    Raikou being Ushi Gozen was kind of out of nowhere, but beyond that the connections "exist" though they're tennuous. Ushi Gozen = Ox King = Susanoo =* Sakra = Indra, with that * part being where the ties get questionable. It's not something Nasu made up though. I'm assuming he made that connection by the same means through which he connected Amaterasu to Vairocana.

    The only thing that really connects Susanoo and Indra is that they're both storm gods and share typical storm god motifs lol, but that's like saying Thor = Zeus = Susanoo = Indra, which is not the case in the Nasuverse obviously. There might be some obscure ass Shingon shit there but obscure is putting it lightly

    Looks at gil Yes yes it is. A lot of the eraly Fsn servants are basically a combination of Dnd and basic rpg meachincs.

    don't forget Miura (Berserk) and Nightow (Trigun) for character designs.

    yet ppl complain about plagiarism in FGO.

    Actually you need to go read Abe-no-Seimei books to know about that Gozu Indra SusanoO syncretism. Thanks Seimei, very cool.

    In retrospective it makes sense why she was in charge of writing Seimei in LB 5.5 Heian.

    I'm still eternally waiting for them to reveal his design and still eternally praying that he's got fox ears

    Do you want Raikou=Indra to be an SMT reference too? Because it can be.

    Gozu Tennou in SMT3 had Thor as his strongest underling. But you can't just shove Thor into Raikou, Gozu Tennou has connections with India, so make it Indra instead.

    Though this is pushing it for the meme a little bit, Nasu isn't even the first person to connect him to Indra anyways as Emilio said.

    Maybe he's gonna be like in Shounen Onmyouji, first appear as an old man, then goes progressively younger and prettier with each Ascension.

    Does anyone remember the trivia/quiz that they hosted that was like 50 questions and they showed the top scorers at the end? I thought I had saved it but I can't find it anywhere. I recall merem110 and silver moon being featured as high scorers as well but searching twitter I can't find anything.

    Actually I think it was 100 questions but I could be wrong, I think the average score was 50/100?

    Found it, that took a while. URL was https://fgoshiken.jp/ I didn't archive it even though I thought I did.
    One site archived it though if anyone was interested in it. It's 60 and some are fill in the blank, must be exact match or you fail. The average score was less than 50.
    link here

    WHERE IS THE OKUNI GACHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

    This is absurd! It's unfair! All of the Gudagudas got rateups earlier and now they're coming back, so why not Okuni? Am I going to have to settle for attempting to NP5 Izo in the Maou gacha?

    - - - Updated - - -

    It's pretty wild how Instant Kill actually matters again, though. It's nice dusting off Ryougi.

    Tesla banner already netted me Yagyu and Chiron NP upgrades and a Kiritsugu-shaped Rare Prism in 20 tickets, think I'll go all in


    Update: 180 Quartz and 20 tickets

    Yagyu NP4 -> NP5
    Chiron NP4 -> NP5
    Lancelot (Saber) NP4 -> NP5
    Lancelot (Berserker) NP4 -> NP5
    Nikola Tesla NP -> NP2

    And a Kiritsugu-shaped Rare Prism

    Not a bad haul

    It's a CBC event despite being mostly Gudaguda, so no female Servants I guess.
