No but the Berserker fight was anime original.
That is, it's not shown in the VN, we leave off without seeing it, and only know the results.

And it's unlikely he used UBW in the VN.

Ah okay, so it is actually part of Stay Night minus the fight. Thanks :)

No no, the fight happens, just not the way it does here.

The route is "Fate" by the way.

So did Tohsaka ever found out that archer was Shiro's future self?

Well, it is quite obvious who Archer is if you watch the episode to the end of the credits. Remember Rin's pendant that she used to save Shiro earlier in the show? What's that on the ground there...? :P

I'm also currently celebrating the 10th year anniversary (hard to believe its been a decade!) of the F/SN anime by rewatching the show right now, and I must say that to this day, this episode is probably the best and most memorable of the lot.

Archer was such a badass and went out with such a bang. Also watching it in English for the first time also to mix it up a little and I must also say that the VA doing Archer's voice should be commended... he nailed all the UBW lines much better than the 'engrish' original. The rest of the VA cast is pretty good too.. except maybe Sakura. :)

You dont even need to see the pendant to know. His final words to Shiro, the flashbacks mid fight... not to mention that one close up of Archers face smirking like Shiro. Wasnt subtle at all. Hoping the rest of this is as good as this episode

Lolisviel was pretty frightening this episode.

Awesome episode.

Archer fought like a true hero. Sadly, he died like a true hero.

The different ending was great.

Next episode: Tsunderin becomes lesbian for Mother Saber?

Good episode but... what a bad archer this Archer was. The bow appearance was only there to justify the class but between one explosive arrow and so many sabers, it just doesn't work. Classes are really ridiculous.
Even if I dislike Heracles' madness, at least the special ability to survive death a few times does suit a Berserker.

The fight was nice in itself (what happened) but what was shown wasn't. In another situation, I would have said that it was lame.

Between the Archer/Shirô relationship featured before, the multiple weapons materializations, having some established relationship with Ilya (and not killing her) and the pendent similar to Rin's, the "deceased" ghost was either Shirô (weird, since it was said that Servants were summoned souls of past and present heroes) or someone he knows. Was he, like, in love with his Master? o_O


4/5 And now, Shirô has two girls entirely dependent of him -_-"

2nd or 3rd. It was when Rin saved for the first time Shiro's life.

Damn, I never thought who Archer might be... I never though a servant might come from the future as well.

Glad to finally see Archer vs Berserker full fight.



I guess him using UBW makes sense since there's no way he would've killed Herc that many times without it.

The fight was shit though.

So that's the well-known UBW. I didn't feel but for him though, anyway I hope something happen in the next 10 episodes because I'm dissapointed of this. This compared to Fate/Zero is nothing.

Archer actually has a thing for Shirou. lol. Despite all this time he seems to possess a hostile intention on Shirou.

Damn, cause he used 2 (I guess) deadly move. I can't tell which one is his Noble Phantasm. Prolly the Unlimited Blade Work.

Killed 5 times? What? My guess is Berserker can revive itself or Illya has some resurrection magic.

Rin should have summon Archer using the command seal when they're far enough. I know it's risky but it's worth a shot.

Well,RIP Archer. I think Rin will support Shirou from now on.

This episode gave us enough hints that Archer is

Wow, thanks for the massive spoiler. I know I actually can't blame you but shit, I really got spoiled. I clicked on that hoping for a different answer but it sucks man, it really does.

Archer's such a moron. Could've killed Illya at any time, but instead focused on the unkillable Herc.

Damn so Archer really died and it's only episode 14. Well those did feel like final words when Archer talked to Shirou. But I guess it's kind of weird that someone died while trying to save another. Well we'll never know his identity now that he's dead, atleast not in this route.

New best episode!
- Wow, i love Archer so much now, like he's so amazing
- That little incantation speech is fire
- Berserker was killed.... 5 times? Does he have like more lives than others as an ability?
- I don't know how, but i'm pretty sure archer is Shirou. From the pictures of him that come up, his projection magic, and the fact he left the necklace behind. Brilliant.
- Does this mean Archer would be Shirou from a different timeline? I know this series likes to mess with those. Or maybe the grail can summon spirits from the future too?
- Too bad he's gone now, thats annoying. 5/7 to go
- Poor Rin will have to fend for herself

So this is the OST I've been hearing a lot over the last 10 years, being played during Archer's Unlimited Blade Works, what a badass.

Emiya, the protagonist of this show hasn't done anything over the span of these 14 episodes. I can tell that they're setting it up for him to do something during the finale but man, no way he's trying to suggest that they go back to Illya's mansion for Archer when the reason he's gone is to get them back to safety. He's a nice guy, but very much a dumbass.

OST in question,
