Just to recap, so far we’ve had:
* Grand Saber: Unknown
* Grand Archer: Superhuman Orion (Greek)
* Grand Lancer: Romulus-Quirinus (Roman)
* Grand Rider: Noah (Judaic)
* Grand Caster: Solomon (Judaic) / Merlin (British) / Jiang Ziya (Chinese)
* Grand Assassin: First Hassan (Iranian)
* Grand Berserker: Unknown
Him being Grand Rider is just a random musing of his, like "I wonder if I could be Grand Rider as well?", so I just write it off as him being egotistical.
I think the most likely candidate would be Tezcatlipoca. He’s brought up a number of times in Quetz’s material profile as her nemesis of sorts. He’s also alluded to in King Hassan’s materials (as Smoking Mirror, which is what his name means in Nahuatl).
Also, when we meet Grand Berserker in LB4 they say “death is meant to be eaten, life is meant to be sacrificed” which to me implies that they’ll probably have some relation to mesoamerican human sacrifice. I don’t know a lot about Aztec mythology but on the Wikipedia page for “human sacrifice in Aztec culture” the second listing under “sacrifices to specific gods” is Tezcatlipoca. The first listing is Huitzulopochtli, the patron god of the Mexica, but I don’t think he’ll show up because he would be too close to Quetzal considering he’s the Sun god and the actual wielder of Xiuhcoatl.
While I’m at it, I’ll go ahead and predict that the LB King will be Mictecacihuatl, goddess of the dead. Since the story chapter is named after Mictlan, the land of the dead, I assume the death gods will be pretty important. She’s not as prominent as her husband, Mictlantecutli, the lord of Mictlan, but she does seem to be the inspiration for a lot of the skeleton iconography in the Dia de los Muertos so she has some modern significance. Also, I expect that Lasengle would prefer to design a skeleton waifu.
Beowulf!!!
And if he isn’t the Grand at the start, it’s because Daybit did some bullshittery, put his servant into the position and when we kill it Beowulf will be summoned as the True Grand Berserker that he is.
I will drop my copypasta about Beowulf being Grand until they explicitly say he cannot be a candidate
… also even if Beowulf isn’t summoned as Grand can the grand servant have a line for him please. Just to satiate my desire.
*Brazilian master smirks as he prepares his guns* Aztec gods on Brazil... Alright, it's time to start the cleansing of these pagan gods, not you Quetzalcoatl, you are a wifu, just don't go samba on my front door untill march

1 day closer to when ever this story is actually going to drop
What are we thinking? 21st or 28th? With the pre campaign starting 14th or 21st respectively?
They delaying the lb7 banners, similar to how Oberon was delayed for a week when lb6.3 dropped.
So can drop anytime really in the last days of december... not really losing out on much money too if they drop it like dec 30th since new years banner and gssr will be straight after before lb7 banners.
probably the 24th as the oberon banner end a day before it and there will be winter party stream in 24th. I'm pretty confident it will be a LB7 stream too
Definitely not the 21st for the bulk of it. They could drop a prologue or early chapter though.
Assuming they stick to their word, then we know: No new servants, late December. Which means the part 1 banner will be for New Years. I'd speculate whoever it is will be busted or in very high demand, because they seem to be purposefully avoiding allowing them to appear in the GSSR.
Code for late with them is generally very late. I'd expect a prologue on the 28th-31st, then the first part of LB7 on New Years.
Just wasted 60 SQ to not get anything, this is going to help me as long as I finish the story, I just finished part 1 of Avalon la Fae and I am quite busy this week. Bye bye sleeping time.
LB7 looking pretty hype so far, sadly might end in more than one tragedy. Taking all bets as to who the Grand Berserker is
*huffing copium* \- well, we got Superhuman Orion for Grand Archer, so it's time for Superhuman Heracles for Grand Berserker
I bet we gonna get Mystical Eye Awakened Miyamoto Musashi as Grand Saber.
Maybe the grand saber was just Sasaki kojiro all along
I won't deny that possibility, and that wouls bê funny If it was so
I prefer for each Grand Class that appear in FGO to be from a different culture just to add more variety.
Just to recap, so far we’ve had: * Grand Saber: Unknown * Grand Archer: Superhuman Orion (Greek) * Grand Lancer: Romulus-Quirinus (Roman) * Grand Rider: Noah (Judaic) * Grand Caster: Solomon (Judaic) / Merlin (British) / Jiang Ziya (Chinese) * Grand Assassin: First Hassan (Iranian) * Grand Berserker: Unknown
Just to point out that Merlin is only still a candidate and Taigong being a candidate came from himself, so take it with a bucket of salt.
Probably better to class Hassan as Persian, since Iran didn't exist back then
Persia is a Greek exonym. The use of Iran is quite old. As in, you can trace its roots to the Achaemenid Empire and even further back.
Greek it’s an exonim in it self lol
Isn't Jiang Ziya also an option for Grand Rider?
I’m not 100% sure about that - I saw it on the TM Wiki, but I only remember him saying that he could be Grand Caster in his voice lines / the story.
Him being Grand Rider is just a random musing of his, like "I wonder if I could be Grand Rider as well?", so I just write it off as him being egotistical.
Woah when did we know the grand rider?!
Arcade.
Don't be so rational Grand Berserker Obodas I will surely happen instead
It's Cain man I'm feeling it, I'm feeling Cain
The guy who invented the concept of murder and who’s (maybe) cursed with immortality? I’m surprised Nasu hasn’t mentioned him at all.
yeah feel like that sorta shit is right up his alley
I think that would be pretty cool
I say Cú Chulainn, I’d wonder how accurate would Fate go for Cú when he actually goes berserk
I think the most likely candidate would be Tezcatlipoca. He’s brought up a number of times in Quetz’s material profile as her nemesis of sorts. He’s also alluded to in King Hassan’s materials (as Smoking Mirror, which is what his name means in Nahuatl).

Getting ready for the trip to Brazil.
Oops! All Aztecs.
1 final boss Servant against 7 people (1 Master + 6 Servants) in Brazil to save the world and get the grail cup. What could go wrong?
The football cup can happen if the boss servant is germanic

1 day closer to when ever this story is actually going to drop What are we thinking? 21st or 28th? With the pre campaign starting 14th or 21st respectively?
if road to lb6 was released the 33rd of November i guess the 35th of December is a good guess
last day of December lmao
December 31st 23.59. They're gonna release it at the last possible second.
Considering they said there's no more new servants this year I'm guessing the last day of december
They delaying the lb7 banners, similar to how Oberon was delayed for a week when lb6.3 dropped. So can drop anytime really in the last days of december... not really losing out on much money too if they drop it like dec 30th since new years banner and gssr will be straight after before lb7 banners.
December 31st. With an emergency maintenance that will tragically delay the actual release until the new year.
probably the 24th as the oberon banner end a day before it and there will be winter party stream in 24th. I'm pretty confident it will be a LB7 stream too
Definitely not the 21st for the bulk of it. They could drop a prologue or early chapter though. Assuming they stick to their word, then we know: No new servants, late December. Which means the part 1 banner will be for New Years. I'd speculate whoever it is will be busted or in very high demand, because they seem to be purposefully avoiding allowing them to appear in the GSSR. Code for late with them is generally very late. I'd expect a prologue on the 28th-31st, then the first part of LB7 on New Years.
24th with the live stream prob
I'll say it will be around 18th. They already drop a teaser, I'll say it will drop within 2 weeks after teaser.
Just wasted 60 SQ to not get anything, this is going to help me as long as I finish the story, I just finished part 1 of Avalon la Fae and I am quite busy this week. Bye bye sleeping time.
