Y'know monster biology is different from people biology? so you don't know how to qi block a monster just cause you know how to do it to a human.
Aren't you also assuming that qi is different for monsters than it is for humans? You literally have absolutely no clue what Qi specifically does and how it relates to beasts. Neither does anyone else. It's speculation - which was my inherent point.
 
Lemme put it this way.

I already considered "oh I'm so huge and ungainly and unwomanly" stupid whenever that side trait of Medusa's came up. Now that I've learned I'm not at eye-level with her chest I consider it ridiculous.
a) She's totes tall for japan.
b) Japan loves small and cute things.
This is not an uncommon sentiment with japanese women who happen to be tall.

That said, she's bullied by Stheno and Euryale. Have you seen how tiny those two are? Anybody'd get a complex about their height if they were bullied by those two.

Well I mean without wank Li would probably be Okita/Kojiro tier

Insanely good at one thing and outside of it well. Get rekt by everyone else

But since Nasu masturbates to his Li Shuwen bodypillow when the Karna and Gilgamesh ones are washing we saw the result
... I did not need that Mental image.

It obviously has some root in biology, because it takes strikes at specific locations.

? Where did you get this from? Nowhere have I seen a requirement for Li to strike at specific places like some mobile acupuncture service to perform no second strike lol. He literally engulfs the opponent's qi through touch, so it doesn't matter where he touches. Hence why it says even a feint or grazing blow can be lethal.
 
As I recall, targetting a persons Qi only requires that you be able to hit where the soul resides. its more akin to wounding the spirit then the person, physical damage would be incidental.

Are you sure? I thought Qi attacks were almost purely physical phenomenon. Atleast in Li's case, it seems like it. Since Li basically ejects a Qi aura around him that lowers the senses and biological defenses related to the nervous system of all living beings inside it. So anyone around him becomes induced into perma panic and sense numbing, and in this state Li can just bop someone and the vagus nerve reflex reaction stops the heart because the small attack becomes such a big perceived shock to the body that the body just dies.

edit: nvm somehow forgot that it also disrupts magic circuits, so it's not limited to physical disruption.

Qi itself is a spiritual phenomena, dude. Its why in movies you get people dying from glares and fighting spirit.

The problem becomes that Qi/Ki/Chi/whatever changes between cultures despite sharing roots.

She's literally my height. It's only by Japanese standards that she could be considered a tall woman.

Also her sisters are literal actual midgets so there's that.

Well, Medusa is summoned by a japanese girl and surrounded by Japanese people, and she was endlessly tormented by said midgets, so honestly I understand why she thinks she's too tall to be pretty, even if I disagree?

Fucks sake she's my height, and I'm above average for an asian male, to say nothing of the females. Cultural barriers are a thing, people.
 
Mildly disappointed that you can't just ditch Nero during Rome.
Not having to put up with her would be nice.
 
Wait, Wait! I have a gif for this.
...This gif perfectly encapsulates my feeling when I realized I'm going to have to deal with her for the entire story arc. Good job.

On a happier note, Kiyo's pretty decent, all things considered. Fun to watch her an the Herc support juggle buster chains and oneshot anything that's not a plot boss

You make me sad.

Please stop making the Saber cry with your shit taste.
 
Wait, given how short servants are (which might actually be historically accurate) how tall is archer then, like 5' 11'?
187 cm, or about 6'2
Yes shirou has a rather large growth spurt since shirou is only 167 cm, or 5'6
Yeah shirou grows 20 cm or about 8 inches before becoming archer. So shirou has a pretty big growth spurt after high school
Still not the weirdest growth spurt.
kirei is 185 cm(6'1) in fate zero, but 193 cm(6'4) in fate stay night and he should have already been fully grown considering he would have been like 26 or 27 at the time of fate zero.
Some other heights
Saber-154 cm(5'1)
Herc-253 cm(8'3)
Kojiro-176cm(5'9)
Cu-185 cm(6'1)
Gil-182 cm(6'0)
True assassin-215 cm(7'1)

I think it's Hassan being seven feet tall that I find the least believable out of all of those.
 
Makes sense, this is Heaven's Feel Hassan, who at just a glance, looks much bigger (in both height and bulk) in comparison to the littler Hassans that were in Fate/Zero.
As well, you have to consider his resting posture. He stands with his knees bent, chest forward, and with his head down around his shoulders. That hides plenty of height.


This is the original Servant noted for having done some fucked up shit to himself. I think I'd honestly be surprised if he was normal sized.

Now we go back to speculation. How do we know movie qi is nasu qi? Sure we can assume they may be thematically similar, but that's still an assumption.
