The climax of Fate/Zero's ending battle was the simultaneous development of multiple storylines. It started with three separate battles, but when the Holy Grail descended, the three storylines finally converged.

At the moment when the victors of the three battles, Arturia, Gilgamesh, and Kiritsigu Emiya, finally met under the golden Holy Grail.

"Put down your sword and become my wife under this golden Holy Grail!"

Under the golden Holy Grail, Gilgamesh proposed to Arturia.

"I refuse!!"

Facing this detestable tyrant, Arturia protested in her own language.

Unfortunately, she knew she couldn't defeat him alone with her movements restricted by the Noble Phantasms.

So, Saber pinned all her hopes on Kiritsugu, who arrived just in time, hoping he could use the power of the remaining two Command Spells to defeat Archer and obtain the Holy Grail.

Although their relationship was extremely strained, Kiritsugu and Saber's interests were aligned in pursuing the Holy Grail.

However, Kiritsugu, who had already grasped the true nature of the Holy Grail, could not continue to pursue it. He used his last two Command Spells to order Saber to destroy the Holy Grail.

"Kiritsugu——!"

Feeling betrayed, Saber let out a desperate roar as Excalibur was used to destroy the vessel of the Holy Grail, and she left the world with a heart full of regret.

Thus, the Fourth Holy Grail War came to an end, but the effects caused by the Holy Grail continued.

Saber destroyed the vessel, but its contents spilled onto the earth.

The center of Fuyuki City was completely slaughtered, and the land was forever draped in desolation and burning colors as the curse of evil turned into flames, killing almost everyone in the area.

What happened afterwards, viewers who have seen Fate/stay night already know.

Kiritsugu Emiya and Gilgamesh survived under the influence of the black mud. Kiritsugu saved the barely alive Shirou from the ruins, and the story surrounding them will unfold ten years later.

Of course, there are also things that viewers may not know, such as the darkness of the Matou family.

Shinji left a little dignity for his uncle, letting him be drained of his Od by Lancelot and then burned to death by the fire caused by the Holy Grail.

After Kariya's death, Zouken Matou took Sakura to the underground basement full of Crest Worms.

"Since that stupid son couldn't bring me the Holy Grail, I'll have to make do with you, Sakura."

With Zouken's laughter like a broken bellows, the scene gradually faded into darkness.

This night saw many things happen, and countless lives were changed because of it, but these are stories for another time.

As the Holy Grail War came to an end, so did the movie.

The next morning, Waver had breakfast with his host family, while the television beside them reported on the terrifying fire from the night before.

Having grown up, Waver expressed his desire to take a break from school and travel, gaining the support of his "grandparents."

After breakfast, Waver returned to his room and looked at the gaming equipment left by his ruler. He began following the instructions to connect the game console to the television.
