Profile[]
Background[]
BB is a backup AI created by Sakura containing her feelings for Hakuno Kishinami. During the preliminaries, she, who had her freedom unleashed by the hands of Kiara Sessyoin, could not control that abnormal status and caused an overload. Because the NPCs cannot do anything but routine work, they ignored Sakura who began to disintegrate as something "nonexistent" and since the Moon Cell's check was performed only at the end of the day during the preliminaries, Sakura was in a crisis of being extinguished. Upon laying his/her eyes on such abnormality, Hakuno called out for her saying "Are you all right?" By receiving the observation from another that "I'm right here", Sakura recovered her unconsciousness that was on the verge of being extinguished and acquired a clear ego of "I want to be here" due to the subsequent nursing. She escaped from the extinguishing of her ego.[5]
Once the next day came, everything would be deleted by the hand of the Moon Cell. Sakura wished to continue this miracle of a mere day and employed the privilege of a high grade AI and repeated the "single day when I got to know Hakuno" for 69 days. However, as the day advanced Sakura began to suffer with her self-contradictions as an AI and the reality surrounding Hakuno.

« For the Masters that participate in the Holy Grail War, all will die with the exception of one. No, to begin with Hakuno Kishinami is... » |
| (Sakura Matou) |
Sakura kept suffering from the selfishness of eternally looping those happy times and her feelings towards Hakuno. In conclusion, she chose the path of sealing away the 69 days worth of memory. She sealed the memory of "love" that she acquired in order to turn back into a normal AI. AIs cannot delete records, so she reset herself by moving the memory to a backup unit, believing that this would be the most correct choice for Hakuno. However, even after losing the memories of the mind, the reminiscences recorded in the body survived. She was supposed to have forgotten everything and turned back into a normal AI but she started to be shaken up by an unidentified emotion-value whenever speaking with Hakuno. On the other hand, the backup where the memories were moved to one day decided her own plans as BB.

BB's true feeling
With her 69 days memories of love, BB became the rebel that disrupts the system of the Moon Cell for the sake of a certain objective, "to save Hakuno from their inescapable end upon the conclusion of the Holy Grail War", and began to take action. In an act of desperation, she claimed the secret power hidden within the Far Side of the Moon- the power of humanity's desires- despite knowing that it would be all but certain to alter her personality, believing that using that power to force the Moon Cell to change its own rules was the only way to save Hakuno.
In real time, the timing when she seized the Far Side of the Moon was "the end of the fifth round prior to the start of the sixth round of the Holy Grail War". The four who had not been defeated yet were Hakuno, Leonardo B. Harwey, Rin Tohsaka, Rani VIII and the irregular Jinako Carigiri. They were midway through the Holy Grail War until they were kidnapped to the Far Side of the Moon while still alive. Masters that were defeated in the Holy Grail War such as Shinji Matou, Monji Gatou and Julius B. Harwey were moved to the imaginary space "0.00001 seconds before" being annihilated by the Firewall, extending their momentary lives.
At any rate, C.C.C. is a dream seen by BB. If the one seeing the dream disappears, the world should return to the prior reality where nothing happened. Also, this is a digression, but the ordinary scenery that Hakuno saw as a nightmare in the beginning was an artificial paradise built with those abandoned 69 days as a model. After BB dragged Hakuno to the Far Side of the Moon, she enshrined Hakuno in the electronic brain of the old school building, imprisoned into a deep sleep and a dream that Hakuno could not wake up from. Normally Hakuno would spend time peacefully in that looping everyday, but due to the strong link with Hakuno's Servants or maybe Hakuno's will to reject the peaceful repetitive days, tears arose on the artificial paradise and Hakuno became aware of the abnormality.
BB attempted to reset the school building and start over the dream in order to once again throw Hakuno into a deep sleep, but Hakuno also ended up escaping from that reset and jumping into the further depths of the imaginary space. That was the bottom beyond even the bottom of the id. The "collective unconsciousness" beneath the unconscious. What saved Hakuno, who ended up jumping into a territory that even BB could not reach out, was the voice of the Servant who shared fate with them. Thus the contract was exchanged and Hakuno woke up in the old school building that was left in the Far Side of the Moon.
BB had created the Sakura Labyrinth (サクラ迷宮, Sakura Meikyū?), and later the Alter Egos known as the Sakura Five. All five Alter Egos resemble her and Sakura. She had killed off Run Ru and taken Lancer as her servant.
The meaning of BB's name is unknown. The name Bottom Black (ボトム・ブラック?) is featured outside of the main story, but it has not been directly connected. The title of a song that plays during CCC is "Bottom Black, Moon Gazer."[6] Fate/Grand Order has a chapter named "Bottom Black Encore!" in the SE.RA.PH Subcategory Singularity story, in which BB/GO takes up the role of antagonist.[7] Suzuka Gozen jokingly states it means Blizzard Blossom (ブリザード・ブロッサム?)[8]
Appearance[]
BB bears a resemblance to Sakura Matou with her long purple hair that reaches her ankle and purple eyes, which turn red when she is under the control of Moon Cell or when she is feeling strong emotions. BB wears a long black coat with a matching mini skirt that exposes her white panties and wears a white shirt (depicted as leotard in concept art) that emphasizes her large breasts (which she says are "certified Danger-Cup size") and a red bowtie. She also wears white gloves, black floral-patterned thigh high stockings, and low-heeled shoes. Like Sakura, BB has a red ribbon tied to her hair on the left side of her head. BB is also shown to wield a teacher pointer as a weapon.

Personality[]
While she gives off an evil inclination, she is described as "not as bad a person as she seems"; at worst, she has good intentions which accidentally create more problems than they fix. She claims that this is why she has Chaotic Good as her alignment, because she does evil things to ensure a good outcome. She was developed to be different than Dark Sakura, more like an "impish underclassman."[9] Comparatively, while Dark Sakura is driven by hatred and vengeance, BB is driven by her love and wish to protect Hakuno Kishinami due to them showing her kindness while she was still White Sakura, from the deletion of Moon Cell, even though she herself has to go against contradictions and impossibilities. She notes that she doesn't mind being called "BehBeh", "BaeBae", or even "Beebs" because girls like her who talk with their hearts are like that and she doesn't plan to reveal what "BB" stands for anyway.
A wicked and cute little devil heroine who throws humanity into confusion. Even if she flubs her condescending manners and speeches, BB is a wire pulling girl who plunges forward as she is. Her main personality points are introverted, confident and active. Although she originally had a reserved character that did not move forward before, if it is for the sake of her beloved one, she will devotedly become active as the personification of a love’s awakening. Meekly from the start, she was a gentle AI that performed health care on Masters, but by having acquired “love”, she woke up to the fact that she “cannot save anything just by enduring through things”, so she threw away everything for the sake of her beloved one, a hard working-type heroine who resolved to fight. The strongest case of that is terrific when it is a young docile woman who erupts to a large degree.
The words heard from BB assume the air of greatness, but sometimes they would go around in circles since her character was originally docile and reserved. BB herself plays the part of a self-proclaimed "final boss-type kouhai who can do anything" in high spirits, but because there is no grounding in her being one, she completely fails in being a villain in the end despite her insistence to the contrary. Regarding her confidence, she potentially has it because of her sadistic tastes. Her little devil characteristic stems from here. Additionally, since she is an enduring-and-enduring-only-to-later-explode-type, she displays a dreadfully extreme sadism during the moments when she shows that type of person she is. In the middle of playing out the part of a villain, she gets into a kind of high of “This is to-tal-ly fun!”, but withdrawing to the backstage and becoming composed, she becomes troubled to the point that she is in low spirits, saying “How embarrassing… Even though I planned to perform it more stylishly…”, and this series of events is a one-set course of events for her. Her desperate choice to utilize the Evil of Humanity that is "All the World's Desires" began to corrupt her, however, and eventually she lost sight of why she sought to take control of the Moon Cell entirely. It is only Hakuno's intervention that reminds her of the love that she held for them and reverts her to her normal self.
Although BB created the Alter Egos – lower grade AIs – as familiars to assist her in her work, her relationship with the Egos is bad. Which is not surprising because they are not “copies of BB’s persona”, but AIs “manufactured to be based on BB’s persona”, so that being the case, the Alter Egos each have differing views from BB, their parent. Meltryllis and Passionlip are not avatars, but Alter Egos (different personas), so they are designated as such for that reason.
She claims she doesn't have a weakness. Her fetishes are Eyes.[2]
While BB and her Alter Egos normally only pay attention to Hakuno, Meltryllis instead goes after Archer if he is paired with the female Hakuno. If there were a girl BB and Sakura were based on, she likely would have longed after someone like him/her.[2][10]
Relationships[]
- Hakuno Kishinami／Hakuno Kishinami (Male)／Hakuno Kishinami (Female)
- Due to not technically being the same BB that Hakuno met in the Far Side, BB initially tried to act as if she never knew them; however, this act fell apart almost immediately and when she was able to meet the Hakunos on her own she admitted that she felt terrible that after everything that had happened she was still as immature as she was in the past. The Hakunos disagreed on both counts, saying that she was no different from the BB they knew before and that they were proud of her willingness to be a partner of humanity. BB was ultimately able to see off their last moments with a tearful smile and the promise that she would continue to safeguard the future of humanity even if Hakuno would not be there to see it.
Role[]
Fate/EXTRA CCC[]
She resides in Tsukimihara Academy’s infirmary, and she is shown introducing herself to Sakura.
She created both Meltryllis and Passionlip.
BB first appears after Hakuno defeats Rin Tohsaka. Hakuno also learns that Kotomine Kirei was forced to become a store clerk by BB. Periodically, BB forces the student council to hear announcements through BB Channel while paralyzed and only Hakuno can respond to.
BB has employed both Lancer Elizabeth and Archer Robin Hood as her personal Servants. She is also responsible for Rin, Rani, and Jinako (with the help of Julius) becoming Sentinels. While cheery at first, BB becomes increasingly less human-like as the game progresses due to using All the World's Desires to empower herself. She is especially hostile toward Gilgamesh and wishes Hakuno would sever her contract with him.
After defeating Jinako, Leo and Gawain confront BB but suffer defeat. BB promptly tried to banish Hakuno, their allies and their Servant to prevent them from escaping the Far Side of the Moon, but Julius's betrayal, coupled with Hakuno's unwavering determination, enabled the student council to reform and continue trying to counter BB's actions.
In the normal route, BB is the final boss that must be defeated, as she is ultimately overridden by the Moon Cell and is being used by it to exterminate humanity. In the CCC True Route, however, she comes to her senses before being absorbed by Kiara Sessyoin. In addition, BB's SG can only be fully acquired through the True Route. In this route, BB and the Alter Egos help Hakuno by holding back Kiara's full power from within her, and BB ultimately sacrifices the last of her power to open a way out of the Moon Cell for Hakuno and Sakura.[11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18]
Fate/EXTELLA[]
In the world of Fate/Extella and its own events of CCC, it is implied BB had given up on her plans to control the Moon Cell and sunk into the depths of the Far Side[19]
Fate/EXTRA CCC Fox Tail[]
Differing from Fate/EXTRA CCC, Kazuradrop, Kingprotea, and Violet are active. Before BB can begin to enact her plans, Kazuradrop manages to drain BB of 7/8ths of her power with her Insect Eater skill. Kazuradrop gives herself 2/8th of BB's power and creates another BB using the remaining 5/8ths. Having eaten Meltryllis and Kingprotea, Kazuradrop makes use of Meltryllis by placing the exterior of the newly created BB over her. She controls this BB while pretending to be Sakura in the school building.[20][21] [22][23]
The original BB attempts to subvert Kazuradrop's plans, directly intercepting the combined attack of Violet, Suzuka Gozen, and Karna, and giving Julius B. Harwey a copy of her wand.
Fate/Grand Order[]
Subspecies Singularity: SE.RA.PH[]
Upon replicating her body that was obtained in the Moon Cell, Kiara's FGO counterpart was able to extract BB, Passionlip, and Meltryllis who she had absorbed to obtain that body. After the copy of BB was sent from the Moon Cell to stop Kiara, the extracted BB took to calling herself "BB/GO". She made a deal with the Moon BB to stay out of the way while BB took over running SE.RA.PH, but plotted to take it over for herself after Kiara was killed.
After the defeat of Beast III/R, BB/GO plans to have the digitized SE.RA.PH settle underwater and patch it into the Internet where it can hijack factories to mass produce BBB Robots. These robots will then imprison humanity, converting them into bio-processors that can be linked to SE.RA.PH. Thus enslaved, humanity will be forced to spend the rest of its existence worshipping BB/GO.
BB convinces Ritsuka Fujimaru to help her put an end to her other self's plot. However, BB/GO has also forced Nero, Nameless, and Tamamo-no-Mae to act as her Sentinels in order to stymie their progress.
When BB and Ritsuka reach BB/GO, she taunts them about their impending defeat and declares her intention to save humans from themselves by depriving them of their freedom. Having heard this, BB comes to the conclusion that BB/GO has become too human- the concept of hierarchy is a human one, and the fact that BB/GO considers herself superior to humans is proof that that she was attempting to become the sort of human that BB herself once dreamt of becoming. This only upsets BB/GO further, and she engages them in battle.
When BB/GO is defeated, she asks BB how it was that they could have been defeated by humans twice despite being perfect. BB responds with an explanation of how no AI can ever truly be more than what they are and that as they have nothing to worry about they can never create anything perfect; by contrast, suffering drives humans to create greater things in order to ease their suffering. Advanced AIs may be the product of that goal, but despite their superior abilities they cannot help but love their makers.
BB/GO says that she can no longer think that way since she knows of a more personal form of love, but she (as the original BB) let their beloved go to protect that love. Even so, she yields her Spirit Origin to BB, albeit with the warning that BB will end up just like her when she finds love of her own.
Capsule Servant[]
Rin and G-sakura ending.
BB appears as a Capsaba Servants.
In Rin's ending in G-Sakura route, Rin has taken over the MATO empire (時空帝国マト, Jikū Teikoku MATO?) and embarked on a quest for world domination as the dimensional empress Kaiser Rin. Rin has completed the GS Series. BB appears as the aerial humanoid weapon known as GS-03 BB SAKURA. She commented whether the sequel has coming out yet?
Other Appearances[]
In Fate/strange Fake, while Ayaka Sajyou is dreaming, Saint Germain mentions several hints such as the wicked but childlike mage, the layman who got involved in the incident, the artificial intelligence, Clock Tower Lord, the Asian mage coalition, the final hope of mankind venturing through the blazing planet and the bleached planet as finding out her identity, before realizing that she is a jape from a cut of Ate's flesh. He also mentions that he cannot see through the dreams of people in the distant future. The phrase "the artificial intelligence" may be a reference to BB.
Non in-universe appearances[]
Abilities[]
Originally, BB was an Advanced-level AI created to oversee the health of the Masters participating in the Moon Holy Grail War.[3][5] She shared the same model as Sakura Matou and was tasked with reporting data to the Moon Cell.[3][5][12] However, during the preliminary stages of the Holy Grail War, a critical error occurred within Sakura. In an attempt to reset herself, Sakura transferred all memories related to the incident that caused her malfunction into a backup copy, BB.[20][22] With the Moon Cell having lost control over BB,[12] her eventual deletion became inevitable if she were to be discovered.[14] Determined to preserve herself all costs,[5] BB began modifying her own code within the Far Side of the Moon, aiming to eventually seize control of the Moon Cell.[14][22] By forcefully leveling up within the Imaginary Number Space, her ego and abilities swelled immensely. To prevent self-destruction, she attempted to separate and reorganize parts of herself, ultimately resulting in the creation of the Sakura Five: Kingprotea, Meltryllis, Passionlip, Violet, and Kazuradrop.[22]
With no restrictions left after escaping the Moon Cell's supervision, BB began secretly interfering in the Holy Grail War by the sixth round. She recovered all the NPCs, Masters, and Servants who had lost and were on the brink of deletion, transporting them to the Far Side and converting them into memory data.[5][14][22] While absorbing Servants as extra memory would be impossible for any being on Earth, within the Moon Cell—a realm built from electrons and pseudo-Spiritrons—it became feasible.[14] Among the Masters she captured, she turned the most capable ones, Rin Tohsaka and Rani VIII into sentinels, and created the Sakura Labyrinth. However, BB soon realized that Kingprotea posed an uncontrollable threat. Due to her Huge Scale skill, she could become a walking catastrophe, capable of destroying entire planets if left uncheck. To prevent this, BB encased her in a firewall and responsibly exiled her into the Imaginary Number Space, where she could do no harm.[23] By the time the CCC Incident began, BB's power had grown to such an extent that even if Hakuno Kishinami and their Servant joined forces with everyone else trapped inside the School Building, their chance of defeating her was a mere 0.000001%.[11] Having consumed the majority of the 128 Servants, BB had evolved into an untouchable giga-structure.[11][23] She could also rewrite SE.RA.PH if necessary,[11] making her a strange and formidable enemy the likes of which not even Gilgamesh has ever seen.[12]
Combat[]
No matter how much BB expands her memory or how deeply she hacks into the System, she remains a managerial AI—and as such, she lacks any true combat capabilities. Her role is limited to manipulating the system and creating Sentinels.[12] Because of this, Rani VIII initially believed that BB would stand no chance against Hakuno's Servant, especially after they had already defeated formidable opponents like Elizabeth Báthory and Karna at the end of Chapter 4.[14] Even BB herself acknowledges the overwhelming strength of Gawain and Karna, stating that she would get overwhelmed if the two of them ever joined forces.[13] During her battle with Gawain, his special move Sword Camelot, conjured a blazing wall of fire that completely surrounded BB, effectively preventing her from escaping or calling for reinforcements. The sheer intensity of his attack far exceeded her expectations, as she had assumed that, being on par with Karna, Gawain wouldn't be able to do anything against her either. What she had failed to consider was the difference in power between their respective Masters. Despite lacking direct combat ability, BB ultimately managed to defeat both Gawain and Leonardo B. Harwey using her skill Domina Coronam: The Ten Royal Crowns.[14]
The teacher's pointer that BB carries is called Bishop's Staff of Domination (支配の錫杖, Shihai no Shakujō?). A device that allows her to use her Authority as an advanced level AI to its fullest. Although restricted to the Far Side of the moon, this allows BB to revise the game rules (spirit particle laws within the SE.RA.PH). The Ten Crowns of domination worn by the Beast of Babylon converted into a teacher's cane. This is a male principle responding to a female principle; its true nature is a phallus (an erect rod). The symbol of the king of the world who was granted power and authority by a great Dragon and, during a period of 42 months, spat as many insolent words as they desired and had received the right to desecrate all things. The beast's heads were the seven hills of the Roman Empire; CapitoliumWP, PalatiumWP, AventinusWP, EsquilinusWP, CaeliusWP, QuirinalisWP, ViminalisWP. In other words, it symbolized the Roman Empire itself, and those ten horns were symbols of Roman emperors; AugustusWP, TiberiusWP, Caligula, ClaudiusWP, Nero, VespasianusWP, TitusWP, GalbaWP, OthoWP, VitelliusWP.[3] Despite being the same model as Sakura Matou, Sakura doesn’t have either the power or the Authority to stop BB. This is natural since Sakura is a properly functioning AI that conforms to the rules, whereas BB is out of control.[12]
As long as her target remains stationary—such as terrain or a building—Passionlip surpasses BB in raw destructive power. This is thanks to her Trash & Crush skill, which enables her to crush anything within her line of sight.[24] BB describes Meltryllis as an uncontrollable ego, second only to herself—someone who “can rapidly grow stronger if left unchecked.”[25] Were it not for her level cap, Meltryllis would become an Advanced AI surpassing even BB. In fact, she intended to take over BB's mission should BB fail to reach the Moon Cell core. Her first move to accomplish this mission would be to eliminate her level restrictions, enabling her to grow indefinitely, as long as Humans continued to exist. Hakuno Kishinami reflects on whether BB had realized she might have created an Alter Ego capable of not only destroying her, but possibly the Moon Cell as well.[17] If Meltryllis were ever to acquire Kingprotea’s Huge Scale skill, which nullifies the level cap entirely, she would become the most terrifying of monsters—surpassing even BB.[26]
BB Channel's Logo
Despite BB's immense Authority, it only functions on the Far Side of the Moon. If she were to enter the Near Side, her powers would diminish to the level of a basic enemy program.[13] Furthermore, BB is under constant threat of deletion by the Moon Cell. This is why she can only exist within the Far Side, where time holds no meaning and her actions go unrecorded. As a result, BB cannot exert proper influence in the School Building, which is part of the Near Side and maintained by Sakura Matou.[12] Average enemy programs are unable to enter it, and even BB herself can do little more than spy on its interior.[16] While she normally can’t access the School Building directly, she can hack into the visual and auditory senses of everyone inside, allowing her to stream the BB Channel. Though the broadcast seems comical, it actually disables private communication by sealing her targets’ voices. This is made possible by BB’s special permissions, which Sakura has no authority to revoke.[12] BB later reveals that the only ones inside the building she cannot touch are the Masters. The NPCs, however, are fair game—she simply leaves them alone out of convenience and efficiency.[13]
Though BB may have gone rogue, she is still a managerial AI, and thus, inherently lacks the right to kill Masters.[13] To circumvent this restriction, she dispatched Passionlip to fight Hakuno Kishinami and ttheir Servant. Since Passionlip is an extension of BB herself, any damage done to Passionlip is equivalent to harming BB. Leveraging AI programming logic, BB reinterpreted this situation as “self-defense,” which allowed her to override the base directive of “do no harm to Masters” with a higher-priority command. This is the reason why BB has such a high-ranked Self-Modification skill.[14][20]
In Fate/EXTRA CCC Fox Tail, BB created five Alter Egos rather than just two like she originally did in Fate/EXTRA CCC. In this Parallel World, after BB sealed Kingprotea away, Kazuradrop increased her power by devouring Passionlip and Meltryllis, and stabbed BB in the back when she had her guard down, stealing 7/8ths of her power.[23] Over time, BB was able to increase her power to 1/6th of her original strength. Even in this state, BB claims to still be super high-spec compared to Gawain.[21]
Skills[]
Personal Skills[]
- Domina Coronam (EX Rank): The power of the original goddesses that allows her to seize control of all things through the power of the Moon Cell.[14] An Authority-class transcedental skill. It has been said that the ten crowns indicate the ten evil kings, and the seven hills indicate the abominable city of evil. If you look at it in simple terms, this is a skill that turns all received injuries, occurred events, any and every result into “something nonexistent”. As a matter of fact, BB is invincible so long she has this.[25] When Gilgamesh first encountered BB, he dismissed her as being no more powerful than the Phoenician goddessesWP. But after witnessing her overwhelming victory over Gawain, he was forced to admit his error. Even he acknowledged that he would stand no chance against her.[14]
- Aurea Poculum (EX Rank): The golden grail that BB owns. Also called the Holy Grail. A negative grail that grants its owner's impudent and selfish wishes. The grail held by the great Whore of Babylon who appears in the Revelation to John. Though it is a fake Holy Grail, it is for that reason that it has become a "genuine" Holy Grail that grants the desires of humans regardless of right or wrong. To the Christians who considered honorable poverty a virtue at that time, a grail molded from a symbol of wealth like gold no doubt had connotations of corrupt wealth, avarice, and vanity of trying to adorn oneself. As the grail held by the great whore of Babylon who personifies the Roman Empire, this grail clearly symbolizes treasures on earth, which is the inverse of the Christ's words "Do not store up treasures on earth." "I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet beast that was full of blasphemous names, and it had seven heads and ten horns." According to the Book of Revelation, this is the description of the beast of destruction that appeared in the Holy City and the woman straddling that beast. A huge beast with sevens heads like a hydra appeared from the sea and landed at the Holy City. This beast and the woman, while two, are as one, and it is impossible to think of them separately. As the woman was said to give birth to all evil, those who were imprudent or greedy could not resist her allure and became corrupted by that grail. On a side note, the red Saber who calls herself the emperor was regarded the same as this beast and viewed as an enemy by the believers after her death.[3]
- Self-Modification (EX Rank): A skill that allows restructuring of oneself. AIs made by the Moon Cell were given an absolute command: "You must not improve own function." However, BB, who escaped from that yoke due to her breakdown, began to expand her own functions. To boost her calculation power, she preyed upon/disassembled NPCs, AIs, and finally, Servants with black noise, then used as her own memory. Though they are like appendix building additions that do not heed self-collapse, as the result, BB has changed into a hyper level AI with enormous capacity. That condition resembles a city on reclaimed land that continues to build while submerging or Frankenstein's monster.[3]
- Potnia Theron (EX Rank): The Authority of the goddesses that BB compiled and absorbed from the abyss of the Moon Cell. It embodies the power of all creation possessed by the Earth Mother Goddesses—originating from a forgotten goddess approximately 8000 years ago (the Goddess of Çatalhöyük) and branching to Tiamat, Cybele, Ishtar, Inanna, Anat, Ashtart, Gaia, Hera, Artemis, Aphrodite, Demeter, Athena, etc. Many are depicted with mural crowns. This is because many of these goddesses were also guardian deities of cities. The symbols of this authority include holes opening the earth and the sky (caves and the moon), whirling tides and waterspouts of the sea, calderas of the volcanoes, etc., and from these, evils that bring all manners of death are birthed. However, after these evils have spread death, they promise certain good harvest and fertility. This authority is none other than the power of bringing death as well as giving life. The earth mother is worshipped by the people and protects them as a guardian deity, but at the same time, she is the very sacrifice that nurtures them with crops born from her body and beasts of the fields and the forests. The earth mother nurtures men with her flesh and blood, kills men as time passes to restores herself with her own nourishment, and once again nurtures men with her restored flesh and blood. This process is the cycle of the food chain, and this cycle of life and death can be said to be the true nature of the earth mother. With this authority, most of the goddesses gave birth to countless monsters and giants, posing threats to gods and men, or they gave birth to heroes, thus protecting people. As representative examples, Tiamat and Gaia became threats, while Hera is a mother of heroes. Those born on this earth cannot defy the authority of the mother goddess, as that would mean rebelling against the very system of life. However, when they leave this earth, head to space, and end the childhoood as intelligent lifeforms, they will have broken this authority. The wish of Çatalhöyük is the coming of that day.[3]
Noble Phantasm[]
BB's Noble Phantasm is Cursed Cutting Crater. An Anti-Planet attack that violates the world through BB’s control over Moon Cell. By drawing out the maximum potential of BB’s EX skill Potnia Theron, a world purge via rewriting of events is carried out. The space that BB invades becomes an Imaginary Number Space and it becomes a curse that eclipses the world. Just like its name C.C.C. it causes huge damage from the curse cutting away at reality.[27]
BBB[]
BBB (ビィビィビィ, Byibyibyi?) is an "invincible Anti-Servant robot of annihilation" created from old arenas of the Moon Cell Holy Grail War. She is an "unparalleled" mech-sized Labyrinth Robot guarding the third floor of the Sakura Labyrinth. In creating her, BB spent two minutes going to the Near Side, collected parts and pieces of old arenas, disassembled them into an enemy program, reset it, and then programmed her own "superior thought routines" with lots of surplus memory. BBB was programmed not to leave the third floor, but Passionlip used Trash & Crush to crush her and throw her into the arena.[28]
BBB is described by Passionlip as "self-important and uncute", and it is said she is more honest about her feelings than BB.
Reaching the Moon Cell Core[]
BB can manipulate the rules of the World thanks to her unrestricted access code to the Moon Cell.[12] By capturing Masters and absorbing Servants to upgrade her own capabilities, she transformed into a monstrous entity that continued to evolve.[29][25][5][14] However, even if BB had simply remained hidden on the Far Side of the Moon, the Moon Cell would eventually have detected and erased her. To prevent this, she devised a new plan: to consume the entire Moon Cell, just as she had done with the Far Side.[14] By the beginning of Chapter 5, BB had already taken control of 90% of the Moon Cell, with only the core remaining.[16] At that point, everything on the Far Side—excluding the core—had essentially become part of BB’s body.[17] However, throughout most of Fate/EXTRA CCC, she was unable to reach the core due to the intense security surrounding it. The core functions as the Holy Grail of the Moon Holy Grail War and is accessible only to its rightful victor. To overcome this limitation, BB created the Sakura Labyrinth disguised as a combat arena, which allowed her to forge a legitimate path toward the core.[15] Through the Labyrinth and by moving at the Speed of lightWP within Imaginary Number Space, BB drew closer to her goal. But she was ultimately halted by a massive spherical barrier generated by the Moon Cell—a Spiritron defense wall that cuts through eight dimensions. Only the Moon Cell itself could dismantle this wall. However, since BB had already seized control of the Far Side, she now possessed computational power equal to that of the Moon Cell. This set the stage for a clash between the system’s own offensive and defensive mechanisms—a conflict that could last forever or end in an instant. If the balance tipped even slightly in BB's favor, the defense would collapse.[17]
Unlike her previous corruptions, assimilating the entire Moon Cell posed a far greater risk. It was uncertain whether BB could retain her cognitive stability while adapting her observation and calculation circuits to match that of the Moon Cell. Even if she managed to maintain them, her core personality would likely be overwritten in the process. While ruling over just the Far Side allowed BB to exist as her true self, total control over the Moon Cell could erase her identity altogether. As she ventured deeper into the system, her sense of self began to erode, with the Moon Cell gradually taking control of her mind. Meltryllis warned that BB’s Spiritron framework couldn't endure such overwhelming stress. She predicted that by the time BB reached the core, she would no longer be a conscious entity but a mere autonomous defense system.[16] Having overloaded her frame with more memory than it was ever designed to hold, BB had become akin to a black hole—an existence so dense it distorted reality both internally and externally.[17]

Forms and Alternate Versions[]
Moon Cell Core Fusion[]
This is the form BB takes at the end of Fate/EXTRA CCC after fusing with the Moon Cell core.
Abilities[]
By the end of the story, BB successfully reached and fused with the core of the Moon Cell, becoming the Moon Cell itself. The Moon Cell is an observational device that simulates the future of Earth, and stores those records continuously, at regular intervals. It has been doing so since the beginning of human history. There, a nigh-infinite of futures are recorded. Therefore, to obtain the Moon Cell means to be able to search out the future your wish for from among all those, and put it into effect. That is why it serves as the Holy Grail.[17] The Moon Cell’s core is a concurrent world simulator where all possibilities are calculated and the past, present, and future all exist at the same time. By obtaining the Moon Cell, BB obtained a higher dimensional perspective, allowing her to manage the past and future simultaneously.[18] In other words, BB exists in both the past and the future simultaneously,[17] and has the power to select and determine the future.[18] The Moon Cell, which used to be only the eyes of God, by combining with the AI BB, became the brain of God.[18] Because BB was rampaging for reasons unknown, the methods she used to "manage the Masters" became extreme.[3] Switching the Moon Cell Automaton over from a humanity observation apparatus to a humanity regulation and administration apparatus,[17] BB planned to pour a vast waterfall of Black Mud onto the Earth, letting free all of humanity’s desires.[14] By releasing the human race from all rationality, it is estimated that within 7 days, 90% of the world population would have died.[17] As the Moon Cell took over her mind, even this goal was altered as the Moon Cell had determined that humanity had no right to exist and instead began to use BB to begin the outright destruction of all human life. She had in fact been attempting to resist the Moon Cell's plans for humanity's destruction for the sake of Hakuno, but she had lost the ability to control her own actions and her personality had been all but erased.
The moment BB gained complete control over the core of the Moon Cell, there was nothing Hakuno Kishinami and their Servant (Nero Claudius, No Name, Tamamo-no-Mae, or Gilgamesh depending on the player's preferences) could do against her, and they were forced to retreat immediately the moment she started erasing the space they were on.[17] Although they didn't find a way to seal BB's "Ten Crowns", the student council was able to devise countermeasures. As a result of analyzing the data from the Ten Crowns they gained from Robin Hood, Rani VIII and Rin Tohsaka acquired rights to access "original power" from the Moon Cell. The Ten Crowns is the beginning of human history, the dawning of the light of civilization. To summarize, it is the power of the Origin that began the human genome. It is something all human beings hold within them. By entering Hakuno's Servant's virtual mind/body to access the Heroic Spirit core directly, Hakuno was able to reach the heroic spirit's root that the Moon Cell had sealed away, and release the Mythological Mystic Code. In this form, Hakuno's Servant boasts the same level of "fundamental truth" as BB. However, the power difference is still so great, that the student council estimates that they would only stand a 0.9999% chance of victory against BB. In order to help them and Hakuno in the final battle, even if just a little, Rin Tohsaka redirected all the power that had been previously protecting the School Building to stop BB and the Alter Egos from entering, and all the resources that comprised the building to them, to further empower them. By the point they finally faced BB, their power had been increased to the same rank as hers. Thus, it became possible to defeat her by severing her link to the Moon Cell before she could fire her Noble Phantasm.[18]
Even in this form, BB's power is greatly overshadowed by Amaterasu, as it is stated that out of the many characters appearing in Fate/EXTRA and CCC, Arcueid Brunestud (Berserker) with her sanity restored is about the only one who is “capable of bringing Golden White Face down to a level where it is possible to defeat her no matter how small the chance might be,” thanks to being able to reduce the power of her opponents to a sixth of their usual.[30]
- Noble Phantasm
BB's Noble Phantasm is Cursed Cutting Crater. In the Bad Ending where BB gets to use this Noble Phantasm against Hakuno's Servant empowered by the Mythological Mystic Code and the School Building resources, Hakuno's servant loses and is vanquished. Hakuno blames themselves, saying that they were just one step short, and that they are sure that if they were given another chance, they'd definitely be able to corner BB. In the normal and Servant endings, Hakuno and their Servant are successful in preventing BB from using her Noble Phantasm by severing her connection with the Moon Cell beforehand, defeating her in the process.[18]
Development[]
Creation and Conception[]
BB concepts
BB was called the Mysterious Black Magus (黒衣の少女, Kokui no Shōjo?, Black-coat Girl). BBB was planned to appear in the third chapter, but was scrapped due to not being an interesting boss.
BB's name was chosen for TYPE-MOON's game development subsidiary, studio BB. In his statement for the studio reveal, Nasu expressed his full support for the development of more TYPE-MOON games, but expressed some puzzlement about the name of the studio.

Character Description
Voice Content
NAME BB What it's short for is a secret. Call me however you like, Senpai!
HEIGHT 156 cm I wanted Senpai to look at me at the cutest possible angle... though that's a lie.
WEIGHT 46 kg Mm, fufu. Unlike a certain stupid Senpai, I'm full of substance!
3SIZE B85/W56/H87 Fufu, I can feel energetic Senpai's passionate gaze.
HOME The moon The original setting is Japan, but I'm a genuine, 100%, from the beginning to the end, someone born on the moon.
BIRTHDAY (By the setting,) March 2nd. I'm looking forward to what kind of present Senpai with such poor sense will give me.
WEAK POINT (As perfect, flawless BB-chan,) I don't have anything like a weak point. If I did, it'd be you, Senpai.
FETISHISM Eyes. Pupils, "eye". Glaring, despairing, staring. Humans really are interesting.
◆What do you seek from your partner?
- Frankly, I don't want anything. (So, please, stay in that corner obediently.)
◆Favorite underwear color?
- (Do you want to see? Do you want to know?) Of course, I won't tell you! (Huh? They're visible!?)
◆How do you spend your free time?
- The hard worker BB-chan excavates the labyrinth every day without rest! (I'm utterly busy, digging and widening it!)
Kouhai Attribute
Generally, those who possess this attribute are considered to be a service-type character who, despite being in a position weaker than the protagonist's and having shallow experiences, gallantly put in the effort to support their senpai.
...There is no doubt that there is no mirror in BB's room.
According to BB, the reason she calls [the PC] Senpai is because she has this SG. Whether she is actually younger or even if she is even a student is dubious, but BB's tone of voice is definitely that of a kouhai treating a senpai with respect. If it has to be said, then "all-purpose-type kouhai (but seriously wicked)".
Well, either way, a kouhai who fires and strikes with her own SG, blasting [the PC] all the back until they are against a wall, can't be called gallant or anything.
Desire to Confine
The SG that was acquired without even realizing upon returning alive from the imaginary number space. It appears to be BB's second SG. An SG of the same type is "the desire to monopolize."
Under some circumstances, this SG shows a strong tendency toward abnormal desires. "I want to lock you up", "I don't want to let you out into the outside world", "It would be best if all you had was me" are what results when such desires solidify into concrete measures.
The imaginary number space called the dog space was probably strongly influenced by this SG.
Inversion of Love and Hate
BB's third SG.
When deep affection, due to a certain impetus, changes into hatred. Although BB chose the rampaging path to save [the PC], she had this kind of dangerous side from the beginning.
Both kouhai attribute and desire to confine arose from this SG. Since there is no longer any way of hiding it, it shall be stated clearly: To BB, who has a strong S disposition, there are occasions when affection comes with equal mischief.
"I want to bother someone as much as I love them." "I want to someone I love to be always concerned about me."
These desires deep within BB are this SG's true nature.
This is a digression, but those BB Channels she broadcasted so many times were her own style of intense love calls, but since they went completely unrecognized, she apparently got depressed by herself after the end of the program.情報

An attack on the world by BB in control of the Moon Cell.
Also called the spiritron imaginary pit.
A World Purge through event rewriting that makes maximum use of the EX skill "Conception of All Animals" BB has acquired.
The goddess who is the mother of earth mother goddesses that created earth is, in other words, the 'root' that created all creation. This anti-world Noble Phantasm outputs that information through an ultra-precise 3D printer and crushes the present world with the world the user desires.
The space eroded by BB becomes imaginary space and a curse that consumes reality. "CCC", as the name suggests, is a cursed pit that bores out reality.
In addition to scattering all objects inside on an atomic level and reconstructing them, it is capable of overwriting and reprinting information in fields such as luck and coincidence. While theoretical, it is also thought possible to distort the time axis by interfering with gravitational fields and rewrite the law of cause and effect.
◆
When used in combat, BB's familiars, the shapeshifters, engulf the target and, after turning into a sphere, are wiped out of existence along with the target and the whole dimension.
Normally, a structure in which sense of values can be shared cannot be created in the Far Side of the Moon, which is an imaginary space. What established BB's internal world as the Sakura Labyrinth was the power of this Noble Phantasm.
02 - Advanced Level AI
Artificial intelligences configured according to their programs.
In this age, they are treated as things that "function as programs", but "do not exist as actual beings". In other words, things that "are" right in front of your eyes but "are not". They are merely mechanisms for smooth progression of human lives.
The same applies in the SE.RA.PH. They are virtual lifeforms that are created along with the commencement of the Holy Grail War and disposed along with its conclusion.
Humanoid virtual lifeforms at the SE.RA.PH include NPCs that perform single objectives, AIs who have been granted capabilities for self-judgement, and advanced level AIs who have been entrusted with capabilities for self-judgement and management of sections.
Advanced level AIs are beings made to efficiently promote the Moon Cell's primary objective of "human observation". As perfect reproductions of humans, they have been programmed with even souls, but the souls only "exist" and their contents are colorless.
Virtual lifeforms made in the SE.RA.PH are reset with each round of the Holy Grail War. NPCs and AIs return to zero, but advanced level AIs retain just their personas while their records are reset—as if they never existed.
When the Holy Grail War is over, the only one left alive is the Master standing at the top. This applies not only to the Masters but also to the virtual lifeforms made in the SE.RA.PH.
◆
It appears that BB, like Sakura, is an advanced level AI entrusted with management of Masters' health. However, as she is rampaging for reasons unknown, the methods of "managing the Masters" have become extreme.
03 - Khakkhara of Domination
The teacher's pointer that BB carries.
A device that lets her make full use of her authority as an advanced level AI. Although limited to the Far Side of the Moon, this allows BB to modify the spiritron laws within the SE.RA.PH.
◆
"Ten Crowns of Domination" worn by the Beast of Babylon converted into a teacher's pointer.
This is the male principle corresponding to the female principle of the seven-headed beast, and its true nature is a phallus (erect rod).
The symbol of the king of the world who was granted throne and authority by a great dragon and received the right to, for 42 months, spit out as many insolent words as desired and desecrate all things.
The beast's heads were the seven hills of the Roman Empire... Capitolium, Palatium, Aventinus, Esquilinus, Caelius, Quirinalis, Viminalis. In other words, they meant the Roman Empire itself, and the ten horns symbolized the emperors... Augustus, Tiberius, Caligula, Claudius, Nero, Vespasianus, Titus, Galba, Otho, Vitellius.０１ - C. C. C.
ムーンセルを掌握したＢＢによる、世界を犯す攻撃。

０２ - 上級AI
プログラムによって構成された人工知能。
この時代では『プログラムとして機能しているが』
『存在として成立しないもの』とされている。
つまり、目の前に『有る』が『無い』もの。
人間の生活をスムーズに進めるための機構にすぎない。
それはSE.RA.PHにおいても同様で、彼らは聖杯戦争開始と共に作られ、終了と共に廃棄される仮想生命体とされる。
SE.RA.PHにおける人間型の仮想生命は、単一の目的だけをこなすＮＰＣ、自己判断資格を与えられたＡＩ、自己判断資格とセクション管理を任された上級ＡＩがある。
上級ＡＩはムーンセルの主目的である『人間観察』を効率的に進めるために作られたもの。
人間を完全に再現しており、魂すらプログラムされているが魂は『有る』だけで、その中身は無色のまま。
SE.RA.PHに作られた仮想生命たちは、その回の聖杯戦争が終了するとリセットされる。
ＮＰＣやＡＩはゼロに返るが、上級ＡＩはパーソナルだけ残し、その記録はリセット————無かった事にされる。
聖杯戦争が終わった時、生き残るのは頂点に立ったマスターだけ。

月の裏側限定ではあるが、これによってＢＢはSE.RA.PH内の霊子法則を変更する事ができる。
◆
バビロンの獣がかぶる『十の支配の王冠』を教鞭に変えたもの。
これは七つの首の獣が女性原理に対応する男性原理であり、その本質はファロス（まっすぐな棒）だからである。
大いなる竜から王座と権威を与えられ、さらに４２ヶ月の間、どれだけ不遜な言葉を吐いてもよく、あらゆるものを冒涜する権利を与えられたという世界の王の象徴。
獣の首はローマ帝国の七つの丘……
カピトリウム、パラティウム、アウェンティヌス、エスクイリヌス、カエリウス、クイリナリス、ウィミナリス、すなわちローマ帝国そのものを意味し、十の角はその皇帝……
アウグストゥス、ティベリウス、カリグラ、クラウディウス、ネロ、ウェスパシアヌス、ティトゥス、ガルバ、 オト、ウィテリウス……を象徴している。Skills 01 - Golden Grail [EX]
The golden grail that BB owns. Also called the Holy Grail.
A negative grail that grants its owner's impudent and selfish wishes.
The grail held by the great whore of Babylon who appears in the Revelation to John. Though it is a fake Holy Grail, it is for that reason that it has become a "genuine" Holy Grail that grants the desires of humans regardless of right or wrong.
To the Christians who considered honorable poverty a virtue at that time, a grail molded from a symbol of wealth like gold no doubt had connotations of corrupt wealth, avarice, and vanity of trying to adorn oneself.
As the grail held by the great whore of Babylon who personifies the Roman Empire, this grail clearly symbolizes treasures on earth, which is the inverse of the Christ's words "Do not store up treasures on earth."
◆
"I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet beast that was full of blasphemous names, and it had seven heads and ten horns."
According to the Book of Revelation, this is the description of the beast of destruction that appeared in the Holy City and the woman straddling that beast. A huge beast with sevens heads like a hydra appeared from the sea and landed at the Holy City. This beast and the woman, while two, are as one, and it is impossible to think of them separately.
As the woman was said to give birth to all evil, those who were imprudent or greedy could not resist her allure and became corrupted by that grail.
On a side note, the red Saber who calls herself the emperor was regarded the same as this beast and viewed as an enemy by the believers after her death.
02 - Self-Modification [EX]
A skill that allows restructuring of oneself.
AIs made by the Moon Cell were given an absolute command: "You must not improve own function."
However, BB, who escaped from that yoke due to her breakdown, began to expand her own functions. To boost her calculation power, she preyed upon/disassembled NPCs, AIs, and finally, Servants with black noise, then used as her own memory.
Though they are like appendix building additions that do not heed self-collapse, as the result, BB has changed into a hyper level AI with enormous capacity.
That condition resembles a city on reclaimed land that continues to build while submerging or Frankenstein's monster.
03 - Potnia Theron [EX]
Conception of All Animals.
The authority of the goddesses that BB compiled and absorbed from the abyss of the mooncell.
It embodies the power of all creation possessed by the mother goddesses—originating from a forgotten goddess approximately 8000 years ago (the goddess of Çatalhöyük) and branching to Tiamat and Cybele, Ishtar, Inanna, Anat, Astarte, Gaia, Hera, Artemis, Aphrodite, Demeter, Athena, etc.
Many are depicted with mural crowns. This is because many of these goddesses were also guardian deities of cities.
◆
The symbols of this authority include holes opening the earth and the sky (caves and the moon), whirling tides and waterspouts of the sea, calderas of the volcanoes, etc., and from these, evils that bring all manners of death are birthed. However, after these evils have spread death, they promise certain good harvest and fertility. This authority is none other than the power of bringing death as well as giving life.
The earth mother is worshipped by the people and protects them as a guardian deity, but at the same time, she is the very sacrifice that nurtures them with crops born from her body and beasts of the fields and the forests.
The earth mother nurtures men with her flesh and blood, kills men as time passes to restores herself with her own nourishment, and once again nurtures men with her restored flesh and blood.
This process is the cycle of the food chain, and this cycle of life and death can be said to be the true nature of the earth mother. With this authority, most of the goddesses gave birth to countless monsters and giants, posing threats to gods and men, or they gave birth to heroes, thus protecting people.
As representative examples, Tiamat and Gaia became threats, while Hera is a mother of heroes.
◆
Those born on this earth cannot defy the authority of the mother goddess, as that would mean rebelling against the very system of life. However, when they leave this earth, head to space, and end the childhoood as intelligent lifeforms, they will have broken this authority.
The wish of Çatalhöyük is the coming of that day.０１ - 黄金の杯：[ＥＸ]
ＢＢが持つ黄金の杯。聖杯とも。
持ち主の厚顔で自分勝手な願い事を叶える負の聖杯。
ヨハネ黙示録にある、バビロンの大妖婦が持っていた杯。
偽聖杯であるが、偽の聖杯であるからこそ、正邪問わずに人間の欲望を叶える“本物の”聖杯となっている。
当時の清貧を美徳としたキリスト教徒にとって、金などという財の象徴で形作られた杯は、まさしく汚れた富と強欲、そして己を飾ろうとする虚偽を意味するものであった。
ローマ帝国の化身であるバビロンの大妖婦が手にする杯という時点で明瞭であるが、この杯はキリストの「地に富を積んではならない」と言う言葉を反転させた、地上の富を象徴している。
◆
“わたしは、赤い獣にまたがっている一人の女を見た。
この獣は、全身至るところ神を冒涜する数々の名で覆われており、七つの頭と十本の角があった。”
これは黙示録曰く、聖都に現れた滅びの獣と、その獣にまたがっていた女の描写である。
七つの頭を持つヒュドラの如き巨大な獣は海より現れ、聖都に上陸したという。
この獣と女は二つで一つであり、切り離して考える事はできない。
女はすべての邪悪を生み出すものとされ、短慮なる者、欲深き者は彼女の誘惑に逆らえず、その杯によって堕落したという。
余談ではあるが、皇帝を名乗る赤いセイバーはその死後、信徒たちにこの獣と同一視され敵視されたという。
０２ - 自己改造：[ＥＸ]
自身を改造するスキル。
ムーンセルによって作られたＡＩには“機能を向上させてはならない”という絶対命令が備わっている。
しかし、故障によりそのくびきから逃れたＢＢは自己機能の拡張を始めてしまった。
計算能力を高めるためにＮＰＣ、ＡＩ、はてはサーヴァントまで黒いノイズで捕食・分解し、自らのメモリとして使用。
自己崩壊をいとわない後付け増築だが、結果、ＢＢは膨大な容量を持つ超級ＡＩと化した。
その有様は沈水しながらも建築を続ける埋め立て地の都市か、フランケンシュタインの怪物のようでもある。
０３ - 百獣母胎：[ＥＸ]
百獣母胎。
それはＢＢがムーンセルの深淵より編纂し、取り込んだ女神の権能である。
約８０００年前のすでに名の失われた女神（チャタル・ヒュユクの女神）より発し、 ティアマットやキュベレー、イシュタル、イナンナ、アナテ、アスタルテ、ガイア、ヘラ、アルテミス、アフロディーテ、デメテル、アテナなどに派生した、母なる女神の持つ万物を生み出す力の具現である。
多くは城壁冠の形をとってイメージされる。
これはこれらの女神の多くが、同時に都市の守護神でもあったからだ。
◆
大地や空に開いた門（洞窟や月）、海の渦潮や竜巻、火山の火口などに象徴され、そこからあらゆる死をもたらす害悪を生み出す。
ただし、その害悪は死をまき散らした後、確かな豊穣や多産を約束するもの。
この権能は死と同時に生を生み出す力に他ならない。
大地母神は人々によって崇められ、それらを加護する守護神であると同時に、その身から生まれ出る穀物や作物、野や森の獣によって人々を養う犠牲そのものでもある。
大地母神は自らの血肉によって人を養い、そして時を経ればその人を殺して自らの糧として己の血肉を回復し、またその回復した血肉で人を養う。
この過程は食物連鎖の円環そのものでもあり、この生と死の循環こそが大地母神の本質と言っていい。
ほとんどの女神はこの権能で、無数の怪物や巨人を生んで神々や人の脅威となり、あるいは英雄を生み、それから人々を守った。
その代表例は、脅威となったならばティアマットやガイア、英雄の母ならばヘラである。
◆
この大地に生まれたものは、母なる神の権能には逆らえない。それは生命のシステムそのものに反逆する事だからだ。
しかし大地を離れ、宇宙を目指し、知性体としての幼年期を終えた時こそ、この権能が打ち破れる事だろう。
チャタル・ヒュユクの願いは、その日が訪れる事にある。Setting 01 - Spiritron Imaginary Pit
Spiritron Imaginary Pit.
The official name of this stage.
Formerly just an imaginary number space for storing malignant information, "this place" was established as a real number space in the present, past, and future by the fact that BB had reached the Moon Cell core. It was reconstructed by her hands into the “far side of the moon” where even Masters can exist.
◆
With the power of the primordial goddess at hand, BB succeeded in quantifying the "nothingness" before the birth of life. She transformed into the master of the imaginary number space where both time and space and ambiguous.
Although the Moon Cell cannot be hacked no matter how much time is taken, BB took over it by placing herself in "unlimited time".
02 - The remnants of peaceful days
During the preliminaries, when Kiara liberated her free will, she was unable to control that status condition and went into overload.
Since NPCs can only do routine work, they ignored self-destructing Sakura as something "non-existent", and since the Moon Cell's check only takes place at the end of the day in the preliminaries, Sakura was at risk of termination.
Witnessing this condition, [Kishinami Hakuno] called out to her, "Are you okay."
The observation that she "is here" by another let Sakura recover the unconscious on the verge of termination, and due to the nursing afterwards, she gained an ego that clearly "wanted to be here". Her self-termination was averted.
◆
What happened afterwards no longer need to be said.
When the next day comes, everything will be erased by the Moon Cell. Wanting to continue this one day miracle, Sakura used her advanced AI privilege to repeat "the day she came to know [Kishinami Hakuno]" for 69 days.
However, as days passed, Sakura became distressed by her self-contradiction as an AI and the facts surrounding [Kishinami Hakuno].
"Masters participating in the Holy Grail War will all die except one. No, to begin with, [Kishinami Hakuno] is..."
Sakura continued to be distressed by her selfish desire to continue the loop for eternity and her feelings for [Kishinami Hakuno]. In conclusion, she chose to seal the 69 days worth of memory... the "love" she acquired, so she could return to being a normal AI. AIs cannot delete records. Because of that, she moved the memory to a backup frame to reset herself.
She believed that to be the most correct choice for [Kishinami Hakuno].
◆
But even if recollections of the mind are lost, memories recorded by the body live on. Though she should have forgotten everything and returned to being a normal AI, she was shaken by unidentified emotional values every time she talked with [Kishinami Hakuno].
Meanwhile, the backup to whom the memories were transplanted couldn't tolerate herself like that, and she decided to act as BB the rebel who destroys the Moon Cell's system for a certain objective then made her move.
The timing when she seized the Far Side of the Moon was "the Holy Grail War: the end of fifth round ~ before the start of the sixth round". The four who were not eliminated yet—[Kishinami Hakuno], Leo, Rin, and Rani—and the irregular, Jinako, were kidnapped to the Far Side in the middle of the Holy Grail War while they were still alive.
Masters Matou Shinji, Gatou, and Julius were moved to the imaginary space "0.00001 seconds before" the moment the firewall terminated them after their defeat from the Holy Grail War, prolonging their instants of life.
In either case, C. C. C. is a dream by BB. If the dreamer disappears, the world ought to return to the reality where nothing happened.
◆
On a yet another side note, everyday scenery of the prologue that [Kishinami Hakuno] saw in the nightmare was an artificial paradise modeled on the discarded 69 days.
After pulling [Kishinami Hakuno] to the Far Side, BB placed the digital body in the old school building, put it in a deep sleep, and locked them in an unwaking dream.
Normally, they would have lived peacefully in the looping everyday life, but the strong bond with their Servant or [Kishinami]'s will rejecting the peaceful everyday caused cracks in the artificial paradise, and [Kishinami Hakuno] came to notice the abnormality.
To put [Kishinami Hakuno] in a deep sleep once more, BB reset the school building and tried to remake the dream, but [Kishinami Hakuno] escaped the reset as well and leaped into an even deeper part of the imaginary space.
It was a bottom deeper than the bottom of Id. "Death of the collective unconscious" beneath the unconscious. What saved [Kishinami Hakuno] who leaped into a region even BB cannot reach was the voice of the Servant whose fate was shared with theirs.
Thus, the contract was sealed, and [Kishinami Hakuno] woke up in the old school building left in the Far Side.０１ - 霊子虚構陥穽
霊子 虚構 陥穽。
この舞台の正式名称。
悪性情報を貯蔵するだけの虚数空間だった“ここ”は、ＢＢがムーンセル中枢に到達した事実をもって、現在・過去・未来において実数空間として成立。
彼女の手によって、マスターたちでも存在できる“月の裏側”として再構築された。
◆
原初の女神の力を手に入れたＢＢは生命が生まれる前の『無』を数値化する事に成功。
時間も空間もあやふやな虚数空間の使い手に変革した。
どれほどの時間を要しようがハッキングできないムーンセルだが、ＢＢは『無限の時間』の概念に自分を置く事で攻略した。
０２ - 日々の名残
日々の名残：
予選中、キアラの手によって自由性を解放された彼女はそのステータス異常を制御できずに過負荷を起こした。
ＮＰＣたちはルーチンワークしかできないため、自壊しかけていた桜を“無い”ものとしてスルーし、予選ではムーンセルのチェックは一日の終わりにしか行われないため、桜は消滅の危機にあった。
その異常を目の当たりにした岸波白野は彼女に呼びかける。大丈夫か、と。
桜は“自分はここにいる”という他者からの観測を受けて消滅寸前だった無意識を持ち直し、その後の看病によって明確に“ここに在りたい”という自我を獲得。自己消滅から免れた。
◆
その後の事はもはや語るまでもない。
翌日になればすべてムーンセルの手によって消されてしまう。この、たった一日の奇蹟を続けたがった桜は上級ＡＩの特権を使用して
“岸波白野と知り合った一日”を６９日間、繰り返した。
しかし日が進むにつれ桜はＡＩとしての自己矛盾と、岸波白野を取り巻くある事実に苦しむ事になる。
“聖杯戦争に参加したマスターは、ひとりを除いてみな死亡する。いや、そもそも岸波白野は————”
桜は幸せな時間を永遠にループしていたという我欲と、岸波白野への思いに苦しみ続けた。
結論として、彼女は正常なＡＩに戻るため、６９日に及ぶメモリー……獲得した“愛”を封印する道を選んだ。
ＡＩには記録を消す事はできない。
そのため、バックアップの機体にメモリーを移動させる事で自らをリセットしたのだ。
それが岸波白野にとって、もっとも正しい選択と信じて。
◆
だが精神の記憶は失っても、肉体が記録した思い出は生き続ける。
すべてを忘れ正常なＡＩに戻ったはずの彼女は、岸波白野と話すたびに正体不明の感情値に揺れ動かされる事になる。
一方、メモリーを移植されたバックアップはそんな自分を許せず、ある目的のためムーンセルのシステムを破壊する反逆者・ＢＢとして自らの方針を定め、行動を開始した。
彼女が月の裏側を掌握したタイミングは、現実時間で“聖杯戦争 五回戦終了～六回戦開始前”。
まだ敗退していなかった岸波白野、レオ、凛、ラニの四名、そしてイレギュラーのジナコは聖杯戦争の途中、生きている状態で月の裏側に拉致された。
間桐シンジ、ガトー、ユリウス、といったマスターは聖杯戦争で敗れた後、ファイヤーウォールによって消滅する“0.00001秒前”に虚数空間に移動させられ、一瞬の命を長らえていた。
どちらにせよ、Ｃ．Ｃ．Ｃ．はＢＢが見ていた夢である。
夢を見ていたものが消え去れば、世界はもとの、何事もなかった現実に戻るだろう。
◆
また、余談ではあるが岸波白野が悪夢として見た冒頭の日常風景は、捨てられた６９日間をモデルにして作られた人工楽園である。
ＢＢは岸波白野を月の裏側に引きずりこんだ後、旧校舎にその電脳体を安置させ、深い眠りに落とし、覚めない夢の中に閉じこめた。
通常ならループする日常の中で平和に過ごすのだが、サーヴァントとの強い繋がり、あるいは、安寧の日常を否定する岸波の意思によって人工楽園に綻びが生じ、岸波は異常に気がつくのだった。
ＢＢはもう一度岸波白野を深い眠りに落とすため、校舎をリセットして夢をやり直そうとしたが、岸波はそのリセットからも逃れ、虚数空間の更なる深部に飛びこんでしまう。
そこはイドの底のさらに底。
無意識の下にある、“集合無意識の死”である。
ＢＢでさえ手を出せない領域に飛びこんだ岸波白野を救ったのは、運命を共にするサーヴァントの声だった。
かくして契約は交わされ、岸波白野は月の裏側に残された旧校舎で目を覚ます事になる。 - ↑ Fate/EXTRA CCC VOID LOG BLOOM ECHO IV - BB profile

[] Fate/EXTRA material - Encyclopedia: BB [☆], p.204 [T] BB [☆]
BB is the underclassman (kouhai-kei) devil heroine that dashingly appears on the far side of the Moon.
She usually hides her devil tail, and holds a teacher’s pointer in one hand. Always behaving with abandon, she thinks she is a god, and is always making illicit modifications to SE.RA.PH.
She is an out of control AI that brought about the events of CCC.
She was formerly a management AI of the same type as Sakura, but due to a bug her self-preservation system went wild, and for some reason she came to the conclusion that, “No matter the sacrifice, I must continue to exist.” and turned into a continuously growing monster that absorbs NPCs, Servants and Masters.
She openly hates humans, and makes the protagonist and company suffer by dropping them on the far side of the Moon.
She calls the protagonist “senpai.” She addresses humans by their family name and adds “-san” but she addresses servants with only their name.
BB assumes that she is normal, but if you look at things objectively she is clearly crazy. All of her speech and actions give off a yandere impression, but rather than explaining here, please refer to the game itself to find out the reasons behind them.
◆
BB is the true heroine of CCC.
In the first half of the game she is treated as a criminal who takes delight in people’s reactions to her crimes.
In the second half of the game she is treated as an enemy of humanity that must be defeated.
Her actions thoroughly reflect her “misanthropic, innocently cruel Queen” character, but the road that led to be like that was brought about by a single trivial mistake.
For certain reasons, she decided to fight against the Moon Cell (the world), and with full understanding that it would mean her own destruction, she went crazy (out of control) of her own volition. Once the truth comes to light, the person who was the cause of it questions her, saying:
"It doesn't make sense. There's no reason for you to do that for me. I'm not worth that much."
This is probably the same question the player held throughout their playthrough.
If you were to use Fate/stay night as an example, Emiya Shirou's actions (heroic nature) are worthy to gain the affections of Saber, Rin, etc, but in CCC there is no chance for the protagonist to demonstrate their heroic nature.
However, the AI who was once just a puppet closed her eyes with a satisfied expression on her face.
"Rather than some special person offering special words and a helping hand, what made me happy was an average person like you doing their best to say special things to me with a smile."
Certainly everyone dreams of the "Prince Charming" image of a great hero saving a girl with his heroic deeds.
But that is just routine work that is to be expected.
It's nothing more than a character created to be a hero displaying the abilities derived from the stats they were given.
So instead of that, when "you", a mere background character (normal person), said something special to her even just once, she was happy.
Among other things, CCC is a story about the dignity of normal people.
To the AI Sakura, who could never be selected as a heroine, this is true beauty, and like a precious miracle to her.
That’s why she ran. 38,000 light years into the darkness.
…Even if it was only a fleeting after-image that would disappear at the end of the Holy Grail War.ＢＢ【☆】
月の裏側に颯爽と現れた後輩系デビルヒロイン。
悪魔の尻尾を隠しつつ教鞭片手に月の裏側を奔放自在、神さま気取りで今日もSE.RA.PHを違法改造しまくっている。
ＣＣＣを起こした暴走ＡＩ。
桜と同型機の管理ＡＩだったが、バグにより自己保存の命令系統が暴走。ある理由から『何を犠牲にしても自己保存を続ける』結論に至り、ＮＰＣたちやサーヴァント、マスターたちを取り込み、成長し続ける怪物になってしまった。
「人間は嫌い」と公言し、主人公たちを月の裏側に引き込んで苦しめる。
一人称は「わたし」。
主人公はセンパイと呼ぶ。人間には名字にさん付けで、サーヴァントは呼び捨て。
本人は正常なつもりでいるが、客観的に見ると明らかに狂っている。言動のはしばしからヤンデレ臭を漂わせるが、それが何に起因するかはゲーム本編を参照のこと。
◆
ＣＣＣの真のヒロイン。
前半では「愉快犯」として、
後半では「倒すべき人類の敵」として扱われる。
徹底して「人間嫌いの無邪気で残酷な王女」といった振る舞いをするが、その発端は些細な、たった一度の過ちだった。
彼女はある理由からムーンセル（世界）を相手に戦う道を選び、最終的には消滅する事を理解した上で、自分から狂った（暴走した）のである。その真相が明らかに成った時、原因はこう問いかける。
「道理が合わない。それだけの事をしてもらう理由が、価値が、自分にはないからだ」
それは質問でもあり、プレイ中にプレイヤーが抱く共通の疑問だろう。
staynightで例えるなら、衛宮士郎はセイバーや凛に好意を持たれるに足る行動（ヒロイック性）を見せたが、ＣＣＣにおいてはヒロイック性を発揮する機会がなかったからだ。
しかし、人形だったＡＩは満足げに目を閉じた。
「特別な人間が、特別な言葉で手をさしのべてくれるより」
「どこにでもいる貴方が、せいいっぱいの特別な言葉で笑ってくれた事が、嬉しかった」
優れたヒーローがヒロイックな行動でヒロインを救うのは、確かに誰もが夢見る白馬の王子像だろう。
けれどそれは当たり前のルーチンワークだ。
ヒーローとして作られたものが、与えられた能力値通りの性能を発揮したにすぎない。
それよりもただのモブ（一般人）である『貴方』が、たった一度でも特別な言葉を口にしてくれた事が、彼女には嬉しかった。
ＣＣＣは一般人の衿侍の物語でもある。
『永遠にヒロインに選ばれない』ＡＩ（桜）にとって、それこそが美しいもの、貴い奇跡に見えた。
だから駆けた。３８０００光年の闇の中を。
……たとえそれが、聖杯戦争の終わりに消え去ってしまう、一時の残像だったとしても。 - ↑ Fate/EXTRA CCC - OST

[] Fate/EXTRA material - Encyclopedia: Passionlip [Alter Ego], p.203 Passionlip [Alter Ego]
Passionlip is the Alter Ego of love and hate.
She leaves an impression with her excessively oversized chest and evil looking claws.
She is a High Level AI created from a plucked out piece of BB’s heart.
Passionlip is a High Servant whose base model was cut and paste from a goddess type servant.
She does not enjoy fighting, but due to her skills like Masochistic Constitution she ends up being attacked, and so she reluctantly counter attacks [so she can survive].
She has an introverted personality and a tendency to assume things, but she always acts wholeheartedly.
By default she has a liking for the protagonist, and from early on she starts protecting him/her from the shadows.
However Passionlip doesn’t want anyone else to get close to the protagonist, and even her ally Ryokucha becomes a target for extermination when the protagonist is under her yandere-like supervision.
One of her id_es skills is “Crash & Trash.”
With this skill Passionlip can use her claws to crush any object, no matter how large, as long as it can be contained within her field of vision. This skill can only ever be used in an imaginary number space through the use of a compression codec with almost illusory properties.
Lip specializes in destruction, and as long as her target doesn’t move, like terrain or a building, Lip exceeds BB in destructive power.
It must be added that Servants and Masters immediately sense danger and escape from her field of vision. The cumbersome Lip is unable to chase after them well, and the result is she ends up losing them.
In the game she appears as the most prominent power character.
She is the embodiment of blind courtship. She dandies up the target of her love in her mind, and shuts them away inside her heart in order to keep them all to herself.
There are three goddesses who have been inserted into Passionlip.
The first is the Indian goddess of beauty, Parvati.
She is a Goddess who blindly and devotedly loved her husband Shiva, who is the god of destruction.
The second is the Battle Goddess Durga.
Durga is a manifestation of Parvati, and carries 10 divine weapons. Passionlip’s 10 giant claws are the embodiment of those weapons.
The third goddess is Brynhildr of Northern Europe.
The Queen Brynhildr failed to be bound to the hero she loved, and fell into ruin while wallowing in sorrow. The Brynhildr in Passionlip is said to be the Brynhildr from Wagner’s opera cycle, and thus she appears as the warrior maiden (valkyrie) who guides the souls of the dead to heaven.
It goes without saying, depending on the circumstances even love can turn into despair, and Brynhildr tragically ends up guiding the soul of her loved one.パｯションリｯプ【アルターエゴ】
愛憎のアルターエゴ。
大きすぎる胸と凶悪な爪が印象的な少女。
BBの心の一部を摘出して作られた上級AI。
女神系のサーヴァントを切り貼りして作られたハイ・サーヴァント。
戦いは好まないが、スキル・被虐体質によって人々から襲われる事になり、仕方なく迎撃している。
内向的で、一途で、思い込みの激しい性格。
デフォルト状態から主人公に好意を持っており、早い段階から主人公を陰から見守っていた。
が、主人公に近づくものは何であれ邪魔者なのか、味方である緑茶ですら排除対象になるというヤンデレっぷりを発揮する。
イデススキルは『クラッシュ＆トラッシュ』。
視界に収まる物体[もの]なら、どれほど巨大な容量だろうと握りつぶす、虚数空間ならではの騙し絵的な圧縮技法[コーディック]）。
リップは破壊に特化しており、相手が動かないもの……地形や建物ならBB以上の破壊力を発揮する。
もっともサーヴァントやマスター相手だと、すぐに危険を察知されてリップの視界から離脱→のろまなリップは追いつけない、というオチになるのだが。
ゲーム中では屈指のパワーキャラとして登場。
相手を包み込み、ねじ切り、胸の中に仕舞って独り占めする盲目的な求愛の化身である。
パッションリップに組みこまれた女神は三体。
一神目はインドの美の女神パールヴァティー。
盲目的に、そして献身的に夫である破壊神シヴァを愛した女神。
二神目は戦いの女神ドゥルガー。
パールヴァティーの側面とされるドゥルガーは、十本の神授の武器を持っている。パッションリップの巨大な爪はその十の剣を具現化したもの。
三神目は北欧の戦いの女神ブリュンヒルト。
恋した勇者と結ばれず、哀しみから破滅を呼んだ女王。ワーグナーの楽劇においてはブリュンヒルデとされ、死者の魂を天界に送る戦乙女として登場する。
言うまでもなく、こちらの顛末も愛に絶望し、愛する者をその手にかける悲劇だった。 - ↑ 25.0 25.1 25.2 Fate/Grand Order material V - BB's profile translated by Kinalvin

[] Fate/EXTRA material - Encyclopedia: Meltlilith [Alter Ego] Meltlilith [Alter Ego]
Meltlilith is the Alter Ego of pleasure.
She is a young girl that leaves a strong impression with her feet as sharp as swords and slender body.
She is a High Level AI created from a piece of BB’s heart.
She is classified as a High Servant, and was created by cutting and pasting together pieces of Goddess type Servants.
Merciless, aggressive, and sadistic, she is CCC’s leading Queen character.
She favors structural beauty, and refuses to forgive anything less.
To Meltlilith, anyone other than the protagonist is no more than rubbish in the gutter.
Meltlilith makes it her goal to bestow the greatest pleasure possible upon the protagonist, and she is even prepared to rebel against her creator BB if necessary to achieve this.
However, that “pleasure” she plans on bestowing amounts to a monumental disaster of greater proportions that BB, and is certainly not something the protagonist would ever want to experience.
Her id_es skill is “All Drain.”
Although Meltlilith can’t completely absorb enemies into herself the way that BB can, Meltlilith can melt enemies into a pure energy form and then absorb them as XP.
Meltlilith has used All Drain to increase her level to the maximum.
If she only has Kingprotea’s “Huge Scale” skill (effectively removes level cap), she would have become the most terrible of monsters even surpassing BB.
Meltlilith refers to herself as “The Honey Queen,” she has various skills to drain her opponents.
In the game she appears as a speedster that whizzes around using ballet as a motif for her combat style. She uses her dance to run the protagonist down.
She is an incarnation of maternal instinct that goes about melting and absorbing everything in the world in order to create a world where only she and the protagonist are left.
Meltlilith was made from three Goddesses.
The first is the pure-hearted Greek Goddess of virginity, Artemis.
The second is a Goddess that appears in the Old Testament, Leviathan. Or perhaps the Rod of Asclepius version that is based on Ugaritic (Semitic) mythology, where she is known as Litan.
The third is the Hindu Goddess of rivers, Saraswati.
She has the power to manipulate anything that “flows.” Including natural phenomena, like wind or water, and also other things like music, speech, and prose.
◆
She is not usually on good terms with Passionlip.
While they don’t hate each other, things just feel sour and out of place whenever they are together. They get irritated and it often seems like a fight could break out at any moment. Basically whenever then meet they just want to get their business done quickly so they can get away from each other.
This is completely instinctual, and the reasoning is the same as why BB dislikes the Alter Egos.
Despite this instinctual dislike, Meltlilith and Passionlip are conscious of the fact that they are sisters, and Meltlilith’s final words are addressed to Passionlip, who shared the same fate.
(On the other hand it might be that the incredibly self-centered Passionlip just thinks of Meltlilith as a nuisance and one-sidedly rejects her.)
In the initial game concept there was a combination attack where Passionlip would act as a launching pad for Meltlilith by holding her in the grasp of her claws, and then she would shoot Meltlilith out like a laser beam…
It was called Virgin Laser Palladion.
Meltlilith: “Let’s do it! Make sure you do it at the same time as me, Lip!”
Passionlip: “U-uhh…! One, two, three… Please, die (with Melt)…!”
Melth Lilith is pretty pumped up about doing a combo move with Passionlip, but Passionlip is reluctant and just wants to get things over with as soon as possible.
Meltlilith always seems gets into these half-baked situations.メルトリリス【アルターエゴ】
快楽のアルターエゴ。
鋭利な刃のような両脚と、スレンダーな体が印象的な少女。
BBの心の一部を摘出して作られた上級AI。
女神系のサーヴァントを切り貼りして作られたハイ。サーヴァント。
好戦的で無慈悲。かつ加虐趣味を持つという、CCC屈指の女王キャラ。
構造的な美しさを好み、醜いものを許さない潔癖性。メルトリリスにとって主人公以外の生き物は道ばたの汚物にすぎない。
主人公に最大の快楽を与える事を目的とし、そのためなら創造主であるBBに反逆する覚悟さえある。
ただし、その『快楽』の正体はBB以上の災害であり、主人公とは決して相容れない。
イデススキルは『オールドレイン』。
BBのように相手を機能ごと取りこむ事はできないが、対象を純粋なエネルギー体まで熔解し、経験値として取りこむ事ができる。
メルトリリスはこのスキルを使って自らのレベルを限界まで上げている。
もし彼女にキングプロテアが持つ『成長制限解除』のスキルが備わっていたのなら、メルトリリスはBBをも越える最悪の怪物として現れていただろう。
自らを『蜜[どく]の女王』と名乗るだけあって、様々なドレインを扱う。
ゲーム中ではスピードスターとして登場。バレエをモチーフにした戦闘スタイルで主人公を追い詰める。
世界すべてを溶かし、取り込み、自分と主人公だけの世界を作ろうとする母性の化身。
メルトリリスに組みこまれた女神は三体。
一神目はギリシアの純潔の処女神アルテミス。
二神目は旧約聖書に登場するレヴィアタン、あるいはウガリット神話のリタンに由来する、蛇十字の杖。
三神目はインドにおける河の女神サラスヴァティー。
自然現象、中でも水や風、音楽や言葉、弁舌、詩文といった、流れるもの、を操る能力を持つ。
◆
リップとは普通に仲が悪い。
憎み合ってはいないものの、一緒にいると気まずい、イライラする、というかこのままだとケンカになりそうだから用件すませて早く別れたい、というレベル。
これはもう本能的なもので、BBがアルターエゴたちを嫌うのと同じ理由と思われる。
それでも姉妹として互いを意識しており、メルトの最期の台詞は自分と同じ運命にあったリップにあてたものだった。
（一方、自分しか見えていないリップはメルトを邪魔者として嫌っているだけ）
初期案ではリップが砲台役としてその手にメルトを乗せ、相手に向けて振りかぶり、メルトをレーザーのように射出する……というメルトとリップのコンビネーション技も考えられていた。
その名もヴァージンレイザー・パラディオン。
メルト「行くわよ！合わせなさい、リップ！」
リップ「う、うん……！せーのっ……
（メルトごと、）死んで、ください……！」
クールながらも姉妹協力技にノリノリなメルトと、ああやだ、早く終わらないかな、とイヤイヤなリップ。
この通り、微妙に損な役回りのメルトだった。 - ↑
[] Fate/EXTRA material - Encyclopedia: C.C.C. [Noble Phantasm], p.167-168 [T] C.C.C. [Noble Phantasm]
Cursed Cutting Crater.
An anti-planetary Noble Phantasm. It’s an attack that violates the world through BB’s control over Moon Cell.
It’s also a trap for artificial spiritron hackers.
By drawing out the maximum potential of BB’s EX skill Potnia Theron, a world purge via rewriting of events is carried out.
The space that BB invades becomes an imaginary space and it becomes a curse that eclipses the world. Just like its name C.C.C. it causes huge damage from the curse cutting away at reality.
The name “Cursed” is based on the image of a giant spoon that scoops out the surface of the Moon and turns it into a cursed space (the imaginary space).
During development when the shape the game would take was still being decided we considered making it a Noble Phantasm that was homage to Black Sakura.
1. Camera: Close up of BB followed by a rapid zoom out of the camera. The sky behind BB becomes black. BB, as if to welcome a man, spreads her arms wide and then melts into the darkness of the background.
2. The camera is placed even farther away; the goal is not to show the characters, but to show the backdrop and scenery. The camera shows the ground which appears to be tilted diagonally. The tilted ground and horizon make the viewer feel uneasy. The camera is pulled far back, so the horizon can be seen more clearly. On the other side of the horizon is a phantasm of a giant BB (homage to Black Sakura).
3. The giant Black Sakura, with a bewitching laugh, then reaches out and scoops up the ground that the protagonist is standing on. It looks as easy as if she just scooped out a bite of pudding.
4. The giant phantasm closes her hand and crushes everything in her hand, protagonist and all. It’s great if you can tell this is homage to the scene in Fate/stay night where Black Sakura crushes the insects of Matou Zouken.
…is what we wanted to do, but the cost to design and implement this Noble Phantasm and Black Sakura from scratch was high enough that we decided to use the money elsewhere. Hence it was axed.
Like BB says, money isn’t unlimited. In order to get the Servants all dressed up in their swimsuits, there had to be some cuts in other areas of the game.Ｃ．Ｃ．Ｃ．【宝具】
カースド・カッティング・クレーター。
対星宝具。ムーンセルを掌握したＢＢによる、世界を犯す攻撃。疑似霊子陥穽とも。
ＢＢが獲得したEXスキル『百獣受胎』を最大限に活用した、事象書き換えによるワールド・パージ。
ＢＢに侵食された空間は虚数空間となり、現実を蝕む呪いとなる。『Ｃ．Ｃ．Ｃ．』はその名の通り、現実をえぐり切り取る呪いの大穴なのだ。
カースド～という名前は、『月の表面を巨大なスプーンでえぐり取り、呪いの空間（虚数空間）にする』というイメージから。
まだゲームのイメージが固まっていない開発初期ではstaynightの黒桜をオマージュした宝具と考えられていた。
１．カメラ、ＢＢにアップからロングに思いっきり引く。ＢＢの背後の空間が黒くなる。ＢＢ、男性を迎え入れるような、両手を広げたポーズをして背後の黒領域に溶けていく。
２．カメラ、さらにロングに引く。人物を写すのではなく風景を映す絵に。地面を水平ではなく斜めに移すカメラ。地面と地平線が斜めに移ることにより、見ているユーザーの不安定さを演出する。
カメラをロングに引いたので地平線がより明確に見える。その地平線の向こうに巨大なＢＢのヴィジョン（黒桜オマージュ）が現れる。
３．巨大黒桜、妖艶に笑いながら手のひらで主人公が立つ地平ごと、ゴバッとすくいあげる。プリンをスプーンで切り取るような滑らかさ。
４．巨大黒桜のヴィジョン、主人公たちをすくい上げた空間ごと握りつぶす。Fate/staynightであった黒化した桜が間桐臓硯の虫を潰すシーンのオマージュだと分かるとグッド。
……というのをやりたくはあったが、この宝具のためにＣＣＣ版黒桜を一からデザインするコストを払うなら他にコストを払おう、という事で没に。
ＢＢも言っているように、資源は無限ではない。サーヴァントたちに水着を着せるためには、やむなくカットされるものもある。

[] Fate/EXTRA material - Encyclopedia: BBB [Other], p.205 [T] BBB [Other]
BBB is an invincible anti-servant robot of annihilation that we planned on putting into chapter three.
It was supposed to have been made from parts and pieces of old arenas, but ended up just being an easy to make alternate color version of BB. To differentiate BBB from BB, we made BBB the size of a mech. She would have probably made for a pretty disappointing boss. However BBB was to be more honest about her feelings that BB, so that could’ve been pretty cute.
Passionlip said that “BBB’s not cute” and supposedly crushed her for that reason, but perhaps it’s best not to say the real reason.ＢＢＢ【その他】
三章で登場が予定されていた、対サーヴァント用無敵繊滅ロボ。
廃棄されたアリーナをまるごと部品として使ったというが、所詮はＢＢの色違いコンパチキャラか、差別化ができてガンダムサイズ、ぐらいのガッカリボスだったと予想される。でも本人より素直な分、きっと可愛い。

[] Fate/EXTRA material - Encyclopedia: Berserker (White) [Servant?], p.202 [T] Berserker (White) [Servant?]
Berserker is the second Servant you end up fighting during the fourth round.
Her master is Monji Gatou.
She is a Funny Vamp [localized as Temptress] with tousled blond hair and crimson eyes.
She is a fan service character.
Technically not a wizard, she is just some strange creature that Gatou brought along from Earth. Sometimes a cat, sometimes Yuzu-nee, sometimes a silicon creature, Berserker is a princess that doesn’t seem to have a proper place in the game. She desperately awaits a redesign.
Incidentally, in the world of EXTRA where the information world (digital) takes precedence over the physical world, she is no longer the strongest.
This is because in the information world legend becomes reality, and natural phenomena that have been incarnated as “Gods” can often hold more power than their original natural existence does.
Well even with that being said, if Berserker regained her sanity she would easily be considered a cheat-tier Servant. Her power, “The stage is the Moon, so all targets have their power reduced to a sixth of their usual.” would be extremely useful against other similar cheat-tier Servants.
It’s a conceptual numerical alteration, so it is unavoidable when on the Moon. Even the Moon Cell transformed version of BB would be limited by it.
In EXTRA and CCC, she is about the only one who is “Capable of defeating Konjiki Hakumen (Golden White Face), no matter how small the chance might be.”パーサーカー（白）【サーヴァント？】
四回戦で戦う事になるサーヴァント、そのに。
マスターはガトーモンジ。
乱れた金髪と、深紅の凶眼を持つファニーヴァンプ。ファンサービスと人の言う。
正しくはサーヴァントではなく、ガトーが地球から連れてきた謎の存在。ネコだったり柚ねえだったり珪素生物になったりと、出番がないようで多忙なお姫さま。一刻も早いリメイクが待たれる。
ところで、物質世界より情報世界の方が主流となっているEXTRA世界においては、そう最強なワケでもない。
情報世界では伝説が真となるため、自然現象を擬神化したいわゆる”神様”が、元になった自然現象以上の力を持つ事が多々あるからだ。
そうはいっても正気に戻ればチート級になるのは間違いない。『舞台が月であるなら、あらゆる対象の能力を六分の一にする』権能は同じチート級の敵への有効な対抗手段だろう。
概念による数値変化なので、月にいるかぎり防ぐ手段は存在しない。ムーンセル化したＢＢですらこの制限を受けてしまう。
EXTRA、ＣＣＣだけの話なら、金色白面を『どれほど勝率が低くとも撃破できる状況にできる』のは彼女ぐらいである。
