Yeah, I agree with you but I think Nasu allowed him to live because he wanted to make him change after what happened to him. Well, at least he got what he deserved in Fate and HF.

I always wanted to see Shinji reform and end up on a team with Shirou.

Even if he did reform, it's not like he'd be particularly useful except perhaps as a meatshield...

It would just be neat seeing how everybody would interact.

First one is clear fanwank. You can't kill Zouken, unless you kill Sakura. Since you know, he's in her heart.

It took Kotomine to spend all his command spells (which equals a miracle each) to clear Sakura of her worms except the Crest of Worms. Had there be a chance, Rin would have taken it, you know? She wanted to help her sister, but she could only see a dead end ahead. Furthermore, neither Rin or Shirou do anything in the end. It was Sakura herself who took care of the problem after acquiring a godly hax that allowed her to survive GoB spam and decapitation.

Also they are going to London...

Well, Gilgamesh does stomp on the worms in the basement or whatever.

So he could have just used Gilgamesh to pummel Zouken and make him weak. He clearly seems to be weak and need time to recuperate when his body is destroyed. It just wouldn't have helped Sakura.

Heck so it was a Matou & Kotomine combo that grabbed Irisviel? I never would have guessed that. But he helped Shirou in HF so there is precedent. I wonder who got the intel on Emiya's base though.

Kotomine is so odd and interesting. He has an awfully complex way of enjoying people's suffering. If it can be called enjoyment.

And poor Kariya's completely lost it. Guess we got our answer on how Aoi dies! Now I'm just wondering how Rin grew up to be so well-adjusted.

Watch the episode where Tokiomi dies, 17 I think. Kirei got that info.

After episode 21, I gotta go back to something I predicted shortly after Fate/Zero started airing.

And if he was killed by him, it'd make Shinji's grudge against Emiya...Shirou all the more fitting.
Yess. Totally called it. Well, it wasn't shown whether Kiritsugu finished Byakuya or not, but still.

Makes me wonder where Shinji's been during this 4th War though. I guess he might be around the mansion and they just haven't shown him. I doubt many would care for a cameo from him, after all.

I heard he was Nasu's favorite male character in FSN, well deserved by the level of complexity he thought for him.

Well, they say a hero is defined by the villains he fights. So you have to put a lot of time and effort into making the villain have depth in order to build the hero.

Uh, Kotomine uses his Magic Crest to try to save Sakura. I don't think that's the same as a Command Spell....

Kirei wouldn't have any typical Magic Crests. Magic Crests are used by magi to pass down their own magecraft to the next generation. Kirei was born and raised in the Church, which opposes magecraft and wouldn't even think of performing such a practice.

The only thing that Kirei could have that fit the description of a Magic Crest are the Command Seals.

Like other said, Kirei isn't member of a legitimate magus lineage so there's no way in hell he has a Magic Crest.

What he called as "Magic Crest" is actually his huge stash of Command Spells that Kirei uses like a tool to temporally boost his magic abilities. (One of Nasu's QnAs even confirms it)
Further details will be in the finale of Fate/Zero.

You hit the nail with that one.
Thing is, Rin had 10 whole years to realize Sakura's predicament. She didn't.
How do we expect Shirou and Rin to save her when the duo is busy in London?

The only difference in UBW compared to Fate route is that maybe Shinji is going to be a bit less dickish with her.
Maybe
Perhaps he may had even a change of mind and attempt to save Sakura.
Only to be killed by Zouken with comical ease.


It might be cruel but there's really no salvation for Sakura in any route besides hers.

Yep. And the streak of dead (cute) female characters in Fate/Zero continues.

Episode 18: Shirley
Episode 19: Natalia
Episode 20: Maiya
Episode 21: Aoi

I imagine episode 22 will finally break it, since it seems a little too soon for Iri to bite the dust still.

You can only save Saber in Fate (she is going to Avalon there).
You can only save Archer in UBW.
You can only save Sakura in HF.

One of these is not like the others.

Archer never really gets saved. All the Servants are just copies of the original, so he would never really know any of it happened.

The next time EMIYA gets summoned, he'll be back to square one.

Problem is, we never get to see what happens to him. We hear it from Shirou, and well ...

I just find it aggravating that the guy does all these horrible, irredeemable things and then manages to get out of it.

What I meant was that he got Gil to destroy Zouken's body. It does explain why he went to the basement in the first place. And why Sakura spends so much time in the hospital (other than her being a false grail and what not)

Didn't the narration point out that he still had some (Command Seals) on his hand unused since the last war during the Assassin/Zouken fight? I think that he might have left the Crest of Worms there intentionally, and only removed what was necessary for her condition to stabilize back then.

And Illya. And Saber is going to Avalon anyways---actually scratch that, Saber is already in Avalon thanks to the Nasulogic involved with the time travel and the contract she made only taking her from minutes before her death to be summoned in the timeline where she had already died in an became a Heroic Spirit.

Well, it's a little ... different for Archer, since it's more like his soul was put at ease (He realized he wasn't wrong) but pointed out that he was probably going to forget it on the next summoning. And the ones saved in UBW were Saber (even if Shirou thought he didn't, his fight with Archer (and her seeing herself in EMYIA) and her seeing what the Grail really was made her realise her mistake and give up on it and accept her destiny) and, well, Shinji since he dies in every other route (but lives in this one for some damn reason ...)

Pretty much ...

... which is pretty strange, but I guess it's because her situation is more trickier to deal with.

Well, he also does imply that Counter Guardians retain some memories that are necessary for their job. It's unlikely that he will still remember the entire war, but he might have some faint images stored in his head.
