I have no idea why THIS act of lethal violence, rather than all the many, many others that the characters have performed over the show so far, is being shot like Michael Meyers murdering a suspiciously mature-looking cheerleader.

For the time being, I'll just reiterate what I said before about Fate/Zero epitomizing both the best and the worst aspects of Gen Urobuchi's writing.

Full circle.

As much as they both enjoyed that post-battle spitroasting earlier this evening, Arturia has orders. And, really, this was going to have to happen sooner or later. As she summons her armor, she explains that the other Servants are either banished, exhausted, or off being salty right now, so this would be a perfect time for Arturia and Diarmuid to finally finish that duel they started all the way back in early season one. Diarmuid smiles, says that it's been fun, but he agrees. Not that either of them really have much of a choice.

It's one of the lesser known Arthurian legends; in some versions of the Second Siege of Camelot story Arthur could turn Excalibur into a lightsaber, but only as long as he kept both hands on the hilt. Nice bit of mythological accuracy here!

Arturia can use her super attack now. Yay.

Resuming this absolutely deranged episode of Fate/Zero.

This fight scene is sooooooo stupid oh my god
