    It's a bit similar to Benkei/Kaison's whole deal, but I don't think people would complain about repeating that schtick in reverse. (Not to mention that, well, Benkei is Benkei and isn't exactly the most popular Servant.)

    Bankei is pretty well known in Japan, and Seimei is even more popular.

    Benkei's well-known, yes, but Musashibo Benkei is actually Hitachibo Kaison - who is also famous, if slightly less so.
    I more meant that the art, personality and mechanics of the character aren't all that endearing and memorable, though. He's not exactly as unmemorable as Erik Bloodaxe, but I still suspect that few people would complain if they repeated his impersonation schtick with someone else (e.g. Douman-as-Seimei). (Or, y'know, released the actual Benkei. Maybe alongside Yoshitsune.)

    Isn't Douman an Alter-Ego because that's just how Apostles are?

    Maybe, but do note that Tamamovitch's trailer had her as an Assassin and Douman's one still had him as Alter-Ego. Maybe their classes change when they're summoned?

    Well there's always in story stuff that affects what you gatcha
    like how Hessian Lobo changed from Rider into Avenger

    Their worth (life) ends when humans can no longer bear that purity.

    See Cat. Originally Alter Ego in CCC.

    For the most part, like You said, the version we get to summon should be the one after events in each story chapter unfolded.

    now that we got more info on what kind of Elemental senpai (Yu) is, calling her Chinese TA aka TA knock off feels wrong.

    she doesn't have vampiric impulse and she eats by draining energy from living things around (like Goku's spirit ball).

    really? It laid out the similarities for me, being TA like but not actually a TA.

    For neither is blood necessary nutrition, they're both spirits of nature. The distinction is what blood sucking does.
    For Yu it's distasteful but if necessary a hp/mp potion. No psychological component?
    TAs we of course know have the vampiric urge/addiction problem. But I don't recall mention of getting power or benefit from it.

    True Ancestors are copies of Crimson Moon made by Gaia, vampiric impulse came from CM. so they are not purely earth made being.

    I am saying Yu is the real spirit of nature/elemental born from Gaia.

    The weird part is that she is still considered a vampire anyway. And she is directly called a True Ancestor in the main story, even if her profile later made the distinction.
