| But Rin goes on a date too.... |
| The more I am watching this series the more I want to play Fate route again. Don't get me wrong first half of this series is pretty good up to episode 13 or so but after that it lacks emotions in the moments where there should be ones. This episode was somehow true to the game and I was glad they brought up some of Shirou's thougths again but in VN that bridge scene with Saber and Shirou had much bigger impact in terms of emotions. For some reason I didn't see any affection or love between those two in this anime. And this episode even failed to explain that reason why Shirou took Saber on this date in the first place - to show her she can live in this world, to let her know he cares for her, to have some fun at least, to recognize her as human being. It saddens me because in the game those characters had their very reason to act this way but sadly this reason is almost nonexistent here. ssjokg said: But Rin goes on a date too.... I still think that Rin's date during UBW is lot better because both of them goes with him. Mod Edit: Merged duplicated posts; please use the edit button. |

| Rin's reaction mirrored my own, hahahahaha. Shirou's really selfish and naive, but he sucks at talk no jutsu so he really fails at the end of the day. He and Saber are a horrible match anyway, imo. I still can't perceive how he . StardustReverie said: This, lol.Honestly, I'm not watching this for the plot anymore and shirou and saber can just fuck off. I'm watching this for Rin. |

Well that was before I read the vn so.. The date scene was kinda okay. I didn't hate it, but I didn't like it that much either. It's easier to understand in the VN why Shirou acts the way he does in Fate/the anime series, but even Nasu admitted he made a mistake with all the "but Saber is a girl" crap, since he feared people wouldn't believe that she really is. |

C-Core said: [spoiler]That isnt necessary since HS/CG exist out of time and space axis(or whatever, too lazy to look up the actual term).I cant imagine Rin NOT using the pendant to summon "the best Servant".Archer-origins route must be a Fate like route(maybe with a little bit HF in it).Archer knew about Saber's wish and had a certain attitude towards it and in Fate, the only thing that Shirou learned was how to trace and it was nowhere near UBW route level. The RM is what it takes years to learn. |

| [spoiler]I used to think that way when I learned his identity,before reading the VN, but after that I came to the conclusion that such a start isnt needed. Sure a timeline where Rin summons a different HS may be possible(by some kind of miracle(or curse) she didnt use the pendant) but it doesnt have to be EMIYA's origin. I mean, I find it very weird for Shirou to be saved by the pendant but then for that to result to nothing, because she somehow didnt use it for the summoning. |
| It looks like heavy stuff is going down in the next episode. hype |
 |
| If a woman is staring void on the top of a bridge for hours, no wonder, she is going to suicide! People must have reported this situation to police in real life. People must have... WHAT PEOPLE? WHY ISN'T THERE ANYONE AROUND? WHY IS THE CITY EMPTY ALL THE TIME?? |
| Thought this episode would be funnier than that, Shirou doesn't really know how to date huh? |
| why are you watching this lol? |

insan3Inquisitor said: The problem I have with the romance portion of the series is that there isn't any chemistry between Saber and Shirou at all. Indeed. In fact Shirou is too much of a obnoxious moron to be with any of these girls. This episode was stupid. I guess it was a bad idea for me to watch Fate/Zero first. This show is such a disappointment in comparison. Not enough seriousness and action/combat. It's just another stupid harem (btw, are MC's supposed to be unlikeable? Because this is the hundredth time where I've said out loud, "How could so many smart, charming girls be attracted to this a**wipe?" while watching a harem). But enough about my issues. Where in the F*** is Lancer? |

| So no one managed to answer: why would Saber have to die when she gets the Holy Grail? I am imagining a couple of possibilities. Let me know if one of them is close to the truth. 1) Holy Grails can only be touched by Servants but Saber is not a 100% complete Servant so the Grail could burn her to death? 2) Something to do with her wish? Based on scenes from previous episodes, she got a whole village killed or something? So she wants to go back in time to sacrifice herself? Thus, getting the Grail is like granting her death wish? |
| That's her contract. To serve the Counter-Force and take a contract as a Counter-Guardian after her death, in exchange for being given the chance to obtain the Grail. Her wish to the Grail is to erase her reign from history, after which she planned to return to the aftermath of Camlann, whereupon she dies shortly after Bedivere takes her away from the hill. |

| Shirou explaining the meaning of a date to Mother Saber and Tsunderin teasing Shirou was hilarious. Lolisviel wanted to join in and was knocked out by Tsunderin. Sadly, the date ended with an argument. |
| You're a louse, Roger Smith. - R. Dorothy Wayneright This is my fight! No Senpai, this is our fight! - Kojou Akatsuki & Yukina Himeragi  |
| So, hum, how is Arthur going to change the past with the Grail? o_o And I dsomehow doubt this thing about Servants becoming living humans again through a magical sip is true. A date right now ? It comes up pretty weirdly. And because it's a post-sex first date, it was doomed from the start. XD Funny look, this half-god wearing casual clothes. (but since he has lived ten years as a foreigner in Tôkyô, why not) 2/5 The pause before the last line is always good but this one was poorly filled. |
| Wow....such a snooze fest |
 |
on 
| wtf a date? and shirou's an ass. i agree with people saying he's got his head so selfishly inside his ass he can't really see how arrogant he's being. and dude, who had the idea to make their relationship a romance? shirou and saber have no chemistry at all and it all comes off as bad writing. two episodes ago saber was being all girly and out of character and now she's asking him if she's the woman in question when he suggests the date? i do get shirou's intentions in showing her she can be like a human and live like that, but she can't. he's basically asking her to leave everything she believes behind just to stay with him and trying to make it sound like it's for her sake. and if this was the saber from the beginning of the series she would never have stayed on that bridge for that long. kinda pisses me off how now she has feelings she can't think and act for herself. |
  |
| They're seeing a sunken ship when they're dating, lmao. This must be some forshadowing. Also Saber said she destroy the ship when there's no passenger on it, what about the helmsman bruh ? Nanaya-kun said: Why do characters suddenly reappear and disappear from the plot whenever they are needed/not needed? Wtf happened to Lancer, Shirous's teacher, and Sakura? If you mean Kuzuki sensei, he's dead. |
| He who smiles in a crisis has found someone to blame. |
| was not expecting a date in all of this |
 |
| This was a good episode. Their date could have definitely gone better though. |
  |
| Running away from a girl because you lost in a argument and got pissed off is the most gay shit that I've ever seen |
| Inside of me you’re still living Each time I think of you pain, suffering, sorrow, despair You’re just an emotional decay, the one who took my life away |
| so we didn't get a fine answer to why this "king" is remained. but it seems he's gonna be the last obstacle? really can't figuring out syber lol. but seen her and shirou is always cute. the only bad thing is that rin gave up on shiro... that preview .... i'm just going to watch it now |
