Heaven's Feel Final Chapter: All Good in This Life
We start from here.
>Wait for my chance...!
TRUST
IN
RIDER
Rider had a plan of her own!
It only needed to stop you for a moment, Saber!
The clash continues as normal!
As before, I summon the ultimate shield!
As before, Rider and Saber collide and nearly destroy each other!
As before, I make a choice.
One projection.
This time, I only used one projection.
The story continues unchanged after that.
Avenger still must be destroyed.
But there's someone else here.
Kotomine.
We're the same.
Two men on the brink of death.
As was his goal since the very beginning, Kotomine will now bless the birth of Angra Manyu into this world.
It isn't possible for either of us to back down, no matter the cost.
What is Evil? What is Good?
It doesn't matter anymore.
Shirou only takes pleasure in bringing happiness to others.
Kotomine only takes pleasure in bringing suffering.
Absolute opposites, and yet so similar.
No Servants.
No magic.
Fists only.
Final Destination.
[ BGM -
Emiya]
Even on the verge of death, Kotomine fights like a demon!
It's the same martial arts that Kuzuki and Tohsaka use.
But where Kotomine has skill and speed...
I have a body that is turning into pure sword.
Meanwhile!
GUESS WHO'S STILL ALIVE.
In a manner of speaking.
For the moment.
Everything he's ever worked for has amounted to nothing.
And he was so close, too.
But there's one more person here.
Ilyasviel von Einzbern.
"I as of you, my foe. Why do you not want to die?"
Once upon a time, Zouken sought a perfect world that humans couldn't reach.
As the world falls apart around him, Zouken finally accepts his own defeat.
Meanwhile, I get the shit kicked out of me by Kotomine.
My face hasn't turned into swords yet.
Nasu is the best writer in the world.
Archer's arm keeps repairing my body at the cost of my mind.
A devastating blow.
I can't get up.
What did you swear, Shirou?
Who did you swear to protect?
What did you lose in exchange?
STAND UP
SHIROU EMIYA
I'll protect her from everything.
Even from herself.
FUCK YOU AVENGER
GET THE HELL OUT OF MY WAY
THERE'S NO WAY I'D COME THIS FAR
JUST TO LOSE TO YOU
In the end, the difference is simple.
My will to survive was stronger.
The last obstacle is gone.
Now to deal with that monster.
Trace, on.
But...
...is that the only way?
I can't think of any alternative.
But there must be something...
"No, you won't die, Shirou. Because I'm the one that's going to shut the gate."
I can't see.
I can't remember the young girl's name.
It's just like she said.
There's no way to save both of them and still save myself.
"Goodbye. We weren't related by blood, but I'm glad we were siblings."
Her name
is Ilya.
I'm dying.
But there's just enough mana left in Rin's pendant...
Two years later
We've changed narrators, one last time.
After a long time in London,
Tohsaka's coming home.
Fuyuki is the kind of town that stays the same the more it changes.
She's preparing to meet a certain couple.
Ah, yes, here we are.
Okay this is a little different.
Rin keeps checking Rider out on the way down the hall.
Tohsaka and the Rocket Tiger chat about nonsense!
Nasu ships it so hard.
And there she is!
More talk about nothing.
Where the hell is that doofus, anyway?
Sakura's been getting better, but it's a slow thing.
As for Rin, well... let's go back two years.
Setting aside the reasons behind it, the Magic Association was pretty pissed that we let that miracle go.
Also a whole ton of Magic Politics!
Tohsaka didn't get executed, everyone lived happily every after except for the dead people.
And officially speaking, Shirou no longer exists.
HOLY CHRIST why do you look so scary from the front
At least he's still an awkward doofus at heart.
GET YOUR ASS INTO THE KITCHEN, EMIYA
Ever see Fullmetal Alchemist?
Thanks to Ilya's miracle, Shirou's like Al, but with a more humanlike proxy body.
AND HE STILL DIES WHEN HE IS KILLED.
To interpret:
We are pretty fucking badass.
Of course, Rin's mind goes here first.
But before she goes to the kitchen to help with the food antics, there's one thing left to check...
Yep.
Her little sister's all grown up.
One chapter complete in all their lives.
And the rest of their lives waiting for them.
SO.
We have finally achieved the true end of Fate/Stay Night.
There is no more story.
We're done.
So this neverending LP entry is over, right?
FUCK
NO
NOT EVEN CLOSE, BABY
TO THE TITLE SCREEN WITH US
The title screen is different now that we've won!
TO THE ENDINGS LIST
THE TRUE FINAL SCENE AWAITS
Congratulations!
Welcome to the Tiger Dojo Special that rewards you for clearing the long story of Fate and completing the Tiger Stamps!
I have nothing to say if you've played the game to this degree. Yes, you can go anywhere, sir!
Yeah, we can finally say goodbye to mouse-clicking hell.
Well, we're on our incentive trip and are at Einzbern's secret hot spring, the Valhalla Hot Spring. How do you like the hot spring, Taiga?
It's great. It's really relaxing. I feel like I'll go to heaven if I relax a little too much.
Right? The benefits of this hot spring include relieving fatigue and sending souls to heaven. You won't be able to come back if you drop your guard.
Huh...?! I think I saw a butter field...!
That was close. I shouldn't sleep in the bath.
Well this is the grand finale of the Tiger Dojo. We will now hold a review meeting to wrap up Fate.
Hey, it's boring to be scolded until the very end. We're at a hot spring, so let's just stick to talking about what happened.
Huh?! I'm being expostulated by an underage loli-girl?
But you're right. The hot spring feels good. Review meetings are what lions do.
Yeah, I contemplate my actions. Let's look back at what's happened without thinking about anything.
So, what was your favorite part of the main story?
Me? Hmm, I'll say the part where I got killed in Rin's route. There wasn't a CG there, but they added one later on.
Oh, the one where you get your heart ripped out? Yeah, my heart skipped on that scene.
Why don't you just die like that? I'm talking about the CG of me and Berserker.
By the way, the one you're talking about is a mysterious CG that was the top candidate to be dumped, but was completed and inserted before everyone realized it.
I-I see. That's weird. So they kept such a nasty CG and dumped the one where I transform using the God of Babyonia's power to fight one-on-one against Angra Manyu?
Hey, Taiga. It doesn't matter, but it's Jaguar Man that transforms using the God of Babylonia's power. It's not tiger.
What?! No way! But that tiger with the mantle has these really cute whiskers!
If having whiskers makes you a tiger, even Mobi** Suits will be tigers.
Shock! It's as shocking as finding out oshiruko and zenzai are two different kinds of food!
Sigh... I've been wondering, but why are you concerned about tigers? You don't like being called Tiger, but the clothes you wear have tiger patterns. Do you like them or not?
Hm. I love them and detest them at the same time.
...Well, okay. People have their tastes, so I won't pursue the question. So, what part of the main story is your favorite?
Hmm. I like the opening movie. Especially the part where Fujimura Taiga shows up.
I guess it was stupid of me to ask. We won't make any progress like this, so let's go in order.
We'll start out with the first part, Saber route. It's a route that represents the game Fate, just like the route name "Fate" indicates.
I have no complaing about this route because I have a big part and Taiga comes out in the ending.
Yeah. I was one of the main heroines back then. Time sure is cruel. Fufufu. I should kill the guy who wrote the story.
Okay, don't feel sorry for yourself. The purpose of Saber's route is to give the details of the Holy Grail War with the main focus on Saber.
It's a standard story intended for beginner Masters.
You were one of the bosses, too. Shirou had to part with Saber-chan, but this should make him stronger...
...Wait. Does that mean there's a big danger of Shirou becoming Archer-san in this route?
That would depend on how Shirou lives. Well, I think that's a pretty small possibility. I'm by his side, after all.
I see. I'm relieved to know that Shirou will head down the path of evil with this small devil.
Oh, wait a minute. You can live that long, Ilya-chan?!
That's a secret. Well, everyone eventually dies, so don't worry about it.
So, next is Rin route, "Unlimited Blade Works"...
It follows many perspectives, and the story is more oriented towards the Servants.
And quite frankly...
We had no part in the story. Ilya-chan exited the stage midway, and I was treated without much consideration.
Guwa! The truth pierces my heart!
But Tohsaka-san's pretty unimportant, even though she's the main heroine. I think Archer took all the great moments.
That can't be helped. As the title "Unlimited Blade Works" indicates, Rin's route is a story about Shirou.
"Fate" and "Unlimited Blade Works" are two sides of one story. Shirou is the protagonist of this game, so the game has to be about Shirou.
He's a pretty warped person, after all.
I see. So the first two routes completely covered all the themes.
Yup. So th is is the front side of Fate. The story you get if you do everything you can as a Master.
Next is Sakura's route, the back side of Fate. It's the deadly struggle chapter, where you fight through from the beginning to the end of the Holy Grail War!
Deadly struggle chapter, huh? You die the most in Sakura-chan's route, after all.
I can't laugh at how the shortest route ended up being the longest. There would've been a route for me and Ilya-chan if this one had been shorter.
Your route didn't exist from the plot stage.
Well, Sakura-chan's route was full of quick twists and turns, but what do you think, Ilya-chan? Can you call it a grand finale?
Of course you can. Something ridiculous like the Great Holy Grail was destroyed, and everyone's alive except me and Saber. You can't ask for more.
Oh. But I guess there was a plan to have a ridiculous ending where Sakura-chan, Rider-san, and Saber-chan are alive.
.........Um, is that heaven?
It's more like hell than heaven.
Well, life's fun because you can't have it your way. It's just right when some people are missing.
Wow, your words are filled with dignity. As expected from a character that's both a younger sister and an older sister.
So, would you say Shirou is your younger brother or your older brother?
That's a secret! As I have both attributes, Shirou also has both!
Oh, I understand. But it's interesting and sad at the same time, considering that he might end up like Archer-san if he matures in the wrong way.
Well, it'll depend on how he grows up, so let's leave it to Rin and Sakura.
I said it before, but Fate is Shirou's story. The question of how Shirou should exist is presented in Saber and Rin's routes. One of the answers is Sakura's route, "Heaven's Feel".
We don't even need to say what the answer was. He lost many things, but he'll be accumulating new things from now on.
Yup. That's why this is a grand finale. Everyone's going to be as happy as they can get.
Oh, you're such a good girl. We don't learn how good you are until after you're dead. You really are like an evil heroine.
Heh. That's my role from the beginning. I have no regrets.
The rest is a battle for the remaining people. I'm just going to enjoy my hot spring and look down at the earth.
I see. Then let's wrap this up nicely with a smile, pupil number one!
Osu, all right, master!
All right! This is the end of Fate/Stay Night! Thanks for not getting discouraged from the long playing time and fighting through the whole game!
Yeah, thanks for playing the game. We took part after every dead end, but our duties are over now.
This is the real farewell, but let's meet again in the main story!
Goodbye! Don't die again!
Goodbye!
THE END
Ilya
Yeah. I said I'll watch over the earth from here.
Taiga
.........C-C-Could this hot spring be...
Ilya
Um...... Heaven?

It's not ending nicely at all!!
