While Fate/Grand Order is a game originally from 2015, it’s part of a massively popular Fate fanbase, which includes anime, a manga, console video games, and more. Fate/Grand Order was later released in America back in 2017, but it has remained popular in Japan ever since.
It’s worth noting gaming tweets were most popular in Japan, followed by the United States, and then South Korea, Thailand, Brazil, and then France.
