But either way, I agree that Rider is probably gone... for now. There's really no way to tell whether or not she's gone for good though, since this is the anime and they can do anything they want. Spoiler for this episode:

I still find the battle scenes somewhat lacking compared to the game, but I suppose that's to be expected in most cases. Your imagination runs too wild for any animation team to really compete. Despite what I said, it was pretty good episode overall, though I agree the dark aura of HF route is slowly seeping in. As for charging Saber's mana...oh boy. |

Aww man...this episode is waaaaay toooo cooool. I was like..."You're dead Rider" when Saber was shouting the name of her Nobel Phantasm. Shinji sure gives me the creeps again. He's a sore loser anyway. The only thing I'm curious about is what Sakura is saying when she saw that pillar of light.

Actually, I am a bit dissapointed with the Rider vs Saber fight (well, pre-NoblePhantasm phase at least). It just didn't feel intense enough . And I am not complaining about the animation (it was top-notch , as always. For a TV series ) , but the music used just couldn't provide the mood of the "epic" battle I was so anticipating for, if you know what I mean.
The episode itself was not bad , there were some memorable scenes , like when Rider petted her Pegasus. I mean , EVEN THE ANIMAL screamed from the joy of being stroked by Rider. A solid 7 from me. |

Rider and Saber last duel is tragic for Rider especially. If someone knew her from the legend; it magnifies her sad story in this anime. Did not help if you knew her sidestory from FHA. But Rider is female fatale to the last and the animators really protrayed her in luscious glorious sexiness before she kick the bucket. At least when she kick the bucket, she did it on her stead, Bellerophon....died fighting.
Rider is also more talkative in this episode. A bit unsual since she is quiet, sexy female in the start. Sakura mournful look and Rin's responding expression is priceless.

This episode so far rates between an 8 and a 9 until I see it translated to get a better understanding of some of the dialogue between Rider and Saber. That'll dictate which rating I will give it. Not totally convinced about the developing romance between Shirou and Saber. It feels a little forced to me, not like how Shiki and Arcuied from Tsukihime developed(and that was in half the episodes too!). We'll see what direction they plan on taking us.

I'd normally download the RAW, but I find it pointless because the next release will be soon. |

More inclusion of her story will distrupt the plot flow of anime and I hope this is last time we see her active role in the anime. The story must go on focusing on Rin, Shirou and Saber resolution. There is only so much character exposition episodes before the story must go torwards conclusion of its conflict. Remaining 12 episodes is not a lot considering they have to fit in Saber's story and why she is a Servant. Shirou's dream of being hero of justice, Rin's dilemma of duty and feelings. Ilya and Kotomine's role..... Caster and Assassin role is yet to resolved yet. Sakura simply have no space to fit in after all this aspect. So is Rider.

Side character or not, we are certainly getting enough hints from the anime that would be pointless unless the anime writers are going to do something with it one way or another. While we most likely wont get HF theres no reason to believe that they wont revise some parts of Sakura's story to be able to fit into the anime as a side story...... theres something I want to add but I'd better do it in the speculation thread...
