That's interesting. Never thought they'd explain what would happen if the servants were to be without masters. The game have menus with other servants skills and stuff it gets filled as you go Really loved it so far, if staynight was full of kids and boring housekeeping scenes zero is real talk with alot of pewpew. |

RaznAzn said: Berserker has some epic skills! Statistically, he was the superior among all the servants that were present this episode. And he survived being steamrolled by Rider's noble phantasm, which should speak volumes for his endurance. Also, fucking ew. Poor Kariya can't catch a break. Though I did find his laughter really cute. Absolutely insane but adorable someone-has-to-save-me-from-these-goddamn-worms-thats-eating-me-alive kind of way. |

Yumekichi11 said: From what I've heard the show is supposed to play out almost exactly like the novels so berserker's identity should be revealed the same way it was in the source material. However, I haven't read the novels so I can't vouch for how accurate the show is so far. If anybody here has read them and would like to tell me how faithful the adaption is, feel free.LaLaLaidarR said: I did, oops.

| oh wow that was awesome. 2 command seals used already? uh oh Beserker was pretty sick, and seemed a better match for Gilgamesh than the F/SN. Iskander is still the best. now that's a king. |

 |
| Cool battle, this show should just keep doing more of that. |
| Another phenomenal episode of F/Z! This is not even in the same era as F/SN in terms of quality, dropped F/SN after 4 episodes, started playing the VN - Best decision ever. Course i kinda got spoiled about certain characters, but it's no biggie. Man Lancer's Master is an ass, you should have taken the shot Kiritsugu! Iskander is still so amazingly GAR to watch, Gilgamesh is the guy you love to hate. CG Berserker is also fine too. So far i prefer: F/SN Assassin over F/Z Assassin F/Z Berserker over F/SN Berserker F/Z Caster over F/SN Caster F/Z Lancer over F/SN Lancer F/Z Rider over F/SN Rider 4.5/5 |

DesolateOne said: Holy fuck. Berserker is incredible. So Tokiomi is controlling two servants? Gilgamesh and Assasin? How does that work? Amazing fight scenes like always. Caster at the end was creepy as fuck...lol Kirei still has discretion of Assassin. However him and Tokiomi are still allies, since the failed infiltration of Tohsaka was jsut a ploy. And yes, isn't Berserker just wunderbar? He can turn anything into a weapon due to his master of arms trait. Also yes, caster is creeper as all fucking hell. Isn't him and ryunosuke just huggable? |
| Aww Mai Gawd. What did I just see?! Berserker just stomped on Gilgamesh's pride. That was one helluva fight! Bloody caster stay away from my saber :@ So far my favourites are Saber Berserker Rider Lancer Archer Assassin And I hate Caster. |
| Stay Home and Wash Your Hands. Protect Yourself. Protect Your Loved Ones. Protect Your Community and Help Defeat Coronavirus. |
| This show went from awesome to Godly. This episode was epic in many ways. Again, Gilgamesh what a badass prick he is. Absolutely love it. That's a charm you don't find often in anime. I think Greed from FMA:B was something similar to him. I can't wait for this show to develop in stories. |
 |
| Another thing, is that I lost my appetite because of the following spoiler On the other hand WTF is going to happen to him if he keeps ejecting those worms out? One thing for sure is that the trigger was mainly due to the worms being man hungry and Berseker draining most of his mana for his fight against Saber. Is that correct as to the reason why he went sick. BTW that was fucking disgusting to watch and eat. I was enjoying the food with the fight though.

Kite0207 said: Gilgamesh, under Tokiomi, has Independent Action A which means he can remain in the world for 1 week. His Independent Action increases to A+ because of the effects of the "incident" at the end of the War. Barring that event from happening all Servants need a Master from the current time period in order for Gaia to recognize them as natural entities. Otherwise they're swiftly eliminated as alien elements. It doesn't even have to do with the amount of prana, although lacking prana does also make Servants disappear.DesolateOne said: Woah, where'd you get this from? That's interesting. Never thought they'd explain what would happen if the servants were to be without masters. The game have menus with other servants skills and stuff it gets filled as you go. |

Frenz said: Hard to believe they are going to be able to fit this in a 13 episode series, going great so far. it's 26 ep, split into s1 and s2. S2 will begin showing next april |
| オタクなんじゃねぃよ I'm not an otaku. |
| EPIC!!!!!!!! nothing else can describe this episode :D berserk is totally badass!!! my favorite servant from now on :] |
   |
| This episode was fucking epic. Berserker is so badass. Gilgamesh is the best as usual. It's nice to see him get pissed, hopefully I finally get to see him serious in this show. Honestly all the servants are good so far. Looks like we got a glimpse of the servants powers. |

guyklc said: Truly, Studio DEEN disgraced FSN. We need a remake of FSN!! I really loved this episode; seriously, Fate Zero never stops to amaze me. Artwork was beautiful, and I was hooked throughout the entire episode. For a moment there, I really thought Lancer's master was about to be killed. Only thing I have to say is that Saber is surprisingly weak this time around, whereas in FSN, she was supposed to be the strongest servant. Are you sure she's weak....or is it the fact that all the other servants are freaking monsters? Not, to mention that she's pretty much fighting with one hand and she did in fact take her fair share of beatings in Fate/Stay, particularly the VN. |

| Oh my god. I never knew I'd love this anime this much when it started. But holy sh*t, this episode was amazing.. The fight scenes in this are just.. wow.. Why can't ufotable animate EVERY ANIME EVER? I mean.. wow.. So far, this anime is cruising towards getting my fourth 10/10 score. As much as I like guilty crown, that'd only be 8.5 or 9 compared to this, this is just.. wow.. I must get into the fate/ universe more it seems, if anyone could PM me how to do so and what to start with, that'd be great! |

insan3soldiern said: In terms of stats and power Saber is a beast with ony Berserker truly crusing over her (which is offset in Fate/Zero due to how uncontrollable he is, unlike Ilya's complete control over her Berserker) and the only one who actually has a more powerfull one-shot blast NP is Archer Gilgamesh. guyklc said: Truly, Studio DEEN disgraced FSN.

Not, to mention that she's pretty much fighting with one hand and she did in fact take her fair share of beatings in Fate/Stay, particularly the VN. The real weakness of Saber is not strength, is her rashness and overconfidence. Even in F/SN her losses are no fault of Shirou but just her not planning ahead and just rushing ahead. And when people mentioned "Knight classes" they meant the way the seven classes are categorized. Saber, Archer and Lancer are called the "Knight" classes and all 3 have Magic Resistance. The other 3 are specialized classes in Riding, Assassination and Sorcery, and then the last one is reserved for all heroes that have gone mad at some point during their life, Berserker. coolxal said: That's so wrong in so many ways. Perhaps it's hard to tell in the anime since you aren't privy to her full skills, but Saber's strength is actually boosted by an aura of magical power to compensate for her smaller physique. In other words, she's at the same level of all of them. That's why she can fight with Berserker at a reasonably even level. Of course Berserker is stronger, they're the strongest class in raw power. Well there's also the fact that she's the only woman in this war. So not surprisingly, she's the weakest one. She almost got killed 3 times if not for Iskandar and Lancer saving her. |

The other r are specialized classes in Riding, Assassination and Sorcery, and then the last one is reserved for all heroes that have gone mad at some point during their life, Berserker. So, she's still the most powerful servant pretty much. I guess that explains why Urobuchi decided to get her injured, like a previous poster mentioned. I guess it was a good decision to sort of balance things out. But, yeah, her rashness and overconfidence are great points that I've honestly never even thought about but are certainly true looking back. |

| QUALITY GODTIER EPISODE!! So far as ep 5 is concerned, Berserker IS DA BOMB!!!! Next would be GARcher and Rider coz he paved the way for other servants to come. Was expecting Caster to appear tho but anyway, maybe next ep. MOAR!!!! |
| wow this show getting better and better with every new ep! |

| Yes, Saber is still been limited power-wise to make the story and casts developed more. She was injured and still has her sword (Excalibur), plus of course that imbahax Avalon (although I didn't know if she had her Avalon in F/Z) But most of the servants still has their own trump cards in their hands. (Maybe only lancer that has used all of his NP, but I dunno). This is still the first fight, so I'll wait for more awesome treats by ufotable :3 |
Akiyama said: All servants stats(Caution:Big Spoilers!!!) Woah hang on, Saber was only able to survive F/SN Lancer's Gae Bolg due to her sheer luck; why is her luck rank D here? |
| Different master, servant also has different stats. But it's not only because of her Luck to survive Lancer's NP, it's more Luck A + Battle Instinct A, which is very similar to mind eye but she's born with it. A plothax skill through and through, and reason why she can charge head on without dying every time. |
| Seems like this show is heading straight towards 10/10-rank in my books. It's visuals are phenomenal for a TV-series, exceeding even some movies. Music is also awesome, which is not a bit surprising, because Kajiura. Caster's voice actor is doing pretty fucking good job btw. Epic, 5/5 |

There's a few things that were changed/left out from what I've noticced. I'll put it in the spoiler tags below if anyone is curious. I'm sure there's more but those r the only ones I've noticed. Also. the circling in ep1 wasnt in the book. It was just stupid. STUPID. |
