An old Celtic Frost song, Dawn of Meggido, came on shuffle for me earlier, and I had not realised that the name of the old town of Meggido gives us the Koine Greek Armaggedon of the Christian fever dream depicted in the Apocalypse of St John.
I'm sure that there is absolutely no connexion between this Meggido and the race seen in Saber, but it would be pretty neat if the later's naming was a reference to former. |

Given they are also after ending the world, I'd say the name was very much a reference.

I would absolutely like to believe it is, but it seems a very random detail to have in the show and not draw attention to.

I don't really know, but if that's the reason, it could probably still happen.

Haha, true. It would be nice for me personally so see it confirms so it's not just another dreamcastegirl crack theory.

Rider tends to do this; have a naming basis that doesn't really get brought up in the show

In which case, this is going to bug me for the rest of my life.

The little silver logo on the back of all the Ride Books, on all the swords that read them, and also on the Swordriver trio's head blades. It's a neat looking symbol, but while it didn't take much effort for me to figure out it's the tip of a sword (or a pen; who knows), I didn't figure out until very recently the design on the inside is that of a book being opened, with the left edge being the book's spine, the big shape being the cover, and the other lines representing pages. Kind of embarrassing to not notice for this long when I love Saber this much, but I don't know; it's just such a stylish abstract design I never really thought about it too hard I guess.

Hey, and speaking of representing both Saber's themes at once, you guys know this thing, right?

A friend pointed this out to me: Touma is spamming elemental dragon cause he’s keeping his promise to the Dragon in the Primitive Dragon book! I hope that elemental still gets used after the final form debuts.
