Come to think of it, the very concept of Lostbelts is Nasu being on max edge.
And yep, can definitely see the quote "To attain happiness, you must cease being human" here.
Dang it, Lostbelts. Even Fou is now feeding on that concept at that moment.

GO kind of has to glorify the past and/or the present because the future is always destroyed through one mechanism or another. Hard to glorify something that no longer exists.
I don't think Nasu intended this in FSN but he's since then stated that Fate is centered around Heroic spirits. What you described there is the logical conclusion of that. Incarnations of heroes as a central focus make more sense in a story about "affirming history" as teleology than in a game of Battle Royale. In this sense FGO is more Fate-ish than FSN where you could change the servants for "special familiars with no link to history/myths" and still be able to tell the same story. This could be a Fate only thing and maybe he'll write differently if he chooses to write more non-Fate stuff after Tsukihime R.
Fate is centered around HS but they will never be main character.
That makes sense in my opinion. It's not Cu Cuchulain and Shakespeare. It's Hero Cu Cuchulain and historically significant playwright Shakespeare. Maybe I'm giving this too much thought but I see it like an action anime depiction of someone going in a library and reading about these people. You have alienation from history caused by knowing about death as Goetia. Why does the past or future matter to me? You overcome it by making bonds with significant people from the past who like you knew they were going to die. Then you have why should it have happened like this and not like that instead with the Lostbelts. Anyway the point is that HS here are reaffirming tools for the person using them to know or reinforce their place in history like an analogy for reading about them in a library or being educated about them in school etc. It's why HS have a more important place in a story about human history. Whereas in FSN they were like a rhetorical mirror for Shirou "what does it mean to be a hero or an anti-hero" "what does it mean to have a wish and what does having it granted mean?" etc.
In this context I guess making a Melty Blood/FGO crossover makes more sense. In Melty, you're not only kind of ruining the future of Tsukihime, but the story itself is eschatological, much like the Dark Six was meant to be.
Yeah, I'm saying the concept might be less stupid than initially thought.
The actual contents, though.
in many ways contemporary TM is the polar opposite and mirror image of the isekai trend. they both exhibit a lack of faith in the future, but in wholly contradictory ways
You can think of GO as an isekai. The only world that is completely avoided is MC's own world back home.
has anyone watch this movie?
it's children movie but many reviewers said this movie was Kinoko Nasu, Fate Extra, Kamen Rider Ryuuki or even Ghost in the Shell.
That’s too many titles for me to trust the descriptors.

In the newest Turas manga chapter it says recreating the legend of the NP can increase its mystery.
i.e. David uses his sling NP against Herc. It blows off his head even if the NP is C rank. So that would be a C to A rank increase.
So then, doesn't that mean Atalanta's Phoebus Catastrophe is super effective against...
Quote:
By sending a letter affixed to an arrow requesting divine protection with the "Celestial Bow" received from the guardian deity Artemis, in the next turn a rain of arrows will downpour and perform an attack on all units.
The letter on the arrow will randomly reach either Artemis or Apollo. If it reaches Artemis then all women will become targets, while if it reaches Apollo all men will be targeted. This Noble Phantasm is associated with the episode in which Artemis and Apollo shot to death all the children of the fertile woman Niobe, because she boasted that she was greater than their mother Leto because "Leto had fewer children".
...children?Quote:
Phoebus Catastrophe. The Anti-Army Noble Phantasm of Archer of Red, Atalanta. Since her other Noble Phantasm is an unmanageable Mad Enhancement-type Noble Phantasm, a Master would have to make Atalanta fight using this Noble Phantasm as the focal point in order to actually make proper use of her.
She makes a prayer to both Apollo and Artemis, which then causes countless arrows to shoot down from the sky. Its other name, “Soul-Chasing and Life-Stealing Sword”, is incorrect. Also, in [Complete Material], it was written that it could only attack either men or women at a single time, but that made it too hard to use so it was revised.
Isn't it sad Atalanta.
Makes sense.
we're structuralists only when we feel like it
If hitler exists in TM there's a non-zero probability of him being a tamamo in disguise.
thought for the day
Koha-Ace's fake Hitler always had "his" face shadowed to hide his Tamamo face. Everything makes sense now.
P much the good ol Caliburn stuff.
Sounds par for the course for Ata. In which case would it mean it's super effective against Jack who is all about the dead of all those kids? Hm.Quote:
