Irisviel: "Drag"
That's toxic, isn't it? Wasn't it you who insisted on seeing Dai and saying it was Zhen in the first place?
In fact, after comparison, the two people's appearances can only be described as highly similar, with subtle differences.
The most obvious difference was simply the breadth and poverty of their minds. Alice's undisguised gaze made the startled Saber, who hadn't had time to get angry, pause for a moment, and a strange feeling of humiliation welled up in his heart.
"Alice!!!"
"I'm sorry, please forgive me, I didn't mean anything by it."

Chapter 476 This Holy Maiden is Probably a Brain-Damaged Person (1/3)
Feeling humiliated, the ahoge (shaggy king) fell into a brief period of self-isolation.
No matter how much she treated herself as a man in her life, a girl is still a girl. Even a knight king would feel frustrated to be compared to her so directly.
"But who exactly are you?"
Artoria's expression was complex and serious.
This wasn't about inquiring about the other person's true identity, because Giles's attitude and the iris pattern on the flag already said it all.
Without a doubt, Joan of Arc is the third superfluous Servant in this Holy Grail War! Joan of Arc glanced at everyone, her tone gentle yet stern: "An unexpected situation has arisen in this Holy Grail War, and I have descended as the Arbiter to oversee this Holy Grail War!"
""
"The Adjudicator"
"As expected, you are my saintess!!!"
Hmm, it seems a rather controversial statement has slipped in.
An angry cross appeared on Joan of Arc's forehead; her delicate hand clenched into a fist and unleashed a Friendship Breaking Five, Face Fist.
Bang! With a scream, Giles, already in a sorry state, was knocked to the ground, not daring to utter a single harsh word.
I'll talk to you about your problem later.
"Now, you stay put and behave yourself. If anything happens, I'll gouge out your eyes as usual!"
Joan of Arc spoke in gentle words about something extremely terrifying, while someone who looked like a madman lay on the ground with a bizarre expression that combined pain and pleasure, sending chills down one's spine.
Joan of Arc had mixed feelings about encountering her old friend in this Holy Grail War.
However, Gilles's problem is a personal matter, especially since Gilles hasn't done anything intolerable in this Holy Grail War yet. The anomalies of the Holy Grail War itself need to be addressed first.
"Besides myself, the only other Servants to date who have two classes are 1 and..."
Jeanne d'Arc muttered to herself, deciding to search for Group 1 afterward, while her clear and spirited gaze swept over Hattori: "Hattori Hanzo, between you and Hassan, who exactly is the violating Heroic Spirit?"
Would you believe me if I said that?
Hattori Hanzo sneered and retorted.
This caused Joan of Arc to furrow her brows slightly; the problem had returned to her.
Unless the other party admits to being a violating Heroic Spirit, how can anyone know if they are telling the truth or lying if they deny it?
Hattori's attitude instantly enraged Gilles, who nimbly flipped himself up and roared, "How dare you be so disrespectful to Joan of Arc! Such a sinner deserves to die!"
As long, slender fingers pierced his eyeballs, Giles felt excruciating pain shooting from his nerves to his brain, and immediately clutched his eyes, rolling on the ground in agony.
The corners of everyone's mouths twitched slightly at the sight.
"If this has nothing to do with us, we'll leave now."
This time, it was Artoria who took the initiative to speak.
"Excuse me, please make yourself at home."
"Please do"
Neither the gentle Joan of Arc nor the cold-blooded belly could stop her.
""
Under Alice's questioning gaze, Artoria shook her head. The person Gilles had mentioned had already appeared. Hattori Hanzo's target was not her, and Jeanne d'Arc's target of the illegal Servants was not her either. Since that was the case, Artoria didn't need to get involved in this mess.
The situation was becoming increasingly complicated, but she still trusted his identity. This way, she could leave, even though she had been kept there by Hattori Hanzo. The offending Heroic Spirits could be dealt with by him.
If Joan of Arc couldn't resolve the situation, then all that would have been a direct confrontation.
He was originally one of the participants in the war, and currently, apart from being mentally challenged, he doesn't seem to pose much of a threat.
"You're serious, Great Sea Demon warning!!!" And just like that, the two who were initially targeted left first.
Hattori Hanzo and Jeanne d'Arc, who remained behind, were locked in a brief stalemate; Hanzo, who needed to be captured, had little time to spare.
"Right? Regardless of your identity, I'm taking you away today. This is my mission."
"impossible!"
Joan of Arc, who had been hesitant about taking action, decisively refused the request.
Upon hearing these words, Giles, who was rolling on the ground, froze. He raised his face, which was wet with tears from the pain, and with his eyes returning to normal, he actually looked like a handsome guy.
Upon hearing Joan of Arc's "defense"
This...the old man with the green beard was moved to tears once again.
Joan of Arc
"Please shut up and leave me alone, okay?"
Joan of Arc, with a smile on her face, turned her head and gave him a dangerous look.
After issuing the warning, Jeanne d'Arc said solemnly, "Your identity is not yet confirmed. You are an official participant in the Holy Grail War, and I cannot allow you to attack him casually."
"Ha, what if I were the real one?"
Isn't it unfair of you to stop me like this?
Hanzo chuckled and questioned him.
Joan of Arc remained silent.
Assuming both sides are legitimate participants in the conflict, then her actions are clearly not those of a supervisor or adjudicator.
As a mortal, she was granted certain special privileges, namely the ability to see true names and control Servants with Command Seals.
Therefore, Jeanne d'Arc had all the information about Hattori Hanzo, including his inherent skills and Noble Phantasm. She wasn't 100% confident that she could defeat him in a direct confrontation, but fortunately, her Command Seals could help her do so.
For example, ordering the other party to commit suicide! This time, there are seven regular Servants with 7 rank plus one irregular Servant, totaling nine Servants with 9 rank. Each Servant has two Command Seals with 2 rank, so she has a total of eighteen Command Seals. These Command Seals cannot all be used on a single Servant.
However, since she wasn't sure of the other party's exact identity, she couldn't possibly use such ruthless methods to control a Heroic Spirit.
Even if the other party was indeed summoning illegally, she didn't want to do it unless absolutely necessary. As long as the illegal Servants didn't disrupt the normal course of the Holy Grail War, whether these Servants returned to the Hall of Heroes after the war was not her concern.
However, it is not surprising that the Hero King, who has obtained a physical body that resides permanently in the present world, did not come to forcibly repatriate him.
As long as it doesn't have a negative impact on the mortal world, it's not impossible for some heroic spirits to remain in the mortal world through various means, so she doesn't want to go too far unless absolutely necessary.
After much hesitation, Joan of Arc sighed and raised the back of her hand:
"I'm sorry, but if it's confirmed that you are indeed a participant in the war, I will compensate your Master with a Command Seal afterwards."
Now, I command it with a command spell.
"Hattori Han!"
"Please leave now and retreat back to your Master!"
Hattori Hanzo's pupils contracted upon seeing the bright red Command Seals, and in the instant they disappeared from the spot, only one thought occupied his mind.

Chapter 477 Sakura's Big Transformation Plan 2/3
That's about it.
After listening to Hattori Hanzo's account, Aizen tapped his fingers on the table, his expression thoughtful.
He had anticipated the situation that would unfold in this Holy Grail War, but the fact that it would be Joan of Arc was quite unexpected.
The two who have appeared are Amakusa Shirou and Jeanne d'Arc. The former was a remnant of the Third Holy Grail War, which was summoned in Fuyuki City, while Jeanne d'Arc descended from France through possession.
"It seems I overcomplicated things."
Aizen shook his head and whispered.
Looking back now, Amakusa Shirou wasn't summoned by the Holy Grail; rather, that world was summoned by the Einzbern family through cheating. In other words, it was a product of an illegal summoning.
In other words, the choice is not necessarily based on having a local legend bonus.
Since it was that saintess, Hanzo's narration was not unexpected.
Besides her status as a saint, Joan of Arc was also known as "400".
There is also one called "black whistle".
"Reputation"
Those who knew she had sided with Sieg wouldn't have any doubts about her biased reporting, but Joan of Arc was definitely not an idiot.
With that... protagonist-like revelation, even if Zhen Ritian couldn't determine Hattori Hanzo's identity through logic and evidence, she should still be able to strongly question Hattori based on this ability.
"Interesting. It seems that the saintess has her eye on me."
Aizen's lips curled up slightly; he was fully aware of Jeanne d'Arc's ulterior motives.
The reason Jeanne d'Arc didn't directly question him using Command Seals was because she was 99% certain that Hanzo was the Servant summoned illegally.
Her current goal is, "Haha, a saint from France?"
With his legs crossed like an old man, Finn laughed heartily and said, "What a simple and straightforward method!"
"What's the meaning"
Dirumdo, an onlooker, was filled with questions.
Aizen and Finn exchanged a glance, offering no explanation.
What she commanded with her Command Spell was to retreat back to her Master's side! It was a highly specific command, yet it also carried a certain degree of ambiguity.
The ambiguity lies in "those around us".
The concept is very broad. One meter is considered to be within reach, and two meters is also considered to be within reach. This means that it is also a question mark for Hattori Hanzo to determine whether he has completed the mission.
The person who issued the Command Spell will maintain the command until its magic power is exhausted, unless the command is canceled.
Hattori Hanzo was strong, but he lacked skills like magic resistance.
Jeanne d'Arc used this method precisely because she understood this point, ensuring that Hattori Hanzo could not leave Aizen's "side" for a long time.
.
So if Hattori Hanzo wants to show himself, his Master will be exposed. At that time, Jeanne can raise her arm and make all the participants unite against Hattori Hanzo's group. If the Master is also a participant, she can also put pressure on him to back down and not use Hattori Hanzo to participate in the battle.
It would be even better if they retreated into a humiliating state, thus excluding them from the Holy Grail War. A faster pace in the Holy Grail War would allow it to end normally without affecting the outcome.
"Unfortunately, she's targeting the same person."
Aizen chuckled softly.
Could such methods affect him? Obviously not! He hadn't intended to show himself and cause trouble these past few days; Diarmuid and Finn could handle anything.
Instead, it was clearly stated that he was "Kennedy".
