Try seeing movies and count how much is done by much superior heroes against enemy trying to do futile efforts versus how much is about a single hero "showing courage against overwhelming odds" (hard-to-get love interest and uncooperative in-laws included).
The funny thing is, if I understand correctly, it's that very rationale which prompted Capcom to make 1942/1943. The Battle of Midway was seen as a point where the Americans were still the underdogs, and yet managed a decisive victory against the Combined Fleet.
It took the USA months of heavy fighting after Midway before it established naval superiority.
That's how I always thought of it. They just demilitarize the girls. Like when soldiers turn in their gear to a quatermaster. Or like how the USS Missouri was turned into a floating museum.
Very few ships are lucky enough to become museums, though.
Huh. I was looking at the source link and didn't see any mention of Orin or Okuu in the tags. In fact Google Translate says one of the tags means "another cat," and the title for this picture is something like "Furubu Char."

Without the Grail, everyone's lives would have been very different to begin with, and very few of them would have ended up like this. Most of the Servants would have never known each other, and none of them would have ever met their Masters.
The Einzberns would have had no reason to invite the Magus Killer to act as their Master for HF4, after all, and that means he'd never have met Irisviel, and Illyasviel would never have been born. He'd still be doing jobs with Maiya.
NailStar said: Why exactly would these beings merge into one entity?
Considering the kinds of characters in this fusion? I'd say some of them might have been unwilling.
Might have even been a "be careful what you wish for" case for some of the girls, too. Somewhere in the back of this thing's head, Utsuho is probably wishing she never said "Won't you fuse with me?"
I said it in the other picture, but I blame Suika for gathering all the final/ex/phantasm bosses into a lump and Utsuho fusing everyone into one being.
Though I have to wonder, if they're all some sort of Youkainacht (ha, almost sounds like Juggernaut!), does that mean we'll see the silhouettes of the fusees giggling madly as its minions?
The guy's notes for this picture mentions Gundam 00 stuff like the 0-RAISER and the Trans Am (at least from what I was able to glean; someone else is gonna have to double check me).
So, I think Utsuho's literally fused herself into Sanae, like a power booster.
