Ahh, ok. Still playing the game, although I haven't found time to do it lately, so I wasn't clear on their relationship. Silly me~! She's his kana mouto (errm, by blood?). Well, better move on from this before I have flashbacks from "Sister Princess".

Back to eating!

They aren't blood related.

Spoiler for for reply to spoiler quote:

well if he think in terms of getting a head start so in about like 7-8 years he can have a much younger girlfriend.... but she is wayy too underage for my tastes

@ demon_god04 - Awesome...

Demongod, man. Thats hilarious. "Death of a True Master".

As for the Shiro/Ilya thing, I'm thinking along the lines of Maika from Magikano. Maybe she, too, likes getting a rubba rubba from her nii-chan.

[darkchibi07]

LMAO!!!

Pure genius!!!

[Aznhobo]

The action scenes were very good but they held out Saber's charging up way too long, probably just to get Shirou there. This series is finally living up to its name, can't wait for the next episode

I dont think Ilya is as.... obsessed as Maika... and if Shirou ever actually agrees to a "rubba rubba" with her...... well my respect for Shirou will go down a few notches -.-

and wow thanks I actually didnt think that parody was very good so I wasn't going to post it -.-

My guess is caster break the contract with her master (either her master used up the command seals or she killed her master). And then either she summoned Assassin as her own Servant (making her the seventh Master) or Assassin's master died as well (or used up the command seal) and Caster made a new contract with him.

Caster has a master, who you'll see soon.

Oh, really? I didn't think that was possible. This just gets more interesting.

well even though I've seen some different fan art then what they have shown Iyla to be in the anime, I was kinda suprized at the preview anyway.. Go! Shirou! I wonder if they are going to add even more! girls to Shirou harem like situation or mabye a they will add a guy?

The way Rider moves around and fight is what makes her awesome, I really!! wanted to see more of the Rider and Caster? fight still the moments they had was good.

This time around the episode interesting the whole time, it was better then most of the recent ones, Assassin's Voice was Perfect! and the guy was interesting too, a few good characters introduced this time around, well I just hope that they wont be keeping Assassin and Caster in the Dark for to long, I want to see more action with those guys in it.

[Mizuno]

sorry, i guess i should use the pause/slow motion button a bit more often. my apologies.

[Sorrow-K]

I suspected it was Lancer... but I agree, that should really be spoiler tagged.

Best thing about this episode was the next episode preview. Next episode really looks like it's going to be very interesting (and I'm not just referring to topless Saber).... particularly the whole Ilya/Shirou thing.

Atmosphere in the fights was great again. Easily the best thing in this series. It really helps make the fights a compelling watch.

Even though I disagree with his (extremely naive) reasoning, I think Shirou's ultra-defensive approach to the War is a good one. Hell, if I were in his boots, I'd go into hiding until all the other Masters wipe each other out, and try to defeat the remaining in as sneaky a way as possible. That's how I'd play it. But Shirou seems to not want to take part in the War at all. It's almost like he doesn't care if he loses so long as Saber doesn't get hurt and I can understand why that attitude pisses her off so much (hell, it pisses me off). I'm interested in seeing if this experience will be a reality call for him, because he's excessively naive, and as such a very difficult person to like.

Shirou didnt even want to take part in the war in the first place, it was only when Kotomine asked if he cared if the grail was used by evil people to do harm that he decided to play along. Its not like he personally want to use the grail or has any drive to obtain it, just to prevent someone to use it to cause disaster, and it shows. Its no wonder that Saber is angered by that additude.

[Paracelsus]

omg wtf....thank you...i didn't notice that...i was sure it was rider in retreat o.O

[demon_god04]

thats what I thought too, until I realised that the shadow didnt have that long hair length and had a pony tail

You meant "Rider", right? Because this is Riker. I'm not sure if those were unintentional spelling errors cuz it happened twice so...

Now that I understand the episode, I have a newfound respect for both Sabber and Assassin. And I'm glad Shirou and Saber have their talk, I was getting tired of seeing them bicker like an old couple. Hopefully now they'll begin to understand each other more.
