(Nitsuj): Hello and welcome to Project Nitsuj. Welcome to the second installment of the Summer of Fate. When getting into a new series it’s always best to start at the beginning, so you don’t feel lost. That’s why this week we’re going back to the beginning with Fate/Zero.
(Neo): Based off a light novel series under the same name. Fate/Zero is the prequel to the Fate series taking place 10 years in the past and showing us exactly what happened during the 4th Holy War. The novels were written by Gen Urobuchi who also wrote the Magical Madoka anime.
(Yume): After the mediocre first anime of Fate was done and the popularity of the series grew, fans were hoping for a new anime that would be a better representation of the novel and while Type-Moon were open to doing another anime they wanted to make sure it would be done right. If they were going to make another anime and it would to be placed in the right hands. So, they reached out to ufotable who around this time were developing a good reputation.
(Nitsuj): You see the one thing that made ufotable stand out was the fact that all of their animation was done in-house. Basically, the studio did the production and animation for an anime from beginning to end. This was a huge deal. Most studios would outsource some of their animation to other studios in and out of the country to save time and money. A good idea, but the problem is there would be times when the animation didn’t match up with what they currently had and as a result there would be a dip in quality. With ufotable doing all of their animation in-house, it was guaranteed that you were going to have consistency from beginning to end and people loved that. Anyway, Type-Moon decided to test out ufotable by asking them to produce Fate/Zero and if the anime did well they would reach out to them again to do the main series.
(Neo): Which as we saw last week came to pass. Fate/Zero came out in the fall of 2011 and only amped up fan support for the series. Let’s see how the past shaped the future. This is Fate/Zero.
Opening and Ending Theme
(Neo): The first opening is “oath sign” by LiSA. At first, I wasn’t a big fan of this song because I felt it started off too softly and picked up too late in the song, but after a few times listening to it I really started to enjoy this opening. So much so that when the second one came around I was sad to see this one go.
(Nitsuj): The ending for the first half is “Memories” by Eir Aoi. I enjoyed this ending. It has this grand epic feel to it and the animation showing all the servants in some of their most iconic moments makes it feel like you’re listening to this grand story of their exploits. Some good, some bad, but in the end they’re all interesting and stick with you.
Episodes 1-4
(Yume): So the anime starts in Germany (don’t worry it’s long past WWII. You’re free to cheer them on in futbol) where we see Kiritsugu the adoptive father of Shirou voiced by “God I wish he was my daddy” Rikiya Koyama (Shinigami from Soul Eater). He’s at the castle of the Einzbern family (Nitsuj: I thought the Einzberns were Russians. (Neo): Looks can be deceiving) where his wife Irisviel has just given birth to Illya (she has her mother’s snow white hair). Sadly, Kiritsugu can’t be happy as he knows the future of what’s in store for her and knows that he will kill Irisviel as she is the vessel for the Holy Grail. Despite this, Irisviel tells Kiritsugu that he’s a good man and the Holy Grail will help him fulfill their ideals for a better world. After this, we get to meet a few of the participants in the war. First up is Kirei who if you can believe it had no connection to magic at all before the war which is very unusual. Along with him we have Tokiomi, the father of Rin who will teach magecraft to Kirei and back him up in the war so that he can win and secure the Holy Grail for the church. You see the church believes that the Grail that they’ll be fighting for in the war isn’t the one that belonged to Jesus (Nitsuj: Obviously, it goes against the very principle of what the Grail stands for). However, it’s too powerful to ignore and they want to get it before it falls into the wrong hands. We also find out that Kirei had a wife who died not too long ago and his dad arranged this all in the hopes of helping him get over it (oh sure, sending your son into a war with mages and historical figures sounds like the perfect distraction from his dead wife). We then meet Kariya a member of the Matou family who is the childhood friend of Aoi who is the wife of Tokiomi (Neo: Well at least they avoided this childhood crush cliché). He gets the shock of his life when he finds out Aoi’s second daughter, Sakura, was adopted into the Matou family (Nitsuj: Wait what? (Neo): Oh yeah, Rin and Sakura are sisters. Surprised nobody caught onto that. (Nitsuj): How could we!? They look nothing alike). You see the Matous have been losing their ability to use magic over the years, so they figured why not adopt a mage’s child into their family to keep the family name alive (https://youtu.be/yhugRD_XngM). Kariya confronts his dad where he finds out that he threw Sakura in a room of bugs who continuously eat away at her (Nitsuj: Wow, even for me that’s grossed and fucked up). Enraged by this, Kariya strikes a deal with his dad to implant himself with parasitic worms, participate in the war, and win. In exchange, Sakura will be freed and returned to her real family. We then meet Kayneth El-Melloi Archibald a talented mage who comes from a noble family and the favorite to win the war. He’s a teacher of the Mage Association who gets done humiliating one of his students in class (Neo: Good ethics there) and a future participant in the war, Waver Velvet (I always did find this name slick). Waver theorizes that anyone can be a great mage through hard work and practice, rather than by virtue of their bloodline alone which Kayneth disagrees with completely. Wanting to prove his teacher wrong, Waver steals the artifact Kayneth was going to use to summon his servant, and decides he’ll participate in the war himself and win to prove Kayneth wrong. We start seeing the masters summon their servants or have already summoned them. Kirei has the Assassin servant (and no, it’s not Sakai, they’re entirely different people this time around), Hassan-i Sabbah, founder of the Nizari Isma’ili state and its various military groups known as the Order of Assassins (Nitsuj: I wonder if he inspired Assassin’s Creed. Be cool to see him pop up in the franchise). Kariya summons a Berserker class servant, Tokiomi summons Gilgamesh, and Kiritsugu summons the iconic and beautiful Arthur aka Saber where he’s shocked to see that the Arthur from the legends is a woman (don’t go falling for her now Kiritsugu. That’s for your future son. (Nitsuj): Say what now? (Neo): We’ll get to it. Unfortunately).
At the start of episode 2 we see that Waver summoned the Rider servant, Iskander aka Alexander the Great (Nitsuj: The Alexander the Great!? The same man who almost conquered the world? (Neo): He’s a lot bigger than I expected. (Yume): They grew them big in ancient Greece) who seems like a very easy guy to get along with, but Waver has a hard time controlling him. He’s not interested in the war, he’s more curious to see how the world has changed since his time and plans to conquer it once the war is over (Nitsuj: Yeah, that sounds like something Alexander would do. Don’t show him the internet, his mind will explode). We then cut to Kiritsugu playing with Illya in the snow which surprises Saber because she thought of him as a cold man when they first met (Neo: Don’t judge a book by its cover) and even though their alliance is a little uneasy because they can’t see eye to eye, they both share the same dream of saving the world. In the second half we meet the final master, Uryuu, a serial killer who inadvertently summons the Caster servant, Gilles de Rais (Nitsuj: Now this guy I have heard of. He was a companion of Jeanne d’Arc. Many historians say that he was deeply in love with her. He was also believed to have dabbled in the occult and was sentenced to death for a series of child murders that numbered in the hundreds. (Neo): Holy cow! What could have caused him to do such heinous acts? (Nitsuj): Many historians have debated whether or not he really committed these crimes. Some say he was involved in a conspiracy set up by his government in order to gain his power. Others say he was deeply in love with Jeanne and committed these crimes in order to go to Hell and be with her). Uryuu offers a captured child to Caster, where at first it seems like he’s going to let the boy go only to turn around and kill the child with a horrifying monster (Yume: Starting to doubt the conspiracy theory). Uryuu is overjoyed to meet someone as messed up and sadistic as him and swears his loyalty to Caster (Neo: As disturbing as these two may be, they honestly have the best chemistry of the bunch). After finding out that a 7th master has been chosen, Kirei orders Assassin to kill Tokiomi (Nitsuj: Traitor. (Yume): All’s fair in love and war). Assassin makes it to Tokiomi’s mansion where he’s promptly killed by Gilgamesh (Neo: How could he not see this coming?).
(Nitsuj): In episode 3 Kirei announces his resignation from the war for everyone to know (and he gave Shinji a hard time for losing in such pathetic fashion). He gets granted asylum by his dad, Risei, who is the overseer of the war and we discover that Kirei resigning is all a ruse. Assassin is still alive because he’s not one person, but instead several dozen people and now that everyone believes Kirei is out of the game, he can send his Assassin servants to spy on the other masters and help Tokiomi crush them (Neo: This is the value of the numbers game). Rider takes Assassin’s defeat with a grain of salt and only seems interested in conquering America and stealing our jets (I’d vote for him). Meanwhile, Irisviel and Saber (looking good in that black suit I might add) arrive in the city where the war will take place in. Kiritsugu arrived earlier in order to meet up with his assistant, Maiya, who has smuggled guns into the country and informs Kiritsugu that the other masters believe Irisviel is Saber’s master. Since this is Irisviel’s first time abroad, she decides to tour the city with Saber acting as her bodyguard. While at the beach at night, they sense the presence of a servant inviting them to do battle and they accept. They go to the harbor where we see the servant is Lancer, Diarmuid Ua Duibhne (this guy is from Irish mythology, I guess the Lancer class has a strong bond to Ireland. He’s a demigod who killed 3,400 warriors single-handedly in battle. He’s the son of Donn and one of the Fianna in the Fenian Cycle), and his master is Kayneth.
Episode 4 gives us the fight between Saber and Lancer where they both compliment each other for their skills. As the two fight, we see Kiritsugu and Maiya survey the situation looking for Lancer’s master so that they can snipe him (Yume: He’s a mage, he won’t expect a bullet coming). As they search for Kayneth, Kiritsugu sees Assassin watching over the battle, but doesn’t take action against it just yet. Kayneth orders Lancer to use his noble phantasms which are two spears that each have a different power. Gae Dearg cancels any magic and Gae Buidhe inflicts wounds that cannot be healed (Neo: One hurts you spiritually while other hurts you physically. A good way to break a warrior’s spirit). Saber gets hit by Gae Buidhe injuring her left arm tendon and her identity gets discovered when Gae Dearg exposes her sword temporarily. Despite the injury Saber is still ready to fight, but before the two can continue, Rider shows up announcing who he is and everything (bow down to the king).
Episodes 5-8
So at the start of episode 5 Rider asks Saber and Lancer to join his side and conquer the world. They of course say no and once Kayneth sees Waver is the master of Rider he comes out of hiding to mock him, but Rider stands up for the boy saying he would never be the servant of a master who hides in the shadows (he really is a cool guy). Rider can sense other servants in the area and calls them all out where we see Gilgamesh was watching the fight and doesn’t take too kindly to Rider and Saber calling themselves kings. We also get Kariya’s servant, Berserker a creature who nobody can identify (less talk, more fighting. (Neo): Also, that CGI on it is very good). Gilgamesh fights against Berserker where the madman is able to block and counter all of Gilgamesh’s attacks which pisses him off and he decides to unleash the full fury of his noble phantasm. Tokiomi realizing how stubborn Gilgamesh is being and exposing himself to everyone uses his command seal and orders Gilgamesh to retreat (Yume: He will pay for this later. You don’t control a king). Berserker then attacks Saber where Rider figures out that whatever Berserker touches becomes his noble phantasm (Neo: And people say Gilgamesh is broken). Saber is able to defend herself, but with her tendon injured she struggles. As if that wasn’t bad enough, Kayneth uses his command seal and orders Lancer to help Berserker defeat Saber (that’s underhanded, but smart. Your opponent is weak now is the perfect chance to take them down and eliminate some of the competition). This forces Kiritsugu to take action and move into position to take out Kayneth in order to save Saber, but before he can take the shot, Rider interferes and runs over Berserker with his chariot. This forces Berserker to retreat and Kayneth also retreats with Lancer following behind him. Despite surviving Saber is still weak and if she wants to remove the curse placed on her she’ll have to defeat Lancer. We also see that Caster was watching the battle via crystal ball (Yume: The wonders of magic) where he mistakes Saber for Jeanne d’Arc (or Joan of Arc depending on which history books you read) and vows to make her his.
Episode 6 opens up with Irisviel and Saber driving on the mountainside (where Irisviel clearly learned how to drive by watching Initial D). As they drive, they get stopped by Caster who calls Saber Jeanne, but says he’s mistaken. Caster believing that Saber is suffering from amnesia retreats for the time being and vows to revive her memories so that they can be together. On the other side of town, we see Kayneth upset with Lancer for not killing Saber when he had the chance. We get to meet Kayneth’s hot fiancée (Yume: That would be the first thing you noticed. (Nitsuj): I’m a man of culture), Sola-Ui. We find out that Sola-Ui is the one supplying mana to Lancer and seems to have a crush on him because of the beauty mark underneath his eye (Neo: And Kayneth can’t do nothing about it. (Nitsuj): That’s some NTR shit right there). Kiritsugu and Maiya attack the hotel with explosives hoping to kill Kayneth and Lancer (did it succeed? I doubt it, but it was a cool scene). Maiya gets found by Kirei where she manages to escape him using a smoke bomb. Later on, Risei finds out about Caster and Uryuu kidnapping and killing children and is both disgusted and worried that their acts will expose the war to the world. Risei decides to use his authority and mobilize the other masters and servants to find Caster and eliminate him and Uryuu. Gilgamesh goes to meet Kirei in secret where we see he’s unsatisfied with Tokiomi considering him a boring man but seems to find Kirei interesting and wants to know what he desires. Kirei has no answer, so Gilgamesh convinces him to spy on the other masters and find out what drives them in order to discover his own desires and what he seeks out of this war (Neo: And so it begins).
In episode 7 the war is put on hold to deal with Caster and Uryuu. Whoever kills them will be rewarded an additional command seal (oh that’s not worth it. (Yume): Yeah, how about a phoenix down or an extra servant in case your first servant dies? I mean, you got the Assassin over here who’s like a whole mini army spying on people like the world’s governments, the least you can do is give everyone an extra incentive to go after these two murderers). Kiritsugu decides to use this distraction to attack the other masters, but Saber says they should turn their attention to stopping Caster. Even though Kiritsugu knows that Caster will come to them, he refuses to put Saber in harm’s way as he knows that Kayneth is still alive (Neo: I’m sure he’s looking for revenge. (Yume): That and do you really think the other masters aren’t thinking of doing the same thing Kiritsugu is thinking?) and he doesn’t fully trust the church as he knows Kirei is after him now. Kiritsugu goes off to sulk about the whole mess he’s in and how he’s putting everyone he loves and cares about in danger where Irisviel comforts him. As Irisviel comforts him she senses Caster in the forest surrounding their manor and he’s got kids as hostages where he threatens to kill them unless Saber reveals herself to him. Saber goes off to face him where we find out he turned the kids into Cthulhu-esque monsters (this portion of the Holy Grail War is sponsored by H.P Lovecraft). Saber fights against the legion of monsters with Lancer showing up to help out (Neo: Well we know Kayneth survived). Back at the manor, Kayneth arrives controlling a giant blob of mercury and calls out Irisviel still believing her to be Saber’s master (which honestly speaking, I kind of wish she was. I feel like it would have been more tragic if Irisviel started off as Saber’s master only for something to happen to her and transfer her command seals to Kiritsugu). Instead, Kiritsugu fights against him throughout the manor using guns and his reality marble within his body to fight him off.
(Neo): Episode 8 opens up with Maiya escorting Irisviel to safety, but she senses Kirei has arrived and is heading their way. Rather than run away, the two ladies try to defeat him themselves but are outmatched and Kirei stabs Irisviel in the stomach. Lancer manages to pierce the grimoire of Caster with Gae Dearg which cuts off his source of mana and destroys his monsters which causes him to retreat for the time being (https://youtu.be/ubr8PXl-kS8). Back at the manor, Kiritsugu continues to fight Kayneth where he’s able to wound him with an anti-magic bullet (Nitsuj: Who’s the dumb one now, bitch?). Believing this to be a mistake, Kayneth increases the defense of his mercury blob which only works in Kiritsugu’s favor because the more magic his opponents use the more effective his bullets are. Kiritsugu attacks again with his anti-magic bullet where because Kayneth used a lot of magic to protect himself, the bullet only amplifies his injury largely, so much so that it causes Kayneth to pass out in a pool of his own blood (if only Waver could see this, he would be so happy. (Yume): I know I am). Lancer senses Kayneth in danger and wanting to repay him for his help, Saber allows Lancer to go and save his master (loyal to the very end). Lancer escapes with Kayneth while Saber goes to help Irisviel where her injuries have healed up thanks to Saber. Irisviel implanted Avalon, Saber’s magical healing scabbard within herself under Kiritsugu’s orders to keep her safe from harm. As long as Saber is close to her, her wounds will heal up no matter what.
Episodes 9-13
Episode 9 goes by rather quickly. Kayneth wakes up strapped to a bed (Yume: What’s the safe word? (Nitsuj): It’s untie me loose bitch). Sola-Ui comes in and reveals to him that the magic circuits inside his body were destroyed by Kiritsugu’s bullets and he can never use magic again (again, where is Waver? I feel like he would benefit the most from this). She then offers to become Lancer’s master in his place, but he refuses knowing that she’s in love with him (Nitsuj: And this will only take him to the next level of NTR. (Neo): I’m just imagining her using her command seal to have sex with Lancer while Kayneth is forced to watch. (Nitsuj): Now you’re getting the spirit of NTR). Sola-Ui threatens to break Kayneth’s fingers one by one forcing him to concede and he hands his command seals over to her. Despite Sola-Ui becoming his master he wishes to remain loyal to Kayneth (Yume: He’s not good enough for you. (Neo): That, and he’s been down this route before and it doesn’t end well for him), but she convinces him to keep on fighting with her on behalf of Kayneth’s honor. Kiritsugu continues to focus on Kayneth despite Irisviel and Saber pleading with him to go after Caster instead (Nitsuj: Now both sides are in the right here, but I have to side with Kiritsugu more. With Saber’s left arm still injured she won’t be at full power to take down Caster, so it makes the most sense to eliminate Lancer, lift the curse, and then take down Caster. Let the other masters keep him busy and if you’re lucky they’ll take each other down. (Yume): That’s some solid thinking. I’d hate to fight against you in the war. (Nitsuj): They wouldn’t last a week). Speaking of Caster, Waver and Rider are able to discern his lair (I wouldn’t go there. You won’t like what you see) where they charge right in and are both disgusted by what they see. While they don’t find Caster they manage to find Assassins. Rider kills one of them and drives the other two off saving Waver in the process. They set the place on fire before escaping and now that they know Assassin is still in the game, Tokiomi orders Kirei to spy on them even harder.
We go on a side trip in episode 10 and focus on a young Rin (Yume: Got to give the people what they want) and how she saved her best friend from Uryuu. When the war started Tokiomi sent Aoi and Rin away for their safety. At Rin’s new school some of the students including her best friend Kotone were kidnapped by Uryuu who was using a magical bracelet to hypnotize kids and capture them. Wanting to save her best friend (Nitsuj: And hopefully everyone else), Rin went to the city alone, tracked down Uryuu to his hideout, managed to beat him, and freed the other children under his control (nice work. Now call the cops so we can have him arrested). She freed the other children and decides to head back home only to get attacked by Caster’s monsters (Yume: Can you believe this won’t be the last time she was attacked by a horde of monsters? (Nitsuj): And both of them taking place in the same city) where she’s saved by Kariya who hands her over to Aoi.
(Yume): It’s a meeting of the kings in episode 11 and honestly it’s probably the best episode in Zero. The dialogue, the characters, philosophy, it’s all on point here. The writers really brought their A game here. Rider sits down with Saber and Gilgamesh to have a drink and share their ambitions for the Grail (Nitsuj: And then they’ll go bowling). Gilgamesh wants the Grail just to say he has it and no one else does. Rider wants to use it to be reincarnated into the world so that he can truly conquer it (I for one welcome our new king. (Neo): The world did prosper under his rule). Saber wants to use the Grail to save Britain which fell under her rule arguing that a king should be selfless and serve their people. This gets a laugh out of Gilgamesh and Rider criticizes her for this statement saying that it was Saber’s emotional distance that led to the fall of Britain (Nitsuj: He makes a good point. While Arthur loved his country, he did seem to keep himself distant from his people. One could say he was trying to be strong and show Britain his unwavering strength while keeping them all safe, but it just made him come across as a soulless man who didn’t give his people much choice in the matter. (Neo): Sort of like an overprotective parent). Rider continues saying that it’s the duty of the people to serve the king and it’s the king’s duty to have great ambitions that in turn inspire the people (Nitsuj: And I agree with him. Now, Saber isn’t wrong when she says a king should serve their people. If the king doesn’t have their best interest, then why should the people follow them? However, a king must also have great ambitions that inspire the people to do better things which in turn expand the growth of the kingdom and make their lives better. It’s the one thing every leader should do whether it be a store manager, a corporate CEO, or even the president/prime minister. When a leader does everything right and expands the growth and prosperity of their nation, the people won’t be sure if their leader has done anything at all but they’ll know their leader is worth following, serving, and dying for. (Yume): Wow, that was very deep and philosophical, Nitsuj. (Nitsuj): Yeah, well, it’s all subjective. There’s no such thing as a perfect philosophy). Saber finds Rider’s philosophy the words of a tyrant, and Rider agrees with her. He is a tyrant and that’s what makes him a hero. He doesn’t regret the choices he’s made in life even if they did lead him to his death. He’s proud of them and wouldn’t change them no matter what. Saber on the other hand believes that it’s because of her rule that the kingdom and its people fell and she wants to undo all of that which Rider finds unacceptable (https://youtu.be/D3SEeJ8nt7I) and a mockery of all the people who served and died for her in battle. While Rider acknowledges that Saber saved her people she never led them. She never showed them how to live and abandoned them when they lost their way all while following her own ideals (Neo: In the end, she was no king. Just a girl serving others and not herself. She’s no better than Shirou. (Nitsuj): *Chuckles* Wow, I have never actually seen a person realize her whole life has been a lie). The conversation gets stopped when they sense the presence of Assassin who surrounds them all and intends to kill them. Rider takes them on unleashing his noble phantasm, Ionian Hetairoi, a reality marble composed of the vast number of soldiers loyal to Rider who also became servants after their deaths. Rider easily defeats Assassin (all of them this time) and takes his leave where he no longer recognizes Saber as a king. Gilgamesh takes his leave as well telling Saber not to listen to Rider and keep on suffering alone at the top as it’ll make her that more lovely (Neo: Does he get off on the suffering of others? (Nitsuj): Don’t kink shame him). With them both gone and the conversation still lingering in the air, Saber can’t help but remember Tristan who left Camelot because he was dissatisfied with her rule saying she couldn’t understand the feelings of others.
Not much really happens in episode 12 (after their phenomenal work in episode 11, I think they decided to take it easy this episode). Now that Tokiomi knows what Rider’s noble phantasm is, he decides to let Rider take down the competition and strike when the time is right (Nitsuj: Okay, I’m starting to see what Gilgamesh was talking about. He is a boring master). We see Gilgamesh continue to speak with Kirei who is now done with the war with the death of Assassin. However, Gilgamesh says he’s not finished and asks what he learned when he spied on other people. Kirei admits that he showed an unusual degree of interest in Kariya despite the minimal threat he posed. Gilgamesh concludes it’s because Kirei enjoys watching the suffering and pain of others (Neo: What is it with the men in this anime getting off from other people’s agony? (Nitsuj): No kink shaming). At first, Kirei refuses to acknowledge this dark nature, but eventually gives in and admits that Gilgamesh was right. At this point, Kirei’s command seals return meaning he’s still in the war. However, with his servant gone he’ll need a new one and in order to get a new one he needs to kill another master (Nitsuj: And I think Gilgamesh has just the master for him to kill). Back with Irisviel and Saber, they make it to the new hideout (hello, future house of Shirou. I look forward to seeing your residents get attacked on multiple occasions) where Saber notices Irisviel’s strange behavior such as not driving (Nitsuj: Thank God) and needing Saber’s help to perform magic rituals. Irisviel’s body is getting weak and breaking down due to the defects within it, but she should recover if she rests in a magic circle.
The first half of the anime ends on a big cliffhanger. Once Uryuu and Caster return to their hideout and see the destruction Rider left, Caster falls into disarray before Uryuu cheers him up with his interpretation of God being just a spectator who enjoys seeing humans do whatever they want (well at least we know how he justifies child-murdering. Sick bastard). Caster is impressed with Uryuu and prepares a great spectacle for God to see. Sometime later, Caster summons a giant demonic Cthulhu-like monster from the river that plans to destroy the city (Nitsuj: Okay, why haven’t these two been disqualified yet? They are going around killing children, exposing the war, and summoning monsters to destroy the city. If I was the judge, I would have disqualified them on the first day). Rider sensing the creature informs the other masters and servants (i.e Lancer and Saber. (Nitsuj): What about the others? (Neo): Well Gilgamesh will just say this fight is beneath him and we have no idea where Kariya and Berserker are) who agree to a temporary truce to stop Caster and Uryuu before it’s too late and they head out to defeat Caster and Uryuu once and for all.
(Nitsuj): Can our heroes defeat these crazed child-murdering lunatics or will the city become a spectacle for their entertainment to God.?
(Neo): Tune in next week to find out, on Project Nitsuj. `
