Putting that emo moment aside..today was a pretty good day. Despite being yelled at for no reason and being blamed for things that couldn’t possibly be my fault I was productive. The never ending present project is FINISHED! Clean clothes and dishes flow freely from the house of Tenchi. The best shirt EVER has been acquired. And I am currently watching The Thing. Ah yay me.
Beam me up Scotty!
So…yeah. XD I guess it is time to catch up on some anime? Flippin a 5 headed coin and it is said Fate/Zero was up next! Yay for coins. Spoilers for Mortal Kombat!!! Well except…no one dies.
Also WOMAN while you are at it make me a sammich!
Episode Summary in not episodey order: Saber and Lancer face off against Caster in the quickest battle ever. They are fighting the gross uglies but they are never ending. Saber explains Caster’s book makes him the most amazing person ever and that his mana will replenish automatically. Saber comes up with an instant plan to have Lancer hid within her attack and take out Caster. And so they do but not before they let Castor say some creepy things. After his magical book is destroyed Caster makes the ugliest face in the history of forever and leaves. Inside the mansion Emiya is firing his bullets at Kayneth to lure him into a false sense of craziness. Emiya then fires a magic bullet into the magical pet Mercury ball and it hits Kayneth in the shoulder/chest area. Emiya runs off and Kayneth spends most of his time walking slowly and being pissed off. Because Kayneth is the best magician ever and Emiya is nothing. A little flashback shows us that Emiya had these bullets especially made from HIS BONES. They screw up magic or something and become more effective each time it is used. So when Kayneth uses all of his magic to block the second magical bullet it really sets himself up to be vulnerable and is shot. He starts coughing up all the blood in the world and falls on the ground. Lancer leaves Saber and heads to the mansion to find his Master barely alive. Lancer says the only reason he is not going to kill Emiya is because he is a CODE with Saber.
Dude is looking pretty tore up to me...
Outside Maiya was trying to take Irisviel to a safe place. Only Irisviel stops when she realizes it is Kirei coming. Knowing that Emiya can’t stand up against two mages the ladies decide to stay and fight Kirei. Maiya gets her butt kicked early on but Irisviel is impressive with her My Little Pony magic tricks. Eventually Kirei stops playing the ladies and beats Maiya into the ground. He demands to know why the ladies stopped to help Emiya. When he gets to answer he stabs Irisviel with his Wolverine claws and leaves as he is notified the battle is over. Saber runs up and is like MOG what is this?! But Irisviel is magically healing herself so all is okay. It is shown in another flashback that Saber has a magical healing scabbard to whoever has procession of it. Emiya gave it to Irisviel and told her not to tell anyone, including Saber. Irisviel is happy they won the battle but know tough times are ahead. Kirei leaves thinking that Emiya is the same as him, empty and alone inside. THE END!
So many fights. X__X So many fights.
I was too! I was like where are the hotties?!
I will start with Lancer and Saber as they barely got any attention and I thought for sure they would be the main event. Instead they were pushed off the side and nearly forgotten about. :( So sad.
Err maybe Rider saw this face and ran?
I thought for sure Rider was going to come and rescue his “friends”. More like comrades with a strong code of knights. Whatever I mean to say. But nope. No one else showed up. Tis a little sad. But the rule was that the Servants could not attack other Servants before Caster was taken out so they were free to sit in the side line and do nothing. Just I thought Rider was going to come to the rescue.
We shall fest at the table of victors!
Maybe off screen the battle took longer but on screen it took about 5 seconds for Lancer and Saber to fight the gross monsters, come up with a plan, and send Caster packing. I thought more was going to focus on Saber being hurt and Lancer coming to her rescue. But nope, destroyed the never ending Mana book and off Caster went. Nothing really gained from this episode.
Um who is the one who just lost 3489273 gallons of blood?
Next battle is Emiya verses Kayneth. Kayneth underestimated Emiya and it cost him dearly. I don’t think Kayneth could have been more cocky if he tried. Pure blood this and blah blah. It was almost like he was expecting Emiya to be a pushover due to his status as a nonmage years ago. Well this is what you get for thinking that only old mage families can take part in the Holy Grail War. This is starting to sound like the plot to Harry Potter right?
Wait what?!
So…if I am to understand what I just saw….Emiya has bullets…made from his ribs…and inside his body is cake batter? Like Emiya is seriously the Pillsbury Dough Boy? I am not….I don’t even know. I don’t even know. Did I miss something on why his BONES are special? Or the bullet/doctor specialist that makes these bullets? Confused people. CONFUSED!
I think I would like this show more if things were explained beforehand and not thrown at us. Like OH yeah see these bullets are magical because of this. And this can happen because of this. It just seems like they are 5 year old kids going NO I am wearing an invisible cap that can also make me fly AND hold my breath under water forever.
Oh hi there blades o death.
The surprise battle of the day took place between Irisviel, Maiya, and Kirei. Like lala we are escaping and BAM Irisviel magical I am not a real powers told her danger was nearby. Too bad for them it was Kirei and he just got done watch ALL the X-Men movies. He was like I am ready to mess you up! And it didn’t matter who it was, even the trees were not safe!
Yes protect me....and I will use you as a meat shield MISTRESS!
Kirei was obviously too busy looking at Archer’s nipples or something in their heart to heart. Because he did not really look behind the motives on why Maiya and Irisviel were protecting THEIR man. I mean….i thought it was fairly obvious. But I am not an ex-priest who does not understand the human heart. I guess when one is busy learning how to be a magical ninja for God that doesn’t leave much time to learn about people. People are hard you figure out you know.
WEEE! Saber won't miss this or question anything!
But Maiya and Irisviel are okay folks. Because Irisviel has a magical scabbard. Even though it is Saber’s. Like…so is Saber running around with her sword not in the scabbard? I am confused again. And is the scabbard in Irisviel’s pocket or something? It was just weird. I guess no one can die in season one so they need reasons to keep everyone around.
Well maybe not Kayneth. He was looking…pretty dead. I guess the code of knights goes…farther than I thought. Because I was under the impression that a knight protects his Master no matter what. So it someone is attacking Lancer’s Master Lancer should have killed him right? Oh wait yes he is in love with Saber.
I choose you ThreadBird!
So there were three battles in this episode…and no one died! Yes yes folks there is a season two. The real question is...is Kariya going to make it to season two? Stay tuned to find out!

In the preview, when Iskander goes, “my Master is almost killed”, my thought immediately goes,Iskander must be thinking,”NO, that goes my XXXL pants!”
Sorry, I think I have a horrible personality.
Also, the BGM is AWSOME as always..
"...Kayneth overestimated Emiya..."
Did you mean underestimated? :-)
Oh yeah, if Emiya's ability is only time control, which only affects himself and hurts himself, Kayneth should have won. Little did he know that Emiya has 66 super cool magical bullets, made by a female sorcerer, from two of his rib bones. O_O
I wonder how many have he used all this time? From when he's an active (mage) killer? He may need to pluck more of his rib bones, lol.
Anonymous- X__X I forgot about the pants! Now I am even more mad that Rider wasn't there! He obviously doesn't want the pants that badly.
Eternia- Words are hard. My brain and hands need to have better communication. But yes underestimated indeed. But I guess it is hard to plan against magical rib bullets so I will give him a pass on that. I am happy to learn though he only lost two ribs in this bullet making process. That is a lot of bullets out of only two ribs though. Too bad they couldn't use hair or fingernails. XD
His ribs were made into powder, mixed with gunpowder, she only need a few amount for each bullets. :-)
Maybe there is some reason that it has to be bone?
It is weird that other servant didn't do anything, such as killing Kirei as he bullies the ladies. Especially Kariya, he has to win the Holy Grail War quickly, before he vomits even more worms, and turns into a corpse. :-)
Eternia- That is why I am so disappointed in Rider. He was too busy hanging out in his new shirt and forgot about his quest for pants. He should have showed up and helped SOMEONE.
But I don't think I am on the side of the Servants when it comes to "honor". I think I am okay with the other Master's killing each other. I think. Of course that sounds bad but if Masters are going to risk the already dead lives of their Servants they should be willing to risk their own lives. After all they are the one who gets the prize ya know.
Everyone keeps talking about how awesome Kariya but we have barely seen him this time around and I have like one second of a memory of someone holding Sakura "hostage". I am assuming he is the one I am thinking of but that is about it. He is not making a real impact on me.
