THAT ARCHER-RIN-SHIROU SCENE, GOSH. That was perfect, I shrieked. MY SHIP.
Hmmm, that thing about the two pendants... were there two? Am I just confused (again)?
i'd say just go back through the episodes.....because there are an extreme amounts of subtle things that has been going around through the first half and it's much easier to catch in hindsight. the author of FSN likes to stick things under your nose then make you think about other things he makes you look right then cuts left then goes back to the first spot and leave you confused why he did that.

Yes, there were two. Watch episodes 0, 1 and the beginning of 2 just before they go to the church. These are all from the first cour, btw.

How's the salt been on the thread today boys and girls ;) I hope everyone has been able to keep their sanity today!

I actually thought today's episode was great. They actually did a pretty good job, lived up to the VN for once. I hope ufotable keeps it up and keeps it like this to the end.

But seriously man, they need to do something about the damn music. It's so mellow! I wouldn't even mind if they used the tracks straight from the VN, it'd be better than the music in this anime lol

his head tilt and mile long stare was nice i loved it, one of those things that really illustrates him.

Agreed. It shows his twisted side. Actually no, he's 100% twisted, he just subconsciously hides it unwittingly.


Ya they did a good job with portraying him today and Rin calling him out was great too. This is all leading up to that much needed development for Shirou!

My prediction about them dedicating an entire episode to Shirou and his development I think is going to come true. That should make up for some lost time I guess, though they should have just added in all those bits beforehand but oh well. I'll take what I can get.

hopefuly they also take this time to explain things such as shirou's projection magic....they missed that opportunity already. it was suppose to have been brought up in detail like right around this point. i imagine it may come later since we got the time. seemsl ike they been switching things around alot, kind of like the pendent talk here.

I feel like quite a bit of info was lost and felt rush without the narrative monologue format of the visual novel. Though maybe this is just cuz I've read the visual novel, those who haven't might not really be bothered at all.

For example: one of the biggest reasons why Shirou is the way he is is cuz when Kiritsugu saved him, Shirou felt that, more so than himself, the one who was really saved was Kiritsugu. Shirou admired that moment of bliss in Kiritsugu, someone who can find peace and salvation in the well-being and happiness of others rather than himself. Of course, Kiritsugu did not develop this way of thinking until after the events of Fate/Zero, before this, his views were even more warped and deranged.

Essentially, Shirou copied Kiritsugu's ideals (though he is likely predisposed to this way of thinking to begin with, especially considering his Origin). This is what Rin and Archer meant by his ideals not being his own beliefs and are simply borrowed. We're all influenced by the views of others but Shirou wasn't just influenced, he pretty much carbon copied what he deemed to be the ideals of Kiritsugu, not necessarily cuz he believed in those ideals himself but because he wanted to be like Kiritsugu, to accomplish what Kiritsugu couldn't.



While the first one was not evident in this adaptation, the second paragraph was easily shown in this adaptation.

Lancer is pretty cool, calmly stating he could take on all three servants simultaneously.
Haha, that Shirou x Rin again.
Very interested to see Lancer's master.

Looking forward to next week.

Another great episode, I can not get enough of this plot after all, I like also the characters, despite the personality OF Shirou irritates me, even though conscience of their mistakes still making the same

I look forward to see the fight between Archer and Lancer next episode, the battles in Fate are always awesome and even more with these two servants ..

Guys lets try to be ojbective here.

The only objective factor in determining who is best lancer is which one would win if they fought each other

In that case the answer is clearly blue lancer.

If I would have to choose to have a servant as a friend, it'd be Lancer! That cool bro-like personality wins it all. Thumbs up for Lancer!!!

On another note, Shirou was pretty sweet with his request with Lancer in regards to not acting chummy around Rin. Though Shirou's still an idiot and has a lot of screws loose, he's a sweet idiot. lol. I was expecting that he'll ask who Lancer's master is, but I guess Rin is more important than anything. Haha

lancer's and Saber's really are the best goto servants.

of course shirou knows what the top priority is.

Not even a god damn scratch after falling onto slabs of granite and twisted metal. That’s right Shirou, shake it off.
I still thought this was a better episode than the last and I’m glad it directly addressed Shirou’s suicidal heroism. It looks like they went with ‘survivor’s guilt’ as the dominant rationale for his cannon fodder aspirations. It’s still one of at least 5 different—and often contradictory—motivations that have been offered throughout the series but at least they are talking about it. I mean so what if it’s episode 16, he had me at *crazy eyes*.


Rin/Shirou
Wow. That’s two unequivocal declarations of attraction from Shirou in just 4 episodes. I’m actually impressed given his (apparent) complete lack of interest during the first cour. I knew it was going to eventually happen but to see such apathy in a man... He had more physical chemistry with Issei, with the high point of his romantic journey with Rin was getting boob-slammed against a brick wall. And God, that cringe-worthy date? Sure there was some teasing and a little ear blushing but I didn’t think there was a man alive that could recover from an awkward bus ride like that. Getting stabbed by Saber must have jiggled something and caused his balls to drop because all of a sudden he’s super upfront with his feelings.

Anyway, as abrupt as this transformation is, I appreciate the extra dimension that this typical tsundere romance adds to his otherwise stick figure personality. Call me sadistic, but I’d love to see him have to choose between his ideals and his budding relationship, and for the Gods of the FSN universe to revoke the free pass on consequences he’s been getting so far.

Was Rin's explanation of the pendant was supposed to be a mindfuck moment for the audience? It's hard to imagine considering we saw Shirou’s 2nd pendant in E2, and got heavy-handed foreshadowing like every other episode. Did the VN make it so obvious? When were you supposed to figure it out and when did Shirou figure it out?

It feels like you would legitimately just like the VN more lol

Although I don't know if you would make it past Fate route to get there.
