I think he set it to go off at a point in time that the magical backlash would destroy the grail system entirely, so there was absolutely no chance of it happening again.

I guess he just really overestimated the amount of power the grail used up making the fire?

He set off the explosives already, but the changes to the ley lines are gradual. They'll eventually trigger a localized earthquake that would have destroyed the greater Grail before the next War, had it occurred after the normal 60-year interval.

(Whether that earthquake is a minor tremor or a major disaster is not made clear...given Kiritsugu's history, though, my headcanon has always had it as the latter.)

Rin is ignorant of computer mostly because she is poor, or rather she just uses her money to buy Jewels for her magecraft. She uses computers in school, but she never had the spare money to buy a personal PC (or other expensive electronics) for her own use.

As for Shirou, wasn't it mentioned that he repaired a computer for Taiga in Fate somewhere?
Is that actually states somewhere? As while I know that Rin's family fortune is not what it was when her parents were alive during the 4th, that does not really make her poor.

Well, the question's mutual, I guess. No 5th grail war wouldn't make for a very interesting story at all (outside maybe of Gilgs spazzing out at not being able to see Saber again)

Q: How does Tohsaka Rin pay for her living expenses when she is performing sorcery using such valuable jewels? Is she eating up her parents’ inheritance? Has she taken up a part-time job like Shirou? Or has she turned her hand to some other trade?
A: The Tohsaka family seems wealthy, and that’s because it receives royalties from magical patents (theories and rituals used at the Clock Tower. Like real-life patents), so their income is quite high. Even without doing anything, annual income is a solid #0,000,000 yen. ...Although, Rin feels a bit ashamed of this since it’s all thanks to the work of previous generations.
So like it's been stated, not quite poor, just lots and lots of costs.

I wouldn't be surprised if Kirei had squandered her inheritance back when she was too young to do anything about it. Because he's a dick like that.

Mistranslation. Has to be. IIRC a Reality Marble is taking a person/being's inner reality and forcing it onto the surroundings. What Kiritsugu has is purely internal.

But doesn't that one dead apostle have an internal reality marble? The one who's name is made of random letters.

I can't quite recall which one your talking about.

Yeah that's why it's confusing, why the translator got confused.

Reality Marble = "Innate Bounded Field" = drawing a line around you and changing what's inside that line into "your world" rather than "the world". Because it comes from inside you, you naturally carry it around everywhere you go.

Kerry's magic = internal bounded field = using the Crest to create a Bounded Field around himself to activate the Crest magecraft of the Emiya clan, which is altering the flow of time.

So they're both "a bounded field you draw relative to yourself rather than drawn on the ground"; but Kerry's thing is just using his Crest Spell on himself, whereas a Reality Marble is like materializing your ego.

Yep. Nasu said in one of the question and answer sessions that he did precisely that, although it was "mismanagement" of the properties etc. rather than actually spending it. There's still some left, but she's a lot less wealthy than her father was.

So Zelretch is a vampire, right?

How much blood does he suck? Nero and Wallachia had to devour people by the bus load to sustain themselves. Is Zelretch also in that league or does he need less because his vampiric nature is presumably less extreme?
 
Question:
On the history behind the Edelfelts and Tohsakas during the 3rd Holy Grail War, is it implied that the one of the Edelfelt lost and got her crest stolen by the Tohsaka master or that she ended up marrying into the Tohsakah family?
Wiki is a little unclear on that one or is it one of those things that's simply up for speculation?

I don't recall where exactly it was implied/stated (probably Hollow Ataraxia if anywhere) but yeah, it's implied that one of the Edefelt sisters eloped with Tohsaka. Hence, why Rin has blue eyes, the Gandr, and the same Jewel storage magic as the Edefelt family.

The Tsukihime 2 prologue says Louvre lived for 500 years on 5000 people - so one a month or so would seem to be the 'norm' among the less wacky vampires.

That's assuming he's an example of the 'average' apostle feeding level, of course.
 
Does anyone have any idea what would happen if Kiritsugu shot either Medea as a Servant or Medea in life with one of his Origin Bullets? Seeing as I don't believe she uses her circuits for her Magecraft.

If Heracles/Berserker is killed by an specific thing (like a sword), does he gain complete/absolute invincibility against that particular thing for the rest of his remaining lives or can he still be harmed by the particular thing but not actually die from it or the wounds caused by the particular thing?
 
Zelretch will likely cheat by draining blood from someone across multiple worlds allowing him to safely drain enough blood to maintain himself without killing anyone.

My understanding was that the more monstrous/close to their RM a Vampire became, the more Gaia/Alaya (not sure which) try to erase their existence, to the point that just walking around cost them more Prana that they can generate naturally (kinda like Saber's problem with Shirou). So to survive, Vampire need to drain the prana rich bodily fluids of the living (blood or the other, whiter fluid that Saber was more fond of).

So, relating to Zelretch : the old fossil has the Kaleidoscope to provide him with virtually unlimited Prana, so I'm pretty sure he actually doesn't need to drink blood.

Hey I was wondering and sorry if this question is on the wrong thread, but is there much diffrence in the quality of Fate stay night dvd and blu ray.
 
If the 5th war had continued, would Shirou eventually have dreamed of the 4th war through Saber's eyes?
 
Probably. I mean, he'd probably have seen a bunch more of her accomplishments and battles from her life before but, if the War dragged out long enough, like say, 6 months or so.
