The year before last year the made the New Years GSSR into the Thanksgiving GSSR for some unknown reason. However, since the did it early it didn't include the London servants like Jack & Mordread which resulted in a lot of backlash from the community.

So this year they went back to the original timeline and made the New Years GSSR during New Year. But they knew people would complain if the annual GSSR they decided to make during Thanksgiving didn't happen. So they split the New years banner and gave us the Collab Servants who wont get another rate-up for over a year to distract people...

They could've given us a extra GSSR or not had a Thanksgiving campaign or done a new/independant banner for thanksgiving but they decided "let's pretend were being generous and make the gap between the next Shiki banner ~1 year and 4 months and the Iskander banner 1 Year and 11 months so people will be too distracted to complain!"
