Since the mods on Honako stream are a bunch of jerks, i'll try to explain my viewpoint about medusa's NP here.

I guess i shouldn't have said that her being a Rider makes no sense, because it actually does. Instead, i should have said that it being called "Bellerophon" doesn't make sense.The only connection between them is the pegasus, nothing more.

But that doesn't change the fact that she's a mess of a character. Nasu took every aspect of her and put into a single servant.

She's presented in her human form, when she was an Athena's priestess, before she was raped by Poseidon. But then she already has the ability to turn people into stone, which should be a Gorgon's thing.

And then there's the Bellerophon's part. Bellerophon is the name of the greek hero who mounted Pegasus to defeat the Chimera. But here it is depicted as if the Pegasus itself was called Bellerophon.

So i do correct myself when saying that she shouldn't be a Rider. But i still think she's represented poorly here. It would be so much better if her Rider version was a "pure" and "sanctified" Medusa, who was "forgiven" by Athena (even though she did nothing wrong, Poseidon did) and got to raise her children, Pegasus and Chrysaor. And not as a dominatrix on a white horse.
