Just rewatched the episode again. Oh my gosh what is wrong with the animation quality. First they draw out the light shining through the windows in the castle, then they added the light effects as the screen moves, and then they add the dust particles in the light beams.
And the reality marble oh my god the moving fog...and if you look closely THE GEARS ARE ACTUALLY TURNING. The whole screen is ALIVE. Unlimtied Blade Works? More like, Unlimited Budget Works. I can't imagine how much money they actually pour in this. |

Oh well, that's a good thing, because I don't have time for anime. The Fate franchise is the only thing that is making me remain. |

I'm usually not nitpicky when an anime series take some liberties in the adaptation (and Ufotable did improve the franchise with few stuff in FSN in general) and I have a love-hate relationship when it comes to FSN lore but...
There are 2 big issues here which seem to be glaring oversight. Namely Rin with 3 command spells (visible when she was talking to lancer), and Archer being able to cast UBW despite being masterless -and- running out of Mana. In any case, I'm certainly the minority here (again?) but this episode was more or less a bag of mixed feelings for me. I really liked lancer's scenes, but I just couldn't dig Archer/Shirou ones at all. Archer's emotions were raw and intense, but everything related to Shirou were so slow and dull I couldn't really enjoy them (partly because I probably don't care about him to begin with). No matter how Ufotable tried to embellish this part, Shirou's logic remains as empty as it was in the VN, so jokes aside, the whole "you are right / correct" part just couldn't click on me, because Shirou just came out as a brat who arrogantly believes he "won't" be like Archer. I wouldn't have trouble with Shirou trying his best to turn the tables against that potential future, but the whole conviction in being a superhero just left me completely uninterested from start to finish.

A Master doesn't receive any extra command spells, regardless the number of contracts they have performed with Servants.

During his fight against Shirou, he was already subject to symptoms that he is already running out of mana. And that part with Archer saving Shirou with Rho Aias is something I consider as a giant plot convenience back in the VN.

No, but confirmed by the materials. See Reference 1.

I always suspected the fact that Archer actually got magic circuits compared to other heroes, which possibly gives him the ability to regenerate his prana in this age in the same way that Magi do. The issue Archer was facing was the fact that he has no "anchor", which usually gives Servants the ability to have a physical form. So since Archer cannot maintain his form perfectly anymore, he starts to "leak" his prana. But since he still has enough prana in reserve, he can still cast the RM.
As for command spells: It can just all be blamed on Caster, who tinkered with the CS system and created "bugs" in the "system", like Rin getting back her 1 unused CS, along with Caster's 2 unused ones. Well actually in the VN Rin had 2 CS instead of 3, when she made the contract with Saber, but it was still more than she had before losing Archer, which was 1... so in the VN she probably just got the 2 from Caster for some reason, while her own just disappeard, while in the anime she gets both the ones from Caster, as well as her own.

Also, Considering archer stats, it is very unlikely his magic circuits would allow him to sustain -two- reality marbles within such short period without any prana supply. Even Gilgamesh with A+ needs prana supply if he wants to use his NP. Quote:
This has also occured in the VN for some reason, and the materials retconned that.

Without them, we would have never known that none of Fate/UBW/HF Shirou would have became Archer whatsoever. These are as canon as you can get, and they are often more accurate than the original VN which was vague as hell. For instance, Archer declaring he can reproduce Excalibur is a baffling bluff, since Nasu confirmed he can't retrace sacred swords of such caliber.
