Given that Archer had his own copy of the big red pendant, it stands to reason that Cu incarnated with his own pair of earrings.

The first time we see Bazett looking at her own reflection in the mirror, she doesn't have the earrings on. I think that was a way of holding off on the Lancer revelation. If we had seen them from square one, a lot of people would have been able to guess the connection right away.

[Menwearpink]

To be fair she also isn't freaking out about her arm the first time she looks at her reflection.

Lot of things are funkadoory.

I just realized that Nobu's title is referring to Hajun. Actually, isn't Hajun a part of one of the amalgamation Servants?

No, Hajun is the Japanese name for Mara, which is Beast III, or at least half of it. It’s an important plot point in Ooku. Something something Mara gets weaker because it’s manifested where the Nobunaga fanboys live and they are all like “get out of here, the only Hajun I acknowledge is my Nobbu”.

But at least you got right that it was a Sakuraface.

So how many heroic/divine spirits do we know that qualify as a Saver?

[AmADo VII]

Buddha and Jesus.

[Dullahan]

does buddha also include tamamo

[Menwearpink]

Sure.

But I don't think Ammy = Siddhartha.

[Dullahan]

>he doesn't know

[AAM1232]

Inconceivable!

Insert Shirou's "I panicked too much, I only lost an arm." quote here.

Goes to show that limbs are expendable, cores are not.

So yep, Enforcer dies of blood loss.

And dang it, Kirei, you only need a hand, why tear up the whole arm in the process trying to get her Command Seals?

Most likely Xuanzang. Her 2nd NP is basically limited time Buddha mode.

[Wallacia]

Dullahan. Your replay button is either cursed or broken as it doesn't work for me. tama's curse?

so...isn't Amaterasu a bodhisttva and thus qualify as a Saver.

[Dullahan]

with tamameme you have to always assume that the most retarded thing possible is TM canon

what is the most retarded thing possible, given that the equivalence between Vairocana buddha [dainichi nyorai] and amaterasu has already been made?

answer: the position held in mahayana buddhism that Vairocana is the dharma-body & the historical buddha Siddhartha Gautama is the response-body [nirmanakaya] of Vairocana

so yes tamamo = siddhartha

because this is where you end up when you design characters based off wikipedia summaries and your own dick

Thank you, that was wonderfully beautiful!

Makes me wonder about all the other characers that can qualify as a saver. that class is the opposite of being a Beast class servant. kind of like the Yin and Yang.

Dharmakaya is the least "personal" aspect of a specific Buddha (conceived of as an actor). Saying that Sakyamuni's Dharmakaya is the same as that of Amitabha, or even yours (insofar as all beings are possessed of Buddha-nature, though perhaps unrecognized) isn't really a controversial statement. So equating Amaterasu to Vairocana needn't be read as a stronger statement than "Amaterasu is the manifestation of a Buddha".

[Dullahan]

indeed it needn't. but that is not how TM likes to do things

Following that logic, is Emiya the manifestation of a Buddha?

[Dullahan]

Mu.

A Zen master may well tell you something like that.

It really isn't, no.
