Fate/stay night

[Yukimura]

Coments on the new OP. The many mysterious things we see there. The sorceress from the temple was amoung the other servants in the first scene. Wasn't she Assassins master? The guy Saber is fighting looks like the guy from ten years ago, seen at the beginning of the first episode. Archer and Shiro are fighting (With what looks like the sword from the preview for ep 16), last I checked Archer was dead (unfortuanately). So many juciy mysteries I almost wish I hadn't looked anything up about this show and ruined a couple of them.

As to the ep, awesome, I was afraid that Berserker could just heal anything and was totally immortal, but this is much better. He's a monster but he can be defeated, though Illya should't have told them all this, especially how many lives he has left. And Shirou's magic seems to grow everytime he uses it. I don't think he's reinforcing anymore, he seems to be doing alchemy and just changing stuff into whatever he wants. This episode was good from beginning to end, the awkward 'H' scene, the dragon, which seemed totally unnessecary, Berserkers NP, and Shiro about to just dream some awesome wepon into existance all in one, I so wish it hadn't ended!

As for the OP: I said before that the sorceress was Caster, some time ago in this thread. It seemed to be implying that she had enslaved Assassin, or at the least their two agendas coincided. He said that his soul purpose was to guard that gate, nothing more, and nothing less. Here is the post where I detailed the reasons that she is Caster and definitely not one of the masters. My previous post proving her identity as Caster

This is really just semantics, but his "reinforcing" is still what it's always been, he's just better at it. Rin was saying that he doesn't "change" the material so much as completely recreate it from nothing.

And for the record, that was probably one of the worst cliffhangers I've seen in a long time. If Rin gets squished, I'm not gonna be happy at all.

Well I'll hint you in on the part with Archer and Shiro fighting. Those look like a compilation of scenes found throughout various parts of the game's storylines and may or may not happen in the anime unfortunatley. That's all I'll say, so you aren't disappointed when such and such event doesn't take place... I hope you don't think thats spoiling it, as I tried to cut short as much as possible. But in all honesty with the way they've done things thus far, there is really no telling what will and won't happen.

Awesome episode. I liked the first OP much better than the new one.

The ritual scene was a bit weird because Rin said they need a lot of physical contact, but Shirou and Saber didn't really touch. If it's for Shirou's soul's entry into her body, then I don't see how undressing Saber helped.

...and we all know that Rin isn't about to get squashed.

Anybody else notice that in the last episode it was Stated Archer killed Berserker 5 times yet in this episode after Rin offed him that it was stated he still had 7 lives left... That seemed kind of wierd to me.

[complich8]

I too noticed that ...

I figure, he gets 12 revivals. So has to die 13 times total (or, zero counts, in other words).

Archer's killed him five times, and rin's killed him one more. So that's six of the revivals, meaning he'll still stand up after being killed six more times. It's that seventh time that'll finish him off.

Yeah, that part seemed a little weird to me at first, so I just think of it as Berserker being given 12 extra lives, allowing him to live 13 times.

You and me both. I already lost Rider, if Rin died I'd be upset that she was killed before Lancer. The CG on that dragon was sick, after facing that thing I would'nt even fear Berserker in the lease.
