| Saber got rekt just like she needed to be. Kuzuki best man. The projection sequence was gorgeous too, but I do realize it would've been even better if there'd been at the very least a tiny bit of foreshadowing in the previous episodes. Nevermind, still great. And I agree with Maerow : ufo's Shirou looks terrifically good, but without that "generic bishie" vibe anime boys who're supposed to be attractive usually give off. |

| Holy shit, this was good episode. Kuzuki sensei just cleaning them up like trash. And shirou, using projection was pretty badass. 5/5. |

| The dream was pretty damn cool, but it would've been better if it'd been Archer saying the chant in English. The flashbacks looked awesome. The fact that Rin said the chant was kind of interesting in its own way though, because it emphasizes the fact that she'd seen it in her dreams before. Like other people, I think the animation of Shirou's projection was a bit too flashy and he twisted a bit too much. It could have looked amazing if they'd been more subtle - they could have shown his magical circuits briefly, then them going crazy inside his body, and his body trembling or something. His limbs jerking and thrashing around didn't look too good. Still, that moment was really epic. Maybe a bit of a shounen-like development for those who haven't read Fate, but I don't care about that. This episode wasn't that faithful to the novel - like Rin eavesdropping scene, which didn't take place in the novel -, but it was great anyway. Maybe they wanted to keep that part short to fit it all in. I mean, they even skipped the op this time around. VanishingKira said: Nice,a good episode for once. Asspull by Shirou but whatever since it fit the intense atmosphere and was actually awesome (and got me excited) for once.Reminded me/reminiscence of the vibes I had watching F/Z. Not really. I mean, yeah, you could argue there wasn't enough foreshawdoing as an anime viewer, but that's nothing new for those who read Fate. The projection technique is presented and showcased extensively in Fate - which you must read before UBW in the novel - along with the fact that Shirou can perform it. In other words, it looks like an asspull only if you skipped Fate. UBW is the second part of the novel, which wasn't written for anime viewers. So basically, you could critize the adaptation, but the story as a whole (Fate + UBW + HF) is perfectly fine in that regard. |

Forgetfulness said: On a side note I really didn't like the faces this episode. Saber getting choked, Shirou w/ a bloody nose and messed up eye, etc. Well I guess that's only how it should be, but eh....his Projection was harder to take seriously for me :/ I think the lightning had more to do with me not taking his Tracing as seriously, but eh, to each his own lol. |

| Sensei and his lessons... |

| It's a good thing that Kuzuki only had to fight a little girl. If I fought him instead of Saber, his ass would get kicked so fast, you would think he's Kiritsugu. |

I am the Priest of my church Yuetsu is my body, and wine is my blood I have trolled over a thousand users Unknown to sympathy, nor known to apathy Withstood Shirou to eat Mapo Tofu Yet, my question will never be answered So as I rejoice, Unlimited Kirei Works! |
| Shirou vs Kuzuki was definitely the best part of the chapter. The animation, soundtrack and build up for that moment was incredible. Besides that, Archer's flashback and sexy-blonde-who-cannot-be-named-here appearance were the highlights of the episode. Certainly a lot better than last week one and it will only get better from here if they keep the quality that they have shown thus far. |

Yeah. In VN it felt emotional and desperate. In this it was like they just copied over something from nardo. |

| I haven't read the VN, but only the UBW movie before. |
Rayster said: I haven't read the VN, but only the UBW movie before. Well the VN route is 30+ hours long and they tried to condense that into a less than 2 hour long movie, I'd say they were doomed to fail and leave out important details from the start. |
| Saber has magic resistance yet Caster still insists on finishing her off.. yet doesn't actually finish her off. Just stands there and does nothing. Cool. Where is Archer? D: When he said he's going to watch over her from the shadows until she's herself again was he actually willing to just watch her die? |
| the official MAL hall of fame/cursed comments is now open for business - you are welcome to PM me any potential quotes to include |
| Ah I see, using the element of surprise they injured saber with the first blow. Makes more sense right u_u Have mixed feelings about shirou going super saiyan 2. Mongrels should know what was the best part of the episode. |
 |
Rayster said: I haven't read the VN, but only the UBW movie before. The movie is in complete disorder like Rider first apparition and her death happen at the same time and before the Archer vs Caster ( and the movie is rushed and bad) |

If they didn't skip the OP, then it definitely was the site, but they episode is 23 minutes and 40 seconds long, just like any other episode... so they DID make it longer. And yeah, I remember quite well Issei didn't say anything about caster in the other episode. My point is, they didn't need to change the scene like that because they still talk about her again anyway iirc. So my guess is they wanted to keep things shorter and thought that change was fitting. |

| At this point, we're gonna need the OP to include a "Don't say the blonde man's name!" in his post. @_@ |
| And I mean that in the most sexually painful way possible. |
| What a fantastic episode. Loved every minute of the series so far. Every little bit of it. Infinitely times better than the original adaption, no doubt. I'm starting to even like this more than Zero, but I can't be too sure yet. They're about even right now for me. |

D: When he said he's going to watch over her from the shadows until she's herself again was he actually willing to just watch her die? She had a plan for Saber, having to do with her dagger which will be revealed eventually. Also those events actually occur around the same time, with Kuzuki's fight being more fast paced than Caster approaching Saber, so she was distracted by it and didn't have time to execute said plan. Rin said she left Archer at home; to keep him away from Caster (and Shirou). |
| This gotta hurt :( |
| I like the fact that Shirou is showing that much concern for Rin. I felt his attraction towards her was missing in the previous episode near Sakura's house. |

D: When he said he's going to watch over her from the shadows until she's herself again was he actually willing to just watch her die? We can only assume Caster and Saber froze in time during that battle. Jokes aside, even if it's no excuse, you'll understand more about Caster as the story goes on. Since this is not a visual novel, the only option you guys have is to be patient and wait. If you pay attention to the conversation between Rin and Archer, you'll see more than one reason for Rin not to bring him along. She doesn't say those things to Shirou when he asks her about that though, so you could say they're subtle reasons, but they're clearly there. |

Oh yeah in the VN, Shirou's reasoning for coming out quickly to face Caster is because if he didn't she would destroy the entire area if he didn't come sooner. Seems like Archer didn't tell Tohsaka about that ability. Ufotable yet again disregarding the informations in the monologues. |

Drake1000 said: Isn't A class Magic resistance the most basic ability to the Saber class? How does Caster not know that? It's not an ability of the class-while the Saber class servants do have innate magic resistance, this one's resistance at rank A is particularly high, Caster was more so shocked seeing as Saber was able to |
BotatoPriest said: Plenty of times already. She said his name after the fight with Berserker and before they fought in the school. Seems like she always goes to calling him Shirou when she loses her cool.nocorras said: She did? I can't recall tbh. All I remember is "Emiya-kun."I thought she's called him by his first name before in the anime. |
 |
| >all dem rules and restrictions It's sure difficult as hell post in this thread, no? Like, Kobayashi Maru level difficult. |
| Kuzuki best history teacher. |
| - The dream was awesome - Saber got tossed around = 5/5 - Shirou's first projection - Caster in the HA outfit 5/5 - Kuzuki being awesome as he is - Shirou worrying for the best girl Only bad point is, those projection might come quite as DEM for the non VN readers, but who cares, awesome episode |
