Why is it considered a filler episode? It added some more information about mana, presented a new character (Rin), and gave us more info about Berserker and Karya.

(Fate/Zero is my first anime from Fate series. Maybe for fans of the past novels, all of this info maybe already known for them.)

Weakest episode.

They could have skipped this and not a single fuck will be missed.

Also, what is the point of creating a thread if you haven't watched it yet or any input to post?


Yeah this was the most boring episode and i actually kept skipping through the whole thing. If i want to see Rin i rather see the teenage one. LOL

Seems like Gamaliel cant take it when somebody calls a boring episode boring.


If you're one of those people who skips through the content you're meant to see and then have the audacity to rate or give your opinion on it, / ur wrists

People calling this a filler. I must have missed the entire episode where Rin was playing baseball with her friends at school.

Great Rin Episode!

Though I kinda didn't like her meddling, but she was a kid after all.

At least we had a sneak peak about Rin and all.

Can't wait for the next episode!

Rin is so cute. She's going to be a great mage one day since she saved all those kids at her age. I know she's grown up in the Fate/stay night series and I wonder what she'll be like.

Filler episode.

I hope Tokiomi Tohsaka dies and Berserker wins. And fuck Aoi. Uniting Sakura chan is better than anything the others can do. I hate Aoi and Tokiomi for selling their daughter. FUCK THEM.

Animation and OST are good for this episode. But Rin being the hero was so wasteful. Nothing happened and looks like we have 3 episodes for 6 of them to die(including assassin).

If nothing is resolved by the final episode, I ain't gonna watch the second season.

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.

This episode made me feel that UBW is the true sequel. It kinda emphasizes that the Matou side of the story is unnecessary and not as important. They are the consistent supporting characters of the series. It also gave us a glimpse of how important Rin's character will be later on.

The only reason I enjoyed some parts of this episode was that I was expecting Rin to be captured by Caster, thus forcing Tokiomi to go after Caster with all he has, and just imagining how that would change the whole war kept me excited for the whole time.

Well I was disappointed... I'm not blaming this on the episode though, it's just me expecting a different turn of events.

All in all, if I had skipped this episode I probably wouldn't have lost much, though the scene with Kariya talking to Aoi was good.

Got no idea why Kariya assault Rin and decided to put her on some place.

Kariya got a strong Berserker, I wonder why he didn't just order Berserker to kill Zouken. That's prolly the faster route than obtaining the Holy Grail.

he didn't assault her, he protected her from the tentacle monster and she passed out, maybe more in reaction to his face rather than the bugs

he placed her in that park so her mother can find her

1. killing zouken isn't that simple
2. zouken's worms are inside kariya's body, he could probably end kariya's life at any moment if he felt like it

i seriously hate Rin putting herself in danger over and over again and and just because she's one of the important characters she get that thick plot armor and doesn't die like all the other poor kids and thus she can be as careless as she want and she'd still live on. When i saw her destroy that bracelet with sheer willpower?? when she could barely produce an ice crystal sculpture before i honestly was fucking done with her bullshit. it's just unfair to the other kids that she doesn't have to pay for being so careless and sticking her nose where it doesn't belong.

aside from that, i like how the moral of this episode is "reading books can get you killed" lol

I actually did think that this was a filler, but it was an enjoyable one, nonetheless. It's probably because I really disliked Rin after Heavens' Feel, but thanks to this episode, I started to like her again.

im the exact opposite. i don't even watch heavens' feel and i already dont like her

Everyone in the comments is really into this Rin character for some reason? (I'm guessing she's in the series that I haven't watched yet...?) Tbh, I'm not sure why I'm really supposed to care about any of this plot line? Felt like a total random/pointless detour. Go back to the main story, it was just getting good!

Also, no Lancer so that's strike two.

On a positive note - I hate that red-haired fucker so it was fun to see him getting beaten by a little girl. Still really enjoying this series so far.

I like this ep actually. I forgot there's Rin ep in Fate/Zero. Rin Tohsaka is stubornish and that heroic since she was so little. lol
Also nerdish and kinda Emma Watsonish.
And when Fate/UWB,

Rin >>> Saber

It’s part of something mages do apparently especially to maintain the 3 main families, (Tohsakas, Einzeberns, and Matous), the problem is only the Tohsakas still practice that tradition.

I don't care if this episode was "unnecessary" or "filler". It was important to watch to see the depth of Rin Tohsaka, plus she's just amazing, how could you not want to watch an episode evolving around her?

She wasn't overpowered, she is a mage. Yeah she was a child, but she was visually struggling and throughout the episode, you could see her working on her magic. She worked for that power, it wasn't just handed to her.

I highly doubt that she could be stronger than Ryuunosuke and win; while in the exact same episode lose to the weakest master in this show, (Kariya), and get scared like crazy.

The only thing she was capable of doing was destroying the wrist band and running away with the other kids. It's not like she whooped some serious ass and destroyed him.

In my opinion, for a filler it was well made. Seeing Kariya is always heartbreaking, he suffers so much just for Sakura. So far this show is really good, I'm excited to see how the climax of this season will look like.

Man, I was so afraid something bad would happen to Rin. But well,
, but still...

Knew Kariya was gonna save her. I wonder how he found her though. Maybe he's got familiars nearby. I'm rooting for Kariya because after watching Heaven's Feel, I just can't imagine what sort of hell awaits Sakura in the years between this series and the movie.


Out of all the Masters, I'm rooting most for Kariya to win, but I'm hoping the Einzberns all survive, but for that Saber has to lose (die)... Wow, talk about a complicated war.

Rin practicing.
Tokiomi.
Damn. Dat book.
Rin's early birthday present.
Kotone didn't come to school.
Rin sees Ryuunosuke.
Rin found Kotone.
Ryuunosuke got Rin.
Rin broke the bracelet.
Kariya saved Rin.
Assassin is watching them.
Dat ending.

I had to laugh. Rin climbing on the chair and throwing boxes at Ryuunosuke as slowly as she did felt so unrealistic. In a real scenario, he snatches her up quickly and knocks her out. Heck, he wouldn't even let her touch the bracelet. He wouldn't just stand there as she goes MADA MADA! on the bracelet (even though he doesn't know she's a mage in training).
If you see that my post is exactly 1 month old (or more) from when it was posted... Don't waste your time, especially when you want to reply with something petty & insignificant. Assume that I've moved on (because I have).

lol no, UBW only makes up 1/3 of FSN

maybe you should say that after you've read Heaven's feel route, another full route that is just as long as UBW, explores more lore and answers questions that were never answered in the previous two routes, and ties up with FZ far more than UBW. HF is actually memed to be the "true sequel" to FZ, even though no single FSN route can act as a sequel on it's own

you are making a statement on something that you never fully watched nor read

Old post, sorry.
I agree, after playing the entire VN, I feel that HF is the true follow up to Zero:
Kiritsugu and Ilya, Zouken and Sakura, the Tohsaka family legacy, the origins of the War, actual answers about the corrupted grail, everything about Kirei, and especially the battle in front of Angra Mainyu between Kirei and Shirou, which directly parallels the one between Kirei and Kiritsugu.
Honestly the only thing that isn't really followed up on is Gilgamesh, but that is already well covered by the other 2 routes.
Rest in Piece, Miura.
