While everyone is distracted by the onsen scene, I'm laughing at the 3 contenders: Toppe Batterius (Top Batterer), Neks Tinline (Next in line), and Stihl-Aint Hapnin (Still Ain't Happening). Comedy gold genius move right there.

WAIT HOW THE HELL DID I MISS THIS?

This is comedy gold, but the Japanese name pronounications threw me off lols.

As Gordon Ramsay would say: Well spotted.

Lol. Like I said, you were distracted by the Onsen scene. Also, Toppe Batterius clearly looked like he was about to play baseball w/ his gear and form.

agree the 1st one was in a batting position XD

I saw that, but I still didn't pay attention to the names - the power of side characters.

cid needs to observe he might learn something

Lmao I didn't pay attention to the names but I did notice that batting stance.

Reminds me of Who's on First

What's the guy's name on first base?

No no, Who's on first, What's on second.

I'm not asking Who's on second!

No, Who's on first.

I don't know......

Oh, he's on third.

perfect execution.

He already got to home plate while you were confusing yourselves 🤣

striker?

Author's game character naming sense at its finest XDD

Naming a child be like:

😂😂😂 Thanks man. I actually missed this one.

Same shadow is yasashi

i only noticed the last one lol... seeing this now makes the sense of humor in this anime top notch.
btw anyone wana tell me what was the point of that button if the sanctuary is actually real and not a setup?

It's probably a method to control the sanctuary somehow. I bet the fights before Shadow were carefully orchestrated based on the acting pope's will

Fr this is genius loooool
Rewatched that scene again and the first name was the same as in the subs and the other ones were essentially the same thing but in japanese

Can u tell me what is it i can't understand anything 🥲

What do you mean? Explanations of the puns are in the comment I replied to

As soon as I heard "Matta muri". I knew something was wrong... I look at the sub and yea "Stihl-Aint Hapnin". Make sense...

only understood the last name, which sounded like "mada muiri", and sometimes anime they say "mada mada" (not good enough) and "muiri" (it's hopeless)

I noticed the third one, but not the first two. Absolute comedy.

I laughed at the surname that Natsume chosed - I mean Kafka? As in Franz Kafka? Made me laugh harder than it probably should

Missed that one completely.
What am I even doing, missing the details like that?? 🤦‍♂️

i had a hunch, but after 1st one didn't connect in my head, i ignored the rest of the names.

I noticed he uttered Alpha's name in front of Alexia. She didn't seem to notice, but she has heard that name before. Maybe her sister would have noticed, having a stronger impression after all.
He should be careful.

Dude that is so funny, they managed to get it past me haha

Can u tell me what u r saying cause i don't understand anything or maybe cause am feeling sleepy but what are you saying pls explain

I am saying that this anime is truly a genius for their choice of naming sense for side characters.

Alexia: "You call that Excalibur? Don't you mistake it for an earthworm?"
Cid: "This is not my final form"
Alexia: "Nani?!"
LOL Alexia just slap her puss with the towel imitating Cid. I don't think that was going well for her, though.

I just love Alexia. Her chemistry with Cid is the best. I would love to see her more often.

Saber would love to get her hands on that sword ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

This would truly do justice to the line:
"I am the bone of my sword !!!" 😂

every line becomes good after that

"Unknown to death, nor known to life !!!" 😂

I am the bone of my Sword. Steel is my Body and Fire is my Blood. I have created over a Thousand Blades, Unknown to Death, Nor known to Life.

does this imply, having a boner over a 1000 times. Why am i figuring this out 15 years later xD

Have withstood pain to create many weapons yet those hands will never hold anything. So as I pray.....

I like that do you have more lines like this

Nope,
"I am the boner of my sword"

more like,
"I pop a boner and thats my sword"

"I have a boner, this is my sword"

Except it's a boner without a bone

Sword in heavy quotations xD.

She has Shirou's for that.
