Both scenes in original and RN were awful, but the overall situation of those two just finally getting physically affectionate is good and makes sense. Just the dialogue was stupid as hell, UFO had an easy opportunity here to make a scene that was better than the VN in every way and instead just did RN.

Edit: she also cries after being betrayed by Archer Exactly. We don' t even get that, here. Rin gets almost raped, her teacher almost murders her, and a servant she just befriended sacrifices himself for her, but all she thinks about are Shirou and Archer, because the narrative demands so. |

If you don't like this anime then why don't you all just drop it?If you continue to watch it then this anime is good. This episode was really good and Rin blushing was kawai. |

I'm a little surprised that people are actually defending the sex in the VN. I dropped a snarky comment a few days ago making fun of the VN scene but I didn't realize the subject was contested. Correct me if I'm wrong, but the pro-VN Sex scene argument seems to hinge on a few flimsy arguments 1) xplanting the magic crest is OOC for Rin or technically impossible. 2) Sex is a better way to establish that magic connection 3) Rin and Shirou have the hots for each other anyway so when faced with Armageddon, why not bone? When looking at the FSN VN sex scenes two things jump out at me (3 things if you count Shirou's microphallus): One is the sex necessary? Two, is it's depiction necessary? To the first question, no. It was a plot device. I don't see how this is even controversial. Even if the magic crest transfer is impossible or stupid, the fact that the FSN universe lets you recharge your servant by dumping a magical jizzload into her, or lets you create a mana channel between another mage by synchronizing orgasms is silly. I'm sorry but it's a clumsy plot contrivance designed to introduce sex into the narrative. Just to be clear, for this isolated scene in UBW I am challenging the narrative quality of the VN CANON itself. Two: on top of the silly premise, the VN obviously took the H path rather than the PG-13 one and went into graphic detail about the forcefulness of the Shirous thrusts, the consistency of Rin's breasts, and some of the finer points of sex without lube. These extra details were designed to aid the viewership in ruining their keyboards rather than advancing character development or plot. Now lets go back to the anime. I think the anime cleaned up the VN's mess with a mop and bucket. People are talking about how the anime could have done a tasteful fade to black scene with Rin/Shirou kissing but that only addresses the issue of the VN's graphic depiction of the sex, not the ridiculousness of orgasmic mana transfer and magical jizz itself. As far as the anime universe is concerned mana and sex are unrelated. I agree there are some questionable things about transplanting the crest but could those not have been addressed with a few ad hoc explanations? I'm not anti sex at all, just anti-gimmick. If Rin and Shirou wanted to do the fade to black thing after the mana crest transfer then I'd be ok with that. Helll, if at the end Shirou wants to cast UBW and have some celebratory sex amongst the swords with Rin wearing nothing but that heart amulet then I wouldn't mind either. Really. |

Really. another thing to note is that really...wtf else is there to talk about this episode..... -i wouldnt exactly say your wrong about about it being a plot device just to include sex. even the author himself has referred to the sex here as a "necissary evil" and didnt even write them himself however this is something that wasnt just introduced in FSN and is something that goes back into the frequently used "containers" concept. -again i wouldnt say your wrong. when your an independant company trying to produce a VN in 2004 and your not already well established your not getting shit off those shelves without the sex. but nobody is really asking for those extra details. the anime could have handled it much much better, it had an opportunity to but chose not to. i wouldnt say that mana and sex are unrelated even in the anime, it's not farfetched when the anime has given far more extreme examples. the point overall is to get shirou to tap into rins magic circuits. despite the fact that rin was trained by someone who is a master and spiritual surgery and transfering yanking magic circuits out of somebody would leave them a vegetable. again an anime original method would have probably been much preferred over the Realta nua hulk jizz gamma dolphins. nobody is really looking for a graphic sex scene here..at least most people arent. Sex is generally considered a connection between two souls something that is played upon in things such as religion. it's smething that has been used from time to time. it's something that could have very well been handled better. |

Sex is generally considered a connection between two souls something that is played upon in things such as religion. it's smething that has been used from time to time. it's something that could have very well been handled better. I think we are pretty much in agreement here. I've only watched the RN VN which contained the H scenes. Are there other versions that used the "cleaner" magic circuit transplants? I.e. where did the MC idea come from the clean VN or the ufotable anime? As far as sex in stories go I'll admit it's a tricky subject. There's always that fine line between artistic and bonergenic. TBH I believe there's a time and place for both types of media but it almost goes without saying that inserting needless sex into any game/movie/series etc. can backfire and cheapen the plot. In this case, even if we forget about the H factor, i think sex as a recharge mechanism would raise too many unanswered questions. Would HS get a supplemental energy boost if they are fucked by proper magi? would sex with a female master produce the energy boost or is semen the key ingredient? If Kirei fucked Gilgamesh could he become even more powerful? If Shirou fucked Archer could he stay in this world longer? Also, would this be a form of masturbation? These philosophical questions are a can of worms. I don't know if you saw the series Parasyte but I thought the sex was appropriate. Like Shirou, this MC was on the eve of a deadly fight and the sex came across as a grounding force that helped him hold on to his eroding humanity/sanity. I agree that they should have used an anime only method to connect Rin/Shirou. At least anticipate the many questions the viewers would have and add in the appropriate answers. "The Tohsaka Crest is different from the rest because...", "I'm going to take that crest back after we're done...", "My training with Kirei allows me to do..." |

Damn the first scene made me think Rin and Shirou were really going to have sex. Glad that Saber already has ended her wish of saving Britain although there wasn't any elaboration which was understandable since it ain't her route. |

Darkmoq said: which edition of Realta nua did you get? i think it was the 2012 patch that lets you turn the scenes on and off. the whole point of RN in the first place is to remove the sexual content and make it more for a wider audience. the side effect though is that it does things like create plot inconsistencies in some areas and turn some things into almost 4kids level censoring.Maloghurst said: Darkmoq said: [spoiler]I'm a little surprised that people are actually defending the sex in the VN.

I myself thought the anime would have at least displayed this with the prospect of caster original content as apart of their relationship. at first they were doing it out of necessity then the 2 developed feelings for each other. you as a VN reader and anime watcher most certainly seen what others such as Shinji and Kirei were doing. so yea it would bring some questions up but i dont think it would be too big a can of worms. having a servant drink your blood provides as similar effect but it's not really the same as the master physically linking their body to the servant. and having mana being refined from them succubus style. and as you probably have found out by now yes succubi do exist in this verse. |

But if you ignore the actual way they had sex and the stupidity they said, the actual act itself was realistic. It's the same way as people generally want to have sex more after exercising or taking part in a competitive sporting event, it's biology. The entire context of the situation these two were in would have led any teenagers to getting together or showing SOME form of physical intimacy. It's a matter of realism for portraying two teenage characters, not about fap material or whatever. |

Oh wait, it already is due to lack of exposition. |

Until then sex magic isn't a good enough answer and I much prefer the hand on chest method the anime chose to do. do these explanations help you any? Magecraft Magecraft (魔術, Majutsu?), or Thaumaturgy is the artificial reenactment of a mystery, a miracle.[1] Following the entry for Magic, Magecraft is the ability to reproduce what can be scientifically realized regardless of time and funds.[2] The limits of Magecraft have changed with time, as science evolved and sorceries from before became technically possible through science. However, modern Magecraft remains far inferior from that of the past, so much that someone like Medea, who comes from the Age of Gods when Magecraft was much more powerful, would seem like a sorcerer to the eyes of a modern magus, even though what she can do is not really Magic. Magecraft that interfere with people’s mind do not need material compensation, but instead will take a toll on the user’s mind. Thaumaturgy Thaumaturgy is the general term used to refer to the several modern schools of Magecraft such as Astrology, Kabbalah, Alchemy, and Shinsendou. Divergences can be found among different schools, but the fundamental basis is “to convert Prana inside the user’s body to transform the external world”. The practitioner acts in accord with the system that each school operates under to execute a pre-built program. That “program” is a set of universal rules that interfere with nature once they are enforced. The power that enforces those rules is the prana of the magus and the command to do it is made through his circuits. The greater the interference, the greater will be the amount of prana consumed. Being originally magic, Thaumaturgy draws upon a predetermined power from the Root. However, because that amount of power is fixed, the more people draw from it at the same time, the more Magecraft’s capacities become mundane. In short, the greater is the collective number of magi, the weaker their individual power. Each school engraves their system of Thaumaturgical Theory into the world and uses the rules of that system to operate their spells. The efficiency of a system depends on how disseminated it is, as in the more people believe or use it. It is not uncommon for a system to not work properly when used outside its place of origin. In that regard, the teachings and holy words of the Church is the Thaumaturgical Theory with greatest number of believers and effective area. The main aim of the Magi’s academia is to turn the impossible possible. If something cannot be achieved with modern Thaumaturgy, the magi research and develop their arts just for the sake of changing that. Powerful sorceries like High Thaumaturgy and Greater Rituals are ultimately challenges in order to reach the goal called Magic. After a certain point of development, differences between power and even between Magic and Thaumaturgy start to lose their importance in practical terms. Battles between two great Magi will not be decided by their power, but by who possesses the system whose rules has the fewer tears. It is not the power behind them, but the concepts they work under. The activation of magecraft from an established school requires following a strict set of protocol, one step of which is spellcasting. When compared to the application process of a document, the act of application, acceptance, review, and issuance, spellcasting is the application step of magecraft. It is mostly a convention when utilizing magecraft with a broad foundation, but it has potent self-suggestive powers for those who practice their own style of magecraft. As the Magic Circuits that shape magecraft already exist inside a magus' body, incantations are the "personal adage" that help the magi transform themselves, a method to efficiently activate and mobilize the Magic Circuits. Spellcasting (呪文詠唱, Jumon eishō?) is not a method used to speak to the World, but to oneself. Different magi will utilize different incantations even for the same spell due to their distinct natures. Spells that speak to the World, classified as Grand Spells or Grand Rituals, and not to the individual are impossible for an individual to use under normal circumstances.[3] Magecraft is that "which governs the skills of past humans that science cannot explain" and science is that "which gathers the technology of future humanity that sorcery cannot reach." The two disciplines are absolutely incompatible with each other, but they are similar in a single respect. The pursuers of each practice seek continued prosperity, protecting the future of humanity.[4] Equivalent Exchange Equivalent Exchange (等価交換, Tōka Kōkan?) – The primary rule of Thaumaturgy. In order to create something, another object must be given as a price. It may also involve modification to an existing object. The base of all Thaumaturgy is the use of prana to produce something that either already exists or can exist. That which falls into the Phantasm category, something made out entirely of images and might even not exist naturally anymore, will be eventually wiped out by the world for being in conflict with this rule. Shirou Emiya is able to bypass this rule to some extent when it comes to his Projections, since everything that he Traces is actually being pulled out of his own internal world by the power of his Reality Marble. Reenactment Reenactment (再現, Saigen?) – The basis behind Thaumaturgical Theory is to reenact the miracles, the supernatural phenomena. Thaumaturgical Theory Thaumaturgical Theory (魔術理論, Majutsu Riron?) – Thaumaturgical Theories or also Foundation (基盤, Kiban?) are Greater Rituals (大魔術式, Dai Majutsu Shiki?) that "engrave" a Thaumaturgical System (魔術系統, Majutsu Keitō?) upon the World ─ a body of preestablished rules, fomented per the faith of the populace; arbitrated and regulated by the Thaumaturgical School to which they belong. Commands dictated by Mages are submitted through their magical circuits to the System, which processes said commands and executes functions ("Programs"). If it is believed that the subject of a mystery "exists," the World permits its existence. Definite affirmation of said belief is not required. For example, even though the majority of modern humans reject the existence of ghosts, modern science cannot outright demonstrate that they do not exist, and, thus, within the unconscious, there lurks the vague suspicion that "they might indeed exist." This sort of "suspicion" falls under the category of "faith." "Ignorance" is the force that opposes "faith." If the existence of ghosts is itself utterly unknown, faith cannot foment. In any case, if faith in a mystery is widely disseminated, a relevant Thaumaturgical Theory gains robustness. For a Theory weak in faith, "the power that engraves" is similarly infirm, and in other nations where its mystery is wholly unknown, implementation of descendant magecraft fails. The Thaumaturgical Theory of the Church, in form of its Holy Sacraments, is the most widespread and well stabilized in the world. Known Thaumaturgical Schools Curses aren’t taught at the Mage's Association and they are far behind the schools of the Middle East on that subject.[5][6] The Supreme Ultimate (太極図, Taikyoku?) is a philosophy originated in ancient China, a graphical representation of the Yin-Yang theory. Those who practice Western magecraft are incompatible with Chinese philosophies.[7] Alchemy – A school that focuses its studies around the flow of matter, most alchemists research on conversion of matter, but those of Atlas delve in the conversion of phenomena. Kabbalah (カバラ, Kabara?), the Hebrew word for '"tradition", is a major Thaumaturgical School from Europe developed by Solomon ibn Gabirol. Solomon created golems as his specialty. Aoko Aozaki uses one of its ancient branches, the Notarikon. Other branches include the Temurah and Gematria, the latter which was the basis for the Numerology of Michael Roa Valdamjong. Mechanisms Resistance Resistance (抗魔力, Kōmaryoku?), a power inherent of anyone with Magic Circuits, the capacity to resist spells which aim to control the target by the spiritual medium (those among the lines of sleep, paralysis and coercion). By circulating prana inside his Circuits, one can reject outside prana that tries to invade his self. Therefore, it is possible to disrupt a spell before it can complete itself. A very efficient form of defense, it makes it difficult to affect even lesser magi. Also, those who are not Magi but still possess Magic Circuits may unconsciously protect themselves like this. Because of it, most magi use spells capable of physical interference rather than just spiritual ones. However, what is being rejected is the prana, spell itself is not nullified. A spell that has already been completed and is manifesting its effects cannot be cancelled like this. Caster, however, is an exception. She can disrupt even completed spells due to her absurd amount of prana and because the structure of modern Magecraft’s spells are far inferior to those of her time. Breathing and Walking Breathing and Walking (呼吸・歩法, Kokyuu・Hohō?) is a key concept in Magecraft and Martial Arts. Though mainly affects one’s physical fitness, it also play a role in the strength of nature interference. The absorption of outer energy (breath of life) to connect your inner world to the outer world. The acts of inspiring, expiring and everything in between are part of a process that allows one to take in or release the gods. The Magi use incanted spells to cause a specific phenomenon to occur, but those whose breathing, movement, body and very existence can cause nature interference are beyond that. An example would be the Shinto practice of banishing evil spirits and other unnatural forces by just clapping. However, this particular skill is something that takes a lifetime to learn. Not valued by Western magi, but among the teachings of the east, the techniques of breathing and walking are high-level secrets that can’t just be imitated or easily learned. Therefore, Eastern schools always search for at least one individual capable of mastering them in a generation. Sometimes however, there are those who are simply born with the “proper way of breathing and walking”. As a result, their own body acts as one pure, natural Circuit. Those humans can reproduce greater mysteries than the magi without knowing anything about Thaumaturgy. When found while still on their childhood, they are treated as holy children or prodigies and usually take in by those who follow the supernatural path. Still, there are cases of those who grow up without learning about their true nature. Souichirou Kuzuki's martial arts training gave him some proficiency in this skill, although it is nothing near the level of Magecraft. Shirou Emiya's daily Magecraft training involves breathing exercises and during the fight with Gilgamesh he tried to bring his breathing pace down to normal conditions. Elements Full article: Elements. A magus normally has the capacity to manipulate at least one of them. However, there are cases of those who can manipulate Elements that are completely different from any of the ones specified above. Within the Mage’s Association, individuals like these tend to either very selective houses or not be part of the Association at all. Cases of magus who possesses more than one Elemental Affinity, and even affinity to Compound Elements, are also known. Usually said individuals try to master spells that make use of more than one Element at the same time (ex: “liquid manipulation” through the use of Water and Wind Elements). Those capable of manipulating all the five Elements receive the title of Average One and are very valued by the Mage’s Association. Methods to change one’s Elemental Affinity exist, but they are very painful and dangerous. The set of Elements that, according to the teachings of Magecraft schools, are the basic substances that shapes the world: Fire, Water, Earth, Wind and Void (Ether) or Water, Fire, Earth, Wood and Metal. Fire is called normal and Wind is said to be noble. Additional elements include Light, Darkness/Shadow, and Quintessence. Origin Origin (起源, Kigen?) is the orientation at the time that an event occurred. It is the starting point that defines one's existence and directs one's actions throughout life. It is the driving force from the inside of Akasha that managed to stream out of the Source and take material form. The form it can take at times is that of a human being, and all humans match their actions to be in harmony with the driving force that originated them from the moment they enter into the world. These actions are more along the lines of an inherent compulsion that could be called a person's instinct rather than a conscious decision. If a person becomes awakened to their Origin, it becomes nearly impossible to stray from their Origin if it's even possible in the first place. It becomes an impulsive behavior one would follow as though it were an absolute order. Souren Araya is capable of awakening one to their Origin, however he must receive consent from the person beforehand. He claims that death and Origins are related, and his various experiments on death are used to further his knowledge on them.[8] Under the system of Magecraft, Origins are used to describe precise details about a magus, while Elemental Affinity indicates one’s general alignment.[9] Magi with an Origin that is strongly expressed outwardly are sometimes removed from the normal alignments and there are times that the origin itself becomes the alignment. Most of those magi exhibit their talents as extreme specialists, allowing them to potentially reach higher grounds than normal magi. Even those without an Elemental Affinity are sometimes still capable of casting spells simply by following their Origin. It's possible for them to overcome great obstacles such as a lack of Circuts or a lack of talent for Magecraft altogether. Shirou Emiya's origin is "Sword" and his alignment as a Magus is also "Sword". He is unable to use magic of the five great elements with precision because he doesn't have any of them as an alignment, but it does allow for the manifestation of "Unlimited Blade Works."[10] Origins by characters: Souren Araya: Stillness (静止, Seishi?). Cornelius Alba: Refutation (反証, Hanshō?). Kiritsugu Emiya: “Severing” and “Binding” (【切断】【結合】, Setsudan Ketsugō?) Shirou Emiya, Archer (EXTRA): Sword (剣, Ken?) (may have been changed from his Origin at his time of birth). Tomoe Enjou: Worthlessness (無価値, Mu kachi?). Azaka Kokutou: Taboo (禁忌, Kinki?). Mikiya Kokutou: Unknown, described as "one that will never hurt others, more so than anyone else." Shiki Ryougi: Void (虚無, Kyomu?) Satsuki Kurogiri: Nostalgia (望郷, ?). Lio Shirazumi: Consumption (食べる, Taberu?). Others Colors Various colors are associated with certain beings. Blue (青, Ao?) - Color of those under Shinto. Judging by Kiri Nanaya's ability, there are those in the Demon Hunter Organization who follow its beliefs. Jougan are also this color. While Shiki Tohno's eyes turn blue when he uses Death Perception due to his eyes originally being Jougan, Shiki Ryougi's are also depicted with blue eyes. It is likely that not only Jougan, but the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception are things that came from the Gods. Silver (銀, Gin?) - Color of those under Shinto. They have yet to appear in any kind of form, but according to Nanaya Kiri there are a few of them in the Demon Hunter Organisation. Gold (金, Kin?) - Color representative of the demonic. Arcueid Brunestud's eyes turns into this color. Also, Nero's eyes were depicted as golden. Red (赤, Aka?) - Color representative of the demonic. Judging by Nanaya Kiri's ability, those who fall under the classification of 'demon' will likely be inclined towards this color. Similar beings are also likely to possess this color: Arcueid, vampire Satsuki, the fully-inverted Akiha, Roa (SHIKI), Len, White Len, Ciel (Roa), Kouma, vampire Sion. In Zepia's case... well, it's fine either way. Even if it's caused by overflowing blood.[11] Consecration Consecration (聖別, Seibetsu?), is the process of identification of a person’s Elemental Affinity through the use of sage, tarot cards and personality tests. Inversion Impulse Inversion Impulse (反転衝動, hanten shoudou?) is a state of being where one's mind is overpowered by other factors of their body. With the case of half-breed humans with Oni blood, it is that their non-human blood, their instincts, overpower their human blood, their reason. Arcueid Brunestud can possibly fall into such a state from not eating. As her form of taking in nutrition is different from that of humans, her appetite is more akin to lust, and she rarely falls into it because she does not place much priority on it. Noble Colors Noble Colors System is a special classification system of the Mage's Association used to grade special abilities such as Sorcery Traits. By the way, the term "Noble Colors" is used to refer to special and innate things where the workings of the magic circuit are close to the movements of a celestial body (normally they're closer to the movements of the crust), and is innate and special.[10] In practice, however, it relates mostly with Mystic Eyes. Powerful eyes shine Gold, while those with powers that reaches the realm of gods have a multi-colored glow, such as the case of Jewel and Rainbow. Shiki Tohno's eyes are also a Noble Color. Known Mystic Eyes Noble Colors by characters: Crimson Moon: Rainbow. Rider: Jewel Arcueid Brunestud: Gold. Sorcery Trait Sorcery Trait (魔術特性, Majutsu Tokusei?) is a Thaumaturgy "special feature". The general term given to special abilities that are somewhat related to Magecraft. To a lineage of magi, their Sorcery Trait is a treasure as valuable as (or even more than) their Magic Crest. Although clan inherent Sorcery Traits are the more common kind, those that are unique and innate of a single individual are not unheard of. Mystic Eyes are considered a Sorcery Trait. Known Sorcery Traits by characters and clans: Edelfelt clan: Ore Scales (aka Sisters) – The capacity of effectively having two heirs to succeed their lineage and Thaumaturgical Crest. Einzbern clan: Holy Grail, Wish-Granting – Spellcasting without possessing the knowledge of the spell itself; to skip the thaumaturgical process altogether and recreate miracles just through the use of prana. Still bound to the limitations of the Magic Circuits. Fraga clan: Gods Holder (aka Tradition Carrier) – A special quality found in the old blood of this family, remains of a mystery of the Age of Gods in the form of a virus. Not an hereditary trait carried in the genes, but rather a pathogen that has been transmitted throughout the generations. Allows the recreation and use of the Noble Phantasm Fragarach. Kirei Kotomine: A nameless Sorcery Trait used for opening wounds that makes him fit for spiritual surgery. Sakura Matou: Imaginary Numbers. Magic Circuits Magic Circuits (魔術回路, Majutsu Kairo?) are a pseudo-nervous system that spreads itself through the human body and what qualifies a person to be a magus. Their normal functions are to act as paths that convert Life Force into prana, but humans learned how to control it and use it to perform mysteries. They are that which connects the material world to the astral plane, the paths which connect to the foundations underlying Grand Rituals.[1] If prana is the force that actualize the rules of a Thaumaturgical Theory’s system, then the Magic Circuits are the pipelines that converts prana and transmit that energy from the magus to the system. Mechanisms Circuits Various states of Shirou's Magic Circuit. Magic Circuits reside within the magus’s soul, and what is found on the body is just a physical expression of them that stretches itself throughout the body in a fashion similar to the nervous system. They are composed of core components, which are the actual Circuits so to say, and bypasses that connect those components to the brain. Magic Circuits do not change and once damaged they cannot be repaired. Because organic activity is necessary for the operation of Circuits, it is a common mistake to think that they are literally a part of the magus body. There are rare occasions in which the Circuits continue working even after the practitioner’s body has ceased all vital functions. In these cases, destruction of the brain is necessary to stop the Circuits. Their Quality and Quantity are ranked through letters like Magecraft, and their Composition often varies between magi. As like any other organ, the number of Magic Circuits that one possesses is determined at birth and cannot decrease or increase naturally, meaning that those from older lineages will be more powerful. But it is possible to change that number artificially through a number of methods. One of those methods is through the establishment of a mystic pass between two magi from which the Circuits can transferred. As the Circuits are located in the soul, a fusion of body and mind is required during the transplant. However, the process carries the same risks and complications as a transplant of organs. Furthermore, as the Magic Circuits become unstable if tampered while in use, there is a possibility of mutual destruction if a contract similar to that between a magus and his familiar has not been established beforehand. For that and other reasons, lineages of magi seek not to tamper with the Circuits of their members while they are alive, but rather try to produce descendants with the greatest "extra" number of Magic Circuits possible. Note that number is not everything, and quality and precision of the Circuits are also an important factor that differs from lineage to lineage. The Aozaki bloodline is known for producing magi with a low quantity of Magic Circuits, but the great quality of their Circuits is more than enough to compensate for that. Meanwhile the Barthomeloi possess a powerful brand of Magic Circuits known as Blue Blood Noble Magic Circuits (貴い魔術回路(ブルーブラッド), Burū Buraddo Tōtoi Majutsu Kairo?). A normal person rarely acquires Magic Circuits but in these cases they are considered as sudden mutations. While Kirei Kotomine was born with sudden Magic Circuits not of his lineage, he is not of this type. Kirei's Circuits were a gift from the divine sacrament, rewarding his father, Risei Kotomine, for years of pious worship. Kirei was born with "the right to recreate the miracles in the divine sacrament". This "right", in other words, was the Magic Circuits.[6] Still, the Circuits are ultimately something unnatural for the human body and their activity will cause pain and numbness to the magus. Their very presence in the human body is something uncommon and an ordinary person will have little to none. Also, the use of Magic Circuits increases the magus bodily temperature, which is what allowed Kiritsugu Emiya to discover enemy Masters on the battlefield through the employment of a thermal sensor during the 4th Grail War. Magic Circuits are “opened” when prana is run through them for the first time. From that point on, the user can activate them at will through the use of a mental trigger. The image that is related to that trigger will differ from a magus to another: Shirou’s image involves firing the hammer of a gun, while Rin Tohsaka’s is that of a knife stabbing her heart. There are also those that can only use that trigger under predetermined conditions, such as after performing self-injury or when sexually excited. Prior to the Fifth Grail War, Shirou Emiya believed that he had to “make” a new Circuit every time he wanted to perform Magecraft. In each attempt to do so, he temporarily (and inadvertently) converted parts of his nerves into makeshift Magic Circuits. A very dangerous procedure, as failure would result in his body breaking down from the inside out and even with success the resulting pain would be comparable to inserting a hot iron rod into the spine. Furthermore, when his natural born Circuits were finally opened, his nervous system went haywire due the sudden intake of energy. At first, neither of his teachers of Magecraft (Kiritsugu and Rin) noticed that habit of his. Differing from the Magic Circuits of regular humans, Saber has a Magic Core (魔術炉心, Majutsu Roshin?) granted by her Dragon blood. Its capacity is far greater than any human can achieve. While a magus' body can be considered a machine which creates magical energy, Saber's Core acts as a factory which creates magical energy. Something like Prelati's Spellbook has a Prana Reactor (魔力炉, ?), supplying essentially limitless power to its wielder. Beings like Lugh Beowulf and Arcueid Brunestud have Regression to the Age of Gods (神代回帰, ?) as their own style of Magic Circuits. It represents the extent at which they are capable of producing Mysteries that existed on Earth before Magic. They are ranked with quantifiable letters like Magic Circuits. Their Quality ranking represents "how distant from what humans are capable of" when reproducing their pure Mysteries. Their Quantity ranking represents power, the higher the quantity, the greater the degree of influence over the surrounding environment. C rank Quantity allows for the display of power over a village at most. Their Composition represents the era of the "Mystery", such as Runes, Kabbalah, and Black Magic do so in magecraft. While similar in concept, things like Alice Kuonji's Ploys are not from the Age of Gods and cannot be assigned a number in Regression to the Age of Gods.[7] Magic Circuits By Characters Average magus: 20 Magic Circuits. Touko Aozaki: 20 Magic Circuits.[1] She is the first in the history of her family with so many Magic Circuits. Her parents had none whatsoever and it has been implied that her sister does not have much more than them. Souren Araya: 30 Magic Circuits.[1] Cornelius Alba: Unknown. Implied to have more than both Touko and Araya. Shirou Emiya: 27 Magic Circuits.[2] Each Circuit can barely handle 10 units of prana while being damaged in the process. Considering the amount that he has, such low quality of Magic Circuit is inconsistent. Rin Tohsaka: 40 inborn Magic Circuits and subs that are 30 each.[2] Maximum output is of 1000 units of prana. prana/life essence Prana (魔力, Maryoku?) is the power source used to actualize the mysteries of Magecraft. Mechanisms Prana, Magical Energy, powers all magecraft, and it can be analogous to gasoline. There have been many names for it. The energy in the atmosphere is called Mana, the meaning of which is approximately the same as in Polynesian culture. Ether is not a form of prana, but instead something else entirely.[1] It cannot exist independently or do anything by itself, so is always bound to some sort of recipient. For that reason, the magi use it mostly by imbedding it into an object or as a catalyst to initiate nature interference Magecraft. The only exceptions to said rule are the Holy Grail of the Einzberns and True Demons, who recreate miracles by just releasing energy. Types Prana is divided into two types, and there is a vast difference between that permeating the natural environment and that generated by an individual. Mana Mana (マナ, Mana?) is the life force of the planet and exists in the atmosphere. It is produced by the world itself. Though Mana is usually found in great quantities, it takes a long time to replenish once it is used up. It is the primary source of energy for Nature Spirits. If the atmosphere of an area is controlled by something, it is impossible to use large scale magecraft within the environment because the prana cannot be utilized. Only small-scale spells utilizing an individual's internal storage can be utilized. Od Od (オド, Odo?) is the energy found within living organisms such as humans and animals. Once depleted, the Magic Circuits that are stored in the human soul will begin to replenish it. Od is produced as long as one lives, but the amount a person can store varies from individual to individual. Prana Creation of Prana The difference between Mana and Od is their abundance. Mana can be found almost anywhere and in great quantities, thus it is called the Greater Source by the magi. As Od is the energy inside humans and animals, it is much smaller in amount and is called the Lesser Source. Strictly speaking, Mana and Od are energy in its raw state, whereas prana is the name given to the energy once it is converted by the Magic Circuits. Mana can be taken in accordingly with the capacities of the Magic Circuits, but the actual conversion process will take time. Regarding nature interference Magecraft mentioned before, at least for large-scale spells, activation requires the use of Mana regardless of the amount of od that the magus has. In fact, it is common practice among the magi to start up their spells with Od and then keep them running with Mana. Only small-scale spells that do not interact with the environment directly are performed entirely with Od, an example of which would be Reinforcement. Prana itself does not have any elemental attribute. However, once imbedded into an object that does have said attribute (such as jewels) or that is under the influence of nature spirits, it will attune itself to the elements in question until the moment that is released. The magic energy itself is held only inside the body fundamentally and if released in the outer world, it will return to life force and be scattered into the Greater Source. This has also been expressed as "evaporation". Magic power is prone to merge with the fluids (such as blood or semen) of the magus, and these fluids are good at holding in magic energy for some time even after leaving the body. Because of this, by drinking a magus' blood, one can replenish one's magic power. Magi with monetary problems have also been said to sell their body fluids, in which magic energy has been merged, to the Association. Specific Od levels Average matured magus: 25 units of prana (Fate). Ciel: 100 times the amount of a magus based on an average magus having 40, giving her over 4000. Shirou Emiya: 20~30 units of prana. Sakura Matou: Normally, she should have about the same amount as Rin, but the Worms in her body are constantly consuming her energy. When connected to the Holy Grail and Angra Mainyu, the energy inside her body is equivalent to 1,000,000,000,000 units of prana, already on the level of a Counter Guardian. Rider’s Pegasus: 100 times the amount of a magus, so about 2500 units of prana. Saber (with Shirou as Master): 1200~1300 units of prana. Rin Tohsaka: 20 times the amount of an average matured magus, so about 500 units of prana. Maximum output is about 1000 units of prana. Aoko Aozaki is capable of absurd feats of Magecraft using just her Od. An approximate comparison would be of a car traveling 1,000 kilometers with only one liter of gasoline. Caster’s cost for a bolt of light is around three times Shirou's full capacity, and she can launch over ten at once in multiple volleys. Shirou Emiya’s cost for: Reinforcement: 2 units of prana. Tracing: 5 units of prana. In ancient Egypt there was a practice of sewing one's eyelids together to prevent prana from escaping the body Saber’s consumption (with Shirou as Master): Battle with no damage: 10 units of prana. Amount regained per day: 8 units of prana. Amount needed to maintain her body per day: 6 units of prana. Amount spent fighting in the first day: 250 units of prana. that about the small gist of it, i think it gives the idea. there are some spoilers here and there but i dont think you're gonna read tsukihime, and i think you've SEEN F/Z? i recall you saying so. BUT JUST TO SAY IT ANYWAYS warning contains spoilers. there are some small HF spoilers though. |

It's not like Archer needed mana to use UBW. Now that's a whole other kettle of fish xD. Independent Action ignores the need for mana as well as providing A Endurance or EX Battle Continuation. Even if we accept all this info from Retconville, they could have just handwaved Shirou's powerup by saying that his mana pool/circuits/whatever had increased along with his knowledge thanks to his link with Archer, anything would have been better than what we got in this episode. To be honest that does make more sense, as it would also explain what happens to shirou later when he manages to be strong and skillful enough to defeat Gilgamesh in close quarters combat |

This episode is ok. Basically I really feel like the anime has sort of been trending downhill since the emiya vs. archer fight, to the point that I simply just don't feel like watching any more. I kept my expectations reasonably high because of ufotable's past work, and I'm still disappointed with how they handled the most important parts of the whole UBW route. Let's see if the last 2 episodes can save it. |

Sperm dolphins confirmed. I've given up on the second season. No matter how good the next fight is, it wouldn't make up for how much they dropped the ball on nearly everything else, and they already ruined the most important fight anyway. DEEN pretty much one-upped ufotable on all the important scenes in the second half of UBW except Rho Aias and Gae Bolg. But even for all of Ufo's flashy rendition, it creates a plot hole because Gae Bolg tears Archer up, but then in the very next scene is perfectly-clothed without a scratch on him. And so Fate continues its trend of mixed-bag adaptations. Still isn't a terrible series but the fact that ufotable had such a strong start makes it all the more disappointing to see it fall so far from where it began. |

The narrative rhythm was normal, there was not even time no disruption of what we expected. The characters almost always are of two kinds, those who are too embarrassed to everything and so those fools do not understand anything; Would that there were sometimes also the option C. Perfect in the drawings and animations, just missing a great battle, action-packed and wickedness; fingers crossed. |
