Irisviel just had to spoil the mood and bring her student back to earth by stating the unalterability of fate, didn't she? Even if it's the truth...

Overall, these specials really helped me to recall some basic knowledge of the Holy Grail Wars I've forgotten over the time.

The part where Iri and Zeechan circle around Assassin and point out his "mistakes" is hilarious.

There's still 12 more episodes of Fate/Zero so we will get 2-3 more of this specials. Hence, preview. Besides, didn't we get a pointless Taiga-sensei preview in the last Carnival Phantasm?

After Zayd-san Got Caught By The Shadow, Zayd-san Become The True Assassin In Fate/Stay Night Heaven's Feel Route. Seems Legit. :D

And yeah, Assassin is pretty much unappreciated, though he did shine in the HF route.
Glad to see some explanation to him. And I guess his wish is something new to us since they are Servants who have a wish as well to the Grail.

So freaking psyched now to the 2nd season tomorrow.

I loved these specials...I hope they continue these in season 2 of Fate Zero.

As for what happened to Zayd,



...that was one hell of a run-on sentence.

If anyone was wondering who the last Assassin that stuck out like a sore thumb while Zayd was explaining the Hundred-Faced Hassan;

I've always wondered: Is Zayd and the True Assassin from Heaven's Feel one and the same? Their designs are nearly identical (though there isn't really much room for diversity here) so that always had me curious.

Indeed, it was pretty damn funny.

They aren't although he does share a lot of elements. Actually, considering Nasu wrote the specials I dare say "Zayd" is his way of referencing True Assassin (considering there's no Heavens Feel anime anywhere as of right now). I mean, he even went as far as revealing to everyone who sees this particular special that All Assassins are Hassan-i Sabbah hence he's obviously revealing "Assassin" from Fate/Stay Night is a fake.

Poor Assassin. He is the unluckiest in 4th grail :(
There is like 2 weeks delay in my recent reading list
I randomly bought discount/second hand manga with cute/mysterious cover.

Very nice to learn things about Assassin, like the most people, I didn't really appreciate him during the War. It's because, it is the only servant without information and flashback about him.

Good OVA :)

Iri using Caster's demons as ingredients when she was cooking... yeah, probably that was something Kerry didn't teach you xD

Another nice Special. That "walking in circles" reference was really funny.

Oh I see it now, so that girl is actually Taiga?

Anyway, we learn what happens to servant after they loose in the war, and more about Assassin.

Pretty nice episode.

Zayd: There's no Assassin more assassin-like than me.
Me: Couldn't agree more, after seeing UBW.
He who smiles in a crisis has found someone to blame.
