Fate/strange fake (Free-Range Spoilers)

[Comun]

That's only on volume 6.

[Leftovers]

Many thanks as always, OSoS.

Mr. Nasu: “About this volume of Fake . . . There was one serious mistake. . . . I don’t want to sound like I’m nitpicking, but it involves an important setting detail, so I have to point it out.”Me: “(Ah! I’ve never seen him this serious! I’m done for.) Y-Yes?”
Mr. Nasu: “In the part where Richard’s mom says ‘the world began when King Arthur’s Excalibur . . . and threw Merlin at the moon to . . .,’ it’s really a shame that you didn’t include the famous passage about how ‘Mordred the mage flew through the sky riding an iron giant and bombed Camelot, but Excalibur drove him into outer space’. . . but you’ve got plenty there already, so it’s fine the way it is!”
Me: “Wh-Whoa, that really is serious! I also forgot to include how ‘Tristan could hit a hole-in-one on his enemies’ weak points from up to 120 yards. We get the word golf from the music he played at the time, goryūfu!’”

fucking memelords, never change

Looking forwards to Volume 6, thanks OtherSide.

Mordred Caster when
Also thanks as always, OtherSide

‘Mordred the mage flew through the sky riding an iron giant and bombed Camelot, but Excalibur drove him into outer space’

I don't know this reference lol

[BHP]

Thanks for the translations.
Caster's profile : Cast Class -> Caster Class?


So even though Orlando was on the cover he never appeared. Never thought about Francesca never appearing.

So no Watcher until the end of volume 6?
Does Richard find out Ayaka can support him summoning all his friends or did something else happen in volume 6?

Spoiler:

After Ayaka becomes an official Master, Richard summons 5 at once. Still not all of them.

We still haven't seen his Lancer and his Berserker.

We still haven't seen his Lancer and his Berserker.

Spoiler:

My bets on Berserker being Mercadier personally. Would not be surprised if Lancer is Richard's big brother Henry either.

Do we Know their identities?

Spoiler:

Do we Know their identities?

Spoiler:

Assassin is a hunter hiding his face with a hood. Uses poison arrows and is great at infiltrating forests. Richard calls him "Loxley" way back in his debut, so without a doubt Robin of Loxley.

Archer is directly called Pierre Basile.

Rider is a knight on a horse holding a lance. Richard namedropped a "William" before, so probably William Marshall.

Caster is a small floating sphere of water, who can expand into a big sphere of water to shield Ayaka inside itself. When Alcides says here in volume 5 that he can feel something in Richard that ressembles the water nymphs who kidnapped Hylas, he was most likely talking about Caster.

Saber is a knight carrying a fuckton of swords on his back. His main job is to toss swords to Richard so that he's never out of resources for Excalibur.

[Bobin]

“There are even magecraft-users who will pretend to let someone go but place them under a suggestion to kill their wife and children as soon as they get home. Not for any real reason, just to enjoy their reactions.”
Those who forgot their goal of perfecting magecraft and used it for business or their own pleasure.
Many of the most vicious “magecraft-users” fell into that category.
That said, mages would do crueler and more vicious things if they agreed with the goal of perfecting magecraft and Mystery, so it was impossible to say which group was more dangerous.

Wow, FSF continues to be merciless in its depiction of magi. I'm really curious about endgame to all of this with how suggestive Narita has been about the pot boiling over between this charade of wizards and muggles.

Me four years ago: “I wonder how Gilgamesh would react if ______ actually showed up in front of him.”
Mr. Nasu four years ago: “Ve__ta facing Perfect Ce__ or post-transformation Fr__za.”
Me four years ago: “Excuse me?”
Mr. Nasu four years ago: “Instead of energy blasts, he’d let out an angry yell, like ‘Kwaaah!’ and rapid-fire Gate of Babylon with an aura like a merciless demon.”
Me four years ago: “We’ll have to collect the seven (Heroic Spirit’s) souls and summon the wish-granting dragon . . .!”

lmao Gil being a bitch jobber is official now

this one seems... really convenient.

Spoiler:

considering this anythingcalibur ability is post-becoming a HS it's awfully convenient that one of his shadow supports is a guy with weapons just to enable that ability. unless he was really known for having a guy who carried lots of spare swords for him in real life even upgrading a squire into benkei (falso) is silly

lmao Gil being a bitch jobber is official now

Spoiler:

i wonder what is it about humbaba which shakes him so badly as he's never shown such an immediate reaction against other opponents

he's calm against bigger monsters like tiamat ("it's just a mortal wound lmao"), goetia ("here's my infodump"), kiara ("ea gg"), cthulhu etc, and he's already killed humbaba once
it almost feels like an inversion of how unusually calm he stays against alcides insulting him to his face
so does he get so disturbed because enkidu is there (and linked to humbaba)?

the only comparable event i can think of is him saying in ccc that if ishtar appeared he'd whip out ea immediately but that was played more as a joke

It's probably because Humbaba was the first threat that out class him by a long shot. So he might got some PTSD on how it took everything that he and enkidu had.

I feel like Richard's Caster might be

Based on what has been said so far.

Spoiler:

Different type of enemies means different reactions.

For Tiamat he actually pity her circumstance and that was the one enemy he fully respect (calling her Our Mother at one point). Also he saw it coming for half a year, he had enough time to think about it to not freak out.

Kiara is just a thot, the rest of the CCC cast doesn't fear her one bit lol.

Humbaba coming is probably something he thought to be impossible + past PTSD. And he probably noticed something abnormal from it.

I am only starting to catch up on FSF and enjoying a lot so far

Thanks a lot for your translations OtherSideofSky

Spoiler:

I think it's probably as Humbaba was kinda the proof of Gil's "I'm related to some with messed up ideas that I don't want to be related of"
Gil may be lunatic but he has lines

[CO9p5JMGv!p9]

It's probably because Humbaba was the first threat that out class him by a long shot

well there was the entire sumerian pantheon for one, which he was opposed to
I wonder if Utu helping them out like in the Epic still applies, since not having Utu there to wipe out Humbaba's defenses would make it much harder to deal with
then again Fate Utu might just be dumb because he(or she? i recall there being something about a gender swap) thought creating humbaba was a brilliant idea in the first place

[mami-kouga]

Outstanding, what I missed was almost an entire chapter. That said, thanks for the translations!

[Takashi]

Volume 6 is big hype.
