A Revolution in Magical Incantations!

The Golden Radiance illuminated the dark building, and the light that shot straight into the sky was the light of victory.

Unfortunately, this time the Holy Sword named Victory did not bring victory to its master.

"Hahaha--"

Miyu, gripping her sword with both hands, gasped for breath. From a deep passage not far in front of her, came the heavy breathing of a wild beast.

"This scene is so realistically recreated!"

Fujiwara didn't need to offer any further explanation; everyone could immediately see that Miyu's scene was a homage to Saber and Berserker's first battle in the FSN movie.

At that time, Saber was also leaning on her sword, barely supporting her body.

Uncle Hai is just as powerful as he was back then, inspiring awe in those who see him.

The early plot of <Magical Girl Prisma Illya> is a very typical shonen manga storyline—except for Hiroyama's constant lewdness.

Viewers had guessed before the battle even started that Miyu wouldn't be able to defeat Uncle Hai, but they didn't expect Shinji Matou to take the tribute to the extreme, leaving them speechless.

"They love irresponsibly creating plot holes and leaving no room for doubt. The story is already halfway through, and they still haven't figured out how to fill in the gaps. That seaweed-haired Director is just too much!"

Shinji Matou's stories are all very good, but he only tells 90% of each story, leaving 10% unresolved to lay the groundwork for later plot developments.

This kind of suspenseful tactic naturally annoyed many viewers, Aoko sometimes referred to Second Master as "Shen, the one who digs pits."

Despite my dissatisfaction, I'll still keep watching Shinji's works.

There's no way around it; Shinji's films are just so good!

"This guy digs holes every day, isn't he afraid that one day he won't be able to fill them and will bury himself?"

Aoko was still resentful that Irisviel hadn't explained the source of Illya's power clearly before, and kept complaining about it.

If Shinji heard Aoko say that about him, he would definitely cry out that he was wronged.

The problem of creating plot holes isn't Shinji's fault; it's the fault of all the creators in the Type-Moon universe!

Just like online novel authors are born with the ability to create cliffhangers, Type-Moon authors are born with the ability to dig plot holes, and each one is bigger than the last.

Look at Hiroyama, the author of "Fate/kaleid liner Prisma Illya". In the first season of the manga, before we even knew if he would continue drawing, he dug all sorts of plot holes, from the source of Illya's power to the identity of the mysterious girl Miyu. Basically, he dug all the major plot holes of the main storyline of "Fate/kaleid liner Prisma Illya" in the first season.

It's really amazing that he had the guts to do this. If the comic ends in one season, all his settings will just remain settings forever.

No, using the technical terminology of the Type-Moon system, this behavior should be called launching a satellite.

Before his transmigration, when Shinji was still a fan of the Moon series, he had similar questions to Aoko:

These people are always making unrealistic claims; what if one day they themselves become the ones being used as unrealistic targets by their fans?

When Shinji personally began designing the Type-Moon cinematic universe and strategically planning his own works, he realized—launching ambitious projects was truly exhilarating!

Fill the hole? What a load of rubbish!

What serious creator would actually finish filling in all the plot holes they created?

So they stopped scamming people after that?

Pshaw!

Now that all the plot holes have been filled, how are we going to make a sequel?

Which of those works that fill in the plot holes and then force out a new one isn't a poor sequel? Which one doesn't suffer a complete collapse in reputation?

What if there are too many satellites and they can't all land in time?

Whatever~

As long as there's an ending, the audience will always buy tickets.

If you manage to tell 90% of the story and leave 10% untold, even if the story is incomplete, the audience will at most feel regret, but won't feel like the story is poorly written or forced to fill in plot holes.

After all, even the Monkey King has said things like "Nothing in heaven and earth is perfect, let alone scriptures." Shinji, is just a lousy moviemaker, so why should he produce a perfect work?

Of course, viewers like Aoko who are so attached to the setting are still a minority.

When Miyu's Saber card popped out and she was forced back into Magical Girl form, most viewers' attention had already returned to the tense and exciting plot.

"Have you run out of magic? Saffia, come back quickly!"

Miyu, lying on the ground, reached out her hand to Saffia, who was not far away, "Quickly, provide magic power..."

But a large black hand slammed the sapphire staff to the floor before it could move.

Having fully recovered, Uncle Hai appeared unharmed before Miyu. He was enveloped in white smoke, staring at Miyu with a ferocious expression, like a lion that had spotted its prey.

"Oh no... this is terrible..."

Although the Sapphire Staff longed to escape Uncle Hai's massive grasp and support its Master, its meager strength was nothing compared to the [Strength: A+] Uncle Hai– it was more like "a gentle tap on the chest with a small fist."

Rin and Luviya are outside the Mirror Realm, the Sapphire Staff is firmly held by the enemy, and Illya is far away at home.

Faced with this crisis, Miyu could do was exclaim, "Oh no, this is troublesome!"

Great, without outside help, Miyu is doomed this time.

Unfortunately, Shinji isn't Urobutcher, nor Tomino, nor Okada Mari; he couldn't pull off such a chaotic and nonsensical operation.

Just as Uncle Hai was about to touch Miyu's body, a sword light pierced through his body from the sky.

"■■■■--!"

The black giant let out a mournful cry. He was indeed immortal, but he was not a super beast, so how could he be without pain?

If he were protecting the little girl at that moment, he might still be able to endure the pain and attack the enemy.

But now Uncle Hai is appearing alone, without the super-strong "protecting the loli" buff, not to mention that the one attacking him is that loli.

"■■■■--!"

Uncle Hai clutched his chest and roared in pain, but Illya, who had come to his aid, ignored the pained mask on the enemy's face and immediately issued the battle order.

"Rin, I succeeded on this side!"

Snap!

Several gems fell from the sky, and then two figures, one red and one blue, darted out and cast Magecraft on Uncle Hai.

"Anfang--!"

"Zsichen--!"

" --Six Shackles of Beast Binding!"*2

War can be so unpredictable; in just a few seconds of crying out in pain, Uncle Hai was bound by Rin and Luviya using Magecraft.

However, Rin, who had tied up Uncle Hai, was not happy at all; instead, she burst into tears on the side.

"Holy crap!!! This is going to be a massive deficit!!"

Seeing Tohsaka Rin crying and screaming, Illya and the audience were both amused and exasperated.

To still care about this kind of thing during a fight, Tohsaka Rin, you're truly something else!

The next part of the plot is what viewers love to see: the confession, or rather, the heartfelt expression of love.

The two little girls, whose hearts were in perfect harmony, unleashed an incredible power at that moment.

"Kaleidscope--!"

Just like the spectacular FGO gacha system where a golden light followed by a colorful circle appears, several Excaliburs gathered into a circle above the two Magical Girl.

"Haaaaaah----!"*2

Amidst the loli's coquettish cries, Excalibur simultaneously unleashed his light cannon at Uncle Hai.

"It's so dazzling!"

The dazzling golden light emanating from the television screen was so blinding that Aoko had to squint.

"Heracles was really pitiful. In the movie version, he was Seven Kills with One Sword by the sword of the King of Knights in one strike, and everyone says that there are some inexplicable points in this plot."

"So, is Shinji Matou planning to fix the bug of 'Seven Kills with One Sword' and go for 'Seven Swords Kills Seven' instead?"

"No," Azu kindly reminded her, "According to the calculations, this should be two people using nine swords to kill nine times."

"Anyway, it's just one sword, one life~"

Fujita continued peddling his conspiracy theory, "The worst part isn't that the location of this murder is the same place where Uncle Hai was ordered to kill people in the movie version?"

"In the end, it became the crime scene where he was killed by a loli. So, this is Shinji Matou's answer, isn't it? Anyone who kills me, I will definitely take my revenge!"

Azu snorted coldly, "Don't talk nonsense! Why didn't Mr. Matou lay a hand on his sister Matou Sakura?"

It's a pity Shinji couldn't hear Arisu's Azu, otherwise he would definitely have added, "I wish I could too, but I can't beat Sakura."

Regardless, Uncle Hai still lost to the King of Knights' weapon this time, which can be seen as a tribute to the Fate Route in Fate/stay night.

As the sun pierced through the night, Berserker transformed into a card, and the Magical Girl's night came to an end.

With the Servant Class Card collected, Illya Miyu's Magical Girl quest has come to an end.

For Illya, this dreamlike week had finally come to an end, and the daily life she had longed for had finally returned.

How could that be!

Miyu, having been won over by Illya, became completely her slingshot, clinging to Illya's arm even when they were at school.

That's not all; Miyu is extremely cold to everyone except Illya, and only smiles at Illya.

When confronted by Illya, her response was remarkably confident and assertive.

"You are my only friend in this lifetime! What happens to others is none of my business!"

It seems the battle is over.

But for Illya, the troubles were just beginning.

Meanwhile, Luviya, who escaped by helicopter after collecting the cards, and Rin, who immediately jumped out of the helicopter to give chase, determined the winner the next morning.

By crashing the helicopter, Tohsaka Rin finally managed to subdue Luviya and win the ultimate prize of the mission—7 Class Card.

However, Tohsaka Rin won the battle, was greeted with a phone call from Britain.

The study abroad period is one year.

On the other end of the phone came Kirei Kotomine's voice, making a cameo appearance.

"You need to correct your bad habit of ruining the classroom by fighting first!"

"It won't be too late to take you as disciples later!"

After saying that, Kenseth hung up the phone on the other end in Britain.

"What the hell are you talking about—ahhh!"

Echoing through the forest was Tohsaka Rin Tohsaka's hysterical roar.

In conclusion, for various reasons, everyone stayed in Fuyuki City.

This troublesome and chaotic relationship will continue as a daily occurrence in Fuyuki City.

With this, the first half of <Magical Girl Prisma Illya> has come to an end.

After the ending theme song, a plane from Britain landed at a Japan airport.

A woman with short purple hair, wearing a suit and silver earrings, walked out of the airport; her destination was Fuyuki City.

The story of <Magical Girl Prisma Illya> is not over yet...

Chapter 321 brings about a revolution in Magecraft incantations!

"Ugh, the next episode is going to lose to a recap episode... the most boring content ever."

Looking at the preview for the next episode on the TV screen, Aoko sighed.

If we're talking about what anime viewers hate the most, aside from deliberately disgusting plots, recap episodes are definitely one of the worst.

Fortunately, the recap episode of <Magical Girl Prisma Illya> appeared at the end of the season, just as a major storyline concluded.

Releasing a recap episode at this time can be somewhat explained as a summary of the plot by those who haven't finished watching the season.

If a recap episode is released in the middle of this season, it's definitely a lazy attempt by the production team to buy time.

Of course, even if it's just to drag things out, the situation like Zeta, where recap episodes are released from time to time, is an extremely rare case.

That's because the situation with Zeta was too special. When Tsuburaya Productions was planning the project, they took into account the Tokyo Olympics taking up the airtime, so they deliberately planned fewer episodes.
