>>4371405 (OP)
Oops, when I realized, the previous Thread was already the last one in the Catalog.
Our little General is pretty slow nowadays, so it'll probably still be up when the Lilim Harlot Event comes in April, hence the OP.

No news that I remember, aside from the mangas getting a new chapter each not too long ago.

Btw, I forgot to ask, about Mrs. Snake/Omi-san, I have seen some people hoping she'll be the next Valentine Servant. But what are the chances? What do you folks think? Will they do it?
After all, people also thought Typhon would be 2024's Valentine Servant, but that clearly didn't happen, and we got a literal who instead (I really don't remember her name, but I do remember we'll have to fight the background during her Event).

>>4372033
This needs to happen. She really blew up in popularity

>>4373221
Can't trust Lasagna for a second, but I also hope it happens.

>>4373447
Wonder why the artist added that curtain.

>>4373750
And it's the year of the snake. I won't get my hopes up but I'm crossing my fingers you'll get her. Also was there any Gorgon content during the event? It's been awhile since we've seen Gudako's snake wife

>>4374126
My clairvoyance is mostly blocked for story, but as far as I know, Gorgon, by virtue of being a snake, had Event Bonus, and she even got a Skill Upgrade, however, can't say anything about story relevancy, Medusa had a relevant role (since you know, the original from stay night), but if other version of her got anything, we'll have to wait and see.

Nice that this got scanned, completely passed by me.

>>4376157
Interesting that they used the post-FGO Alter Ego character developments for Melt and Lip but they still have their CCC outfits (If you can all them that). Hakuno would generally not have positive impressions with them in Extra CCC but I digress.

>>4376267

This is why Birdhatter is the GOAT

>>4377600
It's funny how Kama was introduced as a character to give Kirara more development with Gudako, but over time surpassed her in popularity and relevance. This is why I sometimes say it's not always good to just be a friend of Gudako's. They aren't that good at writing characters that are just that so 9/10 those characters are just forgotten. I can't think of a bigger example of this than Kama and Kirara. Kama is a fan favorite, has a lot of content with Gudako, and is still featured pretty heavily in the game (a bit less lately unfortunately). Meanwhile Kirara, Semi, Bryn, the lady that likes Siegfried, and some others are stuck attached to a forgettable male character. If they're not that they're like Salome, an even more forgettable character.

Still weird that BB giving Kazuradrop a foot monster as her 3rd component instead of another fae/insect.

>>4377601
Well Kiara being from CCC means like everyone from Extra/CCC they don't want them to stray too far from their original character(except Nursery Rhyme who is now just Alice).

>>4377833
That doesn't make much sense when you remember Melt, Lip, BB, and Hans are also from that game and have made multiple appearances

>>4378135
>BB
Much to my personal chagrin and the unironic detriment to the FGO main story

>>4378135
>Melt,
Only has shown up as much as Kiara.
>Lip,
Barely shows up.
>BB,
They got around it by making a seperate BB just for Gudako.
>and Hans
Only shows up as a joke.

>>4378289
All them have more development with Gudako than Kirara. And I call bullshit that Kirara has appeared as much as Melt. She also has half as much development with Gudako has all of these characters
While I'm here I'll throw Protea in there as well

>>4378499

>>4378499
>And I call bullshit that Kirara has appeared as much as Melt.
And you'd be wrong.

>>4378499
I know this is a majorly unpopular opinion here, but not every goddamn character needs to have a bond with Gudako to a) have development and b) have fans.

>>4378518
Nah I'd doubt that

>>4378525
I never said they did. I'm just saying that when they don't they are less likely to have any development. They are Gudako's servants after all. Plus Fate's stories are usually about servants and masters developing together

FIT GUDAKO!

>>4378665
>Nah I'd doubt that
You'd still be wrong.

>>4378960
No actually you are. Melt has definitely appeared more than her

>>4378985
Someone even counted every appearance of all the characters in FGO and Melty has 8 to Kiara's 6. I mean just say you don't know for sure without trying to look smart just to be proven wrong. It doesn't even change my original point anyway

Dubai x Hakuno is the best imo

>Guess I'll finally use my teapots
>They expired yesterday (at the moment)
>"Oh no. . . oh well."
Am I stupid for giving 0 fucks about the Teapots?

There was something more to say, but I forgot.

>>4377595
Always appreciate some new Louhi art.

>>4377601
>"Kirara" every single time
Auto-correct?

>the lady that likes Sumanai
Kriem(hild).

>Salome
To be fair, while she was labeled "just Kiyohi" or "Kiyohi 2.0", unlike Kiyohi herself, Salome actually got a pretty good role in Traum, suppressing her tendency to see Gudako as whatshisname in order to protect her (instead of you know, trying to kill her), which is almost what I have been wishing would happen to Kiyohi for 7+ years.

>it's not always good to just be a friend of Gudako's.
The main problem really is this being a gacha game, a.k.a. a "Waifu collector game", so anyone who is deemed "not waifu material" is quickly cast aside by most people, inclusive the devs, then, paradoxaly, they go and shove those married Servants at our face with every opportunity and expect people to just like them... I think I'm rambling, but like, Sei, I don't have her, so I don't know her Bond lines, but she seems to be like a "just a friend" Servant, that said, they could very well include her in more events to show more interactions of her with Gudako and everyone else, but they'll always choose to put emiya, Amakusa or Robin instead...

>>4377772
Is it 100% confirmed to be her 3rd component?
Either way, the legend is about the phenomenon, rather than the monster itself (which, if I may add, is possibly a giant, but since the story happens inside the mansion, it's never seen, only its foot, and Kazuradrop really seems to like being the giant among her enemies), and considering the more popular interpretation of "foot washing = rehabilitating a criminal", one could probably argue that it simbolizes Kazuradrop being so evil (and in need of rehabilitation).
Or maybe I'm just saying bs, always a possibility too.

>>4377833
Have yet to play CCC, so can't really say anything.
. . .
However, while maybe changing Kiara-chan from "wanting to fuck everything" to "wanting to fuck Gudako specifically" may be too much, they still had her give up becoming a BEAST again just so she could stay with Gudako a while longer, so couldn't they at least have her appear a little more frequently, just to show how she continues to support Gudako, even if trying to keep her distance at the same time? Or something like that.
Also:
That thing, about Kiara essencially slipping away from everyone's memories when she's not directly interacting with them, is such effect stablished in CCC? Or is it something that started with her appearance in FGO?

>>4378163
How so? I don't remember she showing up in any Main Chapter.
Also, are you the same person with whom I have already discussed "BB in FGO" before?

>>4378499
>And I call bullshit that Kiara has appeared as much as Melt.
From the top of my head:
Melt:
>SE.RA.PH as the main heroine;
>Las Vegas as one of the facility bosses;
>Imaginary Scramble as part of the reconnaissance team;
>Sea Monster Crisis as... I don't remember why the Servants that were there, were there, but I remember her becoming friends with one of the Kon;
>Some minor cameos here and there?

Kiara:
>SE.RA.PH as main antagonist;
>Ooku as part of the main team (not quite as "Main" as Melt in SE.RA.PH, but certainly very important);
>Summer Camp as . . . what again? Was she just fooling around? I don't remember;
As far as Kiara goes, I feel like she either has a significant role or she doesn't show up at all, while Melt can appear here and there as either a supporting role or simple cameos.

>>4378500
A shame we can't give chocolate for rebellious phase Protea.

>>4378525
I agree, but unfortunately, there's the problem I outlined in the previous post. . . if I'm right anyways.

>>4378694
?

>>4378987
>Melty has 8 to Kiara's 6
Guess my list is useless now.

>>4379010
>How so? I don't remember she showing up in any Main Chapter.
Ordeal Call? The one that hijacked summer event?

>>4379009
>they go and shove those married Servants at our face with every opportunity and expect people to just like them...
People on the Grand Order reddit enjoy the married couples, actually.

>>4379009
Not confirmed yet but the hints for her 3rd component were came from her bond CE, her 2nd NP (Atomicros Muryan "Foot"), the "I won't let you washed my feet!" line in her SG, and the fact she'll stomping you if you keeps asking her about her last component beside Muryan and Pixie.

>>4379053
People still go there?

>>4379010
Game forgot Kiara was a therapist and should be the one healing Gudako from all the stress and pressure she's under

>>4379178
Most people actually do.

>>4379048
Oh, whoops, you're totally right, my bad.
Since that's still in the future for me, it slipped my mind (I'll go with this excuse).

>>4379053
Well shit... guess some people like them then.
. . . then again, I know /u/ preferences aren't all that popular.

>>4379122
Yeah, "All but confirmed" seems to fit pretty well here.

We all know that Kiara-chan isn't very well liked here, but I still wish she were more relevant.

Is there any new valentine scenes in JP that's worth taking a look at?

Who would've guessed Hakuno would be so bold. I also found it funny that there's an option where it's hinted Gudako thought she was going in for a kiss

>>4380840
From the same artist.

>>4382350
Rin's jewel plug always makes me smile.

>>4383137
Folder mix-up in case anyone asks.

I have been unaware for 20 days... but as they say, better late than never.
Anyways, chapter 43 of Shimosa is out, so go see Jack fighting Shuten, and Gudako using Jack to exploit Mama's greatest weakness.

>>4385891
I wonder if using Jack was a meta joke since many people probably used her to defeat them. There's no better servant to defeat female enemies than Jack

Jalter is really cute here

>>4371405 (OP)
I know this is just the FGO thread and probably nobody here actually reads any Type-Moon stuff beyond that bloody gacha, but Witch on the Holy Night is on sale and I just saw this CG.
Is this just some fakeout or is there actually something relevant in that VN?

>>4389956
i wouldnt count on Yuri in type moon series unless in really rare cases

>>4389958
What an utterly useless response. I know damn well myself that Nasu just writes bisluts. But that doesn't mean side-characters can't have potential. And at least the Extraverse and Prillya are delivering.
This CG might just be her healing the girl with a kiss or some BS, but Nasu always makes his female character bi, so it might be some subtext.

>>4389960
Then you should know they are bi sluts at best the game even covers their taste in man. It's not even a bait just usual kiss thing to activate or save someone

>>4389964
Is this just a guess or do you speak with the authority of someone who read it?

>>4389965
I have not read it but i say it as a type moon fag
The game isnt Yuri its the usual fate stuff there is a reason threre is a male second protag so that people can self insert.
The girl below is into that second protag
I know it from general Osmosis

>>4389966
So your input is worthless. I wish you would have led with that.

>>4389969
I mean what i said stays true and you know it type moon only does het or bi stuff, even prillya girls are very much into shirou and their relationship with eachother is treated as a joke for "lol kissing"
There is like one canon yuri pair and even they got chucked into fate go to be with mc there.

>>4389969
I say all that but witch of the holy knight from what i see from some of the scenes and other people talking about it, is a cool story with amazing moments but it for sure isnt yuri.

>>4389966
>The game isnt Yuri its the usual fate stuff there is a reason threre is a male second protag so that people can self insert.
I opened the thread and thought you were talking about FGO.

>>4389974
>>4389975
Please just shut up already. You self-important moron. Nobody cares about your oh-so-experienced input. I asked a clear cut question about a game you didnt play. You have no value to this topic. I am asking people who actually know what they are talking about.

>>4390148
Its not self importance your question is retarded there is a no subtext to even a feed a fanfiction bettwen these two.

Not board related, but Dante announced the end:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dSDAXIGZkhc
Will you be sad?
Or will you celebrate?
But more important, once it ends, will the english version keep going for 2 more years, or will it end alongside JP?

>>4391448
It won't end, it makes too much money.

>>4391452
Gudako will just die and then end up wandering Avalon or some shit.

>>4391452
FGO will do what all series that want to keep going even though they writers don't know what else to do. They'll go to space.

>>4386320
I'm sure it was.

>>4391452
Well, guess that's the logical answer.

>>4391685
After surviving LB7, personally I think we're past the risk of Gudako dying.

>>4391812
And as expected, they didn't make her the Valentine Servant.

>>4391814
>They'll go to space.
I would be fine with that.

>>4392072
>And as expected, they didn't make her the Valentine Servant.
Japanese authors as Valentine servants are kinda getting predictable, aren't they?

>>4392161
Indeed... That does seem like a safe bet overall (tho last year people thought it would be Typhon Ephemeros, but it ended being. . . that other girl).
That said, who where all the Valentine Servants? Let's see:
>2016 = Nero Bride
>2017 = Ecchan
>2018 = Semi
>2019 = Murasaki
>2020 = Switch-chan
>2021 = Amor
>2022 = Manannán
>2023 = Johanna
>2024 = Andromeda
>2025 = Komachi
I guess Nero and Ecchan are debatable, since it was very early game and I don't remember if they even had an Event or if they were just unceremoniously released.

>>4389956
I'm extremely late but this is just Nasu writing another drugging scene with a gay kiss like he did with Lio and Mikiya in KNK, that scene, Soujuurou buying Alice and Aoko tickets for an aquarium date, and Kuma secretly keeping a picture of Aoko in a bunnygirl costume is all you're getting for Yuri in mahoyo if your goggles are strong enough

>>4391448

So apparently this year's White Day Event in JP, for whatever reason, includes a cute pairing between a little girl and an Ifreeta? Buncha fanart on Twitter already.

>>4393480
what game

>>4393491
Fuck do you mean what game?

>>4393568
Maybe anon is double checking in case Fate/Extra Record released and became a live service game when they weren't looking

>>4393593
Kek.

>>4399729

Got Tiamat with 12 tickets + 159 SQs.
But all the images I have of her with Gudako have already been posted...

Also got a Tamamo spook, so I guess now I can give a few tries whenever her summer version shows up in a banner.

>>4400420
Nice, I'm holding out because I'm going big on Draco, but I hope to have enough left over to get Tiamat as well.

Holy shit Medbanon, what is a rider-class servant doing on a mongolian basket weaving forum's yuri board? Get back to flirting with Gudako.

>>4400548
I'd like to see more Gudako and Medb stories. It doesn't even have to be yuri. I just wish there was more content out there with Medb that isn't about her being a slut or an antagonistic narcissist

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oxtKd8FodF4

New event pretty male-centric obviously, but hey, Mordred in a suit. Would love if they did a callback to this.

>>4400420
Much like with Haha (Tiamat), I had planned to use just 180SQs to try to get Draco.
But unlike Haha, Draco didn't come... so naturally, I went overboard, ending up using 336SQs before I had to stop my hand since there's still Tonelico and the Summer Fairy Knights not too far in the future...

Also, since I never got any version of Nero, I was really expecting irony to hit and get Draco as my first version of Nero, but alas...

>>4400452
Have you tried yet, if so, how did it go?

>>4400548
Unexpected post.

>>4401285
While I personally think Medb already has too much screentime compared to a lot of other Servants, As long as she isn't being
>a slut or an antagonistic narcissist
I would welcome it, appreciate even. And if she's with Skadi, being head over heels for her, even better.

>>4402137
Also, why was Kiyohi calling Vlad "uncle"? Did she actually marry Eliza?

>>4402137
Sorry to hear your rolls didn't go great, I may have drained several people's luck given I got this without even buying any additional SQ (just my stockpile from buying SQ to fuel the discounted daily summons)

>>4402506
I used all of my tickets trying to get Tiamat to no avail.
On the other hand I was intent on spending between 30 to 120 but only so long as I actually got something. First x10 roll got me Locusta, second another Locusta, third two 5* event CEs, and the last roll got me NP2 Draco.
Nothing close to NP5, but really good for 120sq.

>>4402506
Hot Damn. How opposite of my situation can you get? Also, who are you? Whenever I see someone with NP5 5* Servants, my mind goes straight to Poverty or Ginga, but I verified and you don't seen to be either of them.
All that said, congrats on getting Draco, and to her max capacity.

As for me, I guess I still have the dailies, but I'm not putting much faith on that.

>>4402525
Sorry you didn't get Haha, but congrats on also getting Draco.

>>4402913
Just some rando, IGN is Sousha, not sure I've ever posted a friend code here before or anything. And thanks, I'm a big fan of Nero as you can probably tell, so I've been saving up for a while, I started with 1202 SQ and I think around 30 tickets before I started rolling, and burned around all the tickets and around 1000 quartz all told between NP5'ing her and getting one copy of Tiamat. It does help that I got the first one on my 20th summon ticket, and two more copies in two consecutive 11 rolls, so luck definitely played a factor as well.

I'll probably try for at least one copy of all the summer servants when that rolls around, but my next big target is probably Kenshin. And after that, at the moment, I really want one copy of Ciel because of the shenanigans she allows with her and Summer BB, who I already have. And of course Hakunon, but she's FP and I've got tons of that I can burn for her. We'll see who's all come out by that point, if we get another Nero, Kiara, or Kagetora they'll be on my list, but other than that it'd probably have to be someone new.

>>4402137
I managed to get Draco in 150SQ + 20 Tickets.
In the process of which I also got 3 'shrooms, Koyanskaya's mom, and... the Gundam, weirdly enough.

Pretty solid rolls all said.

Finished, that was great. I quite like the dynamic between 3rd ascension Draco and 3rd ascension Tiamat.

Though out of curiosity, why is there so much art of 3rd asc Draco and Avenger Nobu? Is it just that they look good together, or were they in an event somewhere along the line?

>Randomly decide to check if there are new chapters translated for Salem
>4 new chapters
>"Oh Shit!"
>Go check to see if it was was 4 chapters
>There's another new one
This is great, gonna go read it after this post.
Anyways, I'm still surprised that there are still at least 20 chapters to go.

>>4402928
"Sousha", huh. Yep, you are indeed a big Nero fan. Also yes, if you never changed your IGN, then you never posted it here.
That really is some high level luck in the first 3 copies, shame that the other 2 took way more, but then again, she was your main target and you got her to NP5 so it's all good I assume.

My next main target is Tonelico, and while I'd really love to get her to NP5, I don't even know if I'll have 600SQs when get banner drops, so that'll certainly be difficult.

>>4402939
Congrats~

>Koyanskaya's mom
Also got one of her, she already spooked me twice so far.

>Gundam
Tametomo I suppose? Was he not limited?

>>4404022
I'm still at chapter 2... has been pretty hard to find the time this week...

>curiosity
The answer is number 1: "It's just that they look good together".
It's just two handsome ladies, all their fanart together were made as soon as her 3rd Ascension was revealed, so it really is just that.

>>4404301
Yeah, after I posted that I actually went ahead and spent a bit more to get a sixth copy, so I can get her all the way to 120 with all her append skills unlocked. Burned though the remainder of my free quartz, bought a refill since I was running low on paid quartz, and got her one more time 2 11 rolls in. Overall, great event, great pulls, life, at least in this small slice, is good.

>>4408064

Throwing a single paid quartz for funsies does get results sometimes. And just as I was finishing the event story, too.

Well shit.

Just lost my 700+ day login streak. Not much motivation to keep playing this game other than sunk costs.

>>4409972
But anon, Sony needs your money to fund another anime with the male mc.

>>4409989
Apparently the game doesn't want me to quit. In 50 pulls I got two Illyas (NP4), one Nitovenger (NP1), and a copy of Miyu (NP3). Also got Anastasia (NP1) via her banner while trying for the SR.

She has come long way.

On a sadder note, Ritsuka just lost all her Ruler servants because plot. They even have a scene with Janta Lily crying she lost both her sisters.

>>4411843
At least in the Ruler's case they're just sealed away until Chaldeas is defeated, with Metatron overseeing the process. And it's only 'story Rulers' in case anyone is wondering, so the likes of Latoria and Himiko are still around.

>>4411843
>>4411874
Isn't Metatron literally just another Jeanne?

>>4411843
You know what's always confused me is if a servant can change their spirit origin couldn't Jannu should become an Archer so Gudako wouldn't lose her? I never thought it was a good idea to make classes play a big role in FGO, since they change characters classes every other event.

>>4410683
Oh, remember that is Hakunon is in a legit poly relationship

>>4412116
That isn't really saying much when every character in FGO is in a poly relationship

>>4412116
>>4412123
Wasn't Hakunon's Valentine scene have her being really gay for Gudako. Don't they almost kiss too

>>4411874
>>4411843
When Musashi died and got connection lost it was effective because it was the first time. Now losing a whole class feels meaningless when you can still use and roll for them.

>>4411843
>On a sadder note, Ritsuka just lost all her Ruler servants because plot.
I think the plot being that all servants of class X have to go away is fucking stupid. Not only does it not line up with the alternative SGs they could be using, but also the Servants exist to defend the human order. The story should have been about Gudako sticking up for her Servants and proving they have a place here.
This "it can't be helped" shit isn't tragic its aggravating.

>>4412193
The difference is actually that Musashi is meant to be gone gone, while the Rulers and Avengers aren't. Which is also why I don't get people getting mad one way or another. Not like these characters constantly show up 24/7 in the stories, either.

Spambot is being annoying, let's see in how many pieces I'll have to cut this post.

Anyways,
Why does Draco call Avalon-chan "Beast of the Stars"?
Should have asked it a while back.

>>4411874
While I can understand the reason, I still don't like the separation between Main Story and Events.
(caren is totally an Event Servant tho, why is she also gone?)

>>4411875
It's Metatron using Jannu as vessel.

Guess my usual style of posting is basically banned, huh...

>>4412094
Some are saying that "having the potential to be a Ruler class is enough to be sealed", but I don't know how true that is.

>>4412193
In today's episode of "we can't commit because of the people to spent money to get these Servants":

>>4412272
>The story should have been about Gudako sticking up for her Servants and proving they have a place here.
I would have prefered that as well.

The lack of Nero/Locusta content out there is criminal

>>4412673
To me I read it as more of a story teaser, but desu I'd always kind of suspected Merlin and Avalon-chan by extension of being at least beast candidates, they do have Independent Manifestation and are half demon. In fact in some versions of the original myth Merlin got his magic because he was born as the antichrist but was baptized.

>>4412676
>It's Metatron using Jannu as vessel.
Only fair, since Jeanne uses Laeticia as a vessel in most of her forms for some reason. The real Jeanne is noted to have a smaller bust, so Metatron is using the real Jeanne as a vessel. Still, seeing the lazy gamer girl form just makes me think Jeanne anyway.

>>4412683
>Some are saying that "having the potential to be a Ruler class is enough to be sealed", but I don't know how true that is.
It is. Notice that Martha is sealed, who us canonically able to become a Ruler despite that form being a lol seasonal variant

>>4412736
I know right?
Even Xu Fu gets some art with Yu despite being in the situation she is. At least Nero/Draco appreciates Locusta, so she has more reason to have art together...

>>4412759
Thanks for the insight. That's pretty interesting, but somehow I feel like this is one of those things they'll never address.

>>4412810
>Laeticia
To be fair, their appearance is basically the same, this "Laeticia" just got to live longer (and considering Jannu's . . . humble beginnings, the nutrient intake was probably less than optimal).

>Still, seeing the lazy gamer girl form just makes me think Jeanne anyway.
https://youtu.be/qc95YgbiFH8?feature=shared

>Martha
Yeah, that's the point I have seen used as example.

Apparently Mash/Lilith toxic yuri is taking off in some circles?

>>4413023
Now Mash has a toxic yuri ship, too. Our kohai really has grown, hasn't she?

>>4413023
Haven't seen any example so far, but I have pic related instead.

>>4413277
"too"?

>>4413023
>>4413277
>>4413750
I'm confused who's Lilith? I've seen a couple of fanart with her. Does she like Mash or something?

>>4413764
Lilith as in the biblical Lilith. First wife of Adam , etc. etc

She basically gets a massive hateon for Mash and antagonize her to the point the Mash even admits she would want her dead. Her learning to hate Lilith, is actually one of the reasons she was able to defy the Servant System and make up the Paladin class.

>>4413823
I do so love that thin line between love and hate...

>>4413750
Let's not pretend some of Gudako's ships aren't highly toxic.

>>4413973
Oh, I know. I was just fishing in hopes to see which ship(s) you were going to mention.

>>4413823
That feels like they just needed a reason to make Mash relevant again. Sounds pretty dumb to me. All these religious servants yet Mash is the one that hates her makes no sense to me. Mash the same person that felt sympathy for a serial killer. Even crazier is the fact that a new Jeanne was right there.

>>4413973
I honestly can't name 1 toxic yuri ship with Gudako outside Vitch. All the others might be a tad yandere but not really toxic.

>>4413750
Seen more people talk about her and Mash, but more fanart with Gudako.

Which is preferable to the alternative at least.

It's crazy how after all these years Morgan and Castoria are the only 2 servants to still get consistent art with Gudako

Haven't been keeping tabs with the fate franchise in years. Is there actual yuri in it now?

>>4414234
There's more art of her with Gudako other than the one I posted?
Please do share you can.

>Which is preferable to the alternative at least.
Definitely.

>>4414252
Honestly I feel that's kinda sad. Not saying I don't appreciate Gudako with Morgan or Castoria, I very much do,but I can't help but wish every pairing had as much art as they get (or the levels of Gudako with Melt or Salter and Jalter back in the day).

>>4414255
No.
Come back after EXTRA Record's release and the answer may change.

>>4414267
The issue is Gudako doesn't really connect with newer Servants like she did with older ones. Since Morgan's release there's really only been Hakunon that I've seen people ship with Gudako.

>>4414677
I'd argue that there's also hardly been any content after Morgan's release that weren't a) one off events or b) dudes.

>>4414677
And that, is sad.

>>4414714
Hm... from the top of my head:
>Koen Shaku (Huyan Zhuo)
>Teno
>Draco
>Durga/Kali
>Space!Eresh
>BB!DCG
>Louhi
>Mrs. Snake
These are the more decently popular "post-Avalon" Servants (specially Teno), but despite having 100+ fanarts, it's mostly solo (or blacklisted), with next to nothing in regards of yuri, with Gudako or otherwise... pitiful, really...

>>4414788
If/When Snake becomes a servant art with her and Gudako will definitely be in abundance. She already has a good amount in her limited screen time.

>>4414267
Here's 1 I found. You'd think being the 1st wife of Adam, the first Man, would lead into some interesting intentions with her and Gudako. Gudako being the savior of humanity and the one that's got to keep it from extinction could've played off Lilith being one of the first humans in existence. Not sure what their interactions are like but if they don't touch on that it'd be nig missed opportunity.

I hate how Gudako's servants never try to help her mentally. Forget just Kiara there's many saints and even villains amongst her servants. You'd think Vlad, Nero, or Elly would comfort Gudako in the mass genocide she's committed, since they have also killed loads of people when they were alive. You'd think Artoria or Nito would comfort Gudako in being able to step into a role she clearly wasn't ready for based off their past experiences. FGO spends so much time with Gudako helping her servants they forget to have them help her as well.

>>4415053
They do care though. Did you not play through Kama's Interlude?

>>4415053
Lilith is for Mash, you sluts. Mash being a sort of 'Adam' certainly helps.

I gotta say, I'm kind of putting on the goggles for a toxic poly Lilith x Gudako x Mash situation. Might not last when I actually read the translation and see what things are like between Lilith and Mash, there's a fine line between hatefucking-compatible hate and hatefucking-incompatible hate, but the idea has potential.

>>4415053
>>4415112
Some translations: https://twitter.com/KChaos20/status/1920124607115206748
I'd say it's pretty "hatefucking-compatible."

Lilith professes a suicidal degree of love for Gudako, and contests herself alongside the likes of Morgan and Melusine. And while she seems sincere, her profile notes just the opposite. Is it purely for the sake of "Oh, Master has melted another hot evil Servant's heart"-waifuism? Or is her sincerity taken from somewhere else? Mash is the game's most blatant pseudo-romantic interest, and while Lilith's love is said to be a facade, her hate is real to the point of redefining her very existence. So perhaps instead, the sincerity of her love for Gudako is rooted in the sincerity of her hatred for Mash? Coming to truly love what she does, to further foster that animosity between them? And from there you can further twist the blurred line of love and hate even further...

So yeah, Gudako/Mash/Lilith Toxic Yuri real, imo

Pic related is inspired by a photo of two students who got in a fight and as punishment were "forced" to hold hands for an hour.

>>4415053
>Snake
Big "if".

>Lilith
You just reminded me of that joke back in Summer1 with Shishou talking about repopulating the world.

>>4415053
>I hate how Gudako's servants never try to help her mentally.
I blame the lack of Interludes and the fact that we only have 5 Bond Lines for the entire relationship.

>>4415073
>Kama
OC1 starts tomorrow (iirc) and I have yet to finish LB7...

>>4415193
Yep, still hate the spambot.

>>4415091
Call me what you will, but I'm ready to accept both ships, or, as the post below yours brings up, all 3 together.

>>4415112
>>4415146
Can't say I'm very fond of toxic ships, but I'm ready to change my mind.

Anyways:
https://youtu.be/THfWNoogR_M?feature=shared
https://youtu.be/Mo5UI_TVVLY?feature=shared

>>4415194
She actually gets a new defeat line at bond 5 to reflect her 'promise'.

>>4415073
I did. 1 servant's interlude doesn't really make up for to dozens of other servants not doing the same in the main story.

>>4415091
Lilith isn't for anyone because Mash is Senpaisexual. Mash would only acknowledge Lilith is Gudako's cuck fetish started flaring up.

>>4415146
The issue is Lilith's personality doesn't really stan out in the sea of servants. How's this any different from a poly ship of Gudako/Shuten/Raikou? I don't really find Lilith that interesting.

>>4415341
Lilith and Mash unironically hating each other is the thing that's unique amongst all servants. It gives more food for art fighting over Gudako.

>>4415358
Mash hating anyone just feels forced. After all that's happened to her Mash all of a sudden hating this new servant makes no sense. Even if you were gonna make a character that Mash hates it shouldn't be a servant that won't be a consistently appearing character. It just feels like a waste then, since for a majority of the story her hatred won't matter because we won't be seeing Lilith. I still feel like Lilith hating a religious servant like Jeanne would've made more sense to me.

>>4415399
Yeah, sure. Let's suck off Jeanne even more. Lilith is also Galahad's servant. That probably also has something to do with it.

>>4415455
>let's suck off Jeanne even more
You're making it sound like Lilith likes Mata Hari or something. There's no one FGO sucks off more than Mash. I only mentioned Jeanne because she's a religious figure. Mash just doesn't fit her character to hate anyone, especially when that hate just leads to said servant liking Gudako. It just feels convoluted to me.

>>4415459
Lilith probably doesn't really care for Christians at all. She precedes the faith the likes of Jeanne have.

Okay this shit is gold
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nAKKNFQd9gU

>>4415516
I could've give a shit. She's such a nothing character. She'll probably be forgotten in like 2 months

Man FGO is still ongoing. With its outdated gameplay, storytelling, UI, and greedy gacha you'd think this game would be dead by now. I'm guessing the Japs love the brand too much to let it go. I would've thought the money they made from FGO would've allowed them to make a better and more updated version of the game.

>>4415519
I bet you said the same when Morgan came along

>>4415225
Unexpected.

>>4415237
And here's the lines in question:
https://youtu.be/VuNi_TMV0fs?feature=shared

>>4415399
>Mash hating anyone just feels forced.
I'll judge that when the time comes.

>It just feels like a waste then, since for a majority of the story her hatred won't matter because we won't be seeing Lilith.
I'll give you this point tho. Very true.

>>4415529
To be fair, aren't we here as well? Especially considering that the type of relationship we want just doesn't happen here (outside of some crumbs I guess).
Either way, I have been holding this hope for years that, once the gacha is over, they'll make a proper game out of it. . . I don't expect it to happen, obviously, but it would be nice if it did (but considering how long it's taking to make EXTRA Record, how long would it take to make a proper FGO game?).

>>4415519

And then you have people complain how boring and stale Mash is. You niggas really can't make up your minds one way or another.

>>4415837
Anon the game is 10 years old. It's well past being boring and stale.

>>4415539
Wasn't there a bunch a people pissed off Morgan wasn't into Artoria and angry she looked just like her?

>>4415947
Yes. Despite her being THE Takeuchi Saberface that actually makes sense. Can't please this fandom at all.

>>4416051
It's an updated game that makes millions with a crappy rate up system. You can't please everyone but let's not act like the game isn't to blame with some people's issues. That's just being ignorant

>>4416113
The game's system being shoddy =/= people complaining about a character

>>4416115
You said pleasing in general. Do you even read your own posts?

>>4416172
You know that I meant that in regards to characters. This convo started because some retard said that Mash hating someone is forced. So stop being obtuse.

>>4415539
>>4415837
>>4416051
>>4416115
The irony of these posts is while saying all people in the fandom do is complain and not make up their minds you're complaining while engaging with members of the fandom. This is a real pot calling the kettle black moment.

>>4416190
Why do you care what people think? Now who's the one complaining just for the sake of it again? Again stop being so ignorant.

>>4415541
Hoyo made a proper FGO game with HSR. Hell they made the game so well they're putting Archer and Saber into the game.

>>4416213
When I say "proper", at least part of it means "not a gacha", so I won't acknowledge that.
Yes, I realize that I just did one of those
>Asks for thing
>Someone gives example of thing
>"No, that doesn't count"
Moments, but still...
Also, I don't know how HSR plays, but what I would want from a proper FGO game is something along the lines of:
>Gameplay that doesn't rely on NP spam (really, unless it's a support NP, they should be a trump card)
>Get new Servants through story progression
>While in Chaldea, can see all the Servants walking around and interacting with each other
>Expand the Bond system to be more than 5 lines of dialogue, maybe connect them with Interludes
>On that note, more interludes for each Servant
>Have the ability to choose the Servant(s) you want to take to any particular mission and the dialogue have some changes depending on who you choose
>New Game Plus, allowing the player to use the Max Bond item of a Servant to summon them earlier and use them from the beginning
>Optional: Game Difficult based on the Servants you choose to bring (like, Mata Hari being "Very Hard" and Space Ishtar being pretty much "press A to win")
Etc, etc.

>>4415947
Also, forgot to reply to this, but:
I can't say anything about the general people, but at the very least, there was that one artist that was so disappointed they never drew Morgan again after her reveal in FGO.

>>4416702
Thanks for the response. The question was more of a rhetorical one to show anon that people being upset at something in FGO isnt some new and foreign thing. Shame that person stopped drawing her though. Their art is really good

>>4417985

>>4417986

>>4417987

>>4417988

Why none of you have ever told me how much of a pain it is to be in QP Hell?

Anyway, my latest importation batch finally arrived. The doujins first, and my mangas about 2 weeks later.
Also, an Anon mentioned to me Noppin since it's the one they use, but turned out they don't send to my country (the disadvantages of living in a shithole), so then I had to find another proxy service that does send here. My second choice was Buyee, since it's one that both Toranoana and MelonBooks recommend, I look up to confirm they ship to here, make an account and... They don't ship R18 (what's even the point then?)... Then there was a third one, that had some problem as well, was probably Tenso, but either way, also didn't work out. Then finally, I reached Japan Rabbit, and finally got my doujins (one of the ones I wanted to buy got sold out in the meanwhile and I kinda wish I had more to buy so it would probably be more cost effective, but oh well, at least I got them).
That's it, thank you for reading my rambling.

>>4417985
Reward hug. I like this one.

>>4418216

Oh no, wait, there's one more, for the fans of Salem such as myself:
Lavinia as a Servant when?!

>>4418219
Thank you anon. I wish other people loved Molay as much as Birdhatter does

>>4418216
Really glad I got the Molay doujin too; shame I missed out on that Morgan one. Also as an aside, I like that ReDrop consistently uses Gudako in their artwork too.

>>4418232
>Lavinia as a Servant when?!
>That design
GODDAMN I ASK MYSELF ALL THE FUCKING TIME

>>4418319
If I recall Redrop uses Gudako in game as well

>>4418254
Indeed.
I also hope that even after releasing this doujin, Birdhatter will keep drawing Molay.

>>4418319
>I like that ReDrop consistently uses Gudako in their artwork too.
I wouldn't call it "consistently", but I do like the frequency. Shame that in these artbooks there's also plenty of gudao. . . to the point it makes me wonder if it's due to some Lasagna rule.

>Lavinia
People thought the Foreigner OC would happen before the Ruler one, now I wonder if it'll really happen (and if there'll be any chances of Lavinia showing up then).

>>4418327
That's correct.

My dear folks, as some of you may know, MangaDex got stricken by the copyright hammer (which had them delete 1300+ mangas and counting), so now Salem only has the latest (translated) volume, and Shimosa is completely gone...
I have been using WeebCentral for mangas I couldn't read on MangaDex, however, it's missing the latest 9 chapters of Shimosa (it has 34 of currently 43), and doesn't have Salem at all, so if anyone has any other alternative, please let me know so I can list them in the next OP.

>>4419828

>>4420401

I have to say, I kind of like the vibe of OC1 Sakura and Medusa more than I did in F/SN (though a fair amount of it is probably the lack of the F/SN MC).

>Grand Saber Musashi is the trial battle to unlock the Grand Saber upgrade
Noice

>>4422247
Speaking of, who are you folks upgrading to Grand Saber when the time comes? What about the other classes?

>>4422448
Okita is gonna be my Grand Saber. Otherwise, I only have a Grand Basaka candidate with Morgan. The others, I don't really have any planned.

>>4422448
Right now my plan is:
Grand Saber: Okitan
Grand Archer: Chloe
Grand Lancer: Ereshkigal
Grand Rider: Reines
Grand Caster: Artoria
Grand Assassin: Shuten
Grand Berserker: Artoria or Morgan (Depends how my rolls this summer go)
And then presuming the greyed out symbols on the info graphics are implying we'll get to pick 2 Grand Extras, I'm intending to go with Meltryllis and Clytie.

>>4422448
If I don't get Saber Medusa, probably Gareth
Not sure about archer
Lancer Medusa
Reines
If I don't get Aesc, Helena
Kama
If I don't get Castoria Zerker, then Morgan.

>>4422461
The trailer for the new art as well as the Grand system kinda implied we might be getting more than the standard 7 for Grands.

>>4422448
Grand Saber: Nero Bride
Grand Archer: Uncertain, maybe Zenobia
Grand Lancer: Kagetora
Grand Rider: Uncertain, maybe Summer Suzuka
Grand Caster: Nero Summer
Grand Assassin: Uncertain, maybe Huyan Zhuo
Grand Berserker: Likely Morgan

And if we do get extra classes
Ruler: Kenshin
Avenger: Probably either Space Ishtar or Kagekiyo
Moon Cancer: Hakunon, though that's really hard, I'd love to do both Hakunon and Summer Kiara
Alter Ego: Kiara
Foreigner: Maybe Tenochtitlan.
Pretender:

>>4422604
Based Hakunon enjoyer! But I like most of your list of your grand-plans!

But Tenochtitlan is not a foreigner. Only as Pretender or Moon Cancer!

>>4422702
Oh, I wrote over my Foreigner choice instead of putting it on Pretender. I'll likely go Hokusai for Foreigner, and maybe Tenochtitlan for Pretender.

And I left out Beast by accident, and it's not hard to guess which one that will be given I have an NP5 Draco currently at level 116 and just waiting on servant coins from bond to get to 120.

>>4422724
Ahh I see, though I will assume that they will likely go with the Extra I and Extra II for the extra-classes instead of individually. If that is the case I will go with Hakunon (that I will grail to 120 as soon as humanly possible) for Extra I and (my level 118, soon to be 120) Meltryllis for Extra II.

>>4422453
>>4422461
>>4422468
>>4422604
Great picks all around, the only surprise really for me was Chloe (not bad, just unexpected).

As for me, I'm still undecided on two of them, but the plan so far is:
Grand Saber = Ibuki
Grand Archer = ???
Grand Lancer = Melusine
Grand Assassin = Kama
Grand Rider = ???
Grand Caster = Tonelico
Grand Berserker = Morgan
And when we inevitably get Grands for the Extra Classes:
Ruler = Himiko
Avenger = Ashtoreth
Moon Cancer = Summer!BB (maybe when OC3 gets here I'll change my mind, but for now I would really rather make the one with Nyarla's power the Grand)
Alter Ego = Haha
Foreigner = Abby
Pretender = ???
And in the remote chance we manage to get Grand BEAST, that will be Eresh.

Also, just like >>4422863 mentioned, in case it's only 2 Extras, which are usually divided in (Ruler/Avenger/MoonCancer) and (AlterEgo/Foreigner/Pretender), then the picks would be Ashtoreth and Abby.

>>4422992
If I had to pick one for each class and if we disregarding what I said here >>4422863 about just having two extra class I would pick:

Grand Saber: Nero Bride
Grand Archer: Zenobia
Grand Lancer: Summer Tamamo or Summer Melt
Grand Rider: Ushiwaka
Grand Assassin: ?
Grand Caster: Queen of Sheba
Grand Berserker: Kreimhild

Grand Ruler: Kenshin (If I will get her)
Grand Avenger: Spishtar
Grand Alter Ego: Meltlilith
Grand Moon Cancer: Hakunon
Grand Foreigner: Hokusai
Grand Pretender: Tlaloc

>>4423535

>>4423536

I do find it kind of amusing that one of the better supports for Draco for higher difficulty quests is Tamamo, it's kind of like an Extra reunion. 50% Arts buff, of course, but also cancels out the demerit that increases enemy charge, and in that setting the cooldown reduction is super valuable for Draco, given the way her skills interlock, plus extra gauge to make it even easier to loop her NP, which conversely makes it easier to arts chain for Tamamo and the third servant since Draco keeps spamming her Arts NP.

The best part is, while Castoria's as always a good pick for obvious reasons, if you don't need hard defense, Hakunon is actually a good pick for both flavor and mechanics, with Tamamo's NP routinely giving her 30% NP gauge to use on reshuffling cards to ensure that even on turns where Tamamo's NP isn't up, you can fish for an Arts chain with both Draco's arts card and at least one of Tamamo's, which nearly guarantees another Draco NP next turn and is probably all you need for Tamamo's NP to be up too.

>>4423343
Now your picks for Caster and Berserker really are surprising, very.

>>4423537
You don't need to remind me that to this day I still couldn't get Melt...
Joking, you can keep reminding me.

>>4424134
Well, I got Tamamo recently, and shouldn't have any problem getting Hakunon, so then I'll only need to Draco to come...
Btw, did they announce a release date for EXTRA Record, or am I remembering wrong?

>>4424448
Sadly, you can pick Draco as one of the 9 options for the custom GSSR and hope to get lucky, but after that your next chance for her isn't until next year, so far as I know.
As for Extra Record, no, just some time in 2025.

>>4424491
Yeah... I'm aware of how rarer Draco is than the rest since she doesn't show up on the normal GSSR, hence why I used almost double the SQs I had originally separated for her when trying to get her... But unfortunately, I couldn't go all in since there's Tonelico and the Summer Fairy Knights for me to try to get.
That said, unlike this year, during the rerun next year I'll have more of a leeway to save for her, since until Space Eresh (and most of the Summer/OC3 Servants soon after), there aren't any other Servants I want besides Draco (that I can think of right now... I only remember the Valentine's lady that I won't care, and the two girls from that spin-off manga, which I do care, but not sure how much).

>>4424448
I am well aware that Queen of Sheba is a very unusual choice, but I think she deserves some huge buffs for her NP and some increased numbers on some of her skills. But generally I like her and I rather use it on a DPS than a support like Castoria. And I do like Sheba more anyway.

Kreimhilds design is enough for me to do that and she is really strong.

I know these are unusual and they are not meta (especially Sheba) but I love them and is that not what it is all about?

Do you guys thinks Saraswati/Benzaiten will somehow be another Sakuraface?

Habetrot

Never really noticed the ship being canon, now that I do, I find it extremely accurate

>>4425508
Oh no, I was just taken aback a little, but I also like Sheba, her design, her caring about Abby even if it's just a remnant of her role in Salem, and especially her money hungry personality always looking for business opportunities.

Now, Kriemhild, on one hand, I also like her design, and I think her VA did a phenomenal job. However, every other word from her being about Sumanai-kun also does a great job at making me care for her less.

>but I love them and is that not what it is all about?
You're absolutely right.

>>4425550
Well, assuming we'll get them eventually:
>Saraswati
Considering that 3 of the 7 female indian Servants are Sakurafaces, I'd say the chances are pretty high.

>Benzaiten
This one I see no reason to be however.

>>4425658
Shame about the remaining content from this artist...

>>4425941
>>4421870
Hold these thoughts, I'm still late, the lack of time is so real that it took me 4 days to beat ORT, but I'll get there.

>>4426308
That's the whole Hindu>Japanese Buddhist syncretism thing, Saraswati and Benzaiten are quite likely to be the same person, in the same way that Raikou and Arjuna are sometimes portrayed as pseudo familial, as Gozu Tennou was an incarnation of Indra.

Don't fear, I just have to say that they really went all out on the internal thoughts of Medusa towards her

I'm posting the full images, but honestly, the size is barely different.

I wonder how would Gudako and Protea kiss without it becoming accidental vore. Is that why most images has Gudako kiss her cheek

So... I finally (finally) finished LB7 (and did some other quests, but didn't start OC1 yet, will start after this post), and I have some thoughts:
>1. After defeating ORT, then it summoning itself as a Servant and we defeating it again, was it really necessary to have another ORT showing up? What if we just defeated it again even without Kuku, would it just rinse and repeat infinitely?;
>2. Off-topic but, in the past 2 anniversaries, I have seen people wishing for Camazotz as the anniversary Servant, and I fail to see why people liked him so much (but then again, he attacked Protea, so from that point on, it was basically impossible for me to like him);
>3. I'm still mad that Eresh and Protea didn't get the same treatment as Nito, and Beni didn't get anything at all (to be honest, I would be happy with an animation update for Eresh, but Protea's alter, as I said many times, don't match with Protea's animations, so she definitely need to be a separate unit);
>4. "My rebellious daughter is so reliable" crossed my mind a few times when Protea alter was doing her thing.
That's it. Lies, there was probably more, but I already forgot.

>>4426321
I see, hence the slash. I really should have put 2 and 2 together, but yeah, thank you for the insight.

>>4426516
I'll be looking forward to it.

>>4428279
Yeah, unfortunately for Protea, Gudako would have to be the one to always take the lead.
Part of me also wants to just say "very carefully", but what do I know, maybe I should read some "Size Gap" doujins. . . for science.

>>4428372
Also, before I'm misunderstood, I'm still happy for Nito (tho I guess I should be sad, due to what she had to do to become an Alter) and salty that I already failed twice to get her Alter, and speaking of Nito, it was already pretty evident by comparing her first 3 Anscensions and the last, but couldn't not notice it again during a certain CG: The inconsistency of Nito's breast size.

>>4428372
>>1. After defeating ORT, then it summoning itself as a Servant and we defeating it again, was it really necessary to have another ORT showing up? What if we just defeated it again even without Kuku, would it just rinse and repeat infinitely?

Yes. ORT figuratively "hacked" the Servant system and could summon infinite alternate versions of itself using the entire forest of Phantasy Trees as alternate realities. Kuku essentially sacrificed herself to wipe out the Lostbelt forests and denying ORT its alternate dimensions.

ORT is canonically unbeatable in Earth. It has a counter to anything Type-Earth, Alaya and the Counter-force can toss at it. Its like fighting an online PVP match and your opponent is brazenly using cheat codes and you can't do anything about it. And that was the "weaker" Lostbelt version, we can only imagine what the actual one can do.

>>2. Off-topic but, in the past 2 anniversaries, I have seen people wishing for Camazotz as the anniversary Servant, and I fail to see why people liked him so much (but then again, he attacked Protea, so from that point on, it was basically impossible for me to like him);

Many find him sympathetic. He sacrificed all of humanity in order to become a Beast to "beat" ORT and went mad at the aftermath. And since ORT is unbeatable, he was only able to put it to sleep for several millennia, which is the best he could achieve all things considered.

>>3. I'm still mad that Eresh and Protea didn't get the same treatment as Nito, and Beni didn't get anything at all (to be honest, I would be happy with an animation update for Eresh, but Protea's alter, as I said many times, don't match with Protea's animations, so she definitely need to be a separate unit);

Wait next year and we will get plenty of Eresh and KP Alter in OC3. Beni gets nothing though.

Please do take your time to read it

This is too cute

Man, reading ordeal 1 Medusa vent her true feelings towards Sakura was a treat

>>4431512

Rare threesome

>>4431950
Look at this ancient loser lesbo. I hope we get more content with Iyo and Himiko.

>Hold these thoughts, I'm still late, the lack of time is so real that it took me 4 days to beat ORT, but I'll get there.
Finally finished Paper Moon and I gotta say, two years ago, for some reason I was ready to dismiss Saber!Medusa as uninteresting (which's weird since I like Gorgon and Mini Medusa more than the OG, so there was really no reason for that), but now I'm even inclined to throw some SQs at her despite Tonelico and Summer Fairy Knights being not too far in the future. Even if rather brief, I quite liked her relationship with AI!Sakura, especially the fact that she intinctively knew that the would fall in love with her given the chance.
Some more thoughts:
>Young Sion is cute, I wonder what will be that occasion that will need a outsider instead of a friend that makes her keep her distance...;
>Rani R is the cutest of the R.A.N.I series;
>It's very unfortunate how Durga/Kali was very Shiva centered (and even more how I wasted 180SQs trying and failing to get her);
>I very much hate how they made Gudako forget all that happened... preventing her from giving Kama her reward, even if it was going to be just head pats or a hug. . . and maybe properly scolding her for sacrificing herself instead of giving a vague scolding.
All in all, I really enjoyed Paper Moon, even if I have no idea on how it fixed the Alter Egos issue, considering that what Gudako learned is now just a vague sensation, and we didn't have to part with our Alter Egos, unlike what will happen with Avengers and Rulers.
Either way, after these posts, I'll be able to start the new Event.

Now to some replies:
>ORT
I see. Since Trismegistus II says "ORT summoning is imminent", but then changes to "ORT's arrival is imminent", it lead me to think it was another ORT (be it another version, parallel or anything else), but I guess it was still it summoning itself.

>Eresh and Protea Alter
No animation updates tho, but yeah, I'm looking forward to OC3.

>>4428605
I appreciate the consideration. It's nice to be up-to-date again.

>>4430651
Certainly.
Unfortunately, this artist has some vore images, but aside from that, I'm really loving their recent art.

>>4431222
Cute. Just one more Olga, probably wind, and we might get her back.

Indeed.
Also, forgot to say on the first post, but I'm kinda sad that artists don't draw AI!Sakura with her eternal blush...

>>4431950
It sucks to be one of the only people that like Himiko and Iyo...

>>4432726
So rare that it probably didn't exist so far.

>>4432804
I approve.

Can't believe a post as small as the previous one was flagged as spam... and now I have to make a 4th post, only to include the last reply:

You and me both.

Honestly, kinda new to the Sakura x Medusa ship but I now feel like they're made for each other


I spent my time reading some vanilla fics on ao3

>>4433164
The fact that AI Sakura exists is pain enough for the story

>>4433262
Yeah, Locusta being a freakazoid doesn't surprise me one bit.

>>4433256
What a coincidence, despite not being much of a fanfic reader nowadays, I'm also reading some fics on AO3, tho they're not Fate related.

>>4433262
She'll turn Serenity into a mushroom.

>>4433553
What do you mean?

We stayed on Page10 for quite some time, and honestly, this thread still may endure for days or even weeks (is /u/ slower than normal?), but with only 6 threads below us, to avoid surprises, I already made the new one.
Here we go: >>4434522

>>4434524
I usually just daydream the fics in my head but reading is also fun

And also yeah sakura ai is a pain for Medusa to witness cuz she is destined to die again

Everyday I thank the poster who compiled these doujins
