| RIP Rider That last charge was epic tho, it was a given that he was going to die but that was an awesome way to go, the animation on that last charge was simply amazing. Seems next episode is Kiritsugu vs Kirei, which has been what i personally have been looking forward to the most; not because it will be the "flashiest" fight since obviously they aren't servants but it should still be an intense fight all the same; aside from Kiritsugu vs Kayneth we haven't had that many decent Master fights anyway. |
 |
| Any way the sex scenes have little or no importance in the VN. Fate finallyl in the route Fate just sex scene 2 which is of importance to history. Unless you have seen the queen who is just there to make believe that Arthuria is a man. |
| Ah Archer....as awesome as ever. |

Saber is too. She was turned on by what Rin was doing. She thinks Irisviel is lovely, was married to a woman and had a son with her half sister ;) Every girl in Nasuverse, except maybe Bazett (although there is some Type ace Comic that pairs her with Medusa), is bisexual. |
| While most deaths of this show are usually cruel and depressive to look at, the King of Conquerors passed away from the world, satisfied. He might have lost to Gilgamesh, but the fact that he had to use his most powerful weapon against him, just shows that Rider is dangerous to a man who is more god than human. Ishkandar the Great, a man of glory, even to the end. Also, Waver showed real strength when he faced Gilgamesh. He really deserve some respect for it. While I regret that I found out Berserker's identity too early, I love how it was portrayed. The way Saber expressed her shock was done very well. I can't wait to see the rest. While I still wonder how high the death count is because of the Aoi incident, I'll go with that Rider was the tenth. |

| Best episode so far.Why in Fate/Zero almost every heroic spirit is badass but in Fate/Stay Night every one suck especially Gilgamesh. |

Icebreaker93 said: Best episode so far.Why in Fate/Zero almost every heroic spirit is badass but in Fate/Stay Night every one suck especially Gilgamesh. Because it is not just the work of Nasu in F/Z. This is Urobuchi Gen who write this. Fate / Zero rule everything in type-moon. This is the best work with Kara no Kyoukai intype-moon(well for me) Too, the Master in F/Z are all better than FSN. the Mots are teenager in FSN when there are adults in F / Z. |

| So, about Berserker vs Saber, I think the anime outdone the LN in this part, the animation was perfect, the whole scene felt really suspenseful (if you didn't know who Berserker was already) Just now saw the preview and it left me worry, I really hope they won't rush the next ep too much;; KiraYoshikage said: Fate / Zero rule everything in type-moon. This is the best work with Kara no Kyoukai intype-moon(well for me) Oh yes, F/Z & KnK are stuff that I feel like tailor made for me. Everything from the atmosphere to characters just exactly my taste it's scary. |
| R.I.P Rider/Alexander the Great. He died bravely and like a BOSS! :'( |
 |
| Noo Iskandar. If you were real I would follow you till the end of the world. Didn't know EA had a true form. Gilgamesh never used it in the VN although I guess the only opponent he deemed to be worthy of his biggest bs... most powerful weapon was Iskandar. It seems next week will be the most intensive episode. Ufotable must get an hour special like the first episode for put the last chapters of the LN or else I'll never forgive them. BTW, anyone expects the preview of the last episode to show: |
| I love how Gilgamesh always gives his opponents a brief moment to make them believe they might get a chance to strike him before he pulls out Enkidu. But when he pulled out EA.......man was that was beautiful. |

Veldril said: The Es's swirling wave in F/SN is one of the most butchered things DEEN ever done to F/SN. Most VN players hate it. ufotable really render the description of Ea down to the core. I wouldn't say "down to the core", it's kinda different than when he used in in Fate/ hollow ataraxia. |
| My impression of this AMAZING episode. I should have calmed the hell down, though. |
 |
| Tears rolled down my cheek along with Waver Velvet. I never thought there would be an episode of F/Z that would make me cry. :'( 5/5 |
| Stay Home and Wash Your Hands. Protect Yourself. Protect Your Loved Ones. Protect Your Community and Help Defeat Coronavirus. |
| Rider was really heroic in his charge. Still no epic fight between Saber and Archer yet, Fate Zero S2 remains a 7/10 for me. |
| Oh...Just expected for Gilgamesh there. Looks like the battle nearly reaches its conclusion. |
 |
the_trainman said: ^It would be interesting to show that conversation in UFO style. Well, the last chapter of the LN is about that so I assume that scene in particular will appear. Even though people dislike Shirou a lot Ufotable should at least put that scene, they must. That conversation is what drives Shirou's goal in Fate and UBW. |
PleinairUsagiDrp said: WTF Is That Enuma Elish? I Like The Swirling Wave In F/SN Than This. At First I Thought He Summoned A High-Tech Unknown Treasury LOL. But Then, I Never Knew That Heaven's Chain Is Coming. I Thought A Surprised Gae Bolg Or Some Random Treasury Would Pierced Rider. I Went Goosebumps On This Episode 5/5. :O 2 More To Go~. BloodRequiem said: halberdiers said: The jaw dropping visuals are even more over the top this episode. My mind was epicly blown by the appearance of Ea, completely fitting of the creation star which sunders heaven and earth. Gil really loves making people think they have a chance of killing him doesn't he? He does the good ol' enkidu to lancer and berserker in FSN and now to rider. He never used Enkidu on Cu Chulainn He Used It. He never used it in the VN. Only in the F/SN anime. Which devalued this fight since Gil likes Enkidu more than Ea. It made it seem like Gil would use Enkidu on any servant if the situation favours it which is not the case. That Saber and Lancelot scene was pretty badly done. Saber's spirits was supposed to be utterly destroyed when she realized who Berserker is and I just didn't get that feeling as opposed to the despair I felt while reading the LN. |

| 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. |

| While F/SN DOES have the Rin thing so I can't say anything about that, Saber only married Gwen to keep up the facade of being a man. Gwen being unhappy with that led to...well, you know. |
Veldril said: Not in VN, and anime kinda screw up that up. Gil doesn't need Endiku to defeat Lancer. Lancer lasted 12 hours fighting Gilgamesh. Read character material III. His battle continuation gave him the edge. I wouldn't be surprised if Gil had to Enkidu'ed him so he finally remained in one place once he took the battle seriously. Lancer's the fastest Servant in FSN, he also has skills such as defense against arrows and his disengage ones would make his gate of babylon mostly useless. On the other hand, he was weighted down by two command spells placed by Kotomine so he wouldn't be serious in battles. Cuchulainn isn't just any spirit. He's the most famous Irish hero and a demigod himself. He's pretty ideal Servant for most cases (temper wise too: friendly, honorable but not chivalrously stupid, etc) if wasn't for his luck. Good almost cost-free Noble Phantasm, a pack of tricks that allow him to survive (also magic), good stats (aside of luck), etc. TheRealBoyd said: While F/SN DOES have the Rin thing so I can't say anything about that, Saber only married Gwen to keep up the facade of being a man. Gwen being unhappy with that led to...well, you know. I know, but it still doesn't take away that Saber is bisexual. She would have fallen for Shirou even if he was a girl. Gender had nothing to do with their relationship. Specially, if we take into light Gen's and Nasu's claims of her being a genderqueer. Takeuchi seems the only one adamant about 'moe girl' Saber. Linkark07 said: I thought Sakura was Shirousexual. Sakura has some moments with Rin as Dark Sakura. She only loves Shirou romantically, but it doesn't mean she doesn't find some women hot. |

BTW, since you were discussing Cuchulainn earlier, I can't help but think Kirei has something against Servants not named Gilgamesh. xD Every spirit he commanded was brutally used as a pawn (be it thrown as expendable pawns or forced to not give it their all when fighting). I think Nasu has gone on record saying Lancer would have been unstoppable if the Holy Grail Wars were in Europe, especially in Ireland. Then again, He's the song of a god, so that's to be expected. |

| I think it's just that CuChuliann would be stronger in Ireland and possibly get a chariot and castle and such (Hercules was the one Nasu said would be better in all of Europe), not unstoppable. Though given who he is, close enough for most foes. CuChuliann/Bazett would basically steamroll F/SN, yeah. And to be fair to Kirei, he didn't give a shit about the war while he still had Assassin, and he already had Gilgamesh when he got Lancer. |
| that summoning of Ea was aweeeeesome :D Enuma Elish planet destroyer X_X rip rider D: op archer class is op x_x 5/5 |
| holy shit, this was fantastic this episode was so epic, and for far the best episode of this anime now remains only 2 episodes. |

| WOW. I never expected Rider's conclusion to be that perfect. His sprint across the bridge, towards the horizon of victory, will stick with me as one of the most draw dropping scenes in this show. As a huge Saber fan, Rider you have earned a high spot. Gilgamesh is still the utopia of bullshit. I don't think the man knows how to fight. Iskander said it perfectly that he pulls one oddity after another. |
| So much butthurt in this thread. |

| Definitely my favorite episode so far in the series. I have a lot of respect for Gil and Rider they are without a doubt my 2 favorites in Fate/Zero. I like how they both had respect for each other. I feel bad for Alexander but sadly his opponent was Gilgamesh. Thankfully Gilgamesh let Waver live. Enuma ELISH! Was fucking amazing. Thanks UFO for animating it properly. 5/5 |

| Rider is out and Berserker is Sir Lancelot from the Round Table, didn't see that one coming. Just 2 episodes left.. |
| i cried *manly tears* , damn, best episode ever, damn >.< |
| Simplistic beauty can't be appreciated by someone who looks for something grand in everything he watch. |
| Of course it's Lancelot, as so unceremoniously spoiled by the idiots posting in first season threads. But damn, that Ea is so much more fucking badass here. |
 |
| Summoning of Ea was epic. It redefined what epic is. The music was so awesome. The "you are about to get owned" smirk.  Also loved the beginning of the Saber/Berseker fight. |
