Fate/strange fake (Free-Range Spoilers)

[All fictions]

So the village is not called Blackmore Cemetery?

[Skull]

Presumably not, I certainly wouldn't want to live in a village that has "Cemetery" in its name.

[You]

It's like the people who just call Anaheim, Disneyland

[Skull]

On a more serious note, is Blackmore Cemetery being supposedly in Wales new information? Not the first place I would've pegged it to be honest (and not just because "Blackmore" comes from Middle English).

Certainly makes the "The Only Way is Essex Gray" joke I was going to make useless now.

[SirGauoftheSquareTable]

Considering that people associate King Arthur with Wales/the Welsh-speaking world, perhaps this isn't much of a surprise.

[OverMaster]

Thanks for another translation OSoS!

Yes to both, Gray's village was built around Blackmore Cemetery and the gravekeeper, Bersac Blackmore (a descendant of the Blackmore family), trained her

And remember, the Master of Robin Hood in Fate EXTRA is a Dan Blackmore. This is probably no coincidence.

[Comun]

Yeah, Dan having the same last name as Gransurg was always weird and I hope the big Studio BB game makes the connection make sense.

No, that was already known; two books of Case Files took place there. (Those are the events that Flat and Hansa are referring to.)

[ChangeInHeart]

"I'm gonna borrow this and borrow this..."

I can only imagine the stroke Waver's going to have when he realizes whose stuff Flat borrowed to call him.

Well Sanda said Nasu called dibs on naming every mage to appear in Case Files, so we can assume Nasu puts importance on mage names enough not to accidentally name Dan after the DAA

[Samuka]

Flat contructing magecraft on the spot alone just by sense alone? Its almost like he does his feats simply because he thinks he could and its limits seem to be unknown

[CO9p5JMGv!p9]

Flat contructing magecraft on the spot alone just by sense alone? Its almost like he does his feats simply because he thinks he could and its limits seem to be unknown

the way touko describes it in case files, he's creating a new foundation for his magecraft every single time (and then abandons it)
it's completely bonkers, but he's also a dumb-dumb so it balances out. makes sense why the counter force would kill him though.

[Comun]

Flat can do anything, except attending to people who ask "Hey, can you do that again?".

So he's Fighter McWarrior

Wait, dont recall strange fake ever saying that the counter force wants to murk him

[SirGauoftheSquareTable]

I thought Case Files mats might have brought it up? Without Waver's tutelage, he'd likely get removed from the World.

IIRC, it's some distance from Cardiff.

It's from a Narita interview

Q:This is the first time you've written about Flat's circumstances isn't it?

Narita: Flat was born from the expansion of my wild idea of "what would happen in Zero if Waver was actually a really great magus?" The concept is "the complete opposite to El-Melloi II but takes the same actions." In the future we'll focus on the story of "what is Flat?" The Escardos family is an ancient lineage that has continued for 2000 years; its founder is a magus acquainted with Zelretch and Van-Fem. Though the thought was "If we let these magic circuits mature for 2000 years then it's possible!" to accomplish "something," as mystery waned their memory waned as well. And when they all completely forgot, the worst possible moment, Flat activated. I think if he had not joined the El-Melloi II's classroom, subordinating himself under the magecraft association, the World itself would have eliminated him. "What does Flat see with his eyes" has been frequently shown so careful readers may know what it is. Flat, after seeing that, what is he, what does he want is his theme.

Speaking of interviews, I found this bit in Richard's page on the Japanese wiki and I'm dying trying to find a proper source on it.

作者のインタビューによると、打ち合わせの時には武内崇より「性別を女性にして、セイバー顔にしませんか」 と提案されたらしい。一緒にいた奈須きのこには「はっきり断ったほうがいいぞ！」と言われたと か。

According to the author's interview, at the time of the meeting, Takashi Takeuchi suggested, "Why don't you make your gender female and Saber's face?" Kinoko Nasu, who was with me, said, "You should definitely refuse!"

Thanks boss. So if flat never met el melloi , he would have been erased ? That explained what was said in the novel. It was said in volume 5 that if flat didnt meet el melloi, he would been driven out the world and into himself or something liek that
