After getting rid of the monster Hercules, the Chaldean group finally returned to the foot of the mountain.
Compared to the high spirits when they set out from school, the team now looked downcast.
The purple armor on Mash's body was already damaged. She was holding up the big shield with both hands and breathing slightly.
Although Ritsuka and the director were not injured, the high-speed run and deadly hide-and-seek almost took away half their lives.
Even Cu Chulainn, who was in the best condition, was covered in dust and looked very different from his handsome image when he first appeared.
At this time, Ritsuka seemed a little confused. He didn't know whether it was right to continue fighting.
He is not a born hero, but an ordinary person who was caught up in it.
But compared to himself, Ritsuka was more worried about Mash beside him.
This weak girl was forced to endure things that she shouldn't have to endure in order to protect this half-baked person.
He, who had always been lazy, finally wanted to do something for the first time. He wanted to help Mash.
Perhaps as an ordinary person, he cannot fight for Mash, but at least he wants to be a qualified Master.
At this moment, Fujimaru Ritsuka's thoughts began to slowly change.
Two-thirds of the movie has passed at this point, and all the necessary information for the prologue has been given, and all that remains is the final battle.
Just like playing chess, when all the pieces are in place, it's time to enter the final stage.
Although there was an unexpected incident with Hercules, everyone finally decided to proceed according to the plan.
Let Cu Chulainn hold Archer, while the others will directly face Black Saber for checkmate.
It's not that everyone is inflexible, but that they can't think of a better battle plan.
It is not known whether Archer is stupid or he believes that the people of Chaldea are no match for Black Saber.
This time, everyone's plan went very smoothly.
A low female voice was heard in the background, and with special sound processing, the audience heard an echo effect.
Such music complements the large empty scenes on the screen, giving the audience a different feeling.
They had the illusion that sounds were coming from all directions, as if they were not sitting in a theater but were really in a cave.
The black Artoria finally officially met with the Chaldea group.
The moment Her Majesty the Queen stabbed the black holy sword on the road, she captured the audience's attention.
When an actor appears on the big screen, he often has a completely different feeling than usual.
Costumes, makeup, lighting and other post-processing.
On the screen, Lily Wettin perfectly portrayed a black tyrant who was overbearing, cold, self-willed, and at the same time somewhat arrogant and willful.
"She is indeed Lily Wettin," Miss Katsushika exclaimed, "She is still so good at playing the tyrant."
It's not like she hasn't watched the HF line of the web drama, but compared with the Black Saber on the screen now, the difference is really not a little bit.
Compared to the original Knight King, who is nicknamed "Aho-King" by fans, Black Saber's black appeal is much greater.
If the original version is holy and inviolable, then the current Black Saber is like a demon that lures people into darkness.
I believe that every audience member in the theater would be very happy to bow down at the feet of the Black Knight King.
It has nothing to do with Masochism. When it comes to the temptation of darkness, there is no distinction between S and M. It is just humans following their own desires.
The black magic flames began to burn on Artoria's body and turned into armor.
The Knight King raised the black sword with both hands and attacked Mash directly.
Generally speaking, when the protagonist is fighting against the enemy, the audience does not want to see the protagonist's team suffer a defeat.
Everyone hopes that the protagonist will win until the end.
Even in "The Dark Knight", which was highly praised by the audience, few viewers wanted the Joker to win.
But this time, when Black Saber beat Mash hard, the audience did not have many negative emotions.
Of course, they didn't want Mash to lose to Black Saber.
Everyone feels that this is how the fighting power between Mash and Black Saber should be.
In the final battle, Nanaya used a dual perspective parallel approach.
Black Saber fights against Mash, Red A fights against Big Dog.
At this moment, Nanaya showed off his already sophisticated editing skills.
Editing requires strong psychological skills, because the editor must not only make the audience understand the story he or she has edited, but also be able to mobilize the audience's emotions.
The director shoots a variety of scenes, and the editor's job is to guide the audience on what emotions they should express when these scenes are played.
It can be said that the director determines when the audience should be sad, when they should be excited, and when they should laugh.
The editor needs to achieve this goal by following the schedule given by the director.
Nanaya, who has the final editing rights, is originally a director and editor in one.
Therefore, he knew what kind of picture he wanted before shooting, and during post-editing, he also understood how to splice these trivial shots to present the picture in his mind.
Nanaya is like a magician with the ability to read minds. As soon as the audience thinks about which side they want to see the fight, the camera will switch to the other side.
However, this frequent switching does not cause cognitive confusion to the audience. They even have a feeling that they are in control of the overall situation.
But gradually, the camera began to focus on the group of Big Dog and Red A.
The FGO game has not been released yet, but for viewers who are familiar with the language of the camera, it is not difficult to guess that this battle will come to an end.
Sure enough, while Red A was trapping the big dog in close combat, he also fell into the trap of the big dog.
As the saying goes, you predicted my prediction, but I predicted that you would predict my prediction.
After a fierce battle, Archer was burned to ashes by the big dog.
This man who liked to show his back finally came to an end in this movie.
The disappearance of popular characters has always been a taboo in movies. In order to prolong the life of the characters, film companies often make various life-extending operations.
The most obvious of these is the treatment of Loki in the MCU, which can really be described as eating and vomiting, vomiting and eating.
On Fate's side, Nanaya's handling is relatively simple.
Just send it casually. Servants are backup files anyway, and you can just pull another one down from Valhalla later.
The audience was also aware of Kiryu Nanaya's operations, so they were not sad about the disappearance of Red A, but just felt a little emotional.
"Archer is really miserable. He didn't win against Cu Chulainn in UBW. Even after the opponent changed his class this time, he still didn't win."
A viewer complained, and he sounded like a fan of Archer.
His companions also felt sorry: "It can't be helped. Archer's ability is very effective against Gilgamesh, but it's not that advantageous against ordinary Servants."
"I've been waiting for five years and this is the result. I'm a little disappointed. I wonder when Archer will appear next time."
Another audience member in the back row heard this and joked, "It won't be too long. After all, Kiryu Nanaya is the best at making the most of the characters' commercial value. Look at Artoria. She's been treated as a new character just by changing her color."
"Haha, if you have the guts, don't buy Black Lily's merchandise."
The other party remained silent because he couldn't help but buy it.
After Archer's exit, the Holy Grail War in Fuyuki City has reached its final moments.
Black Saber discovered that although Mash was weak, her defense was really high.
The opponent couldn't knock me down, but he could drag me down by using the huge dining table.
In order to end the battle as quickly as possible, Artoria adopted the simplest and most direct method - releasing the Noble Phantasm to directly annihilate Mash.
"Excalibur Morgan——————!"
Black Saber raised the knight sword with both hands, and the black flame, with the power to destroy the world, hit Mash's shield.
This attack was completely different from the previous one. Just by looking at it, one could tell that Mash was doomed to lose.
However, even though she had no chance of winning, Mash still fought desperately to protect the safety of the two people behind her.
Mash barely blocked the first shot, but cracks had already appeared on her armor, and her whole body became shaky, as if she was about to fall down.
The second Noble Phantasm came, and Mash raised her shield to block it again.
She had not given up yet and continued to protect her Master with her body.
Although the strength has been lost, life is like a candle in the wind.
But she is still fulfilling the oath she made in the contract and protecting her Master with her shield!
At the same time, she is also using the shield to protect the honor of the hero possessed by her!
Mash herself is not a knight, and she does not know the name of the knight who gave her power.
But from the moment she accepted this power, she became the spokesperson for the hero.
So, she wants to——
"Mash!!"
In high-speed slow motion, another Noble Phantasm attacked Mash's shield.
With tears in her eyes, Ritsuka wanted to rush forward to protect her, but was held firmly by the director.
Even a Servant who is good at defense, [Shield Soldier], cannot withstand the attack of three Noble Phantasms.
Mash half-knelt on the ground, she had almost used up all her strength.
Although Mash has a slender figure, she holds her weapon, the Great Cross Shield, very steadily throughout the entire movie.
Even when facing Hercules, Mash never had any shaking hands.
But now Mash doesn't seem to be holding a large shield, it seems like she is leaning on the large shield to ensure that she does not fall to the ground.
At this moment, she no longer had the ability to attack Black Saber and could only wait for the Knight King to execute her.
"Mash won't die, right?" William couldn't help but ask in a low voice.
"That shouldn't be the case, right? Isn't she the heroine?"
Ed, who answered him, was not very confident either.
At this time, the tragic BGM has sounded, and everything suggests that the bad end has come.
Black Saber raised her sword once again, preparing to wipe out the Chaldean trio with Excalibur this time.
Just when the audience thought that this endgame could not be solved, a pair of hands tightly grasped Mash's hand.
The most sensational and touching scene in the prologue has arrived.
