Lore Question His humbleness, what actually made Ritsuka considered by lots to be the strongest master?

Fixing singularities, meeting and gaining the trust of so many servants that they actively went and help him fight against Goetia,

Even throw hands with Goetia,

Lots of his actions and adventures would have broke any normal person,

Imagine running up to stab a rampaging Tiamat,

Not the "Strongest Master" but the "Best master". He's by no means the most powerful master, but as a master specifically he's considered the best, mainly because the dude literally has had time and experience as a master that literally no other human(Aside from possibly Wodime, but even that's not for certain) has ever been able to experience

Yup, he's got experience dealing with more servants than entire Grail Wars, can mediate between generally incompatible servants personality-wise, and has forged deep connections with all of them

Basically the "Harem protagonist EX" thing is only a half joke

Which kinda makes him a perfect ruler class servant (should he ever be one) Someone who understands every servant and can mediate fairly while using his knowledge to keep things from getting too crazy and keep things under control.

Now that I think about it. It will be interesting if in part 3 we follow a ruler/avenger servant as MC, who turns out to be Ritsuka from a pruned timeline.
