Ep. 12: Kiritsugu adopts Shirou while Kirei and Saber reflect on the Grail's tragic aftermath.

The Grail’s corruption floods Fuyuki City, killing Archer and consuming Kariya, who collapses after failing to save Sakura. Kirei Tohsaka awakens resurrected with a mortal body granted to Archer, laughing hysterically at his own lack of humanity before they agree to travel together. Kirei observes Kiritsugu searching for survivors and finds young Shirou Emiya alive. He later attends Tokiomi’s funeral and meets Rin and her brain-damaged mother Aoi, giving Rin the Azoth dagger while enjoying her grief. Waver Velvet requests to stay with Glen and Martha to earn money for future travels. Saber, restored as a Heroic Spirit, recalls Lancelot’s betrayal and regrets her failure as a king, vowing to win the next Holy Grail War. Kiritsugu remains in Fuyuki, adopting Shirou after Jubstacheit von Einzbern denies him entry to the Einzbern estate. Five years later, Kiritsugu shares his dream of becoming a hero with Shirou before dying quietly, content that his adopted son will fulfill his wish.
