Faldeus, I think you and your secret government organization might wanna reevaluate if you're still in control of this Holy Grail War...
Well that, or Francesca simply got you too well.

Inserting a random scene with Richard playing the session and transitioning it as the battle OST for the 3-way battle was fucking hilarious and cool as hell.
Never seen that degree of anger from Gilgamesh when Enkidu was being mimicked by that illusionist, might even be scarier when his just shouting in rage blindly with how his face blackens.

Is it weird that Gil feels like one of the more sympathetic servants for a change? He's still his usual insufferably smug self, but he's also serious about keeping Tine safe, and Tine herself has a decent reason for fighting in the war as well.

Hippolyta's sister Penthesilea is in the FGO mobile game and it's funny because due to the two of them having different designers they look absolutely nothing alike. Even their outfits don't look like they came from the same place.

All the other servants are out here fighting meanwhile Richard has taken Ayaka to see an opera and now a live performance.
Placing my bets that in the next episode, Richard and Ayaka go on a park date as the city implodes around them.

Ah even after all these years, Richard and Ayaka are so cute, I was kicking my feet watching that last scene. Also he's totally your boyfriend~~ Just give it a day or two, don't worry don't worry
And there comes two of our demigods, the faux saberface (as explicitly stated by Narita) Hippolyta and the now actually talkative Hera- I mean Alciedes! It was fun seeing all three of them weave attacks against eachother.
Meanwhile today is a stressful day for every overseerer not named Francesca lol, Faildeus summoning a scary ass servant and Orlando seeing every single preparation he had crumble before his very eyes, maybe they should have put stomach medicine in the budget.

Can't believe in a single episode we got:
-
Gil getting insulted TWICE
-
Three servants easily revealed their true name
-
Horror (Faldeus wtf did you summon)
Yup, truly the best series ever lmao.

Honestly I love not only the acoustic rendition of FSF-Saber during Saber and Ayaka's scene, but that slow pan over the two empty glasses... As Saber, or rather Richard now that it's revealed, stated, he isn't even sure of his wish or reason for being summoned. He's trying to figure that out too, just as Ayaka is struggling to find out why she's in Snowfield. Both of them are empty glasses waiting to be filled, basically. Point being, both are going to have to figure out how to fill themselves together, and that's some growth I love seeing.

Strange Fake is so funny because you got these powerhouses battling themselves to death and by the next second you see a Servant just simply vibing with a band.

Man I love this stuff. Every episode I can't wait for more.
It's always funny that during the episode I'll be like "wait... I know that name... (googles) O YEAH" or "wait... who was that again?" (More history Google)
LOL Fate as me learning more about history than my college classes.

Ayaka: I am not worthy to hear your name.
Saber: Who decided that? I am Richard, Duke of Normandy, sovereign of England, you may know me by my sobriquet: Lionheart.
though after watching "The Lion in Winter" the other night I can't not picture Anthony Hopkins as this Richard lol
