Explaining The Lore Of The Bond CEs (Assassins) 

04:00 "Origin" is a Nasuverse term that refers to a trait that defines one's existence, originating from the Root. It is something that once it awakens, it leads the person's life to follow that path to the point of becoming instinct. Lio Shirazumi from Garden of Sinners, for example, has the Origin of Consumption, which lead him to the path of cannibalism. Kiritsugu's Origin is "Cut and Connect", severing something and then trying to bind it back together with no particular skill, which is for example why he is bad at fixing machines. His Origin Bullets are created with utilizing his Origin as a Mage Killer, first destroying the target's Magic Circuits and then sloppily putting them back together until they are left as a mess. Phantasm Punishment, his knife, is the same idea as a melee weapon.

Something to add about Nero, specifically Nero Bride, in regards to Locusta: During one of their lavish parties, which often ranged from 3 days to 2 weeks, Nero was presented with a small bag of mushrooms. Nero, wary of such gifts, chopped up one of them and fed it to one of his dogs. The dog died in minutes. He gave the bag to one of his servants with instructions to put them into a soup and feed it to his kid brother, Brittanicus, which did kill him, but didn't earn ire or a gross response from the public at all. The servant that presented the mushrooms and prepared this soup? Locusta herself. Nero already admired her fascination with assassination via poisons and had her form a sort of cabal to train up more assassins for employment by the emperor. It was this same party also where it was when Nero spotted a certain boy slave that strongly resembled his late wife (who he kicked to death earlier that year because she dared to ask him a question). Nero then dressed up in a bridal gown, had the slave castrated, and declared marriage to him with the slave named as the wife. During the reception, the emperor declared an impromptu gladiator tournament, not in the colliseum but on the grounds of his royal domus aurea, where he killed at least 5 random impromptu combatants (read: unaware party guests) still wearing the gown. It was also this same party where Nero sent away his mother, Agrippina, on a rigged boat, to her death. She would survive this attempt on her life, being saved by her lone servant on the boat, only for her to be hunted down by Nero's assassins, who carried her back on spears, through public streets, thus earning disdain for his rule for the cruel treatment of his own mother, who was considered to be more loved by the public (even though the family was not liked, it goes to show that even 2000 years ago, people still played favorites, so alas, no love for Brittanicus). Thus, the activities produced by this party alone became the catalyst for the chain of events that caused Nero to be deposed and nearly stripped of authority by the Senate, only to escape imprisonment, via a very public suicide, but still be named as Emperor (despite the tried and failed efforts by the Senate to totally erase Nero from Roman history). I learned this mostly from the channel Tasting History and then some hours down the rabbit hole it sent me. Just look up ancient Roman barbecue sauce. The final fact is that Locusta would be hunted down and killed by Nero's successor, Galba, days after Nero's death. Galba would not enjoy a long rule, only ruling for only a few months before being ambushed by the soldiers of the next man to assume the title of emperor, Vitellius, who himself, would also be the second of 4 men to be killed for that royal title that very same calendar year, 69 AD.

With the little we know of Odin in Fate, I hope that one day we'll have him as an official Servant instead of just having Cu Caster as a proxy.

My favourite bond CE god I love gray, she deserves all the head pats and cuddles for what her village did to her

As always, Gramps never ceases to amaze me

It's really interesting to see that Cleopatra commited suicide through a snake, since I think there was this Snake of Egypt's end in the myth, and she was of course, the final Pharaoh

I hate how Tezcatlipoca's Bond CE tries to claim that he is not a jaguar god instead being a snake god, even though he very clearly is a jaguar and there's also nothing stopping him from being both a snake god and a jaguar god at the same time. Something I also don't like about his Bond CE is how it tries to undermine the Eagle Warriors by claiming they were not an actual military rank when they very much were.

Also aditional info for tez bond ce there a ton of ammo and weapon there because tez LOVE modern weapon

12:10 the problem is that she is the bride in the situation while male(the thing you want to ignore out of existence)is the husband but it just a different prospective

11:29 really hits hard when you say it like that ahhhhhh 😭

These are always interesting to watch and give some nice insights, especially on the less used servants.

tez's ce makes his make looks really cool, i get the idea of his art but man, the pose on his 2nd ascend really needs some work

9:33 THERE'S MY GIRL!! THE WOMAN WHO I GOT TO LEVEL 120 YESTERDAY!!! I am so proud that I am one of the few people that will get Yu Mei Ren to level 120 for no reason other than I really love her and find her to be one of my favorite characters in fgo.

8:43 yeah jump on-in there with her lol

14:21 they even make you grow

For Huyan Zhou's bond CE, if the name pilgrimage star sounds familiar, you might have TCG experience. Since her title in Chinese is "Tenyi" (天威) Which is one of the yugioh archetype.

These are so good.

I'm curious Klidge, what's your opinion on Tez being the Fill In Grand Assassin for Gramps while he is in Chaldea?

Euryale and Stheno aren't fate creations, they exist in Greek mythos.

11:34 SYMPHOGEAR BABY! WATCH it. It's an order

Gramps.... never merged with the Death Angel. He has a technique named after him... that's it.

Awesome video!

14:12 that’s way Black Panther is born

20 seconds neat!

Unrelated sort of, but doesnt tez and quetz's rivalry make you think of the tiger and dragon rivalry found in some asian cultures? Just replace tiger with jaguar and dragon with a feathered serpent

If Odin actually thinks guns are cool then I'm dumping all my saint quartz on him.

Sassy-ssins

I just watched casters yesterday 😊

am I the only one that wants to have a taste of Shuten's wine?
