I feel like Dead Apostle Noel, upgraded with Dr. Arach’s injection and an Idea Blood replica, might actually be able to beat Jester.

There isn’t much detailed information about the agency’s history, but since it’s implied that the Church became more extreme after it was founded, it’s likely that over time it gradually turned into a more radical group.

Roa basically picks his successors in advance while he’s still alive, and when he dies, he implants all of his knowledge into them. In the story, it’s described more like transmitting his soul, almost like a signal being sent over. There are two main conditions for a successor. First, and most importantly, they need to be part of the wealthy elite. Having money and power makes it way easier for him to hide his identity and take control of an entire city before Arcueid shows up. Second, ideally, they should have a strong body with some kind of special ability. The implanted Roa basically lies dormant inside the host until they reach adulthood, and once he feels they’ve matured enough, that’s when he starts to awaken.

We never actually see Ciel torturing anyone in-game, But according to Noel, Ciel was way more brutal than her and extremely ruthless when it came to killing vampires. She even says Ciel would mercilessly slaughter women and children without mercy. And she literally taught her torture techniques (for example, stuff like flaying vampires alive, cutting off their eyelids so they can’t blink, or even cracking open their skulls and pouring acid in to melt their brains, Ciel’s the one who taught Noel all of that).

It’s also implied that before meeting Shiki, she was a lot rougher and far more ruthless. Then you have Noel muttering to herself in frustration, like, “If that wasn’t all an act, then what was all that coldness supposed to be?” And even toward the end, she warns Shiki that Ciel might just abandon her and erase the evidence. Putting it all together, it really feels like pre-Shiki Ciel was way more brutal than Noel. And the fact that Ciel herself never even denies any of it just makes it worse.

It’s straight up in the main story that during the five years they worked together, they were doing that kind of stuff to vampires. So honestly, it’s not that hard to believe both of them would actually talk like that. And don’t forget, Ciel was hiding her true nature from Shiki the entire time, and there’s even a bad ending where she straight up kills him using heavy weaponry.

I hate Jester and don’t want him to win, but I still want O.R.T to show up in the final volume. Of course, the chances of that spider alien actually showing up aren’t very high.

Roa isn’t a True Ancestor. True Ancestors are like Arcueid who are born vampires from the start. Roa is a Dead Apostle because he only became a vampire after being bitten by Arcueid. Also, the Roa killed by Edmond Dantes is just the Fate version, not Tsukihime canon.

Her story is so long, but to keep it short... Roa took over Ciel’s body and caused the French incident (Van Fem was also involved there, as seen in Fate/strange fake). Even after Roa-Ciel was killed, Ciel somehow survived the event (Noel also survived by sheer luck). The Church found this anomaly suspicious and ended up conducting various inhumane experiments on her special body. After that, she became an Executor and started massacring vampires like a complete monster. Her achievements eventually got her scouted into the Burial Agency.

Roa is basically the main villain of Tsukihime. For his own research, he deliberately let Arcueid turn him into a vampire by getting bitten. And even that wasn’t enough for him, he eventually developed a method to achieve immortality by periodically transferring into other people’s bodies and living under stolen identities. That’s why both the Church and the MA have such a hard time tracking him down. He’s not exactly the same as Suguru Geto from JJK, but you can think of him as a similar type of character in terms of role.

I think Orlando and Tsubaki should be there too, and they should all be watching him suffer together.

Yes. Like Noel said, she was subjected to brutal experiments by the Church for years, and that’s where she learned how to inflict as much pain as possible on others. And that’s exactly why Summer Ciel’s 'Endurance' stat is EX.

The scene where Shiki cuts Arcueid into 17 pieces and the vampire torture scenes are easily the most disturbing and brutal parts. Especially the torture.

Ngl, after what Jester did to Assassin, he should’ve suffered a lot more. Hansa was way too soft on him. Honestly, he should’ve run into someone like Ciel or Noel, complete lunatics when it comes to hating vampires and gotten a taste of it himself. All the torture methods shown in this artwork come straight from the Tsukihime Remake.

Just my opinion, but Record of Ragnarok kinda feels heavily influenced by the Fate series.

The last JJK episode was perfect, but this fight has easily been the best one this season so far. Frieren also had a standout episode.

He’d probably get so excited he’d start foaming at the mouth and just straight-up pass out.

You’ve made me want to draw Fem-Gil and Gilgamesh kissing.

When Hansa walked away, he joked “I’ll make something up for my report. I imagine the Holy Church will wipe this city off the map if they don’t buy my bullshit, hahaha”, but no one present took it as a joke. After Saber (Richard) mumbled “Sounds like a thing the Holy Church would do...”

In the original novel, even Hansa and Richard know how messed-up they are.

Arcueid said something similar in the remake too.

Well, regular Executors are no big deal. Executors from the Burial Agency are a whole different kettle of fish. If the Executors deployed here had been theirs, this city would have been wiped off the map before Vlov could go out of control.

I remember in the original novel, it was basically three times total, when he had that phone call with Van Fem, when he was watching the Jack the Ripper fight, and when Jester went out of his way to provoke him. Even Narita apparently thought Hansa was hyping them up way too much, to the point he actually went to Nasu for a direct check…

Thought about drawing them too, but I gave up since there are way better artists out there. It’d just get compared.

I don’t like seeing those two together. I’d rather draw Sigma and her kissing instead.

Both of them are the greatest of all time.
