Tomoe Gozen (Saber)

Every time summer comes around, the idea of moderation goes out the window for a handful of Chaldea's Heroic Spirits...

Why is that?

Tomoe Gozen finally finds the answer when she experiences the phenomenon herself this summer. Namely...she realized that it triggers this irresistible feeling of passion, fire, and the sunlike power to flow from within...the feeling of liberation! Every year, Tomoe Gozen failed to understand the allure of summer, since events were always set in or around the beach. But this time, something clicked for her because this year's summer event takes place in the mountains. Finally, her swimsuit Spirit Origin awakens!

That aside...exploring the mountains and forests isn't the only thing to enjoy during the summer. That's right...video games!

Now that summer has started, the time has come to play all you can, even if it costs you a bit of sleep!

Height/Weight: 162cm, 50kg

Origin: "The Tale of Heike," "Genpei Jousuiki," the Noh play "Tomoe" and others

Region: Japan

Alignment: Neutral-Good

Sub-Attribute: Earth

Gender: Female

Vwoom, vwoom!

She wears a lightweight summery swimsuit and dual-wields VR controllers! And while she never abandons her modesty completely, the mountains fill her with a sense of liberation, enabling Tomoe Gozen to leap into the delights of summer fun.

Her personality is essentially the same as her normal Archer self, but since she's in vacation mode, she's fully prepared to play. Of course, she may act concerned if something unusual happens, but her intent to enjoy the summer to the fullest always remains.

Midnight of Summer Side: A

"Tomoe during the summer's night is...embarrassingly different than her usual self."

"Specifically..."

"I can play games all day long!"

A skill that enables one to pull all-nighters. As long as the user is enjoying the moment wholeheartedly, fatigue and magical energy consumption can be delayed until later. It's a subgroup of the Battle Continuation skill, but its effect is quite different from the original skill.

VR Shinkageryu: B+

The skill of one who is versed in using a sticklike controller for VR chambara. The skill especially enables one to excel in two-weapon fighting. Initially her rank for this skill was D, but after training directly under Yagyu Tajima-no-kami, her skill name changed, and the rank even shot up.

"The numerous moves I was taught by Lord Tajima-no-kami can definitely be applied as a dual-wielding sword technique in this VR game I play!"

...Or so Tomoe claims. And while Chiyome is suspicious that it's essentially just plain old Shinkageryu, the sword technique in practice is very different than Yagyu Shinkageryu.

『VR Shinkageryu Hidden Technique: Laser Blade Dual Wield』

Rank: C

NP Type: Anti-Personnel

Range: 1

Maximum Targets: 1

A continuously active Noble Phantasm.

Normally the VR laser blade is exactly that...VR... As such, it shouldn't function as a real-life sword, but Saber Tomoe Gozen used her own magical energy to create a pseudo-laser bladed sword to use during her attacks. The sword is, obviously, super hot.

And while Tomoe does not hesitate to claim that this supernatural power was due in part "to the great Asahi Shogun, Lord Yoshinaka," it is in actuality it's probably from her strong demonic blood. Her sword radiating such heat even in her Second and Third Ascension forms is because of this Noble Phantasm.

『VR Shinkageryu Hidden Technique: Tomoe-ga-Fuchi Taiyo-ken』

Rank: B

NP Type: Anti-Army

Range: 1 - 50

Maximum Targets: 40

The Anti-Army version of the Noble Phantasm mentioned earlier.

"I have awakened to the secret techniques of VR Shinkageryu!" ...At least so Tomoe claims, but the truth is unclear. What is clear, though, is that Tomoe puts on a pair of VR goggles to assault the enemy! After she slashes the enemies with both blades, the searing blades draw a circle to create a quasi-sun in the sky that represents her feelings towards Kiso-no-Yoshinaka, and magical bursts outward to finish off the enemy. Tomoe isn't limited to creating one quasi-sun... She can make two, three...even five quasi-suns if she gets serious, but in this game, she will pretty much stick to one.
