"Oh, you're breaking your pact with the holy grail almost within your grasp, eh?" "No Epic Hero gives a damn about a second chance at life!" "Shirou, you're back?" "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 23:" "The holy grail" "Tohsaka!" "You're finally back..." "Tohsaka..." "Rin!" "You took so long that I was just about to fall asleep..." "Don't talk!" "Saber, get towels and a wash bowl!" "Bandages!" "It's all right, I already patched myself up..." "I'm sorry, I wasn't able to protect IIIya..." "IIIya!" "Was it Kotomine who came for her?" "He had me fooled..." "I never suspected that Kirei was the seventh Master." "That's enough, we can talk later!" "I think I should tell you this before then..." "This is my last advice to you, Shirou, so pay close attention." "Here's the first..." "Kirei's objective is IIIya." "He probably intended all along to use her as the holy grail's vessel." "Use IIIya as the vessel..." "More precisely, he'II use her heart." "What we call Magi are humans who have magic circuits, ...but IIIya is magic circuits that have been given human form." "As his human sacrifice..." "Just like Caster tried to use you and Sakura." "The path won't open until there is only one Servant left." "Kirei probably won't do anything to IIIya since she will be the vessel." "Here's the second..." "I think Kirei is at Ryudou temple." "There's no better place for the holy grail to manifest." "Here's the Iast." "You're no match for Kirei." "You're going to fight him anyway?" "I have to settle things with him once and for all." "As a survivor of the fire ten years ago." "As one of the orphans." "And as Kiritsugu Emiya's son." "I see..." "In that case..." "I'II give you this." "Ah, an Azoth dagger." "It's a magic staff in the shape of a knife." "It's a ceremonial dagger that Magi receive when they become fuII-fIedged." "It's weak stuff compared to my gems, ...but I've always charged it with mana whenever I got the urge." "It will activate if you yell "LaBt!" and flood it with all the mana you have." "Are you sure?" "Go ahead." "I knew I couldn't beat him, so I kept it hidden." "I want you to use it." "Is that everything you need?" "I'm feeling really, really sleepy..." "Sure, go ahead and sleep." "I'II wake you up in the morning." "And then I'II cook you a breakfast so big you'II burst." "One last thing..." "And this isn't a warning, it's an order." "Shirou, if you're going to do this, win even if it kills you." "If I wake up and you're dead, I'II never forgive you, got it?" "Are you sure about this?" "The scabbard originally belonged to you, Saber." "It's only right that I return it." "I must admit, it will increase my mana levels if the scabbard is returned to me." "Even so, that is no guarantee that I will defeat GiIgamesh." "plus, if I extract the scabbard from you, you wiII" "I know." "If I'm injured, I won't recover." "still, I've been unconsciously relying too much on my condition." "If people are badly injured, they die." "That's how it should be." "I understand." "Master, I will borrow your mind." "Hurry, we don't have much time." "I'II begin, then." "Are you ready?" "I'm fine." "Don't worry about hurting me." "The scabbard of the sacred sword is fused with my body now." "I need to gather it into one place and return it to its original form." "visualize it..." "visualize her!" "Saber!" "incredible..." "The mana density is high." "Just as it was ten years ago." "Above, he has aIready" "The summoning of the holy grail has either already begun, or it's already over." "Either way, it means that Lancer was beaten by gilgamesh." "Saber, you handle GiIgamesh." "I'II attack Kotomine." "We won't interfere with each other's fight." "If one of us beats his opponent, they won't get the holy grail." "And then it's over." "Yes." "Just this once, I will focus entirely on my own battle." "plus, it is only right that Kotomine should be defeated by you." "Whoever wins this battle, Saber is going to disappear." "She'II disappear from this world and return to the correct time, ...the time she belongs in." "It's not too late to turn around." "I might be able to find a way to end this without losing Saber." "Shirou..." "Saber..." "Let's go." "This is the final battle." "I was getting tired of waiting for you, Saber." "Your timing is impeccable." "The holy grail has just opened the portal." "This curse is what is contained within the holy grail." "It is the third substance which allows us Servants to remain in this world." "It is what you subjected me to ten years ago." "GiIgamesh, what are you after?" "What do you want?" "I thought I told you that I don't want anything." "The only thing that I am interested in is you." "I've been thinking about this for a Iong time." "About how I would pin you down and force you to swallow the curse against your will." "I'd tread on your wailing face and make you eat so much dirt you look pregnant." "And then, unable to endure it, you would break down and grovel at my feet!" "How I've imagined seeing you defiled!" "In that case, I take it that you have no objections if you meet that same fate!" "Such spirit, even though you know you can't beat me, is fitting for this occasion, but..." "You, the haIf-breed there." "If you have business with Kotomine, get lost." "Let's go, GiIgamesh!" "I am glad that you have come, Shirou Emiya, the Iast remaining Master." "Kotomine..." "Let IIIya down!" "I'm afraid that I can't do that." "The holy grail has appeared, but the portal is not yet stable." "As the contact point, she must endure this for as long as life is left within her or my wish will not be fulfilled." "This is power that is spilling over from the holy grail." "It endlessly flows out, triggering disasters." "Within it is evil of every description, ...things that curse the human world indiscriminantIy." "Long ago, three Magi families including the Einzberns joined together and created a system to summon the holy grail." "However, no one has ever seen the completed holy grail." "In some instances, the summoning failed." "In others, the grail was destroyed, as it was by your father." "This will be the first time that the holy grail has appeared in such a complete state." "Why are you trying to bring a disaster like that into the world?" "If I had to say, I suppose for pleasure." "AII pleasure produced by humans is derivative." "It is nothing but an impurity, something to be despised." "It is at the moment of death that humanity has value." "Life is their run-up, and then they jump high, reach the heavens, and shine nobIy." "That sparkling, THAT is my wish!" "Just as you people gain sustenance from tranquility, ...I devour the light of the stars to live." "The fire ten years ago wasn't such a bad thing." "It is in such a hell that one may find the rending of the soul, ...the greatest brilliance that humanity can display." "The cries of humanity dying full of resentment assailed your heart, did they not?" "It may be in an twisted way, but no one loves humanity as much as I do." "As such, no one is as worthy of holy grail as I am." "AII right, now it's perfectly clear." "You're nothing like us!" "Goodness, this is turning out to be a rehash of last time." "surely you didn't come here without a plan." "There is a Iarge gap between the number of years I have lived and the years that you have lived." "unless you do something to bolster your years," "...this is not a difference that can be made up." "So put your life on the line." "Perhaps you might reach me." "You never learn, do you, woman?" "You can't beat me, and that boy can't beat Kotomine." "If you had gone for the holy grail, this battle would have ended in your victory." "You were miscast in your role." "This is the right decision." "I will not lose to you, ...and Shirou will not lose to a man such as him!" "It looks like you won't be convinced unless you suffer a decisive defeat." "Let's see you dodge this." "Don't worry." "If you're lucky, they will only skewer your arms and legs." "AII right, it's about time that I taught you the difference in our power." "Using my blade, Ea." "Enuma..." "excalibur!" "...EIish!" "I had high hopes for you." "When I Iearned that you were Kiritsugu Emiya's son, ...and that you took after him through and through, ...you can't imagine the joy I felt!" "I never suspected that I would be able to send Kiritsugu Emiya to his reward again like this, ...a desire that went unfulfilled ten years ago." "Why do you hate my father so much?" "Because we were too much alike." "Everything Kiritsugu did got on my nerves." "It is the same as the hatred that you feel for me." "You and my dad were alike?" "Don't make me laugh!" "You would see it that way, wouldn't you?" "After all, he was a man of such virtue that he let me go." "I had caused that huge fire, and even though he defeated me, he didn't take my Iife." "But to me, that was an unpleasant fact." "That a man who had been such a coId-bIooded Magus had spared my Iife!" "But sparing me was not his real mistake." "He thought that the war had ended with the destruction of the holy grail." "As a result, he lived out his days being ravaged by my cruse, telling you nothing." "In the end, he died not many years later." "He died with a false sense of accomplishment, ...believing that he had put an end to the holy grail Wars!" "So you're saying that the person who killed my dad" "Was me." "It's all over, Saber." "What were Kiritsugu's final moments like?" "Are you saying that he foisted his responsibilities onto you, his son, ...and then passed away with his mind at ease for some reason?" "Here is your reward." "Meet the same fate as Kiritsugu!" "Bastard!" "Angra Mainyu!" "Receive all the evils of this world!" "It looks like the fight over there has ended, too." "You can sense it, can't you?" "Kotomine called up the ultimate curse directly from the holy grail." "I doubt that your Master is still among the living." "That's not true." "Shirou is still alive." "I can sense my bond with him." "The holy grail will begin to overflow soon." "Rejoice, Saber!" "If you are subjected to that curse, you will become just like me." "You will have a physical body in this world, and you will be able to enjoy a second life." "You were exposed to that curse, too?" "In that case, you, too, wiII" "What sort of Epic Hero would I be if I couldn't swallow a curse like that whole?" "AII the evils of this world?" "If you want to leave a taint on me, you'd better bring three times that!" "An Epic Hero bears the burden of every human being in his sight." "I've been bearing the weight of this world since the distant past." "Making you eat dirt is all well and good, ...but it won't be any fun if that makes you lose your identity." "Why don't we agree to get married before then?" "Oh, you don't care for being manhandled?" "I suggest you get used to it." "I steal and I devour whatever I want." "I will become no one's property." "I may be a woman, but first and foremost, I am a king!" "To a king, his country is merely his property." "If a king can't control everything around him, ...it makes transcendent beings like kings unnecessary." "And that, King Arthur, is exactly why you were destroyed by your country." "Yes, that is true." "But hear this, Hero King, that is why you destroyed YOUR country." "So, I see that you want me to discipline you in the worst possible way." "Are you serious?" "Your noble Phantasm has no effect on mine." "I thought you learned that the hard way earlier." "AII right, then, I will show you no mercy." "Away with you." "You are an eyesore, woman!" "Enuma elish!" "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..."
