| Kotomine is a sadistic ass. And I love him for it. |
Lumathy said: BloodRequiem said: Lumathy said: so Kirei finally did it, dat smirk of him was creepy as hell. flashback next ep, hope they won't drag it the whole ep though. the flashback thing isnt like the rin bs its actually legit important yeah I know what those flashbacks are important for ppl to understand Kiritsugu, just personally not a fan of whole ep flashback. if handled nicely flashbacks can turn really good.I hate them too when they are unnecessary(Like naruto in the last chapters) |
| Great episode but I expected more from Tokiomi's death. I feel like his end could've been done better, and not hearing the inner thoughts of characters is also a big problem. Gilgamesh was able to accomplish his goal and unleash Kotomines true nature. Can't wait until next episode though, really looking forward to Kiritsugu's past |

| I loved how Kirei and Gilgamesh were teasing each other :) Tokiomi's dying face was priceless but I do feel bad for him. He was a good father. |
| A word of thanks to Kotomine Kirei... He makes Kiritsugu look like a true hero LoL. I loved every minute of Kotomine's two-faced plan, he really made the story that much more exciting. Not to mention, he has the most powerful Gilgamesh as his right hand too now. That scene with Tokiomi and Rin parting was kind of sad, I knew Tokiomi was going to get killed, it was just a matter of how. His ideal student stabbing him in the back with the same gift he bought for him, how evil. (In an entertaining way) Also...FINALLY, we will get a full out flashback on Emiya Kiritsugu. I was waiting for this since the first episode and a lot of unanswered theories of mine will finally be accounted for. I can't wait. Iri-kun and Maiya's conversation was kind of disheartening. Although, now I see why Kiritsugu had her tagging along Saber all this time. He killed two birds with one stone; the first being keeping his identity a secret and the second was prolonging his beloved's health. I respect that man to endless means. Oh yeah, SAAYBA ON A BIKE FTW! |

But yeah not knowing the inner thoughts is a turn off since it showed that Tokiomi is not a bad father. |

SIGH there is no lancelot vs hercules battle just using it to prove hercules' feats thats why i still recommend the game cuz that website isnt meant for a substitute for the original source but more like a reference in debates |
| As a child, I was told that society is a melting pot of talents; knowledge and experience combined to form important alloys that will contribute to mankind. When I got to highschool, however, I thought that it's more like a river in which the water represents our peers while we ourselves are the stones in the river. Constant erosion by mindless majority sheeping has made us lose our unique edge. After I hit the age of 18, I realized that I've been wrong all along. Society is no melting pot. Society is no river. Society is a person, a very skilled rapist, and he has fucked us all. |
| Kirei is da shit, nuff said! |
 |
| Lol the dagger Rin coveted all that time was the dagger that killed her father. |

 |
| Haha, that was great. I knew he was going to betray Tokiomi sooner or later but the execution of it was fantastic. He's one of the few antagonists in anime that are truly interesting and exciting, probably more than any other character in the show aside from Rider and the King of Heroes himself. This is getting more and more interesting, can't wait to see how the final battle will play out as it draws closer. |
 |
| Awesome episode, from build-up to the great finale, from sounds&music to direction, the whole episode was on another level. Can't understand why people complain about the lack of action when there are such intellectual conversations and decent plot-development etc. Anyway, the series is around my "10 points radar" for the time being. Moreover, it's only getting better and better! |
   |
| Finally. We just got Kotomine Kirei in all his glory. |
| Hehe, that smirk kinda looked like Alucard's... fitting, since the seiyuu is the same after all |
| Kirei is...terrifying. I'd hate to be in Kiritsugu's shoes right now. I don't think he was expecting this turn of events. Great stuff as usual. Not as good as last week's; though, I wasn't expecting it to be. Tokiomi's ultimate demise at the hands of Kirei is something most of us have been anticipating for quite some time. The series never tried to hide this from us obviously, so much so that I wonder if I would have enjoyed it more had it been a little less foreshadowed. Perhaps it would have been more shocking? I don't know. Still, it was inevitable and the entire scene was directed very well. As always, Urobuchi's dialogue for Kirei and Gilgamesh is some of his best work. On a side note, I can't exactly say I understand why Kirei wanted to kill his own father. Looking through this thread, a few posts mentioned that he was crying over his father's body in the original light novel(too bad it was omitted here), so perhaps the anime didn't make this clear enough? Was he scornful toward him because his father never understood him? Alas...the agonizing wait for next Saturday begins again. =( |

| Saber's got herself a motorcycle and she looks so cool with it and the suit. Now Kotomine seems much more dangerous than I originally thought that will be Tokiomi. |
  |
| Tokiomi's death didn't came as a surprise at all and it went so easily it's almost disappointing to watch he didn't even have his guard up and supplied the weapon for his own death. And poor Rin will be deluded for a long time now believing that the one training her helped her father. This also renders the pact Irysviel and Tokioma made useless. |
| Best episode so far I think. I prefer the heavy dialogue episodes a lot more than the action ones. Anyway, I just noticed I totally love Gilgamesh's design for some reason. The detail on his pants is fabulous tbf. |
| I have a question for the other LN readers:Did they change the end of Maiya's line in the anime or was there a translation error?From what I can hear Maiya say I think that the translation is correct.So was it a mistake in the LN? |
ssjokgApr 29, 2012 5:17 AM
| Despite the fact that Tohsaka's death was not surprising as Gilgamesh was already leading Kirei up to it, and it was only a matter of time when Kirei decided to betray, what was scary or creepy was the sudden change in Kirei who turned from sideline self-exploration to cruel offense. I mean, that expression was... eek. Gave me the heebiejeebies. Yeah, obviously Gilgamesh and Kirei do make a better pair. Let's see what their strategy entails. Iri's gonna die soon? Baw... Saber on bike! Yeeehaw!! =D Well.. looks like the killing spree is just starting now that Kirei is in the game in full force.. |

| When you get backstab by Kirei it doesn't happen just metaphorically. Kirei saved the life of Kariya in a previous episode. I believe he did it for entertainment because he probably thought it would have been fun seeing him annoying Tokiomi again but now that things changed and he had to kill Tokiomi, Kariya might end up becoming a big obstacle to him. Tokiomi may seem pathetic to some but he was actually quite perfect. His problem ended up being having an arrogant servant that wants to be amused. In a way the flawed one was actually Gilgamesh. Tokiomi was a machine at doing what he set out to do and probably getting back-stabbed and betrayed like that was the only way to lose. Because of his perfection in magic duties and machine like logic he seemed boring to Gilgamesh that in a way initiated the whole betrayal. For Gilgamesh entertainment seems to be more important than effectiveness. Besides is not like it's his wish that will get realized so why would he care about getting the grail that much if there is no amusement in it. Hakuromatsu said: It still irks me to see Tokiomi behave that way with Rin after what he did to Sakura. I can't even say he got what was coming to him by being killed by Kirei; I would've rather Kariya be the one to kill him. I don't think his behavior has to do anything with simple parent love. His obsessed with magic. His affection for her is probably more as a future magician member of the family. |

| Saber's got a motorcycle! Looking cool Bet Kirei's going to go after Irisviel soon |
| Tokiomi lacked the malice to come thorugh in this war. Has the backstory of Kotomine and the Einzberns been explained? I feel I'm missing something here. |

| Kirei is so ebil Not that much action with all the conversations, but still good to watch |
| Kirei's such a badass. |

Iri refers to what happened when Kotomine attacked her and Maiya during season 1.She just used her family's name to persuade Tokiomi.Tokiomi never learnt what happened in the forest |

| Amazing episode. While I saw it coming all the way, still it was nicely executed. I cannot join in these conversations because it is no more an Anime Discussion Thread. I hope MAL had a VN discussion thread. Anyways. 5/5 for this episode. |

I love Tokiomi as a character, and as a magus, but not as a human being. |
| Kirei finally showed his true face !! |
 |
| Another perfect episode. Strayed from the LN a little bit but still executed perfectly. Kiritsugu's back story is next. Should be perfect. |

| I must say, this keeps me entertained. I like all the schemes Emiya and Kirei pull. Heck it entertaines me even more than the fights. I kinda feel sorry for the heroic spirits though. They are too pure in heart to deserve such masters as Emiya, Kayneth or Kirei. |

So why hasn't he won a grail war in a day during those moments of seriousness? |
