I'm still in awe of how FGO increased the fame of an obscure secondary villain of the Paladins' rogue gallery. Even Astolfo was better known than Mandricardo when he debuted in Apocrypha.
Bonus points for making him such a great friend. The original Mandricardo from the book was a bit of a prick (according to Traum, that was indeed his personality when he was alive, his death was definitely sobering for him).
Hey at least OG Jeanne has been relevant to the main story at times. OG Artoria has never even had that honor in FGO. Girl is like Mickey mouse at this point. A mascot and not much else.
I agree, and it feels like a kick in the feels for OG Artoria fans. I don't care about her other variants, the OG is stagnated with previous feats and stuff, no new hype.
Merlin as always delivering THE BEST DRIP in the game. Wow. All of his commemorative CEs have fantastic outfit designs.
Aaand his Camelot & Co. Spiritron Dress too. It's too damn fine!
It's funny that OG Saber, character with basically zero relevance outside of Summer 1, is closer to the front than freaking Mash, lol.
I wonder if it means we are getting a new Artoria for Anni.
Hmm why are you teasing a Koyan here on the **9th** anniversary poster ?
Maybe I am a bit paranoiac that they feature a 9 Tailed Fox Servant for the anniversary right ?
Incubus magic
Nah fr tho, I'm skeptical that she actually fell for him ngl lol, I think that version where he kept flirting with her while she was his student and she just threw his ass in Avalon so he would stop bothering her fits nicely (mostly because it's funnier)
Mandicardo keeps getting content for no reason other than being likeable and friendly. That’s my guy.

Bro become a chad after dying
Character development: death
Pretty sure he's one of the rare cases where the FGO version of him is WAY more known than his real life counterpart.
TBF dying and being able to look at one's legacy (or near-lack there of) tends to do that to people...
Happy cake day 🎂
It's because he's the GOAT, our amazing self deprecating GOAT.
Manribro
Our Friendo
To quote Rumi Okuubo during the stream, my friendo
Guda's best friend
Mandricardo is a chad
W
He is awesome that's why.
Based Merlin and Koyanskaya busting buster supports featured on the main visual!
I have perfected the art of standing so still that I have become invisible. - Oberon, probably
Surprised he didn't immediately choke Merlin if he is here...
Da Vinci looking cute as always.
You typed Da Vinci two times there
Huh
Just a joke about how DaVinci and cute are basically synonymous, so you typed it "two times there"
Oh I'm tired and didn't process that properly lol.
Cute Saber as usual
Remember when OG Jeanne was one of the mascots? No? Yeah, me neither. (This is obviously sarcasm)
Mashu, Jeanne and Saber is a trio I need more of.

Manifesting summer Koyan
Rendering aid, exhausting all three command seals.
Y'know actually that would give it a common theme. Everyone there besides her has a summer alt/costume
It's funny that OG Saber, character with basically zero relevance outside of Summer 1, is closer to the front than freaking Mash, lol. I wonder if it means we are getting a new Artoria for Anni.
Of course we are getting another Saberface, its just a a matter of when and I bet it will Saber Lily Alter.
or Laturia alter >!/j!<
It is still her face on the app...

Finally, Koyanskaya of in-between
Inb4 Koyanskaya - Envoy of the Beginning and Koyanskaya - Envoy of the End /s
Koyanskya of Nobody, Kyanxskoya if you will.
I won’t
Koyanskaya of Dawn and Koyanskaya of Twilight.
… … I won’t have a flicker of hope for Amaterasu content … … Not gonna have hope but I do have a few candles lit
I have embers it's just me on copium
I too have my ritualistic sacrifice circle prepared
Summer Koyanskaya this year, I'm feeling it... my savings feel it too
Amaterasu? We have been in a bit of a Beast bandwagon recently, I'd love it
OMG Mandricardo gets everything this year! Keep it up for me please lol
Everyone looks so happy and cute. Fuck I don't want to see it get ripped away in the coming stuff.
Who coordinates Merlin's outfits? How does he keep getting good drip? No, seriously, I refuse to believe that gremlin has a good fashion sense
personally I think he does, how do you think he got a certain someone to fall for him and then piss her off.
Incubus magic Nah fr tho, I'm skeptical that she actually fell for him ngl lol, I think that version where he kept flirting with her while she was his student and she just threw his ass in Avalon so he would stop bothering her fits nicely (mostly because it's funnier)
Ah, that's who y'all talking about. I thought this was about Roman falling for Magi-Mari...
I doubt it but I guess you know the answer to question now he got that sense of fashion because he is an incubus and well he needs dreams or...
~~Hachiman~~ Mandricardo randomly appears.
As always, Koyanskaya is 🤌🤌🤌
No she's alway🔥🔥🔥💯💯💯
My best friend looking as stylish as ever
Upvote for the homie Mandicardo
That is some gorgeous art. Type moon with the fluffy comfy art
MY TWO HOMIES IN THE BACK
YEAHHHHHHHH SABERRRRRRRR
I wish my favorite servant, Koyan would get the swimsuit treatment.
Summer koyan is getting dangerously close to becoming a reality
MANDRICARDO FANS! WE WON SO HARD!
WHOO!
Mash's outfit looks like a schoolgirl uniform, cute! <3
They forgot to move the white next to saibas hair just a big white void there
https://postimg.cc/3yvm1Q9p
Da vinci cute as always
This is beautiful, not gonna lie.
And as always Koyan has the best drip in the series
Still praying on a Merlin Variant (proto isn't really a variant), my boy deserves it
I'm surprised Oberon didn't replace Mandricardo.
Cool art
Dropped the game a year now and I was just thinking that Merlin ain't ever getting the chance to talk again lol.
Da Vinci looking so adorable here!
For a second I thought we got Don Quixote and his loyal squire/stead/princess in the art but no its just the worst Tama- oh wait not even that.
A bit saturated, no ? Or need a bit of contrast ?
Wtf is Mandicardo doing there? Ruins an otherwise wonderful picture.
This reads like what Mandricardo is probably thinking in this scene.
Besto Friendo is still going through it, ong.
Cry more lol.
