1. Before the battle
14 linesOkay. Then let's get the killing started.
Mad King. ...Do you intend to hand over the Grail?
Not at all. That was my geis. While Medb may have been a helplessly wicked woman
She used a wish granter with the power to dominate an era without hesitation to seize just the heart of one man... Me.
Very well, this is my wish: To make Cú Chulainn king. A wicked king, enough to rival even me.
For her, I may have been a toy to discard when she got tired of me, but I should admire her spirit at least.
That's why I've abandoned all joy, and continue to fight. Now, and forever.
Besides, all of you
You've gotten in my way so many times until now. Do you think I'd just let you live?
Come, brats. What happens when you pick fights with an Ulster warrior
I'll teach you by tearing your bodies to pieces, and crushing your very bones!
Mash! Master! This is the final battle! Don't back down now! If you let down your guard for even a moment, we'll die!
Fou! Fou! Fou!
...Let's go! Master, bring us victory!
2. Before the battle
10 lines...
His form...changed!?
It seems the Holy Grail's wish is still driving him. "A better king"in his case, "stronger."
He's going to attack with even more strength than before! Be careful!
...Hah ...Hah ...Hah!
Oh tree of mourning, sharpen your fangs! "Yew Bow!"
Oh man, this isn't good. It's not working at all!
Manager, give me some water! My throat's all dry!
...By manager, you mean me!? That being said, I do have water!
I won't lose!
3. After the battle
25 lines...Edison, Mr. Edison. You already know, don't you?
...
Stand up. Stand, and fight.
Aren't you an American? Aren't you a pioneer who traded the sword for an axe and gun?
While you believe in the occult, you refused to rely on such powers.
That aspect of you was why I shared a friendship with you
That's why everyone followed you. To reject the unknown and dream of the future. That was your greatest merit.
Now, you must
... ...
Ah, oh no!
Hey, lady!?
... ???
Huh? I'm fine?
How difficult it truly is to stand up and fight.
That's right. It is difficult.
But one is a hero because one treads past countless despair.
If I keep forcing such burdens upon such a little lady... I'd be a disgrace to America!
Hahahaha! I'll show you the heroic figure of the true King of Inventions! "World Faith Domination!"
...Amazing!
I know, right?
With that, my live concert can shine brighter than usual! All glittery! And sparkly! And dragony!
...I never assumed it would be used like that...
Edison has now stood up as well.
But... Even if all five of us fight, I don't know how many more minutes we can last.
...If only there was something else... Something that would give us an edge...
4. Before the battle
14 linesHis form... Again!
We should be wearing him down, but it doesn't feel like that at all!
As expected of the Child of Light. He might just be the strongest Lancer in the world!
Stillwe cannot lose.
Y-You need to hurry! The northern front won't hold much longer!
Just a reminder. If they lose, America loses! At that point, it's highly likely this era will collapse!
Understood, Doctor... But... But!
Not enough. This still isn't enough to defeat me!
We need to do it! Master, please give us your orders!
We need to trust the guys at the northern front!
Got it!
Full speed ahead!
?!
Fou!
5. After the battle
133 linesGah!?
You need healing... Augh!
Robin Hood! Blavatsky!
Guh... Something of this size is difficult to knock chi into...
No one can go on... I must at least evacuate everyone else
What would be the point in that, you idiot!? I-I can...still fight!
Guh...
No, you mustn't move... ...You can't fight anymore...
Desertion... Treason... Back talk! Those are the things I hate the most... So...
I can... Still fight!
...Then I have no choice!
Blavatsky! Take care of them!
Noble Phantasm overload"World Faith Domination!"
Wait... Self-destruction!?
Don't stop me! This is the only thing I can think of now!
Hey, stop it, Old Man Edison!
I admire your courage, but you might not even last one minute!
I don't care!
I have a duty to protect youeveryone, for a little while longer!
Not as the Presi-king of America! Not as King of Inventions! Not even as Thomas Alva Edison!
But because I am human!
I have a duty as a human who, in the distant future, will exploit this land and inhabit this nation!
Edison... You mustn't...
Farewell, my friends. Trust in Fujimaru.
I'm sure he will surely lead you to victory
Edison!
...
...
...
...Huh...
...What...
Hahahahaha! How unsightly! How unsightly of you, Edison!
You're ordinary after all, unfit to stand before me! Hang your head in shame, and begone immediately!
...This... This disgusting voice... And this pointless laugh...
D-Don't tell me... You're...
I'll tell you! I am the true genius, the one given the duty of pioneering the stars, I am
Hysteric! It's you, Mr. Hysteric!
I'm Nikola Tesla!
You're kidding! Nikola Tesla!?
Guh, nnnnn! To appear at a time like this, as always...
What a man with good timing you are! And you say that you of all people, intend to help me!?
You must be joking! Even if I was summoned a thousand times, I would never help you!
I intend to save this era And those whom I owe a debt to.
I caused them a bit of trouble in England, after all.
That relic from the Age of Gods is destined to disappear, due to the power of electricity I paved the path to.
Edison. Just stand aside and witness the beauty of my grand lightning!
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah Hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!
Mmph, that laugh sounds like he's been practicing it every morning in front of a mirror! Such meticulous planning, fit for a genius!
But don't mess with me, Tesla! In the end, you're nothing more than an eccentric that stood out!
A true genius is universal! You're not one to talk! You couldn't even find a wife! You stayed single your whole life!
Fool. That just means no woman was able to match me. Genius begets a solitary life. You really are an ordinary man.
I'm not ordinary! I'm a CEO! I'm tired of seeing geniuses! People like Bell!
A CEO must use geniuses well! You don't even understand that!? Fool! You fool!
...Hey. Old Man Edison. Isn't he being really childish right now!?
Yes, yes. Okay, geniuses. It's about time to start dealing with reality.
Even the power of electricity can't defeat these monsters.
...Hmph. I wasn't summoned by that strange man to defeat those things.
That Master is the one fighting, correct? Then, I simply have to keep these monsters sealed away.
...An electrical cage.
Hah. I suppose even an ordinary man would realize it if I gave away these many hints.
Now, out of the way! "System Keraunos!"
Feel the power of the thunder and lightning of a new legend!
What!? Maybe I held back too much!
Hah!
You always choke at the very end. That's why people never write decent biographies about you.
By the way, my biography is distributed globally.
Why you!
This is true electricity, true thunder!
...Tch.
...Tch.
Fine, we must work together. Of course, since I have the higher power output. Sync with me.
That much I agree with. All right then. I'll overload it a bit and continuously hit those eerie monsters
Yes. We'll hit them with enough lightning to keep killing an immortal monster until the end of time.
...Here goes!
Got it. Noble Phantasmactivate!
Thunder and lighting, descend!
Bring light to this world that has plunged into darkness!
"World Faith Domination!" "System Keraunos!"
So, what do we do now?
I just told you! Our only duty is to keep those things sealed away!
I hate to admit it, but even among ancient relics that should vanish one day, some items have their uses.
That's...
I'm observing an enormous amount of Ether!
What!? What exactly is happening
Expanding sacred domain. Domain secured. Setting divine punishment enforcement limits. Calculating amount of time needed for magical energy convergence and acceleration.
Countdown.
It's Arjuna!
Please evacuate at once, if you could. I'll try to keep the range as small as possible, but
I will sacrifice myself with this attack, after all. I won't be holding back.
...A weapon... From the Age of Gods... A Divine Construct?
G-Get away! We'll be consumed by it too!
By the rage of Shiva, your life ends here. "Pashupata" Take this!
...You're kidding... He did it?
We won...
It would seem so...
We really did it, Robin!
...Although I've got mixed feelings, as a fellow Archer. Man, it's a big world out there.
...Now that I've finished my duty here, I must hurry and attend to my other business.
Pardon me.
Hahaha!
His Noble Phantasm may have dealt the finishing blow, but it was MY electrical skills that contained those giants!
Cease your delusions, Edison. You were simply backup. Mere support.
It was Nikola Tesla's electricity that sealed those monsters. If I had full power, I could've blown up the whole continent!
...Hmm, I could argue about that if I wanted to, but... I'm in an extremely good mood right now.
I'll just leave it at that. Period, times infinity.
What?
...What? Do you want to fight?
Of course not. I wouldn't lend an ear to the jokes of an ordinary man
Oops, my hand slipped.
Oops, my electricity slipped.
...
...
Um, they've started fighting.
Just leave them. The war's over. They're free to hurt each other however they want.
...Even the articles of William Hearst wouldn't contain such absurd spectacles.
Heh, but those two are both heading down the proper path...
That path just happens to be narrow, so they always end up fighting each other.
In the past, those who wished to see happiness for others were forced to take up the sword.
If they didn't rule through violence, no one would know happiness.
...But those two were different. They fought not with swords, but with their intellect.
In other words, they're proof that humanity slowly progressedthe fruit of history itself.
Do you understand that, Beowulf? Your side never had a chance of victory from the very start.
They've brought happiness and fortune to far more people...than your side ever could.
...So it's not an era of strength anymore, huh? How sad.
Perhaps so. To move forward and make progress, something must be lost.
Brilliant tales of heroes vanish, and what's left is mostly bland and uninteresting
But these scholars and eccentrics share the same passion of "making a nameless someone happy" and work their hardest to achieve that.
...I see. But for now, you still need some strength like mine, right?
That's right. Farewell, Beowulf.
Hope you're summoned by Fujimaru next time.
Hahahahaha! Sounds great, that may give me more fun than I had this time!
6. Before the battle
28 linesY-You, you did it! Everyone, we won!
The "Clan Calatin" at the northern front has completely vanished!
And Cú Chulainn's finished as well!
Confirmed Spirit Origin collapse! Heroic Spirit Cú Chulainn's materialization is fading!
This is the end, Cú Chulainn!
...Tch. Geez, looks like I've lost my touch...
...Well. This is the end of the Mad King Cú Chulainn's role.
Howeverbefore I'm done, I've got to summon the Demon God guarding the Holy Grail.
Good luck, brats.
O Holy Grail. The ultimate vessel to make wishes come true.
Manifest. Remember. You have joined the 72 Demon Gods!
There's still more!? Ugh, my Noble Phantasm's has just about run out.
Cú Chulainn...is far too powerful!
No way... We're already at the limit of our power! We can't keep fighting consecutive battles like this
I shall sever all that is poisonous, and all that is harmfulNightingale Pledge!
My wounds!
Master, now is the time to save lives. I shall treat your wounds. Everything will be as it was before.
Over, and over, as many times as it takes. To crush the outrageous, to overcome despair.
For that, I offer everything I have.
Nightingale!
One of the 72 Demon God Pillars... Rank number 38. The Demon of War, Halphas.
War will never vanish from this world. Weapons will never disappear from this world.
Mortals are fated to continue fighting, turning like screws in an endless cycle.
No! No! I deny it! I shall shout it tens of thousands of times!
When the lives saved outnumber those lost, the spiral of conflict should eventually cease turning!
No, I'll MAKE it cease. That is my task, as a Servant.
So begone from this world, Demon God. I shall never give up, even if it means a thousand deaths!
I am the one who bestows conflict. You who wish for peace in your hearts... You are unnecessary!
7. After the battle
143 linesHoly Grail recovery... Mission complete! But... There were too many sacrifices...
What are you saying? We're Servants. We were summoned to fight, and destined to fight for salvation.
This battle was on an epochal scale.
Some might regret that they never finish the fight, but none of them run away from it.
See them off with a smile.
Sigh, I'm tired! France, then Rome, and now America!
Sheesh, you should know when to stop calling for encores.
You've already been summoned three times!? Why? Is there some sort of demand for virgin girls?
W-Wh-Who are you calling a virgin!? If you say it again, I'll hit you with my mic, you pervert!
Yeah, yeah. Still, I'd say our Master's pretty good.
This is the fifth one, right? How many hells have they ventured into...
Yes, although they're still far from my ideal Master
But I quite like their spirit, constantly reaching for the stars!
Anyway, Robin. I'll be going first.
Yeah, take care. Sigh, I wonder if I'll be called again.
...Maybe I should study up on effective traps, for every era and location.
Mr. Edison. The world was saved, isn't that wonderful?
Yes... That's right, this was for the best.
We are "e pluribus unum." Even America cannot stand alone.
I gave in to despair, and thought only of this nation... That was my first blunder.
...I think that's fine.
In the end, it's because you fought back that you were able to keep this nation safe before they arrived.
There might be countless mistakes during the process, but finding the correct answer from those is what Edison does best, right?
...That's right.
Hah. Just like an ordinary man of action.
You encounter needless troubles because you rush blindly into challenges without understanding the theories.
...What, you mean empty theories? Like those of a certain someone.
Huh?
What?
You two could at least try to get along when it's time to depart...
...It's about time. Mr. Edison, I'm glad I was able to fight alongside you.
Mr. Tesla, I recognize you're a genius, but you should learn to fit in with others.
...I say that, but I suppose you're a genius because you didn't learn to fit in...
It seems difficult to be a genius.
Good grief. To think I'd join forces with you of all people to save this nation.
There are things unthinkable in our lifetimes. That's just what it means to be a Servant, Mr. Ordinary.
Hah. I will be summoned again, and this time I will fight for his sake.
This time as a proper Servant... along with Karna and Blavatsky.
...Hmph. This is as irritating as static electricity. To think my conclusions are the same as an ordinary man's.
Yesbut it's the truth. If opportunity arises, this thunder god shall fight for humanity. Though...
I'll have no issues if I'm summoned first, but that is something that depends on luck...
Nightingale!
Yes?
When I was about to fall to my knees, your voice helped me stand again.
...Thank you very much!
There's no need to thank me. That's how our agreement was originally, anyway.
It seems the treatment is complete. We healed the injuries of an entire nation, not just an individual.
Yeah, thanks to you.
Thank you.
?!
While gratitude is unnecessary, I'll accept it respectfully. However, in exchange...
Please, allow me to shake your hand, Mr. Fujimaru.
My secret pleasure was to shake a patient's hand like this when they were discharged from hospital.
Of course, gladly.
Don't worry, I'll adjust my strength accordingly. Anyway, stay healthy, my Master.
You have a rather cute side.
...Cute isn't quite the right expression. Joy of this sort is just good etiquette as a nurse.
...Good grief. To think you're still well enough to make such a bad joke. It seems I've underestimated you, Master.
?!
Sorry to interrupt a good scene. With the Holy Grail's recovery, the era correction will begin soon!
Preparations for the Rayshift are complete. It's time to part ways.
This time...there were far too many Servants who had to die for us to get to this point.
While I know parting is sad and painful, you still emerged victorious.
You can return with pride. That's the greatest respect you can pay them.
Yes... Anyway, Nightingale, we'll be going now
Miss Mash. Before that, may I have a word?
My wish is to eliminate hospitals from the world.
That is, adequate medical care being available in every home.
I didn't think that, even after 100 years, it wouldn't have been achieved...
But there's one thing I still believe in. That someday, illness will be eradicated completely.
No more patients will die filled with despair and resentment.
I'll no longer have to oversee the final agonizing moments of soldiers that have respected me.
That's why I fought. Both now, and forever into the future.
There's no reason for you to feel any guilt. I did this for my own goals.
You too must continue to live... for yours.
...Yes. Thank you very much, Chief Nurse.
Miss Mash. Dreams and wishes are different things.
My wish isn't my dream. The moment people classify something as a dream, they misunderstand it as something far away.
Constantly facing reality, understanding the numbers, and fighting thoroughly is what opens a path to one's wishes.
Sobbing must be trampled, resignation must be crushed. That is the one and only path that humans can walk.
Master. I have as much trust in you as my kindred spirit, Sidney Herbert.
Please, continue to support Miss Mash. May there always be light along your path.
Farewell. I look forward to the day we meet again.
...The path to one's wishes...is opened by fighting...
Ahem, it seems I'm the last. Mash, Master...
My wish has not been fulfilled yet, but still... I'm proud of many things that happened during this battle.
I was able to rescue Sita. In record time, no less.
But above all, I was able to meet you. I find this bond as precious as Sita and my younger brother Lakshmana.
If I could become your Servant once again, that would bring me the greatest joy possible.
Thus, this is the only thing I have to say. May we meet again!
Yes. See you again!
...So it was no good.
...No, that's not true.
...I'm quite surprised.
Taking a lethal wound and still surviving is how a Servant is, and how I am.
All that means is some of the skills I've acquired over my long life have proven useful.
Still, Cú Chulainn really was the strongest. Even though their timing was impeccable... To think they could actually defeat him...
I should say I'm impressed.
Now then, that leaves just one more promise
Very well, I'll fulfill my agreement. Although, now with the Holy Grail's power gone, this world is correcting itself.
There's time for a single round at most
I don't mind. After fighting with Beowulf, I think a single strike is my limit now.
Your proposition is convenient for me, if anything.
...I see. Although simply vanishing would be less painful, I'd imagine.
A chance to fight the famed queen of the Land of Shadows? If I miss this chance, it'll probably be gone for eternity.
I don't mind if it's just a single round. Scáthach, do you happen to know my nickname?
...Yes. Your nickname means that you only need one strike to defeat any opponent. Something that any warrior would admire.
"No Second Strike" If so, I shall put everything I have behind this single strike as well.
Heh. I'd want no less.
Very well.
An honest
Match!
Hey, you managed to pull through again, somehow.
This means the United States of America, a nation essential to history, was successfully established.
In any case, good work. We'll secure the Holy Grail that you recovered.
Both of you should go back to your rooms and get some rest. I'll tell you about the next plan later.
Understood, Doctor. Let's get going to our rooms, Senpai.
May I ask something? Many sad things happened on this journey, as always.
That's why it might be a littleinappropriate, to say something like this.
But... I'm having fun.
Travelling to different parts of the world and eras with you. We meet many people and heroes.
This time, we went to America, and got to meet regional heroes like Geronimo and Billy...
And we got to witness Nightingale's incredibly strong conviction.
Putting good and bad asideeven the enemies we met with possessed vivid personalities, in their own ways.
...It's amazing. I'm sure no mage could experience such a journey.
Our journey will never go down in history. It'll be one engraved only within our memories.
I want to cherish these memories forever and ever. ...That's how I feel.
I feel the same.
Let's cherish them.
?!
Anyway, I'll be going now.
Oh, don't lie down right away just because you're tired.
You should take a shower to relax your body before going to sleep.
Yup. Good night, see you tomorrow.
You did well, Mash.
?!
Yes. Let's do our best next time too.
Huh?
Fou?
Sen...pai... S-Strange... I can't... stand
...Mash?
?!
Fou! Fou, fou!
