Fate/Stay Night – 20

As Emiya walks home from visiting Kotomine, he thinks about what the priest told him. Goldie only had one real way to stay in this world as long as he did: he attacked humans and used their souls to replenish his mana. Kotomine promises to investigate Goldie, and gives Emiya some advice concerning Saber. Once she obtains the Grail, she'll have no reason to keep on living as a Servant, as her wish would have been completed. In order to keep Saber in this world, Emiya would have to use his last command spell and force her to drink from the Grail. Herein lies Emiya's problem, as Saber must not be allowed to have the Grail, but it's the only thing that can keep her in this world. Emiya finally realizes something that we've known for quite a while. At first, he fought with Saber for the sole purpose of stopping the Holy Grail War before more people got hurt. But now it's different. He's fighting to keep Saber with him, because he's in love with her. Aw.

Fate/Stay Night – 19

And I'm in awe of your…hawtness?

Saber and Assassin are still at it, while Emiya and Kuzuki fight on in the background (is it just me, or did Emiya suddenly become pimp daddy sword master in a span of 3 episodes?). Saber manages to bend Assassin's blade with one hit of her own, but Assassin finally gets his feet on flat ground and is able to use his Noble Phantasm, "Tsubame-Gaeshi". Caster closes in on Rin and Sakura, both of which seem to be alive after the events of the last episode. Assassin unleashes "Tsubame-Gaeishi" at Saber, who hurries to retaliate. The two end up in the classic Samurai-style "after slash" stance.

Strawberry Panic! – 5 and Fate/Stay Night – 18

Hooray for laziness! I was fresh off of possibly failing my English final, so I was in no mood to blog yesterday…but here's what I ment to blog about. Yeah.

Fate/Stay Night – 17

The episode opens with Emiya and one of those spooky dreams he has about Saber's past. Apparently, she was forced to sacrifice an entire village and it's people to win a battle, a feat that her troops weren't too happy about, as they knew her sheath would guarantee victory either way. Emiya considers the notion that this may have something to do with Saber wanting the Holy Grail, but pushes the thought aside and heads to breakfast.

Saber raises her sword to the heavens in Emiya's dream.

Because I've been busyish with school work, and because I'm lazy, I'll sum up the good stuff this week, and a few that I forgot last week, in one convenient post.
