Episode 10 To the Princess's Side
I'll save both Miyu and the world!
Saying we have to choose is flawed from the start!
Nonsense.
It's the Holy Grail, right?
We entrust humanity's wishes and hopes to the Holy Grail, right?
So why?
Why aren't we wishing for everyone to be happy?!
Illya-sama!
What the heck?
Do you have a plan when you say that?
I don't know how to make it happen.
But... But...
But...
Maybe that kind of dream-like wish
is exactly what we should entrust to the Holy Grail, right?
Yeah!
That voice!
Darius-sama...
What splendid, biting words, Illyasviel.
How arrogant, how sentimental, how illogical.
And yet they strike the heart...
That's as you should be.
We need you to continue trying to save Miyu.
Miyu-oneechan, you're crying?
Are you sad?
Tears aren't
shed only when you're sad.
I thought my fate was to die as the Holy Grail.
I had given up, thinking I couldn't escape it.
But...
Miyu!
Will you cling to such fragile hope,
such uncertain idealism that could disappear when you try to seize it?
I won't
run away into despair anymore!
How touching!
Did you hear that, Illyasviel?
Your willpower has given our princess hope!
I want you to fight with all your power.
Try and steal Miyu from me!
Hope is the very worst poison.
You don't need to tell us that!
Shave your beard, old man. We're coming for you.
After we defeat her, you're next.
Illya, release your Install.
You're more effective in normal mode.
Okay.
Is this all right?
Whoa! What's with that outfit?!
Is that how you look when you have Sapphire?
Isn't that a little too lewd?
Your belly button, the skirt... What's up with this?!
Hey, Kuro...
This isn't the time.
I'd love to wear it sometime!
Kuro?
Shh!
Listen, I'll...
Huh?
Now, then...
Sapphire, you can talk, right?
Yes. I'll outline our situation.
The enemy specializes in displacement thaumaturgy.
Rin-sama and Luvia-sama have had their minds displaced,
but they'll return to normal if you strike the seal on their chest.
H-Hey, Kuro, what are you...
What... No.
Okay, we've got the bare minimum of information.
First, we need to rescue our pair of idiots.
The best timing is...
Who are you talking to?
...up to you.
Roger.
Gil-kun and Bazett-san? Where did you come from?
That cloth...
You shouldn't store it in the Gate of Babylon.
I'm the one with ownership over it, so I can draw it out, too...
Hades's Cap of Invisibility.
Whoa.
I-I'm back in my body?
What is with this topless outfit?!
Illya-san! I was worried about you!
Ruby!
You infiltrated with three from the start, but kept two hidden?
One of us ran too far ahead, so we barely made it in time.
Sorry about that.
I won't let you shoot.
Hey, hey! I'm not following what's going on!
Someone give me an explanation!
Also, lend me an overcoat, please!
You never do learn.
This isn't the time to collect change.
We managed to rescue Rin and Luvia, so your next job is...
Yeah, yeah. You're a slave driver.
Then I'll just block it.
Sorry, Granny.
I don't have time...
She's aiming above me?
...for you!
This is why I hate children.
Every single one of you ignores the program!
Sorry to keep you waiting.
I'm here to rescue you.
Miyu!
Illya...
I won't let you!
Don't worry, Miyu.
I'm...
coming to get you now!
Install!
You never learn!
Crown Undertaker.
Illya!
Here's an extra for you...
Ninth Prayer.
Illya!
Something like that won't work!
There's one more Card I received
from Kuro.
Include!
Rule Breaker!
This is...
Darius-sama!
All right!
That destroys all thaumaturgy.
If that man is the one conducting this Holy Grail War,
it may be that the entire ceremony...
What is this?
P-Papa?
How... dare you?
Huh?
Wh-What?
What's happening?
What the hell have you done?!
Beatrice?
Tsk.
So what's going on with him?
Protect Darius-sama. That is all you need to do.
What have you been doing?
I'd just finished enjoying myself.
Don't make me go into detail.
What's going on here?
Whatever. You're up against both of us now.
No matter what you try on your own,
you'll never reach anyone again.
Not this man, nor your caged little birdie.
I'm not on my own.
And besides, Miyu...
has her own wings!
Miyu-sama!
Sapphire!
I finally got to see you again.
Master!
Pretty...
The castle's turning into a mountain?
No, it's returning to one?
So Darius displaced this mountain with his castle?
He used thaumaturgy on such a grand scale...
And by himself?
I have a bad feeling about this.
We don't have time to waste being confused, Illya!
Miyu!
Illya...
Flirting in the damn air...
Are you dragonflies or what?!
Farewell, Ainsworth.
Miyu-oneechan, are you leaving us?
Erica...
Erica-chan...
Listen, I don't want to sacrifice anyone.
If there's a way to save everyone,
no matter how slim the chance may be,
I want to pursue it.
That's so damn stupid!
Do you seriously believe that feather-brained crap, Miyu-san?!
I do believe it. Because Illya's my friend.
Your heads are screwed up.
Your friend...
What about me?
I'm your friend too, aren't I, Miyu-oneechan?
Erica...
That girl only knows the world the Ainsworths have shown her.
She means neither harm nor good, but...
You're...
not my friend.
I see...
I'm not.
I'm just...
Have you forgotten, Miyu-sama?
We still hold the reins to your brother's life.
Stop! Not Onii-chan!
What a shame.
You haven't noticed, then?
We haven't seen the most unpredictable one of us in a while.
Wh-Who's there?
Wake up.
Time for you to break out, Onii-chan.
You don't need to worry, Miyu.
By now, he's already...
What's that?
Darius-sama?
Even laughing is tiresome.
This isn't funny...
This isn't funny at all.
This is absolutely trifling.
A mere vessel shouldn't speak of the future.
Your words, your will, your emotions
are all just materials.
It's futile.
You can't overturn my myth.
Wh-What is that?
How would I know?
I don't know.
I don't know, but that's definitely...
Beyond the power of any human.
What is that?
Where did it come from?
It can't be. It was here the whole time?
Above the castle?
Miyu, what's that? What's going on?
Who in the world is Darius?
That's not Darius.
Huh?
Darius is long dead.
The man standing there is a counterfeiter
who hid Darius's death and clung to his ghost.
He is
Julian Ainsworth,
Darius Ainsworth's son.
Son? Julian?
Huh? That name and face...
Where have I...
Quit your prattle.
I am Darius.
Illyasviel, I'll forgive you.
For giving Miyu unnecessary knowledge and power...
For destroying my father's conceptual displacement.
Those are trivial matters.
But remember this.
If you try to destroy my myth...
If you try to overturn the conclusion I've established...
I'll erase you myself!
No way! The Card...
I figured it wouldn't,
but it didn't even budge, huh?
Kuro!
Kuro...
It's been a while, Miyu.
I'd love to hug you, too,
but I don't think we have the time.
Onii-chan...
What?
Miyu-oneechan said
that I'm not her friend...
Why not?
I was always nice to her.
She even pets my head...
Huh? That's obvious!
You were no more than someone to talk to.
From Miyu's perspective, we're all
her enemies, you know!
Who gave you permission to speak?
You're seizing my heart?
Onii-chan?
That's right.
I am your only ally, your only family.
You have no one else left.
People are born to perish.
Our world is already broken.
Our future is already at a dead end.
All the more reason
I will protect it.
You and I will realize the Ainsworth ambition!
Got it?
I'm...
I'm not sad at all!
After all, I have you, Onii-chan.
I'll do my best.
Onii-chan, I'll...
believe in you—
Erica?
I'll advance the myth by another passage.
If you're running, then have it your way, Miyu.
However, the darkness of the Ainsworths will cover this Earth to its core.
Huh?
That muck
is taking human shape?
No way.
Every one of those
is a Heroic Spirit?
What?
You're kidding!
Get back!
Why, you...
This is bad.
None of these are small fry!
Full Arc, Schneiden!
It's not working!
What in the world are these things?
Bazett!
Please run!
Just buying time is difficult.
Holy Grail...
Holy Grail... Holy Grail... Holy Grail...
Those Heroic Spirits of the muck are the dead who failed to win the Grail.
They are beasts whose only motive is to seek the Grail.
They will multiply until they manage to find it,
and they will bury this planet in despair.
Do you understand?
If you want to stop this disaster,
take my hand
of your own free will.
You mustn't, Miyu-sama.
If you go back to him now, it will all have been for naught!
Miyu-sama!
You can't take his hand.
Illyasviel!
Illya?
Pointless.
Must you lose everything you cling to before you'll understand?!
That's right.
Miyu, you don't need to be bound by that man any longer.
N-No way. Why are you...
What's happening?
It can't be.
I heard what's going on.
Thank you.
For fighting for my little sister.
I'll take care of the rest.
That's my job, as her big brother.
Trace...
On.
Next Time
It seems Miyu will never find happiness unless I defeat you.
If you say you'll sacrifice one for the whole,
I'll be the villain as often as it takes.
You Are Not Alone
I've made it to you, Julian!
