Preparations for War

Summoning of the Heroic Spirits ✻ False Opening

EP 01 Eight years before the start of the Fourth Holy Grail War, Irisviel gives birth to Ilyasviel.
Kiritsugu Iri. I will… cause your death.
Irisviel I know. It’s the earnest wish of the Einzberns and the very reason I exist. I am who I am now because I learned of your ideals and took your prayers to heart. You’ve guided me. You’ve given me a life a mere puppet wouldn’t have. You need not pity me. I’m already a part of you.
EP 01 Kiritsugu and Irisviel go over the intel concerning their opponents in the coming war.
Irisviel Emiya Kiritsugu. Newest member of the Einzbern family and their trump card. And the man I love.
EP 01 Kiritsugu and Irisviel ponder over strategies for the coming war as well as the nature of the Heroic Spirit that will be summoned.
Irisviel What will you do if you’re worried before even summoning him? We don’t know what the King of Knights was like. What’s more, no matter your tactics, once he learns of your ideal, your dream… I’m sure he’ll understand. Just like me.
EP 02 With Irisviel’s insight, Saber seeks to understand Kiritsugu, whose nature she can’t quite grasp and who doesn’t seem to approve of her.
Saber He wants to use the Grail’s power to save the world. Is that not Kiritsugu’s and your common wish?
Irisviel Yes, but I’m merely repeating what he said.
Saber […] I think what you and Kiritsugu seek is right. It is something to be proud of.
