"To unite dreams beneath a banner of conquest. I praise your efforts. But, warriors... did you not understand? That all dreams must disappear when the dreamer wakes. Every last one of them.

A worthy stage has been set for you! Look up and behold... Enuma Elish!"

"(to Kiritsugu) I shall not let you die easily. I shall use healing magic to regenerate your heart and lungs, while I rend every inch of your flesh. In pain and despair, you will die as you suffer. And while you die, you will curse them... You will curse the cowardice of those who hired you! You will curse the Einzbern's for disgracing the Holy Grail War!"

"A king without greed is even worse than a figurehead! Saber, you said you would become a martyr for your ideals. In life, you must have been a pure saint. A proud and noble figure, certainly. But who can truly admire the martyr's thorny path? Who dreams of such an ending? A king... The king must be greedier than any other. He must laugh louder and rage harder. He must exemplify the extreme of all things good and evil. That is why his retainers envy and adore him. And why the flames of aspiration to be as the king is Proud king of chivalry... The righteousness and ideals you bore may indeed have saved your nation once. However I'm certain you know what became of those who were saved but left to themselves. You saved them but you never led them. You never showed them what a king should be. You abandoned your men when they lost their way. Then alone and untroubled Thus you are no true king. You are only a little girl enraptured by a false idol of the king who serves others"
