| Shirou charge! That part of the fight was pretty good actually. |
  |
| lmfao, holy shit that ending. Voice acting is at its best right there. welp, regardless of VN purism, as far as an anime adaption goes this was a solid adaption as far as I'm concerned. The only issue I have at the end is that it's kinda unclear how or why Archer "changed his mind" and finally accepted Shirou. Honestly, the whole exchange between Archer and Shirou both last episode and this felt a lot like flowery nonsense, but then again it kinda felt that way in the VN too, so whatever. |

But words make things seem more thingy. I think archer's answer is better placed after the credits imo. |
 Anime is good, fucking deal with it. |

Honestly, the whole exchange between Archer and Shirou both last episode and this felt a lot like flowery nonsense, but then again it kinda felt that way in the VN too, so whatever. I think it makes sense, I loved his flashback as Shirou was charging towards him. He rememebers his own memories with Kiritsugu and watches Shirou coming towards him with fire and determination in his eyes, then says how cruel it is to watch his old self before he became jaded. Subsequently this leads him to understand that he didn't make a mistake and simply lost his way when reminded of his old determination. As an analogy I'll input some events from my own life that maybe kinda are a much less extreme analogy. I'm part of a student organisation which has SO much work to do and you can get extremely motivated, but you have conferences every now and then where you are surrounded by people with insane ambition and drive for the work, it refreshes you and reminds you of why you first started doing the work. I think seeing Shirou and his determination reminds Archer of why he chose this path in the first place and motivates him again. |
| I really want Gilgamesh to succeed for some reason, but of course, Saber's going to win. |
| Well best character must die... Archer actually was only likable character in this show... that sucks :/ Well, even If I really hate Gilgamesh, and at the same time I love him, but I'm really happy that he killed that scum Shinji, that guy deserved, plus he was extremely annoying. Pretty good episode overall. |
| Well, I'm pretty disappointed with how the end of this fight was handled. I mean, Shirou charging up the hill and fighting off giant swords and shit like that? Ridiculous. He's supposed to be barely conscious at this point, fighting on the strength of his belief in his ideal alone. Ironically, they took one of the VN's most incredible moments and poured excess badassery on it to the point that it lost what made it actually such an impactful scene. Ugh, I wish I could just link the scene here so people could get the hoopla. I actually did like the inclusion of Saber's flashbacks and such, though. It basically shows what she feels in this situation in the VN, at least this is kind of how I envisioned her while reading it. The stuff with Gil was pretty well done too, it's too bad I can't say the same for the most important conflict of the story. I think this episode made me retroactively dislike the previous one. |

But has no one given this guy a "Hey you should tone it down" warning? Anyway, thats all for that subject. I don't know, things were pretty clear to me. Though at this point, Saber's back story is still foggy. Given that this is an anime and not a VN things need to be changed and altered for various reasons. I liked the episode, not my favorite, but I liked it, and the action we pretty cool. and that death in the end. Beautiful |

Rebelhero said: the anime actually did add saber content....in the VN Saber's character was handled in full force because she had her own route. and readers had to read the saber route before being able to even touch UBW. Saber's backstory is only clear enough for one to "get it" but it's not exaclty the full one all you needed to know overall is there though, that saber is in a similar situation as Archer and watching this fight she is receiving her own answer and resolution.CookingPriest said: UfoUBW Episode 9: Let's name the episode Answer and give none of that *grumbles angrily* I've already gotten a warning for "Troll baiting" (wtf is troll baiting?) this guy.

RedTie47 said: Archer dying like that was pathetic. If he couldn't even take out Emiya and his stupidity then he deserved it. Gilgamesh's drivel made more sense and inspired more sympathy than Emiya's entire retarded character. Also gg Shinji. I guess it wasn't clear to you that Archer didn't want to kill Shirou in the end? AKA the entire point of the fights resolution with Archer seeing his path wasn't wrong? |

RedTie47 said: Archer dying like that was pathetic. If he couldn't even take out Emiya and his stupidity then he deserved it. The red Faker was certainly pathetic. His declarations of killing the shounen idiot were nothing more than a sham intended to to mask his true intentions: to confront his former self and pitifully whine about his regrets that had been brought about by his foolishness from adolescence while throwing violent tantrums befitting of a mongrel. He is nothing more than a stupid child who is unable to accept the situation that he brought upon himself, and he required an even more insufferable idiot in order to realize the errors of his ways. |

| Here i was wondering why Gil kept Shinji around. I like how they portray Gil. He doesn't give shit about random insults. Like "i am so awesome, if someone is saying such stupid stuff they can't be talking about me". And while caring more about soot than killing them is fitting, he gets used this way way to often. Appearing, instantly overpowering anyone, and dropping the matter for a random reason. It's getting ridiculous. |

| What the fuck are they doing with the adaptation? From a point of non vn player that probably looks pretty nonsensical. It's like tokyo ghoul root a all over again. |
Silent7 said: What the fuck are they doing with the adaptation? From a point of non vn player that probably looks pretty nonsensical. It's like tokyo ghoul root a all over again. From a non-vn-player perspective this is "pretty fighting shonen" as proven by numerous reviews. |
 |
| Yikes, that ending was pretty brutal. Shinji had it coming for a long time though. |
 |
| Lol that ending! Okay episode, let's see what's next. |

animeguy17 said: The beginning was sooooo redundant. Funny how there were a million swords in the reality marble and nobody thought to pick one up lol Archer could but has no reason to since it is battle of mind a nd not physical one, as physically he could just kill Shirou but that is not his goal - he wants to kill his mind. Interesting how Shirou has no reaction to hearing that it was Saber who cut the holy grail and (techincally) caused the fire he was in. Its the past. The ____ who was in the fire died and the Shirou who was born from that person has found meaning of his life in the end of it, so why should he blame her? And not dwelling on such mistakes in the past is within his current version of his ideals. Where TF were Shinji's command seals?! He was Gil's master right? Well, why the hell didn't he summon him when Lancer ran up on him. I guess he was too busy thinking of raping Rin smh Anime does not make it that clear but Shinji was never GIl's master. Kirei just tricked him into thinking he was. But seriously, why the hell did Gil leave. There was like no real explanation for that. It was really awkward. Arrogance. The King of Kings does not like ashes dirtying his clothes and the filthyness that the fire has caused. Forgetfulness said: Gilgamesh left cause...he got dirty from the ashes. idk, it's a pretty shitty explanation either way Not really? its 10000% in character for world's most arrogant asshole. |

| About fucking time Saber realized that it was right to break that grail 10 years ago. Kiritsugu badass and right even after his death. |

_Dazzle_ said: Kiritsugu badass and right even after his death. Considering Kerry was only right for ONE episode(after reality and the world literally slapped him in the face with his hypocrisy), how about no. |
|
| Shiniji get's no sympathy from me. |

 Question: Do we ever see Archer in what I assume to be the Middle East/Africa dressed like this in the VN, or was that purely a CCC reference? |

| So I guess Gilgamesh won't give Saber the ultimatum of becoming his wife this time around. Not that she'd accept. Aaaaaand Shirou may or may not become Archer. Still unclear about that. Aaaaaand Rin and Shirou now know that Saber destroyed the Grail but don't know Kiritsugu was her master. Aaaaaand I don't really know to react to what happened to Shinji. I guess Illya was too much of a hassle to keep around as the vessel. And I guess homunculuses don't blow up into giant mounds of flesh. That was just unsightly. |

Anny555 said: Aaaaaand Shirou may or may not become Archer. Still unclear about that. Yes and no. Archer is Shirou, but Shirou isn't necessarily Archer. Multiverse theory and all that. |
| I always wondered why he was naked at the end of F/Z. Now I know. |
| Good thing Gilgamesh did that to his "Master" .. :D I didn't like him at all. |
 |
| Woah that ending was kinda creepy but he really got what he deserved. |
 |
| Unmei no Hi ~Tamashii tai Tamashii~ MC vs MC ends. I knew it was coming, but...I actually didn't cry. lol Gil returns, but this time, with his pecking order. Finally! Thank you, Dr. Gil. You were our hero afterall. |

| i'm so tired of shirou's flashbacks his fight with archer was so stupid imo. I can't believe they used 3 episodes just to that fight. Honestly i'm so confused with this story. I wonder what did i missed because in season 1 things were easy to follow, but now it looks like a mess |

sun123 said: how lancer was able to kill his master even after he gave the order to commit suicide? This Lancer has a skill called "Battle Continuation" that allows him to keep fighting for a while even with mortal wounds. Its related to his myth, read about Cù Chulainn's death: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cú_Chulainn#C.C3.BA_Chulainn.27s_death the priest was feeding gilgamesh all these years? Or it is someone that didn't appear yet? No one controls gilgamesh? This is explained in the Fate route of the visual novel: the part where archer explain how he was able to force rin to summon him was a little confusing for me Archer didn't force Rin. He was summoned because he had Rin's red pendant that saved his life in Archer's timeline. Since Rin didn't have a catalyst during the ritual, the Grail picked the Heroic Spirit closer to her. |

sun123 said: i'm so tired of shirou's flashbacks his fight with archer was so stupid imo. I can't believe they used 3 episodes just to that fight. Errrr.....you DO know that FSN IS about Shirou right? FSN is Shirou's story about Shirou told from his point of view. It is not about servants, it is not about grail war, it is about Shirou. sun123 said: the priest was feeding gilgamesh all these years? Or it is someone that didn't appear yet? No one controls gilgamesh? There's no master contracted with Gilgamesh, yes. Gil also technically does not need energy to exist since he has a body of flesh and blood and not of mana, due to circumstances. Other servants can't even detect him as a servant technically, due to that. the part where archer explain how he was able to force rin to summon him was a little confusing for me Archer did not force it to happen. Rin used the pendant during summon without knowing that it is technically the catalyst for him since it is used to save Shirou's life in pretty much all timelines. Archer then pretended to not know his own identity while waiting for a chance to destroy Shirou, even if it is futile. |

| Well I am guessing shiro will end up the same for his future, shitty conclusion but its the most plausible. |
 Behold of my awesomeness~ controversial and/or sensitive topics likely devolve into the same repetitive, derogatory, abusive, and harassing comments can no longer be posted. But my feels. |
| Original idea of Gilgamesh: Destroy all the humans!!! This series is worst even episode that i watched :( |
| Shinji got obliterated. Thank goodness. One of the best scenes yet |
