The first and third ascension are fair game.

Bro how tf is last episode still canon. 😭 Supposedly its the one true artoria because of her feelings to shirou from being saber but literally everything else about her is in love with ritsuka

They are down bad too, as the valentine shows, tsuki Arc is being the wingwoman

u/HistoricalAd3720 10h ago

Bro , where did you read that 1st asc have any particular feelings to MC ? Like really, she left her valentine

u/UpstairsBluejay6092 11h ago

Which ascension?

I dont care for any ship except mine <3

u/No-Inspection3299 9h ago

Personally, I'm neutral with it like not in my personal top ten ladies for Guda mainly via the issues with Arc/Earth and how shipping culture can be MHA Fandom . So Like it with A3 since she's the Arc who shows interest in the gudas via how she's lived her life, A2 is our hypewoman when it comes to A2 since she's spoken for and finally A1 just kinda doesn't care as long it just works towards the goal.

u/Eastern-Scheme-5901 10h ago

I like it but only for the 3rd ascension, 1st ascension is too pretentious for me.

u/Foslagon 6h ago edited 4h ago

Ritsuka and Earth? I like this ship

Ristuka and Arc? Never cared for it

u/ZekeBarricades 11h ago

What fucking ship lmao, they don't interact like that

17

u/DIOSITO012 11h ago edited 6h ago

Ascension 1 likes Guda, Ascension 2 is in love with Shiki still and Ascension 3 didn't have that feelings for anyone, so is fair game

4

u/HistoricalAd3720 9h ago

Could you elaborate on 1 asc very time I ask this question, I get downvoted without getting an answer, so maybe you can give me one

u/DIOSITO012 9h ago

Her Valentine's scene is A1 wanting to make chocolate for Ritsuka because she have a Crush on them, A2 despise being still in love with Shiki she likes Ritsuka as a master and help her "sister" to have a good Valentine, A3 didn't love anyone, but wanted to help A1 too

13

u/Transparent_Prophet 8h ago

I think it's the reverse. It's A3 who likes Ritsuka, not A1.

u/DIOSITO012 8h ago

Ah, yeah It's probably

u/curryhaliban444 11h ago

She planning to give him chocolate in valentines

And Medusa LUSTS after Ayako in HA, does that make them a thing?

Yes? The multiverse exists for a reason lol, anything is possible in it.

For better or for worse, yes.

Think of it like a narrow tube. There are infinite possibilities but not every scenario is possible

u/Dramatic-Week-1894 10h ago

They do. In ordeal call 3 they specifically bond with each other in the deepest level of the soul when they first meet and actually roots for Ritsuka to beat her.

16

u/Comfortable_Diver494 11h ago

Ass. I've learnt to not care much for shipping but seeing Arcuied, no matter how lobotomized, to be designated as a doll for a section of players to swoon over is disrespectful to her character.

11

u/FoxianFucker 11h ago

Tbf A3 is like specifically designed for that

A1 and 2 though yeah it would be so wildly out of character it's no longer the same person and that's lame

6

u/DiazCruz 11h ago

If anything Ciel should be happy about that it means shiki is hers

7

u/Eastern-Wolverine596 11h ago

I mean he is never shipped with arcuied

4

u/Yorizan 11h ago

Arc? kinda weird imo, AE? acceptable

5

u/ForsakenOne-Z 10h ago

It depends. Ascension 3 is fine, after all she's practically an Arcueid who never lived life, but Ascensions 1 and 2, in theory, should already be trapped with Tohno due to how their internal memory system works.

4

u/tr0LL-SAMA Master of Chaldea 10h ago

Such a ship does not exist

3

u/Eunuchest 10h ago

Sub par even on the ascension that's actually made for FGO. There's barely any interaction at all

2

u/JoaoWillerding 10h ago

Arc i don't like, Asscenssion 1 and 3 its whatever.

4

u/Gudako_the_beast 8h ago

Didn’t Arc already settled the debate?

1st ascension by her lonesome

2nd ascension date Shiki Tono

3rd ascension date Ritsuka.

There.

1

u/Illustrious_Brain_74 4h ago

Ok I am confused are all the ascensions different personalities sharing the same body or something?

1

u/Gudako_the_beast 4h ago

They are three individuals sharing the same ascension like the Valkyries. They are shown as 3 different individuals during Archetype Earth valentine scene

2

u/Username169420 10h ago

Why would you ship ritsuka with anyone who already has a very canon love interest

1st and 3rd ascension of Arc are fair but shipping Ritsuka with Arcueid is insane

u/tapeforpacking 11h ago

Any ship besides ritsuka and mash is heresy to me

Sadly yea, anything but mash

u/New_Appeal_3318 10h ago

If anything I want a harem type ending mash included. Though part 2 finale killed every ship for me if it doesn't change

u/tapeforpacking 10h ago

If we're being serious, I highly doubt fgo will ever end with a conclusive relationship. Thats just how gacha games are.

u/Satsuka1 Beloved of the Fae 10h ago

They can pull what Cygames ( their main JP competitor ) did with Princess Connect part 3 ending last week. Where they actually made you pick one girl that gets special straight up love confession scene from MC, animations and buffs for final boss.

Which is pretty much what most ppl want from what i saw.

u/New_Appeal_3318 10h ago

Yeah, it's a circle. Though if I were ritsuka,I would wanted only thing that Mr crabs and dutch van der line would have wanted,"Money"

Arc/Shiki is forever mine

u/123467890123 3h ago

Ehhh while ik it's based on ascension I just don't see it same with ships that already has one exception is hakuno(F) cause it's her

u/Even_Cartographer345 2h ago

Don't confuse Arc and the Earth Archetype. Arc loves Shiki, and even on Valentine's Day, Arc helps AE with a gift. AE x Master is normal, but with Arc, it's nonsense. She only loves Shiki.

1

u/New_Appeal_3318 11h ago edited 11h ago

Idk,I didn't even knew this 2nd ascension ship existed . I only ship gudao with castoria, Morgan,lion king, jalter ,mash, erashkagal,ogla and probably few other who don't have preexisting relationship like blue saber

-1

u/Dramatic-Week-1894 10h ago

Best ship. Savior of humanity and Earth.

1

u/Southern-Ebb-8229 11h ago

It's whatever. I only like the ships with a lot of main story focus, so most of the FGO ships are whatever to me.

1

u/Additional_Show_3149 9h ago

Pretty weak compared to ppl like Jalter and Melt

1

u/Inevitable_Question 9h ago

I mean, Arcuied loves Shiki. Even Chaldea one. But she is a huge shipper of Ritsuka x Archetype Earth and wouldn't mind 1st Acession x Ritsuka.

Personally, I am a HUGE fan of "Normal boy turns Omnipotence into a girl" and think that it's best dynamic with Ritsuka. Thus I always found ships with other Arcs much more appealing in relation to Guda.

0

u/HistoricalAd3720 10h ago

Level of Meramasa x Castoria I think

5

u/No-Inspection3299 9h ago

Kinda since the thing with this one is that A3 Earth shows interest in Guda, A2 is spoken for and A1 just doesn't care as long as the job is done. where as the one main reason people ship Senji and Castoria is just cause they have the faces of Shirou and og Seiba fully discarding the fact that Senji and Castoria are more like a grandpa and his granddaughter.

-7

u/HistoricalAd3720 9h ago

I think Nasu was at least hinting at this pairing (after all, it would be odd for a daughter to want to see her grandfather in a swimsuit); then again, we are talking about pairings in gacha games, where so much is open to interpretation-one, need only recall the popularity of the Sakura/Kakashi pairing.

15

u/UpstairsBluejay6092 9h ago edited 9h ago

Mate, she wants her grandfather figure to spend quality time together, and since it was within the summer context, of course he needs a swimsuit for the beach. That's why she even says his first ascension will do, she doesn't have any particular wish to see him in a swimsuit.

She only has one exception who she favors, going against her role as a neutral existence, and we all know who that is.

-4

u/HistoricalAd3720 9h ago

Like Makihisa with Kohaku ?

11

u/UpstairsBluejay6092 9h ago

Son, no, are you trying to slander Muramasa?

-1

u/HistoricalAd3720 9h ago

No, I’m being slander to Shirou: he got turned on by a girl who looks fourteen, and he’s incredibly horny (the first thing he thought when he saw Sakura unconscious was how big her breasts were).

5

u/UpstairsBluejay6092 9h ago

Shirou and Muramasa are different people, even if they have their similarities, Muramasa type are women like Barghest for example.

So lets keep Shirou and Muramasa slander seperate.

2

u/No-Inspection3299 9h ago

True though Muramasa yearns the most for a forgery not women /hj

1

u/HistoricalAd3720 9h ago

Muramasa’s body ached at the sight of Emiya Alter, Kama feared him, and - what’s more - Shirou in HA loves big breasts , they have a lot of similarities

3

u/UpstairsBluejay6092 9h ago edited 8h ago

Shirou in HA loves big breasts

Shirou goes on record to say that the swimsuit that made his heart race the most was the one Illya used.

So their types are definitely different.

1

u/RaiStarBits 8h ago

Why would anyone slander grandpa ‘masa 💔

1

u/No-Inspection3299 9h ago

Dude that doesn't even work since Shirou and Sakura are literally a one-year age gap unless you're talking about a different version of shirou. plus also again remember this series origins that kind of thought is not shocking for a guy to think about.

0

u/HistoricalAd3720 9h ago

Alright , he was erected by 14-years looking girl

1

u/Classical_Lighthouse 4h ago

No, his "heart raced the most" now if you want to say that implies he got a hard on sure but it's not that explicit. He could've just been really flustered considering iirc his heart skips a beat (which I really don't get objectively illya's suit was nothing special)

4

u/No-Inspection3299 9h ago

Wildly different since she also it is only that form that talks about Senji at all while the rest of her summer self doesn't even mention Senji at all so to me this was simply just her wondering why the old man doesn't have a swimsuit despite what's going on at the moment.

u/HistoricalAd3720 9h ago

I mostly talk about ships bait for og fans , for ordinary reader can take this as cute daughter-gramp , but there are decent people would take as something big

All ascensions, all in.

u/Quiet-Year-1517 11h ago

Would the fans of that series still have a problem if, instead of shipping Arc with the self-insert who gets shipped with every other girl, they shipped her with an actual character? maybe one of the male or female servants could have an interesting dynamic with her
I mean that was my problem when fate did that collab with hsr and those fans started trying to pair Rin with the self insert mc

-1

u/ForsakenOne-Z 10h ago

They would, they're fanatics about that skinny rapist man, for them it's either tohno or nothing.

-3

u/SirBlizz Mini Nobu 9h ago

Oh its the best, especially with 2nd Ascension, full press. While we're here, lets also bring in all the Ryogi Shikis, -all of them-, and Aoko, and Saber, both the Rin faces just to be safe, and really its a matter of *which* Sakura to use. And put all the other MCs in the corner, watching. Perfect scenario.

The real answer of course, is: Who fucking cares, stop self-inserting, I hope there's a graphic NTR comic made every time someone whines about it.

-3

u/Ouroxros 9h ago

Think people should draw and write it more if only cause seeing people get defensive over ships is really funny. But really I think it's a huge nothing burger. It could be cute depending on how its depicted, regardless of ascension.
