GOD'S MAIDEN - Fate/Samurai Remnant - 11 

Nico: Penguins, I got one. I got one! Penguins: Great kid, don't get cocky!

Nico: ARIA STAY AWAY Aria this episode: okay *buffs enemy rogues instead* Nico: NO NOT LIKE THAT

"Kinoko Nasu" is the co-founder of Type-Moon, the company that produces the Fate games. He's the author Fate/Stay Night, the original VN. He supervises the lore of the franchise, even for games he doesn't personally write. He was a consultant for Samurai Remnant, for example. The reason the lore is called the "Nasuverse" is because, technically, there's more to the canon than just Fate. Before he wrote F/SN, he wrote a VN called "Tsukihime", and before THAT he wrote a series of light novels called "Garden of Sinners." There's also a VN written after F/SN called "Witch on the Holy Night." These other works don't really have anything to do with Fate in terms of characters or continuity, but the "big picture" is the same. The cosmology, rules of magic, power systems and whatnot are shared.

Nico: Man this Lancer's identity was quite easy to guess. It's Saber I'm having a hard time getting since I know little of Japanese history. *Meanwhile alternate timeline Japanese Nico* AltNico: Man this Lancer's identity is difficult to figure out since I know nothing of western history, unlike Saber who is easy to get.

I love how Nico is so used to playing melee characters at this point that he decided to fight a super strong grappling Berserker at point-blank range with an Archer. Then complains when said Berserker repeatedly power-slams Archer face first into the ground. Please never change Nico, your let's plays are always a joy to behold.

About Tsuchimikado: He... Exists? He's a real guy but no one important in history. A descendant of the legendary Abe no Seimei (allegedly) his family line were known as prolific onmyouji. However during the time Tsuchimikado was alive Onmyouji fell out of favor with the Tokugawa Shogunate running Japan, and so the importance of onmyouji faded away.

The way Rouge Berserker was waiting for Iori to get back, he looked like a kid in timeout, and he also joins the Berserker Thumbs up Club. Also Yeah, Mushashi would know a bunch of these guys: The Moble Game's base of operations is pretty much a Vacation for Servants.

So Nico the issue of Fate characters appearing in google searches for historical and mythological figures is an actual real documented issue. There was a study in which the effect was dubbed the Astolfo Effect. This is an actual thing that can be a thorn in the side of people looking for information on some figures.

To clarify many comments from last episode including Tanner’s, yes the original version of FSN Visual Novel is an eroge due to it having h scenes. Keep in mind though that those scenes are not the entirety of the game and are probably around 20-30 minutes in total compared to the visual novel which is about 100+ hours depending on if you 100% the game. So yes the original visual novel may have h scenes therefore it is classified as an eroge but it’s not just straight up porn the entire game. Also keep in mind at the time most visual novels in the early 2000s but not all of them included h scenes in order to drive sales which the creator Kinoko Nasu admitted he was urged by his friend and the Co-Owner of Type Moon Takeuchi to include the h scenes in order to drive sales. Thanks to the commercial success of the original release and the sequel, Nasu and Takeuchi released a remastered version without the h scenes in what they consider to be the definitive/final version and was also marketed as “the best” version. Anyway HOPEFULLY this clarifies a lot and won’t scare you from reading the visual novel in the future if interested as many of the best character and story aspects from Samurai Remnant are seen in the visual novel and one could argue portrayed even better.

I did a full playthrough of the original Fate visual novel, and it was fine because the newly fan made Ultimate Edition has toggles to fully remove all NSFW content. It might be my favorite video series I've done in my 15 years on RU-vid. I would highly, highly recommend doing a video on the original Stay Night visual novel (Ultimate Edition). Me and alllll my other Nasuverse fans have been frothing at the idea of getting someone new to check it out. We will gladly help you with anything if you want to play it! It is the next best place to go if you wanna continue down this insane rabbit hole with us.

as a Dynasty Warriors fan watching Zhou Yu's phantasm be the battle of Chi Bi and all its strategies condensed into a attack is HYPE AS FUCK

You made note of it but yeah, Musashi has been throwing in English words into her speech this whole time, not unlike a modern Japanese speaker. At this point in history, Japan mostly had contact with two western countries: Portugal (which at the time of the game had recently been banned from commerce with Japan) and the Netherlands. So English hadn't had the time to penetrate the language the way it has today in modern Japanese. The translation has been doing two things to try to convey that other people don't understand her: have her use various modern English colloquialisms, or, the much more common solution for "Japanese person speaking English in a translated game", have her use French words ("bijou" is French for jewel/gem). Then either Iori or Saber will repeat the word but written wrong or phonetically. The reason Musashi uses English is due to a certain... very silly visit to the USA in FGO (during which she pretended to be Iori and spent half the time in a mixed American flag print bikini and cowboy outfit). Here's an extra bit of cultural info: when Musashi introduced herself as a "god of wrath", she specifically name dropped herself as Fudo Myou. In East-Asian Buddhism but particularly in Japan, Fudo Myou was worshipped as a protector god and specifically one that destroys evil and removes obstacles. Whenever you use her Noble Phantasm, you'll hear her chanting a prayer to him and using his various names across Asia (Nioh Kurikara or Hayagrīva).

Fun fact: Your right Nico some characters are so popular and famous that if you look up the historical person without "Fate" add on you can possibly have the character to pop up. This can be both funny and shocking if you're a history teacher showing BLANK from history or myth to the class and a sexy anime character pops up front and center. Next to a painting or bust of the actual person.

I wonder why Boss wasn't effected by the control spell. Nico: Because he's too much of a god! *looks at Gil's heritage* Uhhhhhhhhh

Gilgamesh isn't kidding about being clairvoyant, by the way. He can literally see anything he wants to.

Archer just went about and used his Noble Phantasm on Rogue Berserker, to the point of sending him back to the storyboards and that STILL didn't put him down! Rogue Berserker is, by all definitions, a god damn monster.

Yes Nico, that is what Samson was known for! I won't confirm or deny your theory (because I'm not really a Fate expert either, I've hardly touched the series at all), but Samson's story in the Book of Judges is essentially that God bestowed him with superhuman strength on the condition that he never cut his hair or shave. Well, his lover was bribed by the Philistine officials to find out his weakness and report it to them. She asks, he lies or just doesn't answer, and eventually through sheer persistence, she gets him to cave. That night, she has someone cut Samson's hair, and he loses his strength. He's taken by the Philistines, his eyes are gouged out, and forced to work in a grain mill. Eventually he is brought to a temple with the officials, and he prays. He regains his strength, and uses it to bring the temple down on top of all of them, killing everyone including himself. Whether this is the correct option or not I'd say he'd make a pretty solid Fate character based on what we've seen so far.

Something about Noble Phantasm's is that a lot of Heroic Spirits either have multiple, or they have a sort of "watered down" version for use. Fireship Afloat is a watered down version of Red Cliff Calamity, which Archer used against Berserker. Red Cliff Calamity is the true Noble Phantasm.

*Nico reading Comment on the day and gagging at the thought* Nico: do you put it on your toast? Me: NICO, WHY DID YOU MADE IT WORSE?!

The Nasuverse is a collection of stories that have been written, or overviewed by Kinoku Nasu. These stories include: The entire fate series, Tsukihime, Mahoutsukai no Yoru (Witch on the holy night), and Kara no Kyoukai (or Garden of sinners). These series are distinct enough to not take place in the fate timelines, but run on similar principles. For example, for Fate and Tsukihime, magic works in exactly the same way, however it is Impossible to servants to be summoned in Tsukihime.

Nico: "Rogue Lancer, you're so tanky" FGO players: yeah, yeah he is

Possessed Aria appears Nico: Time to die, Aria! Aria buffs Rogue Archer and leaves Nico: DAMN IT! Aria laughs in the background, taunting Nico.

So, Nico, the reason it's called Nasuverse is because Nasu is the pen name of the main writer who started it, Fate is the most popular series in this verse, but it is not the only one, or the first one, there are other series as well. They're all owned by the same company, Type-Moon, but most of the fandom refers to it after the main writer Nasu.

Nico: **Controlling Archer** Also Nico: **Gets right up in the enemy's face anyway** Never change, Nico.😂

To clarify, Nasuverse is the term used for all the series created by Kinoko Nasu, which includes Fate. There are other works he created that crossover with Fate every now and then.

Fun fact, the Nasuverse is essentially the collective term for all of the games and media Kinoko Nasu, the writer for Fate VNs and other series, has done. While all of the Fate games are in the Nasuverse, there are other games and animes that aren’t connected to Fate directly, but are still connected to Nasu and his team hence the term.

I think Nico's scare tactics are working, the Tamamo Aria jumpscare around 06:00 actually got to me.

Nico: Nothing ever phase you Zhou Yu? ZHou Goujin: I just happen to seeen worst...and better.

I do love Musashi randomly sprinkling in English and the Japanese characters having absolutely no idea what she's saying. Probably a reference to her other Berserker form, her swimsuit version in the mobile game where she's wearing an American-print bikini and dual-wields gunblades.

After how much Nico liked Paranormasight was expecting a comment when they name dropped Tsuchimikado

Congratulations Nico! You got at least one Fate character’s True Name correct! At least you have one victory if nothing else for this LP! Also, Jeanne d’Arc is another fan favorite character and she has appeared in multiple games before this one!

Fun Fact of Noble Phantasms is that they are all very cinematic and thrilling to watch. So cinematic that I Fate/Grand Order, Noble Phantasms cannot be skipped (but there is an option to show a shortened version). Also, if a Heroic Spirit is unknown in Grand Order, it will still do the animation, but the name will be an alias or just be unknown. As someone who loves transformations, theatrical special attacks, and summons in games and TV, it checks all boxes for epic battles for me.

1:30:47 Not quite. Bijou is used in English to refer to jewels or pieces of jewelry and/or small intricate metalwork. It is borrowed from French language, where it also means "jewelry". In the Japanese text, Musashi simply peppers in English words in a way that's pretty common for modern Japanese, but would be confusing for 1651. Since that wouldn't work in English, the localizers in those moments have her use terms and expressions that weren't yet introduced into the English language by the middle of 17th century (as far as I can find, at least). For comparison, Mitsuru from Persona 3 has a similar gimmick of peppering in English into her speech, but in English localization it is instead French. I think Takao's story here serves as a reference to Takao II's deaths, historic and fictional. As far as we can tell, the second Takao Dayu died of illness (tuberculosis, presumably) when she was nineteen, while in fiction she was killed by a samurai, angry at her for rejecting his advances. Here both instead are repurposed into social issues of lacking healthcare (the woman Dayu brought medicine for) and wanton violence (the retainer that would have killed Dayu, had Musashi not appeared) that Yoshiwara courtesans have to face, and that Dayu hopes to overturn. At least, that's my reading of it.

In terms of pay off for side quest, being able to control multiple characters constantly, solid reward from quests and good crafting system etc. this seems like a much better RPG than what final fantasy 16 was

Kinoko Nasu is the creator of the Fate series, Tsukihime series, Melty Blood series, etc. and they are all in the same multiverse. So people over time have come to call this multiverse, the Nasuverse after the original creator. There are even key events that separate the Tsukihime and Fate where the same character appears in both universes and acts significantly differently because of the timeline divergence.

So the description of that Mystic Code that you got from Rogue Berserker doesn't give a good enough explanation for what it does. It doesn't mean the spaces around Iori or your Servants, it means adjacent spaces of *every claimed space of yours on the map.* So if you use it late into a Spirit Font board, you can rack up a considerable amount of spaces.

"Oh hey, Gil's NP is EX..." Yeah, here's the thing about that. If you took every single one of the other Servants in this story and set them against Gil, I'd bet on Gil. He would probably not even have to take the fight seriously. One activation of his NP, and they're *done*.

When Archer talked about the Flying General, he refers to another Three Kingdoms General that he knew of in his timeline. And he's also summoned as a Berserker.

Yeah, 'EX' in the Fate Stats means its Unique, Unmeasurable, Unidentifiable, Special and not necessarily always better then A+++.

To answer your question about Joan of Arc, yes! Joan of Arc has appeared on other Fate works, in fact, she is one of main characters in the anime Fate/ Apocrypha. If English dubs are your fancy, she is voiced by Erika Harlacher. A fun fact ;)

Every time a character says Jeanne D’arc in this franchise it always sounds like “John Dark” to me, so that’s what I end up calling her for kicks lol. But yes, she is in fact Joan of Arc, which explains why her noble phantasm has to do with fire considering…well…she was burnt at the stake due to accusations of witchcraft. Her saying prayers all the time is also a reference to her fate (pun intended), as it is said that she spent her final moments praying to God as she burned to death. Kinda messed up, but hey at least she seems to be over it!

Miyamoto sends saber shopping Saber returns Miyamoto:did you get you get the groceries Saber: yep Saber shows him all the bags of rice he bought Miyamoto: oh God what have I done

The Nasuverse is named after the creator Nasu Kinoko. Mainly due to the VN he wrote being in the same universe/universes. It consists of Fate and the other properties that were made by him. Its known to be complicated

Random Fate Trivia #10 This one goes out to Tanner for introducing Nico who opened his eyes to how the Fate series started. Let's dive into one of the more longstanding memes about the original eroge: the god awful (but all hilarious) sex scenes specifically. I should say this right now: there has been no official English version of the original. So we're going off of the assumption that everyone's playing the Realta Nua version, english patch by Mirror Moon. We good? Good. Remember, Fate is a fantasy series with its own set of rules and sometimes you have absolute gold mines in there that are so out of nowhere that it's REALLY funny, because its trying to incorporate fantasy elements to a simple act of lovemaking (the aforementioned mana transfer, yes it is 100% how Nasu wrote it, it still is how its handled in future mentions in the series). I won't specifically mention a scene in the original because again, that would constitute as spoiler territory but the eroge is chock full of badly written sex scenes, even when it's supposed to be super normal. You can chalk it up to maybe the translation was poor, but some of us have taken in the headcanon that Nasu really is that bad at writing sex scenes that the translation really does read as it being super weird (not helped by the other visual novels he's written that also has sex scenes). Because of said poor writing, the community likes to reference this by re-telling it exactly how it was translated/written. Completely out of context at times, but if you knew, you knew and you would laugh at it. Addendum: Oh, Nico did know about how bad the translation was! That makes it easier.

Props to Rogue Berseker, even when brainwashed he's polite enough to just stand there for a few minutes so Iori and co can communicate their plans and even banter a bit.

"Rogue Lancer you're fucking tanky man" Nico you don't even know the half of it.

Because Musashi is from after the events of the mobile game, she's acquainted with a LOT of Servants

Nasuverse is the name because the creator of the series is Kiniko Nasu, and he also created other games that exist in the same universe as Fate, like Tsukihime and Kara No Kyokai.

Note, with many of the comments here, let me tell you something. Kinoko Nasu is the pen name of the creator. Kinoko Nasu translates to Mushroom Eggplant. Which uh, considering the series started with r18 content is sorta hilarious.

When you really get down to it the servant on servant battles are like if FF16 had more Eikon fights and you controlled more than two. Which says a lot that the one on ones with these guys can be likened to a Kaiju brawl in another game.

I'd like to give a bit more info on Berserker class Servants. Some Berserkers can be known for being quite the rage addicts, fighting in a berserker state. But some aren't entirely known for it. The Berserker class is essentially a power boost. But the cost is what you see in the skills. Madness Enhancement...extra stat buffs but a high potential to lose the ability to speak a normal language. Berserkers have pros and cons. That's why Rogue Berserker has what looks like fluctuating volume symbols instead of words. I'm betting he wants to talk...but he can't. Also, you've narrowed down Rogue Berserker's identity with your guesses. His tale is in the Bible.

Just like Rogue Lancer and Gilgamesh, yep, Jeanne d'arc is definitely one of the popular ones. She indeed has showed up in multiple titles, 3 including this one. Her being here is likely a fanservice to some just like the other two (even though story-wise it kinda make sense). But, THIS Jeanne is still a big surprise in terms of the form she summoned in

OMG, I'm Comment of DAY! As for why it's called the Nasuverse, It's named after the Fate series creator Kinoko Nasu. It's called the Nasuverse because Kinoko Nasu's creations are interconnected by the "root" And Akashic Records.

Can't believe I'd see the day Jeanne would one day be in a NicoB LP thumbnail.

Fun fact: Nasu is the writer of Fate as well as Moon Princess (Tsukihime) and Boundry of Emptiness (Kara no Kyokai) series. All of them are connected by one "Watcher" character called Zelretch. This is why it is called the nasuverse. All different universe with some connective tissue.

Jeanne d'Arc is a main character in Fate/Apocrypha under the Ruler class (the same class as Gilgamesh in this game). She's also referenced in Fate/Zero, and probably also a summon in Fate/Grand Order.

I hope you are not getting overwhelmed by this series Nico cause there's much more to come

Jeanne D'Arc has shown up in other Fate media. Her and Musashi are the only Servants with Masters that have shown up in other Fate media.

One aspect of Fate that I love is the fact it does not shy away from some hard historical truths some other franchises may gloss over. Everything about the "pleasure district" is painfully honest here - yes, these are women who men look at through wooden jail cells to try and go in and pay to sleep with. However, many of them are literally trapped there, either financially or through other means. There's both nobility to this profession as well as the darkness of how society looks at it. Dayu wants to free her sisters, not out of guilt but out of genuine care for them. She's not good, she's not bad, she simply has a desire and will do whatever it takes to make it happen. The game doesn't bonk you over the head with ohhhhhhh!! Women who have sex!!!!!! but it also doesn't shy away from the truths of their situation. This aspect of the Nasuverse is unmatched in my eyes - never before have I seen a franchise where, say, an Indian character and a British character have a brutally honest talk about the effects of the Indian Mutiny on their cooperation. It has me Googling a lot, but that's a good thing.

"Use these two swords as you see fit, Archer!" So, like every other Archer, then?

I think this is the first time I've ever seen the Comment of the Day be used as a Wall of Shame, but that "man jam" comment 100% deserved it

At 48:16 , yep that's a typical Lancer stat sheet. Goddamn E rank Luck. This isn't anything serious but it's often the case that Lancers in main Fate entries have a horrific Luck stat with all the bad circumstances that could be associated with that.

Yup nasuverse is named after the creator of fate. This is because he not only does fate stories but it includes his other works as well. And all of it is canon. Every single work. Fate, melty blood and more. Honestly if u see the nasuverse timeline, it is so complicated that it makes kingdom hearts look like straightforward story by comparison.

After nico showed the comment of the day, and mentioned it going with bread, i just thought: "so, thats why she wanted a kitchen knife, i guess she would also put that toast into her toaster". Lmao

So! The Nasuverse. You asked, so let me give you the abridged version! Nasuverse is taken by the creator of the Fate Series, Kinoko Nasu. Nasu and a few others are responsible for the company behind the OG Visual Novel, Type Moon, and LOVES connecting their works together to create a whole universe (read: Nasuverse) full of mystics, magic, and man jam. Fate is a part of this Nasuverse, but within Fate is a Kaleidoscope of different timelines, events, so on so forth. Looking at it all from the outside is. Scary, to say the least! So now that you're inside it, I'm sitting down waiting for all the dominoes to fall. >:)

You call THAT disgusting, Nico? Hmph. Weak. Didn't even stop me from eating my food!

...Dayu's my favorite character now. By far. 🥺

Yeah when you first guess Jeanne I was like "Damn he got it really quickly" but I refrained myself from overtly going "You got it" because I didn't want to spoil it. However, I only know Jeanne because she's super duper popular lmao.

Heh. Man Jam. That reminded me of the "Love nectar" being in the certain anime protagonist cookies 💀

Iori: Why did we have to fight Rogue Lancer?! Saber: How should I know?! *Aria appears and buffs Rouge Archer and makes a bunch of weird noises during the fight* Nico: SHUT UP YOU HORNY FOX!

Nico: What's a Nasu? Kinoko Nasu is the co-founder of Type-Moon and is author which had created the Fate series. He was convinced to put in H scenes into the original Visual Novel by the other co-founder of his company to help boost its sales. And the Nasu-Verse refers to the collection of series that he created which share elements and concepts. Concepts that aren't touched upon or properly explained in Samurai Remnant. Also, if your wondering, no servants and masters are not concepts shared between each series in the Nasu-verse. They're a Fate thing. Of course, there are some official crossover between different parts of the series. With certain installments being canonically sequels to what came before. An example of this is the Tsukihime series, and its remake, being a Sequel to Witch on the Holy Night. Ironic since Tsukihime released in 2000 while Witch on the Holy Night came out in 2012. Anyway, there series that aren't suppose to crossover due to being fundmentally different in major way. An example of this is Fate and Tsukihime. However, this rule for the pair had been broken a few times. With Fate/Strange Fake, Carnival Phantasm(highly recommend you watch), Melty Blood Type Lumia, and the FGO JP 2022 anniverssary servant. -We FGO players did recieve a trailer Tsukihime collab years ago that the devs made as a joke for April's Fools.

Nico, on the stats, I think NP stands for Noble Phantasm At this point as someone who knows fuck all about fate, Musashi just feels like the protagonist, strong as hell, spunky and does what she wants, has been traveling from world to world and knows most of these servants. Also is a hot woman, one thing I learned is that Fate likes to make historical and mythical beings into anime girls

At the top of the episode you said something to the effect of “I wonder if it would be possible to play through the fate VN with all of *that* stuff.” And while I don’t have an answer - I wanted to say that as a fan, I’d love to see you do one of your reaction abridged shows for Fate/Stay Night: Unlimited Blade Works!

It's called Nasuverse since it includes Tsukihime, Melty Blood, Garden of Sinners, NOTES, Tsuki-ni-Sango, and of course: Fate/ and all its spin-offs (may be missing some lesser known series) and the fact they all share a multiverse of sorts and for the most part they're all written by Kinoko Nasu, Type-Moon's owner, or he has a hand in them.

Its kinda weird seeing Jalter all melancholy when she's usually tsundere trying to be an edgelord. Guess this version is a weird middle-ground of both Jeannes.

the further you go into the game, the stronger Iori becomes, and thus the more optimal it is to bring the devil I mean Tamamo Aria as the support Rogue servant, so that's fun for you.

I would say honestly checking out the visual novel wouldn't be a bad idea especially since the version most people read nowadays is called the "Ultimate Edition" which allows you to choose ingame whether you read the original release with the H-scenes or the modern Realta Nua Scenes (Which the all-ages version is called). As others have said checking out the original scenes could be worth it just because of how unintentionally funny they are sometimes which I do agree with. Honestly though no matter what you do I would love to see what your thoughts are on Fate/Stay Night as it's my favorite visual novel so the more people that read it the better!

I hope this game encourages you to check out the beginning of the series with Fate/Stay Night at some point in the future, before the rest of the series, since so much of that game can be spoiled by other entries in the series. Would be really cool to see you go through it while you're still fresh on the series.

Aria: Well you don't like me remember. Teeheehee, Nico: Come on! Make yourself legal!

I never needed to know about "man jam" as a term

As many others have said, don't let the fact that Fate started as an eroge dissuade you from reading the original VN. The ultimate edition that exists online is a patch of a rerelease without the sex scenes, with the options to turn off only some censorship (some scenes are meant to be dark and the rerelease kinda overcorrected them), choose the original soundtrack or a remaster and so much more. The visual novel is easily my favourite story of all time, and I would love to see you tackle it.

An intersting anecdote. In the original fate it was extremely rare, story wise, for the masters to fight alongside the servants. Even in the prequel t othe original when the main character was a combatant and a mage he couldn't couldn't even keep up. guess people of this age are made of sterner stuff.

"Nasuverse" refers to the name of the original author of Fate, Nasu.

Biggest shock of the episode was Nico pulling a grudge on all of us... I thought the comment of the day thing was meant to be wholesome, not spiteful.

So here's a rundown of terms in case you're confused, Nico. Kinoko Nasu: The creator/writer of the original Fate VN, as well as other stories created under Type Moon. Type-Moon: The doujin group turned multi-million dollar company Co-Founded by Nasu and his best friend/Illustrator Takeuchi that published their works. This includes VNs, Novel, Manga, and Games. Nasuverse: the term coined by fans referring to Kinoko Nasu's body of work, of which include stories that uses the same magic system/ world building. This includes Visual Novels like Tsukihime (Moon Princess) and Light Novels like Kara No Kyokai: Garden of Sinners. Eroge: Games that have elements of sex scenes being explicitly shown as content. While the Original Release of Fate/ Stay Night did have spicy scenes, it was never the focus of the story as it was mostly there to explain the concept of Mana Transfer. An all-ages version dubbed Realta Nua version was released, replacing said sex scenes with other ways to transfer energy. Mana Transfer: a term lovingly coined by fan translators Mirror Moon for their work on the Fate/ Stay Night VN as an act of giving mages energy. There are different ways to do this, but the VN mostly use this term to refer to the spicy actions. Just to be clear, the the very spicy scenes were not written well and are always the butt of jokes when referring to the VN's infamous spicy scenes. It was speculated to be due to how Nasu badly wrote the spicy scenes.

It'll be hilarious if Rouge Assassin is actually Kiryu Kazuma as an old man

the franchise is called the nasuverse because 1) the guy who made it is called Nasu and 2) while Fate shit is like the majorty of it, there are other works tied to the setting that arne't a part of the Fate franchise and are their own things but still a aprt of the same universe, such as Tsukihime (which is about vampires). also if you were able to do it I'd love it if you managed to play the original Fate Stay Night in its uncensored glory. It should be noted that while its an eroge due to having sex scenes in it, however unlike msot eroge (especially these days) the sex scenes are very few in number and infrequent, allowing later editions to create censored, alternative scenes to replace them. However I do think the sex scenes work in context of how they build relationships and how characters act and stuff (Like watching the first anime version based on FSN without the context behind a certain scene originally being a sex scene that wasn't put in the anime or obvious reasons made me think how a certain character acted after it felt SUPER weird, you kinda need the context of "these characters FUCKED" for their behaviour after to make sense)

"Who the Hell Says Man Jam" Kiniko Nasu did, when he wrote the OG VN's sex scenes. He hates them too, so they never appear in any future games.

"Does it go in your toast?" Uogh... I imagined it... and I'm eating... that's nasty, come on... DX

The Nasuverse, or Type Moon Shared Setting is a term for stuff written by Type-Moon. Kinoko Nasu being head writer, personally wrote it all before they got popular, then they hired guys who write spinoffs, and help write the mobile game. Fate Samurai Remnant is written by the spinoff guys and Koei's own writers. It's mostly alternate timelines, with lots of shared concepts and occasional characters. Stuff like how the magic system works, Mages' Association, Servants, Vampires, general history, etc. Fate is way larger than the rest of it combined, but some of the other characters that Nasu wrote pop up in various titles. Every Fate fan knew it was Jeanne from the start. Jeanne d'Arc (blue version) is a protagonist of Fate/Apocrypha, and Jeanne d'Arc Alter is a breakout character in the mobile game. Frankly, the mobile players worked out most of the Servants nearly as soon as they were announced.

I never laughed so hard from a comment of the day before😂

Nico, you can actually use items when you are controlling Lancer or any other playable characters, that's how you can spam affinity skills like charging your Noble Phantasm.

5:39 - Hey nico, there is a remake of the game. I don't know if it was ever translated and it added minigames and stuff and it basically got rid of all the sex scenes.

Rogue Berserker: Square up little man! Nico: Oh..That's why. Archer and Berserker: Sorry we're late.

FSN Visual Novel got remade to get the H-scenes removed. It is called Fate Stay Night Realta Nua. That version is best for Let's Plays.

48:12 what makes you think that a heroic spirit is limited to just one noble phantasm, there are heroes like perseus who was gifted many items that became noble phantasms thanks to his deeds

I’m just explaining this real quick, the NP stat refers to their noble phantasms, essentially their strength or effectiveness I believe

Nasuverse is a term for the Type-Moon multiverse. In case you don’t know, Type-Moon is the company in charge of Fate as well as other series (Tsukihime, The Garden of Sinners, Witch of the Holy Night, etc.) that are all part of the same multiverse/parallel timelines. Nasu is one of the founders of Type-Moon alongside Takeuchi, the former is the head writer of Type-Moon as a whole and the latter is his illustrator buddy. Nasuverse itself is a fan term that has stuck around since forever to talk about anything Type-Moon related. Edit: Interesting thing about Jeanne d’Arc is that this is a case of an “Alter” Servant. Alters are a kind of corrupt form that a Servant can be in, and there are many ways it could happened. 1. Corruption from outside force (either during or after being summoned) that disrupt their ideals and beliefs and making them doing things outside of their morals. 2. Summoned as an Alter Servant, summoning an aspect of them that are either usually antithesis to their overall image. 3. Fictional Servant derived from the existing ones created from powerful artifacts (Like the Holy Grail) that is intentionally created to fits the creator’s ideal instead of their original’s. These are impossible to summon normally as they are case-specific. 4. The Servant intentionally letting go of their ideals, compromising the most important part of their legend and becoming an Alter. 5. Sometimes they’re categorized as an Alter because they’re from a different timeline or a “What ifs” (Musashi isn’t considered one btw, this category is inconsistent) These tends to have different power sets from their original self so Jeanne here have vastly different kit than when she’s usually summoned (Her default class is Ruler). Btw the whole Alter thing is never explained here, nor is she called Jeanne d’Arc Alter, just Jeanne d’Arc

Poor Rouge Lancer Jobbered again.

I won’t say obviously, but I think I’ve figured out Sabre, and I feel very very smart. Doing research is fun!
