Tohsaka Rin: "Moriarty? Is that the Professor Moriarty from Sherlock Holmes?"
Kayneth: "I didn't expect even such a dangerous person could become a Heroic Spirit."
Waver: "You really can't tell just by looking at him."
Chihiro: "A real villain never writes 'I am a bad guy' on their face."
Tohsaka Tokiomi: "Yes, that's very true. I understand that very well."
S...
In Saitama City, the neon lights glittered against the night sky. In the square in front of an apartment complex, a vibrant fountain shot high into the air, scattering sparkling droplets like a rain of flowers.
The water in the pool shimmered and swirled, shifting colors sometimes blue, sometimes red, and occasionally dazzling with a mix of hues. Passersby stopped to admire the display, ...
"Target locked. Eliminate."
The lead combat robot, armed with two sharp green spears, roared to life, its tracks spinning at high speed as it lunged toward Kaminari with alarming velocity. The other two robots flanked from the left and right, moving to encircle him.
"So fast!"
Kaminari's eyes widened as he tracked the incoming machine. It closed the distance almost instantl...
The Ryugu Palace on Fish-Man Island was vast and magnificent, rivaling even the opulence of Claudius' own palace.
Although Fish-Man Island was somewhat isolated from the rest of the world, it was clear they were far from destitute. In fact, the grandeur of the palace showcased the island's wealth and affluence.
Claudius, alongside his entourage, followed King Neptune into the pala...
The Prometheus docked smoothly at Coral Hill, and the ship's gangway extended automatically, connecting the deck to the stable ground of the port.
Though Fish-Man Island was located 10,000 meters below the surface of the sea, it wasn't entirely submerged in water. Enclosed within a massive protective bubble, much of the island resembled dry land. Of course, places like Ryugu Palace remai...
"I knew you'd take the bait!"
On the other end of the phone, Gojo's cheerful voice echoed with satisfaction as soon as Ryuji agreed to help.
"ā¦"
Ryuji rolled his eyes, letting out a soft sigh.
For the record, he wasn't doing this because of Maki or Nobara, but because of the special-grade curse spirit that had likely trapped them.
Still, there was no point i...
Ryuji's life hadn't changed much, despite his ever-growing strength.
Though his power far exceeded that of most sorcerers, he continued to go to school like a normal student.
It wasn't because he needed to or because of some deep commitment to education. It was simply because with his level of strength, everything else had become far too easy. Without school, Ryuji wasn't sure how...
Orochimaru's Ten Thousand Swords Formationāa combination of Magnetic Release and Shuriken Shadow Clone Jutsu was a visually spectacular attack.
By applying the principle of shuriken shadow cloning to his Kusanagi sword, he was able to create multiple copies and control them with Magnetic Release, launching a large-scale offensive. But in truth, it was inefficient and impractical.
Danzo unconditionally supported Orochimaru's research.
After all, Orochimaru was creating talents for him, an invaluable asset to his ambitions. Danzo had no reason to object.
Moreover, the First Hokage's cells might have been a closely guarded secret to others, but to Orochimaru, it was hardly classified information. For that reason, Danzo didn't hesitate to bring him to see the ...
The 2007-08 Serie A season finally came to an end.
Some celebrated, while others mourned.
Napoli, as a newly-promoted team, miraculously claimed the Serie A title and became a global sensation.
With this victory, head coach Gao Shen once again entered the spotlight of football fans around the world.
UEFA published a special report, emphasizing that Gao Shen had used ...
The day after the Milan derby, news of Napoli securing the Serie A title two rounds ahead of schedule spread across Italy and Europe like wildfire.
Gao Shen and his Napoli had achieved the impossible: winning the Serie A championship as a newly-promoted team.
The news resonated not only in Europe but also worldwide, with countless media outlets marveling at the incredible feats ac...
Flame Incantation, Fire's Warm Embrace, Purifying Flame Ritual, True Fire of Samadhi, Demon Flame Molten Gold, Meteor Blaze, Purgatory Sea of Flames.
These were all techniques I was intimately familiar with in my lifetime.
Hmm? Spirit Blood Curse, Setting the Sky Aflame?
Aren't these supposed to be a combination of spells? At the very least, they should fall under the categ...
[In this quiz, Chihiro ranked first with the highest winning rate, followed by Hassan of the Hundred Faces, Zhang Jiao, and Sigurd. Waver, Artoria, Iskandar, Irisviel, Red Hare, El-Melloi II, Kayneth, and the First Emperor tied for third place. They were rewarded with one gold, one silver, and one bronze treasure chest respectively.]
[Next, we will calculate the scores for the overall qu...
"Thisā¦ this isā¦"
Tetsutetsu stared wide-eyed at the transformation happening before him. The Robe had changed into something entirely new, leaving him at a complete loss for words.
"It's incredible," he whispered, awestruck.
Buntais' expression was one of pride and satisfaction. His eyes gleamed as he looked at Kaminari, who was still frozen in place.
"Not bad at...
A strand of black thread lightly brushed against Kaminari's head as he pulled on the robe, only to hear Mitsui Buntais laughing uproariously behind him, accompanied by the barely-contained chuckles of Tetsutetsu.
"This is so embarrassingā¦" Kaminari muttered, his face flushed.
Shaking off his hesitation, he reached out and grabbed a corner of the Robe. Surprisingly, the texture b...
The name "Fish-Man Island" conjured images of a distant paradise located deep beneath the ocean, isolated and serene. But in reality, it wasn't nearly as remote as it seemed.
Geographically, Fish-Man Island was astonishingly close to Mariejois, Sabaody Archipelago, and Marine Headquarters at Marineford. If one was adequately prepared and faced no interruptions, the journey from Sabaody A...
Early in the morning, at the Marine station on Sabaody Archipelago, Sengoku was busy handling the aftermath of the recent chaos.
In the past few days, Claudius had turned the entire Sabaody Archipelago upside down. True to his nature, though, Claudius was the type to throw everything into disarray and then walk away, leaving others to deal with the fallout. Naturally, Sengoku found himse...
The girls felt a sense of relief after hearing Ryuji's reassurance. They were well aware of how strong Nanako and Mimiko had become, so having them around for support eased their concerns.
"We'll also work hard to become stronger!" one of them declared with determination.
Even though their current strength was still lacking, they were all motivated to grow and improve.
"Tha...
Ryuji raised a hand, stroking his chin thoughtfully.
"As for your cursed energy, once it reaches the level of a Grade 2 sorcerer, you should be ready," he said, his voice calm.
Saki's current strength placed her at the level of a Grade 3 sorcerer. There was still some distance to cover before she could reach Grade 2, but it wasn't out of reach.
"Really? That's great!" Saki'...
Tsunade's quiet actions, such as carefully covering Orochimaru with a blanket, were naturally unknown to him.
Having drunk more than usual, Orochimaru was completely defenseless, something uncharacteristic of him. If someone had the intent to assassinate him, this moment would have been their best opportunity.
Unfortunately for any would-be assassins, this was Konoha, one of the s...
Tsunade had a childhood dream, one that very few people knew about.
It wasn't to become Hokage, as most would expect. Instead, her dream was to win at every casino in the world.
Only Jiraiya and Orochimaru knew of this particular dream.
However, everyone also knew that Tsunade's gambling luck was legendarily bad. Winning? That was something that happened purely by accident ...
Before the Milan derby, De Laurentiis launched a bold psychological attack against his rivals.
In a high-profile announcement, he declared that during the thirty-seventh round of Serie A, in Napoli's home match against AC Milan, Napoli would secure the Serie A championship ahead of schedule and create a historic miracle as a newly-promoted team.
To reinforce this message, he instr...
On April 6th, in the thirty-second round of Serie A, Napoli faced Catania away.
Just five minutes into the match, Hamsik opened the scoring for Napoli.
In the 16th minute, Cavani connected with Lichtsteiner's cross from the right flank to double Napoli's lead.
As the season progressed, Lichtsteiner had grown increasingly comfortable in his role on Napoli's right flank, deli...
[Video paused.]
[Quick answer begins: Why did Emiya Kiritsugu die?]
Emiya Kiritsugu: "!!!"
Irisviel: "Kiritsugu is dead!"
Kayneth: "That's intriguing. Judging from the video, this must be several years after the Fourth Holy Grail War. Could something else have happened to him?"
Waver: "Do you think it was Gilgamesh or someone else who caused it?"
Gilgam...
Iskandar: "So, Gilgamesh's final ending should be defeat, right?"
Waver: "Well, that seems very likely. After all, he hasn't been shown doing much in the video."
Gilgamesh: "Ha! How could this king be defeated by such trifling events?"
Waver: "Just ignore him. He's just being stubborn."
Iskandar: "Come now, Gilgamesh. There's no shame in admitting your failure."
<...
"You've got to be kidding me. Forget Japan, what lottery in the world could possibly have stakes this high?"
Kaminari raised his hand with a wry smile, the absurdity of the situation sinking in. He immediately recalled the abrupt announcement about a replacement support company.
"Soā¦ it turns out this was the reason behind the sudden change, huh? My new battle suit must've come ...
Shizuoka Prefecture, Shimizu Ward.
Kaminari and Tetsutetsu stood side by side, staring at the two-story building in front of them, their expressions caught somewhere between disbelief and skepticism.
"Hey, Kaminariā¦ this is the headquarters of the Mitsui Group's support company?" Tetsutetsu asked doubtfully, his gaze sweeping over the small, unassuming building.
"Itā¦ sh...
For three full days, Claudius stirred up chaos across Mariejois, leaving no stone unturned. Nearly every Celestial Dragon family had been "visited" by him, their homes ransacked under the guise of enforcement.
Like at Saint Rosward's estate, wherever Claudius went, he left with something valuable, whether it was slaves or treasures. By the end of it, Claudius had accumulated a small fort...
Hearing the relentless pounding on his courtyard gates, Saint Rosward was both nervous and furious.
"What the hell is Claudius trying to do? I've shut the gates and stayed out of his way, and now he's banging on my door?" Rosward fumed, pacing back and forth in his courtyard, his face red with anger.
Surrounding him was a group of slaves, along with his mentally deficient son, Sai...
Masumi sighed deeply, resting her chin in her hand.
"For some things, it's better to be mentally prepared early," she muttered, glancing toward Shouko.
Shouko, on the other hand, didn't know how to respond.
Her feelings were complicated. Ryuji wasn't just anyone, he was extraordinary in every sense of the word. His strength, confidence, and calm demeanor made him stand out ...
