The cameo Servants are better. At least Shiki/Illya/Irisviel don't try to disguise their inclusion though some ridiculously flimsy excuse.
Well, they do. But it's better than them pretending to be a more interesting divinity/hero.
Really? I at least like that there's SOME justification for the inclusion of the divine and hero pseudo-Servants, and in the case of the Divine ones, I like the way they've been presented. The cameo ones just, I don't know, they just stretch the limits of what's summonable and how the Throne works or whatever.
This discussion is honestly bringing me to the pits of despair. I don't know what to think now. Is there no hope?
Fujino's thing is actually more lore-related than most. Zhuge's is actually really the least commented-on. Not a god, not an urban legend, not a rumor; not commented to be a wraith like Kojirou, a not-quite-Heroic Spirit like Muramasa, Phantom Spirit like doge, Heroic-Spirit-in-waiting like a Hassan, or anything like that. He just is.
Localizationing stuff
As a Zero secondary, I'd say it worked. Seeing Waver be somewhat of a true badass is just awesome. Sure he's a support Servant, but still, way more badass than his human self.
Also, after seeing the beach volleyball match in Emiya Chi no Gohan, I now want a spinoff in which Servant pairs engage each other in extreme beach volleyball, reference totally intended.
it is
also it is all we know of him in terms of personality
would you rather have me comment on how vacuous he comes across as?

when you have stuff like sigurd punching daggers, i would much rather have that be done by someone with Sigurd's powers with their own personal twist on things rather than butchering the actual character
I'd rather you realise that for some if not most of the crypters, its hard to shoehorn them into something based on personality if we don't have much of that

unironically I would like to hear more speculah on Daybit and Tree miko's shared characteristic
So, TM's rendition of a historical character is bad, but TM's rendition of a historical person along with one of TM's characters is good?
Maybe cause, you know, there's no logic at all to begin with![]()
I think he just had a bad day.
