Miyu: Watch Closely, Sapphire! This Is How You Use a Card!
Miyu, who had just slammed into the wall, coughed up a mouthful of blood, clearly suffering from internal injuries.
At the same time, as if by telepathy, Irisviel from the Emiya family asked Illya the most crucial question from the first season of the manga.
"Illya- chan, you're actually quite worried about that child, aren't you?"
"That's true..."
"In that case, why don't you help her out? Why don't you do that?"
Irisviel looked at her daughter, her eyes gleaming with an unreadable light.
Are you that afraid of your own power?
"Why?"
Upon hearing her mother ask this bizarre question, Illya's entire expression changed.
I should be a regular sex worker, so why does my mother know about this?
At this moment, Illya was deeply shocked.
"Is this the beginning of the mystery surrounding Illya's origins?"
Inside the Magecraft's Club, Aoko and the others sat up straight, afraid of missing a single detail.
Those familiar with FSN know that Illya's power is likely inseparable from the Holy Grail.
But what exactly this version will be set up is something that all the Magecraft, including Aoko and Azu, are curious about.
One of the defining characteristics of Shinji Matou's works is that they are based on real Magecraft theories, and no one knows what new tricks Shinji will bring this time.
If the new concept happens to fit their Magecraft perfectly, wouldn't that be a huge win?
However, just like his skillful braking technique, Shinji Matou is equally adept at keeping people in suspense.
After Irisviel asked the question, Shinji didn't rush to give an answer, but instead cut the camera back to Miyu.
"■■■■--!"
Uncle Hai let out a roar that made the entire building tremble, and the wound on his chest was healing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Seeing that the enemy was so powerful and invincible, Rin decisively broke through the wall, allowing Luviya to retreat with Miyu.
"This kind of narrow terrain is really bad for fighting Berserker."
Aoko said with a hint of sympathy, "Did Shinji Matou deliberately design the last level to be so difficult?"
"That's not entirely true~"
Fujita raised a finger and said in a conspiracy-theoretic tone, "Shinji Matou is a petty guy; he deliberately put this battle here."
"Huh? Why do you say that?" Aoko asked curiously.
Seeing that Aoko had taken the bait, Fujita immediately began to promote his theory.
"Because he himself died once in this place, he deliberately had a beautiful girl humiliated here to retaliate against his inner resentment!"
"This kind of mentality is simply inhuman!"
Fujita concluded in a serious tone, "So, Shinji Matou is a pervert."
Chapter 318 Miyu: Watch closely, Saffia! This is how you use the cards!
Fujita has a particular fondness for spreading conspiracy theories, using dubious clues to arrive at distorted conclusions, and then disseminating these views to mislead others.
If you were to say he did it on purpose, he himself didn't seem to think there was anything wrong with his conclusions.
However, his conclusions are mostly based on taking things out of context and are far removed from the author's actual intended meaning.
There are many people like Fujita in reality. They take advantage of the fact that most people rarely verify the information they tell, deliberately distort the core of the story, and spread some seemingly very seductive content.
After all, humans' natural inclination to gossip makes them inherently more inclined to accept the conclusions of conspiracy theories.
However, the so-called theories put forward by these conspiracy theorists are still largely one-way logical chains, and it is impossible to deduce them from the details.
Just like this time, the core of Fujita's claim that Shinji Matou is a pervert is the mirror space where each card in <Fate/kaleid liner Prisma Illya> appears, which is a special location in the main Fate story for the corresponding Servant.
Rider appears at the school where she has appeared in all three routes of FSN;
The forest where Assassin appears is the same forest where Einzbern's castle is located in FSN, and also the burial place of Hundred Faces in FZ;
Saber appears on the bridge where he confronts Gilgamesh in the movie version;
Caster, being a Saber enthusiast, clearly came here with Saber.
As for Uncle Hai, the only building-related plot I can think of involving him is the rooftop battle between Saber and Rider in the middle of the movie.
At the time, Illya and Uncle Hai were observing from the shadows, and after the war, they executed Shinji Matou, who was the loser.
Therefore, Fujita's claim that Shinji Matou died here once is not a lie.
However, Shinji's storyline in <Fate/kaleid liner Prisma Illya> follows Hiroyama's lead, and Hiroyama setting the battle between Uncle Hai and the others in a building is probably just an Easter egg from FSN.
Hiroyama would never know that Shinji would travel to a Parallel world of Type-Moon. Shinji, on the other hand, knew that Hiroyama's battle was a tribute, but he had no idea that someone would use his identity to spread conspiracy theories.
All I can say is that Fujita was able to connect these seemingly unrelated clues and draw the conclusion that he really was Cao Pi's father-in-law who wove straw sandals for Liu Bei—just like Zhen Ji's father!
However, Fujita's conspiracy theory isn't entirely wrong, because Shinji is indeed a bit of a psychopath, especially with Windows XP. 869062952
Of course, as perverted as he may be, Shinji is still a man with principles. He would never do something like intentionally abusing a little girl—even if that little girl had called him a pervert.
As a Director with professional ethics, how could Shinji Matou possibly do something like deliberately injuring a little girl as revenge?
It's important to understand that TV dramas are all staged; it's all acting. Akiha, the little loli, was only pretending to be injured; she wasn't actually hurt.
Ahem, Shinji genuinely thinks that way.
However, it didn't matter what Shinji thought anymore; Rin and Luviya on the TV screen were going crazy.
Being relentlessly pursued in a narrow building corridor by a behemoth two and a half meters tall, who not only roars "■■■■--!" from time to time, but also frequently crashes through walls to launch surprise attacks...
What kind of version of Resident Evil is this?!
"No, we can't beat him like this!"
After barely escaping Uncle Hai's pursuit, Rin decided to use the same method she had used when she first encountered Caster: retreat first, and then figure out a strategy to defeat this monster later.
This is also the first reaction of most gamers when facing a boss for the first time: retreat first and then look for a strategy guide.
But Miyu has always been very calm, decided to take a gamble this time because her friend Illya gave her a winning strategy.
"The Corridor of Boundaries: A Twist of Fate!"
With the help of Sapphire Sapphire Wand, Rin and her companions activated the True Magic spell to leave the Mirror World.
But in the last second before the True Magic circle was activated, Miyu abandoned her two older sisters and prepared to face the terrifying monster alone, just like her brother.
Hmm... This is content from two seasons later. Right now, Miyu is just a simple Magical Girl with a mysterious identity.
Miyu's unusual behavior baffled Saffia, but what happened next surprised the staff even more.
"Miyu- sama, what exactly do you want?"
"It would be troublesome if I were seen, so I'd rather stay alone."
Miyu took out Saber's Class Card and placed it on the ground.
"Safia, keep this a secret."
"Card?"
Miyu slammed her staff onto the card and infused it with her magic.
"Although I don't know the specifics of how to do it, I've seen Illya do it before..."
With the exchange of magical energy, Saber's card emitted a dazzling blue light, and True Magic circle that all Fate fans are very familiar with appeared on the ground.
"This is the true way to use the card!"
"Announcement--"
The exciting incantation rang out once again—a spell that Fate fans could recognize at a glance, even if they couldn't recite it by heart— Heroic Spirit Summoning.
The background music on the TV also changed appropriately to the music from Fate/stay night when Shirou Emiya summons Saber.
However, the idea to change the background music wasn't Shinji's idea, but rather a suggestion from Tsuburaya Productions in the later stages.
Shinji originally planned to use a more upbeat piece of music to heighten the tension, but Tsuburaya's post-production editors gave a different suggestion.
Since they've even copied the lines, why not go all the way and use the same background music?
It's fair to say that Tsuburaya Productions is more professional than Shinji when it comes to paying homage to previous works.
Shinji may have thought of many things during filming, but he wasn't as comprehensive as the experts at Tsuburaya Productions who came up with the tribute.
Finally, to the BGM that Fate fans cherish, and in that familiar scene, they saw the blue swordsman standing under the moonlight once again.
"Dream Summoning!"
Wearing Knight armor, Miyu held a sword in both hands, pointing the tip at Uncle Hai who was charging towards her.
"I will not retreat! I will fight with all my might—"
The golden knight's sword blocked Uncle Hai's fist, and the ensuing magical storm pushed him backward.
"Today! Here! End this war!"
Miyu, imbued with Saber's power, raised the Holy Sword and made a vow.
Longtime Fate fans watched this scene with excitement and exclaimed in amazement.
"It's so peaceful."*N
"I thought Artoria was flat enough, but I never expected there was someone even flatter wearing this outfit."
"What... what expression should I wear?"
It's not that the viewers at home are nitpicking, but Miyu wearing Saber's outfit is really a bit...
Artoria's blue knight dress worn under her armor incorporates design elements of traditional European women's gowns, especially evident in the design of the chest area.
Based on traditional European design principles for women's clothing and the expectations placed on women, this type of clothing would naturally look best on women with larger breasts, smaller waists, and more shapely hips.
Artoria's figure was clearly not up to par, but she managed to pull it off.
But when it comes to Miyu, or rather, Akiha the little loli, it really doesn't work; a primary school student's figure simply isn't enough to pull off this outfit.
In particular, when Hiroyama designed this outfit for Miyu, he had a very wicked sense of humor and gave armor to other parts of her body, but not to the chest.
This is like someone going out wearing clothes everywhere except for their lower body, specifically the area between their legs.
No matter how formally this person is dressed, people can still tell at a glance that he is a pervert and a sleazy person!
As for Miyu's outfit, it basically declares that she is flat-chested.
This isn't the end. When it's Illya's turn to use the Saber card, she's either dressed in Lily's girlish outfit or in a complete set of Artoria's battle suit, with the armor on her chest still present, adding a touch of mystery to Illya's bust size.
That's why people say Hiroyama has a really weird sense of humor.
Of course, don't think that Hiroyama is biased towards Illya. After changing into Lancer's clothes, Miyu's clothes become more serious, while Illya's are super indecent.
Not to mention the exposed midriff from the front, the back is completely bare except for the buttocks.
That's not how you wear a backless dress!
Whether Hiroyama is a perverted lolicon or not, Shinji doesn't know, but there's no doubt that he's definitely not a proper person.
Fortunately, Shinji has no plans for a third season yet, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to produce design drafts for several of the Heroic Spirit costumes.
"I really didn't expect that the movie <Devil May Cry> would be so sentimental."
After watching the entire Miyu process, Aoko leaned back on the sofa with satisfaction.
"I originally thought that Shinji Matou would just release an outfit to make some money and that would be it, but he actually replicated famous lines and played classic background music, which moved me."
Hearing Aoko say that, Azu slightly curled the corners of her mouth. "How can I get money out of your pocket if I don't move you? Mr. Matou is counting on this movie to make money."
"..."
Aoko scratched her hair in annoyance. She had indeed spent a lot of money on <Fate/kaleid liner Prisma Illya>, especially on toys.
But how could Aoko admit to something like that? She could only put on a brave face and retort to Azu's words, "Hey! He's your idol, after all. Is it okay for you to talk about him like that?"
"There's nothing wrong with that; Mr. Matou has never denied his demands regarding the business aspect."
Azu said nonchalantly, "I think Matou-san's willingness to be frank about his intentions is a reflection of his straightforward personality."
