| Irisviel: "You've simply forgotten that you are already dead." Zecchan: "You wa shock nano desu!" |
| This was really enjoyable. More info for the series and fanservice at its best. I had a feeling it was Taiga. The shot of the dojo at the end was great. |
| -Nothing can stay unchanged. Even so, can you still keep on loving this place? -Be still my soul; when change and tears are past, all safe and blessed we shall meet at last. |
| Best specials I ever watched! Seriously, if all specials were so good as this, more people would buy the DVD/blu rays 4 sure!! |
 |
| did not expect such a twist, and Zecchan is Tiger-sensei |
| Wow, this unexpectedly became one of the best specials out there! Only someone who has played the VN can truly appreciate this. So then Saber is Bisexual??? Finally shed some light on Lancelot and Iri... :( Loved it, due to nostalgic reasons I feel like giving this a 8/10 :') |
| Better than actual ending. Taiga for the win! Aozure said: So then Saber is Bisexual??? I would say it was different kind of love. That's also one of the reasons why Guinevere cheated her with Lancelot. |

| More people need to watch this. Seriously. |

Xawddre said: 1. who was that figure that Zecchan keeps having nightmares of and was saved at the end? But you'll learn more about him once the Heaven's Feel movie comes out. As for the people saying Saber was a lesbian, it's like the above post points out: it was a different kind of love. The marriage was to continue the image of Saber being a man, so there likely wasn't any "interaction" in the way people seem to be thinking. |
 |
| I'm surprised by the end ! She was Tiger, nice ending. It's sad to Iri but it is her fate. Wonderful OVAs, I really appreciated these. |
| Is this supposed to lead somewhere? EDIT: OMG that was Taiga! XD |
 |
| pretty awesome. quite a bit of additional info and explanations in these specials, expanded berserker back story and its own story aswell. also  |

So, after my first re-watch I finally got all the references to FSN VN with Taiga! Awww, they took Iri away... AGAIN! T_T There's this thing I still do not understand...why does Iri say that the love of her life betrayed her? =/ I don't understand that! Kerry would never betray her... in fact, he wanted to retreat from the war just to stay with her and Illya... Anyway, Taiga's end looked so touching (but in reality is silly xD). I'm glad that I understand know even when I've never used the Taiga Dojo en FSN VN. Is the Einzbern Dojo sign there? I mean, for real?? =O I hate how I now have more questions than the first time I watched it! (My first time was after F/Z and I have not watched any FSN or played the VN, and I'm currently playing UBW, HF is pending) And guys, no... Saber is not a lesbian... get your horny assess under control (jajaja I can't believe I said that) |

| Holy shit, she was Fuji-nee all along! |
| Was not.. prepared.. for the feels :') Heh, I liked this as much as F/Z. I think Nasuverse is at its best when it doesn't take itself too seriously. |
| The origin of Taiga dojo... I almost feel like replaying them all again. |
 |
| Damn, not even in the Specials, Iri can be completely happy :/ Anyway, these Special were great. I really liked every one of them. They were both informative and funny at the same time so in that way, the explanations wouldn't feel too overwhelming. And since I love Taiga, it was all a plus. Also not to mention that since I'm rewatching this and playing the VN at the current time, I can really appreciate the connection they made with Taiga, the dojo and Illya becoming Student N°1 :D Overall, great Specials. 7/10 P.S.: That bulling on Kariya tho... poor man. |
| Wonder why Saber didn't come here, she's one of the servant in the F0 that are potrayed to had many troubles and regrets. Pretty much a nice piece of puzzle to fit after watching F0. |

Shayon said: Kish0 said: Wonder why Saber didn't come here, she's one of the servant in the F0 that are potrayed to had many troubles and regrets. iri said that this is the inside of the grail, and since berserker just arrived here, this episode takes place after his defeat by saber saber was never absorbed by the grail, that's why she doesn't appear I see, but Saber disappear after destroying the grail, why is that? |
| He who smiles in a crisis has found someone to blame. |
Shayon said: during the grail war, both the grail and the master and are what keep a servant materialized in this world. with the grail destroyed, that's one less thing keeping Saber around also, Saber wasn't exactly in top condition after fighting Berserker and Gil back to back, and being forced to use her noble phantasm on top of that, she didn't have enough magical energy to maintain herself any longer after the grail's destruction, and her master had also used up magical energy fighting Kirei it's possible for a master to maintain a servant after the war, but the amount of magical energy required is normally beyond the capabilities of one mage, so they need a method to obtain magical energy from somewhere else So,Servants only get absored into the grail when they're defeated in battle ? |
| He who smiles in a crisis has found someone to blame. |
Shayon said: yes, any servants that die during the war turn into energy inside the grail. but the grail doesn't hold them forever, their spiritual cores will eventually be released and return to where they originally came from, the throne of heroes the Throne of Heroes exists outside the world and outside of time, and it's where the Heroic Spirits are summoned from during a grail war, a copy of a Heroic Spirit is created and gets summoned as a servant, with one of the 7 classes being a vessel to contain it's power The Throne of Heroes,huh? Irisviel seems need to learn more. Thx by the way. |
| He who smiles in a crisis has found someone to blame. |
| This sure got darker in the later half, wasn't expecting feels ._. Gonna miss that lovey-dovey Iri and Ze chan. |
 |
| Well, now we know the backstory of the ultimate "Tiger dojo". Also, the thing is that Taiga was originally "studying" under Irisviels fon Ainsbern, but later in F/SN we see Illya, her daughter, studying under Taiga... Damn man, those feels... |

| One of the best specials I've ever seen. Was not expecting things to turn serious in the second half, but it was actually quite sad. More so because I love Irisviel so much ;_; I've become even more confused. I thought the Irisviel that Kiritsugu met in either the last or second last episode was not Irisviel, but a mere image of her created by the Grail (Angra Manyu or something). But it seems here she says that her lover, who I assume is Kiritsugu, betrayed her? But by the end of it, she seems to have come to terms with it. As someone who hasn't watched the Saber or Rin routes and only watched the trilogy of Sakura's route, I didn't really know who Taiga was since she wasn't that covered in the trilogy. So with the knowledge of this special, I hope I'll get a better understanding of Taiga as I watch the other series. But again, that was quite sad... |

| Dang, didn't expect the final episode to be 30 minutes long. 😨 It has been a very very long time since I've watched Fate/Zero so most of the info dumps in these specials kinda went over my head, but the latter episodes were more entertaining & more humorous. True, the 1st half of episode 6 featuring a calm Berserker was somewhat funny (and he even reverted back to being a "Berserker", poor guy) but never anticipated that twist at the 2nd half where this dimension distorted then Zecchan and Irisviel-shishou parted ways. A bittersweet end. :( Well, I'm glad that I've finished this now. It was still pretty fun, I guess. The info dumps were like rapid fire and I had a hard time keeping up, but maybe that's just because I haven't seen Fate/Zero in a very long time. 7/10 for this special. |
