    Yeah, there was a book titled “Lakshmibai, the Indian Joan D’Arc”.
    There are also books and articles titled:
    - Agueda Kahabagan, the Tagalog Joan of Arc
    - Laura Second, the Canadian Joan D’Arc
    - America's Joan of Arc: The Life of Anna Elizabeth Dickinson
    - Countess Emilia Plater: the Polish Joan of Arc
    - Maria Quitéria: Brazilian Joan of Arc

    Just so you know from where Takeuchi will meme you next.

    It feels kind of weird to me if Nasu wrote a midpoint chapter and not the climax ones, considering how part 1's workload was spread out.

    Nasu for LB4 because he wants to, then he writes LB5 since it's the "climax" to the crypter fight, someone else writes 6 and 7 because they're already collapsing LBs and Nasu still writes epilogues for all the chapters so whatever big reveal happens in LB7 Nasu makes it a cliffhanger in the epilogue and then we get an unannounced "epilogue" fight ala Salomon written by Nasu.

    Easy.

    Well, it's fitting for Nasu to write the last chapter of the year, isn't it?

    The reason why Alterjuna is born is pretty simple. Arjuna feels absurd that the pointless but bloody war starts and continues on for insignificant reasons, causing death of famed warriors and soldiers, eventually spreading to the civilians on both sides. He understand this is born from the evils of the incompleteness of men, and finds it ridiculous that all know about this but none tried to remedy the situation. Thus, he decided that he, the greatest sinner has the responsibility to step up and deal with this situation, but he slowly lost his humanity as he take in more Gods and eventually become what he is, dooming the world. Limbo only give advice at the right time to speed up the process of reincarnation where the world cannot bear.

    Just finished the LB
    I think it's Nasu too. The first hint was when you first see the Kali and someone mentions they're demons and gordolf says "oh they're not what the church classify as demons they're Indian demons." That seems to me a very Nasu detail to put in there. It's like he put it in there for himself because we've encountered so many "demons" in GO we pretty much know they're not the sixth imaginary element stuff and usually just whatever.
    And there are some very common Nasu motifs in this LB.

    Also I highly doubt any of the other writers could write Jinako and Vich's distinct speech and personality that convincing.

    The fact that Nasu went out of his way to write Ooku just to set up this should make it a pretty obvious deduction

    Also I love Pepe lol. As pretty Ophelia / Hinako are they are absolutely pale when compared to him in term of entertainment

    I don't really care who writes the chapter as long as it is a good read.

    So the split from panhuman history happened during the Kurukshetra War?

    More like after. His side won, but he realized the bloodshed will never stop as the cycle of revenge continues on, and finally decides to do something about it.

    It's more that as he took in more and more divinities, the "Black" (as in the name of the title Final "Black" God) personality of him that he called "Krishna" in his interlude became the main personality and took over, the personality that Arjuna always feel ashamed of and things got worse. But at the end of the day, while being called "Arjuna who merged with all gods and transcended all", the fact that the final fragment of humanity of Arjuna's main personality still remains ended up making him an imperfect god, he ended up being "one who acquired great power but still human at core". And because of that, he is a lonely human who happens to acquire great power, thus cannot win against a human who are together (Karna with the help of everyone). Basically power of friendship >>>> all odds.

    Narita is talking about Watcher Asclepius not reflecting the personality and appearance of the Asclepius that got summoned in LB4.

    So Berserker really is like all the other Alters? Twisted and corrupted, but fundamentally still the same person deep down.
