Great episode! I'm getting slightly annoyed at Iskander's master. For someone who fights as a noble warrior, his master is a disgrace, but I hope he does improve.

Diarmuid vs Saber!! Getting good!!!

And of course Iskander himself. No fear, no hiding BS. Ready to fight anyone that stands between his way.

Let's go!!!

Nice episode, and I never expected Rider to convert this into a threesome. Hyped.

I like the battle where each of them ups the other and shows their hidden skills. Saber proves to be intellectual in deciding how to tackle the enemy. And Kiritsugu made the right call not to attack the asssassins.

Without change,we end up becoming the very person we hate.


I was dead until the moment I met you. I was a powerless corpse pretending to be alive. Living without power, without the ability to change my course, was bound to lead me to a slow death.

The fight alone in this episode blows away everything the Deen Fate series had to offer wow.
Also Rider at the end was so awesome lmao.

I like Iskandar. Cool dude.

Nobody is going to answer this anyway, guess I will have to wait and see but
How do these heroes work? do they all know each other (as in have heard the name atleast), do they only know who was a hero before them? How aware are they of the grail war? They seem to do this stuff every year, not just for the 4th time now
where to they even come from? When they die, do they just respawn in the next war?

Im looking forward to see the answers to this.

there are grail wars that happen in alternate universes, but that's not relevant to the story here.
in this universe, there has only been 4 grail wars so far, FZ's war is the fourth, and FSN's war will be the fifth.

^ this is isn't really a spoiler since FSN anime neglect to explain it and FZ is meant to watched after all 3 routes of FSN, but I've marked it as a spoiler anyway, in case you're interested in reading the VN at some point

Ah I see. Thx for the quick response!

I was just wondering because Saber seems to be completely aware of the grail, what it means and their time while Iskander was like "you wear pants these days?" The general way the servants interact seems like its some kind of sport to them. Also why do servants even care about wishes? Only the master gets his wish anyway, or do both get one?

no problem

the grail appears in Arthurian legends, although she doesn't know if this fuyuki grail is the same thing that appeared during her time or not, what matters to her is that it could grant her wish

the Fate route(first route of the VN) is saber's route and that's where her backstory and character is explored

that's just Iskandar's personality, Saber and Lancer are both knights so they feel honored to be fight each other, Caster is an insane child murderer, and Gil is arrogant to the extreme

Urobuchi also mishandled saber's character, she isn't supposed to care about honor and code of chivalry so much

both the winning master and servant each get a wish

I assume this was a different Lancer than the one in SN 2006. But they both had the Gae Borg technique.

So they think Saber's master is a novice, eh? Well Kiritsugu fooled them for good.

I liked the blending of different era that happened in this fight. Some use traditional weapon, some use magic, some use high tech weapon.

Okay, I'm pretty hooked now. I'm so pleased they got off the top of that bridge. Rider's master precariously clinging on to those girders was making my palms sweat. I hate heights.

If that cut tendon doesn't heal, does that mean Saber has lost the use of her thumb and is just going to bleed out from that wound? If so, she's not got long to live I guess. I've got a feeling that plot armour will save her in some fashion - she seems like a character in it for the long haul.

Lancer's still looking pretty hot ;)

Wow, thats gotta be one of my favourite anime fights. You can see how careful both of them are of each other, as they slowly reveal their cards to each other. Not being able to see Saber's sword was interesting for Lancer to fight against, and it was very pleasing to see him use two giant spears with two different strategies, given they have different abilities.

-Being cursed for people to fall in love with Lancer is hilarious, I wonder if there will be further mention of that with Saber (i think it worked on me)
-I love how rider just comes and third wheels their fight at the end
-It was awesome when Saber revealed her sword
