (EX Rank)
Personal Skills
- Sniping Environment (C Rank): A variant of Territory Creation. Just like a mage setting up a workshop, this skill allows the user to prepare an environment for sniping. If the skill is ranked C, the user will be capable of firing accurately beyond the limits of human and weaponry.
- Disengage (Reloading) (C+ Rank)
- Camouflaged Sniping (B Rank): Changing to a standby state intended for sniping and activates the camouflage ability, making detection by the naked eye difficult. As long as the user is not detected by a Mind's Eye of a higher rank or by a variant skill, attacks directed at them will miss. As time passes, the user's accuracy increases. However, the moment they attack, the camouflage state is removed.
Noble Phantasms
Sugitani Zenjubou's Noble Phantasm is Two Shots Fired, a technique of loading two bullets into a Tanegashima matchlock gun and firing them simultaneously to increase the accuracy and destructive power of the shot.
Development
