Indeed, Captain Obvious.
That's why we are discussing it here.
I don't see a discussion. I see one guy saying "not buying that Moby Dick is a Dragon. Nope. He ain't. What? Author said otherwise? Oh, so he DIDN'T say otherwise, he just dodged the question. Aha, I rest my case"
:/
It says "I don't buy it". It means it is my opinion. I am always open to persuasion and evidence.
Who summoned you, Ally of Justice, to be the arbiter here?
I don't understand this logic.
Nasu never said anything about whether Moby Dick is a dragon or not.
And then, for some reason, people immediately assume that Moby Dick might be a dragon.
It's like, people see x, just x and nothing else, and immediately arbitrarily latch onto the idea that x could be 3, despite there being no evidence for or against this possibility. I mean, sure, it COULD be a 3, or it could be something else entirely. What I don't understand is, what makes 3 stand out amongst the other infinite possibilities?

food's right here. It didn't out and out say "dragon", and we know from Pegasus that there are lower tier monsters that are significantly more powerful than their tier would suggest.
Besides, before now, everybody would have agreed Moby Dick was a whale. This changes nothing, just because terra chose to say it's a dragon.

It changes how much you can wank Moby Dick.
I go where the Sylphs take me *cloak blows in the wind*
But Nasu can say it is a Dragon.
And we would all be like "Ya, Dragon. food's a retard."
And food would be fine with it. For myidealwanks are always special to me.

Well, I'd say that regardless of what Nasu announced, but I don't see how that would make other people call you a retard.
If you are wrong, you are a retard for 48 hours.

I really wish I could post screen caps right now. Got a Servant in Hollow Ataraxia talking about how in his day Gaia was lively but now she's just a load of crap.

Why can't you take screen caps, just out of curiosity?
Body fluid on keyboard, of course.
It is implicit.
Now this I've gotta see.

... How good are you at drawing?
I've been thinking... Why do you assume that Moby Dick is a whale in the first place? I am referring to the Phantasmal Beast that is referred to as a "Living Super Weapon", not the real Moby Dick, or that monster program in EXTRA. It is entirely plausible that in the Nasuverse, "Moby Dick" was indeed a dragon dwelling in the Ocean, but is recorded in history as a whale.
"BUT MOBY DICK WAS'NT A WHALE, IT WAS A WHALE HURR DURR~!"
Yes, yes. And King Arthur wasn't a bishoujo. Enkidu wasn't a trap. Gilgamesh wasn't white. Medusa had hair of serpents... I could go on, but you get the gist of it.
So, Nasuverse Moby Dick could easily be a Draconian Phantasmal Beast... Or not. The point I'm making is to not immediately dismiss it due to the actual Moby Dick being based off of an Albino Sperm Whale.
