I enjoyed the episode. It's nice to see how Rin was as a kid. Also did anyone else notice that all F/SN characters just speak their minds. Shirou got it from Fuji-ne and Saber does this as well. Sakura is really the only one who has a different nature. Idk not really relevant, but just something I noticed.

I paged through a few of the thread, mostly it seems to be debating rather it's filler, not filler, or just really good filler. I just want to know something.

When I watched Fate/Stay Night, I was pissed at Rin's parents for the whole MAGES COME FIRST thing they advocated. However watching Zero I now HATE Rin's parents. Does anyone else really despise her parents? Particularly for freaking Sakura? I mean

"We're going to sell our daughter off to a creepy old guy who I KNOW HIS SON DISOWNED HIM, and he obviously seems legit, he obviously won't do anything bad," pretty much seems to paraphrase their attitude. And then after learning EXACTLY what kind of crap that guy pulls by seeing what's his names face, and knowing that Sakura has been abused, clearly stated by that guy, she still only worried for him. He's clearly a far better person than either Tokioka (sp?) parents could ever hope to be. o.O

It's too bad but yeah. It's also sad Rin's philosophy was shaped by his dad's to the point she tried to emulate him in Heaven's Feel. Thankfully, in one of the things you have to thank Shirou for, Shirou always manages to snap her out of that stupidity and show her to relax her stance a little.

My girl Rin's been a badass since she was 10 years old! Awesome episode! A bit tense at times even.

ahhh, this episode made me feel so anxious!
I wonder if Rin will become an annoying character in fate/night because that was my first impression of her. But she's strong.

I hope Caster will die before this season end. He's too horrible.

As a Rin fan, I say this:

Was this episode filler?

Yes.

Was this episode fanservice?

Yes.

However, it's the best fanservice/filler episode ever, and there is some character development as well.

4/5 for me, I understand you'd dislike it if you don't like Rin/have read the LN and didn't like the change though.

Pretty good!
4/5

Was so epic when Rin broke the bracelet! The music was just breathtaking!

I also liked how they squeezed Kariya into this episode so it wasn't 100% pointless. xD

Nice episode Rin save the day!

It was decent.

One of the better Flashbacks I have seen! =P

Flashback?

Rin - Cool and super cute . Epic combination

Great episode to have it pointed to a single character, and it was quite an interesting character if you ask me! Great episode loved it! Especially the dramatic ending!

I would think Rin was awesome but ... In F/SN she is a COMPLETE BITCH so ... Well anyways I guess it was an okay episode even if it was more of a side story / filler, at least I got to see a little of Berserker ... Though personally think Rider might be my favorite team.

It was filler mostly.The actual story is Rin going in Fuyuki,finding that alley an dbeing save by Kariya.She never found or saved anyone.

Was gonna rate this a 8/10 but this touching episode made it a 9 for me.

Too much Rin~~~
Ahh I can't handle it~~~

Rin is so adorable :) But she cannot surpass Ilya.

Didn't feel like filler at all to me but if they stretched it out from the novels like some of you are saying then I guess it is. Still really enjoyed it.

Seems like there's only two different sides. People who liked Rin from FSN and enjoyed seeing her past and those who didn't like her to begin with so don't want to see anymore of her lol.

It's not even stretching it out. This shit never even happened in the novels.
