Saber Musashi Joins "Fate/Grand Order" For New Year's Event
The Fate/Grand Order smartphone RPG is gearing up for the kick-off of Epic of Remnant, a 1.5 bridge to part two of its story. In the meantime, it's gotten in a bit of New Year's celebration that including introduction of a new gender-swapped servant with legendary Japanese sword-genius Miyamoto Musashi.
Epic of Remnant is described:
The character that narrates the Trailer PV of Epic of Remnant gives that the story is to take place following the failure of Retrogression Canal・Genesis Light-Year (逆行運河・創世光年, Gyakkou-Unga・Sousei-Kounen) (also the name of the Arc Drive used by Aozaki Aoko in Melty Blood) -- "a bit of detective-work" that serves as a prelude to the 2nd Project. The coming conflict will be premised upon something that Chaldea critically overlooked in their efforts to preserve the Common Sense of Man -- "the beloved legacy of the King of Magecraft."

Is there a reason as to why is it sort of a meme to make so many edits of Melty Blood Len in Mugen?
I've actually been thinking about how I could talk about that so thanks for asking about it.
For those who don't know, Len is the female lead from Tsukihime's follow-up game, Kogetsu Tohya.
In Melty Blood, Tsukihime's effective sequel, "another version" of her appears called White Len who has an entirely different personality.
It's a long-running trend in MUGEN for people to make all kinds of versions of her with no real explanation why.
I haven't got into much Melty Blood or Type-Moon stuff, but I consulted the Nico Nico MUGEN wiki for answers.
Len and White Len have separate pages but there's 3rd page for listing unique versions of her in chronological order.
So to my understanding a factor in the idea is in the Type-Moon self-parodies, TAKE MOON and Carnival Phantasm, there's a scene involving 3 additional versions of Len as the 5 Len Sentai.
People thought it would be cool to recreate the group in MUGEN, and that's likely the start of it.
What's interesting is that apparently the first notably unique version and one of the more popular is Red Len or "Ren" by Lycoris.
From what I can tell she has the same backstory as Len, but she runs an antique shop. She learned to survive on her own and is adjusted to society, her favorite cigarette brand is Infiniti and she likes whiskey.
Ren is popular enough that she's commonly treated as an individual character rather than being a version of Len.
She's pretty unique for what she is, she sticks out among the Lens with crazier concepts like Football Len or ones that are based off of Mechas.
Among other things
