Plot[edit]
After the previous film's events, Saber is presumed dead, effectively eliminating Shirou Emiya from the Holy Grail War. Regardless, he intends to continue fighting. After returning from a meeting with Rin Tosaka, Shirou finds Sakura Matou has been kidnapped by her brother Shinji and the two confront him. Sakura then pleads for everyone to stop and Rider heeds her call, revealing her as Rider's true Master. When Sakura refuses his demands for Rider, Shinji uses a potion that causes her to lose control of her mana and flees. Archer and Rin attack Sakura, but Rider defends her and starts turning them to stone with her gaze - revealing her true identity as Medusa. However, when Shirou gets hurt saving Rin, Sakura's grief causes her to injure herself and forces Rider to stop. Shirou reawakens in Fuyuki Church, where priest Kirei Kotomine operates on Sakura. He explains Sakura's body is infested by Zōken Matou's Crest Worms, which feed on her mana and cause her to feel extreme arousal. As Rin resolves to kill her for the danger she poses, Kotomine reveals to Shirou that Rin and Sakura are blood sisters with Sakura being given to the Matou family for adoption. Despite Sakura's attempts to push him away for his own safety, Shirou promises he will protect her even at the cost of his ideals. Sakura moves back to the Emiya household with Rider, who slowly starts to trust Shirou, but Sakura regularly gets aroused due to the Crest Worms and her behavior becomes erratic.
Shirou and Rin seek out Illyasviel von Einzbern to form an alliance, but find her in battle with Zōken and the shadow, which unleashes the corrupted Saber Alter to subdue Berserker so it can devour him. While Archer is able to drive Zōken's Assassin off, the shadow mortally wounds him and severs Shirou's left arm. Before he dies, Archer cuts off his own left arm and transplants it onto Shirou to save his life. Having lost their Servants, Rin and Illya move into the Emiya household to plan their next step and help Shirou get used to his new arm, now sealed with a holy cloth as his body cannot handle Archer's power within it. However, as Rin grows closer to Shirou, Sakura becomes jealous and asks him if he loves her romantically, to which Shirou affirms he does - resulting in the two having sex.
One night, Sakura sleepwalks throughout the city and kills several people. The Servant Gilgamesh attacks her, but the shadow devours him. Sakura then returns to the Emiya household and Shirou realizes the shadow comes from her. Due to injuries she sustained from Gilgamesh, Sakura is bedridden and Illya tells her that she has become the vessel for the Holy Grail, thus she does not have long to live. Illya, who is secretly Kiritsugu Emiya's biological daughter, also lets go of her grudge against him, after Taiga reveals he tried to rescue her from her abusive family rather than abandoning her. Shirou is later approached by Zōken, who reveals the shadow is a piece of the Holy Grail from ten years ago, which he put inside Sakura, and claims it is not his ally at all - in fact, he can barely keep it contained. Zōken tells Shirou the only way to stop the shadow is for him to kill Sakura, as he is the only one she trusts enough to let close, but he cannot bring himself to do it.
Seeing herself as a burden to Shirou, Sakura orders Rider to protect him with her last Command Spell and returns to the Matō estate, with Shirou giving chase. Once Sakura arrives, Shinji attempts to rape her, blaming her for his inability to become a magus. Threatened with Shirou discovering Shinji has raped her for years, Sakura panics and kills her adoptive brother. As she realizes what she has done, the shadow appears and fuses with Sakura, corrupting her.
Production[edit]
The film was revealed for the first time in May 2018.[4] Director Tomonori Sudō found it as challenging film to develop but expressed joy in how fans reacted to the movie.

Critical response[edit]
Anime News Network gave the film an 'A' overall score praising its dark plot and relationships of the main character. However, the writer believed new viewers would not understand it.[29] The Fandom Post gave it a 'A-', praising the fight scenes between Saber Alter and Berserker as one of the main highlights for its execution in terms of animation. Like Anime News Network, the Fandom Post liked the development that Shirou and Sakura have but stated that viewers might feel uncomfortable about the latter's feelings in regards to the themes of sexual relationships.[30] Biggest in Japan found Shirou's character arc took a tone that contradicted his ideals from previous storylines as a result of risking losing lives for Sakura's sake, making the story a defining moment in the character.[31]
IGN felt that Sakura's personality was the one of the best parts of the second film due to how she suffers a darker characterization despite retaining her original wellmeaning self. The fights between Servants were also noted to be the biggest focus of the movie.[32] SDPNoticias stated lost butterfly was superior to its predecessor to the point might be the franchise's best release so far. SDPNoticias praised the movie for it focus on the relationship between Shirou and Sakura as well as its multiple servant battles which were noted to be high appealing. However, the reviewer noted that fans of Illya, Gilgamesh among other characters would be disappointed because the narrative does not give them too much screentime to stand out.[33] The use of nudity of and gore still felt fitting for this adaptation of the visual novel as it more important in the Heaven's Feel alongside its fight scenes while the visuals were also well-received with Sakura's protagonism being found more noticeable.[34][35]
