Absolutely terrible episode. The insufferable shounen idiot was granted an asspull of a last minute powerup and was only able to defeat the best servant because he is the protag who has to win for the sake of the plot. All of those midair acrobatics and sudden combat prowess along with Gil not using Ea were all contrived bullshit. Archer returning to save Rin and Shirou was the worst offender. He was already killed, so he should have died.


Lol never change Zero +1

Funnily enough you responded to one sarcastic post with a lol haha in the same post you took another sarcastic post completely seriously.

Except I put LMAO after it also, I was making a joke about it because "because shounen" would be a hilarious way to explain the fall of all the arrogant people in history.

Why did hitler fall, because shounen.
Why did napoleon fail, because shounen. Ect.

If the Shirou had fought on the ground, it would have been slightly more believable. I'll concede that in UBW Shirou has the advantage due to his swords already present, although it's still difficult to accept considering the disparity between him who hasn't experienced any real combat until this war and Gil who is very experienced. I may have been able to forgive GoB being countered so easily despite how OP it has been shown to be, but Shirou managing to deflect all of those swords BY HAND, spinning around in midair, and using Rho Aias in that matter reeked of shounen bullshit. He could hardly go against Kuzuki, a human, but yet he's able to defeat the King of Heroes, the greatest and most OP of servants.

Well he had Rin's mana, supposedly reinforcing his limbs could suffice high jumps and acrobatics like that as Rin demonstrated before

He saves Shirou's arm technically. Rin would be dead and Shirou would be without an arm if Archer didn't show up in the anime.

So are we just supposed to forget this?


One hit + the other 5 blades already buried in his back = dead Archer

We didn't saw his body, just red things like his clothes.
And he had some holes in his clothes in the episode.
(Not a big fan of his come back anyway but thanks to it, we had his smile and him speaking to Rin)

Just realized that this episode was the first time they subbed the "My body is made of swords" version of the chant. Every other time they subbed it as the "I am the bone of my sword" version, even the parts where its actually the "My body is made of swords" version. Damn you crunchyroll, now no one can see the actual differences between the Shirou and Archer chants.

Also just noticed they used a remix of "into the night" during the chant. Nice touch.

Yeah sure bro, the only thing you could call foreshadow about that is that they didn't show his whole body disappearing and that's shit tier foreshadowing at best. Yet he said he was almost out of mana that day and he summoned UBW as well.

But hey, don't be mad fanboys, I thought the rest of the episode was decent.

Am I the only one that feels that saber is made to look too cute in this episode? I mean look at the number of blank and surprised faces. After like having zero and the whole UBW anime carrying this solemn look, all of a sudden saber was drawn like a innocent character with those stunned faces and wided-open mouths. ._.

"Go rewatch the video and there is a evidence that explains", it could explain, but does not work. If watchers felt "what the fuck?" instead of "OMFGGGG he is back!!!@!!@1111!one!!!1", it just failed to deliver correctly and naturally. It's all about presentation that UFOTABLE failed in the entire season.

its not a asspull because,His core was not destroyed. Servants are inhuman. They are Spirits embodied via mana vessels. As long as their core is not destroyed they can continue existing as long as they have enough mana. remember at EP 12 they even showed assassin core,
