If that's how you want to describe how how she's learning that friendship and jolly cooperation don't fix anything and just leave her feeling frustrated and impotent, I'm not going to stop you but I'm definitely giving you side eye, and wondering what the fuck you're reading and what drugs you are taking.
Hell, she is very firmly placing her friendship with Marie above that of her friendship with the Twins, so I fully expect one of them to do something stupid in the future because they think Taylor won't help or something.
Currently the power of friendship doesn't exist between her and the Twins, just her and Marie
I personally believe that Taylor would not fail any of the physical trials of Part 1 in a solo run. Her experience as a cape will see her through.
I'd put her fail point in Camelot. Not because of any one trial, but because that's where Atlas revealed Romani had a secret. There's no way a Post GM, solo Taylor would trust Romani after Holmes' reveal. She would force the truth out. Inadvertently revealing the final ring of Solomon Romani was hiding and killing the only win condition Chaldea had.
Her beating Babylon wouldn't matter because Goetia would be prepared and kill Romani the instant he could. Making the Temple of Solomon completely unwinable.
That's a good point. Taylor's paranoia and distrust to all authority means she'll prod until the secret is revealed and Goetia kills them all the moment he learns Solomon is there, both out of spite and to get rid of the one person he acknowledges could have beat him (alive Solomon that is, apparently a genuine Grand Caster Solomon being summoned is useless due to Nega Summon or something)
Also, Taylor's shard cheated, Queen Administrator bullied other shards so that Taylor would survive situations that should have killed her, not as much as Broadcast, but it did.
For example there's a wog the reason Coil tried to kill Taylor via teleporting her into a burning building surrounded by mercs is that QA went to bat for her for being a good host so any attempt to teleport her into an instantly fatal location failed
The rules about interacting with the Prince were strictly defined. I could hold him, but I couldn't hurt him. Which category did silk fall under? I had some on my person. Twenty feet in all. Twenty feet disappeared fast when it was wound around something.
I chose his neck. Not hurting him, not directly. His power allowed it
- Everything Taylor just said in regards to August Prince's power? Makes no sense and is total plot armor and QA bullying August Prince's shard.

Because there are two completely different things happening to Taylor and Rika, and because she might become resentful of the Chaldea Organization in the future just as you said?
Taylor stewing in her seeming impotence and Rika breaking apart further and further without her twin, that's two character arcs that don't really coincide. I admit I'd love to read things happening in Rika's perspective, but I'm apparently on drugs or something, because it would easily double the length of this agonizingly slow pacing only to describe nothing much happening from a different angle.
Whether Taylor's faith in this instance is misplaced ultimately depends on how the situation is resolved, so personally, I'm gonna avoid discussing whether the lessons this situation would have her learn are complete nonsense or actually valid.
Because there are two completely different things happening to Taylor and Rika, and because she might become resentful of the Chaldea Organization in the future just as you said?
What, you mean Taylor leaving Rika's brother to die? Yeah, that seems to be a pretty good reason to be resentful, don't you think?
It's not like Taylor's doing much to help right now either, and none of it where Rika can see, for all she knows Emiya and El Melloi II showed up on their own.
Why shouldn't Rika have trust issues with Taylor and Marie in the future?
Even if things turn out well, they are leaving Ritsuka to live or die on his own merits, not doing anything to intervene.

Down with the Director! The era of Olga Marie is over, the age of Gudako is now!
Look, I've already said everything I wanted to. For all they know, Taylor entering the prison would completely destroy her psychologically or at least significantly worsen the situation for Jalter and Ritsuka. You've read the same updates I did and the reasoning for characters doing what they do, and chose to interpret them as the deepest betrayal possible, which is a good meta example that demonstrates how Rika can feel very upset about what's been done, i.e. nothing, in your and possibly her opinion. I disagree. That's all I have to say.
To weigh in myself, I have no issues with the lack of action in these chapters. I'm all for getting across that emotional effect! Similarly, I'm fine with Taylor not pushing to go in. As notorious as she is for her willingness to risk herself for the sake of others, and as intense as her refusal to be a bystander may be, she can do the math here: There is no good reason to believe that entering the curse herself would do anything but make things worse. Right now, the best she can do for the situation is to let the experts do their analysis, keep the rest of the group sane, contribute what ideas she can, and prepare herself for the moment when action becomes an option.
It's much the same thing she did during the wait for the S9000.
That said, and building off the last of those elements, I absolutely agree that she should be doing more training and advancement than we're seeing with the time she has. This applies more to times outside this event, since right now she's apparently stuck in an office keeping Marie stable, but it's still relevant. Physical training, magical learning, equipment creation, just chatting with El Melloi II and/or Shakespeare about what she might find and be able to do if she does go inside the curse, whatever. I don't care if this is a universe where Servants make human physical feats basically irrelevant, it at least lets Taylor feel like she's doing something, and it's not like she's going to get more chances to contribute by not improving her abilities.
Played the most recent Guda Guda on NA ("Ryouma's Narrow Escape") and while I didn't like all of it... Ryouma and Oryou's backstory was great. Like. I know they were basically the B plot of the event story, but I genuinely enjoyed it more than I did the main story. I guess I'm just a sucker for that sort of thing.
I kinda want to bring them into Hereafter...but there's too much buildup for it to work, and I'm sad.

Wait that was the B plot ? Really? Because I thought the "giant robots in totally not FFVII" was just an excuse to make Ryoma and Oryou get together again so you spent money on their gacha!
And I mean it, it had more time in the history, but it was even more stupid than the normal GUDAGUDA, and that's saying something...

GudaGuda plots do tend to suck pretty hard, yeah, but despite that, the characters we get out of them tend to also be fairly compelling. Almost like they'd fit as regular characters in Fate if you just pulled them out of the GudaGuda nonsense.
Although apparently Ryouma and Oryou are completely different outside of GudaGuda worldlines. And so is Himiko. For some reason. All of these connected-but-not-really multiverses are starting to make my head hurt trying to keep them straight.
The thing with GudaGuda is that it kinda lets otherwise-unsummonable characters to be summoned. Okita Alter, Nobukatsu, Komahime, etc. All of these characters would straight up not exist in mainline Fate, either through incompatible lore reasons, having no significant legend to their name, or even both. And that's not even getting to the mess that is Ranmaru.
Mysterious Ranmaru X does remind us though that GudaGuda is hardly the only situation where this happens, considering she's essentially one massive Saber Wars/GudaGuda crossover. Other events like Saber Wars, Halloween, and Christmas rely more on suspension of disbelief and plain Rule of Cool/Fun to let certain Servants become summonable.
(It does raise a problem when fun-based events suddenly involve a lot more important lore. Summer Events are especially bad at this considering both ServantFes events so far have had some rather interesting involvements with BB and the LB6 cast respectively...)
It does frustrate me a little. I'm not sure what part of his worldbuilding Oryou's backstory conflicts with, which is why he says she can only be a dragon in GudaGuda worlds, but is a normal human in regular Fate timelines. Not when this guy also has the Greek gods be spaceships from across the universe made of nanomachines. Spaceships that were worshipped as gods by the ancient Greeks, that then got whacked by another alien that eats civilization. And that alien was defeated by Excalibur, which was made by six fairies sacrificing themselves to forge it, but it left a terminal behind that slept for 13000 years, slowly forgot its original purpose, was adopted into the Huns and became their leader, and then went on destroying stuff because that was all it knew how to do. And was a woman who dressed so scantily that I wouldn't feel comfortable showing her to any non-Fate fan.
And the Mesoamerican gods were bacteria that infected local tribal leaders. Bacteria that came also came from outer space on the asteroid that killed the dinosaurs.
Oryou being a dragon is actually the most ordinary backstory she could have by comparison, is what I'm trying to say, and I'm not entirely sure what part of regular Fate canon it conflicts with.
The only part of what I just wrote that is GudaGuda only is Oryou being a dragon that Ryouma freed from a mountaintop by pulling out the Ama-no-Sakahoko. The rest is completely canon lore from mainline Fate.

Yeah? I meant: you're all talking about how insane and inane GudaGuda plots are with just a couple serious plot points and compelling characters, and I'm saying that maybe it's a feature, not a bug, so that people interested in lore would still be invested in these events.

Mostly because of the scale Oryou really is. She is called a Dragon, but the lore established for is way above that. Hm, think of it this way - in Fate, Fafnir is called one of the strongest Dragons and he has a fairly established powerset of fire, fire, and more fire with a side of draconic strength. Oryou on the other hand, not only had been so strong that she needed one of the divine treasures of Japan to seal her, she could also turn human and become so strong that she would dwarf all other Dragons if she hadn't been so heartbroken over Ryouma's death. Frankly, she is too strong to be a Dragon. Maybe if she was a bunrei or an Elemental, she could be justified, but not only is she supposed to be a Dragon, she also isn't a Dragon from any preestablished legend.
She's not incompatible because she is "secretly a Dragon" as much as it is because "secretly is a Dragon", I suppose. She is just too strong to fit with the preestablished lore on what it is to be a Dragon, and though that hasn't stopped Fate from retconning preexisting lore for other things, given that she is from what is ultimately a minor spinoff before FGO made it a recurring event, I suppose Type-Moon just didn't see any point on making her canon so to speak.
Also, the whole thing about aliens in Fate honestly makes it the new "Divine" or, before that, "ancient" spice these days for characters. In the earlier releases of Fate, being from ancient myth used to be special. That's why Cu, Medea, Heracles, and Gilgamesh were deemed to be top-tier Servants in FSN. Heracles and Gilgamesh doubled down too on also being a demigod at that, the "only" way a Servant could approach Divinity.
Then came later releases and both ancient and divine became paltry and common. We don't really see them as anything special anymore, but Type Moon has to keep escalating things and so that's where "space" comes in. It was already pre-established before with Angel Notes that anything that comes from Space has to be special, and then stuff like Foreigners and such made them even more so. Maybe in the future when all the scifi stuff gets common too we'll see Type Moon start establishing more and more outrageous lore...
Frankly, she is too strong to be a Dragon. Maybe if she was a bunrei or an Elemental, she could be justified, but not only is she supposed to be a Dragon, she also isn't a Dragon from any preestablished legend.
Not a fgo player but are you sure about that as the Ōryū is an existing Japanese legend. Aside from various other things using the name for something from what I've found it's described as the equivalent to the yellow dragon from the 4 symbols which is the Genbu, Suzaku, Seiryu, Byakko set which is used in a ton of things like og beyblades with the yellow dragon in the Chinese version guarding the centre. Given how close the name is if she isn't actually meant to be that it seems it would be easy enough to make a summonable version of her that is connected to it somehow.
Servant QA would be indeed quite special. As in a QA that believes she is Taylor and because without her many Worlds wouldn't have been saved she qualifies as a Servant.
Like while the Author said Taylor won't be a Servant, QA could take the place of Servant Taylor.

Given how close the name is if she isn't actually meant to be that it seems it would be easy enough to make a summonable version of her that is connected to it somehow.
She isn't actually based on any of that though. Oryou as GudaGuda establishes her has no historical legend as a basis. Oryou as Ryouma's wife did have historical basis and was famous for saving his life one time from an assassination attempt, but there's no mention of a Japanese black dragon that was sealed into a mountain by a divine spear from any legends I remember. The Yellow Dragon you mention is a completely diffferent mythological dragon - instead that's part of the Five Colored Dragons of the Dragon King, which is Chinese in origin as you've mentioned. True, the Japanese adapted the Dragon King into their legends as well, but ironically the Yellow Dragon is absent from the Japanese version of the Dragon King if I recall correctly.
But then again, that hadn't been my main point in the first place. Oryou being a Fate original is nothing strange - Fate loves to make up characters, playing fast and loose with legends all the time and they're not even debated to be part of the main canon. Certainly, for example, the fairy Habetrot in FGO is very different from the original tales and don't even get me started with the rampant genderbending everywhere else. But the fact that Oryou is supposed to be a Dragon when everything she does points to something else is probably why Nasu stated her to be not compliant with Fate's worldbuilding. Plus, again, character from minor spinoff before FGO made GudaGuda a regular event.
Mostly because of the scale Oryou really is. She is called a Dragon, but the lore established for is way above that. Hm, think of it this way - in Fate, Fafnir is called one of the strongest Dragons and he has a fairly established powerset of fire, fire, and more fire with a side of draconic strength.

TBF, so that's also Fatalis (from Monster Hunter's) draconic powerset. Fafnir might be basic 'fire and strength', but Fafnir's fire is enough to nuke a large town/small city in one casual snort and a single serious breath was going to blow away the geographical region of Orleans. Sometimes brute force 'fire'power is all you need to be real strong.
Also Fafnir seems to have the unique property of being a phenomenon that reincarnates, I'm decently sure even Albion doesn't do that, but then again Albion isn't actually fully dead yet...
Ritsuka would have loved to have said that getting both Avengers to cooperate and work together was a simple and easy thing to do, but…
"You want to say that to my face, you bastard?"
"I just did! But if your hearing is so impaired, then I suppose I can say it once more! You, you abnormality, should not be here! Your very presence in this place is a mistake!"
"I'll show you mistake, you…!"
…he would have been lying his butt off. Neither Avenger nor Jeanne Alter could stand each other at all, and they seemed ready to tear one another's face off at the slightest provocation. He might have thought that two Avengers would actually be able to get along fairly well, considering their similarities, but that was probably about as reductive as expecting two Sabers to get along well just because they were both Sabers.
That…might have been a bad example, too, since he wasn't sure he'd ever seen two Sabers in the same place before, let alone interacting meaningfully. Riders… Yeah. After all, Hippolyta and Aífe both got along pretty well, didn't they? They hadn't thrown a single unkind word at each other yet.
Maybe because they both understood: both of their legends had been cut short by an adventuring hero. Hippolyta had been killed by Herakles and Aífe had been defeated by Cúchulainn, and as a result, both of their legends had come to an end prematurely. That understanding probably made it really easy for them to get along.
If only the same could have been said for these two Avengers.
"Hey."
They stopped arguing for a moment, turning to him. Jeanne Alter still looked furious, but Avenger only looked somewhere between disgusted and annoyed. Like he couldn't stand the sight of her, but didn't hate her enough to actually try killing her.
"At least for now, you're both my Servants, aren't you? So we're all on the same side here, aren't we?"
"Tch." Jeanne Alter scoffed. "I don't know why you think we need him. I can barbeque anything that comes after us in this place, so he's just taking up wasted space."
Avenger grinned nastily. "You think so, do you? Be my guest, then! Go on! Lead Master through this hellscape and show him the way forward! Guide him through this Prison Tower, if you are so certain you need no help from me!"
Ritsuka opened his mouth, intending to stop the fight before it really started.
"— seems like the best option we have available. If things start to deteriorate, we can reconsider our other options, but without a better idea of what exactly is going on inside of that curse, we shouldn't rush to send in anyone else and risk losing either them or our only chance to mount a rescue operation. Right, Director?"
And for a moment, he saw Chaldea. Mash, Rika, the Director, Doctor Roman, Miss Da Vinci, Senpai, all gathered around him. His body refused to move. Even his eyes stared straight ahead, no matter how hard he tried to look somewhere, anywhere by his room's ceiling.
"That's right," Director Marie said. "If we rush into things, then we might just make them worse. We need to know more about what we're getting into before doing anything else."
"But Onii-chan…!" came Rika's voice.
"Right now, Rika, it's the best of a lot of bad options," Doctor Roman told her. "If things take a turn for the worse, we'll throw caution to the wind and do whatever it takes —"
Static scratched across the surface of his brain. Chaldea faded away, like someone was erasing the image of it from his eyes one stroke at a time.
"…back with us, Master?"
Ritsuka gasped, and the prison slid back into focus, and he realized, suddenly, that he was doubled over, panting and barely upright.
"I was…" he managed to get out. "I was just in Chaldea."
"Too bad you couldn't stay there," said Jeanne Alter, "so I didn't have to drag your carcass through this place."
"Have you forgotten so easily?" asked Avenger, a hint of mocking in his voice. "I've already told you, haven't I? Your body remains behind in Chaldea, and what is trapped here in this place is your soul. You may indeed catch glimpses of reality throughout, but the only way to truly leave this place is to defeat the Lords in their Halls of Judgment and overcome the challenges that await you."
"With only you to help him?" Jeanne Alter drawled. "He might as well give up right now."
Even if that had been the case, Ritsuka still wouldn't have just laid down and waited to die, but now…
"I have you here, too, though, don't I?" he asked her. "In that case, there's no way I can just give up. We're both getting out of here."
We have to, he didn't say. There was no one else who could save him now. Even if… No, especially if the others found some way to join him… No, as tempting as it was, he couldn't get anyone else caught up in this mess. No one else needed to have to go through this as long as he could make it out on his own, with help from Avenger and Jeanne Alter.
He couldn't rely on Senpai forever, and he refused to let Rika go through this, too. He just… Just, for the first time, he had to stand on his own two feet.
Avenger laughed. "Good resolve, Master! Indeed, but I can't help wondering how long it will last in the face of the challenges to come! Now, enough dawdling! Let us return to your cell so that we might make our way to the next Hall of Judgment!"
And so, they did, the three of them making their way back to the decrepit room that served as his cell, a familiar place, when he actually looked at it, because everything might have been different, made of sturdy wood, iron, and stone instead of the sleeker, almost futuristic design he was used to, but the layout was essentially the same as his room in Chaldea.
"Feel free to lie down on that bed and wait," Avenger mocked, "long for a miracle, if you like. Of course, that's the simplest solution, but there's only a single result that can come of it."
"I die," said Ritsuka, "right?"
Avenger huffed. "Hmph! So you were paying attention after all, were you? Then maybe there is some glimmer of hope for you."
"And what happens to me, in that case?" Jeanne Alter asked. "What, does he take me with him?"
Avenger sneered at her. "I have no obligation to help you escape, you wretch. You can wander off and spend eternity lost in these halls, and it will make no difference to me."
Jeanne Alter grinned back at him. "Then I guess I'm sticking right here, asshole. If you want to be rid of me, grow a pair and do it yourself."
"I'm fine for now," Ritsuka announced. "If I need to rest, then we can just come back here for a little while, can't we?"
"Indeed. Ha!" Avenger grinned, too. "But take care, my Master! There is a fine line between resting to regain your strength and allowing yourself to fall to indolence! Should you cross that line into helpless apathy, then I myself will leave you here to rot!"
"Like fuck you will," Jeanne Alter snapped. "This guy may be just shy of completely useless, but if he's my ticket out of here, then I'm not letting you leave him behind just because you can't hold your fucking breeches!"
"Then let's go," said Ritsuka, pushing through the starting of another argument. "We might as well go after the next Lord. The sooner they're all taken care of, the sooner I can get out of here."
And back to Chaldea. If he really was back there earlier for however short a time that was, then enough time had passed there for everyone to notice something was wrong. He couldn't afford to take his time escaping this hellhole.
Avenger glowered at Jeanne Alter briefly, but only briefly. "Indeed. Follow me, then, Master, and don't tarry. Bring your rabid mutt, if you must. I suppose it might have some use distracting the enemy with its yapping."
"Woof-woof," Jeanne Alter drawled.
The instant Avenger's back was turned, she made a rude gesture at his back with her finger, and it took all of Ritsuka's self-control not to react. The less they fought each other, the easier it would be to get them to fight the enemy together.
Nonetheless, despite how much they seemed to dislike each other, Jeanne Alter fell into step with him when he followed Avenger, and the clink of her armor echoed off the walls as they walked. Everything looked the same as it had to the first Hall of Judgment, and yet, despite that, there was something different about the path they were taking, too, and Ritsuka couldn't quite put his finger on what it was.
Time was still just as wonky, though. When all the walls and all the torches looked exactly the same and there was no sun or moon to mark the passage of time, it became hard to tell how much time had actually passed. An hour? Two? Five minutes? Ritsuka wouldn't have been surprised, no matter what the answer wound up being.
"Damn," Jeanne Alter complained. "How far do we have to walk, anyway? Is this place really that big?"
"This prison is not bound by the normal rules of time and space," Avenger said dispassionately. "Distance is all an illusion. It takes exactly as long as it must to reach the next Hall of Judgment. No more and no less."
"No shit? Ugh." Jeanne Alter groaned. "This is such a pain in the ass!"
"If it bothers you so much, then feel free to wander off and die."
"I already told you," she sneered, "if you want to get rid of me, grow some balls and do it yourself!"
"H-Hello?" a new voice called out, trembling. "I-is someone there?"
Ritsuka stopped. A moment later, so did Avenger and Jeanne Alter, turning to look at him.
"P-please," the voice continued, "I don't know where I am or…or how I got here…"
Before he could even think about it, Ritsuka's feet started moving, carrying him in the direction of the new voice.
"What's that?" asked Avenger. "Are you distracted from your goal so easily? Hmph! Does your sense of justice overrule your sense of purpose so readily that you would drop everything to help someone even in a place like this?"
Maybe it was a bad idea, but…
"I can't just turn away from her."
There were so many outstretched hands that he hadn't been able to grasp. In Septem, when that fake Rome was destroyed in an instant, and in Orléans, when they'd had to run away from La Charité. Lyon and Orléans itself were already gone before they could do anything about it aside from avenging them.
The only saving grace of Okeanos had been that there weren't any innocent civilians in the line of fire. The whole place had been essentially empty, save for the Servants there for the Grail.
That was why… Here and now, Ritsuka couldn't leave someone behind to suffer if there was anything he could do about it.
"I guess you just don't know him very well, do you?" drawled Jeanne Alter. "The whole lot of them are a bunch of goody two-shoes. Ugh, it's disgusting, you know?"
But despite her words, she was still following him.
Avenger just laughed. "Very well! If you insist on endangering yourself, I suppose I can't stop you. Help that pitiful voice, if you feel you must. My only warning for you is to stay on your guard, even on this mission of mercy."
Avenger's mouth pulled into a broad grin.
"Or you'll die."
You guys really wanted this, so here you go. I'm going to space them between chapters so that nothing in the main story is really spoiled, and they should all wind up about this length.
I'm not going to cover every single part of the Prison Tower event. This is sort of like a...highlight reel, if you will.
Albion is much stronger, yes, but Albion itself is an exception to all Dragons. Not only is it much older, it's also one of the older legends involving Dragons - an existence tied to Arturia and the British Isles itself, in fact. So using it as a point of comparison for other dragons makes little sense - I believe in LB6, Da Vinci compares the difference between Albion and all other Dragons to be similar to normal Servants and Grand-Class Servants.
