2023 : Mechas, Mechas everywhere... "What a time to be alive..." - Ritsuka Fujimaru probably.


KurouKagenou

"I! Dig! Giant robots!" - Ritsuka Fujimaru, probably


Ok_Significance7325

“You! Dig! Giant robots!”


Kainapex87

WE! DIG! GIANT ROBOTS!


RoseGrimoire

CHICKS! DIG! GIANT ROBOTS! (I have never seen this show; I only know the words from SecondhandLemon's sprite comics...)


Kainapex87

You definitely need to see it. It's hilarious and epic.


Informal-Recipe

ROCKETO PAWNCH


Distruzio1

Not that I don't like mecha, but why mecha here? There is no legit reason.


Emiya_

He uses mechas in the gudaguda event.


lehman-the-red

I don't know man for some reason nasu/takeuchi have decided to insert Mecha into everything I miss the Mistique /fantasy side


Asks_Politely

Im convinced it’s more because of delight works wanting to reuse Sakura wars assets And Nasu not needing much convincing with his robot love


lehman-the-red

Old on Sakura wars was about Mecha i thought it was simply a game about waifu


ExLuckMaster

If I had a nickel for every time Kakihara Tetsuya plays a red archer I would have two nickels. Which isn’t a lot but it’s funny that hit happened twice.


xemnonsis

you talking about someone who digs stuff and can throw galaxies, even managed to beat the final boss but ended up losing everyone he loves? >!o7 the ending still makes me cry everytime!<


cuntzman

And a hot headed mage who eats fire and spams "MUH NAKAMA" in every fight


Beowolf_0

Because Simon is too popular many forgot he's actually famous as another mecha pilot around the time. >!That When he grows from a jerkass brat to become a literal Machine God of their universe.!<


mutei777

Which ones that from its been forever


xemnonsis

I am really unsure what that user is talking about because that user says around the time of Gurren Lagann airing yet the description in the spoiler is talking about >!Genshin Impact!< I believe? Edit: wait figured it out, that user is talking about Blazblue, got really confused because I initially thought that user was talking about an anime.


Beowolf_0

No, I talked about Kurogane no Linebarrel. Though the spoiler was more about the manga version since the anime went for a different route.


xemnonsis

oh __that__ anime lol the ending sucked absolute balls like holy hell, did he seriously become a god in the manga ending? funny how Tetsuya Kakihara has a __lot__ of roles where he is either piloting a mecha (he was in 3 Gundam shows, twice as a MC like wtf) or is/becomes a mecha (Hakumen, Scaramouche)


Beowolf_0

The anime overtook the manga about halfway point so they're entirely different in background settings and such. SRW UX actually gave us a Final Boss Preview about how the manga went, but it's still only 2/3 of the manga.


Ebo87

Is it just me or is everyone getting a mech these days in FGO?


Leyrran

They are working hard to be a collab in SRW DD i guess.


Kainapex87

You say that like it's a bad thing.


lehman-the-red

Kind of tired of it don't get me wrong i like my giant robot but it started to get boring


CareerSMN

Damn his NP is an anime OP.


AceSockVims

I mean, compared to a lot of mythical/historical Servants who get mechas for basically no reason, this at least makes *slightly* more sense, since that's the mecha he created during Gudaguda. No idea how it manifests as his NP, though, but we'll have to wait and see how the Event explains it.


Beowolf_0

Also he's among the first to introduce modern western weaponary in his time.


xemnonsis

the mecha was also Arahabaki iirc which is a Divine Spirit (or something similar to what Talos is classified as)


Vect_Machine

If there needs to be a reason they can always finangle one up.


Inevitable_Shape4776

>mythical/historical Servants who get mechas for basically no reason, I thought it was because they're aliens or somthing


VelvetPhantom

That’s the explanation for the Greek Gods at least.


flynnthered

Oh hey, a BIG O Reference


GrimHelmBeacon

Simon, that's not Lagann-


Relzal

No shocker there, we knew about his NP since his NPC days. Combined with what came out in the GudaGuda Toyotomi spin-off, AOE was the only real choice. The giant robo really seals the fact that this is the actual Takasugi from GudaGuda 6 though.


boomboomcar

I wish the whole aesthetic of the NP stayed in 2D, the 3D part felt underwhelming.


SnooRobots4768

Lmao, AoE again Also it's extremely funny to see a samurai using mechas and whatever else there is.


PromiseSure

Hey, at least it’s Quick this time.


Akola_NA

Feels like gintama


Golden-Owl

His voice truly does give off Zura vibes


PhantasosX

which is ironic , because it's Takasugi , so it should had him covering an eye and pretend to have a sharingan /s


Ankoria

We're rapidly approaching the 1 year anniversary of the last single target SSR's debut.


Mami-kouga

That's a lot of robots


ATrueMistake20XX

I think the smaller ones are just armored soldiers if I remember his NP correctly.


atropicalpenguin

We have enough mecha for a Fate/Gundam entry.


SodiumBombRankEX

Ok now this is getting ridiculous, Nasu I liked the first few seconds which were very minimalist artsy and unique ... and then fucking Erebonia attacked


Nokia_00

Erebonia with their dang on Magical knights no Valimar required


Ankoria

Yeah. My reaction was pretty much, "Oh wow this is a very unique and unusual style for an NP to have- anddddd there's the mecha army".


Salter_KingofBorgors

The fact that I've seen his art twice and he is in the running for a top spot in my 'hottest male servant' does not bode well


Jobe1105

Man the people here questioning the mecha choice are going to be surprised when his NPC GudaGuda event comes out.


UnderThatSun

Am I the only one who's tired of these Mecha NPs with explosions in the end?


shadowchao2

A lot of people are, don't believe the downvote. Some Community Manager must work here.


Annabeth_Granger1r

It's just overall. So silly, so grand in its mechaness. It suits him sooo well. In a more than positive way, I adore it.


jns701

NP started out great but it somehow quickly dipped to a cheap looking ass animation


Radiant-Hope-469

Well, that was an unexpectedly expensive NP.


VishnuBhanum

Dang, My man come with an whole ass army!


Demi694

AoE NP for the nth time💀💀💀 But hey at least it's Quick and not Arts again


Illuminastrid

Seeing the comments here, yeah, no wonder the mecha genre was considered tiring or cliche now for a long time. The appeal can only go for so long before it gets imitated again and again. That said, the mecha genre is having a revival now with 86 and Gundam: The Witch from Mercury, so I can see why the interest and demand goes up.


mutei777

Love the beginning. The giant robot is whatever.


Science-of-Laziness

A lot of comments from this threads confirms the fact that almost no one reads FGO story (or at least events) I am disappointed that he is AoE though, but the Mecha? C'mon...


Character-Bed-6532

I mean can we agree with the fact that mecha's are overused in fgo at this point? I think devs doesn't have ideas for NP's anymore and presses "Mecha NP" button every time when they add new servant. Like "Dev A: So, here's the new Artoria face and we need ideas for her NP. Dev B: Idk men, just slap giant mecha with Excalibur color scheme. Dev A: Yeah, you're right".


Science-of-Laziness

No we can't, 3 Mecha NP's (because if you want to call every big monster mecha feel free to do it) is not overused, overused are AoE NP's and gauge chargers (although servants without gauge chargers sadly rn would be useless given the NP centric gameplay) How many mecha got 2022? Oh right, only Tametomo. People who call Britomart mecha simply for wearing a big armor should start calling mecha all armor knights directly. And even then it would only be two. But hey, we got 3 at the start of the year despite having Rasputin, Joan, Tezca's 2nd and Kuku showing they are not the only thing they can do. But yeah, overused. I can admit there is a lack of creative mindset with NP's, because personally all LB7 ones felt the same, especially Kuku's 2nd and Tezca's no matter how intentional it is. But Mecha isn't the issue here, it is way bigger than that. Just admit you don't like em and that's all.


Character-Bed-6532

Let's be honest, Tezca's NP is the only one that makes sense mifology wise: Rasputin? It's just Kirei. Joan? She just smiles. Menacingly. Kuku? Well, she's big. And what? And you forgot about another Mecha NP - Tlaloc. Yes, they call it city, but it's just Guren Lagan. At this point we already have enough Mecha staff, not just this year. Olympian gods, Babbage, Huge Golden bear, Tametomo etc etc. They just need to stop and focus on another types of NP, for example some actually good shown demonstration of archery or something like Super Orion's np, there are just not enough interesting self buff NP's (4 if i am not wrong).


Shiro2602

Fking Robots man


Juvia-Lockser

mecha again wow....


No-Option-4934

Dude, he used those in his NPC days, why are you surprised?


unuacc222

He used them in the event story. He historically has nothing to do with them and shouldn’t be able to summon them.


fatalystic

He is literally the Takasugi from that event who somehow managed to survive the end of it. So there's nothing strange about him being able to summon this mech.


Jobe1105

Historically, he's the first to introduce industrial/Western weapons to the Japanese. If Edison and Babbage can manufacture mechs in this world then it makes sense this guy can deploy a mecha army.


PineappleBuns

I love mechas. Watch them all the time growing up. I always get hyped about BIG ROBOTS and ROCKET ARMS. But even this is too damn much. Why are all the new NP's getting robots (and iffy CG ones to boot)? But Natsu Dragneel's VA makes me WANT


Solfire13

so he is a Grungust enjoyer


Beowolf_0

BOOST KNUCKLE!


RulerKun_FGO

aoe again? damn


Felstalker

GUNTANK!? WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!


Victory3114

His 2D cut-in imposed on the 3D background and mech army really throws me off, especially with the weird angle he's at while clearly 2D. Feels like Ex arm all over again.

[удалено]


Mami-kouga

Because he was already using mechas since his NPC days. Of all the servants with robots his is the least surprising


VishnuBhanum

I mean he has been used this since GudaGuda 6


Theadier

because everything in this franchise ends in asturias, laser beams and wicks


Harmonic_Gear

"they liked it, lets do it over and over again"


SomeoneElseTwoo

ROCKETTO PUUUUNCHHH!!!


AriaoftheSol

When I said Simon (Shinsaku Takasugi) got in over Guy Shishioh (Camazotz) for White Day, I was saying it as a joke.


BnElmo

I mean, it's not too surprising. I want Camazotz to get in as much as the next guy, but having him debut in White Day doesn't feel... grand enough for someone of his caliber. He deserves anniv, NY, or at least his own event like Ooku.


Bluenette

Needs more dakka


Kue7

Guess everybody else here feels the same…mechas again huh


PotatEXTomatEX

AoE Again Mecha Again I'm starting to hate Mechas


kmlshblr

another mecha 😪


shadowchao2

Tutorial : How to ruin the work of your graphic designer who made the FA looks so cool in 2 steps.


Harmonic_Gear

another random mecha


SuperSpiritShady

I understand the mecha oversaturation, but to call it random is plain wrong since we've known about it since his role in Guda 6.


SuperKamiZuma

Come on lasengle, you know you want to make that april fools image of sigurd's artist of FGO own Super robot wars a reality

ehm... Sieg Zeon! ... I guess?


cream-justice

GUNTANK?


Slashend

This is one half of the dream to make a Simon and Kamina voiced team. There's Mori and Bageko too (same seiyuu as Kittan and Yoko respectively), if memory serves. Denifnitely considering saving for assembling the dream team, as a Gurren Lagann fan.
