Gilgamesh was proposing to Saber, the one and only woman he chose, and he allows a lowly worm to gaze upon the magnificence of this sight? Get outta here

I'm just saying it could have been shown better. It does lose tension if you have to put 2 and 2 together. Rather than "OOH" its "wait...ooh".

Those Black keys were meant to restrict Kiritsugu's movement so he couldn't dodge and fire at the same time, so he had to shoot Kirei before his brains go punched out. Putting myself into an anime viewer shoes, all i could think was that either he missed, or that they were going to curve or something (the screen flip helped). And yes, it's clear that the fight wouldn't end well before they were interrupted, but the point was that it was supposed to end right then and there if the grail hadn't fallen on them.

I know Saber was resisting. My point was that it wasn't shown.
