| very good episode we got to see Gilgamesh NP and they finely defeated taimat 4/5 |
 ”A fight isn't won once a victor is decided, it's won when someone loses.” – Izayoi SakamakiI don’t even know the real names of the two… no, three that I killed back then. I just closed my eyes, put my hands over my ears and tried to forget it all.” – Kirito MY ANIME LIST |
| ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh i do definitely think they did this singularity a bit of justice with that final battle they should have maybe made the fight against Tiamat a little bit more of the servants fighting her but I am 100000000000000000000000000% satisfied with the ending with Enuma Elish. god Archer Gilgamesh is always the goddamn best thing about Fate. fucking love him to death <3 i'm glad my boy Hassan got to show off more stuff than i expected he would and i'm happy we got such a nice sendoff for best girl Eresh. she deserved better but Christmas event made up for all the sadness here in the singularity ~ all those noble phantasms were so good tho gramps didn't get to use Azrael which was prob the biggest disappointment of the episode and i wouldn't have minded Ishtar using her An Gal Te Kigal She again. still overall, i'm satisfied with this episode and i'm hoping we get a Solomon teaser next episode :D |
| Though I was missing something but it seems a lot of peeps here also found the climax battle a tad bit anti-climactic. Eresh died but for some reason I felt literally nothing, and the whole Fujimaru thing has been somewhat... well forced in a way, can't put my finger on it exactly. Highlights were Archer Gil's entrance, Merlin using excalibur+sorcery, and EA. |
  |
| NOOOOOOO Tiamat mama deserves better, was nice to see her talk tho ;-; Eresh deserves better too ;-; and stop the Ishtar bully also >_< Zasshu using Enuma Elish was really badass wew. |
 |
| ENUMA ELISSHHH ! Why didn't this show was a 21 ep serie about Gilgamesh again ? I'm kinda disappointed by Tomokazu vocal performance, I know he cannot scream as hell anymore at 48 but damn I really wanted a long EEEELIIIIISSSSHUUUUU instead. Anyway I didn't care for the rest, Hassan could have been more intimidating but was still badass as fuck stomping those lahmus like that. Yeah try to make me sad for a death of a non-Rin when the other non-Rin says the typical tsundere "Baka" the next second, it doesn't work at all. Trying to excuse the thing that could have brought up the apocalypse meh why not Gudao but I would have impaled her stupid naked body if I was you, seems more appropriate for the monster that wanted to kill you and your friends since 5 episodes. 5/5 I want Gilgamesh to insult me like the mongrel I am and adore his absolute greatness as the King of heroes |
| Two Major highlights 1. RIP Ereshkigal BEST girl :-; 2. Gil can you please be less bright man you are too cool. Over all I think Hassan strength kinda disappointed me thought he would be the MVP here... already feel sad about its ending... I want more Singularities. |
twoego said: Certainly makes sense that Gilgamesh didn't use EA up until this episode, yes. Could say he couldn't unless he was a servant, but well, no such rule was established from what I know. The real wise King Gilgamesh at this point had accepted his mortality and sealed Ea away so no one can take it after his death, as it was a power of the gods that should not fall into human hands. |
| The worst character is the one who got the most screentime this episode, Fujimaru is such a disservice to the series. thank god Archer Gil in the underworld is a thing. |
| Damn. Looks like a lot of people have lots of mixed feelings about this episode. My only gripe personally was Hassan not getting enough action. I can kinda understand why since it's tough to pull off something really cool looking with a hulking skeleton dude with a sword, but still, he's a GRAND servant. Show off this man's power! At bare bones (no pun intended), you can't do much with a sword and no flashy abilities, but him being the determining factor in null and voiding out Tiamat's authority went a little too under the radar tbh. Not many people will understand the weight of his NP. It won't be last time we'll see him though, so I'm not complaining in the long run. Other than that, I would consider myself satisfied. The original scenes felt a little tacked on, but they still served as a nice contrast amongst the all out chaos going on. I really REALLY R E A L L Y want to see Solomon's singularity animated someday. It's the only battle that can ever hope to rival and even surpass the Tiamat suspense in terms of scale. I mean, assuming nothing in the Lostbelt comes this close with sheer epic factor (which most likely won't be the case, of course :p). |

twoego said: Because they made it up... Their interpretation probably isn't off but there's no given reason why his living self doesn't have EA at this point(atleast that I'm aware of). Of course, it's irrelevant within the scope of the story but we really don't need misinformation being spreadThat is a fine explanation, but I don't recall ever hearing that anywhere in the series. |

Swagernator said: Rebelblade71 said: At least he isn't a Gary Stu like Sieg who drags down the plot for wish fulfillment power fantasy for normies and harms the characters like Jeanne and Amakusa in Apocrypha. Fujimaru is more of a plot tool. To me he's like a flashlight that you shine on servants to see their story and nature. That's how they handled him in the game and glad they did not try to overly glorify him at the expense of others. Overall, he is pretty well handled in the anime since the nature of his character is something that isn't easy to adapt properly without screwing up (Last Encore did that with HAKUNO who felt like a friggen robot). And useless? Not exactly Just not super exciting to see. Fujimaru's role is like that of logistics vessels in Navy used for stuff like resupplying munitions. Won't look glorious like combat ships due to no firepower but their role is very importantcourseeless. Without him, Chaldea couldn't get boots on the ground in the singularities since he is the ONLY MASTER. Plus Mash couldn't do much without his support since he is her master. Not to mention how he supported other servants with his command spells and tactics. Let's not forget how he survived all the singularities so far. For a mere third rate magus doing the job intended for an army of magi with possibly more training, he's doing pretty well. Imagine wasting so much space writing about a self insert mobage character, dude stop before i start to thing you actually defending him. Why are you always so negative, man? |

Aure0lin said: Hashira_1996 said: is this supposed be good or bad because i’m a bit afraid i felt the episode stretched itself too thin by trying to give everyone a spotlight, especially the cookie cutter main character Well, yeah? They gave everyone a spotlight because they wanted to express how much of an equal effort it was for everyone involved. Everyone did their part. Admittedly it came off as a little cluttered, but I think there was no better way to pull it off without the episode having to be much longer. As for Ritsuka, like it or not, he's in essence the main character. Him having a big moment is to be expected like any other MC in the existence of ever. |
|
| OH MY FUCKING GOD! We got everything in this episode! Ishtar's Quick attack, Merlin's Extra attack + Excalibur, Mashu final ascension, every NP possible! Gilgamesh archer was just BEYOND PERFECT!!! Also I actually appreciate how they are giving Ritsuka (aka us, the reader) more importance than just giving orders and using skills like in the game. HUGE Spoiler if you didn't play (read?) FGO: |

Marinate1016 said: I see what the FGO discord is talking about now, that KH animation was pretty bad.. animation in general wasn't as good as we’re used to.. this episode. Highlights were Yuuki aoi talking and Enuma elish seemed like they were saving a lot for the next episode or something. I’m seeing lots of positive comments here, but the grand order sub and other communities are pretty disappointed with this ep. It could have been worse. In terms of animation, it was very average. Also, there are some fills that never happened in the game. For example, Tiamat never talked with the MC. It is more the small change affects the character's reasons to be a beast. |
Contreras1991 said: Im wondering what they will do for episode 21, i heard that it was supossed to be a 1 hour episode. It will pave the way for the last singulairty? or it will be the last singularity and the fight vs solomon This "one hour episodes" was probably just a legend of the fans, Babylonia has no more content for an episode like that, all that remains is to adapt the Babylonia epilogue and then it is the final chapter of this Singularity Arc |
| Visual Novels should have a place in this site, really |
| For the penultimate episode it was all right I guess, but Archer Gil redeemed this episode for me at least a little. |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. MAL is literally just anime Twitter as its own website lol. |
| RIP Eresh T_T. They went through a lot to achieve this victory but they finally did it. |

Indeed, Lostbelts are WAY BETTER than everything we have seen so far in part 1 of FGO. The singularities are basically a huge introduction to the Lostbelts chapters. (And Fujimaru is actually an important character in this second part as well.) |

| I really like Tiamat's design Episode was great as always and Archer Gil using Ea was epic |
 |
| The true King descends to the underworld to save the world. ENUMA ELISH!!! Gilgamesh in his true form and class was a sight to behold. Truly amazing. Two Camelot residents holding up their own to make way was quite something too. Merlin with Excalibur played real dirty like how he did Altria. |
When someone asks me why I like anime, I'd say Just Because. |

(And Fujimaru is actually an important character in this second part as well.) For sure. There are so many Lostbelts that would make for excellent adaptions, and this isn't even taking into account the next last few that easily have the potential to surpass Camelot and Babylonia. There's still so much to learn about the Beasts as well. Even if they don't ever go forth with an anime again, more movies are a definite possibility. |

| This episode had so many moments I was looking forward to since the anime started! King Hassan, Merlin reappearing, Gilgamesh in his best form (ARCHER). The battle where you have him as support is my favorite in the game so far. I was so excited when I played it in EN and again later in JP. In English I had double Gil out since I have my own Archer Gil :3 There's also just something about Gil wearing half armor and spiky hair that I love. It's a shame they played him as only a support character in this episode though, should have been the highlight of the battle instead. At least there was still Enuma Elish at the end. And the part with Ereshkigal, it hurts :< I saw images on twitter and just knew she was going to comment on the flowers in the underworld. My precious Goddess~ I like the part they added with Tiamat speaking. Better than simply destroying her. Now just one more to go. Overall the anime has been meh to me, but the last 4 episodes have been a real joy. I'm glad I waited to watch them all together. |
 |
| Kinda sad that I can't saw king Hassan np, overall good episode with full action-packed and that's lot noble phantasm |
 |
| I am 10000000% satisfied with what was done this week. Hassan didn't even see this many action in the game. So him running around being an absolute madlad was a bonus. Merlin figthing efficiently and giving the Lahmus a run for their money. Wooo. And finally....boy oh boy. GILGAMESH AT PEAK FORM!!! The NP chant. The ost. The animation. A man can die happy now. ENUMA ELISH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |
Giintora said: if cloverworks was going to give guda a big moment here, they should've made it worth the screentime by giving him more scenes before the final battle. he/she never had much substance as a main character in the game and it carried over into the animeAure0lin said: i felt the episode stretched itself too thin by trying to give everyone a spotlight, especially the cookie cutter main character Well, yeah?

| "I like young-girl sexual creations, Lolicon is just one hobby of my many hobbies," he says. I ask what his wife, standing nearby, thinks of his "hobby". "She probably thinks no problem," he replies. "Because she loves young boys sexually interacting with each other." |
Aure0lin said: They did give him scenes before the final battle though. But like you said, they didn't have much substance to 'em, and didn't really amount to much in the end since they were practically there to reaffirm the audience of how much of a righteous and virtuous person he is at heart.Giintora said: if cloverworks was going to give guda a big moment here, they should've made it worth the screentime by giving him more scenes before the final battle. he/she never had much substance as a main character in the game and it carried over into the animeWell, yeah?

It's kinda tough to give MCs like him substance when there isn't much to work with in the beginning, or without even ruining the character he stands for being humanity's last master. A lot of VN protagonists/Through the perspective of the player type MCs suffer from this too. Joker was really bland in the P5 anime, for example. The only reason P4's Narukami was enjoyable to watch was because of how goofy they made him. |

| The most epic episode in this show. How they can manage to pack so much awesomeness in 24 minutes is mind-boggling. Everyone is badass asf with their NPs. Gramps deactivates Tiamat's immortality, straight out eats those Lahmus like his snacks, it shows just how much a monster, embodiment of Death King Hassan is. Merlin uses Excalibur to fight those Lahmus showing his superiority in both magecraft and swordsmanship, this is the guy who taught Artoria how to use the sword after all, badass. Garden of Avalon + Lord Camelot for unlimted HP and Def ups. And finally frigging King Gilgamesh himself, in his full glory, full ascension, NP5 Enuma Elish yeets Tiamat aka Beast II out of existence. Ritsuka is also the MVP this time, guy is the last master, the last ray of hope of humanity, gives it all in to destroy Tiamat. He may be the weakest but he is the one who has gone the farthest of all. The meeting with Tiamat is sad :(, mommy just wants her children to love her :(, nearly shed a tear there, so emotional. Overall, 10/10 episode and series. Love Fate so much, I would watch anything from the franchise. The hype is freaking real now, I can't wait for Camelot movie! (And possible Solomon chapter adaptation?) |
| Based Certified. I love anime armpits. |
| I may look for it later because I think I missed something but did King Gilgamesh just summon his own servant Archer form or something like that? Anyways, I see quite a good amount of mixed opinions regarding this episode. As for me, I actually like it a lot. Similar to the previous episode, everyone got their own moment to shine and the extra focus on Ritsuka was more welcome than anything else. And of course, Archer Gil giving Tiamat the final blow by unleashing EA was an awesome moment. Tough the sound effects almost obliterated my ears... again. This said, my only "complaint" would be King Hassan not using his NP and having less screen time than I thought but other than that, I still loved every scene he was involved. Not to mention also that seeing him fighting and devouring Lahmu left and right was quite the badass sight, not gonna lie. Sadly, one more episode to go. This adaptation has been a really nice experience without a doubt. P.S.: Always wondered how King Hassan would move with such impractical armour but guess I was thinking it too much xD |

SouthRzVa said: I may look for it later because I think I missed something but did King Gilgamesh just summon his own servant Archer form or something like that? Not really. He used the fact that he is now a soul(which is basically a mass of information) to access his arrogant, King of Heroes arsenal.Since he gave up all those weapons and Ea in order to power up Uruk's defenses he needed a way to have quick access to them again. |
| i personally feel gramps scenes are weird, he's just jumping around, pointing the sword to tiamat and applying death concept... could have like just disappear into flame when tiamat shot him, appear on her back, then stab his sword, applying the death concept. imo it'd be cooler |
| Noice episode. Ereshkigal "death" was sad. :( |
| "The future is always blank. Only your willpower can leave footsteps there." "Ruling over death means ruling over life. Death is the climax of life. To have the best death, you must honor life." |
