Unlimited Blade Works, at least !

I hope the second half of the episodes is less boring than the first.

This episode gave us enough hints that Archer is

In the first half they introduce a few Masters and Servants, tell the rules and show us a few fights. The importance of the rest is questionnable.
12 episodes for this ? The length of two "long" movies ?
Thanks to Saber, I saw more than 3 episodes : she saves the first half by her sole presence.

Great episode. They have 12 episodes to wrap things up, so I'm hoping that things turn out to be pretty interesting.

The best episode! Unlimited Blade Works was great but I hated that Archer lost. He could of just killed of Berserker by killing his master but didnt and he didnt even try to kill shiro.

Well, this episode was still pure epicness!

Great episode. It might've been a bit strange if I hadn't played the chant in the VN, but since I did, I felt like the episode was reeking epic. I really wanted this part to be in the VN, but the anime took care of the problem. The chant still sends shivers down my spine.

Omg do you know someone cooler than him

I'm a little bit sad that Archer lost after such a great performance.

In his first appearance Berserker seemed a bit bigger then in ep 14.

Even the Engrish couldn't ruin the melodramatic awesomeness of Archer's final performance.

I do wonder what he meant by "I thought I got rid of it." I suppose he could simply mean that he thought his last big attack would have killed berserker, but I suspect Archer may have meant that his time with Rin and Shirou might have rekindled his more human emotions.

His giving advice to Shirou on multiple occasions as well as sacrificing himself heroically in a rescue mission, which he didn't really object to (he voiced his objections, but he went without Rin having to use the forced command) would seem to support that idea.

Wow that was pretty damn amazing. One of the best battles I ever seen hands down. His ability and the unlimited blade works kinda reminds me of Rakan from mahou sensei negima's pactio, the hero with a thousand faces.

Looks like Heracles is just too dam imba. It will take a true weapon to kill a hero, looks like its time for some Excalibur action.

As I recall illya said berserker dies to archer 5 times but all i saw was 4 kills:
Once by Calabolg II
Once by the 2 pairs of KnB exploding onto berserker, the first pair dont count since they just bounced off berserker.
Once by Crane Wing Overedge
and once by UBW.
Tell me if im wrong

Wrong! Caladbolg II was defelected and made that hole in the roof... KnB are C rank if I am correct and anything under B+ doesn't penatrate Berserker's God Hand... Not shure about KnB Overedge since that's an anime only thing but since using that messed up one of his arms I would assume that it didn't take a life either...

At the end of the fight Berserker has burns wich I think took one life and a few blades in him. I think those blades took the remaining lives.... So I think he took the rest of his lives with that.

please note that in the VN Archer killed Berserker six times without UWB.

He hates Shirou Emiya (himself), so when he has those flashbacks he criticizes himself for still having sentimental feelings for what he once was.

hick! What an epic chapter... Epic chapter is epic chapter... Archer is Shirou in the future... What's this VN talk you're talking about huh? I don't understand what you mean but that has to be super important since you mention it many times...

Well my thoughts for this episode... The battle between Berserker and Archer was definitely amazing... who would thought Archer would stand against so many hits from Berserker... And also he dodge a lot.... But since the beginning we could see that the he would lose... Afterall that first swing of Berserkerk's fugly Sword....

Archer's `Special moves were amazing... But definitely Ultimate Blade IronWorks was the best.... Yet he used his best move and got killed... I can't actually believe that... well that happens... since we have already seen such things with the good old Rider...

RIP Archer... and now what will happen...

Signs,
Green

That was indeed one of the best fight scene I've ever seen.

..... Shirou, that useless kid will eventually turn into Archer...


Great fight. Just great. Though the only confusion is that why he's call Archer... he only use bow/arrow once.

That's pretty gay. After putting up such a show you'd think he'd have won but no.

Watching this series after playing through the VN. Nice that they threw in some UBW in the Fate story.

Yeah, why did Shirou have to get himself in such trouble... But whatever...

I absolutely loved this fight. It was EPIC. Archer is even more badass than I first thought. Though discovering Berserker has 12 lives just left me with my mouth open. 5 down, 7 to go?

So... I cried in the end.

R.I.P. Archer.
