I've got some questions can somebody please help?
In the episode Kirei was saying how if you kill the master the servant will vanish as well so it's quickest to kill the master. But then he goes on to say as long as you have your command seals even after your servant dies, you can take over someone else's servant when their master dies. Doesn't that completely contradict itself? How do you take someone else's servant when they will disappear with their master?

Also Kirei said the Grail is incomplete unless all but one master remains alive. Doesn't that go against what Rin said that you don't need to kill Master to participate in the holy grail war? Kind of defeats the purpose doesn't it? Sounds like they are just involved for the fun of it from Rin's explanation/perspective.

Please no spoilers I've only seen Fate/zero and this. If gets revealed later on just let it at that please. Thanks

They don't disappear immediately, Servants store and consume mana but without a stream of mana from their master fighting/using abilities will eventually cause them to disappear.

If you have a look at the servant status thread you can see that some classes have abilities that allow themselves to remain for extended periods of time as-well.

And your second question is answered in the Heaven's Feel adaption, which is in production.

As it was explained in Ep0 and this episode, the Master is essentially servant's mana source and mana is what the servant functions on.

If to portray it as a candle in a room full of oxygen, the candle would be the servant and the oxygen would be mana the master provides. If there's limited amount of oxygen, it will eventually run out and candle will stop burning. So would it not be easier to make sure the supply of oxygen is cut off to the room, than to risk getting burned by the candle?

You don't need to kill masters, but as both Rin and Kirei said - its the easiest way to deal with it, as servants are generally quite powerful, while master - but a human.

You technically need only one servant to be alive, as said in this episode. Kirei and RIn both simply explained in different ways it can be achieved - you either outright defeat servants or you chose the easier way and kill the masters, which would eventually kill servants too.

As it was said in this episode -its the endgame that matters - that there's only one servant left to grab the fully complete grail.

Whether that's enough or how and when grail completes itself is left ambiguous(for now), but Kirei seems to firmly believe that the Master must prove himself worthy of it and not simply "survive through" the war.

All routes are from Shirou's perspective with occasional Rin POV(since Rin is the deuteragonist in all the routes).

Going by what the priest said in episode while it varies, it is usually WAY longer than ~10 years.

Will be explained in next route, and possibly this route...I think, normally it's 60yrs time span.

I feel like they should've kept in the former. I mean, it's nice to have it for the BDs, but the less-than-patient viewers did kinda need a cool scene to liven up all the exposition that would come later.

You want more Rin?
Then you've come to the right place, just that you'll have to wait a little more... but even so, Shirou is the protagonist so you will see him a lot, and I think(?) you'll get to change your view about Shirou in this adaptation.

I would honestly be very interested in what exactly annoys you so much. I mean, his thoughts are often filled with sarcasm and snarks. Unlike Team Red, he is polite enough to keep his mouth shut about these things most of the time though.

I only read half of the Fate route yet, maybe he changes later, but now he is way too overprotective, selfless, just mister perfect. I wish he would be more egocentrical, even a little more evil, since these type of characters tend to be most interesting from POV. But maybe he will change, what am I ranting.

Or Kazama Yuuji (in Grisaia no Kajitsu).

Anyway, most people hates Shirou during first Fate route, and I can precisely see why.
But if you hate him in the beginning you will slowly grow to like him overtime until in the end you couldn't imagine he would be any different. This goes even further in Ataraxia where there are many hillarious scenes with him (and where you can clearly see how much Nasu's writing improved).

Finally seen the episode. Just about what I expected from it, infodump + that Illya and Berserker tease at the end. Even so, I didn't feel bored at all (can't feel bored when you have Jouji Nakata talking through almost the whole episode, plus those Rin faces).

Some observations (under spoiler because somewhat long):



Very much looking forward to the next episode (Saturday looks so close yet so far).
UBW is basically a route about three tsunderes constantly bashing their heads against one another.

Ignoring your comments about Shirou, you'll get a lot of Rin. You always get a lot of Rin no matter the route.

Nah, no really, when you think about it. Archer & Shirou are dominating this route till Ufo decided to make her 'true heroine' or whatever they said.

Woah there huge error in one part


Yeah, I forgot, I was mostly focusing on the ladies, because that's what every MF care about, no?( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Though it's more so like


True. She gets more screen time than the other girls added together, that's my point with 'if she died in Fate, she would no longer have that title'. Overall in FSN, the people with the most screen time

Shirou > Rin >Saber. Rin still gets screen time in the routes cos:

>Nothing makes her disappear all of a sudden like Saber in HF & UBW

>She doesn't die randomly

>She has little to no problems, so she doesn't make a good heroine but she make a good best friend for Shirou; someone who helps him.

Ofc Rin has more screen timi

It actually started deviating from the end of the last episode, when Shirou used Command Spell to stop Saber from attacking Archer. Their visit to the glorious Rejoice-sama is somewhat final part of the common part of all three routes.

EDIT: Yuss, I sniped and got sniped at the same time!

It already happened if you didn't notice. Saber delivers a bad wound to Archer if Shirou doesn't stop her with a Command Spell.
