Just as Akiha finished complaining, her vision suddenly went dark.
It turned out that Rider had placed her hand over Akiha's eyes.
"Little kids shouldn't watch this, or you'll get an eye infection," Rider said, shielding Akiha from the inappropriate scenes on the screen while also expressing her dissatisfaction with a certain shameless director.
"Master, don't you think this is too much? Is this really suitable for children?"
"Uh... yeah, my bad."
Shinji scratched his head, looking somewhat embarrassed.
When he set Akiha up to watch the screening, all he had considered was that the fifth episode didn't have any explicit nudity or excessively gory scenes, completely forgetting about the part where Rin was engulfed in dark mud.
Strictly speaking, this scene could barely be classified as all-ages content, though only by a thin margin.
There was no helping it—since Heaven's Feel was intended as an R-rated work from the outset, Shinji felt it was a bit unfair if he didn't push the boundaries during both filming and editing.
If Fate didn't already have a decent amount of fame and had started directly with Heaven's Feel, Shinji would have made things even more extreme.
This was, after all, how most R-rated productions drew in casual audiences—using violence and sensuality as bait.
Why else did Game of Thrones deliberately go heavy on the sex and violence in its early seasons, earning it the nickname "Game of Kill and Sex"?
If they truly wanted to avoid controversy, those elements could have been presented differently, or even removed entirely to achieve an all-ages rating.
But frankly, such things were nothing more than marketing gimmicks to attract viewers.
Luckily, Shinji's Fate had long since moved past that phase. He no longer needed to make the Holy Grail War resemble the original game exactly.
Still, some things needed to be faithfully adapted—otherwise, it would have wasted the potential of Heaven's Feel as a story.
And so, they ended up with the scene where Rin was bound in black tentacles.
To avoid religious disputes, Shinji refrained from having Rin suspended by her hands. Instead, she was roughly tied up into a black cocoon.
"Is that all you've got? Not as strong as I imagined, huh, dear sister~"
On the big screen, Sakura cheerfully admired her sister's sorry state as she lay imprisoned.
To fully enjoy Rin's pained expression, Sakura had deliberately left her sister's face uncovered by the dark mud.
"S-Sakura... y-you..."
Rin gritted her teeth, trying to endure the humiliation, and glared back at her sister.
Unfortunately, her resistance lasted only a few seconds.
The black mud within Rin's body continued to churn and invade her magic circuits.
"Guh! Ah... ha... ha—"
Offscreen, Rin desperately wanted to find a hole to hide in.
She hadn't felt embarrassed at all while filming, but watching the final cut now made her feel utterly humiliated.
Meanwhile, onscreen, Sakura wasn't about to let her sister off the hook. Her fingers lightly traced Rin's cheek.
"Hehe~ Time for me to enjoy you a little~"
The gelatinous shadows tightened around Rin.
"This is delightful. It's my first time tasting a magi's magic power~"
Within just a few seconds, all the magic power in Rin's body had been drained completely.
"Ah... ugh..."
Depleted of magic, Rin hung her head, panting painfully, completely drained of energy and unable to resist any further.
"Delicious."
Sakura licked her fingers seductively, her expression twisted in a sickly grin.
"Though it's far from enough to satisfy me, it's a decent appetizer, sister~"
With her irregular breathing, flushed cheeks, and body corrupted by the dark mud, Rin's dire state was incredibly stimulating to Sakura.
Similarly, a certain little girl in the audience found the scene equally overwhelming—Akiha no longer needed Rider's help to cover her eyes; she was doing it herself.
Of course, if Akiha could manage to close her fingers together, it would have been more effective.
"Calm down, Akiha-chan," Illya said mercilessly, her expression indifferent. "If you're already freaking out over this, what will you do when more intense scenes show up later?"
"More intense?"
Illya nodded. "Yep, much more intense than this."
"Could it be that kind of..."
Akiha's eyes began to tremble, her mind filling with censored images of all kinds.
"No way... that pervert..."
Akiha could only feel an overwhelming sense of shame as two deep blushes bloomed on her cheeks.
The warmth on her face, coming from her hands pressed against it, made Akiha realize just how hot her cheeks were.
"Akiha-chan, are you okay? Your face is really red," Illya asked, concerned as she noticed Akiha's strange reaction. She reached out, intending to touch Akiha's forehead to check if she was running a fever.
Just as her fingers were about to make contact, Akiha, her face bright red, let out a sharp scream.
"Unclean!!"
Poof!
Due to her brain working in overdrive, Akiha fainted on the spot.
"Huh?!"
Illya was completely confused, a giant question mark practically floating above her head. She had no idea what had just happened.
"Illya, what exactly did you do?" Luvia asked, exasperated as she glanced at the two little girls.
Could they not let her watch the series in peace? She wanted to savor every embarrassing moment of Rin on screen!
Illya looked equally innocent. "Uh... I just mentioned that there would be even more exciting scenes later, and Akiha-chan just collapsed like that."
"More exciting scenes?"
Now it was Luvia's turn to perk up, her eyes lighting up. "How exciting? Will Rin's clothes get torn off?"
"Huh? Luvia-onee-san, what are you talking about?" Illya asked in confusion. "I meant more exciting fight scenes. The battles later on are way more intense than this one-sided beatdown."
"You meant action scenes?"
Luvia's interest instantly vanished.
"Yeah, Luvia-onee-san, what did you..."
Illya finally realized what Luvia had been implying, and her face turned bright red as well.
"You—!"
Thud
Now it was Illya's turn to faint.
"What now?"
Luvia looked at the two overheated little girls, unsure whether to laugh or cry.
"Just leave them be," Rider said, clearly uninterested in getting involved.
"Wait until this part is over, and then wake them up. If you pull them up now, they'll probably just pass out again."
"Good point."
Luvia nodded in agreement and turned her attention back to the big screen.
It seemed that Sakura had played enough and was ready to finish off her sister.
"This won't do. If I don't kill you now, next time it'll be me who gets killed."
Sakura opened her hand, staring coldly at the increasingly weakened Rin.
"Sister, now it's time to—"
"SAKURA────!!!!"
The person Sakura least wanted to see had arrived.
Like a savior descending from the heavens, the protagonist Shirou Emiya made his dramatic entrance.
And then, in the very next second, he was whipped to the ground by Sakura, performing a Neymar-style roll upon impact.
If not for Rider's quick intervention, Shirou would probably have been sent on a one-day trip to Tiger Dojo.
Unfortunately, Rider's rescue didn't fundamentally change anything, as Dark Sakura wasn't alone.
Saber Alter ambushed Rider, stabbing her and extinguishing Shirou's team's last hope of turning the tide.
In the end, it was Illya who stepped forward.
"That's enough. You shouldn't do anything unnecessary, Sakura."
Illya knew very well that if things continued like this, everyone would die.
To save Shirou, she had no choice but to sacrifice herself.
Illya walked toward Sakura.
"Sakura, your goal is me, right? I'll go with you willingly, so please let them go."
Her expression was calm—facing someone stronger than herself, Illya showed no trace of fear.
Dark Sakura was slightly confused by Illya's sudden surrender. "Really? All I want is your heart."
Many viewers who had watched Unlimited Blade Works couldn't help but shudder at this line, recalling their PTSD from the heart extraction scene.
Fortunately, Shinji didn't relapse into his old habits, and Sakura wasn't as purely sadistic as Gilgamesh.
When Illya suggested that she needed to return to the castle to retrieve her ceremonial outfit, Sakura agreed.
"Fine. It'll save me the trouble of coming to find you."
Under Sakura's control, the shadows slowly receded.
Not only did the shadows filling the courtyard vanish, but even the black mud covering Rin gradually dissipated, as if the corrupting filth had never existed in the first place.
"Though I don't know what you're planning, even if it's some kind of trick, I won't lose."
Long white hair swayed in the wind.
It was as if Sakura had lost all interest in Shirou and Rider, turning her back to them without any guard.
"Sakura!"
Kneeling on the ground, Shirou called out to Sakura as she walked away.
However, all he received was a cold reply from his former lover. "Don't ever appear before me again. Otherwise, I'll have no choice but to kill you."
With that, Sakura gradually disappeared into the distance.
Illya followed closely behind her.
The pale girl turned to Shirou and gave him a gentle, reassuring smile.
"Goodbye. Living with you was fun, Onii-chan~"
That was the last farewell Shirou heard before losing consciousness.
"Illya!"
Shirou's shout startled Akiha, who had fainted earlier, causing her to wake up suddenly.
"Where's Illya? Is she okay?"
Akiha looked around anxiously, trying to find her companion.
"I'm right here," Illya replied weakly, looking rather drained, as if embarrassed by her earlier behavior.
"You two little girls are way too excitable," Gilgamesh said from the row in front, turning around with a smug expression. "When it comes to matters between men and women, you need to stay calm. Otherwise, the guy will lose respect for you."
Smack
Gilgamesh's head was smacked by Enkidu. "Gil, isn't it too early to be teaching them this kind of stuff?"
"Is it?"
Gilgamesh pouted and turned to Akiha. "Hey, kid, want a drink to calm your nerves?"
"Of course!"
Realizing this was a chance to build a connection with the famous Gilgamesh, Akiha eagerly nodded.
"Thank you, Uncle—I mean, Brother Gilgamesh."
"Tch."
Hearing Akiha's abrupt change in title, Gilgamesh clicked his tongue in annoyance. He reached into his treasury and pulled out a can of soda, tossing it to her.
"Here."
"Thank you."
Holding the soda happily, Akiha suddenly froze.
Wait... where did this just come from?!
