I liked listening to her summary of the Epic of Gilgamesh. But, like... I felt kinda called out when she pointed out Fate's Gilgamesh design. I guess no one ever explained to her that Fate's Gilgamesh had his original appearance patterned after the character of the same name from "Tower of Druaga."
Or that, you know, he might not look anything like the OG myth describes, but his lore more than makes up for it.
I was gong to make mention of this because...well, for one, it's fantastic, and really gets across just how vast and eerie the depths of history are, of how much we've lost and only have hints remaining of
but also because that last bit actually made me laugh
don't get me wrong, I'm absolutely in her camp. if there were two designs that would actually fit them historically speaking...yeah, those two would work
if you switched them
but for all that I also kind of get into how and why Fate developed...it kinda makes sense. Nasu wasn't making them historically accurate, and while it's convoluted as shit he did come up with why it makes sense in-universe why things are the way they are
I would very much prefer if Gilgamesh looked like Iskander and vice versa, because that would be more historically and mythologically accurate
...but Nasu wasn't going for historical accuracy. he had designs he wanted to go with, and that IS history, as far as the Nasuverse is concerned
I mean I'm pretty sure you're joking but just in case you aren't, Last Resort can't hurt him because it's not A-rank, and even if it could it could only take a single life.
yeah, probably not
that being said, i can see two instances where it might actually be possible
First, Noble Phantasms can have certain circumstances where they perform better. Brutus in the previous Singularity was a great example of this. Shakespeare might not have been able to fit all the stories into it he wanted...but if he was clever he might have managed to squeeze that in on circumstance and technicality because what squishy, mortal, human master is going to get in a knife-fight with a physical god? if the circumstance is that rare, it might have been able to fit into the limits of a C rank NP because the circumstances where it would get that boost are so infinitesimally rare as to be impossible
...unless you're Taylor
the other possibility is that Medea is right there. if there were anyone who could futz with it and give it an upgrade- permanent or temporary- it'd be her.
Either way even if it worked it would only take one life...but let's be real, that's not nothing
and let's be real here, it's Taylor. Even if everything I've said is wrong and Last Resort would do absolutely fuck-all against Herk...I can see her stabbing it into his neck anyway out of pure spite
