Well, if we factor dialogue options, Fujimaru could also yell out an attack name for that skydive since in about the London and Camelot singularities they started adding option to make the MC potentially more chaotic

2024-08-28 03:24:31 +0000 UTCYeah as regard to rizz, although people like to joke about this side of Ritsuka, it did not play an important role in Babylonia or Camelot, except on Ereshkigal's part. At the same time, since nobody mentioned it, this episode is regarded as one of the worst anime adaptations of all TM works in a lot of Asian TM communities, if not THE worst. Fans were actually seriously upset after this episode was aired to the point they started to attack the scriptwriter (who also screwed up Camelot part 1 and some Boruto) online. Although the attack may not be justified, this single episode is horrific in every way except the fighting scenes. Here is why: 1. Quetzalcoatl, or Kuku's motive. In the anime and the game, Kuku is described repeatedly by Eresh, Ishtar and Merlin as the apex of a good god. Yet, seemingly this contradicts what she has told the protagonist. Therefore, identifying what Kuku really wants is a crucial part of this plot, and Ritsuka manages to do it. She is being considerate to hide things from us (spoilers). she captures humans not torturing them but keeping them inside Eridu because, under the context of human extinction, she will not place too much trust in Ritsuka and Chaldea before even meeting them. So, she decided to gather humans to protect them herself. But, she has the 3 goddess pact signed, so she has to do it under the excuse of actively 'killing humans' and bringing them back to Eridu. (This is very similar to Ereshkigal's plan) She never had any intentions against Gil or Ritsuka and will always side with humanity. 2. Ritsuka's skydive. Although Kuku is a kind god, her methodology is somewhat flawed and doesn't align with Ritsuka&Gil, which is humans should be able to strive on their own. Kuku protects humans under the condition that she is still the superior one, a goddess above humans, a parental love. Meanwhile, Ritsuka and Gil believe this is unnecessary and that humans should be in charge(this is also one of the main themes of FGO 1, that ALL humans are great). Kuku should be sided, her intentions are good but her methods are ill, so the only way for Ritsuka to convince her is to address the problem in her reasoning. Ritsuka wants to demonstrate that humans do not fear god and have the courage to actively challenge gods, and he/she does it by launching an attack as a fellow human to Kuku, who is a god, using the techniques she favours. This is merely a gesture to prove Ritsuka's point and Kuku instantly gets it. That's why she was impressed and softened down instantly. The only problem is Ishtar was stupid enough to throw Ritsuka from such a height. In the game, Ritsuka was actually cursing Ishtar in midair, only for Kuku to come in and save him/her. 3. Romani's line. Following the previous point, the whole of Babylonia is about humans actively separating themselves from gods/deities. As a temporary director of Chaldea, Romani also believes in Ritsuka's agency and ability to solve problems themself. He, out of all people, will not and did not say things like 'You should listen to me'. This line actually goes against and destroys his entire characterisation and even the entire point of FGO Part 1. 4. Siduri's panic. After Gil's death, the anime showed Siduri running out in panic and fear to report to Ritsuka. This never happened in the game and should not happen. Again, following the point of separating from gods, the people in Uruk were incredibly tough including Siduri herself. However deeply sad, they still picked themselves up and carried on the usual business of defending Uruk shortly after Gil's death. The dramatic reaction from Siduri is such a bad adaptation that paints a terrible picture of the citizens of Uruk. So.. all in all, this episode just feels so off and single-handedly screwed up four important characters in 20 minutes. Hopefully, this provides some insights into what actually happened. Rizz is real but it is nowhere near the reason why things turned out this way. Ritsuka as a main protag is incredibly sharp and observant when it comes to dealing with other servants. He almost always succeeds in identifying others' true motivations and will actively seek change in a polite and friendly way if he finds others problematic. This could come off as Rizz (e.g. Kuku's case) or harsh (e.g. Eresh's case) but it actually wins him respect.
