grizzled acorn
#

this is weird

slender skiff
#

Fate and Pokemon

#

And Araragi is Shinji of course

#

All we needed is Tamamo as Senjougahara

grizzled acorn
#

god i didnt realize kaiki had such a good va

slender skiff
#

And Da Vinci/Jeanne/Shiki as Shinobu

grizzled acorn
#

idk if i like this voice for him, but this is also roy, urahara, and sakamoto from gintama

slender skiff
#

And tada

grizzled acorn
#

and takumi

#

forgot takumi

slender skiff
#

Sometimes I forgot he did Mustang

grizzled acorn
#

I expected a more evil and deep voice for kaiki

#

kinda like aizen from bleach

slender skiff
#

Oh it is deep

#

Usually

#

This is just for the song

grizzled acorn
#

ah

#

holy shit

slender skiff
#

It's quite literally supposed to be a Karaoke session

grizzled acorn
#

idk who ferdinand from ascendance is but hes voiced by aizen

#

this guy must be funny

slender skiff
#

They were directed to sing it as a karaoke

#

He's probably the most important male character in the series

grizzled acorn
#

that went hard, preemptively adding it to the playlist

slender skiff
#

And he's the epitome of serious

#

Until Myne enters his life

#

As you might imagine

slender skiff
grizzled acorn
#

for sure

slender skiff
#

Almost all the OPs are sung by the VAs iirc

grizzled acorn
#

im a little biased but my favorites are sugar sweet nightmare and chocolate insomnia

slender skiff
#

Usually the female VAs

#

Which is why it's a joke that Kaiki is secretly best girl

grizzled acorn
#

he can have the spot of second best. ill allow it

slender skiff
#

Araragi never gets a chance to sing till the ED of the Zoku Owari movie iirc

grizzled acorn
#

it woulda been funnier if he never sung

slender skiff
#

Sugar sweet nightmare is amazing

#

If ever so slightly depressing

grizzled acorn
#

thats why i like it. i typically dont check out lyrics but for that song they hit

slender skiff
#

Then we have the other extreme

grizzled acorn
#

hanekawa is also my favorite and it isnt even close, hence the bias

slender skiff
#

Mousou Express being the opposite Renai Circulation

#

I'm sure you've heard Renai a billion times by now

grizzled acorn
#

2 billion

slender skiff
#

Mousou is basically when she starts to crack

#

Hence why

#

Mousou

#

Delusion

grizzled acorn
#

ive listened to that one

#

i think

slender skiff
#

It's the creepy one

grizzled acorn
#

some random monogatari songs are in my spotify playlist

slender skiff
#

Basically

#

It's meant to be bone chilling

#

Especially when you pay attention to the lyrics

#

And how it syncs up with Renai

#

The OP animation is a twisted version of Renai

grizzled acorn
#

ok i might watch that now before i finish the book

#

youre tempting me

slender skiff
#

And mousou express even ends with the same "se no"

#

That Renai starts with

#

This OP is for the arc immediately after mousou

#

And in classic monogatari fashion

grizzled acorn
#

wait wait hold on

#

i was looking at the ops on mal

#

wheres kanbaru's

slender skiff
#

The spoilers are everywhere if you understand the symbolism

#

Kanbaru has 2 I think?

grizzled acorn
#

hanamonogatari is the 3rd book?

slender skiff
#

Hana is the last in the timeline

#

Actually

grizzled acorn
#

read order is different

slender skiff
#

Hana was always weird

#

I felt it never fit

grizzled acorn
#

welp. this has thoroughly confused me

#

ive read it already, and i know it comes later

#

but where is it placed in the anime?

slender skiff
#

It's own series

#

A short one albeit

#

But it's stand alone

grizzled acorn
#

ok yeah ive listened to mousou

#

its this one

#

i knew it

slender skiff
#

Kanbaru has 2
Ambivalent World in Bake for rainy devil arc

grizzled acorn
#

i was looking at the stuff under second season

slender skiff
#

The other is
The Last Day of my Adolescence

grizzled acorn
#

i didnt know hanamonogatari was seperate from second season in the anime

slender skiff
#

For well

#

Hana

grizzled acorn
#

because its the third volume in the second season box set

#

and like, 10th in the overall read order

slender skiff
#

I know Res has read the books

#

I personally have not

grizzled acorn
#

i like them more than the anime

#

ive watched bakemonogatari and kizu only though. but I liked it when i read them more

slender skiff
#

@faint crag also preferred the books I think?

grizzled acorn
#

once im outta the college dorm theyll look great on a shelf too

#

regrettably, theyre under my bed on the floor because there is no such thing as space

slender skiff
#

Nisiosin

grizzled acorn
#

brilliant author. one of the best

#

even talking in terms of actual books and such, hes up there

#

my list imported to anilist weirdly, it didnt take in like 8 episodes of anime and almost 200 chapters of manga

#

all of the episode errors were from Fate. typical

thorn briar
#

I had to change and add stuff since i realised that there is a manga section in anilist pausechamp

grizzled acorn
#

is anilist slow with updating stuff? i just changed a bunch and the stats havent changed yet

#

i dont really know how it works

grizzled acorn
#

in a singular picture, you made me wanna rewatch case files

slender skiff
#

Honestly

#

For as complicated as case files is

#

It's probably the next most enjoyable anime installment to the franchise outside Zero, UBW and HF

#

Well on the side of simple to understand there's apoc

#

But the quality dip is very noticeable

#

Kaleid is more akin to a rollercoaster

grizzled acorn
#

If we're talking just the kalleid movie, its that

slender skiff
#

Well I meant the franchise in general

#

S1 is ok

#

S2 has the issue of very exaggerated Yuri

#

Well so does S3 but it's not nearly as bad as S2

grizzled acorn
#

Wait are we talking about only anime? Or do games and lns count

slender skiff
#

If we talk ln manga it's another ball game entirely

grizzled acorn
#

Because strange fake

slender skiff
#

Exactly

#

Well we are getting a special at the end of the year

grizzled acorn
#

And in games theres hollow ataraxia, so

slender skiff
#

So I guess it's technically gonna be an anime

#

At this point, I think waver appears in fate as much as Shirou tbh

grizzled acorn
#

Wavers cooler.

slender skiff
#

Not quite as often as Rin that said

grizzled acorn
#

I wish he had three routes with romance options

slender skiff
#

Rin appears more than Shirou himself

grizzled acorn
#

Because of kalleid?

slender skiff
#

Kaleid has Shirou too

grizzled acorn
#

True. Rins more prevalent in it though

slender skiff
#

It's strange fake, all the extra (moon) games, and case files

grizzled acorn
#

Oh true she was in extra

#

That was stupid so i forgot about it

slender skiff
#

One of the main characters in last encore, and well, one of the most important masters in the other extra games

#

One of the main characters in case files II

#

Also appears in Strange Fake alongside the entirety of Waver's class

thorn briar
grizzled acorn
#

Rin needs to piss off and give sakura some screen time

#

Respectively

slender skiff
#

Sakura has her time to shine in extra

#

So yeah

#

Or more precisely, CCC

grizzled acorn
#

Yeah i was gonna say

thorn briar
#

How about both of them getting screen time together DunktsukiStare

#

Rin with sakura

slender skiff
#

Their actual relationship has always been kinda frosty

#

They care about each other certainly

#

But well for one reason or another

#

They interfere with the other because they do

#

Rin forces Sakura to distance from Shirou in Fate and UBW

#

And HF well

#

If you watched HF you will know

thorn briar
#

I watched it but why rin does that MutsukiHyperStare

slender skiff
#

You don't get to see them have a proper relationship outside Hollow Ataraxia or Mealtime

slender skiff
#

She doesn't know what Zouken did after all

#

And it's only in HF does Zouken take things too far

thorn briar
slender skiff
#

Rin's intention has always been "protect sakura"

#

Cos she feels some sort of guilt

thorn briar
slender skiff
#

I mean, ||Kirei tried to||

#

But by then well

#

Zouken doesn't get involved in Fate or UBW

thorn briar
#

Yeah , but didn't ||sakura do it when he became a bug||

slender skiff
#

And it's most likely he just kinda shrivels and dies

slender skiff
thorn briar
#

I was actually happy when that happened pausechamp

slender skiff
#

Floof

#

Sakura ||calling her nee-san is nothing short of comforting||

thorn briar
slender skiff
#

Shirou, Sakura and Rin all can cook well

#

Shirou of course being on the next level, especially with western dishes

#

Sakura excels with Japanese dishes

#

Rin with Chinese

#

Saber uh

thorn briar
#

I liked in HF when both of them stayed together to ||restore shirou|| PortDoll

slender skiff
#

Knows that she should just wait patiently

thorn briar
#

Just wait and then she get to eat EntyHeh

#

I remember berserker taking shirou with him just to cut a tree for Christmas IfritLaugh

slender skiff
#

Every interaction between Shirou and Berserker in the spin offs are nothing short of hilarious

thorn briar
#

Gilgamesh when he said that he wants saber as his take out instead of food kek

grizzled acorn
#

because sakura won

slender skiff
#

The only saberface that can probably cook at least somewhat decently is ||Gray||

grizzled acorn
#

||gray|| cant cook and you cant convince me she can

slender skiff
#

She does help prepare waver's meals so

#

At the very least she's better than the field cooked meals of the other saberfaces

grizzled acorn
#

toddlers can help with meal prep. she cannot cook. itll burn every time

#

i have full faith in morgan le fay's cooking ability though

thorn briar
grizzled acorn
#

exactly

#

sakura deserves the world, she was there day 1 for shirou

slender skiff
#

And who do we thank for that?

grizzled acorn
#

zouken

slender skiff
#

Taiga you fool

grizzled acorn
#

zouken

slender skiff
#

If you're gonna thank Zouken

grizzled acorn
#

taiga is awesome though, she was lowkey pushing the sakura agenda

slender skiff
#

Might as well thank papa tohsaka

grizzled acorn
#

she understands

#

might as well thank kotomine kirei. for no reason in particular

slender skiff
#

Kirei was more responsible for Rin if anything

#

She learnt her cooking from him too

thorn briar
#

We need to thank rin as well pausechamp

grizzled acorn
#

wait kirei taught her how to cook?

#

holy shit kirei is wife material

slender skiff
#

It's strongly implied he did

#

She basically lived under his protection for almost 10 years

thorn briar
#

I remember rin doesn't know how to use a blu ray dvd player pausechamp

grizzled acorn
#

why didnt kirei teach her how to make the mapo tofu

slender skiff
#

Traditional mages in general are just bad with technology in general

slender skiff
thorn briar
grizzled acorn
#

it shoulda been her signature dish

slender skiff
#

Mapo is a Chinese dish

#

And Rin specialises in Chinese dishes

grizzled acorn
#

holy shit its all coming together

slender skiff
#

She absolutely knows how to cook it

grizzled acorn
#

i still cant get over the fact that the only food that Kirei likes is the super spicy mapo tofu from that one specific restaurant

slender skiff
#

Most of what Rin knows is taught by Kirei tbh

#

Except her magecraft really

grizzled acorn
#

just, why. for what reason does this exist

slender skiff
#

At the bare minimum, she picked up cqc from Kirei

#

That said she wouldn't stand a chance against him

#

It would be interesting to see Kirei face off Soichirou in a fight however

grizzled acorn
#

kirei would win

slender skiff
#

Cos of magic yes

#

With caster's support hard to say

grizzled acorn
#

i think itd be more fun seeing them be homies though

slender skiff
#

We will never know for sure

#

They never meet in any canon variation

#

You never explicitly find out who's caster's master outside of ubw after all

thorn briar
#

The blond weird guy

slender skiff
#

I mean Soichirou himself

grizzled acorn
#

he isnt blonde?

slender skiff
#

Not the original master

thorn briar
#

I meant the other one

grizzled acorn
#

the blonde goon male died

thorn briar
#

Okay

grizzled acorn
#

he isnt real

thorn briar
grizzled acorn
#

mans died off-screen. fake character

thorn briar
#

All i remember is that i wanted to slap him in the face DunktsukiStare

slender skiff
#

In fate route, caster is killed by Gil at the Emiya household

#

(anime differs)

#

I mean the VN

#

Anime fate route is different

#

Cos that part of the story mishmashes HF and UBW elements

grizzled acorn
#

ender

#

i have done extensive digging

#

its real

#

the one piece

thorn briar
slender skiff
#

I mean

#

Kirei is implied to at the very least

#

Be an extremely good cook for mapo tofu

#

In the ||miyuverse||, he runs a fucking mapo tofu shop

#

That illya struggles to eat

grizzled acorn
#

i thought it was a ramen shop?

slender skiff
#

And had no money to pay for until ||kid Gil bailed her||

#

A ramen shop that only sold mapo

#

Essentially

grizzled acorn
#

chad ramen shop

#

for real men

slender skiff
#

Do you really think he'd cook ramen

#

Ok well actually it is believable

thorn briar
#

I remember that PortDoll

grizzled acorn
#

yeah he'd make the evil spiciest ramen

slender skiff
#

Considering his lifestyle between zero and stay night

#

He absolutely knows how to cook other food

thorn briar
#

Cause i stopped when they went there pausechamp

grizzled acorn
#

the 8000 scoville ramen the youtubers are eating

#

thats what kirei is making

slender skiff
#

That's how he meets bazett after all, on the field

#

Which is why bazett was even chosen as a master for the war

thorn briar
#

Isn't bazett the girl wearing a suit DunktsukiStare

grizzled acorn
#

im reading the kaleid kirei wiki.

grizzled acorn
#

"he asks Illya to pay for the mapo tofu that he served them even if they have to pay with their owns bodies" i do not remember this

#

the rumor about priests are true

slender skiff
#

It's not in the movie

#

It's in s3

thorn briar
#

Wasn't she in the 2nd season MutsukiHyperStare

slender skiff
#

When she gets, for lack of a better word, ||isekaied||

#

Bazett was in s2 yes

#

The clocktower always sends a master to the fuyuuki wars

#

In zero they likely intended to send kayneth and another master

#

Until waver hijacked kayneth's catalyst

#

In stay night they send Atrum and Bazett

#

Both manage to summon their servants but neither master actually manages to participate in the war

#

Atrum is, of course killed by caster

#

Bazett ||had her arm with her command seals cut by Kirei, immediately after summoning Lancer, and if not for Caren's intervention, would have eventually died after Kirei did||

#

If not for the events of case files

#

It's likely Waver might have ended up dead himself

#

Or at least incapacitated

#

That said if he was indeed successful in summoning rider again

#

The war would have ended up quite differently I imagine

grizzled acorn
#

Without gilgamesh, iskandar has it in the bag

slender skiff
#

One issue

#

Herc

grizzled acorn
#

With adult waver, its over

slender skiff
#

Herc is always the issue

#

Because even if iskandar has a whole RM

#

If they're below a certain level in strength they can't even hurt herc

#

Heck, cu can force 1-on-1s himself

#

One of his greatest feats was facing down an entire army himself after all

#

And then there's another issue

#

Atrum would have likely summoned Siegfried instead of Medea

#

If iskandar was summoned as rider

grizzled acorn
#

The problem with facing iskandars army is that theyre all servants

slender skiff
#

That they are

#

But as said it always boils down to

#

"Can you kill herc"

#

Or rather, can you force illya out for her to be killed

grizzled acorn
#

Any servant should be able to damage him if they get a hit in

slender skiff
#

Nope

#

His NP prevents that

#

Need to be above certain strength level

#

Or have your NP be above certain level

grizzled acorn
#

Theres no way that out of all the servants in his army, less than 3 would be strong enough

#

That outta do it, i think

slender skiff
#

And damage is

#

Not necessarily going to be enough

#

Since it discounts herc's ability to fight back

#

They might be able to hurt him

#

Or heck, let's say they kill him

#

Now what

#

He becomes immune to the way he died

grizzled acorn
#

Yeah, but ||just archer alone killed herc how many times?||

slender skiff
#

You're forgetting something

#

Archer has broken phantasms

grizzled acorn
#

He crafted a thousand blades, true

slender skiff
#

None of the servants in Ionioi Hetairoi have NPs

#

Or even broken phantasms

#

Archer can do it because he has many ways of killing herc

#

Outside Gil, or plot armour (re: HF), no one is killing herc solo

#

That or you blow through several of his lives in an instant, which is what saber does in fate route

grizzled acorn
#

Can none of them use their np? Or do they not have one

slender skiff
#

They do not have any

grizzled acorn
#

Does ptolemy not have an np?

slender skiff
#

Or rather

#

As a true servant they would have an NP

#

Not as a servant summoned by Ionioi Hetairoi

grizzled acorn
#

Yeah

#

Unlucky

slender skiff
#

The true power in iskandar's NP against herc is more of distracting herc long enough for iskandar himself to attack illya directly

#

But that's of course easier said than done

#

Herc already did the impossible against Gil and broke free of the chains of the heaven in UBW... After illya was already dying

grizzled acorn
#

What if he pulled only illya into ionioi hetairoi

slender skiff
#

Illya is not going to be separated from herc that easily

#

Essentially herc vs iskandar

grizzled acorn
#

How much control does he have over what goes in?

slender skiff
#

Is more a bum rush

grizzled acorn
#

Can he like pinpoint it?

#

Not that iskandar would do it, even

slender skiff
#

As shown in zero

#

He would actually need to summon it with himself as the center

grizzled acorn
#

Yeah not happening

#

Hercs between em 100% of the time

slender skiff
#

If it was a bounded field it would be different

#

As said there is a small chance you could overwhelm herc with sheer numbers and then take a potshot at illya then

#

It wouldn't be a pretty battle regardless

#

And while Siegfried may not have the same brute force as herc

#

He too has immunity to weaker attacks

grizzled acorn
#

Actually cant iskandar just drop lightning on them and aoe hit illya?

slender skiff
#

Technically yes

grizzled acorn
#

Hes too much of a chad to win like that, but hypothetically he could

slender skiff
#

It's more taking advantage of illya's arrogance too

#

If she knows she's threatened she would literally just sit on herc

#

And then herc just swats everything away

#

Even cu vs iskandar is a question mark

#

Cu has runes to force one on one battles

grizzled acorn
#

I think cu wins a 1v1 lowkey

slender skiff
#

Oh absolutely

grizzled acorn
#

Can he stop ionioi hetaroi?

slender skiff
#

Given cu managed to hold off an army solo in lore

grizzled acorn
#

Yeah but not iskandars army

slender skiff
#

He did hold off Gil for 12 hours

#

Gil

grizzled acorn
#

Cu's too strong for a 3* in fgo

slender skiff
#

Admittedly, Gil that didn't bust out ea

grizzled acorn
#

He isnt worthy of the sword of rapture

slender skiff
#

But cu holds up Gil for 12 hours in fate route

#

According to Nasu himself

grizzled acorn
#

Well, enkidu holds him for 3 days and 3 nights

slender skiff
#

I mean it's enkidu

grizzled acorn
#

In real Mesopotamian lore

slender skiff
#

Enkidu is pretty much the only thing that can stand toe to toe with Gil in a direct battle

#

And that's ignoring a fatal issue

#

If Bazett actually participated as cu's master

#

Well

#

She can take out every other servant except herc by herself

#

I imagine it would definitely be more challenging to pull off Fragarach against iskandar

#

But then it's a matter of reaching waver instead

#

Iskandar probably wins in such a match up

#

Unless Fragarach can proc against Hetairoi or his other NPs

#

Hard to say

#

It can technically be seen as an offensive trump card but like

#

At that point it depends on who you ask

grizzled acorn
#

i didnt know bazett was that strong wtf

slender skiff
#

It's cos she has a real NP

grizzled acorn
#

is that elaborated on in ha?

slender skiff
#

Not a grail made copy

#

That it is

#

She has something called Fragarach

grizzled acorn
#

i need to play it

slender skiff
#

Which a weapon owned by Cu's father

#

It acts very similarly to Gae Bolg mechanics wise

grizzled acorn
#

praying for official english release like mahoyo

slender skiff
#

It's a counter based noble phantasm

grizzled acorn
#

never happening tho

slender skiff
#

If the enemy attempts to use their trump card against you, and you use Fragarach, Fragarach travels back in time to kill the enemy before their trump card was launched

#

As I said, like Gae Bolg, it's concept based

grizzled acorn
#

thats op

slender skiff
#

Herc doesn't care because

  1. His is a defensive trump card
#

And 2. lol he has 12 lives anyways

#

We see her on screen dispatching saber

#

After "forcing" her to excaliblast through angra shenanigans

#

And if you've seen her fighting in kaleid, she's no slouch in hand to hand combat either

#

She's at least as good as Kirei

grizzled acorn
#

can she eat the extremely spicy mapo tofu though?

slender skiff
#

Ironically

#

That's a possibility

grizzled acorn
#

youre just hyping me up for ha though, bazett and caren are really interesting characters ive not gotten to see much of, so.

slender skiff
#

Given Kirei and Bazett met many times in the 10 years between Zero and Stay Night

#

It's quite well possible she tried it at least

#

I mean nights

#

Anything with Bazett and Caren takes place in between the SoL bits

grizzled acorn
#

ohh now i see. i need to play ha to understand whats cooking in the emiya household

slender skiff
#

Such as Medusa stealing Shirou's bicycle

#

Again

#

Or illya turning her forest into an obstacle course

#

Or Mitsuzuri (the red haired classmate) getting a crush on cu

grizzled acorn
#

thats a plot point?

slender skiff
grizzled acorn
#

fucking when

slender skiff
#

Or
Kid Gil revealing that he owns the largest water park in town

#

The one that Shirou will end up going with each of the girls to

#

Or the time Shirou walks in on Saber trying on a swimsuit, only for Taiga to then walk in a few minutes later

#

Forcing saber to summon back her armour...and the same yellow rain coat

#

Or archer trying to UBW Shirou again

#

Or lancer trying to fish on the pier in peace, only to get upstaged by archer's "traced" high tech fishing rods and later Gil's golden-likely-a-noble-phantasm fishing rod

trim swan
#

good now spoiler tag everything

slender skiff
#

The last one is just sad

grizzled acorn
#

that all coulda been in carnival phantasm but none of it was

slender skiff
#

I mean

#

Why would they want to put the same story in phantasm

#

Phantasm came out before zero's anime remember?

grizzled acorn
#

nah im saying it fits

#

no actually, but that makes sense

slender skiff
#

Unless you were a die hard fan you probably wouldn't even watch it

#

I mean lancer in phantasm is just

#

90% LANCER GA SHINDA

grizzled acorn
#

i never checked carnival phantasms release date, actually

slender skiff
#

Fairly sure it's before or around zero

grizzled acorn
#

it aired like 2 months before

#

but ended after

#

which makes sense, kiritsugu showed up in one of the later episodes of it iirc

slender skiff
#

Well

#

We do see how well rider can peddle

#

In phantasm

#

If she can outspeed a car

#

And bust through a guard rail

grizzled acorn
#

i can do all that too, personally speaking

slender skiff
#

Riding A+

#

Sorry, I should add, on what Shinji and Taiga call a "granny bike"

#

Not even a sports bike

grizzled acorn
#

yeah the fucking dollar store bike for toddlers

slender skiff
#

And then in HA she constantly steals Shirou's personal higher quality bike because it can go way faster than the one he gave her

#

Sasuga rida

grizzled acorn
#

what can rider do with the bike kiritsugu gave to saber

slender skiff
#

If Emiya mealtime is any indication

#

Possibly quite a lot

#

Relevant

grizzled acorn
#

its been like 2-3 years since ive watched emiya cooking time. this is all a throwback

slender skiff
#

I mean she drove a car up a close to vertical slope

solemn pollen
grizzled acorn
#

spanish subtitles makes it

slender skiff
#

I don't think Teslas are shaped like that

solemn pollen
#

yeah but that acceleration reminded me of that clip of that tesla car in china going full speed from malfunctioning

slender skiff
#

I don't quite think that makes it scale a cliff

#

That said it would seem like all einzbern homunculi are a bit uh

#

Questionable when it comes to driving

grizzled acorn
#

i wonder what is irisviels riding skill

"Not as good as saber's"

#

Is all we can say for sure

grizzled acorn
#

sooo

#

A

slender skiff
#

Nah

#

Saber isn't A

grizzled acorn
#

i thought saber had A?

#

oh its B rank

#

you can do that shit with B rank god damn

slender skiff
#

A allows you to ride phantasmal beasts

#

B allows you to ride any machine or normal animals

#

That's why rider can ride on Pegasus

#

..as for why is that her NP, god knows

#

Well bellaraphon (the reins) are technically what the NP is called

grizzled acorn
#

thats the np. its anti-army iirc

slender skiff
#

And the only connection between Pegasus and Medusa is that Pegasus sprang from the chopped neck of Medusa

#

Perseus himself most certainly did not ride Pegasus

grizzled acorn
#

i think her other np is ||her eyes? or are those plain old mystic eyes||

slender skiff
#

Those are plain old mystic eyes

grizzled acorn
#

😭

slender skiff
#

It's why touko was able to give her glasses to seal them

#

It's her blood fort that's the other NP

grizzled acorn
#

boring, you can buy them on a train or something

slender skiff
#

No actually

#

Touko has a monopoly on those glasses

ivory mauve
#

@stable herald not like this man. Not like this
BiskoSweat EssexCry

grizzled acorn
#

no I mean the eyes

slender skiff
#

Her mystic eyes are very high grade needless to say

#

Highest quality ones

#

As said the other NP is Blood Fort Andromeda

#

The one Shinji forces her to use to get more mana

#

From the students in the school

grizzled acorn
#

yeah i remember that

#

is that based on medusa's lair?

slender skiff
#

I believe so

#

Not well versed in rider's full assets

#

Both figuratively and literally

#

Would you like to know what rider thinks of Perseus?

grizzled acorn
#

Yes

#

Youve piqued my interest

slender skiff
#

When asked by Shirou
She likens Perseus to a "successful Shinji"

grizzled acorn
#

Shinji is successful...

#

In last encore only..

slender skiff
#

More of ccc

#

But you get the idea

ivory mauve
grizzled acorn
#

In fate canon lore, perseus is an asshole and a sex offender. Good lore drop

slender skiff
#

Rider says she doesn't blame him for killing her

#

Given the atrocities she was committing as Gorgon

#

In fact she is somewhat grateful

#

That said

#

She is still a little bitter about it

#

Which is why she compares Perseus to Shinji

#

She further goes on to say

#

Perseus also deserves to be pitied in a sense

faint crag
#

But anime is still great so there's that

grizzled acorn
#

Anime also skipped a lot of the funny dialogue, which nisioisin is super good at. Which is a great loss. Love both though

slender skiff
#

Cos he was quite literally living a normal life
When the gods were like
What up dawg, I need you go kill this giant snake thingy
Imma give you a very shiny shield, a pair sandals and a glorified gunny sack

#

Now go kill this snake

#

Who has also killed like a hundred guys before you

#

By just looking at them

grizzled acorn
#

His life wasnt normal wasnt he thrown into the ocean in a box when he was born?

slender skiff
#

Oh wait I forgot the helmet

#

Nights that's relatively normal for a Greek myth

ivory mauve
#

Knights and magic art slaps

grizzled acorn
#

Ok, fair

#

Oedipus Rex wasnt too outrageous back then either

slender skiff
#

We have seen Perseus in prototype however

#

And given how incomplete prototype is

#

Most we can say is like

#

He's quite loyal

#

And quite strong

#

I mean he can turn invisible

#

That's not normal for a rider

#

And a weird crowbar that can hit anything divine really hard

grizzled acorn
#

Why does perseus have a crowbar???

#

Acrisius' mythical crowbar of god slaying

slender skiff
#

And while hers looks like a scythe in fgo

#

You cannot be telling me that is a scythe (that's from fsn/fha)

grizzled acorn
#

That looks like a fancy shepherds crook more than anything

slender skiff
#

And guess what

#

It's actually supposed to be a holy sword

ivory mauve
#

But how

#

Fate is just too big wtf

grizzled acorn
#

The alleged god of the forge Hephaestus making the ugliest fucking sword ever

slender skiff
#

Well it's more of Zeus in this case

grizzled acorn
#

Hephaestus was the one who gave perseus his sword

#

Unless fate changed it

#

Hades gave him his helmet, hephaestus his sword, hermes his boots, and i think athena gave him the shield

slender skiff
#

That's supposed to be in real lore yes

grizzled acorn
#

Well if it wasnt made by Hephaestus in fate lore, that explans why it sucks

slender skiff
#

Perseus is the narrator for Medusa's past in Fate/hollow ataraxia. After Medusa tells the story of her death, she mentions that having her head used so casually by "an...adolescent..." angers her greatly. Shirou asks her to clarify, "You mean Perseus, right...?" and makes the point that he "can't call him a "victim," but it does sound like he got tricked into it." Medusa replies "I suppose so." and agrees that he was fooled by the gods.

While she does mention that in any case, she saw him as a "mere mosquito" at the time, and that she does not feel any sympathy for him, Medusa does give him credit; "Personally, there is no way I could bring myself to like him. Nevertheless, he did become a fine character afterwards." However right after she said this, when Shirou asks what Perseus was like, she insults him by calling him a "successful Shinji."

#

She earns more than some nobles

grizzled acorn
#

she has 2 million dollars rn

#

but that aint much

slender skiff
#

So that should indicate to you how rich she is

#

And part 2 emphasises just how much she earns

#

Or rather how skilled she is at business in general

Im talking about in volume 3 of part 1 ||when benno buys the rights to make it for 6 small gold coins, meaning lutz and myne arent making it anymore||

yeah thats what i assumed but i wasnt 100% on that. now idk how they make money, guess ill find out
