==Profile==
===Identity===
Also known as , a Messiah who led the path of enlightenment and Buddhahood. He is a Bodhisattva, a a class of Buddhist Divinity; as distinct from the word 神 (Kami), which is pronounced in the same manner, but indicates a god (in the general sense) of cosmic proportions, easily capable of governing the Solar System.
====Enlightenment====
Shakyamuni is the most famous Buddha who became Buddha through self-realization. He was released from all suffering and pain while alive. His “teachings to attain Buddhahood” are what makes up ; however, in Buddhism, it never said that “if you study this, you will be saved.” Buddhism is a philosophy that came to Shakyamuni when he had reached Buddhahood, and Shakyamuni did not mention "This is the only teaching to the way of Buddhahood." The path to enlightenment varies from person to person. As far as Buddhism is concerned, the potential to become a Buddha is present within everyone. Every human will eventually attain enlightenment. Of course, this includes those who are good as well as those who are evil, those who are kind as well as those who are heartless; everyone is subject to the process of becoming a Buddha.
==Role==
===Fate/EXTRA===
After Twice lost his original Servant, Caster, he prayed for salvation and he was given a new Servant. The reason Saver answered Twice’s call is their shared philosophy that good or evil can lead to "Humanity's salvation", that neither holds greater value than the other. Twice was a person who continued to confront war from his birth until his death. While he hated wars, even he cannot completely deny it: the last moments of a man who continued walking penance, like the flower of the . It was supposedly for this very reason Saver felt compelled to answer Twice’s call, as his anguish and shared sentiments were simply too hard to ignore. 
In the decisive King of the Battle between Hakuno Kishinami and Twice, Twice summons Saver. He is the last Servant, of whom has the form of a god. Twice refers to him as a . His Master states that he is an entity that lives to liberate humanity from its suffering. As he was summoned, he claims that for the sake of leading humanity to follow the path of and thus to enlightenment, he will grant salvation and guide them with the might of his .
All of Hakuno's Servants have different responses to Saver's summoning. Saber acknowledges that Saver is a Heroic Spirit too much for her alone to handle as she only knows suffering. Archer was not expecting Twice to have an exalted Messiah-type Servant. Caster thinks it's cliché for Twice to be saved by a god. But nevertheless, they are all confident in their ability to defeat Saver and Twice with Hakuno's support.
After Twice vanishes, Hakuno Kishinami expected Saver to fade away like Twice. Rather than Saver lending his power to his Master, he only showed mercy during the King of the Battle. Saver, before vanishing, explains that all life will eventually perish and that all living things are trapped in . He further says that Twice's salvation is in where he will witness the end of the world.
 Hakuno saw Saver's last expression much like his Master's, and as he fades away, Hakuno compares him to be like a Shorea robusta flower losing its petal. Hakuno deduces Saver as the messiah Buddha who was the only person to have escaped the cycle of suffering and that Saver allied himself with Twice, not actually because he agreed with Twice's ideals, but out of compassion for his soul.

==Abilities==
As a Bodhisattva, Buddha is a Deva of universal scale and power, and can easily manage things on the scale of the Solar System. It is said that Kiara Sessyoin in her Heaven's Hole form, who reached the level of a True Demon, is a being close to Buddha. Despite being an existence superior to that of Beast III/R, Kiara Sessyoin would be forced to withdraw when facing him without the skill Nega-Saver, being unable to nullify the effects of the Saver and Ruler class skills otherwise.Fate/Grand Order material V - Kiara Sessyoin Profile, translated by Konchew at Reddit. According to Xuanzang Sanzang, Buddha exists beyond space and time, and he would be capable of sending a messenger from the future to the past.Fate/Grand Order - Sanzang Coming to the West - Prologue: "Five Elements Mountain: The Buddha's Apprentice"
The Noble Phantasm Five Elements Mountain - Buddha Palm borrows just a small portion of his power. It was powerful enough to defeat Amun-Ra, a true Divine Spirit far exceeding a Demon God Pillar, and the strongest asset that Ozymandias had prepared for his final battle with the Lion King.Fate/Grand Order - Camelot: The Sacred Round Table Realm - Section 15: The God King Ozymandias The "Final Buddha Palm" is the suicidal version of this Noble Phantasm. Its power was great enough to destroy the Lion King's Camelot Gate. Normally, the Camelot Gate, just like Lord Camelot, can repel any attack without taking a single scratch, as long as it has "malicious" intent. Xuanzang was able to destroy it because she used the power to "save" and not to "defeat".Fate/Grand Order - Camelot: The Sacred Round Table Realm - Section 17: Replica
Despite of Buddha's power he's still not capable of defeating Amaterasu, as it is stated that out of the many characters appearing in Fate/EXTRA and CCC, Arcueid Brunestud (Berserker) with her sanity restored is about the only one who is “capable of bringing Golden White Face down to a level where it is possible to defeat her no matter how small the chance might be,” thanks to being able to reduce the power of her opponents to a sixth of their usual.
===Skills===

*Enlightenment of the Sacred Fig (EX Rank): Protection covering only one who has arrived at the truth of the world, the answer of humanity.

If it’s Saver who has attained the EX rank, it should be possible to tranquility receive even the seven desires of man. However, those with the Divinity Skill ranked at a high level can break through and defend against this Skill.
*Kalaripayattu (EX Rank): Ancient Indian martial arts. The ancestor of martial arts based on rational thinking that does not rely only on power and talent. Specialized more toward defense than offense. Utilizing this martial art, Buddha was able to effortlessly repel Nero's attacks and punch a hole through her before striking her down with Chakravartin
