No, it's not

RN isn't canon, so LE isn't


You have yet to actually provide a factual counter argument except typical "No you" response.Prilya isn't canon,nor is Fate Strange Fake or Apocrypha but they still are a part of Nasuverse because they use the same world mechanics.You can try to justify your point by using "Lol Zeltrech","lol 2nd Magic" logic but technically they aren't. Strictly speaking,FSN VN(including RN),F/HA,Fate Extra and CCC (never read GOA so idk)are the only ones that are canon.The rest are "additions".At the risk of potentially garnering attention from some serious salty fans here,even UFOUBW is more canon than prilya because execution shenaigans aside,the changes were mostly made by Nasu's permission and he himself wrote couple of scenes.

This is so wrong.

Meaning that Prillya can go against F/SN's rules due to being in a different universe and still be 100% canon as long as it follows its own set of rules accurately.

Not really...?
Of course. A credible source would be needed for that, though.

Well, i'm not bothered enough to argue a tweet as a legitimate source of non canonicity if you dont consider it so.

For starters, why include Extra and CCC in that list? What makes them different from other Fate/s?
Are Kara no Kyoukai, Tsukihime and Mahoyo not canon?
HA works with the basis of alternate dimensions so how could you include that in canon after saying "lol 2nd magic doesnt make things canon"?

By that definition, F/Z isn't canon neither are the several non-lore-breaking scenes written by different authors in Hollow ataraxia BTW.
Something being canon doesn't mean it has to be written by Nasu.

Well we are talking in a Fate episode discussion thread,so that should be a given what I meant by the ones I included in the Fate side..:P

..HA is a bit more than that though your statement is sort of simplifying that.

Extra and CCC,well Nasu was directly involved with it.

Canaan is written by Nasu, the character design is by Takeuchi and the anime series is a part of Type-Moon.

My point being that if you consider only what Nasu is involved in to be the definition of canon, then DDD and Canaan, written by Nasu, is canon.
And Zero would not be.

But you said alternate possibilities aren't canon because multiverse argument doesn't count, and KNK and Tsukihime are explicitly AU to one another.
Hell, even Fate, UBW and HF are.

because they use the same world mechanics.

As do Apocrypha and SF, so?

It follows the established rules and lore of the verse(s), is not retconned away, and is a work published/produced/presented by Notes Co., Ltd., under the Type-Moon brand.

I agree with that criterea.
Prillya follows the overarching rules the same way EXTRA does and adding plausible exceptions doesn't make it non-canon unless Nasu explicitly says so. Prillya is under the Type-Moon brand and the anime was co-produced by Notes.

I watched it few years back so my memory might be hazy but does Canaan really follow any of the Nauverse "mechanics" to begin with because I don't really remember so.About Zero,well you do get a pretty decent idea about 4th HGW's or Zero's equivalent time period progression throughout the entirety of 3 routes. Urobutchi basically just tied the disjointed knots and introduced some characters.

But you said alternate possibilities aren't canon because multiverse argument doesn't count, and KNK and Tsukihime are explicitly AU to one another.
Hell, even Fate, UBW and HF are.


Don't get me wrong,I am not discounting the functioning of 2nd True Magic,specially in case of Tsuki and KNK.What I meant is being part of Nasuverse doesn't necessarily make it canon.When I mean Nasuverse and canon,I mean those which actually use the mechanics of the world mentioned and
the writer being involved with it..so Canaan shouldn't be a part of this to begin with.

UBW Good End on other hand is just impossible fanservice that should not be thought about too much.

"Not canon"

>A spin off series that contradicts some estabilshed main universe facts
"Totally canon"

gg Fai


LE and Good End contradict far more than Prillya even did.

LE is just fanservice
Good End is not a "legitimate" ending and more of a feel-good what-if for saber fans without any possibility of continuing.

The anime's? She used the word 蘇生 (Sosei), meaning "Resuscitation" as its primary most used meaning: https://translate.google.com.eg/?hl=en&tab=wT#ja/en/%E8%98%87%E7%94%9F
It can also mean "Resurrection", but "Resuscitation" was the higher priority result for the word.

I checked the posts on this thread recently and can't help but notice that there's a bit of a debate regarding canonicity in the works of Lord and Savior Nasu. (」゜ロ゜)」

To be honest, as long as people are enjoying content related to a specific series, regardless of whether the original author has a hand in it or not, it shouldn't matter if something is canon or not. I believe several people that love doujins are in a similar kind of mindset.

Regardless, as long as everyone can find some sort of enjoyment out of these works of fiction, then bringing these differences into question should have little to no value overall. These are my two cents on the matter. Let's set aside these minute disputes and rejoice, together.

Hahaha That's why the good end isn't just a good end for Shirou but Rin as well ;)

Back On topic I watched it a couple times and enjoyed it for what it was. A good adaptation of the good end. Personally I loved the end in the VN but didn't realize there were so many haters O_o

I give it a 10/10 didn't like Shirou tripping but the ending redeemed it self with Rin's Booty shot!!!!

I don't get why Saber would agree to stay considering how much of a fuss she made about "fulfilling her duty" in the Fate route. Shirou had to go through hell just to get the bitch to budge and she still killed him for the sake of her duty in that one extremely hard to get bad end.

RN is canon and so is LE, they were released with the main story as part of the main story. Until official sources say otherwise, the default is that they're canon. No, I don't give a shit who your waifu is or what your favorite route is. At the very least, LE is canon within the Fate route, though all things considered, the Fate route would be the canon route if a canon route had to be chosen; for one thing, the entire freaking game is named after it.

Again, I don't give a fuck how anyone feel about any of the characters or the routes, get over yourselves.

Because different routes, different circumstances?

And to get that bad end you have to pratically be an ass towards her so it's understandable that she let her duty control her for a second

Well, this was nice short but still, it was maybe too short. It was cool but that doesn't change the fact this is kinda bad end, sort of, born of Shirou's indecision.

The way it was implied he has to "supply" her with mana was kinda out of place though as it doesn't make much sense in context of previous all-ages workaround but well.

Don't have high hopes for upcoming Ufo HF but at least there is something to look forward too.
Wish they would do without censorship and go all out with it as all-ages workaround really doesn't make much sense in case of Sakura line.

Pretty much there's not a single person who actually LIKES UBW "good end". Even more so in Anime, where it was altered to be even more haremy and fanpandery.

It does not even make sense within canon as no matter how much sex Rin and Shirou would have there's no way to sustain a servant without a grail around.

Its pretty easy to avoid the "good end" - as the way it is achieved is by pandering to Saber at every single possible situation - basically trying to treat start of ubw as fate route.
