So I have to ask, why are we still referring to Ritsuka as just "protagonist" or "player" on the tropes page?

Feels weird because we have a canon name, along with anime and manga adaptations that use it, with even Nasu using it to refer to them more in interviews.

I mean first of all, no one seem to agree with should they be referred to as "Fujimaru" or "Ritsuka". Second is the whole "Is Guda a self-insert of an independent character?". The game doesn't have a default name option, so we can't go with that.

Continue the bloodline, Fujimaru!

The inedependent character thing seems very context sensitive most of the time given how most writters don't seem to care all that much in how they come off in the story outside of the bare minimum.

Because you can still change their name in the game itself and the trope pages are written to accommodate for that.

That and it's easier to type Guda than their actual name.

Why would we need to agree on this?

[up][up]

That doesn't make sense, there are other pages with namable characters that still refer to them by their canon names, Fire Emblem for example the last 4-5 protagonists have had changeable names, but the pages for those games still refer to them as Robin, Corrin, Byleth, Shez and Alear.

It feels very arbitrary to have a name, which gets used in other media adaptations, and the creators of the game use to refer to them and just keep saying player and protagonist all the time.

I agree with this, if you accept Ritsuka Fujimaru as their name anyway it doesn't matter if you're using their last name or first name.

unfortunately someone has declared that we cannot refer to Mozart as Mozart because god forbid one of the most famous composers in the world ever be referred to by a name that people don't address him as, so good luck overturning that guy's mind on ever being informal with Guda's name

If they ever released a Mordred with Excalibur, it should be like this.

The Tale of Chaldea Heavy Industries event synopsis

With White Day winding up in Chaldea, suddenly, word is given that, mysteriously, that one Singularity has returned to life.

MISO Chips, FUKUYA Leek, and SHINSEN Manju

The strings of letters that show up in the data check all seem vaguely delicious, but also conveys the records of battle which unfolds at the place.

And so once more, that troublesome man descends upon the land. Therein lies a hectic corporate war woven out of his past memories and connections.

Rise up from the very depths, me! And you too, my merry band of employees! Right then, onward to the new age!

"Let's show 'em the pluck of the Choushuu Lad, why don't we?!"

Unfolding in the Restoration City, here comes our SAITAMA success story!

Takasugi has been controlling robots since he was an NPC, this is the least shocking development ever. He was either going to be fighting with his shamisen or with the robots he created.

As for his ascension arts, lol, why he look so evil?

Takasugi has lines for either Ryouma, Izou, Izumo, Babbage, Tametomo, either Erice, and any Shinsengumi member.

And he is voiced by Tetsuya Kakihara as everyone guessed.

Permanent male Servant rate-ups (Paladins and Romans CEs are SSR, Double Moriarty, Yin Palace, and Cafe CEs are SR, the rest are R, for anyone thinking over what CE they want to grab with the voucher).

Takasugi rate-up. Unsurprisingly limited.

Updated event info. All White Day 2023 CEs give a boost to event points.

EMIYA Alter has an upgrade to skill 2, it now grants him 20-30% NP charge and his buffs each now have a duration of 3 times for 3 turns.

It's like he can't help himself, it's kind of funny. That said this one isn't my type physically so I'll just wait to hear about his writing first before I make assumptions. Seems to also be by Takolegs too, which makes it funny since people were congratulating them for all their servants being playable now
