    I was never taught about it in school and never read anything using it. When would it even come up?

    Cartoons mainly, that's how I learned it

    Basically it's a very common trope that if one wants to exaggerate the stuck up mess of a particular king or queen they go for the we route

    Kinda disappointed his profile did not mention the Grand level thing, but that is to be expected.
    To be fair, being Grand-tier is about having a better Saint Graph right? The kind that they can't have once summoned by humans and our class containers nerf the heroes, so it would make sense for Ivan and Skadi to be nerfed compared to their lostbelts and for Qin to have a normal Saint Graph now

    What annoyed me is how Wu uses the royal We. Sure she started as a consort so the use of (妾) would be what she refers to herself when she's still in that position. But when she took over as the ruling emperor (koutei), she should be using 朕 like Qin and all other emperors instead. It's weird when the version we got is her as the koutei but she still uses 妾. Like, at least make her use the same We like Nero would be somewhat appropriate.

    Hey if Ivan is about Zeus level then we need at least like 10, Servants to beat a myth god? The Golem is worth 5 high rank servants at least right?

    Isn't she summoned at the point before she became empress because it was when she was at her most ambitious and therefore in a way her peak? So referring to herself as an empress would would be incorrect.

    Isn't the whole reason Wu is a loli that she's supposedly summoned at the age she was when she first decided she wanted to aim for the throne? Makes sense she wouldn't style herself as Emperor back then.

    That's Golden Fox tho. And I also have problem with that due to the original usage of 妾 in Chinese and Sino-Vietnamese. She should be using 我 like Tamamo in Extella.

    Yes, because that's how she refers to herself as the koutei in Chinese literature and movies I've seen about her growing up, to emphasize that she is THE koutei, the empress regnant, not empress consort. That and I can't ignore the fact that 妾 also being used as a pronounce for a wife humbly referring to herself in front of her husband, it feels weird. But I guess that detail is lost to Japanese where they simplified the usage of such archaic pronouns. That's why I was shocked to see Qin used 朕, I almost thought they would go with 我 like usual.

    Despite her look she acts like an emperor, and Qin's line for her also gave that impression. For someone who killed ppl if they don't refer to her as the emperor, it's strange for her to use the pronoun that also being double used as one for a wife to humbly refer to herself.

    - - - Updated - - -

    Yes I am nitpicking, but I consumed too many feudal Chinese stuffs growing up that I can't ignore the details.

    You do know 妾 in China back then is mostly used by waifus to humbly call herself in front of her husbando right? That is just weird. If Qin's 朕 did not exist and he also use 我 then I would overlook that because Japan simplifying most of Chinese stuffs anyways, but it exist now which triggered me.

    I really hope they handle the fact that Consort Yu/Hinako is summonable properly. Specially since she remembers everything from Chaldea too, meaning she may have information about the Crypters and Alien god. Heck, that was one of the reasons we brought Kadok with us after LB1, to get more information.

    The same goes for QSH and all the Lostbelt only Servants we've so far summoned. By that I mean how are we even able to summon them at all, after we erased their respective Lostbelts. Three chapters in should be enough to start explaining things a bit.

    No explanation needed because it was already explained b4. SAINT GRAPH RECORDS.

    But yes I agree that we should be gathering info on the alien god, but honestly I won't put any hope considering this fucker acts through the 3 Alter Egos and I would assume only Wodime knew what it looks like.

    Well, every playable Servant in the game is supposed to be in Chaldea apart from Musashi, right? So she SHOULD be there. I guess it's just a matter of whether they feel like addressing that or not at least to the extent of 'sorry I don't know anything I was too busy fangirling a glowing centaur.'

    Buuut is the Wandering Sea actually letting all the Servants wander around like they did in Chaldea? I know we brought Nezha with us but the fact that we ONLY brought Nezha implies limited resources.
