I was expecting Tiamat to look worse but except the one upper body scene posted above I was fine with it.Even the snake-hair look like hair that end up in snake heads.

I hope they polish it tho.

This ep aside, to the users that were complaining about FGO players "spoiling" shit but now are posting identities left and right..... I hope you choke on hot pepper sauce.

Really nice episode! I wasn't expecting Tiamat to be THAT huge.

Ushiwakamaru's "I deserve a head pat" had me screaming all around. Ushi deserves all of the love in this world! I know I'm going to suffer so much watching next week's episode... :'(


It happens next episode? ...... noooo, it's to soon D:<

Leonidas really had the "hands-on" approach while educating Ritsuka about how to stay fit and healthy. I imagine some yaoi fangirls squealing when they see the way Leondias picked Ritsuka up from the ground like that. ^^'

Overall, I though this episode was pretty good. The animation wasn't at its best, but we still had some nice action with Ushiwakamaru and Ana's solo fight with the lion beast was very good. Same goes for the chat between Merlin and Ana about being inhuman and all. It was insightful and satisfying.

As for Tiamat, her CGI model was alright. From the distance shot, her facial detailing was lacking, but her CGI snakes looked good. I just hope the studio doesn't screw up with her CGI model in the big fight next episode. Fingers crossed...

I little bit bothered with cgi, but its still in tolerateable level (its still considerebly good compared to arifureta etc). I hope they improve it on BD version. Overall, nice episode since this is just beginning to certain event. True fate series vibe starts from here.

Also, as fgo player who finished babylon, I dont remember we talked to leonidas as much as anime does o.o

Tiamat has some nice pair of...

"The future is always blank. Only your willpower can leave footsteps there."

"Ruling over death means ruling over life. Death is the climax of life. To have the best death, you must honor life."

Merlin is somewhat useful this episode. Also we finally meet the mother of all, Tiamat. Though she's not fully awakened.
When someone asks me why I like anime, I'd say Just Because.

Before the actual fight she still didn't use her mystic eyes.
This is just the passive effect of these eyes existing.

Damn i don't remember Gorgon being this huge, Great way to make her intimidating i suppose, Also im happy they are adapting the Ritsuka dreams. Makes Solomon a more interesting villian.

A bit average episode this time. The animation wasn't the best and leaving aside the talk between Ana and Merlin, the rest of the episode wasn't really that interesting.

And regarding the last sequence, angry big snake mama finally made her appearance but she looks... a bit odd depending on the camera angle. Honestly, It's not a big deal but I hope the studio can handle the upcoming fight against her in a satisfactory way.

Pretty sure it's mainly because
has a bunch of passive magic resistance buffs and stuff that provide constant protection to Mash and Ritsuka.

That is true, but the thing in this episode was much simpler than that: those weren't eyes of petrification.
She didn't actually use them, a paralyzing (with fear alone) glance is like a constant passive of those eyes, but she can choose to "activate" the petrification or not.

Great episode!

Seems Ana is affraid of reveling all the truth about her!

Ushiwaka and Ana's fight sequences were really awesome, and with support of Merlin, Ana managed to one shot that demonic beast! That Foo's save on Ana was awesome, did know that Foo had magic too!

Tiamat made her appearance, really dont know if they can defeat her, looking foward next episode!

hmm, a good episode

I thought Greek hoplite armor was just brass plate (with ab muscle adornment ofc), so the fact these guys look like Roman legionnaires is kinda triggering

oh, you faked me out Fate, good job
I was positive snake lady was Medusa in Gorgon form...you got me

Just imagine that Roman armor originated from Gil's vault an dyou will be fine.His armor definitely isnt Sumerian anyway.

It's an inside joke. In the game, they re-use assets all the damn time, including those damn Roman mobs even in non-Roman setting like Babylonia singularity. So the anime just continued with it since it's already a joke among the fandom and TM loves their self-referential humor.

Wait, so one purple-haired loli character disappears and the another purple-haired monster appears, coincidence much? Isn't this basically the same plot twist as with Jeanne and their Alter enemy in the Orleans arc? How come there are always the same Servants twice?

What?

Did you even watch the previous eps where the purple haired monster was introduced?

What is this nitpicking?

pretty sure orleans was the only other instance in the main story where something like this happened
"I like young-girl sexual creations, Lolicon is just one hobby of my many hobbies," he says.
I ask what his wife, standing nearby, thinks of his "hobby".
"She probably thinks no problem," he replies. "Because she loves young boys sexually interacting with each other."

Gorgon's Tiamat's CG looks really uncanny in some angles, but overall they did her design (and size) justice. That's one big snek!

Ana was at her cutest this episode. Just wanted to give her a good ol' hug.

Ushiwakamaru's game face is so screenshot-worthy. Love it.

Finally able to see Merlin in action. Must have powered up Ana's buster attack so much to be able to one-shot the boss like that lmao.

Finally had the time to watch this after being so busy with thesis for the past few weeks omg.

I'm always down for Fou beating up Merlin. Kinda wished they showed us more of their banter.

Anyway, a decently-adapted episode I guess. The conversation between Merlin and Ana was one of the memorable ones in the game. I wish they added the part where Merlin said that Ana's distrust for humans is starting to waver. It was an important piece to her character. They also skipped some of Merlin's dialogue about his feelings for humanity and some info on his history. They also skipped a lot of dialogue with Leonidas strategizing their plan to evacuate the people of Nippur and giving Ritsuka more advice and encouragement. It would have given him a more commander 'feel." It's like they wanted to get into action immediately.

Didn't expect Tiamat/Gorgon to be that big but holy shit I do appreciate it. Truly a monster to be hold.

CGI is ehhh but at least they switch to 2D for closeup shots.

Medusa aka Fate/stay night Rider is always getting her ass kicked with ease. I hate that, I mean she should be overpowered with pegasus, transforming people to status and her hair too...
I feel better to see her with the power that she has to have.

I hope this isnt all Mash has to offer because she seems kinda weak/useless right now. (or maybe I'm just too used to Saber wrecking shit in the Fate series)

As of right now shes only eye candy and thats about it.

When did I say at the beginning of the series? I'm asking if she gets any better or is she like this throughout the whole series? I'm assuming not due to your reply. lol

You compared her to Saber who only knows how to lose or get a serious injury in every fight, even when she is "superior".

And Mash is facing enemies way stronger than what we saw Saber fighting in Zero and FSN. Excluding Heracles.

Ana was saved by the pokemon.

For a second I thought Ana turned into that thing but since Enkidu called her mother then no, lol.

So.. there's 3(2 if Ana and FSN Rider is the same person) purple haired female with the same hairstyle in this series , surely there must be a connection between them. What a convenient time for Ana to disappears isn't it?
