"Mash, I don't know how much power I have, but I swear to you! I am your Master, and I will stand by you through thick and thin!"
This is the Master Oath that Ritsuka made before the movie.
At that time, he didn't know what he would encounter, but even so he was still willing to fulfill his oath.
Everyone's transformation requires a process, and Ritsuka Fujimaru's transformation from an ordinary person to a savior especially requires such a process.
The director's words about the end of the world and the destruction of human civilization are far less impactful and convincing than what Mash is saying at this moment.
At this time, Ritsuka has not yet realized that he has to bear the fate of mankind, but he has already realized that he has to bear the fate of Mash.
This is a gradual process. It would seem fake if Ritsuka directly became a saint who saves the world at the beginning.
Nanaya's approach is to make Ritsuka change in every movie, giving him more and more burdens.
Until the very end, when Ritsuka stood in the Temple of Time facing Goetia.
When he looks back suddenly, he will find that he has become a great man without realizing it.
Mash played the role of a catalyst in this, and she abided by her oath as a Servant.
Her actions also inspired her master's determination and fighting spirit, and Ritsuka no longer avoided her fate.
The Command Seal that had disappeared for the entire movie finally took effect, and Mash returned to her heyday.
At the same time, she felt the Master's determination and finally opened her heart to him and released her Noble Phantasm.
A wall made of magic power appeared in the void.
The black light cannon that had been unstoppable the previous three times met its match this time.
Black Saber's attack was blocked outside the white wall and could not go any further.
"That shield is..."
Black Saber showed surprise on her face, she seemed to understand something.
But in this moment of distraction, Saber paid a heavy price.
"The Fire Cage that Burns to Ashes!"
The big dog who rushed to the Big Hollow didn't know what happened, but in this stalemate, he took the most advantageous countermeasure for himself - using the Noble Phantasm on Black Saber.
The Wicker Man is a unique Celtic form of sacrifice.
According to legend, the Celts would use willow branches or grass stems to tie up people or dolls and burn them to pray for good weather and peace for all living beings.
As a heroic weapon, the wicker man summoned by Cu Chulainn is not that simple.
He summoned the Wicker Man, but gave no sacrifice.
The wooden giant who did not receive the sacrifice went mad in order to get the sacrifice that was rightfully his, and thus devoured the enemies of his summoner as sacrifices.
This is the Noble Phantasm held by Cu Chulainn as Caster, who uses his druid ability to summon giants to defeat his opponents.
With flames burning on his body, a giant made of countless willow branches was summoned by Cu Chulainn.
It attacked the person closest to where it appeared—Black Saber.
Black Saber, who was struggling with the city wall, was caught off guard, and before she could react, she became the wooden giant's sacrifice.
The moment the giant fell, it meant that the Holy Grail War in Fuyuki City was over.
The exit of Black Saber and Big Dog one after another indicates the restoration of the singularity.
When leaving, Cu Chulainn told Ritsuka in a very casual manner that next time he was summoned, it would be best to summon him as a spearman.
Just when the audience thought the story in Fuyuki City had ended, Lev appeared.
Like all super villains, this guy first demonstrated how terrifying he was by killing the already dead director of Chaldea again.
However, the position of Director of Chaldea has not yet become a meme, and no one has made any complaints like "Look, something's happened to Director Chaldea again."
The audience was not actually too moved by the death of Olga Marie Animusphia.
The overall presence of this character is not very high, and only fans who have watched "The Second Generation Case Files" have some impression of this character.
Unfortunately, the actors in the movie and the web series are not the same people, so many viewers who have watched the web series did not react.
If we really want to talk about the whole movie, there are probably only two things about Olga Marie that left an impression on the audience.
One is the temper of a proud young lady, and the other is facing Romani Archaman's sharp tongue and insults.
This kind of character is usually not very likable, but it depends on the situation.
The person Olga Marie scolded was Nanaya Kiryu, and this is a feat that all Fate fans will never forget.
However, the audience did not like this character too much.
If I had to put it bluntly, it would be something like, "Ah, a busty beauty in red stockings died."
Although it is a bit regrettable, it is not too sad.
As for Lev, after talking for a while, he showed his attributes as a great devil.
Just like the BOSS in the most traditional RPG games, it appears in front of the protagonist when he just leaves the novice village.
Speak the villain's lines, do the villain's actions, and present the villain's shots.
But these people just didn't stab the protagonist who hadn't grown up yet to death, but left in style, leaving only the protagonist's regretful figure.
In short, as a villain, Lev made all the mistakes that a villain should make.
Of course, the audience also noticed this problem.
Although they felt that this squinty-eyed guy was not a good person from the beginning, the characterization of the other party as such a simple villain made the audience feel a little bored.
"If this is the final boss, it will be unbearable to watch, right?" William said a little unhappily, "It's not as three-dimensional as Gilgamesh's."
Such discussions can be heard almost everywhere in the theater.
Almost all fans do not like Kiryu Nanaya's portrayal of the villain Lev.
The characters created by Nanaya Kiryu in the past are all vivid and lively. No matter whether the characters' behaviors and purposes are logical or not, at least no important character is a simple and disposable villain.
But this time, Flauros chose such a simple and direct setting, which made the audience very disappointed.
The name of this movie is Prologue, which is undoubtedly the beginning of the FGO series.
This is also what Washimine Entertainment told the audience from the very beginning when promoting the movie.
It's a pity that the entire series is highly confidential, and apart from this prologue, outsiders don't know which other movies there are.
But just looking at this movie, the overall feeling it gives people is not satisfactory.
The slightly slow pace at the beginning is not a big deal, as the exciting battle scenes later can completely cover up this part.
But the image design of the ultimate boss, Lev, is really hard to like.
Although everyone also believes that in future movies, Flauros's image will gradually become fuller.
But with this current look of a wash-off villain, it's really hard for fans to imagine what kind of depth such a character would have.
"70 points, if the big boss can be designed a little better, I think it can get 80 points."
Miss Katsushika heard a reporter next to her give her own rating.
Although she really wanted to refute it, Ms. Katsushika herself also thought that the prologue was a relatively mediocre work in Nanaya Kiryu's movie.
"The design of the villain at the end was very problematic, and it felt like the style was lowered a lot."
A Rong sighed helplessly.
"Could it be that the Oscars not only have a curse on actresses, but also directors?"
Miss Katsushika became a little worried about Kiryu Nanaya's current creative state.
As the film came to an end on the screen, the Chaldean side suffered a major setback.
Humanity has been destroyed, which is simply a travesty for the institutions that ensure its continuation.
At the same time, the head of the organization, Chaldea Director Olga Marie, died, leaving the entire organization in a state of disarray.
The Master team that was originally formed to deal with the human crisis was left with only one replacement student after Lev's bomb.
This was not the worst. In addition to the Master's team, Lev's bomb also took away more than 200 Chaldea staff members.
Now there are less than 20 people in the entire organization, including those who are still able to breathe. The entire organization is facing a very serious shortage of staff.
It can be said that Chaldea and even the entire human civilization are in a miserable state.
But even so, humanity is not without a glimmer of hope, and Chaldea has not yet been completely destroyed.
The story of "Prologue" has reached its end, but the war in the singularity has just begun.
In order to save the future of mankind, the young boy Fujimaru Ritsuka and the young girl Mash Kyrielight embarked on a journey to save humanity.
"In 2015, according to the near-future observation lens Sheba, it was proven that humans will become extinct in 2016."
At the end of the film, Shion's narration sounded again.
"According to observations, a singularity has appeared in human history, an 'unobservable area' that has never appeared before."
"To continue human nature and to save human civilization."
"Chaldea has decided to transfer the practitioner to the singularity through spirit particle transfer and restore history to its correct form."
"This is a time travel back in time, a forbidden ritual to uncover the truth or destroy it.
"It's called the Holy Grail Quest - [Grand Order]."
"This is a general term for everything that exists to defend humanity, to confront human history, and to fight against fate."
The last scene on the screen shows that Ritsuka and Mash have been teleported to the first singularity.
Under the blue sky and white clouds, two people walked towards the distance hand in hand.
This is the end of the FGO prologue.
But the audience knows very well that the movie is definitely not over yet, and based on Nanaya Kiryu's habit, there will definitely be some Easter eggs left.
Sure enough, after the credits of the main cast ended, the screen lit up again.
"Humanity has lost the [King's Favor]."
In a grand and dim temple, Lev slowly walked up a staircase.
He seemed to be talking to himself, or he seemed to be talking to someone on the steps.
"Incompetent humans are meaningless and should be burned like waste paper."
"Right, my king."
Lev said as he knelt down towards the throne.
It was only then that the audience noticed that there was someone sitting on the throne at the end.
The camera began to move from bottom to top, and the audience finally saw the face of the man on the throne - it was Leonardo Dicaprio.
"The Magic King, Solomon."
Flauros introduced the man's identity to the audience in the theater.
