Thankfully, there probably won't be anything this big in the future. There aren't any other Companions available and I don't believe that any other perks have as many freebies as Devil May Cry's Weapon Crafting did.

@LordRoustabout with how large the new ability lists are getting, might I suggest a divider between the actual story and the list?
Even Bolding this line would make the format much nicer to read through.
I've never played Monster Hunter and wasn't remotely attached to the concept of the Felyne. Honestly, to me Aisha learning everything in VR land was far more important. And even more important it was only 8 hours for 5 minutes of time. So what if she can't train muscle memory and actual magical skills in there yet. (Cause you know an upgrade to it might happen some time.)
I'm just curious about her coming out with basically a general college level degree in an hour or two. It's even more amazing some of the little bits that she's been picking up around them.
Her being rather curious about the new guy was sort of backward. Came off as a tad bit rude. O.k. She was asking Joe, but she was basically asking for all the new guy's powers/abilities and such. Shrugs seemed a bit much to me. Cat guy didn't seem insulted over it.
What really came off was Joe was focused on the crafting thing and his side kick was a mere fighter. Any mere fighter going through jump chain stuff and focused will be rather awesome.
I'm hoping cat guy didn't automatically take up the spiral power thing that Joe was able to assign to someone else.
O.k. the vibe that I got. Hop back in VR for another intense session. She'd learn how to understand cat.
I'm actually hoping that Joe will brave up and ask Aisha about the transhuman thing and how much is she remotely comfortable with.
Do you know what's really funny? Joe can legitimately say that he isn't the strongest guy on his team now.
Tetra was adorable being all worried that her place as the team furry was being taken over. Nope. New guy is totally different from you Tetra. Actually, isn't wearing Tetra about the same as whatever divine life-draining stuff was just mentioned? It's hard to really compare different settings.
Tetra, you are the cute adorable one. He's the scary strong fighter one.

Holy smokes, that's a lot of companion based abilities. I like the idea of this Felyne companion, but he seems more than a little ridiculous.
Wait a second, does Joe also have the chance to roll the awesome op Glory to Me perk in the forge? Or does Glory to Me not exist as a perk in the forge and Joe will never get it?

Huh, does this bit mean that Tybalt can also stunt like a madman all day long? 'cuz that seems like it would definitely apply to Companions.
I don't see why it would, that makes no sense. Tybalt's getting it from the companion import option, while the granting ability is part of the perk that gives Joe Spiral. Arguably, Tybalt might even be able to grant Spiral to an additional person, in addition to the one Joe can grant.

I mean the logic is sound, a true Companion isn't meant to be static next to their leader, they're meant to grow along with them. If Joe had gotten Tybalt way back in the first few chapters we would've been treated to him tagging along on Joe's power curve. In this case, Tybalt has gotten his own flavor of every single one of Joe's major advancements, all at once no less.
He's also probably weaker than Joe if you tally everything up. Sure, he has nigh-limitless divine dominion over any and all aspects relating to War, along with a plethora of support powers and equipment gathered from across no less than seven wildly different franchises; but I'd be willing to bet that when the chips are down he wouldn't be able to eclipse Joe's combined variability and power.
Personally, I can't wait for the other seven Companions to eventually show up. If Joe gets put this out of whack by pulling one now, I can't wait to see the results of Companions appearing once he has even more powers.

Now that Joe has unlocked the Capstone constellation, he can get Glory to Me as well as Glory to the Legion once he rolls it and accumulates the 800CP each.
Here's the WoG relating to both being there.
On the Glory to... capstone:
WoG says Tybalt can't. Just one additional Spiral user total. Here's the WoGs.
On if the person Joe grants Spiral can spread it and on if the Felyne can grant it to another too:
"How many Spiral Beings will exist? I count Joe, Felyne, Avid Glove, and Joe's pick (list excludes duplicates).":

Correct me if I'm wrong, but Joe hasn't gotten a whole 800 all at once yet, has he? I almost don't want to see the oncoming realization that there's a level beyond the 600 range he currently holds as the pinnacle of the Forge. …nah, I totally want to see it.

You're correct. It's very unlikely that Joe will reach the point of accumulating that many points as well as rolling one of the 800CP perks once he get that amount. However, it is possible and Joe will get it eventually. Just wanted to make it clear that the perk was there.
You mean Companion perks? Cause there's no more Companions after the Felyne. The Kerbals don't count as Companions.

Both Glory to Me and Glory to Legion are in the forge, with one in the capstone constelation and one in another one. its a coin toss the first time its rolled successfully, with the other time giving the other one.

It's the Capstone constellation. It was gained as a result of Joe rolling Weapon Crafting and therefore clearing the Crafting
WoG:
There's a list of the currently known possible as well as WoG confirmed capstone perks in the Reference Sheet. Just go to the Capstone Perks tab either at the bottom of the screen (PC) or top (mobile).

Just a bit spooky
This was a fantastic and fun chapter to read- also... I see what you did there, with that Parallel to the Locker event Worm is so well known for 
That aside, fun chapter and now Joe has a designated War expert. Oh dear.
Now I'm all the more eager to see the coming meeting, given that instead of "One Man, Aperion" he's going to be coming in with a full crew decked out in top of the line Aperion gear. I almost expect people to faint realizing that he's been working with six? other people who will be assumed to be on a similar scale to him.
...Actually, that might calm them down as they'd assume that multiple tinkers/strikers are working together in this group with Aperion a the "Face"... huh.

Said Cat could already single-handedly curb-stomp the local protectorate, if not the organization as a whole. Glory to Me explicitly allows you to fight on par with mid-tier Gods, and Tybalt is the child of a War god, which inevitably boosts that even further. That's probably "1v1 an endbringer"-tier strength, at minimum. I don't know exactly how the Endbringers' true strength matches up against the strength of deities, but I figure they're roughly on the same level.
I don't think that the 8 companion import slots imply that there will be another 7 companions in this fic. Did LR not explicitly say in that update that the Felyne was treated as a companion because the jump specifies that it's a free companion? and as Cosmic said here:
there are no other companions in the forge.
Is Warrior-Cats a thing on Earth Bet? I never read or understood the whole Warrior Cats thing, but I think Tybalt fits the description "Warrior-cat" pretty precisely.
I propose that RNGesus is one of the regulars in the thread. or Lady Luck. or another fortune-associated deity.
Hey, wasn't there some insane overlap between Einsbern alchemy and get set? Cause magic is stored in the hair, and Joe now had infinite hair, wasn't there an WoG that meant that he now had infinite mana through that?

Maaaan. Another Felyne in another Celestial X fic.
That just makes me think 'Felynn are cooler' and also - hey, there is exactly one crafting relevant power in disgaea, and it would be a power that creates a sentient being.

Someone with a better handle on balancing the Celestial X docs can probably make some improvements to that wording, but I'm hecking lazy. Also not saying Joe should do this, I think IW grinding would be interesting for all of one encounter tbh. But it did come to mind and need to get out

Yep, you're right. Here's the WoG.
"Finally, are there any perks that you're especially looking forward to getting, not necessarily because they're useful (like M/E) but because of how fun, or maybe "Fun", they'd be?":
