The seventeenth episode of "Fate/zero" was synchronously delivered on the China [BiuBiuBiu] barrage video website, and the time in the Chinese time zone was already more than 12 o'clock in the evening, and the first batch of viewers had already watched it, and it could still be seen that the number of simultaneous online viewers remained 300,000 and slowly declined. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info The plot of the animation before the seventeenth episode is very tight, Catser summons the abyss monsters and then the heroic spirits show their powers, and come to the most exciting department of the third volume of the novel, Berserker Lancelot and the hero King Galgamesh's ace air battle duel, and then in the last paragraph of the novel, Saber is ready to launch the treasure of the city that Emiya Kiritsugu said.

Many people speculate that the sword hidden inside the Wind King enchantment is the Sword in the Stone (Sword of the Chosen King, Caliburn)

・・・・・・

"A targeted nuclear strike is ready! Ready to launch! ”

"What my king's sword is pointing to, what our hearts want!"

"What my king's sword is pointing to, what our hearts want!"

"What my king's sword is pointing to, what our hearts want!"

"Confess my king! It's so handsome! ”

"After ten years of unyielding, twelve battles undefeated, this feat is unparalleled in the world, this glory is unparalleled, its bravery makes all knights yearn, they transcend time and space, immortal!"

"Laser Slash!"

"Sutra! Fee! Burn! Burn! Sword! ”

“EX！ Curry sticks! ”

"Wo Cao! Pro-daughter treatment! and his own son Zhao Yunyou. ”

"Nonsense, my own son is obviously Jin Shining."

"Foul~!"

"My king is so picturesque!"

"My king is guarded by me!"

"No one will get hurt again, the fate of magical girls... Ah, I'm sorry, I went to the wrong set."

"Longevity! The Reading Strip Ultimate. ”

“Ex――calibur！”

“Ex――calibur！”

"Chivalry never dies."

"I'm in tears, it's been a long time since I've felt such an exciting moment."

"My king, you are the noble king worthy of respect."

"Thy people, O king, are calling upon thee."

・・・・・・

There is praise.

There is a repetition of the prayer.

There are also many serious patients who think of themselves as knights who follow the knight king.

The barrage that filled the screen obscured the picture, and only through the slight cracks in the barrage could you see a little light splashing the [Sword of Oath of Victory] brilliance. As a royal party, Tang Yue, who has watched "Fate/zero" for the fifth time, is still in a mood, and the resonance caused by the picture makes her feel the meaning of each barrage. What do the hands on the keyboard want to type and say, the same as the barrage of swiping the screen? Or maybe write down your feelings? The scenes of the animation both moved and made her feel her blood surge, as if she saw her hero finally defeat the enemy after all the hard work.

After hesitating for a while, she still didn't leave any comments, stretched her waist and sighed: "Sure enough, these exciting plots are good." ”

She is half a loyal fan of Yu Kamiya, the first to contact "Rwby", and then although she was also watching "Magical Girl Naye" and "Magical Girl Madoka" made her feel refreshed, but her favorite is still only "Rwby", no~ Now she can add "Fate/zero" to her list of favorite works.

She especially likes the characters set by women like Yang and Saber, who have their own rules of action and do not revolve around the male protagonist of the work. After her first encounter with the "Fate/zero" off-the-shelf novel "Knight's Twilight", she immediately fell in love with Saber's character setting, King Arthur's setting as a woman is quite a bold innovation, and "Knight's Twilight" also perfectly controls this setting, integrating historical and legendary elements to create a very good story.

In the novel, Saber grows from a little girl to an arrogant and noble king, and the animation is an ending to the novel in another sense, full of Yuu Kamiya's thoughts on this character and his evaluation of this character.

Just as [King's Army] contrasts with the character of Iskandar, the King of Conquest, [Sword of Oath Victory] is Yuu Kamiya's answer to Saber's character.

Now when it comes to King Arthur, Tang Yue is sure that his first impression must be Saber.

"A heroic and upright female knight, is there a better setting than this, I really can't stand it~!" Tang Yue got up from the chair and threw herself on the bed, hugging the pillow and rolling for a while, imagining the appearance of Saber without revealing a silly ambiguous smile. Although she has a normal sexual orientation, if a woman like Saber does show up and pursue her, she definitely doesn't care about coming out.

The people around her must have been surprised to see her smile, when did that cold and arrogant eldest lady become a girl?

Tang Yue picked up the mobile phone next to the bed and couldn't wait to call her best friend.

"Doot toot!"

It took a while for the phone to ring.

"I said, do you know how many points it is? If you don't give me a proper reason, I'll go to your house tomorrow and pull you out of bed. A helpless female voice rang on the other side of the phone.

Tang Yue hugged the pillow and turned over her body and said dissatisfiedly: "It's only 12 o'clock now." ”

“・・・・・・”

The other side of the phone continued in a puzzled tone: "This period, this point, I know, should you call specifically to tell me about that animation?" ”

"Bingo! That's right. Tang Yue replied with a smile while lying on the bed, she would only show this side in front of her closest friends.

"I said you're not too young, what kind of animation are you watching?"

"You obviously like "Fate/zero" and say things like that, the seventeenth episode is very exciting! Also, the Noble Phantasm that Sabe intends to use is not the Sword of the Chosen King, guess what? ”

"Don't give me spoilers, you guy, animation is just a pastime, I don't have your patience, so it's more important than a pastime or sleeping."

"Now that you're up, let's watch the animation first."

"I'm talking about you..."

Tang Yue, who was on the phone, slapped her forehead and said eagerly: "It's not good, I almost forgot, I'll call me later after you finish reading and tell me your opinion, now I'm going to the Knights..."

"Knights...

After putting down the phone, Tang Yue rushed back to the computer again, opened the social circle of his [BiuBiuBiu] account, and quickly found the connection to "Fate/zero". This is a user exchange community set up by station B specifically for "Fate/zero" animation research, and more than 100,000 users have followed this community.

Within this community, there is a crucial survey - the Fate/zero character popularity poll.

Most of the conflicts in the community can be said to be caused by this popularity vote, fans of different characters form different circles, among which the Knights are a small community formed by viewers who like Saber, the Knights are not conspicuous in the overall environment, and Saber is not the most popular in the "Fate/zero" anime.

The most popular character in "Fate/zero" is undoubtedly Lancer Zhao Yun, followed by the conqueror King Iskander, and the one standing on the same popularity level as the conqueror King Iskandar is Saber, and Station B's popularity survey last week - "[The animation work "Fate/zero", the record list of audience popularity voting results, ends on January 10, 2019]

1st place: Lancer Zhao Yun - 99,762 votes.

2nd place: Rider conquers King Iskandar - 86,821 votes.

3rd place: Artoria Pendragon, Knight of Saber - 85,834 votes.

4th place: Archer Hero King Gilgamesh - 60,291 votes.

5th place: Berserker Lancelot - 53,019 votes.

6th place: Caster, French Marshal Gilles de Les - 29,827 votes

7th place: Assassin Assasin - 25,029 votes. ”

Every official user of Bilibili has five voting opportunities, of which you can vote for two of your favorite characters, and the other three voting opportunities cannot be given to the same role. This voting mechanism is the root cause of the conflict, and under the evil voting system, even the Assassin of the soy sauce character or the villain Caster can barely regain a little popularity.

It seems like a simple vote, but in fact, every character formation is extremely careful, and at present, Lancer Zhao Yun has always been the leader because of his previous plot performance and because he belongs to the Chinese Heroic Spirit, which has an unparalleled popularity advantage. Mu Xiu will be destroyed by the forest wind, so all camps tacitly support each other's checks and balances, such as voting the other three votes for characters other than Lancer Zhao Yun in exchange for other camps voting for the other votes for their favorite characters.

A character popularity vote is as complicated as national politics, and the factional competition has led to Lancer Zhao Yun becoming the biggest loser, otherwise his popularity vote will be at least 30,000 votes away from the second-ranked conqueror Iskander.

Some people like this way of voting, and some people scoff at it.

The reason why audiences from different camps care so much about this character vote is because Station B's cooperation plan for "Fate/zero" has been announced, and the characters who win the popularity vote will have priority whether it is an official Chinese novel, a series of interactive activities, or the introduction of peripheral publications.

Nowadays, it's mainly related to the sale of official Chinese novels.,Because the progress of the sinicization of "Knight's Twilight" is nearing completion,So the performance of the Knights has been quite low-key.,It's enough to barely maintain the identity of Saber's first "heroine".。 At this time, who can win the first place in the popularity vote,Then the next official Chinese biography novel must be the one to choose。

Now, the results of the Saber popularity poll have put that low-profile in the dust.

[Anime work "Fate/zero", the record list of audience popularity voting results, ending on January 10, 2019]

1st place: Artoria Pendragon, Knight of Saber - 105834 votes.

Second place: Lancer Zhao Yun - 101721 votes.

3rd place: Rider conquers King Iskandar - 87,825 votes. ”

An hour after episode 17 aired, Saber's popularity votes skyrocketed by more than 20,000.

When Tang Yue saw the results of this vote, her face immediately changed slightly, and she couldn't describe it with words like joy.

This time, the increase in Saber's popularity vote completely broke the balance, making the Knights, who didn't want to be on the cusp, become the target of public criticism, and the negative backlash from breaking the balance of popularity votes, including the alliance that voted for its own popularity, will naturally collapse.

Tang Yue sighed and logged in to the circle of the knights and asked, "Although I expected that the popularity would rise, what happened to this increase in popularity?" ”

"Ah, Captain."

"We didn't do anything, just some other viewers who like My King took advantage of the momentum to launch a popularity poll, and then that's it."

"The number of votes surpassed Zhao Yun, no matter what, it's worth rejoicing."

"But now the anime is only in its seventeenth episode, and there is still some time before the voting deadline."

"If there are more people who like it, they will also recruit black, not to mention that there are many viewers who don't like Altoria because of the biography novel."

Tang Yue pondered for a while before typing and answering: "Anyway, although the balance is broken, it is not necessarily a good thing or a bad thing, even if the vote advantage is recovered in the future, Saber's popularity will never fall below the third place again." ”

"Indeed, so now let's start promoting the characters?"

"It's clear that the only way to do this is now."

"Canvassing ~ Canvassing!"

・・・・・・

The character voting in "Fate/zero" opens a new chapter in China's unofficial "Meng War", which should not be considered a Meng War, because most of the characters participating in this character voting are men. In fact, this time the character popularity vote has a profound impact on the cute battle system of the entire Chinese ACG circle.

[BiuBiuBiu] is the representative circle of the Chinese ACG field in this world, and there is official intervention and actual voting rewards in this character voting, so you can imagine what kind of turmoil the "Fate/zero" character voting will cause.

Attention is an essential element for any project to survive, and as long as it is properly run, the impact will certainly be no worse than that of Ri Meng in the future. Of course, with the current strength of the [BiuBiuBiu] barrage video site, it can only engage in superficial popular character voting first.

This popularity voting event was also held at the behest of Yu Kamiya.,The main purpose is not to establish "Medium Moe" or "B Moe",It's to investigate how much the total popularity of the knight Ji Saber in "Fate/zero" alone will be weakened without the support of the previous work.,It's an indirect investigation of Saber's character building.。
