Prisma Illya

[TheSeaDragon]

So, Gorgoillya vs Beatrice, again .i guess is another month until we know whats up with the Sakura fight, i mean, if she survived the venom attack or what, but since we are not seeing that here, i bet she did.

I really like this single ponytail snake.

Yup, the HF promo cardboards make me realize that Rin rocks a ponytial, and seeing this i think Both Illya and Medusa would rock one. Ponytails for everyone, thats it Also, i know is not the first time i say this, but i dont know if its the install or herself, but Illya looks older, like, she would hit puberty anytime

[Nobody]

Is it just me or is Medusa's hair getting a lot of use recently? Gorgon, First Order and now Prisma. I wonder if the HF movies are going to do some new stuff.

Foxtail too.

Well Hair powers might as well scream out Medusa.

Could have played with it like Heracles' identity.

[asterism42]

Well Hair powers might as well scream out Medusa.

More or less so than stone eyes?

[Gabriulio]

Hair power does point to Medusa, but it's only "MEDUSA!" if it's snake hair. Stone eyes on the other hand...

[Gaugen]

These fights are dragging on way too looooong.

[Iceblade44]

These fights are dragging on way too looooong.

Hey at least it ain't DBZ.

[pandacmh]

There's character and lore development in these fights so all is good. Beatrice is not a 1 dimensional character after all

[AmADo VII]

can I expect Beatrice's SG next chapter?

[hayate]

Well it makes sense honestly. It weirded me out more in the original VN that there was nothing paticualy strange about her hair despite her being Medusa.

Well, she's summoned as a Rider, so she will get the almost adult version of her, also known as the one who "almost" fell.

Gorgon is a different matter entirely, as it symbolized her actual fall.

Besides, summoning the Gorgon version means having to change the class to an Avenger and not a Rider.

Which sadly Matou Zouken did not have one.

But at least HF did justice on her STR, END and AGI values.

[Gabriulio]

Okay, it's one AM here and I still have a book report to finish for a class that starts in six hours. Bye.

Beatrice: Bitch...!
Illya: ...Five steps!
Luvia: Don't tell me... // the nine steps backwards...!?
Shirou: Nine steps backwards...? // You mean, from Thor's death...?
Rin: That's right...! Thor's final moments were... // "walking nine steps backwards after being poisoned and falling dead"! // Poison alone wasn't enough! // In addition to the poison, she must walk nine steps backwards for the legend to be reenacted...!

Luvia: Indeed... Looking back on it, Beatrice clearly hates retreating. // That already happened thrice... // which amounts to five steps. // Illyasviel counted them exactly...!
Rin: Even drunk in madness, // she's been calmer // than any of us!

Rin: Even if it's a pseudo-summoning, she should be tied to the same fate as Thor.

Beatrice: OOOOOOOO
Illya: AAAAAAA

9 steps
awesomesauce

[ballinamon]

Is really Thor at the end?

[CerberusGate]

The nine steps is a damn nice touch. I almost forgot about that part of the myth.

I guess this means Beatrice's gorilla arms are representing Thor's berserk state before his death against the Midgard Serpent?

[ksho]

Watch for their shocku! faces next chapter once they find out that Beatrice has been installing Prymr all along.

Still, when did Cybele have mind reading/illusion capabilities? Unless their trying to tie Rider's dream hopping antics to her Mystic Eyes?

[fumei]

ok after reading it translated it seems less 100% certain that it is definitely thor, so that's nice. I feel like I'll honestly be a little disappointed if it does​ turn out to be Thor.

[zikari8]

At this point, it almost seems too obvious that there's more to it than just Thor, and Prymr's looking suspicious... but then again, Prymr wouldn't have the gauntlet and belt, would he?

[Spartacus]

Or maybe its Prym and Thor.

[CerberusGate]

Or maybe its Prym and Thor.

Could it be like what Illya did to produce Gorgon? Like install Prymr as the base and adding on the weakened Thor?

Though in that case, it would be double Berserkers overlapped onto each other.

[Spartacus]

I have Dogo and Prof M in mind, but that's work too.

[asterism42]

When you say Prymr, you mean Thrymr, right?

Because FYI using a capital P in place of a thorn is super confusing. At least 'Th' is a linguistic equivalent.

Þrymr, idk. Copy/paste it.
