Illyasviel von Einzbern is a major antagonist turned anti-heroine in Fate/stay night. She is the master of Berserker during the Fifth Holy Grail War. Initially she took part to take revenge on Shirou Emiya due to mistakenly considering him the main reason her father Kiritsugu Emiya abandoned her but ends up becoming his adopted sister.
She was voiced by Mai Kadowaki in the Japanese version of the anime, and Stephanie Sheh in the English dubbed version.
Her Evil Ranking[]
What Makes Her Heinous?[]
- She intended to get revenge on her father by exacting it on his adopted son Shirou.
- In the first bad end, Illya has Berserker chop Shirou’s head off and uses magic to keep him alive and conscious and proceeds to keep him tortured for eternity.
- She tries to kill Shirou, Rin, and Saber with Berserker.
- If Shirou decides to run away, the bad end results in Rin being killed and Shirou mortally wounded. Illya then traps his soul in a doll forever to torture.
- Shirou nearly died as a result of Berserker and Illya only shows disinterest that he would die so easily and leaves him to die.
- Has Berserker kill Shinji (although, to be fair, he absolutely deserved it).
- Kidnaps Shirou and asks him to become her servant; if Shirou says yes Illya’s contract prevents him from moving his body and she proceeds to trap his soul inside a doll forever.
- Has Berserker kill Archer in combat.
- Planed on having Berserker violate and murder Saber and Rin.
What Makes Her Inconsistent?[]
- She is way too tragic to be PE or NPE. She is a natural-born homunculus who was designed to be a vessel for the holy grail. Due to the modification of her body, her growth is stunted as she still looks like a young girl at 18 and her life span was shortened. After the death of her mother, she was tricked by the Einzbern family into thinking her father abandoned her (when in reality the Einzbern family kept her father from seeing her) Which caused her to become be vengeful.
- She loved her mother, Irisviel, and missed her deeply after her death.
- Despite seeking revenge against her father Kiritsugu she sheds a tear when she realizes he is gone in the Heavens Feel Route, which implies she still cared for him somewhat.
- Despite how harsh she seemed to him at first, she grew to care for her servant Berserker and even viewed him in a fatherly manner which was also mutual on his end, given that he was the only servant 100 percent satisfied with his Master.
- Despite wanting to kill him initially, she grew to care for Shirou in Heavens Feel after talking with him and came to consider him a big brother figure and decided to abandon her revenge on him and help support him.
- She works helps Rin create the dagger to defeat Sakura with.
- At the end of the Fate route, she chills out and is much friendlier to Shirou and has given up on killing him and even formed a friendship with Sakura.
- She ultimately redeems and sacrifices herself to save Shirou by persevering his soul in a doll, allowing him to be revived later, and closes the gate to the grail by sacrificing her life.
