Shinji is finding new ways to be an asshole

it's a shame. if Rin and Shirou put everything they know together they could figure out it's Shinji, but i do get why they don't. it'd take too long and there's reason to not believe it's him

even Rin is wanting Shirou to go home immediately. she knows him well already

oh good. Shinji is incapable of being subtle. i can't believe he's blaming Rider and saying she's going off on her own attacking students.

i will say this, Shinji's VA is good at playing to the lines

say no Shirou. i don't like this one bit:

Shirou really doesn't want Fuji to cook lol:

I'll stop Fuji-Nee's wrongdoing before the sun sets

I'll go see how Sakura's doing before the sun sets

I'll go tell Saber that I'm home before teh sun sets

ha! Sakura knows Shirou absolutly ran there to check on her. good, she deserves good things

oh? Sakura's grandfather is alive? he should still be a magi if magic ran out in their dad

them talking at the same time was cute

even Saber can't eat Fuji's cooking lol. and she's british

i can see why Shirou always cooked. Saber was so pissed she put on her armor for training. i don't think she ever did that last route

ah shoot. Caster enthralled Shirou to bring himself to the temple. i wonder what caused her to do it this time around. maybe because Rin had more luck tracking her actions and they just allied together?

she hasn't killed her master yet

oh good a Saber interlude. i thought i actually chose wrong when i didn't stop Fuji from cooking

hiiii Assassin

back to Shirou and he's getting saved by Archer! Caster does not have good luck with the archers

YES! i was right about Caster being Assassin's master. i didn't even know that from the anime

i love how Assassin is a fictional hero, implying the other heroes really existed at some point and not just Saber. especially funny with Heracles because one tidbit i know about the spinoffs is that the greek gods are giant space stations or something. his mom had interesting taste

got to appreciate Archer taking any chance he has to insult Shirou. which, fair considering Shirou stuck around for the fight. i think it's the first time Archer looked pissed off

woah. Archer had a fancy voice effect for his Noble Phantasm

i was going to make fun of Archer because his shout earlier warned Caster about his swords approaching, but turns out he wasn't trying to kill her after he missed the first attack

lmao Caster compared Shirou and Archer to each other and they both got insulted

he has to be planning something. he just said he was interested in stopping problems early on so i can't see this as him telling the truth here:

oh. it's so that Caster defeats Berserker. he's going for the utilitarian option

i didn't expect Archer to try and kill Shirou. love how he's having the same kind of moment Rin did when Saber nearly killed her but it's focused on Archer's swords

Assassin is still lots of fun. seems he figured out Saber's identity

Valkyrie/Canary

Piggot/Narwhal

Carol/Natalie

Citrine/Bluestocking

Charlotte/Ratcatcher

String Theory/Miss Militia

Switch Hitter/Solarstare

morning choice:

I'll go see how Saber's doing

I'll go and help Sakura

I'll go and wake Fugi-Nee up

Shirou made sure Sakura was alright with Saber staying again. not as well as he did last time, but i assume that's to save from repeating scenes completely

rip Fugi is commenting on Sakura's weight. come on. they're both in archery they need to put on muscle. oh, Shirou is also an idiot of a different caliber

apparently Caster didn't actually kill any of the fifty men, which does explain the comment about leaving them impotent

what did Shinji do with Ayako :( they're both missing. it must be connected to Rin being so on edge in the morning. i wonder if she rejected Shinji so he went after her friend instead

i now know why Shirou doesn't ever get Saber when he wants to investigate something, but she's going to be so annoyed when he comes back inevitably injured

Shinji's worst crime: ruining Ayako's perfect attendance record

oh. Rin being on edge was knowing Shirou was alone and it'd be the perfect opportunity to kill him

going to pick the time honored tradition of running to the teachers. they won't help (which is part of that tradition), but mage societal conventions will prevent Rin from killing me:

Jump to the stairs

Jump back to the hallway

uh oh. Rin expected that and instantly got the better of Shirou

did Rin erase everyone's memories of Saber???

more than that, she erased herself too. and Issei thinks Shirou is making a joke about her not being human lol

well. at least Shirou didn't die. that's better than any of the other bad endings

going back to 2. Jump back to the hallway and see about making an alliance with Rin while she tries to take down Shirou

i am impressed Shirou knows the curse Rin is using. i should probably be more concerned about having Rin as an enemy, but i am extra endeared to a girl that can use literal finger guns

Shirou my beautiful idiot calling her fat might make her actually try to kill you

did she use one of her million dollar gems lmao

love how Rin keeps trying to get him to give up until he says this. she gets it:

alright, a pretty obvious choice. when fighting someone like Rin, play into their pride:

Can I hand her my Command Spell

Can I admit defeat against Tohsaka

d'awww, they both stop fighting when they hear someone in trouble

if teaming up to help the girl that was attacked didn't ease tensions between them, Shirou blocking Rider's attack will

Shinji might have had a chance to form that alliance with Shirou if he didn't give himself away by attacking innocent students and aiming to kill Rin off the bat

i hope Saber is going to be pissed with Shirou for not calling her

Shirou and Rider are great:

Shirou wishing he had Archer's weapons lol

how did Shirou insult the heroic spirit into torturing him into death. it probably opened up these options instead of an instant death, but still:

Use the Command Spell

Fight using my remaining left arm

I can pull out this "nail" in my right arm

i wouldn't say *brave*, it's just what i think Shirou would do:

oh Shirou. you would have faith in Shinji. maybe this route he can be become a less shitty person

Excalibur's sheath is working overtime

Shinji has already done one good thing! he's the reason Rin and Shirou are allies now :)

ooo, is Rin jealous of the freedom of choice Kiritsugu gave Shirou? not being bound by a family legacy

;_; Rin…:

she's sooo upset that Shirou is too likable to take Saber from him

YES! Shirou and Archer hating each other on sight again

i love the faith Archer has in Rin and how he turns it into an opportunity to insult Shirou

Archer casually mentioning that the grail is evil. he is not happy about being a heroic spirit

lmao, immediately going from Sakura trying to downplay Saber's anger to Fuji telling Shirou that Saber is pissed and *will* beat his head with a practice sword

oh good. Ayako is alive. Rider must have drained her, either partially or completely and Rin healed her

Saber is asking if our alliance with Rin will end after stopping Shinji:

I can't say for sure

I guess that's how it'll be
