Their worth (life) ends when humans can no longer bear that purity.
That's a very good and interesting write-up. I still hope the vol 9 conflicts get resolved fast enough so the final battles get some time and aren't Narita just quickly writing out every character.
Personally, I am most interested in the final confrontations of Saber and Ayaka, the final confrontation between the Babylonia cast, and what is going on with the "egg". With it's colour it seems to have a connection to Babylonia, but maybe that's just because Alceides-Bull is absorbed by the grail at this point.
The priest was waiting for the arrival of the princess, who was only an enemy of all of them.
For the priest, the golden princess was the one and only main heroine.
Everyone else was unworthy of his respect, no matter how strong they were.

I mean. I always thought that's what he did, at least for events that draw his attention in the first place. We do know there's a limited number of outcomes thanks to the Pruning Phenomenon. And when you're both immortal and standing outside of time, you can afford to look at all of them. Plus it seems he can do it fast enough from that scene anyway.
Nah, Zelretch took one look at the FSF timeline in general and said "aw, hell no, the spider will wake up". He didn't say there is only a small chance of it happening. The way he talks about it he seems to believe that's the direction the FSF world is heading towards without external interference.
If the chance of ORT waking up was small then that's certainly not something conveyed by the text itself.

Rereading this part quickly shows you're right. Well. Good on Dorothea for needing the express intervention of Jotaro to make sure their successful simpage doesn't doom the whole world.
I think remake could undo the jojo references. But reading the mats he seems like part 5,6, 7 jojos rather than like part 1-4 jojos
He was explicitly compared to Jotaro, though, wasn't he?
Defeating the ultimate life form explicitly because it never understood what you were, becoming old after the final battle, and getting his blood sucked by a vampire at the some point of the climax are indeed very Joseph things, but Jotaro is the exact word Nasu used to describe Zelretch in his first direct mention.
I doubt it. As already said, he has given up his divinity, which is said to influence his ability to wield Ea. Knowing Narita he now has another extremely powerful EX-rank NP and an A-agility stat, like a significant part of the cast. Maybe the music intrument he now uses to coordinate his attacks.

I think he should have his own version of Ea. One that is the power of humans instead of gods.
Since Ea is from the beginning of the world. His ea should embody mankind in its truest sense.
