Here's a fun summary of episode 15.

Shirou decides to carry Saber like a Prince carrying a King....okay, that's probably a wrong analogy. Anyway, he decides to carry Saber so they can run away from Berserker faster. But Shirou ends up feeling tired so they decide to shack up in an abandoned house and have some fun threesome together. Shirou, however, is not used to threesome and he starts hallucinating about getting his arm chewed off by an ugly looking CGI dragon and then meeting Saber inside the creature's stomach. Yes, I think that's more or less what sex feels like. The next morning, Saber and Shirou wake up blushing as if this is their first time being eaten by a dragon.


Moving along, they got caught up by Berserker and Illya so they decide to fight him off. Shirou tries to shoot Berserker with puny arrow. Berserker wants to smash puny human but Illya tells him to get the girls first before Shirou. Berserker, a gentleman as always, agrees that girls should come first. When Saber is in a tight spot, however, Rin jumps forward to throw some exploding jewellery which freezes Berserker's right arm. Unfortunately for her, Berserker's left arm wants to re-enact King Kong with Rin. Rin, not wanting to be outdone, uses more exploding jewellery on Berserker's head. Berserker momentarily stops moving. But Illya explains that Berserker has 12 x life or rather, 7 more left now. With this in mind, Illya orders Berserker to squeeze Rin to puree.

Awesome.

*nods*

[Dr Strum]

Rin's not out for the count yet.

And I know this is late, but Archer's entire Noble Phantasm gives our Engrish of the Day thread a run for its money.

They need to come out with an OST of the anime. I love the battle music.

Rin's German is worse.

[Dr Strum]

Yeah, Rin's German is much worse than Archer's English.
Archer has the grammar for the most part right, just some funny pronounciations in places.

[Dr Strum]

I can't help but feel they're all idiots.

Instead of going after Ilya, the obviously weaker one, they ALL GO AFTER BERSERKER. Archer used what, FIVE Noble Phantasms to murderize Berserker's face, and he could've killed Ilya with ONE. Sure, he would've died anyway but hey, Emiya, Tohsaka and Shirou would've been safe. And then, Tohsaka jumps out and blows up Berserker's head. Oh no, Tohsaka, definitely DON'T use your giant bomb like magic on Ilya's little petite, unregenerative body, cutting any chance of her survival. Real bright.

Attacking Illya is, first of all, against Rin and Emiya's wishes, so Saber and Archer won't do it. Second, a servant doesn't NEED a master. As was stated in the third episode (I had to go back and check to make sure I was right about this), a servant without a master isn't a dead servant. The servant can make a pact with masters that still have command spells remaining, and a master who's lost his/her servant can get another.

Ilya still would've been dead. Berserker can't do anything without Ilya. All brawn and no brain.

Illya is the only one controlling him. Did you notice his class? BERSERKER. He would likely kill anything that came near him if unrestrained.
Besides, with how strong he is, don't you think every single other Master would be out to make a pact with him?
And you assume killing Illya would be so easy. She was able to summon him, she must be one fucking hell of a sorcerer.

[Dr Strum]

I wonder what else she can do...?

besides the paralyzing eyes. Don't forget, she's got that godly mana/magic mark

[Dr Strum]

Mm. I wonder if we'll see a certain scene shown in the new opening in the actual anime.

Otherwise, pretty blah episode after the awesomeness of 14.

Ilya spoiler (not major)

Actually, the fact that she can control him is a testament to her power. Weaker Masters can't control him, especially in the midst of a battle.

[Dr Strum]

I still think a little girl with strong magical properties is easier to fuck than a giant monster man with rippling muscles and a sword so big you'd swear he's overcompensating.

[Dr Strum]

Edit: Don't read my spoilers unless you want spoilers for the entire "Fate" storyline.

Illya's needed in the story for more than just being a Master.

WARNING! Majorly critical plot details for Fate/Stay Night are below! Read at your own risk!















Ilya is needed as a sacrifice to complete the Holy Grail that the whole war is about.
