Chapter 6.5 speculation

[Lobo]

The Orlando epics basically recognize only two religions: Christianity and Islam. Sarracen is the catch all term to describe every character that was not a Christian, even the fairies like Morgan and Alcina I think are referred as such (don't quote me on this). Remember both epics were written right after the Crusades at the beginning of the Renaissance period when the tensions were still high, which translate on the main background conflict of the works being the war between Charlemagne and Agramante and there's put so much emphasis on the convertion of characters like Ruggiero, Marfisa, Brandimarte and others.

This sound like the could be the deciding conflict in this story chapter. This Vision one of the most prominent us conflict

[Bunhelier]

This one has the highest possibility of becoming true.

It's seems unlikely like most on the comments it could be just the artist style since I remember back in Shinjuku when it was discuss the topic of Phantom Servants that Moriarty himself didn't not qualified to be proper Heroic Spirit servant so he has to fused with the another spirit that of the Freeshooter. (I could be wrong on this) Also would it be fair to given Moriarty his own interlude on that list of available interludes.

The one thing I'll relate to it is that obviously we know Holmes will have some relevance, so it's entirely possible, as we're approaching the climax, that this is where the traitor proper will be revealed, and that's the "main story relevance" of this .5 chapter. In that way it'd mirror something like Heian or Tunguska quite well, with them being the climaxes of character arcs.

Lobo was the only pure Phantom that needed other Phantoms to be stable enough to exist as a Servant. Yang and Moriarty just got buffed through Phantoms being imbued into them.

Why is there a 6.5 in the first place? was this hinted in the lasted Avalon lostblet?

[Kirishima]

Because every Lostbelt that isn't 1 or 2 has a .5

[OnesFleetingGlory]

It's hinted when a light dot appears above Avalon le Fay chapter after players completed it.


People thought it was Koyan's chapter at first, but the dot remains after it's finished.

Then a short livestream was held early this month, confirming 6.5 along with the chapter's name to release in June.

Hope it delivers as the events were not very good. Dagon's managed to keep people interested with servant interactions and actually cute critters, but the collab was, to put it politely lacking in every where.

Has Sherlock's MI6 brother Mycroft Holmes ever been mentioned before? I wonder if he will appear at some point. In the novels he's said to be even smarter than Sherlock himself.

Mycroft hasn't been namedropped yet.

Just remembered a plot thread that's still unsolved and may actually come into place here, back on LB1 there was this baby eldritch horror (forgot what it was named) that Beo and Billy found but have no idea where it had came from. Seems like explaining its origin may be something Traum could do.

So, my final prediction: Traum will be located on the hollow inside of the Earth (to have the thematic follow up chapter to Agartha + Sion' commentary of biggest singularity ever), and will be a world where fantasies that can't become reality on the surface of the Earth actually take form. Stuff like the eldritch horrors, kings on the mountain, the whole paladins debate that Higashide started on Link and Kriemhild too to explain the separation between Sigurd and Siegfried as different characters (Remember on an old Round Table interview between Higashide and Sakurai about the Fragments servants, Sakurai said Higashide was the one that came up with the idea to split them into two characters and was working on it when he suggested Sakurai to use Bryn on Fragments so she ended in charge of the Norse-adjacent characters, while Higashide kept the German-side characters. So whatever Higashide had planned with the split could come into fruition or not here). And of course, I'm expecting Captain Nemo to drop the necessary Journey to the Center of the Earth reference.

[Ismail2002]

So, what Constantine XI Role in all of this

[OnesFleetingGlory]

He's also a king in the mountain.

[Ismail2002]

Right the Marble Emperor, so what is our job with this particular singularity or chapter.

[OnesFleetingGlory]

The obvious one is resolving it. Other than that, unknown. The premise behind said Singularity wasn't hinted at all before, since there's no familiar figure to confront(Douman, Koyanskaya), or related events(Imaginary Number Space dive test, Beast III/L), there's just no foreshadowing other than it being the biggest singularity yet.

Find out in early June.

Considering all that, I am exceedingly curious as to what Higashide would do with Dietrich as you would essentially have a three-way split between the real historical king of the Visigoths - Theodoric the Great, the exiled prince of medieval German Romance who played a hand in the demise of Kriemhild - Dietrich von Bern, and then the hero of the Scandinavian tales who journeyed alongside Sigurd and the others - Þjódrekr.

Even trying to think up an explanation for that is giving me an aneurysm.

Not the most versed with Dietrich’s history, I only know him passingly after reading the Nibelungelied, but I would imagine Dietrich and Theodoric be split like Charles, one represent the historical figure, and the other fantasy. As for definitely can’t pronounce nor spell Pjodrekr, he’s probably gonna be his own character, if he’s implemented in the first place.
