The anime reached its climax with the final battle, where Artoria faced off against Lancelot. Even in his madness, Lancelot requested Artoria to end him. In this battle, Artoria discovered her true feelings. Meanwhile, Gilgamesh unleashed the Gate of Babylon, splitting the sky with his sword, and his treasures destroyed Iskandar's final trump card. Ultimately, he fell to Gilgamesh's relentless assault.
With this scene, it was clear to everyone present that the outcome of the Holy Grail War was sealed. Between Saber and Gilgamesh, only one could emerge victorious.
"Phew, even the Great Emperor couldn't defeat that golden guy," Kayneth thought, feeling a sense of relief. Despite controlling the Great Emperor, he knew he couldn't defeat such a formidable opponent.
"Does Gilgamesh still have such a trump card? How can I... how can I defeat him?" Iskandar pondered his next move, but no matter what strategy he considered, the inevitable conclusion remained: defeat.
On another note, Artoria scanned the surroundings, "Strange, Alexander, didn't Mr. Lancelot appear in your anime? But I didn't see him."
"Well... because I intervened, I saved little Sakura and then dismantled the Matou family, so... I don't know what happened to Matou Kariya."
"Has that poor child been saved? Alexander, you are truly a good person." Artoria's gentle smile reflected her easier acceptance of Alexander's kindness compared to Emiya Kiritsugu's sense of justice.
However, Alexander had a different perspective, "Don't play the 'good person' card on me. The way you look at me makes me uncomfortable." Alexander shook his head, feeling uneasy with the term 'good person' applied to him.
As the scenes unfolded, Emiya Kiritsugu successfully reached the Holy Grail. Everyone eagerly awaited to see the Holy Grail, but their expectations were shattered.
"What is this dark entity!?"
"Is this the Holy Grail? How is this possible?!"
Onscreen, Emiya Kiritsugu began to make a wish for world peace, a noble aspiration. However, the Holy Grail's response was unexpectedly simple.
The Grail interpreted this wish in a twisted way. Instead of creating a utopia, the Holy Grail interpreted Kiritsugu's wish as a desire to eliminate all conflict and suffering by erasing humanity, as humanity's existence was seen as the root cause of suffering. This led to the Grail's plan to eradicate humanity, which Kiritsugu ultimately rejected by using his command spell on Saber to destroy the Grail.
After Emiya Kiritsugu destroyed the Holy Grail, the black mud from the Grail spread across the area. Gilgamesh, who had been absorbed by the Grail, managed to retain his consciousness and materialize in the real world. Kiritsugu, having lost everything, found solace in rescuing a surviving child from the rubble, which symbolized his last chance at a normal life.
When the picture came here, everyone was silent. Especially Kiritsugu, with his incomparably tenacious personality, he is completely crazy at this moment, he can't imagine that his only hope is such an existence that can destroy everything!
Waver: "The Holy Grail…is that muddy thing? If that's the case, why do we still want to grab the Holy Grail? Wouldn't it be better to just destroy it?"
"Stupid." Hearing Waver's words, Kayneth couldn't help but look at him, "Do you believe this video that says the Holy Grail is such a disgusting thing?"
Waver: "However, you just said that these animations are the real future!"
Kayneth "Even if they are all true, but what if the other party only lied?"
Diarmuid "Master, you mean…"
Kayneth's meaning is very simple, all of this is true, but only the final ending is false, this Alexander used his ability to predict the future to forcefully act out a play, using countless truths to convince everyone, and then let them give up the Holy Grail with a lie that no one knows, so that he can win the Holy Grail War without fighting!
Iskandar: "Oh? I don't think so." As expected of Alexander the Great, his vision is still very accurate. "The Holy Grail is indeed not a good thing, but one thing is true, it can indeed fulfil people's wishes, and can give a heroic spirit a physical body!"
Iskandar is different from Emiya Kiritsugu, he doesn't want such a great desire to save the world, he just wants a body, Gilgamesh can get it, why can't he, is he not as good as Gilgamesh? He is not convinced! Moreover, he wants an ordinary human body, no matter how badly you deal with it, can you still destroy the world? So obviously, the enthusiasm of Iskandar has not been dampened at all.
"That's right, anyway, I'm not going to use the Holy Grail to make a wish, as long as I can get the Holy Grail to let the entire Clock Tower recognize our Al-Meloy family, it's just a symbol, so it's fine if I don't make a wish?" Kayneth obviously thought of his own family, and even now, Kayneth has begun to think about what kind of uproar he will cause in the clock tower with his thesis on the magic of the world's devil after he obtained the Holy Grail!
As for Waver, like Kayneth, he is just trying to prove himself, so at this moment, the only man here who wants to make a wish with the Holy Grail, that is, Emiya Kiritsugu, what is he thinking?
Does he believe it? Or does he not believe it?
Will he still snatch the Holy Grail?
