Chapter 88 Uneasy
"Fate/Zero" is a derivative prequel to the original Fate in Tang Yao's previous life. In terms of the perfect setting and the consistent character design... it is definitely not as good as the story written by Mushroom himself.

However, Gen Urobuchi did write his own style in this work. You can say that some of the heroic spirits in his story are inconsistent with the settings and their strength settings are incorrect.

But it is undeniable that Gen Urobuchi, a writer with a strong personal style, did bring something different to the FATE series.

Because compared to the strength, panel, and logic of the Heroic Spirit.

Gen Urobuchi prefers to focus on cause and effect and fate in his stories.

Among them, Lancer Diarmuid is a typical example. He responded to the call out of loyalty, but ended up repeating the same mistakes and obtaining the same fate as in the myth. He was eventually ordered by his master to commit suicide.

Even his master, Director Ken, brought his fiancée to the land of Fuyuki in order to get her to accept him, but she ended up falling in love with Lancer...

Cruel and ironic.

It is precisely because of this unique sense of fate that "Fate/Zero" has a more adult feel.

In fact, the same is true for Kiritsugu Emiya, who can be regarded as the protagonist of "Fate/Zero".

He will eventually meet his fate.

Of course, this hasn't been drawn yet...

However, Lancer's ending has already been drawn... and the final outcome of this heroic spirit alone has already shocked the readers of this world.

no way.

It was really too shocking.

They really didn't expect that Lancer would end up like this.

In this episode of "Fate/Zero", the first half is Saber using her Noble Phantasm, and the Sword of Promised Victory makes its debut.

The players were so excited watching this.

Continue scrolling down.

And then...then they saw the famous scene of 'Lanceman Lucky E'.

Saber and Lancer were ready to fight it out, but while they were concentrating on the battle, they didn't notice that on the other side, Emiya Kiritsugu was forcing Kayneth to sign a compulsory spell... In the end, Kayneth gave in, consumed all the remaining Command Seals, and forced Lancer to commit suicide...

When Lancer, a knight full of honor, committed suicide with hatred and cursed everyone present with resentment... all readers were stunned to see this heroic spirit who had always been elegant and calm cursing everyone present with a ferocious expression.

This development was really too sudden.

The duel we agreed on!!
Rather, the two of them had even started fighting.

But in the end, it unfolded like this... This is indeed too new for readers in this world.

They haven't seen this.

"Fate/Zero" has an extremely novel setting, distinctive character creation, and a fast-paced narrative... It really opens the readers' eyes.

With each episode released, readers debate whether the characters' motives are justified, which summoned heroic spirits are stronger, and whether the strategies adopted by the players in this Holy Grail War are the optimal solutions...

It can be said that one link after another will push the discussion heat to a climax in a spiral manner.

In this issue, because Lancer was forced to commit suicide, the protagonist Emiya Kiritsugu acted in a despicable and cruel way, which pushed the popularity of the comics to a new peak.

Li Xue's words that the magazine was coveting "Fate/Zero" were not meant to comfort Tang Yao.

It’s absolutely true!
Because this comic is...really popular right now!

The largest anime-related forum in China.

Many readers are still posting to discuss the plot of this episode.

"Fuck...forcing a Heroic Spirit to commit suicide! And then killing the Master! Emiya Kiritsugu is such a jerk!"

"The scene where Lancer cursed before his death was truly shocking. We agreed on a fair duel, but in the end, it was exactly like in the myth, he was killed by his master..."

"Ahhh... third-rate painter! You're such a jerk! Saber was stunned, and Lance obviously thought she was also an insider."

"It's so well drawn... I'm really curious now, how will this manga end? Will Kiritsugu really save all of humanity?"

"I don't know. I want to read the next episode of Fate/Zero right now! Damn it! I feel like weekly updates are still too slow!"

"Brother Gun, you died tragically!!! And why do I feel like you're the unluckiest one?" "..."

At this point… a few days have passed since the latest issue of Fate/Zero was released.

But readers' enthusiasm for discussion remains very high.

But soon, this situation changed...

Because there are so many readers who are crazy about this comic, they are always lurking on the website created by Avalon Studio for "Fate/Zero", and they will refresh it occasionally to see if there is anything new.

And today happens to be the day when the test questionnaire is released.

So soon, a reader posted about this.

"Eh? Now when you go to the Fate/Zero website, a questionnaire automatically pops up? And it asks us to leave our contact information?"

"I got it too! What is this?"

"Why are all the questions about games!?"

"..."

Soon, the appearance of the questionnaire on the "Fate/Zero" website replaced the discussion of the previous plot and became the most concerned issue among readers on the forum.

Because this is really weird. A comic book website suddenly popped up a questionnaire asking people if they usually play games, what types of games they play, etc.

Readers began to discuss.

Avalon Studios' purpose was so straightforward that most readers soon realized what was going on.

...Could this mean that "Fate/Zero" is going to be made into a game?

Some readers even analyzed it seriously:

"It should be the game... The Fate/Zero website has been out for a while now. I doubt you could easily create those beautiful illustrations. It must have taken a lot of effort. But there's no news of an animation for this manga... Combined with the current questionnaire, the answer is obvious.

But if this were made into a game... I'm sorry, I really can't imagine what it would be like. If you look at the online games on the market now... it seems like a rip-off!"

This post quickly became popular.

It’s not that it’s well written, but the confused readers need a post to discuss it in one place.

And this post became the lucky post.

Countless readers who love "Fate/Zero" started discussing it below.

But most readers...are not looking forward to it at all, on the contrary...how should I put it, they are a little worried.

Although there is no such argument as electronic poison in online games here, the certification for minors is extremely strict after all.

But how to say it... After all, the gap between online games and comics is quite large, and there are currently no games specifically targeting the two-dimensional group, which means that most readers can only refer to ordinary online games on the market.

However, ordinary online games on the market do not match the tone of "Fate/Zero" in any way.

Readers feel that... "Fate/Zero" being made into a game is very weird, very weird.

So most readers are worried.

Some people were so excited...that they even started saying that this was destroying the IP.

"Games? No...it would be boring."

"No, why? Why are you so depressed? Playing games?"

"Online game? Or something? No, third-rate teachers, don't do that! The comics are fine! At worst, make an animation! Or publish a single volume! I'll buy it! Please! Don't license the comics to weird people..."

"Game? What kind of game could Fate/Zero be? I feel like none of the current games on the market quite meet the requirements. A visual novel? But the questionnaire also asks about payment... It doesn't seem like that. I'm a little worried."

"No! Why are you suddenly licensing a game?! Don't listen to the manufacturer's lies! This will ruin the manga!!!"

"..."
