Lord El-Melloi II Case Files

[warellis]

Is the manga being translated at all?

Sir Kay isn't a servant, summoning servants (≒ souls of HS) being super hard was even one of the points of this incident.
He just kept on throwing out random things like Merlin said this, Agravain used to be like this, I'm not like those other knights who could turn the tables just by themselves, that kind of thing. Please don't make me take apart the entire book looking for random quotes.

Also too much lore terms for me to explain things properly and I don't want to be a source of misinformation.
These I can say without fearing any misinterpretations:
- This village was trying to revive Artoria by combining a replica of her body, mind, and soul (though the soul wasn't here obviously)
- Zuepia was watching over the village to prevent accidents, but couldn't interfere directly because of the contract Atlus has with the village.
- Sir Kay is really good at swimming.

So was Grey an attempt at creating the replica?

[yokushi]

She is a replica of Artoria's body.

[Balthizar]

She is a replica of Artoria's body.

So, she's like a proto-Mashu? Was she created to be Artoria 2.0, or was she supposed to serve as a vessel for her demi-servant style?

[Mcjon01]

Actually if you think about it she's really absolutely nothing like Mash at all and that's a bad comparison.

[AmADo VII]

Grey is more like Darius Ainsworth.

[Balthizar]

Actually if you think about it she's really absolutely nothing like Mash at all and that's a bad comparison.

So Mashu wasn't a designer baby that was born to be the vessel for a Heroic Spirit?

Yeah, that's probably more accurate.

[Mcjon01]

Well, Grey certainly wasn't

[Balthizar]

This village was trying to revive Artoria by combining a replica of her body, mind, and soul (though the soul wasn't here obviously)

I read this and jumped to the conclusion that Grey was specifically designed to be a HS vessel in a similar way that Mashu was. Is she a homunculus then, or something else entirely?

[AmADo VII]

Grey is not quite a vessel, she will eventually become Artoria Pendragon physically.

[Asunder]

It sounds a lot like what the Einzbern did to recreate the Third Magician.

[jennajayfeather]

Why were they trying to replicate Artoria? I mean other than her being a cool king. Did they have a reason for it?

[Iceblade44]

"The Once and Future King who will come again to save Britain from great peril."

Probably something along those lines, to Britain King Arthur is essentially their Messiah

[Rafflesiac]

Grey is not quite a vessel, she will eventually become Artoria Pendragon physically.

So when Grey gets older she'll get stacked?

[AmADo VII]

So when Grey gets older she'll get stacked?

it's not something that can be called growing, Grey is slowly transforming into Artoria.

[jennajayfeather]

Something I always wondered because of Svin's attraction to Gray's scent (if it's reminiscent to Saber):

Could he have a relation to Cavall?

But thinking about it...that's just more weird.

[Rafflesiac]

it's not something that can be called growing, Grey is slowly transforming into Artoria.

Oh.

Poor girl.

[asterism42]

Grey is an allegory for Takeuchi's influence on the franchise

Also, what's Kay's deal in all this?

[Quoren]

Was the identity of the armored woman revealed?
