[Back to Episode List]



Kiritsugu:
By my third Command Seal, I order you again…

Saber:
STOOOOOOP!!!

Kiritsugu:
Now Saber, destroy the Holy Grail!

Saber:
How could I possibly hope to know a man… for merely three commands alone? I… I never even knew the hearts of those who served me well… more closest to me. Perhaps all this… was a punishment [meeted / meted] out to a king who cannot understand others...

[Angra Mainyu were still alive]

Kiritsugu:
Uh… that can’t…

Archer:
Ah?

[Mad falls]

Kiritsugu:
Can’t be… It’s impossible!

[Mad consumed entire city]

Illyasviel:
Uh? Daddy?

Irisviel:
Illyasviel? What’s wrong?

Illyasviel:
I had a really scary dream. A dream were… were I become a really big cup. And then I dreamed that… the seven gigantic lumps started to come into my body. It felt like, they were gonna tear me a part. It’s really scary. But I… can’t run a way. And then, I hear the voice. [A voice of his tears (???like 'the lord of something..???) / of Lord Justeaze]. After that, A big black hall opens up above my head. And then, the world [burn / burns]. Daddy looks sad at all. And just… begins to cry. Mother? Is daddy okay? Is he scared in alone? Is he in trouble?

Irisviel:
It’s okay. Daddy’s doing the best he can for you. He’ll make certain that our prayers are realized. So you’ll never have to be scared again. Illyasviel…

Illyasviel:
Um, that’s right. I know he will. Daddy always works very hard. He’ll finish all this important workand he’ll come home. As soon as he possibly can.


Kariya:
Hey… Sakura… Come on…

Sakura:
Uncle?

Kariya:
I’m here to save you… it’s okay now… let’s go…

Rin:
Ah… it’s Sakura! Sakura! Sakura! Sakura!

Aoi:
Kariya,

Kariya:
Hi, Aoi.

Rin:
Thank you, uncle Kariya.

Sakura:
Thank you so much…

Rin&Sakura:
Daddy Kariya!

[Kariya’s body were consumed by warms]

Sakura:
You’re such a fool. Never disobey grandfather…


Kirei:
Where am I?

Archer:
You’re a difficult man to look after. Digging you out from underneath all of this rubble was quiet a troublesome endeavor.

Kirei:
Gilgamesh… What happened?

Archer:
Who can say? That mud spit me out and here I am. I imagine that to be an obvious message from Heaven, that I should return to this age to rule the world.

Kirei:
Are you saying you have achieved incarnation?

Archer:
Ha, infuriatingly enough. I can’t believe we struggled over that ridiculous thing as if it were actually a wish granter. This ill-conceived and disappointing play remained a meaningless farce right to the very end.

Kirei:
But I was shot… I don’t get it… [Gasps] I have no heartbeat. Did you somehow heal me and bring me back to life? Gilgamesh?

Archer:
The fact is I really have no idea. To my eyes, you still seem quite dead. But the two of us were connected by our pact. When I regained flesh within that mud, perhaps you were trapped in some sort of magical nonsense of your own.

Kirei:
Impossible… You’re saying that thing granted me life?

Archer:
All the other Servants are gone. So I suppose we must be the ones who have won the Grail. Kirei, behold the result of our victory. If it is true that the Grail grants the victor’s heartfelt wish, what you see before you, Kirei Kotomine, is your wish. It is exactly what you most desired.

Kirei:
Heh heh heh... Hahahahaha...

Archer:
Hm?

Kirei:
Hahahahaha! This is it?! What the hell does this make me?! What manner of dark evil! What manner of cruelty! This? This is my wish?! This horrible destruction and tragedy?! This is the joy I sought? Could something so twisted… so corrupt… have truly sprung forth from the seed of Father Risei Kotomine?! Hahahahaha… No way! It is impossible! Did my father sire a soulless demon more evil than the Devil himself? Hahahahaha…

Archer:
Are you satisfied now? Kirei?

Kirei:
No… no, not yet. This isn’t merely enough. Yes, it is true that my life of questions has finally found its answer. However, the problem solving process itself was skipped over and the solution was just simply handed to me. How is it that I’m supposed to accept all this at face value? The formula that yielded this strange, unsettling answer should exist somewhere. As a greater, clearer principle one can understand. No… Not should, it must. I must question… I must search… I must dedicate the remainder of my life... to fully understanding it.

Archer:
You know, you never fail to bore me… As you like. Your questions would slay the very gods. I shall watch you seek out your answer.

Kiritsugu:
Hm... Angra Mainyu… I will reach it again. And next time, I will see it to the end. Its birth, the proof of its existence. Hm?

[Kirei found Kiritsugu]

Kirei:
Kiritsugu Emiya… I accept your challenge. Huh?

Archer:
What’s the matter? Kirei?

Kirei:
Nothing…


Shirou:
I remember the look on his face. The tears in his eyes. Over finding someone alive in a rubble. A man filled with joy from the bottom of his heart. He looks so happy to me. It was almost as though, it had been him been saved that day. And not me…

Kiritsugu:
He is alive… He is alive… He is alive!

Shirou:
And then, so fervently that even as I teared on the brink of death. I felt jealous of him. He said “Thank you”. That he was grad that he could found someone. That by saving even one person, he had saved himself.


Fate/Zero



News Caster:
And now, for our next story. The explosion that occurred in…

Martha:
I hoped that Alexey made him back to his home in England safely.

Waver:
He called me this morning from Heathrow Airport. That idiot forgot all about time difference.

Martha:
Oh, he called? I didn’t hear the phone ring. But then, it’s just like him to do that.

Gren:
Huhuhuhu…

Waver:
Hey, grandpa and grandpa… I have a favor to ask. If it’s okay.

Gren:
What is it? Waver? Speak your mind.

Waver:
Um… Actually, I’m thinking of taking some time off in school. Of course, I’ll talk to dad in Toronto about it first. There’s something that I want to spend my time on more than studies at school.

Gren:
Oh?

Martha:
My goodness. But what brought this on, dear? Is it school? You aren’t fed up with it, will you?

Waver:
No, it’s not that. You see, so far I didn’t really have been interested in anything besides studying. I’m regretting that a little. And so… I’d like to do some travel.

Martha:
Oh, my. Did you hear that, Gren my dear? Waver just said something that sound exactly like something that Alexey would say.

Gren:
Huhuhuhuhu…

Waver:
Anyway… there’s a lot I had to do first. And I’ll need money to do it to. For starters, I was thinking of finding a part time job. And so, um… to make a long story a lot shorter, If you… wouldn’t mind too much… could I possibly stay here until I get everything worked out?

Martha:
Uh! Of course you can, Waver dear. It will be so wonderful to have you live here with us for a while longer. We’ll have to celebrate today.

[In Waver’s room]

Waver:
Oh, look at this. He was just a spirit. So I don’t get he could possibly left such a mess behind. I really did want him to take me with him. I guess, it basically means that I’m just not there yet. I’m not ready. He never even got the chance to open this… too bad. Uh?

[Waver found the T-shirt]

Waver
Unlimited-Edition with an original T-shirt. Doesn’t he once even wants stuff like this? What an idiot…


Kirei:
I know that my redeemer, lives. And that in the end, he will stand upon the earth. And though, after my skin worms to destroy this body, yet in my fresh, shall I see God. I myself, foresee him with my own eyes. I, and not another. How my heart yearns within me. Amen.


Kirei:
Rin, it was an excellent debut for the young head of the Tosaka Family. Your late father would’ve been very pleased with you today. Well done.

Rin:
Um…

Kirei:
You haven’t quite grown fully accustomed to your crest yet I see. Does it heart?

Rin:
It’s nothing. I’m fine.

Kirei:
It seems that Tokiomi’s preparations for you was flawless. I imagine that all magic that Tosaka family has accumulated, Rin, will passed to you without incident. Well, why don’t you go and fetch your mother now?

Rin:
Yes. I’ll do that. Come on mother, let’s say our last goodbye to father.

Aoi:
Uh, Rin? Is it someone’s funeral today?

Rin:
That’s right mother. Father died.

Aoi:
Oh, dear. Then I should take out Tokiomi’s black suit. Oh, and Rin. Help Sakura get changed, will you? My,what should I do? I have to get myself ready to go too. Goodness, dear. Your necktie isn’t on straight. Huhuhu… You need to look good. After all, you’re the father of Sakura and Rin.

Kirei:
I have to go away. I’ll leaving Japan for a while. Do you… have any immediate concerns?

Rin:
Not at all. I don’t need your help for anything!

Kirei:
We will next meet six month from now. At that time, I will conduct a second crest transplantation. Take care that you’re peak physical condition when I return.

Rin:
I know. Don’t need to tell me.

Kirei:
Rin. You’re now the head of the Tosaka Family both in name and reality. And to commemorate this day, I’d like to offer you a very special gift. An Azot Dagger. When my master acknowledge the result of my training and declared the final complete, he presented this to me. But given the circumstances, I think you should have it.

Rin:
Ah… this was… my father’s?


Saber:
I’m here… again… Ugh… Every one… let… Lancelot…

Sir Lancelot:
Because, I could not stop myself from loving Guinevere. I was never able to forgive myself…

Saber:
AAAAHHHH!!

Sir Lancelot:
But, King Arthur… you never once spoken my many sins. You never [sorted torment (??? like 'atonement" ???)for me / sought atonement from me]. You simply continue to stand before us in your righteousness. But deep in my heart, I desired judgment at your hands. Had your anger judged me, had your righteousness condemned me, I might not a fallen on to the path of madness and my [request for / quest to] atone, and save my immortal soul.

Saber:
I’m sorry… I’m sorry… I… ah… I am not worthy…

Sir Lancelot:
But this much I can say for certainty. King Arthur…

Saber:
One day friend… I will claim the Grail…

Sir Lancelot:
You were the greatest King of all kings who have ever lived. All of those of the Round Table who served you…

Sir Lancelot:
It was not I…

Sir Lancelot:
Felt the same… as I did…

Saber:
I shouldn't have been a king…


Kiritsugu:
After that day, I visited the Einzberns many times. But as I did not return with the Grail, Jubstacheit never open the forest’s barrier for me. And so, I never saw Illya again. However, I swore that Illyasviel would be the person I would ever loose. My life was meant to be one solely of loss. But, everyone is still here. Just like when we met. Once I was able, I adopted my son, Shirou. The little boy I saved that day.

-Five years later-

Shirou:
Hey, hey, old man!

Kiritsugu:
Hum?

Shirou:
If you’re so tired, you are gonna fall asleep. Go to bed.

Kiritsugu:
Huh? Right… I’m fine. When I was little, I really wanted to be a hero.

Shirou:
What are you talking about? You don’t want to anymore? Did you just give up?

Kiritsugu:
Yeah. Unfortunately. Seems that wish has an exploration day. When you grow up, it’s hard to call yourself one. Huhu… I wish I’d realized that sooner.

Shirou:
I see. Well, guess there’s nothing you can do about it.

Kiritsugu:
Yeah, right. I guess not… [sigh] it really is a nice moon tonight.

Shirou:
Fine, since you can’t do it, I’m gonna be a hero for you!

Kiritsugu:
Huh?

Shirou:
You’re an adult now. So you cannot do it anymore. But I still can. Just leave it me! I’ll make it happen.

Kiritsugu:
All right… you do that… I can rest easy now…


Shirley:
Tell me, Kelly? What do you wanna grow up to be?

Kiritsugu:
Well… what I wanna be… is a “Hero”.
