Despite the futility of surviving any longer, Cosmo knows that he still has a mission to do: defeat the enemy. Having experienced the slow death of his friends and comrades one by one, an enraged, bitter and broken Cosmo, during the final moments of the anime/movie, took the Ideon on a reckless do-or-die mission, with little or no hope of survival for the rest of the Solo Ship crew. Mika's fate remains unknown, presumably adopted by someone.įIND MORE GUNGRAVE GAMES AND ANIME BLU-RAYS ON AMAZONĪrcher's fate was noble, Brandon and Harry's fate were tragic Cosmo Yuki's fate on the other hand, was epic.Both Brandon and Harry shoots each other, ending their misery and the show altogether.In the final seconds of their lives, Harry apologizes to Brandon.Now why won't more animes do an ending so manly, tragic ala Scarface and beautiful at the same time? After the credits rolled, a glimpse of their early childhood and how they first met were shown, as if everything went back and restarted from the beginning. As they pulled the trigger, everything fades to white. Favouring to die by their own bullet, Brandon and Harry, both seriously injured and on the verge of death, reconciled and pointed their guns at each other. As more and better equipped reinforcements poured in, it became clear to them that it's futile to survive any longer, for this will be their last stand and last chance to see each other alive. And what would be more ironic than for these men to meet up again in what used to be Jolice's diner, their former hangout where everything began many years ago?Īs both middle-aged men ponder their past on what they've done which led them to where they were today, gunmen from Millenion, Harry's former organization swarmed the building, forcing them to cut their chatter short and fend themselves from the assault. After 13 years of bitter separation, Brandon Heat and Harry MacDowel finally met face to face in Episode 26, reunited as best friends and worst enemies. Shirou remembered Archer's final words and learnt Tracing, a powerful support skill which he utilized for Episode 16 onwards.įIND MORE FATE STAY NIGHT BLU-RAYS AND FIGURES ON AMAZONĭying in a hopelessly outnumbered gunfight with your best buddy: a particular scenario of death that would make me shed manly tears.Rin, Shirou and Saber escaped unharmed.Berserker was 'slayed' five times (six times in the game).He against all odds, withstood pain, and his hands may never hold anything, yet as we pray, Archer shall forever be remembered for his dedication as a Servant, his exclusive ability to act independently, and, unforgettably, UNLIMITED BLADE WORKS.

Into the gates of Hell: so badass it needs to be in a separate picture. As predicted, Archer lost the battle against Berserker, but in the aftermath of his death, he left behind tremendous damage upon Berserker and tarnishing Ilya's pride in her Servant. Knowing well that his demise is nigh, Archer made Berserker's life more miserable by unleashing Unlimited Blade Works, a Noble Phantasm that temporarily creates a Reality Marble, a self-generated alternate reality which reflects the user's physical representation of his soul, where every single weapon can be forged out of thin air and limited only to the user's imagination. Though Archer's role in the anime version of Fate Stay Night is extremely downplayed no thanks to the anime's preference to the default Fate story arc, he still nonetheless made quite an impact in Episode 14, making the latter more or less a 'special episode' focusing on nothing more but Archer's true capabilities in battle. For a character who coined and popularized the term ' gar', Archer holds true to that meaning to his very end during his fight against Berserker. One does not simply talk about manly deaths without putting Archer's noble sacrifice in the list.
