Can we have a thread to discuss nasuverse lore?

We have new stuff to discuss in the form of Strange Fake vol. 4 and Chaldea Ace.

No translation for Chaldea Ace but it turns out that Edmond Dantes in life got his black fire powers from some sort of secret church artifact that Faria told him about, and used them to defeat Roa for good (so Roa in the Fateverse never possessed Ciel and Tsukihime never happened).

Strange Fake 4 was translated by an anon on /fgog/, copypasting below:

Strange Fake 4 stuff

Flat's parents think their son is a monster and have tried to kill him multiple times. There aren't any details on how, but he matter-of-factly recounts how his parents tried to kill him for the Nth time and it's implied that he casually dodged all the attempts. The current people of the Escardos clan have no idea, but Flat is actually the culmination of a forgotten ancient project that Zelretch and his friend know about.

Sigma fools everyone into thinking that his servant is the lancer Charlie Chaplin. To elaborate: It's a feint when fake assassin comes after him- He yells "get her, Chaplin!". It turns out that he's a fan of comedies (though he doesn't actually laugh at them). When asked if he ever heard of King Arthur and the Holy Grail by one of the Watcher's shadows, a knight, he says "yeah, it's that Monty Python movie, right?". Later when reporting to Faldeus on the phone he's asked if he knows the true name of his servant yet, but one of Watcher's shadows warns him that fake assassin is listening so he runs with the Charlie Chaplin thing.

Sigma allies with Richard/Ayaka and fake assassin. Fake assassin symphatises with his past.

Elkidu spends the entire book chilling in the forest with the wolf.

Harli was nearly killed by the berserker she summoned (giant robot spider with a lion face who may or may not have something to do with Edison) but was saved by Philia, the Einzbern homunculus. But while that's Philia's body, it's Ishtar in control.
>>
>>52698736
Philia brings Harli and robot berserker over to Bazdilot's place and they fight. The robot berserker has the ability to absorb electricity from cables in the ground, and absorb rubble to make itself bigger, and has some sort of optic camouflage (that also silences it entirely) skill. It surprises and puzzles everyone including Franchesca.

The masterminds behind the war (Faldeus' calls up a general in Washington) have measures put into place to wipe the entire city clean if things get out of control. The berserker/Alkeides fight gets close so Franchesca sends Prelati over to stop them with his NP, Grand Illusion, which has the power to make an illusion strong enough to fool the world itself (the damage done by the fight looks like it's undone and is physically undone, but this is because he fooled the texture of the world itself and it will be wrecked again after several days; Faldeus has to use this time to prepare to handle the damage). Both sides in the fight strike a deal with Prelati, but no further details are given.

>Wasn't the prevailing theory it was Ahura Mazda?
She literally calls on the bull which takes on the form of a giant typhoon in the last line in the novel and Narita says in the afterword that she was the real reason why he waited for chapter 7 (Ishtar was always going to be in SF from the beginning, then he heard about FGO and waited)


Ayaka has a dream where she sees Richard's past, in which Saint Germain shows up in front of Richard in a time-travelling automobile, and he addresses her directly in the dream even though it's Richard's memory.

Jester is sleeping under Tsubaki's bed, and infiltrates her dream in the form of a little boy, in order to manipulate her to use Pale Rider to fuck up more people: For example he tells her about a "fire" where the Berserker fight is happening in order to make her hope the people who live near there are okay, and that results in Pale Rider brainwashing everyone in that area.
>>
>>52698737
Duma asks Orlando to send over some of the police officers including the guy who lost his arm fighting Jester. He seems to be using a new NP which turns people themselves into heroes or something, but nothing about that's been actually revealed yet.

Flat notices Pale Rider and heads to the police station and tells Orlando everything, They team up to do something about Pale Rider and save Tsubaki, but there's a spy within the police and Alkeides shows up too trying to kill Tsubaki. Alkeides has the NP King's Order which lets him summon stuff from his legends (it's suggested that there are twelve), including Cerberus. Jack fights him and combines his two NPs, From Hell (from the idea that Jack the Ripper was a literal demon, which turns the area around him into the popular image of hell with fire and brimstone, and transforms him into a FGO demon) and Natural Born Killers (from the idea that Jack the Ripper was not one person but a bunch of unrelated people: Which lets him multiply. The max number depends on the master's mana, and with Flat's he can get up to over 500 clones) which results in 200 demons wailing on Alkeides at the same time (200+ is the max number of clones he can get while using both NPs at the same time).

Alkeides uses a new NP, Reincarnation Pandora, which lets him steal someone else's NP. He steals From Hell and grows demon horns and wings and beats Jack.

Gilgamesh, and Richard and fake assassin show up at the very end after Jack retreats.

And Hippolyte and Enkidu do literally nothing in the whole book.

Duma comes out of hiding (his workshop was underground) babbling about how it's time for his heroes' (the police officers') to shine, while activating an NP, Musketeers' Masquerade.
>>
>>52698746
In the epilogue: Faldeus is questioned by the general from Washington about a bunch of mysterious deaths of VIPs in the government. He looks it up and finds that the deaths are spreading outwards from the location of the mafia boss (Bazdilod's boss) he sent Hassan to kill, and he thinks this is Hassan's doing (it's not his orders though).

Philia is standing on top of Francesca's workshop (a zeppelin) calling upon Gugalanna which is taking on the form of a typhoon 800 km in diameter.

Novel ends here.

Narita's afterword also says that he only managed to do half of what he originally planned for volume 4 (he just started writing and then realised at the halfway point that he'd already had an entire novel worth of text).

In here Watcher is just shown as having the ability to see and hear literally everything (though it can't read thoughts). Also the shadows refer to Watcher in the third person so they aren't actually Watcher themselves.

Flat can see things nobody else can that's all true, but it's not really said what exactly it is he can do, and he WAS checked for having mystic eyes and he doesn't have any.

>Can you give specifics on Reincarnation Pandora? Like, what the exact limitations are?'
His profile's not in, only Prelati and Jack, so all we know is that it "steals" NPs.

Also, Prelati can't use his spellbook (which is listed as EX rank) because he gave it to Gilles. It has to be returned to him by Gilles "on the soul level" for him to be able to use it again.


According to Narita: FGO Ishtar is Ishtar mixed with Rin. Philia is an empty vessel so SF Ishtar is 100% Ishtar in personality.

Other people like Alkeides say that she's not the actual Ishtar, but "the broken code of a goddess" or "remaining echoes", though. Alkeides does go straight for her at the first encounter because he hates gods and all but by the latter part of the book he's just going "eh she's not even the real thing".
>>
>>52698754
Forgot to mention: The Ygddmillenia spec ops team that got killed by Jack in Apocrypha show up here too, having been hired to kill Flat. Jack disables all of them and leaves them tied up in a motel room, along with a few other assassins who'd previously been sent after Flat, including Sagara (Jack's summoner in Apocrypha).

>Tell us about the rumor that he got assmad when Buz shit talked Jason
This is true, to Alkeides Jason was the only person to really treat him like a human and he regards him as a friend.
>They forgot about his wife though
Shit I do remember his wife and child being mentioned at some point, might have been that Jason was the only one aside from them who treated him like a human. Can't remember where in the book it was so can't check.


Franchesca knows what Harli used as a catalyst (she's the one who got Harli in on this in the first place) and is puzzled by what she summoned, so true berserker might actually not be Edison.

Yggdmillenia's power was lost over half a century ago and their lineage in the present day has been completely dismantled in the SF world, and the spec ops guys are now guns for hire who take jobs from both magicians and regular people.

>Does Jack die?
No, Flat uses a command spell to teleport him away just as Alkeides was about to deal the final blow.

Narita says in the afterword that Jack and Harli's group were supposed to end early in his initial plans, but as he went on he wanted to write more about them.

Also, fake assassin is now getting mana from one of Richard's companions, the mage, and Jester notices that she's not being corrupted by his mana and rages.

>Someone said there were conditions that need to be met for Reincarnation Pandora to activate, are there any?

Unknown. It's stated that he only got it because of being warped by the avenger class, though, and he does say before using it that he finds Jack worthy of it.

Chaldea Ace #1 drama CD summary

Chapter 2: October 1837. Concetta narrates that this is the story of the Count of Monte Cristo's other revenge. Angelo Braga calls on Edmond in his home. Haidee warns Edmond that he should not have brought Angelo here, but Edmond tells her to go away, as it is not yet time for the two of them to meet. When Concetta comes to his room to tell him that Angelo has arrived, he's alone. Concetta asks if he was talking to someone, and he says that it was just a phantom.

Chapter 3: Edmond and Angelo talk over dinner. Edmond had apparently been sniffing around the church and Angelo is here for him, and the location of the treasure of Monte Cristo. Edmond reveals how he was taught by Faria and calls him his second father, and also reveals that this was a trap for Angelo, one of the Three Wise Men who got Faria locked up. The food is poisoned and Angelo has taken a lethal dose. It doesn't work because of his special church training and he attacks Edmond. They fight a bit (Edmond with a pistol) and Edmond can't scratch him, so he has Concetta activate a trap which blows Angelo up along with the mansion; Angelo does barely survive but Edmond finishes him off with a black key.

Chapter 4: October 1837. The count moves to Rome to continue his plot. The target is a cardinal. It's mentioned that Concetta is Giovanni's cousin. They plan to draw the cardinal in with money.

>>52702664
Chapter 5: One of Edmond's informants, one of many he has all over Europe, is killed. The killing was thought to be by bandits or pirates, but Concetta narrates that it "went over the line".

The scene cuts to Tarantella interrogating a man. Tarantella talks about the role of the Eight Sacrament Association he's from: He doesn't expect to find any sacred artifacts in the man's home, but there's someone on the loose who was trained by a heretic who used holy relics for his own gains, and is targeting a cardinal, and so he has to do his job here. The man notices blood on Tarantella's hands, and Tarantella says it's his daughter's blood, or was it his wife? Either way he will end up the same.

Concetta narrates that the second set of killings was of a man who started an investment company in Spain, and his wife and 5-year-old daughter. Edmond's group are the only ones who realise that these killings are connected, as the man who was killed was related to Morrel. The killings continue, and some of the corpses are left without a drop of blood.

Chapter 6: Edmond is sure that the killings are the doing of the last of the Three Wise Men and is mad. The killer left behind a message by spelling out a word, letter by letter, with the organs of his victims: Tarantella. Edmond wonders if this is how the church works, or if Tarantella is just crazy, and if this is vengeance for Angelo, or if he's just playing around with people's lives. Either way he's mad, and drinks more of "the elixir". He tells Concetta to prepare, and she narrates that the counterattack began. They started by spreading information that the Count of Monte Cristo would be holding a huge party as bait, and they rent the Villa Medici for this purpose.
>>
>>52702678
Chapter 7: Haidee warns Edmond that this is way too dangerous. She wants him to live, and says that Faria would have wanted the same. Edmond says nobody knows what the dead want, and all he's doing is ridding himself of his own sorrows. Haidee wishes she could heal him of his sorrows, but Edmond just tells her to begone, and to wait for him on the other side beyond love and hate.

Tarantella shows up and there's nobody else at the "party" besides him. He recognises the count by his white hair. Tarantella says that Faria turned his back on the church saying that he wanted to save all life. Edmond says that those are the church's teachings, but Tarantella says that's just the church's front, and the truth is different. Edmond says that they're a bunch of heretics, bloodstained murderers who themselves turned their backs on the messiah and the prophets, and activates a trap which fires spears at Tarantella, and then a trap which binds him with chains made to subdue tigers. Tarantella breaks out easily. Edmond shoots him in the forehead and starts laughing but Tarantella gets back up and pulls out the spears.

Tarantella uses a white light that burns Edmond and defeats him instantly, but doesn't kill him because he still needs to interrogate him. Edmond asks if the church is all monsters, and Tarantella says that not all members have power. The cardinal is a weak human for example, who isn't even an executor- an inquisitor, who represents the will of god- like Angelo or Tarantella. Edmond is enraged by the claim that they're doing god's work and gets up again, blocking Tarantella's vision with his coat and stabbing him in the heart with a knife. Tarantella says that he's not just an executor, and asks where Faria's treasure is while hitting Edmond with more magecraft. Edmond says that there is no treasure. Tarantella observes that Edmond doesn't fear death, or pain, or damage to his body, thinking that time in the chateau made him strong, and says that he'll have Edmond recall what pain is like by destroying one of his belongings, and leaves. Edmond regrets listening to Ali and Concetta and not using explosives in the traps. Haidee calls out to him and asks her to give him more power. She says he already has it within him.

Chapter 8: Concetta is worried. She and Ali wanted to fight alongside Edmond but he refused, and Ali was sent back to Paris while Concetta waits at the inn. Tarantella shows up at the inn and enters her room. She shoots him in the heart but he heals immediately, so she goes after him with a knife going for the throat, but he doesn't take any damage and kills her.

>>52702716
Chapter 9: Tarantella finishes sucking Concetta dry just as Edmond arrives. Edmond realises that he's a vampire. Tarantella says that he's not a vampire, and reveals his true name as Mikhael Roa Balldamnjohn.

Faria narrates about dead apostles and Roa, and says that he wasn't able to tell Edmond about this because Roa put a curse on him. Faria also mentions that he left Edmond "the treasure of darkness", he stole from the church, that would one day help Edmond out when he one day faces a non-human enemy that he would lose to- The treasure of Monte Cristo, which has the power to remake a person.

Edmond laughs and says it doesn't matter what Roa is, and that he, and not Roa, represents god's will, and starts burning with black fire. He immediately understands how it works, and how it's a weapon for him to burn his enemies, and quotes the bible saying "vengeance is mine". Roa recognises the black fire as the Monte Cristo Mythology, a legend hidden in the mountain of Christ, the despair of those without god, the flames of hell and the void, power equal to that from the age of mythology, which forces a magic circuit and magic crest into the user.

>>52702730

Edmond tells him to shut up and blasts him through the hotel's wall. Roa runs, Edmond flies after him, and they fight in the air. Roa uses the moves of multiple reincarnations, including the curses of the seventh and the barriers of the fourth. Edmond just gets madder and calls upon the fire of vengeance to eat his soul and turn to a black flame, breaking the barrier imprisoning him, and he grabs and burns Roa while laughing, declaring that they'll just have to see whose soul is incinerated first. Roa doesn't believe that there's such a thing as a fire that can burn souls, but Edmond says that this fire can. Roa can't heal and Edmond asks him to just try and pretend to be the messiah in front of god again. Roa says "bakana bakana bakana bakana bakana bakanaaaa" and starts to say that he can just reincarnate even if his body is destroyed, but is cut off when Edmond laughs at him and spouts his victory lines from FGO.

Chapter 10: By the time he realises it, Edmond is standing alone. Nothing is left of Roa but cinders. He feels something vanishing from his body, and believes that that's the treasure of Monte Cristo, and realises that he was saved by Faria again. His body will never be enveloped in black flames again, not unless he's someday reborn as something as inhuman as a vampire. He prays for Concetta to watch over his vengeance. He heads for the cathedral and is stopped by a guard, who demands to know who he is. He laughs and says that the Count of Monte Cristo has come for the cardinal.

Chapter 11: Haidee narrates that some time later the cardinal lost his position, and that it's unknown if Edmond killed him. Either way, his vengeance in Rome was over; But this is only the tale of the vengeance for Faria, the other vengeance, and so this is not the end but the beginning of the Count of Monte Cristo's story of vengeance in Paris.
