Anyone that remembers E Pluribus Unum, is there a scene where it's revealed that the Founding Fathers and/or other presidents died to imbue Edison with the strength he had? Asking because I've seen this mentioned a few times now, but don't remember that ever being discussed.

トーマス・アルバ・エジソンはアメリカ出身の発明家である。
１９世紀に生まれた人間としては世界有数の知名度を誇るが、その新しさ故に、サーヴァントとしての力量はや や劣る。
今回の召喚ではそれを補強するため、アメリカという国家を支えた歴代大統領が「エジソン」という概念を補強 する一種の礼装として扱われた。Hope that's what you were looking for.Thomas Alva Edison is an inventor originated from America.
As a person born in the 19th Century, he boasts worldwide popularity, but his capacity as a Servant is somewhat inferior due such modernity.
In order to compensate for that in this summoning, the successive generations of Presidents that supported the nation called America are being treated as a kind of Craft Essence that reinforces the concept called "Edison".

Yeah, I remember it being a channeling sort of deal for the presidents, but nothing about the founding fathers being mentioned.
Your second fight with edison when you got to convince him to help you.
It's just the presidents
Though abandoned, forgotten, and scorned as out-of-date dolls, they continue to carry out their mission, unchanged from the time they were designed.
Machines do not lose their worth when a newer model appears.
Their worth (life) ends when humans can no longer bear that purity.
Oh whoops, I didn't realise that some of the Founding Fathers weren't Presidents.
My foreign ignorance is showing.

So the presidents died or just the weird Spirit Bomb channeling thing?
I would assume some sort of "spirits of dead comrades encouraging/empowering from beyond the grave" deal given many presidents died long before Edison was even born. Unless they were all summoned into the Singularity and sacrificed themselves to power him up, which would admittedly be kind of cool in a "WTF" sort of way, but I am pretty sure it was the former, since I don't recall any mention of the other presidents being summoned.
Hrm, either the english translation really botched that bit, or people being mistaken because of vague summaries + combining them with what's mentioned in Babylonia.
"We are lending our power to you, Edison! Washington!"
"Lincoln!"
"Roosevelt!"
"The other Roosevelt!"
"Madison!"
"Jackson!"
"Grant!"
"Kennedy!"
"Carter!"
"Wait, you aren't even dead yet!"
"Johnson!"
"Garfield!"
"Nixon!"
"Ummm... Maybe it's better if you sit this one out, Rich..."
"Van Buren!"
"Polk!"
"Truman!"
"Trump! Um, we're using this power to build a wall and keep the Servants out, right?"
"Ford!"
"Reagan!"
"Ronald! We're charging power THIS way, not THAT one!"
By their powers combined he is Captain Presi-king!
There were also two Harrisons are president IIRC, though you'd be forgiven for not knowing that. One of them is bascly the answer to a trivia question
And of course, there's been two Bush as well.
You also need Grant, Hoover, Wilson, Garfield, Johnson (the guy right after Lincoln) and so on.
Also apparently Miyu is a 4-star Servant?
Ive been thinking
And if a certain white clothed sensei, who canbe used to refer doctors, ends up being a redhead, and it took several LBs to reveal his identity witha slow and penetrating storytelling with real reasoning as to why he is alive
I think id be okay with him alive

Actually, wait.
The mysterious helper is Roman. Lostbelt Roman, who dies once we fix Earth.
I'm still expecting mystery guy in the opening to be Marisbury, not Roman.
Marisbilly blames us on his daughter's death against any and all logic and this is all part of his plan to kill us in the most convoluted possible way.
