Extellatchi, the Fate/Extella Tamagotchi helping celebrate the 10th anniversary of the popular action video game by Marvelous Entertainment now has a release date! When it was officially announced after being revealed on a YouTube livestream by Fate/Extella there was no information on pre-order dates or the official release date, but that has changed! Fate/Extella has officially announced that pre-orders start on Sunday, September 27th 2020 and the official launch date is set for Thursday, February 11th 2021! Remember, the Extellatchi is only available as part of a celebration box, which includes a special illustration by Wada Arco, and more!

But another Extella game is fully on the table tbh

I like a challenge ecks dee winky-cat-face. Don’t assume I’m on that relationship grind just because people keep requesting it. It’s not my fault everyone wants to smash dead people.

Format swapping throughout this, forgive me.

Scathach in the Moon Cell Holy Grail War

A master that should not have been. A battle that was not hers to fight. Blood poured from her lips and pooled in her dimples. Peers kicked her body across the hall, tore her clothes. She kept the tears in and waited to die.

But a shadow appeared before her, and her peers toppled to the ground. Their cries shocked her awake. The figure took a spearman’s stance, their weapon wrapped in rags. They knelt beside the girl. 

“Master,” they whispered, “I will not leave you here.” They lifted the girl from the ground and carried her in their arms.

Scathach relies on her master for nothing more than mana. As her master’s body slowly recovers, the Heroic Spirit goes out of her way to put her master’s life above victory in all scenarios.

Scathach often fights as though she has a death wish. While she desperately wants to die like a human would, she cannot. For this reason she battles alongside her master hoping some day her peerless pupil ends her life. 

Master is inexperienced, despite her crest and powerful magic circuits. The conditions would be ideal for a servant if Master had any idea how to properly utilize her abilities. 

She’s spent much of her educational career being overlooked, hovering near the middle of the pack. She’s never been considered brilliant, nor stupid, nor exceptional. 

What she lacks in book smarts she makes up for in creativity–her ability to find absurd ways to use magecraft is unmatched. 

Master and Scathach develop a close camaraderie, though they have nothing in common. 

Scathach takes on a mentoring role with her master and instructs in the way of the spear. Master becomes passable enough to defend herself in an emergency.

The fun starts once she improvises a method of using magecraft to empower objects and other abilities. (This isn’t unlike the way another Anime Protagonist learned to become swords.)

The two of them make a decent pair. After a time they learn to balance with each other’s strengths. Scathach makes for an excellent educator. Master is an expert of improvisation. 

They do not win the Moon Cell Holy Grail War due to Master sustaining a life-threatening injury. Scathach, overwhelmed with guilt and the desire to protect a life that doesn’t deserve to end so soon, elects to stay by her master and continuing to defend their stage for as long as need be.
