/jp/ - Otaku Culture

Cu is a Celtic hero, not a Norse one, those two cultures have absolutely nothing to do with each other. You may think the Vikings invaded Ireland but the ocean is not the only thing separating them, they're separated by +500 years chronologically as well, with Vikings coming after Cu's myths.
With the objectively wrong thing out of the way... Do I really have to explain what's wrong with Heracles and Gilgamesh? Herc gets 1 good scene in the entire VN (the one where he saves Illya in the forest), most of the time he exists to be a groaning moving wall, a midboss to be overcome. His Skills and NP don't really have anything to do with his legend besides "he did 12 great things" (vague) so he revives 12 times. Heracles' myth is so rich he has dozens of escapades and none are brought up. He also has zero personality in 90% of scenes he appears in. Meanwhile Gilgamesh is a cartoon villain that got fixed later. Barely anyone liked him before Zero and CCC, now he's the 2nd face of the franchise.
Invisible Air is just a pointless addition not based on any mythology or history so I personally don't like it. No one would even know what Excalibur looks like besides the KotR, since it was returned to the Lady of the Lake. There's no need to make it invisible.

How am I a troll? Wanting Heracles to get fixed with an Archer version has been a thing for the last decade. Heracles was wronged in FSN. I know he lost his sanity, but that lasted for like 5 minutes because Hera fucked with him. He immediately returned to his senses and regret everything. Compulsive backstabber Lu Bu and guilt-driven oathbreaker Lancelot make for much more interesting Berserkers, both for the fitting the class and their respective legends better, and both are allowed to show more of their legends and shine more in the story as Berserkers than Heracles.

Well, Zero and Extra are not without their problems either. Gilles has a random Lovecraftian spellbook and Tamamo is connected to Amaterasu because of a super obscure reason.
