So... Lostbelt 6 part 2 is out and it's great! I haven't finished it yet but uh... I gotta address something. And it's this scene.

Good scene, right? Beautiful CG, some insight into the way Castoria thinks... but there's something wrong with this scene.

It's translated wrong.

Now if you're like me and you've been keeping up with fan translations for FGO, you may have realized this already, but this translation fundamentally misses the entire point of the scene.

This is what Castoria is supposed to be saying:

I don't want to see her. I don't want to be shown her. She's too much. I don't want to believe it. I don't want to acknowledge it.

After all.

She has no equal. Takes no refuge. No one who understands her. None who can comfort her.

She receives no reward. No goals. No rest. She cannot afford failure, not even a single mistake.

Ah—from the bottom of my heart, I think: "no."

Just how cruel must it be for everyone to smile and acknowledge a king like that?

Do you see the difference? This is a defining scene concerning Castoria's character. Something that sets her apart from every other iteration of Artoria that we've known so far (barring the Servantverse ones). Castoria sees the way of life that her PHH self chose and is repulsed. She can't stand to think about it. At first it seems like she's just buckling under the weight of those expectations, but in reality, Castoria just can't stand to see her.

She can't stand to see this other version of herself willingly throw away her humanity for the sake of an ideal. To give up her own happiness, to give up any chance of ever being understood, all to become a perfect king who the people will love and praise, but never truly understand.

It is a lonely existence, and like a certain redhead in Fate/Stay Night, she can't accept it. Who could bear to live like that? Who would want to live like that? Castoria wants nothing more than to be happy. She wants to make friends her age, eat sweets with them, go shopping with them and walk down the street while holding their hands. She wants to LIVE, and the thought of giving all of that up for the sake of everybody but yourself...

Noble? Sure. But it's mostly just tragic.

That's what this scene is about. Establishing exactly how Castoria feels about her Proper Human History self. She doesn't admire her, if anything it HURTS to see her, to know what she went through, to know what she did.

So WHY was it translated like this?

I'm the only one of my kind. I have nowhere to run. No one understands me. Romance is out of the question.

There's no reward. No finish line. no rest. I can't make so much as a single mistake.

Ahh... So many things I'll never have.

How cruel would I have to be for everyone to accept a king like me with a smile?

Listen, Castoria thinking of her own struggles in parallel to Saber's is interesting, and it isn't NOT there... but that isn't the point of the scene, and foregrounding it like this is uh...

It sure is a decision, that's for sure.

It's not necessarily bad, but it just doesn't fit due to the obvious reason that this isn't what the scene is supposed to be. This scene isn't Castoria seeing a vision of Saber and going "wow, how am I going to live up to this?" as if Saber's story is aspirational.

No. It's a tragedy, and what Castoria is actually thinking is "that's cruel and fucked up"

Anyways I just felt like putting this out there... and before anybody jumps down my throat about how the fan-translation could've been wrong... I did bring this up with a friend who can read Japanese and went to read the node in Japanese. While you could argue that because Caster and Artoria are acknowledged to be different versions of the same person, that Caster is using "I" to refer to the other, but the last line is just outright wrong. The scene is fundamentally about the cruelty of everyone around Saber placing an impossible burden on her, and how Castoria feels seeing that.

the worst part about Morgan is that, like the faeries, she is incapable of changing

no matter how cruel, how ruthless, how apathetic she is towards the faeries, no matter how much she plays the role of ‘Witch’ or ‘High Queen’... she cannot help but be kind, if only fleetingly

even when she knew she was to be murdered at Orkney, she chose to save them for 3,400 years

even when they rejected her, chased her away to hibernate for centuries, she continued to save them

even though she was wanted and organized for every faerie in Britain to die, she could not help but beg Baobhan Sith to keep living

even though Woodwose had relapsed into a violent, bestial animal who attacked her out of rage, envy, and misunderstanding, Morgan comforted him with kindness in his dying moments

even though she had the power to destroy every Faerie in the Throne Room and every member of the Round Table and Rebel Armies, she still froze when she saw Sith’s body strung up in chains by Spriggan

at Morgan’s center is a painful, agonizing kindness that can never be cut away, and that kindness is her undoing, again, and again, and again.

When Mash rejects Beryl after the fight in LB6, it's not because she doesn't love him or that she loves Guda more (though both could be said to be true). She doesn't even deny that what he feels might truly be "love" for him, but she turns it down because she can't understand his love.

This struck me because it's such a CCC-like moment - in CCC, Hakuno has to reject the Alter Egos' love for them because they love in a way that is harmful to themselves and others. It's one of the core thesis of the Fate series, but one I think doesn't see much discussion, this idea that if you don't express your love in a way that can be understood and accepted by others it will not be returned. We see it a lot in Extra and CCC both with the Alter Egos and with Nero's backstory, it's here in FGO with Mash and Beryl, and particularly with all of the Beasts and their inhuman ways of loving humanity.

playing avalon and muramasa asking how limbo died out of curiosity and all three of guda's responses are some variation of "he had it coming :)" with what i assume must be a dead eyed stare and muramasa's straight up like "ANYWAY, LOUDLY CHANGING THE SUBJECT" because now he understands that the master of chaldea is fucking unhinged
