Gilgamesh is stalking Sakura, as I thought.

Four years ago Sakura.  She seemed a lot more depressed or something.

Hey Tohsaka.  I see your hobby of standing on tall buildings and looking down is still in tact.

Oh gog new character what?

That eye is creepy as hell Zouken Matou.  (who has an awesome name)

Is Zouken meta?!  What?!  Nah, I have to be mistaken.  Hmm, thinking about it.  Kiritsugu Emiya is Illya's father I think.  So that would make Illya...Shirou's sister?  Daaaaaaaamn.  Even if they aren't related by blood I don't want to see anything funny.  Plus Illyasviel is like, a small child.

Current Events

• On 1/31, Shirou asks Sakura if she wants to walk home with him and this time she agrees, which is strangely different than what usually happens.  When we get there she talks about this goldie stalker and then leaves.  Shirou head home for the night, he's not even a Master yet.
• Now 2/1, Shirou's morning is different because Sakura helps with the cooking for breakfast and lunch.  During this Sakura notices that Shirou's left hand is bruised, which Shirou has no idea what this means, and Sakura suddenly acts withdrawn and stays quiet before leaving for school.
• After school is over, Shirou decides to talk to Sakura to make sure she's okay.  The two exchange words and their relationship is healed.  Sakura leaves and Shirou heads to work.  Work plays out the same like it usually does, which makes it match up with the prologue, hohoho.
• Now that work is finished, Shirou goes to Sakura's house just for the heck of it.  It's around 8pm or something so it's pretty late.  There he doesn't see the stranger Sakura was talking about, and before he does anything else an old man walks up to him, ready to beat the hell out of him for stalking his granddaughter.  After some misunderstandings are cleared Zouken apologizes to Emiya and the two talk shortly.  Zouken seems to know Shirou's Father and assumes that the Einzberns are still making contact with them regularly.  After some confusions Zouken decides it's time for good night and leaves Shirou on his way.  Shirou is kinda stunned but he goes home for the usual dinner, magic training, and then sleeping.

Thoughts
Oh boy, new character.  I guess Higurashi and Umineko did the same thing so it's not too surprising.  It's always weird when you play the same setting over and over again but new characters keep getting added to the mix.  In any case, Heaven's Feel is totally going to be about the Matous.  So I expect all the Sakura, Shinji, Rider, and now Zouken development.  All of it!

Third day, 2/2, at the church.  I reject Kotomine and decline at being a Master.

So Kotomine takes the Command Spells from me and I lose my contract with Saber.  She sweep kicks me and runs off.  I feel kinda bad.  Then I decide to head home, by myself.

And Illya is there, waiting like usual on the third night.  With Berserker.

Shinji made the most hilarious sound here.  I wish I could record it.  OMAE O GAAAAAAH

Gasp!  This man isn't dead.

And he's making other people die.

Shinji is an expert at kicking dead bodies.  I've never seen somebody this dedicated.

I AM YOU, YOU ARE ME

I AM US AND YOU KILL ME

Wait no, let Gilgamesh do that.  He's still in his J-pop outfit this entire game so far as well.  It's so weird.

I, SHINJI, ONLY HAVE ONE WORKING ARM HAHAHAHA

I MUST COLLECT EVERYBODY ELSE'S ARMS HAHAHAHAHA

Shirou really is forced into all of these surreal scenes.  The music doesn't help either.

Current Events

• Shinji and Gilgamesh find Archer and Tohsaka.  Archer says he'll give Tohsaka to them both if Shirou doesn't show up by dawn.  In the meanwhile they'll just hang around in the Einzbern castle waiting.
• Shirou, Saber, and Lancer show up at the castle, surprise.  Archer is at the top of the stairs, waiting to confront them.  Lancer says he'll go get Tohsaka since that's what his Master wants him to do anyway.  Shirou and Archer then exchange words about who is right and who is wrong and ideals and stuff.  Saber says she will not interfere.
• Lancer finds Tohsaka and punches Shinji, who was hitting her while she was tied to the chair.  Before he can unbind her though Kotomine shows up, surprising everybody.  He tells Lancer to kill Tohsaka, but he refuses so Kotomine just tells him to kill himself.  As he's about kill Tohsaka himself Lancer manages to kill Kotomine since he doesn't just disappear instantly.  So Kirei dies for real this time.  Shinji tries to rape Tohsaka but Lancer stabs him and Shinji runs away in fear, surviving yet again.  Man does Type-Moon love keeping him alive this game.  Lancer frees Tohsaka and tells her to go get Shirou.  As Tohsaka is leaving he starts to disappear and lights the room on fire so that Kotomine burns along with him.
• Shirou shows that he is THE REAL ME WITH TRUE IDEALS and pierces Archer.  This obviously doesn't kill him but Archer realizes that Shirou is the correct self and Archer was just being stupid and evil and it's alright now.  Tohsaka shows up and everybody is reunited nicely, except well...
• Gilgamesh shows up.  He fires a shit ton of arrows and kills Archer.  He then is about to kill Shirou when the fire started by Lancer starts to bother him.  He doesn't want to get "dirty ashes" on himself so he decided to leave.
• Shinji is running through the woods with his wounded arm.  His sanity is leaving him as he has fantasies about taking everybody else's arms since he only has one he can use right now.  Gilgamesh shows up and Shinji starts spitting insults at his shitty servant for not doing anything right.  So Gilgamesh sticks Illya's heart into him and decides to use him as the vessel for the Holy Grail this time.  They must have paid Shinji's voice actor a ton of money because his voice acting in this scene is INSANE.  Like, it's just simply insanity coming out of Shinji's "mouth" at this point.  He turns into some horrible, painful, sad-inducing meatblob that Gilgamesh ties down with his Heaven's Chains and then heads to Ryudou Temple.  All the while Shinji's being is slowly crying 'help me'.  :\  Sorry Shinji.
• Shirou, Saber, and Tohsaka head back to Shirou's house.  They devise a plan to face Gilgamesh at Ryudou Temple and then Shirou has sex with Tohsaka before going to bed for one hour.

Thoughts
Damn.  Daaaaaaaamn.  Really good day.  My only two complaints would be the fight between Shirou and Archer took for ever when I got the point already and the obligatory end game H scene that doesn't mean anything.  Lancer was awesome, as per usual.  A lot more than in the first game.  Shinji was as bad as ever, but what Gilgamesh did to him was horrible.  I visually cringed when I saw what happened to him...it's sickening.  His voice actor didn't make it any better.  I didn't even take any screen caps of it.  Anyway, uh, tomorrow will be the last day I can already tell.  Let's do this, second route end go go!
