How can I let go of the matter of saving my stepsister?

Many ancient heroes filled with glory and masters who pursued the ultimate in magic, inner joy, and saving the world fought each other, killed each other in conspiracies and intrigues, and finally the winner was decided after crossing countless Shuras and reaching the Holy Grail.

But in the end, the so-called "miracle wishing machine" is nothing but an illusion, a container of "all the evil in this world" that has long been polluted.

Not only will the wish not be fulfilled, but it will also bring misfortune. What everyone pursues is just something like this.

Although the plot is full of ups and downs, and the logic is tight, most of the stories and settings are self-consistent, and the character creation is also excellent. In the 25 episodes, the seven groups of people are portrayed with flesh and blood, but...

What is the point of watching such a story made up of regret and despair?

This is the question that everyone wants to know, and they sigh deeply after watching the whole film.

[Where's Sato Yuu? Tell that bastard to come out. I'm going to have a fight with him today!]

[The ending is nothing but delusion. It's really ironic that such a person dares to call himself a warrior of love? I am so furious! ]

[Call him out, I want to confront that bastard face to face! ]

Because of the precedent of Sato Yu accepting Totani Kota's request for a live interview after the broadcast of "One Punch Man", he had many expectations in his heart. He did not leave the live broadcast room after watching the series. The audience frantically swiped the screen and asked Sato Yu to come out and give an explanation.

This is actually what Sato Yuu is looking forward to.

He had some words he wanted to convey to as many people as possible through the live broadcast, and the time was most appropriate as the animation had just finished and the audience was furious and had countless words to say, and they also wanted to get an explanation from him.

There are a large number of people in Kota Totani's live broadcast room, and compared with the company's official account, the effect that can be achieved here is also the best.

So, he readily accepted the invitation, and soon, Sato Yu's handsome face appeared in Totani Kota's live broadcast room.

【Fuck, so handsome! 】

【Kami Sato, I am your fan! 】

【Welcome Kami Sato to take time out of his busy schedule to visit our live studio to inspect and guide our work! It is a great honor and a great honor! 】

[Who is this? Sato Yuu? Give me a kiss! Who is this? Sato Yuu? Give me a kiss! Who is this? Sato Yuu? Give me a kiss! ]

All Japanese netizens are good at Sichuan Opera face-changing. They were calling Sato a bastard just now, but a moment later, Sato Yuzhen showed up in the live broadcast room and the audience immediately changed their expressions and called out crazily on the barrage, as if everyone had a dual personality.

On the Internet everyone calls him/her "kami", but I dare not even imagine what we would call him/her if we really met him/her in real life.

Complaining in his heart about the fickleness of netizens, after a brief greeting, Kota Totani asked a question to Sato Yu.

Perhaps he was furious because he saw the wonderful but unexpected ending?

As he spoke, the first question he asked was particularly sharp.

“We all watched the animation together, it was very exciting, but——

Sato Kami, are you really sure that the story depicted in the second half of this animation, the ending where no one dies happily, conveys the core of what you call "love and hope"? "

Volume 164: Chapter Chapter . Shocking interview!

"Yes."

In response to the question raised by Kota Totani, "Are you sure that the core of the story depicted in the second half of this animation, where no one dies happily in the end, is what you call "love and hope?"

Both the audience and Kota Totani would think that Sato Yu would be so ashamed that he would turn his eyes away and grab his cheeks to ease his inner embarrassment, and finally he would embarrassedly admit that he had committed publicity fraud as he had in the past.

Or at least you should feel a little embarrassed and try to laugh it off to them.

However, no, in response to Totani Kota's question, Sato Yu simply nodded in confirmation and said, yes, this is "love and hope"!

“Even if most of the characters in the play have suffered the most severe betrayal that is completely contrary to the beliefs they uphold, it is still love and hope?”

"Yes."

"Even if you try your best and use the most despicable means to finally obtain the Holy Grail, but find that your wish cannot be fulfilled, not only will everything be in vain, but you must also kill your wife and daughter with your own hands. Is this also love and hope?"

"Yes."

"Even if the person who desires the Holy Grail the most forces the person who needs it the most to destroy it, it will be useless. Facing the ruins, the person who dreams of becoming a messenger of justice cries and falls into despair. Is this also love and hope?"

"Yes."

No matter how I asked, the only response I got was "Yes."

Yes, yes, yes~

With a brisk tone, he said the most annoying words to irritate everyone, and with his handsome face, Sato Yu looked so adorable while trying to hold back his laughter that all the audience couldn't help but harden.

It’s hard, the fist is hard!

"Can I hit you?"

It's really despicable. Even the high priest of the Sato cult, the Sato Yoshiko who was rumored on the Internet, who had been helped by Sato Yuu who blocked the bullet, and who had always stood firmly on Sato Yuu's side no matter how unfavorable the situation was since Sato Yuu became famous, could not hold back at this time.

Although he has been arguing with netizens, advising them not to be blinded by the criticism and to be tolerant towards anime, in fact, he was also hurt several times by the plot of the later period of "Fate/Zero", and he has long been dissatisfied.

Without caring about anything else, his fists were erect. At this moment, Totani Kota really wanted to punch Sato Yulai.

As long as he still says "yes", I will go straight to Sato Yu's house through live broadcast and use the weight I have gained from eating meat for a long time to teach this little brat a lesson!

however--

"Dah!"

With his hands crossed, Sato Yu always kept his mind quick and was not affected by the inertia of his previous answers at all. He refused decisively.

At the same time, he also gave his own explanation.

“Perhaps, it is different from everyone’s understanding, but as a creator, I do believe that the core of my work is [love and hope].”

“Although the means and methods are harsh and cruel, in fact, each character has his or her own noble character and is consistent.

Lancer followed his chivalry, Rider followed his way of conquest, Berserker... even the most evil Caster, at the last moment, received the redemption he had been waiting for and embraced the light of the saint in his imagination.

Although many Masters died, Waver, who survived the bloody battle, became a real man and could say to Archer without fear that he was a subject of the King of Conquerors.

As for Emiya Kiritsugu... Phew, he sacrificed a few to save the majority, and he still carried out his justice until the end, didn't he? And in the end, his wish was truly fulfilled by someone.

Shirou, the red-haired boy who always smiles cheerfully, will carry out his motto of being the messenger of justice and create a new future.

This, in my opinion, is love and hope.”

"It's just a sophistry! But... since you said so, I can only agree to it."

This time, he stood on the side of the audience and, like the barrage, Kouta Totani refuted Sato Yu's shameless sophistry, but in the end he still compromised.

The person who truly controls the story is Sato Yu. His understanding of "love and hope" is not consistent with that of the public, but since he has said so, there is only compromise and reconciliation.

After all, what they really wanted was not to thoroughly denounce Sato Yu and bring him to ruin, those were just their angry words, words typed on the public screen to vent their dissatisfaction, not sincere words.

After all, the reason why people criticize and scold "Fate/Zero" and Sato Yu is not because the animation is bad, but because the animation is too good, too deeply rooted in people's hearts, too immersive, and too relatable. It is because they like it too much that they criticize it, and the deeper the love, the more severe the criticism.

Everyone really likes this story, the characters in it, and the various developments of the story.

Although she always clamors for updates and complains like a shrew in the barrage about the emptiness of having no anime to watch.

However, from summer to winter, for six months, the sense of fulfillment that they felt when watching the plot progress was not illusory. Even if there were many cuts in the later stages that made people feel sad, what urged them to continue watching was not the so-called sunk cost, but the fact that even if there were cuts, even if they knew it was a cut, they still refused to give up and still had the deepest love for the animation that they were looking forward to.

How many years has it been since I could pour this kind of love into an anime?

It is so excellent that no matter how many knives "Fate/Zero" throws, no matter how dissatisfied it is with Sato Yu, at this moment, even if the handsome and dizzying bastard Xiong Xiaogui on the other side of the screen is still smiling with his succubus smile, even if he still thinks he is promoting "love and hope".

Even if the answer is not satisfactory, it is enough to get a reply.

Who made this guy who deserves to be beaten create such an excellent and phenomenal work? Everything is up to him. After all, he is everyone's "God of Animation", Sato Yuya.

"Huh~ It's finally finished. It's been aired for half a year, but the actual production should be almost a year. During this period, the quality was super high, and since the fourth episode, it has surpassed the national team animation "DARLING in the FRANXX".

I thought the biggest highlight of this season would be the feud between Kami Sato and Masashi Umezawa, and the confrontation with the national team. Unexpectedly, in the end, all of this was insignificant. The focus went around and around, and finally returned to the animation itself, and to the superb quality of the animation.

Sato Kami, how many points would you give to this animation out of 10?"

After moving on to the topic of love and hope, he followed the audience's comments and selected questions that were asked quite a lot in the comments. He symbolically summarized "Fate/Zero" and asked Sato Yuu about his rating of his animation.

At present, the lowest point was 6.8 points. After the next few episodes were broadcast, the score returned to nine points. Now that it is truly finished, the score will rise again, but these are the audience's ratings. How does the creator Sato Yuu himself view his work?

For a moment, the 200,000 viewers at home and abroad in the live broadcast room held their breath and listened to Sato Yu's answer.

"very!"

Without any hesitation, just a second after Totani Kota spoke, Sato Yu gave a clear answer in a sonorous, powerful and firm voice.

"So high? A perfect piece?"

Somewhat surprised at Sato Yu's "complacency", Totani Kota couldn't help but ask back in confusion.

“Yes, perfect work!”

Nodding, Sato Yu confirmed again.

"I'm just a new director, I just directed a comedy animation, at the very beginning, I was just a new director with nothing, thanks to Mochizuki...

No, I have to go back a lot further. Even the position of director of "Azure Blue" was given to me by President Mochizuki. She used her strength to support me and help me complete all these animations.

He gave up his supervisor position, and even though he knew I wanted to leave to work on Fate/Zero, he still tried his best to help me work on the One Punch Man animation. He was also worried that I wouldn't be able to find a new job, so he used his best connections to take me to Kyoto to seek help from Kyoto Animation...

By chance, they encountered a fire, and received strong support from Kyoto Animation for saving their lives.

"Fate/Zero" is my work, but it is by no means just my work. President Mochizuki and production manager Ms. Sugino ran around for me and put in so much effort. The people in Pandia were also always tolerant of me, a traitor, and were always willing to support me.

The arrival of Kyoto Animation has completely revitalized this project. Everything is the result of everyone's joint efforts...

Maybe we will edit and stitch the images of the production process and release a documentary in the future? That way, everyone can know how hard everyone in the studio worked during this year.

We defeated the national team with an all-star lineup and dominated the charts for five months with an unshakable momentum. The disc sales even broke a record that had been untouched for fifteen years. It was not me who achieved this miracle, but everyone at Pandia and Kyoto Animation who created this miracle together.

We deserve a lot for producing such a perfect animation."

Who could have thought that this animation that has achieved so many miracles and has been the most popular phenomenal animation for five or ten years was rejected by various companies when it was first launched. The main creator, Sato Yu, was even kicked out by the boss. He ran into obstacles everywhere and had no way to make the production. In the end, he had to rely on extremely small chances and life-saving grace to attract a group of people from Moe Tun Animation Company to make a dark realistic animation...

It was almost like that and the animation would not be broadcast. It was almost like that and the animation might have to fall into the hands of other companies that might not necessarily support Sato Yu as absolutely as Mochizuki Nanae and Pandia do, and they might have to accept constraints, compromise, or even appear with a quality far worse than it is now.

On the way to Kyoto, he happened to encounter a fire, and because of his sacrifice, he was saved. This was a miracle with a very low probability, but such a miracle happened.

A miraculous plan! A miraculous animation!

And that is the word——

What kind of ending would be worthy of all the hardships along the way?

"I'll use Coke instead of wine. This cup is for Kami Sato, for President Mochizuki, for all the artists from Pandia and Kyoto Animation who have burned their lives to paint for the perfect presentation of Fate/Zero, and for the animation companies involved in the production. Cheers!"

A can of Coke had a lot of bubbles, and he had spat out a lot of bubbles in front of the screen in the past. However, this time, as he said he would do it, Totani Kota really tilted his head back and drank the whole bottle in one gulp. He felt like vomiting and choking several times, but he held back until he finished it completely.

Animation has always been a beautiful thing that can touch people's hearts. "Fate/Zero" is one of the top beautiful things among these beautiful things, not only in terms of its content, but also in terms of its animation quality. It carries the spirit of the production staff and the burning soul of animation.

When you see animations like this, you’ll know that the “animation pill” is just a lie. Just treat it as a piece of cake!

【Cheers to everyone! 】

【Let’s have a drink together! 】

【Kyoto people are here, let’s have one! 】

It wasn't just Kota Totani, the comments kept scrolling, singing praises for the animation. Countless viewers in front of the screen also raised their wine glasses, juice glasses, cigarettes, or pocky sticks to accompany the drink, or even a stick.

This is probably what the so-called emotional resonance between the audience and the creator is.

[Damn, it brought tears to my eyes.]

[You never gave up your justice until the end, Sato Yuu, everyone in the animation team is the winner of the Holy Grail! 】

[I seem to understand the so-called "love and hope." 】

The comments were still rolling. Watching, Sato Yuu smiled with relief, once again realizing the beauty of being recognized as a creator when he wrote novels. Totani Kota was also sentimental. Maybe he choked on the Coke? He actually choked up for a while.

Everyone waited quietly. After a long while, when they calmed down, he asked again.

"Finally, at the end of the ED, a scene flashed by. A warehouse? It should be a place like a warehouse. Facing Shirou who was sitting on the ground, Saber asked, "May I ask, are you my master?" Does the appearance of this scene mean that there will be a sequel?"

Unlike the previous life where there was the main story FSN first and then the prequel F/Z, although the last few episodes indicated in various aspects that the Holy Grail War has not yet ended and there will be another great war, in the end, Sato Yu still gave a picture.

This is the classic scene in FSN where Saber is just summoned and asks Shirou if he is her master. In this way, the seeds of expectation are completely planted, and it is no wonder that Totani Kota would ask this question.

Sato Yu did not keep the question in suspense and answered it directly.

"Yes, Fate/Zero is just a prequel. The real story, Fate/Stay Night, the story of the Fifth Holy Grail War will be released soon. Then there is FGO, a Type-Moon worldview mobile game published by Cygames, which is also being produced. These are all part of my IP plan."

"Indeed, the Type-Moon world is currently one of the most popular IPs. Kami Sato has definitely achieved unprecedented commercial success. I'm sure Pandia has made a lot of money. So, can Fate/Stay Night be broadcast now, right now, right now?

Not only me, the audience can't wait any longer!"

Jokingly, Kota Totani asked on behalf of the audience about the specific release date of "Fate/Stay night".

In this regard, Sato Yu did not disappoint them.
