    Ultimately making her Skills more potent than the enemy version.

    Mhmm.

    Yeah. I just think about Prisma if we're thinking of examples for Demi Servant.

    Actually, now that we have Ryoma, we could get Diomedes and Athena in the same fashion

    Maybe with Athena remaining invisible till final ascension

    I love Caenis' design and she's already got tons of fanart I like, so her non-entity status doesn't bother me.
    Diomedes would be a nice addition too but he also suffers from Beloved of Romans. Rather have Teukros.

    Well first off, the game is canon so yes? Even if its a pruned world, it still "happened."

    Second, they've built up the idea of various levels of Servant possession and influence for a while now. In between Nasu's comments about using Heroic Spirits as oracles and FGO's Pseudo Servants, you're gonna bet they're gonna explore everything in between.

    I thought it was a joke pertaining to how Rani controlled him as his Master in Extra.

    Clearly I forgot jokes are top lore and need to reflect on my failings.

    Did you not watch Last Encore?

    It has nothing to do with Extella, they literally are demi-Servants, Lu Bu and Cu are dead and Rin and Rani are using their powers.

    When reading Camelot, I noticed that in the conversation where Xuanzang talks about how rarely Heroic Spirits actually get physically summoned she says that the usual method is more along the line of just, like, channelling the wisdom of Xuanzang to make yourself smarter.

    So it's definitely still a thing, it just doesn't come up much since Servants are a more narratively interesting thing. Does someone pull that trick in Case Files? It feels like that's where they'd do that.

    Demi-servants may not be something supposed to exist but we do have three examples regardless (though the LE ones could be handwaved as lol Mooncell).
    Just in case you're mistaking that = for an equal sign you should know it's a double hyphen

    Yeah. The usage of it is pretty common in JP games due to certain limitations . All characters whose name have 2+ words in Blazblue are always rendered with = between the 2 words.

    They brought one of Nasu's original idea for Extra to life, that is demi servant Rin with Cu power/Rani with Lu Bu power.

    Well, that saves me the trouble of watching the rest of it. Though I have to see what they did with Nursery Rhyme since I heard they changed her a lot too.

    Yeah, the moment I saw her name my first thought was are we Blazblue now?

    Hm, I wonder if we can expect Arjuna=Krishna or Arjuna=Indrajit for Lostbelt 4 then.

    If you're not watching Last Encore for progressively sluttier Rin you're doing it wrong.

    Yeah I was there, my point is that the show didn't convey it properly since everyone I know and most of the people discussing it online didn't get it without an explanation.
