    I haven't read notes in a few years but I only remember him using the one. Ok Nasu.

    He indeed only uses the Original in the story, and Notes's glossary does not mention Barrel Replica. So I will guess that this was only considered afterwards.

    I can never 100% keep this straight, but do Crest Worms kill men faster than women, and do women have a higher chance of surviving and integrating them because the worms go for the uterus and feed off sexual arousal and the uterine wall?

    Exactly as you said.

    Was Kingu in Babylonia actually a servant, or were they counted as an avenger only because of gameplay?

    IIRC Kingu is just Enkidu's physical corpse revived with a new software, and the Class change to Avenger was him using Enkidu's shapeshifting to make him self similar to Gorgon's Saint Graph on the inside (but not on the outside so the sprite men wouldn't need to draw a new snake Enkidu for this fight).

    Those are lust worms. They seem to be a subspecies of Crest worm that Zouken created.
    The floor of the secret room is wriggling around.
    The worms must be active right now, as leech-like insects are writhing all over the floor.
    Matou Shinji knows what these worms are.
    These are lust worms that his grandfather, Matou Zouken, raises that love human blood, semen, and marrow.

    Once swarmed by these lust worms, men will have their spine crushed, brain sucked, and will be made into a cripple.
    The worms will transform when attacking a woman, so that they are only able to violate her nerves. They will spread their tentacles all over her body and devour her spirit.

    The lust worms will wet the woman's skin with their mucus, excite and destroy her central nerves of pleasure, and satisfy their hunger.
    It must be their instincts, as the worms seem to love the woman's womb. They do not eat female flesh, but seek the organs within them.

    They give the woman huge enough orgasms to fry her brain, and they go into her body to devour her placenta.
    Unwilling to eat human flesh, the worms have only one way to get what they desire.
    As a result, the woman's mind and body are completely violated and destroyed.
    The name "lust worm" must come from such characteristics.
    Normal Crest worms don't do anything but act as an ankle monitor. The acting as circuits etc etc are all things Zouken added on.

    …I shake my head.
    Sanshia bug said to inhabit a human body that reports the person's evil deeds to the Judge of Hell.
    I've heard of sanshi, but I've never heard of a crest worm.


    "So you do not know. Well, it was originally just a harmless parasite.
    It's a familiar that lives off of its host's magical energy. It is of the lowest rank of familiars, as it does nothing beyond telling its master whether or not its host still lives."


    "……I see. So it's like a monitoring device.
    So Zouken's monitoring Sakura with that?"

    Should I read or watch anything else besides Fate/Zero before checking out The Case Files of Lord El-Melloi II? I see a few volumes are fan-translated.

    There are guest characters from other works like Kara no Kyoukai and FGO, but I don't think knowing too much about them is necessary to understand their roles in Case Files. At most you'll miss a few references.

    Was Medea's subterranean city-temple something they invented for DEEN anime specifically, or it was "always supposed to be there, but was never shown in the VN" kind of situation?

    It was just the subterranean cavern that is already in Fuyuki, that she had turned into her Workshop. Nothing strange about that since the entrance is right under the temple. If anything it's weird that she bothered with the temple to begin with instead of camping in the cavern the entire time, I guess Kojiro wouldn't have bothered to guard the cavern.

    I'm pretty sure it's like, her dad died when she was really young and that's when her mom went all in on the Arthur stuff?

    Why is the Second Owner of a land called that? Is there any meaning to it besides Nasu thought stringing together English words sounded cool?

    The Association actually owns the land and the second owner manages it. Therefore second.

    you know how a protection racket works?
