>>135060888

Fate/ was really just who has the bigger dick between Shirou and Gilgamesh, if you look at it from a Freudian psychological point of view, the swords that Shirou always dreams about represents penis. So whenever he constructs swords out of his hands or in his mind he is really just giving birth to penises, the final fight between Shirou and Gil was really just comparing dick sizes to see who has the bigger dick.

reminds me of this

(1) good will eventually prevail over evil

(2) creation was initially perfectly good, but was subsequently corrupted by evil

(3) the world will ultimately be restored to the perfection it had at the time of creation

(4) each human bears the responsibility for the fate of his own soul, and simultaneously shares in the responsibility for the fate of the world.

He's a teenage kid who never experienced any super real shit, and was cocky to prove himself. When it came time to do that though, it turned out reality was pretty brutal, and he wasn't as tough as he thought he was.

The story builds him up into becoming the man he thought he was at the beginning.
>>
>>135067846
I still think his team got it waay too easy. Like how Saber spared them both, or how Gil complimented him and Rider and let him live.

Rider shouldve died against Saber. Saber and Gil fight somehow and Waver has to deal with Kariya & Berserker alone.

Why? I can understand Gil killing them for shit and giggles, but the others don't really make sense. Saber is an honorable knight and shit, so killing Waver is out. Killing Rider is also kinda out, she did form alliances and truces with other servants, though technically that was in the future.

Kariya likely wouldn't have touched him either, all he cared was getting the HG to save Sakura, a servantless master means nothing.

There's a Touko in both universes.

Tsukihime and Fate take place in the same universe, as confirmed by Nasu. Since Kara no Kyoukai and Tsukihime can't co-exist, Kara no Kyoukai is an alternate universe. According to Nasu, there can only be one user of the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception per universe.

If a Heroic Spirit in the Throne can read the records of one his copies after it dies on earth and returns to him, and the Throne itself exists out of time, wouldn't this mean that very single Servant knows beforehand the result of their battle in a war?

Technically not true. There can only be one MEoDP FROM a given universe, but if Second Magic bullshit happens more than one can end up in the same universe.

See Actress Again. Though I think that was Gaia or Alaya bullshit rather than Zelretch bullshit.
>>
>>135073155
That's an anomaly. Dimensional travel is obviously an exemption from the rule.

>>135082574
UBW threads were only as bad as they were because of Zero, for a couple of different reasons.

First, we had the secondaries who watched Zero but didn't follow through in any way between series. They came in expecting more Zero, and were disappointed in the lack of that Urobuchi edge, and proceeded to shitpost about it.

Second, related to the fist, were the people who missed the Zero boat, but still heard about it and watched UBW. Or the people who'd heard about the 2006 series, or the VNs, or Kaleid Liner, or whatever else. They were largely similar to the first group, though. They shitposted because the series didn't meet their expectations.

Third was the seasonal shitposters. Zero was good, and it was popular, so the sequel was of course a prime target for shitposting. If Zero didn't take off like it did, seasonal shitposting would have still happened because of TM's eternal presence on /a/, but it wouldn't have been as bad.

Last were the purists, the actual TMfags that hated the secondaries Zero brought so much it either drove them to shitpost back at the secondaries, or made them blind to the bait of the shitposters.

Zero was the cause of the infection. UBW just showed the symptoms had worsened.

See the problem here? You can't just go around, claming that some concepts are "evil" or "good", that's retarded.

It's just GO people plus Shirou's VA. If it's not a Grand Order anime, I hope it's at least not some fluff, like pure announcements for the game, or some manga that'll never be scanned and translated.

It doesn't. Just look at Archer vs. Caster round one.

>>135085391
From my perspective after the Fillersviel scene and sorrows of young IIlya, it was episode 15 I think there was nothing very interesting exept for maybe Archer vs Shirou. Final Arc was too long and Gilgamesh in compare to Kirei or Zouken is a shitty villain (I mean i know that it had to be that way but still it was as bad an in VN)
>>
>>135085647
>implying Kirei is a good villain
>>
>>135085647
The Ilya scene in episode 15 served a purpose. You, the person reading and watching, are supposed to care about Ilya at this point in the narrative. In the VN, you've read Fate and by the time that's done, she's happily living with Shirou, so in UBW, it should shock you that this person you've come to care about is dead.

With UBW, they didn't directly have Fate to tie into things, and while it's true there's the 2006 series and the VN that they could have just told you to look at, there was still Zero, which Ufotable had made, and Ilya was a character there, so what they did was bridge some things regarding her and the events from that story into UBW. It was a bit patchwork, but I see the intent.

And really, Archer is the villain of UBW. He's the biggest enemy Shirou has to overcome. His own future and the worry of his doubts about his ideal.

What Gilgamesh functions is is as a final obstacle for Shirou to overcome and a capping off of the themes of UBW.

Shirou, after dealing with Archer, is resolute in following his path of becoming a hero, and while that's all well and good, so far it's mostly just been talk. He needs to prove himself, and so the story presents Gilgamesh.

Gilgamesh is the /King/ of Heroes, and has a plan that would essentially destroy the world. He's the toughest guy shown in the narrative thus far, and Shirou is placed with having to overcome him.

Thematically Gil works great, because all throughout the story there's the theme of imitation. Shirou is an imitation hero with an imitation ideal whose own powers are to imitation. Gil is the original hero who owns all the original weapons, and has a plan that starkly goes against Shirou.

To prove himself, to prove he can be a hero, and to prove that an imitation can surpass an original, Shirou needs to defeat.

Gil really works as a neat little bow tying up everything in the story.

>>135085647
Caster and Gilgamesh were laughably bad antagonists.
>>
>>135085843
>Seriously replying to obvious bait
>>
>>135085896
I like the Caster arc. It removes Shirou's training wheels and forces him to learn to be capable on his own. I also like that it doesn't end back at status quo, with Saber as his servant.

It also helps that, in terms of things overall, Caster certainly isn't one of the least developed servants, especially if you take things like HA into account.
>>
>>135085843
the bullshit flashback served more purpose than Caster's FIller master, but ITs full of needless tryhard edge and a pacing killer interruption. no explanation on why Illya in winter forest is even happening. Ufo missed the point.
>>
>>135085896
The UBW VN fleshed out Caster's character as such to make her into a tragic and sympathetic character in spite of the evils she pulled upon Shiro, Rin and the Fuyuki populace. The anime adaptation here removed most mentions of her past while alive and had some rather noticeable inconsistencies in the depiction of her character due to a combination of altered content or removed key scenes.

Gilgamesh is a complex villain with believable motives as well as the perfect cornerstone for the route, how is he bad?
>>
>>135085988
Caster's master is straight up canon now, he's shown up in Case Files, so in terms of overall stuff, that's not filler.

And I guess they didn't explain why she was specifically outside, but I don't think that's super important, since they already went over that the Einzberns were putting her through some real shit.

Servants can only be destroyed by magic or other servants, who are basically spirits made of magic.

Fate/Complete Material III: World Material

>Spiritual Body and Material Body

>“Spiritual Body” is a word that describes an existence with spiritual properties. In other words, a shape is constructed without relying on components with physical properties. On the other hand, “Material Body” means something that is identical in structure as our flesh bodies. A Material Body, just like us, cannot walk through walls, and will hurt and become wounded when beaten with an iron baton. However, a Spirit Body is capable of completely disregarding such physical interference. Attacking a Spiritual Body with a baton or sword (unless they are magical items) will only hit empty space.
>When Servants materialise, they acquire Material Bodies in this world. They can also switch to Spiritual Bodies through their will. Spiritual Bodies have the advantages such as low mana consumption, and difficult to be detected by enemies. One of the properties of a Spiritual Body is that it is unaffected by physical interference, but conversely it is difficult for a Spiritual Body to affect a Material Body. As a result, Servants Materialise when engaging in combat.

Significant parts:
>A Material Body, just like us, cannot walk through walls, and will hurt and become wounded when beaten with an iron baton.
>When Servants materialise, they acquire Material Bodies in this world.


Magic helps a lot because actually damaging a servant is ridiculous by typical standards, they can shrug off tank shells or missile strikes with relative ease. Their bodies are freaky hard to damage. The magic given to Kuzuki was strengthening, which amplified his ability to devastating levels.
>>

>>135086806
>Notice how Kuzuki beat Saber to a pulp when he was reinforced by Caster's magic but his punches couldn't damage Archer when he fought him after Caster died.

Notice how Kuzuki was being powered by Caster's magic, and without it, he was small time compared to a servant?

I mean that doesn't make any sense, remember when Rin just straight up sucker punched Caster with her karate?
>>
Why dont servants fight each other to see who can cum first?
>>

Rin was boosted by her own magic. It's not as powerful as Caster's, but at the same time Caster's defenses are weaker than Saber's.

>>135086859
We've never seen a purely physical feat damage or destroy a servant. Regardless of what could happen in theory, in practice, servants need to be killed by magic-related attacks. And the spiritual core can ONLY be damaged by magic anyways.

>>135087089
>We've never seen a purely physical feat damage or destroy a servant.
Because it's stupidly difficult to manage.
>Regardless of what could happen in theory, in practice, servants need to be killed by magic-related attacks
The very retarded original point of this was Saitama, who's strength is essentially "arbitrary value". Established practice is irrelevant.
>And the spiritual core can ONLY be damaged by magic anyways.
The spiritual core will become unable to retain magical energy if the brain or heart are damaged, also from Complete Material III. It does not say by what manner.
Attacks from magical sources will drain magical energy from the spirit even if they do not hit the core, but attacks to the heart or brain impact the core directly.

And we don't have feats or even calcs on servant's pure physical resistance.
We only know that Nasu said no modern weapon can do a thing to them.
>>
>>135087272
The most durable thing below god level in Type-Moon is Nrvnqsr Chaos's soil of genesis, which only requires firepower equivalent to a continent to destroy. That is a level of output that Arcueid is hard-pressed to match at 30% power, thus, it is higher than what a servant would be capable of resisting.
Unless you're saying soil of genesis could be broken by a servant but not 30% Arcueid (who is 5x servant level) somehow.

Saitama's serious punch is clearly a continent-level attack.
>>
>>135060888
I think swordspam is a cool power. So good on Fate I guess.
>>
>>135087464
It could probably be beaten by Ea or Excalibur.

Gae Bolg might be able to take Nrvnqsr out.
>>
>>135087536
Ea would wreck Nrvnqsr because of its anti-Reality Marble properties. Excalibur would probably have a tough time.
>>
>>135087536
Ea definitely. Excalibur no way.
>>
>>135087536
Enuma Elish and Excalibur are more than enough to obliterate servants on their own.
Without utterly formidable defensive measures like Pegasus or Gordius Wheel, no servant will survive, even 12 life Heracles or 10% damage Karna.
>>
>>135087464
Nothing of what you brought up is about conventional physical resistance.
A fight between Dead Apostles/True Ancestors/Servants is still a fight of magical beings.
>>
>>135087567
It should be fine. Soil of Genesis is tough, but it's not as if Nrvnqsr himself is invincible. Arcueid was able to destroy a number of Nrvnqsr's bodies with pure force. Considering how huge and powerful Excalibur is, being the second-most powerful direct damage Noble Phantasm in the series so far, it should be able to wipe out all of Nrvnqsr's bodies in one blow.

After all, at full power, it can even take out all of Berserker's stock of lives.

>>135087593
You're underestimating Excalibur. In terms of sheer powerful, it's the second-most powerful of all Noble Phantasms, and its AOE is pretty huge, as shown in Fate/hollow ataraxia.
>>
>>135087648
Still not enough to destroy a continent.
You're overestimating it.
>>
>>135087644
There's no need for magic when dealing with Dead Apostles. Destroying Soil of Genesis only requires sheer firepower, not magic.
Even a completely ordinary shotgun can harm vampires, though their curse of regeneration will undo the damage in short order.
So, again, you're saying a servant is more durable than a continent, and Arcueid who is 5x stronger than a servant would be hard pressed to damage a servant?
>>

I think it might be third or fourth. Proto Arthur's Excalibur is EX rank compared to Arturia's A++, and Proto Gil's big attack whose name I forget might be stronger as well.
>>
>>135087593
>Excalibur no way
Yes way. A degraded Excalibur traced by Shirou destroyed the Great Holy Grail. Chaos is not on that level.

You seem to have mistaken something about the existence of Chaos.
Soil of Genesis is Nrvnqsr, it is 500 Nrvnqsr arrayed in a binding cage.
You can't destroy him and not destroy it. At best, you can make him collapse the array and bring the 500 souls back into mobile form.

Your logic is full of holes.
Arc could rape a servant using her Marble Phantasm but still have a hard time by only using her claws. No one said HOW Arc could defeat servants.
>>
>>135087700
We have no idea what makes Prototype Saber's Excalibur EX rank, don't assume it's just higher output.
>>
>>135087724
I think he's mixing up Soil of Genesis the cage with Chaos the goopy black shit that Nrvnqsr is made of.
>>
>>135087752
Your logic is the questionable one saying servants are more durable than continents.
Arcueid would not have a hard time fighting a servant in any manner. Her statistics are far, far superior. In terms of physical output, she is their greater by far.

You are making the extremely bizarre assumption that servants require inordinately MORE damage from nonmagical attacks, but that is not the case. They require inordinate damage from any source, and magical effects are just a really goddamn good source of damage.
>>
>>135087724
Nrvnqsr isn't invincible. In fact, he needs to consume large quantities of flesh in order to keep himself going. Even after devouring an entire hotel full of people, he was still hungry the next night.

Furthermore, you can't really quantify Excalibur's power in that manner. Excalibur can't destroy entire continents due to its range, not its power. We don't know the full limits of Excalibur's attack power. What we do know, however, is that in terms of power, it transcends even Karna's Anti-Country Noble Phantasm Brahmastra Kundala.

Before you say "but she's gotta magic there since she's a servant too", no. She's just her ordinary elemental self. She wasn't summoned by the Moon Cell, she was dragged to the moon by Gatou.

No, she is a Servant. She wasn't summoned, but she was forced to adhere to the rules of the Grail War and was forced into a Servant mold. And that made her WAY weaker than normal.
>>
>>135087922
No, you're making assumptions. She wasn't weakened by the servant model, but by her master's image of her which demoted her from Planet to God. It locked away her incredibly broken skills and diminished her statistics. Being a servant had nothing to do with it.
In her "real" servant class of Funny Vamp, she'd have all her ridiculous stats.
But she's not a servant to begin with. She's an elemental along for the ride. The Moon Cell just responded "what the fuck is that? whatever, I guess it's your servant".
>>
>>135087922
To be fair, the reason she was weaker was because A) She was a Berserker who couldn't even receive Mad Enhancement and 2) her Master was so inept that he actually made her further weaker still.

Don't blame the Servant system for her weakness in that game. It was all that idiot zealot's fault.

Also, additionally, you can't really compare the Moon Cell's Servant system to the Fuyuki Grail's version. Some Servants are rendered stronger or weaker due to how the Moon Cell works. Divine Spirits can actually become even stronger than Arcueid in this setting, even though that wouldn't be possible on Earth.

That has nothing to do with anything and is a transparent deflection tactic. You can explicitly make your servants stronger than they ever were in life (they literally SAY so after Alteration of the Soul), and Arcueid can still fuck them up.
