Oh, you're probably right. Didn't realise that was an asterisk.
Maou Nobunaga, Mori Nagayoshi, Nagao Kagetora, little da Vinci, Jason, Paris, Gareth, Bartholomew Roberts, Chen Gong, Charlotte Corday, Salome, Summer Musashi, Summer Osakabehime, Summer Carmilla, Summer Hokusai, Summer Lion King, Alter Ego Lambda, Okita J Souji
grant total of 10 relevant mats
Spoiler:
Jasoooooooon
That's a fucking travesty. It's been what, a year and a half since 8. They could at least have covered the Saber Wars II and Christmas profiles so that they don't have to waste space in X on those.
At least we finally get Jason and Kenshin. I doubt any of the others in this bunch will give us anything particularly interesting. Maybe Chen will go more into God Force/Ancient Chinese Robots.
My only hopes for this volume are for Jason to tease some more incoming Argonauts, same for Paris with Trojan War characters and Chen Gong with 3 Kingdoms (and maybe Summer Lion King to tease incoming Ywain)
In terms of NP and Skills, maybe if the Argo gets an NP entry, otherwise can't recall anything I'm looking forward from this batch at the moment
If salome does show up in LB7, since she is the only new bronze who hasn't appeared in the story yet, her profile could tease a few servants from there. But i don't really see it happening
wtf
Still no Odysseus Mats
Content draughts are hardly kind.
I look forward to Jason's mats.
I hope stuff is actually written about things there.
Unless Jason is Meteo I'm not worried
Maou, Mori, and Kagetora are obviously Keikenchi.
da Vinci is a main character, so should be Nasu.
Jason was originally created for Okeanus so he's at least partially Higashide's. Probably a Higashide/Meteo collab.
Paris is an Atlantis character and a shameless shota, so Meteo.
Gareth is an Avalon le Fae character, so definitely Nasu.
Bart should probably be Meteo's because Atlantis, but we have confirmation that Gogh is Amphibian's and Miss Crane is Yano's, so there's a non-zero chance that he is Madoi's because he debuted in Meihousou.
Chen Gong should be Nasu's, or worst case scenario, Urobuchi's.
Corday is absolutely Meteo's.
Salome is Sakurai's and it clearly shows in her interlude.
Original Da Vinci was Sakurai so I would think Rider will be too
Huh. Yeah, Holmes is Sakurai's as well, so I guess "main character=Nasu" never held up to begin with.
