In February of 2019, the North American version of Fate/Grand Order released a visual redesign of a character named Emiya(Alter) that looked different from other regions. In the story, the character’s skin turns dark as a result of overusing magic. For the western version, this darkened skin has been lightened to avoid associating with racist depiction of black face. A related line where another character Tamamo-no-Mae calls Emiya(Alter) as Detroit Emiya was also changed to Edgy Emiya. Fans react to this change differently on Twitter. Some view positively to the change while others believe this ignores the backstory and intention of the original artist. [1]
