The movies are also in color. There's something big going on here.

I thought you watched it in black and white

Wait, there's a black and white version?

That's awesome if that's the case.

[Draconic]

does this ever stoped anybody?

Shockingly, yes.

I always thought that the question of Can Shiki kill Servants had been answered and that answer was
"Complex Nasuverse lore+Nasu's official answer+Circular arguments+Grand Order bullshit and Nasu being indecisive+Reminder of invalidity of spectacular CrazyCloverClub doujins"
Regardless, whether one may want one, a person really shouldn't actually need a definitive answer unless you're trying to write 100% canon compliant fanfiction that directly relates to that specific question, an act which is fundamentally foolish, and can probably induce insanity slower but no less efficiently than beholding the face of Cthulhu.

Anyway, I'm not trying to spark discussion here, and as I don't plan on writing that kind of fanfic, I don't feel like saying another word on the subject.

Actually, are there any plans to finish translating those doujinshis?

In Babylon Romani calls Mesopotamia one of the great 4 civilizations that serves as humanity's foundation. I wonder what the other 4 are, my guess would be India, China, and Egypt as they were civilizations that rose along with Sumer but then earlier in the chapter Romani saying that egypt isn't that important as an foundation of human history then Sumer so I don't know. This is just some random thoughts of me thinking of them one day expanding out to, which I guess would be cool.

[the god of world-0]

what aboutthe greeks?

[asterism42]

Not old enough, I think.

Maybe the Australians?

[Iceblade44]

Australians were very isolated tho, i don't see how they could serve as a foundation

The foundation civilizations aren't necessarily of equal significance. Maybe they're both founding but Sumer is more so than Egypt.

China is probably one cuz Yellow Emperor (Huang Di) started his legacy around 2500 BCE which is same as Gil's time, and references to him from Tamamo are already all over the place.
India is another possibility too since Karna and Arjuna dated back in 5000 BCE according to Holmes.

I wonder how Ozy, Tamamo and Karna get along considering they're all pretty deeply connected to Sun gods.
Tamamo apparently remembers being Japan's Sun according to Extella from what I heard.

[Magikewl]

Big brother Ozy adopting Karna and Tamamo as his little siblings is top canon

Tamamo and Karna likes eachother and get along well. Ozy tries to get all sun divine Servant's call him Oni chan

[Rafflesiac]

Ozy is Tamamo's self-proclaimed big brother

Wow I should've refreshed that page sooner

[Gray]

It really is fun to see how many servants have overlapping influences or archetypes or abilities.

I wonder whether what level of potion Jekyll, Medea and Paracelsus could make if they teamed up.

Technically speaking Fate is the longest because the first 3 days are classified as part of that Route, IIRC.

From the Useful BL Notes thing in Questions thread:

Prologue: 676 pages, 2313 lines and 26246 words.
Fate: 9530 pages, 28056 lines and 299080 words.
UBW: 7221 pages, 22154 lines and 219495 words.
HF: 9206 pages, 37508 lines and 275774 words.

Strangely, I believed that HF is longer than Fate...

[The poster explains that this includes everywhere there is at least a single letter or number, does include Tiger Dojos, the word count doesn’t include choices, the page count includes pages without words and neither page nor word count includes the mini-theatres. The total is 26,633 pages, 90,031 lines, and 820,595 words.]

It is, I checked the file sizes myself. Fate is only the biggest if you give it the common route and not the others.

The four great civilizations are America, Britain, Rome, and Babylon.

France was there too, but everyone forgets France.

It probably is that 4.

I assume its a reference to modern archaelogical theory of the 4 cradle of civilization: Mesopotamia, ancient Egypt, Harappan (India), and ancient China

Egypt was said to doesnt have the same "sway" in terms of ripple effect but i figure its still counts.
