Gonna wait for about 2 or more episodes before I continue.

I like watching in chunks rather than wait another week.

Also, the scripts for the first season's Drama CD, basically just Irisviel and Kiritsugu's early relationship, it gives some context to the new ED.

When you say you're supposed to know what happens next, are you talking about what that guy on MAL was saying?

"Given the preview and the name of the next episode though, even those who have only seen/read Fate/Stay Night should know what's going to happen next."

Mana transferring? lol

The episode is called the Eighth Contract.

Listen to Rin and Gil's lines in teh preview.

Is it becoming clearer now?

And no there's no mana transferring of that kind in F/Z.

As a military buff, I was excited when Berserker took over the plane and hadn't killed the very important AF pilot within, but it turns out he was just cannon fodder as Lancer destroys the plane and Berserker jumps off. The pilot never to be heard from again. Disappointingly anti-climactic.

The pilot was killed by the ridiculous G-forces long before Lancer destroyed the Jet.

Light Novel wrote:Just as they were about to hit, the black F15 writhed its ailerons and flaps like a living creature, escaping the blade edges of Archer's Noble Phantasms with aerodynamically impossible abruptness. With a second, then a third barrel roll, the barrage of Noble Phantasms scattered away into the sky. The intense G's of the first spin was enough to instantly kill Captain Ōgi in the cockpit, rupturing his internal organs; but of course, this was just a trifle for Berserker.

by Rex Sun Apr 22, 2012 1:15 pm

How did that even happ---nevermind it's magic.

by Revy Sun Apr 22, 2012 1:20 pm

What, g-forces cant kill people?

by Rex Sun Apr 22, 2012 1:25 pm

No, how did it reach unreachable g-forces? "aerodynamically impossible abruptness" That whole paragraph is flawed and sounds like it was written by a thirteen year old. Anime is a good visual aid, because on paper it just sounds funny.

It said that it did so with aerodynamically impossible abruptness, not that it reached unreachable g-forces, it doesn't take unreachable g-forces to kill someone.

But when Berserker took over the Jet he enhanced its capabilities and made it do stuff it wouldn't normally be able to do, like all that thrust vectoring and shit, and VTOL.

Just like earlier in the series when he grabbed a light pole and made it capable of trading blows with Excalibur (until lancer's magic cancelling spear cut through it like hot butter).

by Rex Sun Apr 22, 2012 1:34 pm

EDIT - I was wondering why an F-15 had VTOL.

by TopgunUK Sun Apr 22, 2012 1:40 pm

Rex wrote:Yeah WTF why did it have VTOL anyway?

For the reasons I just explained, Berserker turned it into a Noble Phantasm, he didn't just take it over, he transformed it.

A regular F15J wouldn't even be able to hurt Servants, it's Berserker's enhancement that made the weapons harmful to Gil and Saber.

by Rex Sun Apr 22, 2012 1:44 pm

You're telling me that on normal terms, those high caliber rounds Saber was running away from could not harm her? Holy shit.

by TopgunUK Sun Apr 22, 2012 2:01 pm

Yep.

As soon as it dodged all the attacks, the F15 forcibly performed an Immelmann Turn and aimed its nose towards Archer, the pylons under its wings sputtering the flames of rocket motors. Two Sparrow missiles attacked Archer's Vimana with vengeance.

Although ordinary weapons would be useless in a battle of Servants, the weapons that Berserker corroded were of a different caliber. Carrying the prana of hatred, every single shot of the twenty-six-pound explosives had an annihilating might.

Simple ammunition is no threat to Servants, no matter how big its caliber is.

This is especially so with Saber, whose physical abilities were so supreme. Not only can she easily dodge them, but she can even deflect the projectiles back with her sword if she wanted to.

However – no matter how extraordinary the Heroic Spirit’s abilities may be, she is still helpless in front of the firing speed of 1200 rounds per second of the M61 automatic rifle that the General Electric company took pride in.

Moreover, this weapon has been attached with the properties of a Noble Phantasm by Berserker’s hand. Getting hit by one round is enough
to kill.

by Rex Sun Apr 22, 2012 3:00 pm

How do the readers of Fate/Zero know what the hell an Immelman turn is? This is really what the Light Novel reads like?

by TopgunUK Sun Apr 22, 2012 3:11 pm

It's enough for the reader to know that it's a turn.

And holy shit stop getting so worked up about what it reads like, it's an unofficial fan translation.

That must be it then, because I can't imagine a real novel sounding so........weabooish?
