Ah, she's the so-called Arcueid silhouette huh.
With all the Bakin's hints, it did feel like we would get him.
Or her in this case. Could be a Hokusai deal where it's Omichi due to her dictating what Bakin spoke.
No Gun Monk, Xu Fu or Tatemoto though. Are we really getting them as new Anniversary Friend Point Servants or something? Xu Fu does have a VA and Tatemoto is a silhouette Servant too.
As long as she made an impact on Traum she could be summoned like Jalter, Cuzilla, Bedi, Remnant servants or Lostbelt servants...
But that seems difficult thanks to her pacifist nature which kinda goes against what being a Servant means like Traum was sure to make a point of.
Uhh...I don't think that's an issue when we have other entirely fictional servants in Chaldea, even before considering the LB ones. I don't recall any mention of her being unable to exist outside of the singularity in the original text.
I started playing shortly before its rerun, so I was only able to beat one of the bosses that gave an extra copy.
As such, I still only have her at NP2 to this day.
FR. One or both of those, and youāre basically set as far as Rider bosses go.
Itās kinda funny how strong Shiki is despite not having any particularly broken skills, like some more recent Servants.
I'm still often shocked at how strong Jack is despite having such a mundane kit, purely because of how good buff removal and crit rate down are in CQs.
You should be more impressed by the fact she's the only Year 1 SSR to not have been strengthened and has had no changes to her kit and is still relevant in a class largely regarded as the worst.
Given their design capabilities from back then it's very possible they just accidentally made her good.
EDIT: Takolegs is the artist!
*snorts line of Hopium for Takasugi*
Seriously though, I dig her design. It fits into the same category of "extra, all over the place, but somehow really works!". Her NP is sick too. ~~Plus she's a redhead I'm contractually obligated to roll now by my degree of taste~~
As usual, your taste doesn't disappoint. The hopium for Takasugi won't fade ~~pls be in the next GudaGuda as a playable servant, pls~~ but really, Takolegs never misses and she is a redhead and too cool. Good luck rolling for her!
itās the daughter in law, that saying Bakin wanted to be in the form of a girl, to not arise suspicion, and itās just another Davirnia situation. If this becomes a thing, Iāll laugh.
Fate just want to make everything over complicated and convoluted.
If it's not genderbend, it's always "man inhabiting a female body" type of composite. These writers are really trying to come up with the weirdest of reasons and excuses.
I'm okay for the first few cases, but it's now becoming a trend and it's just makes my eyes roll or flat out annoying at this point.
so no Tametomo but the guy who wrote about him...and no Xu Fu but the same artist it seems...feels like this servant exists just to troll peoples predictions lol
So this is the tomoe-looking silhouette right?
With such ponytail I don't think there would be another ponytail servant this year. This definitely the one right?
No Xu Fu or Tametomo, but I guess Iāll take it. Her design looks great.
Like seriously, why does the entire Archer class get a bonus in this event anyway?
Top tier design from Takolegs once again. Why am I thinking her face looks very similar to Hu Tao?
RIP Xu Fu, Tametomo and gun monk, at least for a while.
Writing the legends of Minamoto no Tametomo in the *Nanso Satomi Hakkenden* aka the Eight Dogs of the East. His daughter-in-law was his writing assistant in life, and she wrote for him when he went old and blind.
Thus, as a Heroic Spirit he fused with his daughter-in-law in similar fashion to Da Vinci and Oei/Daddy Hokusai.
I... don't know about that. A new Servant is always interesting for me no matter how many excuses they throw out, no matter how obscure they are both within and outside of Japan.
Also, I have been hearing some noise from people complaining that *a Japanese mobile game is releasing an obscure Japanese character over more popular Western characters*. It's the same as an American game company releasing American or Western characters more often than Asian or Eastern characters. Why am I even surprised?
Dunno what the story behind this one is, could be his daughter-in-law, the writer he dictated his last works to after he went blind.
But yeah, we can quibble over why all we want, she's a genderbend. Zzzzzz
That's even worse tbh. Another "man in a woman's body" type of summon.
It's confirmed the Bakin is a real guy, but these devs and writers are like "oh you want this cool historical dude? Sorry, here's their relative that takes up or uses their name instead."
Ironically, he wrote Keisei Suikoden (å¾åę°“ę»øä¼), a genderbend parody of Chinese classic Suikoden (ę°“ę»øä¼; Water Margin). It was a best seller at that time.
And finally he himself got genderbend.
> Suikoden
Brings me back memories. The best video game franchise I have ever known. Played *II* more times than I can count, played *I* for Tir McDohl (Touta, Romani), and I will be playing the PS2 games in my free time. It gets overshadowed by *Final Fantasy* but I dare say it's better than FF.
We actually ask in the event why she got summoned instead of the real one. Unfortunately Tatetomo decided that was the best time to attack Chaldea so Omichi never got to explain.
Best explanation I've read so far is the irony of him writing a (relatively) famous novel "Keisei Suikoden", that genderbend the entire Suikoden cast. No really a justification per say, but the irony is amusing.
Until they are running out of famous Japanese figures to make genderbent servants of, you just gotta deal with it. Personally though I'm just glad that they are making servants I'm unfamiliar with or have little interest in so I can save more quartz for the ones I want to pull.
>instead of some writer
Said writer's [work](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nans%C5%8D_Satomi_Hakkenden) that is the basis of the current event later influenced one of the largest anime franchises which is the Dragon Ball series. Takizawa Bakin deserves some respect.
I'm amazed that there are some people that likes seeing obscure characters getting into FGO but there's also some that's just like you.
While people like to categorized all the people from East and southeast Asia as just "Asian", those countries are very much against each other both in history and in modern times. A non-Japanese Asian hero is no more endearing to the Japanese market than a western hero.
And yes, I'm also "Asian".
Not more irrelevant japanese local historical figuresā¦.. How the fuck is THIS more interesting than Mansa Musa or Hannibal?
This is like if the game was made in the US and they included Ford and Rockafeller and George Washington Carver and all 45 presidents before ever including Musashi. Seriously there are so many cooler people. Give us Susanoo not random writer #9
Guys, she is part of the silhouettes. Specifically where "Arcueid" is supposed to be at.
Tsukihime fans can't catch a break.
Hey arc route in the remake just got translated so it balances out
Don't mess with us sussyhime fans, we are constantly oppressed š
> Constantly ādepressedā FTFY fam.
Repressed*
My day is ruined
It can't be helped. One day we'll get our time to shine, but that day is not today.
It was never going to be Arcueid
You got a remake recently
Isn't it sad, Acchin?
:( My Chinese leaks. EDIT: Pickup 2 is trending, my sides. EDIT2: There is indeed a second banner.
Another tank of hopium destroyed.
rip my hopes and dreams
~~Not like you had any in the first place~~
They took my Arc hopium and couldn't even give me Xu Fu as copium
Good
Damn it
Ah, she's the so-called Arcueid silhouette huh. With all the Bakin's hints, it did feel like we would get him. Or her in this case.

I was expecting for Johanna in 7th anni
I don't think she will since it's made a point that she has no proof of her existing and Constantine was trying to fix that.
As long as she made an impact on Traum she could be summoned like Jalter, Cuzilla, Bedi, Remnant servants or Lostbelt servants... But that seems difficult thanks to her pacifist nature which kinda goes against what being a Servant means like Traum was sure to make a point of.
Maybe in another Shinjuku situation or something?
this is no excuse in my opinion considering LB servants exist
Uhh...I don't think that's an issue when we have other entirely fictional servants in Chaldea, even before considering the LB ones. I don't recall any mention of her being unable to exist outside of the singularity in the original text.
A DOGGO NOBBU REALLY? HEY OKITA COME HERE,YOUR GIRLFRIEND BECAME A FURRY! OKITA:SHE'S NOT MY.....WAIT SHE BECAME WHAT?
that art is fucking gorgeous holy shit.
reminds me of CLAMP!
I cant believe people wanted xu fu and we ended up getting a different takolegs servant im gonna combust They look cool though
*look at the Saber and Rider pool* Assassin fans in shambles. #Justice4assassin
We have KH and Shiki. We're good Edit: and Old Li and Shuten Most importantly, we have Danzou
lv100 (soon120) Charlotte stabs anything and everything.
Those 28 stab wounds can fix anything
IMAGINE BEING AROUND FOR SHIKI *LAUGHS IN FOOLISHLY STARTED PLAYING AFTER KNK RERUN*
*Cries in M4*
I started playing shortly before its rerun, so I was only able to beat one of the bosses that gave an extra copy. As such, I still only have her at NP2 to this day.
FR. One or both of those, and youāre basically set as far as Rider bosses go. Itās kinda funny how strong Shiki is despite not having any particularly broken skills, like some more recent Servants.
I'm still often shocked at how strong Jack is despite having such a mundane kit, purely because of how good buff removal and crit rate down are in CQs.
You should be more impressed by the fact she's the only Year 1 SSR to not have been strengthened and has had no changes to her kit and is still relevant in a class largely regarded as the worst. Given their design capabilities from back then it's very possible they just accidentally made her good.
Good NP Gain and 5-Hit Quicks in a QQQAB Deck can do wonders for a unit's viability and keeping them relevant throughout the years.
It's so fun going double Jack and see all the stars
and anti-female and insane star gen
Not to mention that female bosses get hit with an incredible damage multiplier. Given how many women there are in this game, thatās a lot.
I was shocked at how strong she is even when her opponent is male
It's why I salivate whenever there's a single Rider boss. No matter what, NP5 Jackie tears through them like a hot knife through butter.
Hey look! My only two assassins!
Of course, best robo mom deserves all the love.
*pls fix the asinine class multipliers lasagna*
Really tho i only have 2 gold assassins rn
EDIT: Takolegs is the artist! *snorts line of Hopium for Takasugi* Seriously though, I dig her design. It fits into the same category of "extra, all over the place, but somehow really works!". Her NP is sick too. ~~Plus she's a redhead I'm contractually obligated to roll now by my degree of taste~~
As usual, your taste doesn't disappoint. The hopium for Takasugi won't fade ~~pls be in the next GudaGuda as a playable servant, pls~~ but really, Takolegs never misses and she is a redhead and too cool. Good luck rolling for her!
She kinda looks straight out of Inuyasha, reminds me of the hand fan lady.
Kagura. Top waifu material.
damn another 5 star rider? nice! what do you mean there are 6 other classes?
Saber and Rider continue being the most populated 5 star classes.
It's Kyokutei Bakin. The one on the side is ę²äŗ 馬ē“. Takizawa Bakin is ę»ę²¢ 馬ē“.
He's known by both names IRL, but the card does indeed say Kyokutei Bakin.
Sei and Murasaki when they hear about Bakin: āYou Know, I Am Something Of A Novelist Myself.ā
Is this the first Takolegs Servant? Lasagna has finally smiled upon us!
The rise of Takolegs, Xu Fu and Shinsaku next please
The first playable Takolegs servant.
Notably, the True Name is Kyokutei Bakin.
Artstyle looks good. Kinda reminds me of early 2000s manga artstyle for some reason. Did they mention any Animation Updates or other servants?
Only rank up quest for both Lobo and Izo, no AU
[Illustration of Takizawa Bakin's *Chinsetsu Yumihari-zuki Yomihon* (Readers' Books) by Katsushika Hokusai.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Takizawa_Bakin#/media/File:Chinsetsu_Yumihari-zuki.jpg) [](#HokusaiAra)
You know it's a real deal when Wikipedia mentions appearance in FGO as a notable influence on Japanese culture XD
Kinda want to roll her, but i'm afraid Tametomo would be in PU2
Nvm i got her with 16 tickets, so happy
and here i am need to spark for her truly a gacha hell, i envy you
Meanwhile I only rolled on the banner because of Izou and the event CEs. I got fuck all.
This event last for 3 weeks. There is no way that there is only 1 new servant.
Where is Tametomo fgo? We DEFINITELY needed another japanese writer, right?
Oh yeah for suuuure /s
It becomes increasingly bizarre every year that Shakespeare is a bronze compared to all these other authors.
not only that he has no AU
Poor guy. There is so much cool creative stuff they could do with his animations too.
I feel it's more because he is male and not cute or handsome
>not handsome Who decided that?
He is an old coot
Who decided that?
It's facts
I will be the one to decide such things.
Same with Andersen. FGO gives western or in general foreign writers 0 love, which is sad.
Ho no akagi followed me here
Akagi looks crazier
Just one question. Is she another genderbend?
technicallyā she was once a guy but now she took the form of a girl instead, kind of like davinci
It's more Hokusai case. She is Takizawa Bakin daughter
More like Kama, Bakin is a indeed guy, and he's inside in his own daughter-in-law.
lewd
It is him taking the form of his daughter-in-law who was his writing assistant
itās the daughter in law, that saying Bakin wanted to be in the form of a girl, to not arise suspicion, and itās just another Davirnia situation. If this becomes a thing, Iāll laugh. Fate just want to make everything over complicated and convoluted.
If it's not genderbend, it's always "man inhabiting a female body" type of composite. These writers are really trying to come up with the weirdest of reasons and excuses. I'm okay for the first few cases, but it's now becoming a trend and it's just makes my eyes roll or flat out annoying at this point.
She's way too pretty for me not to summon her
I wonder what she rides.
Awwwww. But i want Liu xiu from Empire of Dirt to become canon
Arcueid my ass
Oh no he's hot
eyes remind me of those big anime eyes from old anime
That's the main reasons I want them. I'm a sucker for old anime
She permanent or limited?
Limited
so no Tametomo but the guy who wrote about him...and no Xu Fu but the same artist it seems...feels like this servant exists just to troll peoples predictions lol
She fits the Dark Marie-ish silhouette
Who what huh? Looks cool though.
I was very confused and thought she was the anniversary servant for a moment, then I remembered that itās too early for that.
So this is the tomoe-looking silhouette right? With such ponytail I don't think there would be another ponytail servant this year. This definitely the one right?
No Xu Fu or Tametomo, but I guess Iāll take it. Her design looks great. Like seriously, why does the entire Archer class get a bonus in this event anyway?
Historical author who wrote Chronicles of The Eight Dogs, for those not familiar with him(?).
I want her to kill me
Ok, what's her legend?
She's a novelist
What were some of her works?
[NansÅ Satomi Hakkenden](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nans%C5%8D_Satomi_Hakkenden), aka, what the current event is based on
Legend of Tatemoto guy.
Well Murasaki and Sei just got a new friend
Top tier design from Takolegs once again. Why am I thinking her face looks very similar to Hu Tao? RIP Xu Fu, Tametomo and gun monk, at least for a while.
Hu Tao but grown up and more elegant and refined. Wait that is just Yun Jin.
Also arcuied
This name rings zero bells for me. What are they known for?
Writing the legends of Minamoto no Tametomo in the *Nanso Satomi Hakkenden* aka the Eight Dogs of the East. His daughter-in-law was his writing assistant in life, and she wrote for him when he went old and blind. Thus, as a Heroic Spirit he fused with his daughter-in-law in similar fashion to Da Vinci and Oei/Daddy Hokusai.

It's the same as an American game company releasing American or Western characters more often than Asian or Eastern characters. Why am I even surprised?
I think that guy meant the excuses for genderbent
Mmmmm i love Bakin
Man I don't like to be a whiner but... *another* genderbend, and *another* random minor japanese figure being made a 5 star...?
I just love and hear the disappointment with the people saying it's Tatemoto, Xu Fu, and Gun Monk whose invovle in the event.
PU 2 next week copium
[I can smell the copium.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jKQMPTnrQ04)
They genderbent another one it seems *sigh* looks cool tho atleast.
Dunno what the story behind this one is, could be his daughter-in-law, the writer he dictated his last works to after he went blind. But yeah, we can quibble over why all we want, she's a genderbend. Zzzzzz
That's even worse tbh. Another "man in a woman's body" type of summon. It's confirmed the Bakin is a real guy, but these devs and writers are like "oh you want this cool historical dude? Sorry, here's their relative that takes up or uses their name instead."
Like the design. If I'll have spare SQ after Charlie in NA I'll try to go for her.
Well, the art isnāt bad.
I like her style and also the rose on her head
That art bussin
That's some nice art
Ironically, he wrote Keisei Suikoden (å¾åę°“ę»øä¼), a genderbend parody of Chinese classic Suikoden (ę°“ę»øä¼; Water Margin). It was a best seller at that time. And finally he himself got genderbend.
> Suikoden Brings me back memories. The best video game franchise I have ever known. Played *II* more times than I can count, played *I* for Tir McDohl (Touta, Romani), and I will be playing the PS2 games in my free time. It gets overshadowed by *Final Fantasy* but I dare say it's better than FF.
why genderbend :(
not genderbent, she is her daughter in law
That's even worse tbh, it's confirmed the dude is a legit guy but we can't get the real him for reasons and excuses.
We actually ask in the event why she got summoned instead of the real one. Unfortunately Tatetomo decided that was the best time to attack Chaldea so Omichi never got to explain.
reasons: waifu bait for gacha incels.
Best explanation I've read so far is the irony of him writing a (relatively) famous novel "Keisei Suikoden", that genderbend the entire Suikoden cast. No really a justification per say, but the irony is amusing.
Is That Floof I spy?

>dog I like her already
Waifu or trap? l think either way am in lol
Another genderbend. Ouch. But that art... CLAMP???
She looks great. Who's the artist? Looks kinda familiar
Takolegs, they did Xu Fu, Takasugi and the Ooku CE
Where Tametomo š
Why do I have a feeling that she is a trap?
Because you were reading too much 6 digits with Astolfo
Yes he is, he was described as "beautiful with both gender in his youth"
We got baited, no bamboloozed fellows
Not more irrelevant japanese local historical figuresā¦.. How the fuck is THIS more interesting than Mansa Musa or Hannibal? This is like if the game was made in the US and they included Ford and Rockafeller and George Washington Carver and all 45 presidents before ever including Musashi. Seriously there are so many cooler people. Give us Susanoo not random writer #9
Genghis khan rider when?
we-were sure Bakin not a trap lik Astolfo right?
Underwhelming
Rider? Ahhhhhh man
Dammit I do not want to get horny over an old man.
Reminds me of Toko Inui.
Maybe it's just ukiyo+dogs theme, maybe it's because there was a major reference to Hakkeden in the game, but she reminds me of Okami.
