Servant Saber.
Upon your summoning, I have come forth.
I ask you, are you my Master?
I couldn't say anything.
I don't know if I was just confused by everything that had happened...
No, that wasn't it...
I just lost the ability to speak... at the elegance... of the girl in front of me.
The time has come.
Seven magi will be participating.
These "Masters" will employ the use of familiars from seven separate classes called "Servants,"
and kill each other for the one and only Holy Grail.
That's...
...the Holy Grail War.
I command thee...
Thou shalt come forth to my side.
Thy sword shalt control my fate.
Abiding by the Holy Grail's haven.
If thou accedes to this will and reason, then answer me.
The oath set forth here:
I am the embodiment of good in the eternal world.
I am the disposer of evil in the eternal world.
Thee, the seven heavens that bear the great trinity, come forth from the circle of constraint.
O, guardian of the balance!
Huh?
My, my...
I...
...sure was chosen by a wonderful Master.
Sakura, good morning.
Good morning, Senpai.
Eh...
There's still some time left, but it's unusual for you to oversleep.
Yeah...
It looks like I fell asleep when I was fixing this.
Sorry.
Don't be. I'd be happier if you would oversleep from time to time.
It would make it worthwhile for me to take care of you.
You're late...
I got tired of waiting for you.
If you spoil Shirou too much, he'll take advantage of you.
I'm not spoiling him. It's just that Senpai looked tired, that's all.
Fuji-nee, shouldn't we be talking about you?
You're the one always taking advantage by coming here every day for breakfast and dinner.
I promised Kiritsugu-san that I'd look after you until you've become a splendid man.
That's why I have the responsibility to come and look after you every day...
Sakura!
You've mastered the secret to making miso soup!
That's because you have taught me well.
Listen to me!
Late! Late! Late!
I still need to grade the tests!
Fujimura-sensei seemed even more tense than usual today.
Well, yeah.
Many victims of last night's gas leak remain in critical condition.
Morning NEWS
Last night in Fuyuki Shinto City
Many critical victims from gas leak
According to the Fuyuki City Police Dept, the cause of the leak is still unknown.
Again?
There seem to be lots of gas leaks in Shinto lately.
Homura Academy School Rules (Revised)
As always, I appreciate your help.
It's OK.
Can it be fixed?
Yeah, I think the wires just short-circuited.
It'll be fine for winter if we replace them.
I'm sorry, but I need to concentrate on this, so can you leave the room for a moment?
It must be a delicate process.
OK, I won't be in your way.
Well, it is pretty delicate but...
...basically...
...it means that I don't have to do it the normal way.
There are two electric heat lines disconnected.
It'll still operate.
As for the electrical cord, friction tape will do.
I think Dad said this when I was still a kid.
I'm very talented at grasping and imaging the internal structure of objects.
But...
As for the talents of being a magus, I had pretty much none.
I'm done, Issei.
Emiya...
Are you one of those people who are going after Tohsaka too?
Wh-What do you mean by "going after" Tohsaka?
Who would do that?!
Second Year, Class A, Tohsaka Rin.
Beautiful looks, a good head,
and you never hear any bad rumours about her.
She is pretty much the idol of most of the male students.
Why is it so...
I really can't accept it, Dad.
Why is it impossible?
It's difficult.
What you're saying is that you want to save everything.
To be able to save someone means that you won't be able to save another.
Well, I can understand what Dad means now.
But, even so, I can't accept it.
Because innocent people are suffering every day.
No matter how hard you try, only a few of many are saved.
That's so unfair.
It's not right that only some people can be saved.
That's why... That's why I will...
Good job, everyone.
Emiya-kun sure works really hard.
He also did the work for the other employee today.
I don't think he's ever refused anyone a favour.
Yeah, he's going to be something big.
I don't know if you would call that something "big."
I just think he's becoming a bit unstable.
If you don't call yours out soon, you will die, Onii-chan.
Oh, you're still here, Emiya?
You sure have lots of free time, wandering around at this hour.
I'm really jealous of you.
I wasn't wandering around; Issei asked me to fix some things for the student council.
You're a student council suck-up, aren't you?
Well, then can you take care of our chores too?
Our archery dojo gets pretty messy.
Yeah, I don't really mind. I'm free anyway.
OK then, it's decided.
Let's go, everyone.
But, is it really all right?
It's OK.
He always loves to help out others.
All right, let's do a good job then.
He's here.
It seems like he was waiting for the sun to set.
He will be striking now.
What an immense killing aura.
Yo.
It's a pretty good night.
The Nii-san over there agrees with me, right?
He can see Archer?!
This person really is a Servant!
That's right.
So I can assume that the young lady over there is my enemy, right?!
Archer!
Take care of my landing!
Archer!
Oh, this is going to cut the story short.
But, it has to be like this.
A lance user... you must be the Servant Lancer.
That's right.
Your Servant over there doesn't seem like the type who fights one-on-one too much.
Well, since we've met, he only has the choice to fight.
All right, come on.
Well then, what should we do, Rin?
I've been ready for ages.
Archer, show me your power here!
So a damn archer is trying to act as a swordsman?!
What was that?
It's coming from the courtyard?
Who is it?
Oh no!
There was still someone here?
What was that just now?
Yo!
You ran pretty far, didn't you?
Well, you ran out of luck.
Since you saw us, you have to die.
They say the dead don't speak.
This is my fault. It's all my fault.
I wasn't prepared for sacrifices...
I'm sorry...
At the very least, let me attend...
No... No way...
Why does it...
Why does it have to be you?
Replace the damaged organs with artificial ones, and repair the heart at the same time.
Who is it?
I'm alive.
Who were those people?
They weren't humans.
Ghosts? No, they were physically killing each other.
I was about to get killed.
No, I was stabbed in the heart.
I was definitely killed.
However...
Someone there saved me.
Rin, what I'm concerned with is why you took those actions.
Our battle must not be seen by anyone.
If we're seen, the rule is to silence the witness as soon as possible.
Even Lancer prioritized that over our battle.
And... sooner or later, he'll realize that the witness is still alive.
I see, if the witness is still alive...
...there's no way that Lancer will leave him alone.
It's that guy!
He came after me?
Weapon! Are there any weapons?
But... I have to give it everything I've got at this point!
Trace on!
Material composition...
...strengthening complete.
Come on!
I won't let something like before...
But, needing to kill the same human twice in one day is...
This time, I won't hesitate!
Oh, this is surprising.
I see, this is why you didn't die when your heart was pierced as well.
It's very faint, but I can feel some mana.
Geez, you're taking up extra work right now.
Yeah, I know.
You really are surprising me, boy.
Maybe you are the seventh one.
The seventh one?
Even so, this is the end for you.
Yeah, right.
I just got my life saved.
I won't die easily.
I can't die meaninglessly!
That's...
Servant Saber.
Upon your summoning, I have come forth.
I ask you, are you my Master?
Master...?
Servant Saber.
From now on, my sword shall be with you...
...and your fate shall be with me.
With this, the contract is complete.
Wait!
An invisible sword?
What's wrong, Lancer?
Standing around idly disgraces the reputation of lance users.
If you are not going to attack, then I will.
Before that, let me ask you one thing.
Your Noble Phantasm... is it a sword?
Who knows? An axe? A spear? No, it could also be a bow.
You're pissing me off, Saber.
That heart... I'll be taking it!
Gáe Bolg!
A curse? No, it was the reversal of cause and effect.
You dodged it...
...my finishing blow, Gáe Bolg.
Gáe Bolg?!
You are Ireland's champion?
If I show this, it'd be bad if it's not a finishing blow.
Seriously, I wonder if this weapon is too famous or not.
Wait!
She...
Who are you?
Why do you ask? I'm the Servant Saber.
Wait!
Archer, disappear!
Stop it, Saber!
Girls shouldn't be swinging weapons around!
Especially not if they're injured!
No sword shall be set down in front of an enemy.
So a loyal Servant like Saber defies her Master's will.
You're...
...Tohsaka...
Good evening, Emiya-kun.
You've been dragged into a certain "game."
A game known as the "Holy Grail War," in which seven Masters kill each other.
Is the supervisor here?
Kotomine Church.
The only people who have the right to obtain the Holy Grail are the Masters who have control over the Servants.
When there is only one of seven Masters left, the Holy Grail will appear before the winner.
Emiya Shirou, as a chosen Master, do you have the will to fight in this Holy Grail War or not?
I will fight.
If the fire ten years ago was because of the Holy Grail War, then I can't let it happen again.
It's settled.
All right, let's go back.
Rejoice, young man.
Your wish can finally be fulfilled.
Without a clear presence of evil, your wish cannot be granted.
There is a need for evil to oppose justice.
Your most noble desire and your most disgraceful desire hold the same meaning.
Do not worry, you do not need to amend them.
The dilemma you face is righteous for a human.
I've fulfilled my duties.
Tohsaka, you're a pretty good person.
Huh? I won't go easy on you even if you flatter me!
Shirou!
Good evening, Onii-chan.
This is the second time we meet like this.
Oh no, that Servant is on a totally different level!
Nice to meet you, Rin.
I'm Illya, Illyasviel von Einzbern...
You understand, right?
Einzbern...
I don't think further salutations are needed.
All of you will die here anyway.
Do it, Berserker!
Shirou, step back.
Saber.
Saber!
Saber...
Saber.
Why...
There's no way she can win.
My Berserker is the strongest hero from Greek mythology.
The strongest hero from Greek mythology...
Don't tell me...
It's OK, Berserker.
She can regenerate herself, so cut her head off and kill her.
You...!
That's enough. This is boring.
Berserker!
Rin.
I'll kill you the next time we meet.
Ou... ouch...
It looks like you have awoken.
Yeah, just now.
You do not look that well.
No... I'm fine now.
I see.
Then, Shirou, there is something I want to tell you regarding last night's incident.
What is it?
It is troublesome for a Master to take such actions.
Combat is my domain.
You only need to carry out your own role, Shirou.
There is no need for you, a Master, to protect me.
There are also no reasons for it.
I don't need a reason to save a girl!
Protecting my own safety, eh?
She's probably right, but...
It's just...
A sickly-sweet feeling...
What was that just now?
Emiya-kun.
Do you know how much of an idiot you are?
What do you mean by "idiot?"
For a Master to walk around without his Servant, that's like saying, "Please kill me."
Gosh, it makes me so angry to see such foolishness before me.
What are you talking about?
Killing or not, aren't battles meant to take place where there's no one around?
We're at school in daytime.
That's right, but is there anyone around at the moment?
You can run, but you're just going to make it painful.
I'm going to win anyway.
Wait, Tohsaka!
We're at school, so there might be someone still here.
If there's someone here, I'll deal with it then.
I'm the kind of person who won't let a chance before me go to waste.
Do you know about a Scandinavian curse spell called "Gandr Shot?"
That's the one that worsens someone's physical condition just by pointing at them.
If you know about it, then that cuts the story short.
I won't take your life, so stay still!
Tohsaka, just now, that was...
Emiya-kun...
Your arm! There's a hole in your arm!
Tohsaka, I'll leave that girl to you.
Emiya-kun!
There's no doubt about it. Someone's here.
Emiya-kun, are you all right?!
Once this barrier is activated, it will dissolve and absorb the souls of the humans inside it.
It's a very diabolical act.
It's a plan to charge up a Servant using various means.
And that Servant is the one we fought yesterday...
Rider?
There's no proof, but that's the most natural way to think about it.
But, there's no proof that he is the Master either.
What's wrong?
No, nothing.
In the mean time, all we can do is delay the activation of the barrier.
And... what should I do?
Basically, find the spell marks.
In your language, find places that you feel are repulsive or where you think the air tastes sweet.
So like there?
You know, if it were that easy to find them, there'd be no problem.
Even for me, when I concentrate and sharpen my senses, finding one by one is...
This is...
Abzug-Bedienung, mittelstark.
That was a spell mark?
Yeah, you might have a talent for finding these things.
It's getting interesting now, isn't it?
Emiya-kun, stay behind after school, OK?
We might be able to give this clandestine Master a little scare.
Do you sense any more?
Nope, that's about it.
I see. Well, this should be enough.
Whoever it is probably didn't expect this many spell marks to be destroyed in one day.
He will definitely make a move.
A chance to catch his tail, eh?
Exactly.
Well, show yourself.
I will have you atone for the guilt of making me go through so much trouble.
Emiya-kun, return home quickly.
Don't wander off somewhere else.
What, you're worrying about me, Tohsaka?
No... That's not it!
We're partners now, so if you drop out without me knowing, then my plans will be ruined.
That's all there is to it, OK?
See you!
What's with this presence?!
If I'm only going to check it out...
This is...
That's right, I need to tell Tohsaka...
Rider!
You sure you want to use it, Emiya?
Shinji?!
Shinji...
It's been around two years since you've been here.
Hey.
I'm leaving her next to me... because I'm scared of your Servant too.
You say you trust me and that's your attitude?
Well, it's OK.
Let's get to the main point.
Want to team up with me, Emiya?
Actually, I'm still very inexperienced as a Master, so I want to team up with someone I can trust.
How did you become a Master?
The Matou family is a lineage of magi.
What?!
Even so, the roots of our clan have dried up.
We're no longer magi now.
We only have the knowledge.
Don't tell me, Sakura has been learning sorcery too?
You don't know anything, do you?
If there are two children, the successor is only the eldest son.
The child that's not chosen as the successor...
...is either raised without knowing anything,
or sent to another family as a foster child.
I see... so Sakura's not related to the Holy Grail War.
I can't use sorcery, and you don't have the knowledge.
Don't you think this is perfect?
Let's team up and fight against our present enemy... Tohsaka Rin.
Fight against Tohsaka...?
Emiya?
Our conversation ends here.
I'll eventually fight Tohsaka, but right now I can trust her, and I want to keep it that way.
Fine.
If that's the case, I'll just observe on the sidelines for the moment.
I'm sorry I couldn't be of assistance, Shinji.
Oh yeah, that reminds me.
As a token of my good will, let me tell you something.
I don't know who, but one of the Masters has built himself a nest in the Ryuudouji.
Ryuudouji?!
In Issei's home?!
According to my Servant, there's a witch living in the mountain and she's collecting souls on a large scale.
However, I don't plan on stopping it.
A witch who's collecting souls...
Shirou, you are naïve.
You will just end up being killed by the other Masters.
You are...
Servant Assassin, Sasaki Kojirou.
What's this? My chest hurts.
Saber...
Saber!
She...
Don't tell me...
I see, you are indeed an opponent I cannot hold back against.
Oh.
So you are finally in the mood, Saber.
Will you be able to withstand my attack, Servant Assassin?
Saber.
This is like a typhoon...
...but it can't just be something this small...
Show me what's hidden inside that sword, Saber!
Who is it?!
Let's leave it here for now, Saber.
Someone is trying to spy on your sword.
If this battle goes on, it will no longer be a fight solely between the two of us.
Wait, are you planning on not finishing the fight, Assassin?
Isn't it lucky for you that someone interrupted?
Look, someone is here to pick you up too.
It's better if you leave before the spy changes his target to that kid.
Saber!
Hey, Saber!
Saber!
Anyway, if you're going to fight, I'd rather do it for you!
The defence you offer is no better than a piece of paper.
You are underestimating Servants!
To think that a mere human can beat heroic souls...
Who do you think you are?!
He just doesn't want you to get hurt.
Right?
No... of course not.
I don't really...
You don't want Saber to get hurt.
That's why you'll fight even if it's reckless.
Even though you know you can't win, you'll try to win.
You don't even care if that leads to your death.
To him, others are more important than himself.
Shirou.
I shall acknowledge the fact that you will fight.
However, if that is the case, I also have a request.
For once, no, I won't say just for once.
For as many times possible,
I will let you experience "being killed in battle" and have you get used to battles.
Demon...
It was my intention to attack without mercy.
To think that I would be giving up after two hours of fighting...
No, there is nothing to be ashamed of.
Your attacks were very focused and powerful.
Let me go and get some water.
Please rest.
Yeah.
Saber.
I want to ask you something.
What is it?
Well, you're lending me your power in order to obtain the Holy Grail, right?
What do you want the Holy Grail for?
I want to obtain the Holy Grail in order to fulfil a certain responsibility.
But, maybe all I want is to start again.
I see.
Yo, Emiya.
It looks like you're not coming to school today either; are you not feeling well?
What do you want?
Perfect timing.
As friends who share the same worries, I just wanted to speak with you alone.
Come to school now.
And, of course, keep it a secret from Tohsaka.
Shinji, you-
That's weird...
It should be time for recess right now.
What is... this?
Does this mean that the enemy is coming...?
Yo, Emiya!
It's nice to see you looking a lot more lively than I thought.
How's this? Do you like my taste?
This is your doing, Shinji?!
That's right.
I knew you had arrived, so I immediately activated the barrier.
Stop it! Do you know what you're doing?!
What are you doing giving me orders?
If you want me to stop this, shouldn't you get on your knees and beg for it?
This is the last time, stop the barrier, Shinji!
If you really don't like it, stop it by force!
If that's the case, then it makes things easier!
All right, Rider, you don't need to hold back.
This is surprising... my blade couldn't kill him.
What are you doing, Rider?
Just kill him quickly!
Come, Saber!
Shirou.
There's no time to explain.
You understand the situation, right, Saber?
Wait, Shirou.
Before that, let me take care of your injuries.
I'll leave Rider to you. You are the only one who can beat her.
But in that case...
If we don't stop the barrier, Fuji-nee and everyone else will be in danger.
If you don't want to do this, I'll use a command spell.
No, I understand.
Your orders please, Master.
So you've appeared...
I will defeat Rider here.
You go take care of Rider's Master.
I'll leave her to you.
This happened because you didn't finish off Emiya quickly!
What are you doing?!
Rider!
What are you doing, Rider?!
As expected, Saber.
Shinji!
Stop the barrier, Shinji!
Wa-wait.
I get it. I lost, Emiya.
I will stop the barrier immediately...
Rider!
Stop the Blood Fort!
Right now!
It's fine now, right? Let go of me!
Shinji, give up your command spells.
If you do that, you won't need to fight any more.
Screw you!
As if I would do such a thing!
If I lose my command spells, I won't be able to control Rider!
If that happens, I'm...
You just have to go to Kotomine Church.
That church protects Masters who have surrendered.
Shirou!
Ri-Rider.
We will retreat from this place.
Shirou, step back!
Rider plans to release the mana she got from the barrier.
Shirou, stay away.
Rider is planning to use her Noble Phantasm.
It looks like they really used the Noble Phantasm to retreat.
Shirou?
Shirou!
Saber.
Shirou, it looks like you have awoken.
I have many things to tell you.
Regarding leaving me behind and meeting the enemy...
Regarding your attempt to fight on your own...
Regarding that you did not look after yourself...
Do you understand?
All of these things are foolish acts that could have led to your death!
What is so fun about making things so difficult for me?!
No, that's...
I will have you tell me what exactly you are thinking once and for all today!
Sorry, I... was an idiot.
Please lend me your power. I can't beat the other Masters by myself.
I need your help.
I understand that very well now.
So you acknowledge that what you have been doing up till now was wrong?
No, I don't think I was wrong.
Even now, I don't want to see you get hurt.
If you're going to fight, I'll fight together with you.
You are still thinking about something like that?!
This is one point I will not let go of.
I can't let you fight alone.
That stubbornness is just like you, indeed.
There is no need for me to even answer that.
I am your sword.
Who else besides me would lend you their powers?
What are you two doing?
This looks suspicious.
Don't tell me you two were having a strategy meeting without me.
That is incorrect.
I was just measuring my Master's pulse to see if he is healthy or not.
That sure is a weird way to measure someone's pulse.
Oh well.
Saber, here.
What's that?
Saber's clothes.
Be careful.
If she armours herself from forced summoning, her clothes will disappear.
Thank you, Rin. I have troubled you.
But, are you really OK with clothes that have such a plain design?
Why do you stick with these clothes, Saber?
Because Shirou said that they suit me.
We have been around the main buildings.
Are there any other places we should look?
Oh yeah, there should be a factory in front...
Shirou!
Yeah.
Are they close by?
No, they are not at a close distance.
However, we are definitely being watched.
They are challenging us.
I will trace the mana.
Please be careful, Master.
Saber, be careful! Something seems strange.
Yes, however...
Shirou!
Saber, she's...!
I will go after her. Shirou, you stay here.
Rider is aiming for the roof... Then, as her Master, Shinji must be...
What?
Saber...
I'm surprised. You are a lot tougher than you look.
To have brought out a mythological creature... your sins are extensive, are they not, Rider?
Curse yourself as much as you can, for you cannot even touch this child.
Shirou is not around.
I will wait for the moment when Rider becomes defenceless.
If I keep defending and wait for her...
Shirou...
Shirou, why?!
Shinji!
Can you see this, Emiya?
This is the difference in our strength!
Where are you, Shinji?!
This will be the end for you and that Servant.
Don't worry, it's not like we don't know each other.
I will make it painless by killing you two in one instant.
Do it, Rider.
Begin with that woman.
Don't leave any limbs behind, OK?
Saber!
Shirou...
Saber...
Looks like the fun ends here, Saber.
My Noble Phantasm is too powerful, thus, people will notice if I use it.
However, there is no fear that it will be noticed here.
Is that your Noble Phantasm, Rider?
Disappear, Saber!
O' mighty wind...
Bellerophon!
You said no one would notice it here.
I agree!
I do not need to worry about scorching the earth here either!
A golden... sword?
Ex...
...calibur!
That sword is...
Saber...
It's burning...
My command spells are burning away...
Shinji!
Wait, Shinji!
Saber!
Pull yourself together!
Saber!
Saber!!
