Chapter Summaries

Kariya Matou attacked a group of Elite Reincarnators who tried to approach Tohsaka Aoi and her daughters, and Lancelot killed them on Kariya’s command. Aili arrived and reprimanded Tohsaka Rin for showing mercy, then faced Kariya and Berserker as they sensed a threat from her.

• Qian Zuo and Qian You’s Elite Reincarnators approached Tohsaka Aoi and her daughters, but Kariya Matou unleashed a swarm of bugs against them.

• Aili arrived and told Rin that her earlier mercy had allowed the situation to escalate, and Rin admitted she had been wrong.
• Aili turned toward Berserker, whose emotions showed caution, while Kariya demanded to know who she was.

Aili stopped Mad Kyo with a single blow while the Sino-Japanese Alliance Reincarnators learned that Tohsaka Tokiomi was alone and planned to ambush him. Tokiomi was shopping for ingredients for Lord Xu Yue when he asked Tao Le to help him choose groceries, unaware that she was a Beiyang Reincarnator watching the area.

• The Sino-Japanese Alliance Reincarnators judged Aili to be a powerful foe and watched her confront Kariya Matou and Mad Kyo.

• The Reincarnators learned that Tohsaka Tokiomi was nearby without a Heroic Spirit and planned to kill him in a surprise attack.
• Tohsaka Tokiomi shopped for ingredients for Lord Xu Yue and asked Tao Le to select the best food on his list.
• Tao Le recognized Tohsaka Tokiomi as the target the Sino-Japanese Alliance might be pursuing, but he approached her before she could report her suspicions.

Tao Le realized the Sino-Japanese Alliance was preparing to kill Tohsaka Tokiomi and warned him, but he had already lost his status as a Master. Just as their attacks were about to kill them both, Xu Yue rewound time and sent Tokiomi an ancient sword, which swallowed the assault and left them alive.

• Tao Le sensed danger while shopping with Tohsaka Tokiomi and concluded the Sino-Japanese Alliance was about to attack him.

• Kariya Matou decided to join Tokiomi’s side to help save Tokiomi’s wife and daughter.
• After Ruler announced the Holy Grail War had resumed, Li Jinglin gathered Waver, Kaineth, Irisviel, and Xu Yue to discuss their strategy.
• The Sino-Japanese Alliance rapidly breached Kaineth’s fortified hotel, and Li Jinglin realized they intended to eliminate his group rather than pursue the Holy Grail.

Fuyuki's hotel came under attack from technological mechs, and Xu Yue and Kaineth prepared to respond as rival Reincarnator factions joined the battle. After Prince Qing declared his side had won strategically, the story shifted to Mu Yan, who received a mysterious system while fetching water.

• Artillery and mechs attacked Kaineth's hotel, whose layered defenses began to fail under the bombardment.
• Kaineth told the Clock Tower that the hotel was his Magic Workshop, and Xu Yue received a call from Lord El-Melloi II asking him to bring back samples.
• Xu Yue revealed that he was also nominally a Grand Magus and asked the others to help leave two enemies intact.
• Prince Qing's Sino-Japanese Alliance attacked the hotel to force its occupants out, while he dismissed the loss of two mechs as a tactical victory.

• Mu Yan, the weakest disciple of the Spirit Gathering Sect, received the Strongest Farming System while carrying water through the mountains.

Xu Yue prepared to infuse Irisviel with a Heroic Spirit as the battle outside the hotel erupted. The Sino-Japanese Alliance’s attack met fierce resistance, but its fighters began gaining ground as Li Jinglin unleashed a forbidden technique against Spartacus.

• Li Jinglin found that his sword attacks did not weaken Spartacus, while the Sino-Japanese Alliance's attacks forced him onto the defensive.
• Lu Bu and the King of Conquerors fought fiercely until the King of Heroes's golden Noble Phantasms struck the entire battlefield, injuring everyone and nearly killing two Reincarnator Masters.
• Prince Qing claimed the alliance had abandoned the contest and offered the Holy Grail to the King of Heroes, but the King of Heroes attacked him anyway.

• Prince Qing ordered the Goddess of Love activated, and the mech outside Fuyuki began powering up to destroy the city indiscriminately.

Prince Qing launched an enchanted nuclear warhead at Fuyuki City, but Golden Flash erased the explosion and then unleashed the Gate of Babylon, killing the Sino-Japanese Alliance Reincarnators and most Heroic Spirits. Li Jinglin survived and realized Beiyang had gained from the enemy’s losses as the surviving spirits began to disappear.

• Li Jinglin found himself barely injured, while Li Shuwen and the King of Conquerors faded away and Waver mourned Rider.

After the Holy Grail War ended with nearly every Heroic Spirit defeated, Kiritsugu Emiya claimed victory, only for the contaminated Grail to devastate Fuyuki. Xu Yue reversed the destruction and then prepared to use Irisviel as a medium to reach the Root.

• Golden Flash withdrew after realizing Saber was still fighting, and Li Jinglin departed after the war ended.

• Kiritsugu Emiya thanked Xu Yue, who pointed him toward a red-haired boy who had lost his home.
• Xu Yue told Irisviel he would use her as a medium to open a passage to the Root.
