CHARACTER INFO
The summer form of the Goddess of Venus, Ishtar. After witnessing the enthusiasm of people during summer festivals and being moved by the peoples' devotion, she decided to host a great event of her own. She is truly a goddess among goddesses. Riding Maanna, the Boat of Heaven, which has been modified to look more modern, she is a kung fu goddess who nimbly and acrobatically darts around.
"Is everyone having fun!? Everything awesome!?
Yep, yep! Good, good!
Keep trying until you reach your limit!"
As you can see, she is quite friendly and so very generous. She is truly a benevolent goddess who blesses all in attendance of her event.
Behind that smile, what's REALLY going on in that head of hers?
BOND 1
Height: 159cm
Weight: 47kg
Origin: Ancient Mesopotamian Mythology
Region: Mesopotamia
Alignment: Lawful Good
Gender: Female
As usual, she's a goddess who floats around, never planting her feet firmly on the ground. Apparently, she's wearing a high-cut white swimsuit under that hoodie.
BOND 2
Ishtar is carefree yet elegant, bold yet cruel. But since she's dressed in modern clothes, her grandeur and terrifying divine aura have been somewhat…diminished. Her cheerfulness and generous nature have increased more than usual, and she's now more friendly.
Mastering a bit of martial arts here and there is just the sort of thing a goddess would do… Which is, of course, utter nonsense.
The only reason Ishtar knows kung fu is because the body of the vessel she inhabits trained extensively in both magecraft and martial arts.
This time around, Ishtar fights using a smattering of kung fu moves her vessel learned.
"Uruk Arts! That is not a thing."
…was the comment from the King while sunbathing atop the ziggurat.
BOND 3
『An Gal Ta Seven Colors』
Rank: EX
NP Type: Anti-Personnel Range: 0-???
Venus's Rainbow where the Divine Mountain Rotates around the Heavens.
As Maanna has turned into a much more modern mode of transport, its True Name has also been changed to sound modern.
A move that lets one enjoy summer with full force.
A rainbow Noble Phantasm that showers the earth after Ishtar rides her Maanna scooter around the world to visit various tourist spots and gets in a cheerful mood. Her happiness is converted to magical energy, which gets dispersed across the land.
Her costume change is also beautiful, and the magical energy that turns into shining stars is scattered around the earth to damage enemies.
Ishtar herself is feeling both overjoyed and fabulous, but the surface world is really getting shafted.
BOND 4
Riding: EX
Ishtar's ability to ride Maanna, the Boat of Heaven, makes her Riding skill completely different from anything a human might have.
Of course, different doesn't necessarily mean better… It's just astonishing in so many ways. Not caring the least bit about traveling through space and time is just Uruk-style driving.
Shining Water Robe: A
A skill that changes her great crown into a swimsuit.
The great crown was intended only for Ishtar, but everyone in the party gets one. In exchange, its strength is reduced.
Summer Breaker!: A
A goddess who destroys summer (in more ways than one).
A downer version of the skill Goddess Morph.
BOND 5
Archer Ishtar took off the stem portion of her Boat of Heaven to use it as an arrow. But this time around, she uses the Boat of Heaven's paddle to change it into a scooter and ride around on it. While it looks like a modern scooter, it performs like the vehicle of a proper goddess. It can fly and it can even warp.
There's an odd, mysterious creature moving around at Ishtar's feet, but whatever it is, she's not telling.
While she considers Master to be a hero of great potential since they saved Uruk, she is also very confused about how such an ordinary-looking person could be a hero. She thinks Master is a very, very strange human.
This time around, Ishtar took Master's popularity (as a person trusted by the other Servants) into consideration and hired them as a staff member for her Ishtar Cup race…
Clear Death Jail Summer Escape
Doesn't she know when to give up?
The summer festival, Ishtar cup.
It was actually a grand ritual meant to revive Ishtar's familiar, the Bull of Heaven, Gugalanna.
She lost Gugalanna the day the Mesopotamian world was struck by a great calamity, and her reputation was horribly tarnished by her mistake.
She must have vigilantly been waiting for an opportunity to redeem herself.
And finally, an opportunity presented itself. Honestly, doesn't she know when to give up?
Ishtar secretly "borrowed" precious ritual tools from Babylon's storehouse, and converted them into Holy Grails. With those powers, she set up an overlay of Venus across the land of Connacht and had powerful Heroic Spirits offer their power to the great land (read: race) so that Gugalanna could be created once again. Or at least that was the plan.
That was why the Shrine of Ishtar was converted into a giant magical energy resource integrated circuit. The Ishtar QPS (Quantum Piece System) would suck up magical energy from humans and even from Heroic Spirits and make it all its own…which mdae it the collection device from hell. The more QP it stored, the more Ishtar's rank of Divinity would go up. A truly wicked scheme.
CHARACTER INFO
金星の女神イシュタル、夏の姿。
夏の祭典という人々の熱狂……
信仰心に心を打たれ、一大イベントを開催した、
まさに女神のような女神。
現代風にアレンジした天舟マアンナを駆り、
軽快に、そして痛快に肉体を駆使する
カンフー系女神でもある。
「みんな、楽しんでる~~!? 最高~~?
うんうん、良きかな良きかな!
もっともっと、限界まで頑張ってね~!」
このように、愛想よく気前よく、会場に集まった
全ての者を祝福するまさに女神の中の女神。
その笑顔の裏に有るものは、はたして。
BOND 1
身長/体重:159cm・47kg
出典:古代メソポタミア神話
地域:メソポタミア
属性:秩序・善 性別:女性
相変わらずふわふわと地に足のつかない女神。パーカーの下は白のハイレグ水着なんだって。
BOND 2
自由奔放、優雅で大胆、そして残酷という女神イシュタルだが、現代服になっているため女神としての気位の高さ・怖さはちょっとだけ緩和されている。陽気さと寛大さが普段よりアップし、フレンドリーに。
女神たるもの、格闘技の一つや二つは修得しているのが当たり前……という訳ではもちろんなく。
イシュタルがここまで巧みに動けるのは依り代になった肉体が魔術も格闘技もしっかり修得していたからである。
肉体が修得していたカンフーをイシュタル風にアレンジしたものが今回のバトルスタイル。
「ウルクアーツ! そういうのもあるのか」
とはジグラットの上で日光浴をしていた王様からのコメント。
BOND 3
『神峰天廻る明星の虹』
ランク:EX 種別:対人宝具 レンジ:0~??
しんぽうめぐるみょうじょうのにじ。
アンガルタ・セブンカラーズ。
マアンナが現代風の乗り物になっているため、真名も現代風にコンバートされている。
夏を全力で満喫するスタイル。
マアンナスクーターに乗り、地球の様々なリゾートを観光してご機嫌になり、そのハッピーな気持ちを魔力に変換して地上にふりまくという虹の宝具。
衣装替えも見目麗しく、地上に降り注ぐ魔力は輝く星となって敵にダメージを与える。
本人はとてもハッピーかつファビュラスな雰囲気だが、地上はほんと大迷惑。
BOND 4
○騎乗:EX
天舟アマンナを乗りこなすイシュタルの騎乗スキルは人間とは次元の違う、別格のものである。
無論、『別格』だからといって人間より『上手い・速い』という訳ではない。とにかく『いろんな意味で凄い』のである。時間とか空間とかもうあんまり気にしていないウルクドライブ。
○輝ける水の衣:A
大王冠を水着に替えたスキル。
大王冠はイシュタル本人にのみ作用するものだったが、こちらはパーティ全員に行き渡る。そのかわり出力は低い。
○サマー・ブレイカー!:A
夏を(いろんな意味で)破壊する女神。
「女神変生」のダウン版。
BOND 5
アーチャーのイシュタルが使う弓は天舟マアンナの船首部分を取り外したものであるが、今回は天舟の「櫂」の部分をスクーターに変化させ、乗り物としている。スクーターは現代のスクーターそのものの外見だが、とうぜん、性能は女神クラス。空も飛ぶしワープもする。
イシュタルの足元には謎の生物がもそもそと動いているが、イシュタルはこの生物に関してはノー・コメントを貫いている。
ウルクを救ったマスターを将来有望な勇者として目をつけているものの、「なんでこんな平凡なのが勇者になるんだろう?」と首をかしげる事もあるとか。不思議な人間、と捉えている。
今回はその人望(サーヴァントたちに信頼されている)を見込んで彼/彼女をイシュタルカップのスタッフに雇用するが……?
???
懲りるという事を知らないのか。
夏の祭典、イシュタルカップ。
それはイシュタルの持つ使い魔・天の牡牛グガランナを復活させる為の大儀式だった。
メソポタミア世界を襲った災害の日にグガランナを無くし、面目を丸つぶれにされたイシュタルは虎視眈々とリベンジの時を待っていたのだろう。
そして、その結果が今回のこれである。
もう一度言うぞ。懲りるという事を知らないのか。
女神イシュタルはバビロンの蔵からこっそり拝借した貴重な祭具を聖杯に変換し、その力でコノートの土地に金星のテクスチャを張り、力ある英霊たちが大地に感謝を捧げる(レースをする)事でグガランナをもう一度作ろうと目論んだ。
イシュタル神殿を巨大な魔力リソース集積回路に作り替えたのもその一環。イシュタルQPS(クォンタムピース・パワー・システム)は人々はおろか英霊たちからも魔力を吸い上げ、自らのものとする悪夢の集金装置である。QPが溜まれば溜まるほどイシュタルの神格がアップしていく。その所業、まさに邪神の中の邪神。
CHARACTER INFO
Ishtar, Goddess of Venus, in summer garb.
A summer festival is a state of popular frenzy......
Truly a goddess-like goddess, she organized a grand event after being moved by the people's piety.
She's also a kungfu-style goddess who moves her body nimbly and thrillingly, and burns rubber on her modernized Heavenly Boat Maanna.
"Is everyone having fun!? Best time ever?
Great, splendid, splendid!
Keep going, reach those limits!"
Truly a goddess among goddesses who graciously and generously blesses all those gathered at the venue.
What is that smile really hiding?
BOND 1
Height: 159cm
Weight: 47kg
Origin: Ancient Mesopotamian Mythology
Region: Mesopotamia
Alignment: Lawful Good
Gender: Female
As always, a goddess whose feet don't quite touch the ground. The hoodie apparently covers a white high-leg swimsuit.
BOND 2
Goddess Ishtar is a free sprit, elegant, audacious, and rather cruel. Yet the present-day outfit mitigates slightly her divine nobility and terrifyingness. Merrier and more magnanimous than usual, she's friendly.
Anyone who calls herself a goddess is expected to have mastered one or two martial arts...... is obviously not a thing.
The reason Ishtar can move so adroitly is that the body she occupied was quite adept at both magic and martial arts.
Her current fighting style is her own unique spin on the kungfu learnt by the body.
"An Uruk Art! Is there such a thing?"
Thus comments the king sun-bathing atop the Ziggurat.
BOND 3
"Venusian Rainbow Traversing Ekur"
Rank: EX / Classification: Anti-Personnel / Range: 0–??
An Gal Tā ・ Seven Colors
As Maanna has become a present-day vehicle, the True Name has similarly been converted to a present-day format.
She's set to enjoy summer to the fullest with all that she can muster.
This iridian Noble Phantasm allows Ishtar to raise her spirits by going sightseeing at resorts all over the world on her Maanna Scooter, convert those happy feelings into magical energy, and let it rain down on the earth.
Her seasonal outfit easy on the eye, the magical energy pouring down on the earth turns into glittering stars that damage enemies.
Ishtar herself feels all happy and fabulous, but it really is a great nuisance to the earth below.
BOND 4
○Riding: EX
Ishtar, who manages the Heavenly Boat Maanna, possesses a riding skill that is on a different level and of a different order from that of humans.
Of course, "different order" doesn't mean she is "more skillful or faster" than humans. In any case, she's "amazing in all kinds of ways." She does the Uruku drive without much regard for time and space.
○Shining Water Robe: A
A skill that changes the Brilliant Crown for a swimsuit.
While the Brilliant Crown only affects Ishtar herself, this one benefits the whole party. In exchange, the output is lower.
○Summer Breaker!: A
This goddess breaks summer (in more ways than one).
A downgraded version of "Goddess Morph."
BOND 5
The bow used by Ishtar in her Archer form is the detached prow of the Heavenly Boat Maanna, but this time she has transformed the "oars" of the Heavenly Boat into a scooter that she rides. The scooter has the exact appearance of a modern-day scooter, but its abilities are naturally goddess-tier. It flies high and it goes to warp. There's a mysterious creature fidgeting about around Ishtar's ankles, but she consistently declines to comment on it.
Although Ishtar takes an interest in her Master for being a hero with a promising future, she says she's sometimes puzzled, wondering "How come such an average J turned out a hero?" She thinks of her Master as a curious human.
It's because she appreciates her Master's popularity (having the trust of other Servants) that she hires him/her as a staff member for the current Ishtar Cup, but......?
