The latest novel is Novel 16, which has not yet been (and I don't think it will be) incorporated into Season II. Seeing how there will be a 17th novel, I think it's safe to say that there will be a Season III in the anime. Of course, that depends on how J.C. Staff plans to end Season II as well as the release rate of the novels themselves.

Doesn't the 17th novel come out soon?

Actually most people ar eblieving that they'll show part of Volumne 16 becuase the next Episode is based on the last Chapter of Volume 14.

but they missed out the first half of 14 and last bit of 13, so i doubt they will do 16.

No dates have been released yet as far as I know.

[Sterling01]

They might change vol 16 up and have the Shana/Yuji fight as the last ep

[Deathscyther]

Or they'll do something with the Konoe-part left in Hecate

Off-topic but,

Spoiler:

Gilgamesh's weakness was revealed in Unlimited Blade Works, so if you only saw the anime there's no way you would have known. His Noble Phantasm "Gate of Babylon" has all the Noble Phantasms in the world, but the trick is that that number is finite - eventually, Gilgamesh will run out of weapons to hurl and he'll be defenseless, save for his Enkidu (his chain) and Enuma Elish, the latter of which requires a long time to power up and the former having little to no effect on non-divine beings. Emiya Shirou is able to defeat him by tracing every one of Gilgamesh's swords and using the traced copies to destroy the real ones.

By extension, Sabrac's weakness (as I was told) is that his power is finite - he uses up most of his strength to nuke everyone with the initial area-damaging attack, then he focuses on killing one opponent before moving to the next so as to allow time to recover and minimize needlessly wasting his strength. He basically waits for his opponents to weaken from Stigma before killing them. He'll eventually run out of power if he keeps fighting at his pace.

It's really the style of the assassin - poison someone then occupy them long enough so they won't escape and the poison kills them off.

Ok with the latest episode just shown I have a question. I thought Sabrac was the trigger to Yuji to become SnH but I dont really see Sabrac did much to Yuji other than him stabbing Yuji in the beginning of the fight just to destroy the communication with others. Anyone care to tell me whether there's something missing or it does have something to do with it. And I thought anyone who got injured by Sabrac's blade will bleed to death but how come it has no effect on Yuji (or maybe it's just because he's a Torch)

Well, in Epidoe 21, Sabrac just disappeared in Shana's flame. We can't tell if he is really dead.

no, sabrac's blade will not make something like that...
it's from stigma..
a skill which is like rain/explosion/burst that can only be used few times, if I'm not wrong...
that three flamehaze got a damage from that....

[cnnydz]

^ well sabrac casted stigma on every single one of his sword, so that means every wound he caused with his swords/tsunami/"bullets" will suffer from the spell

Spoiler:

if comparing to the anime, i think they won't cover the SnH arc. its already 21/24 episodes and the only tough boss for the record is sabrac and he was supposed to be the one that would let SnH out as revealed in the novels which i doubt he accomplished in the anime.

with this i could speculate that the anime will end with silver as the final boss. silver gets defeated but something would affect yuji with that battle and it would be carried over to SnS III where SnH is finally revealed. the anime is catching up with the novels after all, unless JC doesn't insert an anime original end, SnS might be scrapped.

i think it was cnnydz (or was it detox) that said way back that SnH conversed with yuji deep in his thoughts by showing him another image of himself inside a mirror inside his dream. if so, i guess this meeting would be significant before SnH is fully introduced as this reflects how yuji wanted to end the fighting and how he wants everything to be at peace.

well these are all speculations since the anime is about to end and i still didnt see SnH in action yet. T_T

It is very, very likely we'll see SnH in the anime because next week's episode is when he first appears. Sabrac apparently let him out when he poked Yuuji with his sword, or perhaps earlier when Yuuji was knocked out. It is also likely we'll get a cliffhanger ending, which I'm sure a lot of people won't be happy about.

Sliver can't be defeated as SoTF can summon them

Also if Yuji is going to merge, it will happen next episode

Wont that be too fast, I mean I thought since the anime is still in vol.14 instead of Yuji merging with SnH, he decided to join Balle Masque and I could only think of a cliffhangar if they decided to end it in vol.14 or vol.15 with only 3 more episode left. With the episode title of next week, it kind of make me think it'll be either Yoshida getting a confession from Ike or Yuji's thought. I was hoping that cnnydz will tell us whether Sabrac really did something to Yuji on the anime or not though.

[CapoExecutor]

They might just extend the season beyond 24 episodes or make a movie.

Sabrac did do something to Yuji, it just no noticable at the moment, but you'll probably find out what it is in the next episode.

Yuji was unconscious at the beginning of 20 after all, Sabrac had plenty of time to do whatever he felt like.

Yes, Sabrac did put his "Sword" inside of him while he was unconscious


and by Sword I don't mean weapon
