Ep 2. Chakravartin
- July 29, 2018
As the second episode of the first season, "Chakravartin" continues the story begun in the premiere episode of Fate/EXTRA Last Encore / Illustrias Geocentric Theory. The episode opens with the protagonist, Hakuno Kishinami, and their Servant, Saber, still trying to navigate their way through the labyrinth world of SE.RA.PH. They encounter a series of obstacles, including traps, monsters, and other opponents, as they try to reach the floor where the Holy Grail is located.
Along the way, they meet another Master, Rin Tohsaka, and her Servant, Archer. Rin is initially hostile towards Hakuno, but eventually agrees to team up with them in order to reach the Grail faster. However, their alliance is short-lived, as Archer betrays them and attempts to kill Saber in order to claim the Grail for himself. A battle ensues, and Hakuno and Saber are forced to flee.
As they continue their journey, Hakuno and Saber encounter a mysterious and powerful Servant known as Rider. Rider has a unique ability to manipulate time and space, which makes her a formidable opponent. She challenges Saber to a one-on-one battle, and the two engage in a fierce contest that tests both their skills and their resolve. Meanwhile, Hakuno is forced to confront some dark truths about their past and their relationship with the world of SE.RA.PH.
Ultimately, the episode ends on a cliffhanger, as Hakuno, Saber, and Rider are confronted by a powerful entity known as Chakravartin. Chakravartin claims to be the ruler of SE.RA.PH, and demands that the three of them bow down before him. It remains to be seen how they will respond to this new threat, and what other challenges they will face in the episodes to come.
Overall, "Chakravartin" is a tense and action-packed episode that builds on the mythology and character development established in the first episode. It introduces new enemies and allies, and adds layers of complexity to the central conflict between the Masters and their Servants. Fans of the Fate/EXTRA universe are sure to be intrigued by the twists and turns of the plot, and eager to see what happens next.
