First. Literal pain bomb. The most painful thing she ever suffered. Hands down. She also still has the remnants of those spikes Foil put in her shoulder still fused to her bone because she never had them surgically removed.

Second. That rude little cat-dog-squirrel-rabbit-thing! How dare he!

Also has Taylor told anybody that in the event of her death retrieving her corpse is a moderately high priority because it's also a summoning catalyst. That seems like something somebody on the team should know.

That would be a very fun conversation for sure.

And one very Taylor thing: In the event of my death, use my corpse to summon me back and fix the problem, fix it with multiple boosted bugs.

Like Gold Morning. Having my arm burned off. Having my body shorn in half. Having my brain put through a blender. Any one of those alone would have been horrible enough, but I'd also had the dubious honor of living through a Slaughterhouse Nine attack, fighting Endbringers on the regular, and nearly getting immolated on my first night out.

surprised the litteral pain bomb bakuda made wasn't mentioned, the one that activated every pain receptor she had, a litteral 11/10 on the pain scale and the reason why she later on became such a determinator, cause when you've experienced an 11, a 7 starts to feel more like a 4 or 5

It's always surprising to see how many people forget about Cath Palug when the fuzzy little bastard shows up.

A great chapter as always, I loved the parallelism between Taylor and Arash.

I wonder what Taylor's next summon will be.

Maybe some Assassin named Kiritsugu Emiya? Probably not, but it would be fun to see Archer's reaction. It could also be Vlad in the form of him lancer or Extra

A assasin would be great to break the defense combo, by eliminating the emperors that keep it up

That and iirc it caused some damage to her ability to even feel pain.
 
Why is everyone assuming Taylor even knows that she's a Heroic Spirit? The only person that we know for a fact who does know is Olga. She didn't pass that on to Romani in her Interlude and I don't see it in her character to go "So yeah, I had the choice to let you bleed out in my office and then use your corpse to summon a better version of you but chose not to."

You can make the argument that its possible Taylor put it together on her own or that someone (most likely Da Vinci) figured it out based on the scant evidence provided and then clued her in, both offscreen, but so far we have nothing in the story itself that shows that Taylor is in any way aware that she made it to the Throne of Heroes.
 
I mean to be fair to Taylor, once she learned about heroic spirits she probably thought about if saving multiple earths by killing an alien (sorta-kinda-basically) god was enough to put her on the throne of heroes but then most likely dismissed those thoughts because 1) She hasn't died yet and 2) She probably had Thoughts™ about what she'd be like if she got summoned in a specific class and decisively cut off that line of thought.

Completely possible and I acknowledge that. However, it's also completely possible that she for whatever reason hasn't put 2 and 2 together out of some sort of mental hangup or not quite realizing that literally the only thing keeping people from being able to summon Heroic Spirit Khepri is the still living human Taylor Hebert.

My point is simply that James hasn't shown or told us that Taylor is aware of this fact, so for now we shouldn't assume that she does.

I mean Amy did say later that she's got some nerve damage and Taylor suddenly found herself with a much better tolerance for pain so I think it might be in the "not clearly confirmed, but not unsupported" category.

This is true. However, the 'damage' would have been healed by Amy, or Scapegoat at the VERY worst. Leaving baseline!Taylor as the one suffering from the Intestine Incident.

that's not really supported by much, it's possible but no real evidence for it

that nerve damage was in Taylors hand, she noticed her hand move easier and better after that got healed, her pain tolerance was inhumanly high, but not cause she actually felt less pain.

She had brain damage too, and Amy fixed neither.
The pain left in an instant. My breathing became easier, and I felt a steady pressure deep in my broken arm.

"You have a brain injury that's not fully healed."

"Bakuda's fault."

"Hm. Outside the scope of my abilities."

Ominous, but I wasn't ready to put too much stake in what she told me, and what she might be leaving out.

"Okay," my voice was stronger, without the crippling pressure in my chest and back.

"Microfracture in your shoulder, nerve damage to your left hand, reduced fine dexterity."

"Really? I hadn't noticed."

"It's there. I'm not going to bother with that, either."

"Wasn't expecting you to." Couldn't let her ruffle me.

The Director and Romani know. I'm not sure about anybody else. See here.

Hereafter [Worm x Fate/Grand Order] Crossover

Gold Morning was supposed to be the end. The capstone of a short, frenetic career. Taylor Hebert’s fight was supposed to be over. But the end of one story is often the beginning of another, and when she’s offered the chance to take part in a mission whose scale and scope feel so very familiar...

The only thing stopping people from being able to summon Heroic Spirit Khepri is that no one has the right catalyst.

I think that the Outer Gods could do it, but that would be a problem for Epic of Remnant Taylor.

And maybe Goetia could do it too, but he doesn't need her.

Thinking about it just for her age alone, the moment QA shows herself in a singularity she is gonna be quite powerful.

It would be so very Taylor for her to use her Eldritch Outer God abilities as avatar/priestess of QA to make a singularity based on her experiences in the canon Worm story... maybe in part 1.5 or 2.5, whichever is more plot-convenient... as a training simulator.

and because of her part in helping the Human Order, once she shuffles off this mortal coil, when she opens her eyes, it's Ritsuka and Rika once again welcoming her... then Rika has to ruin the moment by saying "so, you're finally awake."
