Lore Behind the Bonces in FGO
In Fate/Grand Order, each servant possesses their own unique lore and story. Today, we will explore the origins and significance of various bounces in the game. From Medusa's mythical island to Blackbeard's infamous flagship, these stories provide a deeper understanding of the characters and their journeys.
Medusa's Myth and the Shapeless Island
The shapeless island of Medusa's myth is an intriguing concept. Although it is not a real place, it is believed to be one of the many spotted islands across the Mediterranean Sea. According to the legend, the island was once littered with statues of Medusa's victims, including unwary sailors and failed heroes. These statues serve as a reminder of the dangers that await those who dare to venture into the unknown.
George's Photo Collection: A Bonsai with a Romantic Idea
Saint George, known for his bravery and noble acts, surprises us with his passion for photography. While it is true that Saint George never took any pictures himself, the concept of his bonsai, titled "What Can Be Left Behind," reflects his desire to capture fleeting moments in time. This bonsai holds a romantic idea, symbolizing George's wish for us to remember the precious moments we spend together.
Blackbeard's Flagship: The Queen Anne's Revenge
Blackbeard, a notorious pirate, had a more complex story than one might think. His bonsai reveals a deeper connection to his life and actions. The bonsai showcases a model replica of his flagship, the Queen Anne's Revenge. During his infamous blockade of Charleston, Blackbeard sought a pardon to escape a life of constantly being hunted. He made the blasphemous decision to run his beloved flagship aground, eventually acquiring a pardon. Despite his attempts to leave his pirate life behind, he succumbed to his old ways, as symbolized by the bonsai.
Buddica: Rebellion Against Tyranny
Boudicca, the legendary Celtic queen, is depicted in her bonsai as a symbol of rebellion against tyranny. After the Romans desecrated her land and killed her husband, Boudicca led successful assaults against Roman settlements. However, one strategic mistake led to her downfall, allowing the Romans to ultimately defeat her and her troops. Though she never achieved the victory she desired, her legacy as a symbol of resistance lives on in Great Britain.
The Sword of Ushiwaka: Midori, the Sword of Light
Midori, the sword of Ushiwakamaru, holds great significance in Japanese mythology. Ushiwakamaru, also known as Minamoto no Yoshitsune, was a renowned samurai warrior. He named the sword Midori, meaning "light green," because it possessed the power to cleave mountains while being as beautiful as the springtime. This bonsai represents Ushiwakamaru's connection to his legendary sword, a weapon that shaped his destiny.
Alexander and Diogenes: A Meeting of Great Minds
The bonsai associated with Alexander the Great tells the story of his encounter with the philosopher Diogenes. Diogenes, known for his quick wit and intellect, lived a modest life. When Alexander visited Diogenes, the philosopher asked him to move away so that he could see the sun. This encounter left a lasting impression on Alexander, who famously claimed that if he were not Alexander, he would have wished to be Diogenes.
The Necklace of Marie Antoinette: Symbol of Revolution
The story of Marie Antoinette's necklace is shrouded in controversy and intrigue. During the waning period of the French monarchy, a plot was manufactured to defame Marie Antoinette. She was offered a lavish necklace but declined. However, her signature was forged on documents, implicating her in the scandal. This necklace became a key player in the eventual revolution against the monarchy, symbolizing the growing anti-monarchy sentiment during that time.
Martha's Walking Stick: A Gift from Jesus
Martha, known for her biblical story of faith, is associated with a walking stick in her bonsai. Legend has it that during her journey to see if her brother Lazarus had been resurrected by Jesus, Martha was given a simple walking stick. This stick, upon her manifestation as a servant, was imbued with holy power by Jesus himself. Although the exact origin of the stick is unknown, it is believed to have been found in the Collegiate Church of Terrascon, where other relics of Martha were also housed.
The Golden Rudder: Calico Jack's Infamous Ship
The bonsai depicting the Golden Rudder holds an interesting historical interpretation. Initially, it is important to note that the name itself is slightly inaccurate, as the original Golden Hind did not have a wheel but a whipstaff. The Golden Rudder bonsai represents Calico Jack, a famous pirate captain, and his ship, which had Anne Bonny and Mary Read among its crew. Calico Jack's pirate career came to an end when he and his crew were ambushed in Jamaica. The only two capable of defending the ship were Anne and Mary, who fought with extraordinary bravery. Calico Jack and his crew were arrested and faced execution, with Anne and Mary's fate remaining ambiguous.
