Someone who wrote a treatise on Kara no Kyoukai, Notes or even DDD will amaze me more.
Saturation of Fate is too much that a term like "Servant", "Magus" or even "Master" is automatically being associated with Fate.
Not dealing with it...
Why even try?
This is golden...
Managed to find 3.
"Identity of Summoned Heroes: Aspects of Psyche and Phases of Persona in Fate/stay night"
Which is also available here.This paper investigated the possibility of irradiating archetypal correlatives of individuality, through the examination of the description and expression about the spells used in summoning magic. Several interesting Japanese video games and anime shows are introduced in the notes of this paper.
"Existence, Phenomenon and Personality: Individuality in Figurines, Anime and Game"
So it seems to be an excerpt from this.A study of fictional existence and meta-identity of individuality. This book consists of subculture studies of figurines, cult movie, video game and anime. Various PVC figurines such as Hatsune Miku, Black Rockshooter, Asuka, Rei and Senjogahara Hitagi are examined in order to corroborate the components that constitute the characteristics of a persona.
Uploaded file is a variant example introduced in the book expressing the separation of the meaning from presentational iconography following the manner of Rene Magritte
"Reshaping historical and legendary European figures in the Fate’s universe"
The only one available in English, but unfortunately the paper hasn't actually been made public.In the 21st century, the impressive growth of cultural exchanges implies a strong stimulation to local imaginaries and personal imaginations. More than ever, fragments of One’s culture are transferred and assimilated, deformed, restructured by an Other’s. Among those, some serve as new raw materials for writers and are used in various ways, whether it is as an historical background, a parodic one, fantasized and exotic characters, or even as moe-elements in the otaku database (Azuma Hiroki, 2001). This creates a great opportunity to witness an exponential development of transcultural and transtextual productions. This way, the circulation of cultural elements amplifies as well the chance of revitalizing – understood as giving a second life – and hybridising ancient ones in unexpected areas. In the meantime, the reorganisation of cultural elements through fictional works challenges and modifies their perception by the readers. The more foreign the fragments are to the readership, the more fictionnalisation might influence them – even more when they possess a limited knowledge of their original values. For researchers in literature, the consequences of such a situation in our century ought to arouse their curiosity since it confronts numerous concepts (i.e. nationality, identity, the impact of fictionnalisation …). And amidst the areas of contemporary cultural exchanges, the “crossroad” where Europe encounters Japan is worthy of interest.
In this paper, I intend to observe how some historical and legendary figures of European cultures are reshaped through the prism of a successful Japanese popular work: Fate/Stay night – and its universe. Created by Type-Moon, in 2004, as a visual novel composed of three different scenarios, it has been adapted in manga and animation following the principles of the media-mix strategy – as well as its prequel, Fate/Zero, first published as a light novel (2006-2007). In a transcultural and transtextual approach, I study how this fiction offers a peculiar approach of European characters (King Arthur, Cú Chulainn, Alexander the Great…), challenges the readers’ perception, as well as reactivates ancient elements in the 21st century.

My bad, the last one is a conference presentation, that's why it's not available.
Thanks a lot, savepoints! I'll read them later.
Well how foreign papers can work sometimes is they put the abstract out in english but that's it
The first two are book chapters like that
The last one was actually a panel discussion at this workshop https://mutualimages.org/
Though abandoned, forgotten, and scorned as out-of-date dolls, they continue to carry out their mission, unchanged from the time they were designed.
Machines do not lose their worth when a newer model appears.
Their worth (life) ends when humans can no longer bear that purity.
Spoiler:
give her hydreigon
I was thinking either that or Druddigon.
Spoiler:
Druddigon for sure.
On the other hand Mega Gallade feels like a really good match. Nickname it Gilles.
did Nasu ever give info on the train of thought that went into making Kiara?
because her choice of religious attire, usage of martial arts and pleasure derived from emotionally damaging people, it seems like he started with the logic of "lets genderbend kirei"
Kirei Araya
Ki Ara
Kiara
i saw something like this
Chaldea Heroes
Personal skill
They are nothing alike.
Nasu is a Buddhism nerd, everything about Kiara is heavily Buddhism-centric
how are they so different besides their religion of choice and sex drive?
are nuns a thing in eastern religions?
Everything about their backgrounds, motivations, characters, philosophy, personalities to their actions
Yes. There are tons of Buddhist nuns. Like just take Japan for example, plenty of famous female historical figures become Buddhist nun. Chacha for exampleare nuns a thing in eastern religions?
She's a Buddhist nun
She is not only an expert magus but can use Buddhism martial arts and even Dakini arts (as Tamamo noticed when she pushed Passionlip into spirit form using Dakini magic).usage of martial arts
No. She is completely different from Kirei in this regard. She does not seek pleasure from emotionally damaging people whatsoever. Her goal is always to become one with the fundamental truth of the universe (Shingon Buddhism ideal) aka become a Buddha on the same level of Vairocana/Amaterasu, to reach the seat of god and obtain omnipotence which will bring even more pleasure to herself. All of that is to bring salvation to mankind in her mind. However, because she believes that only herself is human, is mankind, she considers everyone else to be disposable, which then leads her to seek pleasure for herself, for salvation to herself. This is vastly different from Kirei being a sadistic nasty priest.and pleasure derived from emotionally damaging people
i wasnt asking in terms of position
i was reffering to nuns only for the choice of attire.
can you point to any buddhist sect that dresses exactly like Kiara does in her base human form as an alter ego?
- - - Updated - - -
i was thinking along the lines of the description of her clairvoyance skill, which does protray her as a sadist that enjoys mental torture
lol, I don't think you're going to find a Christian nun that wears that attire either you know
because Christian nuns don't exactly wear cocktail dresses
Localizationing stuff
Maybeee if Gawain was in charge of their costume then they would
I think he's talking about the general color scheme then design really
"Only in my company, will you not be a monster"
anywhere than here
Yes. Chinese monks and nuns during the Tang Dynasty wore black robes. Even now there are several sects using that color. It's not a strange thing.
When she reaches demon bodhisattva state, she is based on the Bodhisattva Guanyin so the color scheme changed to white similar to her. The design of the clothing is more to fit the fantasy settings rather than being 100% accurate to RL.
That's the same thing Tamamo Lancer commented about Kiara, because that's basically the same as Golden Fox in CCC. They both have certain sadistic tendencies. It's not something essential to her character or that which motivates her to seek pleasure and turn demon like it motivated Kirei. Kirei acts on that, while Kiara just has that sadist quirk turn on whenever she sees some deep shit in the enemies and try to shit on them similar to the fox.i was thinking along the lines of the description of her clairvoyance skill, which does protray her as a sadist that enjoys mental torture
