第9話: GilgameshがGrailの腐敗を明らかにしShinjiを堕落させる中、ShirouとEmiyaが衝突する

Shirou and Emiya continue their battle, with Emiya chastising Shirou for continuing to pursue his ideal and declaring that he will remove every trace of him in existence. However, as the battle continues, Emiya begins to realize that Shirou, being himself, will never give up and that it is pointless to defeat him now. Finally, as he explains the beauty he saw in his ideal, Shirō's spirit begins to overwhelm Unlimited Blade Works, and he rushes Emiya. Emiya tries to react, but he becomes distracted by a flashback of Kiritsugu's last moments and is wounded by Shirō, just as Rin arrives. With this, Emiya admits defeat and allows Shirou, Rin, and Saber to escape, before being impaled by three swords fired from Gilgamesh's Noble Phantasm. Declaring his hatred for fakes, Gilgamesh fires more swords at Shirō and Emiya, but Emiya pushes Shirō out of the way and dies after taking the full blow of the attack. Saber, expressing a familiarity with Gilgamesh, demands to know why he is here, and he explains that after the end of the Fourth Holy Grail War, in which he was an Archer-class Servant, he bathed in the Holy Grail during its destruction at the hands of Saber, also a Servant in that war, and took physical form. He then explains the nature of the Grail, disheartening Saber with the revelation that the Servants themselves form the Grail's contents as their collective essences are absorbed into it in order to fuel it, meaning that the Servants themselves never had any chance of using it to fulfill their respective wishes as only a Master - a mage - could make use of the Grail. Gilgamesh then reveals that the Holy Grail is actually corrupted and was so in the Fourth War as well, and is a container for thousands of evil curses, announcing his intention to use it as a weapon to eradicate the human race, being disgusted by the lifestyle of modern humans and hoping to rule over any potential survivors. He then leaves the the trio in the villa as it burns down from the fire Lancer started earlier, and later finds Shinji in the forest, learning from him about Kirei's death and the reason behind Rin's escape. When Shinji asks about finding a vessel for the Holy Grail, Gilgamesh implants Illyasviel's heart into him, deeming him a worthy enough vessel, and leaves him as he begins to mutate into a massive, shapeless form of flesh.
