Im Practically Twitching In Frustration Here. How Is It That Every Adaptation Of This Scene Is Capable

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.

“Shut up, Kerry.” >:C

“no. you can’t go, it’s too dangerous.”

“it’s not dangerous. i’ll be fine.”

“i’m not going to let anything happen to you.” 

“you can’t keep me safe from everything.”

“just be careful.” 

“i’m always careful.”

“you’re going to get yourself hurt.”

“i won’t get hurt, i promise.”

“i won’t let them hurt you.”

“you can’t save me from this.”

“please try and stay out of trouble.”

“if anything happened to you…” 

“i’m not sure how to keep you safe.”

“i’m not going to let you out of my sight.”

“this is the only way to keep you safe.”

“you can’t keep an eye on me twenty four seven.”

“everywhere you go, i go.”

“it’s not your job to protect me.”

“it’s my job to protect you.”

“don’t worry, i’ve got you.”

“no one will hurt you as long as i’m breathing.”

“you don’t understand how dangerous this is.”

“please come back in one piece.”

I live for my own suffering.

This Heaven’s Feel manga is doing a great job capturing little details. So much to unpack here

First, I’m glad we actually see how Shirou used to have fire nightmares all the time as a kid and even now. That’s a bit of his trauma i don’t recall the UBW anime mentioning.

This artist draws tiny Shirou so cute i really cant handle this. look at my cute son.

I bet the Avalon induced sword dreams were a real relief to kid Shirou suffering from constant traumatic fire dreams. In a way you could say this is one more way Saber saved him :’)

One of the few moments Shirou and Taiga’s close bond is highlighted in a non comedic sense; she can tell he had a bad night and checks up on him.

A timeline! The VN may have made this clear but I’ve forgotten. Kiritsugu didn’t start going on his long trips for 2 years. He had to stay and deal with Shirou’s trauma.

“Im going on an adventure! ;D” Kiritsugu then went and left his tiny traumatized adopted son alone for 6 months at a time while nearly freezing to death in the woods of Germany, unable to use any magic, trying and failing to reach his daughter only to come home to his son and tell him cool stories about the adventures he hadn’t actually been on. You’re such a mess Kerry.

Seriously, tiny Shirou thinks he’s off doing cool! story worthy stuff!! and Kiritsugu’s just sobbing and wandering around in the woods trying to reach Illya who has been told he abandoned her for another kid and doesn’t give a damn about her this is so fucked up.
