Can someone refresh my memory? Why did he do this again? To avoid having his waifu subjected to the matou worms?

Ultimate kekold.

Kariya was an idiot caught up in a fantasy where he was the hero who kills the evil Tokiomi and saves Aoi from his clutches. Too bad he never considered the possibility that Aoi actually loved her husband and when he realized that fact he went berserk and tried to strangle her to death.

People like you are the fucking problem. And yes, he is the ultimate cuck.
>>
>>140610419
Tokiomi literally done nothing wrong. He is just a person born and raised with different value than muggles. He drove himself from a talentless man to a reasonably successful magus. He is a good father to Rin and a good husband to Aoi. He already explain that if Sakura grown up without magic crest she would be abuse and manipulate by other anyway so at least with the Matou's crest she would have ability to protect herself. Even with Kotomine he come out clean about using him as well as teaching him as good as he taught Rin,
The only reason of his downfall is because Gil and Kotomine are such deviant that a rather normal person like him just never imagine it.
>>
>>140610484
Nah, Kayneth might have been a fuck up during the war but at least he was very accomplished mage in his life and one of the most powerful people in Clocktower. Tokiomi is literally a nobody that accomplished nothing
>>
>>140608961
Just more proof that protecting Sakura is always a bad decision.
>>
>>140610791
>Sakura
Please, he was doing it for Aoi.
>>
>>140610694
What I wanted to say that he got what he deserved. He wanted both daughters to be strong mages and wanted to win the war easily. Instead his plan was torned to pieces and he got fucked in the ass by the apprentice he wanted to sacrifice for the sake of victory.
>>
>>140610694
Same poster here, just remember that he did not use contraceptive for some reason though. That is the one thing he did wrong.
>>140610803
He probably genuinely wanted to save Sakura but somewhere along the line it became an excuse for his feeling toward Aoi and his jealousy toward Tokiomi.
>>
>>140608961
He got a cool servant at least.
>>
>>140610694
>>140610953
>Same poster here, just remember that he did not use contraceptive for some reason though. That is the one thing he did wrong.

Tokiomi misjudged the potency of Aoi's magical womb.

Tohsaka luck always strikes at the worst possible time.
>>
>>140608961
Why didn't he just kill Zouken? If he had ordered Berserker to kill the old man, he could have saved Sakura, sure, he'd end up dead, but at very least he would accomplish the feat of saving the daughter of the woman he loved.
>>
>>140611099
>killing Zouken
Then he should've killed Sakura too.
>>
>>140611099
Zouken is immortal as long as his worm is inside Sakura or some shit. In HF he need to be exorcist by Kirei, squished by Dark Sakura and even then still survive for sometime until he gave up. Even Kariya probably knew brute force is useless again him, and I don't think as a master he even has capacity to "defeat" ancient magus like Zouken anyway, even with uber servant.
>>
>>140611212
Her heart
>>
>>140610367
Because Aoi, is a descendant of the Zenjou family, possessed the ability to bring out the best in her children's powers, Zouken planned to set her up with Kariya, which resulted in the two befriending each other and Kariya falling in love with her. After Kariya found out Zouken's plans for the heir, he willingly gave up his romantic pursuit of Aoi and left Fuyuki in order to protect her from Zouken.
>>
>>140611212
He didn't do that except in HF when he changed his plan from using her as a breeder to actually using her as a false grail. Shinji kills him using Gil in UBW and he's fine a year later in the epilogue without Zouken managing to do anything against him. Meaning Zouken either didn't put his soul worm in Sakura outside HF, or he is actually completely and fundamentally useless and can't do anything with his body and familiars destroyed, even without Sakura going dark.
>>
>>140611212
Damn, I didn't know that piece of shit old man was so overpowered.
>>
>>140610396
he is still a cuck
>>
>>140611324
>>140611324
It comes at the price of his soul decaying ever more rapidly. He's well on the way to being gone even in the fourth war.

Zouken had a hard life.
>>
>>140611324
He's not. He'd actually get wrecked by most of the mages in the series in a fight, and like was said here >>140611319
if he has always had his Soul Worm in Sakura that means that method of surviving makes him impotent and useless, since Shinji got away with killing him.

Interlude. They don't mention him by name since they don't want to spoil the surprise, but it has him in the basement crushing the last remaining familiars while basically laughing and gloating about how he's the one in control.

So yeah, either Zouken's dead or he's useless and can't even do anything to Shinji over the next year.
>>
>>140611535
he treated sakura and rin as his own daughters faggot.
>>
>>140608961
Kotomine is Sakura's true saviour.
>>
>>140611630
No, he was a delusional faggot who thought that he Aoi would love him and become his woman if he did it. The whole choking her thing was in his own thoughts because she dared not appreciate how far he'd gone and actually gave a shit about her husband still, even though he told her literally nothing of what he'd actually done.

Though that's just like how in the scene with Tokiomi, where the only thing he says to him is that Sakura's gone through pain, which means nothing since normal fucking magus training is painful, and Tokiomi's like "yeah? that's normal she's a magus" and Kariya goes full fucking retard.

He's the epitome of a fedora faggot who literally thinks the world revolves around them.

He literally spent a decade preparing for the war.
>>
>>140611703
>No, he was a delusional faggot who thought that he Aoi would love him and become his woman if he did it.
you do know kariya didn't pursue Aoi because he knew she was already happy with Tokiomi and just leave it be.
>>
>>140611355
The saddest thing is that he initially wanted to survive just to see his goal to completion, but eventually forgot everything other than the fact that he wanted to survive. The moment he truly gives up is the moment he sees Justicia inside the Grail and realizes that he once strived for something great and noble.

Zouken had it almost as bad as Kariya.
>>
>>140611560
Lancer was an okay guy, I still feel bad for him.
>>
>>140611816
Actually read the novel. He invents his own fucking world of delusion, never explains anything to anyone, and then blames those people and determines them as the worst because they don't know things he hasn't told them.

>>140611816
Nah, that's surface level stuff. His real feelings come out later and he's a fucking nutjob. He'd fit right in at tumblr.

Of course he's not that good though
>>
>>140610367
I recall a lot of people, like Kariya's parents or his brother's wife, ended up becoming a worm feed so he decided not to risk it and broke it off with her.

In all seriousness, it's a very divisive route.
Personally, I like both UBW and HF a lot. HF would definitely be my favourite if it weren't for the fact that Shirou and Sakura have no chemistry and are such a boring pairing.

He should have gotten a better catalyst.

His brother-in-law is the successor of the head of the Department of Evocation, and as seen in Apocrypha he was able to get really good catalysts (Achilles and Karna for example) in a very short span of time, so Kayneth is a fucking idiot to be content with someone like Diarmuid as a second plan.

>>140612867
Urobuchi pretty much said that Fate/Zero is a love letter to Fate/stay night and he would not been able to write it without the original in mind. Trying to antagonize both you are missing the whole point that Urobuchi was trying to express in the first place.

>Source: my ass
Rider was a terrible king, sure he was a hero but his royal duties were neglected. He basically forgot about the giant kingdom he left in his wake because he was running after Okeanos. Saber did everything she could for her kingdom, started a golden age after the Roman Empire fell and held together a kingdom that was on the brink of collapse.

>>140612838
I'm sorry, when people say it shits on Saber they usually talk about the banquet scene. But still, the point of Saber in Zero was never to shit on her character or show her chivalry, but show how desperate she is to get the grail.

I don't think Saber is retarded for thinking the way she did. Her kingdom fell -> she thinks she's in the wrong -> she should just wish for herself to disappear. That's a pretty standard way of thinking.

Waver was a bit of a whiny faggot who was jealous of the cool kids but as >>140610484 pointed out he did kind of have a point.

Imo Ufo UBW was a pretty good adaption - better than what 99% of VNs get for sure, although it did lose some of the depth of the original.

If you really wanna get into it you first watch Fate/Zero. If you liked that and you want more, watch the 2015 show Fate/stay night: Unlimited Blade Works.

If you feel like it you can watch Carnival Phantasm as well. It features a lot of characters and references a lot of stuff that's not covered in either of the two previously mentioned shows, but the humor is still fairly accessible and if there's anything you don't understand about it you can just consult the Type Moon wiki or simply lurk in the relevant threads. Carnival Phantasm also has a sort of sketch comedy format, so you can just skip to the parts with the characters you want to watch.

The setting isn't nearly as hard to get into and understand as some people would have you believe. I haven't read the original Fate/stay night visual novel, but I still make a habit out of lecturing its fans about it, telling them what they've misunderstood or clarifying the cosmology and such. It's very simple.

>Most unfaithful heroine
>hurr hurr old men

Wow Sakurafags are void of any intelligence.

Rin is by far the most faithful heroine. She's the only one to fight alongside Shirou in all three routes. In each route, she is involved in Shirou's future in some way. She even gives up her cruel mage ideals to help Shirou realize his noble ideals. Sakura just wants Shirou's clock, because she needs something to fill her cavernous vagina at all times.

The "old men for money" joke is from a fucking doujin. So is the "blacked" joke about Saber. However, Sakura's worms are 100% canon, and Sakurafags feel the need to compensate for their waifu's harlotry by using doujins to try to defame the other two heroines.
>>
>>140611617
It's your headcanon then. Zouken literally had no interest in the 5th war and wasn't about to stop Shinji from whatever game he was playing at. Zouken doesn't even keep all his familiars in the basement, so you can't kill him that way. If Zouken makes a reappearance at all outside of the HF route, it'd be to stop the Clock Tower's expedition to dismantle the greater grail later in the timeline. Shinji being a disrespectful little cunt is of no consequence.

You're so full of bullshit and you don't even realize it. The VN has multiple scenes that go far more in depth on how things work in that universe. It is impossible to understand without reading the VN. The anime simply does not cover as much content. This also means you haven't read HF, so you don't even know why the grail is corrupted in the first place. Read the fucking VN.

Apocrypha is set in an alternate universe some 10-20 years later down the timeline than when the events of Zero were supposed to take place. It's very possible that Kayneth's in-law was not at the top of the department at the time, if he even was in the department in Zero. And Kayneth only had a few days to procure a new catalyst and summon his Servant, whereas in Apocrypha the Red faction had two weeks to prepare. Furthermore, in Zero Kayneth was participating in the war as an individual. The masters of Red in Apocrypha were participating as representatives of the entire Mage's Association. With the compliance and support of the full organization it's not hard to see why they were able to procure such exceptional catalysts.

Bram is mentioned in Zero, just not by name. Sola having a brother who is the successor to the department is something that was said in Zero in the first place.

Also the way they worded in Apocrypha seemed that Bram was the one who looked for the catalysts and he did in a very short span of time. We also have to take into account that the El-Melloi family is wealthy enough to afford catalysts of such caliber, so settling for a catalyst of a rather average Servant like Diarmuid was a stupid move, even more knowing what his legend is.

It was also said in Apocrypha material that there are probably a good number of catalyst of top heroes like Achilles or Heracles, given that there were entire wars based on getting them.

Every time. It's canon that she sleeps around in HF True, and even UBW has her clearly showing affection for several characters at once. There's a reason the fujoshi audience likes to use her as a self-insert.

There you go again, trying to blame everything on Sakura. For what it's worth, though, she's the only one of the three heroines not to have children with someone other than Shirou.
>>
>>140628653
There you go again, being a retard. He clearly said "Sakurafags". He wasn't blaming anything on Sakura. Sakura is fine, not my favorite, but she's ok. Sakurafags are pure cancer.

And you can't make that claim about her not having kids with someone else. We know nothing of Sakura's future in the Fate or Unlimited Blade Works routes. It's very likely she had kids in those futures.

>he wasn't blaming anything on Sakura

Pretty sure "he" did, and for the sole reason that somebody pointed out Rin's unfaithfulness. Nothing wrong with Sakurafags, by the way. All they do is call out retards who meme about worms and make up objective bullshit about her.

>It's very likely she had kids in those futures.
HF Normal says no.

not that guy, but just wanna point out that the fact we know nothing of a given thing means we cannot make positive statements about that thing.

UBW Shirou and HF True End are the closest ones to "saving Shirou"
>>
>>140629841
But we can make assumptions based on norms. Most people who don't browse 4chan get married and have kids eventually. It's pretty likely that Sakura eventually has kids. No, we can't say for sure, but it's likely, based on what usually happens.
>>
>>140632511
HF True End Epilogue is kind of like Kohaku end, in that I don't really buy it as a "happy end" - it feels like a big tonal shift from what came before and it and didn't feel satisfying at all.
UBW Shirou probably turned out okay though
After all, he had Rin.

Your post about "blaming Sakura" was not in response to that post though. You seem to be under the impression that you're replying to one person. You're replying to multiple.

Also, HF Normal isn't the same as UBW ends or Fate end. What the fuck. Sakura goes through a very different sequence of events in HF. She actually forms a relationship with Shirou, and that's why she waits for him to come back in HF Normal. In UBW and Fate, Shirou doesn't give a shit about her. She likely moves on to someone else, instead of pining over an reciprocated crush.
>>
>>140632689

the only thing True End did wrong is that, we saw it from Rin's POV instead of Shirou's.
We didn't hear his thoughts about Illya's death or how he's helping Sakura shouldering her sins, like he'd said he would.
>>
>>140610474
>His semen also turned into Sakura.

>>
>>140632990
Maybe that would have fixed it but I'm not convinced.
Illya's sacrifice scene was fantastic, but everything after that was very disappointing and left a bad taste in my mouth. I try and ignore the existence of that epilogue, tbqh.
Maybe it's because while I like Heaven's Feel and don't dislike Sakura as a character, I just can't see Shirou and Sakura as a happy, healthy couple and don't like them as a pairing at all.

I'm not usually a tragedyfag, but I kinda feel HF should end with Shirou dying. A "good" ending for it might be Sakura slowly recovering and finding out that the best way to honour his sacrifice and all he did for her is living and enjoying her life.
>>
>>140632847

Is Sakura a virgin?
>>
>>140633704
>it lacks Kotomine (just why ??? )
There's a path to the Normal End that includes the Kotomine fight. Unlocks after you've done True End, and gives you an extra choice after the epic abortion debate fight.
I'll cede the Illya thing though.
Normal End would have been a great True End if Illya got some resolution in it. It'd be great to see Illya arrive too late to save Shirou - like a reverse True ending.

They aren't meant to be a happy couple and Sakura is incapable of moving on.
UBW True is a bad ending as well.

It really reminds me of Tsukihime, every ending is hopeful but every ending has Shiki dying before his thirties. The only happy endings are ones that are momentary there is no grand finally that results in everyone making it work out that isn't "End of the dream."

I feel like people have trouble understanding the dynamics in HF. Or maybe it's just that Sakura's VA is bad, that seems to be the deciding factor for liking the relationship in HF as much as anything.

It isn't meant to be a romance like Fate and UBW were. Nasu says he treats love and romance as completely separate can of worms.
The romance happened before the beginning of the story and we get some flashbacks but HF is starting from the point of "these two are already married" and doesn't really build on that.

If you played the VN without spoilers Sakura has already ticked the right childhood friend checkboxes for that to be unnecessary.

Aside from that HF dwells on characters flaws. Shirou is inherently self-destructive and Sakura admires and has picked up on that self-destructive attitude. They're bad for each other as much as they're good for each other and dealing with that is what the story is about.

This. Sakura is the kind of girl one generally roots for despite them often getting screwed over and not getting much time in the spotlight (similar to Sacchin). As you see that she and Shirou are falling in love with eachother, you're elated, but the mysteries surrounding and pointing towards her make you feel uneasy, and the route challenges your view of her as it goes on by presenting negative facets of her from biased perspectives, only to get catharsis in the end as the clues add up and you realize she wasn't actually a bad person at all after all. If you get spoiled on cherrypicked negative details early on, you'll go into the route with the assumption that they must be true, and end up questioning why she got such a happy ending.
