![]() The truth that he’s nothing but hatred and the desire for revenge drives him to the depths as Saber’s voice reaches him, telling him to do what he’s capable of. Then we get a segment after the credits where he’s walking in darkness, contemplating his existence while holding onto the convenient wish that he could be Hakunon’s reincarnation. Hakuno takes the blame, claiming he wasn’t a proper Master as the credits roll. Both of them flee, leaving the injured trio laying face down on the rain. So they’re all screwed when a giant fist crashes through the ceiling and tries to crush Julius and his Berserker. Berserker’s first strike, as it turned out, had wounded her near-fatally when she covered Hakuno, which explains why she left him up to Rin since she couldn’t fight anymore against him in such a condition. She fails to do so before Rin gets knocked into the room and Saber herself is wounded enough that she can’t fight anymore. As he realizes that, a single mask representing his personality falls in his mind and he’s left beaten as Saber comes in to try and wreck Julius. He was born to ascend and kill, making that the meaning of his existence. He may not want to be nothing more than a killer, but that’s all he’ll ever be. He’s a mass of death in the shape of her components, hatred given form. Every Master who died by Twice’s hands, the ones who should have been victors in the HGW, were cast down and struck by that curse, the hatred of the dead. When the Angelia Cage closed and the HGW ended, the dead weren’t stripped of their emotions and stopped being disassembled, building up into a curse. They’re both Dead Faces left with nothing but hatred and destruction. Indeed, being a ghost would be a step-up in his eyes. However, Julius isn’t a Cyber-Ghost like Alice was. Hakuno goes Dead Face and recalls the memory of defeating him the first time, so he knows that Julius died. Julius comments on how stubborn he is to kill while kicking him around. Saber ditches Rin, leaving her to fight him, while she goes looking for her Master. Unlike everyone else, Julius recognizes Hakuno and states he’s been waiting for him before leaping down and beating on him while Saber and Rin fight against Berserker. ![]() Of course, the good mood ends when they come across Berserker and Julius. He only needs to do what he’s capable and that is enough. Since all people are different and one may not do what others can, a genius is someone who understand that cruelty. ![]() Saber tries to cheer him up by telling him her definition of genius being someone who can see the difference between themselves and others. Hakuno’s self-esteem is low enough that he can’t really think that way. She was a born loser who bore a foolish wish, practically the opposite of him, but their appearances were so similar Saber thought that she had been reborn as male. They eventually split up and Hakuno asks about Saber’s previous Master. Saber acknowledges that he’s strong and they barely beat him, but she knows all his Servant’s tricks so she’s confident they’ll be fine. Saber and her previous Master defeated him on the Fifth Floor in the last war. Rin and Saber both identify him as Julius Harwey, brother of Leo from the first episode. During the Grail War, he was also taking people out from the shadows. However, even though there isn’t a Floor Master, there’s a killer who was murdering people on Earth even before becoming a Master. They spot the ladder to the next floor and, since it has already descended, he can climb if he reaches. When they get there, Hakuno has a flashback to the scene of a city on fire from the first episode. She’s optimistic but Rin isn’t as she gives them both raincoats since the Fifth Floor is nothing but rain. Then we cut to what leads up to that, with Saber mentioning that the Fourth Floor Master and Servant weren’t even worth mentioning. Hakuno can’t find it in him to rebuke his words either. The twisted landscape gives way to Hakuno having a discussion with someone else who tells him that he’ll never be satisfied with anything, lacking in a wish and a desire to live. The episode opens with a shot of a ruined city shrouded in dark clouds, the dull colors padded out by rain and thunder. The eighth episode of Fate Extra: Last Encore has aired, and so I’ve come to give my review.
