Since she is less focused on defending Shirou and RIn, she takes the fight more seriously and uses more offensive approach.

In the VN, she only used Invisible Air and didn't dispel the wind. As such, her Rank C Noble Phantasm was doing nothing to Berserker's Rank B skin.

However, in the anime Saber released Invisible Air, and the sword underneath the sheath of wind has a Rank high enough to land a killing blow on Berserker.

first part makes sense

but she only released invisible air for the killing blow. before that the sword was still concealed and was going thru berserkers skin

Perhaps it's the laws of physics?

The sword did not pierce the skin instantly, instead it was slowly driven into the skin.

Imagine slashing a nail at a piece of wood - there'd be barely a scrach. However, if you hold it in one place and drive it in, the nail would certainly leave a deep enough mark to at least partially secure the nail.

Yes, but this is Illya's exact words, "Yes, I changed my mind. I don't care about Saber, but your Archer has piqued my interest." After Archer's arrow didn't do fuck all against Berserker and Saber just ripped Berserker a new one, you have to admit that is a little silly of a statement.

But I guess it's fair to say she might have been surprised that Archer's abilities didn't seem to be matching his stats whereas for Saber to do that much damage to Berserker, it was to be expected, so it is the mystery surrounding Archer's abilities that has caught her interest.

No matter how I look at it, Archer's explosive was a lot more impressive than Saber's attack. I think Illya viewed him as a sort of wild card at that point and, considering what he did in Fate while fighting Berserker, that was probably a good idea.

Note what Illya says at the start of the fight - she thinks ARcher and Rin have no way at hurting berserker and orders to focus on Saber, whom she expects to have an ability to at least kill Berserker once.

Then Archer interrupts her and rin's fight AND explodes the nuke.

Archer could and should have just killed Ilya. His standing there brain dead for 10 minutes (oh look, the camera is off me, people are too stupid to remember I exist, time to sleep!) renders the show's fights as being a pathetic waste of time. There is no point debating tiny details of them, it's just random nonsense.

There was almost 10 pages in the anime discussion thread where this was discussed in detail. And for all of the responses of people who are familiar with the characters and situation the answer was: No, Archer could not and would not kill Illya. You can go back and look there if you're not convinced.

So no, it's not all random nonsense, events had reasons for happening and not happening.

Hell, to add to this, if you go back and look at that particular scene, Illya is very clearly shown still in his sights but.......Archer stops aiming. The viewer should obviously be asking "why would he do that?".

This, really. Saber's attack are only B-rank at best with Invisible Air, even if she used

If she doesn't activate the NP, it will only land a B-rank attack.

Caliburn was activated. Using the joint power and prana of Shirou AND Saber - it shouldn't be classified as B-rank anymore - it past through GH, and was FULLY activated, like a full excaliblast, inside of him. Hence: death. Don't believe me? Ask literally everyone in BL. ;D

The main point of this thread is basically asking for an anime/original comparison. I really don't understand what a "normal" discussion is in this thread that doesn't involve original material. The spoiler tags even being here shows that the fanbase is actually trying to be sincere.

You need one of three things to pass through God Hand:

-A Rank magic
-A Rank strength
-A Rank Noble Phantasm

Which neither of the three Saber possessed or used. No, it doesn't matter at all if she is actually wielding Excalibur, she has a boundary field, a wind sheath, around it, so by all nerdy DnD talks' rights, there is no way she could pass through Berserker's concept. Unless Animation Material gives us the same bs explanation from Apocrypha, if we get an explanation at all.
