| Free salt for everyone, people come get your free salt. It's made by the same exact producers everytime, so you don't have to worry about the quality. Gonna have to call an asspull on Shirou tracing on all those weapons and projecting a weapon Him being able to do that was established long ago o.O do people just throw the word asspull out for no reason. No citizens outside in Japan? Gotta wonder how hard the Magic Association and the church are working to keep this hidden lol |

ChickenFry said: Raziel1991 said: Yeah all that massive amout of blue lightning when he is using projection is stupidly cheesy and cringey. Also the only way Shirou can survive against Giglamesh is by offsetting his NPs with the same ones, he cannot survive with Kanshou and Bakuya alone like he did during most of the fight this episode. Did Gil say that he wouldn't fight seriously against a mongrel? And this is just a time-killing sport when he is waiting for Saber? Even if he is not fighting seriously, the only way Shirou can block the Noble Phantasms from the Gate of Babylon is by offsetting them with the same ones. |

| Two episodes left :( Totally forgot about assassin. But wish he didn't attack saber... Shinji is still alive... For now? |

UnremarkableHero said: I always liked FSN's "interpretation" of Sasaki Kojirō tbh.This backstory offers a lot of potential for his character but in UBW it kinda just feels thrown in ;/ He is also a "fake". But yeah, even in the VN, some servants are really missed opportunities. |

Who say that? The visual novel. http://lparchive.org/Fatestay-night/Update%20227/ "Kanshou and Bakuya cannot block his Noble Phantasms. Archer should be able to with his technique, but I don't have that much skill." |

Tokoya said: I'm currently reading Vagabond atm but I didn't remember that Assassin was Sasaki Kojiro =o Seems like he's the Matahachi version too (I live how historical this series is) iirc Assassin isn't someone who pretends to be Sasaki(like Matahachi) but someone that got swordskills that get associated with him.Sasaki is a fictional character if I'm not mistaken |

Even then, K&B are broken right in contact with Gil's weapons. |

I understand Archer doing it but when did Shirou learn how to do it and how was he able to trace all those weapons so fast? In the anime we can just say He was gaining skills from Archer, since saber even said he was reaching Archers level already while they were fighting. In the VN there is a different and better explanation, but you said your going to read it so i'll leave it at that for now. |

Drake1000 said: This is so terrible The Assassin vs Saber has been completely changed and rushed >Shirou being able to survive EA from that range kk. I don't really like this part anyway so try not to make it worse Ufo. Oh, in the VN, Shirou survived a direct EA. |
| They dropped the ball earlier all the way back in day 6 when they animated the full tsubame gaeshi.. But this was worse than I still could have expected. The hands and weak d rank np ea were ridiculous. Anime could have been 9/10, looking more like 7/10 at best at this point. The only anime whose junk ending I can forgive is Claymore. |
| "When they're alive, you can enjoy watching them struggle. When they're dead, you can enjoy tearing out their guts. Tales are things you get to enjoy twice." |
| Not a good episode (period). Lacking doesn't begin to describe how little impact this episode should of had. Plain and simple. |

Well here is the thing, I get he gained skills with his fight with Archer but are you saying his powers rose to a level where he can trace on a dozen weapons at the same time? He never used it before and he not only projected the weapons but perfectly aimed them at Gil's opposing projections. |

BenMS said: Excalibur vs Ea was head to head battle, and Saber took a large hit from it. The way Ea is used in the anime is completely wrong... In all cases, including ufotable's own Fate/Zero, while Ea can use massive wave-attacks it is always completely destructive on everything if it uses the wave-type attack. Yet all the buildings still stand, Shirou still survives... and only the arm got destroyed. It's BS. Another typical "it's not 1:1 as in the VN" complaint. You know that Nasu EXPLICITLY asked Miura to "change the Noble Phantasm"? Also he only used "Ea", but didn't call out "Enuma Elish", btw, so no, it's not even the same skill! |

BenMS said: Eylandos said: I understand Archer doing it but when did Shirou learn how to do it and how was he able to trace all those weapons so fast? Shirou learns fast, and it's in both his origin and destiny, so he learns even faster when it comes to that. But the explanation for that is in the VN... Origin, totes, but destiny? Urr....wat? |

| Excellent episode, Gilgamesh and Saber epicness, finally the cool characters are getting some action. |
| Felt kinda rushed... |
 |
| Eh hold on, Shouldn't Ea have flattened the building Gil was standing on? I am disappoint. I wanted that prick to fall to the ground :( |

Well according to saber and I think even archer said it, he's reached archers levels by now. The whole origin thing, and what it is will be explained in the VN when you read it. |

ChickenFry said: No, he din't use Raw Ass. Read it again... According to Unlimited Retcon Works... that's what saved him in the VN appearantly though according to some CM or Nasu interview... |
|
| Little too much talking and also i disliked how they handled Assasin vs Saber fight. But on the other hand i liked the change in Ea scene.In VN that scene was just ridiculous, because Gil used Ea on Shirou just to say later some things how he is unworthy for this. Also liked the fact that they added some explanations of Gil goal. Generally good episode 4/5 |

Grey-Zone said: Insertanamehere said: "I can't block all of them. Even if I project seventeen Noble Phantasms, I can only give form to them one at a time. Even if I can form them in succession, I am no match for him as he can release all of them at once!" ..... What is bad about it? It's at worst a "retcon". But the complaint only looks like "it's not 1:1 the same as the VN" to me. Finally someone is beginning to understand. Why can't people accept that Fate/stay night has been retconed. Accept the new Fate/stay night as it is, or go home. |
| man this anime is nearing its conclusion and yet the last two episodes were some of the most boring ones I have ever seen the blood of the grail looked epic tho |
 |
ChickenFry said: LOL... But... VN UBW ENDING SPOILER WARNING |

| Lol, people are now blatantly talking about shit that they haven't shown in the anime yet... the battle isn't over, you know? Everytime I see visual novel readers posting spoilers in the episode discussion thread without a tag, I can't help but shake my head in disbelief. |
| Ufotable didn't show this |
Grey-Zone said: ChickenFry said: LOL... But... VN UBW ENDING SPOILER WARNING So much mana left... |
KamiCity said: Well according to saber and I think even archer said it, he's reached archers levels by now. The whole origin thing, and what it is will be explained in the VN when you read it.

Shirou block like one by one like that and Gil was going easy with him. |
Grey-Zone said: ChickenFry said: LOL... But... VN UBW ENDING SPOILER WARNING hey IT WAS NASU who wanted archer cast UBW against shirou at the ANSWER fight so thats means there is no problem with archer mana or with Independendent Action |

| Fate/Stay bad. 2/10 for some nice CG. |

I thought it was an above average episode but people are seriously giving it a 2/10? Wow. |
