Fate/Grand Order Mats

[fallacies]

Xuanzang referencing Asterios, I honestly thought she was going to use him as another mount (I didn't check if Asterios appeared in the JTTW scenario in Salem).

For Quetz's Quetzalcoatlus, I was comparing other translated works on that (Chaldeum, MoC, etc.), and I noticed that some of them say that it's the Quetzalcoatlus creature that's manipulating the heavy rain, winds and lightning. However, when I looked through the text, it is actually the riding Quetz herself that is manipulating it. They didn't expand if Quetz has to be mounted to use it after releasing the NP or if it is referring to the rider generally that is manipulating it, and Quetz doesn't necessarily have to be mounted on it to continue manipulation (I assume the former). Just pointing this out if people are getting mixed info from contrasting translations, but do correct me if I'm wrong as well!

Asterios was in the Mashu-Magic Stage Play.

Text for Quetz:

真名解放時には、これに騎乗したケツァル・コアトルが風雨と雷の大規模操作を行うが…
As of True Name Release, the Quetzal Coatl mounted upon this (the Quetzalcoatlus) proceeds with large-scale manipulation of rain and thunder, but ...

It's Quetzal Coatl who performs the action, but being mounted during True Name Release seems to be an activation condition?

[castor212]

What's the line

(I don't have the mat on my phone)

here

Spoiler:

[Canon]

You'll want to rewrite that bit then

Easier to parse if you look at it as アーサー王への忠誠は絶対的（或いは狂信的）という訳ではなかった

[castor212]

oh so thats how it works
sankyu, it connects better with the next line in my mind now
like this?

Spoiler:

Perhaps it was due to his days of wandering (to put it more accurately, it was due to him being included from other legends to the legend of King Arthur), but his loyalty to the king is not absolute, or better put, less fanatic.

[Canon]

Pretty much

Noble Phantasm

Anpu Neb-Ta-Djeser: The Nether Mirror Thesaurus
Rank: B+
Classification: Anti-Army Noble Phantasm
Range: 1~40
Maximum Number of Targets: 100 people

Anpu Neb-Ta-Djeser (Anubis – Lord of the Sacred Land). A mirror that projects things that do not exist in reality. It does not function as an optical mirror. What is reflected is nothing but a grotesque and dreadful darkness that is constantly repulsive. Nitocris describes this as a mirror that reflects the netherworld, or perhaps, the image of a spiritual world of darkness, but the details are unknown. Whether it is indeed the extension of the dark abyss of the Underworld, a demonic prison manufactured by the ancient Egyptian gods, or nothing more than something forming due to the Magical Energy welling up inside of her, what spectacle really exists on the opposite side of this mirror?————



Character

First Person Pronoun: watashi
Second Person Pronouns: anata / omae
Third Person Pronouns: kare / kanojo / ○○ (occasionally one’s full name) / ○○-dono / ○○-sama


Personality

Nitocris is fundamentally a wise woman who is regarded as wise, always being calm towards dangers and crises, and she possesses the intelligence and emotional strength to make it possible for her to deduce the very best move… or that is what is expected of her, but there is a reason why she is often short-tempered and why she repeatedly jumps to the wrong conclusion. It is because she has a fierce will burning brightly inside of her heart.

Even if she was a Queen who was pushed up to the throne as a puppet, Nitocris is still a child of god, and she properly possesses the self-awareness of being a Pharaoh – a ruler who reaches for godhood. Therefore, she massacred the influential people who tried to turn the Pharaoh into an influential tool. The reason why she killed them was not only because she wanted vengeance for her brothers, but because the splendid Pharaoh should not be defiled by the lower classes, and that is surely no doubt for the sake of further continuing the existence of the Pharaoh for a millennia and beyond————


Motive / Attitude towards the Master

Nitocris comes into contact with the Protagonist as their “allied partner”.

The wish Nitocris wants to make on the Holy Grail is “For my brothers to live peacefully in the Eternal Paradise.” For Nitocris, who became a Heroic Spirit, she does not know if her assassinated brothers had managed to get into the “Eternal Paradise” – the world one finds themselves in after death in ancient Egypt – as they should have as expected and without any problems; therefore, she has no choice but to wish.


Speech Examples

“Lower your head. You are being disrespectful!”
“I am Horus, for I am the Pharaoh.”
“Death, for high treason.”
“Heroic Spirit, Servant… Before all of that, I am… yes, a Pharaoh.” (Puffs out her chest)
“Perish, you unsightly people…! Your screams, your groans, your requests! There is no need to grant them to somebody like you lot!”



Historical Image / Character Image

A Magic Queen who held the throne in the Sixth Dynasty of ancient Egypt, even if only for a short time. A figure who lived around the 22^nd Century BC. Strangely, Nitocris shares the same name with an ancient Queen of Babylon.

Her throne, which became the seat for puppet pharaohs due to the hands of influential people who made light of the gods, was smeared with blood more often than it being something that gives praise to the splendour of the gods. However, Nitocris, who became the Pharaoh, cannot stop forgetting the regrets of the preceding young kings – of whom they were her brothers – who were altogether murdered by the hands of the influential people, and she could never even forgive the fact that the throne of the splendid Pharaoh was played with by the lower classes.

————“Punishment, for disrespectfully playing with even the seat of the Pharaoh, who is both a ruler and a god.”
————“Punishment, for committing treason in vain by putting your hands on my beloved brothers.”

Although she obediently abided with the enthronement for a short while, Nitocris advanced a “plan” in secret to kill the influential people altogether. She opened a banquet in order to gather them – the irreverent people as well as the treasonous people – into an enormous basement that was constructed by her, and in the middle of their intoxication, she filled the basement with a massive amount of water drawn in from the Nile River, killing every single person through drowning, thus having accomplished her revenge.

Afterwards, it is said that Nitocris chose to promptly commit suicide without making arrangements for her rebirth that is to come after her death as the Pharaoh.

Although she was said to be the last Pharaoh of the Sixth Dynasty, there is no discovery of a positive proof that Nitocris clearly existed even up to the present day, so she is also viewed as “a Queen in legends”. However, the Greek historian Herodotus in the 5^th Century BC wrote down her existence in the “Histories”, which was written as the world’s first history book.


Character Image in “Fate/Grand Order”

A Magic Queen who held the throne in an ancient Egyptian dynasty, even if only for a short time. Beyond her gentle smile, Nitocris possesses absolute confidence as a Pharaoh. The “Was” sceptre she holds in her hand is a symbol of Royal Authority, while simultaneously, it is the same sceptre held by the ancient Egyptian gods; it is also a Magecraft Mystic Code that possesses a powerful Mystery. The gods blessed her to have a strong will and pride. Being gifted the power of the sky, and being gifted the power of the Underworld, she was bestowed enough power to conduct her revenge. Was it a section of the Nile River, as written down by Herodotus, that she really used to kill her bitter enemies whom she invited to the basement, or was it a torrent of evil spirits overflowing from her bronze mirror of darkness, given to her by the gods, that killed them? After her death, Nitocris could never proceed towards the “Eternal Paradise”, which is the world one finds themselves in after death in ancient Egypt. Consequently, she committed suicide without even making arrangements for her rebirth.

Was it the blessings of the gods, or was it because of the people’s thoughts?————For later on, Nitocris would be engraved on the Throne of Heroic Spirits.

Nitocris materialized as a Servant, or so she thinks. The previous Pharaohs who died some time ago before her – her beloved brothers, did they really managed to get into the “Eternal Paradise”? She herself at least does not know… since she did not arrive there. If it is the case that they are undoubtedly Pharaohs at least… like the dazzlingly beautiful Pharaoh, Ozymandias, whose divine brilliance remains as it is————

If the Pharaohs truly live on as eternal existences… then surely, even the souls of her brothers will be rescued by that power.


General Armaments

Nitocris can carry out summonings by means of Egyptian Magecraft. She summons scarabs, mummies, some small beings that have the appearance of the god Medjed, and so forth one after another to do battle.

Therefore, please do not stare at me like you are keeping an eye on a thief with that sort of manner. Also, being overly familiar with Pharaoh Ozymandias is disrespectful!” (Whispering)

Ozymandias
“King of Kings; the true Pharaoh. It is my utmost honour if you allow yourself to receive me, Nitocris, into a relationship with you as your retainer. I want to tell you… how much I am thankful… There is no way an opportunity for this will happen. I cannot bring this up. Mmmmmm.”

Comment from Illustrator

There was a beautiful tanned Egyptian Pharaoh girl in the design plot, so I accepted in designing Nitocris as soon as I knew this and crammed a bunch of Egyptian-ish symbols on her. Hey, I personally thought I completed her design in a simple and coherent manner skillfully. As a matter of fact, in the middle of this work, there was a revision to the design of her Third Stage Ascension as her rarity was changed from 3☆ to 4☆, and at that time, I received a draft plan of her design from the Director, so between you and me, it resulted in her Third Stage design as you see now. (Her original design has little skin exposure.) But she was blessed with a role in Chapter 6 of the FGO Story, and there was also the influence coming from “Chaldea Radio” that Ms. Tanaka Minami – the voice actress in charge of Nitocris – is responsible for, so she grew into a character who is loved by everyone, which was much more than what I had thought; every time it gets to this topic, I believe that “it is nice to be able to receive a design that you can do.” (Shimaudon)

I was planning to do Raikou, Gorgon, Lancer Artoria and da Vinci in that order, and then continue onwards, but from here on out, I'll be releasing them occasionally (like hopefully one or two per weekend) due to my schedule.

Excalibur Galatine

Sword of Revolving Victory

Rank: A+
Type: Anti-Army Noble Phantasm
Range: 20~40
Maximum target: 300 person

Excalibur Galatine.
A sword of the sun with a pseudo sun stored within the handle. A sister sword of the "Sword of Promised Victory" held by King Arthur, brought about by the fairy Lady of the Lake.
A holy sword not much recited in the legend. Compared to the sword of the king that receives the protection of the moon, this sword too receives the blessing of the sun. If the "Sword of Promised Victory" slashes apart with the light of the planet, the "Sword of Revolving Victory" burns to cinders with the scorching heat of the sun.
In addition, the "Sword of Promised Victory" is a centralized-type attack, but the "Sword of Revolving Victory" is a radiation-type attack that mows down the advancing enemy soldiers.

(the japanese has "type" as in type of machine only, but it's kinda awkward in english imo so i added attack behind)
-----
Personage
First pronoun: watashi
Second pronoun: anata/** (without honorifics)
Third pronoun: anatagata/** (without honorifics)

- Character
Extolled as the "Knight of the Sun", he is a very serious character; but not overbearingly so. That attitude of his is truly the definition of integrity and uprightness. A handsome man with a tall body and tenacious body, wearing a calm and lenient mask. With a refreshing expression, he refrains on making light of his enemy or insulting them. Even if his enemy is lacking in capacity, Gawain will surmise that fighting spirit and resolution, behave as decorum demand him and face his enemy.
However, due to reasons that will be mentioned later, he deliberately checks in and suppresses his own personal feeling. Due to that, his natural integrity and uprightness is emphasized much more strongly. To put it in a good way, he is inflexible; to put it badly, he becomes the kind of person who cannot read the mood.
Known as a loyal knight, and as he is summoned as a Servant he still holds his regret of being unable to help the king. His loyalty towards the king is as that of an iron, his faith unshakable; he strongly wish to simply swing of his sword once more for the sake of the king.

One can say it is a sort of blind devotion; during the Holy Grail War of the moon, Nero (Saber) asked this of him: "Then say you are ordered to decapitate a friend; will you simply do so?"
To that, he answered thus: "But of course. If it be the king's desire, then I shall involve myself even with the most disgraceful of conducts. That is what it means to put oneself as a sword. The king is never mistaken; were there any mistakes, then I should think that those are not of the king, but of a friend's. One who had been sentenced to death."

- Motives and attitude towards Master
During his life, he had divided apart Britain from his personal grudge. Due to that regret, he now places selfless devotion as first and foremost. One can say that he is the most ideal Servant for a Master.
He is truly a Servant embodying a knight serving his king. However, should he judge the Master as someone unworthy as a king, hit is unknown whether or not the Master can accept his loyalty to its fullest. It's best if they are both compatible with each other; one can say that he is a Servant hard to handle otherwise.

Due to making devotion towards his king his absolute mission, he will dedicate himself as the sword of his Master, whom he had approved as his king; he will never put himself out as the Master is conversing, and he himself will speak only as a proxy of his Master. Such is the attitude he takes, one that understands his stand point as a knight and retainer.

- Speech example
"I am Gawain, your servant. I do hope we can acquaint each other well hereafter. I pray that I am worthy of you, my lord."
(どうか、我が主の良き好敵手であらんことを。lit. i pray that (i) become worthy rival? somebody should double check)
"By your will. My sword is the embodiment of the sun itself. Under the king's order shall I burn to cinders everything in this world."
"This sword is the vessel that reflects the sun itself. With one swing of the holy sword of the planet...... Excalibur Galatine!"
"The night shall be banished in front of this radiance, and emptiness shall be swept away by this holy sword of the planet! Excalibur Galatine!"
"Meals prefers quantity over quality, no? A large heaping of breads, potatoes, and vinegar. Add some ale to that, and I am satisfied plenty enough. Of course, one must not forget the vegetables. Simple carrots are enough. The king and the others had once eaten such meals without even a single complaints."

Depiction in history
In the legend of King Arthur, he makes an appearance as a Knight of the Round Table, one who is equal or superior to "Lancelot of the Lake".
The eldest son of King Lot of Orkney. He was a relative of Arthur, and there had even been an event where he was entrusted with the holy sword Excalibur.
He is known as a noble one, with various military exploits extolled in numerous tales. If he had even a single weak point, that would be his strong love towards his blood relatives. It started with King Pellinore, who had shoot down Gawain's father in battle; he then began to oppose one by one every knight who had injured any of his relatives, sometimes even ended up murdering them.
When Lancelot took Queen Guinevere and ran away to Gallia, he had refused King Arthur's pardon for Lancelot and had brought about war with him, for Lancelot had killed Gawain's sibling as he absconded.
While carrying the serious wound left from his one-on-one fight against Lancelot, Gawain had fought the army of Mordred, who had raised a rebellion. In the verge of his death, he persuaded the king to request reinforcement to Lancelot, then passed away. All the while deeply regretting his personal grudge that had brought about the fracturing of the Knights of the Round Table...

Role in previous work
He appeared in Fate/EXTRA. He deeply regretted that he had been unable to throw away his hatred towards Lancelot during his live which had brought about the death of King Arthur.
Gawain. With the absolute mission to devote himself completely in aiding his king, Gawain then served selflessly under the young Master he had approved to be of a king's calibre, one who possesses sacredness as a king as he was born.
However, he then understood that the one thing his Master lacked to be a true king is "defeat"; Gawain then had chosen to continue on being his Master's sword with all of his might, until such time comes.

Connection with other characters

Artoria Pendragon
For a chance like this to come, for us to once again fight side by side... How could there be a miracle such as this!

Mordred
I understand your situation. Not much else to say.

Lancelot
No comment.

Galahad
Putting aside Lancelot, Galahad is a splendid knight.
One can say that someone like him is a human like that of an angel.

Tristan
Sometimes I actually AM sleeping, sir...

Comment from Illustrator
I drew Gawain's last ascension with the Gawain's day off sort of feeling. I'd be happy if it gives off the impression of a muscular prince, but... the posing that tightens the strap ended up a bit too relaxed, so I think it'd be nice if I had him stand a bit more tightly. (Wada Arco)

not much new things, mostly things that we knew already about him from previous works
i do find his complicated dynamic with Lancelot interesting, at least

and that wraps up the knight boys

vlad III next
