SwordHand said: Omg, during the talk in the living room, they meshed Rin and Archer's themes together. O_O Oh, good catch, I didn't notice that. That's actually a pretty nice idea, and they work well together too. |

| Good episode. Really liked the Kuzuki fight and Shirou summoning the swords especially. Actually, the dream sequence at the beginning was pretty great as well. Kind of surprised that Rin got to speak the title chant, though. As for why Kuzuki said they should leave, it doesn't even need to be explained. He looks at Saber as she's below them for a reason, the guy clearly realizes she's a huge threat and thought retreat was the best option. It doesn't need to be spelled out at all. People who are familiar with Sabers abilities should know that his caution was warranted anyway. |

| Don't you think complaining about some fucking lightning effects to be just an overblown nitpick? It was the rule of cool, end of story. Episode itself was one of the better ones I feel. Looked gorgeous, great OST, UBW chant, and Shirou being GAR. I particularly enjoyed blonde dude's story at the end. It does a great job of giving us a glimpse of his true nature and way of thinking. Kinda wished he decked Shinji in the face after he touched him, but oh well, still awesome. |
| Trace on! Emiya finally did it and showed his badassness. And perfect Souichirou got wounded as result. Best episode so far. And dat Rule Breaker...! Being not used this time :) |

GangstaPriest said: No, the problem is when they are spoonfed they either complain about too much talking, or the show not respecting their intelligence and lacking "show don't tell," or both.insan3priest said: The problem is too many fans seem to think the audience needs to be spoonfed to understand the characters' actions.As for why Kuzuki said they should leave, it doesn't even need to be explained.

| Mother. Fucking. Kuzuki for you, bitches. They really nailed it, the fighting scene. The place they were fighting was far more interesting than in the VN. The background made a really interesting scene. With the winter and all the snow out there in my country, it's fitting too :P Rin was also really well portrayed in this episode, as a magus willing to fight. She doesn't just stand back, she goes into the action. She's also always so cute :3 Shirou ''Trace on!'' was epic. I know that he can be annoying and sound misogynist (in the Fate route), but please, give the poor fellaw a chance :( Saber got rekt hard. Well, to be fair, they all got rekt pretty hard. She was never prepared for Kuzuki OPness, neither was any of the group. Also, we got to see Caster weird blade. Look like some weird anus tearer. Blondie goes into the action with fucking Shinji. Poor him, he really got the short end of the stick. Here's my album for this episode : http://imgur.com/a/qoTaq Here's my Rin album for this episode : http://imgur.com/a/gIEC6 |

y123y said: There is a youtube reviewer who is ticking me off right now. He has played the VN before and for the last 3 episodes, including this one, he has been making theories about who Archer really is. And he is acting all surprise as if his theories just came true and he is a genius. Just.... oh well People are already bashing him right now in the general spoiler discussion thread |

| The lightning effects were pretty annoying and that shirou scream of "tohsaka" was like oh dear level, very cringe-worthy overall and it did hurt the quality of that scene. Every fight episode seems to end the same way by the way, shirou always almost dying and super injured, probably the next episode too starts with him waking up in his bed bandaged up etc, getting deja vu feels here |

| Wow, that shounen powerup when your friends are in danger, soooooo epic. It didn't help that the scene was so over-the-top that it became hilarious. Thankfully the VN fans already spoiled this, so I couldn't fully appreciate the """""asspull""""". It also seems like most people liked the visuals, but I thought this was easily the worst fight of the series when it came to animation and coreography (although that's not saying much). Still, a certain someone finally took the spotlight, so 10/10. Zero watchers only: |

| When Berserkcar grabbed Saber's sword in ep 3 she released Invisible Air and fried his ass but when Kuzuki does she acts like an idiot and just stares at him. Stupid, inconsistent 12 year old child writing. Not even mentioning the asspull of Shirou randomly getting shonen powerups like its fuckin Naruto or something. After watching such a mature and adult show like F/Z I was expecting another masterpiece. Too bad I'm left with this shonenshit! Am I doing this right, guys? Senpai, pls notice me. Also this episode was boner-of-my-sword/10 |

| Also no Fai, I wasn't trolling. Shirou really is all that. I reckon what bothers you is not so much the fact that he is what he is rather than the fact that ufo's version of the projection scene reminds you of a certain type of tropes you dislike present in many battle shounen. And what I'm trying to tell is that it's perfectly ok, since it doesn't take anything away from Shirou's character (imo), precisely because he's also literally that: a shounen hero protagonist. What differentiates him from the others is that he's much more than just that. And ufo's done a pretty damn good job at showing that so far. So yeah, that's why I believe having that scene become a moment of hype perfectly works. |

| I've never ever watched someone making an episode about him reviewing an anime. What's the point? No clue why those are so popular anyway. Maybe I should start making some, at least I wouldn't be fanboying. |

robis798 said: Nice episode, but when is Saber going to kick someone's ass? Isn't she the strongest servant? ( excluding berserker, idk ) In this route? She doesn't really kick anyone's ass, so to speak, seeing as she got all the spotlight in Fate. And that's only in general; the Saber class is the best class, but the 5th war's servants are all fairly powerful in general. |

Drake1000 said: When a series is popular for having lots of "OH SHIT!" moments, watching reactions from other people who don't have any prior knowledge of the franchise/anime can be very fun (eg. a couple of HxH's episodes, a good chunk of AoT's episodes, ufo's UBW fight scenes etc.)ijuka said: I've never ever watched someone making an episode about him reviewing an anime. What's the point? No clue why those are so popular anyway. Maybe I should start making some, at least I wouldn't be fanboying. Yeah that's beyond pointless and a waste of time, I could understand watching a anime full series review but episodes reviews, nah man. |

That's right she is hindered by that weak ass harem lead ( sarcasm pls don't kill ) But she was injured throughout F/Z also... |

robis798 said: Nice episode, but when is Saber going to kick someone's ass? Isn't she the strongest servant? ( excluding berserker, idk ) In the case it wasn't obvious from episode 1, Shirou is a bad master and Saber cannot use her full powers due to him. Incomplete summoning as well IIRC. |

And again, she had all the spotlight in Fate, so she's marginalized here. Saber class is not the strongest, it's just the most balanced in terms of stats. But stats also depend on the Master. You also need to remember that the heroic spirit's legend is important (basically their combat skills and abilities/Noble Phantasms). Unfortunately for Saber, the other Servants are God-tier in this war so simply being strong won't be enough. |
