EPISODE:23 Mad Monster
Page 2:
B.Rider: Hmm? // —Huh?
Page 3:
B.Rider: ?
R.Saber: Damn it, // so annoying! // Hey, Master. // Aren’t American cars supposed to be sturdy?
Shishigou: …The only vehicle that can withstand your driving is a tank.
Page 4:
B.Rider: Saber—of Red.
R.Saber: Yo. // You’re a Black Servant…right?
Shishigou: He’s probably Rider. // Now then, // I leave the rest to you, Saber.
R.Saber: What’s with you, Master? // You’re not going to stay and witness my gallant figure in action?
Shishigou: I would, if we weren’t in the middle of a chaotic battlefield right now.
R.Saber: Tch. // Then hurry up and scurry away!
Shishigou: Roger that. // Just make sure to come back alive.
Page 5:
R.Saber: Good grief. // Starting the battle without me… that’s not even funny as a joke. // …Well, whatever. // The main actor always arrives late anyway. // It’s common sense that the king joins the battle at his own leisure.
Page 6:
R.Saber: Hey, Rider. Where’s the trademark steed of your class?
B.Rider: Ah, he’s taking a short rest right now.
R.Saber: Aaah? // What kind of Rider fights without their steed? // You’re already a weak small fry even at your best. Are you that much of an amateur?
B.Rider: —Well, // I can’t really refute that.
R.Saber: No, // refute it!
B.Rider: Well, you see, // I strive to be a honest person, so…
R.Saber: Heh. // In that case, I’ll reward you for your honesty.
Page 7:
R.Saber: By turning you into a stain upon my blade without getting the chance to use your full power, you damn steedless Rider!
B.Rider: That’s quite scary. // Geez…
B.Rider (thought): —Ah. // —This is bad. // The Hell is this, I’m so gonna die.
Page 8:
B.Assassin: So much. // So much. // So much. // So much. // So much. // So much. // You all look so yummy!
Homunculus: He… // …lp…
B.Assassin: Well then, // let’s dig in!
Page 9:
Ruler (thought): The reason I was summoned into this Great Holy Grail War. // It lies beyond this battlefield.
Ruler: Get out of my way!
Page 10:
Ruler: !! // A Red Servant…
Page 11:
Ruler (thought): I don’t know why, // but the Red camp is clearly trying to eliminate me. // Is that also the will of the one who lies ahead?
Page 12:
R.Assassin: She won’t stop. // As expected of Ruler. // It seems you don’t have the time to leisurely play around, // Master.
Shirou: —Understood.
Page 13:
Shirou: Caster, we’re withdrawing. // She’s “noticed” me far faster than I thought. // This speed… She must be have received some kind of divine revelation. // Let’s meet again, // Frankenstein.
B.Berserker: ...Uu. // Uu.
Page 14:
B.Berserker: Uu. // Uaa // Aa // a // a // a
Shirou: —Oh dear. // Caster, come out of spiritual form and materialize. // I require your “theater troupe”.
R.Caster: Ooh. // I see, I see!
Page 15:
R.Caster: In that case, I’ll let you meet the man you surely love and hate in equal measure! // “Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player that struts // and frets his hour upon the stage and then is heard no more.”
B.Berserker: …Uu…!?
Dr.Frankenstein: —Stop.
Page 16:
Dr.Frankenstein: My daughter.
B.Berserker: Aa // aa // aa…
Dr.Frankenstein: A failure. // A failure. // A failure. // A failure. // An utter failure! // How could this be!? // This thing’s just a worthless puppet! // She can’t display any emotion! // Even her tear glands don’t work. // This thing can’t even be called human, let alone the perfect Eve!
Page 17:
B.Berserker (thought): I’m sorry, father. // I’m sorry. // I’m sorry. // I’m sorry. // I’m sorry for being a failure. // I’ll fix myself. // I’ll properly fix myself. // So please don’t be angry. // I’m sorry. // Don’t be angry. // Don’t be angry. // Don’t be angry—
Page 18:
B.Berserker (thought): Ah. // How pretty. // So pretty. // This is pretty. // Since it’s something I don’t have, it’s surely pretty.
Dr.Frankenstein: You’re a monster! // A mad monster!
B.Berserker: No. // No. // That’s not true. // I mean it. // I’m sane. // I just // wanted to make father happy.
Page 19:
B.Berserker (thought): Please give me someone to love me. // Please give me someone to look at me. // If I’m supposed to be the perfect Eve, // then you should have the obligation to make the perfect Adam too— // Why won’t you simply hate me? // Why won’t you look at me?
Page 20:
Dr.Frankenstein: —Yes, that’s a good girl. // Stop fighting. // I didn’t make you for something like that.
B.Berserker: Uu // Aa // Aa // Aa // Aa // Aa // Uu // Aa // Aa // Aa
Dr.Frankenstein: Wh- // -at…!?
B.Berserker (thought): —Don’t speak.

B.Berserker: (Note: in the first panel, Berserkers screams “Aa” at first in each bubble, but the text gradually becomes illegible.)
Caules: —I order you with a Command Spell. // Berserker, // calm down.
B.Berserker: Aa // …Uu // Aa?
Page 23:
Caules: All right, // have you calmed down, // Berserker? // The enemy has escaped. Let’s end this battle here for the time being.
B.Berserker: … // Aa // Uu
Caules: What happened just now couldn’t be helped. // That Master is simply abnormal. // In any case, right now, our top priority is to take down the Red Servants. // Don’t forget that.
B.Berserker: …Uu.

B.Lancer: —Splendidly done. // Lancer of Red. // Even after attacking you with thousands of my stakes, you’ve only been slightly wounded.
Page 26:
B.Lancer: You truly are worthy of being called a hero.
R.Lancer: —Thank you for the praise. // Kazikli Bey, Vlad the Impaler. // To you, these stakes are simultaneously // an attack, // defense, // show of force // and display of fear, are they not? // You establish your territory, // your castle // and what you must protect with them. // In other words, you—
Page 27:
R.Lancer: are attempting to form a nation all by yourself.
B.Lancer: And? What shall you do after realizing that? // I’m magnanimous, but I won’t accept your surrender.
R.Lancer: I’m a Heroic Spirit. // I feel no fear even if I have to face an entire country.
B.Lancer: So even facing my country all alone doesn’t fill you with fear, huh? // As expected of a hero— // However.
Page 28:
B.Lancer: I have already dealt punishment to you three times for that arrogance of yours. // Yes… // My spear has pierced you three times in total. // As such // you will die here.
Page 29:
B.Lancer: My “Kazikli Bey” (ruby: Lord of Execution) isn’t simply a Noble Phantasm that consists of stakes. // The concept of “stabbed stakes” itself is my Noble Phantasm. // As long as you are within this territory, it doesn’t matter how much you harden your defenses. // As long as the fact that “I have dealt an attack upon you” exists—
R.Lancer (thought): From my heart—

B.Lancer: Checkmate. // Lancer of Red…!
