Weapon Menu

Azoth Sword

[v] Fate/stay night - Weapon Menu: Azoth Sword [T]Translations by Mirror Moon.

Azoth Sword Rin An item of ceremonial magical equipment that Rin treasures. This object is not a weapon as it amplifies the magical energy of the owner, and it is instead used as a staff to support and amplify magic usage. It is a popular item in the Magic Association, and a common commemorative gift given by masters and parents when entering adulthood. The original is said to be a dagger favored by the man who established the foundations of present day alchemy.

Black Key

[v] Fate/stay night - Weapon Menu: Black Key [T]Translations by Mirror Moon.

Black Key Kotomine Kirei One of the charms to repel devils used by the Holy Church. It is a symbolic tool for the Agents, but not many favor using it as it is difficult to handle and has weak physical attack power. Its effectiveness as a sword is low, and due to its length, it is used exclusively as a throwing weapon. Most of the things they classify as "evil" are phenomena and ghosts, so the Black Key used to fight them emphasizes the ability to intervene spiritually, rather than physical attack power. The blades of the Black Key used by experts or chosen Agents are made from magical energy, and only the hilt is actually carried around. There are Agents that hide hundreds of Black Keys under their robes.

Dainsleif

[v] Fate/stay night - Weapon Menu: Dainsleif [T]Translations by Mirror Moon.

Dainsleif ???? A demonic sword from the Nibelungen. A cursed Noble Phantasm that brings ruin to its possessor. It is a demonic sword handed down the family that killed the Northern European hero Sigurd, and it is a Noble Phantasm possessed by the dragon Fafnir. It has a strong curse of "revenge", but it also guides its possessors to ruin. Demonic swords and holy swords contain both glory and destruction, but this Noble Phantasm only brings ruin to its possessor.

Durandal

[v] Fate/stay night - Weapon Menu: Durandal [T]Translations by Mirror Moon.
Durandal ???? A holy sword favored by Roland, the paladin of Middle Age Europe. The king Charlemagne was granted the sword by an angel, and awarded it to Roland, the honored leader of the twelve knights. It holds three miracles and does not lose its sharpness even when its possessor's magical energy is depleted. Like Caliburn, it is a symbol of power splendidly made.

Gem Sword Zelretch

[v] Fate/stay night - Weapon Menu: Gem Sword Zelretch [T]Translations by Mirror Moon.

Gem Sword Zelretch Rin A limited magic item that possesses the abilities of the sorcery. While it cannot open doors to parallel worlds, it allows a degree of intervention through looking between them, and it even allows for sharing of magical energy present in the air. The gem part of the name comes from the kaleidoscopic appearance of its polyhedral structure. There's no need to explain why Kaleidoscope is Zelretch's nickname.

Gram

[v] Fate/stay night - Weapon Menu: Gram [T]Translations by Mirror Moon.

Gram ???? Demonic Sword, Sword of the Sun, Gram. A demonic sword of ruin and glory that Sigurd, the greatest hero of Northern Europe, possessed in the Volsunga Saga. It is the model of Caliburn in the legend of King Arthur. As Caliburn was a chosen sword in a stone, Gram was also a chosen sword in the mighty tree of the Volsunga king. The legend of Gram and its possessor Sigurd is a story filled with glory and ruin, as one would expect from a great hero. "Der Ring des Nibelungen", composed later in Middle Ages Germany, is the story of a knight equal to the legend of King Artnur, 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".

Harpe

[v] Fate/stay night - Weapon Menu: Harpe [T]Translations by Mirror Moon.

Harpe ???? A monster-killing holy sword used by Perseus, the famous hero in Greek mythology. Harpe itself is not an outstanding sword, but as its greatest characteristic it possesses the ability of "refraction of prolonged life". This is a divine skill that nullifies the special abilities of immortals, and it is said that wounds made by Harpe cannot be healed. (Treatment in accordance with the laws of nature is still possible.) It was used to kill the youngest of the three immortal sisters, Medusa.

Houtengeki

[v] Fate/stay night - Weapon Menu: Houtengeki [T]Translations by Mirror Moon.

Houtengeki ???? This is a one of a kind halberd, a weapon passed down in Chinese culture. A halberd is a polearm used to thrust and strike, and has many usages. Although it was a weapon that could be used by anyone, it died out as time passed, until it was revived in the Sung period as the Houtengeki. It has many uses, such as thrusting, swiping, pulling and parrying, but on the other hand, it is said that a great deal of skill is needed to handle this weapon. The crescent moon-shaped blade is called the crescent blade, and we call weapons with only one of these blades Seiryugeki. Out of many halberds, only this halberd was promoted to the rank of "Noble Phantasm", probably because it was used by a famous military commander.

Vajra

[v] Fate/stay night - Weapon Menu: Vajra [T]Translations by Mirror Moon.

Vajra ???? One of the divine symbols of Indra, God of lightning, from ancient Egyptian mythology. Indra was originally a phenomenon introduced by the Aryans, and Vajra was officially called Vijya. But when he was renamed to Taishakuten as the age turned to Buddhism, his divine symbol also changed its name. It is a single-shot Noble Phantasm, and its damage is about B+. It is a simple weapon that does fixed damage regardless of the possessor's magical energy. Also, Vajra is a weapon that Buddhist Gods possess.

[v] Fate/stay night [Unlimited Blade Works] Animation Material I - Kinoko and Takashi Q & A, p.040 [T]Translations by T.Roy Q: If you were summoned as a Servant, what class do you think you would be appointed to?

Tiếng Việt Tiếng Nhật Q: If you were summoned as a Servant, what class do you think you would be appointed to? <AhoNoN> Nasu Kinoko: I would be the 14th fallen angel (Assassin) who came down to the corrupt golden age known as Millennium. Takeuchi Takashi: At my age, there wouldn't even be a place for me. Nasu: Guess we can't help that, can we. Why don't we make you a Lancer called "president" who fights against the dystopic, controlled society? Takeuchi: How am I the president yet just a Lancer! Nasu: That's exactly why, you're always on the frontlines. And death will come easy so you just have to be careful. 御自分がサーヴァントとして召喚されるとしたらどのクラスに割り当てられると思われます か？ ＜AhoNoN＞ 奈須きのこ（以下「奈」）：ミレニアムという退廃黄金期に舞い降りた１４番目の堕天使アサシン。 武内崇（以下「武」）：俺もうおじさんだから、そういうノリはちよつと。 奈：仕方ないなあ。じゃあ、記号管理社会モエ・デイス卜ピアにあらがい続ける社長という名の筆兵士ランサー。 武：社長なのに兵士なんだ！ 奈：そりゃそうだよ、いつも前線にいるんだから。死ぬ時はあっさり死ぬから気をつけるがよろし。

[v] Fate/stay night [Unlimited Blade Works] Animation Material I - Kinoko and Takashi Q & A, p.040 [T]Translations by T.Roy Q: Do you have motifs for the Command Seal designs?

Tiếng Việt Tiếng Nhật Q: Do you have motifs for the Command Seal designs? <Shido Kei> Nasu: We're straining to make something that matches the characters' inner characteristics. Takeuchi: With few exceptions, our basic rule of thumb is to have something that symbolizes the traits of the magecraft of the Masters. Shirou's is a sharp sword. Rin's has a circle in the center to depict harmony, which is also the first image we had thought of. 令呪のデザインのモチ—フとかはあったりするんですか？ ＜祠堂景＞ 奈：だいたいキャラクターの内面イメージからカタチを絞り込んでいます。 武：例外もありますが、魔術師マスターの魔術特性が記号化されている、というのが基本ルールです。士郎は銳利な形で剣。凛は円を中心に置いた調和の形、というのが一番はじめのイメージでした。

[v] Fate/stay night [Unlimited Blade Works] Animation Material I - Kinoko and Takashi Q & A, p.040 [T]Translations by T.Roy Q: This question is for Mr. Kinoko and Takashi: Out of all the Fate characters, who would you want as a bride? (Without worrying about gender)

Tiếng Việt Tiếng Nhật Q: This question is for Mr. Kinoko and Takashi: Out of all the Fate characters, who would you want as a bride? (Without worrying about gender) <Ritsuka> Nasu: Rin has been at the top of my list for the last ten years, since she could totally lead such a lost cause as myself. But now, as useless as I am, I would plot to make Kitsune my someone special. Takeuchi: With a thought like that you really are hopeless. Nasu: And what about you? Probably Saber, right? Takeuchi: It's because she's a glimmering star just out of reach that she's beautiful. I couldn't call her my bride. Though for some reason I think Shielder from Grand Order would be the ideal bride. Nasu: Really? No kidding (smirks). I guess you can look forward to the next volume of Grand Order! きのこさんとたかしさんに質問です。Fate全 キャラでお嫁さんにしたいキャラは誰ですか？（性別の壁突破可） ＜りつか＞ 奈：ダメ人間なきのこを引っ張ってくれる、という理由で凜が10年間1位を守ってきましたが、 今はダメ人間のままでも一角の人物として成功させてくれるであろうキャス狐に軍配があがるやもしれぬ。 武：その発想の時点でアナタはホン卜にダメ人間ですね。 奈：そういうyouは？やつばりセイバー？ 武：セイバーは手の届かぬ星だから美しい。嫁とは言えぬ。なにげにグランドオーダーの盾子 ちゃんが理想の嫁かもしれないなぁ。 奈：へえ。そうか。そうだったのか（ニタリ）。では グランドオーダー本編をお楽しみに！

[v] Fate/stay night [Unlimited Blade Works] Animation Material I - Kinoko and Takashi Q & A, p.040 [T]Translations by T.Roy Q: Berserker took no damage from Archer's A-rank Noble Phantasm "Broken Phantasm" (Caladbolg), is it ineffective due to Berserk's Noble Phantasm, or was he simply able to withstand it naturally?

Tiếng Việt Tiếng Nhật Q: Berserker took no damage from Archer's A-rank Noble Phantasm "Broken Phantasm" (Caladbolg), is it ineffective due to Berserk's Noble Phantasm, or was he simply able to withstand it naturally? <Not Mr. Shanoa> Nasu: Oh, that. In the original work it was like "Even though up until then none of the attacks had been worth dodging, this one would have been fatal, so Berserker counters → the resulting explosion from the Noble Phantasm is devastating." Yet in the anime version it was handled as "Berserker could not respond to it due to a severe injury from Saber → losing one of his lives, and regenerates," which may be something to think about. In all he lost 2 lives because of it. Takeuchi: Oh, so that's why God Hand in the anime version needed 3 days to recover! アーチャーのAランク宝具並の「壊れた幻想」を受けても無傷だったバーサーカーですが、宝具による効果で無効化したのではなく、素の耐久力で耐え切ったのでしょうか？ ＜シャノアールさん他＞ 奈：あれなー。原作だと「今まで殺す必要もない攻撃だったが、これだけは致命傷になるので迎撃したバーサーカー→宝具爆発による大惨事」。一方、アニメだと「セイバーによる致命傷でバーサーカー反応できず→素で喰らってさらにワンライフロストからの回復」とお考えください。都合、２機も残機減ってるんですね。 武：ああ、アニメ版のゴッドハンド、３日で回復したのはその為か！

[v] Fate/stay night [Unlimited Blade Works] Animation Material I - Kinoko and Takashi Q & A, p.040 [T]Translations by T.Roy Q: In the anime version, Rin has a few different ways of firing her Gandr. Is her multi-finger firing method any stronger than her original single-finger firing method?

Tiếng Việt Tiếng Nhật Q: In the anime version, Rin has a few different ways of firing her Gandr. Is her multi-finger firing method any stronger than her original single-finger firing method? <Fruit-punch Samurai M> Nasu: That isn't her true Gandr. Her index finger shot is definitely the strongest. Takeuchi: Then why does she do that? Is it some kind of homage to 004? Nasu: Rin is just an intense woman, so if she did that her Finn shot would turn into a Finn machinegun. We call it the Miura-style Gandr. It's really a new Gandr, along with the Finn rocket launcher that comes from her knee. With proper timing she could catch her opponent and strike their torso or face at point-blank range. That person would definitely die. Takeuchi: I know, that's why she's the Shining Wizard! アニメ版では凛のガンドの撃ち方のバリエーションが増えていますが、従来の指の１本のガンドと比べてアニメ版の複数の指を使ってる方が、威力が高いのでしょうか？ ＜フルーツポンチ侍M＞ 奈：実際のガンドだとそんな事はない。人差し指１本こそ最強。 武：じゃあ凛のあれはなに？００４のオマージュ？ 奈：凛さんは勢いの女だから、ああするとフィンの一撃がフィンのマシンガンになるんだ。後に三浦式ガンドと呼ばれる。まったく新しいガンドの誕生である。そのうち膝からフィンのロケットランチャーとかもだす。使用するタイミングは相手を掴まえてからの、相手の腹部、ないしガンメンに向けてのゼロ距離射撃。相手は死ぬ。 武：知ってる、それただのシャイニングウィザードだ！

[v] Fate/stay night [Unlimited Blade Works] Animation Material I - Kinoko and Takashi Q & A, p.040 [T]Translations by T.Roy Q: What would your "ideal mushroom (Kinoko)" be?

Tiếng Việt Tiếng Nhật Q: What would your "ideal mushroom (Kinoko)" be? <School of Bamboo> Takeuchi: I have no idea what this means. Does a mushroom even have anything to do with "ideal"? Nasu: Not really... Though I guess a fungus lacks the ability to think... It just clings to a controller like a zombie... 「理想のきのこ」とはどんなきのこですか？ ＜たけのこ派＞ 武：質問の意味が分からぬ。そもそもきのこに理想があるのだろうか…… 奈：ないよね……菌類とか思考能力ないもんね……ただゾンビのようにコントローラー握ってるだけだもんね……

[v] Fate/stay night [Unlimited Blade Works] Animation Material I - Kinoko and Takashi Q & A, p.040 [T]Translations by T.Roy Q: Will there be any specific scenes or action sequences for the authors (and the viewers) to look forward to in the most recent anime adaptation of 「Fate/stay night［Unlimited Blade Works］」 (Heretofore referred to as 「UBW」)?

Tiếng Việt Tiếng Nhật Q: Will there be any specific scenes or action sequences for the authors (and the viewers) to look forward to in the most recent anime adaptation of 「Fate/stay night［Unlimited Blade Works］」 (Heretofore referred to as 「UBW」)? <Ishigami> Nasu: All of the scenes with Rin while she's at the western-style Tohsaka residence! Takeuchi: The Gáe Bolg, Tsubame-Gaeshi (Swallow Reversal)... after 10 years I'm ecstatic to show all of these things in a new way. Nasu: And we can't leave out the Berserker fight in episode 3. No matter how many times I watch it, it's on a whole different level. 今回のアニメ化された『Fate/stay night［Unlimited Blade Works］』（以下『UBW』）の内容で、原作者（あるいは一視聴者）としてお気に入りのシーンやアクションはありますか？　＜いしがみ＞ 奈：洋館（遠坂邸）の中で過ごす凛のシーン、全部だ！ 武：ゲイ・ボルクや燕返しなど、１０年たったからこそ出来る新しい表現にしびれました。 奈：#03のバーサーカー戦も外せない。何度見ても面白いとか、ちょっとおかしいレベル。

[v] Fate/stay night [Unlimited Blade Works] Animation Material I - Kinoko and Takashi Q & A, p.040 [T]Translations by T.Roy Q: In the anime there is a good deal more destruction in Fuyuki City (at the school, specifically) than in the original work, yet the next day everything goes back to the way it was before. How hard is Kotomine working?

Tiếng Việt Tiếng Nhật Q: In the anime there is a good deal more destruction in Fuyuki City (at the school, specifically) than in the original work, yet the next day everything goes back to the way it was before. How hard is Kotomine working? <Orange> Nasu: I'd like you to take a look at episode #3 of the director's cut. As anything inorganic that is destroyed can be repaired, Kotomine put together a small budget and hired a repair specialist. Takeuchi: And what about the media? Nasu: That's thanks to the Church's connection. They have infiltrated the media and the political world. アニメでは原作以上に派手に破壊されている冬木の市街地（学校含）ですが、翌日には元通りになっていますよね。言峰はどのくらい頑張ったのでしょうか。 ＜オレンジ＞ 奈：そこはそれ、テレビ放映ではカッ卜された#03を見てほしい。無機物であれば壊れたものはなんとか補修できるので、言峰が少ない予算から補修のスべシャリス卜を雇っているのだ。 武：報道関係は？ 奈：そっちは聖堂教会側の人脈ですね。メディア、政界に仲間が潜りこんでいるのだ。

[v] Fate/stay night [Unlimited Blade Works] Animation Material I - Kinoko and Takashi Q & A, p.040 [T]Translations by T.Roy Q: The 「UBW」 anime was created with a pretty tight arrangement alongside ufotable. How exactly did that come about? Also, as there were various original scenes in the anime, who was the one who came up with the ideas?

Tiếng Việt Tiếng Nhật Q: The 「UBW」 anime was created with a pretty tight arrangement alongside ufotable. How exactly did that come about? Also, as there were various original scenes in the anime, who was the one who came up with the ideas? <Rio> Nasu: Explaining even only the details regarding that arrangement would take up this entire interview, so I can't discuss it here. The original scenes were scenes proposed by the director. He would let us know where he wanted a new scene, and I would make it. Takeuchi: The additional episode in the 2nd season was brutal... they wanted a 5 minute scene added, and this guy writes and submits a scene big enough to fill a whole episode! Nasu: Blame the people who gave it to me. 『UBW』のアニメはufotableさんと入念な打ち合わせをして制作しているということです が、一体どのようにして打ち合わせしているのでしょろか？またアニメ才リジナルシーンなどが多数見られましたが誰が考えたりしているのでしょうか？ ＜リオ＞ 奈：打ち合わせの細部は語るとそれだけでこのコーナーが終わるので割愛。オリジナルシーン は監督の方から「ここで新シーンがほしい」と提案があり、それを奈須の方で作る、という流れです。 武：2ndシーズンの追加エピソ—ドとか酷いよね……5分のシ—ン追加だって言うのに、こいつ、一話まるまる使うような長さのシーン書いて提出するんだぜ…… 奈：うむ。ワシに　投げる方が 悪い。

[v] Fate/stay night [Unlimited Blade Works] Animation Material I - Kinoko and Takashi Q & A, p.040-041 [T]Translations by T.Roy Q: For the battle scene between Rin and Ilya in the anime, did Ilya just get way stronger?! Was her strength based on 「Fate/Zero」?

Tiếng Việt Tiếng Nhật Q: For the battle scene between Rin and Ilya in the anime, did Ilya just get way stronger?! Was her strength based on 「Fate/Zero」? <UMA> Nasu: If it's at the land that houses the Holy Grail, then Ilya is indeed that strong. And being able to make a familiar from her hair was in the original draft. The work this time around was especially hard, so I ended up using an "Iri's replacement" approach. By the way, the name of the technique is Elfen Lied [German for Elves' Song, 天使の詩 - Angel's Poem]. The bird's name is Storch Fieseler [German term for a type of plane]. The Ibis that shoots bullets is Zahre (tear), and she can also transform them into an Épée (a sword). Takeuchi: Woah, that's the first I heard of that. Nasu: Yea, and it all sounded rather neat when I submitted it. Director Miura can create good results as long as I force everything upon him. Kinoko, remember this. 今回アニメで出てきた凜とイリヤの戦闊シ—ンについて、イリヤが無茶苦茶強くなってる!? 『Fate/Zero』を意識して作った能力なのでしょうか？ ＜UMA＞ 奈：大聖杯のある土地ならイリヤは無茶苦茶強い。あと髮の毛で使い魔を作るのは前から草案 がありましたが、 今回はせっかくなので「アイリの上位互換」として表現してもらいました。ちなみに術式は天使の詩。鳥の名前はシュトルヒリッたー。コウノトリが撃ち出す弹がツエ—レ（涙）、変形しての特攻がデーゲン（剣）。 武：ほ、ほう。初耳ですよ、それ。 奈：うむ。そういう設定を提出したらあんなに格好よくなったのだ。三浦監督にはとにかく無茶振りすればいいものができる。きのこ、覚えた。

[v] Fate/stay night [Unlimited Blade Works] Animation Material I - Kinoko and Takashi Q & A, p.041 [T]Translations by T.Roy Q: Mr. Takeuchi, Mr. Nasu, how do you feel about revisiting 「Fate/stay night」 after 10 years?

Tiếng Việt Tiếng Nhật Q: Mr. Takeuchi, Mr. Nasu, how do you feel about revisiting 「Fate/stay night」 after 10 years? <Taiwan's Shotsuki> Nasu: Heh heh, it sounds like forever but really 「Fate」 has always been influencing me. These 10 years really just feels like something very close to me has been doing well. Takeuchi: Like we're almost wondering how it's only been 10 years. But I guess in the end, when you see the main character's clothes and designs, you can really feel how long it's been. Nasu: Really though, by all rights we buried the thing. For it to come back and see new light after only 10 years is so rare. We know just how fortunate we are for this. 武内さん、奈須さん、10年ぶりの「Fate/stay night」との再会はどんな気持ちでしょうか？ ＜台湾の嘯月＞ 奈：フフフ……そうはいってもこの10年、常にFateに関わってきたからね…10年ぶりどころか「よっ、おつかれ」ぐらいの身近さなんだ。 武：むしろ10年も経ったという実感が薄いぐらい。…でも無いか。主にキャラクタ—の服装やデザインなどみると、ああ、10年経ったなぁと実感 しました。 奈：ともあれ、本来なら埋葬され、化石として閲覧されるだけのものが10年活動し続け、生きている物としてパ—ジョンアップされ続けるのは稀なことです。つくづく僕らは幸運だと実感しています。

[v] Fate/stay night [Unlimited Blade Works] Animation Material I - Kinoko and Takashi Q & A, p.041 [T]Translations by T.Roy Q: In the anime, there is a fight scene between Rin and Ilya, but are there any mages who could even win against Ilya in a magic fight in the actual 「Fate/stay night」, 「Fate/Zero」, or 「Fate/hollow ataraxia」 games?

Tiếng Việt Tiếng Nhật Q: In the anime, there is a fight scene between Rin and Ilya, but are there any mages who could even win against Ilya in a magic fight in the actual 「Fate/stay night」, 「Fate/Zero」, or 「Fate/hollow ataraxia」 games? <ukw> Nasu: Frankly, she is the top mage in Fuyuki. Still, first-class mages would follow the "since she's a child of nature, just cut her off from the land first" plan, so it's not like she's invincible. Kayneth and Tokiomi may be able to best her in a magic duel. Rin is just relentless. But if we're talking about the dark girl who contaminates the land itself... Takeuchi: ...Sakura's magecraft skills are really fit for a boss, aren't they. アニメの中で、凜とイリヤが魔術戦を行うシー ンがありましたが、実際のところ『Fate/stay night』や『Fate/Zero』、『Fate/hollow ataraxia』などに登場する魔術師で、イリヤと魔術戦で勝つことができる魔術師はいるのですか？ ＜ukw＞ 奈：真面目な話をすると、冬木ではトップランクの魔術師。それでも一流の魔術師なら「自然の嬰児であれば、まずは地脈と個人を切り離そう」と方針を立てると思われるので、敵無し、というワケではありません。ケイネスや時臣なら魔術戦で撃破可能です。凛はちよつと厳しい。逆に土地 そのものを汚染していくどこかの黒い娘なら…… 武：つくづくボス向きの魔術特性なんだな、桜は……。

[v] Fate/stay night [Unlimited Blade Works] Animation Material I - Kinoko and Takashi Q & A, p.041 [T]Translations by T.Roy Q: I was wondering why they changed Gotou's character designs.

Tiếng Việt Tiếng Nhật Q: I was wondering why they changed Gotou's character designs. <Kusakaki> Nasu: Don’t be silly. That Gotou can change at will. Takeuchi: Right? If you've ever claimed to see him, it was really just a figment of your imagination. But really, we just thought the designs were a little bit outdated, so we went with those changes. 後藤くんのキヤラデザインが変更された理由を教えて欲しいでこざる。 ＜草柿＞ 奈：たわけ。後藤くんは変幻自在でござる。 武：その通り。後藤くんに決まった形状が存在するなどと、いつから錯覚していた？まあマジレスすると、前のデサインがちよつとアレかなと思っていたので'この機会にアレしました。

[v] Fate/stay night [Unlimited Blade Works] Animation Material I - Kinoko and Takashi Q & A, p.041 [T]Translations by T.Roy Q: Did the blonde Servant wash his clothes after talking with Shinji in Episode 10?

Tiếng Việt Tiếng Nhật Q: Did the blonde Servant wash his clothes after talking with Shinji in Episode 10? <Mongoose> Nasu: Of course, he immediately washed it and applied disinfectant spray. Takeuchi: I loved that scene because of how mysterious it was. You gotta have abilities like Shinji's complete indifference to survive in this world. 訳：金髮のサーヴァン卜は#10で憤ニと会話した後、服を洗ったのでしようか？＜Mongoose＞ 奈：もちろん。サツと吹いて殺菌スプレ—かけたよ。 武：あのシーンは、謎の緊張感があって面白かった。慎ニの鈍感力は、これからの時代を生き抜く為に必要な能力なのかもしれない。

[v] Fate/stay night [Unlimited Blade Works] Animation Material I - Kinoko and Takashi Q & A, p.041 [T]Translations by T.Roy Q: Sasaki Kojirou spent his entire live sword training in the mountains, so how did he acquire a sword like the Bitchu Aoe (Blue River of Bitchu)? Was he not spending his time farming on the farmlands?

Tiếng Việt Tiếng Nhật Q: Sasaki Kojirou spent his entire live sword training in the mountains, so how did he acquire a sword like the Bitchu Aoe (Blue River of Bitchu)? Was he not spending his time farming on the farmlands? <Sunday> Nasu: Kojirou is the son of a ordinary farming family, living an ordinary farm life and separated from ordinary common sense. Ordinarily He met a master swordsman who had retired deep into the mountains, and began his ordinary life in the mountains himself. He was enthralled by the swordsmanship of the master, and he began training under him the next day. After one month, the master swordsman drew his last breath, and Kojirou completely threw himself into the path of a swordsman. By the way, what the master swordsman talked on about was the refined behavior of a swordsman--a communion with nature, so to speak. He did not instruct Kojirou on anything related to sword techniques. The Bitchu Aoe may have been the master's, or perhaps he received it from the Holy Grail when the legendary soul was summoned. It is simply something thought to be part of who he is. Takeuchi: So he only witnessed the opening of a performance [referring to swordmanship]... so he's really a genius among geniuses isn't he!? Nasu: Isn't it obvious. Don't underestimate a chivalrous man person who is eligible as a Servant despite being nameless. He was raised in both mind and body in those mountains. Even without a katana that master swordsman can cut through dimensions. Sengo Muramasa, that which can cut even casualty. 佐々木小次郎は生前ずっと山で剣を振るだけの人生を過こしたそうですが、そうするとどうやって備中青江のような業物を手に入れたので しょうか？というか、ちゃんと農民として農作 業をしたりしてたのでしようか？ ＜Sunday＞ 奈：あの男はフツーの農家の子供で、フツーに村の暮らしとか人間の常識からズレていて、フツーに山奥に隠れるように隠居した剣聖に出会い、フツーに山で暮らすようになったんだ。はじめて剣聖の太刀筋を見た時に心奪われ、翌日から弟子入りするも剣聖はひと月ほどで息を引き取り、後はいびつながらも純粋に剣の道を究めた。ちなみに、剣聖が話してきかせたものは剣士としての雅な立ち振る舞いーーー即ち花鳥風月のみ。剣に関しては佐々木某に何一つ教えなかつた。備中青江は剣聖の持ち物か、 あるいは英霊と して召喚された時に聖杯から与えられた。佐々木小次郎としての出で立ち、と思われます。 武：じゃあはじめの演舞を見ただけなんだ…… それ、天才の中の天才クラスですよね!? 奈：あったりめえだっつーの。無名でありながら英霊検索に該当した伊達男舐めんなっつ—の。心身共に山育ちだっつーの。そも剣聖なら刀なんか使わなくても次元を斬るぐらいできるっつ—の。千子村正、因果すら断つっつーの。

[v] Fate/stay night [Unlimited Blade Works] Animation Material I - Kinoko and Takashi Q & A, p.041 [T]Translations by T.Roy Q: This question is for Mr. Takeuchi. Which drawing of Saber of yours is your favorite?
Tiếng Việt Tiếng Nhật Q: This question is for Mr. Takeuchi. Which drawing of Saber of yours is your favorite? <Garlic Nabe> Takeuchi: The next Saber I draw will be my favorite! Nasu: Woah... (shedding tears of gratitude in response to the remark) Takeuchi: Hey, why are you crying? 武内さんへの質問です、今まで自分が描いた中で一番好きなセイバーは誰ですか？ ＜にら鍋＞ 武：次に描くセイパ—が、一番好きなセイパー だ！ 奈：ぶわっ（あまりの発言に感涙） 武：なぜ泣く。

[v] Fate/stay night [Unlimited Blade Works] Animation Material I - Kinoko and Takashi Q & A, p.041 [T]Translations by T.Roy Q: For the new outfits, did Mr. Kinoko have any opinions or personal requests for them? Or is it something he left entirely to Mr. Takeuchi and ufotable?

Tiếng Việt Tiếng Nhật Q: For the new outfits, did Mr. Kinoko have any opinions or personal requests for them? Or is it something he left entirely to Mr. Takeuchi and ufotable? <Rouge> Takeuchi: First I would propose any changes I was keen on, then when the designs would start coming together Nasu would give his opinion on them. Nasu: There was never anything too gaudy, and the designs I felt gave proper respect to the character's image, so it was an easy thing to approve and move on with. 新衣装について、きのこさんは意見や要望を出 したんでしょうか？それとも全て武内さんと ufotableさんにおまかせ？ ＜紅かや＞ 武：まずは自分が気になる部分の修正を提案して、デザインとして纏める際に奈須に意見を貰ったという感じですね。 奈：あまり派手にならず、きっちりキャラクターイメ—ジを尊重してくれるので大抵は即決ですよ。

[v] Fate/stay night [Unlimited Blade Works] Animation Material I - Kinoko and Takashi Q & A, p.041 [T]Translations by T.Roy Q: Saber's so cutely drawn that many are asking: Is this Saber's route? Was this Mr. Takeuchi's idea, given that she's his absolute favorite?

Tiếng Việt Tiếng Nhật Q: Saber's so cutely drawn that many are asking: Is this Saber's route? Was this Mr. Takeuchi's idea, given that she's his absolute favorite? <Yuma> Takeuchi: Oh no, Saber is definitely cute, but aren't Rin, Sakura, and Fuji-nee just as cute? Nasu: Don't forget about the trio. Takeuchi: Having passed the 「Fate/Zero」 animation adaptation, my understanding of the characters and the world has gotten much deeper, but there's also a feeling of love on top of that. For an author, there's nothing greater than seeing your characters being loved. Nasu: Of course. It's just like a father wishing for his daughter's happiness. これはセイバールー卜ですか？と言わんばかりにセイバーさんが可愛らしく描かれていました。それはセイバーさん大好き人間である武内先生の発案でしょうか？ ＜ゆーま＞ 武：いや、セイパーも可愛いですけど、凜も桜も藤ねえまでも、大変可愛いですよ？ 奈：三人娘も忘れてはならぬ。 武：『Fate/Zero』の映像化を経たことで、キャラクターや世界感への理解が深くなったことは確かだと思いますが、それ以上に愛情を強く感 じます。原作者にとって、キャラクタ—が愛される以上に幸せなことは無いですよ。 奈：確かになー。娘の幸せを望まぬ父親などいない、みたいな。

Tiếng Việt Tiếng Nhật Q: What were Archer's feelings like when he tried to kill Shirou, saved him, and later when he put his faith in him and tried to change his life and way of thinking? <Aisaka Riku> Nasu: When he was attacking Shirou, he was simply devoid of much emotion at all. He was in agony, and was only holding on to the sliver of hope that this would forge a different path for him. His whirlwind of emotions towards Shirou (and himself) were not pleasant for him. It is not simply that Archer feels the need to explode in anger, nor is it that he wants to save him. He simply wants to single-handedly sever any possibility of a murderer coming along under the mask of justice in this world line, it is the least he could do to atone for those who have already been taken. Takeuchi: So... what does that mean exactly? Details, please. Nasu: This is how it works when you don't want to spoil it! You have to wait for the 2nd season! アーチャーは士郎を殺そうとしたり肋けたりと色々士郎を信頼して、生き方や考え方を変えようとしていますが、こういう時の彼の心情はどういった感じなのでしょうか？ ＜相坂陸＞ 奈：どうせ変わらない、という虚無感に襲われながらも、もしかすれば違う道があるのでは、と一縷の可能性に鎚り、苦悩している。どうあれ彼に渦巻いている感情は（本人にとっても）気持ちの良いものではない。アーチャーは八つ当たりしたい訳でも、救われたい訳でもない。この世界線で、正義の名の下に生まれる殺人者、が現れる可能性を自らの手で断つ事が、今まで奪ってきたものたちへの最低限の贖いだと考えているだけ。 武：えーと……つまりどういうコト？具体的 にタノム。 奈：ネタバレしないように言うとこうなるんだ！2ndシ—ズンを待て！

Tiếng Việt Tiếng Nhật Q: In episode #00, Rin tries to summon without any sort of catalyst, but is that even possible? And assuming she did not get the time wrong, would she have summoned a different Heroic Spirit? <Short Sleeves> Nasu: With the proper procedures and Command Spells, it is possible, though the summon itself would be random, yes. But even given the time, for a certain reason Rin does wind up summoning Archer in Fuyuki City. Takeuchi: Even if it's random, Rin is amazing to summon a legendary soul comparable to SR. #00で凜は触媒がない状態での召喚を行おうと していますが、そんなことは可能なのでしょう か？また、時間を勘違いしていなかった場合、他の英霊が召喚されたのでしょうか？ ＜半袖＞ 奈：正しい手順と令呪さえあれば可能です。ほと んど運任せのランダムガチャ……もとい、ランダム召喚になりますが。また、時間があっていても或る理由から、凛が冬木の街で召喚するのは アーチヤーでしょう。 武：ランダムガチャでもSR英霊を引き当てる凜が凄いということか。

Tiếng Việt Tiếng Nhật Q: What does Saber do during the day? <Takatakashi> Nasu: As Shirou doesn't offer her any magical energy, Saber wastes her own magical energy by going into sleep mode. She sure has a lot of freedom during meals though, doesn't she. Takeuchi: Wait, I know it's very little, but didn't you say she can also get magical energy from eating!! セイバーは日中なにやってるんですか？ ＜たかたかし＞ 奈：士郎からの魔力提供がないため、セイパ—自身の魔力を無駄遣いしようようにスリープモー ドに入ってる……のだが。食事時はわりとフリーダムですよね、 あの人。 武：微々ではあるけど食事も魔力変換できるってきのこ先生が言ったじゃないですか！！

Tiếng Việt Tiếng Nhật Q: This is a question about the battle in episode #07! As opposed to the game, Saber evades Kojiro's Tsubame-Gaeshi when seeing the complete version for the first time. But isn't that only because she had her instincts and put all her power into her Invisible Air [風王結界 - Bounded Field of the Wind King]?! <Shirosuki> Nasu: Exactly, and I can only say it was because it was the anime version. I could go on forever about Tsubame-Gaeshi, but probably even Caster would be driven crazy after 5 minutes. #07の戦闘について質問です！ゲームと違い、完全版の小次郎の燕返しをセイバーが初見で避けていましたが、アレは直感と風王結界を全力で離脱に用いたからこそ可能だったのでしょうか！ ＜シロウスキー＞ 奈：その通り。なぜそうなったかはアニメ用アレンジと言わざるをえない。燕返しの説明を延々5分以上流したらキャスターでなくともイラっとくるでしよ。

Tiếng Việt Tiếng Nhật Q: Rider invoked Blood Fort Andromeda despite Sakura being in the school. If the barrier was sustained, would Rider have went to save Sakura even if it meant disobeying Wakame [Seaweed, Shinji's nickname]? <Teacher Blossom> Takeuchi: I'm actually wondering about that too. Nasu: I hate to be mean, but Sakura has enough magical energy such that she would only be in a coma. To Rider that's not a problem, which is why it was done in secret from Sakura. Had she talked to Sakura instead, it would have become much more chaotic like "stop her brother → her brother becomes more of a Wakame." 学校に桜さんがいるにも関わらず「鮮血神殿」を発動させたライダーさんですが、もしもあの まま結界が維持されていたら、ライダ—さんはワカメさんに逆らってでも桜さんを助けたのでしょうか？ ＜ティーチャー•ブロッサム＞ 奈：それはオレも気になった。 武：酷い話を言えば、桜は魔カ量が違うので「昏睡するだけ」で済む。ライダー的には何の問題もない。なので桜には内緒で実行した。逆に桜に相談してたら「兄さんを止める→兄さんさらにワカメ」でもっとカオスってたと思われます。

Takeuchi: I've always thought that Shirou had been getting a bit weird, so that's what it was! Nasu: Yea. We wrote him based on "what would happen if he were raised more timidly." It was more fun than I thought it would be, to take a character so straightforward and make them docile... 切嗣の養子になる前の士郎はどんな子だったのですか？ ＜鯖サンド＞ 奈：詳しくは『カプセルさーばんと』を！ 武：あの士郎、ちよっと変な性格になっていると 思ってはいたけど、そんな設定だったんか！ 奈：うん。素直に育ったらどうなるか、というコンセプトで書いてみた。書いてみたら、思いの外楽しかった。竹を割ったような性格の主人公は素直でいい……。

Tiếng Việt Tiếng Nhật Q: With Berserker's Noble Phantasm God Hand, you gain resistance to an attack once you're hit by it, but do you only gain this resistance by having died once? Would the same attack be effective multiple times as long as it was before he died? <Madao Gingetsu> Nasu: You don't have to die. For example... if you were to take fire damage, once you recover you would gain +100 resistance to fire. Takeuchi: Oh, feels like it has been toned-down. Wouldn't it have completely nullified it before? Nasu: I said it won't work, but I don't think I've ever said it'll be negated. BB: "Mine is to nullify all attacks, Macho-san's is to triple his defense! What's the difference!?" Heracles: "It's not even close (to your hacked ability)!" Takeuchi: No matter how you put it, it's an overpowered skill. バーサーカーの宝具「十二の試練」には一度受けた攻擊に対して耐性を付ける効果がありますが、この耐性を付ける条件とは一度「死ぬ」ことなのでしょうか？仮に同じ攻擊でも死ぬ前なら何度も通じるのでしよろか？ ＜銀月マダオ＞ 奈：死ぬ必要はないです。例えば、 火炎のダメージを受けたら傷が治った後、対火炎防御力 +100になる……といった感じ。 武：お。なんかマイルドになったね。前は完全無効じゃなかったっけ？ 奈：効かなくなる、とは言ったが無効とは言っていない。BB「私は攻撃才ールキャンセルで、マッチョさんは防御力3倍！そこに何の違いがあるって言うんですかぁ!?」ヘラクレス「（おまえのような完全チートとは）違うのだ！」 武：どちらにせよチートスキルですよね。

Please help me and give me an answer! <Lord Baldy> Nasu: That's a tricky one. A minus sign is like that one thing, you know? It's like a B in terms of rank, but for your ability it's less than a B, maybe even a C. Something like that. Think of it as a number that's not very stable. Also, take care of your hair.

Tiếng Việt Tiếng Nhật Q: The terms "Tradition Protection" and "Anti-Purge Defense" come up all the time, what are these! <TG09> Nasu: For tradition protection, if an attack does not follow specific rules it will not connect. This is possessed by Alice Kuonji's Ploy Kickshaw, for example. Basically, it's not an actual defense, per se, but something with restrictive conditions. Anti-purge defense is something we'll be talking about in more detail soon, so please wait just a bit longer on that one. For now, I can simply say that it is an ultimate defense against a level of attack that could even end the world. Takeuchi: That term came about around the same time as the Panzer World Galient OVA ...did you really like the term that much? Nasu: Enough to make it the most ultimate defense ever. ちょいちょい出てくるようになったワード「伝承防御」や「対粛清防御」について教えて下さ い！ ＜TG09＞ 奈：伝承防御は「ある決まりに添った攻擊でなければ通らない」防御。久遠寺有珠のプロイキッシャー等が持つ。ようは概念防御をより限定条件にしたもの。対粛清御に関してはいずれ語られる時がくるので、それまでもうちょっと待ってほしい。まあ、簡单に言えばワールドエンド系の攻擊にさえ対応する最上級の防御ですよ。 武：……対粛清防御って鉄の紋章の頃からあったね、そういうば……アナタ、どんだけその言葉 好きなの？ 奈：防御手段の最上級にもってくるぐらい好き。

Tiếng Việt Tiếng Nhật Q: What is the role of the eyeball that appears in Blood Fort Andromeda? Is it the Backbeard's? <Aisaka Riku> Nasu: Everyone forgets this, but that is Medusa's eyeball. It seals other people within oneself, hence why it's called Blood Fort Andromeda [Outer-Seal, Blood Temple]. The entire school building has been pulled into the eyeball of a monster. Takeuchi: Like a Conceptual Barrier? If it goes too far, won't it turn into the Shapeless Island? Nasu: Oui, Monsieur.

Tiếng Việt Tiếng Nhật Q: This is about Kuzuki-sensei who is physically stronger than regular people. Aside from his fists being strengthened by Caster, are the rest his own strength, or did Caster strengthened other parts of his body as well? <Soujuurou of the Hill> Nasu: In the anime version, his entire body is strengthened. When the excessively worrying Caster buffed him to ten times that of a normal human, since Kuzuki's base strength is higher than a normal human, he became even more ridiculous, and did the unthinkable during his fight with Saber. Caster was surprised herself: "What the? Isn't my Master a little too strong?!" Takeuchi: On a side note, it was also thanks to Caster's help that Kuzuki was able to move inside to Rider barrier. 常人離れした身体能カの葛木先生ですが、キヤスターに「強化」された拳以外は全て彼本来のものなのでしょうか？それとも拳以外にもキャスターに強化されているのでしょうか？ ＜坂の上の草十郎＞ 奈：アニメ版では全体に強化がかかっています。心配性のキャス子が常人の10倍パフをかけておいたら、そもそも葛木先生のデフォルトは常人離れしていたので更にとんでもない事になったのがセイパー戦のあれ。キャス子も「嘘、私のマスター強すぎ!?」と驚いていた。 武：ちなみに、ライダーの結界で葛木先生が動けたのもキャスターの助けがあっての話。

If possible, tell me both the one you really like as well as the one used for jokes! <NiceKnock> Nasu: When I wrote Fate, we thought the concept of Gáe Bolg would work, and so it became the first Noble Phantasm, so it is always special to me. I never dreamed of being able to use it for humor so easily later on. Takeuchi: My favorite would have to be Excalibur. Young women, knight, and beam weapon, it's every boy's dream.

[v] Fate/stay night [Unlimited Blade Works] Season 2 DVD Booklet Animation Elements p.19-27 [T]Translation by Kotonoha

Tiếng Việt Tiếng Nhật • The origins of Einzbern A factory originally created by the students of the magician who realized the third magic. Began in the year 1 AD. They attempted to reproduce their master’s miracle, but couldn’t do it themselves, so as an alternate plan they tried to recreate a specimen identical to their master and have it reproduce the magic. After nearly 900 years of effort, Justeaze—the homunculus who would come to be called the Winter Saint—was forged. She was a model that strayed from what the magi had intended, created completely by accident, but her abilities were equal to or above those of their master. The magi should have been elated about Justeaze, but they couldn’t be happy. After all, she was a mutation that was born regardless of their own techniques or skills. Even if that specimen was to reproduce the third magic, that conclusion would be harder for them to bear than 900 years of failure. The magi deperately attempted to create a homunculus that excelled Justeaze by their own techniques. The artificial intelligence created to act as the castle’s central management—the golem Jubstacheit—was the pinnacle of their craft, and became the father of all homunculi created at Einzbern. Justeaze succeeded at proving the third magic. However, it was not cost-effective. Justeaze’s use of the third magic was like careful knitting. It would take several years to save just one person, making the salvation of the entire human race virtually unattainable. In addition, while Justeaze herself did not age, her body was so frail it would take little to kill her, so she could not leave the castle. Since her intelligence and mentality were also unaging, she did not develop at all. From an outside perspective, it was as if she was repeating a single day for all eternity. If she were to leave the castle she would be freed from this “single day,” but the act of leaving the castle signified an easy death for Justeaze. In the end, they accepted that humans could create something that surpassed humans, but not something that could save humans. … Or perhaps they would not have failed if a miracle like Justeaze had not occurred. The magi despaired the limits of their abilities. Some abandoned the castle, while others took their own lives. The homunculi left at Einzbern were abandoned by their creators, but in their purity, they continued to operate the factory for the sake of the creators’ ideology—the salvation of humankind, the reproduction of a miracle. From then on, all homunculi created at Einzbern were based off of Justeaze. Jubstacheit created a humanoid terminal unit, and used it as the manager of Einzbern. Though by the end he operated even Acht (the eighth humanoid terminal), he did not possess a personality. He only included the necessary “humanity” to operate the castle and reproduce the third magic into each of his humanoid terminals, and made them act like humans. Jubstacheit is essentially an automaton that cannot progress, but continues operating in perpetuity. His way of existence is just like an old clock ticking away, being forgotten by people before running down. • The great grail Five hundred years after the magi departed from Einzbern, a model plan was devised for a wide-area operation device for the third magic using Justeaze. Einzbern had determined that reproducing Justeaze was impossible. Their plan of keeping Justeaze safe because she was a unique and valuable model switched to a plan to use that unique model to mass-produce miracles. (This was not Jubstacheit’s plan, but a consensus of opinion within Einzbern. Because the homunculi were pure, they chose the method with the greatest probability of success. In fact, Jubstacheit was the only intelligence that voted against this.) Justeaze could only use the third magic on one human over a period of decades. Therefore, using Justeaze as a frame, they would create a “greater” magic formula and save many humans at once. The plan was to disassemble her magic circuits and replace them with a magic formula, creating a humanoid universe—the great grail. But Einzbern alone could not start this project. They were no more than dolls. They had no way to live in the outside world, and they couldn’t handle the complexity of human society. To create the great grail and reproduce the third magic, they needed understanding and cooperative humans. Then, in the year 1800, a guest arrived at the winter castle that had continued to produce homunculi. Makiri Zolken. A magus who had devoted his life to eliminating all the evils of the world, the evils of humanity. (At this point, Zolken was mostly disillusioned. He knew it was about time to give up, but calling on Einzbern was his last hope. He met Justeaze, and felt a complicated mix of emotions—hope towards fulfilling his ambition, jealousy at her ability to use the third magic, and pity for Justeaze’s eternal youth causing her to “repeat the same day.”) With Makiri’s understanding and Tōsaka’s cooperation, Einzbern began to create the great grail. However, once they started, they determined that Justeaze alone was not enough. They could create a great grail. They could create its core. However, to operate it they would need vast amounts of magical energy, and a lesser grail to control it. Makiri and Tōsaka devised a ritual to collect magical energy using Justeaze’s ability to connect with the root: the grail war. Despite being unable to reproduce Justeaze, Einzbern created a lesser grail with similar abilities to hers. After 10 years, the project was finally complete. The grail war ritual was successful, and the great grail lit up. But its first operation ended in dismal failure. There was no flaw in the great grail itself. The problem lay in the craftsmen and magi who participated. Instead of using the precious magic reactor core for the sake of the whole planet, the magi killed each other out of a desire to use it for the sake of their own race or society. Einzbern had been unable to understand the thought processes of the humans who operated the great grail. • Irisviel and Illyasviel Einzbern learned from the failure of the grail war and changed their plans. Justeaze no longer existed. While preparing to restart the great grail, they returned to their original goal and focused on creating a perfect homunculus. As a result, they created Irisviel, a homunculus with the function of a lesser grail. They expanded on her further and Illyasviel, a homunculus that was the pinnacle of Einzbern’s technique, was born. • Tuners This is a digression, but separate from the winter castle is the tuners’ building (a small house), inhabited by a family of human magi, not homunculi. Since the homunculi cannot negotiate with human society, the tuners went into town in their place and barter for needed materials. Traders, essentially. Still, they are a talented magus family, and possess strong artistry. Humans without strong aesthetic sense could never take care of Einzbern, after all. The tuner family’s numbers dwindled along with Einzbern’s decline, and in the end only one remained. It seems he often worked in the castle as a butler, teaching the secluded, medieval-minded homunculi about the outside world. It’s unknown what kind of conclusion that tuner chose after Illya lost and Jubstacheit shut himself down. • In summary: so what is Einzbern? A factory in which homunculi continued operating towards the ideals and goals humans had given them, after the magi had left. Jubstacheit is something like the factory’s central management program. A monolith. Acht is his terminal. Even after their creators had given up and died, the homunculi in the winter castle devoted themselves to making their masters’ dream come true. What lies at the basis of the Einzbern factory and many discarded things is the purity of machines. Imagine a doll that can speak to its owner, but only a few phrases. “Hello,” “thank you,” “I’m sorry,” “good night”—“I love you.” These reactions delight the buyer, but it’s clear that they will soon be disappointed. “No matter what I say, the doll can only say predetermined phrases. It just keeps repeating that tired old ‘I love you.’ ” Realizing that the love the doll speaks of is a false emotion, the buyer will likely discard it eventually. But humans are the ones who see that as empty words and a manufactured fake. Even if it doesn’t have a “heart,” even if it’s only repeating the same words, there are no lies in the actions of machines. They innocently carry out the task they were given. “I love you.” Though abandoned, forgotten, and scorned as out-of-date dolls, they continue to carry out their mission, unchanged from the time they were designed. Machines do not lose their worth when a newer model appears. Their worth (life) ends when humans can no longer bear that purity. ■アインツベルンの始まり  もともとは第三魔法を実現化した魔法使いの弟子たちが起こした工房。西暦元年から続く。  彼らは師の奇跡を再現しようと試みるも自分たちの手では叶わず、代案として師と同一の個体を作り、その個体 に魔法を再現させようとした。    九百年近くの徒労の末、後に冬の聖女と呼ばれるホムンクルス、ユスティーツァが鋳造される。  彼女はまったくの偶然で作られた、魔術師たちの思惑とは外れたモデルだったが、その性能は彼らの師と同様か 、それを上回るものだった。  本来なら歓喜で迎えられる筈のユスティーツァだが、魔術師たちは素直には喜べなかった。  なにしろ自分の技術、努力とは関係なく生まれた突然変異だ。  仮にこの個体が第三魔法を再現してしまった時。  それは彼らにとって挫折し続けた九百年の歳月より耐えがたい〃結論〃になってしまう。    魔術師たちはユスティーツアを超えるホムンクルスを自らの技術体系で作りだそうと躍起になった 。  城の中枢制御用に作られた人工知能 …… ゴーレム・ユーブスタクハイトは彼らの技術の結晶であり、アインツベルンで作られるホムンクルスたちすべて の父となった。    ユスティーツァ、第三魔法の証明に成功。  ただしコストが悪い。ユスティーツァの第三魔法は丁寧な編み物に近い。人間一人を救済するのに数年をかける ようなもので、全人類の救済にはとても届かない。  また、ユスティーツァ自身も不老ではあるが体    は脆弱で死にやすく、城の外には出られない。  その知性、精神性も不老である為、まったく成長しない。客観的に見れば「同じ一日を永遠に繰り返している」 ようなもの。  城の外に出れば彼女は「同じ一日」から解放されるが、城の外に出る事はユスティーツァにとって緩やかな死を 意味する。    結局のところ。  人の手で人間を超えるものは作れても、人の手で人間を救えるものは作れない、と彼らは受け入れ た。  .....あるいは。ユスティーツァという奇跡さえ発生しなければ、彼らの挫折は訪れなかったのかもしれな いが。    魔術師たちは自らの才能の限界に膝を折り、あるものは城を捨て、あるものは命を断った。  アインツベルンに残されたホムンクルスたちは創造主に捨てられたものの、その純粋さから彼らの 理念—  人類の救済、奇跡を再現するために工場を回し続ける事になった。    以後、アインツベルンで作られるホムンクルスはすべてユスティーツァをベースにしたものとなる 。  ユーブスタクハイトは人間型の端末筐体を製造し、これをアインツベルンの管理者として使用する。最終的には アハト(八代目の人型端末 )まで稼働するユーブスタクハイトだが、彼に人格は存在しない。  あくまで〃城を動かすもの〃〃第三魔法を再現するもの〃として、その都度、必要な〃人間性〃を人型端末に植 え付け、人間のフリをさせている      にすぎない。  ユーブスタクハイトの本質は〃進歩できないかわりに、永久に稼働し続ける〃オートマトンである。そのあり方 はユツユツと時を刻み、自壊する前に人々の記憶から忘れ去られる古時計そのものだ。    ■大聖杯  アインツベルンから魔術師たちが去ってから五百年後。  ユスティーツァを使った第三魔法の広域稼働装置のモデルプランが作られる。  アインツベルンはユスティーツァの再製造は不可能と結論。  一機しかいない貴重なモデルなので保存してお、くという方針から、一機の貴重品を使って奇跡を量産化する、 という方針に切り替えた。  (これはユーブスタクハイトの方針ではなくアインツペルンの総意。ホムンクルスたちは純粋なので、より可能 性のある方法を選んだ。むしろユーブスタクハイトは唯一、反対に票を投じた知性だった)    ユスティーツァでは何十年かけて人間ひとりにしか第三魔法を使用できない。  なのでユスティーツァという機体を使って「より大きな」魔術式を作り、一度に多くの人間を救え ばいい。  彼女の魔術回路を分解し、魔術式に置換した人体宇宙—大聖杯の構想である。    しかしアインツベルンだけではこのプロジェクトを始められない。  彼らは人形にすぎない。外の世界で生きる術を        持たず、また、人間社会の複雑さには耐えきれないからだ。  大聖杯—第三魔法の再現には人間の理解者と協力者がいる。    そして西暦1800年。  延々とホムンクルスを作り続けていた冬の城に来訪者が現れた。  マキリゾォルケン。この世すべての悪人間の悪性、その切除に人生を捧げた魔術師だ。  (ゾォルケンもこの段階でほぼ夢破れている状態。もう諦めるべきだと分かっていながら、最後の希望でアイン ツベルンを訪れた。そうしてユスティーツァに出会い、悲願達成への希望、第三魔法を可能とするユスティーツ ァへの羨望、不老の代償に『一日を永遠に繰り返す』ユスティーツァへの哀れみ等の複雑な感情に とらわれる )    マキリという理解者、遠坂という協力者を経てアインツベルンは大聖杯の建造を開始。  しかし。大聖杯の建造に着手した時、ユスティーツアだけでは足りない事が判明した。  大聖杯は建造できる。炉心は確実に作れる。  しかし、これを動かすには莫大な魔力と、それを制御しうる小聖杯が必要だ。  マキリと遠坂は魔力集め—根源と接続できるユスティーツァの特性を生かした儀式、聖杯戦争を立 案。  アインツベルンはユスティーツァの再現といかずとも、彼女に近い性能を持った小聖杯を作成する 事になった。    十年の歳月を経て計画は成就した。  儀式・聖杯戦争は成功し、大聖杯に灯がともった。      だが一度目の運転は、無残な失敗に終わった。  大聖杯に落ち度があったのではない。  参加した技術者、魔術師たちに問題があったのだ。  せっかくの魔術炉心を魔術師たちは惑星のために使うのではなく民族のため、己が社会のために使おうと殺し合 った。  大聖杯を運営する人間の思惑を、アインツペルンは理解できていなかったのだ。    ■アイリスフィール、イリヤスフィールまで  失敗に終わった聖杯戦争を教訓に、アインツベルンは方針を改めた。  もうユスティーツァは存在しない。  彼らは大聖杯の再稼働を進めながら、当初の目的に立ち返った。完成されたホムンクルスの製造に 注力した。    その結果、小聖杯としての機能を持ったホムンクルス・アイリスフィールが作られ、さらにその発展—アインツ ベルンの全技術の最高水準であるホムンクルスであるイリヤスフィールが誕生した。    ■調律師  余談ではあるが、冬の城のはずれには調律師たちの離れ(小さな洋館)がある。  ここにはホムンクルスではない人間の魔術師の一族が住んでいる。  彼らは人間社会とうまく交渉できないホムンクルスたちの代わりに町に出て必要な物資を交換してくる、いわば 商人だ。  とはいえ腕の立つ魔術師の一族であり、彼ら自    身も高い芸術性を持っている。優れた美術観を持つ人間でなければアインツベルンの面倒は見られ ないからだ。  調律師の一族もアインツベルンの衰退とともにこ数を減らし、最後には一人を残すのみとなった。  彼は人間社会にうとく中世の感覚のまま暮らしているホムンクルスたちに外の世界を教える執事として城で働く 事も多かったという。    イリヤが失敗し、ユーブスタクハイトが自らの電源を落とした後、この調律師がどのような結末を選んだかは定 かではない。    ■まとめつまり,アインツベルンって何?  魔術師がいなくなった後、彼らに作られたホムンクルスたちが、人間の目指した理想と目的のために稼働し続け ている工場。  ユーブスタクハイトは工房の中枢制御プログラムのようなもの。モノリス。アハトはその端末。  ホムンクルスたちは創造主があきらめ死に絶えた後も、冬の城で主が夢見たものを叶えようと研鑽 していた。    アインツベルンの工房、多くの廃棄物たちの根底にあるのは機械の純粋さ。  たとえば「数パターンにすぎないが、持ち主に話しかけられると返事をする人形」があるとする。  『ごきげんよう』 『ありがとう』 『ごめんなさい』 『おやすみなさい』—『あなたを愛しています』その反応に喜ぶ買い主だが、すぐに失望するのは 明白だ。  〃私が何を言おうと人形は決まった台詞しか言わない。愛しています、なんて聞き飽きた言葉を      繰り返す〃    人形が語っていたのは偽物の愛、偽物の感情だ青だと思い知り、買い主はいずれ人形を破棄するだ ろう。  だが、それを空虚な言葉、作られた偽物と感じているのは人間側の事情だ。  たとえそこに『心』がなく、同じ言葉を繰り返すだけだとしても、機械の行いに嘘はない。  彼らは無心に、与えられた仕事をこなし続ける。  『あなたを愛しています』と。  捨てられ、忘れ去られ、時代遅れの人形と蔑まれても、彼女たちは作られた時の制作意図から変わることなく使 命を果たし続ける。  機械がその価値を失うのは次の代用品が現れた時、ではなく。  人問がその純粋さに耐えきれなくなった時、彼らの いのだ価値は終わるのだ。

[v] Fate/stay night Heaven’s Feel I. presage flower Animation Material - Kinoko and Takashi Q & A, p.22 [T]Official Translation Q: There’s finally an animated version of HF through Sakura’s route. Upon coming up with the character design for Sakura, what was the hardest part?

Tiếng Việt Tiếng Nhật Q: There’s finally an animated version of HF through Sakura’s route. Upon coming up with the character design for Sakura, what was the hardest part? <Factory Ramen> Nasu: If I were to put it into text, it’d be something like: how do you include an immoral sense of guilt within the heroism and tidiness of an underclassman character? Back when we were making the game version of stay night, we had this mysterious keyword-”neat meat.” Takeuchi: Oh yeah, we did have that. Who said that? We used that phrase like, “We could have made Sakura lean more towards neat meat” or something… And I think we had a character recently where that phrase was like her motif… Ow, my head… Nasu: To reincarnate into Kiara after over a decade’s time… CCC was a bit too sinful… ？ ＜Factory Ramen＞ 奈： 武： 奈：

Tiếng Việt Tiếng Nhật Q: Sakura was great of course. But Ms. Taiga Fujimura was also amazing, with her mature sexiness. Mr. Nasu and Mr. Takeuchi, did you feel anything about that? <Elegant Beautiful Teacher> Nasu: I mean, it’s been 10 years since the release, so Fuji-nee would obviously have become an adult… I’m deeply moved. Takeuchi: Wait a minute, you talk like a small child grew up to be an adult, but she was already a proper adult 10 years ago. Nasu: Are you serious? Does that mean I was already an adult 10 years ago too…? Takeuchi: Eh… I don’t know about that. Nasu: Putting that topic aside, Fuji-nee is Fuji-nee, yet still meticulously drawn as an adult female is where I felt love towards her. ？ ＜Elegant Beautiful Teacher＞ 奈： 武： 奈： 武： 奈：

Tiếng Việt Tiếng Nhật Q: Out of all the extracurricular school activities, why did Shinji choose the Archery club, and how did he get started in Archery? <Namiyasou> Nasu: It’s not as popular as the other athletic teams, and it looked like a stoic sport, I guess? I’m sure he would have joined the Fencing Team if there was one. Takeuchi: Mm… It’s so complicated. Nasu: He just couldn’t stay normal. But he was normal. That’s why this story is at an end, Rock… Takeuchi: It’s too cruel… I can’t stand to watch… ？ ＜Namiyasou＞ 奈： 武： 奈： 武：

[v] Fate/stay night Heaven’s Feel I. presage flower Animation Material - Kinoko and Takashi Q & A, p.22 [T]Official Translation Q: The difficulty of Heroic Spirit summons changes by era, land, and how humanity exists, but is there some sort of prerequisite of “it will never work without this”?

Tiếng Việt Tiếng Nhật Q: The difficulty of Heroic Spirit summons changes by era, land, and how humanity exists, but is there some sort of prerequisite of “it will never work without this”? <Silver Moon Mandao> Nasu: You again, Madao? (greetings) Takeuchi: How many times has it been, Silver Moon? (greetings) Nasu: The memories of the land (history), or the memories held by the relic brought in-I don’t think a summons would be possible if either of those were missing. There are cases where the summoner himself is the catalyst, so perhaps it’s just impossible to summon when it’s simply a case of “link/zero.” Takeuchi: So Sasaki had some sort of link to the Ryudouji (Ryudou Temple)? Nasu: He has nothing to do with Ryudouji. He merely trained on the mountain and died on that mountain. Takeuchi: So, it was the mountain… ？ ＜Silver Moon Mandao＞ 奈： 武： 奈： 武： 奈： 武：

[v] Fate/stay night Heaven’s Feel I. presage flower Animation Material - Kinoko and Takashi Q & A, p.22 [T]Official Translation Q: The mages call Heroic Spirits “Boundary Recording Bands (Ghost Liners),” but is this the actual terminology? And what does it symbolize?

Tiếng Việt Tiếng Nhật Q: The mages call Heroic Spirits “Boundary Recording Bands (Ghost Liners),” but is this the actual terminology? And what does it symbolize? <Someone at the far end> Nasu: They are not minions created by the Mages themselves, but minions called forth from the history of humanity itself, so they use the term “Ghost Liners” with the nuance that they are “calling forth a phenomenon that was once recorded.” It’s a liner based on the perception that servants are not living creatures but something more like scrolls and documents. Takeuchi: Oh, I see. It is true that Heroic Spirits is the common name and doesn’t sound like a Magecraft concept. Nasu: It’s a term that’s been around from the beginning of the beginning of Fate, even before I wrote the scenarios. But when Lord El-Melloi II’s Case Files was starting up, Mita asked me, “Is there an official term to address Heroic Spirits?” and I presented him with the term. To have it show up in the series world view after 15 years kinda ruins the mood. Takeuchi: Says the guy who’s been holding back a ton of settings for 20, even 30 years. ？ ＜Someone at the far end＞ 奈： 武： 奈： 武：

Tiếng Việt Tiếng Nhật Q: What do Sakura’s classmates think about her? Do the boys in her class say stuff like “I’m kind of interested in Matou” or something? <Misunderstanding Boy> Nasu: Sakura is very gloomy in the classroom, so no matter how pretty and how dangerous a body she has, she is alienated from the boys and slightly avoided by the girls. Takeuchi: I… I’m an unfortunate pretty girl… Nasu: Do stuff like that in Carnival Phantasm. The main storyline is supposed to be super serious. Takeuchi: Right. ？ ＜Misunderstanding Boy＞ 奈： 武： 奈： 武：

[v] Fate/stay night Heaven’s Feel I. presage flower Animation Material - Kinoko and Takashi Q & A, p.22 [T]Official Translation Q: By the hands of Zouken Matou, the True Assassin was summoned from the Mountain Gate Assassin, but was that a secret trick that was only possible because it was Zouken? Or can other mages suited to become Masters do something similar?

Tiếng Việt Tiếng Nhật Q: By the hands of Zouken Matou, the True Assassin was summoned from the Mountain Gate Assassin, but was that a secret trick that was only possible because it was Zouken? Or can other mages suited to become Masters do something similar? <Ojaki> Nasu: It was a secret trick that was possible only because Zouken properly knew the structure of the Holy Grail War. It was like, “What? There’s already an Assassin summoned forth!? Well then, I’ll use the body of that fake Assassin as ‘magical energy to use for summoning’ and summon the true Assassin. The numbers match up, so the Holy Grail will surely malfunction.” Takeuchi: The boss character’s rank depends on how many backdoor tricks he has up his sleeve. Nasu: Because he was the one who created the system, he knows about the backdoor (structural mistakes) that are dangerous if poked at. When boarded up with wook, it gets more and more distorted in shape, and you end up with a blubbery, big, fat Holy Grail War system! However, the Greater Grail itself is perfect in shape, so that remains beautiful forever. Takeuchi: Good for you, Grandpa Zouken. ？ ＜Ojaki＞ 奈： 武： 奈： 武：

Tiếng Việt Tiếng Nhật Q: Mr. Kuzuki vs. True Assassin wasn’t shown, but was Mr. Kuzuki defeated without being able to land a single blow on True Assassin? <Kyuhey> Nasu: He might have had some sort of a battle if it was a Servant that faced him head-on, but he was facing an assassin… The logic here is that when it’s an assassin vs. an assassin, the one who strikes first gets the perfect victory. Takeuchi: Though I wanted to see an all-out battle between a magecraft buffed Kuzuki by Caster versus True Assassin… ？ ＜Kyuhey＞ 奈： 武：

Tiếng Việt Tiếng Nhật Q: Was Sakura wearing short sleeves in February because the maiden within her wanted to show cute loungewear to Shirou? She was cute. <Ramuda> Nasu: Sakura burning up her inner maiden is worth 10 campfires. Takeuchi: Yup, that concept is an upgrade from miniskirts in the middle of winter. Was she not cold? Of course, she was cold! Nasu: A scary story is… that level of cold, compared to the torture she routinely goes through, is merely “cold” for Sakura. It probably isn’t “hard” for her. Takeuchi: SAKURA!! ？ ＜Ramuda＞ 奈： 武： 奈： 武：

Tiếng Việt Tiếng Nhật Q: There were different presentations in parts between the original story and the movie. The one that surprised me was the battle between True Assassin and Lancer. That battle must have created a large number of casualties and witnesses. How did the priest go about dealing with all of it afterwards? <Kohabu@Egg> Nasu: They entered a different city midway, so Kotomine probably pretended he didn’t know. Takeuchi: That was the first time we’ve seen expressways and stuff. Nasu: Probably in Chapter 2 we’ll have some aerial combat, and a helicopter will fall on Goto’s house. Takeuchi: And then ufo’s version of Himuro no Tenchi will begin… ？ ＜Kohabu@Egg＞ 奈： 武： 奈： 武：

Tiếng Việt Tiếng Nhật Q: Shaitan, the original owner of the cursed arm that is the True Assassin’s Noble Phantasm “Delusional Heartbeat,” is said to be “an evil spirit” or “demon god” or “demonic man” depending on the literature. What category does he fall under? Nasu: I believe “an evil spirit” would be the most correct nuance. An incarnation of a spirit that was tainted by the human world. However, the incarnation was after his fall, so most of his authority is already gone. It’s rough that I can’t just simply say that he’s the devil. Takeuchi: Why can’t you say so? Nasu: Think about each country’s characteristics. Takeuchi: Ooh…… ？ ＜Big Flag＞ 奈： 武： 奈： 武：

Tiếng Việt Tiếng Nhật Q: After the battle against Lancer, True Assassin looked up at the sky after eating the heart. What happened after that? Did he go pick up his Dirk like how it says in the settings? <Mangan> Nasu: “Heheheh…. Things are very useful nowadays, I can get as many Dirks as I want at 99-cent stores…” Takeuchi: The problem is that things are too useful. More like, big trouble in Fuyuki’s little 99-cent stores? Nasu: “Heheheh… though that squiggly thing that came from the bottom of the water is seriously scary… I don’t want to go anywhere near it…” Takeuchi: Of course, you wouldn’t. ？ ＜Mangan＞ 奈： 武： 奈： 武：

Tiếng Việt Tiếng Nhật Q: How was Zouken Matou controlling the dead Caster? <Starry Sky> Nasu: He applied his Crest Worms. He peeled off the vertebrae and squished in a bug that would mimic the spinal cord. Takeuchi: That’s some true artisan skills. I wouldn’t recommend amateurs to try. Nasu: Sometimes, I want to be controlled like that too. I could leave the bug to do my work, and I’ll go gather new materials. Takeuchi: What a sad creature… That aside, I’ll give you more work today… ？ ＜Starry Sky＞ 奈： 武： 奈：

Tiếng Việt Tiếng Nhật Q: How good of a Mage was Zouken in his prime? <Agnes Takajin> Nasu: Equivalent to Gordolf (an average third-tier noble Mage) x10. Takeuchi: Make it easier to understand and be more specific. Nasu: If we were to say his prime was “before joining up with the Einzberns,” he would fare well even against a servant, and can even win (probably against one Servant) under good conditions. He’s a Pride around level 70. Takeuchi: How many Kariya’s from Zero would it take? Nasu: Hohoho. No matter how many zeroes you get, it’s still zero. ？ ＜Agnes Takajin＞ 奈： 武： 奈： 武： 奈：

Tiếng Việt Tiếng Nhật Q: How did Archer have a clue about what the “Shadow” was? Did he encounter something like it in life, or did he stamp out something like it during his duties as a guardian? I’d love it if you could answer. <Deucalion> Nasu: I don’t think he encountered it while living. When you’re a guardian for a long time, you end up encountering things where “its existence itself is antagonistic to humans.” Takeuchi: The design orders for the octopus was something like: “an alien existence that would be recognizable at first sight; a materialization of a nightmare,” and it had been a while since I got shivers up my spine when I saw the footage. Nasu: I just love stuff like that! Japanese horror that silently appears in the corner of everyday life is the best! Takeuchi: The costumes that will appear in the second half is used as a motif by all sorts of characters but the pure octopus form was an unexpected reunion after 10 years, and I almost had a new story between me and octopus. ？ ＜Deucalion＞ 奈： 武： 奈： 武：

Tiếng Việt Tiếng Nhật Q: How often does Kotomine eat out at Taishan (Chinese Restaurant)? <Gyro> Nasu: When he feels like it. He usually tries to eat frugally at the Church. Takeuchi: When does he feel like it? Nasu: You know how humans have strange premonitions at times? Like that spark of intuition where you think, “Oh I think I can pull a good one with a summon ticket right now.” Stuff like that. So Kotomine himself can’t control it, either. Takeuchi: So, it’s not like he eats at the restaurant every day, then. ？ ＜Gyro＞ 奈： 武： 奈： 武：

[v] Fate/stay night Heaven’s Feel I. presage flower Animation Material - Kinoko and Takashi Q & A, p.22 [T]Official Translation Q: According to True Assassin, Servants cannot oppose the shadow, and pure Saber will lose her sanity merely by touching it. Does this “purity” refer to how she is a hero and not an anti-hero?

Tiếng Việt Tiếng Nhật Q: According to True Assassin, Servants cannot oppose the shadow, and pure Saber will lose her sanity merely by touching it. Does this “purity” refer to how she is a hero and not an anti-hero? Nasu: Correct. A straightforward Heroic Spirit has no tolerance against curses, so the Spirit Origin will be corrupted along with extreme pain. For an anti-hero, who is “closer by source,” there will be some corruption but no extreme pain, giving them a slight mental margin to think, “Oh, this isn’t good, this really sucks.” Takeuchi: So, to the certain darkest of darkness, it would be like soaking in the hot springs? Nasu: Right. But his anti-magical energy and stuff are at the lowest rank, so it’s like “it doesn’t hurt, but will get swallowed up instantly.” Though in his case, he would still take joy in things even after getting swallowed up, saying stuff like, “By the way, is there a manga cafe around here?” Takeuchi: I sense a spin-off in the works! Lethargic cynical everyday life manga, The darkest dark’s Holy Grail Living in the Cheap Lifestyle! ？ ＜S from Romania＞ 奈： 武： 奈： 武：

Tiếng Việt Tiếng Nhật Q: When Rin went into the insect hold, she was at a loss of words at its terrible sight. Just how much about Sakura and the current standings of the Matou household did Rin know at that time? <Helt> Nasu: Mages conceal their own teachings and spells, so she could only imagine what kind of teachings Sakura was receiving. Matou has their own way of teachings, and to try to find out what they would be equal to a deathmatch. Takeuchi: If she knew, she wouldn’t have let them be, either. Nasu: It’s such a sad tale when the hero you had so much faith in sending off ended up becoming a slave for a company that exploits employees… Takeuchi: In the end, they get promoted amazingly well, though… ？ ＜Helt＞ 奈： 武： 奈： 武：

[v] Fate/stay night Heaven’s Feel I. presage flower Animation Material - Kinoko and Takashi Q & A, p.22 [T]Official Translation Q: In the Fifth Holy Grail War that Archer was retracing, were the inner dealings of the Matou clan or Sakura’s circumstances known? If he had known, how did Sakura look through Archer’s eyes in this particular Holy Grail War?

Tiếng Việt Tiếng Nhật Q: In the Fifth Holy Grail War that Archer was retracing, were the inner dealings of the Matou clan or Sakura’s circumstances known? If he had known, how did Sakura look through Archer’s eyes in this particular Holy Grail War? <Black Pawn> Nasu: That Archer only has “memories of Saber” when it concerns the Holy Grail War. When he was summoned, seeing his summoned before him, he started to acknowledge things around Rin as “his own things.” The inner dealings of the Matou clan is something he didn’t know before turning into a Servant, and Sakura’s current circumstances were something he deduced after being summoned for the Holy Grail War. But that doesn’t necessarily mean that he would assist Sakura. Archer is Archer. It’s not the guy. Takeuchi: He remembers just Saber… you’re talking about the opening scene in the original game. Nasu: It’s not that he clearly remembers details. His memories are vague, and at the point where he was assigned as a guardian, his memories are all blended together chaotically regardless of past or future. So, he no longer has the sensation of “what he feels is beautiful” anymore. Just think the “first contact with Saber” was something engraved into his soul as an Art Graph. Also, how that young man met Saber and how he was involved is something completely different from that in stay night. ？ ＜Black Pawn＞ 奈： 武： 奈：

Tiếng Việt Tiếng Nhật Q: After seeing HF for the first time, what kind of conversations and comments were made among TYPE-MOON staff? <Smile> Nasu: Amazing! Just amazing! Takeuchi: Amazing! Just amazing! …were words that did not readily come out because they were probably completely floored. It had a strong enough impact that you could say we were all intoxicated. Nasu: It was the late-night premiere showing at Machi*Asobi, but we were all so excited afterwards that we couldn’t sleep. Meanwhile, Ms. Kawasumi was a part of the premiere showing the next day, and she left a heartwarming tale that she saw the movie even in her dreams. Takeuchi: Yeah. If that showed up in your dreams, it’s definitely a nightmare. ？ ＜Smile＞ 奈： 武： 奈： 武：

[v] Fate/stay night Heaven’s Feel II. lost butterfly Animation Material - Kinoko and Takashi Q & A, p.20 [T]Official Translation Q: When Shirou decided he will become a hero of justice for Sakura, what did Archer think?

Tiếng Việt Tiếng Nhật Q: When Shirou decided he will become a hero of justice for Sakura, what did Archer think? <Minazuki> Nasu: He acknowledged that “he is now completely different from myself” and didn’t pity or admire him. It’s something like a stern judge watching where a criminal will end up. Takeuchi: Hmm. So for Archer, it ended up being a parting from his own curse. Nasu: Perhaps, simply the fact that “it was possible for myself to pursue such a path” became somewhat of a salvation. Even if it had nothing to do with EMIYA, and was something that wasn’t tangible for him. ？ ＜Minazuki＞ 奈： 武： 奈：

[v] Fate/stay night Heaven’s Feel II. lost butterfly Animation Material - Kinoko and Takashi Q & A, p.20 [T]Official Translation Q: Even if Dark Saber were to accept Avalon from Shirou, would she be able to use it? If she could use it, would her Dark state be undone, or would it change characteristics?

Tiếng Việt Tiếng Nhật Q: Even if Dark Saber were to accept Avalon from Shirou, would she be able to use it? If she could use it, would her Dark state be undone, or would it change characteristics? <Godoh> Nasu: Too bad! Dark Saber doesn’t even try to look at a utopia...! Takeuchi: What do you mean? Nasu: She pursues a common ground that is more realistic, so she doesn’t even think about entering a utopia...It’s like “It’s good to pursue ideals. But humans die meaninglessly. That is how I will treat them.” Takeuchi: So that’s why Dark King likes junk food. Nasu: That may be a king’s way of relieving stress. There is nothing that soothes the heart than a burger when you want to be mad but can’t show anger... ？ ＜Godoh＞ 奈： 武： 奈： 武： 奈：

[v] Fate/stay night Heaven’s Feel II. lost butterfly Animation Material - Kinoko and Takashi Q & A, p.20 [T]Official Translation Q: Zouken Matou tells True Assassin “Don’t ruin everything by letting the Einzbern girl get away”. In the end, he let her get away, so did True Assassin get a lecture from Grandpa Zouken?

Tiếng Việt Tiếng Nhật Q: Zouken Matou tells True Assassin “Don’t ruin everything by letting the Einzbern girl get away”. In the end, he let her get away, so did True Assassin get a lecture from Grandpa Zouken? <Norimori> Nasu: If the result of putting your best effort results in a failure, grandpa will not give punishment. There was the irregularity of EMIYA as the antihero but that made an exit from the field so it would be simply scolding like “That’s enough, but there is no next time.” Takeuchi: Seriously? That’s like the ideal boss! Nasu: The conditions were pretty much a win for Zouken, so a big part of it was that even letting her get away here, he could recover from it. Takeuchi: I had the impression that he’d be a lot scarier. Nasu: He is kind to people who he thinks he can use. ？ ＜Norimori＞ 奈： 武： 奈： 武：

[v] Fate/stay night Heaven’s Feel II. lost butterfly Animation Material - Kinoko and Takashi Q & A, p.20 [T]Official Translation Q: The battle between Saber Alter and Berserker clearly wasn’t at a level that you could blame the gas company. How did Kotomine cover it all up?

Tiếng Việt Tiếng Nhật Q: The battle between Saber Alter and Berserker clearly wasn’t at a level that you could blame the gas company. How did Kotomine cover it all up? <Nunba> Nasu: There possibly can’t be any gas pipes running around there. Takeuchi: He leaked out a government conspiracy theory. Nasu: Oh, no way. It’s just a forest fire. A forest fire. Though it did get put out in an instant. Takeuchi: Yup. It’s something that happens often in the Fuyuki district. ？ ＜Nunba＞ 奈： 武： 奈： 武：

[v] Fate/stay night Heaven’s Feel II. lost butterfly Animation Material - Kinoko and Takashi Q & A, p.21 [T]Official Translation Q: If Saber Alter and Gilgamesh seriously fought each other, which of them would be stronger?

Tiếng Việt Tiếng Nhật Q: If Saber Alter and Gilgamesh seriously fought each other, which of them would be stronger? <Takenoko> Nasu: Dark Saber has lost what you call the protagonist’s compensation, or rather the glimmer of the stars. So a miracle wouldn’t happen against Gilgamesh, it would simply be a measure of their abilities... Takeuchi: If it’s not in life but as Servants, wouldn’t it change a lot depending on who the Master is? Nasu: Back when they were alive, both had extraordinary magical energy output so it would be a pure battle of firepower. With his omnipotence and cunning (INT), Gil is slightly advantageous here. If it’s a Servant battle, Dark Saber can win against Gil if the “Master’s capacity as a Mage” is high. Gil will win against Dark Saber if the “Master’s charm as a human” is high. Takeuchi: What does that mean? Nasu: It’s because Gilgamesh tries to fight only with his own power, regardless of his contractor being a first-rate or third-rate Mage. ？ ＜Takenoko＞ 奈： 武： 奈： 武： 奈：

[v] Fate/stay night Heaven’s Feel II. lost butterfly Animation Material - Kinoko and Takashi Q & A, p.21[T]Official Translation Q: I think Rin and Illya had suspicions about the true nature of the shadow before Shirou, but what was going through each of their minds emotionally?

Tiếng Việt Tiếng Nhật Q: I think Rin and Illya had suspicions about the true nature of the shadow before Shirou, but what was going through each of their minds emotionally? <Fruit Ponch Samurai M> Nasu: Rin was almost sure but with no “irrefutable evidence” she didn’t jump to conclusions, and is trying not to think (about killing her) until that time comes. Illya feels pity like “poor thing”. Takeuchi: In other words, Illya is looking at her like “I feel sorry for you, but you’re being sent to the hog farm tomorrow”? Nasu: That metaphor is as cold as the alleyways in England so I have some problems with that, but well yeah, something like that. Takeuchi: (whistles) Noblemen~! ？ ＜Fruit Ponch Samurai M＞ 奈： 武： 奈： 武：

[v] Fate/stay night Heaven’s Feel II. lost butterfly Animation Material - Kinoko and Takashi Q & A, p.21[T]Official Translation Q: What kind of reaction would Shinji have if he found out Archer’s true identity?

Tiếng Việt Tiếng Nhật Q: What kind of reaction would Shinji have if he found out Archer’s true identity? <Mizuame> Nasu: He’d laugh and not acknowledge it, like “There’s no way that can be true!” Takeuchi: Is there a chance Shinji can become Heroic Spirit SHINJI? Nasu: Even if someone like Rin were to explain the mechanics of the Heroic Spirit system in detail and prove how all the facts are related, he’d look bored and shoo Rin away, like “So what?” Takeuchi: He’s a guy that lives only in reality... ？ ＜Mizuame＞ 奈： 武： 奈： 武：

[v] Fate/stay night Heaven’s Feel II. lost butterfly Animation Material - Kinoko and Takashi Q & A, p.21[T]Official Translation Q: What did Sakura mean when she judged Kotomine as “he cannot beat me”? Did she get the chance to investigate into Kotomine’s characteristics and desires?

Tiếng Việt Tiếng Nhật Q: What did Sakura mean when she judged Kotomine as “he cannot beat me”? Did she get the chance to investigate into Kotomine’s characteristics and desires? <Kitsuneme Lambda> Nasu: As the Dark Grail, she instinctively felt that “I am stronger”. Takeuchi: Like she (Sakura) is advantageous 10-0 no matter what? Nasu: Right but well, I don’t think Sakura back then thought she was really holding his heart in her hand. ？ ＜Kitsuneme Lambda＞ 奈： 武： 奈：

[v] Fate/stay night Heaven’s Feel II. lost butterfly Animation Material - Kinoko and Takashi Q & A, p.21[T]Official Translation Q: If Sakura had stayed with the Tohsaka and Rin was adopted instead of Sakura into the Matou family, how would each of them have ended up?

Tiếng Việt Tiếng Nhật Q: If Sakura had stayed with the Tohsaka and Rin was adopted instead of Sakura into the Matou family, how would each of them have ended up? <Futaba> Nasu: In the end, Sakura couldn’t be handled by Tokiomi (the Imaginary attribute is too rare so Tokiomi who is simply a brilliant person couldn’t teach her) so she would be sent abroad to the Clock Tower or something⸺ Takeuchi: Rin would be Dark, and ultimately end up as the Heroic Spirit TOHSAKA. Please refer to Capsule Servant for more details. Nasu: Oh no, she wouldn’t end up like that... Takeuchi: But she already has! ？ ＜Futaba＞ 奈： 武： 奈： 武：

[v] Fate/stay night Heaven’s Feel II. lost butterfly Animation Material - Kinoko and Takashi Q & A, p.22[T]Official Translation Q: If Sakura had been sent to the Edelfelt family instead, what kind of life would she have led?

Tiếng Việt Tiếng Nhật Q: If Sakura had been sent to the Edelfelt family instead, what kind of life would she have led? From looking at the Case Files, it seems Edelfelt is quite out there as well. <Marumaru> Nasu: A babyfaced super-dark heel character would be created. Takeuchi: Bondage Sakura…! Nasu: Seriously speaking, Luvia is of a similar disposition as Rin but believes in aristocratism, so she would prioritize strengthening her talent. As a result, you have a cool and dark yet good-natured top tier Mage. Takeuchi: That’s a wonderful thing~ ？ ＜Marumaru＞ 奈： 武： 奈： 武：

[v] Fate/stay night Heaven’s Feel II. lost butterfly Animation Material - Kinoko and Takashi Q & A, p.22[T]Official Translation Q: Did Zouken have a choice to become a Dead Apostle when he sought immortality? If he did, I'd like to know why he didn't transform into a Dead Apostle.

Tiếng Việt Tiếng Nhật Q: Did Zouken have a choice to become a Dead Apostle when he sought immortality? If he did, I'd like to know why he didn't transform into a Dead Apostle. <Pon De> Nasu: If you become a vampire, the Holy Church will be after you all the time, so he couldn't take that risk. If his objective (goal) was to become "immortal", he may have turned into a vampire, but other than that, well, it's whether or not he had the talent to become a vampire. There are only about 27 idiosyncratic people like a certain Ms Yumizuka and her "You thought I was common? but I'm actually SSR!" in this world! Takeuchi: What? Aren't there actually a few more out there? Nasu: Yeah, let's say we undercounted and add about three more. ？ ＜Pon De＞ 奈： 武： 奈：

[v] Fate/stay night Heaven’s Feel II. lost butterfly Animation Material - Kinoko and Takashi Q & A, p.22[T]Official Translation Q: There are various departments in the Clock Tower, but what department did Zolgen Makiri belong to when he was in the Clock Tower? Since he had written a paper about Ghost Liners, was he in Spiritual Evocation?

Tiếng Việt Tiếng Nhật Q: There are various departments in the Clock Tower, but what department did Zolgen Makiri belong to when he was in the Clock Tower? Since he had written a paper about Ghost Liners, was he in Spiritual Evocation? <Silver Moon Madao> Nasu: Likely Botany and Curses. He probably reached the Einzbern as part of the research to reach the Root, and thought he could prove the existence of Ghost Liners which are a permanent and not temporary way for a soul to be. Takeuchi: So Heroic Spirit summons are all thanks to Einzbern? Nasu: Heroic Spirit summons in itself is Magecraft from the Clock Tower. Einzbern are descendants of alchemists that succeeded just once in the "materialization of a soul". So it all stems from the hypothesis that if you have the Einzbern system (Holy Grail) you can summon a Heroic Spirit which was previously thought to be impossible. Takeuchi: I see. That's it. Did you get that, Madao? ？ ＜Silver Moon Madao＞ 奈： 武： 奈： 武：

Tiếng Việt Tiếng Nhật Q: Can Sakura in the other routes live just like other ordinary girls? Even if she doesn’t run out of control like in the HF route, I’m worried about how the insects affect her. <Dyumi> Nasu: ……… Takeuchi: Why are you silent? Nasu: ……… Takeuchi: Say something.

[v] Fate/stay night Heaven’s Feel II. lost butterfly Animation Material - Kinoko and Takashi Q & A, p.22-23[T]Official Translation Q: Was the spell for Heroic Spirit summons something that the Three Families came up with?

Tiếng Việt Tiếng Nhật Q: Was the spell for Heroic Spirit summons something that the Three Families came up with? <Kariyan the Shut-In Cat> Nasu: The original text exists elsewhere, but they made an arrangement in the details so that the wishes of the Three Families are embedded, Kariyan. Takeuchi: Wishes? Nasu: "The eradication of all XXXX from this world" are their... or rather, Zolgen and Justeaze's wishes. Nagato Tohsaka just kept an eye on how those two felt. Takeuchi: You get a glimpse into complicated relationships there. ？ ＜Kariyan the Shut-In Cat＞ 奈： 武： 奈： 武：

[v] Fate/stay night Heaven’s Feel II. lost butterfly Animation Material - Kinoko and Takashi Q & A, p.23[T]Official Translation Q: BAD END 30 in the original game (which fans call the "Ironhearted END") Kotomine declares that Shirou will decide to kill Zouken, Ilya, and Rin to survive until the end. How does he go about killing all three of them?

Tiếng Việt Tiếng Nhật Q: BAD END 30 in the original game (which fans call the "Ironhearted END") Kotomine declares that Shirou will decide to kill Zouken, Ilya, and Rin to survive until the end. How does he go about killing all three of them? <Hero of Justice> Nasu: With how weaklings stand in mind, and with disregard to personal safety, he spares nothing engaging in one kill per person. He basically creates "if I can swing things into this situation there is a 1 (Shirou) to 9 (opponent) chance of winning, and a loss is instant death" situations and survives until the end. Takeuchi: A Holy Grail War is something you can win like that? Nasu: Barely if you use time, luck, and humanity and everything else as tools to win. But these tools disappear once you use them. You can't ever replenish them, either. Takeuchi: Great tasks cannot be completed while sane. And that's why you call doing these things that of the ironhearted, I guess... ？ ＜Hero of Justice＞ 奈： 武： 奈： 武：

[v] Fate/stay night Heaven’s Feel II. lost butterfly Animation Material - Kinoko and Takashi Q & A, p.23[T]Official Translation Q: In the ending credits for this movie, the role played by Ms. Kawasumi was "Saber Alter". What are the definitions for "Dark" and "Alter" in this work?

Tiếng Việt Tiếng Nhật Q: In the ending credits for this movie, the role played by Ms. Kawasumi was "Saber Alter". What are the definitions for "Dark" and "Alter" in this work? Nasu: Dark is when "something that was white is contaminated and turns black". Basically falling to the Dark Side. In Fate/stay night, it just doesn't flow well to say "Dark Saber" so that later got the "Alter" title. Originally, "Alter" would be an affix for when "that Heroic Spirit is summoned with an alternate side/interpretation". No matter how different they are, they are the same Heroic Spirit. Takeuchi: When a Dark Servant is called Alter, it just looks cool on paper, too. By the way. Alterego is also categorized as an alternate take, but is it okay to understand that it's different and separate from Alter? Nasu: Alterego is when "one persona of that Heroic Spirit gains independence as a separate entity" so it is categorized as a separate individual. Altria and Altria Alter are the same person, but "BB" and "Passionlip" are different people, right? Takeuchi: It just gets confusing because there is an Alterego named "Okita Alter". ？ ＜＞ 奈： 武： 奈： 武：

[v] Fate/stay night Heaven’s Feel III. spring song Animation Material - Kinoko and Takashi Q & A, p.35[T]Official Translation Q: Is Zelretch's name that well known?

Tiếng Việt Tiếng Nhật Q: Is Zelretch's name that well known? Nasu: Old bloodlines teach their children his name, and even young families have heard that "in the Clock Tower the great magician who led the World of Magecraft into battle long ago is still alive". Those who rise to the rank of Cause may eventually hear of another Magician by the name of Yumina. Takeuchi: Is Zelretch still a vampire in Fate worlds? Nasu: No, but he's got something along the lines of immortality all the same. ？ ＜＞ 奈： 武： 奈：

[v] Fate/stay night Heaven’s Feel III. spring song Animation Material - Kinoko and Takashi Q & A, p.34-35[T]Official Translation Q: Looking at Case Files Information, it sounds like the First Magic was made later than Third Magic? (Also I seem to like you sleep all day?)

Tiếng Việt Tiếng Nhật Q: Looking at Case Files Information, it sounds like the First Magic was made later than Third Magic? (Also I seem to like you sleep all day?) Nasu: HOW YOUNG!! Instead of sleeping all day, I spend almost everyday just sleeping!! To return to the main topic, the situation is somewhat complicated. The Third Magic itself existed before the Common Era, but it disappeared alongside the End of the Gods (It cannot be recreated), and 1000 years later the one who recreated it was Juzteaze. The reason why the First is called the First is a very special reason to its special nature. Takeuchi: You know for awhile now, this corner have been asking us the Setting Information that we haven't revealed properly yet. How impressive. Nasu: This is probably the last time for this, so I decided to take all the question without resorting to just jokes, at least the ones I can right now. ロード・エルメロイII世の事件簿のマチリアルによると、第三魔法は紀元前100年ごろから伝わっていたようですが、第一魔法の使い手が誕生したのはAD第一魔法の方があとに成立したといたとでしょうか?？ ＜たまに一日い＞ 奈： 若いな!いいコトです!こっちはた。まにどころか毎日1日中眠いです。それはそれとして、ちょいここややこしいのですが、第三魔法そのものは西日以前らあったものの、神代の終わりと共に失(実現不可)になってしまいました。すこれを1000年たって再現可能状態にしたのがユスティーツァとなります。また、一魔法が「第一」と分類されるのは、その特性も関与しています。 武： さっきから知らない設定がどんどん示されていく……このコーナーすげえ…… 奈： 最後だからか、みんな遊びのない質が多かったんだよ。こっちも最後だからできるだけ答えています。

[v] Fate/stay night Heaven’s Feel III. spring song Animation Material - Kinoko and Takashi Q & A[T]Official Translation Q: Would Lord El-Melloi II still need to dismantle the Grail after Heaven's Feel?

Tiếng Việt Tiếng Nhật Q: Would Lord El-Melloi II still need to dismantle the Grail after Heaven's Feel? Nasu: With the thing that broken, it'd be more of a removal than a dismantling, but still yeah, someone has to put on the work make sure it can never operate again. Takeuchi: I mean, logically, if you have a device that can change the world, you can't just break it and call it a day. Nasu: Opening an event is a lot of work, and cleaning up after it's done is just as much work... This words have been hitting me very close to home for the past 20 years. ？ ＜＞ 奈： 武： 奈：
