Kingprotea (キングプロテア, Kingupurotea?) is a High-Servant of BB in Fate/Extra CCC Fox Tail.
Profile
Identity
Alter Ego G (アルターエゴ G, Arutā Ego G?), whose True Name is Kingprotea, is a High-Servant created by BB.[1] With the G meaning "gigantism, growing, greed", She was created from BB accessing the Moon Cell's Servant Archive and selecting goddesses compatible with Ego from inside of it. Unlike the others composed of several goddesses, she was created from the essence of the Earth Mother Goddess, common throughout all mythologies.[1] Her ranking amongst the Sakura Five is the lowest position, but her presence in SE.RA.PH is the strongest.[3] She was originally sealed by BB at the ends of the imaginary number space.
Appearance
Due to her id_es "Huge Scale", she is a large version of Sakura.[3]
Personality
Kingprotea is the "Alter Ego of thirst of love."
Development
Kingprotea was originally meant to be a character in Fate/Extra CCC before being cut in development. She was planned to cause chaos while Hakuno was traveling through Sakura Labyrinth for a long time; she would try and prevent Hakuno from passing onwards by breaking the passage.[3]
Role
Fate/Extra CCC Fox Tail
Kingprotea appears in the dream world of the trapped Hakuno Kishinami, BB orders Violet and Kingprotea to kill Hakuno. She tries to kill Hakuno by rampaging across Tsukumihara Academy. She ate Shinji Matou who she assumed was Hakuno. After Kingprotea fails to accomplish her task, Violet decides to finish him herself. Hakuno summons Caster and she frees Hakuno from the dream world by waking Hakuno with a punch.
Abilities
Kingprotea next to Hakuno Kishinami.
Though she lacks a Noble Phantasm, her self can be treated as a Noble Phantasm, acting as a hazard that can only be overcome in battle through the combined strength of several servants much like Amaterasu. Her id_es skills are Huge Scale (ヒュージスケール, Hyūji Sukēru?) and Grow Up Grow (グロウアップグロウ, Gurou Appu Gurou?), cheat skills evolved from Self-Modification and Experience Point Bonus. Although already extremely large, Huge Scale makes it so that there is no limit to how large she can become, increasing the upper limit as the previous upper limit is reached. Repeating the process infinitely, it is "infinite growth of infinite growth." With the potential to become a "planet-destroying, universe-level disaster", the giant transformation makes her lose complex intelligence and function. As it cannot bear common sense, the user will completely self-destruct. Grow Up Grow cheats to modify "Experience Point Bonus", which allows the user to gain a bonus percentage of experience points after a battle, to "Always gaining Experience Points."
Her Self-Suggestion skill raises resistance against mental interference. While even A rank can make the "I do not age = Truly stops aging" level of assumption possible, her EX rank makes the happenings in her mental world outside of all understanding.[3]

サクラフアイブの一体。
際限なく成長するアル夕一エゴ。

ようは迷宮を破壞する大魔神。ラスポスを上回る隱しボス。ただし、倒しても得られるEXP は1。みたいな。
一定値より大き〈なるとBBのかけたプロテクトが発動し、箱詰蹟め状態になつてしまう。箱に詰まつてしまうと、その中でプロテアがどこまで育つているのかは誰にも計測できなくなる。

[] Fate/EXTRA material - Encyclopedia: Kingprotea [Alter Ego], p.176-178 Kingprotea [Alter Ego]
Kingprotea is one of the Sakura Five that didn’t happen.
She’s the Alter Ego of craving and desire.
On one hand she is the lowest ranked of the Sakura Five, but on the other hand she is the strongest within SE.RA.PH.
A giant Sakura with the id_es skill “Huge Scale.”
She tend to come and interfere with players who spend a long time in the labyrinth. She destroys paths as she moves along, so she would prevent players from repeating the same actions or grinding the same area. She’s an adorably foolish character who destroys parts of the dungeon when she trips and falls.
In areas outside of the Arena she was to be a rare epic encounter. A wondrous colossal colossus, just like the massive warship that comes along in Darius1. Rather than being a character designed to liven up the story, she is a character to liven up our game design.
For example, within the Arena, she would evoke situations like “I can see an item box ahead, but there is a huge hand blocking the way,” or “I see a transparent box-thingy over there with Sakura stuffed inside, I can’t get through.”
We were thinking of using her as a “living wall” type gimmick where after eventually defeating her you would be able to get at those item boxes.
She was set to be a slave-tier character who is constantly bullied and abused by attack programs on the far side of the Moon.
“A main personality of a Sakura who is more worthless than those lowly mass produced Sakura enemies,” Kingprotea Sakura was to be the materialization of this bullying mentality. Isn’t it just terrible that there exists a Sakura being bullied even within Sakura’s inner mind!?
Actually, she just barely missed the cut as a boss character.
Since she was not involved in the story we were planning to make her a hidden boss, but unfortunately she was cut.
Here are some bits and pieces that were planned for her in the game:
Waste:
Kingprotea is an Alter Ego created from BB, however she is considered too dangerous to reside anywhere on the Moon, so she is disposed of into a place with “nothing,” in short, the emptiness of outer space.
This Alter Ego should never come into contact with anyone.
She is the materialization of the desire for love.
She gobbles up anything and everything around her and grows bigger and bigger, which results in her having a bigger stomach that requires even more food. She engages in a malicious cycle of consumption and growth which represents the human desire itself.
Passionlip and Meltlilith are her sisters, but it’s unknown if they are on good terms or not.
Fallen Seraphic Cage:
Klein Cube.
A baby with a bottomless stomach, basically a giant hole. A cage built to contain the Kingprotea who blindly desires love. Just like Angelica Cage in the Moon Cell’s Core, it is a physical container made using photonic crystals.
BB, who realized the danger Kingprotea posed, seals her in the Fallen Seraphic Cage. Although BB sealed Kingprotea inside, nobody knows how massive Kingprotea might have become.
Huge Scale: EX
An id_es skill. id_es skills are the inborn special powers of the Alter Egos.
Her “Self Modification” cheat skill goes out of control and activates Huge Scale EX.
It enables unlimited expansion of her size and scale.
Due to limitations imposed by the force of gravity on Earth, life forms have an upper limit on their size. Even in the sea, the size of a whale is more of less as big as it can get. The same goes for buildings, due to limitations of construction technology and financing; there is nothing that can be infinitely enlarged. This also holds true in the cyber world where the laws of physics don’t apply.
All programs have a limit on their level, and no matter how greatly a program excels, in order to surpass its boundary it must separate and optimize itself.
(As a rule, when a program gets bigger the speed of communication with the hardware terminal drops, so a program needs to be split into various specialized parts. So called God-spirits are an example of this, having successfully split up their processes into multiple avatars.)
However, the owner of this skill, Kingprotea, can grow without end. When her level exceeds the limit, she expands the boundary herself and sets an even higher max limit. This can be repeated infinitely.
Kingprotea has no desire to complicate things, it’s just that she has specialized in “swallow” therefore she is unable separate from her ability to enlarge which is vital to her specialization.
The result is that she is unable to create duplicates of herself (avatar) that is of normal size and limitation, and as a lone Ego she is destined to continue to enlarge.
If left alone, she will end up becoming a disaster on a universe scale that would destroy the stars, however she would not destroy the universe itself. This is because the speed at which the universe is expanding is faster than the speed at which Kingprotea is enlarging.
Grow Up Grow: EX
This is her cheat skill “Experience Point Bonus” gone out of control.
“Experience Point Bonus” is supposed to increase the amount of XP gained from battle by a certain percent, but Kingprotea further hacked the skill so that she receives a continuous stream of XP. Although this skill seems rather threatening, there is an upper level limit set for all programs.
Anyone who obtains this skill can effortlessly achieve the highest level in the game; however it only increases the target’s level, and does not improve their stats.
If you compare a character who achieved max level through fair play to a character who used this cheat skill to achieve max level, the cheater character’s stats will be far lower. This is, in other words, a so-called “trap skill.”
Infantile Regression:
The opposite of aging.
BB created this cursed skill with much difficulty in order to impose some restrictions on Kingprotea.
Once Kingprotea’s age has surpassed a predefined value this curse restores her to the state she was in at a younger age. It’s a protective process that prevents her from ever reaching an adult age.
This curse starts to take effect when Kingprotea reaches age 20, and restores her back to her 8 year old state. When returned to the age of 8 her growth resumes again, so this cycle is a repeating loop.
Setting:
The limit of craving and desire:
Because it’s fun, because it tastes good, because it’s warm.
Without these kinds of animalistic impulses she pursues love without a reason for doing so— This is Kingprotea’s Ego “Craving and Desire.”
The incarnation of a certain bodhisattva carries the sin of “without a goal, to fill the universe with love for myself,” but this Ego follows “without a goal, for myself, crave the love found in the universe.”
Originally no one was supposed to find her, to understand her, to defeat her. She would simply be floating along in the void of space. But eventually a curious Master would come across her, and they would do battle.
Is Kingprotea just a pure infant? An abominable disaster? Has she sinned? In any case, those of us who live in this age of mass consumption have no right to judge her. The proof of humanity that everyone has.
The strongest and most fundamental Ego. But until the day comes when her “desire without limit” can be used for good rather than evil, she is destined to continue floating in the empty sky.
By the way, her natural enemy is Passionlip. In theory Lip’s “Trash & Crash” skill makes it possible to seal Kingprotea away. The Alter Ego sisters seem to enjoy a triangular power relationship where Lip beats Protea, Protea beats Melt, and Melt beats Lip.
Noble Phantasm:
None. Huge Scale essentially qualifies as a Noble Phantasm.キングプロテア【アルターエゴ】
実現しなかったサクラフアィプの一人。
渇愛のアルターエゴ。
サクラフアィプの中でも最下層の位置づけでありながら、SE.RA.PH最強の存在でもある。
イデススキル『ヒュージスケール』を持つでか桜。
長時間迷宮にいると現れるお邪魔キャラで、通路を壊しながら進む氷久パターン防止キャラ。転んでダンジョン破壊とかバカ可愛い。
アリーナの通路の外、海を泳いでやっ てくる白鯨のようなもの。 まんまワンダど巨像の巨像、ダライアスの巨大戦艦である。物語を盛り上げるのではなく、ゲームデザインを盛り上げるキャラとして用意された。
例えばアリーナ内において、
『奥にアイテムフォルダが見えるけど、巨大な手が邪魔して通れない』、
『箱のような透明の容器にみっちりとサクラがつまっていて通れない』、
等々、色々な『肉壁』 ギミックを用意し、いつかこのエゴを倒せたらアイテムフォルダを人手できる.....といった用途が考えられていた。
月の裏側では攻性プログラムたちにさえ虐待される奴隷階級で、「量産型サクラエネミーより下に、桜の主人格がある」といういじめられ精神の具現だった。
桜の心理世界でずら、 いじめられる桜がいるという酷い現実……!
実はギリギリまで採用が検討されていたボス。
ストーリーに絡まないため、隠しボスの一体として予定に人つていたのだが、やむなく没になった。
以下はそんな、ゲーム中に使用予定だつたマトリクスの断片である。
・廃棄物：
キングプロテアはBBから作られたアルターエゴではあろが、あまりにも危険なため月の表でもなく裏でもない“何もない”宇宙に捨てられた廃棄物である。
何人であれ、このエゴには触れてはいけない。
キングプロテアは愛を求める欲望の具現。
周囲にある何もかもをも呑みこんで成長し、さらに肥大化した空腹を満たすため食事を繰り返し、また成長する。その悪循環は人間のエゴそのものである。パッションリップとメルトリリスの妹にあたるが、姉妹仲が良いのかどうかは不明。
・堕天の檻：
クライン・キューブ。
底なしの赤子。 あるいは穴。盲目的に愛を求めろキングフロテアを閉じこめるために作られた檻。月の中枢・熾天の檻と同じく、フォトニック結晶によって作られた物理的な“容れ物”でもある。
キングプロテアの危険性に気づいたBBが堕天の檻で封印したものの、プロテアが檻の中でどれだけの規模に肥大化しているのか、知るものはいない。
・ヒュージスケール：EX
id_es（イデス）と呼ばれる、アルターエゴたちが生まれながらに持つ特殊能力。
スキル『自己改造』が暴走したチートスキル。
限界のない規模拡大を可能とする。
地上では重力などの縛りがあろため、生命は一定以上の規格にはなれない。海中の生命であっても、鯨が最大限のサイズである。建造物も同じことで、建築学の技術・資金調達等の問題で、無限に大きくなっていくモノなどありえない。それは物理法則にとらゎれない、電脳世界においても同様である。
あらゆるプログラムにはレペル制限がかけられており、どれほど優れた個体であれ、一定以上の容童に達すると分離し、自らを最適化する。
（規格が大きなると未端ヘの伝達速度が落ちるため、専門職のパーツを切り分けろ。神霊と言われるものが多くのアパターを持つのもこの例に当てはまる）
しかし。このスキルを持つキングプロテアはひたすらに成長する。レペルが上限に達すると自らの規格を巨大化させ、さらなるレペル上限を設定。これを無限に繰り返す。
キングプロテアぱ自らを複雑化させる意志がなく、ただ“飲む”ことだけに特化しているため、肥大化した機能を専門職に分けないのだ。
結果、制御できない自分を持て余して分身（アパター）を作ることなく、単一 のエゴとして膨張し続けてしまう。
放置しておけば星を破壊する宇宙レペルの災厄だが、この無限増殖で宇宙が滅ぴる事はない。プロテアが増殖していくスピードより宇宙が広がるスピードの方が速いためだ。
・グロウアップグロウ：EX
スキル『経験値ボーナス』が暴走したチートスキル。
『経験値ボーナス』は戦闘によって得る経験値に何パーセントかの追加ポーナスが人るものだが、キングプロテアはこのスキルをさらにチート化、『常時、経験値を取得する』ものに変えてしまった。
脅威と言えば脅威のスキルではあるものの、あらゆる個体には上限レベルが設定されている。
このスキルは取得者を労せず最高レペルにするだけのもので、能力値を強化させるものではない。
むしろ戦闘経験をこなさずに最高レベルに達してしまうため、完全成長時でのパラメーターはまっとうに鍛えた場合より低いものになってしまうだろう。
俗に言う『罠スキル』であるのだが————
・幼化現象：
老化現象の逆をいう。
BBが苦労して作り上げた拘束スキル。
年齢が一定値に達すると幼体に若返ってしまう呪い。決して成人（成長）させないためのプロテクト。
このスキルが付与しているキングプロテアはニ十歳に達すると若返りはじめ、八歳児にまで戻った後また成長を始める、というループ状態にある。
・セッテング
渇愛の果て：
楽しいから、美味しいから、温かいから。
動物的な理由でさしたる目的もなく愛を求め続ける————それがキングプロテアのエゴ、“渇愛”である。
ある菩薩の化身は“目的もなく、己がために宇宙を愛で満たす” 悪であったが、このエゴは“理由なく、己がために宇宙中の愛を求める”悪である。
木来なら誰に見つけられる事もなく、理解される事もなく、倒される事もなく、無の宇宙を漂うだけだったが物好きなマスターによって発見去され、対決する事になったようだ。
彼女が無垢な嬰児なのか、醜悪な災害なのかは、罪が有るのか無いのか、消費文明に生きる我々に裁きは下せない。
誰もが持つ人間の証。
最強にして基本のエゴである “際限なく求める心”が悪ではなく善として利用できる日が来る事を夢見て、キングプロテアは無のソラを漂い続ける。
ちなみに天敵はリップ。理論上、リップのトラッシュ&クラッシュならプロテアを封じ込める事が可能となろ。アルターエゴたちはリップ→プロテア→メルト→リップ……といった三竦み状態であるらしい。
・宝具
なし。ヒュージスケールが宝具に該当する。
