[@unlimitedquickworks7387]

This ending is perfect. Back in fate route there was an option to ask Saber for a definitive technique in the dojo to defeat his opponents. This shows that Being weak as a human, even years after the holy grail war, shirou looked for a technique to help him defeat his opponents in one move. His weakness tormented him troughout his entire life and this is one of many proofs. This "archer shirou was still shirou" aspect ads a lot to his character. Also archer's arm taking over his mind after every projection, and how he screams saber's name in the end, even though he lost everything else, shows how important Saber was for him. The pace and everything is perfect. I got nothing else to say.

@@Rogue-a-Pogue well in reality not even 4 strikes are enough, she was playing the "honorable duel" against Shirou to test him and try to bait him to project Excalibur, because she always had this complex about Shirou choosing archer as his ideal fighting style instead of hers, so her for her own pride as a knight she wanted him to choose her. If she had fought against him like she did with the other ones Shirou would've been dead from the start

[@unlimitedquickworks7387]

As for Shirou, he felt a special connection with saber, her sheath has been inside him since he was a child and she was the one person who allowed Shirou to finally stand for himself and start moving towards his ideal, as well as allowing him to have a way to fight in this war, through her. She legit left a bigger impression on him than his own self, but he couldn't help but to be more attracted to archer's combat style because it's literally made for himself, by himself.

About the "poem" of the crane wing triple strike, and the back story of true Kansho Bakuya in history: Kansho Bakuya, or actually, Ganjiang Moye was a pair of swords forged by one of the greatest smiths in ancient China, Ganjiang. He was ordered by the king of Chu to forge the best sword. It took him three years to make the twin blades, named after himself and his wife. He gave the relatively weaker one, Moye, to the king and saved the stronger one Ganjiang for his wife. He said to his wife : "the king would kill me to stop me from making a stronger sword, so you must take the Ganjiang sword and hide, with our child in your belly. If the child is a boy, tell him to revenge me." Then he was executed by the king. A baby boy was born. And he grew up with vengence in his heart. He took his father's sword and went to the capital of Chu kingdom. But on the way, an assasin approached him, saying he didn't have a chance to strike down the king, and he had to trust the assassin to do the job for him. But, to do the job, the assassin needed the sword, and the boy's head. The boy, knowing he couldn't revenge his father, commited suicide with that sword. So the assassin took the sword, the head and went to the king. He said this is the Ganjiang sword, and the head of Ganjiang's son. The king actually dreamed of the boy a while ago and he knew it was Ganjiang's revengeful son and he put a bounty on the boy's head. So the king is relieved to see his nemesis dead. He decided to boil the boy's head to prevent him from resurrecting. And amazingly, the head just managed to stay the same in boiling water. The assassin asked the king to take a closer look, to use his divine power as a king to destroy the head. The king took a closer look, then the assassin cut off the king's head, and his own after that. The three heads were then boiled to the skulls and couldn't tell apart, so the king's court buried them together. And the story is where the poem came from. The swords that cut through mountains and cut off water stream, and end the life of the user and the enemy at the same time.

[@legendaryseph9406]

@@muhammadhazmi3201 It’s because of philosophy and meaning, the swords were never forged with some great destiny in mind or anything like that, the first sword was meant as a gift with a heavy price, the second one was forged from the death of the price’s other half, they are eternally connected but they are completely empty other wise, just like how EMYIA sees himself and shirou, in his mind the swords are very similar to him. Without true purpose, just a set of Beautiful blades that just exist, they can cut well from their very nature of weapons that come close to the gods, but otherwise they are purposeless and empty. I believe that’s the canon reason, although it’s possible I’m wrong

[@JoshuaDMarti]

It always breaks my Heart how she actually expected Shirou to finally finish her but at the same time she sounds so sad once she realizes Shirou already died. She is not the same anymore yet she wanted his sacrifice to mean something at the end. The one she protected at the start of the war managed to take advantage of her limits and even broke pass his own limits just to put her in that state. Is almost as if she actually wanted Shirou to finish the job so all his sacrifices could matter at the end. Deep down she still treasures him so much that she wants him to emerge victorious, kill her and go with Sakura and Rin. But she realizes he died, the one that broke pass his own limits is not here anymore, he is not here to finish the job, his mind gave up before he could do it. Now just *fate* itself will decide if his sacrifice will mean something, and Saber knows it, she doesn't care anymore what will happen, maybe she will regenerate and kill Rin, maybe Rin will manage to save Sakura on time. She knows it doesn't matter anymore, the hero of the story is not there anymore. Nobody will be saved.

[@SarzaelX]

Nasu said that a route in which Shirou allied with Shinji agaisnt Rin had a bigger chance of happening.

[@ZygfrydJelenieRogi]

I would love to see that route. Firstly because Shinji is a typical kick-the-dog character and wasn't even much of a villain compared to other, more capable antagonists like Kirei or Zouken. I would really like Shinji to be a little more important, a little more ambigious, not an easy-to-make character whose only purpose is to be hated. The second reason is, I really think that Shinji might be an outstanding ally. It is all just a theory, (super-dorky, unreasonable and wishful-thinking based theory) but in UBW Rin mentions that even his remains of magical circuits would aweken if connected to magical equivalent of nuclear reactor ie. Ilya's heart. That would make him capable of doing, well, something to aid Shirou, that would make him a magus. Not to mention he was said to turn into a nicer person after UBW finale (which just *might* have been because his wish was to be able to use magic and it came true thanks to Ilya's heart). He have always been interested in his magical heritage, read magecraft books and inquired about Matou history, and I think he could really mean it when he said to Emiya that he has knowledge of a magus yet no power. Also, in Fate, he used (fake) command spell to attack Emiya with those shadows. They were weak, but it is still awesome that he could cast a spell without using magic circuits , similarily to what Kirei did in fight against Kiritsugu in Fate/Zero. That seems to be quite a skill. In summary: would get more character development, would be justified to ally with Emiya due to being a better person, would possess magic circuits and could be the first Matou in ages to learn magecraft by brain not by body. I would love to see that happen. (But Ilya would have to die early for that so it sucks)

***** Okay, so let's say that Shiro doesn't approve of killing Ilya, because of his usual let's protect everyone way of living. Does that mean you'll (well, Shiro will) end up "drilling" Shinji in order to "support him with mana"? :D

[@ZygfrydJelenieRogi]

cibáld meg Shiro? No, not enough mana to compare it to nuclear reaction. Berserker on the other hand...

I appreciate that Saber is still willing to give Shirou a chance to save Sakura by fighting her.

They're saving him for the full on Shirou vs Saber 2.0 I think. Since the 6th Lostbelts is in Camelot.

[@RandomPerson-cm2wg]

@@contown731 How? What do you mean they ruined NLBW?

[@contown731]

Let me count the ways... -Emiya stopped playing right before the fight started -They completely removed Shirou realizing he needed to kill Berserker in one move or lose -No serious tension of the painful 3-second countdown as Shirou takes aim and waits while Berserker charges towards him -Shirou spinning in front of Berserker for 5 seconds was fucking stupid when the whole point of the fight was "win in an instant or die" It was an intense dramatic moment originally. In the movie it was "look OMG so hype Shirou with a big sword!!!" without ever even acknowledging how absolutely outclassed Shirou was, even with Archer's arm. But hey, flashy lights and big cuts on the ground and fancy spin moves are better, right? *The HF movies were a shitty adaptation. Any VN reader knows this.*

[@RandomPerson-cm2wg]

@@contown731 So… what you’re saying is that the HF movies lost all the tension during adaptation?

[@yaboigamerdouji7573]

I’m sure Saber doesn’t blame Shirou for his decision. It was better to hear her master’s kind words than continuously aim to cut him in twain.

[@KWSMGabi]

BEST ENDING SO FAR

unfortunately, in heaven's feel, a theme is that shirou has to sacrifice a lot to gain a selfish happiness D:

I dont know which one was better, this one ( Shirou vs Saber ) or Shirou vs Gilgamesh? I go for UBW ( Shirou vs Gilgamesh ).

[@frednon92515]

Shirou vs Archer (visual novel) is amazing too.

[@kamataro1482]

Personally, they have different meanings. Shirou VS Gilgamesh is the culmination of Shirou wanting to prove his ideal is now his own, and not just borrowed from Kiritsugu. Shirou vs Saber is just pure unadulterated awesome.

[@sebastianswan7975]

Shirou Vs archer because he used his own actually used his own magic

[@lonelywolf140]

I also go for the UBW Shirou vs Gilgamesh one of the best fights in my opinion.

[@stickmanymickmany]

[@-TrafficCone-]

Pov:ur searching hours comments

[@SasukeTheCursed]

I'm not sure you can really call it selfish at this point. Yes he risked alot of lives so he could be happy with Sakura, but think of how much he suffered and sacrificed for her and only her. He sacrificed his body, his mind, even his ideals which he valued above all else. I'm not entirely sure he did it for his own happiness either... he seemed more interested in making Sakura happy, after all would he have walked to his certain death if it was all about him being happy with her?

[@muffingfx]

If only they adapted this

[@SasukeTheCursed]

Yet he was still choosing to do so, is he not being selfish by following whatever he wants? His ideal may be messed up but its ultimately selfish of him in a way. Think about Saber, Rin or Sakura in all routes they constantly want him to stop sacrificing himself for others but he never does because he wants to follow that ideal and in turn for making himself happy following it he causes them unhappiness and worry. I agree being selfish isnt bad, but people try to use it as an insult.

[@LiracyonLeague]

So... Shirou actually loses to Alter Saber? What happens after this? I mean, sure he knocked her out of the fight for ten minutes but he dies. He isn't able to finish her. Does she go and help Sakura beat Rin? SOMEONE HELP.

[@IchiBanSamuraiTenshi]

This is a bad end. Shirou basically becomes a vegetable. Alter Saber heals then goes and joins up with Sakura and they kill Rin.

[@LiracyonLeague]

+IchiBanSamuraiTenshi you say that but this is absolutely the only bad ending that does not say "bad" end. it just says "end" kind of leaving the reader to assume if he bought her enough time or not.

[@IchiBanSamuraiTenshi]

Going by the FSN wiki it still considered a bad end though they do note that it is abnormal just saying end. I'm assuming Rin doesn't have enough time to have a heart to heart with Sakura and Saber arrives, although due to it saying End only, it is possible she could have won. I don't know if anyone ever questioned the creator of FSN about that ending. It would be cool to see it animated.

[@LiracyonLeague]

+IchiBanSamuraiTenshi I really do hope they animate that end. though it will likely only be saber vs rider and shirou. my thought is that it only says end because.. yes. shirou dies- but he saves Rin and Sakura. So while it is sad, Shirou fulfilled his dream to become a hero. if everyone died it would be a bad end.

[@cjbladesworth8049]

Josh Evans Rin beats Sakura. Sakura orders saber to destroy the grail. It’s unknown if rin and her live.

I really wish this had been the normal path through HF, instead of Crazy Train. And Shirou just had one projection left after the Saber fight.

[@weew9799]

He could've just made one sword at the end to maybe save his conciusness.

[@ChristheDowned]

I mean two swords weren't enough to kill her so I doubt one could, and KB have reduced mana cost when projecting together, they come as a pair lol

[@michaelblueknight1268]

How can I unlock this scene with the Mighty Wind ost? I tried many times but I just get the scene without the epic ost and with some different sentences. The ending is the same but not the battle :/

[@Biyte]

You need to be playing realta nua (ps2 version i think). If you are playing PC version, I forget the process but I think you need to make cd image of realta nua (or download or something) and apply a fan made patch. Sorry if this isn't very helpful but it has been a few years. In short, this scene is from patched ps2 version

[@michaelblueknight1268]

I understand, thx. I think I'll watch the scene here on youtube and decide what to do in the future xD

[@Biyte]

yo man... this scene... might not make it into the animation!! D: They should just do this scene anyways, even if it has to be an extra or something!

[@DevilKnightize]

Am I the only one who wants to see the reaction of both rin and Sakura when they Learn about that shirou fought her and he died I wonder will Sakura regain some of her self again would she realize that she was the one who gave up on her saver like how rin said after all Sakura was the one who returned to shinji

[@TheGeekySkeptic]

Yeah, I've heard that argument before, but, honestly, would it have made that much a difference? Assume that Rider had been badly wounded and Shirou had finished Saber off like this, with one final projection still left for Sakura. Would this REALLY have squashed the theme of the route? Honestly, they even made a separate music, just for this scene, since it was so awesome. And then it's a weak game over :(
