Yeah you probably never want it awakened anyways but if it’s a real shit origin you’re cooked

So basically if your origin is messed up and weird, you could inevitably have no choice but to act on it if ur origin is awakened. So you're doomed

So you made it through movie 6, the “oops all Azaka” adaptation.
I get why people have a hard time with this one. I haven’t read the books but apparently there’s a lot of Shiki content that got cut for the movie. And yeah Azaka is a weird little freak who is romantically in love with her blood-related brother. But the movie is still good imo and has a lot to offer.
Since you’re deep in the fate / type moon game now, you can see how there’s stuff in here that connects to the rest of the nasuverse, like with the fairies. When you’re a real fate fan seeing how it all connects is half the fun.
And the movie also adds more detail to the Knk storyline. Like why Azaka has beef with Shiki, or the cameos from old and new characters. Asagami Fujino, the girl with mystic eyes that could twist who fought Shiki in movie 3, actually shows up for a second in the intro. Azaka helps her at the top of a staircase, which Asagami has trouble with now since she’s “blind”*, complete with walking stick, after her fight with Shiki. We also meet Seo for a second. She’s Azaka’s dog-owning roommate at the academy, who will have a bigger role in a future movie. And of course the post-credits scene teaser with Souren Araya and Lio (“one letter short of a lion”). Lio actually popped up for a second in movie 2, but I can’t remember if they even mentioned his name at that point.
And one of the things I love most about type moon stories that they have in this movie — the weird shit that gets added in. Like, Nasu didn’t have to have a character in the story that is in love with her blood-related brother. But Azaka’s here anyways. (Not that she’s the only character in the nasuverse that’s in love with her brother to some degree, of course).
And her weirdness is actually relevant for lore reasons, since it helps explain the concept of Origins. They don’t explicitly say it here, but Azaka’s Origin is “Taboo”. Like she says in the movie, it’s just her nature to be drawn towards weird or taboo things. It’s basically the reason why she’s in love with her brother, or why she’s drawn to people with strange abilities or weird personalities, like her friend Asagami Fujino, or her magecraft teacher Touko, and even Shiki. It’s a fact in the books that Shiki and Azaka would be best friends if not for the fact that Azaka resents Shiki as a romantic rival.
That all goes to how Origins work in Garden of Sinners. Everyone has an Origin, which can influence, but doesn’t necessarily drive all of your actions and choices in life. But there’s a catch. If someone has their Origin awakened, they become compelled to act in line with their Origin. This is how Souren helps turn Asagami Fujino and the ghost woman in movie 1 into murderers.

Also the name of the movie. Lost memories are oblivion, and it's called Oblivion Recording/Recorder depending on the translation.
Has that Harry Potter book name vibe.
And Azaka put the music on before the rain part so the teacher's magic words won't control her.

Yeah it's honestly kinda sad that not a lot of people are aware of Garden of Sinners and it's not talked about much at least from the content creator youtube side of it.
But at the same time I do understand that majority of the people like to see the mainstream stuff especially with their short attention spans nowadays.
I'm just grateful to have people here who appreciate this masterpiece just like I do. In fact I would've never imagined getting into it myself because I love the fast mainstream popular shounen type stuff.
Once I finish this series, I'll definitely feel very proud that I got the chance to experience it and share it with you all as well. As a Fate fan, I think it's an absolute must watch at some point in your career 👍

I see GoS as one of the works which prove Nasu is one of the best story tellers in the world.
He wrote books, like 5 visual novels, the story for the 4 Fate Extra games that we have right now plus Samurai Remnant's main story, and all of the best arcs in FGO are written by him.
I understand why the youtube watchers may not be into GoS or even care to watch the vidoes because of the length.
And thanks for the reaction. Your next movie is the last 2 hour one out of the 3 you have left. Better get ready/prepare how you will watch it.
