Is this cartoonist mentally ill?

At the end, Saber was a little lost.

"You don't have to listen to what he says, Saber."

But Gilgamesh, who had not left at this time, continued to smile jokingly and mockingly, saying, "You are right, just follow the path you believe in."

"Being burdened with the 'kingly way' that transcends human limits, your pain and entanglement in struggling in pain can't be better used to comfort my boredom."

Li Xi, who originally thought he was comforting Saber, immediately became angry.

Doesn’t this arrogant Jin Shining also think that Saber’s royal way is wrong?

Even Gilgamesh's attitude is a little more extreme than that of Emperor Iskandar.

Although Emperor Iskandar said that he no longer recognized Saber as the king, he always respected Saber in his attitude.

There is a sense that I don’t think Saber is a king, but I think she is a hero.

However, Gilgamesh obviously regards Saber as an actor or a clown, so why bother to please him is really disgusting.

In the animation, Gilgamesh even continued to laugh at Saber, saying with a bit of greasiness, "Come on, 'King of Knights', depending on the situation, you may deserve more of my favor... Hahahaha!"

Then he turned into golden light and disappeared.

Saber recalled what Emperor Iskandar said to her at this time, and she was completely shaken.

Plus the revived long memory.

"I remembered..."

Saber whispered, "There was once a knight who left the words 'King Arthur does not understand people's hearts' and then left Camelot. Maybe..."

"Those are the truest words hidden deep in the hearts of all the Knights of the Round Table..."

She looked up, her eyes sad and lost.

It seemed that she was even more determined that she indeed did not have the talent or qualifications to become a king.

Just like Iskandar said.

So...she still won't give up.

That’s the end of the episode.

Li Xi is still immersed in this extremely exciting drama, where the three different kings showed different "ways of being kings".

Saber, whose real name is Artoria Pendragon, is the King of Knights in ancient Britain. The royal way she upholds is the way of the Holy King and the way of the Wise King.

Like a saint, he suppresses his desires and does everything for the sake of the country and the people.

He is even willing to devote himself to the country and people without asking for anything in return.

Noble and holy, moral and self-cultivation are above everyone else. He seems approachable, but he is so unattainable.

Iskandar the Great, the lord of the Macedonian Empire, nicknamed the King of Conquerors, and Alexander the Great, followed the path of his nickname, the King of Conquerors, full of domineering.

This is the way of overlord.

He makes no secret of his strong desires, and even thinks that this is what he should do to be a king.

The one who has the strongest greed, laughs the loudest, and is angry the most, and whoever reaches the ultimate level of human beings is the king.

However, such a king can guide and even encourage his subjects to become heroes and unruly kings like him.

It seems unattainable, but such a flesh-and-blood overlord demeanor gives people an extremely close feeling.

It gives people a feeling of... "he can take his place" and gives rise to the fire of longing that "a man should be like this".

As for the golden Gilgamesh...he didn't talk as much as the Emperor and Saber in this episode.

But judging from his words of approving the emperor and mocking Saber, and when the emperor said later that "the king is not aloof," he also denied Gilgamesh's behavior.

Although he recognized the emperor, he also believed that the king was the object for which the country and the people were dedicated, and he had an extremely arrogant attitude.

But he is not exactly the same as the Great Emperor. He is an aloof and unruly supreme king.

The three kings' different royal ways and different ways of ruling collided fiercely in this episode.

However, at present...

Now for the time being, Emperor Iskandar's overlord's ways have won.

With his unapologetic attitude, his powerful tyrant [King's Military Power] who was bound to his subjects during his lifetime, and his extremely high charisma, it can be said that the way he practices the overlord is correct. !

Li Xidu began to change her view of the Great Emperor Iskandar, who she had originally thought was just a tyrant.

"If this is the way to guide his subjects to be a king, it is no wonder that Alexander the Great in history could have such great achievements."

She thought to herself, "It's really hard not to admire such a person, and it's also hard not to be yearned for."

"but……"

She still did not give up her original idea at this time, thinking to herself, "Sometimes there is not only one right answer, and a king like Saber can never be wrong."

Because these actions of Saber reminded her of the martyrs.

The king dedicated his life to the country and the people. If this behavior was wrong, how did their republic get to where it is now?

In other words, as a king, Saber may be wrong to be so idealistic.

But as the ruler of a country, she is absolutely right, and even somewhat transcends the limitations of the times.

Perhaps she should have been born in a modern world, then Saber would have become a great pioneer.

It’s just that sometimes, you really have to sigh that time is not the same as you. The limitations of the times mean that no matter how great a person is, it is difficult to escape its limitations.

But……

"I still think Saber is right!"

Li Xi whispered.

…

But at this time, the eleventh episode of "Fate Zero" aired the plot of the three kings' discussion, and the audience all turned to the Great Emperor Iskandar.

No one will not be immersed in the overlord style of Emperor Iskandar, the values ​​​​that are closer to reality, and the blood-heating Noble Phantasm [Army of the King].

Lin Qingshan happened to introduce an allusion here that is closer to the culture of the Republic than the original work - "This is what a real man should do."

This was once said by Emperor Gaozu of the Han Empire when he saw Qin Shihuang. It is a perfect explanation of the tyranny of Emperor Iskandar.

In this episode, while the charisma of Emperor Iskandar has been fully enhanced, his popularity has also skyrocketed.

Originally, before this episode, everyone's focus was still on the Republic's own ancient heroic spirit Zhao Yun, and the "heroine" Saber. These two heroic spirits were more focused.

They didn't care much about the other heroic spirits.

At most, he was a little aggrieved by the strength of Jin Shining's precious phantom [The King's Treasure].

Why does this foreign heroic spirit, which they have never heard of, have such a powerful Noble Phantasm.

And the oldest hero king is not the real earliest king.

Many viewers feel that this precious phantom [The Treasure of the King] should belong to Qin Shihuang.

The legend of the First Emperor's extravagance and lust, as well as his status as the first emperor in history, should make him more suitable to possess this precious phantom, right?

In addition, the remaining heroic spirits are Alexander the Great, one of the Twelve Knights of the Round Table, Bluebeard from European nursery rhymes, and the "Hasan family" whom they have never heard of.

They don't care at all.

But in this episode, Iskandar, the conquering king based on Alexander the Great, really showed off his royal demeanor and it was so fascinating.

Some people have even understood why there were real "humanoid succubi" in history who were men but more attractive than women.

What Liu Bang can attract such outstanding figures as "Xiao He, Zhang Liang, Han Xin, Peng Yue and Fan Kuai" with just one sentence, what Liu Huangshu can do to make the prime minister die directly, what about "Hu Baoyi" and Song Jiang's shouting and the other party will bow to him...

This damn charisma is much better than beauty or anything like that!

At this moment, they extremely recognized the Great Emperor Iskandar.

If animated dramas also have a character popularity poll like comics, then after the eleventh episode is broadcast, you can find that the popularity of Emperor Iskandar has directly changed from average to the cliff-like number one...

Fan drama viewers even supported Emperor Iskandar in the comment section.

"This episode of The Emperor really fully demonstrates how to act as a king."

"Watch out, I have to show you the true kingly style here! The emperor's words are really cool!"

"This is what a real man should do! The emperor is right, the king does not need to make any sacrifices or contributions. The king should be the best of a country and lead his subjects forward!"

"As expected of Alexander the Great, this kind of demeanor makes me see the shadow of Liu Bang, a big man and a succubus. It's no wonder that his subjects are willing to fight for him after death."

"Perhaps Alexander the Great was like this in history. It was precisely because he ignited the fire of longing in the hearts of all his subjects called 'A man should be like this' that the Macedonian Empire split into two countries immediately after his death. In each kingdom, the subordinates proclaimed themselves kings."

"This is also a bit like Zheng Ge, 'the first emperor died and the earth was divided.' In fact, as long as the emperor is still alive, the Macedonian Empire will never be divided."

"Definitely, if Alexander the Great had lived longer, the Macedonian Empire would have become a shining pearl in European history like the Roman Empire!"

…

After praising Emperor Iskandar, many viewers began to judge the shortcomings of Saber's way of the Holy King just like the Emperor.

"Looking at Saber, the emperor is indeed right. Saber, an ideal virtuous king, is not suitable to be a king."

"Perhaps it would be best for her to become a knight and a loyal minister, but she is indeed not suitable to be a king."

"If a king is too noble, there will be no fish if the water is pure. If a ruler is too noble and restrains his desires, then the people below will naturally be forced to be noble and restrain their desires, and then they will start to be ineffective in doing things."

"This is just like the education given by my parents when I was a child. It has always been a high-pressure education, with only punishments and no rewards. It requires you to study well and you are not allowed to play. Really... no one can sustain this kind of education. "

"It's no wonder her 'son' is unconvinced. I really encountered such a father. Now that I have the strength, I will directly oppose him."

"A king is actually a role model for his subjects, but a saint who is too noble will make his subjects lose motivation and feel that they are out of reach. Only a king who has desires, advantages and disadvantages, and is flesh and blood will make his subjects get close to him. ah."

"Yeah, anyway, it's the same as the top student in the class who was strict with himself, and the top student who got along well with his classmates and would patiently give you answers when you ask for advice. The latter is definitely more popular. ”

"Saber can only say that she has no qualifications and talents to be a king. Just like the Southern Tang emperor is more suitable to be a poet, she may be the best as a minister and knight."

...

This wave of hot discussions about "Fate Zero" has even spread overseas.

After all, Alexander the Great and King Arthur are both very famous historical figures in European and American history.

Alexander the Great's status in European history can almost be compared to Qin Shihuang Zheng Ge and the Han Dynasty succubus Liu Bang in the history of the Republic.

As King Arthur said before, he was the Yellow Emperor of ancient Great Britain, and he was also very famous in European history.

When foreign animation audiences saw the plot of the three kings discussing the way of the king, they were also deeply fascinated by the hegemony of Emperor Iskandar from the beginning.

That's right! This is how a king should be!

Become the supreme existence that everyone admires and admires the most, turn yourself into the sun, bless your subjects, and guide your subjects in the direction.

Especially in Europe and the United States, they pay more attention to individualism, which is different from the collectivism and dedication that the Republic has always believed in.

They just admire individual freedom and personal heroism.

Just like what the emperor said in the anime, if you are a hero, a king, then the country and the people should sacrifice themselves for the king, not the king for the country and the people!

They shared this plot in "Fate Zero" and the thoughts of the emperor Iskandar in it on the Internet with great approval.

"Alexander the Great! He is indeed one of the greatest kings in human history. This is the true kingly demeanor!"

"Let everyone have the fire of longing in their hearts that 'I want to be a king too'! That's right, this is the hero we admire, the liberalism we admire!"

"Oh my God, I really like the character of King Iskandar the Conqueror. If Alexander the Great in history is also such a person, I now begin to understand why he is so powerful!"

"You know, brothers, I have always been an admirer of Alexander the Great. How can such a great king not make people yearn for and follow him?"

"Compared to King Arthur, Alexander the Great is really much better."

...

But Saber, as the prototype, is the holy king of ancient Great Britain, and there will definitely be people of Great Britain who will speak out.

Just like when the people of the Republic see someone belittling the ancestors of Yan and Huang on the foreign Internet, they will stand up and speak out no matter what.

Now, some netizens in Great Britain have expressed their opposition.

"No! I think that although Alexander the Great is very charming, it does not mean that King Arthur is wrong."

However...

"Arthur is just an overly ideal king. It is indeed like a matriarchal society dominated by women. Excessive suppression of desires will lead to social stagnation."

Netizens from France directly launched the "Anglo-French War" and even began to show their chauvinism.

Netizens from Great Britain also began to refute indignantly, and many rational netizens also stood up to argue?

"What did you say! King Arthur is a great king, and he is a male king in the legend. Can you please not be confused by this animation!"

"Brother, you are sexist. Although it is true that desire drives society to make great progress, it has nothing to do with matriarchal society, okay?"

"Without the stable development of a matriarchal society that can allow free trade and escape from genocide, no matter how much desire men have, it is impossible to develop rapidly."

"In fact, the relationship between productivity and desire is that the conditions of productivity must be met first before development can be promoted by desire. Both are indispensable, just like rationality and sensibility. Only rationality and only sensibility are not good things."

"OK, I was wrong, I apologize, so can you not sue me for sexism?"

...

This plot of "Fate Zero" can be said to have caused a lot of public opinion, and at the same time increased the popularity of the animation.

This is not only in China, but also many viewers abroad have begun to climb over the wall to C station every week to follow "Fate Zero".

Many foreign viewers have also begun to call for the next installment of "Fate Zero", and the next installment will use their mythological characters and historical heroes.

I can only say that... cyber-fighting historical crickets is not only popular among the people of the Republic, but also among foreigners.

Everyone wants to watch cricket fighting, especially to see their own "cricket" win a great victory.
