What did the eggplant mushroom man mean by this? I thought he said that Japan wasn't supposed to be any more special than, say, Madagascar was.

It's not even a huge beam but super heat.
The beam is just a visual secondary effect.
But hey, Urobutcher decides it's the 'crystalized hope and dream of mankind' and whenever you look at it you would feel awe and remember the good time and shit so it's one now.

Proto Excalibur was specifically stated to have most of its power sealed with the help of the Round Table vows. With its max power being too powerful to use.
Early FGO confirmed that Artoria's Excalibur also have its own seals in her interlude.

No, it's definitely some sort of white magic holy energy thing, it's referred to as a holy sword multiple times.

Saber being some sort of ultimate powerhouse is so fucking retarded when she's based off of a pathetic legend with average combat strength confined to a single island who couldn't even run a family, let alone a country.

Authors tend to set their stories in places they are familiar with. For example, it's why 80% of all movies are set in New York and the remaining 20% in California.
>>
>>737099343
it was until FGO, now it's some convoluted bullshit
like how Saber still being female despite almost everyone being convinced she's a man worked with the whole still being technically alive, now you can have niggas that absolutely everyone knew for a fact were men be summoned as female

People only ship them because they are desperate to see or at least imagine Aoko getting reamed by someone with a Y-chromosome. He just happens to be more or less the most convenient in-universe choice to that end.
Think of all the artists that made cash off of Aoko not getting canonically fucked by anyone in Mahoyo. Think of all the commissions!

it's exactly because its "bumfuck nowhere" hat it can cultivate all those crazy events. "Mystery" is the core of magical power in Nasu's stories, so magically important places like England or Germany shoot themselves in the foot by having mage associations that's very existence nerfs the "mystery" of those areas.

Purisu andasutando, ufotable needs time to animate the deluxe H-scenes in the movie.

I'm not really an expert in the TM fanfiction scene but I bet you can easily find a dozen Mahoyo fanfics that have better sex scenes than anything Nasu would ever be capable of putting out.

Good idea. I'll start my mahoyo this weekend. Hopefully I can get it working on winlator without spending 10 hours troubleshooting.

True, it's like when J. K. Rowling tweets stuff like "Wizards teleport their shit instead of pooping their pants". They just don't think very much about the shit they say and just spew a lot of nosense lipservice.

It's just a case of an author setting his stories in an environment he understands. He's a Japanese guy that only has surface level knowledge of Europe and America so he he's sticking to the setting he understands.

>90 percent of the important events
Happen elsewhere.
>most busted abilities and items
Mostly come from europe, with a handful from eurasia or mainland asia.
>most overpowered characters
Basically all come from elsewhere.
Japan being bumfuck in the mage world is like the only actual consistent element of typemoon shit.

The F/SN grail war is very explicitly bumfuck nowhere hicks beating each other up for a bumfuck nowhere ritual that the clock tower doesn't actually give much of a fuck about and all the strongest servants even there weren't japanese.

Nta but how does that work? From what I understand, the difference between "magic" and "magecraft" is that magic does impossible things, basically miracles while "magecraft" does things that are possible to do through normal means but in a supernatural way.

>>737110843
Compared to true magic or the shit higher tier shit in type moon can get up to? Yeah. Compared to a lot magic in other settings? No, it's still pretty strong. It's only weak in the context of the setting.
>>737110875
Basically yeah. True magic warps the laws of reality while magecraft is basically just supernatural science. Granted magecraft can do a lot of shit contemporary science can't, but it still has to abide by it's own rules.

Have you not seen pewdipie? Or any of the thousands American and European Influencer that moved there. Anyone worth it or with money will move to japan.
It makes sense that the most powerful individuals will gather there.

They don't. It just seems like that to you because the games all revolve around Japan. Somewhere off camera ten times bigger things are happening, that you never get to witness.

Not really? The stories are in Japan bc that's where Nasu lives but all the most powerful magi, Servants and Dead Apostles are not Japanese.

Japan is only of interest to the rest of the magic world because a bunch of families following European magecraft traditions figured out how to tap into a leyline to try and unlock Magic and after 4 failed attempts it becomes considered so shit that everyone then loses interest.
