Actually, you know what, Kenshin even stabs Takeda here (not pictured) so that's all the connection I need.

close enough

Wait I remembered this wrong. CLAUDINE was Kenshin the untouchable genius and MAYA was Takeda the talented tactician who only ever lost to Kenshin. Oh that's an interesting theme switch...

Fr. I can see the parallels between MayaKuro and TsubaMari too, though MayaKuro fit the Uesugi Kenshin & Takeda Shingen rivalry dichotomy* so well that I can finally see why the two were cast for those roles.

*The FGO versions of Kenshin and Takeda at least. The similarities gave me hella whiplash

Shinpachi though? The random cool dude who shows up to save some civilians and instantly joins forces with Guda? That's EASILY Hibiki.

"But he's so bloodthirsty" ok but hear me out. He's cool, just like Hibiki. And I love my buff old men ✌️

I've wracked my brain many-a-times to connect the dots on how Maria could be Takeda but nope he's a lot snappier with Kagetora than Maria is with Tsubasa. And uh high key he's way more reliable and NOT a loser compared to my pinky...

If anything, I keep thinking of Claudine and Maya instead.

Hell yeah! 8k is amazing! You got this 💪

NOT YOU TOO

LMFAO the Nana Mizuki Servant has a motorcycle too 🤣

Reading the word "theyfab" and "gacha game character" in the same sentence took me OUT give me some of that coffee

Maybe I'm toxic, but when I hear a conservative woman saying men can compartmentalize, I think that's what they tell themselves when their husbands cheat on them
