I remember seeing a video translation of his dialogue (he was cute) but his profile never got translated

Like, Molay's shtick is being demonized by Innocent Monster just like Eliza was. She's the blatant Eliza foil, the same way Cleopatra was before in their shared beauty obsession as framing vehicle to their unhealthy need to obey public expectation, and Hime was in their idol vs fangirl/claustrophobe vs ochlophobe/extrovert vs introvert dynamic. You know what to expect with her, so her minor scenes never felt a wait for a more proper character introduction.

Zenobia, on the other hand, has no thematic threads in common with Eliza. What she has is her is the total loss of her reputation, a history she shares with Molay but their Servant versions deal with in opposite ways. Meaning Zenobia is most likely going to spend this whole wacky journey to Csejte Cinderella being a nothing character, and only when she gets to a direct confrontation against Molay in the end that we'll get a real feel of what the story is trying to say through her character and how respectfully they convey it.

I'm honestly not holding any hope that they will portray her in a respectful way as this is a Halloween event, meaning Liz will probably get the most attention and Zenobia will just end as the typical sub-character that follows you around. I really hope I end up being wrong though.

I was under the impression the Nero wanking had kind of slowed down. If anything she seems to be more of a joke character nowadays.

Of course, if they ever release Mother Harlot then all bets are off...

Nero wank never ends
Nero wank forever

Oh, okay. Is it really as long Unlimited Blade Works? How many chapters are there?

**Reign** · October 21st, 2021, 08:32 PM

I don't know a comparison to UBW but it's like 2.5 times as long as the average Lostbelt chapter, which is why they released it in several chunks over the course of the summer. This is how thick LB6's script is printed out on paper.

Part of why I have been fast-forwarding the dialogues. I read a bit, got bored by the "comedy" and skip ahead. Same as with ~80% of the dialogues in the summer event. I learnt to accept that average event plots and writing will happen more and more often from now on and adapt to it to save my time. I know when to stop for lore and when to fast-forward now.

Either that or Extra Record releases first. Even her NP isn't shown yet as seen on my sig.

At least Mother Harlot might be an interesting take on Nero that might also reveal Beast VI lore.

Counting prologue, epilogue, and in-between interludes, part 1 is 12 chapters, part 2 is 22 chapters, and part 3 is 10 chapters, for a total of 44 chapters. Linecount-wise they are 7530, 10041, and 5004 lines respectively for a total of 22575 lines. UBW is 22154 lines (more or less). Of course, word count differs a lot between lines so it's not a 1:1 comparison for length, but it's a pretty good ballfield for visualizing just how long this is.

I think the november event can be that.

Why would a Nero story have Heian spoilers? I'd get if it were Olympus spoilers since there's the whole reveal about Quirinus being a Grand.

Perhaps it can take place between lb5.5 and lb6? If not I wonder how can they center an event around Seimei or something...

**Justiciar Hux** · October 23rd, 2021, 10:07 AM

So something interesting about today's event; Ritsuka's body is made into a vessel for an Outer God, and contains a Holy Grail in them (though this should be noted as being something that recently entered their body without anyone knowing).
As a TL of the relevant part of the scene:

Spoiler:

**Rafflesiac** · October 23rd, 2021, 10:35 AM

congrats kids you get your first non-shota male eldritch host

**madarra** · October 23rd, 2021, 10:51 AM

It only took 6 years for the " it was inside you all along" to finally happen.

**Laserman** · October 23rd, 2021, 10:56 AM

So when the group finds out Barghest's true name, they said that she be weaker as a result of that? Is that thing that's supposed to happen?
