"Everyone is so miserable. It feels like there isn't a single decent character in the whole movie with a good ending."
"Director, are you still human? This is too much!"
"Ahh, why are you treating my wife like this!?"
"Who are you sending it to?!"
"Yeah! Who are you sending it to? Saber is obviously my wife!"
"You guys are taking this too far..."
"… "
Along with the complaints from the audience, the scenes in the movie also developed again.
After the battle between the two knights ended, the perspective returned to Emiya Kiritsugu and Kotomine Kirei.
The battle between the two has now reached an extremely intense level. Both sides have fought to the death. Kiritsugu Emiya even used the four times speed of his inherent time control, surpassing the limit of the human body.
Just as the battle between the two sides was about to be decided, suddenly, countless black substances flowed down from the upstairs.
At this moment of life and death, the black mud falling from above poured onto the bodies of the two men.
Chapter 300: The final chapter of "Fate Zero" is released! (19)
Chapter 300
When the audience saw the world washed by black mud in the movie, they were all stunned.
Just as they began to think about what had happened, the screen lit up again and Kiritsugu Emiya appeared.
At this moment, he was standing on a beach, with the endless starry sky on all sides, but under this starry sky, there was a dark rain falling.
"I knew you would come. I believe you can get here."
Suddenly, a voice sounded behind me.
Looking back suddenly, Emiya Kiritsugu found that his wife was standing next to him, leaning against him with a gentle and loving smile.
"Eri? Where is this place?!"
"Here is where your wish comes true, the interior of the Holy Grail you have been seeking."
Hearing this, Emiya Kiritsugu was speechless. He looked around and found that there was dark mud everywhere, like a pulsating ocean.
At the same time, high in the sky, a pitch-black sun slowly emerged, supporting the sky.
"You said this... is the Holy Grail?"
"That is the Holy Grail. Although it has not yet taken shape, the entire container is full. All you have to do now is make a wish."
“Who are you? If the Holy Grail is already prepared, Irisviel should no longer exist. Then who are you?”
"I'm Irisviel."
"That's impossible, answer quickly!"
"You are right. I do not deny that this is a false mask. If I do not use an existing personality as a shell, I will not be able to communicate with others. However, I inherited Irisviel's last wish because my mission is to realize such a wish."
"Are you the will of the Holy Grail?"
"Your explanation is not wrong."
"How is this possible? How can the Holy Grail have a will?"
"That may have been true in the past, but it is different now. I have a will and a wish, and my will is to be born into this world."
"Then let me ask you, how does the Holy Grail intend to fulfill my wish?"
“Kiritsugu, you should know this better than anyone else, right?”
"What did you say?"
"You should have known how to save the world a long time ago, so I will follow your previous practices, accept your ideas, and realize your wishes."
"What are you—saying?"
"There is no other way. In this case, I can only ask you to ask your own heart."
As soon as he finished speaking, Emiya Kiritsugu suddenly found himself in a hotel room.
At the same time, a strange voice slowly sounded.
"There are two ships on the sea, one with three hundred people on board and the other with two hundred on board, for a total of five hundred passengers, in addition to Emiya Kiritsugu. Let's assume that these five hundred and one people are the last survivors of humanity."
"Two ships have a hole in their bottoms that cannot be repaired. Only Emiya Kiritsugu knows how to repair the ships. But when you repair one ship, the other will sink. Which ship will you repair?"
Hearing this question, Emiya Kiritsugu answered without hesitation:
"Of course it's a ship with three hundred people."
"But once you decide to do this, the two hundred people on the other ship will grab you and ask you to fix our ship first. What should you do?"
"this… "
Before Kiritsugu Emiya had time to think, a familiar submachine gun suddenly appeared in his hand, and flames suddenly spurted out of the muzzle, killing all two hundred people in an instant.
"The correct answer is Emiya Kiritsugu."
The next moment, the voice rang out again.
"Next, the 300 survivors abandon the damaged ship and board two new ships to continue sailing. This time, there are 200 people on one ship and 100 people on the other. However, a large hole is broken in the bottom of the two ships at the same time. The 100 people on the small boat kidnap you and force you to repair their ship first. What should I do?"
"This kind of thing... but..."
In just a moment, Emiya Kiritsugu watched a ship explode in front of him.
“Correct answer.”
"Nonsense... This is sheer nonsense. Killing the majority for the sake of the minority, the scales are already tipped the other way."
"No, there is no mistake in the calculation. You did choose to sacrifice the minority in order to save the majority. This is your truth and your wish."
As the words fell, the same thing happened over and over again.
One hundred and twenty people and eighty people were placed on the scale, and Kiritsugu slaughtered the eighty people.
Next came the eighty and forty people. Emiya Kiritsugu heard with his own ears the screams of the forty people before they died. Every face seemed familiar. They were the people he had killed in the past.
that's all-
Fifty and thirty.
Thirty and twenty.
…
"Is this... what you wanted me to see?"
"Yes, this is your truth, the answer in Emiya Kiritsugu's heart, and it is also what the Holy Grail, the wish-granting machine, should do."
"That's not what I expected! I was hoping for another way... That's why I thought I could only rely on a miracle..."
"Of course, your wish cannot include methods that you don't know about. If you want to save the world, you can only use the methods you know to achieve it."
"Nonsense! This... How can this be called a miracle!?"
"Of course this is a miracle. What you hoped for but could never accomplish alone will be accomplished on a scale that is beyond human power. If this is not a miracle, then what is it?"
The sound of the Holy Grail was like a nightmare, hitting Kiritsugu Emiya hard and leaving all the audience who saw this scene stunned.
Until this moment, everyone has realized the terrible truth behind the Holy Grail, the universal wish-granting machine.
…
"This is the Holy Grail? This is Emiya Kiritsugu's wish. Isn't this too much of a lie?"
"These questions are not reasonable in themselves. To restrict the conditions so harshly is simply to deliberately mislead!"
"But you can't say that this is okay. If the conditions are really similar, there is nothing wrong with killing fewer and saving more."
"But this is not a reason to kill. If that's the case, then wouldn't Kiritsugu Emiya's previous act of killing Natalia be correct?"
"But that's correct..."
"… "
All of a sudden, heated discussions broke out in the cinema.
Faced with this extremely intense trolley problem, no one can give the most pertinent answer and can only let the discussion become more intense.
After all, everyone is qualified to discuss this issue, but no one can give the most correct answer.
Chapter 301: The final chapter of "Fate Zero" is released! (Twenty)
Chapter 301
After watching the content of "Fate Zero", the audience in the cinema were led astray by the outrageous logic of the Holy Grail and were completely unable to discuss the essence of the issue.
In contrast, King Hubbard, who was sitting in the back seat, said calmly after seeing all this:
"It is incorrect to weigh the lives of people purely in terms of numbers. After all, the value of people is different. A magician is more valuable than an ordinary person, and a general who has experienced many battles is more valuable than an ordinary soldier who has just joined the army for a few years. If the development of civilization really requires such extremely harsh conditions, then the final choice will often be based on multiple factors."
"Of course, the best way to solve this problem is to avoid it. After all, people cannot remain absolutely rational. No matter what choice they make, as long as they make it, mistakes will inevitably occur, and wrong behavior will inevitably bring hatred. In the end, they will only fall into endless internal friction and cannot see any future."
"… "
General Wilhelm nodded in agreement with King Hubbard's remarks.
And in fact, as a general, he actually had a much clearer understanding of this issue than his opponent. After all, on the battlefield, he had experienced countless times the situation of sacrificing a few people in exchange for the chance of victory.
The key to this issue is that all the victims must be voluntary and their actions must be praised by the survivors.
Otherwise, meaningless sacrifice will only bring meaningless value, and meaningless value will turn into clustered chaos, eventually leading to the demoralization of the army and panic among the people.
Valuable sacrifices will bring cohesion and give strength to a nation or a country. On the contrary, meaningless sacrifices will only produce meaningless chaos and internal friction, and will not be able to unite into a force.
Of course, this was the conclusion he came to as a general, and the soldiers under his command were well-trained and well-prepared.
If all the victims are just ordinary people and no one is willing to step forward and sacrifice themselves, then those who make decisions must be careful and cautious, and try to be absolutely fair, just and rational as much as possible.
Otherwise, speculators will become the fuse that detonates order. Once order is gone, I am afraid that the only way to end all the chaos is a massacre.
In fact, if the conditions were set strictly, General Wilhelm would not mind Emiya Kiritsugu's behavior of killing a few and saving the many.
"I wonder what Wycliffe would say after seeing this."
Wilhelm couldn't help but smile bitterly as he recalled the Imperial Knight Commander who had to stay at the border because the dispute between the western empire and the orc kingdom had become increasingly serious in recent days.
After all, he knew very well that if it were the other party, he would probably make the choice of killing the few and saving the many without hesitation at the first moment, and without the slightest hesitation.
In terms of behavior alone, the other party is not the slightest bit different from Kiritsugu Emiya in the movie.
Although this behavior is somewhat extreme, on the battlefield, it is often the quality that the best commander should have. General Wilhelm promoted him to his current position precisely because he valued this aspect of his.
"After all, it's better to have no war."
General Wilhelm muttered to himself with a wry smile on his face.
After all, he knew very well that based on the actions of the Orc Kingdom in the past period of time, there would inevitably be a world-shaking war between the two superpowers within a few years!
Without external intervention, this war will be unavoidable anyway!
…
Amid people's discussions, the plot of the movie continues.
After that, Kiritsugu Emiya killed more and more people, including not only his familiar father Emiya Norinaka, but also his master Natalia.
"You... came to this world... intending... intending to do these things to all mankind? You say this is the realization of my ideal!?"
In response to Emiya Kiritsugu's roar, the Holy Grail calmly replied:
"Of course. Your wish is the most suitable form for the Holy Grail, Emiya Kiritsugu. You are the one who is most qualified to shoulder all the evil in this world."
After the Holy Grail's words fell, Emiya Kiritsugu killed his assistant, Hisau Maiya.
In the end, there were only two people left alive in this huge world.
What he got after sacrificing everything was a daughter and a wife laughing happily in a warm room with a gentle atmosphere that he missed.
"Welcome home, Kiritsugu, you're finally back!"
Illya smiled happily and hung her two little hands around her father's neck.
