You know technically the entire point of the pendragon saga, as in, the literal central premise was that Arthur’s sword wasn’t really that special and it was the sheathe that was the true treasure

If Grands are to deal with threat to the planet caused by humanity, Seibaa is the answer to all thing aliens.
We already have a max-level Arthuria designed to protect the people against aliens. Her name is Mysterious Heroine XX.
Spoiler:
That's servant universe. We don't have one yet in non-joke universe. So far XX only functions in events also. The next step is to make one who works in main story, namely Grand Altria, to make sure jokes remain the true source of lore.

Beast VII? Her showing up in LB6 would be the easy guess, but I think they'd save her for the finale.
DW is clearly saving Avalon for something, and the Lostbelt promo art might mean nothing, or it could mean everything. I'd be hard-pressed to think of a character who makes more sense as Grand Saber for the franchise.
Ah, Grand Shielder.
I personally like the meme theory of Grand Saber A(L)tria and Grand Saber A(R)thur.
imagine if this was the reason nasu changed the name
It is a bit interesting that Arthur is the one meant to stop VI/L, even though the circumstances surrounding that are straightforward. He's not a Grand, as far as we know, so VI/L might be a case where there's no Grand summoned to counter it. And if Holmes ends up being a Beast, then we could end up seeing a case where two Beasts battle.
This impressively cursed and you shouldn't have brought it into the world.
Beast Holmes is being built up as a betrayal (yes, even with Holmes' interlude) so I can see a Beast vs Beast scenario against him, with the Beast on our side being IV.
Could be, but I also wonder if Vitch will end up on our side (since she'll probably end up summonable as Assassin) for that reason. It'd be quite a twist for Vitch and Holmes to "switch" sides.
I'm expecting a Beast vs Beast with Vitch vs Fou. They even are compatible as enemies. I'm assuming Fou's nega- skill is anti-human(because Primate Murder) and we know Vitch's is anti-weapon so neither has a fundamental advantage over the other. They've also been setting up the antagonism between the two since Part 2's intro.
After Holmes interlude I think they are making it so transparent that it's probably a red herring or a fake betrayal.
I'm assuming at this point Holmes is just carrying something dangerous within him, going by Surtr's mixed spirit comment from way back. That way, he's directly at fault for whatever happens whenever he releases it, but he's not the one directly harming us. Then at the end, he can give a big fancy breakdown on his entire plan and we forgive him and move on.
Sure, those things happened, but the first thing people think of when they hear King Arthur is the sword in the stone, it's Excalibur.
The Round Table, the Lady in the Lake, the other knights... those are all side pieces to the iconic image of the king with a magic sword he pulled out from the stone.
jokes are deepest lore
While I agree with your general point, isn't the Sword in the Stone actually Caliburn in Fate?
Yeah, but that's not really relevant to what I was saying.
What.
"In this manner was a great part of that day also spent, whereupon Arthur, provoked to see the little advantage he had yet gained, and that victory still continued in suspense, drew out his Caliburn, and, calling upon the name of the blessed Virgin, rushed forward with great fury into the thickest of the enemy's ranks; of whom (such was the merit of his prayers) not one escaped alive that felt the fury of his sword; neither did he give over the fury of his assault until he had, with his Caliburn alone, killed four hundred and seventy men."
This idea of Arthur as a poor warrior is a very modern one. Even aside from all the references to Arthur's prowess, it should be obvious by now that Type-Moon's version of King Arthur is far from a poor warrior.
