Fate/EXTRA Last Encore

I see that Shinji's other Noble Phantasm has been canonized.

why didn't Shinji killed Amari aka his girlfriend though, since all of the survivor are going to kill each other.

Because the suspension bridge effect could get him laid

[bassgs435]

She probably went to kill someone before Shinji could kill her, and succeeded.

[Toa of Gallifrey]

Is there any way for Shinji to get a girlfriend other than through a Command Spell?

Clearly he doesn't believe in bros before hoes.

[Mattias]

Wow comparing the first episode here to Apocrypha it really shows how much difference it makes having a good studio make the anime. Sure it was SHAFT as hell, but it wasn't bland.

I assume he tried and got wrecked, Just like any other time Shinji tries to do anything.

Maybe being an eight year old had to do with it. I'd imagine it's exciting for a kid his age to be fitting in with the big crowd and even scoring a digital girlfriend.

Hey, this sounds familiar.

SHAFT's visual style conveyed the sense of lurking dread and unreality in this episode perfectly. Too early to say how well it'll hold up in action scenes though, as the ones we got so far were very brief.

I mean, if you have to kill someone, do you choose to kill your girlfriend or that guy in class that is always alone and you try to be friendly to him but honestly it's just creepy how emotionless he is and once you even heard him mumbling about hate and vengeance and you're pretty sure he's going to snap and kill someone at any moment?

I always forget that this Shinji is a script kiddie since I question whose idea it was to upload wakame as a Moon Cell Avatar (unless the kid made the avatar himself).

[RoydGolden]

And yeah, this is miles better then Apocrypha (keep in mind, I say this as someone who genuinely liked Apocrypha). If it can keep up this level of quality, I think it has a good chance of being AOTS for me.

I mean he stills looks like Shinji in real life doesn't he?

[Toa of Gallifrey]

Winter 2018: the season where two Shaft shows are competing for AOTS

I think the only ones we see IRL are Rin and Rani, and the former has blonde hair. Still, I guess that'd make sense.

Ah, my bad, never seen that before. Is that from an artbook?

[Iceblade44]

Thanks for clarifying everything y'all. I didn't get the part about one kill = one pass, and I somehow misremembered the number of Master candidates as 150 instead of 256.

I'm not sure if that backstory is still true here. In the scene at the incinerator, Hakuno saw visions of his past life on earth, which wouldn't make sense if he was an NPC.

He was an NPC in OG Extra, and he still had visons from his past in it.

[Wandering Swordwoman]

Also, let me summarize the events of the episode to check if I understand everything properly. A bunch of people with Master aptitude are transported into the Moon Cell through some unknown process (I presume mind-uploading, but it's described so vaguely they could be physically held in capsules Matrix-style). The Moon Cell then reconstructs a virtual "paradise" from all their memories where they can live out an ordinary high-school life in an idyllic environment.

Their memories are also likely being tampered with to keep them from noticing any irregularities in the virtual world (like the chess-club dude dying). Once 150 potential Masters are gathered, the Moon Cell then culls all but a select few (I don't understand the point of this. Why bother reaching a quota if you're just going to slaughter most of them anyway?) and lets the survivors pass to the next "round", where the Holy Grail War will begin properly.

There also seems to be a time-loop involved, going by the fem!Hakuno we see fighting Buddha in the prologue and all the dead Hakuno copies we see near the end. So the cycle of ordinary school life, 150 students being gathered and the robots appearing and killing everyone has repeated god knows how many times, until Hakuno finally managed to awaken his memories and break out of the loop by surviving.

I really don't understand this part, as if the whole system is meant to assess Master candidates then what would be the point of resurrecting the ones who already failed and killing them again? Especially since, going by Kotomine's speech at the end, all the students except Hakuno met the same fates in every iteration of the loop, so continuing the cycle would be completely unnecessary if the only point was to determine who would survive.

I don't know, maybe most of this stuff is deliberately kept mysterious and will be revealed later on. But those are my thoughts so far.

Maybe because the War happen differently? Master win, defeated by Saver, another Master win defeated by Saver until there's the one who can defeat Saver?

Since the anime panned over it, thigh high latex boots really stood out to me for casual wear. Nevermind the rest of her outfit.

[Draconic]

He was an NPC in OG Extra, and he still had visons from his past in it.

Those burning city clips that Hakuno saw were definitely shots of the Fuyuki Fire though.

I swear, if Hakuno turns out to be the 'ghost' of Shirou, I'll just start headdesking and never, ever stop.
