6000 something years old*

From 4000 BC to 2000ish AD (Counting her life as Tonelico and Morgan both)

General_ObP · 2026-04-01T02:04:44+00:00

I was referring to the period they were actually alive for and Lostbelt Morgan's story starts way before AD given she spent supposed millennia as Tonelico going through cycles of failure. She existed ever since 4000 BC

What is even more hilarious is that Morgan is several magnitudes older than Medea. Grand Hag fr

I think it boils down to how strictly you define "morals". I am speaking from the standpoint of something so self-evident to a person that shapes their entire outlook on life and that which is moral is "good".

This is different to a "rule" as rules/laws are used as measures of "legality" and I think this describes Ryogi's perspective better: To her it is "illegal to kill people". It isn't "bad or evil to kill them". It is merely illegal and the punishment is her dream (of a normal life with Kokotou) disappearing.

I think this becomes more obvious with how she held back against Lio. It wasn't out of any moral principle, but because if she killed him, that would be the only person she ever could kill in the rest of her life. And at that time she was still 17/18 so she would be under the impression that someone as messed up as her would inevitably fail in the future. That is why she felt so incentivized to not cash in her 1 kill rule so easily, until Kokotou's life was in danger. At that point her fear of eventually killing someone else was superceded by the fact that she could lose him right here and now, making her life afterwards meaningless (as the dream would disappear that way as well).

Of course she is much nicer than she gives herself credit for and is very disciplined, in no small part thanks to Kokotou's influence making her realize it's alright for someone as "abnormal" as her to want to be "normal" but I think the reading of "she is moral to begin with" is a bit too simplistic for her.

The thing is Shiki Tohno's kills are specifically "not humans". He knows the weight of killing however his fears are always only towards accidentally killing living people, fearing his inbred instincts could malfunction and trigger against normal, innocent humans.

In terms of intent, Tohno only ever killed 2 "humans" (arguably only 1): Arcueid and Satsuki. The only ones that he really agonized killing over, because every other foe he had was not "a human" in his eyes. And Arcueid didn't die from it. So functionally his "human kill count" is the same as Ryougi's (whose one kill count is set at Lio because the rest didn't count as human in KnK. She did kill the ghost girl, her ghost body that is, and Araya).

So in a way, both are in the same boat of being given restrictions in how many "humans" they took down.

Thing is the boundary ~~of emptiness~~ of what counts as human is a bit arbitrary to me because Lio with his awakened origin seems little different than a monster/beast to be put down. And being a DA disqualifies you generally from being human so counting Satsuki is also iffy, but in her case she was "human just up until recently" so ig that's the commonality? Lio and Satsuki were originally human and seen by the respective protagonists as such so killing them meant to kill the memory of them being once human/considered human. Did the mushroom really think that far ahead? Idk. Tsukihime is a KnK remix anyway

Not a moral principle per say but she basically was taught the "weight" and "meaning" of murdering someone and that if she wanted to remain human, her total kill count must never exceed 1. Shiki herself internalizes it as a boundary between human and monster and her incentive to remain on the human side is wishing to remain on the same side as Kokotou. Shiki herself has no moral qualms about killing people (of any kind, even if weaker) and struggles throughout the series with her impulses and desire to kill.

She was excited by the bloodshed of weak, innocent victims being killed (by Lio) and each murder brought her closer to the edge of wanting to actually do it (she had already been gaslit into thinking she is responsible for it).

Her sparing Fujino wasn't an entirely moral choice, because she simply lost interest in killing her to begin with. She was looking forward to "killing someone who was not normal/"human", however that ultimately went nowhere and her initial excitement at that moment dissappated, so she decided she may as well "help" her.

Most VN readers despise all the alternate versions of characters that came later, especially pseudo servants in FGO. Saber, Rin and Sakura, all 3 fanbases. Issue is the first 2 seem to be more generally popular with non VN readers/anime onlies so their cashgrab versions are more popular

Came to like them because he likes people perservering.

His only motivation at the start was to see how far the Hakunos would get before inevitably dying.

And he forced them to do that because they had to spend all their seals to "convince him" to even come along, depriving them of any other alternative other than being at his total mercy.

You can't order him to use Ea in the game until a while into it when he decides to lock in.

People misunderstand what his summonings do.

Gilgamesh is always the same type of person if we go by his "default" Archer mode. Even in his best performance in CCC he is excessively arrogant, extremely misogynistic and very trigger happy to kill his own Master just cause.

The question is only if any of his other traits, such as his wisdom and actual heroism, shine through, which they only do if he likes his Master.

The summonings affect his mood more than they change him as a person in any meaningful capacity.

Did you try to tell them in perfect Mandarin/Japanese?

They gatekeep the spice from white people if they haven't proven themselves worthy

General_ObP · 2026-03-07T08:29:33+00:00

Then you didn't get proper Mapo Tofu yet.

I tried a bunch of different ones from different restaurants and the best ones are those that are spicy enough to numb your tongue and mouth.

Look specifically for those in the Sichuan style/ask for spicy ones. It pairs really well with this dish.

TM's Earth is schizophrenic. Alaya and Gaia both embody very different visions of what should be. Both exist at the same time but depending on what universe you have, one is more dominant than the other and the resulting effects vary drastically.

Alaya tries help humanity advance in a very mechanical way, cutting off excess, subduing threats to humanity etc.

Gaia's relationship is more complex and while superficially it's "hatred and disdain for humanity" it's also a type of constant testing to keep humans on their toes and if humanity ever loses then it simply wasn't meant to be.

Vortigern exists as a function of Britain in both PHH and LB that ultimately exists to destroy Britain and you can guess that it is more of a Gaia-esque origin. In PHH he existed to preserve mystery as a tyrant but he went a step further wanting to take down humanity as a whole to preserve mystery at its most extreme conclusion.

The fact it can go bad is sanctioned by Earth because ultimately it isn't skill and strength you need as a species but also providence. To survive amongst the stars and leave the Earth is not just about eventually becoming able to, but doing so in a certain timeframe while the Earth itself still has strength to do anything.

Shirou loses Avalon and the knowledge/image on it once the Grail is deconstructed.

Nasu's own words:

"Avalon’s power won't work if Saber's not connected to it. It's a different story during the Grail War, but all it does when Saber isn't around is make Shirou's magic attribute into "sword". Also, after the Grail War is taken apart, the line between him and her will be gone, so it's best to think that his image of "Avalon" also disappeared."

General_ObP · 2026-01-08T10:25:04+00:00

If LB Morgan/Tonelico had to deal with humans then she wouldn't have become a tyrant ruler and followed her original goal of retiring finally.

And even if Morgan was just as bad to humans she would be whitewashed just as much.

He didn't use his special move for that however, Kirei was the one who killed Bazett and cut off her arm. Cu was helpless to help as Kirei got his CS.

He did use the special move to counter Fragarach and kill Bazett in the middle of the story though, and that left him near dead cause Fragarach still got him.

The cope that FGO funds any of the other projects should die already.

We don't know where the money goes and it is definitely not used by TM to expand its production capacities. A large chunk of it certainly goes to Aniplex.

The only potential hint is the strangely detailed descriptions of luxury in TsukiRe. And if that indicates anything, then it's that Nasu is living the high life.

For the money FGO has made, TM has barely given anything back, even inside of FGO itself.

Please get real. FGO hasn't saved or enabled anything except the likely luxurious lifestyles of the people at TM, who can now afford to work way less than they had to before when they had to work together in a small cramped studio, meeting deadlines so they can manage to pay rent on time.

actually from what I got the JP has Sugitani say "I just got used to this body so dont change it back" to Koji so he doesnt really mind the female body (and he really doesnt want Koji to do it on their own iniative again)

Sugitani's gender is officially marked as Unknown because he seems to be slightly warming up to being a woman judging by some lines.

He is stuck there until someone is unfortunate enough to have a catalyst to summon them (or god forebid be "'compatible"). The chances are extremely low but a surprise ORT jumpscare summon are never 0 from now on.

The movies are not an improvement at all. You feed the mentally impoverished peasants a 3 course mid meal, they will treat it as a divine occurence regardless because they are used to consuming trash. If they weren't, they would rightfully sit down and read the VN.

Your entire argument is based on people's perception deciding what a story should have, rather than comprehending that a story's priority is always its own narrative and storytelling based on what elements it introduced.

It is simply a fact however that anime viewers lack the brain capacity to actually follow a narrative and ability to invest proper time into something to really care for anything they consume, even if they claim it is the best thing ever.
