This video, as well as a few that will be posted in the near future, employ significantly less editing than my prior reaction videos on this channel. This is being done in an attempt to gauge how effective/necessary said edits are for my videos' success. While I honestly somewhat enjoy making the edits that I do, if they are found to be largely unnecessary then discontinuing them would free up a *_substantial_* amount of time allowing me to upload noticeably more videos each week. If you have an opinion regarding the editing (whether to stick to the old way of doing things or to continue lazy editing to allow for more videos), please let me know that in the comments here! Please *DO NOT* Dislike the video as a means of trying to inform me about the editing in some way. Disliking tells me _nothing_ about what a viewer actually didn't like or what their opinion is on the video and can also have a strong detrimental effect on the way KZread views my video and the extent to which they show it to others. Thanks ^.^

I'm referring to edits like zooms, cutaways, and similar transformations which can be seen in my other videos. Most reaction channels don't post their full reactions on KZread, and like those other channels, I have a Patreon where you can see the full reactions with a timer to sync up the show alongside me if that's something you're interested in 🙂 (I will say that this reaction isn't on Patreon just yet because I do tend to prioritize the KZread versions of videos over Patreon while trying to grow; it'll probably be up in a day or two) That all being said, I'm surprised to hear that I cut "most of the moments" you were hoping to see 🤔 It's still a fairly long video after all, haha

By the way, the Gil vs Enkidu clash was actually more tame in the anime. It was crazier in the manga and novel. How crazy, you may ask? Slight spoilers, maybe... Shaking the entire planet crazy.

The old man and the giant spider that was mentioned at the end also are quite a huge presence in Nasuverse. If you're curious about them, just search up Zelretch and ORT Giant Spider. No other information about them you will ever get in any Fate anime anyway, if you want to clear up some confusion in your mind.

Doubt youll see this but fun fact. Fate earth is seperated into different realms/Layers. Gil's Ea has the power to destroyed one of these layers meanwhile Enkidu's own version of Enuma Elish puts it back together. So, when everything went white the first time Gil was destroying that layer of the plant while enkidu was fiting it.

I thought so! It's been a while since I've seen either so I wasn't 100% sure and just said that it seemed familiar, but nice to get some confirmation!

Was rewatching this video a bit, one thing I thought would be good to know: the master of assassin MIGHT be a true ancestor. I don't know for sure either because I'm a complete anime-only when it comes to strange fake, but true ancestors is a concept introduced in other works. Basically, there are vampires in this universe (and he has sharp teeth as you notice). There are also the true ancestors, which are particularly powerful. Mind you, in the timeline Fate operates them True Ancestors are very scarce afaik (reason for that goes way back to Zeldritch, the guy in the post-credit scene) but it seems like in the Strange Fake timeline there is at least one of them. Normal vampires are more like animals, and require blood to survive, that doesn't necessarily apply to True Ancestors. However, they can draw power from blood and blood also is kinda addicting to them so yeah, if it helps and tastes good, why not indulge in it. He consumed all of the mages in the episode too. Power-wise, a True Ancestor should be on the level of a servant, it depends. I got this info from Tsukihime, which is another work in the Nasuverse which hopefully gets an anime adaptation at some point. One of the main characters there is a true ancestor, but she is that strong that she is considered the 2nd strongest entity in the entire Nasuverse, if not the strongest, not exactly sure anymore, but power levels even between true ancestors are very uneven, just to give an idea.

You really should watch HF if you already watched F/Sn and UBW, it's a final missing piece of the story and of course they are pretty good movies in general. I don't think that they are renecessary for Strange Fake, but Narita is a very big fan of TypeMoon and he put a lot of references and cameos in this light novel. Some characters are pretty obscure but honeslty even if you know who they are that's not gonna help you understand what's happening here. This fake HGW is insane rollercoaster, can't wait to see the whole thing.

Yeah I know that Heaven's Feel is supposed to be like the adaptation of the 3rd and final path of the original visual novel, so it definitely makes sense for me to watch it given the other series that I've seen, like I said it's really as simple as having not gotten around to it once I realized that all 3 parts were available, haha. I think I may well end up watching them before the Fate/strange Fake TV series starts airing since this kind of reminded me that I should get back to them, but I also figured I'd take the opportunity to try and probe for interest in doing reaction videos for them here 🤭 And since you seem to be a fan of the light novels for this series, thanks for alluding to more things to come without actually spoiling anything ^.^

An interesting perspective 🤔 I honestly don't think I even considered that some people might like *less* editing _more!_ I guess if you check out any past uploads on the channel feel free to let me know what you think of the various edits I've toyed with over the last few months 🤓 Thanks for watching and subscribing ^.^

I think the lyrics of the OP sum up how this story feels for Fate fans well enough, "Based on an overestimated armchair theory, you pretend to know the story, but youre wrong" Absolutely no "normal" Master/Servant pairs here, except for maybe Ordando and Caster, that summoning probably went according to plan - but even then, Orlando is planning to use a group of humans as his fighting force, not his Servant directly Absolutely love starting off with a huge setpiece fight like that, it really builds hype around the show and animation, shows us the relationship between Gil and Enkidu, and finally lets us see how Gil fights when he is not holding back and also can tap into a full supply of mana from a very powerful Master Would love to see you watch HF!! Maybe split each movie into two videos so you can show more footage? And make sure you refresh yourself on the beginning of UBW, because since it's an alternate timeline it starts pretty similarly, and they save time by skimming over the parts that are the same. It is a really cool story you'll love it!

@RiverReacts

That's a fun point about the OP, haha. I'm sure the fight did a lot to hook most viewers, but for me I think it's more so just about how much I want to see more of the characters! I would say this special definitely delivered on what I was hoping for from a Fate series by Ryohgo Narita 😄 And seems I'm taking another tentative RSVP for a Heaven's Feel reaction! You may be right that it would be good to re-watch a little bit of UBW beforehand just to ensure I'm up to speed on the basic facts of the universe prior to experiencing a diverging timeline. Not sure if I would split the reaction video or not. While my initial instinct with KZread videos is that shorter videos generally do better, I think the success of this video shows that sometimes it's quite fine if they're a little longer 😂 Sounds like a decision for future me 🤭

I get you. If the media being reacted to is like an hour or two long then I think it makes sense to expect the reaction video to be longer, however that still makes it a longer video relative to videos that are like 10-15 minutes reacting to a regular length episode, you know. I like to think I provide a good amount of commentary while I'm watching the show, which is probably for the best since my current analytics are yelling at me about how people stop watching when the show's over 😅 Gotta play nice with the algorithm to grow a channel 😂

Enkidu is Gilgamesh's only friend (he mentioned in Zero that there was only one person who he would ever acknowledge as a "friend). So they're basically the world's first and oldest sidekick, and the two are roughly equal in power. Also Enkidu is genderless so people usually use they/them pronouns.

And unless this series manages to rival it when it comes out, its easily considered the fan favorite. I GUARANTEE youll love it.
