Fate/Zero – 25 (END)
「運命ゼロ」 (Unmei zero)
“Fate/Zero”
I don’t think I could have asked for a better conclusion to a series as special as this one.

「運命ゼロ」 (Unmei zero)
“Fate/Zero”
I don’t think I could have asked for a better conclusion to a series as special as this one.
「最果ての海」 (Saihate no Umi)
“The Sea at the World’s Edge”
The banquet of kings concluded with a feast for our eyes and an emptiness in our hearts. We all knew it was going to happen, but the expectation did not diminish the epicness of the moment.
「この世全ての悪」 (Konoyo Subete no Aku)
“All Evil in this World”
There’s never a dull episode in Fate/Zero, even when most of it revolves around character interactions on the eve of the final battle.
「双輪の騎士」 (Sourin no Kishi)
“Knight on Two Wheels”
The word tragedy might not be sufficiently depressing enough to describe this series.
「暗殺者の帰還」 (Ansatsusha no Kikan)
“Return of the Assassin”
If I weren’t dead inside, I would have shed many a tear watching this episode, as it’s a hard dose of reality for everyone in Fate/Zero this week with each character coming face-to-face with what they really are, and the role they must play in the Fourth Holy Grail War. The episode also contains a great dichotomy – a doll masquerading as a human being, and a human being that calls itself a machine. However, nothing makes saying goodbye any easier.
「正義の在処」 (Seigi no Arika)
“Where Justice is Found”
Fate/Zero is a series where one set of opinions doesn’t suffice, and so just like ZephEnzo™ did for Jormangand and Eureka Seven AO, BakaMochi and I have collaborated on this post to try and give more insight to a show that deserves every single word of it.
「遠い記憶」 (Toui Kioku)
“Distant Memories”
Sometimes… it is the things that we lose, not the things that we gain, that shape us into who are, and who we become.
「第八の契約」 (Daihachi no Keiyaku)
“The Eighth Contract”
And so the apprentice becomes the master.
「栄誉の果て」 (Eiyo no Hate)
“The End of Honor”
One of the most emotional episodes to date, this sixteenth episode was also one of the most thought-provoking as well.
