So King Arthur in Japan is just English flavored Joan of Arc.

Lot of gender bent in the fate series. Basically she's a woman that pretended to be a young looking man though Merlins magic and emotionally didn't felt like a king which led to issues with her reign. If interested, start with fate zero there but it is a rabbit hole.

Mordred is also a woman with two mothers there, conceived with the help of some magic.

Fate was a rabbit hole that I still haven't found the bottom of. I had trouble finding a proper watch order.

Any one interested in a meta fictional look at The Matter of Britain should read the comic series Once and Future. It's simply superb

Amazing, do you have a link to the OP?

Also, quite interestingly, the accurate one should include "depression".
