Spoiler:

窓の外には遠く遠く月が冴え。 視界は朱に統一され還元する兆候もなく。
地球製だった思考回路はおかしな異星の回路にすげかわり。
十何年間も蓄えた観念は羅列する数字と極めて未知の方程式へと進化進化。
そこには共通する色彩さえなく、キミが見ている朱とワレの見ている朱は判別できまい。
嗚呼。
つまり、オレは壊れたらしい。

is Detroit Emiya recorded on the Throne?

[Riku Noctis]

...I have no idea what you guys're talking about.

About the Dawn story shown in Kagetsu Tohya, written by Kugane Murayama, Overlord's author before he went full chuuni professional. The lines are from the part where Maiko senses she's going crazy because lolNero.

Yamaiko and her sister in Overlord are the "counterparts" of the Akemi sisters in Kagetsu Tohya, incidentally. XD

[SeiKeo]

More of a forum question but:
I vaguely remember reading some crack theory about how KnK is about post-ww2's ideological shift and how shiki represents the clash with western culture etc etc. Anyone have a link to that?

Left is right that that was me. Dull is more about the lost decade, and does know more about Japan than I do. If you have specific questions my PMs are open, that was a while ago and I don't have it all off the top of my head.

十何年間も蓄えた観念 -> the Nanaya inversion impulse?

Runes

[SpoonyViking]

Do we know anything about the Burial Agency other than that they're strong enough to fight Servants and that they hunt Dead Apostles*?

* All Dead Apostles, or only the Ancestors?

[You]

a lot of them are p cray

[fire_mountain_30]

Runes

you know, i find it slightly surprising that runes let you summon servants, but the fact that they let you go full Madara on someone is downright unsettling

[Iceblade44]

Not really. One thing that you are forgetting is that these Runes Scathach and Bryn is throwing down ain't no ordinary runes, but they are the Original Runes that was carved by Odin himself. They are AoG tier magecraft, the sort of stuff that is equal to the 5 True Magics in the common era. If you think of it in that context it makes sense, they are literally using the same magic that the Greatest God of Nothern Europe himself used.

If you want to take an issue then it has to be more on them particularly being able to use such powerful magic. Bryn can get an excuse for who she is but not so much Scathach

[neveron]

So where did the whole Scathach=Skadi thing come from, anyway? I know that SMT played with it earlier, but is there anything before that? (Or is this just like Gilgamesh' Tower of Druaga armor, where it's just a reference?)

[Iceblade44]

Pretty sure it's just a reference. Because there nerds like that

According to the JP wiki, Barbara G. Walker, an American author and feminist mentioned that Scathach is identified with the goddess Skadi in her book "The woman's encyclopedia of myths and secrets". However the wiki also noted that since she is a feminist and a writer, she most likely included it without myth support facts. Then SMT capitalized that and let Scathach evolves into Skadi in SMT Nocturne, and Fate is apparently going with Barbara's theory as well.

ah no. it is more so the degree of urgency and visual spectacle. summoning a servant to me just seems way more tame than a meteor. but then again, Flat Snark is a thing

[Rafflesiac]

I dunno D-Meme can shatter a meteor Servants >>>> Meteors confirmed

...Because women and feminists can't support their claims and just pull things out of their rear, obviously.

I mean, from what I've seen of her book, it's not good at all, but there's a huge difference between saying "this author doesn't support her claims" and "this author doesn't support her claims because she's a woman / a feminist / both".

Dude, that's what the wiki said, not me lol. Don't shoot the messenger.

[SpoonyViking]

Oh, I know! I was expressing my disgust at the wiki, not you. Sorry for not making that clear.
