Illya: This Is So Embarrassing! (*////▽////*) / 308. EMIYA: My Combat Power Can Be Pathetic, but My Style Has to Be Impeccable
"As for power... it's right here."
After a series of questions and answers, [Illya] took out Archer's Class Card and slammed it on the ground.
"Dream Summoning! (Install!)"
A flash of light, and Illya appeared on the television screen dressed in a red Archer outfit!
"Great, this is it!"
Viewers who had waited a week cheered when Loki saw his brother get beaten up by Hulk.
Chapter 307 Illya: This is so embarrassing! (*////▽////*)
A red trench coat fluttered in the wind, a black vest clung tightly to her body, and the girl, holding a bow in one hand, gazed calmly ahead.
Despite being just a petite, flat-chested little girl, she possesses a maturity that many adult women lack.
When the silver-haired girl dressed as a red-clad archer appeared on the television screen, her exquisite face and aloof expression staring directly at her enemy, her stunning appearance left Shibamatsu and the others breathless.
So far, Shinji Matou has featured many beautiful women in his works, especially in the Fate series, where all the named female characters are high-quality beauties who could score 80 or higher.
Illya is naturally one of these special actresses. Without deliberately wearing ugly makeup, this little girl unabashedly displays her cuteness and beauty in both the movie version and TV series.
But the current Illya is completely different from the little girl she played before.
It's not that she's not pretty or ugly.
On the contrary, she looked absolutely stunning in Archer's red dress, exuding a unique blend of coolness and allure that set her apart from her previous cute Magical Girl style.
"Could it be that these seemingly flashy but impractical combat suits can actually enhance a woman's beauty? Like the female characters in Bodysuit in other Tokusatsu?"
Fujita muttered to himself.
The fat man's words weren't entirely without merit. While Bodysuit are very unforgiving of body shape, if the wearer has good physique, they can absolutely enhance the look, creating an incredibly stunning effect for the audience.
Just look at the superhero Bodysuit in American comic book movies to see this.
Even though filming in Bodysuit is an extremely tiring experience, production companies still enjoy it, which shows that Bodysuit are definitely a good thing.
Of course, if the person wearing the clothes isn't right, even the most beautiful Bodysuit can create an uncanny valley effect.
Otherwise, there would be no such thing as buyer's show versus seller's show in this world.
The reason Illya looked so beautiful on the television screen at that moment was mainly due to her unique charisma.
It was a kind of temperament different from the fixed template of the little loli character in the past.
She is neither a typical classical young lady nor a yandere with twisted values, but rather possesses a slightly aloof yet mysterious and alluring charm.
Those familiar with the story of <Magical Girl Prisma Illya> will realize that Shinji had Illya portrayed in this way to pave the way for the appearance of the fanservice character Illyasviel von Einzbern.
The audience, of course, had no idea how the story would unfold; they were simply captivated by Illya's appearance.
"Compared to a simple, innocent Magical Girl, she's more like a female Magecraft now, or to be more precise..."
Fairies from Britain folklore.
Suddenly, an image flashed through Shibamatsu's mind.
He then shook his head.
"How could that be? How could Shinji Matou know about something that has long since become a legend? I must be overthinking it."
Shibamatsu didn't know how Shinji Matou had managed to grasp Illya's current state so well, but he knew at least that he, and all the viewers of <Fate/kaleid liner Prisma Illya>, hadn't waited in vain this week.
It's important to understand that TV series trailers differ from movie trailers. To give viewers something to follow, TV series trailers typically provide very little information.
Despite the mention of the red-clad [Illya] in the trailer's narration, she only makes a fleeting appearance in the trailer, lasting less than a second.
Even if fans slowed down the recorded footage several times, they could only see a blurry red silhouette.
It's fair to say that the red-clad [Illya] look was kept absolutely secret until this week; no one knew what the character actually looked like, and could only speculate based on available information.
Although some talented artists have tried to recreate Red A's outfit on Illya, it still falls short in terms of visual appeal compared to the current TV version.
The reason is simple: no one expected Shinji Matou to design Illya's outfit so boldly, not only showing off her fair and delicate legs, but also designing her upper body as a crop top.
Is this something I can watch for free on a children's channel?!
At this moment, countless viewers raised this question, suspecting that Shinji Matou had bribed the censors; otherwise, how did this design pass the censorship?
It's important to know that since the beginning of the new millennium, even Japan's film and television censorship authorities have been tightening their grip.
To avoid trouble, Tokusatsu teams have been making female characters wear increasingly elaborate costumes.
Just look at the costume of the political commissar who plays Carl's human form; that black gothic outfit is undeniably beautiful, but also undeniably conservative.
Putting everything else aside, she was clearly wearing black stockings, but she didn't even show her calves!
This is ridiculous! Do you even know why black stockings are also called "high-skin stockings"?!
You only gave us one ankle? How are we supposed to get excited about that?!
That's why people say Shinji Matou; he's had the audience's mindset completely figured out.
The moment [Illya] in red appeared, she captivated the audience. After enjoying the visual feast, viewers unanimously agreed that the large size was indeed impressive, and they could temporarily put aside their grudges from last week's incomplete episode.
On the contrary, Illya herself, who wore this outfit, had only one word for her attitude towards this look (emphasis) – shameless!
"Too... too... too shy!"
Illya covered her face with the pillow and made a shy sound; she felt like her face was burning her silver hair black.
"Well, I think it's pretty good."
Shirou quite liked the red outfit, saying, "It has a very youthful and energetic feel; no wonder Shinji made a special trip to Tokyo just to get it approved."
Of course, Shirou also had his own ulterior motives.
Red A represents one of his possible futures. His sister wearing his future clothes evokes a sense of pride in her sister following in his footsteps—a feeling that any older brother would find joy in.
Unfortunately, Illya didn't appreciate it much. She gritted her teeth, glared at Shirou, and let out a furious roar like a kitten.
"Brother! I misjudged you!"
"Huh? Hahaha~"
Shirou scratched his head and chuckled sheepishly.
My younger sister deliberately skipped the appreciation event with her friends today and went home to watch it instead, because she thought the outfit was just too embarrassing.
"Hey Illya, this is your first appearance and you're already like this. What if this character becomes a regular in the show? Are you not planning to go to the set anymore?"
In response to Shirou's question, Illya pouted and said, "That's Chloe's business, what does it have to do with me Illya?"
"..."
Wasn't it all your acting?
Shirou's eyelids twitched; he hadn't expected Illya to have learned such roundabout excuses.
My own sister has gone astray...
Just as the brother and sister were staring at each other, Irisviel, who had been staring at the television screen without saying a word, suddenly spoke up.
"Wow, this outfit looks so cute! Kawaii!"
"Hmm?" *2
Immediately, Illya and Shirou's gazes towards her changed.
"What... what do you want to do?"
"Mom, you wouldn't...?"
Knowing their wife's eccentric and unpredictable nature, the brother and sister had a crazy idea pop into their heads.
"No way?"*2
Sure enough, Irisviel smiled, her eyes narrowing, and said, "Me too, I'd like to try this outfit on! It looks really interesting, I wonder how it will look on me!"
"..."
The brother and sister imagined it for a moment.
Irisviel, dressed in a red, almost taut Heroic Spirit, then leaped with all her might.
Sizzle--!
The cloth was torn to shreds all over the floor.
No! No! No!
Illya panicked and tried to start, loudly denying it.
"Mom, if you wear those clothes, you'll end up completely bald!"
In Illya's opinion, it was alright for her to wear this outfit, since her figure didn't allow for anything outrageous; at most, it would just make her look a bit like a delinquent.
But my mother is different. With her amazing figure, her naturally ditzy personality, and her idiotic athletic ability, this dress would definitely fall apart in her hands.
If you wear that out, you'll probably be taken away by the police before you even reach the intersection!
"Ahem! Ai... you should talk to your dad about it. I think he might give you a chance."
Shirou thought that if it were his own father, he probably wouldn't object to Irisviel trying on these outlandish clothes when they were alone together.
Whether Irisviel ultimately found the clothes unwearable to wear in public, or her father was bedridden due to kidney deficiency, was beyond Shirou's consideration.
Cough cough!!
"Let's watch TV instead; this is a rare moment of glory for Illya."
Irisviel blinked. "Is it very bright?"
"..."*2
The brother and sister didn't want to continue the conversation anymore, because whatever they said would be wrong.
Boom! Boom!
Fortunately, the television lived up to expectations and actively diverted Irisviel's attention.
The battle between Illya in red and Saber was incredibly intense, on a completely different level from previous battles in the series "Fate/kaleid liner Prisma Illya".
Many viewers have already seen the flavor of the battle between two Servants in the main Fate series.
Especially since Illya is now wearing a layer of Red A's skin, this battle has a unique flavor.
"It's been so long! After all these years, Shinji Matou has finally made our dream come true!"
Longtime Fate fans like Shibamatsu were moved to tears while watching the battle.
"Finally, Saber and Archer get to have a proper fight! This has been a dream of ours for years!!"
As the two Servants with the strongest protagonist vibes in FSN, many people have always wondered who is stronger Artoria or Red A.
However, none of the three routes in FSN satisfied the audience's expectations.
Now, Shinji Matou has finally given everyone a satisfying viewing experience with the drama <Magical Girl Prisma Illya>.
Only--
"Hmph, that's only because I wasn't at my peak that we ended up in a draw! You think so too, Archer, don't you?"
Red A, questioned by Artoria, took a deep breath and suppressed his anger, saying, "I understand the logic, but that's no excuse for you to deliberately torment me!"
Looking at the pile of empty plates in front of him, his red eyebrows twitched violently.
For a chef, what could be more terrifying than a Big Eater?
Yes, there are two Big Eater.
What could be more terrifying than two Big Eater?
Yes, both of them ate to their Big Eater' content.
So, naturally, Red A went berserk.
"Damn it! Are you two idiots planning to send me back to Hall of Heroes from the kitchen?"
Chapter 308 Red A: Combat strength can be weak, but style must be top-notch.
Although Illya went home to watch TV today, Type-Moon Company's appreciation event was not canceled.
