/jp/ - Otaku Culture

HF is just the bitter truth of growing up and I think it's a pretty obvious maturity filter for the people who dislike the route.

Sakura and Shirou finally growing up and finding happiness and family in each other is kino. Both overpowered their damage. Both Shirou and Sakura carry a bunch of trauma, and gradually heal through the love they give each other. The home they built with Taiga is their haven. By the end of HF, Shirou is at his most human due to abandoning those borrowed ideals and Sakura looks forward to living.

People often dismiss HF, but I think the progression is a natural consequence of both Shirou growing as a person and Nasu getting older. The way HF ends is how Nasu would have wanted his own life to be, and much more fitting of how Shirou has grown. You should eventually get over your edgy teenager phase.

Crazy how Nasu mocks his otaku fans

HF is meant to sum what's Fate about: saying goodbye to your Servant, destroy the Grail, Grail Wars were a mistake (see: Fate/Zero). Save Sakura. HF ending and message is about letting go and moving forward.

Shirou finally letting go of all that hero complex baggage and growing up to come back to the real world with his wife; the woman who came from outside his cycle of depression to support him (Sakura) and I think it's a pretty obvious maturity filter for the people who dislike the route.
