Real answer is a mix of Servant's ability to become incorporeal/spirits/whatever, the Archer class' Independent Action ability, and Emiya just being fucking Emiya. And yes, it is a rather massive cheat. + Show Spoiler + His spirit cores (Head and heart) which is what you have to destroy to kill a servant weren't pierced and he went spirit-form. Servants don't rely on their organs and bodily functions like a human would That + independent action. | ||

I cba'd about spoilers but if we're going to implement spoiler rules, would be nice to have an official statue of limitation in regards to spoiler talk that everyone can abide with. I do care. But it really depends. There are a lot of minor spoilers that aren't really spoilers to me because they don't ruin the experience. However, I don't think major spoilers are ok even for shows that are centuries old. Some people just didn't live that long to have watched all the shit already. I think I had a lot of luck in this thread because the "major" spoiler discussion mostly revolve around shows I don't plan to watch, such as DxD for example (althoguh, from what I heared, spoilering plot points in DxD wouldn't cut into the enjoyment anyways...).

But basing something on common sense is also problematic because everyone defines it differently. It's the same problem in jurisdiction and the reason why verdicts based on common sense are different in the US than they would be in germany for example.

Funy thing I realised: MAL will probably show a lot higher score for s2 than s1. Not because s2 is necessarily better but because most of the people that didn't like it one bit won't watch s2 (me included). | ||

+ Show Spoiler + finally got back to what its good for. GAUNA FIGHTING. I think the choreography was pretty decent so this makes up a bit for the shit it was pulling earlier. Also, this is where all its budget went Ubw + Show Spoiler + Its not asspull, archer used independent action which allowed him to live | ||

+ Show Spoiler + that makes no sense, it is literally archer's ability on his status screen in the VN You knew it from the beginning and the anime already mentioned it like 5 episodes back | ||

+ Show Spoiler + How is it an asspull? Hell independent action is why Gil so easily functions without a master, because he has A+ rank independent action. Is it also an asspull that lancer didn't die right away after stabbing himself even though he has battle continuation, an ability that lets you fight even with mortal wounds? These are all abilities the servants have, the archer class has independent action. That's literally one of the things that makes him an Archer. Just like how saber being resistant to magic is part of her being a saber. + Show Spoiler + ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/eAmJnOT.jpg) Gil for comparison: + Show Spoiler + ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/RNOMb5I.jpg) If it's good or bad writing is a completely different matter, but it is not at all an asspull. Archer's spirit core wasn't pierced and he went into spirit form to save mana and lingered around with independent action | ||

Does the anime even explain those abilities? It's the first time I hear about Lancer's battle continuation ability. And yeah, I would call it an asspull as long as it's only mentioned after the situation and nothing lead up to it. As for archer's ability: If it was mentioned 5 episodes ago it's not an asspull but merely plot convinience. I put the "/'s" because I wasn't sure but I was sure it was either of those three. Seems like I was wrong with my last post though. Still, I don't think the show does a good job at all to show what servants or magicians are able to do and why they can do it.

OPs/EDs are only worth it for the music and getting pumped up by it anyways. | ||

+ Show Spoiler + You might want to read up on how the hero lancer is based upon died before calling him having battle continuation an asspull  In general battle continuation represents his life very well.Their abilities are either based on their class (like independent action) or their legend, and we've been informed of who Lancer is for quite some time already. | ||

The show doesn't explain it because there is no need for a time-limited show to explain it when it is not necessary to know to enjoy the show. Also, the story has been out for a while now. They kind of expect you to already have played the game | ||

@IceHism: Funnily enough it is necessary for me to enjoy the show. Also, even though it's an adaption it shouldn't presume everyone to know the source. I'm basing my judgement on how the show handles the subject on it's own. If it couldn't do that then it fails to be a proper adaption, that's all. I also doubt that they expect everyone to have played the game beforehand, any sources? | ||

It's the same with + Show Spoiler + why lancer got pissed at archer for him calling rin a dog, there's a very specific reason tied to his legend, his comment of dying due to unreasonable orders/requests is also tied to his legend. I mean the show also technically hasn't explained who Saber is, yet you as the viewer should be fairly capable of figuring that out yourself. The realta nua version of the fate route was also released for free to let people read the first route before watching UBW, which is the second route. | ||

"Independent action" is fine IF he wasnt killed by Gilgamesh. Its a big asspull deal with it guys. | ||

loses to shirou because of arrogance in how Gilgamesh wouldn't ever acknowledge Enkidu as an equal until after being humiliated and having to draw, for the first time, a weapon out of his Gates of babylon and how Shirou is symbolically the 2nd enkidu as shown when Gilgamesh didn't want to acknowledge him. When he finally pulled Ea out as he saw he was losing, he hesitated before actually using it and lost there The story has been out for 11 years. Realta Nua, a newer version, was even released a bit more recently like maybe 7-8 years ago. They are certainly not releasing this to advertise a game. Its more likely that they expect the audience to either already know the game or allow VN players to explain the rest of the little things. They only need to put in the main events and the cool fights and character interactions to give the core experience of the story. Some chuu2 details being left out is fine. @skela + Show Spoiler + he wasn't killed by Gilgamesh, as Unleashing said, his spirit core was never pierced and he just went into spirit mode to linger around | ||

Viewers were made to believe he died, but because of some magic bs like "his spirit core didn't get pierced" he can go into spirit mode to hang around and show up whenever plot deemed convenient. Your screen cap of Archer's Independent Action only says he can survive without mana supply from the master. Doesn't say anywhere about not dying because spirit core wasn't destroyed. Though it does say so in the FS/N wiki, but just feels after the fact. | ||

It's like a complete retelling. It would be a shame if Kyoani doesn't make the yuri happen at this point. KyoAni is kind of famous for not giving a shit about the source and just doing whatever the fuck they want to. Credit where credit is due though, theirs are the only adaptations that have the chance to end up better than the source because of that. | ||
