Ugh, nooooooo! Even though his Fate was already sealed, I wanted Rider to WIN! Man, y did the most badass character have to lose :(. On another note, Saber vs Berserker had such an awesome fight sequence, Berserker's NP really is too OP, I mean it was even infecting Excalibur. Talk about one crazy NP! 5/5 |

As for Rider Team looking at how things ended,you can say that Waver was the true winner of the 4th war |

So basically , this show will have no conclusion because of FSN? Well the story of the 4th war or as others would say, Kiritsugu's fight end in FZ so no need to watch FSN(5th war) if you dont want to. I haven't seen FSN, only last battle between Saber and Gilgamesh. Except the characters that survive the 4th war and Saber that is summoned again I wouldnt say that you have to watch it to reach a conclusion for FZ.Unless you want to watch it of course.Or even better read the VN Trenerka said: TheWitcher said: I can't believe how stubborn you must be and you are probably a pro-Kirei person and I understand how your hatred towards Kiritsugu affects your brains cells, but I'll leave it here: In the climax of the war, Kiritsugu fought the last Master, Kirei Kotomine to a standstill, both being consumed by the black 'mud' flowing out from the Holy Grail. There, Kiritsugu met 'Irisviel' again, now completely merged with the Grail. In his mind, he was forced to confront the fact that his methods will eventually lead to him becoming the ultimate enemy of humanity, equal to Angra Mainyu itself - and, 'Irisviel' proclaimed, this path is correct. Kiritsugu, now realizing that the Grail is corrupted, rejected 'Irisiviel', who placed a curse on him - to never be free of regret until his painful death. Kirei, having went through the same experience, asked Kiritsugu why he rejected the Grail; Kiritsugu killed him after a vague response. Kiritsugu and Kirei finally have their fateful fight at the center hall. They have nothing to say to each other. Kirei performs Ba Ji Quan mortal blows on Kiritsugu, but Avalon quickly heals his body and the Magus Killer makes a comeback with his Innate Time Control. Kirei tosses all his remaining Black Keys in a spin, so that they will be right over Kiritsugu just as Kirei gets to him - Kiritsugu can either try to dodge sideways or backwards and get punched anyway, or jump away and get slashed by the Keys. Instead, he just stands there, reloads, and shoots Kirei just as Kirei's fist connects and crushes his skull. With the battle in stalemate, the black mud gushing out from the Holy Grail in the room above engulfs them. After a Grail induced dream, Kiritsugu points his gun at Kirei's heart from behind and Kirei wakes up too. Kirei is surprised that Kiritsugu didn't accept the offer of the Holy Grail. Kiritsugu's answer was that it sacrifices too many things for what it gives. Kirei says that he wanted it even so and Kiritsugu shot him in the heart saying that he doesn't understand Kirei. And this: TheWitcher said: And even so I'm more into Kiritsugu than Kirei, since that Kirei did nothing but jogging once and that's all. Oh yea I forgot: he acted like a snake he is and killed the priest and Tokiomi... Apparently taking Tokiomi in a fair 1 on 1 is too much for a pussy like him. That's why I will never agree with anybody saying Kirei si cooler than Kiritsugu. Discussions, discussions, you made me, you bring it on So he basically won, because he was bastardly enough to kill his own family in the Grail dream GREAT moral victory for our protagonist if I may say so.... And Kirei didn't play fair with Tokiomi because Tokiomi knew too damn well he stood no chance against experienced Executor and would have forced Gilgamesh to defeat Kirei. So Kirei simply prevented him from doing so. And what priest killing are you talking about? Risei? He was killed by Kayneth. I should add that Kirei indeed IS cooler than Kiritsugu.It is the ugly truth for those of us that hate Kirei and have some sympathy for Kerry. re-read this TheWitcher said: And even so I'm more into Kiritsugu than Kirei, since that Kirei did nothing but jogging once and that's all.

Discussions, discussions, you made me, you bring it on and about the novel: I read it and I know myself that Kiritsugu was humiliated by the author, but don't forget who's the author: that guy literally can describe a situation like this: Kiritsugu used the command seal on Saber while she was fighting Gilgamesh into this: Saber was almost dead and bleeding badly and then the bastard Kiritsugu rapes her with the command seal and destroys her soul by this. That's the difference and you should be well aware of it. |

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. |

Kirei is indeed cooler in terms of fighting and evilness, but what I was saying is that Kiritsugu got a bit of a better personality and better Master and overall in terms how he played his role in Fate/Zero. I'm not even arguing about Kirei being cooler than Kiritsugu because if I have to choose one of them in a fight (where Kiritsugu has no Avalon), I'd say Kirei wins (may be not that easily, but wins) Kiritsugu. However my point was still about overall effectiveness and role in Fate/Zero, where hands down - Kiritsugu wins imo |

About the whole Kiritsugu versus Kirei debate: 1. Deciding which character is cooler or more interesting than another based upon power levels is just silly, especially since both of them would get wrecked by any Servant other than, perhaps, 5th War Hassan, including 4th War Hassan. Neither of them are even the most powerful humans; Ciel would destroy both of them. 2. If we’re going to get into a discussion of who would win then I don’t see how it’s any more relevant to take away Kiritsugu’s equipment, Avalon, anymore than it makes sense to take away Batman’s gadgets in a versus match. It’s the same with other immortal characters, such as Ciel, and victory will be determined based upon whether the original poster specifies whether their immortality is on or not or whether they have prep time. Whether Kiritsugu won that fight because of Avalon doesn’t matter, if we’re using Kiritsugu w/ Avalon in the debate. He still won. Trenerka said: So he basically won, because he was bastardly enough to kill his own family in the Grail dream GREAT moral victory for our protagonist if I may say so.... I agree. Kiritsugu should have accepted the Grail's offer and killed off five billion men, women, and children. |

Lapan said: Sadly Alexander vs Gilgamesh was underwhelming. Him having a weapon that eactly counters Riders phantasm is a little bit to much of an asspull. I know he is supposed to be overpowered, but that doesn't mean i have to like it. I figured Berserker is gonna be Lancelot, they weren't really subtle about it. With this series almost done i gotta say i prefer this a ton over Stay/Night. The characters are a lot more likeable. While i don't think it's a 10/10 masterpiece liek the hype suggests, it's a good and enjoyable show. 3/5 I liked the Berserker vs Saber fight, but Gil vs Alexander drags this episode down. Well put. These are mostly my feelings as well. My score for this episode too. A bit of a drop off after the previous two episodes. I don't think that it was a fitting end for Iskander, who has been a great and stalwart character throughout the two seasons. As a rule, suicide charges are tedious. And I fail to see the point in Kotomine reciting the psalms, just as I still fail to see the point of the two episode diversion into Kiritsugu's youth. Not sure what's up with Kariya in this episode. How is he being haunted, and why? Finally, I'd be more appreciative of du Lac if he didn't have his teeth filed. It diminishes what is otherwise a pretty good character design. But I'm glad that his helmet is finally off and the next stage of the story can be told. |

Atleast Gilgamesh Respects the other Kings! even trying to test Waver's loyalty to Rider even though Gilgamesh already knew that he was the master of Rider!.. This episode is just so epic! the way Rider ran while it was raining weapons from Gate of Babylon was like a Movie! Rider is going to be missed :( and 2 more episodes of this one of the Best Shows ever...! :( But still, Gilgamesh was epic on this too and just love how they make him all gold and shiny and he had this respect to Rider too, not really bad! |

NNick said: Yeah, he had to die, that was obvious, but, oh well, they're all dead anyways, even Gilgamesh. they're just ghosts. They're not all ghosts... Saber is closest to being alive because the moment before her death is kind of a frozen, isn't it? So she perceives both grail wars as dreams - because her real body is dreaming... Also I have to say it again, if they don't show Aoi in wheelchair in the epilogue (very unlikely but hey), that could mean Kariya have been successful in killing her, so in a way, he could have a single accomplishment in the bloody grail war, killed the woman he loved... Yeah, I know it's sick, but Aoi always was WTF with that ever-present attitude of ideal japanese wife. |

Yeah, I know it's sick, but Aoi always was WTF with that ever-present attitude of ideal japanese wife. Apart from the hallucination Kariya was like this in the LN: Kariya did not even know what this place was. At first he had been in icy darkness, but now he felt a strange heat, and even breathing was difficult. He thought he smelled something burning; perhaps it was his own body that had been burned, but that didn’t matter. In any case his body could not move; what was most important now was Berserker’s fight—and— saving Sakura. Sakura—ah, he would really like to see her one more time. He would really like to see that child. But not Rin; he couldn’t see her. He mustn’t see her—no, but why was that, again? Even thinking made him feel pain. His brain, his consciousness and his soul were all being crushed. There was something strange. It seemed that something important had happened. Something was wrong. Though he had become aware that something was different, Kariya’s thoughts were quickly caught up once again in endless torment. It hurt— There was only pain. And suffering— So they will probably add Aoi |

Rider is the only so far to have died a honorable, satisfactory death imo. The emotional impact and dialogue that this episode had was spectacular. Truly the best episode I've seen so far in F/Z. I liked Gilgamesh better in F/Z than F/SN. At least here he wasn't a total jackass. |

Loved a one sided fight like this, although I expected Rider to at least land a scratch...But in retrospect this adds more sense of despair towards the finale. 5/5 |

ssjokg said: I should add that Kirei indeed IS cooler than Kiritsugu.It is the ugly truth for those of us that hate Kirei and have some sympathy for Kerry. Shirou would probably hate his dad if he met him in Fate/Zero, since he's basically Archer only worse. While he likes Kirei. LOL. Yeah, the story is pretty biased towards Kotomine because Nasu likes him (favorite FSN male character). Truth hurts. Liberal said: First route: Killed by someone he wasn't trying to kill, but rather discipline (since he wanted her to become his). Underestimated her trump card (Avalon) and plot armor. Second route: Killed by a cheap shot after being cornered by someone much weaker than him (but who possessed a good counter to his ability) due to his arrogance and refusal to go all out against someone he doesn't respect. Third route: Killed by someone with ridiculous regenerative abilities which he gravely underestimated and was too careless facing. Basically, he killed himself in all routes, for not being serious. It's the character's weakness, he only fights seriously against people he respects, but those are one in a million and everyone else is a mongrel against whom he refuses to use more than a fraction of his power until it's too late. So yeah, Rider was screwed for being awesome enough to impress Gil enough to make him want to fight without holding back. To be fair, Shirou dies more than Gilgamesh and he's the main character (yeah, bad ends and dead ends are canon). Also, he wasn't fighting Sakura and went straight to the point. He was executing her and actually killed her. He couldn't have imagine she would regenerate from decapitation (and other damage). That wasn't the shortcoming of his arrogance. The Shadow (Angra Mainyu with Sakura's imaginary numbers) is pretty much the perfect Anti Servant weapon. The other times you can claim he's stupid, but this one would catch anyone off guard. LunarMoon said: Neither of them are even the most powerful humans; Ciel would destroy both of them. Nasu said F/Z!Kirei with Command Spells will probably defeat Ciel. He never does it against Kiritsugu battle, but he can become Servant-level with ten of those. His original plan against True Assassin battle was to let him keep some and utterly crush him using it (which he almost did without them...) |

I have to say when it came to dialog and just being awesome Rider was def the one that stood out and of course I knew he was going to die, he is def memorable. Archer really cheated with that magic wand sword of his but that's war I guess. As for berserker, finally he has been revealed. I was pretty shocked but this just make things all the more interesting. Hoping for a longer fight scene between him and Saber |

He should have Gate of Babylon'ed Saber the moment she stepped out the barrier or Enkidu'd her. Here: http://typemoon.wikia.com/wiki/Avalon Avalon is not a barrier, EA can't even compare to it. It was most powerful existence in Nasu's universe. From the wiki: Its function as a Noble Phantasm is an "absolute defense" that completely shields its user in the domain of fairies, Avalon, the unreachable utopia that Arthur dreamed of and was said to have gone to after her death. It is the greatest protection in the world that goes beyond defending or reflecting, completely isolating its user in a world completely separate from the regular world. The scabbard dissipates into countless tiny particles in the air and immerses the user to become a "portable fortress" that shuts out all interference. It is the Bounded Field of the tranquil domain of fairyland that keeps out all filth from the outside lands, and allows nothing to harm the tranquil King that stands in the land of Avalon. The individual is shielded from all destructive interference in the physical realm, transliners from parallel worlds, and multidimensional communication as far as the sixth dimension. It is on the level of true magic, an actual true magic in itself, that transcends all magecraft, and not even five current sorceries can overcome the barrier. It IS a barrier. In Fate we have Fragarach, in Nasuver, many. Gilgamesh wouldn't use Ea against Bazett unless she's Prisma Illya Bazett who is an overpowered monster who can defeat Servants with her bare fists and would have killed Gilgamesh there if wasn't for his regeneration factor... Or if you mean, have a competent Servant who warrants Ea team up with her. Then yes, Fragarach would have taken care of Gilgamesh the moment he uses Ea. zeroyuki92 said: Loved a one sided fight like this, although I expected Rider to at least land a scratch...But in retrospect this adds more sense of despair towards the finale. 5/5 There was no really despair. I suggest you to read the novel chapter of this fight. It's an explicit good end if a little bittersweet. Rider got what he wanted, was satisfied (for now). Waver and him are bonded due to the oath, etc. Waver understands he'll be added to his ranks and he has to work hard to warrant the praise. That he isn't alone anymore. Separation is meaningless. |

By the way, this is the reason why people kept speculating about that Waver-lookalike inside Ionian Hetairoi, because Waver officially joined Rider's ranks here, and Epic Heroes exist outside of time... |

So sad, Gilgamesh is full of Hax, just like Sasuke Iskander died like a tied up Gladiator Lancelots identity didn't gave enough impact onscreen Maybe some story background on the next episode would enlighten that |

True. Rider had the best end that a servant could ask for in FZ (I mean, look at Lancer!!) All that left from now on is despair and more despair.

Here: http://typemoon.wikia.com/wiki/Fragarach It's more of a Anti-Ultimate Attack+sure kill instead of Anti-Gil.Anti -Gil would be FSN Archer's UBW ,although against a serious Gil it wouldnt be that helpful. |

Great episode as always, I'm filled with so many emotions! I knew rider was gonna die, still sad, but at least he went down fighting, and did not die so soon in the series So we finally know, Berserker's identity... it's funny how fate zero portray the most famous and noble Knight that practically everyone in this world knows his name, and turn him into nothing more than a mad man While lancer was exactly how we would picture Lancelot would be, chivalrous, loyal, noble, and great with the ladies haha |

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. |

Well Fragarach would be able to kill Gil IF he was serious against her.Thats why I put UBW as an Anti-Gil instead of Fragarach. |

I feel Fragarach was created by Nasu to troll the shit out of all the overpowered beings in Nasuverse. Fragarach vs ORT, who would win? (inb4 thread derailed) |
