When Archer warned Shirou about his ideals very early on during the Fate route I was like "These 2 think the same way yet they can't seem to get along... Are they...?" and immediately went to the wiki to spoil myself about Archer's real name. I f*cking knew it.

    I feel like the corrupted Grail War itself is the greatest plot twist for magi society. When it's corrupted it's kind of funny because these high society magi go through an entire war, something way more than I think a typical magi is prepared for, they go through all this tribulation only to win and you find out from the beginning it was all for nothing and your wish is either not gonna happen or it's gonna be one hell of a monkey's paw. Risking death and worse all for nothing in the end.
    I've always loved Salter just because of the contrast when she's Shirou's servant constantly held back in every way possible and then she comes back corrupted and completely off the chain with how she should actually be at least in battle prowess.

    This whole thing with Diarmuid in Zero made me curious about his myth. I looked on google and I found two versions of the story:
    First one is where Fionn wanted a second wife after his first one died. He proposed to Grainne who was hailed as the most beautiful woman at the time, and she agreed. She met Diarmuid during the party and both of the fell inlove. Grainne wanted to elope with Diarmuid, and it took much convincing before he agreed. Fionn once realizing this, went in pursuit; less about his fiancé leaving him and more about Diarmuid betraying him. They went years on the run before Grainne got pregnant and they had to hide in a cave. They were apparently followed by a boar into the cave, and Diarmuid got severely wounded trying to protect his wife; but he killed the boar in the process. Fionn and his knights arrived soon after. Grainne begged Fionn to save Diarmuid. Fionn can apparently heal people by letting them drink from the palm of his hand. Fionn refused out of spite. His knight then urged him to help, but again he refused. After which Fionn's son Oisin insisted, and finally he relents. Unfortunately Diarmuid was dead at that point.
    The second one is where Fionn was feeling melancholic due to growing old, and outliving his wives. He asked his knights what he should do about it, and they told him to marry Grainne (for the same reason as the other version). He was shy about asking her due to their gap in age, so he had emissaries do it for him. Grainne thinking that the proposal was for her and Oisin , agreed. Once realizing she was actually marrying Fionn, she opted to back out. She spiked Fionn's drink, and once he's asleep, she started asking Oisin and the other knights if anyone would be willing to run away with her. Everyone refused her including Diarmuid. Probably out of desperation, she placed a geass on Diarmuid, which forced him to elope with her. Fionn similar to the other version, was mad about the betrayal and gave pursuit. Diarmund left pieces of fish as a signal to Fionn that nothing has happened between him and Grainne. But eventually after being chided by Grainne for his lack of "courage", Diarmuid gave in and stopped leaving fish. They evaded Fionn for years with the help of a god of love. Fast forward, and Diarmuid and Grainne now has 4 kids, so they decided to make amends. Fionn, more or less forgives them and accepts them back. Fast forward a bit more and Fionn issued a hunt for a boar terrorizing his lands, Diarmuid came along with his weaker short sword and spear. Unfortunately Diarmuid was under another geass, and the boar was actually a reincarnation of a kid his father accidentally killed; so Diarmuid cannot pierce its skin. After beating the boar to death with the blunt side of his weapons, Diarmuid was severely wounded. Fionn immediately went to fetch water to heal his friend, but on his way back was reminded of Diarmuid's betrayal, and the water slipped away. He tried again but the same thing happened. He succeeded at the third attempt by reminding himself of the good times they had, but Diarmuid was dead at that point.
    I'm not really sure which version Fate used, but I personally liked the second one.

    One of my favorite moments was when his teacher was calling him crap but Iskandar went all proud of him and declared his master was who he has accepted because he, unlike with Diarmud, dared to stand in the battle at his side. Even Gilgamesh grew some respect for Waver when he saw he accompanied Iskandar not as his master, but as his loyal subject.

    If I remember correctly Deen/Stay Night was my first exposure to Fate. I know people didn't like it at the time but I really enjoyed it. A part I consider a plot twist is when Gilgamesh showed up. I knew nothing of Fate at the time so I didn't expect an 8th servant to show up and was equally surprised how easily Gil dominated Shiro and Saber. If the Fate route got a remake at some point I wonder if the same thing could happen again considering how popular Fate is now?

    I love the twist of the grail being corrupted as it sustains itself on human thoughts, desires and wishes which also lends it the power to screw the rules because it responds to longings more than logic, proving that the characters with the strongest thoughts are the crazy bad ones.

    Awesome video
    I have the unpopular opinion that even Gilgamesh knew that he couldn't kill the monster Gilles summoned via clairvoyance in Fate/Zero and gave that responsibility to Saber. Afterall, Excalibur does surpass Ea at least in regards to its functionality for killing monsters or world threatening things, that's its specialty. Kind of like the whole situation with Excalibur being the only NP being able to kill Sefar. The monster Gilles summoned is highly underrated, the thing was literally a Cthulhu, if you ever studied Cthulhu, they are Outerversal even as a concept; lowly creature or not. I thought that's why Gil seemed so impressed and even praised her a bit, telling Iskandar as well.
    I could be wrong but that's what I got from it, Prelati's spellbook and all specialized in that sort of thing. Not to mention that the higher tier outer gods aren't any lower than outerversal+ in the current cosmology of the nasuverse so this one that Gilles summoned was probably lower but not lower than low outerversal. Just my hot take.

    • @thegamerfe8751

      @E0ns 8 місяців тому +2

      It was mentioned in Material that Gil is the strongest character in both FSN and Fate Zero. Logically, this is a comparison that includes all the characters at their peak, so Gil > Gilles.
      It was mentioned that one sword from GoB, which is "Gram", is equal to the power of the strongest holy sword, "Excalibur". Then we have "Merodach", which is the prototype of "Gram". According to what was mentioned in the FSN visual novel, the prototypes are stronger than the replicas. Therefore, "Merodach" is stronger than Exceller. In short, Gilgamesh was able to defeat Gilles monster easily and without even having to use Ea
      It was never mentioned that "Excliper surpass Ea", on the contrary, all sources say that Ea is stronger than the unsealed Excliper (sources such as FGO-law of creation and Fate strange fake)
      Exclibur is not the only NP capable of killing Sefar. Gil mentioned in Extella that Ea is capable of defeating Sefar in the final stage. Also, Sefar did not fight Mesopotamian gods in the first place. On the contrary, Sefar spared Gilgamesh’s father and made a contract with Mesopotamian gods.
      It was mentioned in Babylonia that aliens (such as Sefar) cannot defeat Tiamat, so Tiamat > Sefar. In LB7 hooves of the Bull of Heaven are capable of damaging ORT, so logically the bull will crush Sefar, without forgetting Alter Eresh, which is above Sefar. It was mentioned in the BB Matrix that Ishtar (in her prime) represents one of the mothers goddesses (like Tiamat) and that she even has “Potnia Theron.” Add to that the Bull of Heaven, and Ishtar will be able to deal with Sefar easily. This is without mentioning the rest of the major gods, such as Marduk...etc.
      It is mentioned in Extella material that the god Ea is the outrank of all the gods in fate and also the oldest of them all. This means that his sword (sword of rupture) is the strongest divine weapon.

      @@E0ns Nice breakdown but a lot of the references you used aren't taking into account an unsealed Excalibur such as the comparison to Merodach. They're not equal by any means when one or more seals is used and Merodach had no way of fully destroying Gilles monster because it is identical to Caliburn in power. F/SN & FGO Artoria both have seals, so it really isn't different from prototype version of Excalibur either, that whole thing has been retconned. I think the point of my comment at the time was to say that Excalibur is the strongest even over Ea vs invading threats because it scales with its niche use of defending the planet at all costs.
      Also, in LB7 it took a juiced up version of Excalibur mounted on the Storm Border to even begin to do damage to ORT. That's something Ea could never do. I will say that Ea in terms of overall destruction can probably go as far as reaching several textures in the world but not destroying the Reverse Side of the World which is still something Excalibur can never do. If you study the cosmology of the Nasuverse even without the counter-force restrictions it wouldn't be able to reach that deep. When we are discussing direct attack potency of Ea vs unsealed Excalibur, Excalibur is much stronger. Since we know Avalon is the realm of the soul and not unconsciousness like a reality marble which Ea is specialized in destroying, that's much deeper than what Ea or the Five True Magics can reach. So that statement of destroying the world seven times is really just saying the outer-most layers up to or maybe the linch-pin, Rhongomyniad but not beyond.
      Main takeaway is that because Avalon/Reverse Side of the World is the domain of the soul, it surpasses consciousness, subconsciousness, unconsciousness, it’s metaphysical and is not affected by something capable of destroying time-space, physical matter, energy and potentially even thoughts outside of awareness. Finally, Mystery can only be powered by the collective unconsciousness of The World which we know to be already metaphysical and where Jungian Archetypes reside.

      @@cmartin1409 Nope the context was referring to the unsealed Exclibur, I will quote
      Description of Gram from VN:
      "Der Ring des Nibelungen", composed later in Middle Ages Germany, is the story of a knight equal to the legend of King Arthur, and the sword Gram changes its name and appears in it as Balmung. As the "strongest demonic sword" equaling the "strongest holy sword", it even possesses the special characteristic of dragon slayer"
      We also get that "Merodach" is considered a prototype of "Gram", which makes it stronger than "Gram". I will quote
      "Children cannot defeat their parents. An imitation that deteriorates every time it is renewed cannot match the original model"
      Result:- Merodach > Gram = Unsealed Exclibur
      Gil has both "Merodach" and "Gram"
      Give me the source in which it was stated that "Merodach" cannot destroy the Gilles monster? While on the other hand, random, unknown swords from GoB were able to kill divine spirits as if they were nothing
      Ea is superior to Exclibur in all aspects, whether Mystery, power, or concept. I want to tell you that the counterforce will not work against Ea either, because in Strange Fake Enkidu drained the counterforce to block one attack from *servant* Gil.
      Ea was not present in LB7 in first place and cannot be reproduced, so I do not understand your point here. When we are discussing direct attack potency of Ea vs unsealed Excalibur, Ea is much stronger and this is what Nasu himself said
      "The most mystifying treasure among the countless relics from the King of Heroes' collection.
      The three stone tablets on the blade each symbolize heaven, earth, and the underworld... As such, it is said to represent the universe and so affects not only the bodies of those it faces, but the entire world itself.
      "It's the *strongest* and oldest Noble Phantasm man has ever laid his hands on"
      This statement is in 2019-2020 and the unsealed Exclibur was already known before this time. Notice how the NPs themselves are compared, and Ea is placed at the top of all the NPs
      Ea is not anti-reality marble but anti-world, I will quote
      *Enuma Elish*
      "It's true power is not meant to be used against one individual, but the *World itself.* Apparently it does not just produce pseudo-fissures in space-time, but it outright influences the flow of space-time and distorts space"
      Base Gil was able to destroy the mooncell reality with Ea, which is stated to be 8D-9D, much higher than the lower dimension Avalon, which is 6D. Not only that, but Mooncell is able to observe the lower dimensions as if it just a book, so Mooncell is able to create Avalon's territory in its reality.
      Just by being discovered moon cell by humans in Extra it literally downgraded The Third True Magic to a mere magecraft (called the Third Magecraft). It also can grant Sliding ability which allows parallel world hopping to anyone it wants and can even decide which world to prune or lock, just like Zelretch who is the user of the Second. It could even send BB to FGO timeline. Furthermore it utilizes the Blue Particles to reduce summoning cost of servants which might be related to the Fifth.
      One attack from Ea brought the planet close to death. So destroying the world seven times is a nightmare, so don't try to downplay this
      It was mentioned in Strange Fake that Ea is older than the *stars* and planet. Not only that, but it was also mentioned that Ea existed long before all the gods in Fate. This makes Mystery his own above Excalibur and Avalon.

    The plottwists and larger developments were honestly some of the best parts of these animes(Context being that I am an anime only who went through these titles in chronological and route-order, so Zero to Stay Night 06 to UBW. And eventually the older UBW movie as a bonus). Archer and Shirou, Shirou having avalon, the huge shifts in dynamics in Zero that move at a rapic pace...it's just pretty good.
    I eventually stopped following because of getting overly stressed over the fanbase being sorta obnoxious about certain things and it being pretty inconsistent on if I liked a bit of content from the series, but I think I should get back into it as I was a bit too emotional, probably from getting into it with scuffed expectations and binging every animated content available at the time. I think I will watch Heavens Feel sooner rather than later because it is the one thing I am still current missing mainline. Well, besides the fateroute anime I obviously can't watch because it still doesn't exist yet.(Which sucks. I know there are no new reveals in there left for me, but I would still like to watch it. Ufotable, plz.)
