I thought the same as well: On October 12 2014 06:33 BigFan wrote: Gotta agree with you guys, Hime-sama is LH feels different. Also, her art is a bit off (something wrong with her eye colors and placement or something lol). Overall though, episode did have the LH touch from the first season. + Show Spoiler + Can't wait to see them fight the beast next episode and the backstab by Demios! | ||

Yea, Saber shines a LOT more combat wise in UBW, which is fucking awesome to watch. I can't wait until the scene + Show Spoiler + Where Rin becomes Saber's master, fuck that scene was cool in the LN with the music and the graphic of her power with a proper master feeding her mana. | ||

+ Show Spoiler + I also enjoy the hints they are giving us about how Saber knows most of the people or their parents! TY Ufotable ^^ Since I've never read the LN (only FSN), were these hints present in the LN? Also, I'm wondering if anything will be said about Illya's mom! SAO #16 : It's a trap! Or not | ||

So the hints are there throughout, gradually leading to various revelations that are sometimes tied to the events from F/Z. On October 26 2014 11:58 BigFan wrote: Great UBW episode. Love the fight scenes! All these servants are so dang impressive that it's hard to root for just one of them lol. Can't wait to see what's going to happen next :D Yea it gets funner as more abilities are shown and you start to learn who is which hero. Speaking of the heros. + Show Spoiler + On greater reflection, Gilgamesh is massively overrated. He seems to be powerful simply because he collected a lot of toys while he was alive, like a Rich kid with a trust fund. He doesn't show ANY impressive individual combat abilities like most of the other heros. He simply just spams Noble Phantasms until the other side is dead, which is why he always loses. | ||

And if you really want spoilers about if they say or mention anything about Irisviel: + Show Spoiler + She's never mentioned or brought up even once, since her character didn't exist when FSN was written. | ||

If you look at the story of Gilgamesh its very much the opposite of a trust fund rich kid gathering "toys". | ||

They never show him having any actual skills of his own besides having the key to his vault of noble phantasms. I an speaking directly to his personal ability, he doesn't show much combat skills at all. Lets not forget that this is a guy who lost to Shirou. He also isn't even all powerful with all his many artifacts. Saber straight up beat him once she actually had access to her full equipment, overwhelming him and his super OP sword. You can't deny his strength but what I am questioning is the depiction of his strength, which comes off as him heavily depending on the fact that he owns endless artifacts rather then showing him using the skills that he used to gain them in life. | ||

They are directly intertwined. Additionally, the only reason Gilgamesh ever loses isn't because of lack of ability or lack of power, its because of his arrogance. | ||

His loss to Saber in Fate where she uses Avalon to block his attack then kills him with Excalibur seemed like a legit loss without placing the because he was cocky asterisk on it. | ||

He didn't think his attack was blockable, which created an opening Saber exploited. Its a completely legit win, but its also something that wouldn't have happened if emotions and personalities were non-factors. A Noble Phatasm's true abilities are brought up by calling on their names and using a lot of magical energy, so its not like Avalon can permanently block everything at all times indefinitely, since Servants don't have infinite magical energy. I feel like if I describe what Gilgamesh could do in a battle, if he felt like it, would make me like Rei in the One Piece thread, talking about Enel. | ||
