Kotomine Kirei my rear end. This is a shapeshifter or something, there's no goddamn way the real rear end Kotomine is in Chaldea in 2019 working for the church. Also that secretary is DEFINITELY either straight up an aspect of Tamamo or some kind of psuedo-Tamamo, that wonderful brand of malice halfheartedly disguised with cutesy friendliness with a hint of beastial nature is extremely Fate/Extra Tamamo.

Even if I weren't spoiled to hell about what's coming, though, I like how "some rich rear end in a top hat and a bunch of Call of Duty mooks" are an actual threat after all we've been through. Even before getting to Koyanskaya and the priest.

I know it's just her nature to present a sunny face front after she became director, but Davinci seems to be a little too rosy minded about how this is all going to shake out. I mean she and Holmes clearly have their contingency plans grinding away in the background, but still... the tone of "IT'LL BE FINE!" strikes me as oddly non-genius of her.


She clearly is compartmentalizing information. Koyanskaya was willing to grind Guda to paste if they knew anything about Team A, even their names. The less other people know about the contingency plans, the better.

Nasu it's ok to have your Western character's names be like...James, or John, or Jorge, or even Pierre. They don't have to literally all be nonsense word salad.

There's no need to rush to be an adult.


Honestly, that felt like a boss review. Nothing good comes of introducing characters in silhouette. I know it's a narrative device as we never knew/met these people before, but still.

And, yeah, Secretary Girl is a servant of some sort, pudgy guy is probably absolutely clueless, and Kotomine Kirei is gonna die, one way or another, dammit.

I get the distinct impression that it's supposed to be extremely obvious that said people in silhouettes will somehow be tied to future arcs and be their respective "bosses" (note - I don't know any of the upcoming plot so if any of that is true it's speculation, not spoilers).

There's approximately a 0% chance that Koyanskaya isn't one of the Tamamo Nine, given she literally has a fox earring.

There was only a single Fuyuki Holy Grail war in FGO's timeline. It was in 2004 and was won by Marisbilly Animusphere, and judging by Episode 0 for Babylonia, left much of the city in flames.

Also the Fuyuki Singularity encountered in the prologue was not necessarily a perfect recreation of the FGO-timeline Fuyuki Grail War in terms of what servants were there. Afterall, Marisbilly's servant was the Caster and it wasn't Druid Cu.

Yeah, the introductions for the group felt more like boss previews, though I'm not sure why they'd be antagonists. I'm guessing something will go wrong during their awakening to brainwash or subjugate them, maybe deliberately due to the new evil-acting lady. I'm also very curious about the one Da Vinci was so eager to just skip over.

Scandinavia Peperocino is an extremely villainous name and I will not hear a word to the contrary.

Beryl Gut is not a crazy name, though the romanization people were using of "Beryl Gat" back when these names were first being given to us was definitely much better. Daybit and Wodime's names hold a special place in my heart alongside Altria and whatever the gently caress Sola-Ui's full name is supposed to be for awful Type-Moon names that can go to hell.
