    Just wait for Qin to show up with a badass personality, then all will be redeemed.

    And in any case didn't Higa said that would happen if he became a Servant, that he would be on the same level as Artoria and Iskandar?

    He did, but that's not a very good way to respond to critics, but meh. I will just wait.

    It's hype, and hype is always good. It makes you wallet more empty.

    Shuten already did her job when she play with Guda's innards and fixing the connection to Chaldea through the process.

    good lore

    It starts with the legend of Saburo Koga
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/K%C5%8Dga_Sabur%C5%8D

    Don't know why the english wiki article says those mountains.
    In some japanese versions it says they went to Mount Ibuki instead
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mount_Ibuki

    And the god of mount Ibuki was said to be a giant white snake.
    This giant white snake was also said to be a former part of Yamata no Orochi who escaped there after being owned by Susano
    Anyway in TM, that snake is a bunrei of Yamata no Orochi

    So that snake curse is in the Koga's bloodline now.
    And the Mochizuki family is part of that Koga bloodline and were the only ones who inherited Saburo's blood.

    And the most famous Mochizuki is Chiyome
    So snake powers

    Anyway basically summoning the bunrei of a god and only being C rank. What is this NP.

    Maybe the amount of power she could summon is too small, hence C.

    It's Mahiro. What do you expect? At least he give an acceptable excuse where the snake lines and eyes are part of the curse her family has to bear.

    question
    does Ushiwaka has line for Tomoe?
    Tomoe said she hates Noriyori, Yoritomo and Yoshitsune (Ushiwaka).

    It must also be why she always has her body wrapped up in bondage. The curse. It's all the curse's fault.
