Why this match up? (Taken from the wiki, because they explain it best)
Quote:
Berserker is constantly under the effects of Mad Enhancement, so he is difficult to control in battle. While he will follow Kariya's general orders, he will easily ignore them if he has another target he wishes to attack. Due to his connection with Saber, he immediately attacks her at any available point, and the only way to completely stop him is with a Command Spell. He uses a great deal of prana every time he acts, and combined with Kariya's fragile state of health, he brings his Master closer to death with each battle.
While his armor has many defining marks that easily show his identity, he remains unidentified due to the Noble Phantasm For Someone's Glory, a black fog that engulfs him to prevent others from discerning his identity by obscuring his figure and keeping enemy Masters from reading his abilities. The anime renders him in CG while under its effects to show the alien nature of his appearance, and he is drawn normally after it is dispelled. The true nature of the ability would allow him to disguise himself as other Heroic Spirits, but the only way to use it as Berserker is to force him with a Command Spell.
He mainly uses Knight of Honor in battle against other Servants for the duration of the Holy Grail War. Due to his fighting prowess during life, he can make use of anything he classifies as a weapon, from telephone poles to the Noble Phantasms of others, as his own Noble Phantasm. The skill, combined with his abilities being boosted by Mad Enhancement, allow him to even put up a good fight against Gilgamesh.[1] Both Noble Phantasms are sealed upon drawing his main Noble Phantasm, Arondight, a sister sword of Excalibur. It does not have a large scale attack, but instead boosts his parameters, increases the success rate of Saving throw, and provides an advantage against dragons due to its legend.

...the bolded text also makes for hilarious and amazing fanart. Only character I know of who can honestly turn food into a true weapon, if he tried. XD
