History Funny / FateSamuraiRemnant

* Dorothea and Assassin

** How is this Divine Spirit here despite no modern magecraft being able to summon one? Tsuchimikado directly called her by invoking LoopholeAbuse -- this turns out to have been his plan from ''the very beginning'', despite Caster's warnings. The first time he tried summoning her through Caster before Boss intervened, but the second time Tsuchimikado pulls it off by calling her directly through the Waxing Moon... and she promptly runs off to do her own thing, because Rulers can do whatever the hell they want.

** By extension of the above, the entire DLC plot can be summed up as: "Tsuchimikado got too big for his britches. Ibuki-Douji destroyed his ego."

* As one last personal jab at Tsuchimikado's dignity, or whatever was left of it at that point, when Ibuki-Douji beats Boss in the final round of the tournament, he proudly proclaims that "The winners are...IBUKI-DOUJI! [[MyFriendsAndZoidberg Oh, and her two attendants.]]" Since all he and Caster really did was cheer her on.

** Due to their connection through his snake curse, when they meet Ibuki-Douji Assassin tries to be respectful and deferential towards her, calling her "Elder Sister"...and Ibuki-Douji is ''having none of it''. She proceeds to spend nearly half of her introduction in this route acting like an embarrassingly affectionate older sister, insisting that Assassin calls her "Big Sis" (Onee-chan) and constantly referring to the tall, dark and menacing servant as ''Sabu'' (Sabu-chan). Assassin can barely do more lower his head in bewilderment and damn near ''begs'' her to stop.

* The fact that ''everyone'' aside from Boss and Tsuchimikado still want to get back to the Waxing Moon Ritual, not realizing that the Holy Grail (which many characters refrain from naming) ''isn't'' a ShoddyKnockoffProduct of the Waxing Moon, but rather the reverse. Tsuchimikado is the only outlier because he knew about the Holy Grail from the beginning and based the Waxing Moon off of it simply because [[ControlFreak he wanted a grail he could control]].
* Dorothea and Assassin's ending addresses a long-standing problem that mage families tend to have: [[StarvingArtist money]]. She takes a page out of [[VideoGame/FateGrandOrder Marisbury Animusphere's]] book and uses the Holy Grail to basically wish for ''funding'', and since her mage family's prosperity was what she set out to achieve in the first place, she ''completely blows off the Waxing Moon Ritual'' and spends her time going on treasure hunts with her crew and Assassin (who has now donned a ''pirate hat'').

* '''Everything''' about Ibuki-Douji. Especially when Tsuchimikado is involved. His dignity may never recover.

* Just the fact the DLC starts simply because Boss was bored and decided to use his authority as Ruler to change how the Waxing Moon Ritual will be fought... by turning it into a spectator tournament. Sure, there ''is'' other stuff going on behind the scenes, but this is definitely something a bored Gilgamesh would do.

** Tsuchimikado and Caster's ending. Ibuki-Douji "accidentally" uses the Holy Grail's leftover energy to let herself stay manifested. Not only does this use up Tsuchimikado's wish before he can cast it, but ''[[TheThingThatWouldNotLeave she shacks up with him]]'' under the pretends that she'll help him win the Waxing Moon Ritual... except she has no concept of subtlety and wanders around in her snake form in full view of everyone, playing merry hell with the longevity of mystics and generally ruining Tsuchimikado's schemes just by existing. BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor...

* Just the fact the DLC starts simply because Boss was bored and decided to use his authority as Ruler to change how the Waxing Moon Ritual will be fought... by turning it into a specator tournament. Sure, there IS other stuff going on behind the scenes, but it basically boils down to this.
* The Caster Team's story reveals that Tsuchimikado Yasuhiro was always planning to summon a Japanese Divine Spirit via Caster's Noble Phantasm to help him win the war, and his first choice: Ibuki-douji. Caster - the Man who actually wrote her legend - tells his Master this is a terrible idea, but he tries it anyway and triggers Boss's intervention. Tsuchimikado refuses to learn his lesson in the DLC when he gets another chance to contract her, and tries to have Caster bend the rules even more to have her summoned as his own Servant to fight in Boss's Tournament instead. This is despite Caster telling him repeatedly that it's a terrible idea, and even BOSS takes a moment to warn him about doing this, and yet Tsuchimikado persists even when it's clear Ibuki-douji is basically only humouring the man because she's interested in the current era of Japan, with the great punchline coming in their ending: he gets EXACTLY what he wished for and Ibuki-Douji is now freely wandering around Japan, completely flauntng the rules about not revealing magecraft secrets to the world by going around in public in her giant snake form buying literally everything she sees, and all he can do is watch it all happen powerlessly while Caster basically says that he DID warn him not to do this.
** Ibuki-Douji herself is the main source of humour, since her "I'm a Serious Goddess Threat that could be unleashed on the world" grace lasts about 10 seconds before she immedeatly shifts into her Grand Order personality, completely deflating the tension over her plot point. For example, Boss reveals he sealed her away by getting her SUPER drunk on some divine-grade wine from his treasure vault, she INSISTS that Assassin Kouga Saburou refers to her as "Big Sister" during their story due to their Orochi ties, and she likes Iori enough to manifest in the main story as a digression for him to recruit. Her wild and free-spirited nature also uses up most of the power in the Waxing Moon's wish energy, so anyone who wins can only really get a small wish granted after going though Boss's Tournament anyway.

* Foreshadowing for what's actually going on with Iori aside, Gilgamesh's JokeEnding would be hilarious on its own with him successfully tempting the protagonist to join his new campaign to conquer the world - strong-arming Saber in the process - but the credits that follow solely feature the three of them and their voice actors. [[ItsAllAboutMe That's it.]]

* Circe's Noble Phantasm is identical to the version seen in ''VideoGame/FateGrandOrder'', so it can be [[MoodWhiplash jarring]] to compare everyone else's Noble Phantasms to her relatively sillier looking one where she summons a hoard of cartoonish pigs that stampede towards a feast.

* Saber becomes enamored with seeing all the sights in Okachimachi and runs off on their own. By the time Iori catches up and chastises them for playing around when they're on a mission, Saber refutes they're not playing around [[IResembleThatRemark while wearing a festival mask on the side of their head]]. They then quickly proclaim they were just blending in with the locals.
