The only reason the upcoming battle is going to be the final battle is cos the pacing of this show has become so slow that it's honestly just boring to watch at this point.

Convenient plot - we cannot reach the fortress, but turns out Astolfo has a NP that can help them arrive there safe, but doesnt remember the name until now...


Well Mordred has a plane now, that helps... I don't think it is convenient plot tho, Assassin from red has (in part) something to do, remember that she literally destroyed Astolfo's NP. Also, Astolfo lost his real master, do you remember when Emiya in F/SN was summoned and couldn't remember his true name? he stated that his summoning was incomplete, I believe that's the reason why Alstofo can't remember his NP, mostly because Sieg's unstable body


I'm pretty sure EMIYA was lying about that in F/SN so Rin didn't learn his name. His plan wouldn't have worked out if she knew (not that it worked anyways). That being said, Astolfo's master dying could still be why he forgot the name. For all his screen time, we've not really seen any of Astolfo's backstory, so that's hopefully coming up soon along with an explanation to his NP.

Well it's finally nearing the end. I think it could have been way better had the generic tropes not been implemented, but that's just my preference. There's still quite a few servants that have not been developed yet, so I assume not everyone will get developed considering how many episodes are left.

Finds out he's a trap. Still asks him if he fancies Sieg...

Gotta love how Leticia is so open-minded and accepting of all sexual relationships.

Or maybe she's just really, really dumb.

This is extremely underwhelming. Both the translation omitting half the words to save space, leaving behind meaning without much context, and the "story" itself. Third rate adolescent dialogues, *convenient* powers no one has ever forgotten before,... It is really a shame this will stay in a direct connection with other Fate entries. The industry is messed up, oh my...

Just mostly an buildup episode for the final battle coming in. I'm just gonna say despite that I did liked the build up episode... but it was kind of weird in some sense.

I already knew that Astolfo is a boy, no need to confirm :V

That aside, this was pretty much just a set up episode for the final battle.

Looks like Atalanta has indeed lost it.

Lol Jeanne getting a dose of full frontal Rider. Obviously he's packing some heat if she screamed that loud.

Look like in that little moment when Astoflo and Sieg met up with Jeanne, that Leticia took a brief moment as the main personality. Seemed like Astoflo noticed right away and teased her with the "not-really-a-ruler" line, and then it seemed like Sieg noticed it right at the end of the conversation but they ended the scene before he said anything more.

Now that Jack is out of the way we can get back to the main battle itself. The only way forward now is to board the hanging gardens then. Astolfo forgetting the name of her noble phantasm was a surprise. So she can only use it on a moonless light then. Three days until Astolfo can use her attack but on that day the gardens will be outside of their range. A tricky decision for Fiore for sure though. Rulers reaction of seeing Astolfo come out of the shower in Sieg's room was hillarious though. So Fiore decided to transfer her magic to her brother as a result of his advice then. The meeting between Sieg and Rider with Mordred sure was tense. Sieg's faith in humans was bound to be shaken after the battle with Jack. Its nice that despite everything Fiore and Calues are determined to see this through to the end though. Archers loyalty to Fiore and his oath to protect her was nice. Looks like the final battle between the two sides will be full of surprises and twists.

This build-up episode was pretty good, but what made it memorable, like with the previous episode, was Ruler's amusing reactions.

The main funny reaction from her was when she finally found out that Astolfo was a guy, as he walks into the living room of Sieg's room, stark naked from the shower. XD

She was also blushing again when Astolfo asked if she was interested in Sieg. Damn, I want her to confess to Sieg already before the start of the upcoming final battle, but it looks like it'll have to wait for now. >_<

Those interaction at the end between Ruler and Sieg...was that not Ruler talking to him but in fact the girl Ruler is possessing? I have a feeling some sort of convoluted "happy ending" is going to happen after the holy grail war where Ruler and all the other servants leave, and Sieg and the girl Ruler was possessing get together since it was just as much her as it was Ruler that Sieg was interacting with. I dunno, just a thought.

wait, wait... wait.

How or why could Fiore transfer the crest to Caules? Isn't it usually held by the head of the family and that person passes on all of that generational prowess to only one of his children, Wouldn't Darnic have been the one to hold the crest in the Yggdmilenia family?

They brought up how the Fiore can't stomach people dying, and then Caules brings up their dead dog when 3 of their family members are already dead. They don't even get brought up lmao.

This whole episode was buildup just for another recap episode this weekend :/

Ando answered about the choice Fiore made.
Talking about the technical aspect, the Yggdmillennia family is different, because is made of many families of magi who have their own crests, plus the LN stated that they had collected many others in a room for emergency. So Fiore had at least the Forvedge crest.

Lest be honest this version of Fate is just not very good. The story is a mess but held together with some nice fight scenes. Last few episodes have been very dull, not feeling Jeanne and Sieg. Probably because Sieg is super generic and Jeanne never really does anything.

Good episode. It's more or less preparations for the final battle. I hope the final battle will be amazing since they have 6 episodes left. Plenty of time to utilize each battle.

Actually it's quite possibly a reference to the "Orlando Furioso".
While Astolfo indeed has a book capable of negating any spell he (or the author) sort of forget this during the story: Astolfo used the book just once, shortly after receiving it, never ever mentioning its existence again for the rest of the epic poem.
It is a sort of well known "plot hole" in the original poem.

Interesting. If that's the case then it isn't nearly as much of an ass-pull as it seemed. That's actually pretty clever
