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 LB6 reading experience is like:
something terrible happens/ something fucked up is revealed so you conclude that Britain is the worst possible hell.
then something good happens and you start to believe there are still things worth saving here.
then something terrible happens again and you start to truly understand Aesc’s despair.

random fgo snippet -- jiang ziya/taigong wang and arjuna
“So this is where the Awarded Hero was! And here I was thinking my hunch to check Novum Chaldea’s library was a fluke.”
As though prompted by Jiang Ziya’s declaration, Arjuna’s gaze lifted from the book he had been perusing, eyebrows slightly pinched. “...Were you looking for me?”
Undeterred by the short, bemused answer, Jiang Ziya simply maintained his usual smile as he paused at the table Arjuna sat at, one hand gliding over the top of the chair across from the Pandavan prince. “You could say I was, Prince,” the former Duke of Qi replied, tone remaining light. “Is it that much of a surprise that someone would seek you out like this? I hear King David does much the same with you, after all.”
Perhaps he shouldn’t have brought that up so casually, but Arjuna’s lack of hostility at the remark was promising to observe. “...I suppose,” was all he replied with, after an audible pause. Clearly not missing Jiang Ziya’s silent gesture with the chair, Arjuna went on with evident carefulness in his words, “...You’re welcome to sit in that chair if you wish. I only ask that you abstain from disturbing anyone else in the library.”

As an NA only FGO player that loosely follows FGO news on Twitter, I have come across the next story part after the LBs and am very confused.
About the new story part that is actually a story and not and event. Especially because
(Spoiler about JP FGO below)
I’ve seen post about Dantes being a main character in it. AND GETTING A NEW CARD! LIKE, HIM!
But also, I am very confused as to why it looks like Guda is going through and emotional wringer. And something BAD happens to possibly Dantes and Jalter?!
I don’t want any MORE spoilers besides the vague things I have already found. But I need a way to give those two Avengers that have been with us since the Singularities big hugs.
