| Saber was so cool in this episode & Rider finally Dies :) |
| "Every man shall reap what he has sown, from the highest lord to the lowest gutter rat. And some will lose more than the tips off their fingers, I promise you. They have made my kingdom bleed, and I do not forget that" |
| Excalibur? Now that was unexpected. I wonder what is Rin doing... |
| Aww.. Rider died T-T ah well at least we got to see how Saber's sword look like. |
 |
| What was Ilya doing there? Oh well the episode was nice. |
| How do you spell Fuckin' Epic? |
| best ep yet :D some lol moments to gawking at rider v. saber. |
| The pegasus was quite cool. Guess we all know why Rider is called Rider. I was questioning that when she was introduced, now I supposed it fits her. Shinji is such a god damn coward, running like some chicken when Rider died. |
| Valkyrie or not, threat removed.. Saber Next episode |
 |
| Overpowered Rider and that Pegasus into oblivion. I didn't think I was going to like Saber's special move but it turned out alright. |
| nice sword... |
| EXCALIBUR!!!! =D |
| Whoa, that battle was awesome! Saber is one bad-ass woman XD. Excalibur ftw :P |
 |
| Excalibur! Excalibur! From the United Kingdom, I'm looking for him! I'm going to California! Lol sorry. Soul Eater has ruined my fragile little mind XD |
| Finally we see some of her power, awesome fight, rider didn't stand a chance. Emiyas first thought after getting on the roof, run directly toward saber and rider duking it out, WTF, your just gonna get in her freaking way in that kind of a situation. She was probably hoping not to use that ability, saving it for later servants and/or she already knew it'd drain her energy, but once Emiya came and started running toward her she knew she had to end it fast for the retards sake. Hes just as annoying as before =/ |

| Har har har... True Shirou was lame as always in this epi... Neway the episode is full of awesomeness... Saber + Shirou moments were cute... Especially that one on the park bench... Hmmm... Looks like Rin will begin to betray our dear Shirou and Saber.... Will she be able to do so? What she doing... Was she at Shinji's? YAY for Shinji's goodbye!!! That's what you get coward!!! Muahahahaha Oh my the battle! It was awesome... Now that makes senes... Rider = beast rider! LOL.... True True... I only have a question... why she's blindfolded with that thing? Something to do with her class? *shrugs* Oh so after all Mr. Pegasus is Rider's Weapon... cute... But a Pegasus? Why not something like... um... a Chimera or something more surprising that the horsy... Oh well nice one.... Saber... She's awesome!!! I knew it!!! It she's definitely someone related to Excalibur.... WOW at Excalibur.... BTW Excalibur might exclude Arch Joanne from the list... But I still think she's that one... Signs, Green |

| this ep was pro. |
     |
| Shirow still didn't fail to make me face palm... nice fight, though I like to see what the pegasus can really do, or the origin of Rider... seems like I'm not as excited as most people from that fight. One thing though.... Excalibur?!?!?! From what I remember, that sword belong to a man, that sword was used by King Arthur... does that mean Saber was King Arthur?!?! This episode is aight ^_^ |

AirStyles said: One thing though.... Excalibur?!?!?! From what I remember, that sword belong to a man, that sword was used by King Arthur... does that mean Saber was King Arthur?!?! I was thinking that too. Saber also said she was never treated as a girl, so maybe she was king Arthur and was treated like a man and remembered as such. but i could be way off i am just guessing :)  |
| I don't see anything exciting about this fight at all. Just a burst of power and light and that was it. Apparently height is advantageous to Sabre as she doesn't have to bother about scorging the earth - she does care about smthing else after all. Diappointing at most! |

 |
| Whenever i hear "excalibur" it just reminds me how much of a b*tch it was getting it in FF9 haha.. Awesome episode, definition of epic right there |
 |
| Some nice fighting from Saber...but Emiya constantly yelling "Saber" is getting on my nerves a little bit. |
| Nice fight, wasn't expecting Rider to die. *Sigh* There goes Shirou with his "OH NOES SABER, I AM MAN I PROTECT YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" crying again. |
rebwaters said: I only have a question... why she's blindfolded with that thing? Something to do with her class? *shrugs* Look up who Rider was in her past life and all the pieces will click together: the pegasus, her being blinded, her not being human as she said, and her being the enemy of humans. When Ilya was shown I was like "OH F*CK!" but she was just there and didn't do anything... I was on edge. |
It's not breaking in if the door is unlocked. |
| This show could really use some more fast-paced and smoothly animated sword fights in the vein of Kara no Kyoukai or, in recent memory, the final episode of Katanagatari--rather than "I'm charging my attack............BOOM". If I see anything approaching the level of Shiki vs Araya in KnK 5, I'll be satisfied. Oh well, it was still a pretty cool and loaded episode with a really nice reveal at the end. Perhaps Saber is King Arthur reincarnated as a girl? Sucks for Rider, she just got freakin nuked T.T Aniki1990 said: When Ilya was shown I was like "OH F*CK!" but she was just there and didn't do anything... I was on edge. |

| Behold, excalibur!! Shirou should have an idea of what caused that fire 10 years ago from that fight...maybe |

Shinji is such a god damn coward, running like some chicken when Rider died. I thought she was called rider because of something else...HEHEHEHEHEHE..... Just kidding. I guess she can summon mythical beasts lol Saber + Excalibur = Ownage...but surprise surprise it uses up all of her energy. I wonder how Saber will deal with someone who's much stronger than Rider...like Illya's Hercules (why was she there anyways?) All in all it was an epic episode. |
  |
| I always knew she had excalibur... I mean we're talking about the Holy Grail so the connexion is pretty obvious. |
 |
| The only beef I have with this is that Rider yelled out Bellerophon...why would she do that? Bellerophon is the guy who rode the horse, which is named Pegasus. Tsk, tsk. /yeah, no one cares This is the first episode which I didn't have to smash my head against a brickwall because of Shirou's idiocy. I hope they keep this up. |
| Someone got OWNED haaarrddd. EXCALIBUR!!!! Sword of Promised Victory! Saber is awesome! <3 Park bench scene was cute. :3 |
PseudoJord said: No one will probably read my correction but Bellerophon is actually a harness, briddle and saddle set used to control Pegasus. It's also good to point out Bellerophon is her actual Noble Phantasm and Pegasus is a summoned Phantasmal Beast that Rider can summon and by using Bellerophon she can increase Pegasus' power. Main reason Rider lost is actually not because Rider is weak but because Excalibur is considered the strongest Noble Phantasm on the world (Ea is stronger but Ea is also not from this world).The only beef I have with this is that Rider yelled out Bellerophon...why would she do that? Bellerophon is the guy who rode the horse, which is named Pegasus. Tsk, tsk. /yeah, no one cares This is the first episode which I didn't have to smash my head against a brickwall because of Shirou's idiocy. I hope they keep this up. As another piece of useless trivia, Rider has 3 Noble Phantasm: Bloodfort Andromeda (the bounded field that consumes everyone inside of it), Bellerophon (the briddle used to boost Pegasus' power) and Breaker Gorgon (her blindfold...yes, her blindfold is a Noble Phantasm that works in the same way Tohno Shiki's glasses work). |

| Either I misunderstood something or Rider knows who Saber is or maybe they even knew each other? And so Saber's true identity is more or less revelead. I find it strange that Shinji yelled "my comand seals are burning" when that book burned. Shouldn' comand seals be on hand? There's something strange about the way he orders Rider. Unline other masters, he's a complete coward. |
| I don't remember Shirou running towards Saber on the roof in the Visual novel, if I remember correctly she decided to use Excalibur almost as soon as he arrived on the roof and she was actually getting beat up a little bit. Pretty good episode in any event. |

Soul Eater has ruined my fragile little mind XD but seriously Sabers fight was awesome. Now all we need to know is if Saber's legend began in the 12th century xD. Awesome battle to mark the halfway point of this series. I hope there's more like this on the way! |
| I really liked this episode the fight between Saber and Rider was Epic! Though i liked Rider and I'm kinda sad that shes dead but it had to happen she was evil. I wonder what her real name was. I liked the pegasus and am wondering why she was blindfolded???? The Saber + Shirou moments were adorable though i still am rooting for him and Rin. Speaking of Rin... now that their common enemy is extinguished... is she going to turn on Shirou and Saber?? I sure hope not. |
| Wow, Rider got freakin destroyed! Why did she even think she had a chance?? |

DarkShards said: Wow, Rider got freakin destroyed! Why did she even think she had a chance?? Because Rider isn't shit. She's a top tier servant. |
| As a child, I was told that society is a melting pot of talents; knowledge and experience combined to form important alloys that will contribute to mankind. When I got to highschool, however, I thought that it's more like a river in which the water represents our peers while we ourselves are the stones in the river. Constant erosion by mindless majority sheeping has made us lose our unique edge. After I hit the age of 18, I realized that I've been wrong all along. Society is no melting pot. Society is no river. Society is a person, a very skilled rapist, and he has fucked us all. |
DarkShards said: Wow, Rider got freakin destroyed! Why did she even think she had a chance?? IF she had her true Master(the one Rider really cares about,not that shit Shinji) then Saber would have some trouble.Also if Rider knew about Excalibur she wouldnt give that much free time to Saber.Actually the way Saber is during Fate route Rider could have won if she had continued hitting her without the final attack. |
| These last couple of episodes are quite good, I liked pretty much everything in this episode! Good action and amazing ending! Up to the next episode! |
 |
| Well only 1 person could wield Excalibur. Though I wonder if Saber remembers the events of Fate/Zero and that explosion that Shinji survived. Saber was very involved with that. And what was Ilya doing there? She seems to be plotting something now. |
