EP. REVIEW: Fate/Grand Order Absolute Demonic Front: Babylonia

Honestly, I just want to convey how much your theorizing resembles conspiracy theories. The whole 'if you squeeze your eyes and look at exactly the right angle, it'll make perfect sense'. You have to ignore some attributes of Sephirot, do mental gymnastics with others to make them fit. And there's always the question of how well Nasu actually knows his Jewish mysticism.

Nasu has been scribbling notes to his stories for 25 years, made a multitude of alternate universes, both to avoid continuity errors and just to have some freedom to write what he wants. He both takes old unused ideas from early scribbles or invents brand new stuff. For example he went from 'dumb humans made a grail war and decided to invent 7 classes of tabletop rpg heroes for it' to 'actually Counter Force does that too, trust me, it makes sense for it to create a dungeon party'.

Yes, there's an overarching theme on mankind's progress and eventual end, simply because Nasu is interested in it (despite his actually good stories being largely about how unimportant that all is in the face of mundane happiness and human connection). He's made or envisioned several stories on the future and you're telling me there's one that's the right one? Tiamat's narrative is about the end of Age of Gods, it can lead to any of those futures.

All that being said Nasu does encourage wild theorizing because of the esoteric style he does his loredumping.
