Fate/strange Fake v2 spoilers are showing up already (it is supposed to be released the Saturday). It seems that Narita is really having lots of fun with this.
Here is the preview:
http://dengekibunko.dengeki.com/books/1505fatestrangefake2/?page=1
>>125001362
Beautiful Assassin's stats.
Her personal skill is Zealotry A and her Presence Concealment is A-. Her NP is Zabaniya: Illusion Pedigree, it lets her copy the other 18 Zabaniya and those are stronger or weaker than the original ones on a case by case basis.
>>125001465
Why is she so cute?
I'm not going to read it yet. I'm glad it's coming out soon.
>>125001465
And now the actual spoilers.
There are more Servants in the party, those are the True Servants (opposite to the Fake Servants) and they seem to be part of the same team, probably with the US organization.
First is the True Assassin, a new Hassan with Faldeus as his Master. He is a Hassan with Presence Concealment EX (drops to Rank A+ when he starts attacking) and a skill that lets him to become one with the shadows. All his stats and NP are blurry due to that.
>>125001616
Then there is the True Archer, a Servant who knows Gilgamesh and is to counter a 360 degree Gate of Babylon.
There is also a True Rider but not enough information yet.
>>125001726
>and is to
and is able to
This is the most interesting thing that has happened to this series in a long time. How many volumes can we expect?
>>125001772
Narita said that he will need more than 5 volumes.
>>125001616
>All his stats and NP are blurry due to that.
If I understand correctly this status page without context it seems to be due to Faldeus doing something.
>>125001616
>>125001726
Hold on a fucking second, there are even more Servants running around? The hell is going on?
>>125002048
Narita liked Apocrypha and now there is a whole new set of "True" Servants to destroy the fake ones.
>>125001616
>>125001726
Is Ayaka behind this?
>>125002101
Gil vs Enkidu vs the world, huh. This shit's going to be awesome.
>>125002122
And while everybody is fighting the world's craziest Grailbowl, Flat and Jackserker will be eating ice cream on a park bench somewhere.
>>125002121
Probably not given that the Assassin's Master is Faldeus. That stinks to the US.
And probably the psycho loli that knew everything in v1 is the one pulling the strings.
>>125001465
So she effectively has 18 NPs. Neat.
>create a shitty knockoff grail
>it spews out a bunch of unusual servants that are absurdly powerful compared to the norm
>now it's spewing out twice as many
Everything went better than expected?
>>125002186
>the psycho loli
You mean the DA guy? Aren't they the same person?
>>125002224
No, the one who was talking with Police Chief.
We don't know if that idea of Jester real identity being a child is still a thing with so many new stuff.
>>125002223
Well, since Apocrypha made up that Great Grail reserve system it was too good to let it pass.
The Bootleg War is getting more and more hilarious. Not only can you summon fucking anything, even shit that rightly shouldn't exist in the Throne of Heroes, and Servant classes not included in the system are somehow being summoned, but now a bunch of fuckers found a backdoor into the system and are fighting a war against the broken war fighting against itself.
This shit is fucked. Ruler when?
Thank you, OP.
>>125001465
I want more fanart of her.
I hope this stuff will sell well.
>>125001362
What are those red things in his hair?
>>125002332
Well, mastermind loli was actually hoping to Jeanne to show up as a Ruler just to see her in absolute despair.
>>125002101
Does this mean we get a 7v6+1d5 (with the saber clutersfuck) party?
>>125002169
I'm pretty sure that Flat will end killing a strong Servant just by accident or something.
>>125002048
This is Narita.
Did you thought there wouldn't be tons of characters?
>>125001726
>True Archer, a Servant who knows Gilgamesh
This should be another Sumerian. I wonder if it's Aga. There is a Gilgamesh side-story in which they fought against each other. See
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aga_of_Kish
Here is the full translation:
http://etcsl.orinst.ox.ac.uk/section1/tr1811.htm
Or maybe it's his father, Enmebaragesi.
Another, less known, option would be Enmerkar, an older Uruk ruler born before Gilgamesh. There is a non-canon myth in which somebody foretold the birth of Gil and the seizing of the throne by him which led Enmerkar to a killing attempt of Gil (he imprisoned his mother and threw him from a tower), but he was saved by an eagle or something IIRC.
Anyway, this sounds awesome and this guy seems to look like an actual guy from Mesopotamia.
>>125002551
I say it's Utnapishtim.
>>125002415
Assassin working with anyone seems highly unlikely. Remove heretics.
Rider and the loli are a pretty unique situation, don't really know how capable they are of cooperation.
Casta no Masta working with actually good people seems pretty unlikely.
Flat, Tine, the Chimera, and Ayaka have cooperation potential, but Tine at the very least is highly dependent on Gil's willingness.
>>125002574
I was surprised to see that Beautiful Assassin is Lawful Good.
>>125002569
This could be as well.
Holy shit, Proto-Noah would be awesome. Whoever it will be, I think I'll be pretty happy about it.
The only problem would be that he is immortal. So they would have summoned a living hero as servant.
>>125002641
Strange Fake realy made clear that it doesn't give a fuck about rules
>>125002411
https://reiutranslations.wordpress.com/2015/01/09/fatestrange-fake-excerpt/
Why is Narita so amazing?
>Gil's face when True Archer inevitably calls him a "Fake"
>>125002731
It'll be hillarious
>>125001465
>NP is Zabaniya: Illusion Pedigree
Wait what? She has no Zabaniya of her own.
>>125002793
That's how Narita avoids writing down 18 different Zabaniyas
Fate keeps getting more and more retarded
It should have never been more than a VN
Till now F/SF was my favorite Fate story regarding the servants it features. So have kinda high hopes for the upcoming seven servants.
>>125002831
>Fate keeps getting more and more retarded
Care to explain how?
>>125002861
Just look at all this spinoff shit
>>125002411
SF is approaching loli overload.
>>125002793
It's a Zabaniya that is basically "I have all the other ones."
I sorta forgot Strange/fake amidst all those spin-off like Fate/apocrypha, Extra, the release of the Hollow/ataraxia translation. Protype, etc..
I read the first chapter of the manga adaptation last week but that's all. Is there a translation of Fate/strange Fake actually going on? or a rough summaries lost in the archive or somewhere else?
I guess Strange fake must get a lot of potiential since it's Narita who's doing it and it's the best novel author who come to my mind when it come to hanlde multiple protagonists. A really good fit for the Fate setting.

>>125002872
But this is awesome. And being by Narita makes it even better.
>>125002899
There is the original mini-novel, that it was translated years ago.
>>125002899
The one-shot light novel's translated.
>>125002899
>Is there a translation of Fate/strange Fake actually going on?
Read the old novel (1 volume). The new one starts more or less the same way as the old one did. We have to wait for new translations.

First Volume was basicaly the old April's fool.
I don't think anyone bothered to translate the updated version.
>>125001465
>>125001616
It would be fun if this True Assassin is the very first Hassan or something like that. There is a lot of potential with both clashing.
>>125001465
Can she use several of them at the same time? Poisonous skin + Zabaniya of this guy >>125001616 seems pretty OP.
>>125003010
Thanks, Time to catch up and join the fun.
>>125003319
The thing is, the whole True Assassin's shadow thing is not even a Zabaniya, is his personal skill.
>>125001726
>Gilgamesh is a fake
Oh boy, can't wait to see his reaction.
>>125003694
Every Servant is just a copy, anyway. It never bothered him before.
>>125001726
>True Rider
What if he's Qin Shi Huang?And he'll be instagibbed by Pestilence.
>>125003929
That is what happened in the original right? Tsubaki parents wanted to summon Qin Shi Huang.
>>125002344
There are even fanarts on her?
>>125003986
>>125001726
Fucking NAILS.
>>125004365
>killing his son and his wife
>just because
What.
>>125004253
This guy is seriously the most pathetic Master ever.
>>125004473
He did it because they were failures and he was actually hoping to get higher in rank and get a better wife later once he won the war.
He was a douchebag.
>>125003010
Why is the prologue password protected, when the others are not?
>>125004501
What about first Master of loli-Jack?
>>125004594
Not sure.
>Password: reiutranslations
>>125004626
Oh, that Sagara guy? Yeah, they are more or less on the same boat. Still, at least that guy was killed by a Servant.
>>125004556
Is that the key of Babylon?
>>125002569
That could be incredibly broken. Instead of a treasury, he has an ark full of phantasmal beasts from before time began, in addition to immortality.
>>125004473
She was like the opposite of Toki's wife.
>>125003929
TrueRider supposed to be even stronger than TrueArcher so maybe he is older hero.
>>125004707
Yes. Brace for Gil's reaction to it.
>>125004711
Why not just make the text fit in the speech bubbles? This way looks a bit ugly.
>Narita
>No mafia yet
Disappointing
>>125002411
Who is this 2hu?

Welp.
>>125004818
>The throne is summoned as well
He's truly the best king.
>>125004634
Thanks anon.
>>125004827
Caster is gangsta enough on his own.
>>125004850
Fate really needs more Ancient Egypt heroes.
>>125004734
>he has an ark full of phantasmal beasts from before time began
Egyptian Gil already have something like that.
>>125004926
Wow, this guy is a complete dumbass. No wonder he gets killed so soon.

>One of the five Ayaka's servants is servant Al Capone.

In the trailer she appears saying that it is the time to get rid of the fakes.

>>125004771
>older than a goy who personally knew Gilgamesh, who might be Utnapishtim which would make him even fucking older
All I can think of is a God of some sort. Ishtar for riding thousands upon thousands of cocks or something, or the 'first human' or some other conceptual shit.
>>125005174
Why is she in a wedding dress(?)?.
>>125005179
It could be anything. Even a plague got summoned as a Servant.
>>125005264
Speaking of which how the fuck is anything bar Enkidu supposed to even touch that thing
It's the entire concept of a plague literally it can sic a brain tumor, heart attack, full paralysis etc onto an opponent for no reason other than why the fuck not.
I feel like the only way to end it would be to kill the bedridden girl in the hospital.
>>125005264
As a fake servant, the true servants should be more regular.
>>125005241
She wanted to look fancy for her meeting with the King of Heroes. I'm guessing the dress was the fanciest thing she could get her hands on.
Why is Gil so fun?
>>125005241
Tine has always worn a wedding dress, ever since the original concept.
>>125005179
It's just definitely not original chinese emperor.
>>125005336
Why do you think Enkidu is any better off? He's at a disadvantage against it.
>>125005011
Do we even know her name?
>>125005343
But this 'true servant' is supposedly older than gil of all servants. How the hell does that work?
Now I want to see Ishtar and Gilgamesh summoned, since apparently Utnapishtim might be archer and we know for certain that Enkidu is here.
>Gilgamesh and Enkidu bro-ing it up
>Utnapishtim being a lecturing old man and nagging
>Ishtar hiding behind the wall spying on Gilgamesh and silently tearing up because Gilgamesh doesn't love her.
>>125005377
Really?
Because Enkidu is clay, he cannot get sick. He's basically invulnerable because pestilence the rider is the plague upon humans, nothing else.
>>125005353
He isn't, at least in this chapter.
Just spamming
>Insolent
>Knave
>Mongrel
is stale, old, and boring.
But it's Narita, so his Gil will get much better, soon or later.
>>125005441
>Because Enkidu is clay, he cannot get sick. He's basically invulnerable because pestilence the rider is the plague upon humans, nothing else.
It is actually the other way around. As he died of a divine illness, he is really vulnerable to it.
>>125001362
Feitu/Strange Feiku
>>125005441
Enkidu is a beast, he is the one with nature and animals so he afraid of something like that. Even if his body made of clay he have animal instincts.
>>125005393
Of course not.
>>125005510
>>125005568
Oh. Ok, I didn't read that part yet, I kind of assumed Pestilence couldn't do shit to a pile of dirt.
Then how to fuck do you fight it? Will we just have to murder the loli in her bed?
>>125005580
Where are her pants?
>>125005603
I guess this Rider will be defeated in the dream world of this little girl. It's something like you should defeat Freddy Kruger in his world where he is vulnerable.
>>125005659
caren.jpg
>>125005703
Inb4 someone kills the loli, returning everyone to the real world
>>125005703
Well actually if the Archer truly is Utnapishtim he'd be completely invulnerable since he's immortal with a perfect body. That or if Rider is Ishtar or some other crap, Pestilence probably doesn't have domain over Gods.
Also
>inb4 Gilgamesh has medicines to literally everything because in the future humans will be free from disease
>>125005659
Why would some powerful bitch care about such trivial things?
Where is this on the Fate timeline?
>>125005441
Honestly I dont think that they older than Gil. They very strong and that's all what we know about them. TrueArcher is only one who have a link with Gil. TrueAssassin can be just a very cool assassin. TrueRider can be a very old hero but from different culture.
>>125005790
He doesn't even know what he has at his disposal. Well at least in his "older and dumber" form.
>>125005808
After the Fifth War. It probably happens doesn't matter the route because the US guys got their info to copy it during the Third War.
>>125005823
Ah okay.
Goddamnit I want Ishtar.
>>125005895
This form seems less dumb because Enki is here so he's going full-out.
>>125005808
>>125005909
The original novel implied that the Fuyuki Grail is no more at this point.
>>125005969
This got really gay suddenly.
>>125006068
Why?
>>125006068
>every bromance since 2000 are now gay.
>>125006068
It's even better how the very page when Enkidu notices is exactly the same but in reverse, so it is as if they are looking each other.
>>125006068
You just be jelly cause gil-sempai notice enki-chan instead of you.
>I AM A KING
>SUCK MY DICK
well, at least he is consistent about it.
>>125005823
And TrueArcher aslo can be from different culture. Karna knows about king of heroes so basically TrueArcher is old as shit and thats all about him. But I guess he hides his head for a reason so maybe they really familiar with each other.
>>125006305
He got nicer once he noticed Enkidu.
>>125006316
Karna probably got it quick because of Discernment of the Poor.
Kinda disappointed that the manga won't be out with the second novel, gotta wait till winter....
>>125006481
Act 2 soon?
Scanlated by http://scarletmoon.dasaku.net/?p=875
>>125006874
I was working on it by myself for fun so if that guy doesn't get it soon maybe I do.
>>125007069
Are you borrowing the dialogue from the novel or translating it on your own? Scarlet Moon is using the novel dialogue
>>125007310
I was using the novel one as a basis but changing around some stuff.
>>125002361
Strange hair.
Do we have any details if Saber is supposed to be the equivalent of "True Saber" or if Ayaka is keeping the five Servant thing from the original "concept"?
>>125008179
Not idea. We will probably know more about it the Saturday.
>>125001726
Hm, I bet he can somehow make the GoB unusable, so Gil will have to go find the key his ten second Master had to properly use it again. At the very least, that's the only thing I can imagine Gil's hidden NP to be. It's spaced in such a way that there can't be anything under it, so it must share the same description as GoB.
>>125005241
Because Gil was famous for raping women in their wedding day.
It helps with the summon, I guess.
I guess this is probably planned to go over five volumes if Narita is sticking with two Servant sheets per book.
>>125006068
>suddenly
Gil/Enkidu has been canon for centuries, anon.
>>125008643
Durarara!! was planned to go for 5 volumes.
It ended up being 13 and now there's a sequel with 3 volumes out and counting.
>>125001726
Humbaba maybe be
>>125008705
Nasu stuck him him being a beast of the gods in CCC, so probably not likely.
>>125008643
He already said that he will need more than five volumes.
>>125008751
Yeah, and Narita went full CCC with Gil and Enkidu in v1 already.
>>125001726
>a Servant who knows Gilgamesh and is to counter a 360 degree Gate of Babylon.
>Almost everyone is ready to try to kill Gil.
At this point an alternative title could be "Kill Gill".
>>125009484
Someone should shop this.
>>125009484
I see some of the Fake Servants allying to fight thr True Servants, really.
>>125009484
>Almost everyone is ready to try to kill Gil
I don't know. Narita loves Gil. I don't think is going to be easy to kill him.
He also loves Enkidu so I wouldn't put it past him to make Gil abandon the war and elope with Enkidu or something.
Also, he's got a record of always interrupting main fights,like the final fight between Shizuo and Izaya in Drrrx13.
>>125001726
I know its imposiible but its
fucking Herakles!
>>125009860
You think so?
>>125008179
He's Fake Saber because of his fake Excalibur. I'd say that True Saber is Roland or Sigurd.
>>125009938
yes
> He'd still be huuuge! However, the stuff like >the projections on his arms wouldn't be there. >His muscles would become a little softer, and >his face would show more humanity than it >does now
>>125009860
If he knows Gil, it has to be a hero/aberration from his era.
>>125009939
>Sigurd
Crap, I meant Sigmund.
>>125010370
Sigurd > Sigmund though
>>125005179
See the posts above, there are a bunch of humans or semi-humans who fit this description. It could be Ziusudra (Utnapisthim), Aga, Enmebaragesi, Enmerkar (who were all warriors) or somebody else mentioned it his legends (the epic, the Aga part or the birth legend) or another Uruk king, or maybe his father Lugalbanda (who reigned over Uruk as well though).
>>125006874
I hope he'll finish this. Thank you anon.
>>125001616
That skill is called "Shadow Lantern" (影灯籠)?
>>125006874

Probably:
>That being said, I’m about 80% done with Chapter 2, so you can expect it out before the weekend is here.

Thanks for letting us know.
>>125011141
Flatt is a cutie.
Has Nakulas said if he's picking this up at all?
>>125011752
No, fem-El-Melloi II is a cutie.
>>125010207
He can know him for many reasons. For example if this servants of american organisation what established this war then they already know everything about all fake servants.
>>125011141
>>125012185
That looks really well done, you are great at this.
>>125012184
"Know" as in knows him personally, not knows of him.
>>125012279
It's still a WIP, but >>125011111 will probably have it before I'm done. I just wanted to have a polished version so that's why I started doing it anyway.
>>125012185what fonts are you using?
>>125011819
Is his blog even active by now?
LN translations and manga chapter2+ translations where?
>>125013131
April 27 2007 - November 1 2008
That's how long it took Mirror Moon to translate F/SN, be glad people want to work on this.
>>125013471
Can you really compare translating a VN to translating an LN/manga?
>>125013131
It might be faster if you start learning a Japanese today.
>>125013471
Seeing the volume of text of F/SN. That's actually a good job.
>>125013471
That's fucking fast. Have you ever tried to wait for F/HA and canonrap's Apocrypha translations?
>>125013977
Mirror Moon themselves were surprised they managed to go for 5 years. Solid team, love them a lot.
They are still working on Melty Blood believe it or not.

Avicebron already made an Adam. Wherever it walked became an Eden, devoid of violence and suffering.

>Blow it up with an anti-fortress Nobel Phantasm.

Trap of Argalia was the most useful useless-sounding NP around. Who would expect "Makes them trip," to be good.
>>125010964
I wonder how it works.
>>125016096
Well they used two A+ NPs after that.
anyone got some nice gates of babylon webm/gif?
I don't know why but seeing new Servants and figuring them never gets old.
>>125019666
So, no Emiya nor Tohsaka in this version? dropped
>>125020027
Thank god there is no Shirou or Rin here. So tired of them.
>>125012467
Sorry for being late, but Wild Words, TrashHand, Felt and some others.
There is a picture with proper font that it's posted sometimes.
Assuming the no Saber applies to the True Servants as well and that Ayaka retains the five Servant thing, that's 17 Servants in total. 18 counting if Joan or another Ruler shows up. This is going to be a crazy series.
>>125020354
I don't know, they gave the cover to this Saber.
>>125020727
Yeah, I'm getting the impression that he'll be sticking around for a little while.
>>125020027
proto femshirou/tohsaka hybrid exists in this war
>>125020727
So far she hasn't been changed from the Player concept going from summaries (lived in Fuyuki, dealt with the Mr. A horror thing, got five Command Spells from an Einzbern-ish woman, and apparently heard a bunch of voices when contracting with Saber). If there will be like eight or ten volumes, that leaves plenty of time for Saber to do stuff and die/run out of time.
>>125004985
>>125005345
so literally the worst master in the entirety of Fate?
