Fate/Requiem (Spoilers Thread)

[asterism42]

Nzambi is interesting to me. Is it really true that's the origin of the word zombie?

.

The English word "zombie" is first recorded in 1819, in a history of Brazil by the poet Robert Southey, in the form of "zombi", actually referring to the Afro-Brazilian rebel leader named Zumbi and the etymology of his name in "nzambi". The Oxford English Dictionary gives the origin of the word as West African and compares it to the Kongo words "nzambi" (god) and "zumbi" (fetish).

That's fetish as in object of worship, not weird sexual thing.

I'm worried that the side characters won't get that much exploration and theres a ton of them.

They're just baiting you so you then have to roll for them in Grand Order, after making you wait months for them.

I'd totally be down for Galahad Alter to show up in F/GO. He looks so cool.

[mami-kouga]

Galahad Alter for white day please. I mean, they can't rerun Arthur's banner only three years in a row right? RIGHT?????

[Lord C]

I hope he has a better relationship with Lancelot

Oh the Wandering Jew thing was legit, that's really cool. I hope he becomes more important later instead of just being a one off

Would they really put a character from Requiem into FGO before Requiem is done with the character? I don't think we'll be seeing Requiem Servants in FGO anytime soon.

I could see them putting one or two Servants from Requiem as NPCs to advertise the novel series and then later making them playable after Requiem is done with them.

After reading through the summaries, I'm mildly interested.

Will consider if I should pick up the book if it gets more interesting.

Oh God, please not another Strange/Fake situation where the whole thing crawls painfully for years while the author sits on top of the mine lode constantly going 'nuh uh uh, yuh can't touch this'.

[pinetree]

I would rather an author gets to actually use the character they're writing however they like to instead of being forced to endorse their implementation into FGO, spoiling abilities, character development, or otherwise.

From the comments of that reddit summary:

Spoiler:

Chapter 5, Page 215 to 218

Erice has the ability to synchronize with the evil spirits residing within her, and displayed part of the ability to deal with servants who went out of control. When doing so, blood from her thumbs from both hands will start dripping. Her blood color when doing so will be blackish red.


Erice can utilize the corrupted blood caused by spiritual disease generated from her arm to form a dense, glossy black "branch" looking weapon. In one of the battles, she had her fingertips generate those branch and extend it, piercing a stray servant's inner body to grab their Saint Graph's core. By separating the core away from the servant, the servant will dissipate and can no longer maintain their form, and the "branch" will have the Saint Graph core assimilate with the branch as a part of it. Doing so does not return the servant back to the Throne, but the master who lost the servant will still have their Command Seals recovered and can possibly still summon the same servant, although the same servant summoned will have all their memories wiped clean.

Another comment with important info adding to this

Spoiler:

There are also other factors in how she can deal with the servants as well.

As citizens of Mosaic City can now summon servants and the existence of them are now commonplace, there is a difference between citizens who didn't undergo training to utilize their magic circuits properly (meaning the citizens who own servants are those with their magic circuits laying completely dormant), and magus like Rin who underwent extensive training to do so. Servants' mana source that allow them to utilize their magecraft or ability mainly comes from the Holy Grail through the city's leyline. Therefore they aren't in the condition to use Noble Phantasms that utilize magical resources way beyond their Master's limits, basically functioning under a great handicap as the result. They can STILL activate them regardless, but not without putting their master into absolute danger. But living their daily normal lives will not pose any problems since the Holy Grail provides them with such basics. This is taken from Chapter 4, page 196.


If the servants are handicapped, that makes Erice dealing with them a lot more easier. Erice is also trained and a complete professional, so this gives her a huge upper hand in dealing with the servants as well.

I can see them adding the servants that were just a reference, a cameo or so on, while the main servants that serves the plot and whose identities and abilities are spoilers would have to wait

[dig]

Kundry seems like Kiyohime levels of yandere delusion.

Also, 14 years old magus can kill servants, heck is even her job...Barthomeloi/Narbareck levels of prodigy there.

Even if those servants have most of their Noble Phantasms sealed and trashy masters holding them down, it's still remarkable.

Eurice SR Welfare in FGO when ???

[Inuhanyou]

Excess? What Excess!? : The series

[ballinamon]

Seems interesting. Something I'm very interested in is who is the responsible of this world, hence who was the winner?

so proud of my elephant boy even with his limited screentime

[Iceblade44]

Now I'm just wondering if being a zombie had any effect on his battle power. With you know his fight with Longinus. It looks like he's a pretty bara man with a jovial personality like Iskandar huh, surprised he doesnt have an Eye patch. Ironic he got beaten by a Roman again

Glad that Longinus has been confirmed to be a very strong Servant, also seeing the comments people are disappointed with El Cid huh, he got out quick. Though that just means that he can probably do another debut later. At least TM are aware of him.
