@@TheRedRaven_ Fate Zero happens 8 years before unlimited blade works. Though there is no main character in Zero, Kurusagu Emyia raises the main character Shiro Emyia in unlimited blade works. Even if you end up hating Fate as a series, most people enjoy zero.
In a clearing surrounded by bushes, Waver Velvet began his preparation for the summoning ritual. The entire day, Waver's nerves had been so tautly stretched by the incessant crowing of the roosters that a ritual of purification for the mind was needed before the conduction. The shape of the magic circle must be drawn on the ground while the dripping rooster blood was still warm. He had practiced the procedure many times, drawing the four encircling patterns of departure quickly inside the summoning circle. No mistakes must be made. "Fill. Fill. Fill. Fill. Fill. Repeat five times. But when each is filled, destroy it." Waver carefully spread the rooster blood on the ground as he chanted the incantation. In the basement workshop of the Tohsaka residence, identical preparations were being made for the same ritual. "For the elements silver and iron, the foundation stone and the Archduke of Pacts, and for my Great Master, Schweinorg. Raise a wall against the wind and close the gates of four directions. Come forth from the crown and follow the forked road leading to the Kingdom." Tokiomi Tohsaka chanted the incantation loudly as he inscribed the magic circle, using not sacrificial blood but the molten essence of magical gems. To prepare for this day, Tohsaka had used up all the mana-filled gems stockpiled in his hoard. Beside him were the Kotomines, Risei and Kirei. Kirei gazed intently at the holy relic on the altar. At first glance it looked like a broken fragment of a mummy, but it was apparently fossilized skin shed by the first snake in the world, in ancient times eons ago. Feeling a wave of fear, Kirei shrivered at the thought of the Heroic Spirit it would summon. Tokiomi’s confidence was finally understood. No Servant could possibly defeat the Heroic Spirit he had chosen. At the same time, in the distant Einzbern castle, Kiritsugu Emiya was examining the completed summoning circle inscribed on the floor of the ceremony room. "Is a simple ritual like this really enough to summon a Heroic Spirit?" Irisviel, watching the procedure from the side, was surprised by the spartan nature of the preparations. "Surprisingly, yes. You see, the summoning ritual doesn't require a big, elaborate evocation." Kiritsugu explained as he carefully checked for twists and smudges on the patterns drawn in mercury. "The actual summoning is performed by the Grail itself. My job as a Master is to firmly anchor the Heroic Spirit in this world, and to supply it with enough mana to take physical form. That should do it." Satisified with the completed state of the summoning circle, Kiritsugu nodded and stood up. The holy relic - the sheath of the legendary holy sword - was placed on the altar. "I assume you've memorized the summoning spell correctly?" Zouken Matou repeatedly reminded Kariya for safety's sake. The latter nodded in the darkness. Full of foul odor of rot and dampness, a green darkness like the sea depths - this was the warm storage hidden deep beneath the grounds of the Matou residence, which stood on the hill of the small mountainous town. "Very well. But I’m going to have to add two extra lines to the basic incantation." "What do you mean?" Zouken smiled ominously at Kariya's confused expression. "Oh it’s really quite simple, Kariya. Because of your short time in training, your rank as a mage is somewhat lower than that of the other Masters that the Grail has summoned. That will affect the Servant's base abilities. This means we have to boost the Servant's parameters, by attempting to modify the Servant's class as much as possible." They were predetermining the Servant’s class by altering the summoning incantations. Assignment of Servant classes was decided by the summoned Heroic Spirit's attributes, but there were exceptions; two classes could be designated by the summoner beforehand. Assassin was one of them. The Heroic Spirit belonging to this class could be assumed to be a group of killers inheriting the name Hassan-I Sabbah. The other class could be taken by any Heroic Spirit, and could be manifested as long as the summoner incorporated the required foreign ingredients. Therefore- "Kariya, to that end, I want you to add the affinity „insanity“ to the Servant you summon today." Zouken declared loudly with an overjoyed face, openly welcoming the disastrous implications of his decision. On that day, incantations from different lands, targeted at different entities, were chanted almost simultaneously - a harmony so coincidental it could hardly be regarded as anything but fate. For all the mages have the same hope - a hope for a miracle. The summons, uttered to heroes on the other side of the Universe by humans who would brutally slaughter each other to achieve that miracle, rang out from the earth at the same time. This moment would present the greatest test to Waver as a mage. He could lose everything, even his life. Waver felt this acutely, but he was not the least bit afraid. A passionate desire for strength. A determination to relentlessly pursue his goal. By those qualities, Waver Velvet was undoubtedly an outstanding mage. "Heed my words. My will creates your body, and your sword creates my destiny. If you heed the Grail's call, and obey my will and reason, then answer my summoning!" The sensation of mana surrounded his body. No mage could escape the malevolent chill and agony from the slithering, circulating Magic Circuits within his corporal being. Waver gritted his teeth as he kept chanting the incantation. "I hereby swear, that I shall be all the good in the world. That I shall defeat all evil in the world." Kiritsugu's sight darkened. The Emiya family crest, passed down through the generations and carved on his back, began to chant the incantation separately, as an individual entity, supporting Kiritsugu's magecraft. His heart, in a dimension that escaped his mind's control, began to beat rapidly like a hurrying clock hand. Tormented by the mana gathered from the surrounding air, his flesh had already forgotten its function in a human body; instead, it now became a component of the mysterious ceremony, purely a circuit connecting the ethereal to the material. The severe pain created by this discord was enough to make one scream out loud, but Kiritsugu paid it no heed, concentrating instead on pronouncing his incantation. Even the presence of Irisviel, who stood beside him with her breath held, was no longer present in his consciousness. Adding the forbidden, alien ingridient in the summoning incantation, Kariya included the two lines that would rob the summoned Heroic Spirit of its sanity and demote it to a Berserker. "Then let thine eyes be clouded with the fog of turmoil and chaos, thou, who art trapped in a cage of madness, and I, the summoner, who holds thine chains-" Kariya was different from the other mages; his Magic Circuits were other organisms living within him as parasites. The anguish that came from inciting them and activating his Circuits was incomparable to what the other mages faced. As he chanted the incantations, his limbs twitched in spasms, the blood seeped out from his burst capillaries. Sanguine tears flowed from the remaining intact eye on the right and dripped down his cheek. Kariya did not grow lax in his concentration. By thinking about his duty, he found the courage not to shrink away. "Seventh heaven, clad in the great words of power, come forth from the circle of binding, Guardian of Scales!" As his prayers ended, Tokiomi felt the accelaration of the mana racing in his body reach its utmost limit. Thunder and lightning roared, accompanied by rolling clouds borne on a mighty wind. In the ferocity of a gale so violent that onlookers like Kirei could not open their eyes, the patterns of the summoning circle glimmered. Finally, the Tohsaka Magic Circuits connected with a plane that lay beyond men. From the dazzling light shining forth, the golden silhouette of an upright figure emerged. Awed by august solemnity, Father Risei muttered dreamily in spite of himself. "We have won, Kirei. Victory is ours." Mortal wishes were passed to them like this; to those legendary illusions arriving here from the other side, wrapped in tornadoes and lightning. Originally human, but later separated from the mortal plane. Elevated to the level of elementals through powers not of men. The place where supernatural primates gathered - The Throne of Heroes which had its power of the Gods suppressed. Heroic Spirits, weaved from the dreams of countless ordinary men, descended onto the earth all at the same time. Then- In a forest at night, enveloped by the darkness, at each of these locations a majestic voice now challenged: "I ask you, are you worthy, to be my Master?"
@@Mr.EintheMorning Fate/Zero itself is originally a light novel (not a visual novel like Fate/stay night). The anime is adapted from the light novel. There's no official translation of it, sadly. :(
Quite the opposite, Gilgamesh could have ended the grail war in an afternoon if he wanted to but he's just too cocky and proud that he deemed none of the other opponents worthy to fight him.
Well he is the strongest in the fate universe afterall. I have read that only a few like artoria, Karna and Enkidu can match him provided the conditions are right and gil remains his usual cocky self.
I feel like when “sub only” anime watchers talk trash about how awful English dubs are, they’re only thinking of the literal bottom of the barrel dubs. I don’t think they even realize that there are dubs like this out there and they are much more common especially here in recent years.
Because of a lot of dubs back in the past which were ill equipped with good dub casts, scripts, and directions as well as poor recording. These went on to hit people in the head and metastasized all the way into their thinking and thus concluded that "ALL DUBS ARE BAD! ACCEPT NO SUBSTITUTES TO JP DUB WITH EN SUBS!" and that made a tremendous scar to the English dub part.
@@kokkurisantome980 I refuse to believe that. Consider that today's anime have mostly a 5-6 stars out of 7 as opposed to 30+ years ago where most of them were around 3-5 out of 7. Now THAT is a spectacular improvement compared to yesterday. We didn't have a good standard until Cowboy Bebop came in with all glory where that became A SOLID 7. Dubs that came after it mostly with a 5-6. 7 Masterpiece 6 Excellent 5 Good 4 Mediocre 3 Bad 2 Very Bad 1 Abysmal
I will admit Kariya didn’t have completely pure motives but I believe he genuinely wanted to save Sakura as the look of absolute horror on his face when he sees her in the worm pit and even seeing it he still accepted the worms
I’m honestly not a fan of the UBW dub, mainly cause most characters just don’t sound right to me (except Archer of course) but fate zero nails it’s dub. Everyone is strong and suits their characters well.
Today is the final day for Sitonai to be summoned. I am an F2P player and I'm up to my final 30 saint quarts. I am hoping that with this summoning chant I will be able to summon her. SO plz Fellow weebs and degenerates lend me your power. For I to follow the path of weeb hood and degeneracy. For glory and for honor I post the results. shinzou wo sasageyo!!!!! I have LOST....
