Fate/Zero/Tear Jerker: Difference between revisions

Line 9:

** Caster's hallucination of Jeanne d'Arc, smiling kindly and holding out a hand for him to take {{spoiler|before his death.}} Even worse, it's implied that [[Face Heel Door Slam|he might have been about to make a]] [[Heel Face Turn]].

*** [[My God, What Have I Done?|What.....have I...]]

* {{spoiler|Kayneth willingly gives up in the Grail war in order to save Sola-Ui, throwing away his pride and choosing to protect the woman he loves instead. [[Kick the Dog|Then they both ~~die~~.]] }}

* {{spoiler|Kayneth willingly gives up in the Grail war in order to save Sola-Ui, throwing away his pride, magic, and basically everything he worked his entire life for, and choosing to protect the woman he loves instead, even knowing she didn't love him half as much as he did her. [[Kick the Dog|Then, they are both shot and Sola-Ui dies. Kayneth then begs for Kiritsugu to kill him, but Kiritsugu reminds him that per their contract, HE couldn't. Saber then walks up and finishes Kayneth off... His blood stains are all over Excalibur.]] Kayneth may have been a jerk, but this troper wouldn't wish what happened to him to happen to my worst enemy on my worst day...}}

* Kiritsugu having to kill {{spoiler|his mentor and adoptive mother}} to prevent a zombie outbreak in his backstory.

** {{spoiler|The episode in question aired on Mother's Day for extra despair.}}

** {{spoiler|When Kiritsugu is inside the holy grail, he sees visions of the past and is shown just how his wish was going to be granted, but then to rub extra salt in the wound, it implies that what he truly wanted was Iris and Ilya back. How then was the grail going to grant this? By wiping out all the rest of the world. So it forces him to come to a decision... In the grail, he shoots Ilya, and then kills Iris with his bare hands (both were just visions, but still.) The biggest grain of salt about THAT episode, comes from the fact that said episode premiered on Father's Day}}.

* A great deal happens during the events of Fate/Zero, to be certain, but one of the most heart-wrenching tear jerking things of the entire series is what becomes of the 4 main children following the events of Zero. It's actually VERY difficult to determine who has it the worst of the 4:

** Shirou Emiya - A young boy who would later become the main character of the events of Fate/Stay Night. He only shows up at the very end of Zero, but when he DOES appear, it's because the fire following the destruction of the holy grail had burned a huge portion of the city. It leaves him deeply traumatized, but it also took away all that he was prior to the fire, his old life, his old home, and his old family. He lost everything that day. Sure, Kiritsugu saved his life and adopted him, but he passed away 3 or 4 years prior to F/SN's beginning, leaving Shirou alone once more.
