space musashi. they can make it so she got transported just before she died into the servant universe or some goofy summer plot line like that. they can maybe give her a costume or make a new version idk.
Musashi will come back... I mean, she already died in Shimosa and at the end she more or less said that it was just another version of her. I think something like that. I could also imagine that she will become a boss who was corrupted by chaos and we have to hammer sense and understanding into her.
No that was Musashi but in that time she was alive in the end of the chapter dies became servant and Olympus helping destroy chaos she completely destroyed her self Data Lost.
I don't know how to feel about Musashi returning, on the one hand I lover her. But on the other hand, her end was so beautiful and poetic that I worry about her coming back in a fashion that just ruins her first... second end. Then again, third times the charm...
As Musashi lover I believe she'll be back. They can't leave her at data lost status forever. Copium or not a lot of the theories make sense. Merging with male Musashi I already if thought this is a possibility is probably the most believable and we could get two in one situation. Or her heroic act gave her place as Grand Saber and reason she didn't appear until now is the world only call grands when they needed. Think about it this way. Her whole journey was actually to show us a path to becoming grand. It would be epic. I don't care about the grand title (tho she does deserve it) she's already grand in my heard I just want her back. Outer god Alter version who made contract with Olga Some BB shenanigans with mooncell Might be copium but I do think she'll be back somehow. She's popular and things were unclear for a reason + the buff and her shadow on Samurai remnant collab + the scenes and CE's. She's still there somewhere awaiting her big return when she's most needed as she always did. Let's believe in her and hope for her return soon.
Dobrynya Nikitich looks so good in that dress and very happy to have her in JP, sadly missing her on NA (luckily she isn't Limited or Story locked). Also let's not forget (I know it's not same) that Musashi first-rate up was almost a year before her story appearance in Shimosa and then after not been in any story content for a while The Lost Summer (sad NA didn't get a Re-run as I want Melt Story), so maybe a Servantverse Musashi or Santa Musashi will appear this year. We did after all finally get Swimsuit Ereshkigal, which been asked for since Swimsuit Isthar.
With OC III around the corner and clearly being about the Original Moon Cancer and her Alter Egos, the rank up would fit perfectly in this chapter. The Moon Cell is meant to see everything on earth and record it. It recreates people as AI from its observations as a core function. There are clearly elements of the Extra and CCC games as a part of this storyline and one of the key elements of those games is Julius Harwey. Julius dies in the original and continues to exist as corrupted data and in CCC he's called by BB to help her by being a double agent and betraying Hakuno. But Julius doesn't blame Hakuno and has made their peace with them so he instead turns on BB. Hes a being of corrupted data that did not completely vanish that is Julius Harwey but also not. I think given the fact that Musashi is "Data Lost", this is likely the best way to bring her back. Data Lost is a title that wasnt even achieved by King Solomon when he removed himself from the Throne of Heroes. Its not her, but a wraith of sorts formed by a recreation of her data. She has all the experiences and character of the Musashi we knew, but is not truly the same. The real Musashi is dead and her arc is finished, but there can still be a separate "after" version. Her appearance as corrupted data is forced to be temporary in the main story, but its possible that observing a record of her data allows Chaldea to summon a version of her again. Mash can get her much needed closure with Musashi without rendering Musashi's ending meaningless and it doesnt have to be a different Musashi who is only an imitation of the original. If Musashi is showing up, I do think it is probably now or never with this event and her well-timed rank up.
Chaotic Head thought but.... What if Musashi returns as a Beast of the Void? Every Beast LOVES humanity to an extent, is that not correct? S what are he possible chances for that to happen? Yes, I know, its far fetched for an idea, but it could hold merit. And if correct, imagine the craziness that could entail.
After they put that "Data Lost" on her icon.. i always got a feeling that she will come back, because theres no way they just gonna leave that data lost thingy in her icon forever in game..
Knowing how liked Musashi is, I imagine Lasengle wouldn't miss out on all that free money that bringing Musashi back would give them. I just hope they bring their back with some consequences, otherwise it might devalue her sacrifice against Chaos. Talking about theories as to how she might come back, I could imagine something like her having ended up sealing herself together with Chaos, and her coming back merged with Chaos itself or something else, and if its something out of our reality, she would maybe come back as a Foreigner. I do really like the idea of her tagging along with male Musashi, if we ever get him as a servant though
In all honesty though. There's no way Musashi is "Dead". If you've read up on your Nasuverse lore, Musashi cutting through "Void" could potentially mean she entered the "Root". She may even re-emerge as a Servant that's touched the Root of Akasha.
I think male musashi should be the one we meet. Maybe its a nobu situation where female musashi tagged onto his spirit origin because its the only way she can exist(or leave a record of her existence) but they keep teasing male musashi without showing him.
Isn't our Musashi in Samurai Remnant?, I mean when summoned she comments that the bersk spirit origin is not the one she used to, and she makes some comments using modern lingo that leave the normal Edo era cast confused.
Samurai Remnant takes place between Shimosa and Olympus. Remember she's a mobile singularity and can move between timelines similar to the way Dantes does. Her original timeline was culled, and she was not a heroic spirit when we first ran into her. I'm convinced she'll return at some point as Grand Saber. Her feat sealing away Chaos would defiantly make her qualified. Of course, Grand Servants who formally contract with a master and abandon their purpose as a grand has them giving up that power. I do see her getting a new version if she does become grand saber. Perhaps something that reflects her deeds in Olympus as someone who defeated a primordial god in single combat.
