Fate Extra Last Encore Ost Again

「無限の残骸 アンリミテッド／レイズ・デッド」 (Mugen no Zangai -Anrimiteddo / Reizu Deddo-)
"Infinite Remains -Unlimited/Raise Dead-"

I've talked before about how Fate/EXTRA Final Encore has been either metaphor for heaven or purgatory, simply from appearances information technology seems that the sixth stratum of SE.RA.PH is modelled after the frozen lake of Cocytus. I was asking for something big for episode 10 last week, and I guess the lowest circle of hell fits the bill. More relevantly for the plot, it'southward also time to find out what the deal is with Rin (and by extension Rani). We've had a a string of revelatory episodes recently, our two supporters are the last big mystery left to be addressed. They are arguably the only characters who seem to know what'due south going on, who seem to have a plan going forward, and who seem to have changed the nigh compared to their game incarnations (what with their newfound magical girl powers and all), and I don't think I'm the only one who wants to meet what they're all about unravelled.

While Rin and Rani's Concluding Encore incarnations are quite conflicting for those familiar with them from the original game (as I am), I imagine they must be fifty-fifty more than so for those who accept not played the game at all. For those of that number who are nevertheless following along, my commendations. I admire your perseverance in the face of an anime that was not made for you at all. Information technology's clear at present that Last Encore is simply an avenue for Nasu to play around with his old Fate/Extra ideas, with no regard to who may be watching. And the big idea behind Rin and Rani in Fate/EXTRA is that, ultimately, only one gets to alive. In the game, Rin and Rani were ad hoc allies of the role player who offered aid and comfort from time to time. they were indeed matched against each in a round of the Holy Grail War, and were perched to kill each other. The histrion can intervene, but tin can only choose to relieve one of them. The other eventually becomes an opponent in a subsequently round, and the histrion has to kill her. It'due south the classic visual novel diverging route, a choice that splits the story into ii. In the grand scheme, though, this choice wasn't really very impactful on the plot, with the branching narrative reconverging speedily and the only lasting effect beingness whether Rin or Rani live to come across the end.

In a way, Nasu seems to be questioning this road branch in Last Encore. The entire split is arbitrary. The simply takeaway is that either Rin or Rani must die. Last calendar week I talked near how Nasu is simply really concerned nigh this thematic core, and here all the bollocks most getting Matrix-batteried is really simply in that location to put Hakuno into a dilemma. Our protagonist zombie, who just recently grappled with the meaning of life, has to counterbalance life and death yet again. His natural instinct — to try to salve them both — is hard to fault, just information technology is doomed to failure. If Hakuno actually wanted to both to live, he could have just left them there, but that doesn't really solve anything, does it? Similarly, in the videogame the only pick to move on is to kill Rin or Rani. The only alternative is to literally put the game downwardly. Stop playing it. Never advance. And that's the way it is for the Holy Grail War. The simply manner to move forward is to kill your opponent, and Nasu always posited that as a morally justifiable action. His thesis is that life is more than being, and therefore conflict is acceptable for progress, and peace should non be priced with stagnation. And it is in the capricious framework of the Holy Grail War, and the fifty-fifty more capricious framework of a videogame ready effectually a Holy Grail State of war, where the choice is clearest. No matter what, proceed moving forward.

Ironically, this is equally far forward as the Final Encore can motion, for at present. We've run out of air time. We accept to end at episode 10. We'll be getting an episode 11… later, via the net, just for now I guess we're on hiatus. Information technology may seem bizarre that we're stopping here, just it'south just SHAFT doing SHAFT things. Anime product is a messy business, evidently. So let'southward insert our bookmark here and put Fate/Actress Last Encore back on the shelf temporarily. While nosotros wait, we can enjoy the new Leap 2018 anime flavour. I'll encounter you all back here in a few months for the rest of Last Encore.
