These are the goddesses that Sakura Five have inside them right? (Exclude Kazuradrop since her two goddesses are still unknown aside from Muryan)
Artemis
Leviathan
Sarasvati/Benzaiten
Parvati + Durga
Brynhild
Medusa
Melusine
Apsara
Titania
Airavata
Tiamat
On pure technicality we can argue every mother earth goddess but like I don't care enough about that damn theory to bother. So- let's take it piece by piece.
Melt is made up of Artemis, Leviathan, and Sarasvati. Benzaiten is more an offshot of Saravati and Durga (to my understanding). You may also notice that Leviathan isn't...really a 'goddess'. Since Leviathan is...weird. There's the whole connection to Lotan, and the similarities to Tiamat and Marduk, and the general "great hero defeats the [dragon] that is a manifestation of disaster" to consider as well. For some reason the Type Moon wiki claims "[Leviathan] is considered female by all" (even though I'm pretty sure before the Book of Enoch Leviathan was referred to as male but whatever I guess) despite you know, the Leviathan (Penguin with the bow tie) we see in Summer Melt is referred to as male...But whatever we know the Type Moon wiki is a disaster.
Passionlip is made up of Parvati, Durga, and Brynhildr. Now, you may have noticed two of these are sorta an overlap. I mean that in that Durga is considered (to my understanding) to be a form of Parvati. Now, we know this doesn't really stop anything since even in Fate they can manifest separately. It is interesting to note however, because she is the only one to have this overlap. Now onto the next bit, is Brynhildr a goddess? I...guess? I honestly am not sure. TM considers the Valkyrie as Divine Spirits so for this I'll count her as one?
KP is ...fucking weird. So we have Tiamat, Titania (Titan) who is....all the daughters of the titans? That's where Shakespeare got it so?? And then there's Airavata who is not a goddess?? That is a whole ass male elephant??? (or i guess a serpent if its the Mahabhrata reading). But that's where her whole NP comes from so I guess the elephant is trans now???
Violet has Medusa, Apsara (singular?? for some reason?? or just all of them???), and Melusine. So; we all have Medusa, in Fate she is a confirmed goddess (we can debate her in the real world later), the (entire) Apsara are, yes, goddesses. Melusine....is not the one from the lostbelt. Sorry, in GHH (Greater Human History), Melusine is more her mythological half-fairy dragon mermaid woman. I don't even think by TM's standards you can call that a goddess but I guess half-fairy is doing a lot of heavy lifting here.
Then we have Kazuradrop who is Muryan, and who the fuck actually knows the rest. But here's the thing- Muryan is...a type of fairy. It's not singular. So this is; just Barghest and Baobhan Sith all over again.
I hate it here. Like 5 of these people here aren't goddesses and we have like 3 different multiples; but I guess everything is a goddess when we use the earth mother goddess theory????

—————
Walking around the New Year’s festival in Kano Country’s capital with his wife was somewhat of a challenge. Sai hadn’t expected it to be easy to begin with; even after all these months, Baby 5 was still struggling with her own worth and fear of abandonment.
He didn’t expect it to be easy… but you never realise just how many vendors are out there shouting ‘try our dumplings!’ and ‘play our game!’ until you have to actively stop your flustered wife from following every single one of them. After two hours, Sai had lost count of how many times he had to stop in his tracks and run back to save his wife (and her debt-riddled wallet) from the clutches of someone whose invitations Sai’s ears completely failed to even register.
It was honestly ridiculous how all these shady characters seemed to always circle around her like vultures. Almost like his wife was wearing a big red sign saying ‘SCAM ME’.
“You’re such a pretty young lady! Your hair is so silky and beautiful! This hair pin would be just perfect! Or maybe this one? Oh, how about both? They go wonderful together and match your eyes!”
Sai took a deep breath, willing himself to stay calm as he strode over to the next stall, this one just covered in the ugliest, gaudiest, tackiest accessories Sai had ever seen. Even from a distance, he could see Baby 5’s face turning deep red as her hands flew up to cover her mouth, no doubt mumbling to herself about being needed. In passing, Sai couldn’t help but note how cute her flushed cheeks and doe eyes looked—but the thought was quickly overpowered by the annoyance he felt.
Because past his wife, he could also see the shameless, uncaring intent behind the vendor’s forceful attitude.
“Hey,” Sai growled as soon as he was close enough, bringing both women’s attention to himself.
The vendor’s eyes seemed to harden for a split second before that award-winning, fake sales smile took over once more. “I’ll be with you shortly, sir. Please, feel free to browse the wares while I attend to this lovely lady!”
“No, you won’t.” Sai had to try very hard to keep his voice level as he took a step forward, placing himself in between the vendor and Baby 5.
“Sir, you can’t—” the woman started but, once their eyes met, she froze, taking a step back. Sai wasn’t sure if she was simply taken aback by the way he towered over her or if some of his anger was showing on his face.
Not that the reason mattered to him.
Biting back any aggressive remarks, Sai turned away from the vendor to instead throw a look at his wife. “Five, let’s—”
“Darling!!”
“What—?! What are you doing?!” he cried in surprise when Baby 5 threw herself at him, her small form pressing against him as she hugged his arm tight.
She beamed up at him, her big eyes dancing with what seemed like actual sparkles, a giggle on her lips.
“I seriously don’t get you,” Sai mumbled, scratching at the back of his neck awkwardly.
This girl’s mind was so confusing and her reactions so random at times that it left him with his head spinning. But… he was starting to get used to it. At first, he would jump out of his skin whenever Baby 5 would call him darling or start fixing his clothes, massage his shoulders, bring him water during training with Boo—or worse, get him breakfast in bed and try to hand feed him as if he were a toddler.
These days, however, he mostly accepted these things as a part of her. A part that needed to be worked on and toned down to be sure, but one that had become… almost endearing. He would rather sit through one of Cavendish’s three-hour rants about how amazing and beautiful and popular he was than admit it though.
But, Baby 5’s overzealous attempt to help and please him were the least of Sai’s concerns right now.
Throwing one last warning look at the vendor, he took a step forward. “Let’s go, Five.”
“Okay, darling!” Baby 5 sang happily as she followed him, her small hands never once loosening their hold on Sai’s forearm.
Sai didn’t mind.
They walked in silence for a while, simply taking in the sights of the festival—all the while Sai made sure to glare at every sales person who only slightly looked like they were about to swoop in.
Finally, Sai heaved a deep sigh.
“Five, you need to learn that it’s okay to say no when you don’t want something,” he said with annoyance tinting his words, glancing at his wife.
She didn’t look back at him; rather, it looked like she was actively avoiding his gaze. If it wasn’t for the way her hands squeezed around his arm momentarily, and the way her already small frame seemingly shrunk even more, he would almost think she didn’t hear him.
“I’m sorry,” she mumbled after a long while, her voice so low it was barely audible.
And immediately, rage started bubbling in Sai’s veins again.
He clenched his fist, the one that Baby 5 wasn’t basically clutching at, willing himself to stay calm. “I’m not angry.” He paused, before quickly rectifying his statement. ”Not at you.”
That seemed to make Baby 5 snap out of whatever mental state she had thrown herself into. She froze for a second, then her big eyes finally turned up to blink at him. “What?”
“I’m not angry at you,” Sai stressed, his brow furrowing. “I’m pissed at everyone else taking advantage of you! It’s like you don’t even know what you want past all the shit everyone else keeps pushing at you!”
“I—I don’t—” Baby 5 stuttered, but then went silent, her cheeks flushing as her eyes shifted to the side again. Looking so guilty.
The sight sent a new wave of anger through Sai. Just how deeply ingrained could one person’s trauma be? How bad would it have been had her so-called ‘family’ not encouraged her bad habits?
It wasn’t fucking fair to her.
Taking a deep breath to force himself to calm down, Sai stopped walking, forcing Baby 5 to pause as well. He ignored the annoyed comments and complaints from the passersby, not even sparing them an apology for blocking the path. He simply looked at his wife for a moment, taking in her small, confused frown, the pink dusting on her cheeks and nose from the chilly air, the way her breath hitched.
Slowly, Sai raised his free hand to touch her cheek. Absent-mindedly, he noted how cold her skin felt.
“Five, just say what you want. No one’s going to toss you away just for saying ‘no’ or ‘I want crab for dinner’. Not here. And if they try, I’ll kick their asses!”
Baby 5’s eyes went wide. And seeing her surprise, the implications of what he had just said hit Sai like a warship.
Retracting his hand as if Baby 5’s skin had burned him, Sai jumped away from her, so abruptly and forcefully that his arm slipped from Baby 5’s grasp. Immediately, both his hands flew up, and he started waving them in front of himself as if he could shove the awkwardness away.
This time, it was his turn to stumble over his own words. “I just—I mean—”
He froze completely when a new sound reached his ears. It took him a few seconds to realise what it was… and when he did, he could only stare in wonder as Baby 5 laughed. Not a giggle, a huff, or a cute little chuckle that sounded almost painfully fake; rather, it was a genuine, happy laughter, so carefree that it startled Sai. He wasn’t sure if he had ever heard her laugh so easily, so openly.
The sight made his heart jump in his chest, something stirring in his stomach. Surprisingly… he didn’t hate the feeling.
Before he could stop himself, Sai took a step forward; one of his hands shot forward, grabbing at Baby 5’s wrist to pull her towards himself. The girl stumbled forward, falling right into Sai’s arms with a surprised yelp, and immediately, Sai’s other hand wrapped around his wife’s waist, holding her close.
“Da—Darling?! What’s going—”
“I don’t know,” Sai said, his voice tight, his eyes closed as heat rushed to his face. Why the hell did he do that? He just hugged her without thinking after seeing her laugh…
But, when Baby 5’s fingers curled into his coat, clutching at the fabric like her life depended on it, her entire body relaxing into him as her face dropped to bury in his chest, Sai’s regret and confusion evaporated. Instead, a strange feeling of rightness bloomed in his chest, making a smile pull on his lips, and his grip on her waist tightened momentarily.
What was this woman doing to him? Just a few months ago, he was engaged to Ooklicia and couldn’t care less about it—or about Ooklicia and her husband harem, for that matter—but now, he couldn’t imagine being married to anyone else. Couldn’t imagine going to sleep every day without Five by his side.
Stepping away a little, just enough for Five to look up at him questioningly, Sai let go of her wrist and waist; instead, slowly, carefully… he cupped her face. He waited a moment, watching his wife’s eyes go wide, before her expression melted, her cheeks turning pink—not from the chill in the air, but from something deeper and warmer. Her eyes fluttered shut then and, as if on cue, Sai’s heart started beating a pace faster. He was now acutely aware of the way her soft skin felt under his touch, her nose a little red from the cold, her breath visible in the freezing air.
Sai’s ears burned for reasons beyond his comprehension. Why was he so nervous? They were married, for fuck’s sake!
Sai took a deep breath—and a second later, their lips finally connected.
It wasn’t a long kiss; it wasn’t sensual or lustful or erotic in any way… and yet, it made Sai feel hot still.
When they pulled away from each other, Sai couldn’t look at Five’s expression. He knew he would only find a happy smile there, but he simply couldn’t bring himself to face it—or more accurately, couldn’t bring himself to face the feelings that would stir inside him at the sight. His face was already burning, he didn’t need to make it any worse.
Turning away quickly, Sai started walking again. He didn’t protest the way Five rushed over to his side to hug his arm close once more as she matched his pace.
“Anyway—” Sai cleared his throat awkwardly ”—what do you want to do now?”
It took Five a few seconds to say anything, and Sai wasn’t surprised; it would probably be a long road before she could express herself freely. He waited patiently while she chewed on her bottom lip before finally… she replied.
“I… want one of the plushies we saw at the shooting game earlier.”
“Alright! Let’s go!” Sai proclaimed loudly, before he turned them around and started walking with purpose.
“We don’t have to go right now!” Five cried, surprised by Sai’s resolve.
Sai huffed. “If we don’t go now, there won’t be any left!”
“But—” Five stopped speaking suddenly, and when Sai glanced at her, she was wearing an expression so flustered and happy that in that moment…
Sai decided.
He would win that plush if it killed him.
—————
By the time they got home that night, Five was hugging a large, fluffy stuffed cat to her chest.
Next to her, Sai could barely see over the mountain of different plushies—the prizes he’d gotten after beating every single game at the festival. He may have gone a little overboard but seeing that beaming, beautiful smile every time he won…
Imagine being Sai during the battle of Dressrosa tho
One minute, you're having fun fighting to the death, the next you're freaking out trying to save your opponent from killing herself for you, suddenly succeeding your grandfather as the Don, and breaking off your engagement just to get engaged to the aforementioned enemy.
I can just imagine him a few days later chatting with Boo and Leo, Baby 5 on his arm, and just suddenly freezing like "wait how did all of that happen in under two minutes, what is this timeline"
IIRC someone said to be that he/she thinks Amaterasu because of the Tamamo Nine hate each other things (But you're right tho)
From what I understand of the Tamamo Nine; they all hate *Tamamo*, and think they should be the real one.
But like yeah that could work under that logic but also it’s not working on any logic if it did why would half of these things not be actual goddesses does KP even have *one*—
Hariti and Amaterasu might be the good candidate for KD's two other goddesses
Okay so for Hariti, I can absolutely see that.
Amaterasu…less so.
Let me explain why-
KD’s whole thing (besides being a sadistic hateful little thing) is she’s meant to be “a nurse”. HER unique skill is “Insect Eater” only works against other Sakura AI - it’s essentially a cannibalizing skill (it’s basically the only thing that can hurt the original Sakura AI since it’s purpose is only to hurt Sakuras). “Repulsion For One’s Kin” is her other unique skill, and it’s another reference to her “being a nurse program” - she gets rid of bugs. Flawed programming.
Now; why does Hariti work with this, and Amaterasu doesn’t (in my mind)?
She is both considered a protector of children, and a stealer of children. A guardian of children, and a killer of children. It’s this contradictory nature matches KD’s own - a flawed program made to delete flawed programs. She is a Sakura AI nurse with no patients, as no Sakura AI needs her.
Amaterasu, as Fate has discussed her…really doesn’t fit as a component. Inside of Extra CCC, Amaterasu calls herself a Beast Candidate. Honestly it’s …weirdly unflattering for the mythological mother of Japan (as she’s believed to be the mother of the first emperor), since she’s treated more like a “a monster that can not be beaten”.
Hariti definitely fits as a component to me. As for who would be the third component, honestly—
Kronos I mean it’s not like we’re actually caring what’s a fucking goddess anymore right considering Kingprotea has a fucking **elephant** and he certainly the fits the cannibalistic style of her skills listen I’m not crazy here
*Ahem*
Honestly since her skill relates to insects, and her duty is to “get rid of bugs”, maybe Bhramari - she is believed to either be a form of Lakshimi (Pancharata texts), or a form of Parvati (Shaivism), but is considered largely an incarnation of the Adi Shakti (Supreme Goddess) (Shaktism). Her major story (to my understanding!) is in the Devi Buagavata Purana (Book 10, Chapter 13); wherein insects save the day by being the only things that can kill an asura who terrifies the other Devis
Now of course I’d love to consider maybe Hittite mythology, or Egyptian, or the Khoi or San traditions — but let’s be honest Fate barely likes to acknowledge the Egyptians.
Or whatever maybe it’s Kama, his bow is made of honeybees in some descriptions. Just throw him in there too why not.
