@@dragonknight4982 no...I meant that in my calculations of the number of attempts he took in recalling his name, I included the white boxes referring to Kirei
My favorite part about this fight is the fact that Shirou likes Kotomine Kirei. Unlike Kiritsugu who couldn't understand Kirei at all, Shirou is also empty like Kirei.
In this route Shirou finally accepts the distortion in his heart.The fact he was empty and tried to fill his empty soul with borrowed ideals and dreams. In the other two routes he decides that's fine,even with Archer being living testament that his way of leads nowhere good. The difference between Shirou/Kirei and Kiritsugu is that Kiritsugu had some humanity in him regardless of what he claimed. That's why he strives so hard to get the Grail and create his ideal world. He's not empty,he's just slightly broken and cynical but still has the childish desire of a world of peace deep inside. Kirei thus ends dissapointed when he realizes this. But in F/SN he ironically found what he was looking in the son of Kiritsugu.
LeonGun8 How is world peace childish, that's a desire every good human should have, it might be nigh impossible, but at least we can make it better. Saying it's childish is being edgy and actual childish on top of being nonsensically inhuman.
Yuwan The Childish one is the Superhero dream technically. The World Peace is more naive thing, not childish, something *nearly* everyone wants in the bottom of their hearts but know that it is impossible.
The cool part about this is; Shirou is actually better off like that. As Archer and UBW proved; his ideals and distorted way of life would only lead him down a path of ruin (which arguably wouldn't be as bad if Rin helped out and stayed by his side) and eventually whether he regretted it or not his life would be horrible. Meanwhile in HF he had to give up his ideals (which was excruciatingly hard for him to do), but in the long term he was better off like that, since rather than being burdened with an impossible dream for the rest of his life he was "freed" from Kiritsugu's impossible ideals and instead got to live a happy life with the girl he loved, her sister and Rider. Fate and UBW Shirou were too damaged to pursue their own happiness and accepted the misery and suffering that their choices would bring them. Meanwhile HF Shirou was forced to abandon that path and as a result he was more or less "forced into having a happy life". It's almost like how a parent forces a child into a choice that's best for them. HF might've been darker than the 2 routes that came before it, but in exchange it was also the one route in which Shirou could and would be "saved".
That moment when you realize that the final battle of a magical battle royale story between mythical and historical heroes involves a straight up, manly fist fight between two "normal" humans.
"As my body is destroyed, swords are created trying to keep it alive." I'll be SO missing Shirou's inner thoughts during the final movie x.x They are what make the Visual Novel so great.
@@giavanteevans4723 Sadly, those of us living in the UK were denied the chance of watching this one on the big screen. I can only imagine how the experience must've been.
"You said an older brother protects his little sister, right? I'm the older sister. So I have to protect my little brother." That scene will be godly in the anime movie.
Damn, it felt like I lost my own sister. It was more tragic than Anakin's death in the return of the jedi when he said you've already saved me Luke. 😥😭
Simon Bourdin Zouken provided the "egg" and Shirou provided the sperm aka magical energy to feed the egg and keep it going. Two fathers, one mother. Ew
What i loved about this fight is that Shirou starts punching Kirei the moment he realizes something. He isn't empty anymore, what made him similar to Kirei isn't there, Shirou has something that is worth fighting for, love, wanting to protect someone you love, something more tangible than being a hero of justice.
I love the irony of him fighting to stop Angra Mainyu from being born only after he cast his ideals of heroism aside. He only gets to be the big damn hero in the route he decides to simply be a hero to the people he cares for.
@@Ilias2 that's why Oath Under Snow isn't a complete rehash as that version of Shirou has given up on the world completely going as far as wishing the person he's saving to another dimension while HF Shirou is still fighitng for a world in which he can be with Sakura.
I mean they tried to convey it visually through Shirou’s expressions, which is what they should do when adapting things to a visual medium. They could have done more and I probably wouldn’t have complained if they had left the line in, but they tried to communicate it in other ways which is the point of an adaptation.
@@LongSinceDead1 you can tell on his face he’s thinking it, but they should have had him say it, it’s not like they’ve never had shirou think to himself in the films he just doesn’t do it very often
I was hoping for "I want to know if it is a crime to live as you are when you are different than others." but oh well. Though it wasn't perfect, I do admit to liking what we got.
Kirie himself isn't really that evil a character, he is just following a different interpretation of morality from Shirou, which is why Shirou himself says he doesn't hate Kirie and actually rather likes him, he just can never agree with him.
Well to be fair Kirei did state he was about to drop dead, and it would essentially come down to who would be alive the longest lol. But still love that delicious irony.
+jamal munir Well yeah, even if things went convinently for Shirou it was very well explained why Kotomine died before Shirou. Also i like the Normal Ending more than the True ending.
***** eeehhhmmm If Shirou would have tried to do a projection Kirei would have killed him. Even Shirou states that. For this Shirou making a projection takes some time and in that time Kirei could have landed a fatal blow to him.
***** i know when i meant a fatal blow i meant a blow directly to his head, as Shirou said his head had not turned into swords yet so he had to protect it, starting a projection meant to leave his head un-guarded meaning that kirei could crush it easily, even in that state Kirei fought really well with his chinese martial arts. All of Kirei blows were fatal they did not kill Shirou because of his body and because he was guarding his head. So you need to be the one reading the fight again, not me n.n
***** Bro i am talking to you in story facts. Kirei is a fucking expert in close combat. Kirei closed to Shirou at a great speed as Shirou said "he charged at me at a great speed, i dont have that strengh in my legs so i launched a punch which he easily evaded" with that you can say that Kotomine is being really fast for Shirou to counter attack. Yes Shirou projected in the battle with Heracles but that was the 1st projection. Of course he only had 1 projection left but SHIROU said "i cant do a projection, i need time to concentrate and he will crush my head in that time so i cant do projections" SHIROU acknowledged that he cant do a projection against him even if he had spare projections because Kirei will not let him at all. Of course if Shirou does a projection he can kill Kotomine if HIM gives Shirou a chance. Kirei is a fucking executor a FUCKING MAGUS KILLER. Kirei is many times stronger than Shirou even in the verge of dying.Shirou was capable to fight with Kirei because of the condition his body was in otherwise Kirei would have killed him with the 2 attacks landed on Shirou at the start of the battle.
@@LongSinceDead1 I already thought Kotomine was an enjoyable character since the end of Fate, but I just saw him as a common antagonist and nothing else. I didn't think much of him, Heaven's Feel just changed everything I thought I knew about him, when Kirei spoke to Shirou at times I would think "Wait... is it just me or are these two acting like friends!?". Then Day 15 came and he had so many great moments. But this fight had to be the final nail in the coffin, I never expected Fate/Stay Night would leave a mark on me after finishing it but I can assure Kotomine is 60% responsible for that. I literally have Kotomine Kirei brain rot ever since I read this fight.
Can't believe it took me watching this multiple times to realise that shirou isn't worried that kirei will crush his head, he's afraid that ANY damage to his head will trigger the swords to try and reinforce the injury, resulting in his head turning into swords and dying in the way he's actually scared of.
Trust me when I say this i cried so much seeing Illya give up her life for Shirou it was so sweet and sad it showed that she had no regrets of saving her family so no you are not the only one.
I mean he does get killed pretty hard in Fate and UBW. But I get the idea. He stays alive even after giving Zouken/Assasin/Sakura and almost kills Shirou
Meanwhile his neighbour Ren Fuji becomes an outerversal God, battles literal Mephistopheles and then resets the timeline to give up his God hood. High schools man, crazy times.
Its such a shame so many people wont read the VN and miss out on epic moments like these because "mUh iM nOt G0nNa rEaD 100 hOuRs Of hEnTaI" even though the H Scenes are explained albeit not well written and are less then a fraction of the game give or take.
@@doggerlander I just played the Fate HA VN, and it's really good. Also the movies and anime can't fit all the content from the VNs in them(VNs are like 60 hrs, and the movies are only 2 hours... A lot of content gone).
The biggest problems in the anime adaptation of Heavens Feel were in fact, the immense numbers of cut monologues that were essential for the development of the story and Shirou character, poor Illya basically excluded from the story and important facts omitted, all in favor of unnecessarily long battles and an exaggerated focus on Sakura and her Fanservice, but that's okay because I was looking forward to this masterpiece scene and I felt in my heart that they were not going to be able to ruin it ... I just say one thing: disappointment, they ruined everything that this scene develops; Shirou realizing how his ideals are distorted and equal to Kirei and admitting that he liked him, how Shirou and Kirei are exactly the same, but still opposites, the orgasmic Shirou scream and etc ... at least Illya's sacrifice was beautiful like in the VN, even so it is not enough to forgive how much she was excluded from the other films, after all this was to be the route of Sakura and ILLYA, the movie is so fucking shallow (And before someone comes up with the same fallacy as always: "Ah but you are an elitist/hardcore", "ah but it is impossible to adapt 100% of a VN in an anime" Yes it is impossible and I never expected it, but I expected at least one decent adaptation that would cover the essentials and not simply remove important characters like Illya and monologues to make 40 minute long edgy fights, also R.I.P Mighty Wind and Hikari to yami)
it really should've have been a series. Like i don't get why they made UBW a serie and HF a movie when they should've swapped since UBW is pretty straight forward plot wise.
It basically pandered the two biggest misconceptions about the Heaven’s Feel route: that it’s the “Sakura route” & that the only thing that makes it different from the other routes is that it’s “dark” Really sucks that they removed all the stuff that truly made Heaven’s Feel what it is. All we can do is blame whoever the hell suggested that the route be adapted into a trilogy of movies rather than a 50-episode anime.
Ufotable's priorities were all skewed... It is true this is Sakura's route but even on Sakura's part she was damaged, most of the tension of the route was cut down to cater to the movie length, Illya's sacrifice feels empty because 80% of her scenes were removed, Kotomine's character and screentime are significantly cut down, which in turn hinders Shirou's development because a major part of his characterization is his struggle with Kotomine, Saber Alter vs Rider lasts almost 10 minutes yet Kirei vs Shirou, the GOD DAMN final fight, is not even 3 minutes long. Honestly I don't like to be too harsh on anime adaptations because I know it's not easy and I actually think HF I was perfect, and I would have forgiven everything had they not fucked this scene up. I think the worst thing about all of this is that we can't even hope for a re-adaptation into a series because the chances are lower than even a Fate Route anime.
the thing is kirei is actually correct regarding angra mainyu, he is only cursed by the people, but was not actually evil. Since he indirectly saved people he became a heroic spirit, and throughout his slumper he only know of anger. that is, until f/ha came out
It was once mentioned that kotomine’s and Rin’s fighting style for Chinese martial arts, is based on Li shu wen’s ba Qi quan, Ba ki Ken. Li shu wen is summoned as a servant too in the fate series.
19:57 And… the movie adaptation literally has a scene where Kotomine and Shirou punch each other in the face. I know they’re limited on how detailed the adaption can be - but goddamn. Not only does it make the fight inconsistent - but it literally goes against what Shirou was attending to do
BASED. Ufo could've made this scene so much better yet didn't. There's a reason why people find films like Rocky's last fight so touching. It's not just about Shirou throwing a good punch to Kirei's handsome face. Instead it should had been about what motivates Shirou, what he stands for, why he won't give in despite both extreme physical and mental wear-out during the fight. I mean sure we acknowledge Shirou's motive, but I hoped Ufo to SHOW US NOT TELL US, especially in this scene.
It's a shame, I really enjoyed the first 2 movies despite having read the VN, but the third one felt rushed and its lack of "quiet" moments (including mid-fight) made its big moments feel less impactful. Guess it was doomed from the start with only 6 hours to work with.
I watched the 3 movies and really enjoyed them, but the moment I discovered that Ufotable skipped crucial stuff about the visual novel like this I just went: "Damn, that's a shame, still 10/10 tho". I think that if every movie had just like 10 minutes more of content to dump this greasy visual novel moments it would be enough I guess
Yeah people don't realise how significant that is. He almost forgot Sakura and Illya yet immediately remembered kirei. You can tell how important kirei is to shirou.
Blair K I suppose you just have different tastes. I appreciated how each route set out to do something different and actually did that. The romance in Fate felt very good and rewarding, UBW had good action and HF turned the plot on it's head by adding Sakura and Zouken to the war. They were all good for me, in their own ways. In any case, the point still remains, I don't see how the other two routes were "childish" (as some people call them) because they were not as edgy as HF
As a Zero secondary who just finished reading Heaven's Feel because I couldn't wait for the next two movies I humbly recant all disparaging statements towards FSN.
I've read and watch so many fight in books, novels, manga, movies, and I can certainly say this is one of the top 5. the emotional weight, writing and action scene is done with such perfection
I think all the VN Readers need to understand something. I’m a VN Reader, and I understood this perfectly when I watched it: Adaptations will always lose something. For Visual and Light Novels, this is especially prevalent. The Index Light Novels are the best part of ToAru, while the anime is all mostly mediocre with some good arcs and moments at best. We Fate fans have it different: our anime adaptations look way more beautiful than most other adaptations thanks to Ufotable’s work, and Spring Song’s (and Heaven’s Feel in general’s) extensive work over the many years just bleeds with how much passion each and every person put into making it good. It *looks* and *feels* amazing, because everyone cared. I can’t say the same for 90% of all LN and VN adaptations. We’re lucky. This movie isn’t perfect, but your expectations for believing a movie would be as good as a book made you disappointed. That’s rarely ever true, but you need to acknowledge that they did an amazing job nonetheless. I remember sitting in the theater with my girlfriend, who wasn’t a VN reader, and she was shocked, surprised, and cried at moments that I did when I read the VN, while I was enamored with the beautiful art and animation and voice acting and music. So clearly, people that haven’t read the VN consider this a great movie. At some point you need to drop the elitism and acknowledge that this movie did far and away better than most other, weak anime adaptations.
Its more so annoyance for some how they got their priorities mixed up. Spending more resources on the Saber Alter fight instead of the actual climax is a bit of a slap in the face. That said, I'll never agree that these adaptations were subpar or mediocre like some VN readers
@@atpr3241 To be fair, the Saber Alter/Rider fight was the spectacle, as it was a battle between Servants, which would be fast and flashy. Same could be said with Rin and Sakura, since that was the 2nd and 3rd Magics colliding. Kirei VS Shirou could have been lengthened, but there wasn’t much you could do for animation, since it was two dudes punching each other. That said, they still managed to show the intensity of each blow.
@@ssjayson4947 yet in the VN it wasn't. Those fights were anything but "flashy" in the VN. Servant fights were always presented with weight and brutality in the VN, not "style". Why we had to get the hack miura rather then the zero director I don't know. Atleast most of the non fight scenes were done well in the HF trilogy.
@TovarishPingu but he did though. Missing out Gil backstory and fucking up Lancelot Vs saber round 2 are the biggest crimes and those aren't deal-breaking.
I love the irony of Shirou fighting to stop Angra Mainyu, all the world's evils from being born only after he cast his ideals of heroism aside. He only gets to be the big damn hero in the route he decides to simply be a hero for the people he cares for.
That was my fucking favorite route of the whole Visual Novel, made me cry like a bitch many times, specially the ending. I hope Ufo makes a good adaptation, to do it justice.
+Luca Braña Pffff, i hope we are lucky. Ufotable did good with F/Z. But UBW was awful. Heaven's Feel is closer to F/Z as it's darker so maybe they get the same staff and do it good.
XDragonDeOzX I did not feel like you said that either :D I meant that while HF is certainly closer to F/Z than UBW it isn't so much because it's dark and rather because it has a slower pace. I still don't think they have a good chance since it's somewhat difficult to switch mediums for a work that uses the strong point of a medium like F/SN (read as: Nasu rights way too much exposition)
Avena Niran I was thinking the same, I would have rathered a series instead despite the amount of money needed, they probably should just do like 5 OVAS.
this was one of the best confrontations I have experienced from any kind of story related media. this visual novel, and fairy tale for two are what got me hooked on Japanese visual novels. those things are insanely good reading material, and than you get these very unique stories to go along with it. sadly I think people are wrongly put off by visual novels because of the sex contained in most, but to me these helped add a more human depth to the stories. things moved beyond puritan story telling and hit the more raw side of reality.
I saw signs of it in HF2, but I'm truly sad Ufotable went for spectacle over raw emotion and feeling in the later half of the HF trilogy. Imagine actually thinking this fight is complete without Hikari to Yami.
@@BillPlunderbonesTew8 That's really just a testament to how cathartic and thematically climactic the confrontation is despite it being shafted by the director in favor of the preceding fight.
@@BillPlunderbonesTew8 Bro most anime only are gonna gas the Saber Alter fight over this. The issue is its just too short and its the most complex fight in FSN to be fit in just 6-7 min
@@atpr3241 True, but they should have given more priority to this scene, the fact that Saber Alter vs Rider lasts like 6x more than Shirou vs Kirei does is fucked up. They clearly aimed at the feels people had for Saber that they were carrying from Zero instead of building up the feels for this fight, it was style over substance. I actually think they could have done it right in 3 movies, HF I was alright, HF II was troubling but we still were going in a good direction, simplifying this scene is unforgivable
@@letthebasscannon223 the number one thing i hate about the movie fight is how many times did shirou get hit in the face and not have it turn into swords
@@lordtouchme5417 yeah i know just pointing out the one main thing in the fight they fuck up on and shirou was keeping up with kirei in a fist fight he only got 7 hits on kirei in the visual novel if i remember correct
It's 'cause Kotomine, the true hero, is awesome. Beating up a body that rips his arms to shreds like that all the while the ironman is trying to hit him back. Heaven's Feel is called Kotomine Route for a reason.
***** It's because Shiro is a piece of shit and one of the worst protagonists I've seen in my life. This scene shows him getting rekt like he should be, instead of somehow magically winning like against Gilgamesh or Archer
Him winning against Gilgamesh and Archer have reasons. He didn't really "win" the fight against Archer. The scene in both the anime and the VN outright state that he could've handed Shirou his ass from the very beginning, even during the final stab against him he could easily have blocked and countered. He decided not to because the fight that counted, mentally breaking Shirou and forcing him to give up his ideals and then killing him to form a paradox, is evidently not happening because he still sees the beauty of his ideals, and he just decided to let him win and support him so he wouldn't go through the same path he did. Gilgamesh won because he was an idiot and in-character. He could've won the entire Grail War if he wasn't such a tool, but he is. He didn't use his full power against Shirou (Didn't even try to use Ea until it was too late), UBW perfectly counters Gate of Babylon, and up close Shirou can trace the skills of the swords he wields so he completely outclasses Gil in close combat.
ES21007 More than that, Archer came to realize he still holds those ideals. The mental fight ended in Archer "reclaiming" his ideals no matter how broken they were and how many times they betrayed him (something he comments on when he tells Rin he found his answer). In short, Archer came to accept Shirou and thus had to leave that world.
His life was tied to fifth holy grail war. No matter how the 5th Holy Grail War had ended, Kirei had died. His heart would have stopped beating the minute the 5th ended. It's better explained in Hollow Ataraxia.
me and my friend were reading this and predicted a lot of the events (this isn’t a bad thing honestly we enjoyed the guessing) that were going to happen such as shinji causing sakura to lose it and rule breaker being used on sakura. but neither of us even considered Kotomine being the final fight. (Mainly because of how he was dispatched in UBW) What a finale to the vn jesus christ
Im hyped for spring song. 9 lives blade work, rider vs saber alter (wouldnt mind if its shirou vs saber alter since that fight is dope) rin vs sakura and shirou vs kirei its gonna be amazing
STANDING HERE I REALIZE YOU ARE JUST LIKE ME TRYING TO MAKE HISTORY BUT WHO'S TO JUDGE THE RIGHT FROM WRONG WHEN OUR GUARD IS DOWN I THINK WE'LL BOTH AGREE
tbh i expected more from ufo's version. i get it, monologue is hard to adapt but damn not even the sakura fragments? what's the point of it being cool looking if there's no emotion..
I love the visceral feel of the movie fight but it really was too short for my main complaint. Movie should've been the length of the VE movie(that one was 2hr 22min)
@@r.k845 That would hurt their box office revenue. I imagine if Shirou vs Kirei was 10 minutes and NLBW were a few min longer, 90% of the complaints would disappear.
I really love this fight Shirou Emiya Vs Kirei Kotomine is way beyond epic just well done Ufotable make Heaven's Feel truly a masterpiece that a god would fear it of the epicness and make Sakura Matou a really well done character so people will love her more :3
This is exactly what I'm worried about too. Half the awesomeness of HF is in the form of inner monologues, this, nine lives blades, spark liner high etc, and I don't really see a way to adapt that faithfully in an anime movie.
Okay this is my take on it if i am wrong i am sorry I do not wish to pick a fight against a fellow fate fan it's just my thoughts and option can't respect it i don't know what to say you i do rightly respect yours. it is understandable why you are worried about Heaven's Feel and how it will trun out i can see why a lot of people I'm a little worried for some reasons of my own however I'm not worried like how most people are i still stand by of what i said they will find a way to work around this. yes i do know the inner monogues are very important to the plot for Shirou and some other characters Ufotable are not that stupid to miss up on that kind of thing if they try something new give it a shoot if they made Heaven's Feel just like how it was in the VN it will be just a copy of it to me it wouln't be that fun i can tell they will add a lot of new stuff to where it makes HF a lot better for me I really do love HF it's my fav route of all time the most amazing epic and darkest route the love between Shirou and Sakura is beautiful and something i will never get tried of seeing. overall the more you worry the more it might actually happen but i'm pretty sure you already know that.

What i loved about this fight is that Shirou starts punching Kirei the moment he realizes something.
He isn't empty anymore, what made him similar to Kirei isn't there, Shirou has something that is worth fighting for, love, wanting to protect someone you love, something more tangible than being a hero of justice.
Exactly, that's why Shirou changes his mind on Kirei pretty quickly after he reflects on their similarities.
I love the irony of him fighting to stop Angra Mainyu from being born only after he cast his ideals of heroism aside. He only gets to be the big damn hero in the route he decides to simply be a hero to the people he cares for.
very well put
@@Ilias2 that's why Oath Under Snow isn't a complete rehash as that version of Shirou has given up on the world completely going as far as wishing the person he's saving to another dimension while HF Shirou is still fighitng for a world in which he can be with Sakura.
As one great Kirei analysis once said, Shirou underwent character development. He wanted to LIVE.
"I keep doing it in spite of the pain, because people can't live without oxygen" Well at least he knows that people die if they are killed.
He didn't die when he was killed though

Not more than Die Lorelai but pretty high up there
I mean they tried to convey it visually through Shirou’s expressions, which is what they should do when adapting things to a visual medium. They could have done more and I probably wouldn’t have complained if they had left the line in, but they tried to communicate it in other ways which is the point of an adaptation.
@@LongSinceDead1 you can tell on his face he’s thinking it, but they should have had him say it, it’s not like they’ve never had shirou think to himself in the films he just doesn’t do it very often

The problem is, Kirei is half right.
Angra Maniya is not evil, just incapable of feeling anything but hate (and for good reason).
TheHappy_P0tat0
To quote another comment, Kirei is apparently evil because he's anti-abortion.
ES21007 But Angra Mainyu's main purpose is still to destroy the world, so if he is born, that is the most likely outcome
Vapor Indeed but he's still not technically evil.
TheHappy_P0tat0 Well, that part is true
Kirie himself isn't really that evil a character, he is just following a different interpretation of morality from Shirou, which is why Shirou himself says he doesn't hate Kirie and actually rather likes him, he just can never agree with him.
I remember when I did it, all the things I felt. That fight was just powerful. Kirei and Shirou's determination were so beautiful.
"Things won't go conveniently right for me!"
Things end up going conveniently right for him.
Oh, Shirou.
Well to be fair Kirei did state he was about to drop dead, and it would essentially come down to who would be alive the longest lol. But still love that delicious irony.
+jamal munir Well yeah, even if things went convinently for Shirou it was very well explained why Kotomine died before Shirou. Also i like the Normal Ending more than the True ending.
***** eeehhhmmm If Shirou would have tried to do a projection Kirei would have killed him. Even Shirou states that. For this Shirou making a projection takes some time and in that time Kirei could have landed a fatal blow to him.
*****
i know when i meant a fatal blow i meant a blow directly to his head, as Shirou said his head had not turned into swords yet so he had to protect it, starting a projection meant to leave his head un-guarded meaning that kirei could crush it easily, even in that state Kirei fought really well with his chinese martial arts. All of Kirei blows were fatal they did not kill Shirou because of his body and because he was guarding his head. So you need to be the one reading the fight again, not me n.n
*****
Bro i am talking to you in story facts. Kirei is a fucking expert in close combat. Kirei closed to Shirou at a great speed as Shirou said "he charged at me at a great speed, i dont have that strengh in my legs so i launched a punch which he easily evaded" with that you can say that Kotomine is being really fast for Shirou to counter attack. Yes Shirou projected in the battle with Heracles but that was the 1st projection. Of course he only had 1 projection left but SHIROU said "i cant do a projection, i need time to concentrate and he will crush my head in that time so i cant do projections" SHIROU acknowledged that he cant do a projection against him even if he had spare projections because Kirei will not let him at all. Of course if Shirou does a projection he can kill Kotomine if HIM gives Shirou a chance. Kirei is a fucking executor a FUCKING MAGUS KILLER. Kirei is many times stronger than Shirou even in the verge of dying.Shirou was capable to fight with Kirei because of the condition his body was in otherwise Kirei would have killed him with the 2 attacks landed on Shirou at the start of the battle.

@@LongSinceDead1 I already thought Kotomine was an enjoyable character since the end of Fate, but I just saw him as a common antagonist and nothing else. I didn't think much of him, Heaven's Feel just changed everything I thought I knew about him, when Kirei spoke to Shirou at times I would think "Wait... is it just me or are these two acting like friends!?". Then Day 15 came and he had so many great moments. But this fight had to be the final nail in the coffin, I never expected Fate/Stay Night would leave a mark on me after finishing it but I can assure Kotomine is 60% responsible for that. I literally have Kotomine Kirei brain rot ever since I read this fight.
Can't believe it took me watching this multiple times to realise that shirou isn't worried that kirei will crush his head, he's afraid that ANY damage to his head will trigger the swords to try and reinforce the injury, resulting in his head turning into swords and dying in the way he's actually scared of.

@@d0d0b1rd bro just watch it on TH-cam. Look up Heaven’s Feel full route.
The biggest problems in the anime adaptation of Heavens Feel were in fact, the immense numbers of cut monologues that were essential for the development of the story and Shirou character, poor Illya basically excluded from the story and important facts omitted, all in favor of unnecessarily long battles and an exaggerated focus on Sakura and her Fanservice, but that's okay because I was looking forward to this masterpiece scene and I felt in my heart that they were not going to be able to ruin it ... I just say one thing: disappointment, they ruined everything that this scene develops; Shirou realizing how his ideals are distorted and equal to Kirei and admitting that he liked him, how Shirou and Kirei are exactly the same, but still opposites, the orgasmic Shirou scream and etc ... at least Illya's sacrifice was beautiful like in the VN, even so it is not enough to forgive how much she was excluded from the other films, after all this was to be the route of Sakura and ILLYA, the movie is so fucking shallow
(And before someone comes up with the same fallacy as always: "Ah but you are an elitist/hardcore", "ah but it is impossible to adapt 100% of a VN in an anime" Yes it is impossible and I never expected it, but I expected at least one decent adaptation that would cover the essentials and not simply remove important characters like Illya and monologues to make 40 minute long edgy fights, also R.I.P Mighty Wind and Hikari to yami)
it really should've have been a series. Like i don't get why they made UBW a serie and HF a movie when they should've swapped since UBW is pretty straight forward plot wise.
Yeah, they could have added a few minutes. But this trilogy is still amazing.
It's fun watching hardcore TM fans get wound up about it.
It basically pandered the two biggest misconceptions about the Heaven’s Feel route: that it’s the “Sakura route” & that the only thing that makes it different from the other routes is that it’s “dark”
Really sucks that they removed all the stuff that truly made Heaven’s Feel what it is. All we can do is blame whoever the hell suggested that the route be adapted into a trilogy of movies rather than a 50-episode anime.
Ufotable's priorities were all skewed... It is true this is Sakura's route but even on Sakura's part she was damaged, most of the tension of the route was cut down to cater to the movie length, Illya's sacrifice feels empty because 80% of her scenes were removed, Kotomine's character and screentime are significantly cut down, which in turn hinders Shirou's development because a major part of his characterization is his struggle with Kotomine, Saber Alter vs Rider lasts almost 10 minutes yet Kirei vs Shirou, the GOD DAMN final fight, is not even 3 minutes long.
Honestly I don't like to be too harsh on anime adaptations because I know it's not easy and I actually think HF I was perfect, and I would have forgiven everything had they not fucked this scene up. I think the worst thing about all of this is that we can't even hope for a re-adaptation into a series because the chances are lower than even a Fate Route anime.
@@grylos5887 if there's one scene that the movie did better other than the fights its adding a smile when Archer says Can you keep up with me?

And… the movie adaptation literally has a scene where Kotomine and Shirou punch each other in the face. I know they’re limited on how detailed the adaption can be - but goddamn. Not only does it make the fight inconsistent - but it literally goes against what Shirou was attending to do
BASED. Ufo could've made this scene so much better yet didn't. There's a reason why people find films like Rocky's last fight so touching.
It's not just about Shirou throwing a good punch to Kirei's handsome face. Instead it should had been about what motivates Shirou, what he stands for, why he won't give in despite both extreme physical and mental wear-out during the fight.
I mean sure we acknowledge Shirou's motive, but I hoped Ufo to SHOW US NOT TELL US, especially in this scene.
@@reftu7856 Ufo and their classic “don’t show, don’t tell”
This really makes the movie version look like a bad joke.
It's a shame, I really enjoyed the first 2 movies despite having read the VN, but the third one felt rushed and its lack of "quiet" moments (including mid-fight) made its big moments feel less impactful. Guess it was doomed from the start with only 6 hours to work with.
I watched the 3 movies and really enjoyed them, but the moment I discovered that Ufotable skipped crucial stuff about the visual novel like this I just went: "Damn, that's a shame, still 10/10 tho".

All of the routes are good
Blair K
I suppose you just have different tastes. I appreciated how each route set out to do something different and actually did that. The romance in Fate felt very good and rewarding, UBW had good action and HF turned the plot on it's head by adding Sakura and Zouken to the war. They were all good for me, in their own ways.
In any case, the point still remains, I don't see how the other two routes were "childish" (as some people call them) because they were not as edgy as HF
As a Zero secondary who just finished reading Heaven's Feel because I couldn't wait for the next two movies I humbly recant all disparaging statements towards FSN.

@@Astraldymensions Welcome to club, m8
I've read and watch so many fight in books, novels, manga, movies, and I can certainly say this is one of the top 5. the emotional weight, writing and action scene is done with such perfection
I think all the VN Readers need to understand something. I’m a VN Reader, and I understood this perfectly when I watched it:
Adaptations will always lose something. For Visual and Light Novels, this is especially prevalent. The Index Light Novels are the best part of ToAru, while the anime is all mostly mediocre with some good arcs and moments at best.
We Fate fans have it different: our anime adaptations look way more beautiful than most other adaptations thanks to Ufotable’s work, and Spring Song’s (and Heaven’s Feel in general’s) extensive work over the many years just bleeds with how much passion each and every person put into making it good. It *looks* and *feels* amazing, because everyone cared.
I can’t say the same for 90% of all LN and VN adaptations. We’re lucky. This movie isn’t perfect, but your expectations for believing a movie would be as good as a book made you disappointed. That’s rarely ever true, but you need to acknowledge that they did an amazing job nonetheless.
I remember sitting in the theater with my girlfriend, who wasn’t a VN reader, and she was shocked, surprised, and cried at moments that I did when I read the VN, while I was enamored with the beautiful art and animation and voice acting and music. So clearly, people that haven’t read the VN consider this a great movie.
At some point you need to drop the elitism and acknowledge that this movie did far and away better than most other, weak anime adaptations.
Nooooooo you must CONSOOM
Its more so annoyance for some how they got their priorities mixed up. Spending more resources on the Saber Alter fight instead of the actual climax is a bit of a slap in the face. That said, I'll never agree that these adaptations were subpar or mediocre like some VN readers
@@atpr3241 To be fair, the Saber Alter/Rider fight was the spectacle, as it was a battle between Servants, which would be fast and flashy. Same could be said with Rin and Sakura, since that was the 2nd and 3rd Magics colliding.
Kirei VS Shirou could have been lengthened, but there wasn’t much you could do for animation, since it was two dudes punching each other. That said, they still managed to show the intensity of each blow.
@@ssjayson4947 yet in the VN it wasn't. Those fights were anything but "flashy" in the VN. Servant fights were always presented with weight and brutality in the VN, not "style".

I meant that while HF is certainly closer to F/Z than UBW it isn't so much because it's dark and rather because it has a slower pace.

It's 'cause Kotomine, the true hero, is awesome. Beating up a body that rips his arms to shreds like that all the while the ironman is trying to hit him back. Heaven's Feel is called Kotomine Route for a reason.
*****
It's because Shiro is a piece of shit and one of the worst protagonists I've seen in my life. This scene shows him getting rekt like he should be, instead of somehow magically winning like against Gilgamesh or Archer
Him winning against Gilgamesh and Archer have reasons.
He didn't really "win" the fight against Archer. The scene in both the anime and the VN outright state that he could've handed Shirou his ass from the very beginning, even during the final stab against him he could easily have blocked and countered. He decided not to because the fight that counted, mentally breaking Shirou and forcing him to give up his ideals and then killing him to form a paradox, is evidently not happening because he still sees the beauty of his ideals, and he just decided to let him win and support him so he wouldn't go through the same path he did.
Gilgamesh won because he was an idiot and in-character. He could've won the entire Grail War if he wasn't such a tool, but he is. He didn't use his full power against Shirou (Didn't even try to use Ea until it was too late), UBW perfectly counters Gate of Babylon, and up close Shirou can trace the skills of the swords he wields so he completely outclasses Gil in close combat.
ES21007 More than that, Archer came to realize he still holds those ideals. The mental fight ended in Archer "reclaiming" his ideals no matter how broken they were and how many times they betrayed him (something he comments on when he tells Rin he found his answer). In short, Archer came to accept Shirou and thus had to leave that world.

His life was tied to fifth holy grail war. No matter how the 5th Holy Grail War had ended, Kirei had died. His heart would have stopped beating the minute the 5th ended. It's better explained in Hollow Ataraxia.
I really like this scene in the battle between men.
I'm excited for this fight and 9 Lives fight as well in the upcoming ufotable project.
Thank you, Illya, for everything.
Doing bad things for good reasons vs doing good things for bad reasons.
Rider vs Saber Alter was a visual spectacle in the third movie , but the brtual fight between these guys was my favorite
So much better than the movie. I understand a movie cannot always perfectly adapt a novel but they didn't even try.
it's hard to adapt visual novel to be honest.
@Henick Lee yup.
@@jacksonmiltin4199 steins gate did fine.
@@r.k845 can't say the same to other visual novel.
@@jacksonmiltin4199 touche.
THIS ILLUSION piano is so good.
24:25 that moment when words fail you and the music is just fucking perfect.
When Emiya starts playing in this scene in the movie(s) I'm going to freak out
33:51 when someone asks you who you think are the best 9 characters in the fate series
Don't lie, you're in hype to see this moment in Heaven's feel 3 spring song. Ufotable please, adapt this scene as best you can!
On the movie, Shirou puts a good fight. In the novel, he gets his ass kicked...
Ufotable nerfed Kirei for the last fight :v
kirei is a freaking beast
me and my friend were reading this and predicted a lot of the events (this isn’t a bad thing honestly we enjoyed the guessing) that were going to happen such as shinji causing sakura to lose it and rule breaker being used on sakura.
but neither of us even considered Kotomine being the final fight. (Mainly because of how he was dispatched in UBW) What a finale to the vn jesus christ
The ability to correctly predict future plot points is a sign of good writing indeed.
@@r.k845 only if you still like the scenes because if you can predict everything because is cliche then is bad but thats not the case with fate
Still mad about ufotable's adaptation weeks after watching rn
still nothing is perfect 😞
@@blade9727 true, but it felt more like an afterthought in general
It had sloppy animation, but good art and atmosphere
@@Ajay-dy3xw whoa whoa whoa the problem isn't sloppy animation lol.
@@r.k845 The storyboard for it was weak though. It's kinda on the same level as UBW fights
Am I the only one who finds the score here to be REALLY disturbing and scary?
SolarDragon007 The first part, I agree, but EMIYA and Light & Darkness sound more "kickass", than "scary".
It's called All Evils of the World, so it's understandable you would feel that way.
In the end, what decided the fate of the world was just two half dead men having a fistfight
Considering how good Lost Butterfly was, Spring Song is going to be insane with these epic HF scenes.
Im hyped for spring song. 9 lives blade work, rider vs saber alter (wouldnt mind if its shirou vs saber alter since that fight is dope) rin vs sakura and shirou vs kirei its gonna be amazing
Lol the two movies has been extremely trash.
As expected you cannot adapt such a long vn into 2 hours
2 of movies were shit.
Only animation were near perfect.
@@starbeard6333
THANK YOU.
Just because the game had good contents doesn't mean the anime had them too.
Heaven feels is another FAILED VN adaptation.
@@wallstreetzoomer I believe it was a great adaptation not perfect but it's absolutely Great in my opinion you're free to disagree my friend

I REALIZE
YOU ARE JUST LIKE ME
TRYING TO MAKE HISTORY

@@chaospacemarine8330 YOU FOLLOWED YOUR WRATH
BUT MAYBE WE'RE BOTH THE SAAAAME
Way better in the VN
Still liked the movie but they cut or changed things too much
hoho, so you are approaching me !
I can’t get the shit beaten out of me without coming closer.
tbh i expected more from ufo's version. i get it, monologue is hard to adapt but damn not even the sakura fragments? what's the point of it being cool looking if there's no emotion..
I love the visceral feel of the movie fight but it really was too short for my main complaint. Movie should've been the length of the VE movie(that one was 2hr 22min)
@@atpr3241 the movie needed an extra hour honestly.
@@r.k845 That would hurt their box office revenue. I imagine if Shirou vs Kirei was 10 minutes and NLBW were a few min longer, 90% of the complaints would disappear.
@@atpr3241 I meant in an ideal situation.
The fight scene sucked. It felt more like a fanservice formality than the clash that decided it all.
When you play 150 hours of a digital picture book to see a priest argue with a teenager about abortion
The Fake Priest vs The Fake Hero.
the best fight ever
24:54
Trace on...
Trigger off...
Set Falcon punch Blade Works
I really love this fight Shirou Emiya Vs Kirei Kotomine is way beyond epic just well done Ufotable make Heaven's Feel truly a masterpiece that a god would fear it of the epicness and make Sakura Matou a really well done character so people will love her more :3
I just really don't know how they want to make the hf route make Sense without inner Monologue.
I'm pretty sure they will find a way.
This is exactly what I'm worried about too. Half the awesomeness of HF is in the form of inner monologues, this, nine lives blades, spark liner high etc, and I don't really see a way to adapt that faithfully in an anime movie.
Okay this is my take on it if i am wrong i am sorry I do not wish to pick a fight against a fellow fate fan it's just my thoughts and option can't respect it i don't know what to say you i do rightly respect yours. it is understandable why you are worried about Heaven's Feel and how it will trun out i can see why a lot of people I'm a little worried for some reasons of my own however I'm not worried like how most people are i still stand by of what i said they will find a way to work around this. yes i do know the inner monogues are very important to the plot for Shirou and some other characters Ufotable are not that stupid to miss up on that kind of thing if they try something new give it a shoot if they made Heaven's Feel just like how it was in the VN it will be just a copy of it to me it wouln't be that fun i can tell they will add a lot of new stuff to where it makes HF a lot better for me I really do love HF it's my fav route of all time the most amazing epic and darkest route the love between Shirou and Sakura is beautiful and something i will never get tried of seeing. overall the more you worry the more it might actually happen but i'm pretty sure you already know that.
Well with the second half of UBW they began to add in the inner monolgues, so hopefully they get it right for the HF movie.
