What?

Well Kojiro is an ok character but I always thought he's largely pointless in a set up like this, we'd just be flat out repeating canon with him as the seventh.

Well, yeah, of course. But, equally, it makes it a lot easier to give Sakura the role she deserves without making the entire story Sakura-centric.

the thing about a story like this is that we don't have to worry about that.

Ah, OK, I see.

Well, I am not too comfortable with the idea of just randomly turning other characters into Assassin on very vague pretenses. Kojiro was Assassin because Medea cheated, normally Assassin is meant to be Hassan.

Well, no, but we also don't want to be basically repeating HF....

Hassan is dull, and they do not have to be assassin.

Canonically-speaking they are meant to be.

Well, yes, true. It would have to follow HF to a certain extent, though....

Well, in that it will have to deal with Zouken and get the worms out of Sakura somehow....

Well, no, but I'd also want Sakura to get involved in the story, rather than being saved and then basically ignored (or having only a very peripheral role).

i imagine importance will rotate depending on arc and chapter.

Well, yeah, of course, but that does require her to have a role to play aside from being saved....

I do think that's something to discuss once she gets saved, not before really.

Not entirely, because how she gets saved will affect that (particularly Rider's fate).

Well, yes, obviously.

Like I said before, I'm not overly bothered, aside from saying that I'd like to keep Rider as Sakura's servant.

Also, if we're not using Caster's canonical master we need to find a replacement....
