[@mfdoomguy3786]

@@redfrog9717 Alright, not sure who censored me, but this time, I won't let you think I went quiet. You're going in a dumpster: It was that kind of morning. A morning where the troubles of yesterday and the day before that and all the days before it were thwarted by the bright, fresh atmosphere of a new day. Muted sunlight filtered through the high window located just above the table, where two individuals -- a woman and a mid-adolescent boy -- sat. The light easily glanced off the articles of the room, and if one were to turn their gaze towards the woman's slack figure, they would notice in an instant how the rays reflected softly on her, most apparent now in the shining pearls of her eyes. The woman's lips were curved just so, and though she was past that age where young men would flock simply to win such an expression from her, she shone a sort of admirable youth. She sighed, and it sounded like a gentle breeze. This morning was itself similar to a little miracle, like the flare of a camera flash, she thought to herself. And there, in front of her, was her son, the light of her life. The boy chewed noisily on his breakfast, disrupting the peace that the earliness brought, as his mother watched. He tore into his meal, and the fat and oils dripped from his mouth and stained the surface of the table. So engrossed was he in his food that he jumped when his mother idly toyed with her spoon and caused her neatly finished plate to ring. He stared at her in astonished disbelief. "Mom!" he shouted. "What just happened there?! You trying to throw me off my groove thang?! It's eight in the morning, my sinuses are loaded with the viral equivalent of the United States Marine Corps, and I don't have enough milk for my raisin bran! Do I have to give you shit?!" An expression of shock flashed across the woman's features. "Dylan, what are-? Please calm down..." "Dodging, are we? Aha, I can see through you like I work at Lenscrafters who also polishes the windows on a company skyscraper in a New York boulevard! Not that you can ever see one 'cause you're so poor! Why are you staring at me with your mouth open like that? Yeah, 'cause I'm toooootally the one being crazy right now. Tooooooooooootally." The boy Dylan rolled his eyes affectedly many times than what was appropriate. Swallowing, the woman shook her head and spoke, "What are you saying? Why are you angry? Is that attitude necessary right now?" The youth's face scrunched into itself, and suddenly the soft sunlight felt like fire upon the woman's skin. It crept up and into her skin, and she recoiled suddenly as if burned. "Pretentious, holier-than-thou, I-don't-know-anything act now, is it? Is Clinton my grandfather? But I guess I can't really say that because if it were true those bad politics could lead us down a slippery slope shaped like a mollusk. Ha ha ha! Why aren't you laughing? That joke never gets old so eat shit!" Dylan hollered disdainfully. "You're gonna parrot some bullshit like you're an armchair psychologist now, ain'tcha? Armchair psychologists only stay on their armchairs 'cause they're so old, y'know! So which is it?! Parrot or psychologist? Or maybe you're a transgender parrot and/or psychologist which makes you disgusting!" It was the sneer. That damned sneer. It blanketed her vision and darkened the room, and so she closed her eyes to it. She stomped her foot, and, shaking her head, she steeled her voice. "Dylan, I will not have this today. I don't know what's gotten into you recently, but you have been like this for far too long and I am sick and tired of it. Go to your room. Now. We will talk about your aggressive behavior when your father is home. I want some peace and quiet right now." She sighed again and this time it sounded like a stiff gust of wind. Her hung head was turned away from the window and her eyes shone only with weariness. She looked every much her age in this moment. "You're like every mother in the world, trying to push your feminist ideals down my throat! Aggressive? See, I knew it! It's 'cause of my muh-soggy-knee right? Holy shit, how did I not see this before?! Also, what's this about going to my room? You gonna pin me down on my bed and have your way with me?! You shotacon! And get your mouth off Dad's dick like some puny little barnacle that no likes looking at because it's so damn ugly and probably smells like fish that I'd throw into a vat of frying oil in a heartbeat, which I won't have if I eat too much fried food! I mean, I've tried sucking dicks before and I can tell you it ain't fun! Like how Steve Jobs isn't having any fun now! Ha ha ha ha HA HA! Are you Steve Jobs? Naw, can't be, 'cause no one likes you and you don't have cancer, because you ARE cancer! Woop! "But whatever! I'm goin' to my room now, but just so you know I'm doing it ironically. Toooooooooooooooooootally. I'm being ironic, see! Just like this -" Dylan straightened both his palms, thrust out his hips, and struck his pelvis on either side of his genitals with the edge of his hands "-- is ironic! HA! Are my words killing you?! Now if you'll excuse me, I'll be lounging in my room like your so-called definition of "faggot" where the magic happens if you know what I mean but ew gross if you do that means you really DO think of me like that which means you ARE a pedo and like a reverse Oedipus Complexer but anyway that's where I'll be reading up on Fate/Stay Night which has way more world building, power levels, and damn good action scenes than this place while getting high even though I really shouldn't be doing that while playing games and jacking it..." The youth stormed off, taking his aimless ramblings with him. Gone was the brightness of the day, but at last it was quiet again. All the mother could do was sit down and cry.

He could take probably end a grail war in a night. Probably.

[@stretchmcgee]

You never mentioned that though Angelica overpowers him, she only does it with an actual example of his very argument; sometimes one thing does outweigh everything else. His entire drive here is that he is willing to sacrifice the wellbeing of the world in order to make his sister happy, because her life means more to him than all the countless others. In the same vein, Ea is one sword whose power is paramount and it is capable of overpowering the combined might of every other sword in existence. Shirou even knows he can't stop it as soon as he looks at it because he can't read and duplicate its power. Such a perfectly written scene, that the antagonist only wins the fight by embodying the protagonist's ideal, and in so doing allows the protagonist to win because he achieved his goal even so.

When I started Prisma Illya it was just because I wanted Fate content. I didn't hate it, but I didn't like it either. I chose to read the manga because I could finish it faster than the anime. When I mentioned this online I was immediately told to watch Oath Under Snow. I almost didn't, because I wasn't liking the series so far. I'm glad I changed my mind, because while I love Shirou as a character in the original Fate/Stay Night. This Shirou has become my favourite.Thanks for this video on Shirou. It was really fun to watch.

[@cecemetro]

Silver Link showed so much potential here. I wish they did more work similar to this.

[@stretchmcgee]

It's very indicative of how amazing Oath Under Snow is that this is the only Fate story that ever got me to shed tears. Seriously, everything about this Shirou's journey, his rejection of being a hero when weighed against the value of a loved one's life, and his sheer conviction in staying true to that ultimate revelation... It all just hits me so much in the feels, especially when he acknowledges Angelica's victory which itself only serves to affirm his ideal; sometimes one thing can outweigh everything else. Absolutely beautiful.

[@kiibo1786]

Idk if I just missed you mentioning this, but I absolutely LOVE the scene where Angelica whips out Ea, completely overpowers all of Shirou's blade, and says that the importance of one can overshadow the importance of many. Then Shirou just thinks about Miyu, who he chose to save over everyone else in the world, and says something like "yeah, it really can"

[@chaosglitch3109]

The concept of using cards and magic instead of the servants themselves is interesting.

[@armandomendoza7371]

And, objectively, better in some cases: For example, Gil is strong as fuck boiiii, but his EX ego keeps him from actually showing most of his capabilities; other example is Artoria and Diarmuid and their chivalry and honor to duel each other fairly, while not as bad as Mr. EX Arrogance is still somewhat of a problem. With the cards you don't have to deal with servants ideologies or detrimental qualities in personality so you can access to their powers and use them under your own way of doing things. Another advantage the cards have is that you don't need to waste mana to keep them unlike the servants, also you really never are unprotected since you always have the card with you, unlike say the servant is in the other edge of the city (which would either end with you dead or wasting a command spell to teleport it) And lastly, what you said and was shown in the movie, you also get to use your own abilities alongside the servants powers, true they aren't as strong as the real thing (i think they were one or two ranks lower) but think of the sheer practicality of being able to use your spells, mystic eyes, mystic codes, psychic abilities, etc. Together with the servants powers and without restrictions imposed by them, or mana shortage or other things, i think that while the servants themselves are undoubtedly stronger, the cards system is more versatile and practical with it's applications that the power difference is barely an incovenience

Probably the reason Shirou survived is because MIyu teleportation is complete. As Shirou dialogue on that particular moment when the moon finally eclipsed he said that he finally know the reason he could actually fight that well is partly because Miyu is supplying him Prana as this war Holy Grail. With MIyu gone he lost the necessary prana to maintain UBW and most possibly all of the cards lose the ability to transform as evidence by Angelica revert back to her normal form later for no reason. Because Miyu is the core of the HGW Angelica Install are canceled last minute and somehow Shirou managed to avoid direct impact from Ea.

I feel as though there should've been a mention or something about OUS Shirou's design, when he is the Heroic Spirit EMIYA, is more similar to Muramasa's design (from Fate/ Grand Order) then it is to any of the other EMIYA's design from all of the Fate series, which in turn further separates OUS Shirou from all of the other Shirou's. As well as their motives for their goal's being similar compared to the other EMIYA's. OUS Shirou's goal to reunite with Miyu and to give her a happy life and Muramasa's goal to create a blade that will cut destiny/ karma itself. Both of their goal's are more selfish compared to the EMIYA's goal of helping/ saving everyone's lives. This is just something i thought of when I was first watching OUS.

Note though that this Emiya came before Muramasa, so it's the latter who was inspired by the former. And this Emiya's design is considered to be a combination of Emiya, the Angry Mango, and the Limited/Zero Over CE iirc.

I think the reason why Shirou survived is because Enuma Elish is Anti-World and a Reality Marble is a world. Like how Gilgamesh used that on Iskandar to destroy his Reality Marble, only the ‘World’ was destroyed and not the owner of the ‘World’. Shirou and Iskandar were also shown to have been heavily exhausted and burdened by Ea in their respective shows. Just my personal theory though.

you should have include scene where Miyu arrives in Illya world, which for me is one of the most beautiful. Her experiencing loneliness almost breaking sadness, but also with a certain hope and determination searching for that glimpse of light Shirou wanted her to find. What made the scene so amazing was CHouchou song "Kaleidoscope" perfectly embracing Miyu feelings. "Developing feelings step, by step in searching of that glimpse of warm light". On one side we see her walking all alone on night street experiencing extreme sadness. However, song clearly shows us that she clings to that determination. Which is also presented in streets, which are were light, presenting hope she wants to The music goes in stronger rythms culiminates in awesome way when Miyu meets Luvia saying that she would gather cards for her instead asking iconic "give me food" "give me clothes" "give me bed where I can sleep" Concluding how broken and cold on one side she is, asking only to survive. Yet clearly there is more behind her worse, as there is still willingness to find that warm light.

[@TaigaXsenpai]

This is very interesting how similiar yet contrastive it is to Illya story in Fate/stay night -Miyu - rescued by her family, so that she escapes cruel fate of becoming sacrificial lamb for Ainsworth. Although still broken, she has hope she tries to cling. -Illya - not rescued by her family, so eventually she gives up on finding any hope and decides to accept that her only choice is to live as sacrificial lamb for Einzberns.

I read the manga, and honestly i don't even remember the fanservice scenes except for like 2 of them, in the manga there aren't many scenes like that and if there are they're usually really forgettable and quick, the anime is really a problem when the scenes are very long and are served right in your face

[@armandomendoza7371]

Shirou even says: Julian, you are like another possibility of mine And in the manga they continue this similarities when you learn of his backstory, honestly Julian needs a fucking hug so bad, his dad got conceptually replaced with his ancestor due to a curse, pandora tried to kill herself with the deformed fork he made and then her memories got whipped out and started from point one, his childhood friend died in front of him when she was going to declare herself and when revived she lost her memories of her family and her love for him, his dad and older sister died in that same accident and he got the curse of darius and all the responsability instead, then he learns that his best friend is actually the thief who took the key to both saving the world from degradation and Darius, and letting her sister finally die with a smile on her face.

[@Recon-601]

Well this comment is kinda old but eh why not respond So for one the weapons of ubw aren't as strong as the original,shirou just said "there's no law that a fake can't surpass the original" but we do know that his projections will always be one rank lower then the original weapon unless he turns them into broken phantasm Second the Gilgamesh shirou fought wasn't babylonian Gilgamesh they are from different points in Gilgamesh's myth with the Archer one being before he went on his trip to acquire immortality Third fate babylonia meaning it's fundementally different then the original myth which is why you see someone like gorgon or queltquoaltel in there even though they come from completely different myths

This movie was a pretty huge surprise. I liked Prisma Illya, especially 3rei, so I was pretty excited to see what they could do with the movie and oh, man, it did not disappoint. If Ufotable are masterful at using their resources to make masterpieces, Silver Link went above and beyond to get the absolute best out of what they were working with. Animation budget aside, the cinematography and stills were almost too good and the final fight was a much needed highlight that's up there with the best of them. The movie really delivered.

Gilgamesh pulls out Ea when necessary too. He just didn't have access to the displacement magic necessary to survive long enough to get there.

A lot of people hating on Kaleid for the loli fan service. While yeah the loli fanservice is odd, read the manga and not the anime, the anime for the first 3 seasons takes the manga, adds even more fan service, and ignores the good parts. The manga is better in almost everyway other than fight scenes but its worth it for the really stunning story Kaleid actually tells

Oath Under Snow did a great job making Shirou a far more likable character. I mean no offense to the other main 3 routes, each have a Shirou that I can understand and even like to some extent, but this is where I just related to him, similarly to his Heaven’s Feel counterpart. It goes to show that when it comes saving individuals that one loves, we relate to that far more.

The thing is, though, this writing WAS present for the rest of Prisma Illya too, yes there's a bunch of baiting Illya Kuro and Miyu with each other (which is super cute and I ship it) or their respective shirou (Not so much there, yuck.), but there's a lot of time between that where the series plays more akin to the traditional magical girl setup, with a lot of time spent thinking about the characters and how they can grow. Not as much as in something like Lyrical Nanoha, which has utterly brilliant character writing given it's short main series length (2 seasons of 12 episodes or so each before you start getting into the spin offs), but I still do like prisma illya

Everything that happens after the flashback has been really good so far as well. The release pacing on new chapters however...

This movie is amazing. I know Prisma Illya is a hard sell for many and with good reason, even if I absolutely love it and find the loli love triangle incredible funny it's also very disturbing, so I thing that and the quality of the fight animation is what makes this movie so underrated, even if, as you have pointed, the composition is gorgeus, the acting is brutal and the character arc for this version of Shirou is probably the most compeling, emotional and fascinating of all. I love it, and I'm dying waiting for a new season of the anime and the near end of the manga. (sorry for the english).

[@DmonHiro]

But did you notice WHY he lost against Angelica? For this entire fight Myui, as the grail, was sending unlimited mana to Shirou. This is why he won the war in one night. He had unlimited MP. This unlimited mana was sent to him without Miyu even knowing she was doing it, ant it kept being sent to him until the second Miyu actually teleported from their world. That's why he lost.

I don't know, the thing about Miyu!Shirou is that this movie is just basically redoing Heaven's Feel but removing the moral conflict of Sakura's situation. So you get to see Shirou discarding his ideals and getting Archer's powers to protect his loved ones without the ickiness that comes from Sakura's role as the villain in HF.

[@mightza3781]

As explained in his previous video, in Heaven's Feel, Shirou still plays the role of hero despite what he thinks himself as. At the end of HF, both Sakura and the world are saved. It's just that by choosing the more difficult route of saving Sakura and wishing to be with her, he had doomed others that would have otherwise lived. Miyu!Shirou on the other hand chooses to outright doom the world and is fine with never seeing her again if it means she can find happiness. HF!Shirou wants to live with Sakura (Illya picks up on that), while Miyu!Shirou doesn't care if he himself dies (along with the world) as long as Miyu is happy.
