Going by the general concensus of everyone else that actually isn't biased towards the VN, him being sarcastic or not doesn't take anything away from the fact that this episode was really good so yeahhhhhhh :)


I beg to differ. They made Shirou look too good, I felt like it's completely bullshit even if he lost at the end. Not to mention he got saved again by another asspull.

And please don't listen to those people, they don't know what they're talking about.
I'll be sure to let you know my thoughts on the matter once I watch the episode but generally I disagree with most of you guys' "conplaints" so I doubt that it's that bad

DEENING.

Shirou bashing away gil's swords with swords in his hands instead of matching them by swordraining the same ones to cancel them out.

The funny thing is that he does it like once or twice at the start and then NOPE LETS SURF ON RHO AIUS.

Hell yeah ! Been waiting for this moment, Shirou beats the crap out of that loli killer while Emiya's theme is playing, it'd be even better if they had done more melee fighting scenes. Great ending, all that left is an epilogue episode.

Oh well it could have been worse..............like Seiba finishing shit instead of ginger boy.

Unlimited MiuraSFX Works is finally going to end at least.

Btw is True End really confirmed or Miura is just going to troll everyone with GE or Miura Special End?

Good episode.
Saber's Excalibur was cool.
Unknown to death Archer had a nice come back.
And the fight between Archer and Shirou ws good.
I wonder how the epilogue will be.

Good episode after a tedious 2nd half of the season.

I don't think this is as good as it could've been 7/10ish---yes the production values are good but I feel it stopped being fun at some point. The first half was OUTSTANDING though.

Anyway, it stopped being fun due to:

1. Uneven pacing. Some things seem to happen suddenly or out of nowhere while others are really really drilled in (e.g. like Berserker going down like a bitch in 2 minutes while Archer lectures Shirou for 3 episodes).

2. It's also hard to enjoy the anime in the community because everything gets bogged down in visual novel stuff--I appreciate what the mods have done trying to banish that from the episode threads it's helped a lot. But you can't just enjoy the anime or debate it without being slapped down by someone who knows better lambasting you for not being familiar with the VN.

For me a 8+ animes have to be either very gripping (Fate/Zero, Steins Gate) or fuuuuuunnn (Haruhi, Baccano).

wow one the most hyped fight got butcherd hard, the point that shirou won was because UBW is faster but here he just deflect all swords by hand

He did use some swordrains along with deflecting swords with his hands, he was doing both.

I'm glad gil use GOB from all directions at one point like against Berserk.

No he did swordspam TWICE at start and then DEENED it which made Gil look dumb as all hell. It should have been going on ALL THE TIME while they are clashing. Not enough melee fight too.

No he did not.

He deflected at the start.
Then he did it again.
And then proceeded to DEEN it with swords at his hands instead.
Again it should be going on ALL THE TIME. Shirou stands absolutely ZERO chance against GOB fire if he did not cancel it out.

Anime made it look like Shirou has better attack skills than Berserker and it is not clear that he won through pure tactics and not strength. Hell it is not clear that he won.

No real reason, you should still watch the show and make your own decision. Ratings are always not that reliable.

At 16:55 they made it looks like Gilgamesh was hesitating to use EA, which is kind of bullshit in this life and death situation. And not like he has enough time to activate the EA's power against Shirou's charge, Ufotable saved his face so hard in this episode.

No, they didn't. You gotta remember that Gil is egotistical as fuck. Being forced to use Ea against Shirou is as humiliating as admitting defeat, so it makes sense that he'd hesitate.

I'd say this is by far the best episode the series has had. Besides the Archer asspull at the end, which apparently was poor in the VN as well, this episode was perfect. Shirou finally had his time to shine and it was glorious.

its not a asspull because his core didnt get detroyed remember at EP 12 they even showed assassin core


someone just post the pic when archer got shot by GOB you can clearly see that only 2-3 weapons hit him

I'm a VN reader. Gil didn't even have the time to hesitate in the VN, as it happened so fast.
It makes sense in the anime regardless, though. Gil wouldn't use Ea or Enkidou easily on a lowly human like Shirou.

lol at all the hate. So many 1/5. I thought that episode was fairly decent besides the weird asspulls (why archer is still around??).

People say they didn't show how Shirou's swords are faster than Gil's, I think that's wrong, they showed it from the start. Shirou didn't use range all the time, just when he thought he needed it.

EXCALIBUUUUUUURRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!

Holy fuck that episode was epic from beginning to end

Gil being smug and arrogant as fuck to Saber and Shirou essentially saying goodbye whIle coming to terms with their situation and Shirou FINALLY taking that last leap to become the bad as she truly was

WE GOT THE CHANT......PRAISE TATSUYA WE GOT THE UBW CHANT

Everything about that fight was perfection, Gil showcased why he is a boss and Shirou displayed just how much of a badass he can be....And I also loved how they explained why Shirou won because he is essentially Gil's kryptonite and due to Gil's arrogance he was completely outclassed in that reality marble

Absolutely brilliant.....I dunno why the Brigade Brigade are bitching about Shirou falling.....Even Gil himself admitted that he fucking lost lol, what more do you even need

But to top it all off.....Best boy GARcher came back for one more round and went out in style....That goodbye between Rin, Archer and Saber was nothing short of beautiful

11/10 Art, animation and dat OST was not godly and orasmic proportions
