Ok I don't pretend to like or understand the Japs.

But surely ANYONE who has taken even a vague vague vague glance at Arthurian legend would know that Arthur King of the Britons wielder of Excalibur was a dude.

A man.

A male.

A thing without breasts.

A creature possessing a penis.

A bro.

Yet this is...Arthur? Am I missing something here?

In the context of the story, the legend's been modified over the years.

"Arthur" was always a girl. She was remembered as a male, because the citizens would not be unified under a female leader. They needed a King.

If you read the legend of Perseus, Pegasus lept forth from the blood spewing from Medusa's neck.

At first Medusa was like the most beautiful bitch arounf with the sexiest hair. Then Poseidon came and raped her. It would have been okay if it was a normal rape, but the rape was inside a temple dedicated to Athena since Medusa ran into the temple for protection against the rape, but useless. Now Athena got buttmad, but since she can't do shit to Poseidon so she decided to punish Medusa. She turned Medusa into the snakehair monsters as commonly known. End of story.

Ilya was never crucified, it just looked that way, heck there wasn't even a cross and she was being absorbed by the grail.

And obviously someone, maybe not Nasu, made the connection and/or tried to make it seem that way at the least with the water walking.
There are similarities and keep in mind my original question was why people do not rage about a female Jesus, and that does not take much, official word or no.

If it hadn't been explicitly stated in F S/N that saber was Arthur would you have thought she was either? Most people seemed to think she was Jeanne.

On external appearance only?
Yes.
When the story expanded?
She is a female Artur, tailored to be such.

And ARc's origin and purpose is 'irrelevant' to Earth's Savior, you stretch it far too much. Nothing in Tsukihime portrays her like that. One imagery alone in the anime series is too weak an argument.
If anyone is portrayed somewhat as a smaller scale Super JMessiah, that would be Archer.

Rin tried to summon a servant. But she didn't have any sort of catalyst. Of course, that's just what she thought--her jeweled pendant was a catalyst. Specifically, in the future, that pendant *was* to become an item connected to a hero. Thus, since heroes are independent of time, she was able to summon a hero from the future.

Anyone could in theory do this, but it's very unlikely that one would by sheer chance end up with an item that *will* some day become related to a hero.

It was stated that only gods could use Ea, Gil may not be one but he was still 2/3 divine and thus he could use it to some extent.
In it's myth it played part in the creation of the world and it sliced existence aka reality.

This divine origin aspect of it gives it a higher mystic rank than Excalibur, the sword capable of cutting through anything and being able of cleaving the sky and mountain tops of the horizon.
The higher mystic rank of Ea made it possible for it to deflect Excalibur.

Noble Phantasms:
Hyper Weapon - The Weapon that Pierces the Heavens
Rank: EX
Type: Anti-female Servant/Support Noble Phantasm
Range: 1
Maximum Target: 1
A weapon that can turn any female Servant subservient to Rance. The release of its Imperial Juice incapacitates any female Servant it floods into, automatically cancelling any bond the Servant may have had towards its Master. It makes the Servant it controls more powerful by one rank in all stats. It also fully energizes Rance after violating any female Servant with Divinity.

Range: 1 ~ 2

Rank: B
Type: Anti-Army Noble Phantasm
Range: 1 ~ 50

I don't know about Sill, but I have gotten the impression that Caster may very well be the class with highest chance of winning the war as long as Caster survives long enough.
In both f/sn and f/z they were vulnerable because of how all other magi are at least familiar with magic and how their workshops are prone to being found.

They did however grow more and more powerful as time went. The Caster class might be weaker than other servants and they might have vulnerabilities such as leaving magical traces and so on, however as they are able to manipulate magic on an unrivaled level, they don't have the same limitations as all others have and given time they can utalize that potential.

Note well how the difference between Hibachi and the other Nuhes, though.

The other Nuhes have no emotion. There's scenes of Kazemaru spending time with various Nuhes, nothing doing from them.

With Hibachi, he orders her to live, and finally basically orders her to have free will.
