KOUKOU GURASHI 0.22 SERIES

The two of them are some of my favorites characters of this series, and each week I look forward to their banter almost as much as anything else in the show. For both individuals, even if it wasnвЂ™t by choice, they are all too familiar with a life of solitude as was necessitated by the pursuit of their ideals.ДЄt the other end of the scale is the bromance between Waver and Rider. In KiritsuguвЂ™s case, weвЂ™ve already seen in his backstory episodes why heвЂ™s so used to being alone, but as for Saber, we only learn of her emotional detachment in her life as Arturia from Rider referencing it during their dialogue in episode 11. Both have spent much of their lives alone, a sacrifice they have made in order to achieve their goals. Whatever their relationship might be, the two are actually more alike than they realize, like weвЂ™ve seen several times before. Neither Master nor Servant show any signs that their relationship is anything more than a business one, as exemplified by their attire. Kiritsugu even forgets about Saber, and when she comes to deliver her report, he doesnвЂ™t even say a word to her. Each has recently lost the person that they are most used to working with, but instead of turning to one another for support, they continue on working alone. The first duo shown, Kiritsugu and Saber, have little relationship to speak of, much less friendship. The first theme I noticed was that a good portion of this episode was dedicated to showing the differences in relationships that each pair of Master and Servant had. I do apologize for the lack of flow and cohesion that I usually strive for in my posts. So instead, IвЂ™m going with mini-essays in order to cover everything I want to. This particular episode proved to be a bit of a challenge to write about primarily because there isnвЂ™t a central theme I could focus on.

Thankfully, each episode is packed to the brim with enough material for two episodes of most other shows, but in some cases this can be more of a curse as well. Unfortunately, the countdown at the end of each episode stands as a vivid reminder that like all good things, this too must come to an end.

With such a large swath of the moral spectrum represented in this seriesвЂ™ ensemble cast, the dynamics between the characters are even more complex than the already superbly choreographed action sequences, and thatвЂ™s what makes this series unique, and itвЂ™s why I savor every second, hoping each episode will never end. Just as I enjoy watching every swing of the sword, every parry and every riposte, dissecting the dialogue of this series phrase by phrase and word by word gives me the same enjoyment, if not more. ThereвЂ™s never a dull episode in Fate/Zero, even when most of it revolves around character interactions on the eve of the final battle.
