But UBW serves a good purpose of limiting Gil from the outside world and I thought, I could be wrong, that the weapons basically came from UBW so summoning weapons while inside UBW would take less time.

The bolded part is from the VN, there's no difference between the projecting/summoning time in the anime, and there's no hint about it in the dialogue.
The part about restricting Gil to UBW isn't even mentioned in the episode, even though they spend at least 5 minutes formulating strategies.

I'm just trying to draw inferences about what was said and what is logical. From what I've seen Fate doesn't really spell everything out for you until the last minute, so re-watching episodes and paying attention to hints drove me to these conclusions.

So uh.. Is Shinji still conscious throughout all that blob growth even NOW like 48 hours later? It seemed to be implied at the end of episode 9 that he was still alive and conscious for his initial blob expansion.

Alright episode, Rin made too big a deal out of the transfer. There was hardly a point for her to remove her shirt, but leave a bra on.

Lol, yea I have yet to read the LN. But it's nice to know I made the correct assumptions.
[spoiler]I'm curious though on how they will actually beat Gil though...I mean even if you can counter each weapon how can Shirou counter Ea because that seemed OP to all hell and back in F/Z.

Anime onlies were bound to ask that question if we consider how UBW was portrayed in this anime when Archer used it back in the church.



eh only reason i wondered was because of fate zero, and if there was more to ubw. but it seems pretty straight forward.

swords being summoned and not just projected makes sense since it is basically shirou's own little world, the caster of the reality marble being stronger also makes sense same with the swords inside ubw being stronger.

and I actually only watched Yosuga no Sora from those 3, but I know through "accidental spoilers" that the other 2 also have sex scenes. With "sex scenes" I am obviously refering to the "playing safe camera angles" to avoid any private parts with at most breasts being shown.

Ok, now I call this Unlimited Fail Works.

So they went with horrible and nonsensical Vita version. This episode was good until this mage linking ritual. Come on... dolphins, errgh, thank you, I don't want it. Even Tohsaka's feelings made no sense here. I don't want this half-assed scene instead of what really should happened and I also don't want those blushes if they are out of place. If Kaleid Liner Illya can hint that I really don't understand why Ufo can't. And I also don't want scene that spoils one part of HF (though that one is still okay in comparison with magic crest transplant nonsense).

I mean, does anyone still cares about the rules how this world works by now? Ufo sure bended too many things along the way that it doesn't even matter anymore. And I really lost faith in their attemp on HF in upcoming movies.

There was one high-point of this episode though, it was Saber's confession in the end. I got shivers there. And it doesn't matter this was totally out of place in this route.

I find it funny that to certain sects of anime communities an episode that is not eventful = Boring = Bad. Like if they don't see swords clashing and explosions they can't focus for even a second... Like an infant.

Anyways. Not particularly a great part of the route even in the VN or Realta Nua. But from an anime perspective we just had battles for way too many episodes straight so slowing down was necessary. But they pretty much adapted it as well as it could have been. And yes, if they had a scene with implied sex it WOULD be completely out of place an awkward. I don't know what some people want it so bad.

But I do understand many anime only watchers concerns because they didn't really show what UBW does at all, which is pretty disappointing. That would be my biggest complaint about this adaptation so far.

I have no idea what you are talking about. As far as I remember everything so far is canon to FSN, besides maybe archers 2nd UBW. Which Nasu liked and wanted included, so It's technically canon now.

Archer for example has never been consistent. Everytime he appears something has been retconned about him, be it being buffed or nerfed. No matter if it's VN2004, RN, DEEN, ufo and as far as I heard, Fate/Extra.

So it's not really limited to ufo.

Nope all he said was something about "in the anime version God Hand is like this or that" and "it's like a journey through different means (=different mediums) to the same destination". There was no mention about a "different multiverse". That was as much "speculation" as "90 minutes extra scenes", or "Rin kicks Shirou", or "Shirou prevents Rin from saving Illya".

Yea I agree. I liked the episode simply because all of cour 2 has been nonstop action and philosophical debating. I mean these people are human too they need some down time before they go on a suicidal mission. But to each their own I guess.

Shirou doing backflips and blocking giant swords

So questionable choreography is an afront to how canon it is? Complaining that his jump is unrealistic when it is a 1 second scene thats only purpose is to make a flashy battle is a super neckbeard complaint.

Most people have been complaining about how repetitive and uneventful the last 2-3 episodes were, even though there were swords clashing most of the time.
Generalizing and turning every criticism into a strawman argument is just as pathetic as saying "FSN is not mature because teenagers...".

Anyways. Not particularly a great part of the route even in the VN or Realta Nua. But from an anime perspective we just had battles for way too many episodes straight so slowing down was necessary. But they pretty much adapted it as well as it could have been. And yes, if they had a scene with implied sex it WOULD be completely out of place an awkward. I don't know what some people want it so bad.

Slowing down isn't necessary. It's an option, and if you can't handle it properly, you just go straight into the next plot point with Shirou being capable of using UBW for the same reason Archer could use it in their fight.
This episode is 1/3 exposition which fails to highlight the team's strategic approach, since they don't even talk about trapping Gil into UBW while the other 2 destroy the grail, and we don't know how UBW works, so we're left scratching our heads.
The other 1/3 of the episode is Saber stuff which is pointless if you've read Fate, it's nonsensical if you're anime-only, and it only works if you've watched Zero.
The last 1/3 is pure cringe.

Shirou was supposed to be on the verge of death in that scene. Avalon healed him completely... or at least to the point where he's capable of doing such backflips, which is far cry from "verge of death".

Now look again at (F/Z spoiler)


But whatever, I don't care anymore... ufo will obviously break the rules of the universe in order to accomodate Rule of Cool. You can except similar "stunts" to be in HF as well.

Close enough, but he additionally also did 100 sit-ups and ran 10 km all of it EVERY SINGLE DAY without skipping even one training course, then he would lose his hair, but he would easily win against Archer and even against Gilgamesh. Without Rin's mana even. With just one punch.

His magic at the level he should be at that point would not let him absorb enough physical ability to pull that off.
