| So Rin sacrifices her Servant to protect Shirou. And now one of the better characters is dead. Screw this shit. |
| Damn, that was one epic episode. Archer was always quite badass, but he just now went to a whole new level. The bow, the unlimited blades, the engrish...all pretty sick. After pulling out all the stops I actually thought he was gonna win. Too bad killing Berserker 5 times wasn't enough. RIP. Rin...why the hell would she sacrifice Archer to save Shirou? |

linnaes said: Could she know the fact that Shirou would turn out to be him in the future and why she's always training him in reinforcing stuff...?? And the fact that Archer is always giving hints at him is to prepare him for what lies ahead.Rin...why the hell would she sacrifice Archer to save Shirou? Unlimited blade works was a great finishing for this great weapons master! |
| So far the most epic episode in this series. UNLIMITED BLADE WORKS! Archer killed Hercules FIVE times! The only problem was that Hercules seems to have more than one life which is BULLSH*T. I really want to see Shirou create the sword he kept envisioning in his dreams. It would be so dope. Maybe Rin will be able to summon Archer again as her servant. Who knows... |
  |
| isn't that the title of the movie ? If only the studio used the money on actual animation rather than on epic musics. Archer has a gay name, he should be named Blade or Sword or something instead. |
 |
| Rip Archer, what an awesome character to bad wanted to know more about the unknown servant. |
Itachi_0893 said: Not quite. In the game Shirou picks the pendant, that still had some magical energy. Archer gives her the pendant he picked up when he was still Shirou. The anime merely skipped that part since the Fate route never uses that plot point. It's important only in UBW and HF.How the hell Archer had the pendant, in the visual novel, he grabs the pendant and return it to Rin. |
 |
| If Archer is a future Shirou, then the advice he keeps giving to current Shirou is presumably based on fS's knowledge of what cS needs to survive. A couple of other observations: |
Please don't feed the trolls! In my next life I want to collide at the corner with the cute transfer student carrying a piece of toast in her mouth...rodac |
| Poor Archer. I can't believe that he's dead. ;_; Damn, why most of the time my favorite characters die? |
| Wow, i really didn't see that happening... Unlimited blade works was really good, they also didn't drag anything out like some shounen does which made it even better. :D |
 |
| Awesome episode! Sucks that Archer lost the fight. Just when I was starting to like him. :( |
 |
| I liked this little expansion on something that was never actually seen in the Fate route, though I realize there is also no way the VN could have shown this scene as well. Anyway, a really good episode and definitely the highlight of the series thus far. |

| Great episode... I will be missing Archer in the next episodes... Anyway, the series are amusing, I can`t stop watching... |
| Archer proved himself to be quite the bad ass this episode. I was really impressed with him actually and wished he hadn't faded away into oblivion once again after showing himself to be such a grand opponent. I wish Hercles had died. D:< I still can't believe only TWO servants of the seven had died. How is this going to work out with only ten episodes left. On to the next one to find out, eh? |
| I knew it!!! I knew that was who archer was! great episode!!! I cant believe Archer died though :'( he was a bad ass. I really hate Ilya and Berserker for doing that. I hope Berserkers death is a painful one! -_- Poor Rin!!! She pretty much sacrificed her chances at the holy grail to save Shirou and Saber. If thats not friendship i dont know what is. I cant believe Archer actually died though, i figured he would have lasted at least till the end of the series. I wonder whats going to happen next. |
| An awesome episode but it's totally lame that Archer is just dead now. He really didn't even end up getting to do that much in the series. First half should have featured him more. Wonder what Rin's role is gonna be now that she isn't a master any more. |
| Harems don't exist in America. If one guy is constantly surrounded by beautiful girls, then he's probably the gay friend. |
| Aww man, they actually killed off Archer! D=. They just had to save the idiot! |
 "I like to expose what people hide. I'm an intellectual rapist." - Furudo Erika |
| Its awful that archer died! I really liked him. He was rude but gave very good advice to Emiya. He was epic and that endless blade workshop was awesome! We never did get to find out who he really was though... too bad for Tosaka- at least Emiya and Saber aren't her enemys anymore! |
 |
| Quite awesome episode if I say so my self, damn Archer is gone and I wonder what's up with him. The ed was also changed to reveal something more to Archers personality! The episode in general was quite decent these last are rather good perhaps they finally have a proper setting to get the story going? Lets see what's next in the coming 10 episodes! |
 |
| easily best episode so far, or maybe I would say this is the only one "great" or even "good" episode so far, 13 episodes before this is looked lame to me ... |
"The Slave is the have-not, the oppressed one with nothing to spare. But because the Slave is in that despairing situation, having nothing, it can kill the Emperor !" |
| Once again Shirou doesn't wake up, and now Archer has died because of him. Shirou better get with the program and start acting or everyone around him will die and he'll continue to use talk no jutsu to try to win. |
 |
| I expected something amazing from those Unlimited Blades but it was a huge letdown. Atleast the battle was pretty good. |
 |
ownosourus said: Letdown?If you mean that they never showed the fight then you are lucky to see all that since in the original you never see Archer fighting Berserker and there was no UBW at all in the VN,it skips straight to the result.If you mean the reslut then...WHAT?A "no name" hero killed the strongest Servant 5 times(6 in the VN).I expected something amazing from those Unlimited Blades but it was a huge letdown. At least the battle was pretty good. |
| Archer's english chants were in perfect english, creepy (in a good way), and damn right amazing. T^T Don't die on us archer please be alive. I swear all this was caused by Shirou not letting Saber devour at least one soul. One soul and Saber and Archer could have teamed up and defeated Beserker. But noo Shirou was too goody two shoes for that |

And Archer's chant was in perfect engrish. |
| Well, shit. I wasn't expecting Archer to die. I was hoping there would be a epic battle between him and Saber. |
| lol in the beginning when shiro untie himself then someone get in the room and she is saber.. I was think he was going to beat her lol XD well finally some cool fighting scene again :3 nice fight :D oh no! in the end archer dead.. I'm feeling sad for him.. rin dont sad yeah.. :) |
MarcusSensory1 said: That is because he is a main in Unlimited Blade Works.And well.... he is ALWAYS the main character in a way...Dang it I liked Archer a lot and I figured he'd be a pretty main character but he was just sidelined until now. Still, it was awesome to see be a bamf for at least one episode. |
| R.I.P. ARCHER. One of my favourite servants. |
| An interesting episode to say the least. |
| So as I pray, Unlimited Blade Works. Epic end to epic Servant. I am glad this got animated cause we can't see actual fight in the game as Shirou is running away with others and at that moment we only get his point-of-view. Archer is badass and defeated him five times but Berserker is Berserker, he needs to die twelve-times. And we also got new ending. This episode really was one big farewell to this servant in red. |

| Noooo archer. TT^TT You can't leave Rin? :< |
| The Fight was really nice, but its a shame that archer already died. I think from now on the show will be interessting |
| The best character dies GG :D I am wondering what Rin will do now. |
 |
| I didn't get how Archer's powers really worked and he's dead already, how could this happen. I never expected Tohsaka to actually give up on her Servant AND dream just to save Shiro. He must be grateful to her all his life now................ **** Heracles I don't know if I should watch this anymore, as Archer was the best character and about the only one I actually cared for. The ending song was great though. |

| So I get it this was part of the UBW route? Didn't think Archer would die that early, couldn't Rin just called him back by using one command sign? |
Gator said: So I get it this was part of the UBW route? Didn't think Archer would die that early, couldn't Rin just called him back by using one command sign? No but the Berserker fight was anime original. That is, it's not shown in the VN, we leave off without seeing it, and only know the results. And it's unlikely he used UBW in the VN. |

Ah okay, so it is actually part of Stay Night minus the fight. Thanks :) |
