cascu is gonna turn out to be lugh or some shit isnt he

nah I think he’s genuinely cu chulainn. an impossible one but still the real deal, not unlike alter. but what IS suspicious here is how his second noble phantasm, ochd deug odin, calls upon odin’s power rather than an irish god’s, and also has some kind of use restrictions placed on it by odin. for as much as we’ve gone into gods of other pantheons fate has been notably silent on both norse and irish gods so far despite having a whole norse lostbelt, much to my frustration. my best hope remains for lb6 to just deliver everything I could possibly ask for.

VINCENT VALENTINE???

Girrrrrrrrl, it’s worse than that.

Here, have a seat and let me tell you about an anime that’s so dumb it’s genius: Final Fantasy Unlimited (FFU from here on out -- because).

There are four main characters:

Ai (the redheaded girl) and Yu (the boy) Hayakawa. They’re twins. They have basically no personality beyond gender (and hair color) and no powers beyond the magic items they get as the show goes on.

Ai (”Love”) is “fiery” but practical. Her item is PoshePocket, a living bag of devouring which sometimes gives her hammerspace items.

Yu (”Courage”) is more impulsive but quicker to trust. He gets a magical feather which lets him communicate with Chobi.

Chobi is the chocobo biting Ai’s hair (a running gag). His only power is being a “Ciel Chocobo” (having flight armor).

Tifa Lockhart Tifa by way of Aerith Lisa Pacifist, a special operative who is trained in the Kigen Arts (which she mainly uses to erect force fields). She acts like their babysitter, basically.

...and...

Vincent Valentine Kuroki Kaze (”Black Wind” and translated as such in the dub), who is usually just called Kaze (in both).

He’s an Unlimited. We’re not really sure what that is, but we do know that they are basically indestructible and have some other powers -- in his case, the magun (maybe -- other people can use it, but it doesn’t usually work out well for them). He’s amnesiac, barely speaks, exhibits almost no personality or emotions, and yet is the best main character.

Plot

After a pair of dragon kaiju attacked our world, the Hayakawa twins’ parents go missing, so the two go looking for them. Lisa runs into them as she’s trying to do her job and the three wind up on a train which takes them to a mysterious place called Wonderland. They go wandering around trying to figure out what the Hell is going on in this place (and find the missing Hayakawa parents) and run into danger. Kaze (whom they had encountered previously) appears in the nick of time, is mildly surprised when the prosthetic on his arm “moves,” and then goes through a transformation/summoning sequence (partially seen in the other post).

This formula happens almost once an episode. There aren’t very many episodes in which it doesn’t happen and they tend to be either very plot-heavy or boring. The show goes on like this for 25 episodes as the main characters with dialogue (from our world) become more and more embroiled in the machinations of the Earl Tyrant and his Four Lords of Gaudium, who have nefarious plans involving Chaos.

You can imagine why this show got cancelled as quickly as it did, but you’d be wrong! In fact, the show didn’t get canceled so much as defunded -- because of how badly Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within flopped in the box office. The show condenses its original two seasons (52 episodes) into one season and drops a lot of info. Much of that would later get released in various other formats.

Oh, and if you thought that Kaze and Lisa were the only Final Fantasy VII allusions, may I introduce you to Kaze’s rival and fellow Unlimited, Makenshi (~”Magic Swordsman”), aka Shiroi Kumo/White Cloud?

A taciturn, powerful swordsman with spiky hair, a bishounen countenance, and some access to magic (in his case, he breathes Mist, which he can use to summon Mist Dragons). He has another rival in the form of his brother, Madoushi (”Mage”), aka Akai Kiri (”Red Mist”), who is similar but red (hair and clothes), has long hair (an anime mullet), and is thoroughly evil (IIRC).

So Cloud Strife by way of Mytho from Princess Tutu.

(Technically, he’s also a protagonist. Further spoilers.)

Why do I mention the show ever?

Because as dumb looking as the conspicuous CGI summons are and as over the top as the summoning sequences may be, it’s a lot of fun to watch Kaze declare which colored bullets he’s going to use to summon stuff.

And by “stuff,” I include Phoenix (as shown), Titan (a robot...), and Meteor Master (which is a barely recognizable Tonberry before it screams; launches itself into the sky; and rains fiery, meteoritic ruination upon the land).
