Correct. IIRC, only A++ rank and below can be traced...

Spoiler:

sans Avalon.

As for Berserker's club, I think I remember that it was created from one of his temples by the Einzbern's and that acted as the catalyst to summon him.

Either Saber, Rin, or Sakura. However, don't think that just because they have the best chance of winning that Shirou and the winner will end up a couple.

Personally, I have always been a Sakura x Shirou supporter. But after seeing that "Love Detective" thing in ataraxia's Eclipse episodes, I think Ayako's not that bad either. ^^; Minori and Himuro are also great together.... Ah, off topic. ^^;

...so TYPEMOON didn't put that in the storyline or was it revealed somewhere in the game?

2. Okay, theory.
So Archer's UBW (weapon hacks) can recreate any sword and/or Noble Phantasm that he has previously witnessed right?

And Gilgamesh has the "Sword of Disintegration: Air", which is a Class-S-ish weapon... which he only brandishes when he gets "serious"... (only time he got serious was in hollow ataraxia, I think)...

So... if Archer met Gil, then Gil went serious, but Archer "miraculously" survives Air... can he recreate the uber-sword?

*waits for Sushi-Y's post, and his butt getting whupped *

Why would I do that?

The others have already answered the questions, but I'll put my own in anyway.

Spoiler:

1. It was noted in Berserker's profile that Hercules was actually an "all-around" servant, and could have fit into any class besides Caster. It also mentioned his proficiency in archery. In fact, according to the profile, Hercule's most powerful Noble Phantasm would've been a bow called "Nine Lives" that he obtained after passing the Twelve Labours.

But since he was summoned as Berserker, pretty much all his skills and abilities are lost (disabled).

2. No, Gil-sama's Air is an EX-rank Noble Phantasm:

While Archer's UBW can only capture weapons that rank up to A++:


Gil-sama used it several times during the original Fate as well, not just in ataraxia.

My bad, I got the info about Archer's UBW wrong :P

Spoiler:

Air's not even sword.

It's more like a turbo drill vaccum lancer

Are there other methods that Masters use in order to replenish their Servant's mana, if the Master possess scarce magical abilities or does forbid the Servant to attack civilians and suck on their mana ?

Sex. Any transfer of bodily fluid?

Hooray for the Japanese then, if all the hentai is to be believed.

Spoiler:

But doesn't Rin have sex with Shirou in UBW under the pretense of recharging his mana supply?

Spoiler:

Actually this does make sense, since a Mage's genes would have concenterated amounts of mana to pass onto their offspring

Spoiler:

Yes, it gave him enough to power UBW IIRC.

Well, the producers can make that scene implicit (ala Tsukihime), that is unless they decide to go HF


Back to UBW, just one question:

Spoiler for UBW spoilerish question - Saber's Noble phantasm:

After Rin forms a contract with Saber, does Shirou 'regain' his immortality due to Avalon being reactivated?

Spoiler:

That's what I'm asking about - wouldn't the trasfer be from Shirou to Rin, if mana is transferred via bodily fluid?

Correct me if I'm wrong but

Spoiler:

Avalon doesn't grant one immortality, rather it shifts the user into fairy land so any outside force cannot affect the user, with a passive effect of making the person unaging and grants them a greatly accelerated healing factor.

Avalon was always "on" for Shirou, but since he had no idea it was inside of him and how to use it, he only benefited from the passive effects.

Question: I tried to read up on the full story on The Moonlit World, but one major question stumps me - where, exactly, is the divergence point between the three stories? Have we even gotten far enough yet?

Fate (Saber's route): Default first route, you must complete this scenario before you can move on to Unlimited Blade Works.

Unlimited Blade Works (Rin's route): During the night of the 3rd day, when Saber first appeared and was about to cut down Archer, a new selection point will appear here that let's you stop Saber, which will save Archer from being injured and take the story into UBW route. (During the first playthrough, there's no selection here, so Saber will cut down Archer and force you onto Fate route)

Heavens Feel (Sakura's route): Unlike UBW, there's no clear branch point here. Once you finish UBW and start over the game (the prologue can be skipped), you simply have to make selections that favor Sakura (basically, if a choice like "go meet Tohsaka" or "check up on Sakura" shows up, pick the Sakura one). If done right, the story will automatically enter Heavens Feel on the 4th day (the day after Shirou and Rin gets attacked by Berserker on their way home from church).

She must have been a really good lay then.

Hi guys i have a question regarding back to Episode 5 of F/SN, somewhere in 15:13, Saber was mentioning her link with Shirou is weak. My question is: How would this link be improve to be much stronger or is it the way it is once the servant is summoned? Thanks in advance for helping ^_^

Basically Shirou's a highly inexperienced Magus whom learned everything pretty much on his own, so he doesn't know how to supply Saber with mana.

ahh, so thats why Saber's sense of Shirou is weak, hm but on Episode 7, how did she know Shirou was er...attacked? when she mentioned in Episode 7, *Shirou, Why did you break your promise*? since the link is weak, she wouldnt have known >< unless.....maybe..someone told her, perhaps?

[stormy001_M1A2]

Saber's sex scene with Rin and Shirou...and Rin's reason to have sex with Shirou....

Spoiler:

In UBW, Rin establish mana channel link with Shirou thru sex, so he can use the spell. She is the one who insisted Shirou to have sex with her.

In Fate, Shirou's semen charge Saber to fight Berserker. When Rin suggested it first, Saber and Shirou went "WTF?!"

I do remember also Rider impersonating as Rin, getting mana semen charge from Shirou too.

Sakura's reason to be sexually active....

Spoiler:

Whereas overabundant mana pool within Sakura made her into nymphomaniac, so she slept with Shirou multiple times to let the magic "steam" out but it is not working as the magical worm charge her up faster than sex can discharge it. Too much input, not enough output. Hence Sakura's turn into Dark Side, in a way.
