Actually the prayer she said in that ascension is directed towards Myouken: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/My%C5%8Dken
He's basically Shinto creator god Amenominakanushi, also known as Suiten (the one in Tamamo's NP name, aka Varuna in Hinduism), the equivalent of the Root or YHVH. Afterall 天帝 is not just the title of Taishakuten but also used to refer to YHVH.

Right, I mixed up the meaning of 天帝 in my head. Thanks for the clarification. As always, it is most helpful.

I think it's kinda funny how Julius Caesar is the most famous Roman despite not being a Roman Emperor.

That's because for his sucessors he was the first Caesar (I mean, they make his name their royal title) and so the writers that worked for them present him as the first and best, their model alongside Augustus, aka Suetonius "The Twelve Caesars"

Mythological japanese servants aren't cute

U ever wonder how many qt girls there were through history but we’ll never know because people were so bad at drawing? Makes u think

[Endabend]

Japanese Servants have always been my favorites, so I'm glad we've gotten so many now-- especially in particular the Heian Servants (specifically the Shitennou) and Keikenchi's Servants-- so I'm always looking forward to seeing more pop up. I'm still looking forward to Seimei, Tsuna, Hideyoshi and Mori Nagayoshi popping up sometime.

I'd like to see Nobukatsu and Mitsuhide playable as well... particularly Mitsuhide since I'm interested in seeing how he uses kodoku in battle.

Musashi's battle continuation is more like disengage lol

[Marros]

(look at how wanked Artoria is).

Is she though? I mean Artoria herself? She's hardly weak, sure, but the more absurd parts of her power come more from her Sword/Lance being ridiculously powerful. As opposed to Musashi who seems to be powerful regardless of whatever two swords she happens to be wielding at the time.

Her sword/lance being ridiculously powerful is my point. It's annoying when Surtr's sword which brings Ragnarok to the Norse god is compared to Rhongo to me, because it's not even what King Arthur is known for. I can tolerate Excalibur being the planet's anti-alien shenanigan cuz Nasu is Arthurian fan for the longest time so yeah I know he wants to wank it to the max, but I personally don't think Rhongo should be that ridiculous when Excalibur is already that much. And in the midst of all that he had to nerf Indian heroes.

Can't wait for Anti-Fortress Carwennan tbh

[castor212]

for what its worth nerfing indian heroes is kinda a necessity

otherwise every grail war ever would just be an arms race to get indian catalyst with the end result of ground zero for each war

[Spartacus]

Do the reverse, wank other myths to their level

[AAM1232]

To be honest, the Indian heroes have some other problems (to me, not necessarily everyone) apart from nerfs to the astras/NPs (which isn't really that important).

[Rafflesiac]

Vasavi Shakti isn't even a World Pillar, pathetic toothpick to Saikyari Rhongomyniad

[castor212]

but howd you know it wouldnt be one

[Rafflesiac]

That would require Nasu to remember that they existed after going LOLTREESXD and there's no way in hell that FGO will ever reduce its stakes enough to handle them.

thats a great summary. good read

then again i personally think the actual nioh stand's 4 slash is kinda unnecessary. or overdoing it.
just making it stand all solemn behind her while she does sword

beam

pressure

would do much better imho

also i cant help but connect how the whole mythological of tenjin reaching to isanagi as japan and samurai's origin kinda fits snugly with musashi's whole deal of reaching zero, on top of it being a literal Buddha slash by reaching state of zero felt fitting with the whole buddhism enlightenment thing as well
dunno if thats just me or they do mean it to feel analogous

but if they do mean it like that then touche

[Altaris]

Well at least they make VS India's super sekret weapon to blast Velber.

It's ... something

The 4 slashes represent the 4 things (karma, ill fate, curses, tragedy) the sword of Buddha will cut in the NP description tho.

The artist designed him with the idea of a "Knight Hassan" in mind plus shinigami (grim reaper).

Yeah, I can see that with how he has a shield in his last ascension and with his sword. Thanks.
