Sakura was a master but she gave her command seals and Rider to Shinji because she didn't want to participate., Afaik the Matou family no longer has any heirs that have a strong magic affinity, also one of the reasons why the Matou family was so desperate for Sakura. In order to see the Sakura plot being resolved you will have to read FSN: Heavens feel route(sakura's route) or wait till Ufotable cranks out its movies(which will most likely be cramped)

The spoiler is not really a spoiler, it was kinda said in the archer caster conversation if i rmbr correctly, though i was not 100% sure there was another assassin untill now ofc.

They did toy with him but rider did retreat when rin came, though now i think about it that might just been shinji still wanting to be friends with rin/not wanting to hurt her. So everything's normal i guess, ty.
I do realize point 2, and in general servants are a bit weaker here right? No double mana source or gilgamesh. Though mb there will be some op ones to come yet for me to see .

The sword/scabbard/wh in black background that kept coming up in fate stay night (non ubw) kinda spoiled me why shirou probably survives ^^.

I'm just over half-way though Fate/HA and while I'm enjoying it, it seems to be mainly fan service (mostly in the form of casual interactions between characters that didn't get enough screen time originally). It's not bad, it's just 90% of the scenes seem to be irrelevant to the plot.

Though I have to say I almost always dread interaction with Sakura now, since the vast majority of her conversations are banal and related to making lunch and dinner...

Also find the time travel thing a bit... inconsistent I guess? I mean, things happen, but then sometimes people remember what happened, and other times they don't. We take out Archer, then he's no longer guarding the area, but so far his reasoning as to why he stopped is unexplained, since he should have just reverted back to his normal state on the first day where he wanted to guard the area (or if he remembered, he should want revenge). I guess I could nitpick a bit more by saying I find it odd how the same character can be in multiple different places at the same time of day. Maybe the reasons will be explained later I guess.

Oh well, still a fun ride for the most part.

Or related to them wanting to fuck like rabbits. Sasuga Sakura, most everything related to her involves cooking or sex. Just like in FSN.

so they had 4 trials and all of them were supposed to show that one of them can't do one thing but they get through with friendship and the ones being good carrying the noobs, correct?
First one, Lina couldn't sing.
Second one, Earth couldn't dance.
Third one, Water couldn't type.
But what was the fourth one and why did they show Water instead of Wind?
Because it's not socially acceptable to make fun of people's intelligence and you can't show that on TV. You wouldn't just bully a kid with downs, would you? Clearly Wind's lacking in that regard and probably didn't understand the task at hand but because they couldn't show that, they ended up showing Water to push that "friendship" theme real hard.

Now here's the thing. If Water pressed correctly because friendship and Wind is mentally challenged resulting in pressing the wrong button that means that someone else pressed the wrong button as well to make up for it.
I'm just going to assume that Water pressed Water and Lina pressed Lina at this point because we saw Water pressing Water and the second one because #Friendship.
That leaves us with Wind pressing Earth (had she pressed Lina or Water one of them would have died), not out of ill intentions but just because she's not the smartest one around.
That leaves us with the conclusion that Earth is a backstabbing bitch that pressed Wind to save her own ass, only to realize that Wind screwed up resulting in happy end.

None of the other 3 realizes that because Wind doesn't know she didn't understand the task. Water and Lina pressed the right buttons and think everyone did because noone died and no drama à la "OMG SOME OF YOU BITCHES PRESSED MY BUTTON INSTEAD OF HER OWN" afterwards. Only Earth knows that she tried to murder Wind

I forget what exactly started Sakura on the whole "becoming the dark thing that eats everything"? I forgot what the trigger was (since she didn't go evil in the other routes). I remember there was some talk with Zouken after he personally witnessed how bad Shinji is but didn't he give the impression that he was fine with Sakura not doing anything at first? I am pretty sure it was Sakura/black thing that took out Assassin and that is how Zouken was able to summon True Assassin. I can't remember that middling part or what exactly was "dark Sakura" because at the end she was like taken over by the grail but before that? Bah shouldn't have breezed through the route so fast
