Fate/EXTRA CCC Fox Tail

[Petrikow]

The first image is from Tribute Phantasm, or at least so does Takenoko claim in the comments. No idea about the second image.

[Tamamo-no-Mae Goshujin-sama]

So that's what the translation meant by "Prototype" I though it was meaning early work. Thanks Lobo and Petrikow for clearing that up for me. Hopefully we'll learn where Gawain and Elizabeth image is from in the near future.

[AleisterSwole]

Seems like there's not going to be a new Foxtail chapter this month according to this tweet from Takenoko.

[Tamamo-no-Mae Goshujin-sama]

That's sad to hear . Though we have been spoiled these last few chapters with Hakuno and Tamamo no Mae reunion. Thanks for the up date AleisterSwole. Well guess we have to wait till next month to see the beginning of Tama VS Suzuka .

[AleisterSwole]

New chapter 73

Without surprise stubborn Suzuka fighting by herself is getting pushed back hard by Tamamo and Hakuno.
I also appreciate that shot of Tamamo's ass on page 22.

[Quasar]

Thanks for the raw.

Takenoko doesn't stop teasing with this single glimpse of Suzuka's death flashback, it's 3rd time already he brings it up - give us full version already, dammnit.
Oh well, I guess Nasu's "with What in your hand...?" engrish from Extra versus text meant to show that this is Caster x Saber final showdown.

[Synaptic Star]

Poor Violet. Even her mother looks younger than her.

[Tamamo-no-Mae Goshujin-sama]

Thanks for the raw AleisterSwole. It look like to me that next chapter Suzuka may not be fighting alone anymore.

[EDreamer]

Here's the translation for the latest chapter. The ploy that Tamamo and Hakuno use in this battle is quite obvious if you read closely, and the hint Kazuhito gives at the end should make it pretty clear.

Text: A true hero kills with his eyes—
Chapter 73: Caster VS Saber V

Page 2:
Violet: Right now, I feel // like I’m drowning in the sense of defeat pouring out from my heart.
BB: Wow, how poetic~ // …Err // …You won, right?
Violet: We were both at the brink of death from the start… // our respective conditions were even.

Page 3:
Violet: If there was any difference between us, // it was that I relied on knowledge that I haven’t yet mastered // and Lancer relied on experience he has polished over time. // There was a clear difference in strength between us. // …But that Lancer // went out of his away to avoid harming me as we fought.
BB: Haha // So you went easy on her! As expected of the Hero of Charity!
Karna: I merely thought // that neither you nor I should be lost here.

Page 4:
Karna: But this is the state I’ve ended up in as a result… // I can’t put on airs at this point. // Your growth was far beyond what I estimated. // Be proud, warrior of management. You grasped this victory with your own strength.
BB: …I see. // So in return, you didn’t finish him off, huh? // Well, it’s fine as long as you won in the end.
Violet: No… I achieved victory, but if Lancer had fought seriously, // I wouldn’t have been able to fulfill my oath to my Master…

Page 5:
BB: … // …Vio, it’s unlike you, a maniac of rationality, // to ignore the results and feel depressed… // Did you eat something weird? // You mustn’t eat strange food like Kazura does! That’s an absolute no-no! Got it?
Violet: Results are still important to me. // But… // This Lancer taught me that there are times when you can’t achieve your objective // no matter how much will and resolve you pit against obstacles in your path.
Karna: ……
Violet: In this world, there are things you can’t do anything about just by maintaining order // and being forthright.

Page 6:
BB: This innocence! This truly is the frustration of youth! // You’re as stiff as always, Vio. // …Well, I don’t think there’s any need to trouble yourself over it so much. // There are places that you can only reach precisely because you continue being forthright.
Violet: …That kind of consideration isn’t like you at all. // Are you sure you weren’t the one who ate something weird?
BB: Hey! // I’m just stating the truth~
Violet: I see. // Then I’ll accept your advice without complaint. // But I // understand the importance of learning and trial-and-error.

Page 7:
Violet: This battle has shown me // that there are things to learn from setbacks. // To accept change… Even Kingprotea was able to do it. // Violet is changing!*
BB: Well, this is hard to say after you fought so hard out here, // but Senpai and Caster have already reunited // and are fighting against Suzuka-san now.
Violet: …In that case, shouldn’t we fight together to take down Suzuka Gozen? // Let’s plow through using the power of numbers.
BB: You haven’t changed at all, you maniac of rationality. // The way you go at your own pace… As expected of an Alter Ego born from me, you show a lot of promise. // —We’ll just wait and watch over their battle for the time being.
(*TL note: This sentence was said in actual English by Violet.)

Page 8:
BB: Now isn’t the time to interfere, after all.
Leo: I can’t deploy Sword Camelot… // but I shall watch over this battle till the end.

Page 9:
Kazuhito: Leonardo…!
Kazuhito (thought): That’s basically a declaration that not only // won’t you help Kishinami, you won’t intervene even if Saber wins…! // If Saber wins…? // That would mean eliminating BB’s enemies—and helping her eradicate humanity… // In other words, Fumika… would…
Kazuhito: … // Saber…!

Page 10:
Suzuka (flashback): Kazu-kun, your wish // is to make your family smile! // I love Kazu-kun… // I don’t want to be separated, ever…!!
Suzuka (thought): If I obey BB-chan, Fumika-chan will die. // If I defy BB-chan, Kazu-kun will die. // People can only ever choose one future. // I…
Suzuka (flashback): If…… // —then next time, for sure…
Suzuka (thought): Even if it means making Kazu-kun sad, // I’ll protect him!!

Page 11:
Tamamo (thought): … // Sakagami-san, Suzuka-san. // It’s up to them to choose which path to take for themselves… // A lot has happened, but… // …If their choices end up endangering Master, I won’t show any mercy! // This time… I shall pay back my previous defeats twice over! // I shall illuminate my Master’s path… // That is the unchanging love I’ve chosen!
Hakuno: Tamamo.
Tamamo: !
Hakuno: Despite having nothing, // even I have managed to obtain a wish I want to fulfill.

Page 12:
Hakuno: To walk alongside you. // To fight alongside you. // Once we return to the Near Side, // our memories here will disappear… // Even if this wish is limited to here on the Far Side, // when I think of fighting with you again in the Holy Grail War, // my heart feels light // and warm. // —Now…

Page 13:
Hakuno: Let’s go, // Caster!
Tamamo: Yes, Master!
Suzuka: I won’t let you // get in the way of my future (ruby text: choice).

Page 14:
Tamamo: Curse: Fiery Heaven // Curse: Frigid Heaven // Curse: Chaos Heaven!!

Page 15:
Tamamo: I was waiting for that. Aphotic Cave!

Page 16:
Suzuka (thought): Unlike the fox, my data on Kishinami is sparse…
Suzuka: So what!!? // I’ll read through your moves…!! // All of them! // All of them!!

Page 17:
Hakuno: Caster! // Use Guard Break!
Tamamo: Curse: Fiery Heaven!!
Suzuka: !?
Hakuno: A… // Attack!

Page 18:
Tamamo: With a somersault for extra force!
Suzuka: Tch!
Suzuka (thought): So she does the opposite of whatever he orders! // I can easily see through that kind of ploy!
Hakuno: Hah! // Tamamo! Use a skill!
Suzuka: That won’t fool me anymore!

Page 19:
Tamamo: Curse: Frigid Heaven!!!
Suzuka (thought): A skill!?!?
Tamamo: I’m on a roll!!

Page 20:
Suzuka (thought): This time he purposefully said it so I would hear it…!
Suzuka: So annoying…!!
Hakuno: Use Guard Break, Caster!
Tamamo: Curse: Aphotic Cave!!
Hakuno: Keep attacking! Tamamo!

Page 21:
Suzuka: —!
Tamamo: Mantra: Bestial Sky!
Box text: Magic power greatly increases until the next turn.
Caster: Oh? You decided to fall back? // In that case, I’ll safely buff myself while I have the chance♥
Suzuka: Haa… // Haa…
Hakuno: Tamamo, // use a skill!

Page 22:
Kazuhito: Idiot! // The key is her true name!!
Suzuka: !!!!
Tamamo: Curse: Chaos Heaven!
Suzuka: Rouran*!
Text: The battle intensifies—
(TL Note: Attack name “Rouran” = “Tower Storm”)

Oh, that's a neat gimmick.

Thanks for the translation!

[AleisterSwole]

Thanks for the typeset!

[Tamamo-no-Mae Goshujin-sama]

Thank-you both, EDreamer and TheSkipRow, for the translation and typeset. I find it interesting that through this how story, at least that I can remember, only battle between Tamamo and Suzuka does it seem they use the game mechanics, or at least say them, like Guard, Break, and Attack. It helps show how Hakuno is helping keep Tama ahead and shows how having knowledge of opponents in the game lead to victory. Suzuka must really be out of it if even though, I think, she had her brain boosted Kazuhito was the one to notice the the trick.

[AleisterSwole]

I find it interesting that through this how story, at least that I can remember, only battle between Tamamo and Suzuka does it seem they use the game mechanics, or at least say them, like Guard, Break, and Attack.

No, they also used the game mechanics and gave orders like that in the first couple of fights between Tamamo and Suzuka.

Just because she's using her Noble Phantasm that makes her smarter doesn't mean she doesn't have attack patterns, hah.

[pinetree]

No, they also used the game mechanics and gave orders like that in the first couple of fights between Tamamo and Suzuka.

That's what he's saying. Battles between those two are the only ones in which that happens.

I hate it but at least this time around they played it off as a strategy to confuse Suzuka so I guess it's fine.

[Tamamo-no-Mae Goshujin-sama]

Sorry if I worded it wrong but like pinetree said I meant it only came up between them. During any battle involving Violet, Karna, and/or Gawain it is not brought into play, their master my say use a skill or NP but that feels more natural to me, even during Suzuka flash back fight it didn't come up. Though another way to look at it is at the beginning Hakuno rarely gave these orders since he didn't feel close to Tamamo and by her side it symbolized by them fighting together in this way which is different then any other master there.

[Petrikow]

You know any Extra-verse spinoff that has to remind me of the originals awful game play gets an instant minus from me regardless of rationale.

[Byegod]

The speed of how fast servants move should make it semi irrelevent? its at least smarter than fgo justification but... a supercomputer sword cant deal with that?

Also i always use cheats for extra tbh.
