Can't we stop him somehow, Rider?
Do you really think he'll just walk away if we ask nicely, Sister?
My name is Atalanta. Do not call me that, Achilles.
It's just a bit of sibling bonding.
Please don't be offended.
This should be a good chance to see what the Black Faction is capable of.
Very well.
But if he uses his Noble Phantasm, we retreat immediately.
I doubt our Masters would demand us to stay.
Masters, huh? Have you seen your Master's face?
No. I've only met the Master of Semiramis.
We are connected. I get orders.
But they won't show themselves.
What a peculiar arrangement.
It's in the nature of mages to dwell in the shadows.
I wouldn't think of them as cowards.
Great! More!
It's only a matter of time until he uses his Noble Phantasm.
What's wrong?
They're coming.
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
todokanai unmei ga azawarau
and the mean fate they fail to move just sneers
hedateru sekai wo mite anata ni oitai
Stare at the world from the outside, remembering the tune
mi wo kogasu sono ai ga wakatsu made
they try to follow until the love burns them to ashes
hito wa sakenda: seigi wo
The people cried for justice
sono hata wo takaku kakage
and rose its banners high
kako no unmei tate
rejecting the destiny from the past
yami wo harai susume kono mi ushinatte mo
Keep banishing the darkness to the bitter end
osore wo hirefuse watashi ga hasha to naru
I'll be the victor who knows no fear
sei araba susume kanzen na shouri wo
Head for complete victory while your breath lasts
akatsuki tabitate yoake wa mou sugu
Wait for the dawn when the sun ends the rule of night
What a pitiful soul.
That berserker was born to fight and he will die fighting.
It's weird he can talk.
I wonder if we can convince him to join us.
Unlikely.
He only sees us as enemies.
That's a shame.
Let us now crush that fool.
You first, Rider.
Go, Astolfo.
Show them the might of Charlemagne's Paladins.
Please, this is exactly the kind of sloppy jobs that I hate.
Oh well, work's work!
Time for me to show off!
Is there a point to this struggle?
My very existence is devoid of meaning.
I must tell you that you have at most three more years to live.
Still,
I don't want to die.
This feeling of uselessness is unbearable.
Behold, oppressor!
My might will wreak havoc upon your arrogance!
Oh boy...
Let those afar off listen; those who are near can see.
I am one of Charlemagne's Paladi—
At least let me finish! I haven't had an opportunity to in so long!
If that's what you want, that's what you'll get.
Trap of Argalia!
You see, this lance returns what it strikes to its spiritual form.
Awesome, huh?
You think that's going to stop me?!
Cavalry's here.
See you later! Peace!
Rebellious Berserker of Red!
If you seek the one in power, you are facing him.
Are you the oppressor?
You shall now face my wrath!
Kazikli Bey.
Your rebellion is against the oppression of the weak by the powerful. That is noble.
I am tempted to show respect to a rebel.
I will crush you, oppressor!
Fall now, rebel.
He's yours.
Nothing more for me to do, right?
See you guys!
Rider!
Oh! My poor back!
I think I need to lie down!
Caster, I'll now severe his Path and force him into a new contract.
Assist me.
As you wish.
Celenike, Roche, help me as well.
Okay!
Fine.
Archer, are you ready to intercept?
I am.
I'll leave the other two to you, then.
I won't let it end in a draw like with Karna this time.
I'll prove my skill!
Hey-ho!
Rider? What's going on?
Now's the time! Escape o'clock!
Escape? Me?
Yeah!
Get going!
You two had me waiting.
Saber and Berserker, I presume?
Darn, I'm held in such low regard.
Sending only two to handle me?
I'm offended!
Rider is my class,
but I won't be using my chariot.
It'd be grossly disproportionate against only two of you.
I'll beat the meaning of a real hero—a real warrior—into you.
Too bad.
You're nowhere close to my level!
So you're an endurance fighter?
This is going to take a while.
If you can't laugh on the battlefield, you won't get to laugh on the Elysian fields either.
Show some good nature, considering these are your last moments.
A laugh in battle may offend the opponent.
Those who revel shall be saved.
I see you take my sister's blow seriously.
We just lost our Berserker. I guess it's only fair we return the favor.
Don't you think?
What is he doing?
Your Noble Phantasm! Use it!
You can't win without it!
What is he even thinking?
This is the time to use your Noble Phantasm!
No matter how sturdy he is, your Balmung will obliterate him!
It's the same as with Karna!
He's enjoying the fight!
No wish for the Grail?
Is the joy of battle the only thing he seeks?
I won't let that pass!
Yggdmillennia shall be victorious!
Command Spell! Siegfried, use your Noble Phantasm to defeat Rider of Red!
Your Noble Phantasm?
Very well! Show me what you're capable of!
I can't stop it!
Bal—
No!
You misunderstand!
The fight for him is just a game!
He's not fighting to win, but for pleasure!
You wasted two Command Spells on such a foolish order.
Have Saber retreat.
Archer, deal with them.
What a letdown.
A god-slaying Noble Phantasm might've even made me feel something.
Wait, Berserker!
Ignore him.
Chiron will deal with him.
Focus on Archer in the rear!
Now then...
What?!
So you attack, Berserker of Black?
For your recklessness...
...you'll pay in blood!
What?!
The other Archer?
In that case...
I see.
I will not face you today, Servant of Black.
He can predict my movements?
Atalanta retreated? Then I've got no reason to stay.
Wonderful, Archer of Black!
You are capable of killing me. Our battle is destined!
May the gods of Olympus bless our contest with glory and honor!
We shall fight again!
I look forward to seeing your face!
Fate is cruel, Achilles.
It turns even the dead against each other.
Are you okay, Chiron?
Yes.
I now know who my opponent in this Grail War is.
Let's get out!
Here you go.
Take this.
Get going!
This is all your fault, you useless Servant!
The look on Darnic's face...
What was I even supposed to do?
Masters of Yggdmillennia.
Rider is with a homunculus and is helping him escape.
The homunculus is a valuable specimen.
Bring him back alive.
What's wrong? Are you tired?
Can I really escape?
Of course!
But I'm going to die in three years anyway.
I can't make a difference in the world. I can't leave my footprint behind.
What's the point in staying alive?
Do you think you're not allowed to live?
I don't know. Anything.
You don't have to do a damn thing.
Making a difference or being loyal to someone are things you do because you want to.
All you need is the will to live!
As long as your heart beats, you ought to strive to live!
The will to live...
Yup!
Aren't you the popular one?
The three servants of Red didn't receive any orders from their Masters during the fight.
This is Yggdmillennia territory, but the Red Masters' presence is too faint.
Infighting?
Now then, why don't we take a small break and—
Saber!
Found you!
Darn it.
Why am I running petty errands now?
Hey, run.
Saber, you handle Rider.
What are you doing? Get out of here!
Rider!
Just leave!
If you want to live, don't hesitate!
Go! Go! Go!
What a drag!
I don't understand.
Why does Caster care about a failure who can barely even walk?
N-No!
A homunculus I made shows self-awareness to the point of attempting to preserve its own life?
I...
I... I want to live!
So I...
Strasse Gehen!
Transmute! Arms of Steel!
How dare you?!
Stand aside, you idiot!
I want to help him!
Why? Did he ask you to?
No! I want to help him out of my own volition!
Do Servants need a reason to help people?
Do you want me to forget the mercy, the pride I held in my lifetime?
I'm Astolfo, a Paladin of Charlemagne!
I won't let him fall! I swore not to!
My wish...
Something is wrong with this Holy Grail War.
Something is different on a fundamental level.
Hey, you!
Wake up! Are you okay?!
Hey! Answer me!
Master.
H-He was trying to kill me!
Had I not transmuted my arms, I would've died!
I wasn't out of line! My hand was forced!
Sir Siegfried, please deal with the thieves who live in the mountains!
Please, Siegfried!
I'm so sorry. I was late.
It's my fault!
Master, could you heal that homunculus?
Sorry! Sorry!
I want to help him.
Are you out of your goddamn mind?
You useless familiar!
I didn't ask for your opinion!
Shut up and obey my ord—
So you are unwilling to help?
I told you to shu—
What are you doing?
Saber of Black.
Ruler?
I lost my way.
I almost let someone die in front of me again.
I gave up thinking for myself and let others make decisions.
What happened here?
I might be forcing a sad fate onto you.
But there is still something I must give you.
Stop!
No! You mustn't!
Saber?
He's sacrificing himself?
But what's going to happen to you?
One life for another.
It is only fair.
Don't you think?
But...
Why do such a thing?
I wanted to see to my wish fulfilled instead of granting them for once.
Abhorrent and greedy as it may be,
I could not reject this yearning.
Just one time, I wanted to help someone of my own free will.
I wanted to know this pride.
Even unasked for, even if unwanted,
I just wanted to, for my own sake.
Ruler, all I ask of you
is to make that boy free.
I...
Please.
I swear to do all in my power.
Rider, apologize to my Master for me.
Tell him I was unworthy of him.
That's not true!
Absolutely, definitely not!
Don't go!
Please!
I have no regrets. Thank you.
Farewell, Siegfried.
Never before have I seen a hero as kind as you.
What's wrong?
Wh-What happened?
He's alive! His heart beats!
Thank goodness!
He made it!
What happened to me?
Are you all right?
How am I alive?
A kind hero gave his life for you.
I am Servant Ruler.
My true name is Jeanne d'Arc.
By my oath, I shall protect your life, your soul.
