, Class Name , is a Lancer-class Servant summoned by Ritsuka Fujimaru in the Grand Orders of Fate/Grand Order.
==Profile==
===Identity===
Jaguar Man is a Pseudo-Servant summoned into the body of Taiga Fujimura. One of the olden Divine Spirits transmitted in . The Jaguar, namely, a symbol of “war” and “death”, is an existence revered for a long time in the Central and South American civilizations of all eras, and it is said that, in the bygone days, it would often show its form to the world. In the of the Preclassic Period, the Jaguar deity was a being possessing the mixed-blood of a jaguar and a human being and was deified in the shape of a “Jaguar-Human (Jaguar Man/Werejaguar)” figure and the likes.
Fate/Grand Order material IV - Jaguar Man, p.364-373, translated by Clyton at Beast's Lair.
In Central and South American mythologies, the Jaguar is frequently spoken of as a spiritual existence called a , a shadow and a supernatural Guardian Spirit. It is said that Tezcatlipoca, one of the chief gods worshipped in , is also endowed with a Nagual, and this Nagual is a fearsome Jaguar Nagual.
In “Fate/Grand Order”, while Jaguar Man owns a nature as a Divine Spirit of old, it is simultaneously syncretizing its aspects as a Nagual of Tezcatlipoca, drawing them from its own genealogy.
Heroic Spirit possession. The Jaguar Nagual achieved its materialization as a Divided Spirit, done by possessing a particular human as its vessel. From time immemorial, it is said that humans who obtained the Nagual of a Jaguar were endowed with supernatural powers. The Nagual tales are narrated even in the modern times. Furthermore, concerning the criteria for selecting a human to possess as its vessel, among the humans that has a tie to the Holy Grail, the person who carries the fate of the wildness and the wildest force is elected.
===Appearance===
Since Jaguar Man possesses Taiga Fujimura, she bears the same physical appearance, albeit with a pair of jaguar ears. In Stages First and Second Ascension Stages, she wears a jaguar themed onesie with her yellow and green striped shirt underneath and yellow tiger-print shoes. She also carries a 'frightening club', a club with a cartoon-style jaguar paw at the end. In the First Stage she has the onsie's hood down, while in the second she has it up and wears a pair of gloves made to look like jaguar paws.
In the Third Ascension, Jaguar Man changes to an all black outfit with a jaguar print coat with white fuzzy edges, black button shirt that is opened up to reveal cleavege, a golden necklace, jeans, and shoes. Her club also changes to a naginata and her eyes change from brown to red.
The gender belongs to the possessed human.
===Personality===
Do you like a Jaguar elder sister? Whether you like her or not, Jaguar is Jaguar. There is no escape.
A friendly character, one who is bright and without discrimination. It likely seems to be a strong reflection of the possessed human’s personality. Once Jaguar's mind becomes completely set on something, the target will be certainly teased with for weeks. That means there is no escape.
The Jaguar Warrior is proud. One should not expect to earn her trust in a brief period of time, even if one is called her Master. However, if she notices one’s daily endeavours, what one will be able to receive is a Jaguar Stamp, stamped with her paw. If one collects a lot of stamps, someday, it will probably appear to result in one being able to receive an acknowledgement of being her close friend. One cannot help doing their best in order to aim for being her Jaguar-mate (Tezcatlipoca-mate).
No matter how one looks at it, the personality of the possessed body is composed of the main host, but that should not be pointed out.
The alignment belongs to Jaguar Man, not the possessed human.
Jaguar Man is seen to have a mischievous and fun time around Chaldea with Irisviel, and reveals herself to be a love interest for Kiritsugu. She also has a habit of making cat puns when talking. 
====Relationships====
;Parvati / Senji Muramasa
:(Jaguar does a double take and says “Really?”)
:Jaguar Man seems to vaguely recognize the vessels of Pseudo-Servant that Taiga was friends with, such as Parvati in the body of Sakura Matou and Senji Muramasa in the body of Shirou Emiya, and is often found starring at them.
;EMIYA
:"That dark skinned Archer-kun who gives off vibes of shades of gray... hm, I think he wasn't like this before, meow... somehow I feel responsible..."Fate/Grand Order Jaguar Man My Room Lines
:(Jaguar is tilting her head)Jaguar Man's Servant Profile from Fate/Grand Order material IV
:She vaguely recognizes EMIYA and feels partially responsible for his delinquent-like nature, though she can't remember as to why.Fate/Grand Order - Jaguar Man's My Room voicelines. In turn, he recognizes that Taiga is Jaguar Man's vessel and deduced she is the reason why Chaldea's food supply has decreased faster than normal, much to his annoyance.Fate/Grand Order - EMIYA's My Room voicelines.
;EMIYA (Assassin) / EMIYA Alter
:(Jaguar’s stare is fixed at them)
;Illyasviel von Einzbern
:(Jaguar is laughing and beckoning at her with a grin)
;Quetzalcoatl
:(Jaguar is clinging to her!)
:Jaguar Man has a rivalry and one-sided friendship with Quetzalcoatl. During the Seventh Singularity, Jaguar Man acts as an underling to Quetzalcoatl, collecting 'sacrifices' for her fellow goddess so she could add them to her army. When Ritsuka Fujimaru convinced Jaguar Man to join their party, she nonetheless helped them defeat Quetzalcoatl, only to once again become her underling when she too joined their party. In turn, Quetzalcoatl dislikes Jaguar Man, because both she and Tezcatlipoca represent the jaguar, and thinks she is annoying because of her hyperactive personality.
==Role==
===Fate/Grand Order===
It is unknown why the Jaguar attempted to materialize in this world. Maybe it came along while being attracted to Quetzalcoatl, or maybe it came along while in a playful mood. Perhaps it stole a march on Tezcatlipoca when he was about to appear, and so on; the curiosity about this matter is endless.
====Seventh Singularity: Babylonia====
Jaguar Man is a Stray Servant. She confronts Ritsuka’s party when they come to the southern jungle to investigate Ur, briefly fighting them before retreating. She confronts them again in Ur after Mash reprimands its people for their daily “sacrifices“ to Quetzalcoatl in Eridu, revealing any warrior who fails the trial of strength are forced into hard labor at Eridu. As she cannot let them free the people of Ur, Jaguar Man fights the group to force them to leave. The group is forced to retreat when she proves too fast and powerful. Jaguar Man chases after them, catching up several times, but Medusa drove her off each time.Fate/Grand Order - Babylonia: The Absolute Frontline in the War Against the Demonic Beasts, Section 5: Welcome to the Jungle
She comes with Quetzalcoatl when the latter attacks Uruk's southern market. After Quetzalcoatl leaves, Jaguar Man collects the soldiers seemingly killed by Quetzalcoatl. She refuses to leave without them, as she knows Quetzalcoatl severely punish her. She then leaves after setting her werejaguars on the group.Fate/Grand Order - Babylonia: The Absolute Frontline in the War Against the Demonic Beasts, Section 11: Hello, Goddess of the Sun
She fights the group again when they return to the southern jungle. Thanks to Ishtar’s help, though, they’re able to defeat her this time. Ritsuka then uses flattery to convince her to join them. Jaguar Man prepares to guide the group to Eridu when her werejaguars accuse her of betraying them. After defeating them, she guides the group to Ur. There they find the Uruk soldiers alive. Jaguar Man explains Quetzalcoatl revived the soldiers right after killing them. She also reveals the soldiers are forbidden to leave because they’re members of Quetzalcoatl’s army. She advises against talking with Quetzalcoatl to convince her, saying the only way to defeat her is a head-on battle of the soul.Fate/Grand Order - Babylonia: The Absolute Frontline in the War Against the Demonic Beasts, Section 12: Temple of the Sun
The next day, she guides the group through the jungle to Eridu. They learn Quetzalcoatl has recently returned from Uruk. Jaguar Man says she and the others will hold her off while Ritsuka destroys Piedra Del Sol, the symbol of her power. She then gives them a spare of her weapon she made last night for this very purpose.
The group then enters Eridu and breakthrough to the temple. The group then executes their plan, but Quetzalcoatl easily overwhelms them as Ritsuka nears the temple’s altar. Jaguar Man goes to the altar with Ishtar, noting how Ritsuka realized Quetzalcoatl wants to see a display of human resolve. She suggests they do a plancha when Ritsuka says height and courage will show humanity’s resolve. As height is better for plancha, she has Ishtar take Ritsuka to the skies. The plan works as Quetzalcoatl leaves the Three Goddess Alliance after being impressed by Ritsuka’s resolve. Jaguar Man reveals the sacrifices from Ur are actually recruits for Quetzalcoatl's army. Quetzalcoatl then orders her to supervise the winged serpents carrying Marduk's axe to Uruk.Fate/Grand Order - Babylonia: The Absolute Frontline in the War Against the Demonic Beasts, Section 13: Prophecy of the Heavens 
Jaguar Man delivers the axe to Uruk, and Gilgamesh sends it to the Northern Wall. She later joins Quetzalcoatl in defending the Northern Wall, as the others head for Gorgon's Blood Fort. She notes Quetzalcoatl lost half of her divinity when the latter broke the Alliance's non-aggression pact by throwing the Axe to destroy the Blood Fort.Fate/Grand Order - Babylonia: The Absolute Frontline in the War Against the Demonic Beasts, Section 15: Decisive Battle
As Tiamat’s Lahmu massacre the Mesopotamian population, the group return to Uruk to find it under attack, while Ishtar struggles against them. They land to fight the creatures in order to secure a path to the ziggurat for the citizens to take shelter in. However, they struggle against even one, made worse by the fact they multiply. The creatures suddenly leave, though, so the group goes to the ziggurat. There Gilgamesh reveals Tiamat is one of the seven Evils of Humanity, and she’s yet to full awaken. He then sends the group to investigate Ur and Eridu, as the Lahmu are bringing the people they kidnap there.Fate/Grand Order - Babylonia: The Absolute Frontline in the War Against the Demonic Beasts, Section 16: Demise
They arrive in Ur to find the Laḫmu have already killed everyone. Jaguar Man notices they aren’t missing any organs, despite being ripped apart, realizing they were killed for the pleasure of it. The group head to Eridu where they find the kidnapped victims gathered in the plaza. They also meet a strange Laḫmu that doesn’t attack them. Ignoring it, the group enters the plaza where they see the Laḫmu forcing humans kill each other. They kill the Laḫmu to allow the survivors to escape. Kingu arrives and tries to stop the Laḫmu, but one rips the Grail from Kingu’s body. The group tries to take it when the Laḫmu swallows it and grows a pair of wings, becoming Bel Lahmu. The group fight it to prevent it from flying to Tiamat to fully awaken her. Ritsuka, Mash, and Quetzalcoatl mount Quetzalcoatlus to chase after it when it flies off. Quetzalcoatl orders Jaguar Warrior to evacuate and protect the humans.Fate/Grand Order - Babylonia: The Absolute Frontline in the War Against the Demonic Beasts, Section 17: The New Humanity
Jaguar Man returns to Uruk after leaving Ishtar to evacuate Eridu's people. She and Gilgamesh contact the group while they're at the Persian Gulf observatory. She says they repelled another attack, and that Gilgamesh mounted the walls with 360 Dingir cannons.Fate/Grand Order - Babylonia: The Absolute Frontline in the War Against the Demonic Beasts, Section 18: Awakening 
Later, as Tiamat starts her approach towards Uruk, Jaguar Man deduces she’ll arrive in a day. The group learn Tiamat has a paradoxical protection, where she cannot die as long as life exists on Earth. Gigamesh contacts Ereshkigal and asks her to send Tiamat to Kur, where she’ll be considered the last living being. He orders her to open a gate beneath Uruk. He suggests they hold Tiamat with Gugalanna while Ereshkigal completes her task. However Ishtar reveals she lost Gugalanna, who she was looking for when she first met Ritsuka and Mash. Realizing they lack a way to combat Tiamat, everyone takes a break.Fate/Grand Order - Babylonia: The Absolute Frontline in the War Against the Demonic Beasts, Section 19: Star of the Beginning, We Look Up at the Sky
That evening, Jaguar Man and Quetzalcoatl visit Ritsuka at the Chaldean Embassy. Jaguar Man goes to kitchen while Quetzalcoatl and Ritsuka talk. She returns, wondering if they’re discussing on how to flee tomorrow. Quetzalcoatl lies Tiamat might be stopped if they sacrifice a goddess. Jaguar Man readily eats the meat Quetzalcoatl gives her, not caring that she’s the sacrifice. She then describes her relationship with Quetzalcoatl as them being rival with equal worth. She’s fine if either of them dies, as long as one of them lives to keep things balanced. Like in the myths, she still wants to defeat Quetzalcoatl, but it’s different this time since Quetzalcoatl is working to save humans. She reveals Quetzalcoatl joined the Alliance to stop the other goddesses after catching her lie that she joined to kill humans. The plan was to get the Greater Grail of Uruk first, before the others could use it to destroy humanity.
The next day, the group discovers Tiamat’s legs are too thin to support her weight. Therefore, she can only walk with the Chaos Tide. Gilgamesh orders them to destroy her legs and the Chaos Tide. Quetzalcoatl says she can destroy the Chaos Tide with Piedra Del Sol, though it uses a lot of stamina and magical energy. The group return to the Persian Gulf to execute her plan. There Quetzalcoatl orders Jaguar Man to save the surviving javelin unit from Girsu before the Lahmu kill them.Fate/Grand Order - Babylonia: The Absolute Frontline in the War Against the Demonic Beasts, Section 20: Absolute Demonic Front Mesopotamia (I) When Quetzalcoatl's attempt to use Xiuhcoatl on Tiamat fails, Jaguar Man catches her, and brings her to the Cedar Forest. After burying her there, she returned to Uruk.Fate/Grand Order - Babylonia: The Absolute Frontline in the War Against the Demonic Beasts, Section 22: Returning to Chaldea
Seeing the giant hole to Kur there, she jumps down to help Ritsuka. She tells Ereshkigal to continue her previous attack on Tiamat, even if it isn’t effective now. She says they cannot allow Tiamat to return to the surface because if she does, the Chaos Tide will engulf the world in less than a day. Fortunately, Tiamat’s paradoxical restoration is still ineffective in Kur, as both the Chaos Tide and the Laḫmu are part of her. Merlin then arrives, and turns the Chaos Tide into flowers, draining Tiamat’s power. Tiamat grows wings and tries to fly back to the surface when Ziusudra, who reveals himself to be the Grand Assassin: the First Hassan, severs her wings while simultaneously forcing the concept of death onto her by reducing her Spirit Origin into that of a normal servant. Recognizing her own mortality, Tiamat unleashes more Laḫmu to protect her while she climbs back to the surface. With Ereshkigal’s blessing, the group flies towards Tiamat, breaking through the Bel Laḫmu with Hassan’s help. They reach Tiamat’s head, as it’s where her Spiritual Core is, and try to kill her. She proves astoundingly durable, and she takes down Merlin to remove his negation on the Chaos Tide. Archer Gilgamesh then arrives to help fight Tiamat. With her defeat, Tiamat plummets to the bottom of Kur. The group then escape to the surface before she explodes.Fate/Grand Order - Babylonia: The Absolute Frontline in the War Against the Demonic Beasts, Section 21: Absolute Demonic Front Mesopotamia (II)
Back on the surface, Jaguar Man explains how she rescued Quetzalcoatl when everyone else thought she was dead. She and Quetzalcoatl then disappear now that Tiamat is gone, as their summoning was only possible due to Tiamat's presence.
====Final Singularity: Solomon====
Jaguar Man is amongst the "Babylonia" Singularity Servants to aid Chaldea against the Demon Gods Pillars.Fate/Grand Order - Salomon: The Grand Time Temple - Act 08: VII / Health Office Sabnock
==== Parvati Trial Quest ====
Jaguar Man confronts Parvati in a bamboo forest when the latter considers becoming a Servant of Ritsuka. She also brought Illyasviel von Einzbern, who she refers to as "Student Ex", with her. She asks Parvati if she's certain she wants to go to Chaldea, especially considering the fact that Chaldea has three EMIYAs, with possibly more coming. She then fights Parvati to test her resolve to join Chaldea, bribing Illya to assist her by saying she'll do her homework for a week if they win. Following the battle, Parvati insists to Jaguar Man that she'll be happy at Chaldea while also making others happy. She also assures her that she can fight if needed. 
==== Hokusai Trial Quest ====
Jaguar Man appears in Ritsuka's dream of Edo under the name Old Meowster. She is a retired chirimen merchant from Echigo taking a leisure trip through the country with Kakuloe and Illysuke. She was a former Vice Shogun known as Mito Mitsukuni. 
With Kakuloe and Illysuke, she purchases a ukiyo-e from a suspicious merchant who claimed it was a genuine Katsushika Hokusai piece. She sensed it was painted by Hokusai's daughter,  Oei, yet it had Hokusai's signature. So she sends out Kakuloe and Illysuke to find Oei to verify the piece.
Kakuloe and Illysuke eventually find Oei with Ritsuka and Suzuka Gozen on their way to Hosshou Temple. Calling Old Meowster, they have Oei verify the ukiyo-e. Oei confirms it is real, leading Old Meowster that appraisal is correct. Her feral instincts then kick in, as if ready for a fight. Illysuke tells it's too early for that, only for Old Meowster to shove her toe beans in her face. While Illysuke deals with that, Kakuloe tells Oei why they sought her out. Unfortunately, she triggers a fight with the group when Oei is angered by the implication that she is lying to herself about not caring whether the piece was made by Hokusai or not.
The fight stops though when Oei suddenly collapses. After being tended to by Suzuka and Illysuke, Oei confesses the piece was a collaboration between her and her father. Ever since then she has painted many pieces under her father's name. Old Meowster realizes that's the reason for the disjointed feeling she had. Illysuke wonders if that means some sections of the paintings are counterfeit, but Suzuka explains ukiyo-e are collaborative efforts in general. Therefore, the name "Katsushika Hokusai" is closer to a brand name. Old Meowster then asks Oei to autograph the piece. Oei does so after Ritsuka and Suzuka convince her. Ritsuka then asks about the art dealer that sold the piece. Illysuke recalls there were two and carried things labeled "Seiseidou" and "Kitsurudou". Oei recognizes those names as publishers from the Utagawa School, but she doesn't recall selling any Hokusai work to them. Learning she overpaid for the piece, Old Meowster asks Illysuke and Kakuloe to do a bit of erotic modeling for the Hokusai, for which they'll sign a royalty agreement. Illysuke and Kakuloe refuse. Oei also says erotic work is difficult to sell nowadays. With that plan ruined, Old Meowster leaves with Illysuke and Kakuloe.
==== Christmas Event: Merry Christmas from the Underworld ====
She guards the fifth gate, but Altera defeats her rather quickly and passes through the gate with Ritsuka.
==== Valentine Event The Bountiful Chocolate Gardens of Valentine ====
Jaguar Man enters the Hanging Gardens of Babylon after hearing Chaldea is using to produce chocolate since she couldn't deliver her usual shipment of cacao. There she sees Semiramis' chocolate summoning circle, and believing it's for a nefarious plot, she tries to destroy it with her Noble Phantasm. But instead the circle is activated, prompting her to flee.
==== Christmas Event: Holy Samba Night ====
Working for Black Quetzal Mask (Quetzalcoatl’s evil self), Jaguar Man serves as the rules regulator for the Santa Tag Tournament and ensures it is done fairly. To that end, she keeps the composition of each team secret by guiding each team to their personal gym on separate routes that they don’t interact. She also makes sure no teams still running do not get information on a competing team from a team that lost to the aforementioned team. She is also the referee, though she constantly overlooks rule breaking elements because Black Quetzal Mask says nothing about them or because of incredibly loose loopholes in the rules.
She also convinced Atalanta Alter to team up with her to represent the animal kingdom by saying an eternal Christmas would bring eternal happiness to the children. They serve as the fifth match for Bradamante and Quetzalcoatl, with Jaguar Man confident they’ll win thanks to her knowing Bradamante and Quetzalcoatl’s fighting styles. They lose, however, because Jaguar Man didn’t recognize the masked Martha wasn’t Quetzalcoatl and was overwhelmed by the unexpected change in fighting style.
She later cleans up after the tournament, complaining that even gone Black Quetzal Mask is still running ragged.
==Abilities==
Being a Divine Spirit, Jaguar Man is a powerful Servant and not even Mash's and Ana's combined efforts are able to work on her. Merlin claims they wouldn't stand a chance against her without another servant with the same level of divinity.Fate/Grand Order - Babylonia: Section 5 Welcome to the Jungle However, because she belongs to the lower grade among the Divine Spirit Servants, Jaguar Man's selling point is that she does not cost a lot to cover in terms of Magical Energy. In terms of physical strength, she would only be able to block Quetzalcoatl's charge one time.Fate/Grand Order - Babylonia: Section 12 Temple of the Sun
Jaguar Man boasts incredible speed, allowing her to leap up above the jungle in an instant and retreat. Her stealth abilities are also to be expected in the jungle.

===Creation and Conception===
Jaguar Man was originally referenced in Fate/stay night within the "Tiger Dojo Special" bonus scene. There, Taiga Fujimura believes that there was a cut CG in the game where she transforms using the "God of Babylonia's power to fight one-on-one against Angra Mainyu", before being corrected by Illyasviel von Einzbern that it was Jaguar Man who transforms, not Taiga.Fate/stay night - Tiger Dojo Special
Jaguar Man was designed by Takao Aotsuki in Fate/Grand Order. 
Hikaru Sakurai and Kinoko Nasu are the scenario writers for her character.
====Comment from Illustrator====
"It is said that there was no choice but to have that Jaguar Man get on a motorcycle! What do I do! And it is this outcome that troubled my mind. Is it ok for me to make a completely different pose for her last Ascension stage!? I am thankful! And one thing! I’m happy that it can be accepted and used. There was certainly a great pressure on me to draw her."
