No reason you can't. Er, about Caster, Lancer and Rider? Because either way, Yuuna IS going to know who that woman us, because even without a name, Kuro has pictures…

Unequally/2814! Now, about Berserker of 2814…
"And finally, last but definitely not least, the Fifth Berserker, my sister's Servant," Kuro said. "Of all the Servants, his identity is a complete and total mystery. We have no idea who he is, although I suspect he's some kind of ancient, world-devouring demonic entity."
Everyone stared at her. The locals glanced at her and Ala Alba, wondering if they were messing with them. They were kidding, right?
"Unlike most Epic Spirits, who have at most three or four Noble Phantasms, this Berserker had at least 7, and more than 20 skills that might as well be Noble Phantasms," Kuro continued. "His armor is some kind of life-support system at can keep someone alive even in space, his helmet radiates an aura of fear that can cause heart attacks and lets him teleport in shadows, his belt never runs out of weapons, he can assume anyone's appearance, his mind is completely protected from outside influences, anything he touches becomes a Noble Phantasm he can use as if he'd trad with it all his life regardless if whatever it is was a chopstick or a piece of cloth, he can cause weapons and equipment to come out of the aether… the only thing he can't do is kill. One of his Noble Phantasms is apparently a curse that binds him from doing that. I suspect he might be Irish, since it could be a geas."
"You don't say …" Skuld said dryly.
"But… isn't that Ba-—" Negi tried to say.
Other Chao's elbow subtly dug into his side. "Be cool, man…" she said under her breath, interrupting him.
Kuro was sighing. "Unfortunately, now you know as much as we do. Berserker corresponds to no single known legend. He's apparently some kind of Knight, since one of his Noble Phantasms is called 'Knight of Justice', but no knight in history correspond to the array of abilities he has. He bears some similarity to Lancelot, but we KNOW he's not Lancelot, so that's out. Frankly, I doubt we'll ever find out who he is. All I can say is that if you ever run into him, run and hope someone distracts him from you."
Chisame stared. "But… it's… he's obvious—"
Other Chao elbowed her too. "Shut up…" she said sweetly under her breath.
Batman stared silently at the armored figure. "Demon?" He muttered under his breath, pitched to Other Chao's ears.
"Isn't that what you're going for?" she muttered right back.
A small smile payed on his lips…

... Okay, I'm stumped. Who is this "Ba-???" guy, and how do Negi and Chisame know of him?

"Traveling between the worlds with my schoolbooks on my back, I am the acrobat that swings up with a smile! Speak my name and I will appear!" Zazie declared as she introduced herself to the class.
And she never said another word after that until she handed Negi tickets to the Nightmare Circus…

It should be bloody obvious from that last comment. Think. I'll only tell you that we call him Bruno Diaz in South America. And he is in that scene.

Bruno Diaz? Really?

<checks Wikipedia> O_O Wha? WhawhawhawhaWHA?! You mean... He-he-he-he's...? And his Master is 2814!Illya? Oh, Crap!. He's the one who won 2814's 5th Heaven's Feel, wasn't he?

Nope. Nobody won. Like every other grail war ever.

I meant in terms of Servant vs. Servant battles, or simply reaching the active Holy Grail first (regardless of whether a wish gets made). Like, in Fate Zero, Saber is the one who technically came out victorious over Gilgamesh, but the war was technically a draw since Kiritsugu forced Saber via Command Spell to destroy the Grail's vessel.

Wait, Marq, YOU ACTUALLY DIDN'T KNOW WHO 2814 BERSERKER WAS?

What about Rakan versus someone who has no modesty, like Nero?
Batserker is less awesome than most other incarnations of Batman, though.

It's okay. Even if she hadn't been there, she'd learn about Caster's true nature in their first meeting.
Funny thing is, she'd actually take less shock from "Daughter, this is the supernatural Servant I had to take in to compete in a bloody war" than from "Daughter, this is a woman I just happened to meet, and we decided to live together in sin."
I'm old enough to remember when, not only Bruce Wayne was Bruno Diaz and Dick Grayson was Ricardo Tapia, but Hal Jordan was Raul Jordan, Barry Allen was Bruno Alba (why so many Brunos?), James Gordon was Jaime Fierro, Harvey Dent was Luis Rios, and Oliver Queen was Oliverio Reina. Funny, but Clark Kent and Alan Scott retained their original names.

To the former, maybe. To the latter, well, considering her first reaction to Donet...

Even if she did, nothing would come of it anyway.

Just in case anyone ever asks why I never get anything written.

Pft. Try doing that with a custom Minesweeper with max area and 150 mines.

@OM: huh, actually, that would be pretty funny…
Wataru: ah, Yuuna, this is Donet-san, an old friend. She'll be staying with us for a while on business.
Yuuna: She's the Servant Caster Medea of Colchis, and she's here to fight in the Holy Grail War.
Medea/Wataru: BWAH????
Yuuna: not a good idea, you know. Grail's tainted, it'll corrupt any wish made on it into something that kills a lot of people.
Wataru: Yuuna, how do you know all this?
Yuuna: I listen in class. You'd be surprised what you'd learn. Look, if you're going to be fighting, we're going to need medical supplies, one of those magic in a can things for a quick recharge in case Caster'svenergy runs low, maybe a safe house…
Wataru: what? Oh no young lady, you are NOT having anything to do with this!
Yuuna: does the headmaster know you're a Master dad? I bet we could get all kinds of support since we have the home field advantage…
Yes, actually, Yuuna WOULD freak less on finding a war-fighting familiar in her house. Her dad finding out she knows so much, however…
While Yuuna is now very much against banging her dad, will she do so second hand, that is, sleep with Caster?
World's Cutest Direwolf
Tsk, tsk, Yuuna. You should know better than to go blurting out an allied Servant's identity.
It's... complex. Yuuna still has the same Dad Complex, it's just she's now actively trying to fight it after what she saw "there". As for Caster... well, keep reading. Actually, a lot of how their relationship will be like will depend on how other related developments I'm writing will turn out, and how much time and room I have to develop the Akashi Family in the big scheme of things, between all the other subplots.
I just had an idea for an Unequally Sanzenin Nagi, down to why she would be named 'Nagi' to begin with. Since I'm in a mild Hayate kick now after checking the first episode of the new anime (which is very bad, but in a So Bad, It's Good way), I might try exploring some of those characters if I get the time. After the return to Mahora, some characters who lost spotlight during Kyoto might regain it, some characters who have only made cameos or were mentioned but not shown could get their due, and the cards of plot importance could shuffle around other than the leads.
I know I shouldn't do Character Bashing, but man alive, I'd like to kill Hayate's parents in such a horrible way...
Well, no one ever could accuse Yuuna of having an excess of common sense.

You're allowed to hate characters who sell their sweet kids' organs to the Yakuza while he's still alive. That's written down somewhere. Besides, all you have to do is have the mob catch up with them to discuss their unpaid debts, and there's a perfectly reasonable excuse for their deaths.
Now I kinda want to write cutaways to a parallel scene set at the exact same time where Temptress is explaning the exact same things to Joker and Co. (Of course, only showing the key mirror differences and contrasts between scenes).
