Anyone who knows a little about the Einzbern family knows that this family is not good at fighting, otherwise they would not have been eliminated in the early stages of the three Holy Grail Wars.
This situation occurs mainly because of the characteristics of artificial life forms. Artificial life forms are tools designed and manufactured by humans to achieve a certain purpose. They are given a specific mission at the beginning of their birth. Their existence is to achieve this mission, and everything else is unimportant. Even if they have intelligence that is not inferior to that of humans, they will hardly think about things outside of their mission, let alone seek change.
The Einzbern family is such a family. The family's core program, the central control artificial intelligence, the father of all androids - Golem Jubstacheit, has engraved the mark of "Complete the third magic, save all mankind". Even if the magicians who engraved the mark have given up, it still persists, surviving day after day, and persisting day after day.
The essence of Jubstacheit is an automatic device that "runs forever as a price for not being able to progress". It is not only a humanoid terminal, but also used as the manager of Einzbern. However, Jubstacheit itself has no personality. In order to manage Einzbern and achieve the ultimate goal, it will create a humanoid terminal and implant "humanity" as the head of the Einzbern family. The current head of the family is the eighth generation of humanoid terminals, the artificial man Yahad who has lived for more than 200 years.
It is conceivable how mechanical and inflexible the human nature implanted by the artificial intelligence that cannot grow would be. Successive family heads also know that they and the artificial humans in their family are simpler than humans. In order to protect this factory that "saves humanity and recreates miracles", they all chose to isolate the family from the outside world without exception, and never communicate with the outside world unless necessary.
Simple-mindedness and isolation from the world have directly led to the fact that the entire Einzbern family has almost no growth in other aspects except alchemy (only the central program cannot grow, but other artificial humans still have potential).
Finally, three consecutive failures made Yahad realize what the entire magic world knew, that the Einzbern family's androids were not good at fighting. In order to change this situation and win the Fourth Holy Grail War, he chose to introduce a magician-specific weapon nine years before the Holy Grail War, and the magician killer Emiya Kiritsugu, whose hands were stained with the blood of magicians, as the son-in-law of the family.
To be fair, this is a very brilliant move. If Shinji were to become the head of Einzbern, he would make the same choice.
Then he will let them become combat instructors of the Einzbern family, teaching the androids how to fight and how to kill. Androids are not human beings, and they do not have the limits of humans. Their bodies can be strengthened to the extent comparable to those of Heroic Spirits (refer to Illya's two guards, whose panel attributes are not inferior to those of Servants). They have simple thoughts and are highly obedient to orders, making them good soldiers by nature. It takes 9 years to build a special android force, and then lead it by a magician killer like Emiya Kiritsugu. Not to mention winning by doing nothing, at least the winning rate is more than 90%.
Unfortunately, Ahad's deep-rooted inflexibility wasted this trick. He used Emiya Kiritsugu as a tool just like other androids, and only let him fight. He did not let this wave of change from the outside world affect his family. It was not until the failure of the Fourth Holy Grail War that Ahad learned from his mistakes and began to make androids for combat. However, without a suitable instructor, the IQ of these androids for combat was worrying.
From the beginning of the First Holy Grail War to the final disintegration or sealing of the Holy Grail, Einzbern did not succeed once, and Jubstacheit and Yahad should bear the main responsibility.
The only person in the entire Einzbern family who was influenced by Kiritsugu was Irisviel. Kiritsugu made her into a person, a wife, and a mother, allowing her to truly live as a human being. He combined his family's alchemy with his own will to create the combat magic "Form of Life".
However, Emiya Kiritsugu did not want the filth of the battlefield to affect his wife's purity, so he did not teach her how to fight. This directly led to Irisviel having no combat experience and being easily defeated by Kotomine Kirei.
In comparison, Justisa was much stronger. First, under the influence of the Heroic Spirit, she developed an obsession and began to think about this obsession. Then, under the conscious or unconscious influence of Shinji, she realized the weakness of the Einzbern family in that they were not good at fighting, and came up with the idea of developing combat magic similar to Irisviel.
Unlike Irisviel who had to figure things out on her own, Yustisa had by her side Scathach, a God Slayer with incomparable combat experience and full-time adaptive magic and melee combat, a time traveler with a wild imagination like Shinji, and Sakura and Kariya as sparring partners. This allowed this android, who was originally ignorant of the world and didn't know how to fight, to possess a combat power that even Kotomine Kirei didn't dare to underestimate.
After destroying the four black keys, the white rope continued to stretch forward, approaching Kotomine Kirei at a speed that was no less than that of the black keys.
Kirei's combat instinct, honed through countless battles, told him that these white ropes were many times stronger than metal wires, and he must not get entangled in them, otherwise he would die today.
This judgment is very correct. Each thread of Yustisa's gloves is not made of materials on earth, nor is it made by magic. It is a miracle above that, and is the creation of Yustisa's innate third magic. These threads have a toughness that no one can imagine, and can also add various characteristics according to the changes in magic. This is the dress made by Yustisa to match her combat magic, and it was identified by Scathach as a level B pseudo-treasure—Thousands of Knots!
The magic that manipulates "Thousands of Knots" to fight is the battle magic "Thousand Changes" performed by Justissa at Shinji's suggestion and with the help of Scathach!
"A thousand changes, twisted wire, array!"
Justisa possesses a precision weaving ability that far surpasses that of ordinary magicians. Under her manipulation, during two measures of chanting, the eight twisted threads move along eight different trajectories, making people feel dizzy and unable to defend themselves.
Kirei knew at a glance that he could not break through the twisted wire formation, so he immediately used his specialty, "Living Steps", sliding and dodging with one step, and retreated out of the twisted wire's attack range.
As a leader among agents, Kirei has fought to the death with magi countless times. He will not back down because of this small setback. His current retreat is for a better attack.
Standing outside the skein, Kirei calmly glanced at Justisa, who had an expressionless face and was even colder than himself, and once again pulled out four black keys, two in each hand - no one knew how many black keys he had hidden under his monastic robes.
The four black keys were thrown within 0.3 seconds, but this time their target was not Yustisa, but Hisashi Maiya who was lying on the ground and unable to move, and Irisviel who was standing behind Yustisa.
Kirei does not have the chivalry of a one-on-one fight. Those standing on the opposite side are all enemies. Whether Justisia saves him or not, it will only benefit him and not harm him.
If he didn't save them, Hisau Maiya and Irisviel would die, and Kirei would have two fewer enemies. Although the two enemies seemed to have lost their fighting power, no one knew when they would recover, and Kirei didn't want to leave any trouble.
If he was saved, there would be a gap in the twisted wire formation. Kirei had roughly grasped the speed of the "twisted wire" from the few dodges just now. Its extension and retraction were comparable to the black keys, but its horizontal or lateral displacement was slower. Intercepting the black keys was a horizontal displacement, and Kirei was confident that he could take advantage of this gap to get close to them and decide the outcome with one strike.
In a split second, Justisa made a choice - to save people.
Kirei also made a choice. He stomped his feet hard on the ground, and like a cheetah hunting, he crossed a distance of ten meters at an astonishing speed.
For Chinese martial arts, no matter whether it is weapons or bare-handed, no matter what school, the first lesson is to stand in horse stance. Only after you have a firm footing in horse stance can you learn other things, because the core of Chinese martial arts is to draw on the power of the earth.
Among the many martial arts schools, Bajiquan has a unique study on footsteps, and thus derived a unique stepping method - stomping.
The "stomping" of Bajiquan is also called "stomping", which is the main factor of Bajiquan's unique footwork and an important component of Bajiquan's strength. After all, the strength of the arm is limited, and stomping can coordinate the strength of the whole body to gather at one point, bursting out a force that ordinary people can hardly imagine.
Bajiquan emphasizes "movement like a stretched bow, and release like thunder." This "stretched bow" starts with "stomping feet." With his feet stomping on the ground continuously, Qi Li is now like a stretched bow, waiting to release force and make a shocking move.
The distance between them shortened rapidly, from ten meters to three meters in the blink of an eye. With just one more step, this thunderous blow would fall on Justisa.
Kirei, who had become serious, no longer planned to show mercy. Countless times of danger had taught him that showing mercy on the battlefield was tantamount to seeking death.
Kirei took a step forward, stomped his foot, stepped forward and stomped, exerting force at his heels, flowing through his waist, passing through his hands, and emanating from his fingertips.
This strike has a resounding name called "Wind-facing and Sun-facing Palm", which is one of the eight ultimate moves of Bajiquan. Qi Li has practiced boxing for more than 20 years, and the power contained in his hands is definitely worthy of the evaluation of "explosive thunder".
Kirei was confident that if this punch landed, the battle would be over.
