More of my thoughts on this anime will be included in the series review. There are a number of issues that bugged me with this series, but I am certainly glad I watched it, and it was great to see so much of Waver, who I really like in Fate/Zero. Actually, the end of the episode sort of made me happy. It didn’t make me cry, this scene, but it came really fucking close. Waver clarifies that his own battle must be in reality and not chasing after the past or dwelling on dreams. Even though it’s only a dream, Waver gets to enjoy a few wonderful minutes talking with the Heroic Spirit that we all know love, Rider. Waver goes to sleep on the couch and in his dream he is standing in the shallows of the sea and can see Iskandar just a little bit ahead of him. WTF? Waver can be handsome? Well, this is magical world after all, haha. Oh yeah, and when Gray finally, finally gives him the gift she got in episode 6, Waver accepts it readily and with a handsome smile. Because, after all, Heartless is abusing the power of Iskandar and he still has the shred of Iskandar’s Mantle. Why? Hasn’t Waver been fixated on the chance to see Iskandar again, for 13 episodes? Yes, but he’s simply switched to a new fixation: hunting down Heartless and Faker (Hephaestion) and bringing them to justice. Waver tells her that he has stepped down as a mage candidate for the Fifth Holy Grail War. Gray is with him and tells him she respects and so on. Waver seems a little down so he gets drunk I mean a little tipsy in his study.

Apparently several more of Waver’s students have done the same. After that, we see Svin graduating to the third rank in the Clock Tower, called Pride. They talk about some shit, like how Waver used his own Magic Crest as collateral for the loans to pay off the debt of Reines. (Note: also, apparently, Heartless isn’t dead.) To reunite like family? To kill each other? IDK. They meet Adashino who says that Heartless is her older brother-in-law and her goal was to lure him out. All those kids that Waver teaches hassle him while he’s in the hospital, but finally, he and gray get discharged. I’m only finishing covering this series because if I don’t it means I fucking failed. I swear, at this point, my enjoyment level is like nonexistent. I’m having sooo much fucking trouble paying any attention. But Gray uses the lance of Arturia to finally kill both Hephaestion and Heartless.Īpparently, Karabo Frampton died. Oh wait, no, somehow, she magically still alive.

Once the Grail is destroyed, Hephaestion puts up a final fight but gets killed by Karabo, Gray, and Waver. Then, surprise! The front car of the Rail Zeppelin transforms into a weird transforming train… with a face? Anyway, it uses the power of some Mystic Eyes to shoot powerful magic at the monstrous Grail. Olga-Marie used magic and made Heartless’ Grail materialize. But it looks like something like this happened. I am/was having hardest time giving a shit about this show anymore, and it’s hard to pay a shred of attention. Karabo helps out since he got his Eyes back. Gray and Waver pursue the villains and fight them on top of the train. But it turns out she’s not Hephaestion but a magical body double for Iskandar.

Now that we’re done talking about Who-dun-wut-how-and-why, Heartless calls Hephaestion and escapes with her. The Heartless dude just wanted a Heroic Spirit to serve him because IDK that sounds fun? The final steps were securing the Mystic Eyes of Karabo and Trisha. This little Heartless shit killed all those people seven years ago to steal their Mystic Eyes and thereby block other mages from finding out that his Holy Grail variant is not, in fact, the Greater Grail. What he created is a Holy Grail “variant” which does not grant wishes but which allows for the summoning of Heroic Spirit Servants. And he did it by fucking with the leylines in a certain way. So what the fuck did this Heartless dude want to achieve? He wanted to create a Holy Grail. Anyway, the real Caules, along with Reines, used magic to fly to the Rail Zeppelin and prove this. That’s the stupidest name I’ve heard in anime to date. His real identity is some mage briefly mentioned in a previous episode as the man without a heart, Dr. The perpetrator was just mimicking Caules’ appearance and personality. (It may be a few months before it’s ready.) Anyway, let’s rant!Ĭaules did it. I’ll have more to say about the anime overall in my series review. Welcome to Anime Rants! What follows is a brief recap of the last two episodes of Lord El-Melloi II, with a few of my thoughts included.
