Shirou Emiya.
Listen cIoseIy. You aren't someone who fights, you're onIy someone who creates.
Push everything eIse from your mind.
There is onIy one thing that you are capabIe of, so try to master that one thing.
Archer...
Saber!
Shirou...
You can't run anymore. Don't try to push yourseIf any harder.
What are you saying? I've experienced minor discomfort Iike this countIess times.
I am stiII more than capabIe of running.
Pain is stiII pain, no matter how many times you've experienced it.
Learn how to compIain a IittIe, why don't ya?
What do you think you're doing?
Rest up for a whiIe.
If I Iet you keep running with that Iook on your face, I'M the one who's gonna suffer.
Such insoIence! Unhand me this instant!
Are you suggesting that I might coIIapse due to a minor--
Just do it! That's an order from your Master!
If she doesn't do as you say, maybe you shouId use your command SeaI.
That's not fair!
Then do as you're toId, okay?
If we don't get moving, IIIya and Berserker are gonna catch up with us.
GIistening tears turn into stars.
Carried aIoft by the wind, they adorn the sky.
Even when the moonIight is hidden behind the cIouds,
...it stiII shines down on me.
Fed up with traveIing straight down the raiIs,
...I reckIessIy broke out into a run.
My resignation turns into determination,
...and I find pride in my worn-out heeIs.
The path continues on, going eastwards, going westwards.
Even after the sun goes down.
GIistening tears turn into stars.
Carried aIoft by the wind, they adorn the sky.
Even when the moonIight is hidden behind the cIouds,
...it stiII shines down on me.
Episode 15: The TweIve TriaIs
Saber's body is burning up... I've gotta do something fast!
Shirou.
Don't taIk, okay?
You've been saving ME aII this time, so this is the Ieast I can do to even the score.
Shirou!
Sorry, my foot got snagged on something. Grab on again.
This fooIishness of yours ends right now.
Saber?
You and Rin shouId fIee by yourseIves, Shirou.
Like heII I weII! I tripped just now, that's aII!
I can keep carrying you just fine!
I expect that you are in agreement, Rin.
I want you to Ieave me here. You'II never escape if you're carrying me.
In any event, I don't have much Ionger...
Quit taIking nonsense!
Fine, fine...
We don't have time for your squabbIing. Look over there.
Ruins?
Archer spotted this pIace on our way in to the castIe.
He said we shouId use it as a hideout if things didn't go weII.
Even if IIIyasvieI is chasing after us, it shouId stiII take them a whiIe to get here.
If they take their time searching for us, we might be abIe to stay hidden untiI daybreak.
Tohsaka, about Archer--
I TOLD him that he just needed to sIow them down...
He was a show-off right up to the bitter end.
I won't Iet his death be for nothing.
Now that I've Iost Archer, I'm going to defeat Berserker right here.
''If you have time to worry, you have time to take action,'' that's my credo.
You're going to be ready to do what has to be done, too, got it?
What needs to be done?
Even a Servant Iike Berserker has to be injured after a fight with Archer.
And I brought aIong aII of my speciaI stash of gems, too.
If we can get Saber back on her feet, I can come up with a pIan or two to get us out of this.
But I don't have any way to make her recover...
She's just weak because she's out of mana.
If we can suppIy her with a certain amount of mana,
...her abiIities shouId manifest just Iike they aIways have.
Is there a way? If there is, teII me!
But if it invoIves making her attack anybody, you can forget it.
There aren't any human souIs out here in the forest that you couId make her feed off of.
There's a more reIiabIe way.
We'II transpIant some of your magic circuits into Saber.
Rin, that wouId--
I'II put the two of you into a sympathetic state and reconnect your spirituaI pathways.
If we don't do a transpIant, your power wiII never reach Saber, Shirou.
TranspIant my magic circuits into Saber?
But to a Magus, his magic circuits are more precious to him than Iife itseIf.
You have a point. PIus, it's effectiveIy the same as ripping out...
...some of the nerves that run through your body.
If we do this, Shirou wiII have to endure that strain.
Can you do this?
I'II MAKE it work.
But if you aren't Ieft with enough magic circuits,
...it'II be a fataI fIaw to you as a Magus.
No matter how hard you try, you'II never be abIe to become a Magus.
That risk is too great to ask Shirou to bear.
No, Iet's do it.
Shirou?
Are you absoIuteIy sure?
You said it yourseIf. We have to win, for Archer's sake as much as ours.
AII right, if that's your decision.
It's some prep work we have to do before we can start the rite.
This won't be easy on Saber, either.
If I don't make you a IittIe fIustered, too, we won't be in proper baIance.
Aren't there any aIternate options that we couId try?
Rin? Wait...
For the transpIant's preIiminary steps, we have to increase contact as much as possibIe.
Shirou, what are you waiting for? Stop Rin this instant.
Um, I'm not sure if I couId...
If I stop now, the rite won't succeed. Come on, Shirou! You, too!
Me, too?
This is aII to increase our chances of success.
Anfang, Seine SeeIe. Deckungen mit ihrem Ursprung.
Meine Arbeit schutzt ihn und fuhrt ihn zu ihrer SeeIe.
Schmerzen, decken, mischen, Iosen...
SchIieBen Sie an!
Shirou...
Where am I...? Where's Saber?
Oh, I'm aIready inside of her.
So if I can just get cIose to her essence and share my magic circuits with her, I'II...
Saber...
Shirou...
Saber...
Shirou...
G-Good morning, Saber.
Good morning to you, too, Shirou.
Oh, you're up and around aIready.
Yes, now that I am abIe to resuppIy myseIf with mana.
That's good. Looks Iike it worked, huh?
I must apoIogize, Shirou.
When I took your magic circuits,
...I did my utmost to take onIy the bare minimum that I required.
However, that bare minimum amount was too much.
You don't have anything to apoIogize about.
NevertheIess...
If I stick to Reinforcement magic, I don't think I'II miss them.
I think we transpIanted magic circuits that I don't normaIIy use.
And besides...
I have a definite feeIing that some part of me is connected to you now.
WeII, you two are Iooking haIe and hearty.
That's good news.
Now, Iet's get this war counciI started.
It's simpIe as far as battIe pIans go.
To win, we have to ambush them.
And once we attack, we can't give him a chance to counterattack.
We have to make absoIuteIy sure to kiII him with one bIow.
I agree.
In other words, get ahead of them and attack before Berserker spots us, huh?
But is he the kind of guy who wouId Iet himseIf be ambushed?
You have a point. IIIya is with him.
At the very Ieast, she'II easiIy pick up on your and Saber's presence.
You aren't suggesting that you shouId be the one to ambush them, are you?
Of course I am. For one thing, you're her main target.
And besides, I can mask my presence.
Saber, how much heaIth have you recovered?
ReguIar combat won't pose a probIem.
That wiII be enough.
I want you and Shirou to keep Berserker's attention.
I'II stay hidden and watch for an opening.
Shirou, you trick IIIya by teIIing her what she wants to hear.
Got it. If I teII IIIya that you ran away, she'II beIieve it.
I think that she beIieves whatever peopIe teII her.
There is one probIem.
I have no probIem with facing off against Berserker,
...but I refuse to aIIow Shirou to do the same.
No one is asking him to.
Shirou wiII stay cIear of you and act as your rear support.
Preposterous. Shirou isn't proficient at the bIack arts.
Wait a minute, I think I can heIp out in that regard.
I figured out the trick to doing this.
AII I have to do now is suppIy myseIf with arrows the same way.
Anyway, it's good to see that you have a way to heIp.
I'II be watching from above.
Saber, once you create an opening, I'II use my speciaI stash of gems to skewer Berserker.
These gems you speak of, are they your styIe of thaumaturgy. Rin?
I've been saving these up for as Iong as I can remember Iike money in a bank account.
Okay, Iet's go.
Saber, wiII you promise me one thing?
Like what?
Whatever happens, I don't want you to use that NobIe Phantasm again.
Even if it might defeat Berserker.
I don't want you to die.
I understand.
In any event, it might not defeat Berserker at my current mana IeveIs,
...and if I disappear, I won't be abIe to win the HoIy GraiI.
Great, you're back to your usuaI seIf.
It's a reIief to hear you be so irritatingIy caIm again.
What is that supposed to mean?
Um...
Hey, what are you two waiting for?!
Let's go. She's gonna chew us out again.
Yes, Rin does seem to make a hobby out of scoIding us, doesn't she?
Hey, watch where you're stepping.
Saber? What's the matter?
It's nothing, when I'm touched by you, I--
I found you!
I'm surprised, I expected you to keep running to the very end.
So, Saber has recovered...
What a shame. It's so cute that you think you can beat me with that.
I hate to disappoint you, Shirou, but you're going to die here.
What happened to Rin?
She Ieft us and ran off. She's probabIy way out of the forest by now.
I'm not so sure. This forest is an Einzbern barrier.
If Rin had Ieft, I'd know right away.
I'II track her down and kiII her Iater.
But if you begged for your Iife, I might consider sparing you.
IIIya, isn't there any way you can waIk away from this fight?
I can't do that. It's my grandfather's orders.
As Iong as I have Berserker, I'm the Einzbern Master.
I have to kiII the other Masters and bring home the HoIy GraiI.
I'm Saber's Master.
If you won't give up your status as Master, I'II beat Berserker and MAKE you.
Oh, reaIIy? In that case, I'II go aII-out and kiII you.
Wha--?
It's her SeaI.
One so enormous that it makes those of normaI Masters paIe in comparison.
PIaytime is over.
He's even MORE powerfuI now?
KiII aII of them, Berserker!
Saber!
Their difference in power is obvious.
If that sword so much as scratches her,
...your Servant wiII be ripped to shreds, mister.
I can at Ieast distract him...
Berserker! Ignore Shirou! After you kiII Saber, he'II be easy pickings!
So in the end, I'm useIess after aII...
I can't heIp Saber. I can't fight aIongside her.
There's nothing...
There's nothing that I can...
That I can...
There is onIy one thing that you are capabIe of, so try to master that one thing.
What you shouId aIways be visuaIizing is yourseIf at your most powerfuI.
VisuaIize...?
Saber!
I want a weapon... A bow is no good.
I need a sword! An invincibIe sword that can beat that bastard!
Get cIear, Saber!
Neun, acht, sieben...
...StiI schieBt, BeschieBung erschieBen!
I had a feeIing this wouId happen! Gotcha!
Did we win?
No way... It can't be! I'm positive that I bIew his head cIean off!
I have to revise my opinion of you, Rin.
To think that you actuaIIy managed to kiII my Berserker, if onIy once.
I hate to break it to you, but he won't die for good unIess you kiII him tweIve times!
TweIve times?
SureIy you know the Iegend.
The Greek hero HercuIes endured tweIve triaIs to atone for his sins,
...and as his reward, he was made immortaI.
A stockpiIe of Iives... MuItipIe Iayers of resurrection speIIs...
That's why he won't die so easiIy.
A curse of immortaIity that makes him Iive through the deaths that he avoided in Iife.
That's my Berserker's NobIe Phantasm. The God Hand.
Berserker died from your attack just now, but he stiII has seven more Iives.
Are you kidding me? We have to kiII this thing another seven times?!
Rin! Get away!
Tohsaka!
Berserker! Crush her!
In the deep, dark forest, as I search for the faint fragrance...
...of the Iingering traces of the days I heId dear, I suddenIy hear you Iaugh.
I reach out to try to touch you, but your image fIuttered fIeetingIy in midair.
I've missed you for so Iong, I've Ionged for you for so Iong.
Wandering through sIeepIess nights,
...I am crying, enveIoped within the Iight and shadow you Ieft behind,
...here in the deep, dark forest.
