Randomly, thank you for hiding the Ordeal Call talk. As a NA only player, your author appreciates it - though I suppose I'm only a few months away from figuring out what's going on, as LostBelt 7 is only a few months away.
SOON. KUKU WILL BE MINE.

Can't speak about the bondage part, but what she means by prayer is actually just her using her fists to pummel Tarasque into submission. She, however, does not wish to admit to this.
In the original event, Mash threatened to tie Martha up - and she got VERY flustered by it. Not really been a thing in her character since, but I felt like referencing it.

Even if the story doesn't make it that far, would you be willing to at least make a canon omake about that fight and the close brush with Chaos shortly thereafter?
If I don't make it to the LostBelts - and I do want to do them, but I have no idea how enthused I'll be by the time I finish Part 1 - and I am GOING to finish part 1, barring something really unforeseen. But if I don't do the LostBelts, I'm certainly going to occasionally bang up a few short vignettes of slices of what would have gone down in them.
That said, my enthusiasm to write for this thing hasn't waned in the slightest, coming on the one year anniversary of this thing, so if nothing else I don't feel I'm losing any desire to write. It's entirely 100% because of you lot - you're an incredible bunch. Again, thank you for the commentary, feedback, and just being you lot.
You're wonderful.

I know we have a while to get to the seventh singularity, but I just ran into Ruler Gilgamesh in Fate Samurai Remnant, and his story so far is that he was summoned to moderate the Waxing Moon Ritual, promptly lost interest, and opened up a wholesale shop in Edo called Babiloni-ya where he gives away free candy made in his likeness to kids as long as they praise him. Imagine the Chaldea group's reactions if they meet this variant first before meeting a (somehow) even more arrogant version.
Boss was a treat in Samurai/Remnant.

I see. Shifting away from the topic of Ordeal Call (irony since I'm the one who introduced it, but I feel we've exhausted the topic enough) and relating back to the main story, I seriously hope that Olga gets that new puppet body soon. Because unless GoW's Giant magic works off the same source as the 3rd Magic Heaven's Feel, Olga's Soul should be deteriorating.
Then again, seeing how well Jormungandr's soul was preserved and how well it did in its new body, maybe that is the case. In which case, I'm more surprised that no one in Chaldea, Servants included, lost their minds over the presence of foreign magic that works off of the Third True Magic.
I wasn't even aware of the soul degradation thing - but since I now am, I'm largely choosing to ignore it, or to say that the marbles the Giants made for themselves in the God of War universe aren't subject to that, since their entire plan was to abandon their bodies and hide until the Aesir forgot about them or were gone.
As you noted, whomever the Boi put in that snake didn't seem to lose a step after being in that marble for who knows how long.

Not to mention the 5th grail war and FGO are the exceptions within the setting rather than the rule. They're just the ones we see the most of.
Yeah. My knowledge of the Third and preceding wars is a single sentence - the Einzberns summoned an Avenger class, which corrupted the Grail and led to the problems of the following two wars. If there's any more information about the first three Wars, I've never seen them anywhere. I've seen fanon that the first war was just a complete shitshow - given it was the first one, and no one really knew what to expect, I tend to lean that way. Anytime you're doing or releasing something for the first time, be it a theme park ride, a store, restaurant, video game (release or expansion), etc etc, there's always hiccups. I wouldn't expect a new Ritual that involves summoning super powerful ghosts that devolves into a Royal Rumble to be any different.
And then the other Grail Wars we see are always massive clusterfucks beyond even the established structures. Apoc being a Grand War with 14 Servants and some additions. Strange/Fake being a Fake War with additional participants. Redline at least seems to be sticking to 7, but we've got time travel causing a ruckus there. Don't know enough about Requiem (the one where my Better Half's Space Son is from) to comment on that one.
