I mean, he didn't specifically intend to help them, it was kinda just that by the end, since Shiro had learned about Archers past and that didn't break him, Archer kinda just shrugged and was like "I guess that's good enough cognitive development.

Okey so let me get this straight. Archer half betrayed Rin because she is an absolute disaster and doesn't ever listen to him and half because he wanted to go around gathering random lore he missed out on the first time around? Bro I am not even mad. I would legit do that in his situation.
In the source material he does it cuz he needed a safe way to take out Caster while leaving Saber for Rin. He was irritated by some of Rin's decisions though. The abridged cranks that up more.
In the VN Rin loses to Caster is going to get killed in a few seconds so he does it to save her live justifying it as joining the winning team to Caster.
Funnily enough, Vader is more like Sakura (horrible childhood conditions, strong magical potential but held back, shows jelousy towards an older sibling figure, has attatchment issues towards this one person who they would do anything to protect, manipulated by an evil being into commiting horrible acts, the ending themes of the HF Trilogy even sounds like it would fit Vader)
"He mocked and slapped me, so I burned his lab and freed his orphans!" *under his breath* "Okay I've changed my mind, freed his Orphans? NOPE SORRY GONNA NEED THE LONG VERSION"
"Ah just the four of us with Archer announcing himself upfront rather than making a sudden midscene appearance" -Caster as Shirou is soon to make a midscene appearance
"Mommy.... why is that swordsman bleeding so much?" "Because he doesn't have a sense of his own limits and compulsively has to help others sweetie. Now come along before he offers you candy." *My boy Shirou did not need to be done dirty like that.*
Command seals are 90% intention (which is why they can go off without meaning to if you're not careful). They compel the servant to do exactly what you intend them to do. Unfortunately this doesn't allow for lawyering or semantics on the servant's part.
@@ProjectMouthwash eh...it does allow for some degree of lawyering seemingly. It's just harder to do so then simply doing that and the simpler the order the less they can do about it, too broad and you get a Archer situation where he's lightly penalized for disobeying rather then stopped. And since there's a 90% chance he knew Shirou was there he'd probably minimum pull a Irish hero and take two for the price of one.
You right. Even if she got really specific and told Archer to kill Archer, Shirou is still technically Archer. Assuming that doesn't work he could just carpet bomb himself while near himself
@@tetragaming6332 Slight Spoiler warning for anyone that hasn’t seen the series yet: Technically speaking, Shirou doesn’t become Archer until the end of this war, in which he becomes an anti-hero of sorts in a different timeline entirely. I believe he was actually termed as a Guardian, rather than a heroic spirit, as his deeds in life led him to him finally realizing his dream; and then promptly scoffing at the result of his dream.
I mean, technically speaking, it doesn't summon those Eldritch Gods either. The cases you are referring in normal circumstances are about people blessed with some of those Eldritch Gods's powers. The other cases (those that are fully out of the norm) do have some Eldritch Gods summoned within the vessel of other servants (like for Van Gogh) or of humans. However, those cases also include the ones where normal gods and phantasmal beings can be summoned as servants within vessels. Lucifer could technically be summoned in such a way, so that isn't what is meant here.
@@carlwilliams7333 You can't technically summon Jesus since he's still technically alive. He did revive himself and just went to heaven forever living as an immortal like Merlin. Though maybe it's possible to summon him if he it was a past where he wasn't born yet, the same way Casgil was able to summon Merlin
@@privateuser3726 the quintessential example is Remona Flowers from Scott Pilgrim. Basically it’s the trope of the love interest who is very quirky and absolutely mentally ill.
@@kyurama6443 Lucifer is way beyond a demi-god. Even the lowest angels and demons cannot be normally summoned by the Grail. Same for other phantasmal beings.
@@kyurama6443 Nope, because angels are full phantasmal beasts. (Also, Gil being 2/3 Divine doesn't really play a role since he rejected his own divinity out of hatred for the gods, which as a result lowered its rating.)
Which is kind of making one curious on what would be his reaction if he was right? would it be along the lines of "OH THAT IS COLD AND HARDCORE! ...gross...BUT STILL COLD AND HARDCORE!"
It's like he met caster in his teenage years and has held on to that theory ever since. Weird, wonder how he could remember that theory with his amnesia though 🤔
@@xVx_K1r1t0_xVx_KillMe I imagine Actually Satan has plenty of ways to temporarily defy amnesia, assuming he's not lying about that part entirely. It's hard to trust the words of a fallen angel.
What Archer wouldn’t know is Sakura’s past, Illya knowing the events which lead up to Fate/ zero which in turn decided her choices in Heavens feel (this is assumed cause Illya never was shown talking about it with Shiro and in turn, Archer wouldn’t know of it as well), and Archer wouldn’t know the lengths dark Sakura would go to when unleashed…including consuming him.
Remember when I made a comment like this on the Reddit. It did not go well... Something like both archers came from the fate route but after their arrival, the routes change
"I trust Shirou Emiya because he would never betray me. He's proven to me that i can trust him" Ah, Archer must be feeling some verrrry complicated feelings this entire series. Also, Damn, the voice acting and writing keep being top notch.
Tbh the original is still good, but like with DBZA and SAOA I think this just takes it up a notch and makes it better. Well, in SAOs case it actually makes a trash show good IMO.
It's my favorite type of abridging; the condensing of information and repeating it in a parodied format. It doesn't really change what's presented in the original but instead strips away all the flowery language and gets straight to the point, while also often making comedic commentary about either the content or presentation.
The ability to tie in the other movies both the Dean Arc from Acher's POV and Zero from Baber's adds some important depth that the original is missing. Much like Piccalo's internal conversations with Nail and later Kami are additions that make sense in universe.
Dude, the scene where Archer Betrays Rin is waaaay more brutal here than in the actual show. Idk about you guys, but the way he tells Rin to kill him knowing she won’t cause he know she knows he’s Shirou is... woah. This abridged can get more emotional and powerful than the original show at times, which is fucking incredible!
As someone who likes the actual show, I definitely agree that the abridged writes and paces it far better. It even dumbs down a lot of the concepts, magic, lore better for people to understand.
Kuzuki: "I assume everyone who enters a room alone with me wants to kill me" "The first student who comes to class is usually the most terrifying" "It's usually Emiya or Tohsaka" Archer internally: "Oh this is just too easy..."
So this episode probably has the most subtle bit of character humor from Archer in it that I've ever written for any character. Looking forward to seeing if anyone picks up on it. If not, then I guess it'll just be for us~!
@@DragonLord2801 was that explained in a previous episode or was it implied. You know what I am going to watch them all again anyway. I’ll figure it out.
I also enjoy how she seems to be aggravating Archer on purpose with all that reuniting-Saber-with-Shirou, I-trust-Shirou-Emiya talk in an effort to get Archer to spill the narrative beans. And Archer just says "K." "Y U HAVE AMNESIA???"
@@myoldchannel0 the part where she ask shirou to clarify who did he love. She blurted "Archer?!" then noted that if so there's gonna be some bad and uncomfortable news, or something to that line.
"... I... am a Manic, Pixie, DREAM GIRL!" "Yup..." "I've never felt more alive!!" "That is upsetting if true." Never thought I'd see a moment where someone's words of introspection would those. I freaking love it!
Every version of him is the same as even in the fate extella timeline he treated Tamamo like shit and left her to die which is why she loves Hakuno/Hakunon so much for choosing to form a contract with an enemy servant like her
@@sdbzfan1 He’s not in the anime. He makes an appearance in the third volume. I should note that despite his competency we do see character flaws that would lead to him doing what he did in Fate. Particularly his misogyny, insecurity about people more skilled than him, and high levels of pride.
Kuzuki: Whenever I’m alone with someone in a room I think they are trying to kill me. Archer: Even at school Kuzuki: Yes, funny enough it’s usually emiya or tohsaka Archer: *cryptic smile intensifies*
To be fair, at least you've got a slightly less demanding New Episode release tradition than I do when it comes to this (Rewatch the whole abridged every episode, Rewatch all of Fate, including Zero, Aporcapha-or however you spell that one - FSN, both original and UBW, and then the Abridged, at this point, I've got most of it memorised.)
@@kamishin7135 idk man, if you consider grand order canon (which is inadvisable for a man liking his sanity) then people who kill others by ordering people or using poisons are still assassins. Or just ones associated with subterfuge.
"Did you record it?" "Yes dear." "Did you watch it without me!?" "No dear." Honestly, it's kinda impressive that a witch and a borderline robotic assassin can be such relationship goals.
Archer: “sorry to cut in. He summoned a caster, got up set when they’re non rider servant couldn’t summon a dragon that their legend never mentioned summoning or controlling. Then got upset that you... a caster. Can preform mage craft better than he can? Medea: “Yes! He seemed rather shocked that I, princess Medea, was able to do the thing I was summoned for because I can do” My favorite interaction this episode!
interestingly enough In her story she GOT dragons but she didnt summoned them. Basically helios sent them to her to escape jason after she killed her sons after he cheated. Soooooo yea
@@jackbelmont4389 love the fact that the only reason Medea didn't get punished for ANYTHING was because she never broke the oath and she was favored by Hera (IIRC). Like she made a poison dress and crown that made that made Jason's wife #2 catch fire and then killed the King because whoever touched the dress also dies and Killed her children out of revenge. But because of not breaking oath and Hera liked her, she got off Scott free.
@@blu42nj Ah i see you saw overly sarcastic productions. I mean yea but i think her ending could be open to interoretation. Either she lived in her cottage in peace or she died to whatever random greek monster.
@@jackbelmont4389 no , Medea actually had a good ending. Her son Medus , born when she slept with the father of Theseus , had overthrow Medea's uncle , Perses, then he ruled Colchis. So , it's pretty easy to assume that Medea had lived the rest of her days in Colchis.
@@blu42nj Yeah it really is hilarious and a strange case of injustice. Medea pretty much broke every single big rule that the Greeks had that would automatically have the gods smite you or sent to Tartarus or both yet she gets away scot free while Jason alone suffers which he totally deserved but Medea became just as bad. After everything she did they honestly deserve each other. They're both scumbags.
The whole “satisfying old curiosities” bit was great, if there wasn’t the limit of source footage (and also the tremendous amount of time and effort you all put into all your work) it would be so cool to see a little spinoff of “Archer asks characters questions he couldn’t figure out during his lifetime.” And also gigachad Archer flexing his knowledge of “direct mana transfer” Imma gush about this episode until the next one gets released!
As someone who doesn’t know the original source material and have only read tv tropes and bits of wiki articles, I was curious why Archer was asking these questions to them. It’s neat if the answer really is “I didn’t know these characters in my timeline so I wanna hear their backstory now”. I thought it was more him trying to see what shifted from his timeline and this one.
@@robertdelossantos5844 He knew all of them but he didn't know WHY they were the way they were. Now that he can pretend to not be who he is, he can get the answers he couldn't in life.
@@th3stainedrose I think we can assume that she was still medusa, just with a different noble phantasm, after all, A) It had a massive fuck off eye in the centre of it and B) She kept her eyes covered the entire time, and C) What's medusa more known for, killing people with her gaze, or riding a fucking Pegisus
Medea probably said that a mana transfer involving sex would be more efficient than any other method and then took off her hood and released those blue locks before saying there were other ways if he didn't like it...
@Voxel Composer Hopefully, you don't really think what you said as it's pretty false 'in reality'. Some like them and some hate it (actually, those who dislike them are higher in number), so it's definitely not something as ridiculously exaggerated as a 'transcendental phenomena of desire', which sounds like something a character with eighth-grade syndrome would say in an anime. You really need to change your mind if you seriously believe it. (though it might be just a case of you projecting yourself onto others as many people do, consciously or subconsciously, in order to justify their opinion) (Source: regular interaction with the society; studied human psychology)
I think it'll be interesting if after UBWA is done, they decided to do HFA with, unlike the films, Archer being sent directly from UBW to HF, retaining his memories and Character development from UBWA, and becoming an audience surrogate for the absolute insanity that is HF compared to the other routes.
"So the way you talk at school - that's how you think people talk? That's you blending in?" "It took me four years to realize people didn't talk that way." This one is just a gem. I laughed so much I forgot how to breathe.
She figured it out after Shirou told her about the pendant he always carried, which shouldn't be possible since there's only one and Archer gave her the one he had.
To be fair, playing the final fantasy games, you learn quickly that in all of them there is a Manic Pixie Dream Girl as a main character, Except maybe FF13 when you have a Manic Pixie Dream Boy/Himbo Sephiroth
In cannon, Rin’s first command seal WAS to make Archer more obedient, which he can ignore if he’s willing to take a penalty of having his stats lowered to resist it
@@NSAsterus I see. I love fate for the visuals. The story is always way to damn complicated for me to keep up with. Which is why I enjoy this so much lol
'Who doesn't want a woman who can kick their ass' Have we been here before, it feels like we've been here before. With another dual-wielding swordsman with a complex.
Well… at least in his Abridged version. Pretty sure Shirou wins in character development outside of Abridged series given how… little character growth the Black Swordsman actually has in SAO.
@@aakashsinghkharayat5025 according to the wiki, A Manic Pixie Dream Girl (MPDG) is a stock character type in films. Film critic Nathan Rabin, who coined the term after observing Kirsten Dunst's character in Elizabethtown (2005), said that the MPDG *"exists solely in the fevered imaginations of sensitive writer-directors to teach broodingly soulful young men to embrace life and its infinite mysteries and adventures."*
"I'm in love." "Is it Archer?! Cause if its Archer, I got some bad news." Ah, real awkward. So, that would mean that Shirou is in love with himself. So... I think that would make him a narcissist?
Well the tag "selfcest" exists in the fate hentai search for a reason... two actually, the other is the MASSIVE amount of version of Artoria Pendragon.
Archer: "What was the music like? It's like a water dropping onto water and then a jaunty violin music before the transfer right?" Everyone else: "..."
I'm just gonna say this, Archer's speech to Kuzuki is kinda funny when you consider that based on how he described it, Shirou Emiya himself is EVERYONE'S MANIC PIXIE DREAM GIRL!!!!
That's what Archer has been trying to get Shiro to realize the entire series, with Kuzuki he's just given up on hinting at it and is slapping Kuzuki with reality immediately.
"It's usually Emiya or Tohsaka that's first to walk in..." Little did he know, it still is... Also I caught the "These reflections are why the episode took so long" Great job again guys! Can't wait for the next one.
Also, I've been watching the Curse of Strahd campaign recently and now I can't help but see Hadrick breaking up with Jolyne who instead gets together with Xanthirics. 🤣
Okay the Confession Scene, literally 10/10 for me. Besides it being heartwarming and hilarious. I love the way it played into make this a hard ship sell, but if you actual read into the characters of who the are, you get to see why what traits attracts them to each other. Shirou said it best in list when asked, passionate and hardworking. Confidence and perseverance are attractive qualities. He even said traits to call him out when hes being reckless, and yea he’s needs someone to stop his sacrificial lamb mentality. Im no Fate fanboy by any means, so im out of my depth when talking about this. But in all routes, Shirou ends up with someone different based on the choices he makes. I like to think that in life you could end up with anyone really, but its the choices and experiences we make that ultimately decides our fate. These two could end up with anyone else, in a number of possibilities, and is confirm in the routes we’ve seen, but they end up choosing each other. I don’t know why, I find that kind of sweet. Two stubborn people refuse to listen to anyone, even fate it self. Also, how Shirou goes to town in simping for Rin BOOTY is 10/10 writing, and does justice in saying what I wanted to say to her. Even if Rin isn’t your waifu, You can’t deny that ASS.
I can't wait for that transfer scene, are they going to the blood route or the white route, and the scene with them as adults and college could be pretty wholesome, and we can only imagine how sad that soon dead small frightening child is going to be.
I read between the lines that u have read the Visual Novel - i would say that alone defines u as a fate fanboy because literally nobody else would sink his time into this if it wasnt for getting every inch of fate lore possible
Definitely my most preferred pair out of the three routes. Most grounded and complementary relationship without any toxicity. Plus, Shiro gets a pretty decent and happy future life in this route.
@@yman7254 in this she does. She very much hints that she knows in the abridged at that point. You can see it when she is questioning him about Caladbolg. She put two and two together after seeing Shirou project noble phantasms. Also, Shirou told her about the necklace before then in this I think but, would need to rewatch to be sure about that.
Not sure why, but I really cracked up too much at Archer's reaction to Shirou's Tracing "Hey, hey stop making those!" He sounds a mix of exasperated and offended that makes me laugh for some reason
The writing in this abridged series is just unmatched. Every episode and every character is just so well crafted that it keeps me invested in between these long months. Honestly, the scene between Shirou and Rin on the hill was so strangely wholesome and moving. I don't know how you guys do it. Amazing work!

LOL Same
Okey so let me get this straight. Archer half betrayed Rin because she is an absolute disaster and doesn't ever listen to him and half because he wanted to go around gathering random lore he missed out on the first time around?
Bro I am not even mad. I would legit do that in his situation.
Yeah, seriously. Its his second playthrough, its time for that renegade route and all the lore locked away behind that path.
In the source material he does it cuz he needed a safe way to take out Caster while leaving Saber for Rin. He was irritated by some of Rin's decisions though. The abridged cranks that up more.
I mean that is what you do when you repeat the game right ??
To be fair, he might also be trying to test a Mana Transfer Theory, if Shirou gets a mana transfer, does Archer get that as well.
In the VN Rin loses to Caster is going to get killed in a few seconds so he does it to save her live justifying it as joining the winning team to Caster.
Archer: I have altered the deal.
Shirou is Anakin Skywalker and Archer is Darth Vader confirmed.
“Pray I do not alter it further”.
Funnily enough, Vader is more like Sakura (horrible childhood conditions, strong magical potential but held back, shows jelousy towards an older sibling figure, has attatchment issues towards this one person who they would do anything to protect, manipulated by an evil being into commiting horrible acts, the ending themes of the HF Trilogy even sounds like it would fit Vader)
It's kinda similar, both ended up evil (not really in Archer's case) by wanting to do something good
@@ride-playerbb2818 you 😊
In Heaven's Feels route:
Saber = Anakin Skywalker.
Saber Alter = Darth Vader.
Shirou = Obi Wan Kenobi.

I just realized that ordering Archer to kill himself could be interpreted as kill Shirou.
Fuck that's galaxy brain that's so good
Command seals are 90% intention (which is why they can go off without meaning to if you're not careful). They compel the servant to do exactly what you intend them to do. Unfortunately this doesn't allow for lawyering or semantics on the servant's part.
@@ProjectMouthwash eh...it does allow for some degree of lawyering seemingly. It's just harder to do so then simply doing that and the simpler the order the less they can do about it, too broad and you get a Archer situation where he's lightly penalized for disobeying rather then stopped. And since there's a 90% chance he knew Shirou was there he'd probably minimum pull a Irish hero and take two for the price of one.
You right. Even if she got really specific and told Archer to kill Archer, Shirou is still technically Archer.
Assuming that doesn't work he could just carpet bomb himself while near himself
@@tetragaming6332 Slight Spoiler warning for anyone that hasn’t seen the series yet:
Technically speaking, Shirou doesn’t become Archer until the end of this war, in which he becomes an anti-hero of sorts in a different timeline entirely. I believe he was actually termed as a Guardian, rather than a heroic spirit, as his deeds in life led him to him finally realizing his dream; and then promptly scoffing at the result of his dream.
Rin: "The grail *probably* can't summon Lucifer."
No, but it can summon eldritch gods in the bodies of little girls.
And unfortunately, those eldritch gods are worse.
I mean, technically speaking, it doesn't summon those Eldritch Gods either.
The cases you are referring in normal circumstances are about people blessed with some of those Eldritch Gods's powers.
The other cases (those that are fully out of the norm) do have some Eldritch Gods summoned within the vessel of other servants (like for Van Gogh) or of humans. However, those cases also include the ones where normal gods and phantasmal beings can be summoned as servants within vessels. Lucifer could technically be summoned in such a way, so that isn't what is meant here.
Nope, but Jesus can probably be summoned. His Noble Phantasm is probably The Second Coming though so it may be a bad idea.
@@carlwilliams7333 You can't technically summon Jesus since he's still technically alive. He did revive himself and just went to heaven forever living as an immortal like Merlin. Though maybe it's possible to summon him if he it was a past where he wasn't born yet, the same way Casgil was able to summon Merlin
the grail hasnt summoned any of those yet. chaldea has.

@@kyurama6443 Lucifer is way beyond a demi-god. Even the lowest angels and demons cannot be normally summoned by the Grail. Same for other phantasmal beings.
How about 2/3 demigods like Gilgamesh. I guess they are above low angels in matters of divinity.
@@kyurama6443 Nope, because angels are full phantasmal beasts. (Also, Gil being 2/3 Divine doesn't really play a role since he rejected his own divinity out of hatred for the gods, which as a result lowered its rating.)
He's actually not Satan. Just a guy exploring some lore he missed out on his first playthrough.
Yeah he even asks media for her backstory
Even more dangerous...
Everytime Archer says "Did you eat him?" it sounds like he's had that theory for years and is dying to know if he's right
Well... Probably?
Which is kind of making one curious on what would be his reaction if he was right? would it be along the lines of
"OH THAT IS COLD AND HARDCORE! ...gross...BUT STILL COLD AND HARDCORE!"
It's like he met caster in his teenage years and has held on to that theory ever since. Weird, wonder how he could remember that theory with his amnesia though 🤔

What Archer wouldn’t know is Sakura’s past, Illya knowing the events which lead up to Fate/ zero which in turn decided her choices in Heavens feel (this is assumed cause Illya never was shown talking about it with Shiro and in turn, Archer wouldn’t know of it as well), and Archer wouldn’t know the lengths dark Sakura would go to when unleashed…including consuming him.

Honestly sometimes I forget this is an abridged series and talk about it like it is the original show
Tbh the original is still good, but like with DBZA and SAOA I think this just takes it up a notch and makes it better. Well, in SAOs case it actually makes a trash show good IMO.
With that level of quality and dedication I'd argue it's not an abbriged but a parody spin-off at this point
It's my favorite type of abridging; the condensing of information and repeating it in a parodied format. It doesn't really change what's presented in the original but instead strips away all the flowery language and gets straight to the point, while also often making comedic commentary about either the content or presentation.
The ability to tie in the other movies both the Dean Arc from Acher's POV and Zero from Baber's adds some important depth that the original is missing.
Much like Piccalo's internal conversations with Nail and later Kami are additions that make sense in universe.
Yeah some abridged series do that, like for example I can't watch DBZ nor Hellsing without hearing the abridged voice actors
Dude, the scene where Archer Betrays Rin is waaaay more brutal here than in the actual show. Idk about you guys, but the way he tells Rin to kill him knowing she won’t cause he know she knows he’s Shirou is... woah. This abridged can get more emotional and powerful than the original show at times, which is fucking incredible!
To be fair, that's because they have WAY more time to polish the script and make sure that every line hits as hard as it needs to
Also to be fair, one of the main criticisms of the show from VN fans was that the show reduced character complexity and emotional weight.
@@joshs5577
Still funny how you get more of that in an abridged series.
@@raymondyongho5757 Because in many ways the abridged series does emotional beats better.
As someone who likes the actual show, I definitely agree that the abridged writes and paces it far better. It even dumbs down a lot of the concepts, magic, lore better for people to understand.
Shirou: *makes Kanshou and Byakuya*
Archer: "HEY! HEY! STOP MAKING THOSE"
This is gold
Love this too much
Kuzuki: "I assume everyone who enters a room alone with me wants to kill me"
"The first student who comes to class is usually the most terrifying"
"It's usually Emiya or Tohsaka"
Archer internally: "Oh this is just too easy..."
So this episode probably has the most subtle bit of character humor from Archer in it that I've ever written for any character. Looking forward to seeing if anyone picks up on it. If not, then I guess it'll just be for us~!

Same bro finna rewatch this tonight
I'm currently rewatch the series.
Remember when DBZA was still a thing and it got to the point you'd have to clear like 2 days every time a new episode came out?
'Who doesn't want a woman who can kick their ass'
Have we been here before, it feels like we've been here before. With another dual-wielding swordsman with a complex.
Well… at least in his Abridged version. Pretty sure Shirou wins in character development outside of Abridged series given how… little character growth the Black Swordsman actually has in SAO.
@@Crisjola When the hell did Guts' show up in SAO?
@@barbatosmcmurderton4209 XD true. But the SAO abridged does Kirito better and he's voiced by the same VA that voices Shirou. That's what I meant.
@@Crisjola I know what you ment, I was attempting "the humor".
@@barbatosmcmurderton4209 whoops! Sorry! 😅
Kuzuki: i am manic pixie dream girl
Archer: yep
Why is archer mind facking kuzuki lol
Well funny..... thing is............ IT'S TRUE
Moon WolfHunter yeah and i never knew what MPDG was but damn kuzuki was so happy being one lol
If being a manic pixie dream girl means I can be in a cute relationship with Medea than deal
@@aakashsinghkharayat5025 according to the wiki, A Manic Pixie Dream Girl (MPDG) is a stock character type in films. Film critic Nathan Rabin, who coined the term after observing Kirsten Dunst's character in Elizabethtown (2005), said that the MPDG *"exists solely in the fevered imaginations of sensitive writer-directors to teach broodingly soulful young men to embrace life and its infinite mysteries and adventures."*
Chris Temblique wow :@ i want one
"If it's Archer I have some awkward news for you." I'm dead 😂
"I'm in love."
"Is it Archer?! Cause if its Archer, I got some bad news."
Ah, real awkward. So, that would mean that Shirou is in love with himself. So... I think that would make him a narcissist?
Well the tag "selfcest" exists in the fate hentai search for a reason... two actually, the other is the MASSIVE amount of version of Artoria Pendragon.
Shirou loving himself would be the biggest change in this entire abridged series.
Enemies to lovers😍
@@galactic_road9113 nah, Emiyas to lovers. 😋
@@Crisjola LMAO SO TRUE
"Abridge it for me."
I see what you did there.
That got a good laugh out of me
Alright. That "Brave Shine" edit with Shirou mirroring Heracles was pretty great
I didn’t understand why Archer was so interested in Mana transfers until i remembered he is supposed to be from Saber route
Archer: "What was the music like? It's like a water dropping onto water and then a jaunty violin music before the transfer right?"
Everyone else: "..."
I'm just gonna say this, Archer's speech to Kuzuki is kinda funny when you consider that based on how he described it, Shirou Emiya himself is EVERYONE'S MANIC PIXIE DREAM GIRL!!!!
Jeez...what does that make Ritsuka from FGO?
@@eyeizarandummugga Didn't play but looked them up
Every Fate Universe had their own "Everyone't Manic Pixie Dream Girl" I think lol
It takes one to know one
@@dumpsockpuppet5619 Yeah, wait, does that make ME a Manic Pixie Dream Girl too for pointing this out? Crap!
That's what Archer has been trying to get Shiro to realize the entire series, with Kuzuki he's just given up on hinting at it and is slapping Kuzuki with reality immediately.
"It's usually Emiya or Tohsaka that's first to walk in..."
Little did he know, it still is...
Also I caught the "These reflections are why the episode took so long"
Great job again guys! Can't wait for the next one.
Also, I've been watching the Curse of Strahd campaign recently and now I can't help but see Hadrick breaking up with Jolyne who instead gets together with Xanthirics. 🤣
Okay the Confession Scene, literally 10/10 for me. Besides it being heartwarming and hilarious. I love the way it played into make this a hard ship sell, but if you actual read into the characters of who the are, you get to see why what traits attracts them to each other. Shirou said it best in list when asked, passionate and hardworking. Confidence and perseverance are attractive qualities. He even said traits to call him out when hes being reckless, and yea he’s needs someone to stop his sacrificial lamb mentality.
Im no Fate fanboy by any means, so im out of my depth when talking about this. But in all routes, Shirou ends up with someone different based on the choices he makes. I like to think that in life you could end up with anyone really, but its the choices and experiences we make that ultimately decides our fate. These two could end up with anyone else, in a number of possibilities, and is confirm in the routes we’ve seen, but they end up choosing each other. I don’t know why, I find that kind of sweet. Two stubborn people refuse to listen to anyone, even fate it self.
Also, how Shirou goes to town in simping for Rin BOOTY is 10/10 writing, and does justice in saying what I wanted to say to her. Even if Rin isn’t your waifu, You can’t deny that ASS.
I can't wait for that transfer scene, are they going to the blood route or the white route, and the scene with them as adults and college could be pretty wholesome, and we can only imagine how sad that soon dead small frightening child is going to be.
I read between the lines that u have read the Visual Novel - i would say that alone defines u as a fate fanboy because literally nobody else would sink his time into this if it wasnt for getting every inch of fate lore possible
Definitely my most preferred pair out of the three routes. Most grounded and complementary relationship without any toxicity. Plus, Shiro gets a pretty decent and happy future life in this route.
I liked the threesome route
@@simonmariolle351 Or they go the "UBW Good Ending" route with Baeber, Rin and Shirou
This literally made me Google "manic pixie girl"... Referred to Scott Pilgrim. The fun never ends
I mean, it’s not the origin of the term but Ramona is the pinnacle of manic pixie dream girl
Archer is just playing a JRPG at this point. Going around and talking to all of the NPC to learn their backstory.
After the eons, my waiting was rewarded.
“What is your wish, and what is your true name?”
“Don’t got one. Don’t know it.”
“Come again.”
😂😂😂
"I can just simply kill you if you want"
"ehhhhh RULE BREAKER"
If Rin really wanted to screw him over for betraying her she'd have revealed his true name and that his goal was to kill his past self
@@michaeldaniels642 she didn’t even know it at that point
@@yman7254 in this she does. She very much hints that she knows in the abridged at that point. You can see it when she is questioning him about Caladbolg. She put two and two together after seeing Shirou project noble phantasms. Also, Shirou told her about the necklace before then in this I think but, would need to rewatch to be sure about that.
@@michaeldaniels642 yeah i rewatched it she probably does know. Mb
Not sure why, but I really cracked up too much at Archer's reaction to Shirou's Tracing
"Hey, hey stop making those!"
He sounds a mix of exasperated and offended that makes me laugh for some reason
"Do you want the short version or the long version?"
"Abridge it for me."
Ladies and gentlemen, we have a third option now.
The writing in this abridged series is just unmatched. Every episode and every character is just so well crafted that it keeps me invested in between these long months. Honestly, the scene between Shirou and Rin on the hill was so strangely wholesome and moving. I don't know how you guys do it. Amazing work!
I really like how Archer is basically redescribing how he came to be while stating that would be Rin and Shirou's fate
