    Basically, Griffith and Manaka just have the appearance and personality of someone whom you want to kill, fuck, or both. Not necessarily in that order.

Meaning Manaka`s death break all her visual/mind control spells.
    Well something like that, but I think that just comes naturally with her connection with the Root.

    I just thought, what if 666 uses Manaka and the 6 fragments alters like Kiara used Marble? We battle with them. Then it droped their skin = battle against 7 dragons like You said, fusion dance = battle against one 7-headed dragon. And Nero-face Whore of Babylon bickering with Manaka for the sake of Nasu`s love for memes.
    And the servantdex will only have Manaka`s picture in the Beast of 666 entry of course

    Oh, yes, I agree with you on that it comes naturally to her because of that. Was just explaining what I think was the mechanics/my interpretation

    Trust me, before Beast Kiara and the CCC Event, I would never have considered the possibility of Manaka in FGO, but now... I don`t want it but my head tells me "ah, can be"

    It's not bad. It's not one of my usual reads, but it genuinely has quite a few qualities. It's just that, in portraying a dark, awful setting, it can often cross the line to exploitative, such as with the aforementioned Casca rape - what should have been a genuinely horrific moment is little more than masturbating material because of how it's drawn (divorced of context, it's basically a standard hentai rape scene).

    Dark Souls takes influence from Berserk, and Nasu takes influence from Dark Souls. I'd imagine that Berserk will soon start taking influence from Nasu just to complete the cycle.

    I always thought Berserk took it's inspiration from Idolm@ster though, and considering the Idol twitter April fools thing a couple years back, I'd say that the cycle already skipped Berserk.

    Idols? I was just hoping for magical girl Schierke. Toss in Anna from GBF and Selene from Dragon's Dogma for a team. Make Rosine the villain.

    I thought it was one of humanity's foundations too because it led to the founding of Chaldeas or something?
