Background
Fujimaru joined Chaldea under unusual circumstances: he fainted during a blood donation and subsequently became involved with the organization. He later recounts this beginning openly to Xiu Er while showing him around Chaldea. 162
As Chaldea’s Master, Fujimaru is responsible for entering Singularities and helping restore the affected world to its original state. Though his magical talent is considered poor and his physical condition is that of an ordinary human, his position as the last Master of Human Order is regarded as irreplaceable. 142 154 241
Personality
Fujimaru remains calm and serious when facing hostile or incomprehensible opponents. During his first encounter with Xiu Er, he notices that the vastly stronger figure is defending rather than attempting to kill them, and chooses dialogue over immediate escalation. 143 144
He strongly favors peaceful solutions, even when circumstances force combat. He attempts to understand enemies’ motives, negotiates to resolve Nitocris’s misunderstanding, and is unsettled by Xiu Er’s view that armed confrontation is the most efficient way to gain power. 154 180 183
Fujimaru is empathetic and attentive to his companions’ welfare. He worries over Mashu’s health, seeks restorative potions for Dr. Roman, and remains concerned for Bedivere despite the knight’s decision to confront the Lion King. 166 172 250
His openness extends to unfamiliar allies. Although initially frightened and overwhelmed by Xiu Er, Fujimaru gradually learns to understand the Mecha-Kai’s blunt behavior, trusts him enough to travel together, and repeatedly tries to define their relationship as friendship. 153 155 163 165
Abilities & Skills
Master Command and Tactical Direction
Fujimaru directs Servants and companions during operations despite lacking their combat strength.
- Ordered Mashu to deploy her Noble Phantasm as a protective barrier when Xiu Er threatened the group. 143
- Provides rear support rather than entering direct combat when facing enemies beyond his physical ability. 145
- Remains the team’s effective captain even after Xiu Er joins as its principal combat force. 246
- His limitation is direct combat: Xiu Er classifies him as an ordinary, physically weak human who requires protection. 241
Diplomacy and Judgement
Fujimaru is capable of assessing intent and pursuing cooperation under pressure.
- Explains Chaldea’s Singularity-repair mission in terms locals can understand, while recognizing that trust cannot be earned through words alone. 142
- Initiates communication with Number Thirteen/Xiu Er during a battlefield stalemate instead of treating combat as the only option. 144
- Negotiates with Nitocris after her attack, clearing up the misunderstanding and securing her group’s aid. 180
Temporary Contract with F
Fujimaru forms a temporary Master–Servant contract with F, a Servant version of Xiu Er.
- Accepts F’s request to test the contract out of curiosity. 157
- Describes the completed contract as unusually strange compared with his prior experiences with Servants. 157
- The contract is explicitly temporary; the provided context does not establish any abilities granted to Fujimaru through it. 157
Equipment / Items
- Locator cube — A high-speed cube strikes Fujimaru’s chest and enters his body without causing visible injury or discomfort. It is later identified as a locator placed by Xiu Er. 152 161
- Xiu Er’s bracelet/terminal — A wrist-mounted device that can alert Xiu Er, create a throwable disc on command, and project communications with Chaldea across time and space. 176 184 189
- Restorative potions — Fujimaru receives fatigue-removing potions from Xiu Er and asks for additional bottles to help Dr. Roman. 166
Relationships
- Mashu Kyrielight — Primary companion and protector. Fujimaru commands her in battle, worries deeply for her health, and remains the person she chooses to follow. 143 172 246
- Xiu Er — Initially an overwhelming enemy who captures and interrogates him, then a temporary Chaldea ally and increasingly trusted companion. Fujimaru repeatedly tries to help him understand friendship and human social behavior. 154 157 163 165
- F — A Servant incarnation of Xiu Er with whom Fujimaru forms a temporary contract. 157
- Dr. Roman — Chaldea colleague whose communications with Fujimaru are restored by Xiu Er; Fujimaru also seeks treatment for Roman’s exhaustion. 155 166
- Leonardo da Vinci — Chaldea colleague and strategist who teases Fujimaru but supports the decision to use Xiu Er’s assistance and recognizes Fujimaru as the team’s captain. 157 161 246
- Bedivere — Temporary ally whom Fujimaru treats with sympathy and concern, particularly regarding his intention to face the Lion King. 206 250
- Arash — A Heroic Spirit Fujimaru meets with obvious enthusiasm; Arash considers Fujimaru worthy of being called a hero for helping refugees. 221 222
Story Role / Major Arcs
Encounter with the Mecha-Kai
Fujimaru enters a Singularity with Mashu and works alongside Shiji Jie and Mordred after explaining Chaldea’s mission to repair the anomaly. When Xiu Er arrives, Fujimaru observes the clash from behind Mashu’s shield, recognizes the enemy’s lack of killing intent, and attempts to open a dialogue. 142 143 144
When Xiu Er reveals that he seeks the manifested power of Servants, Fujimaru withdraws with Shiji Jie while Mashu and Mordred hold the line. A later spatial attack sends a cube into Fujimaru’s chest; he is unharmed, but the device remains inside him. 145 149 152
Capture and Alliance with Xiu Er
Garnacha captures Fujimaru and brings him to Xiu Er’s domain. Despite his fear, Fujimaru regains his composure and questions Xiu Er directly about the Singularity, Chaldea, and the pursuit of Servant power. Xiu Er judges his mindset to be strong despite his poor magical talent. 153 154
Xiu Er restores Fujimaru’s communication with Dr. Roman and Da Vinci, allowing Chaldea to negotiate directly with the Mecha-Kai. Chaldea ultimately accepts Xiu Er’s assistance, while Fujimaru forms a temporary contract with F. 155 157
Chaldea Integration
After returning to Chaldea, Fujimaru acts as Xiu Er’s guide to prevent the unfamiliar Mecha-Kai from causing trouble. He shares his own history, answers questions about friendship, and accompanies Xiu Er through Chaldea while the latter analyzes its facilities. 161 163 164
Fujimaru also acts as an intermediary between Xiu Er and Chaldea’s staff. He brings Xiu Er’s restorative potions to Roman and becomes involved when Xiu Er agrees to stabilize Mashu’s deteriorating condition. 166 172 174
Desert and Holy City Operations
During the desert operation, Fujimaru helps peacefully resolve Nitocris’s attack and requests her group’s supplies and guidance. He relies on Xiu Er’s bracelet when enemies emerge in a sandstorm, using its deployed disc as instructed. 176 180
In the Holy City conflict, Fujimaru helps negotiate with refugees, supports temporary allies such as Bedivere, Cursed Arm Hassan, Tawara Touta, and Xuanzang Sanzang, and increasingly regards Xiu Er as the team member least in need of concern. 210 222 226 231
Lion King Battle and Departure
Fujimaru remains with the team during the operation against the Lion King, insisting that he should contribute rather than remain a bystander. Following Xiu Er’s defeat of the Lion King, Fujimaru welcomes him back and receives the formal mission report with visible embarrassment. 246 258 259
After the Singularity’s resolution, Fujimaru is affected by Xiu Er’s departure from Chaldea. Before leaving, Xiu Er gives him a blessing; Fujimaru is left stunned by what appears to be a smile. 265 266
Trivia
- Fujimaru becomes visibly excited when meeting Arash, despite having already encountered many legendary Heroic Spirits during his travels. 221
- He falls asleep while waiting for Xiu Er to complete an analysis of Chaldeas, trusting him enough to remain unguarded nearby. 163 164
- Xiu Er bluntly agrees when Fujimaru asks whether he is fragile, concluding that he is weak relative to the rest of the group and needs protection. 241
