    While it doesn't say it's a buff in stats, he definitely uses it to his advantage for reach however, which was one of the reasons he could hold the gate.

    Was the reach ever cited as a reason he could hold the gate?

    Anyway he gets the sword in GO so it's not Japan related at least.

    I mean if the sword was shorter tsubame gaeshi wouldn't be as much as a problem since dashing back becomes more of an option.

    It's among the reasons, since his reach does not allow her to move to either side of him and dash past.

    And yes, again, it's not Japan related because it was something nameless farmer had, not Sasaki Kojirou.

    I know "Kojiro" is a wraith, but considering Monohoshizao's (sp?) fame, shouldn't it have been a Noble Phantasm of some sort?

    No, let me rephrase: why wasn't it an NP?

    I mean, other samurai servants also had their famed swords with them but I don't recall any of those being NPs off the top of my head, except for Suzuka's.

    Just because it has fame doesn't make it an NP.

    Kojirou's NP-esque feat is the cut, not the sword. Usually the NP-worthy weapons are actually something that did batshit crazy stuff on their own. His was...long enough to hang laundry on.

    For comparison, a lot of the samurai characters have named swords that are "famously" part of their legend. Raikou has one of the Tenka Goken and it's not even been cited as an NP yet.

    I see, I see. That makes sense. Thanks, you two!

    so, Charles has mana burst light? so like, magecraft-creates-actual-elements-and-mysteries-from-the-past-therefore-lightspeed light?

    so, unless he somehow cant use it or it doesnt kill you in 1 hit like most other elemental mana bursts, that would mean the everyone in the story can react to those speeds because they would be dead in 1 second if they didnt, no?

    Only real-life ones. Magic lasers move at the speed of plot.

    No offense, but why are you so obsessed with this? It's magic light, not normal light, so it doesn't have to go by the regular laws of physics. If laser-shooting NPs worked by RL physics then Arturia would go flying backward every time she used Excalibur (since photons actually do have momentum, albeit not much).

    Just watch the vid I linked in the Extella Link spoiler thread. That is nowhere near lightspeed bud.

    hence why she has great quads
