Oh, crap I read proto cu as Perseus

Machines do not lose their worth when a newer model appears.
Their worth (life) ends when humans can no longer bear that purity.
Prolly not, even with him having a corporeal body. But there's no way they could just leave it be if they were made aware of the fact that an extremely powerful Heroic Spirit was physically incarnated into the world, able to manifest without the need for a Master.
Especially when that Heroic Spirit happens to be from the Age of the Gods, with so much Mystery to his legend and so much potential knowledge that most magi would crave.
More of a meta question, has anyone collected the Proto Fragments translations into epubs or PDFs or anything?
Even if they did know, and want to act, was there anything they could even do about it? Evidently they didn't know about Kirei's treachery, otherwise Baz wouldn't've been taken by surprise.
Suppose you're right. That being said, if they knew exactly what he was planning to do--using the Grail to cull humanity just so he can rule over the survivors--I imagine they'd want to try to do SOMETHING to stop him. Perhaps try to at least prepare for the next Grail War by gathering suitable catalysts and selecting ideal Master candidates to have a fighting chance at stopping him.
Of course, I imagine some of the more... *ahem* morally ambiguous (read: mustache-twirlingly eeeeevil) magi might actually find their own, twisted merits in his goals of effectively destroying the modern era, perhaps believing it would be something of a return to the Age of the Gods. And therefore gather catalysts and select Master candidates to help him use the Grail.
On an unrelated note, could Iskandar and Alex be summoned as separate Servants in the same War?
What are onis in the Nasuverse? I've heard before that onis in Japanese folklore are just humans that are born monsters or that do evil, but that doesn't seem to be the case here.
Shuten, who seems to be the most oni-like of all of them from her depiction in FGO, is either the daughter of Yamata-no-Orochi with a human or just a descendant of the god.
Ibaraki's mom was a noble Oni, but Ibaraki is also Shuten's step-sibling (or at least she thinks so) through The Great God Ibuki (who is Yamata-no-Orochi) so that means she's a child of a god and an oni.
Raikou is the child of the god Gozu Tennou, but her materials call her the child of an oni... so was Gozu Tennou an oni and a god? And why is Raikou not a full oni (rather, she has an oni side that even managed to cut-off through meditation) when Shuten, also possibly a child of a god and a human, a full oni?
Kintoki is also the child of a dragon god with an oni, but his oni blood never come into play despite at all besides a footnote on his Madness Enhancement. One would think that, with both parents being supernatural, he would be more of an oni than Raikou and Shuten.
Everything seems incredibly inconsistent. Is it just a feature of Japanese folklore that TM never bothered to mess with?
I know Tsukihime talks about different kinds of oni, so I imagine the topic was better explained there.
Shimousa already touched on this. There are 3 kinds: http://forums.nrvnqsr.com/showthread...=1#post3009882
Guess I should have paid more attention to Shimosa, I really don't remember that.
So the first is delinquents, the second is strong supernatural people and the third is fictional oni but also... is it people becoming oni by taking the form of grudges, or grudges themselves materializing as oni?
Probably both?
here is a list of my servant sheets(new and improved format for my servant sheets)
Come explore the White Library, and reach the bottom of this Abyss
Fate / White Memoria
What the hell...
Oni are weird
Thanks for the help.
old Japan was the place where regular human can turn into yokai/oni because of bad deeds so.
need help explaining something to a friend.
how would you best describe the relationship mentioned in Musashi's profile between the concept of "One", "Zero" and [ ] ?
