I'm surprised nobody noticed that all of Sabers subjects as king arthur refer to her as a he.

Yeah, Shirô catched his third girl!!

The episode wouldn't have seemed so bad if post-sex King Arthur didn't act as some desperately in love little girl. Even if she didn't age physically as stated before, she should know better than that thanks to her mental age.

2/5 And now, we learn that you can simply grab the Grail by calling it into a magicians family heir... This sounds a lot easier than winning a stupid Battle Royale.

and the plot holes and conveniences begin...
the 'killing berserker seven times with one blow" thing was ridiculous. and the math is still wrong. if archer killed him five times and rin one, with this, he died 13 times, not twelve.

saber is acting so out of character it's getting on my nerves. the harem is not this strong on ubw either, which makes the anime a lot easier to swallow. i don't think the pairing saber x shirou should exist at all. and wtf with all the blushing and the taking it easy because 'we might touch each other', saber? [don't even get me started on her being a 14 year old girl when we all know what happens on the VN. gross.]

yes, the adaptation might be atrocious, but the source material is far from being that good too.

So they defeated Berserker in one blow?! lul

After that, we had more slice of life and fanservice, Shirou got the loli to his harem mansion and so on. Their teacher with the glasses is one of the masters, I think, and they will go after Sakura, so things are getting interesting.

Oh wow Berserker really can talk.

Ok I hope there will be some revelation about Shiro's true personality. He maybe try to act as all righteous and a wannabe justice defender, but his true personality is a pervert I guess. Like, he could just send Illyasviel back to her home, why bother to bring her to his home, lol. I'm just surprised at how fast Shirou's idiocy has influenced Saber and Rin to the extent they didn't question that.

It's funny how the king has been reduced to a servant and right now is washing a dish. lol

Shirou might as well create money with his ability. Or maybe the Holy Grail.

That glasses teacher is the final boss I guess.

My guess is Lancer's master is someone that Shirou know.

normally, masters who have lost their servants should be going into the church for protection until the war is over. even if a master doesn't have their servant with them anymore, they might still be targeted by other masters because there is a chance that they could make a pact with a servant who has lost their master, Rin mentioned that in this episode

if Illya goes back to her castle, she might be attacked and killed by another master

Saber kept objecting to keeping Illya in the house, but she's Shirou's servant so she gave up in the end

Rin realized that keeping Illya with them might be a smart move, you'll find out why later

Ok, then why Shirou didn't just send her to the church ? Shirou's reason for keeping her are no more than kindness although I'm guessing there's some ulterior motive. Only Rin realized there is another benefit of keeping her but I doubt Shirou realized that, he's too dumb anyway.

pretty much, he's simply too good natured and views her as a child

also, Shirou dislikes Kirei so he probably doesn't want Illya to be around him either

The rest of the characters arent any better so I dont see why Shirou specifically is a dumbass, especially for stuff that even the viewer cant think about.

the anime's failure to portray his character makes him seem like a naive dumbass and nothing more. not talking about this issue with Illya specifically, but just in general. viewers are likely to already perceive him as a dumbass coming into this episode

the other characters fare better than him because they don't talk about being a hero of justice and all that

i can't get over how fantastic this OST rly is!

that fight was pretty cool, i quite liked it but maybe i'm biased as a visual novel reader LOL

poor illya, you can tell she was devastated. rin always looks cute with her hair down, like she had it briefly.
i like how shirou does care about everyone and lets illya in the house, even if he is a somewhat dense sometimes. shirou is much more likable in the visual novel though, i'll say that (。﹏。*)

saber and rin's hostility to shirou's protecting illya makes sense as well though

i always liked that scene where saber cleans off illya's cheek, i thought it was really sweet of her to do. even though she doesn't like illya too much it's nice to see her not be totally hostile

and yes, saber is king arthur. "but saber is a girl" yup welcome to fate LOL. her name isn't literally "arthur" though, it's artoria/arturia

and shirou walks in on saber in the washroom, classic embarrassing moment lol

even though i never listen to music like it, the ED song has grown on me so so much lol

So there's a harem forming I guess I should have noticed this before but Saber's cold disposition to any emotions stopped me from thinking about it. I'm ok with Illya staying in Shirou's house but what they're doing with Saber is kind of weird. I mean Saber is a servant she's supposed to be a spiritual being that will stop existing after and only exists for the HG wars. A very weird love interest. Also the complete 180 about Shirou seeing her naked feels so weird like they don't even acknowledge what happened last time Saber was seen naked. I know they're trying to make her "know what it's like to be a woman" but I don't think this is the way to deliver or at least this change is too sudden too fast. But I guess they only have 24 episodes and this is like the C plot so it makes sense why it feels that way.

Cool Episode
This is my rewatch, didnt think I'll like it on Rewatch after I experienced Ufotable type of animation in the other routes

But there is a QUESTION, and its preferably for VN readers actually please if ya'll dont mind.
Is Caliburn and Excaliber the same thing!? And if it is, which most probably true, why Shirou had to project the sword again while Saber already having it!!? She used it on Rider before, and she was trying to use it on Berserker too but Shirou stops her to Project the same sword then. So is the reason is that he projected it with enough mana to use but the one with Saber needs charging(aka exhausting her mana) before activating!!?
Thanks in advance 🙏

They are two different swords , but they are really similar.
Caliburn is the sword in the stone that Arthur finally pulls out , but he later broke it in a tragic battle , before receiving Excalibur , a sword with way more destructive power , from the lady of the lake.

Note that it's taken directly from the legend of King Arthur , but this legend possess differents versions/is debated by many peoples.
In some there is only 1 sword , while in others there is 2 (Like in the version of Naus). In some the lady of the lake is named Niniane or something among those lines , while in some she's named Viviane (Like for Nasu).

If you want to know a little bit more without reading the Visual Novel , you can also just check the Type-Moon Wiki , he's incredibly full of infos , or read books about King Arthur.

man, beating breserkar was insane. didn't thought shirou would be able to develop this kind of skill.

it seems that since previous episode, this anime now is almost fully fanservice. lol
though i love how syber x shirou developing. ever since the, er, "inserting magic circuits".
well, you all know what they were doing there.

so in the end sakura will be involved in this war, but as a vessel?

and wait, why did they mentioned there's only lancer? that's it? everyone else got killed already? what the hel

A great episode.
- That Shirou soundtrack is fire!
- YEAHHHHH SHIROU, creating the sword in the stone and taking all 7 of Berserker's lives in a single hit! Insane.
- That team up attack was Xenoblade as hell
- Saber is jealous of Illya lmao
- With Berserker gone, there's only 4 servants left. A 1v1v2. Looks like one of the masters on the 'Temple Team''s side is someone with glasses. Maybe Shirou's friend, considering he owns the temple
- Why are they aiming for Sakura as the vessel? I thought Illya was literally built for it

Another "bath tub" scene, great, didn't ask for that.

Ep overall was the fight between saber and the mc vs hercules and a yapfest on, well, about the child staying in the house and the mc's abilities.

fight scene was alr but the 2nd part of the ep was a bit boring and unnecessary
