Amazing battles! Just epic! Especially Saber vs Berserker.
And I like Gilgamesh's Noble Phantasm. Have a feeling that the last battle would be Saber vs Gilgamesh.

This.

Loved the fact that Berserker turned out to be Lancelot. Just watched the film 'Excalibur' the other day so I can totally picture how Lancelot could be chosen to fill the role of a Berserker.

The fight sequences were brilliant. I like how they are building up the tension for the inevitable Kiritsugu/Kirei. And Ayako Kawasumi really must be forcing those vocal chords every time Saber swings her sword. Love her work.

Only letdown this episode is how ridiculously overpowered Gilgamesh is. I mean just for the sake of dramatic tension couldn't Riders sword at least scratch his little finger? I mean Rider has been built up to be a pretty powerful and complete servant. It's almost 'Deus ex machina' the power that Gilgamesh used on him.


He had those weapons before F/Z was even written... so they aren't classified as a deus ex machina because they didn't just come out of nowhere without previous explanations.

Also...Saber vs Berserker. I'm pretty sure it has been more than 11 seconds since Berserker drew Arondight...
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.

Maybe you should read the complete novel instead of using parts of it taken out of context and LOLZ wiki.
In terms of that fight:

In terms of survival: Kirei outlives Kiritsugu
In terms of wishes: Kirei gets his granted
In terms of ideologies: F/SN and F/Z throws a massive load of shit in Kiritsugu's direction

So he basically won, because he was bastardly enough to

GREAT moral victory for our protagonist if I may say so....

And Kirei didn't play fair with Tokiomi because Tokiomi knew too damn well he stood no chance against experienced Executor and would have forced Gilgamesh to defeat Kirei. So Kirei simply prevented him from doing so. And what priest killing are you talking about? Risei? He was killed by Kayneth.

Great episode for me. Lol @ Waver's battle cry. Waver and Rider had a great relationship and it's hard not to feel bad for Waver at the end of the episode.

When they started talking about Berserker's true identity in this episode, I had a feeling it would be Lancelot and sure enough it was. I wonder if Saber would try to defeat him by getting him to remember his past.

Berserker would be able to make Ea his own IF he ever got to touch it.

and about the novel: I read it and I know myself that Kiritsugu was humiliated by the author, but don't forget who's the author: that guy literally can describe a situation like this: Kiritsugu used the command seal on Saber while she was fighting Gilgamesh into this:

Saber was almost dead and bleeding badly and then the bastard Kiritsugu rapes her with the command seal and destroys her soul by this.

That's the difference and you should be well aware of it.

It's not that Kerry doesnt have good moments or that most of us hate him.And thinking about it when he did that with Saber ,it was the best he could do.I mean FZ fans would hate him if he hadnt.Kerry isnt bad but Kirei, even if he is a big bastard, happens to be cooler than him.It wasnt Gen's fault or their final fight.Overall you can say that Kirei i scooler than Kerry

Now I agree completely. Kirei is indeed cooler in terms of fighting and evilness, but what I was saying is that Kiritsugu got a bit of a better personality and better Master and overall in terms how he played his role in Fate/Zero. I'm not even arguing about Kirei being cooler than Kiritsugu because if I have to choose one of them in a fight (where Kiritsugu has no Avalon), I'd say Kirei wins (may be not that easily, but wins) Kiritsugu.
However my point was still about overall effectiveness and role in Fate/Zero, where hands down - Kiritsugu wins imo

Yeah you can say that if Kiritsugu wasnt participating in the 4th war Kirei wouldnt be like that.He found a reason to be in the war in the existence of Kiritsugu.He probably would be messing around with Kariya anyway but without Kiritsugu he would lack something.

About the whole Kiritsugu versus Kirei debate:

1. Deciding which character is cooler or more interesting than another based upon power levels is just silly, especially since both of them would get wrecked by any Servant other than, perhaps, 5th War Hassan, including 4th War Hassan. Neither of them are even the most powerful humans; Ciel would destroy both of them.

Sadly Alexander vs Gilgamesh was underwhelming. Him having a weapon that eactly counters Riders phantasm is a little bit to much of an asspull. I know he is supposed to be overpowered, but that doesn't mean i have to like it.

I figured Berserker is gonna be Lancelot, they weren't really subtle about it.

With this series almost done i gotta say i prefer this a ton over Stay/Night. The characters are a lot more likeable. While i don't think it's a 10/10 masterpiece liek the hype suggests, it's a good and enjoyable show.

3/5
I liked the Berserker vs Saber fight, but Gil vs Alexander drags this episode down.


Well put. These are mostly my feelings as well. My score for this episode too. A bit of a drop off after the previous two episodes. I don't think that it was a fitting end for Iskander, who has been a great and stalwart character throughout the two seasons. As a rule, suicide charges are tedious. And I fail to see the point in Kotomine reciting the psalms, just as I still fail to see the point of the two episode diversion into Kiritsugu's youth.

Not sure what's up with Kariya in this episode. How is he being haunted, and why?

Finally, I'd be more appreciative of du Lac if he didn't have his teeth filed. It diminishes what is otherwise a pretty good character design. But I'm glad that his helmet is finally off and the next stage of the story can be told.

Atleast Gilgamesh Respects the other Kings! even trying to test Waver's loyalty to Rider even though Gilgamesh already knew that he was the master of Rider!..

This episode is just so epic! the way Rider ran while it was raining weapons from Gate of Babylon was like a Movie!

Rider is going to be missed :( and 2 more episodes of this one of the Best Shows ever...! :(

But still, Gilgamesh was epic on this too and just love how they make him all gold and shiny and he had this respect to Rider too, not really bad!

Apart from the hallucination Kariya was like this in the LN:

Kariya did not even know what this place was. At first he had been in icy darkness, but now he felt a strange heat, and even breathing was difficult. He thought he smelled something burning; perhaps it was his own body that had been burned, but that didn’t matter. In any case his body could not move; what was most important now was Berserker’s fight—and— saving Sakura.
Sakura—ah, he would really like to see her one more time. He would really like to see that child.
But not Rin; he couldn’t see her. He mustn’t see her—no, but why was that, again?
Even thinking made him feel pain. His brain, his consciousness and his soul were all being crushed.
There was something strange. It seemed that something important had happened. Something was wrong.
Though he had become aware that something was different, Kariya’s thoughts were quickly caught up once again in endless torment.
It hurt—
There was only pain. And suffering—

So they will probably add

Gilgamesh behaved pretty stupid in that battle. He should have Gate of Babylon'ed Saber the moment she stepped out the barrier or Enkidu'd her.

Avalon is not a barrier, EA can't even compare to it. No matter how powerful EA look, it's only affect this world (three and fourth dimension, space and time) while Avaalon transcend to sixth dimension. It was most powerful existence in Nasu's universe.

I'm taking about it nature not what it was called. Read other part too, it can do more than defence. And you even know what five sorceries are.

Gilgamesh behaved pretty stupid in that battle. He should have Gate of Babylon'ed Saber the moment she stepped out the barrier or Enkidu'd her.

Avalon is not a barrier, EA can't even compare to it. It was most powerful existence in Nasu's universe.


From the wiki:

It IS a barrier.
Let me add that this was a interesting description whom I never though of Avalon like that. Hence so it looks to be the only thing against Gilgamesh, correct? Or is there something else?

In Fate we have Fragarach, in Nasuver, many.

Rider is the only so far to have died a honorable, satisfactory death imo. The emotional impact and dialogue that this episode had was spectacular. Truly the best episode I've seen so far in F/Z. I liked Gilgamesh better in F/Z than F/SN. At least here he wasn't a total jackass.

Didn't like this episode. Gil/Rider was pretty one sided and underwhelming for all that build up. Kinda liked the Saber/Lancelot fights I guess.

Loved a one sided fight like this, although I expected Rider to at least land a scratch...But in retrospect this adds more sense of despair towards the finale.

I should add that Kirei indeed IS cooler than Kiritsugu.It is the ugly truth for those of us that hate Kirei and have some sympathy for Kerry.


Shirou would probably hate his dad if he met him in Fate/Zero, since he's basically Archer only worse.

While he likes Kirei. LOL. Yeah, the story is pretty biased towards Kotomine because Nasu likes him (favorite FSN male character). Truth hurts.

To be fair, Shirou dies more than Gilgamesh and he's the main character (yeah, bad ends and dead ends are canon).

Neither of them are even the most powerful humans; Ciel would destroy both of them.


Nasu said F/Z!Kirei with Command Spells will probably defeat Ciel. He never does it against Kiritsugu battle, but he can become Servant-level with ten of those. His original plan against True Assassin battle was to let him keep some and utterly crush him using it (which he almost did without them...)

I have to say when it came to dialog and just being awesome Rider was def the one that stood out and of course I knew he was going to die, he is def memorable. Archer really cheated with that magic wand sword of his but that's war I guess.

As for berserker, finally he has been revealed. I was pretty shocked but this just make things all the more interesting. Hoping for a longer fight scene between him and Saber

Gilgamesh wouldn't use Ea against Bazett unless she's Prisma Illya Bazett who is an overpowered monster who can defeat Servants with her bare fists and would have killed Gilgamesh there if wasn't for his regeneration factor...

Or if you mean, have a competent Servant who warrants Ea team up with her. Then yes, Fragarach would have taken care of Gilgamesh the moment he uses Ea.

There was no really despair. I suggest you to read the novel chapter of this fight. It's an explicit good end if a little bittersweet. Rider got what he wanted, was satisfied (for now). Waver and him are bonded due to the oath, etc. Waver understands he'll be added to his ranks and he has to work hard to warrant the praise. That he isn't alone anymore.

Separation is meaningless.

By the way, this is the reason why people kept speculating about that Waver-lookalike inside Ionian Hetairoi, because Waver officially joined Rider's ranks here, and Epic Heroes exist outside of time...

Yeah and even if you have read FZ+FSN ,if you do not see his appearance(10 years later) in the character material you probably wont see the similarity.

So sad, Gilgamesh is full of Hax, just like Sasuke
Iskander died like a tied up Gladiator
Lancelots identity didn't gave enough impact onscreen
Maybe some story background on the next episode would enlighten that

True. Rider had the best end that a servant could ask for in FZ (I mean, look at Lancer!!) All that left from now on is despair and more despair.

sooo when other servants use their NPs it's normal but when Gil use his NP it's "cheating"? wut?
