    How long would these mangas be anyway? Single Vol? Or will they try to flesh out some more things and make it bigger. Personally I'm in favor of the second though I think it's the least likely but we see.

    I think it's a regular serialization.

    It's so weird that they're releasing all these chapters at the same time, even if I know their target is just FGO players who already know the story anyway, alienating potential costumers like this is something I really can't even imagine happening outside of Japan.

    Maybe they want hook people up and make them play games to make sense out of mangled plot.

    It's not that odd, it's the same thing that Higurashi and Umineko manga did.

    Because FGO is still trying to pretend you can clear the Remnants in any order and it wont affect your understanding of the story?

    "I understood that reference" - JetKinen after getting some small snippet of this event after having read Kinnikuman not too long ago.

    Boundlessness A: The boundless light shining on everything through the whole world. The golden aurora that will destroy the Tenma.


    Do you guy known what the skill mean? I guess that, since Tenma literally mean Heavenly Demon, so it's related to the concept of Original Sin, about the evil and impurity under the heaven, that's mean that the golden light is related to the "Infinite light" Okita shoot out in her NP to extinguish thing that isn't belong to this world (or in other word, isn't belong to Heaven), in relate to her role as a Counter Guardian. It's also obviously a Buddhist thing, and also related to the Sky of Nothingness where she dragged her opponent into, but I can't guess anything else.


    And it fall to what kind of manipulation?

    Wait for mats.

    As for possible religious references, I think it's mot likely just referring to her blasting Mara - Akechi with it in the event which mirrors Gautama defeating Mara.

    If you go by Shingon Buddhism, the first line is literally the description of Vairocana Buddha, but I think it makes the most sense that it's referencing the light from Amida Buddha instead because she believed Amida saved her life from her illness which allowed her to continue living, so she prays to him (he is the equivalent of Vairocana in non-Esoteric schools). Also it was stated that the "evil" being destroyed here is not the devil, or pure evil, it's actually the evil-tainted human heart that is suffering in the depths of hell, basically the target of elimination is not Tenma himself but the victims of his influences (Mara-Akechi in this case). The concept of "evil" and "impurity" in Buddhism is not as clear as other religions, so you won't find things like angels vs demons here.

    So Spartacus stopped that meteor by crashing into it and used his Noble Phantasm to counter it. He didn't even hesitate. Where did the meteor come from though? Did Qin Shing Huangdi just make it and sent at the village?

    Red Hare:
    Amongst men, Lu Bu, amongst horses, Red Hare! This form came to be because of my glorious martial valour through the union of man and horse, known to every household!
    In other words, this is the so-called Innocent Monster.
    So that's why he's a horse.

    That's a piece of his satellite ring.

    I don't understand, is it just the horse or not? And why is it the that way that is?
