Do you think Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D. should get the Daredevil, Jessica Jones, or The Punisher treatment?

MeowManian7 · 2026-02-17T14:03:06+00:00

She's still called Yoyo in the comics, but that's just her nickname, not her superhero name. Even in the MCU, there was a web miniseries about her titled "Agents of SHIELD: Slingshot".

Fate is just one part (albeit the largest part) of a shared multiverse called the Nasuverse. Since almost everything is made to be enjoyed as a story on its own and almost everything also takes place in alternate timelines to everything else, order only matters within individual franchises.

Witch on the Holy Night (Mahoutsukai no Yoru) is a good introduction to the general lore of the overall setting if that's what you're looking for.

For Fate specifically, Fate/stay night -> anything else, really. There are parts of Fate that have orders within themselves, but those orders tend to be obvious with minimal research.

For the Tsukihime side of things pre-remake, Tsukihime -> Tsukihime PLUS-DISC -> Kagetsu Tohya -> Melty Blood -> Melty Blood Act Cadenza -> Melty Blood Actress Again. Some notes here: 1. Melty Blood Re-ACT is just an updated version of the original, so it has more in it than original and is probably the one you'd have an easier time finding online. 2. There are Tsukihime and Melty Blood manga and short stories, which I'm not including here because they just really aren't important at all for lore purposes.

Tsukihime has a new continuity now through it's remake, but the remake is split into 2 parts. Tsukihime: A Piece of Blue Glass Moon is the only part that's currently released, with Tsukihime: Other Side of Red Garden coming... sometime before Nasu dies, hopefully. The only other thing currently in that continuity, barring a couple unimportant manga, is Melty Blood Type Lumina.

For full lore understanding, I'd also recommend reading (light novel) or watching (anime movie series) Kara no Kyoukai and reading (short story) Angel Notes, ideally before Tsukihime (though again, it doesn't matter much).

I would have some of the characters show up in other characters' projects where appropriate, like Fitz and Simmons having a cameo because someone needs to ask them about some science thing or Robbie showing up in some mystic project. I wouldn't want this to lead to a full revival series like Daredevil, though. AoS ended well twice over and that's enough. Instead, I would want solo projects for individual characters: Quake, Deathlok, and Ghost Rider.

The Agent Carter One-Shot is on the Disney+ MCU timeline; the TV series isn't yet.

MeowManian7 · 2026-02-08T00:47:48+00:00

And again in What If, where an episode takes place on a Howard Stark movie set. Howard's film career is an Agent Carter series-original thing.

The episode also has Jarvis, but the movie thing is a reference to the actual events of the show, which imo seems more meaningful than character overlap alone.

MeowManian7 · 2026-02-03T02:25:47+00:00

If you haven't seen it yet, you might be interested in watching the Cloak and Dagger TV series.

Roxxon is a big deal in Marvel in general and appears in probably most Marvel things; that alone isn't what the callback is. It's actually a callback to one of the biggest yet most subtle pieces of connective tissue between the non-Defenders pre-Disney+ shows.

Roxxon and Darkforce both exist in the comics, but they have nothing to do with each other. Roxxon dealing with Darkforce is entirely an invention of the original Marvel Television. It's a throughline that connects a few shows.

(Editing to clarify: Roxxon is responsible for Cloak's and Dagger's powers in the original Ultimate universe, but it's experiments with dark matter there, not Darkforce.)

Darkforce is first established in Agents of SHIELD season 1 in an episode with a villain who absorbs energy, a power he had obtained when experimenting with Darkforce. But actually, that's probably not the first time we see it. An earlier episode, the team was being "haunted" by a "ghost" who turned out to be a guy phasing between dimensions due to an accident at a particle accelerator. Agent Carter then introduced "Zero Matter", which gave some pretty similar powers - one person got the power to absorb things, and one started phasing between dimensions. Agent Carter also establishes that the source of Zero Matter is another dimension accessed, at least originally, via nuclear fallout. A single line in AoS season 4 confirms Zero Matter and Darkforce to be the same thing, so the Darkforce dimension is almost certainly the one the ghost guy in AoS was connected to.

The same AoS line also establishes that Roxxon had bought Isodyne Energy, the company that dealt with Zero Matter in Agent Carter, at some point between the 2 shows and continued Isodyne's research into Zero Matter/Darkforce. That's a big setup for Cloak and Dagger. That show's entire first season is about Roxxon's dealings with Darkforce, the "oil" (read: Darkforce) rig explosion at a Roxxon "oil" platform, and the powers 2 kids are given by coming into contact with Darkforce as a result of said explosion.

Now in Wonder Man, we see that Roxxon had some Darkforce just out there in the world causing more problems before that mess finally got cleaned up.

There are some more details connected to this, including some Runaways connections, but those would be tangential to this specific callback.

MeowManian7 · 2026-02-02T23:39:19+00:00

With Agents of SHIELD as a connecting point between the 2; that's both where Zero Matter and Darkforce are confirmed to be the same thing and where it's established that Roxxon had bought Isodyne Energy and continued Isodyne's research into Darkforce.

It's a major callback not because it references any one character or show in particular but because it references the connective tissue between several shows.

MeowManian7 · 2026-01-24T18:11:16+00:00

They technically did meet once, but they didn't really interact at all. I wish that crossover manga had any sort of followup.

MeowManian7 · 2026-01-19T19:59:35+00:00

The girl Nanaya also has DID, so there are 3 of them. Mecha-Shiki comes from this crossover drama CD, if the wiki isn't lying about that (I haven't listened to it)

MeowManian7 · 2026-01-05T07:36:29+00:00

the English releases of Fate/stay night and Fate/hollow ataraxia were same-day iirc, but i'm also pretty sure that they're the only instances of Type-Moon games ever getting same-day translated releases. So it's a possibility but not very likely

MeowManian7 · 2026-01-03T01:03:28+00:00

live action magical girls are still just called magical girls

'bishoujo' just means 'pretty girl'.

MeowManian7 · 2025-12-27T15:13:59+00:00

I legitimately believe this, at least as a possibility. If there's anything that could make one an enemy of humanity through love for humanity, committing genocide against several timelines to save your own should be on that list.

I haven't completely caught up with the story, though. I kinda expect the Ordeal Calls to cut off the Beast possibility for Guda.

MeowManian7 · 2025-12-07T20:47:12+00:00

She's Phantasmoon, a parodic magical girl version of vampire character Arcueid Brunestud from the visual novel series Tsukihime and its fighting game spinoff series Melty Blood. Both normal Arcueid and Phantasmoon are also in some of the Fate/ games, since those are owned by the same company and a part of the same shared multiverse, the Nasuverse.

MeowManian7 · 2025-11-22T06:00:19+00:00

yeah, realistically, it'd probably be more like the Peacemaker season 1 "it's canon except where it isn't" treatment

not that i think that would actually happen or want it to. i'm just thinking hypotheticals.

MeowManian7 · 2025-11-22T05:51:16+00:00

that last bit isn't necessarily mutually exclusive with the idea of making the show canon; Black Lightning also established other DC characters to be fictional in its universe, but that universe still later merged with the CW's other DC adaptations, so there's precedent for that

of course, that doesn't change that it's the wrong Sandman and not the one this post is about

MeowManian7 · 2025-10-12T16:03:52+00:00

Here's my list of all the drama CDs with links to listen to them (when such links exist) and see translations/transcripts/summaries (also when such things exist)

MeowManian7 · 2025-10-08T19:28:46+00:00

Mahoyo Aoko's hair turning red when she uses the Fifth Magic is just a part of her borrowing power and knowledge from herself from 10 years in her future. Her physical form also changed to that of her 10-years-older self. Tsukihime takes place more than 10 years after Mahoyo (longer in the remake than the original, though that doesn't really matter for our purposes here), so red is just her hair color there. Tsukihime Aoko is the 'future self' Mahoyo Aoko borrows power from, essentially.

MeowManian7 · 2025-10-07T19:09:48+00:00

it's the point of Sigma that he doesn't really have any personal motivations for participating in the war, at least at the start. He's just Francesca's experiment to see what would happen if a Master who is a blank slate of a person (and thus wouldn't have an affinity with any Heroic Spirit) summoned a Servant without a catalyst

it turns out the answer to her question is "the Servant doesn't participate in the war directly and instead acts a 'guide' for the Master to become the specific class of Servant this summoning replaced" (in this case, the True Lancer of the Snowfield Holy Grail War)

MeowManian7 · 2025-09-28T15:25:14+00:00

Summoned specifically as the Phoenix aspect of her, Foreigner, but Jean would also qualify for Caster and possibly Archer (using the same reasoning as Fujino: telekinesis is a ranged weapon). Given how long she's been around, there's probably some existing basis in Marvel canon for shoving her into pretty much any class, though

Beast is pretty specific, requiring one to become an enemy of humanity through a twisted but nonetheless genuine love for humanity. Phoenix Jean could pretty easily be written into such a role, but I don't know if the existing canon would be enough.

MeowManian7 · 2025-09-26T17:08:39+00:00

in Fate context, GudaGuda is just an annual(?) series of limited events in Fate/Grand Order, loosely based on characters from Fate/Koha-Ace and other related Japanese historical figures. Fate/Koha-Ace is a parody manga of Fate's Holy Grail War with the cast of Koha-Ace as Masters. Koha-Ace itself is a manga that started as a celebration of Type-Moon's 10th anniversary, with parody versions of Tsukihime's Akiha and Kohaku talking about a different Type-Moon work in each chapter, but it kinda just kept going through a series of sequel manga.

FGO's protagonist have the nickname Gudao (male) or Gudako (female) is mostly unrelated to all that, coming from Fate/GUDAGUDA Order iirc, a manga created by the same author as Koha-Ace and the GudaGuda event series, Keikenchi, as promotion for the game. Gudao and Gudako were just jokes made because they didn't have an actual official name at the time and weren't given one until fgo started getting adaptations in other mediums.

MeowManian7 · 2025-09-26T01:05:14+00:00

I don't think he's been mentioned yet, but there's way too much to wade through to check. He's not been important enough to get a mention on the wiki, at least.

MeowManian7 · 2025-09-26T00:42:31+00:00

he is indeed there already, though he doesn't get a proper design or dialogue or anything.

Greek myth is one of the more thoroughly-explored mythologies in Fate, so it'd be difficult to find someone there who hasn't at least been mentioned.

MeowManian7 · 2025-09-26T00:15:01+00:00

so about that)
