Being a Stubborn Pest Is an Essential Trait for a Hot-Blooded Protagonist

It's hard to say, but the judge felt he had done nothing wrong and upheld justice.

Shinji said, "We can't count on Japan anymore; we'll have to go to Thailand to file a lawsuit. Uncle, you'll have to appear in court as a representative of Tsuburaya's top management."

"Wait a minute!" Kariya shouted, "If they can't do it on their home turf in Japan, how can they possibly succeed in Thailand?"

"Of course, I've already Kenseth to contact Mage Families doing business in Thailand; they'll facilitate our case."

"But..."

Before Kariya could say anything more, Shinji patted him hard on the shoulder.

"We'll talk about Uncle's womanizing when he gets back. Go take care of business first."

"Get out of here!"

Having his thoughts exposed, Kariya gave Shinji the middle finger to express his affection for his nephew.

For a period of time afterward, Shinji temporarily stopped considering matters related to Super 8 and began to focus all his efforts on promoting UBW, which was already in its middle stages of airing.

On the one hand, there are too many actors involved in <Super 8>, and it will take time for Tsuburaya Productions to confirm them one by one.

On the other hand, the storyline of UBW has reached its most exciting moment.

After Archer's betrayal, Shirou and Rin had to seek help from Illya in order to gain combat power, which happened to coincide with Gilgamesh attack on Eizenbern Castle.

And so, the invincible Heracles fell once again.

With nowhere else to turn Shirou and Rin have no choice but to ally with Lancer. The two Masters who have lost their Servant and a Servant who is not theirs team up to farm the Church's Cater scenario.

A major battle is about to break out.

Coincidentally, the broadcast date for this showdown between the main characters and the Caster team was April 29th, which happened to be Japan's public holiday, "Greenery Day".

With the added bonus of a rest day, the viewership of this episode directly surpassed the 40% record of the first episode of UBW, reaching 45.2%!

Chapter 111 A Dog-Skin Plaster is an Essential Attribute for a Passionate Male Protagonist

"I've been looking forward to today's episode for so long."

"It's still the Kuzunoha residence, still the same living room," Azu said to Aoko beside her.

"Today's episode is going to be very interesting."

"I agree." Aoko nodded. "After the Caster group's story ends, the rest of the story will probably be similar to the movie version."

Since Gilgamesh forcefully killed Heracles and seized the Lesser Grail in the previous episode, the subsequent plot has been discussed countless times by fans online.

After nearly a week of back-and-forth and various heated arguments, a outline of future UBW storylines that was accepted by the vast majority of fans was finally reached.

According to this outline's prediction of the upcoming plot, the main characters should be able to defeat Caster and reclaim Saber with Lancer's help.

Then Lancer and the protagonist will be at odds again, but Gilgamesh and Kirei Kotomine will soon appear and cause trouble.

Lancer, who disapproves of their behavior, is likely to betray his team and then be killed by Gilgamesh.

The final battle will be a replica of the movie version, with Saber and Shirou fighting Gilgamesh and Kirei Kotomine.

Aoko agreed with this plot prediction; it was reasonable and didn't go too far.

The only thing that puzzled Aoko was the handling of the Archer character.

There's not much more to the Caster character's backstory; her identity, her past, and her motives have all been revealed to the audience. All that's left is for her to meet her end.

Archer is different; this character is very important in the TV series, Shinji Matou devoted a lot of screen time to depicting him.

Aoko believes that Archer will likely play a key role in the later part of the story.

"If only I knew Archer's real name."

Aoko rolled her eyes and said.

The TV series is already two-thirds over, and Archer's real name has still not been revealed. This shows that his real name is very important, and its revelation would be major news.

"At first, everyone guessed that Archer's real name was that of the ancient Chinese swordsmith, but judging from the UBW storyline, that's clearly not the case."

Azu flipped through her notebook, reading aloud the information recorded inside.

"Some people are speculating that Archer's real name might be Muramasa, a Japan swordsmith, because he used a Japan sword as a weapon on several occasions."

Aoko shook her head. "But doesn't Archer use Gan Jiang Mo Ye more often? The term 'Chinese swordsmith' is more accurate."

"I also don't think it could be Muramasa," Azu commented. "But it can't be any other swordsmith either, because if that were the case, there would be no need to keep the character's real name a secret until now, right? Archer's name must hold some incredible secret."

Aoko pouted and complained, "I really want to figure this out as soon as possible. That brat from the Matou Family always likes to make things mysterious."

"That's called creating suspense."

When it comes to protecting her idol, Azu never holds back.

However, Azu didn't last long this time because the TV series had already started.

Aoko stopped arguing with Azu; she wanted to watch TV too.

UBW is indeed a good TV series, Aoko quickly got into character.

The episode opens with the final battle in the church.

At the end of the previous episode, the main characters had already made their respective assignments.

Lancer is responsible for dealing with Archer, Rin is responsible for dealing with Caster, and Shirou is responsible for stalling Teacher while Rin deals with Caster.

It was a risky plan, but Tohsaka Rin, with no other options, couldn't come up with a better strategy.

Like most movies and TV shows, the operation went smoothly at first.

With just three sentences, the hatred between Lancer and Archer reached its peak, and the two started fighting in the church grounds.

However, Shinji avoided showing the exciting fight scene between the two Servant that everyone wanted to see, and instead switched the scene to a stalemate inside the church.

That's not quite right, because the only weakling is Shirou Emiya, while he has to face the killer fist Kuzuki, whose combat power is off the charts.

Many people thought Shirou would be defeated quickly, but unexpectedly, this male protagonist, who always gave people the impression of being a weakling, actually managed to fight Kuzuki to a standstill using Projection Magecraft —what a joke.

In reality, Shirou was still getting beaten up unilaterally, but this boy had the stubborn, persistent nature that all hot-blooded male protagonists possess—he would beat them to a pulp as long as he wasn't killed.

Despite being repeatedly defeated by Kuzuki, Shirou Emiya did not lose heart, but charged forward once again.

However, just when the audience thought the plot would finish showing the fight inside the church, with a change of scene, the plot began to show the battle between Archer and Lancer.

However, Shinji did not use ordinary editing techniques; instead, he deliberately overlapped and replaced Shirou's and Red A's shots.

"Was that shot just now a hint?"

In the Type-Moon Company's lounge, Iskandar was drinking again, couldn't help but smack his lips as he watched the camera switch.

"Ah, what a pity. If only this lad could become my bodyguard."

Iskandar downed the wine in his glass in one gulp and then uttered this exclamation.

Gilgamesh sneered, "King of Conquerors, you're after that fake weapon, aren't you?"

"There's no other way," the King of Conquerors shook his finger, "I can't beat you, you Golden Gil., so I guess I'll have to turn to this Archer."

"His sword, combined with my soldiers, will create the most invincible army in the world! We will be able to conquer the entire world!!"

Perhaps recalling the image of himself conquering all sides on horseback, the King of Conquerors excitedly slammed his fist into the table, creating a large dent.

"Then your invincible army will be wiped out by a nuclear bomb."

Enkidu Iskandar's hopes.

It's hard to say if it's the full-fledged Ionioi Hetairoi combined with Unlimited Blade Works, but given Iskandar and Red A's current Spirit Core Strength, they could probably be taken down by a wave of missiles from a modern army without even needing nuclear weapons.

"Hey, Chains of God." Iskandar tapped Enkidu's head with his finger. "Don't spoil my fun."

Enkidu chuckled, "I'm just reminding you not to do anything foolish. Don't cause trouble for Master."

"You're such a spoilsport."

Iskandar made a similar complaint again, but it was just a complaint.

If you really anger this green-haired guy, he'll definitely hang you up with the Chains of Heaven.

"Sigh, why did I have to have a divine nature? I wish I hadn't boasted that I was the son of Zeus when I was alive."

Unable to gain the upper hand verbally, Iskandar could only turn his attention back to television.

"A knight who stuck to his path, only to be betrayed by his dreams?"

Watching Archer bravely fight Cú Chulainn on the screen, Iskandar shook his head regretfully.

What a stupid guy.

However, he didn't dislike it.

In fact, Iskandar admires Red A because even though he was betrayed by his dream, he continued to move forward on this path.

After reading the UBW script, Iskandar immediately guessed, based on his understanding of Red A, that the other party never intended to kill his past self.

Red A wants to do is help his past self complete his ideals and prevent him from repeating his old mistakes.

Red A's aloof attitude was simply because the other party was arrogant.

"A cute idiot."

Iskandar muttered to himself as he refilled his glass.

◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆

Compared to the King of Conquerors, who knew everything from the script, the two female Magecraft currently at the Kuzunoha residence evoke a different feeling.

Aoko and Azu certainly noticed the suggestive shot, but they didn't think about it too much.

To be precise, they didn't have time to think about it, because what followed this shot was a fast-paced fight.

They had to be completely focused and couldn't afford to lose their concentration for even a moment.

In fact, after experiencing the battle atmosphere of the two Heroic Spirit that surpassed that of humans, Aoko even felt her adrenaline levels slowly rising.

She's got the urge to fight the Heroic Spirit again.

I like this TV series.

Aoko said this, she licked the corner of her mouth with her tongue.

Azu, standing beside her, rolled her eyes.

[Aoko's attention-seeking tantrums have struck again.]

Azu made up her mind in an instant.

At that moment, a muffled rumble of thunder suddenly echoed in the living room.

It wasn't thunder outside; Lancer had simply thrown his magic spear at Red A.

Lancer leaped high into the air like a celestial warrior descending from heaven, his hurled red magic spear distorting the surrounding air.

"Piercing Death's Spear (Gáe Bolg)--!"

Faced with this deadly spear that invokes cause and effect, Archer did not sit idly by and wait for his doom.

He stretched out his hand and Projection a shield in the shape of cherry blossoms, its name being --

"The Seven Heavens Arch!"

The gun and shield collided in mid-air, and the storm and high temperature continuously swirled, shattered, and scattered the debris.

Even through the screen, Aoko could feel the powerful wind blowing.

This collision, resembling a comet hitting Earth, ultimately ended in a draw.

Lancer's ultimate attack failed to pierce the enemy's heart. Although Archer blocked the demonic spear, the price was his own body riddled with wounds.

Seeing his ultimate attack blocked, Lancer was absolutely furious.

"This is getting interesting, who will win?"

Aoko's eyes lit up.

The current battle situation seems to favor Cú Chulainn, but all his trump cards have been revealed, while the opposing Red A still maintains a certain degree of mystery.

This information asymmetry only made Aoko more eager for the outcome of the battle.

However, just when Aoko thought the two Heroic Spirit were about to unleash their trump cards, the two knights on screen parted ways after exchanging pleasantries.

They've actually stopped playing!
