<-Today's person who wants to stab you to death is... LANCER


Previous episode

Alright, I watched this about a week ago, but I got distracted by making the weekend into

THE WEEKEND OF HARUHI

And forgot to finish writing up in focus sections for Fate Stay Night.

This episode starts with another bit of exposition about the Holy Grail war, and then shows a bit of the relationship between the wizard Rin, and her Servant Archer. Archer doesn’t remember much about his previous life, such as his name, but he does remember how to fight. And that’s all that matters apparently.

We then cut in to find out that Shiro has a huge mysterious gash for some reason. Meanwhile, Rin and Archer are busy spying on the school to find other servants and masters. Apparantly one’s around somewhere.

Meanwhile at the Ranch, Shiro gets duped into cleaning lockers by an annoying guy in the sports team. This causes Shiro to be school later than he should be, which fortunately turns out fine….

… because he’s the main character. If it was you, you’d get stabbed and die. Outside of the school, Rin and Archer run into another servant wielding a lance. Lancer and Archer duke it out (for some reason, Archer uses a pair of shortswords as his main weapon) and wind up being seen by Shiro. Apparantly some clause in the Holy Grail war’s terms means that Shiro has to be executed for witnessing this fight, so Lancer stabs him in the heart.

Fortunately for Shiro, Rin finds him and happens to know raise dead, and happens to be carrying a diamond worth 10000 gp. This allows her to cast resurrection on him, which isn’t very helpful. He’s alive, but that lancer guy will definitely kill him if he finds out he’s alive

Well, Lancer winds up finding Shiro at his house, and threatening to finish the job, before this REALLY attractive chick in blue armor shows up…

Anyway, things appear to be heating up in this series, even though it looks like watching a dungeons and dragons game. They even admit to what classes each of the characters are.
