Everythime I was watching him I kept wondering : Why did Kariya accept zouken help just to get stronger for the war when in FSN, Shirou (who also has little to no trainning) can get so far in the 5th Holy Grail War? A part of me wants to say if Kariya just decline Zouken help and fought with his own abilities, he might of lived longer at least. Shirou did somehow attained the strongest servant as his ally. Or perhaps (and this is maybe a bit surprising) Kariya is dumber then Shirou who only found out years and years later that "people died if they are killed". |

ah man such a good series ending wasn't good though, i still feel like you can't make an ending when everyone knows what happens the only *potential* good part i thought of was when kariya dies and sakura says her line or whatever, though i was told sakura's personality 9/10 yeahhhh |

Vento said: Lol, as if. Saber just lucked out, as in seriously lucked out, in the Fifth War. Lancer's original Master was so strong she posessed an actual Noble Phantasm that, much like Lancer's Noble Phantasm, pretty much rapes reality. Herakles was extremely strong without even being able to use Nine Lives (and if he could have used it he'd be stronger). Rider with crappy Master forced Saber to unleash her big shot, and at 100% she'd have a good shot of winning easily. kaykenner54 said: I felt the most sorry for kariya though.

Kotomine mentioned that the Masters and Servants of the Fourth War were monsters, and that's a pretty apt description, especially if you compare Fate Route Rider with Rider from Fate/Zero or Zero Caster with Stay Night Caster. |

Kariya didn't kill her, though he thought that he did. In truth, her brain became damaged through oxygen deprivation, which is why she thinks that Tokiomi is still alive and that Sakura is still in her custody. |

I agree that Medea is a far better magus than Gilles, but Gilles ultimately proved to be a far greater threat. It took the combined efforts of a full-powered Saber, Rider, and Lancer, in order to take him down. Albeit that this had more to do with the power of his book than with any inherent power of his own. |

Kurogashi said: so how does kiritsugu die? He died in the last scene. Type moon wikia: He dies peacefully as he vaguely stares at the moon and commented how beautiful it is. He died at the age of thirty-four, five years after the end of the War, passing onto Shirou his ideal of a 'hero of justice'. His last thoughts was when Shirley ask what kind of adult he wants to and he said: "I’ll never forget what I felt today. I want to be a hero of justice!" He is buried in the graveyard behind Ryuudouji, though Shirou rarely visits. |

Great ending. I'm glad that Aoi didn't die. Kariya can now RIP with his hands clean. He deserves better than that stupid woman. Poor guy, at least he tired. Too bad Kiritsugu didn't go mad. I was expecting him to go insane after witnessing that massive fire. So did he indirectly caused the death of Shiro's parents since he ordered the destruction of the Grail? |

As someone who has not read the LN or seen FS/N, the final episode gets a 7/10. So many unanswered questions and it overall felt like a let down for all the hype that was built up around the Holy Grail. The series overall gets an 8/10. Maybe a 9/10 since this production values throughout the anime were spectacular for the most part. |

All hail UFOTable to their work on adapting this amazing art made by Gen Urobuchi. From the first episode to the last episode of Fate\Zero, simply amazing. I practically can't believe the show has ended, what some 9 months it has been. Now I have to wait for the Blu Rays before I'll rewatch the entire show again. I don't think I'll ever forget watching this masterpiece of an anime. Dear UFOTable, please animate Heavens Feel. I'll shall now cry myself to sleep. Saber. ;_; 10\10 Nonetheless. Masterpiece! AND OMG AT KIREI'S ENGRISH!!! |

Someone tell me why Kirei wanted to destroy the Grail. Isn't it like a genie, but only grants you one wish? And what the hell happened after that, with the lava/mud/crap blowing up and burning down everything. Why did it happen and what was it? And what happened with Archer? |

Kiritsugu after the war for those that care: With the war's end, Kiritsugu discarded his merciless facade and sought to atone for his gruesome deeds. When he stumbled upon a dying Shirou, seemingly the only survivor after the fire, he was overjoyed at the opportunity to save a life. In order to revive him, Kiritsugu implanted Avalon into Shirou's body. Kiritsugu later adopted him as a son, settling in the new Emiya residence that he bought during the war. He met Taiga Fujimura sometime after, and due to her resemblence to his first love, Shirley, he doted on her a great deal. Once Shirou was old enough, Kiritsugu left Fuyuki several times, traveling back to the old von Einzbern castle, trying to save his daughter. However, he never managed to find his way past the bounded fields, having lost most of his magecraft abilities. After his betrayal, rather than seeking to punish him, Justacheit von Einzbern never again allows Kiritsugu into their Bounded Field and keeps him away from his daughter. Kiritsugu believes that he either wishes to exile him to carry the the shameful title of traitor for the rest of his life, or to impose the most most severe punishment that can be inflicted by never allowing him to see his daughter again. To ensure the destruction of the Great Grail, Kiritsugu used explosives to create a 'bump' in the nearby leyline, which would ensure a earthquake in thirty to forty years' time. By doing so he hoped to prevent a fifth war, but did not realize that the incomplete ending of the fourth war would cause the next war to occur in just ten years. Angra Mainyu's curse eventually cost his life, as his limbs were lame, his sight failed, and most of his circuits became useless. His last moments was with Shirou, watching the moon outside his garden. This will be Kiritsugu happiest memory and he also reaccount his life noting that it's full of regrets especially his inability to save his daughter. He revealed his childhood dream to Shirou about becoming an 'hero of Justice' and that it became impossible as he became an adult. Shirou who looked up to Kiritsugu hated the way he spoke of his weakness but reassure Kiritsugu that he can accomplish it as he is still a child. Kiritsugu in his mind wanted to tell Shirou that it is fruitless dream but he couldn't say it when he sees Shirou was enthusiastic about it.

As a child, I was told that society is a melting pot of talents; knowledge and experience combined to form important alloys that will contribute to mankind. When I got to highschool, however, I thought that it's more like a river in which the water represents our peers while we ourselves are the stones in the river. Constant erosion by mindless majority sheeping has made us lose our unique edge. After I hit the age of 18, I realized that I've been wrong all along. Society is no melting pot. Society is no river. Society is a person, a very skilled rapist, and he has fucked us all. |

Fate/zero bid its farewell splendidly. Tears were shed. This series surely will be missed. We would have need a "miracle" to have an anime again of this depth and degree. can't wait for the BDs for the "cut scenes" anyway, that ending speaks for it all, really, powerful endings leaves a very strong impression, i now consider this series a masterpiece though flawed, that ending sparked the fanboy mode again in me |
Simplistic beauty can't be appreciated by someone who looks for something grand in everything he watch. |

I think having the last episode be entirely dialogue driven was a smart choice. I can't help but feel for both Kiri and Saber. Both their dreams were shattered and having seen the whole series now, they never once connected as master and servant. Tears. Seeing Saber be completely destroyed emotionally in both worlds was heartbreaking. The added dialogue with Lancelot was much appreciated. As the final episode prequelling FSN I'd have to say it bridged the gap very well. Sad to see this series go. It was fantastic from start to finish. Goes to show that narrative trumps all other categories. It just so happens this show dominates in all the other fields as well. Please Ufotable animate Heaven's Feel |

A lackluster conclusion and a focus on minor characters who didn't really have much of a role throughout the seasons and some guy Shiroso or w/e wasn't even seen until then. I'm not even sure if the Grail was destroyed, why the red liquid became harmful in this episode, why Saber died and why Gilgamesh is still there(The reasons given are terrible), etc. All of those questions are rhetorical. I don't really care anymore. The final episode seems to be, "here's some fan service for you fans of FS/N!!! Here are the future main chars while they're young!! Everyone else who expected an epic conclusion and exposition about the Holy Grail, you should have stopped watching at episode 24!" GG But don't misunderstand. I think Fate Zero was great. My problem is just with the final episode and how each episode was building towards what seeming to be an epic conclusion that ended up being underwhelming. |

I don't think you do. Also, to choke someone to death you need to cut off their oxygen for a lot longer than that or they just wind up with brain damage. |

The ending was satisfying and does truly fit the series but disappointing, I expected a lot more from this.. especially more fights. Didnt somewhere in the FSN anime it shown Saber vs Gilgamesh? They should at least show Saber vs Beserker. I just hope the Blurays will have a lot of added scenes. When will it come out? Overall, I give it a 10, for the smexy epic animations, the best I had ever seen. |

Do you know what a GOOD prequel is? I don't think you do. In fact, most GOOD prequels explain EVERYTHING. It usually the ones later in the story that leave things open to interpretation. It varies from person to person but most people would be dead after being choked liked that. It was even heavily implied that she died.

Tell me, at the end of Star Wars episode 3, did they explain anything about the Death Star or anything to lead up into episode 4? No? It's because the audience already knows what this is because prequels are meant to be watched after the original material. |

Deathraver said: That scene never happened in the F/SN VN.Didnt somewhere in the FSN anime it shown Saber vs Gilgamesh? I just hope the Blurays will have a lot of added scenes. When will it come out? Just ignore that cause what DEEN studios did in that adaption was awful as other VN fans point out. The 2nd BD boxset will be available mid/late September. If you don't plan on buying should prob add another week or 2 for rips (I guess). or wait for UTW to release it like they did for the 1st boxset. |

ViciousOne said: When LoTR hyped up the destruction of the ring, we got just that. An epic conclusion revolving around the destruction of the ring. Fate Zero hyped up the Holy Grail. What do we get? A lackluster conclusion and a focus on minor characters who didn't really have much of a role throughout the seasons and some guy Shiroso or w/e wasn't even seen until then. I'm not even sure if the Grail was destroyed, why the red liquid became harmful in this episode, why Saber died and why Gilgamesh is still there(The reasons given are terrible), etc. All of those questions are rhetorical. I don't really care anymore. With that logic LOTR should have skipped everyone and everything, except Sam and Frodo, since they had nothing to do with the destruction of the ring after the Fellowship. And the LN was created mostly for FSN fans And here read this: http://www.baka-tsuki.org/project/index.php?title=Fate/Zero:Volume_2_Postface So they should explain everything about the Grail,mud,minorcharacters( you mean the FSN protagonists?), "some guy"Shirou,why Saber died(seriously this doesnt even need prior knowledge ),Gil said that it was because of the gods(yeah he means the grail) ViciousOne said: In fact, most GOOD prequels explain EVERYTHING. It usually the ones later in the story that leave things open to interpretation. It varies from person to person but most people would be dead after being choked liked that. It was even heavily implied that she died. But hey, I'm sure you're an expert physician so you know what you're talking about and I must be wrong. Yeah, because"GOOD" prequels become tiring by explaining everything that you ALREADY KNOW again and again. You arent an expert physician either. And MANY,MANY,MANY people said to read FSN first or at least watch the anime.It's like the island ep with where everyone was like"Wat?Vampire?Zombies?".Although Dead Apostles arent really explained in FZ ,Nasuverse is like Marvel, you cant know everything just by reading Spiderman or X-men. |

Perloo said: Star Wars is an Epic which is why it started at Episode 4 and the criteria for critiquing an Epic is much different from that of a simple series.

Regardless, the Death Star was seen at the END of episode 3 to get you thinking. It was not constantly pushed as the main focus throughout the movie unlike the Holy Grail. Nothing is sort of said about the Holy Grail at the end. No type of exposition or nothing. It's just completely skipped over that. |

You realize that the story of FZ continues(somewhat) in FSN right?And that FSN was created before FZ right? I dont see where is the difference in Star Wars and Fate series |

This enters into my top5 most overrated animes. Characters had potential but became dull, some dialogue was mind numbing. It had great animation in the fighting scenes, but the fights themselves were not that great. Great artwork, ok character design. This last episode managed to be better than FSN last one, which is not saying much considering FSN last episode is one of the worst last episodes ever. The anime is still good, specially considering nowadays everythings is shit, but it's a big disapointment. It tried to be too smart and mature and failed. 7.5/10 |

ViciousOne said: Good films/shows/etc don't end with the notion that "you should have read X if you want to understand the ending." They make everything come together in the end. You also don't expect for someone who brutally gets the life choked out of them to live. But w/e. I think it's funny you mention LotR. Because if you just jump in and start at the last LotR film it definitely expects its audience to have seen the first two to fully grasp everything. It's not unreasonable for a prequel written for the purpose of expanding on an existing story to make more sense if you're actually familiar with the story it's based on. A large portion of the intended audience for this show is going into it already knowing how it would end. I certainly didn't watch it expecting it to waste valuable runtime recapping a 60+ hour VN just to satisfy people who want to jump in here without any knowledge of the franchise. It's really pretty obvious what happens with Aoi. Kotomine is a good healer and he's right there watching the whole thing. So he heals her for added suffering. This is spelled out explicitly in the LN (it's not shown but Kotomine's inner monologue indicates he's going to heal her) but it's not like it's something hard to guess since if you were paying attention you would know Kotomine is a sadist and also a talented healer. |
