EPISODE 24: Blasted Tree (ruby: Lightning Branch of Crucifixion)
B.Lancer: …! // So you incinerated the stakes within your body. // Even burning away your own entrails in the process…
Darnic: The Fire God Agni… and golden armor… // Just as I suspected—
Page 3:
Darnic: My lord, // Lancer of Red’s true name is— // One of the great heroes of the Mahabharata, // “Karna”.
Narrator: Heroic Spirit “Karna”— // A hero blessed with invulnerability, whose deeds were recorded in the great epic poem “Mahabharata” from ancient India. // Born from the Sun God Surya and the human woman Kunti, // he was given golden armor from his father as proof of being his son. // He was a fine example of someone who was a great hero from the moment he was born.
Page 4:
Narrator: He was born as the son of both a god and royalty, but Karna was abandoned by his mother immediately after his birth and was raised by a foster father of low social status. // From thereafter, he was continuously beset by various curses and hardships. // Despite his low status, he mastered many martial arts and was welcomed by a royal family who acknowledged his power. // However, it was a royal family that opposed the nation of his mother and half-brothers. // Eventually, war broke out and he ended up facing his brothers in battle. // Shortly before the final battle against Arjuna, one of his brothers and his mortal foe, Karna lost his armor due to a deceitful ploy by Arjuna’s father, the Lightning God Indra. // Having thus lost his invulnerability, Karna was shot down by Arjuna just when his body was frozen in place due to a curse. // Despite the many hardships he went through, he made it his creed to never refuse when something was asked of him or when others requested his help. // Despite receiving every misfortune imaginable, he never resented anyone and lived with pride till the end. // —The Hero of Charity—
Page 5:
R.Lancer: You form a country, protect it, // and eliminate invaders. // Your way of life is quite correct as a ruler. // But, // you know nothing of battles between heroes. // A true hero kills with his eyes.
B.Lancer: (leave unchanged)
Page 6-7:
B.Lancer: Lancer of Red…!
R.Lancer: Lancer of Black. // I’ll be taking your head.
Page 8:
R.Saber: Ah, damnit. I’m quite busy, ya know? // …So just die already!
B.Rider: No, no. // Don’t say that. Keep me company for a while, won’t you?
R.Saber: Cut the crap!!
Page 9:
B.Rider: Gah…!
R.Saber: —See ya.
B.Rider: ……plete.
R.Saber: ?
B.Rider: …Preparations // complete.
R.Saber: What preparations…?
Page 10:
Caules: All right. // A clean hit! // A surprise attack boosted by a Command Spell. // With this, even Saber of Red should be… / !?
Page 11:
B.Rider: —No way. // Impossible. // How can she be unharmed after that attack…?
R.Saber: Berserker… // Did you think a third-rate Servant like you joining the battle…
Page 12:
R.Saber: —would let you win // against me!?
Caules: Berserker…!!
Page 13:
R.Saber: You—
B.Berserker: Uu… // Uu… // Uu…
R.Saber: A homunculus… no. // Some kind of mechanical doll?
Page 14:
R.Saber: Well, I don’t really care about the true name of someone who’s going to vanish here.
B.Rider: …
Page 15:
B.Rider: Aaaaaaaaa!
R.Saber: Come at me, // bitch!* (TL note: Yes, Mordred literally calls Astolfo bitch. Once again, his trap appearance deceives friends and foe alike.)
B.Rider: —!?
R.Saber (thought): —Another one? // No. // No need to concern myself with the likes of a homunculus.
B.Richer (thought): Why are you here—!?
Page 16:
Sieg (thought): Rider of Black will be killed by Saber of Red at this rate. // I can’t stand back and watch him die. // Even if Saber’s armor looks unharmed, it definitely received damage from Berserker’s attack. // If I aim for that spot—
R.Saber: Wh- // -at?
Page 17:
R.Saber: You. // —Who are you? // If you don’t want to answer, that’s fine with me. // I’ve decided that I’m going to kill you.
B.Rider: —!! // Stop, Saber!
Page 18:
B.Rider: Gah // Haa! // Guh // Uu…
Page 19:
R.Saber: Unfortunately, I’ve already decided that this guy is an enemy. // If you were just a bit weaker, it might not have come to this.
Page 20:
R.Saber: —See ya. // I’ll make sure to carve you into my memories.
Page 21:
B.Rider: Saber of Red, // I won’t forgive you.
R.Saber: Hah! // This is a battlefield. // Of course I’m going to kill those who oppose me. // Especially those who wound me!
B.Rider: Yeah. // I know that. // I know. // But, // there’s no way I could ever accept that kind of reasoning!
Shishigou: —Hey!
Page 22:
Shishigou: Hey, // what happened to Berserker of Black!?
R.Saber: What’s with you, Master? // Berserker’s already— // What…!?
Page 23:
R.Saber: Kuh… // Get off!!
B.Berserker: Aa // Ooooooo—
B.Rider: Berserker!
Celenike: —That’s enough, Rider. // Berserker is going to unleash her Noble Phantasm. // Retreat.
R.Rider: No way, she’s using that…?
Page 24:
Caules (thought): Berserker has two Noble Phantasms. // One is a continuously-active Noble Phantasm, “Bridal Chest”. // And the other // is her last resort, activated by releasing all of Bridal Chest’s limiters. // If she uses it, Berserker will definitely die.
Caules: …Berserker, I’ll back you up with a Command Spell. // I order you with a Command Spell. // —Release all your restraints. // Activate your Noble Phantasm “Blasted Tree” and kill Saber of Red.
Page 25:
R.Saber: You…!
B.Berserker: You’re // coming // with me.
Page 26-27:
B.Berserker: —Blasted Tree— (ruby: Lightning Branch of Crucifixion)
Page 28:
B.Rider: Did she do it…? // Wha…
Page 29:
R.Saber: …Damn it. // I wasn’t able to evade it completely. // Master, if you’d just teleported me with a Command spell a second earlier…
Shishigou: It wouldn’t have changed anything. The enemy strengthened their Noble Phantasm with a Command Spell too. // You should just be glad you didn’t get evaporated there.
Page 30:
Caules: —Damn it!
Fiore: …You didn’t make any mistakes.
Caules: No, // I did! // I knew that the enemy had Command Spells too. // It was my mistake to make such a reckless gamble in spite of that knowledge. // I // made her…Berserker die a meaningless death…!

Ruler: Wha…!?
R.Archer: Hmph. // You must be Ruler.
Ruler: —Archer of Red.
Page 33:
R.Berserker: Ooooooooooo
Ruler: That’s Berserker… right?
R.Archer: Indeed. // It seems I’ve gotten you mixed up in this. // Forgive me, Ruler.
Ruler: No, // this kind of inconvenience is commonplace.
Page 34:
R.Archer: I’ve received an order from my Master. // I’ll be withdrawing now. // Sorry, // but I leave the rest to you.
Ruler: Wai— // …I’ve been had.

Ruler: (leave unchanged)

R.Saber: Hey, Master.
Shishigou: What?
R.Saber: Let me reconfirm. // Saber of Black has already vanished, right?
Shishigou: He should have. // If we’re to believe what Father Shirou reported, anyway.
Page 38-39:
R.Saber: …Then // who the hell is in front of me right now!?
