@Dis Lucifer, the term Yamanbagiri Alter is actually a direct reference to the Fate series, the most famous would be Fate/Stay Night and the now world famous mobage Fate/Grand Order.

In the simplest form possible, an Alter is usually an alternative form of an original character that is in a sense a different version of that said character. Most Alters are usually a complete opposite of the said original, but they treated as completely different people. A common theme of Alters is that while they share the same common goals and belief as the original, the method that they achieved that said goal is vastly different often in a extreme measure and in some cases considered as "evil". In some cases they've become broken and a complete lost cause that is beyond saving nor redemption.

An example would be Saber Alter or Artoria Alter, where she is more likely to kill people for her own benefit something that Artoria would never do. Emiya Alter became to broken after furthering his pursuit to be the hero of justice and possibly being rape by Kiara, and Atalanta Alter where she takes her anger of being unable to save these children.

However, in FGO we justly call Alters as a more edgy and darker version of that said character. Instead of being used as a plot device, they are now treated more as gag characters. MHX Alter is a Chuunibyou, Chokita Alter falls a sleep and loves food and the famous Jeanne Alter is a Tsundere.
