Yeah, it looks lame even for a mecha too. How did it get to Kintoki in the first place anyways? Neither the Atlantic Ocean nor the Mediterranean Sea were anywhere close to Japan.

Take the Atlantic and drift under Africa.
Then it's more likely to land in India, Indonesia or Australia than Japan. But maybe Ares had a vacation in these places too, and some people from there could use him as their personal toy, idk.
The main beats, sure, but the writers don't seem to be looking at the script the other writers do when it's time for their character's plot points to come through.
LB5.5 onwards potential spoilers
The Muramasa Alter Ego reveal was weak.
We've had Rasputin and what Ana said to him figured out from LB1.
Caenis apparently gets scrapped by Kirschtaria and he apparently tells the Dioscuri they can get rid of her. The next half of the LB they're acting as if she just fell in the ocean and nothing ever happened.
It all feels fairly inconsistent.
FGO Supports
Honestly the most pointless appearance in this LB was Lancer Artoria Alter. I bet no one even remembered that she shows up for a split second.
Spoiler:
Also the Caenis thing was totally planned, you can even hear the sound of a command spell being used to save Caenis while falling. The whole point is that again, like Olympus directly says, the Dioscuri never really understood Wodime or his intentions.
In a re-read, there is a lot of stuff that you start to notice it was there all along. It just took so long that we forgot most of it.
2023 spoilers
Didn't Atlantis clearly show Orion spanking Caenis, Kirsch showing up saying "don't kill my guy, I still need him", then the Dioscuri torturing and abandoning Caenis on their own personal decision?
Not at all, the exchange goes like this:
Kirschtaria: "That's enough, Caenis. With wounds that severe, even speaking a few words could cause you to expire."
Kirschtaria: "..."
Kirschtaria: "Dioscuri, take Caenis away from here. It's all right. I have no need for protection."
Castor: "What? Lord Kirschtaria, you would really have us save this incompetent, good-for-nothing woman's life?"
Pollux: "indeed. I have to agree with my brother here, Lord Kirschtaria. Caenis is responsible for her own fate in this. I see no need for us to sully ourselves with her fithy bloo-"
Kirschtaria (really smug sprite): "Which is exactly why I'm entrusting this task to you two. ...You do understand what that means, don't you?"
Castor and Pollux are perplexed, then they both smile
Castor: "Very well. If our contracted Master command it, then so be it."
Pollux: "Hehe. This is your lucky day, Caenis. It would seem we have no choice but to help you."
It's really framed like he is asking them to punish Caenis.
Later Castor even says: "All right, let's head back. We still need to tell Lord Kirschtaria that we disposed of the filthy bitch, just as he ordered us to."

Because you are too young. Or too stupid. Or both.
Right. The twins had a proper reason interpret the order the way they did.
Maybe it was a ploy to make sure Caenis ended up working with Chaldea? Only thing I can think of.
