Pretty sure in the VN he cups her, too bad they didn't do that, would have been hilarious to see the fallout.

You know I might be wrong but there is a slower version of Emiya playing from 11:47 in the background I think.

If not what is it?

ANN is gonna be a fun place today.

Looking forward to her delicious tears. She'll shed a lot of those in her delusional anti-sexism crusade as she keeps on watching series her parents shouldn't allow her to. Especially when HF comes out. It's gonna be hillarious.

Er....yeah, so? That was his own decision.

No?

his own decision? That means without rule breaker also everyone can make their own decision like archer?
I thought archer was different because he's shirou

Archer needed Rule Breaker because of the command spell Rin put him under to not kill Shirou.

And spoilers, put it in tag.

Oh come on, you can't be serious with that alt universe stuff.

This is an anime adaptation of the UBW route, simple as that.


Nasu said it, not me. You either accept it, or accept it.


Yeah, after you convince everyone in the world that it's alt universe and not VN UBW.

Right now people treat it like it is the adaptation of the said thing, regardless of what Nasu said.

Apart from EMIYA's replacement and some animation derps that was a pretty solid episode, can't wait for "Answer".

The insert song wasn't even bad, it just wasn't EMIYA.

Essentially, battle continuation lets him survive after being mortally wounded. He can't survive for much time without a master though.

Independent Action allows the archer class to live for a few days without a master.

Neither of those has much to do with obeying though, Every servant can make their own decisions, that's why the command spells are needed. In order for masters protect themselves in case they have a disobedient servant.

WTF ANIPLEX?!

They actually translated "karada wa tsurugi de dekiteiru" as "Steel is my body" (due to this mistranslation you will not understand the meaning of it as an AO unless you remember the full chant from EP10)... I am speechless. While it makes sense in context, it's not what he actually says... and what Archer said early on sounded very weird too after Saber noted "he is out of mana", no actually Saber is probably supposed to say something differently, like "his mana is dissapating" or something along those lines, as otherwise it makes not much sense.

AAfter this episode I kind of like Shirou now.

This was a great episode. R.I.P. to Lancer. he was really a bro to the end. Shirou vs Archer was alright. The flashback towards the end was really good. It explain (to me at least) why Shirou wanted to be a hero in the first place. It just Archer had forgot at some point what he was fighting for. Next episode better had beast action thou.

5/5.

Please learn what "dues ex machinas" are before you say things like that. You know, they are properly defined if you know anything about literary techniques and writing. So please explain how any of them are ex machinas?

Sorry don't mean to pick on you, but I have a pet peeve when it comes to people using terms like those incorrectly.

Haha, it isn't. It was in episode 1. And unless you read Fate route, you won't understand. What, do you want me to give a detailed explanation?

Short answer: It's the sheath of Saber's sword that was put into Shirou by Kerry(who was Sabers previous master) which caused Shirou to summons Saber by accident.
Long answer: Optional.

That sums it up but i really don't understand how archer can unleash ubw twice while his mana is depleting?
He can't acquire mana without his master nor will he feed on human souls or he might have some other technique to restore his mana

Nobody knows really. Archer using UBW here is anime original stuff and its also one of the main criticisms of this episode since him using it here makes no sense for the reason you mentioned.

Glad to see lancer save her but he died... Wish he killed that little brat.

Archer vs emiya was decent but I actually thought that we was going to die. Looks like he got healed by saber because of their pact and now we get round two.

Idk, can't really remember if there was anything in the VN that explicitly said the amount of mana he had and how much was required. Although Nasu probably just said, fuck it it's cool to have the fight in UBW, and decided to ignore power levels.
