I think that many girls do grow attached and fall in love with a guy after they have been "intimate," even if she might have been unsure beforehand. Saber suddenly has all those hormones and emotions building up inside of her that she is not used to, and she just doesn't know how to react. Intimacy for an inexperience person could develop feelings of shyness and innocence; since it is a new experience they are not sure how to react to. Just my 2 cents. On another note, doesn't the scene with Saber cleaning up the food stuck on Illya remind you of one big, happy family? Papa Shirou, momma Saber, and their little daughter, Illya? I don't know if this has been discussed before (excuse me if it has), but why is King Arthur a female? At first, I thought that maybe if we talk about past lives, then future lives can be male or female. However, with Saber's spirit and flashbacks, they indicate that she is female. If this is a spoiler, please say so, and I won't inquire more.

On top of that, it's pretty old (8 centuries if my memory doesn't fail me). Legends are easily corrupt... For instance, take the Epic of Gilgamesh (I dunno if you read it but I did), the oldest myth ever found so far. Depending on the tablets and on the version, things are altered. It's the same here. Arturia, who was a female to begin with, became "King of Boo-ri-ten" then a God of War, then... Arthur as we know him. Remember that this is just in the world of Type-Moon. |

I have my own theory on Berserker's defeat, but it's neither as well grounded as zato_1one's theory nor has much evidence supporting it. It's also somewhat speculation based. No, it's not merely because the title of the episode is called "The Sword of Promised Victory." Well, what everyone probably knows is that Shirou imaged Caliburn, the Sword in the Stone, the blade that Saber had lost forever. However, a comment by Rin later on in the episode referred to the sword as Excalibur, a holy sword. I can only believe that this is an error in the script or that this is a misinterpretation on Rin's part. I do agree with Rin on that the sword was a holy sword. Now, you probably asking why this is important? It's not too unlogical of a deduction to say that a holy sword can purify the darkness in one's soul, is it? Well, I've heard people refer to a fight in the game as "Shirou/Dark Berserker" and unless there is an alteration in the anime I believe that this is the aforementioned fight. Now, since Caliburn is a holy sword and Shirou is in arms against Dark Berserker wouldn't you say that Caliburn can purify Berserker's soul? Or rather, it freed Heracle's spirit of the darkness and thus freed it from his body. I believe that God Hand can only affect the body, not the spirit therefore the reason that Archer has such a tough time is that because he attacked Berserker's body which is affected by the God Hand. on the other hand, Shirou and Saber directly attacked his soul and in doing so defeated him in one attack.

Well, one of my friends believes that Shirou's magic circuit turning gold is the result of a spiritual connection with Saber. It's interesting, but I'm not entirely sure if I can agree with it. Shirou is more powerful when that occurs, but I can only make wild guesses at the moment. Most likely, it has something to do with his bloodline. Maybe he's somehow connected to a certain person who shows up in the OP.

Just been researching and found out how come Shirou killed berserker 7 times in 1 hit.
As you know, apart from physical attacks, some servent/masters can cast magical spells. However each servents have their own level of immunity against magic. For saber's case, she can nullify any magic below rank A. For berserker, thhe has no magic resistance, meaning all beserker classes are very open to magic attacks. However, this doesn't apply to Hercules, 'cause he has a mad enchantment, which can deflect ALL attacks with a power ranking lower than A. This is expressed in the anime where Shirou's arrow has no effect on beserker, even it's a dead hit. In the novel itself, it's clearly explained by Rin herself. Anyways, back on the topic. The question is, a well aimed attack of rank A hit beserker will kill him in one go, what about having an attack of rank A+ to hit him? Would he die twice or so? More so, what if beserker suffers a continous attack from a weapon with A++ attack? Beserker will lose a life upon contact of the attack, there is no doubt, and as long as the attack is continous, he will keep loosing lives until there is none. You can see in the anime the sword remained in beserker's body for quite some time, unleashing all its power within him, and that way it killed beserker 7 times. (Should beserker have more lives I'm sure it'll be drained away as long as the sword is still powerful) |

Ok on how beserker was defeated was... He just was.. Life goes on ^^
On the other hand is ilyasviel actually knew then why would she bring it up to them on the first place... Of course it'll help shirou with a lot of victories but... Shes still a master ^^. Just kill shirou when hes sleeping by some evil way like "Look into my eyes again" and dies... Doubt it... |
