The leopard-tiger-jaguar-panther lady would go on to become a surprisingly popular Servant later.

＠Heroine XX
That was the midseason episode that was absurdly popular among children.
[k]
＠Heroine XX
It led to all sorts of spin-off series that took place on the mysterious planet of Guntama.

Right around the time that episode aired, X and I were known as agents capable of single-handedly destroying entire planets in the course of our missions.

So when the two of us worked together, we could limit the collateral damage to a single planet.

There were also other students from the academy, and even some teachers who were also active hero Servants.

By that point, it was no longer just a school assignment, but an important military operation.

...Esaba is an artificial planet that is in reality two planets connected by an interstellar bridge.
[k]
＠X Alter
It's home to an enormous factory that was targeted and occupied by the League of Villains.
[k]
＠X Alter
The villains repurposed the factory's incredible technology to create a huge army of military robots.
[k]
＠X Alter
While the individual units were no match for a Servant, the danger they posed came from their sheer, overwhelming numbers.
[k]
＠X Alter
Our mission was to recover the manufacturing[sr]base in order to break the deadlock.
