I will note that we're hilariously megafucked by Gilgamesh. Even beyond his general hax, he hard counters Capitalist.

Votes got tied up while I was midway through writing the update, but I think this solution will be worthwhile for everyone anyways.
Also, a partial Servant status sheet is up for Capitalist back on the first page. Head over there and take a look sometime.
[x] Ask the man if he would be willing to consider an alliance in the Grail War.
"Excuse me!" you call. "You're a Master, right? Master of Berserker?"
"I might be," the man says noncommittally. His jacket sleeve slips, clearly revealing the Command Seals on his hand.
"We don't have to fight," you say. "My servant Capitalist obviously has massive resources at his disposal. With your magecraft and Servant backed by our funding, we could make a formidable team." Capitalist nods, and conjures a large pile of yen bills as proof. The man takes the money and looks it over, turning it over in his hands.
"You would ally with a broken man like me?" the man says. "I suppose I am intrigued by your proposal...although money is of no value to me. [30%]"
"Money is but a tool of exchange; it has no value on its own," Capitalist agrees. "But with money, you could acquire many things that could make your task easier-and I have unlimited money at my disposal. It might even be possible for you to accomplish the wish you desire from the Grail with yen rather than the Grail itself, if you ally with us."
As Capitalist finishes, Berserker catches up with you, roaring with rage. You prepare to defend yourself, but the man raises his hands, and Berserker stops, chest heaving.
"There is only one thing that is of value to me now..." the man says. "A young girl named Sakura, imprisoned in the worm-infested basement of the Matou family. You are aware of the name, I assume?"
You nod. You'd come across the name when reading up on the Grail Wars in your room. As one of the originators of the Grail War, the Matou family had been a participant in every war since the beginning, but had never been a serious contender despite their storied magical history and mastery of familiar magecraft.
"If your money can accomplish great deeds...then I beg of you: rescue Sakura Tohsaka from my father Zouken Matou, and return her to her true family." The man coughs for a moment, and you detect a faint whiff of blood in the air. "If you do...I will have no use for the Grail myself. Then I, Kariya Matou, will serve at your side until my body finally fails me." [50%] The man turns around, walking away into the warehouse. "Come, Berserker."
---
Several minutes later, you escape the warehouse, heading out onto the streets of Fuyuki City. It's a long cry from the town where you grew up in Germany, but it's still a very charming place.
"So, are we going to assist the poor man?" Capitalist asks you. "I'd hate to think that we were negotiating in bad faith."
[ ] Go to the Matou manor.
-[ ] Attempt to enter the manner stealthily and rescue Sakura.
-[ ] Knock on the door, and attempt to buy Sakura's freedom with Capitalist's funds.
-[ ] Crush the house under a giant pile of money. (???)
[ ] You should rest before you decide. It's been a long trip to Fuyuki and a long chase by Berserker, and you need to regroup.
-[ ] Have Capitalist rent the two of you a hotel room.
-[ ] Have Capitalist buy the hotel.
-[ ] Write in
[ ] Despite the long trip to Fuyuki, you're full of energy! You want to go out and do more Grail War things!
-[ ] Scout the city and get your bearings.
-[ ] Search for other Masters and Servants to fight.

I'm really tempted to take that option, just to see what happens. I mean, the "goal" is to get as many BAD END as possible, right?

New guy here (and he knows at least something about "Fate" series) Like Sakura and positive ending (aka no corrupt Grail or dick Gilgy)
[X] Capital Strike:
-[X] With Capitalist funds and some anonymous messages "buy" off all local police (non-magical) and all executors, Mage association members, etc. (all available magical users (WITHOUT OTHER MASTERS)) to arrest an abusive, monster from abusing a poor stolen girl.
--[X] all executors, Mage association members, etc. (all available magical users (WITHOUT OTHER MASTERS)) are bought off to "kill a Dead Apostle" and return "stolen heir" from further Dead Apostle experiments.
---[X] If needed, buy a sealing designation to aim at Matou head with maximum strike
Edit: Let's be honest, "magical" community can be bought with enough money either way. Noone is immune to countless billions of yen, NOONE, AAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
