im practically twitching in frustration here. how is it that every adaptation of this scene is capable of making it clear that this was the night kiritsugu died EXCEPT the ufotable animes? just add this narration and we are golden!? 

this scene (from the new hf manga chapter) is beautifully done and it just makes me frustrated that again, most people will only see the anime’s, who had two chances to animate this scene and failed to make its importance clear both times. I remember when ubw was reaching the climax of its second season and we had people still saying stuff like “i wonder if they will show us how kiritsugu died” because the show had been that ineffective in conveying this!

at this point the hf trilogy is kind of our last hope that ufotable will do this scene properly. and if they finally do it right, boy will it be something of a dark irony that only the darkest route where shirou breaks this promise to kiritsugu is also the only route where the scene acknowledges that kiritsugu died that night.
