#Fate stay night visual novel unlimited blade works series
Iri is also a fantastic addition to the universe as Illya’s mother and does show some character progression as the series goes on, experiencing the world for the first time and becoming her own person. If it will save the world, I’ll do it gladly.” Even if that means staining my hands with every evil in the world, I don’t care. I’ll make sure the blood I spill in Fuyuki is the last blood humanity will ever shed. Kiritsugu: “I will end this ceaseless cycle. You believed in a hero to save the world. In youth, deep down, you must’ve wanted to become a hero. I don’t know what betrayed you and caused you to fall into such despair in the past.īut your rage and sorrow are found only in those who once sought justice. Saber: “Kiritsugu, do you understand? If you do evil out of a hatred for evil, that rage and hate will merely birth new conflict. I am simply waging that battle using the most appropriate methods at my disposal. I will win the Holy Grail and save the world.
I don’t allow private feelings to interfere.
Iri: “ Then Kiritsugu, is your hatred for Heroic Spirits the reason why you force Saber to endure such humiliation?” The true nature of humanity has not advanced a step beyond the Stone Age.” And the reason for that is, in every era, a dazzling hero has blinded people with their legends and prevented them from seeing the evil of bloodshed. Yet humanity has never recognized this truth. Just a crime we call victory, paid for by the pain of the defeated. Our Heroic Spirit here thinks the battlefield is something better than hell. Otherwise, every war would bring hell to this world! “ Saber: “They are not illusions! Even the taking of life, as a human act, must have laws and ideals. Such illusions, perpetrated by heroes throughout history, have led countless young men to their bloody deaths, all for the sake of this valor and glory.” They call certain methods of fighting good and others evil, acting as if there were some nobility to the battlefield. Kiritsugu: “ Knights cannot save the world. Saber: “ You would insult chivalry to my face, fiend!?” Kiritsugu: “ Honor and glory…theres’ no point in speaking to a killer who takes pride in such things. The only words shared between Kiritsugu and Saber directly are incredibly powerful, and was done on purpose. Kotomine also has that pivotal moment where he commits the ultimate betrayal, cementing his path towards years of villainy. Kiritsugu realizes the mistake of his ideals through the grail while Kotomine Kirei finds his salvation in its answer. There’s also a lot more character development in Fate/Zero in comparison to Fate/stay night. Archer/Gilgamesh is antagonistic, but his final confrontation with Rider shows that he’s not really any more horrible than any of the other Servants or Masters, at least in Fate/Zero.
While Kiritsugu’s wish is the noblest of all, he’s also the most twisted character aside from Kotomine Kirei, who doesn’t “find” himself until the end of the series. It’s an in-depth character study of a bunch of ****cked up individuals who are so broken beyond repair that their only hope left is to cling to a “Holy Grail” which will fulfill any desire. There are no heroes or villains, with the exception of one Master who is a brutal serial killer. That being said, Heaven’s Feel is the best route in the game and naturally feels like the successor to its prequel, Fate/ Zero.įate/Zero doesn’t have any heroic battles. It’s also difficult to say that one route in the visual novel is better than the other all of the routes contain pertinent information other routes leave out, because they are meant to be played in a specific order. Yes, Emiya Shirou’s story is a classic and he’s an even more interesting and screwed up character than Kiritsugu will ever be. While some may contend the original visual novel, being the original source material, is the of the overarching saga. The world is intriguing and the characters compelling. Fate/stay night and the massive franchise it has spawned is nothing short of astounding.
