• On the changes in Mad Enhancement, Ilya and Heracles from F/SN to RN: http://forums.nrvnqsr.com/showthread...0875#post80875
- Small change in phrase. "凶暴化" was substituted for "狂化".
So instead of "you have not been allowing Berserker to use Mad Enhancement", it becomes "you have not been allowing Berserker to become wild".
Also, instead of "Go mad, Berserker", Ilya's command was "Obliterate them, Berserker".
- If you read the skill descriptions, Mad Enhancement must be active in order to rob the Servant of all thought processes. Einzberns summoned Hercules in Berserker class in order to rob him of all thoughts and turn him into a puppet. It made no sense that Ilya was fully controlling Berserker without activating the ability until that point. Also, Berserker was growling and smacking wildly (instead of talking normally and moving in a normal manner) while not under Mad Enhancement.

- The "ability increase" part is still present as Hyrion posted, however, that can be easily attributed to "Ilya was withholding Berserker's powers".

-I don't think it's as much of a retcon as people are making it out to be. Rather than just flipping the enhancement switch from off to on, it's now more like turning a dial from a lower setting to full-blast.

-So the difference is: "Insane but without an ability boost"(original) vs. "insane with only a minor ability boost until Ilya goes full power"(Realta Nua)? (http://forums.nrvnqsr.com/showthread...1999#post81999)
-Light shines in Berserker's eyes.
…The Servant that has obeyed Ilya up to now has his mind released and identifies us as his enemies.

- Either Master or Servant (e.g. Lancelot) can turn it on. Don't know about turning it off once it is on though.

....The Command Spells engraved on her entire body were there just to control Berserker. Those things that were useless as circuits were without question cutting the girl's life away. Just the slightest movement from Berserker would make her scream. -Of course this would happen.
The appearance of the Holy Grail is 2 months from now, still a time away. What was holding down the great hero, was only her magical energy and command spells. Berserker was not woven with the magic energy of the Holy Grail. Despite how unique the girl is, holding Berserker with her own magic energy was the same as having her life being stolen from her.
And knowing that, they had not given her time to breathe. In the winter forest, they left her to the starving herd of beasts. They even gave them to corpses possessed of evil ghosts. They had even thrown her into the disposal yard for failed creations. For the girl to survive, she had to rely on the giant, the one thing that she had.
The girl came back entirely intact from training that had mutated into torture. She made the giant strike the enemies that came crawling towards her. While screaming from agony with each blow, she made him eliminate him all the hordes that came attacking her.
.....He himself didn't really know when it was, that this process had become something special to him.
The girl, in contradiction to her youth, despised showing signs of weakness. Everything she said was abusive. If she were going to grieve over her plight, then it would better serve her to hate the source of her condition. That way, she would become stronger, as she instinctively knew. The girl looked down upon his ugliness and cursed his very existence.
It was to be expected.
If only Berserker hadn't been here, she wouldn't have to suffer. If she hadn't been chosen to be a Master, she wouldn't have been tossed into that hell.
The girl resented the giant all the time and let out her anger. When the signs of the appearance of the Holy Grail had appeared and she grew used to controlling him, the pain attacking her had disappeared. The girl, out of revenge for her experience, robbed the giant of his reasoning, and treated him as a speechless "Berserker".
.....He had long known that it had been the only resistence she could muster.
