Didn't he want to infinitely slow down his own time/infinitely accelerate the universe, not the other way around?

If that were the case, he wouldn't need a long lifespan for the experiment.

He'd still need a long lifespan to be able to complete the theory behind the experiment, though.

IIRC his plan was basically

>Set up time manipulation field
>Accelerate time infinitely
>Witness end of the universe
>Reach Root

Since he'd be inside the accelerated time bubble, he needed to be immortal to survive.

My basic complaint about Times is that it's ugly. I mean really ugly for a typeface that's supposed to be very readable. The lowercase letters in Times are too narrow, spaced poorly, and the serifs are too sharp. The fact that it's supposed to be a newspaper face is the excuse for these things, but that's not enough of an excuse. Newspapers want to get the most amount of letters on a line that they can so Times was drawn narrow. But it's an ugly narrow, not an attractive one. It looks like a student's first attempt at designing a traditional looking typeface before they've developed an eye for the details. Something which Morison was supposed to have as typographic consultant to British Monotype. And the angle of stress isn't consistent. Back in the 1500-1600s a designer could get away with that, but not in the 20th century. It's just sloppy design. The stress problem wouldn't be so bothersome if the lower case 'e' weren't so far off from the other letters. It sticks out like a bent nail in vinyl siding. Ugly on top of tacky about every fourth or fifth word. And Times has the worst looking letter 'G' on the planet. The horizontal serif is much too high making the letter look deformed like a bulldog with way too much chin. Just lowering the horizontal a little makes it much more attractive. Of course the uppercase 'T' just makes me cringe every time I see it. It's too stiff and haughty looking. The uppercase 'E' needs work as well. The bottom serif angles out too much making the letter look like it needs serious orthodontia, and the center bar sticks forward too far as well.

Filling in for leo?

He did want to accelerate time so he could reach the end of the universe, but it would have taken hundreds of years to complete, so he needed to become a Dead Apostle as it would be he would be able to live that long.

Time would have been accelerated outside the bubble, so he could reach the end of time instantly.

What's the meaning of this supposed to be.

That you couldn't miss the point harder.

Norikata didn't want to become a Dead Apostle, he just wanted to be immortal, or at least incapable of aging. He considers Dead Apostles failures because there's actually a condition to their immortality, that being vampiric urges and the need for DNA. We've stressed this for last 70 posts or so and it completely goes over your head.

And no, time would accelerate INSIDE the Bounded Field.

When in doubt, use Times.

Git gud scrub. Real men use Garamond.

Medusa from Soul Eater came to mind straight away for me.

Baskerville Old Face is where it's at.

Yes it is.

It's a shame that Saber didn't reveal her name to Assassin. Then she could tell Mr. "None shall pass" to stand aside for the King of the Britons.

If he did not get that joke, he is more autistic than even me.

It might just be Archer's taste, but words thought to be a charm against evil spirits are carved on the blades.

Divine skill, flawless and firm
Strength moves mountains
Blade cuts water
Life approaches the Imperial Villa
We embrace heaven together


---Two great men, shared life.

How do you fit that on the swords? It doesn't look like they're carved on the face of the blades or anything.

By YAMATOwanking random chinese swords no one cares about.

More seriously, magic.

More seriously, K&B have always been dumb.
