"It was raining that day, too, wasn't it?" "Such pure, unsullied swordpIay..." "I expected nothing less from the greatest Servant!" "To a Magus, what's most important isn't their life." "What they have to protect is the sanctity of their soul!" "I suppose I should congratulate you on a job well done." "I underestimated you, young lady." "You give your own objectives top priority, regardless of who your opponent may be." "You are a Magus of the highest caliber." "Caster..." "GIistening tears turn into stars." "Carried aloft by the wind, they adorn the sky." "Even when the moonlight is hidden behind the clouds, ...it still shines down on me." "Fed up with traveling straight down the rails, ...I recklessly broke out into a run." "My resignation turns into determination, ...and I find pride in my worn-out heels." "The path continues on, going eastwards, going westwards." "Even after the sun goes down." "GIistening tears turn into stars." "Carried aloft by the wind, they adorn the sky." "Even when the moonlight is hidden behind the clouds, ...it still shines down on me." "Episode 19:" "The golden King" "You bent my blade in one strike..." "I expected nothing less from the sword of Saber." "That hard-fought battle was all for nothing." "What a pity." "Curses!" "Right." "If I am on a level footing, I can unleash my Turning swallow Strike." "When in the middle of a battle, don't think about what might come afterward!" "Tohsaka..." "There is no need to try to protect that girl." "I have decided that you will be the one that I will use as my sacrifice." "You and I, we were both called forth to fulfill certain duties." "Just as my duty is to protect this gate, you yourself have something to protect." "In which case, you can ill afford to waste on hesitation." "Besides, you are not the only one who is almost out of time." "My apologies." "As you say, neither one of us has time to spare." "En garde!" "You have no more gems at your disposal?" "If you don't put up at Ieast a little resistance, this will not be any fun." "Secret technique..." "Turning swallow Strike!" "Go!" "I thought of her as a lovely little songbird." "But in reality, she was some sort of lion..." "I had always believed I was a fair judge of women, ...but perhaps my training was lacking in that department, as well..." "Shirou!" "Master, please go inside." "I am more than a match for these two." "Tohsaka, can you get away?" "No, sorry." "I have something special planned to finish you off." "Shirou, get back!" "You cannot defeat me, not after being struck by my rule Breaker." "You should know that better than anyone." "This temple is an extension of myself." "With you unable to use your sacred sword, are you capable of destroying an entire city?" "Kuzuki!" "Make Caster stop!" "She's planning to kill everyone in the city!" "Now that I think about it, perhaps it wouId be best to sacrifice both of you." "surely that would allow us to see the holy grail at its finest." "But depending on your answer, perhaps I might be persuaded to spare the boy's life." "Say what?" "That is, IF you consent to becoming my vassal, Saber." "I'm sure that you would prove to be a much more useful tool than my late Assassin." "This is ridiculous." "You forget your place, haIf-breed!" "You're nothing but a fool grasping at straws." "It's been most entertaining to watch this play out." "But Caster, you just uttered some words which should never have come out of your mouth you lowly little Magus pissant!" "simply suggesting that you would keep a knight-king in thrall is a heinous sin!" "As king, she belongs to ME!" "There is only one punishment for any who dares lay a hand on a king's treasure." "Get out of my sight, haIf-breed." "Master!" "Master!" "Do you believe my story?" "I have no interest in this holy grail of yours." "And I don't have one of those "Command seals" you speak of, either." "However, if you need my assistance, then I will help you." "You are a most unusual person." "Do your best not to disturb my current living arrangements." "tell me when you require my assistance." "A-Are you unharmed, Master?" "Yes." "Thank goodness." "It would have been most inconvenient if you had died on me." "However, this is most unfortunate." "Just when my dream was in sight..." "There is nothing to grieve over." "I will make your dream come true in your place, that's all." "I don't think that will work." "After all, my wish had already come true." "It has been a Iong time, Saber." "Do you remember the decision that I made?" "Why that look?" "Don't tell me that you are still not ready to go through with it." "What a foolish woman, to make a man wait..." "This hole in the ground casts a paII over what should have been a joyous reunion." "We shall meet again eventually, Saber!" "Keep your answer from ten years ago close to your heart!" "Saber, who WAS that guy?" "Save it for later." "Let's hurry!" "Shirou!" "Hurry!" "although I am loath to admit it, I do know that Servant." "Servant?" "So he really IS a Servant, then?" "He is of the Archer class." "On the final day of the previous holy grail War I fought against him amidst the sea of flames." "I was unable to best him." "On the contrary..." "You were beaten by him?" "Saber wasn't able to beat him..." "I wonder if he wasn't a Servant summoned up for this war, ...but rather one who stayed around after the Iast one." "only seven can be summoned for any given holy grail War." "If there's a Servant who isn't one of those seven, ...he can only be the victor of the previous war." "He gained possession of the grail." "And its power is allowing him to stay in this world permanently." "In other words, that must mean that if you have the holy grail, ...you can keep your Servant here in this world." "In any event, that doesn't change the fact that he seems to be our enemy." "What's his true identity?" "I was unable to ascertain his true identity in our previous battles, either." "This Epic Hero doesn't have a noble Phantasm that symbolizes his identity," "A Servant without a noble Phantasm?" "He used a ton of them back there!" "It ought be a piece of cake to figure out who he is!" "Did you recognize even one of those noble Phantasms that he used?" "I was not able to Iearn his true identity, either." "That man has a seemingly endless supply of noble Phantasms, the mark of an Epic Hero." "And it couldn't be a fake, either." "A fake noble Phantasm couldn't have broken through Caster's defenses like that." "Given that we don't know who he is, the next question is, what's his objective?" "In the course of our last battle, he proposed to me." "needless to say, I used my blade to turn him down." "In any event, I am not permitted such freedom in the first place." "frankly speaking, I find such attempts at humor most annoying." "As king, she belongs to ME!" "Now, then..." "I think I should get back to Sakura's place." "She'II probably feel lonely if no one's there when she wakes up." "Saber, about what Rin said earlier..." "About what?" "If a Servant gets the holy grail, it's possible for him to stay in this world, right?" "In which case" "I have no intention of remaining here." "I will simply return to my original self." "You're going to use it to go through the king selection trial again?" "You're not going to save yourself from dying?" "King Arthur has no comprehension of the hearts of men." "How can a king who doesn't understand his subjects' feelings hope to govern a country?" "It is a king's duty to protect the country." "My strength was not equal to the task." "The least I can do is ensure that the proper king is chosen instead of me." "You idiot!" "The duties of a king don't enter into it!" "You're here now, Saber, so you should do whatever you want!" "If you want to change who you are, find a way to do it in the present, not the past!" "Shirou, I would appreciate it if you would drop this subject." "But you" "Besides, possessing the holy grail does not mean that I will be able to stay in this era." "I say this because that Servant could not possibly have obtained the holy grail." "On that day, the holy grail was destroyed." "By my Master, Emiya, who betrayed me." "Kiritsugu Emiya?" "By my dad?" "Yes." "Ten years ago, in the previous holy grail War, he was my Master." "Kiritsugu and I stood victorious at the end, and the holy grail passed into his hands." "That holy grail War should have ended when we defeated Archer and his Master." "However, Kiritsugu rejected the holy grail." "As a result, the city was engulfed in flames." "I was ordered by him to destroy the holy grail." "Because only Servants may touch it." "Kiritsugu used his last Command seal to compel me to destroy the holy grail." "With the grail lost, Servants cannot remain in this world." "My memories end there." "I was unable to finish my battle with that golden Servant, ...or to question Kiritsugu about his betrayal." "Why didn't you tell me?" "Why didn't you say that my dad was your old Master?" "I couId not bring myself to speak to you of what sort of Master Kiritsugu was." "I have seen your past." "I couId not believe how much Kiritsugu had changed." "If I were to describe the Kiritsugu I remember, it wouId be that he was a stereotypical Magus." "He was interested only in his own objectives, and would remove anything in his path." "He wasn't a cruel man by any means, nor was he a coId-bIooded killer." "However, he suppressed all emotion within him, and he killed anyone who was his enemy." "I do not know what he believed in that would drive him to do such things." "But when he stood before the holy grail, that which had been his goal, ...he commanded me to destroy it." "I must confess, I never cursed the existence of Command seals, ...nor anyone who had betrayed me, as much as I did that day." "The holy grail that appeared in the previous war was destroyed by Kiritsugu Emiya." "still, perhaps it is possible to create a new one, as Caster was attempting to do..." "I will obtain it this time." "I won't allow anyone to stand in my way this time." "He should be able to tell me everything that happened in the Iast war..." "unfortunately, I am all out of drinks." "I have nothing to welcome you with." "Forgive me." "It is all rather fascinating, really." "Saber is not yet dead." "She remains outside the grail of death and rebirth." "She said that she would finally become a true Servant by winning the holy grail." "So, I take it that you wish to free your Saber from being a Servant." "Nothing could be simpler." "simply make Saber drink from the holy grail." "When a Servant drinks from the water that fills the grail, ...he is granted a second life in the present world." "They retain the same form they had as a Servant, ...but they will be able to remain here in this world as for long as their Master lives." "So the only way is to win the holy grail, then..." "So, have I answered all your questions?" "If so, I suggest you return home without delay." "The war is not yet done." "Going out for a stroll without Saber is an act of madness." "There's something else that I want to ask you about." "It's about an eighth Servant." "A what?" "!" "In the deep, dark forest, as I search for the faint fragrance of the lingering traces of the days I held dear, I suddenly hear you laugh." "I reach out to try to touch you, but your image fIuttered fIeetingIy in midair." "I've missed you for so long, I've longed for you for so long." "Wandering through sleepless nights, ...I am crying, enveloped within the light and shadow you left behind," "...here in the deep, dark forest." "Next Time" "Next Time Fate Stay Night..." "Next time, "Distant Trace of a Dream."" "Next Time:" "Distant Trace of a Dream Next time, "Distant Trace of a Dream."" "Next Time:" "Distant Trace of a Dream"
