Voice Actor of Fate's Astolfo Reacts to Character Name Trending on Twitter

posted on by Kim Morrissy
Faye Mata realized in real time that Astolfo trended for... not exactly a wholesome reason

A few days ago, the Fate character Astolfo trended on Fate/Apocrypha anime, posted about how happy she was to see the character trend on Twitter.

Disillusionment soon crept into her tweets in real time.

As for the reason why Astolfo was trending? Well... (NSFW warning) A cosplayer wearing a cosplay of Astolfo in a skirt revealed a photo of his genitals. The photo also included a large Monster can as a clear frame of reference. The viral tweet inspired jokes and artwork (both safe and decidedly not safe for work) revolving around Astolfo and the Monster energy drink.

In other words, you could say it was just an ordinary day on Twitter.

Faye Mata took the incident in stride, capping things off with a gif of the character and a "thank you for a... memorable day."

Faye Mata won the People's Choice Award for Best Female ing Vocal Performance in an Anime Television Series/The Rising of The Shield Hero.
