Die, witch!
Reap what you've sown!
Burn!
Witch!
Excuse me! A cross... Does anybody have a cross?
God bless you.
My Lord, my body is yours.
A Holy Grail War?
But there's been a mistake in the summoning.
Something's wrong.
This is the Romanian town of Trifas.
Seven and seven fight each other, yearning for the omnipotent vessel, the Holy Grail.
It's a Grail War like none before.
But why am I here?
sore wa oroka naru natakai toki wo motomu
This is a tale of immortal heroes
fukutsu no eiyuu sono monogatari wo
seeking glory in vanity
chiisaku kanadeta ai wa hazama wo samayou
The quiet words of love are lost in the cracks of time

and the mean fate they fail to move just sneers

Stare at the world from the outside, remembering the tune

they try to follow until the love burns them to ashes

The people cried for justice

Attention everyone!
What?
We were summoned and all that so let's introduce ourselves!
We're all on the same side, right?
So like, you know!
Knowing each other's real names would make things smoother!
I'll go first!
Name's Astolfo.
I'm one of Charlemagne's paladins.
Now I'm a Rider-class.
Pleasure to meet you.
Who're you?
Servant Archer, Chiron.
Nice to meet you, Chiron!
You next!
Hey, what's her real name?
Huh?
Pretty please!
With a cherry on top!
Frankenstein...
Hi, Fran!
Sorry! I didn't mean to upset you.
What about you?
I'm—
Stop!
Saber, don't tell them a thing.
We've agreed to reveal their true names.
I didn't agree to anything.
The fewer people who know, the better.
What do you think, Grandfather?
Very well, Gordes.
You may, but the responsibility is yours.
Of course.
The war begins now.
We shall use our overwhelming might to annihilate the Servants of Red.
Proud champions! I expect great deeds of you.
My name is Vlad Tepes.
For our country and for our ambition, I vow to grasp victory.
I'm Sisigo Kairi, your Master.
Nice to meet you.
You didn't pick the most chipper place to summon me.
Are you a necromancer or something?
That I am.
I spent my youth surrounded with corpses.
I'm a bit surprised that King Arthur's reported son Mordred turned out to be a woma—
Let's not be hasty...
Next time you call me a woman I'll be using your throat as a sheath.
Apologies. It won't happen again.
Good.
Ah, what a waste.
Good riddance.
Maybe it was rude to use that to summon the Knight of Treason.
Don't take me for one of those Round Table invertebrates.
I'm the King of Knights' one true and worthy heir.
Yet you rebelled.
He never considered me more than a servant.
Never appreciated my skills or anything.
So I showed him.
Look at what your reign's worth!
So you want to use the Grail and become king?
The Grail giving me the throne would be meaningless.
I want to try to pull out the Choosing Sword just as the King of Knights did.
That's all.
Try to?
Yeah. Obviously, success is guaranteed.
What?
I guess you might even pull it off.
Nice to have you on board, Mordred.
Let's do this, Master!
So where's the enemy?
Slow down. First we have to stop by the church.
The church?
Yeah. It's time to confess to our good priest.
This should do.
Fran!
Frankenstein?
Sorry about that.
I didn't ask you before telling them your true name. My bad.
Ber-ser-ker.
Berserker?
You want me to call you Berserker?
Fine.
Berserker, use your Noble Phantasm!
And this is only a B-rank Noble Phantasm?
This should be able to take out most Servants,
but according to the blueprints, if she uses its full power, her body won't last.
Berserker, don't use your Noble Phantasm at full power.
Using it at full power is forbidden. Understand?
I am your Master, Fiore Forvedge Yggdmillennia.
A pleasure to meet you.
You really are granted knowledge necessary for this age when summoned.
Language and cultural barriers would make cooperation difficult.
I expected you to appear as a centaur.
I thought it wiser to take this form to keep my identity secret.
However, Master,
I have a question for you too.
Y-Yes?
In this Grail War, the Yggdmillennia clan and the Mage Association will fight.
But when that has concluded, the remaining Masters will have to fight another Holy Grail War among themselves.
That means you will have to fight your brother Caules.
Can you handle that, Master?
I can. I'm better than him.
I will win.
Are you done yet?
Not yet.
Not at all!
I appreciate that you care so much, but don't exhaust yourself just yet.
Where are you going?
I'm gonna go explore the town!
See you around!
I'm not letting you get away.
I'll make you my toy.
Come, Saber.
Listen. You are to focus on combat.
No need for unnecessary thoughts.
Understood.
You are a Servant. A familiar.
Never forget that and do as you're told.
Of course.
In that case tell me your wish.
My wish?
Yes.
You must have a wish for the Grail.
That is why you were summoned.
I have no grand wish worthy of the Grail.
Don't lie to me! Of course you do!
I do have ambitions, but I have to achieve those by my own means.
Are you taking me for a fool, Siegfried?
Do you think I don't know of the chagrin of your fall?
It's not that. My death was necessary and I have accepted it.
I have no regrets.
Shameless! You don't intend to tell me your wish?
Whatever. Begone.
What do you think I lacked in life?
I cannot even begin to imagine.
People.
I never had enough men suited to leading my armies.
Not this time though.
The wisest of all centaurs who taught many heroes of Greek legends, Chiron.
A Paladin of Charlemagne, the famed adventurer Astolfo.
Kabbalist scholar and golem master, Avicebron.
The monstrous creation of the genius scientist Victor Frankenstein.
The mighty slayer of the dragon Fafnir, Siegfried.
Finally the warlord prince and father of this country, Vlad III.
Had I had them under my command in life,
I would never have been captured or given that filthy name.
But we must now focus on the present.
To defeat the Red Faction, I shall devote all my might.
I appreciate it.
Only Assassin is left.
It's Jack the Ripper.
A mass murderer who terrorized England a century ago.
She and her master should be arriving soon.
Mommy, I'm hungry!
Oh well, that was hardly enough to fill you up, was it?
Yup!
Let's look for some food, then.
Okay!
Professor, which homunculus will you use?
This is the designated place.
Were you the one who called me?
Pleased to meet you.
I am the supervisor, Shiro Kotomine.
Sisigo Kairi.
Do I have to introduce myself?
I know of you.
Who is your Servant?
Hey!
This smells like trouble. Let me stay, Master.
Allow me to return the favor.
I am the Assassin of Red. My true name is Semiramis.
Nice to meet you, Sisigo or what was it.
Let's share what we know.
Most of the Black Faction seem to have finished their preparations.
Their Lancer, assumed to be Vlad III, is particularly dangerous.
So they did summon him?
Fame relates to the Servant's power.
Here in Romania, he would be summoned not as a vampire, but as a hero.
What about our servants?
Excellent, in their qualities at least.
I figured.
We've also identified that a Ruler-class has been summoned.
A fifteenth Servant?
The Ruler class serves to ensure the balance of the Holy Grail War.
In this case it isn't surprising that it was summoned.
I'd rather not have them pick on me.
Let's go meet up with the other Masters.
That won't be necessary.
Oh?
We'll be taking our own path.
Our Saber has more than enough power to take them on.
Are you bad at working in teams?
That's one way to put it.
The enemy is an organized army.
If you act without coordinating, we will be at a disadvantage.
Do you still refuse to cooperate?
That's right. Sorry, priest.
They're not following.
Seems so.
Even an Assassin would have to materialize to attack.
I'm too good to let that happen.
Fine.
Master, why wouldn't you work with them?
You didn't want to, either.
That was just a gut feeling.
That Semiramis woman smelled like my mother.
Women like that must never be trusted.
Then it was the right decision.
I trust your intuition.
Well, thanks.
I'm glad my Master's not some boot-licking sucker.
But not too glad. Medium glad.
Thanks.
Now then, this is Trifas.
Wait, I've got a favor to ask.
A favor?
They were on their guard.
Not my fault.
We don't even know Saber's true name.
They hid it with their Noble Phantasm or via some other means.
What do we do? We should sort it out quickly.
They're after the Grail too.
That means we're on the same side for now.
We should hurry and complete the Gardens.
I thought the rites would be done in a day or two.
Yes, th—
A horse, a horse!
My kingdom for a horse!
Does anything but nonsense ever come out of your mouth, Caster?
Please, Queen of Assyria, your words sadden me greatly.
An affront to my works is an affront to myself, Shakespeare!
And? What do you want?
Spartacus, you see, went to pick a fight.
What?!
As I said, our Berserker is headed for the Black fortress to bring the battle to them.
Ah, just like a lover whose blood is boiling with passion!
Uncontrollable heroes are so cumbersome.
Any idea why Berserker lost it?
Dammit!
What the hell?!
This is great! Thanks a lot, Master.
Not worth the mention. It's a necessity.
Anyway, we're in the middle of enemy territory, yet no one's attacking us.
Don't worry. This town is under Yggdmillennia's control.
Which means?
See for yourself.
Ah, I get it.
You wanted to lure them out but you'd rather do it yourself than ask me to do it.
Aren't you the reckless one, Master?
I like it.
Take care of the golems.
I'll handle the homunculi.
Right.
Show me your power, Saber!
You got it, Master!
Was that Gandr?
Take that!
We're done.
You ain't half bad, Master.
We put up quite the show.
None of the Black Servants showed up, though.
Cowards.
This should do for the day.
We're not exactly leaving empty-handed.
More importantly, what did you think of my moves?
Absolutely flawless.
I summoned a good Servant.
You bet you did.
I'm the only knight to surpass my father.
But is throwing your sword like you did in the end fair game?
Who cares? Winner takes it all!
On that, we are in agreement.
They're quite powerful.
Even if considering that Saber is one of the strongest classes, that's still alarming.
Can you beat them?
Certainly.
I've been waiting for you.
My Master ordered me to come.
Are you taking control of the faction?
Yes.
Ruler is heading towards Trifas as we speak.
She is bound to get in our way.
Eliminate her, Karna.
Understood.
