To be fair that's pretty consistent. The only reason Earth Bet and Co still stand is because Taylor was friends with Undersiders. If not for them she would have either decided to not do anything in the end or agreed with QA to conquer the multiverse.
Highly doubtful. QA is like a thousand times older than the crab and a couple billion times larger. She is also experienced in wrangling billions of her siblings. It's almost certainly a bandwidth issue.
God, imagine if Chaldea somehow managed to summon Lung.
Amy: "Why would I ever do something that stupid for you ever ag-"
Shut up I'm not crying! Your crying!
Not that you're wrong, but you guys are forgetting a key detail. This isn't QA. It's Servant QA. It's easy to forget, due to how much an upgrade a Servant is compared to us squishy humans, but Servants of non-humans and Age of God Heroes are typically weaker compared to when they were alive. There are countless examples, but the easiest is Servant Fairy Queen Morgan who herself states in her final Ascension:
QA is probably handicapped severely due to being in a normal Servant Container. In terms of Hardware, it'd be like moving from a Supercomputer to a CAD laptop. It can probably do everything Taylor can normally do, but is severely limited outside of the skillset Skitter/Weaver had.
All the way back in Fuyuki. Taylor tries to summon something and the summon apparently 'fails.' Only to discover later that her powers came back inexplicably. Plus in the Halloween sidestory, her powers are affected in the same way that Servants are due to the villain of that arc trying to prevent Servant interference.
That's fair, but the same is true in reverse. Taylor didn't have her powers for the 2 years she was in Chaldea prior to the beginning of the story. And the failed Servant summoning in Fuyuki does need an explanation. Fuyuki was completely incinerated so there being no insects there is plausible and Chaldea is in the Artic. So them discovering it during Orleans was also logical.
I was wincing every time they were cracking its shell >.>
But Taylor isnt doing that though? The Parahumans use the powers, but the Shard does the thing. Taylor's own Mystery is irrelevant because its not her doing the Mastering, its the alien god computer. I'd get it if it was a Servant Taylor with a Personal Skill or NP failing, but when QA is the one doing it, some random crab being able to shrug off QA's influence just seems cheap?
My take on it is that QA was largely working as intended, but when it hooked Taylor up to the Patriarch Crab he was such a greater existance that he overwhelmed her own personal sense of self.
It's canon to the story, that Taylor ALREADY on Throne of Heroes. It just Servant Taylor would not be on this story as character.
It was a hermit crab so does that meme really work when it doesn't actually have that weakpoint?
taylor, tay tay, please, stahp, you're breaking marie's heart
if i recall, it's actually his magic focus, like, some magi use wands, others use staffs, waver uses a cigar. in all honestly, i see no reason why he shouldn't be able to use it in chaldea, anyone can just magic away the smoke, assuming it's actual smoke and not just the visual byproduct of him doing magic with it
makiri's soul is still in his body at this point tho isn't it? if he had spread his soul throughout his swarm then i could maybe buy it, but as is, crest worms are litteraly the weakest phantasmals you can get, weaker than the hermit crabs by far, taylor should have no issue taking control, issue is mostly just maintaining it, as she has been shown to have issues fighting over control, if zolgen gives them a new command, they'll follow that command until she tells them to stop, meaning it just becomes a tug of war, one that taylor has historically done badly in, granted that's cause usually the tug of war is her trying to complicated strategy and the other side is just spamming 'attack' repeatedly, so their commands get through more often than hers. also like, the demon pillar isn't connected directly to the bugs is it? just to zolgen, that's at least some degree of seperation
Amy was just introducing junk feedback through modified bugs until Taylor couldn't function through all the proverbial junk noise in her head.
