All-Purpose Nasuverse Fanfiction Thread

Alright, I altered that to "possibly respect". I think at the very least Gil would be intrigued and amused by Rose and her rebellion, and aided her to get the Diamond Authority off his damn lawn so they don't turn his planet into an inhospitable hollow rock, rather than any other reason.

And yes, many magi would probably be more interested in making Gems into test subjects, but would leave the Crystal Gems alone knowing what Rose is capable of and out of respect for, you know, the Crystal Gems saving the planet. Rin and Luvia are obviously more ethical.

If that were the case, he'd kick them out of Earth himself. Gilgamesh is a lazy jackass on top of everything else, but he considers the world his garden, and it's very likely that any invading alien force would receive the full brunt of his anger for daring to invade it.

If he knew they were there, anyway. Like I said, lazy jackass, probably won't go out to check.

Given what we've seen of the battlefields and what we've heard about it, ignoring the Gem War would be pretty damn hard, if not impossible.

Well this is just coming out of nowhere, but we do know that Rose has had a few flings with mortals over the millennia. What are the odds that Enkidu was one of them?

Gilgamesh is Gilgamesh. It's kind of hard to see things since his giant ego blocks his sight.

Tiny to nonexistent. Enkidu didn't live very long and he likely spent 99% of that time with Gilgamesh murdering shit.

Wait, Gilgamesh respects Waver?

Mind explaining? I haven't watched Zero yet.

Sort of.

The following contains spoilers. Read at your own risk.

Immediately after showing his most powerful weapon to Iskander out of sheer respect and killing him with it, Gilgamesh is walking towards Waver and makes it very clear that standing his ground here basically means he's gonna die.

When told to run, Waver basically says that he'll stand his ground and make his King proud. Gilgamesh walks by him without murdering him and commends him on his loyalty before fucking off in Astral Form. That's as close as Gilgamesh gets to patting Waver on the head and telling him "you're gonna go far kid".

Well he respected Iskander. Right after his golden ass killed Iskander he asked the master (Waver) if he wasn't going to try and avenge his king (Iskander). Waver said he could not because doing something so worthy of a Darwin Award would go against Broskander's order to live.

'ed with more details to boot.

Thought: would "traditional" Magi (like Kayneth or Tokiomi) still think that professional wrestling is real, as was the case for most of the world pre-Montreal Screwjob?

Not that most of them would pay any real attention to it long-term, but I'm speaking in terms of vague, peripheral awareness.

Presumably, yes.

I can totally see traditional magi thinking it's honest to goodness bloodsport.

Hell, I can also see the Wizards from Harry Potter thinking its real, for that matter.

...The best I can think is, "Oh, Gladiator Games still exist today. How barbaric."

GAH!

Oh, there's no doubt in my mind at all that the HP!verse Wizards would believe it's real. Hell, I can see Ron swearing up and down, "by Merlin's soggy left -"

<Hermione scowls disapprovingly>

...that The Undertaker REALLY IS a gravedigging zombie man with electrical powers and who can chokeslam people so hard they're sent straight to Hell.

To be fair, these days I'm not sure the Undertaker isn't really a zombie.

To keep things kinda Nasu-centric, I had the idea the other day of an Apocrypha-esque war where all the Servants are pro wrestlers, but I haven't managed to brainstorm yet past "Assassin of Red, Eddie Guerrero" and "Berserker of Black, Chris Benoit" meet, resume their bromance from beyond the grave, and promptly ditch the Red/Black factions to win it all for themselves.

Instead of Class determination being based on weapon, it's based on the wrestlers' Legend. Sabers are your super-mega-stars (Steve Austin, Hulk Hogan, John Cena, The Rock, and so on), Archers are luchadors or cruiserweights (the idea being that they use their own body and/or the opponent's body as a projectile; see Rey Mysterio, Jr. as an example), Lancers are renowned for spearing people (Goldberg, Edge, etc.), Casters have spooky gimmicks that may or may not give them in-story superpowers (Undertaker, Kane, Bray Wyatt), Berserkers are hardcore wrestlers and/or have mental "issues" (either in-story like Mick Foley, or in AND outside of story like Benoit and Dean Ambrose), Assassins are killers/thieves/predators (Eddie Geurrero, Randy Orton, etc.), and so on.

Beast is reserved for Brock Lesnar.

If you're gonna do that, you should know already that you can't use Brock Lesnar.

His name is BORK LASER.

I actually wasn't really planning on using Lesnar in it, but I recalled his "Beast Incarnate" moniker and thought it would be a half-decent side reference.

I don't have much of a hypothetical roster offhand at the moment, but I figure that Ruler would probably be Triple H in his modern Corrupt Corporate Executive persona.

Gotta do what's "best for business", after all.

edited 15th Oct '16 10:14:17 PM by EvaUnit01

Ruler would have to be Mr. McMahon, for obvious reasons.

I actually considered that, but chose not to go through with it because, well... almost literally any of the other Servants could eat him alive.

......which, in hindsight, could actually be a reason TO use Vince.

You forgot one thing about Gilgamesh and Waver's confrontation, IANCE.

Right when Gilgamesh was approaching Waver, the first thing he said was asking Waver if he's Iskander's Master (probably a rhetorical formality on his part), only for Waver to deny that and say that he's Iskander's subordinate. I think that was the first step in Waver earning Gilgamesh's respect: He knew his place in the court of a king (namely, the King of Conquerors), and it was not as the king's liege (because in the eyes of Gilgamesh, a true king is beholden to no one, not even the gods themselves).

Well, when one man really loves another man...

... Then they elbow-drop each other really hard?

This is a Spear.

That part where he assumes a horisontal position in the air during the tackle?

No, all of it is part of the traditional spear. Him knocking the guy to the ground, going to one of the four corners and stomping his foot as he yells for his opponent to get back up until he dashes across the room and spears the fuck out of them.

It's a Wrestling Finisher, it needs a bit of ceremony to it.
