Is this cartoonist mentally ill?.

Chapter 442: The sissy public opinion storm
The launch of "Fate Zero" and the initial emergence of its world view and settings have also attracted heated discussions among many netizens online.

"This new anime is full of the style of Aoyama the old thief!"

"At first I thought the Holy Grail War was like that movie 'Kamen Rider Ryuki', but I didn't expect... that Tokiomi could team up with another Master?"

"And it's all a shady deal. Not only did Tokiomi form an alliance with Kotomine Kirei, whom he knew, in advance, he also cooperated with the Church, the supervisor of the Holy Grail War. Isn't this collusion with the referee?"

"It's really dark, this Tokiomi is definitely the biggest villain!"

"I don't really care about this. I'm more concerned about the setting of Heroic Spirits. They are divided into seven classes? What does this mean?"

"C Station has a setting description. The class is determined by its characteristics, and the Heroic Spirit is summoned to the corresponding class. You can think of it as a classification of characters in the game."

"Swordsman, Archer, Lancer, Cavalry, Magician, Assassin, Berserker... Wow, it really looks like the classification of game characters."

"The requirements for swordsmen are that the Heroic Spirit that meets the requirements must have a legend that matches that of a swordsman, and all of their ability values ​​except magic must be at the highest level. They must also have the class skills [Magic Resistance] and [Mount]. In addition, most Heroic Spirits that meet the requirements have the specialty of excellent instantaneous attacks."

"The requirements for archers and spearmen are similar to this, that is, a Heroic Spirit who is a legend with long-range weapons such as bows and arrows, and a Heroic Spirit who is a legend with spears. However, the archer's class skill is not only the [Magic Resistance] of a knight, but also the class skill of [Act Alone], and the [Noble Phantasm] is very powerful.

Lancers have excellent overall ability values, and their agility must be high. They also have the [Magic Resistance] class skill of a knight. "

"The cavalry is a legendary hero who has a connection with mounts and is suitable for this class. In addition to [Magic Resistance], the class skill also has a very high level [Mount]."

"A magician is a Heroic Spirit whose only ability value in magic has reached the highest level. The class skills are [Item Creation] and [Field Construction]."

"Assassins are of course those famous assassins in history who can be summoned as Heroic Spirits and have [Breath Blocking] as a class skill."

"A Berserker is a Berserker. The setting says that heroes who have gone mad in battle are suitable for this rank, so being able to unleash the power of the original Heroic Spirit is the ideal state. However, 'Frenzy' will deprive the Heroic Spirit of its rationality in exchange for strengthening the Heroic Spirit beyond its power."

"It's more like a game, with melee and ranged mages and physical warriors directly separated."

……

These settings of "Fate Zero" are nothing new. After all, it is the 21st century, the Internet and games have become very popular, and have spawned a variety of settings.

Therefore, it is easy for everyone to understand the Heroic Spirit classes in the Holy Grail War.

But what they care about more is... the heroic spirits that appear in "Fate Zero"!
"There really is one of the heroes here, Zhao Yun! Isn't Zhao Yun invincible when he appears on the scene?"

"Nonsense, Zhao Yun is the only one who fits this description of being brave."

"Lancer Zhao Yun... is indeed a perfect match. Although Zhao Yun has the Qinggang Sword, it is still not as well-known as his Longdan Bright Silver Spear."

"After all, he is the apprentice of Tong Yuan, the spear prodigy of the Three Kingdoms, and the junior brother of Zhang Xiu, the spear king of the North. It is normal that he is better at spearmanship than swordsmanship."

"And Alexander the Great... Um, is Alexander the Great's real name Iskandar?"

"Alexander the Great was actually a cavalryman? I only know that he conquered Greece, the Persian Empire, and Egypt, and created a great empire spanning Asia, Africa, and Europe."

"It seems that there is a legend that he is the illegitimate son of Zeus, and one of his mounts is his brother. According to the legend, when Zeus seduced Europa, he transformed into a strong bull, and the son he gave birth to was given to Alexander the Great."

"It's you again! Greek pig's hoof, super stud!"

"Then only cavalry is suitable. However, it seems that the sword and spear classes are a bit excessive. After all, there were many people who used swords and spears in ancient wars."

"To be honest, I still think that Zhao Yun may not be a match for Alexander the Great."

"You're kidding, Zhao Yun can't beat Alexander the Great?"

"It mainly depends on the setting. Zhao Yun is just an ordinary person. The Noble Phantasm is sublimated from the legend or weapon of the Heroic Spirit itself, so it is quite friendly to Heroic Spirits with high achievements and myths and legends."

"So... it's bad. We are indeed not as good as those guys in Europe in bragging."

"I'm going to bring up the ancestors Yan and Huang, the Three Pure Ones, Jiang Taigong, The Investiture of the Gods, and the First Emperor."

"Summon Taishang Laojun, who else can fight on the other side?"

"Don't be too ridiculous. If you say that, the other party can also bring out characters from their own mythology."

"But our Laozi Li Er is indeed a real person."

"The other side can also say that Jesus, the Son of God, is real."

"In that case, I have to call out Hong Xiuquan, the second son of God."

"Hahahaha Hong Xiuquan, brother, don't take it too seriously."

"Speaking of which, what are these other heroic spirits?"

"Hero King Gilgamesh, the king of ancient Uruk, is the protagonist of the world's oldest known heroic epic, the ancient literature "The Epic of Gilgamesh". He is described as the son of the goddess Ninsun, a half-human, half-god king."

"Isn't this going to be more awesome than Alexander the Great?"

"In terms of achievements, they are still incomparable. Alexander the Great is one of the most powerful rulers in world history, second only to Genghis Khan, Caesar, and Qin Shi Huang. It depends on the actual achievements and legends in the animation to see who is more powerful."

"But the archer class... Isn't Guan Yu a horse archer? He can be considered an archer, right?"

"It depends on how they summon. It seems that they prioritize the corresponding class of the most famous legend of the Heroic Spirit, but if the class is occupied, it will be squeezed out of other classes."

"The assassin class... is Hassan? Hmm? The 19th generation Hassan Sabbah, what is this?"

"As mentioned before, it is a sect in ancient Islam that believes in terror. In European culture, the word 'assassin' was given its name."

"The assassin class... I don't even dare to imagine how powerful Nie Zheng, Jing Ke, Yao Li, and Zhuan Zhu would be if I summoned them."

"Trivia: The only one of the four assassins who succeeded was Zhuan Zhu."

"Zhuan Zhu's main job was actually a cook. He was able to get close to King Liao of Wu because he was good at cooking fish, which led to his successful assassination."

"It mainly depends on the legendary bonus. The four great assassins are too well-known, especially Jing Ke, who assassinated Qin Shi Huang. If Jing Ke is really summoned, he should be ridiculously powerful."

"The Berserker is this Lancelot... Um, what is this Knights of the Round Table of Ancient Great Britain?"

"It's a legend in Great Britain. It's King Arthur who founded the Knights of the Round Table. King Arthur is... just like our ancestors Yan and Huang. People in Great Britain now call King Arthur their ancestor."

"Aren't the people of Great Britain today Anglo-Saxons? Ancient Britain should be Celtic, right? King Arthur is from Celtic mythology, so of course he is also Celtic!"

"That's true, but the Irish are descendants of the Celts, so you can understand why Northern Ireland is disgusted with modern Britain ()"

"But then again...this King Arthur is a woman?"

"What is a female? King Arthur must be a male, but he has sons."

"But why does the setting on Station C say that the Knight King who founded the Council of the Knights of the Round Table of Ancient Great Britain... is a woman?"

"Ah? The real setting is a female?"

"Really? If you don't believe me, go and see for yourself!"

……

Soon, many people discovered that... the sword-class heroic spirit in "Fate Zero", the legendary King Arthur of ancient Great Britain, was actually set as a female!

They all found it incredible at once.

After all, there are a large number of citizens in the Republic, even though the legend of the Knights of the Round Table in Britain was not very famous in the Republic before.

But there are always some people who have unpopular hobbies, some who have known about it, or some who have been to Britain as expatriates. With the help of Baidu search and the popularization of netizens who know the legend of the Knights of the Round Table in Britain, everyone soon understood what was going on.

King Arthur is definitely a man in legend.

But "Fate Zero" feminized this legendary king of ancient Britain!
This could turn into a major public opinion event if we are not careful!

But Lin Qingshan was not panicked at all.

In his previous life, Mushroom created the character of King Arthur, a feminized version of King Arthur, but there was no big public outcry about it.

Could it be that if he were to move to a world where the Republic is even more powerful, he would be subjected to even more explosive public opinion attacks?

But although Lin Qingshan is as steady as an old dog, his fans are not at all reassured.

After all, after they learned more about it, they realized that King Arthur's status in ancient Britain was probably equivalent to that of the Yellow Emperor of their republic!
If they knew that their ancestor, who was definitely male in the legend, was feminized and turned into a female...

that……

Eh?
It seems acceptable...

But it is still worrying. After all, they can accept it. The culture of the Republic is relatively tolerant, so it is normal for them to accept it.

But...will foreigners be so tolerant?

However, Great Britain said...

Tolerance? We can even tolerate the LGBT community here, can you do that in your Republic?
So when it comes to tolerance, the Republic is nothing!

Soon, with the broadcast of "Fate Zero", public opinion gradually spread back to the British Internet from British students studying in the Republic and from the Republic students studying in Britain.

But the ideas that reached Britain from both sides were different.

British students studying in the Republic find this very interesting, especially being able to see the myths and legends of their own country in the Republic's comics.

It is probably the same as when Lin Qingshan, in his previous life, Chinese people saw historical figures of the Republic appearing in Japanese comics.

Unless it is obviously vilified, excitement is mostly the main focus.

And in "Fate Zero"... needless to say, the character setting of Sarcastic is as positive as it can be.

The C station setting collection also directly states that Altria is in the protagonist camp.

So for now, the people of Britain are just excited and curious about this. As for the setting of feminization...

They said...why couldn't King Arthur be a woman!
"Maybe King Arthur was a woman in history, so he has no real descendants?"

"That's right! Mordred is just King Arthur's nephew. Although the legend says he is a bastard, is there any real evidence?"

"Perhaps King Arthur treated his nephew Mordred as his own son. In fact, according to our ancient nephew-uncle system, a nephew like Mordred is very likely to become King Arthur's heir."

"I think that's it! How come King Arthur isn't a woman? I think this setting is great!"

"How can you assume King Arthur's gender!"

"Fate Zero? Is it a work written by the same comic book author who created Edgewalker and Chainsaw Man? Oh, Jesus Christ, I really want to read it!"

“Qingshan’s works are really beautiful. My favorite is Parasyte. He is right. Humans are the parasites of the earth!”

"This cartoonist's works always have some unique and different insights. I think the setting that King Arthur is a woman is also very good."

"That's right, and our King Arthur was a positive character in the anime "Fate Zero", so this is not a smear on King Arthur at all!"

……

Of course, there are also some opposing voices.

"King Arthur is a woman? Oh Jesus Christ, you might as well say that the Holy Lord is also a woman."

"This is ridiculous. The Republic is distorting our history! This is intolerable!"

"I certainly cannot tolerate this... This is a serious diplomatic incident!"

"I want to protest to the Embassy of the Republic! This is absolutely distorting our country's history! It's an insult to us!"

……

But these voices are very small, after all, the spirit of freedom prevails in Europe.

These very few traditional voices are destined to be drowned out by the democratic liberals led by the LGBT community.

Even their complaints to the embassy only received a polite and formulaic response, and nothing else.

"Fate Zero" has attracted a lot of attention because of this, and some passers-by have been attracted by this public opinion storm.

In the continued plot of "Fate Zero", the feminized King Arthur Altria did not appear in any blackened place.

On the contrary, she showed integrity, remorse, kindness, and strength, which made people fall in love with this character deeply.

The popularity of King Dai Mao also appeared for the first time, but...

In terms of popularity, she is completely inferior to the most popular Zhao Yun.

As expected, Zhao Yun, as a popular figure in ancient times of the Republic, enjoyed extremely high popularity from the beginning!
And the personality he displayed was also very likable.

The reason he responded to the call to participate in the Holy Grail War was simply—

"During my lifetime, I did not fight for Ji Han and my lord in the Northern Expedition to the Central Plains and kill all the enemies. In the end, I could only die on my sickbed with hatred in my heart."

The white knight knelt on one knee in front of Kenneth and whispered, "So this time I responded to the call of the Holy Grail and appeared before Lord Kenneth, just to be loyal to my lord and kill the enemy to achieve the final victory."

"Is that so... Zhao Yun."

However, Kenneth frowned and said, "But your strength is too weak..."

He was helpless as he had never expected that his holy relics would be stolen by thieves from nowhere.

Originally, he wanted to summon the half-human, half-god conqueror Alexander the Great.

But now that the relic has been stolen, he can only use an old gun head of the Republic to summon the heroic spirits of the native people of the Republic.

With the help of his local fame, Zhao Yun's strength is quite good, but he is still far behind the conqueror Alexander the Great.

When the audience in the Republic saw Kenneth's disdain for Zhao Yun, they were immediately angry.

"Bullshit! How is my brother Yun inferior to the King of Conquerors?"

"It's really unworthy... Why did Zhao Yun follow this foreigner? It's outrageous."

"Zhao Yun is so loyal, but it's a pity that he followed the wrong person."

"Why... Kiritsugu, a Republic man, summoned the Heroic Spirit of Europe, while Kayneth summoned the Heroic Spirit of the Republic? Can't they just switch it up?"
