Fate/strange Fake, True Archer/Avenger Alcides/Heracles, riding Cerberus

😭😭😭 "can you kill even a child" no mf he's made it his mission in life to slime out every kid in city limits

Fate/strange Fake, True Archer/Avenger Alcides/Heracles, fighting Berserker Jack the Ripper

Alc's face fucking hell dude

Well it ultimately comes down to both being Shirou foils like everyone in FSN lol

Fate/Zero excerpt, Kiritsugu Emiya

Fate/stay night excerpt, Artoria Pendragon/Saber

Servants always resemble their masters. Kiritsugu and Saber both kill everyone who stands in the way of those ideals, but themselves, that is to say, their own hearts, first and most chiefly. The king is not human, a machine of justice cannot be human, but they remain as such even so.

Yugioh Gx, Darkness/Nightshroud

Because the vulgar metals, and chiefly gold, are absolutely dead, while ours, on the contrary, are absolutely living, and possess a soul

Yugioh Gx, Daitokuji/Banner, alchemy.

Our gold is not the vulgar gold

I'm not a super big fan of lore for the sake of lore, but the Shinobi Hiden Columns Kodachi and Kishimoto did in NNG were at least pretty fun.

"Yah killing an entire occupation group (police) still causes problems like 30 years later of course it does" is probably the funniest tidbit from them.

Yugioh OCG Stories manga, Regulus

I also just like this page a lot

Yugioh OCG Stories manga, Aposso talking to Regulus and Seede

What Aposso is talking about applies to Regulus, obviously, but also Endymion. Just like it took Regulus looking at the world with his own eyes to change himself, Endymion was shaped by his own experience, and it will take him leaving his citadel and change by his own will, rather than Regulus'.

Akebi died 12 years prior to NNG, around the same time Boruto was born. Amado finished his cloning tech shortly after that, and Koji was created an unspecified time after that.

No matter how you slice it, Boruto is older than Koji.

Koji is younger than Boruto btw lol

Fate/strange Fake, Bazdilot Cordellion.

Bazdilot swears loyalty to his don, and Alcides who swears loyalty to his captain, above ideology or identity. Being a mage or a hero are secondary, compared to being a mafioso and crewmate respectively. That's the true nature of Cordellion, the heart of the lion, and his servant, sailor Alcides.

Servants always resemble their masters, even when summoned using a catalyst. This is a slight spoiler, but the reason Bazdilot understands Alcides so easily is because he's the same way, pledging loyalty to a dreamer even in spite of the naive dreaming. Jason and Scladio are the same, and so are

This is probably a version where Jigen was 1, and so Kawaki has a 0 attached to represent an empty vessel. But Jigen was then given 4 for death meanings, and Kawaki was given a sideways 4 to match.

Speed Duel refers to the primary format in Duel Links as well and also that doesn't really change what I said lol

Why did farfa do that

At this point Deck Master has honestly just been absorbed by Speed. Skills do deck master stuff but (generally) without having to account for every monster in the game, and there are a decent number of actual skills that just reference and do Deck Master by name at this point.
E.g.

Clearly it's the fallen aspect of Shibai, the hidden god, Ama-

Um. Anyway. When talking about omnipresence, the inverse of embodying all things is also that. That is to say, a sage or something like it, one with the universe rather than nature, that buddha kind of enlightenment is pretty 6 paths.

Elemental HERO Shining Flare Wingman, Yugioh Gx.

"Q. What is astral gold?
A. Astral Gold has its centre in the sun, which communicates it by its rays to all inferior beings. It is an igneous substance, which receives a continual emanation of solar corpuscles that penetrate all things sentient, vegetable, and mineral."

Elemental HERO Flame Wingman, Yugioh Gx. Text is from Alchemical Catechism, an important alchemical text.

"Q. What other name is also given by the Philosophers to their living gold ?
A. They also term it their living sulphur, and their true fire; they recognize its existence in all bodies, and there is nothing that can subsist without it.
[...]
Q. By what is this fire nourished?
A. By the air."

Ik he was thinking some funny shit here

Acknowledge power over life and death as divine? Of course not. We need to grind scepticism aura.

Kakashi Hatake in Naruto referring to the power he was BROUGHT BACK FROM THE DEAD by as a random mutation.

I'm not gonna lie I've been quoting this constantly for a while I love my Kakasheist

In that sense, he's something of a mediator, I think, between Alcides who is severance and Hippolyta who is binding. The sword of rupture, his godly and kingly authority, will come out if he determines severance or binding to be worthy to face him as a half god half man.

Alcides' divine power manifesting as shadow, Hippolyta's as light, and Gilgamesh's remaining dormant. I understand the dualism between the two Greeks, but what is Gil here?
Ea is divine power of creation and destruction, and Gil is the chain connecting man to gods but also severing that connection-

Family member roped me into getting this cop game to play coop and first mission I saw just the most obvious sloppa art oat and like

Gonna keep playing because hanging out but dude

Otsutsuki outfits invoke wealth and divinity, but the shinjus evoke pretentiousness as they play the intellectuals, justifying their consumption.

Not to mention, of course, that the "clothes" are made of claw marks. Divinity manifest, and created from Code's own blood, their progenitor of sorts.

The shinjus outfits distance you. Make them harder to relate to, just like an absurd looking design on a top runway is hard to relate. It feels it wasn't made for humans, and in this case, it wasn't. It was made for something of a higher order. The Otsutsuki are designed similar, but still familiar.

Not really a fashion guy so bear with me. Ppl have ofc often understood the shinjus outfits to be freakish, but I have an idea why.

Theyre obviously high fashion, and I think that itself is the trick. High fashion is unrelatable, easily mocked, because it seems inhumanly above it all. Otherworldly.

Verre never fails to look ominous to me... Her dark aura... Regulus get out of there...!!!
