uh, which quote?
am I blind?
.
How much of a mistranslation is this?
'core of a star'
'hoshi' ambiguity claims another victim
かん汗ぎゅう牛じゅう充とう棟
Expresses the exceeding size of one's library.
Books are extremely many, loaded on an oxcart the ox will sweat.
At home piled to the ridgepole of the house, from this meaning.

Oh, that explains that
well, we'll see. Personally I never thought it was Excalibur, but it at the time was just the most likely
still could be tho, shrug
When I first read that quote I actually just figured they were screwing up something stating like Excalibur, but not because it was Excalibur with all limiters removed, so arguably not quite the same thing
ironically that part was the only part not mistranslated. It said Excalibur is of the same nature as whatever blasted Sefar.
Following that, does my head canon still hold up as a possibility or should I discard it?
If your headcanon is a prototype unrestrained Excalibur then you should be fine for now, but dont be surprised if it isnt
if your headcanon is that the wielder is Artoria, well who knows really, could still be saberface grand champ or something
personally I go with it being an older sword (though I guess post Mars) and a different wielder purely because I like it more for Saber to be herself AND to have a different Grand
but this is GO so we getting an Avalon Saber and probably new no Grand Saber

(I feel like I dont need to say this but, this is speculation/headcanon)
I would not be surprised if they pulled a Yugioh and had it be an ancient ancestor of Artoria who just happened to look exactly like her and wielded a near identical sword.
Because to quote George Lucas - "it's like poetry, it rhymes."
"Here's a bangin lil' tune about takin' on The Man!"

While in-story it's probably because she's a space cop working for The (space) Man, on a more real joke structure level it's because her former gag was that she's a Saberface who hunts Saberfaces and her gag is that she's a Foreigner who hunts Foreigners.
The implication might also be that the space cops are controlled by some kind of eldritch horror, but it's not terribly relevant to her gag so it remains one of those weird unexplained jokes of the Servant Universe.
Come think of it, I wonder how much of the Servant Universe they actually have sketched out and how much they're just making up on the spot. Chief Red was foreshadowed ages ago in April Fools TMitter, I guess?
As I mentioned previously, Arthur referred to himself as "holy sword wielder of the modern/current era". So the existence of "holy sword wielder of the age of gods" is very much within possibilities. So it might be that was a not-king-Arthur caveman blasting bunny titan with Excalibur or not-king-Arthur caveman blasting bunny titan with uber Excalibur that is no longer called Excalibur at that stage.
I haven’t made any decisions on whether or not it was Arturia, but my head fanon is it is Excalibur, her sword. But it’s different because whatever factors that are required for it to release every single limited and at absolute max power at the time. So that’s how it was Excalibur, yet not at the same time
Personally I like it if it was a prototype which broke afterwards, and Excalibur was the reforged and refined product inspired from its original. The Last Phantasm and miracle of the AoG.
And then giving that shit to the perfect king, but even it was not enough to halt the age's progression.
It's true usage however would not be used in her myth, but instead would serve for a future use when the human order needs a new miracle.
After all, she is the once and future King (but thats heavy headcanon land so strap up kiddos)
How about this one?
I mean, in a couple dialogue paths it came up that white face could very plausibly have handled vesper but hakuno wasn’t willing to explore it as an option because he would lose tamamo in the process
BeastXXX, do you just only want to hear that yes Big Sunny Ama is in fact a big deal?
I’m sure the actual answer is much more convoluted than that.
Tamamo is great
All the Sun boys must feel really special.
