Necratoid Wrote:The real problem with Asuna here is that all it takes is one line from Vita to have Asuna decide to use the fan of touch attack, no save for you unsummoning. That alone makes her Doom's Day weapon towards half the cast of FateStay/Night. I mean seriously that fan hits them or most of their weapons and it will just unsummon them. Most energy attacks are reduced to stripper beams. Probable one shot the Grail with a melee atack as well... a summoning requiring a sacrifice is still a summon after all.I sort of see the WR as kind of like the native non-Megalomesembrian people- created by magic but not exactly all that Ensis Exorcizans vulnerable. Asuna's Magic Canceller and by extension her sword-- which seems to be just an extension of her own abilities-- seems to be a passive, self-protective field. It getting turned into an offensive erasure weapon-- the way the demon count and those scumbags in her dream sequence did-- seems to cause her immense pain. Her melee attacks with her Canceller seem to top off at Barrier Breaking. If it were as lethal as you imply she'd be erasing people in Mundus Magicus left and right just by touching them, and destroying everything she touched. She wouldn't be able to eat because food would disappear. So her Canceller isn't that severe... under normal conditions.
Considering I'm already expecting Saber to go after the Wolkenritter for slander... I mean they keep making evil Saber Golems. Even if you ignore the Magical Girl's Society angle of this... Someone in public is going to see her and think she is one of those eventually. I seriously doubt this 'new you' image campaign they are running is going to make a happy Saber.
Anyway, with the Vita vs Asuna fight my reasoning is that from what I know (without actually watching/reading the series, kind of an experiment to see just how the fanon fits the canon) Vita and Co are actually summoned agents from the BoD and are thus hard to get rid of as they can just be resummoned. To me this would involve Vita attempting to do the unstoppable force vs. immovable object game and discover its more OMG HAX powered hammer versus a Fan of Banning. Which will end up Vita learning how fast she can run away without that thing weighing her down... I'm also expecting the Gynoids to have stripper beams as standard features and her choice in undergarments to become public knowledge. Granted that would involve someone sending a blatant summon or Vita mouthing off in exactly the wrong way.... but with all the planning certain unborn people put into this I just can't imagine this not happening... unless its to save it for sneak attack, drama kill when Asuna unsummons the World Killer Kaiju at Arc's end.
As for the Versus suggestions:
-Sick ChaChaZero on a swarm of Servants... if for no other reason then to disturb whoever actually gets close enough to their 200 page target by the way they keep dodging severed Sevant limbs.
-I'm pretty sure those guns from the festival will work on the Servants. This is likely why the gynoids are there in the first place. Chao wants them to at least partially drain Evangeline. This will mean random awake students are likely to end up involved (free meal tickets and other prizes) and that those guns will work on the gynoids and that the devices also included scoreboard projectors. All in all weirding out the nonlocals even more. (Its like they all stopped noticing these attacks and invasions)
Hmm... unless they are truely cursed enough to attack Evangeline is unsealed (the power is out, I think there was only one day a month that trick would work, but its been a while and OneManga got squished, while my computer was down, so I can't check at the moment), its going to end up with her melee... which is going to be hard enough to deal without removing the option to bombard her from the air. Chao does seem to want this attack to succeed.
Though even if they manage it they are going to be draining Evangeline's core... which has a ginormous seal on it made by an over power idiot... which is too complex for anyone to figure out after 15 years... Why do I see the Wolkenritter managing half drain Evangeline getting chased off and then thinking they got away with this. Though 200 pages could be just what they get before the book fills and it might not even disable her... only to end up getting sucked right back an hour later when the power comes back on. Though this could happen just after Asuna pops the WKK. Looks like they lose and everything is being resolved and then the seal kicks in... Thus trapping them on Earth forever and ever (or till that seal it defeated),
On a random side note... at some point Asuna should end up Fan Banning Superman's 5th dimensional stalker. I remember this one cartoon that had Superman getting rid of him easily over and over again and having him banish a completely different way would do hilariously mean things to its ego.
My view is the WR and Servants in general are not so much summons as Constructs. Sure, Servants are summoned, but they are spirit based summons who merely construct a physical body to interact with the world and kick each other's ass. Given that, while Asuna can affect them with her sword, disrupting the magic of the construct, the actual damaged caused by the edge of her weapon would be a bigger threat.
Saber's a bit too busy thinking Shiro's an idiot at this point to care.
Chachazero sounds like a fun idea. I'll see what I can work in.
Those guns, unfortunately, are back where they came from. only Yuuna still has hers, because Akamatus showed her as having them during the 'take their badges' chapters. Evangeline's Seal, as far as I can make out, isn't any of Nagi's doing. All her really did was curse her never to leave Mahora. The spell was Infernus Scholaticus, used to keep delinquents from cutting class. One suspects he knows it because it kept getting used on him.
Superman's way is more fun.
Actually, the 'just a mortal' excuse doesn't fly with fighting Servants. Shiro and Archer are about the same basic level, Archer just has more combat experience and knows more weapons to Trace. And Shiro can effectively counter Gilgamesh, making him Servant-level by default.
He's still a bit of an idiot though.
Quote:They’d had to order Shiro to shut up and just eat his pancakes since he felt compelled to repeat every revelation that came out.Asuna can't just 'unsummon' the Automatic Defense Program because her sword just sends things back to where they came from. That would mean it just goes back inside poor Reinforce.
And yes, the unborn duo have a plan. It has absolutely nothing to do with the current arc, however. To say more would SPOILER it. That would be BAT.
