Still, I would prefer Saber female over Saber male any day. I couldn't imagine how interesting it would be to see a stoic male Arturia over a stoic female Arturia, as typical female main characters are just squealing tsunderes, so it was nice to have someone like Saber who's cold and calculative, despite being a female. Glad to see that we have another badass heroine to add to the roster, and not just badass in the dark and gritty way like Remy of Black Lagoon or Integra Hellsing from Hellsing, but someone honorable and noble. And also, I think that honorable part was the thing that really made Saber so compatible with Shirou. There's a real chemistry there, partly because of this similarity, which works effectively as a romance story. A female badass heroine that defends a male hero who isn't just a whiny wimp like Rock Okajima? That was something fresh for me. Despite being physically weak, Shirou obviously has the spirit and willpower to match Saber, so this match-up became really intriguing to watch.

Whew! Now, I'm back from my Asia trip, here's the final act of Best Friend Arc's illustration! Man, I wonder what next arc Sakurai Hikaru will be working on? I hope the next one will be about Rider's Master, (Isemi, I think that's his name) and how he got this "chimerization" experiment from the previous war.
