Not sure...

Spoiler for spoilers?:

If Kayneth and Tokiomi would even stop Zouken.

They can be extremely stupid and poor in survival. Tokiomi, IIRC, is an average magus. So I don't think is impossible for him to get stomped. Kayneth is really good, though, the strongest in the war ironically (funny how the Lancers get the best Magus of the war: Bazett, Kayneth, but they get trolled somehow. Their Luck, it HAS to be). I'd think the major issue is to get a strong Servant compatible with Zouken. Lancelot wouldn't be. Neither would Medusa. Assassin wouldn't assure a victory

And that pesky fear of death.
