I have to question the credibility of that , especially "the last moments "after being shot to the heart.If this is from character material or it was mentioned in FSN but I forgot,then it was his subconscious since he had no idea what happened when he woke up.Like Kiritsugu's true wish was to be with Iri and Ilya but he never realized it.And remember that in wiki everyone writes whatever he wants....Like Shirley being killedby Kerry.

True, but that one particularly comes from Nasu's original material and as far as I've seen nothing particularly conflicts with it in Fate/Zero. In Stay Night Kirei admitted at several points that an unworthy one wished for Fire, trying to pass it off as Kiritsugu's doing. He then, twice I believe, admitted to Shirou he was the one who wished for Fire. Considering the Grail "did it on his own" in Fate/Zero, wouldn't it be more plausible to assume the Grail just picked up Kirei's supressed wishes for destruction? I mean, don't forget what he spent the next 10 years sadistically doing on the church's basement.

Well there is a big difference from Kirei actually making the wish and the grail doing something it was never directly asked to do(plus it was more or less what the grail would do anyway).

True, but then this is at least partly due to Gen taking a bit too much creative license in a part that the original novel repeated over and over. One thing is to change the part about the amount of times Kiri and Saber talked (from it being literally 3 times to him "ordering her" with the Command Spell 3 times) and another is to change the main villain's established backstory, one stated several times, and retcon it. Considering Kirei was also viewing the Grail's ilussion, they might have chosen the more interesting road of giving both of them a shot at a wish. But well, things like this can happen with different authors.

It's actually a reference to the infamous Terminator scene. Here is the same art with translation: http://danbooru.donmai.us/post/show/1194621/1girl-o-child-comic-covering_mouth-crest_worm-empt

Truth to be told I find way too much enjoyment in the fanarts which destroy the scenes with Kiritsugu from Shirou's past. I'm thankful to whoever made this, since it goes nicely with that one art I found some time ago where Kirei wrecks havock during Kiritsugu's death scene. Gah, I really hated these retrospections in the game.

If I remember correctly in FSN Saber doesnt seem to recognize Ilya or at least she doesnt give info about her to Shirou for probably obvious reasons.If you count the times he spoke to her directly,face to face they are 3:once after Kayneth's death and 2 for the last command spells.Kirei isnt so different form FSN .Even in HF when fighting Shirou he says that the last time didnt bring him entertainment,which must be a reference to his fight with Kiritsugu,considering what he expected of this fight.And what Kirei says in FSN is true in according to Gen's story.Kirei's wish was granted.What I am saying is that he didnt (directly)make the wish

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.

Yeh Hercules is a beast. The UBW movie made him look like shit that went down in a snap.
EMIYA vs Gil depends if Gil goes full retard and lets EMIYA get that RM up. If its F/Z Gil or HF Gil we are talking about then EMIYA has no chance.

I honestly don't know. I only have a general idea from wiki and fanarts what it's about. And I'm not sure I want to know details since I was never too enthusiastic about the idea of Rider and Waver as a pairing, even if one of them got genderbent. I just can't see them as one.

But I haven't heard anything about it actually being written, I always assumed that they just outlined the idea and left it for fandom. The only solid thing I found were those two links:
http://tatari.byethost33.com/tmfools/09/sensya/intro.htm (third option on the right leads to character section and we can see girl!Enkidu there)

FZ Gil vs Saber as she was after her fight with Lancelot would be even shorter than Gil vs Rider.And not spectacular at all unless you enjoy watching Saber being trashed.

Actually people think now the Creator of this has this weird mentality that he loves to make characters suffer. I was like really WTF and O_O at Saber's last face. DAMN! You EVIL CREATOR! You made Saber suffer at the end like that despite you could have done just something else. I shall leave it at that.

Well Gen just add some details in what Nasu had created.And in FSN all ill fated characters(Ilya,Sakura,Saber,Shirou even Rider)reach a happy ending in some routes.And the villains actually pay for the shit they have done so I dont think he is that evil.
I see, well then people's misconception are bitchy sometimes is all I can think in response.

Geez, it was already explained. Gilgamesh realised that Kirei was a closeted evil person after five minutes of their first conversation and ever since he did everything to drag Kirei out of that closet. He told Kirei it was his wish to force him to finally confront the truth - the fact that Kirei was really and truly happy seeing the destruction and suffering caused by Grail. Kirei simply felt as if his wish was truly granted, it was the happiest moment of his life to date.

And by Kiritsugu sparring him, he meant that moment after the final conversation with Gilgamesh, when they see each other and Kiritsugu ignores him (Kirei had no way of knowing that at that time Avalons power was disappearing and Kiritsugu's attack would be suicidal, since he wouldn't have his healing factor; from Kirei's perspective Kiritsugu had advantegous situation at that time and didn't use it to finish him of).

Right because" people die when they are killed" obviously works in Fate.Do you believe that Kirei would tell everyone that the grail revived him?Might as well show them Gil AND reveal the command seals he stole from Bazett .Kirei doesnt have a real heart in all of FSN.

It doesnt matter if the fire was a result of the wish or not.Gil knew what Kirei wanted all along.Kirei really enjoyed it and has no reason to not believe Gilgamesh.

No. I must admit I haven't played HF yet (I will need to clear it, since I finally have free time), but I found it logical, since Stay Night established that he was killed at the end of Zero. Therefore there must have been another opportunity at which he was sparred and this scene fits it really well if you think about it. Kirei doesn't have viewers knowledge and could wrongly interpret it as being sparred, since he doesn't know anything about Avalon.

No. I must admit I haven't played HF yet (I will need to clear it, since I finally have free time), but I found it logical, since Stay Night already established that he was killed at the end of Zero. Therefore there must have been another opportunity at which he was sparred and this scene fits it really well if you think about it. Kirei doesn't have viewers knowledge and could wrongly interpret it as being sparred, since he doesn't know anything about Avalon.


Well it's not like he never lied to Shirou and the rest.He could also have figured out that Kerry wasnt his former self anymore when he left.Telling a lie to the adopted son of his old enemy seems like a very Kirei-thing to do.

Even if he was emotionally broken it doesn't change the fact that from Kirei's point of view at that moment he wasted a perfect chance to finish him off. Kirei was still badly hurt from the fight, had no black keys and Gilgamesh didn't probably have enough mana after being incarnated to use GoB. Meanwhile, Kiritsugu supposedly still possessed unknow healing factor that healed even the most lethal wounds and thanks to that was physically unharmed. It was the best chance he would ever get to finish Kirei off, but instead he ignores him. So I find it plausible that Kirei interpreted "not using the chance when I was the weakest to kill me" as "I was sparred".

Then again, Kirei should have realized later that Kiritsugu couldn't have killed him, since he didn't have any magical means.... unless he somehow learned about contenders, but we don't know if they would work on his heart...

Damn, trying to connect prequel with sequel with multiply routes is confusing.

that's the magic of multi routes stories of Typemoon. Especially Fate since it has a prequel.Now imagine FZ having multiple routes that still lead to the beginning of FSN...

Indeed, magic. Magic of the universe being screwed about 80% of the time, while people still feel happy about the five positive ends without taking notice of how rare they actually are. If that isn't magic, I don't know what is.

While I always wanted to see just how bad would it be for universe if Saber actually managed to make her wish on Grail... Why, oh why, are most of the bad ends so short?

Not rare at all if you use a walkthrough.XDXDXD

Instead of bad ends being long or even exist I would prefer an Ilya route.
Well Tsukihime remake is already planned.Why not make a FSN remake too.

BTW yeah, I don't think Gilgamesh had much power at all after being stripped of his spiritual body. The fact Kirei used altternate methods to power up his NP's for the 5th War is proof enough.

Great show on the whole, I stick by my 9/10 for the first season and probably will give this season a 9 as well.

High points: Kiritsugu was a great protagonist, and Waver/Rider made the best master-servant duo. Gilgamesh was also a great character (and complemented Rider well). Great fight scenes.

Low points: The revelation about Berserker's identity was underwhelming. Saber (although focused on heavily) is still an underwhelming character who was largely overshadowed by some of the other servants. Not a bad character, but for the amount of screen time she gets I would have hoped she'd be more interesting.

Here's hoping for a full-length anime of FSN UBW route.

True although that doesn't accounts for the years in between, or the fact Lancer was very mana efficient.

By the way, why Gilgamesh look too young on his face in FSN ?
