Type-Moon: Fate/stay night, Tsukihime, and Kara no Kyoukai discussion

Everyone's trying to roll that garbage Servant Angra Mainyu.

Because he's the Best Guy

Heart of Stone

Only reason people want him is because people love having shitty things for the novelty of having a shitty thing. Kinda like owning a copy of The Room.

I'm expecting literally every single Type Moon character to be included eventually.

So what the fuck is Angra Mainyu exactly?

"I am Alpharius. This is a lie."

Well, it's All The Evils In The World. It's literally an absolutely enormous collection of curses, resultant from mankind's evil.

The Servant is kiiinda this one unlucky dude who was chosen to be turned into this one village's scapegoat - if he was all the evil, then they couldn't be evil and were therefore good. Except that this meant that that boy never really existed - his identity and nature were replaced with the Angra Mainyu on a conceptual level. Except that the servant also looks like that because that's what Avenger looked like when possessing Shirou but acting as Avenger during Hollow Atraxia - though there wasn't a difference between him acting as Shirou and Shirou because Avenger is a zero and Shirou + zero = Shirou.

It's weird and kinda confusing.

There's an Avenger Iri in the event apparently,who's basically Caster Iri with a black dress.

Will all these Fate titles eventually lead into Type-Moon's downfall if they're not careful on handling it?

Considering Fate is by far their most popular product, I doubt it.

A lazy millennial who's good at what he does.

Nasu apparently has answered that Fate/Grand Order is his magnum opus and took inspiration for it from Fate/Prototype rather than FSN.

He's the reason America was so big as he introduced Edison and his faction into the story.

That said can't wait for Kotomine and Issei servants. I already know Illya will be Caster because she's been a Magical Girl.

Every accusation by the GOP is ALWAYS a confession.

Kotomine has to be Assassin, right? He's pretty much a fighting game monk.

Really should've added a hand to hand class Nasu.

Speaking of Magical Girls and Kotomine,latest Prisma Drei chap out.

They actually had a Magical Girl (x2) summoning in a crossover thing with Nanoha.

Course, if they open things up to that class they'll inevitably have a Magical Girl Saber Lily.

Huh.An Emiya cooking manga popped up.

So I gotta say while this took me a while to figure it out, I just finally realized that the Saber known as Rama is the same Rama from Hindu mythology who is the Seventh Reincarnation of Vishnu & is considered one of mythology's greatest heroes. I can't believe I never noticed this, for some reason I always thought he was just some kind of king from Egypt, I don't why I thought Egypt, probably cause the name or something. Its a pretty jarring contrast cause I always associate the figure with the version from Smite, especially since hes got the blue skin the figure is normally associated with.

Anyone's thoughts on the character & exactly how inaccurate is it from the actual mythology? Just curious here.

"I am Alpharius. This is a lie."

Yeah, I tilted my head at that too. I tend to give the Fate series some serious leeway on how they portray historical/mythological figures, but how can you do a mythological figure like Rama and just not do one of the most fundamental traits about him (i.e. blue skin)? What's the explanation for that? I mean, I'd give some leeway if he had blue hair and wore blue and the in-universe explanation was that over time it was inflated into him having blue skin, but nope, he's a redhead who wears red here.

I'm mostly confused as to why he's a Saber and not an Archer but I guess they wanted all the knight classes represented with overpowered Indian heroes.

The in-universe reasoning for that is that he turn the Brahmastra into a sword when in the Saber class because he thinks its cool.

So why is he not overpowered like the other two?

So in the Zero event Gilgamesh goes down like a chump after being double-teamed by the Knights of Netorare.
