However, in the Fate route, she have demonstrated that she is capable of blocking some of Gilgamesh's weaker attacks, and knowing the fact that Archer's attacks are all weaker form of Gilgamesh's, she can block them if Archer is to fight Caster 1 on 1. Unfortunately is neither will allow the situation.


I'm not sure about it, but I remember Archer once mentioned in Fate/HA that he wears his red coat when he think he is fighting for justice--so I believe the chance of Archer actually holding back in the 5th HG war is slim.


Lancer is partially immune to projectile weapons--if he can't see them then he can't block them--hrunting is a weapon that takes long to charge up and is to be used for long distance/sneak attack. So yes you are right, Lancer cannot block it--though in regular battles none of Archers weapons are capable of defeating Lancer when both hold nothing back.

As for Caster, Archer is capable of beating her with some strategy when her attention is distracted by Rider and Shirou(as demonstrated by the UBW route).

I was not considering sniping/sneak attacks when I wrote out the assumption, but I can't see a reason why Archer won't use such tactics if he really want to win...


Nine Lives was only aquired when Shirou actually abandons his own ambition to be the hero of justice and decided to be the hero of Sakura alone--Im not sure how, but I guess he acquired Nine Lives via the link of him and Berserker through Sakura. Archer on the another hand have never seen Nine Lives...allow me to read HF again to comfirm...
If archer attack is a weaker attack of gilgamesh why does UBW swords can still cancel them out? Shouldnt they breaks through the swords and kill shirou??

Is gilgamesh GOB NP unlimited??

Talking bout Gilgamesh(UBW) his outfit does he only wear those kind of outfit when he fought shirou? Why didnt he use his golden armour??

Quite a few reasons:
#Plot protection
#Gilgamesh held back

Pick one or all.

You don't need an attack as strong as your opponent to cancel them out, the defender always require less strength to defend against an attack--but that's just my experience as a martial artist.

Quote:

Of course not--he only have the original of each Noble Phantasm, meaning there is only a maximum 'N' Noble Phantasms in Gate of Babylon, where 'N' stands for the total amount of Noble Phantasms that existed

Quote:

#Gilgamesh do not think Shirou deserve to fight him at full armor/power
#Gilgamesh thought Shirou's attacks are too weak to even reach him
#Gilgamesh thought attacks from his Gate of Babylon is more than enough to kill him many times over and over again
#Gilgamesh thought Shirou don't know magic(which is true)
#Gilgamesh could not put it on in time
#Gilgamesh ran out of hair gel

Pick one or all

There's too many reasons for Gilgamesh to not wear his armor...

I think the swords in UBW are stronger then the swords when Shirou "project" them becouse he doesnt have to "image" them, so they dont have much flaw's, so they are closer to the original sword and the user can make the diffrents.
And Shirou absorbed Archer's skills while fighting him so he became beter at "project" and fighting with swords then he was in Fate route.
And Gilgamesh is a "owner" of the swords and not a "wielder" so he was never able to use the swords with full power. Yea, Gilgamesh held back becouse he thought that Shirou wasnt worthy enough to fight him with full power.
In UBW Shirou's swords were there on the ground ready to be used that it self gave Shirou advantage. When Shirou saw what sword Gilgamesh went to use then Shirou took that sword and swingd it with all his might and Gilgamesh wasnt able to handel his attack and had to swing so hard that his sword got destroyd together with Shirou's sword.

This is based on UBW route, Im still waiting for Heaven's Feel translation.

There's no solid proof for that, but good point you have made. I think you've got this idea from the Caliburn scene?

Remember, at that time Shirou was in a 'hot blood' state that he is only describing things from his impression--we will need to use our imagination here to feel what happened during the fight...I think when Shirou say 'swing' he's actually shooting them out, as all his limbs were in a bad shape from his fight with Archer the day before. Without the contract with Saber Avalon won't heal his body, so there is no way that he can swing Noble Phantasms so many times...

I'm guessing so, but I just don't want to make assumption...

Last time I checked, the translation was a little past the first actual Sakura h-scene. However, it's been put on hold at the moment.

I think they starten with shooting swords at each other then fighting like swordman.
Archer did say this while fight Shirou.
"Her sheath...! Its protection is still there, even though the contract does not exist anymore...!"
So, avalon might have heald his body little before the magical energy rund out. Or it still might had effect while fighting Gilgamesh.

Why is Reality Marble a forbidden magic? If the awnser is going to be given in Heaven's Feel just say "Its going to be awnser in Heaven's Feel"

Heeey. Nice to see another girl in this sub-forum. None of my friends enjoyed Fate/Stay Night(or any Type Moon works) so it sometimes feels quite weird...

Mainly because of the leak--have the people only waited for 3 more days they would have a fully functional installer and without loosing the translation. I'm currently recruiting translators for HF(Chinese>English though).

Oh great, seems I missed that part. But still, without the actual connection Avalon does not heal as good as it was, but seeing that he has the strength to resist being [=spoiler=] with Gilgamesh after the battle, I suppose he's restored a great deal of his body.

I think it's just a translation problem--in Japanese it's '禁咒'(Kin Chou)--and when you translate each word separately it's 'forbidden' and 'incantation '. However when used in fantasy novels it actually means unable to surpass. Reality Marble is a level of magic where magicians have to pass a barrier that's impassable to acquire it.
It's quite hard to actually find a good translation to it, while explaining it in detail will quite a lot of take time and effort. As people who read Type Moon works generally have an interest in occult and magic, they should be familiar with these terms to understand what they mean over time like common knowledge. There're many cases where terms are understood without explanation, all you need to do is read a lot.

I see. So Reality Marble is the hardest magic to acquire? and is not forbidden.


Who does Shirou mean with 'Waiting for one's arrival."
Does he mean Archer? since Archer came from the "Seat of the Heroic Spirits"
But then again Shirou shoudnt know that Archer was coming

He knew about Archer's identity in the UBW route, and swore to not walk the same believe of him.

"Image" is like making a blueprint in his mind of a sword and "Projection" is making the sword out of that blueprint.

UBW is like a steel manufacturing factory, every sword apears in UBW that Shirou saw.
Only swords that are missing in UBW are Excalibur and EA.

The reason why they're missing is because the world does not have the material nowadays right??

Yes EA isnt there bacouse its not from this world.
But I dont know why Excalibur isnt there, I sayd that based on this line that Archer sayd to Saber when they were in UBW.
"Yes. I do not mind if you would like to test it out.
I shall reproduce that holy sword of yours."

Excalibur is there. The very fact that Archer could make it is definite proof that he has it in his UBW.
