Instead he feels like a cool bro to knock back some drinks with and someone you can trust to watch your back in a bar room brawl. I mean, don't get me wrong, he's a nice guy and a cool guy, but ironically he just doesn't meet my expectations for Napoleon. If I want a bro, I already have Cu. Seems my quartz will be safe until the Lostbelt proper starts at least.

    Yeah, but Alex already had Zero for his character development. Maybe I'll have a better opinion of this Napoleon-as-Internet-Chuck-Norris (since he's all Napoleon's stories made real) after the reading the next Lostbelt, but for now, he's just not doing it for me.

    Why doesn't Iskandar have more tactical and cool headed mind?

    Because he's not a tactical and level headed guy. He's smart but he always hot-blooded. Same in IRL

    I would have liked more tactics from Alex myself. He was pretty much the one guy in Zero who had no real strategy despite being the only Servant with Military Tactics.

    I'm pretty sure that's Sesto's point. All we have of Napoleon so far is his My Room lines. If you go solely off of those for Iskandar, there's not much to him either. I'm disappointed in his animations but I wouldn't pass judgment on him as a character until the Lostbelt is out.

    Napoleon being a super-popular guy was a thing in RL tho. Like, after he surrendered to them the British didn't let him land in England and kept him on a ship in Plymouth harbour because they were afraid of him potentially rousing up the masses, it's also why he was shipped off to Saint Helena.

    Also the ship's crew would sell tickets for people to row up in small boats for a chance to see him.

    I would also blame the fox in her route. And I don't want to know what the tails did to it once they corrupted the core. Moon Cell-chan can never take a break even after that.

    All this stuff about being the hero of humanity is a set up so we get surprised when he's our enemy in the Lostbelt, I'm sure.
    Specially because of these "mankind (the apex)". What happens if mankind isn't the Primate?
    According to a funny comment on reddit, he's gonna be standing in place Heimdal, using his NP as the Bifrost.

    That would actually be pretty neat. And the big reveal is Heroic Spirit Wagner, a Shakespeareface.

    Now I'm imagining Wagner as Drosselmeyer from Princess Tutu...

    Gotterdammerung is just the German translation of Ragnarok though there is an German Opera called that.
