Class Skills

Magic Resistance: A
Nullifies spells of A-Rank or below. In fact he can't be harmed by modern magi. As a result of the Saber Class and the protection of Santa Claus the rank has increased compared to when he was a Lancer
Riding: -
After adopting a boxing combat style, he lost his Riding skill, despite being a Saber class. He's Santa, but he doesn't ride a sleigh. Being the boxer that he is, all he can do is to silently keep on jogging (roadwork) to train.
Divinity: A
The fact that he is the son of Surya, the god of sun, does not change even after he has turned into Santa.
"Santa is like the sun to children. So it's more sensible to say that Surya is Santa," says Karna rather matter-of-factly in the cafeteria. However, Arjuna, who was eating curry behind him, just looked puzzled when he heard that.
Hard Puncher: EX
A skill that demonstrates the raw strength of his punches. A deadly strike that can KO an enemy with just a single blow.

Personal Skills

Footwork Santa: A
An astounding skill that combines footwork and being Santa, and it is the foundation of Santa Karna’s fighting style. It’s a skill that demonstrates footwork and stepping techniques in boxing that not only maintains appropriate distances for various situations, evading attacks, and finding even the slightest openings in enemies' defenses, but it also allows him to trek as Santa Claus to ensure that he can deliver gifts to anybody, even in dangerous places such as lava fields or areas with heavy snowfall.
Flash Fist: A
This Karna does not wield a spear. The only thing he wields is his fists, but that doesn't mean his combat prowess has declined. Because he was trained by Drona, his master who was gifted in all forms of martial arts, he is accustomed to fighting barehanded. In fact, his memories of training with Arjuna and Aśvatthāman brought out a new sensation for him, and it has made him feel lighter than when he wields his spear.
His hand speed exceeds the speed of light, and those who face it can only see his fist as a trail of light...probably. His fists are as keen as a true blade.
"And that's why I'm a Saber, right?" says Santa proudly at the cafeteria. However, Aśvatthāman, who was eating a piece of chicken behind him, just looked puzzled when he heard that.
Hero of Benefaction (Holy Night): EX
One of the reasons Karna was chosen to be Santa Claus. If the hero who always gives generously when asked, is given a mysterious gift bag filled with Santa Power then we have nothing to fear anymore. Well, it's not like there's much to be scared of anyway. A skill of similar nature to "Saint's Gift"

Noble Phantasm

『The Saint's Torrential Fist.』
Rank: A
NP Type: Anti-Personnel
Range: 1 - 2
Maximum Targets: 1
Winning Arkaputra
Santa Karna's finishing combo. After quickly bobbing and weaving to keep his opponent off target, Karna steps in with a series of left and right hooks, followed by two left jabs and a straight right, then finishes with an uppercut to send his opponent flying.
These blows are obviously filled with the power of Santa and the power of the son of Surya. What should be especially noted, is that when he strikes with his finishing uppercut, the excess energy he has manifests into feathers of light and a divine halo. The combination of these powers is beyond galactic comprehension, and his opponents claim to feel like they were struck by a meteor. They immediately drop onto the mat.
The word "Arkaputra" is Karna's other name, meaning "the sun's son."
『The Saint's Intersecting Fists.』
Rank: A
NP Type: Anti-Personnel
Range: 1 - 2
Maximum Targets: 1
Graharaja Santa Claus
A one-hit killing cross counterpunch developed by Karna as his finishing blow. In addition to Karna having been inspired by boxing the moment he became Santa, Karna learned that boxing has a knockout punch called a cross counter, and for some reason Karna came to the conclusion that "Santa uses a cross counter as his finishing blow, which must be why he is named Santa Claus!" This utterly nonsensical notion is what led to him coming up with this technique.
It is not possible to actually see this attack. His fist perfectly aligns with the enemy's strike and smashes through the enemy's jaw like a beam of sunlight. It's as if a sacred sword of the stars slashed through the air... This move is both a deadly fist and a sacred sword.
The word "Graharaja" means "lord of the planets," and it is another name for the sun god Surya.

Character

First-person pronoun: Ore
Second-person pronoun: Omae
Third-person pronoun: Kare/Kanojo/Master

Personality

It's pretty much the same old Karna
However by switching to a bare-handed martial arts style he now recalls his tough training days and even if only a little, he has started to enjoy martial arts training and the growth it brings
"I don't have Indra's spear, so I'll just clench my fists and we'll exchange blows. It'll be just like those times I used to exchange blows with Ashvatthaman and the others"
Basically the above
He wants to train harder, he wants to improve his fighting skills and he wants to fight strong enemies It may look like nothing much has changed, but in some ways he's gained a younger mentality. He retains his normal level-headedness, but he also sometimes says and does things that make you think he's a passionate protagonist straight out of a shonen manga.
"I love roadwork"

Motivation and Attitude to Master

He has no particular wish for the Holy Grail.
All he wishes for is to complete his job as Santa Claus (while also training his boxing skills) He treats the Master as an advisor who is familiar with Christmas. He knows he lacks common sense so he is going to be relying on them.

Dialog Examples

"I didn't expect to be chosen as Santa but i'll do my best"
"Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee. Wonderful! What an excellent quote."
"I'd love to encounter someone stronger than me but I have Santa Business to attend to, so excuse me"
"My fist is my sword now, but you don't have to do the same. You can use whatever weapon you like."

Figure within FGO

Karna has become Santa. Because of reasons.
Once a year during Christmastime, everyone wishes for presents. Karna learns Santa Claus is the one who grants these wishes, and the moment he realizes he has the power to do so himself, he does not hesitate to take on the role. And so, whenever the children ask, "Santa, please give me a present," this new Santa Claus simply replies, "Very well. Here you go," and grants their Christmas wish. He may seem a bit frosty, but he's far from coldhearted. He just has a hard time smiling.
Stoic in a way, not over-enthusiastic, not having fun, but perfectly fulfilling the role of Santa.
But by the end of the day when he has fulfilled his duties as Santa and receives a big smile and a "Thank you" from the children he feels a different sort of happiness than when he does his usual charity work.
That's to be expected. After all he isn't the usual Karna right now, he is Santa Karna
For some reason he has taken up the masculine sport of boxing. He is an all-rounder who can do either in-boxing or out-boxing depending on his opponent (or his whims)
In most cases his choice of fighting style is either because "it looks like fun" or "it looks like I can grow stronger" never because "it will be an eazy win" . Sometimes it's necessary to have a hard fought fistfight.

Arjuna
Since Karna is closer in mentally to his training days, they are slightly closer than usual.
Although they are "rivals who killed each other in the Great War," now they are more like "students who studied under the same master"
Ashwatthama
Same as above. This one has more of a delinquent feel to it
"You still have that spark from when we first met ... Heh it's starting to get fun. Alright I'm in. Let's go"
Vitra
The enemy of Christmas, the mighty evil dragon.
A being "no weapon can harm" Santa Karna might have born a boxer as a result of that
Duryodhana
The only man who helped me when I was laughed at for my status. A benefactor and a friend
From the general public's point of view, he may be an asshole, but I trust and respect him
Romulus=Quirinus
The Roman Branch of the Heracles school is a rival

Comments from illustrator

Usually when you look at the ingredients of a dish, you can tell if it's going to be a meal or a dessert, right? Then we have this year Santa, Karna, who is both a Saber and boxer right? Wasn't it supposed to be a space cat? Anyway I'm so excited (pako)

Sports illustrated has done it again. Another transvestite in their swimsuit issue. Why is every company pandering to 1% of the population, while risking their loyal customer base? Do they really believe men want to see this?
