The opening scene of the second volume of Heaven's Feel is destined to be one of the most unforgettable moments in film history.
A nearly transparent white school shirt, a beautifully curved body, and, to top it off, a pair of voluptuous and alluring "fruits."
In a continuous shot lasting more than ten seconds, this woman demonstrated to the audience, especially the male viewers, what it means to be alluring, sensual, and seductive.
Even though this sultry woman wasn't any of the familiar female characters from the Fate series, at that moment, who cared about familiarity? The visuals alone were enough.
For thirty seconds, this woman, dressed in a thin shirt, sat with her knees drawn up on the teacher's desk, facing Shirou Emiya.
It was a vibrant shot lasting a full thirty seconds. Unfortunately, for most of the male audience, thirty seconds wasn't nearly enough—they'd probably prefer it to last three or four times longer.
What made it worse for the male viewers was that, despite the fact that the woman and Shirou had hugged and touched, they never took things to the next level. Not even a kiss. Just when their lips were about to touch, the woman's eyes turned blood-red, and her mouth aimed for a different target.
"Luckily, she only bit his neck. If she'd drained all of Shirou's blood, this would've turned into a horror film," Shibamatsu muttered to himself as he curled up in his seat.
He wasn't the only one sitting in an awkward position; most of the guys in the room had adopted similar strange postures.
At the very least, many of them had crossed their legs.
In hindsight, the guys regretted not watching this scene separately from the girls.
If they had, they could've paused the screen to fully appreciate the seductive woman causing their throats to feel parched.
This unforgettable opening scene of the second volume of Heaven's Feel was, of course, depicting Shirou's spring dream.
To achieve this sultry effect, they needed a stunning woman with an impressive figure, and Shinji had put a lot of effort into finding just that.
Originally, the leading roles of this dream sequence were supposed to be Rin and Sakura. However, both young ladies were far too embarrassed and outright refused to shoot this scene. Unable to win them over, Shinji had no choice but to rewrite the dream, replacing Rin and Sakura with an entirely unrelated actress.
The official explanation was that this mysterious woman represented Shirou Emiya's most primal physical desires. To make this explanation more convincing, Shinji had spent a long time choosing the right actress. After all, with three beautiful girls around him (Saber, Rin, and Sakura) and already having a strong affection for one of them, if Shirou was still fantasizing about someone else, that woman had to be incredibly persuasive.
Finding a beautiful actress wasn't hard. Finding one with a great figure wasn't difficult either. But finding one who was both beautiful, well-built, and willing to shed her clothes? Now that was a challenge.
Shinji racked his brain selecting this actress, nearly resorting to the extreme measure of making Yan Qing, the famed Assassin, disguise himself as a woman for Shirou to manhandle on screen. Fortunately, Yan Qing refused, declaring, "Master, unless you use two Command Spells, I'll never do it."
After calculating the value of two Command Spells for one fanservice scene, Shinji reluctantly gave up.
Of course, this was also because he finally found a suitable actress among those willing to undress.
Otherwise, poor Yan Qing might have had to make a noble sacrifice.
As for the other candidate, Enkidu, Shinji didn't even consider it.
Bullying Yan Qing, a lone assassin, and messing with the formidable pair of Enkidu and Gilgamesh were two entirely different things.
The actress Shinji eventually discovered may have been slightly less stunning than the three main heroines of Fate, but she was undoubtedly beautiful. More importantly, her figure was phenomenal.
How to describe her hourglass figure? Well, she could easily give Raikou a run for her money.
Compared to Rin's petite figure, which would likely leave a baby undernourished, the difference was like night and day.
However, despite revising the script, Shinji didn't let his childhood friend or beloved little sister off the hook. In the last few seconds of the spring dream, Shinji still had Rin and Sakura make brief appearances.
According to Shinji, even though the mysterious woman awakened Shirou's physical desires, he ultimately faced his true emotions, causing the woman's face in the dream to morph into Rin, his ideal, before finally changing to Sakura, the one he loved.
Because this part of the dream only involved their faces and didn't show anything below the neck, both Rin and Sakura reluctantly agreed to participate. However, despite their consent, they were far from pleased with Shinji's decision.
"Is your brain really filled with nothing but this stuff? Shinji, you should just go die!" Rin complained.
Don't think Rin didn't catch on to Shinji's subtle insinuations. Matters of physical intimacy were a core part of a magus's education, after all.
Shinji had mentally prepared himself to be on the receiving end of Rin's Eight Extremities Fist. After all, he'd been her punching bag before. He knew to reinforce his body with magic just before impact, ensuring he wouldn't even bruise.
After all, getting what you want always comes with a price these days. Even magical girls don't get power without making sacrifices.
To Shinji's surprise, Rin's fist never landed. He'd narrowly dodged that bullet.
Now, however, Shinji finally understood why she had spared him.
"I was so naive. So foolish," Shinji muttered as he knelt on the floor of his home, a pile of brick-thick books resting on his legs.
"If I had known this would happen, I never would've watched that DVD at home. Was this all part of your plan, Rin Tohsaka?"
Sakura, who was sitting on the sofa, glared and coldly said, "Onii-sama, what nonsense are you talking about?"
"Nothing at all!" Shinji quickly replied.
With her eyes still on the TV, Sakura sneered, "It's always Tohsaka-senpai, huh? Even though I'm the female lead now, I still have no presence. Or are you saying, Onii-sama, you actually think Tohsaka-senpai is better?"
Without thinking, Shinji retorted, "Better my foot! Besides her legs, she's got nothing compared to you, all nice and plump."
Sakura's expression instantly darkened. "Emiya-senpai, aren't you going to work harder?!"
"Yes, ma'am," Shirou immediately responded, showing his strong survival instincts. He obediently stacked more books on top of Shinji's knees.
"Sorry, Shinji," Shirou apologized as he piled on more books, leaving Shinji rolling his eyes.
If you're really sorry, then don't take out the heaviest books in my house! Shinji thought to himself.
But he knew deep down this was his own fault. If Sakura hadn't suddenly started acting so gentle over the past few days, he wouldn't have fallen into this obvious trap.
Thinking back, Sakura had been softening him up with kindness for a whole week, just to punish him today.
The realization of her premeditated vengeance sent chills down his spine.
Compared to his own miserable situation, Shirou had it much easier.
All he had to do was stack books, while in the film, he got to rub shoulders—literally—with that beautiful actress.
"Tsk, I'm jealous," Shinji grumbled, glaring at Shirou.
Shirou shot back, "I'm jealous of you! I don't have your luck with the ladies."
Shinji ground his teeth, snapping, "What good is luck when Sakura's always watching, so I can't do anything? If it weren't for her, I would've already fathered a few Mordreds with Arturia by now."
"..."
Arturia, silent, glanced down at the Excalibur in her hands, wrapped in the protective sheath of Invisible Air, without a word.
By now, Shinji had forgotten everyone else in the room and continued his bravado. "Honestly, if Sakura wasn't always watching, it'd be so easy to get close to the Servants. Someone like Medusa, with her Doberman-like loyal personality, just needs a little affection."
Even though Shinji's comment was technically based on Fate's original character design, the way he said it made it sound completely inappropriate, drawing the ire of Medusa herself.
"..."
A vein seemed to throb on Medusa's forehead as she tightly gripped the chain of her weapon.
"Ahem, I'm out of books. I'll go get more," Shirou, usually a bit dull, suddenly displayed excellent survival instincts, quickly fleeing the room under the intense gazes of three very displeased women.
Shinji, realizing he'd run his mouth too much, also wanted to escape. But with the heavy books pinning his knees, he was forced to stay put, helpless.
"Onii-sama, do you have any last words?" Sakura asked sweetly, gently stroking Shinji's hair, her smile radiant.
"... Please be gentle. I'm afraid of pain."
"I'll fulfill your request, Master," Arturia said calmly, raising her hands.
◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆ Blood-curdling scenes omitted here ◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆
While Shinji was suffering a not-so-joyful fate, the first batch of viewers watching the second Heaven's Feel episode were still savoring the finished opening scene.
At that moment, the male viewers in the magus club were feeling conflicted. On one hand, they wanted more of these kinds of fanservice scenes. On the other hand, they also hoped for fewer, to avoid the disapproving looks from the girls around them.
Regardless, the second episode's opening had whetted their appetites, leaving them eager for the rest of the plot.
Little did they know, however, that this opening scene was the most provocative moment of the entire episode.
There would indeed be more daring scenes later, but they were tied to the horrifying body-possession antics of Zouken Matou. Those scenes would raise the viewers' adrenaline, not their hormones.
If anyone could actually use that part of the film to "update their XP system," Shinji would personally give them a thumbs-up—and then dial 110 (the police).
