| lmao. Tokiomi is basically forced to kiss his own Servant's ass because Gilgamesh is so egotistical. |
~my list
| I liked the previous OP/ED better, but the visuals of this ED were so pretty *_* Nice episode. Am I the only one who's rooting for Matou Karya? (Die, Tokiomi, with your little golden bitch) |

| Antagonizing people to provoke attacks totally proves your point :) Not that the King of Heroes would care about the opinion of a mongrel. |

| I feel like my posts are being stalked. I don't really care about the hows and whats of the flawless or flawed plans of the Masters. Tokiomi is an ass. Isn't that reason enough to shut him down? Karya has sacrificed his body for a little girl he wants to save from a woeful fate. This act should have been her father's responsibility. So yes, Tokiomi should die. |

He's already witnessed the state of Karya, so how can the thought that his daughter will turn into a similar being not cross his mind? In that case he's also stupid and, therefore, deserves to die. |

I was under the impression that Tokiomi would have approved any training method if it meant more glory for his "family". The discussion between him and Kariya was pretty clear on this, imho, but maybe the novel explains it better. |

Sakura doesn't have to do that, she just needs to grow up and give birth to a mage. Which doesn't require the same thing as Kariya. k0k0 said: Oh he definitely is, but so is Kariya.In that case he's also stupid and, therefore, deserves to die. |

That's an interesting point, if we take Sakura's words literally in HF Either way the whole glory thing is dumb, who really knows out side of the two families that made the deal? |

Not really Kinoko Natsu and Urobuchi both stated that had Tokiomi have known, he would have helped Kariya. In Tokiomi's eyes tho, Kariya was a raving madman trying to get his wife. nocorras said: Wasn't it mentioned in the LN that So lazy and haven't read the novel :/ so I'm not sure if the spoiler is true. Yes, that too. Tokiomi could only guarantee protection to ONE. so instead of having to chose he wanted a way so both could be protected. Tohsaka family is not important. They barely got the position they have by accepting christianity and by having an ancestor who was involved with Zelretch. Otherwise their name does not stand for much so only successor would be able to wield it as a privilege. If both grew in same family - one would get all, the other nothing and thus would detest the one who got all. And the one who is successor would have all doors opened to her, while the one who is not would only get roadblocks. Mahoyo showcases a Lot of what Tokiomi wanted to avoid with the sisters. GARBrotato said: k0k0 said: Oh he definitely is, but so is Kariya.In that case he's also stupid and, therefore, deserves to die. To be exact: EVERYONE in this war is stupid idiot. |

Sakura doesn't have to do that, she just needs to grow up and give birth to a mage. Which doesn't require the same thing as Kariya. She doesn't have to be a Mage herself? But didn't Tokiomi mention that she had 'the potential' that he didn't want to be wasted? If giving birth to a Mage is all that she was supposed to be used for, then she should've just married one, no? EDIT: Karya said Tokiomi would pit sister against sister in a battle, so that would mean Sakura wasn't just a vessel for the birth of a Mage, but would've fought. And we're agreed, aren't we, that Tokiomi fully knew the consequences of sending his daughter to the Matou family? In that case, I'm going to assume what kokusho36 said: He would have approved any training method if it meant more glory for his "family". I'm assuming you've read the light novels/other stuff. Fate/Zero is my first Fate/ series. |

Fate/Zero is my first Fate/ series. That potential does not require some sort of experimentation. Only knowledge, really. Being the most powerful child in matou family, she would be named successor(even if unable to get the magic crest, theoretically) and thus would have all that is needed available to advance. Being a successor of a powerful family would open all the doors provide less danger from association upon failures. IF she was to stay in the same family, then only one sister would be the successor and the other would have no protection - and with potential like that (Rin and Sakura has magic circuits and magic output that rivals the best of best in the whole magi world), the one who is not successor, would end up in pieces in some magi association lab at worst, or get a sealing designation and be hunted at best. No, Tokiomi would not agree to Zouken's true nature and to the training he does. conservative as he may be, Tokiomi is responsible for that land, and what Zouken is doing very clearly breaks the rules. Tokiomi simply was gullible enough to believe what Zouken was selling. Tokiomi saw what he did as giving equal chances to both children and allowing them to be their best. |

It does slightly change my opinion of Tokiomi. However, when he faced off Karya, he must have had some awareness that his daughter might have been put through what he was, making him turn out to be the way he is. And besides all that, he still chose to stick to his plans of keeping Sakura there, going so far as thanking Karya for breaking off his association with his family. He also called them "rabble" I think, so it's hard to believe he'd mind Sakura's training with Zouken. On the other hand, Karya simply wants to save Sakura from the fate he knows will befall her. And he loved the girls (and their mother, I think) so he fights for a noble cause. |

| Always have loved this season's OP & ED. Watching these crazy set pieces still get me just as hyped as the first time I watched them. |
| Caster's master is out. That was a 'cool' shot. But not as cool as Berserker! :D The guy is really badass. I can't wait to hear his story. The new ED is so beautiful! |
 |
| Tohsaka is an idiot, he's the servant and not the master. Finally that serial killer bit the dust, it was about time. |
| Is there any explanation as to how Berserker got on top of the jet? |
 |
| KOBAYASHHHIIIIIIIIIIIIII TT____TT |

| OMGOOOD I love Berserker sooo much!! He is truly magnificent!! |
| Beautiful art in the Archer/Berserker battle. Once again, the series does not disappoint! |
 |
| DAMN, this was good! Just,... what a way to start a season. After all the dialogue and setup of the first season, the gears have shifted into battle, and there's no holding back. This episode proves it. The battle between three servants and that monster that Zero Caster was in was just great. Not to mention the Gilgamesh v Zero Berserker dogfight was just as cool and really good at showing the full extent of Ufotable's staggeringly beautiful animation. Just... Wow... And. That. Headshot. If you've seen it, you know the one. |
| Being wrong is just an occupational hazard. Follow me on twitter. I have an anitube channel so feel free to check it out and subscribe if you like what you see. |
| The OP and ED are not as grand as the previous ones but I really agree that the ED is really nice. Finally Kiritsugu eliminated that bastard. This season seems to excel! |
 |
| [Re-watch | BD version] Amazing start of second part of Fate/Zero. The level of epicness of Gilgamesh vs Beserker aerial battle is very high! Music and animation together in a deathly dance in the skies. Really amazing to watch. Beserker sure is a scary death machine. Uuryu met his end, and the one thing he always looked after, was inside of him. Bye bye. HEADSHOT! I can't find any reason to say this was anything but an amazing episode. RIP Diablo-1 and 2. The second OP is amazing. I remember not liking it much at the beginning but trust me, it sets the mood for the rest of the anime. The ED is beautiful. It's based on how Kiritsugu and Irisviel met... it's really beautiful. (Based on the Drama tracks of Kiritsugu's and Irisviel's first meeting and later) Well, I'm done, going for the next ep! |

Maloghurst said: you should give the masterpiece shinesegan tsukihime a go and you'll know true pain Well, not just the anime but the -Fate- route was a pain to read... I just read it for the information about servants and Seibah's (I call her Seibah in this route) current state as a servant and a couple of things of her past. In fact, I read it so I could get the whole picture in UBW and HF routes. And Tsukihime, I'm planing to read the manga. I've read the comments "Tsukihime has NO anime" so I can imagine jajaja. |

I've read the comments "Tsukihime has NO anime" so I can imagine jajaja. yea, Fate is certainly the weakest fate story route, but it does lay the groundwork for the entire VN as well as the franchise. you could say that nasu was still trying to get a real footing in some ways. he was taking his original fate project(fate/prototype) rebuilding it from the ground up and redo the thing for a different medium. it has it's merits imo but it doesnt have excuses like nasu having to make deadlines like the later routes do.....i thought the ending though was just beautiful and i hate that last episode exists to completely cheapen it. Tsukihime handle that way better by having that sort of ed go to the fanservicy Good ED. |
| the second season begins with the battle of the River Minho, where there are surprises, struggles and death "confirmed". -- Comienza la segunda temporada, con la batalla del rio Mion, donde hay sorpresas, luchas y una muerte "confirmada". |
| no she's not |
| Ok loved this episode from beginning to start . Also I like how kariya is really just fighting for Sakura, meanwhile tokiome only cares about is being a mage and the family magic secrets and traditions and not his daughters happiness . But one question just how the fuck gilgamesh has an airship in his treasure ? Not complaining just curious . Is it some kind of airship mentioned in legends or something . Maybe he wasn't kidding when he said all the treasure in the world belong to him . |
 |
| Gilgamesh vs Ryder, cool!! Ryunosiki died, aww :3 |
| Wow. What a start, they really dialed the action back up to 100! I never imagined seeing an actual jet plane Noble Phantasm in a Fate series. Berserker is just my kind of crazy. His every appearance is a pleasure to watch. At this point, I really, really want this to be his identity: Also, thank you Kiritsugu for doing the obvious thing. It was painful to see Caster's Master just defenselessly whooping with happiness while the other Servants tried to deal with the Kraken thing. |
| Finally started watching this :D Good bye Ryuunosuke. It didn't felt like he was anything special. Just crazy bastard who loves spilling blood. Even disturbing how he finds it refreshing to see his guts like that. Can't wait for the next one!! |
| Hmm I'm surprised they seem so weak. |
 Behold of my awesomeness~ controversial and/or sensitive topics likely devolve into the same repetitive, derogatory, abusive, and harassing comments can no longer be posted. But my feels. |
| Ryuunosuke you'll be missed, a true hero among mens! |
| Animation is soooooo beautiful!! *^* Everything is epic! *^* |
  “I despise common sense. I’ve seen the world from every possible angle. This cruel, ridiculous, beautiful world.” - Lacie Baskerville ||❤|| |
| Wow what a start. This episode kept me on the edge of my seat. Gilgamesh vs Berserker was absolutely electrifying. And Ryuunosuke died just when i was really starting like him. I think he died a bit early. |
 |
| WOOOOO I AM READYYYY!!! the new opening and ending are as amazing as the first ones!! that irisviel part in the opening gives me bad vibes I DONT WANT ANYTHING TO HAPPEN TO MY ANGEL OH MY GODDDD!!! |
  |
| This whole episode was lame as fuck. The only interesting part was dialogue with Tokiomi which proved his retardness. Graphically it was painful to watch. ZetaZaku said: At least he died like a boss. The CGI in this episode was awful. And what's worse, 85% of the episode was CGI. Stupid planes and stupid Berserker. I don't mind anime having CGI if it's done well, but this was ridiculous. SatanicBeaver said: Caster's CG tentacle monster was pretty lame, and that berserker gilgamesh battle was derpily ridiculous. corwin_r said: Eh, too much obvious CGI and the dogfight between Gil and Berserker was just dumb. They even tried digressing from the main plot with the JSFD pilots "drama", not impressed by the first episode. Oh God. I thought that it's only me seeing this. I'm glad that not everyone is blindly praising Ufo for this mess. |
