Kind of boring first season. Just a lot of masters and servants scouting around for 13 episodes. If I wasn't interested in the plot/setting I rate this first season lower. |

wow that was a really good episode there, even though more than half of the show was about the 3 kings having a drinking session. I think that itself was pretty awesome. And lol to Gilgamesh even summoning the best wine in the whole world through the Gate of Babylon lmao! and i guess the assassins.... they underestimated iskandar back there and ended up getting slaughtered. And love that huge army he had >_> Looking at 1 of Iskandar's servant one of them looked like Velvet Waver with a long hair :P haha lmao Gilgamesh is a Sadist lmao and now he got love interest to Saber o_o Also wondering, the Knight, which Saber mentioned who left Camelot im thinking its Berserker >_>... But wow this is surely is better than FSN.... each episode of F/Z is like FSN getting killed lol. |

Oh, yeah, I love that! Rider is so great, I'm glad his noble phantasm is great, as well... I also do agree more with Rider's opinion against Saber's... |

Hey man, I heard you'd like an army, so we put an army in an army... <img src="http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20110922165405/typemoon/images/thumb/c/ce/IH.png/830px-IH.png" /> That poor little Saber. I loved the whole dialogue. I was amazed that Archer actually showed up without his Gate and even gave away his prized wine. King dialogue = king. |

I bet 90% of you here don't even pay a dime for watching fate zero. Complaining about having too much content being left out? Complaining about not having a bigger budget? Typical Americans. Dumb, stupid, and expecting handouts. Steins Gate was a "terrible adaptation" if you compared it to it's VN. Same problem: lots of details left out. Personally I still enjoyed Steins Gate. |

DragonsWhip said: Wrong, he can copy armor and shields too, at double the cost of prana. In fact, he used the strongest Shield he had to block Gil's barrage of swords did he not? Uhm, it's called UBW because it's only BLADES. And I think you got him wrong, he meant that Shirou/Archer can trace every single weapon and armor those Heroic Spirits have, complete with their history, and make them his. Sure he doesn't command an army, but he would posess every weapon and ability those soldiers possesed. Not as impressive visually but surely as effective. Rider's Reality Marble actually has glaring weaknesses (basically, it can be easily destabilized by a massive attack, which someone like Saber can easily do with Excalibur). |

It's only in HF that he's actually able to the latent abilities of a projected Noble Phantasm. UBW Shirou can only use them as well as the original owner or chuck them as Broken Phantasms. /offtopic Also, I don't think that Saber's Excalibur is powerful enough to destabilize Ionioi Hetairoi in one shot. |

Leon-Gun said: And IMO I'd actually think the world as a whole is inspired more by selfless Kings like Arthur than selfish tyrants like Alexander. The rise and fall of Arthur is one of the most ingrained tales of western culture after all. And Saber has reasons to doubt herself and wish what she does. She made errors of judgement that were the seeds that created the rebellion, although it is true Lancelot and Mordred had their roles in too. Uh... Alexander the great is hardly a selfish tyrant, his most valuable treasure are the bonds with his people. THAT'S what his NP stands for (While Gilgamesh is all about his wealth and possessions). For all her selflessness, Saber failed as a human being in establishing those personal bonds (that's why she was KO by the NP, it wasn't the power, it was what stood for. The very essence of the thing she was pursuing all her life yet she could never attain). Rider is completely right that she's being an unkingly fool. She's wishing to be a little girl, not a king, so he's treating her that way: like a little girl (she's contradicting herself if she wants to undo her coronation and still be treated like a king). He's also compassionate, because to Saber, being a King never gave her happiness or peace, it's basically a burden. While Gilgamesh gets glee from her struggle, Rider wants to spare her from that cruelty because he's a huge bro. He gives her some tough love, but it's because he cares. Day2Dream said: Nah, Shirou's is better. He can win Rider easily by firing them all over his army. :p Alexander's NP needs to face EA to be in trouble. Archer wields the swords or shoots them with arrows, he doesn't shoot them all in projectiles like the Gate of Babylon as Gilgamesh does, because he can't. He'll be stomped by the overwhelming numbers. Unlimited Blade Words doesn't have anything to face an EX NP. Besides, it's Rider, an accomplished tactician, vs... EMIYA, who is smart but c'mon. He'll get squished by the Gordius Wheel before he even tries. Although thinking about it, I don't foresee them fighting. If anything, this could be a great AU idea: EMIYA could swear loyalty to Rider (cheat the world) and become the weapon provider for the bro army and be heroic and happy with heroic times instead of FOREVER ALONE.JPG. |

At the moment (and UNTIL FSN) he isn't wrong, though. Arturia herself doubts of her worth as a king. That was the whole point of her getting over it in Fate. If anything... It's what I've said, he is solemn and incredibly sad by her burden. “Do you still not want to acknowledge her after witnessing that ray of light?” Rider snorted, dismissing Archer’s question. However, what was on his face as not despise or mockery, but a solemnity as if he was looking out over a thing of tragic grandeur. “It was indeed because she took upon her shoulders the hope of every man of the time that she’s able to display such might – it’s painful precisely because it is so blindingly brilliant. Who could have thought that the person carrying such a heavy weight is only a little girl who liked to dream?” On the river surface, which the two of them looked down upon, Saber’s slender body was huffing painfully due to the intensive battle to the death that had just ended. Rider only knew what kind of heaviness was piled upon her young and delicate shoulders thanks to last night’s quiz. For him, whose personality is open and straightforward, this kind of ‘way of living’ is absolutely unforgivable. “This kind of little girl is truly the final result of someone who discarded youthful romance and dreams, discarded love, and sunk into the eternal curse of ‘ideals’. It is truly painful, and one can’t bear to look upon it anymore.” |

A whole episode about a little tea party. Rider makes every other servant/character in FZ and FSN look like chicken excrement. Apparently the awesome Rider already told Saber how absurd her ideals and wish are, but she is going to ignore him and listen to Shirou? Also, I like how this thread is rampant with unhidden spoilers for FSN. |

ok ok I can't take it anymore almost everyone talk down about the assassin being the weakest when it their master fault for being an novice. Kirei listen to tokiomi with no will of his own not knowing he had this war in the palm of his hand. Assassin had the greatest chances to win this war. I've seen so many opportunity for the assassin to take out other master but kirei order them to observe his opponent. Almost everyone think the assassin is dead use it to your advantage and start killing masters instead of observing them. Ep 5 everyone was watching the fight between berserker and archer, you could have at least had 6 more assassin in the area to kill lancer master who had his guard down, berserker master who was by himself and let not forget you could have killed tokiomi since archer was fighting berserker and he was home by himself. I mean come on in one night you could have killed almost half the master in the war. This episode 11 they could have taken rider master, but they was force to show themselve to see rider NP. If only the assassin have a master with intelligence like Emiya Kiritsugu, hell anyone who can see that assassin class is about Guerrilla warfare to take out masters and not power house like the other servant. |

fuck yes, more Rider. Iskander = most badass heroic spirit ever. he summoned a fucking army! HIS OWN ARMY! Assassin got crushed. Gilgamesh was pretty cool too, wish he had more lines. still I mean he brought the best wine. Saber kinda looked like a girl among bad ass kings. I mean he shows up and has a sit down banquet with Saber and Archer. LOL. Only a true king! |

like the ln version more they could do better imo.gilgamesh didn't sound dorky in ln but here... also it is funny how they send assassin class to fight with servants in fate universe to measure the opponent's power or any other reason instead of using them for their real purpose aka assassination ( although assassins in fate universe are so weak that they can't even do a normal assassination let alone beating other servants ... unless the story demands if u know what i mean ;) ) also the assassins appeared before the masters and ignored them to fight with the servants thats even more funny ( probably bcuz they are weak xD guess anyone with assassin servant should hire a gunman instead :D or be a badass himself like kotomine ) |

Assassin is all about guerrilla warfare but they keep getting summon by masters who too stupid to use these tactics. As for beating other servent, assassin can beat them but they have to attack using the most unfair and advantageous conditions, and with these conditions, it is possible for an Assassin to match and defeat other Servants.

Yes, True Assassin in heaven feel had gotten far in the war. Even though he was weak against other servant, True Assassin defeated Lancer and Saber because he fought using the most unfair and advantageous conditions. Having his master place sakura shadow in the area of the temple and the assassin job was to get them close enough to the shadow weaken them so he can finish them off. As long as the master can support the assassin using traps or other method then it easy for assassin remember the location of the traps and use it to kill a another servant. |

Iskandar calling Gilgamesh "Goldy"...that was funny...I imagined he should have called Saber "Goldilocks"...ehehehe But what's cool about this episode was Gilgamesh just sat through the whole episode. He's probably thinking "Damn you,Iskandar...If you or your pets so much as fling a grain of sand on me, I'll open the Gates of Babylon right in front of you... Point Blank!" Iskandar probably knew this...ehehehe |

Sadly there hasn't been any Assassin who luckily got summoned by a suitable master. Kiritsugu for example, would be the perfect master for Assassin, unlike Kirei, who use Assassin only as reconnaissance unit, and Caster, who use her Assassin as a gatekeeper. True Assassin got pretty far, but that doesn't proof that Assassin could stand a chance in winning the Grail War. But really, Assassins should've just aim enemy masters. After all, no matter how skilled a master is, they wouldn't stand a chance against Heroic Spirits in direct combat (okay, except under certain 'special' circumstances). How I wish they would stop the discrimination against Lancers, Assassins and Casters in all of Fate universe. Even if they really release a game based on Fate universe (like Fate Apocrypha) , I doubt that these classes would gain much attention. |

Reality check: A fully trained with top-class abilities Shirou at his peak can't beat H/A Bazett (according to Nasu, she'll easily dispose of him. We're not even talking about Bazett at her peak who could be Ciel class or further, or her Prisma Illya counterpart who is basically monstrously strong -like... Berserker she's compared- and can handle Servants with her bare hands...). What makes you think he can beat Alexander the Great? His advantage with the fight against Gilgamesh was that Gil wasn't serious, wasn't armored, was also enraged. Shirou knew the moment he would calm down, he was as good as dead. Rider is a lot more cool-headed and tactician than Gilgamesh. It's wrong too. He can't copy servants, only swords (he fails projecting anything else, that was... the point: he can only do blades, because his origin is "sword"). Furthermore, his Reality Marble isn't as powerful as Rider's. In case both would activated at the same time, it would be Rider's RM that would crush his: Class EX vs Class A++ IF he's at full potential (otherwise can vary). |

Like I said assassin is all about strategy. i can see now that u don't read :D like what u said i am saying that they are not used well by their own masters and weren't lucky in this part although it doesn't change the fact that they don't have a high chance in the war since even if their master is good they need so many consideration and circumstances to win while the other servants don't so i don't think they are supposed to fight with servants,not in this universe.like i said imo they should be used for assassinating other masters not a 1 vs 1 duel with other servants.assassination is not about fighting head on even with numbers but the masters keep using them for a duel or testing powers and other stuff.it is seems that u are a fan of assassins(and created your account for this reason here) that is why u seems offended with my comment about them being weak so i am sorry to tell u this but fate universe is not the place for u since assassins are not very sharp here ( like the example i said before they could just finish the masters in this ep but they just stood and waited for other servants,why?becuz they are probably slower than the other servants while they are even sitting and drinking so basically they don't even have the ability to do this in other words i am saying that the other servants should be worried for their masters in front of the assassin class but they don't even count them as a threat.if u want another example of the assassins being stupid and weak check out the episode 4 or 5 while the assassin can't even hide from kiritsugu since he is better than him in hiding) and as for assassin in HF when i said they can't beat other servants unless the story demands it i meant in HF but it seems spoilers are allowed here so ... :)) even in HF when he beat saber it was becuz he could stand against the air pressure(and other stuff...how convenient)but he got his ass handed to him pretty easily after that and ran away while crying (or w/e that voice was he was making during his escape).it is true that he wasn't prepared for the other servant so he got beaten but then agai if u have to prepare like 1000 steps further in order to use assassin class while the other classes don't need that many preparations then might as well don't(since it is a weak class it needs so many preparations and consideration)...he may have advanced in HF but not in a good way and it didn't end well... LostHanyou said: True Assassin got pretty far in FSN... with the help of special circumstances while he was on the losing side most of the times plus getting humiliated badly afterward by others.not reliable at all if u ask me all i am saying is that the assassins in fate universe are not even close to be hassan e sabbah's incarnation or piece of mind or w/e.since all the Ḥashshāshīns had their own code that they followed with honor and courage so obviously they weren't just some random cowards without a proper power at all otherwise ppl or even KINGS wouldn't fear them in those times ;) even Alexander and his father weren't safe from the assassination plots by their own men (they weren't even proper assassins),which cost his father's life and perhaps himself(although alexander's death is a mystery and the real reason is unknown).sorry for the wall of text but imagine u watched this episode while played assassin's creed revelation days ago xD...hope assassin or caster class get more chances in any possible spinoff or new story (maybe have kiritsugu as assassin and rin or sakura as caster lol xD) |

And how Saber’s wish is to undo her history is happy if it IS granted… lol. I was thinking more of the spin-off adventures of Heroic Spirit Lord El Melloi II with Alexander the Great across time and space. Saber has Fate route, if you want to see her triumph. She's overexposed anyway. If someone wants to have Gilgamesh win against Saber in Fate route mode, there's his Fate/Unlimited Codes ending. And now Strange Fake. He's overexposed. wishbook said: How I wish they would stop the discrimination against Lancers, Assassins and Casters in all of Fate universe. Even if they really release a game based on Fate universe (like Fate Apocrypha) , I doubt that these classes would gain much attention. According to Nasu, Cú Chulainn Lancer would have won the 5th War if Bazett didn't get Trollomined before it began (if only he hadn't been an old buddy of hers and who invited her to join the war and Lancer wasn't out scouting when he backstabbed her ;; ). But then, she's utterly broken compared to the other Masters (she hunts rogue magi and Dead Apostles lol and has a Noble Phantasm and has a hax speed/strength for human standards, paired with someone else but Avenger, it's too godmod). But I guess that would have completely ruined FSN plot. Although Fate/Irish Nights sounds fine. He's also one of the main focus of Hollow Ataraxia, so he isn't that trolled... And one of the Servants we 100% know are around in Fuyuki after the loop ends: Saber, Rider and Lancer. The state of the rest is more vague, but I'm guessing they are around too. Nonetheless, we have a confirmation of a good end for him. Isn't the Lancer in Fate/Strange Fake, Enkidu? That alone grants him Luck EX because it's unlikely that Gilgamesh would let him get hurt (when he's more precious to him than all of his treasures). Caster and Assassin definitely need help ASAP. |

I was thinking more of the spin-off adventures of Heroic Spirit Lord El Melloi II with Alexander the Great across time and space. Saber has Fate route, if you want to see her triumph. She's overexposed anyway. If someone wants to have Gilgamesh win against Saber in Fate route mode, there's his Fate/Unlimited Codes ending. And now Strange Fake. He's overexposed. wishbook said: How I wish they would stop the discrimination against Lancers, Assassins and Casters in all of Fate universe. Even if they really release a game based on Fate universe (like Fate Apocrypha) , I doubt that these classes would gain much attention. According to Nasu, Cú Chulainn Lancer would have won the 5th War if Bazett didn't get Trollomined before it began (if only he hadn't been an old buddy of hers and who invited her to join the war and Lancer wasn't out scouting when he backstabbed her ;; ). But then, she's utterly broken compared to the other Masters (she hunts rogue magi and Dead Apostles lol and has a Noble Phantasm and has a hax speed/strength for human standards, paired with someone else but Avenger, it's too godmod). But I guess that would have completely ruined FSN plot. Although Fate/Irish Nights sounds fine. He's also one of the main focus of Hollow Ataraxia, so he isn't that trolled... And one of the Servants we 100% know are around in Fuyuki after the loop ends: Saber, Rider and Lancer. The state of the rest is more vague, but I'm guessing they are around too. Nonetheless, we have a confirmation of a good end for him. Isn't the Lancer in Fate/Strange Fake, Enkidu? That alone grants him Luck EX because it's unlikely that Gilgamesh would let him get hurt (when he's more precious to him than all of his treasures). Caster and Assassin definitely need help ASAP. lol if not for their bad lucks, F/Z and F/SN Lancers could have won the Grail War... F/Z Lancer is actually quite imba with his anti-magic, anti-healing and absolute loyalty , and F/SN Lancer could strike enemies' heart in a flash (reverse cause and effect), which is quite terrifying, plus Bazett... That haxed master who could've won the grail war in a flash if only she wasn't betrayed by her own 'trusted' friend. About Assassin's ability, There are countless potentials within Fate universe, but most of these potentials are only able to be realized in forms of Nasu's words, not as visual or light novel. Therefore, we wouldn't know the outcome of certain things if only some things actually happen in the war, such as: - If assassin was summoned by a skillful master like Kiritsugu, what will happen? - What will happen to Shirou if Bazett could participate in the Grail War, will he survive or die? - In F/Z, if only Rider didn't show his NP in this episode to Gil and Saber, would he win the Grail? These kinds of things won't be revealed to us in another forms besides Nasu's (or in Rider's case, Urobuchi's) words, and that is a bit disappointing for me. If only these winning factors could be manipulated and made into a VN, I would play that even if it takes a whole year to finish the whole VN. About the multiple endings, if Gilgamesh won we would see Kirei obtaining the grail without any tricks. Maybe he would wish for another thing aside from 'that thing', then it would be very unexpected to the viewers. If Rider won, we get to see him incarnate into human, and how will Waver respond to it. We'll then see how Waver changes his attitude after the Grail War, and as Alexander is now a living human, their lives are going to change greatly. And Saber ending... well, it's in the LN. To be continued in FSN. Oh, and I forgot to mention this, but sometimes, because the origin of nasuverse comes from Nasu himself, some of things he made into canon are a bit ridiculous because it heavily relies on his mental state. Like how Mordred (Arthur's son) was able to be born because Merlin gave a male reproduction organ to Arthuria temporarily and that Merlin likes to steal women underwears, its like, I mean, that is a hell of silly canon it doesn't even worth knowing (it ruins the image of Saber to the roots). TL;DR version: - multiple endings woild be wonderful. - nasu's mind is a bit ridiculous about Merlin. - lancer is great but unlucky. |

wishbook said: Thess said: wishbook said: Like what I said in the eps 9 discussion, they could make the last arc's few episodes into a movie (not exactly a movie, just a long-duration TV show) and then make 3 versions of the 'movie' with different endings, showing Saber, Gil, and Rider winning in each of them.

Saber had a "male reproductive organ" and had a son...and he stole women underwear... I thought she only hid her gender from the puplic?! And that would mean she actually had fabulous max with a woman...okay then >_> I'd rather see Sensha Otoko animated... but rider incarnated into a human would be awesome too ^^ |

Jeez I pretty much can't read any post in this thread out of fear for FSN/UBW spoilers that are unmarked. Keep in mind some of us are new to type moon stuff with F/Z and remember to spoiler stuff from the earlier stuff! D: |

( like the example i said before they could just finish the masters in this ep but they just stood and waited for other servants,why?becuz they are probably slower than the other servants while they are even sitting and drinking so basically they don't even have the ability to do this in other words i am saying that the other servants should be worried for their masters in front of the assassin class but they don't even count them as a threat. Hmm....Sorry but you can blame Kirei for that one. Kirei use a command spell to force the assassin into attacking rider to see his NP. if u want another example of the assassins being stupid and weak check out the episode 4 or 5 while the assassin can't even hide from kiritsugu since he is better than him in hiding) Sorry, but you wrong again Kirei was seeing through assassin eyes so the assassin wasn't able to go invisible. As for kiritsugu he was thinking about how someone can use the spot to spy on his opponent and don't forget kiritsugu already suspect that assassin was still alive. To that point kiritsugu couldn't fire a shot since assassin will hear it and attack him.That why when saber was in trouble, kiritsugu was about to use his partner as a decoy to attract assassin attention. and as for assassin in HF when i said they can't beat other servants unless the story demands it i meant in HF but it seems spoilers are allowed here so ... :)) even in HF when he beat saber it was becuz he could stand against the air pressure(and other stuff...how convenient) When facing other servant the assassin have to attack using the most unfair and advantageous conditions which he did. if u have to prepare like 1000 steps further in order to use assassin class while the other classes don't need that many preparations then might as well don't(since it is a weak class it needs so many preparations and consideration) Not really you just pick a target stick with them until it a right time to strike. ...he may have advanced in HF but not in a good way and it didn't end well... Nothing end well for most character the holy grail war. The assassin are masters worse enemy and the servant can't always be at they master side. Berserker for example..When a berserker fight another servant do you see his master around him.. no they somewhere else watching from a distance so that perfect chance for the assassin to kill berserker master. Doesen't matter how strong the servant is if the connection that give them prana to maintain form in the world is cut the are helpless... Even those who last little longer with their own prana are soon to fade away. that is how it works for assassins in f/z or HF and i am not saying it should so don't blame me ;) if it were up to me i liked to power up assassins but that is not the case and as for the fake assassin in fsn he wasn't even trying to be an assassin so don't even consider him @-) No I'm not blaming you I just want other to see that the true strength of an assassin class. Don't worry I saying nothing about the fake assassin. |

I hope the blu-ray fixes the horrible quality drops. Their faces were very poorly drawn. Other than that, I liked Rider's NP! |

gg, Kirei! You were supposed to stay hidden and you attacked 3 Servants at once, one of which is your secret ally's and the other two didn't know that you weren't eliminated from the Grail War. Now you lost half of your forces and blew your cover! gg, Kirei! |

Seeing Alexander the Great's army was really nice must feel awesome for the ones that where there. I wonder if this is really the end of Assassin and all of his clones it must have at least done some serious damage to him. And i wonder how Alexanders words affected Saber. Sabers past is really sad i wonder if she can overcome it. |
