Fate/ Series Q&A

[Hemisphere]

No problemo.

[jaychousucks]

in the final episode, after saber defeats gilgamesh, he states that avalon was "untouchable even to the 5 magics," and on wikipedia it states that avalon is "comparable only to "true" magic."
so my question is: what are the 5 magics and what is "true" magic?

[CrYsYs]

I got a question that I still don't understand.

In episode 2 when Shirou gets stabbed by Lancers spear, I don't get the reaosn why Rin saves him with her jewel saying "No...Don't let this be happening...why did it have to be you?.." Was she going to save him anyway even if it was not Shirou? and why Shirou? Did she notice that he was another master (but still saved him? o.0) or did she have a secret crush on him or something?

[Kaskasero Kunai]

I would say she had a crush on him, unless someone else can point to it being something else. However, she had good reason not to say anything throughout the rest of the series...

Spoiler for Rin's monologue from the Fate prologue:

...I'm sorry. I will at least accompany you to the end.

I will my fingers to stop shaking with my mind, and steady the knees that apparently are going to collapse at anytime, finally confirm the face of the student on the ground.

--------

Clang.
Seriously, it's as if the back of my head is been knocked by an iron hammer.

...No. Why, are you...

I grit my teeth
Not to hold back the shaking
I really am, panicking inside my brain
Why is it this guy
Why does it have to be this guy
I can't feel anger toward Lancer at all, he only acted according to the code of Servants, finished the witness off, without a second thought.
But to the one, who stay after school at a day like this, a time like this, I can't forgive this guy...!

--------

The face of Sakura is emerging in my head
That child will definitely cry, won't she

And follow by that thought, is a memory of one day after school, under a crimson sky.

...The sunset was far away
A boy kept running
From a distance, a girl was wasting her time, watching his back without taking her eyes off of him

--And then, the corpse of someone who got involved in the war appeared in front of me.

Fate translation by shuchung@Beast's Lair

From the game demo, it sounded like Rin was both thinking about Sakura's reaction and her own crush on Shirou.

[CrYsYs]

Ahh I thought so, thanks.

One more question.

In episode 4 I recall when Saber is getting beat up by Berserker her eyes are colored red and when Shirou comes to save her, her eyes turn back to that green-ish color.

for example here is the scene when her eye colors change.

As shirou charges to rescue saber...




Watched all 26 episodes and played the eroge along with ataraxia so go ahead and throw it at me

[Hemisphere]

I thought it was from the blood leaking out of her wounds?

[CrYsYs]

It could be....I jus thought it might have some cool meaning to it =[ xp

[aldeayeah]

I don't think it has any special meaning (apart from the fact that she's badly hurt); but who knows, perhaps she was transforming into Arcueid...

[CrYsYs]

XD hehe that would be interesting

Spoiler for XD Then this person circled from ataraxia must be shiki? ^^:

[Hemisphere]

Not really. He's just some kid. I know that Saber was playing with Mitsuzuri Ayako's younger brother/s (?) there in that scene.

[CrYsYs]

Lol I was just joking I know it can't possibly be Shiki ^^;

[yellowkaiq]

What, tsukihime??? Oh my god...I loved that anime.

[mlai]

I thought the red pupils just meant that she was being overtaken by battle-lust at that moment; she was going to go down fighting like a ferocious beast, without another thought for herself or what she's fighting for.

I feel the red pupils thing was overused in the anime. Gil having it was ok, but why Lancer?

[asincuka]

when Saber fought with assasin the second time
the assasin itself says that Sasaki Kojirou it's only a fictional character that grows on people hearts that Sasaki is strong...
it's that really true that sasaki kojirou didn't exist on the real world??

thanks for the response...

[mlai]

There is a documented historical master swordsman named Sasaki Kojiro. Documented in official government records.

However, Musashi never mentioned his duel with Kojiro in The Book Of Five Rings (but neither does he mention any other duels, so I don't see any point in that argument).

Also, there is some chronological inconsistency with Kojiro's age at various points, so the question is raised: Was there ever really a swordman named Kojiro as we know him today?

HOWEVER, his possibility for being real is 100,000,000x higher than ANY of the other Servants being real past heroes.

Edit: Other than Alexander the Great, that is.

Edit #2: Oh, The Old Man of the Mountain... also a real historical figure. Although he's more a Bin Laden than a super Arabian ninja.

I'm very interested to play the game. Does anyone know where i can purchase this game? thx!

[saner]

I watched ep24, will Shirou fall in love again? What is your opinion.

Well, it's part of the character design. Both Gil and Lancer are demigods so it's no wonder they have some "inhuman" design traits. Like Caster's elf ears.
