Jealous Kerry works because Rule of Funny. This event isn't canon, so it's not like it has any bearing on his main characterization.

So quick question out of curiosity; How many new Servants do we usually get with each event and how much do you guys think could be the maximum? For me, I'm thinking 8 could be the highest it could ever go.

Wait, next week is the Prillya event? For fucks sake. Give me some down time to grind xp and mats.

On the plus side this event has nearly doubled my number of 5* servants, and I finally have a Ruler.

Regardless of your opinion of the last American election, we can all agree on one thing- The Chinese Communist Party can choke on scrotes!

Every event is "canon" in the same way every DBZ movie is "canon"

No every event is literally canon and the servants from said events will appear to aid Gudao against the Demon Pillars in Solomon.

But the events themselves aren't referenced, so Broad Strokes is appropriate.

[up][up]Which was played almost exclusively for laughs.

Anyway, in the end it doesn't matter what the canonicity of the events are, when a author invokes Rule of Funny, he's generally giving himself a carte blanche to ignore prior characterization for the sake of the joke.

Remember how everyone during 2016 was like "Events aren't canon!!!1!!1!!11!" and then Xuanzang showed up in Camelot and was like "yo remember that time you and I did one big Journey to the West LARP”

If this was a different story referencing it sure, but the events themselves happen as seen in FGO. No Broad Strokes at all.

@Hail Muffins: Events and characters being played for Gags doesn't stop it from being canon in Nasuverse. Hell some of the stuff used as lore or refeenced is first used as jokes in other things. IE Shinji uses Friendmaker from Carnival Phantasm to make friends in Last Encore to stab his friend.

Not sure if I'd able to stay sane in Gudao's place. All that shit going on in their life. After, say, the 5th event, my response to opening dialogue would be "LEAVE ME THE FUCK ALONE."

[up][up]How about this then: some events are fully canon while others are merely Broad Strokes, the degree of which varies from event to event?

[up]They kinda get like this from time to time. Didn't Da Vinci basically forced them to take part in Halloween 2: Eletric Bogaloo?

@author: We are getting a break to grind for daily mats (with new enemies, none a less). Which is better than the half AP on story what JP had due of the second Camelot banner being after summer.

Muffins: No, every FGO event is canon in the sense that every story chapter is canon. Like Xuanzang referenced Go West and MHXA and Kiri and so on all show up in Salomon.

Yakuzu: No, events are definitely referenced.

Any chance that gold Lancer gems get sold in event shops in the near future? Not looking forward to grinding for 12 more to finish of Tama Lancer's 3rd skill.

You have Nerofest raffle in not too much longer. It should have skill gems. I think it was a raffle anyway.

Nerofest's raffle doesn't have gems, it has monuments and statues. The event shop has gems, but I don't know from which classes.
