* Andromeda's myth is one of the original ChainedToARock stories... except none of the people who recorded the myth bothered to give either the chains or the rock any details such as size, shape, or general location. Andromeda's answer to these questions is ''"AllOfThem"'', making up the crux of her skillset such as having an endless number of rocks as flails and projectiles, using her chains to swing or even fly through the air, and even summoning the sea monster that tried to eat her as a ''PowerUpMount'' because it was TakenForGranite in her myth. What makes it especially funny is that you'd expect this level of lore abuse to come from gag characters like Nobunaga or Mysterious Heroine X, but no, Andromeda is a completely legit Servant within the Nasuverse's rules.

* Avicebron's interlude is a fighting contest pitting robotic Noble Phantasms against each other. The contestants are Avicebron, Babbage, Fran, Europa, Mecha Eli-chan Mk. II, Odysseus... and [[TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers Hessian Lobo and Nursery Rhyme]].

*** The reason Mordred is here is to prove that she deserves to be the king of Britain. Altria's response? Host an interview with her as the reportee. Mordred immediately crumbles upon realizing that her father has a show and thinks that she should have asked Agravain to record it, only to second-guess when she realised that he would ask her for money. The interviewees? A KangarooCourt of Saber-faces (again). Saber Alter says that Mordred being king of Britain is the equivalent of getting a ''Triceratops to do farm work''. Mysterious Heroine X still hates all Sabers equally. But when it comes to Saber Lily, she states that [[TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers as long as the person works hard she can be a good king.]] Mordred is caught so completely by surprise by Lily's cuteness that she collapses and has to be lugged away by Bedivere. Finally, she proceeds to have rambling thoughts about how Saber Lily is an angel, forgetting that since this is a Drama CD, all of her thoughts are said out loud.

* Despite the noted similiarities between Yamato Takeru and Altria, Mysterious Heroine X declares in the former's profile that she'll give them a pass and not count them as a Saberface even if the IdiotHair was a close call. This is the sole reason Yamato Takeru does not actually have the Saberface trait in gameplay.

* With the Christmas 2023 event announced, a preview of this year's [[https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GBDxfWQbUAAe5zg?format=jpg&name=orig Santa Servant]] was released, with the inevitable discussions on who it might be. Well, at least [[Characters/FateGrandOrderOberon one other Servant]] has taken a crack at it [[https://x.com/CHICAUMINO/status/1734219966881440080?s=20 by drawing his speculation]]: [[https://x.com/CHICAUMINO/status/1734223633474806265?s=20 Santa Don Quixote]]. To be fair, the entry requirement this year was clearing Traum, which marked Don Quixote's debut.

** Later a redraw was uploaded because [[https://x.com/CHICAUMINO/status/1734224449807716442?s=20 Blanca thought it didn't really look like Don Quixote at all]]. The thought of ''Blanca'' of all people (or moths probably) being an art critic is hilarious in itself.

* More fun with Chloe and Hiroyama. Avenger Chloe is taking the role of a manga editor with an obsession with meeting deadlines... while Hiroyama has had a bad case of ScheduleSlip for ''[[Manga/FateKaleidLinerPrismaIllya Chloe's own source manga]]''. Not only did this get doubly ironic when Hiroyama had little time to play the [=FGO=] event featuring his own character due to said Slip, it got ''triply'' ironic when he first tried summoning her. In a classic example of the Monkey's Paw, [[https://twitter.com/hiroshi_/status/1690004932789686274 he spent enough Saint Quartz to get SIX Berserker Altria Casters, but only ended up with ONE Avenger Chloe]] (and bare in mind that Chloe is the ''more'' common summon of the two). And when he ''did'' finally get her to [=NP5=], it later turned out that August was the month where ''PRISMA☆ILLYA'' resumed a regular update schedule. [[TheFourthWallWillNotProtectYou Yes, Hiroyama's own fictional character punished AND rewarded him.]] It's just so ridiculous that you have to wonder if Nasu was pulling levers behind the scenes.

** The Altria clones all have the same pose and expression including [[CloningBlues Mordred]] and [[PaperThinDisguise Mysterious Heroine X]].

* During the interview for the game's 8th anniversary, Nasu goes on record stating that Sodom's Beast/Draco is a special snowflake in that she's the only Beast '''[[InsistentTerminology from Pan Human History]]''' that can stay a Beast when summoned. The interviewer makes a cautious warning about how loaded that statement is... and Nasu responds by ''purposely drawing attention to the keyword''. [[{{Foreshadowing}} The man knows EXACTLY what he's doing...]]

* Speaking of Oberon and Summer, his "Robin Goodfellow" form has swapped the winter prince espionage outfit for... a striped swimsuit similar to those worn in classic cartoons, pink arm floaties and a super cute duck floaty ring that even has lace and BlushStickers. It's ridiculous as is adorable, and [[https://twitter.com/Ykusu05/status/1690023255472484353 must be seen to be believed]].

** Tam Lin Gawain believes Ibuki-Douji is the Saber of Sabers... due to looking better in vertical striped sweaters "then the seedy King of Knights" [[BoobsOfSteel for obvious reasons]]. Incidentally a holy sword is thrown at her.

** Next up on the list, Chloe wants to try her luck on a Saber (preferably a certain king) or a Berserker, only to get [[BoobsOfSteel Nightingale]]. Chloe expresses annoyance in that she was dropping hints for Altria or Altera to show up and tries to walk away, but the protagonist eggs her on to Mash's disbelief. After the epic battle (which could have taken up three manga volumes if adapted), Chloe wins but once again tries to walk away from the defeated Nightingale, only for the protagonist ''and'' Mash to tell her to just kiss her already so this all didn't go to waste. Suddenly, Nightnigale regains consciousness after being kissed to the surprise of everyone else, suddenly manhandling Chloe saying that she ''[[SkewedPriorities did CPR incorrectly]]''. She then proceeds to do CPR on Chloe... [[https://www.reddit.com/r/grandorder/comments/6w21ii/kuros_interlude_nightingale_does_cpr_o_o/ her style.]]
