    I think Avicebron is okay, he needs a redemption arc similar to Paracelsus and LB 1 was a good opportunity. Plus the Golem was put into pretty good use imo

    Atalanter is completely unnecessary. Patxii was all it needed for the emotional impact of killing off the Lostbelt. We don't need a ragey eposition edgy cat with crotch tattoo to tell us how we should feel

    Avicebron fits perfectly in LB1 IMO. If the world is dying, of course its last effort to survive will give you the most suitable guy to do the job. His intelligence, the golems and Adam are crucial to victory. Atlante Alter is meh though.

    I just hand wave attribute it to the Counter Force already glitching out because of the situation & summoning stray Servants wherever despite them not being the best choices in the area/era...

    ...which admittedly isn't much considering some of the mish mash selections from past singularities.

    Does that make Mycroft the Mothership Commander Supreme Intelligence or something like that? C'moooooooon, TM bastards, don't forget Mycroft... come to think about it, Irene Adler would be nice to see to. Holmes is so untouchable he needs someone who can match him and bring him down a peg.

    Sorry, Papa, I love you and all but you don't quite qualify.

    Avicebron was great in LB1 because having the first Servant we summon after losing everything be Solomon is genius.

    Irene was mentioned on LB 2 and 3 already, if the teasing continues, who knows we may see her

    Predictions for Grand Servants:

    Grand Saber: Artoria
    Grand Archer: Heracles
    Grand Lancer: Achilles / Izanagi / Odin
    Grand Rider: Odysseus
    Grand Berserker: Arcueid
    It looks like it's time to operate, Doctor-style. Because Doctor is my first name; not because I'm a doctor.

    because I'm not.

    Holmes subtly referred to Irene in more than one occasions. I absolutely loved that particular talk between Skadi and Holmes when she commented on his eyes.

    As for LB3, I think the chapter did a good job in fleshing out characters on our side, particularly Keika and Spartacus, and also made QSH a memorable character to a certain degree.
    On the other hand, the portrayal of Gao was somewhat lacking while Liangyu left zero impression on me even though I kinda like her design

    By the way, I have some questions about the New Year's event.
    1. What's the connection between Kojiro and the seashell? Why did it come into his possession? Is it because of his connection with killing the swallows?
    2. Is there really a folklore character named 紅閻魔? I'm asking this because I was looking for more info on her original lore, but the search result was like 100% FGO-related. Does the connection between 舌切り雀 and Hell (including 閻魔王) exist in the original lore or any of its variations?

    Is this some sort of new bait?

    Grand Berserker is Samson, mark my words.

    Grand Saber might be Papa Uther.

    1. What's the connection between Kojiro and the seashell? Why did it come into his possession? Is it because of his connection with killing the swallows?
    Seashell?

    The 'hystorical' Kojiro died on a beach, didn't he? Where Musashi killed him with the oar? Granted, it's not the same guy, but...

    On an island in the middle of a river, not the beach, although there's not much "history" to Kojirou to begin with.

    Also,I think there was something about a seashell in the first summer event.

    As cool as it would be to see Uther as a Servant, I really can't see him being the Grand Saber. What would even be his Noble Phantasm?

    I think it'd be more fitting for Grand Berserker to be an actual Viking berserker, due to the name connection. Also because Viking Servants are super underrepresented so far.

    Actually, maybe the Grand Archer should be Simo Häyhä.
    It looks like it's time to operate, Doctor-style. Because Doctor is my first name; not because I'm a doctor.

    because I'm not.

    I know this link isn't from reddit but A: translations for either story content or character mats are non-existant at this point in time and B: there's some new info on the nature of the Enma-Tei and similar locations, not to mention the idea of how Chaldea intents to refill the box at that shrine.

    EDIT:

    Here's some more info:
