So it's always been apparent that Shakespeare's powers aren't of the combat kind, but apparently his abilities are potent enough for Shirou to put a restraining bolt on him. I wonder what his writing actually does.

Incidentally, while Shakespeare wrote many a tragedy, in no way are they his only works. I don't know much about his life, but I wonder where this idea comes from that he would naturally lean towards writing a tragedy.

I think Atalanta is being foolish though, and I don't mean her motivation. I don't agree with it, but I can sort of understand it. The problem here is that she seems to have this impression that she can 1v1 Jeanne and win... Which is pretty impossible if you ask me.

Interesting that Shirou's grand master plan is so 'plain'. I always wondered exactly how the Holy Grail would be able to grant "any wish", however... Materializing souls? This is exactly the thing that Fuyuki's Holy Grail was created to do, so it's completely possible.

I dunno if Atalanta is being crazy, or just stubborn
Jenne clearly said that she was no saint, nor did she see herself as one, yet Atalanta is insisting on killing the "fake saint"

Speaking of the Holy Grail and the Third Magic, I can never work out how things work in the Fate-verse , reading through the wiki just confuses me even more darn

[csuree]

wow they animated the airport so true to the original exterior and interior also.
kudos to them,and proud of my little country to be animated in a fine anime like this.

[Justice Knight]

where did jeanna get so many planes?

[Dengar]

Not Jeanne, it was the Yggdmillennias who arranged for those planes.

I don't know anyone who doesn't turn weird and irrational under certain circumstances. Seeing children being harmed is just her trigger. Nothing unusual about that.

Shakespeare's most well known work around the world, Romeo and Juliet, ends in the most tragic way possible. That's probably where the author got this impression from.

[ReddyRedWolf]

Yeah as seen with Fran and Jack Shakespeare's power of PLOT is just as dangerous as the Counter Force making sure you lose. Makes you wonder how much of this war has he written?

Left field things like Jeanne and Leticia both having the hots for Sieg?

Shirou was surprised by the appearance of Justeaze Lizrich von Einzbern as his master was a clone of her.

[Dengar]

I don't think it's that strange that they both like the same guy. I mean, it's been established that the girl is rather similar to Jeanne herself, right? I think he just triggers their maternal instincts.

Is there a thread for Episode 21?

[Kanon]

No thread. It sucks because that was the best episode of the season too.

Well, if he was unable to write anything but tragedies, killing him would be the only right move. Or maybe forbid him from writing at all, at least. It's reasonable to take precautions against his moods.

But I wonder what would happen if he writes a comedy?

I don't understand that wish. What does it do?

Um, this makes like what? The 3rd servant to go beast mode? xD
