Finally, the long awaited battle scenes, still impressive like in the previous season.

I was hoping that the 8th Card would take appearance of a young man with short blonde hair

Shit i have many things to say. are illya and kuro is stupid ? why they were staying to save bazzet?

Because Bazett is the only one who so far actually put up a fight against him and if she's gone they would all be 100% screwed anyway?
Because 13 year old girls are not ruthless sociopaths to abandon another person to death?

at last, i can see a battle scene again, after some summer vacation crazy stuffs.
the transformation scene was cute, but ruby and sapphire comments are a bit distracting for me.

Nice transformation scene! Also, great use of Emiya theme.

I bet all budget went to this episode, it was so action-packed it flew away really fast.
So who is this mysterious heroic spirit? Someone we know? I would swear it was voiced by Shirou's VA but can't be really sure.



So, no Fragarach for Bazett?

LOL at dat skirt-less Caren in the end, nice reference to Shirou's remark in FHA.

Based Tatsuya Kato.



That was just amazing!!!! Specially the use of music. The best EMIYA (Girl Evolution!) arrangement was played again, and Bazzet's theme is as badass as her. Did I hear a new arrangement of The Girl Must Hit?

Top notch animation. Epic episode. Re-watch value = OVER 9000

That's a pretty epic transformation,
but a bit to long?
Transformation scenes are often long... Especially if you haven't seen it for a while. They usually have a short version and a full version as well, i've seen like 3 minute long ones before. They're like an obligatory tradition.

Seriously though, all of the show is good, the previous wasn't wasted space or filler, it didn't "take too long to get there," all the previous stuff was great in a DIFFERENT way. Not to mention stupendously hilarious.

Shit got pretty intense pretty quick tho, good thing they got away...

She already used the attack-version(Gouging Dagger of the War God) of it to clear the way through GOB spam int his part:

and it used all three bullets, so she can't use it anymore right now.

No she can make new ones but it takes time.


She clearly had three for this one, but the case can hold five. Even if she had more in the case, the case is now somewhere in that mirror world, thus gone.

Yes, I'm sure this animation pales in comparison to the almighty fight scenes of 80's gundam shows.

Why the fuck do you even watch anime? All you do is bitch and bitch like a fucking whiner over every show you CHOOSE to watch. Nobody is forcing you to act like a fucking moron every week. Just watch your 1 annual gundam show a year and crawl back into your hole of pseudo-elitism.

I've been following the manga for a while (even caught up to the latest chapter) and after all the filler, it is good to have an actual fight scene that has impact (at least compared to UBW). Hope there will be less CGI for the final fight.

Bazett was such a beast in this episode. It makes up for all the humiliation she went through in the past 6 episodes and is a good reminder why she is one of Type-Moon's most badass characters.

Dat sword spam though... So much better than ufo. Silver Link is delivering so much more than ufo did in the last cour.

Final rating: 8/10 (-1 becase did not show "The Truth" that the manga had and -1 for the long transformation sequence)

I keep returning to this episode because of just how BRILLIANT every single second of it is and how freaking well directed it is. I mean from starting off with Bazett's entrance(I am sure that scene had more camera movement and angle changes than whole ufoubw)




To the viewpoint switching to first person view as Chloe is about to broken-phantasm Exaclibur:

Or the blur effect on Chloe to signify the extent and brightness of the explosion:


The episode is just FULL of inventive and very beautiful direction choices. I can't think of another nasuverse episode to reach this level of greatness.

Don't forget first person view when Luvia was going around Gilgamesh, setting gems for Sign: Jormungandr. My jaw was down during that whole sequence from sheer amazement.

Yeah, could take a long time to just list all the awesome moments in this episode.

Luvia setting up the gems was pretty cool to watch. Kuro's whole attack was pure awesome in terms of hearing that monologue as she prepared the attack and then just silently unleashed it. It is nice to see a show realize that you can monologue while things are going on.

Then of course you had Bazett's attacks, the sword spam of doom, the last ditch effort to gouge out the card and then the "hey guys" kind of moment at the very end of the episode.

Wasn't Berserker's intentional though? Something about For Someone's Glory manifesting under Berserker as a black alien haze that makes him unreadable. I believe once he revealed himself in the final battle the CG was gone. Could be wrong, though. Have to check.

Extravagant episode!
no mercy instantly using EA!
Even Bazett didn't stand a chance...or maybe stood a chance because she was able to fight properly but it was clearly seen that she still struggled!
OMG the 8th card is even going into their dimension!
7/5.

Not bad in every sense of the episode, there is comedy as there is seriousness. Interesting plot, dynamic and action-packed narrative that makes pleasant enjoyment. Choreography beautiful and well-made, thanks to animations and drawings of excellent quality. Cliffhager successful.

Biscuit appeared at the last second.

Luvia chose a revealing and rather unfitting outfit for the battle. Not that I mind though.

Awesome action and teamwork. Especially Rin's technique was cool.

The enemy proved to be too strong, looks like, that they have to nuke that place.

"But then why has Kuro left the curse alone?" Because she doesn't how to cure/purge it(duh...).

They didn't even follow their own plan to end it in 1 strike. Nigga Illya should've shoot it together with Illya and Miyu in Rin's amplification circuit of mana. Otherwise, it is not a first strike and does lesser damage.
