At the arrival of the white haired girl, Tohsaka seems preoccuied
stating that her Servant is much stronger then they, anyway the girl is
pleased to make acquaintance with Rin and she introduce herself as Ilya
(Illyasviel von Einzbern) asking Tohsaka if she know that name.
Rin seems to know what the name means and Ilya says that's enough
introduction 'cause the others three are going to die anyway ans she
command her servant Berserk to attack the trio.
Saber engage the enemy, telling Shirou to stay back, as his name state
Berserk is a wild and ferocious fighter, he wields his huge weapon as if
it is a toy, and Saber is forced to an almost deperate defense while
Ilya is really entertained by the battle between the two Servants and
the clear superiority of her Berserk.
Moving with great speed and agility Saber tries to engage Ilya directly
but the wild assaults of Berserk her from doing so and she is hardly hit
by Berserk giant sword (well, for the size it is we could consider it a
great maul...O_o) and she flies back finally hitting a lamp, so Ilya
tells Berserk to finish her in one blow.
The giant swing a strong slash hitting the ground and provoking a linear
break in the road but Saber dodge the attack jumping and tries an upside
down slash that is intercepted by Berserk's weapon and again she hit the
ground.
However the wound sustained in the previous fight with Lancer seems to
hurt Shirou notices the fact and run toward Saber telling her to stop
but he's stopped by Rin who then use a sort of "magic missile" against
Berserk, diverting his attention from Saber who tries a surprise attack.
Sadly, Berserk is not so easy to fool and Saber sustain another serious
wound, falling on the ground for the third time in this fight, again
Shirou walks toward her but she raise an hand in his direction to stop
him, Shirou is truly touched by the bleeding figure of her Servant and
he seems to be a little desperate for her fate.
Ilya says that there's no mean she can win, revealing the nature of her
Servant, he's Hercules the strongest hero of the ancient greece, unknown
to all of the presents they are watched by a misterious seer using a
crystal ball, probably another Master or a Servant, anyway Ilya tells
Berserk to behead Saber so she could not regenerate further.
Shirou is desperate, at the point that his Reiju glow with an arcane
light and, as Berserk moves to finish Saber, he moves toward the
direction of the gigantic blade parrying the blow directed to Saber with
his own body, both Rin and Saber are stupefied by the foolish action of
Emiya and Ilya too, to the point she decides to end over the fight
dismissing Berserk and telling Rin that she's her next target.
The reaction of Rin is to scold the fainted Emiya, telling him that she
could not save him anymore.
There is another flashback with Shirou and his father, about the fact
the the parent wanted to be an hero of justice but he was unable to do
so, and Amiya tells him that he will become an hero in his sake, after
that Emiya wake up in his room, with several bandages covering his chest.
As he wonders about what's happened the night before he found Rin
quietly drinking some tea in his dining room asking her why she's there
and obtaining a complain about the bad quality of the tea in hsi room as
an answer.
Rin tells Emiya that she carried him back home and that his wound
strangely healed with incredible speed by itself, wondering about the
possibility that Saber was passing him some magical power to increase
his healing rate, although that's not so normal.
Tohsaka says that Shirou is an impossible Master 'cause never before has
a Master tried to save his Servant to the point of shielding him with
his own body and besides she says that is a meaningless action because
if he had died Saber would have disappeared as well.
She then asks Shirou what his intentions are, and the boy answers that
he didn't want the incident of ten year ago to happen again, although he
got no interest in the Holy Grail War and Rin says that Saber could kill
him for this opinion beacuse even the Servants wish to hold the Holy Grail.
They got a discussion about the spiritual nature of the Servants that
ends u with RIn saying that the other Master could not be so kind as
Emiya in the way they conduct the war and that can push theirselves to
the point of feeding their Servants with human souls to gain more
Magical power, Emiya is shocked by this revelation wondering if even
Saber will devoure human souls to further gain mana, but Rin interrupt
his toughts asking him if he really want to hunt the other Masters only
if they do evil and doing nothing if the situation doesn't require him
to take action and Emiya says that if that happens (a Master doing evil
i mean) he will just stop them.
Rin says that thye problem in doing this is that he will be hunted down
by other Master and the two of them ends up talking about the Servant
encountered the previous night, with Rin saying that Ilya was careless
to let them know her Servant true identity 'cause she also let them know
Berserk weak points but Emiya interrupt her asking if she knows Saber
real name.
Well Tohsaka takes a little fun of him saying that is better for Emiya
to not know it at all 'cause he's the type that could reveal his Servant
true name just by accident, she then leaves telling Shirou that is
better if he not view her as a human being from now on, on the way back
she meets with Sakura who smells the scent of blood on her as Tohsaka
passes by, but she tehn encounter Fujimura sensei.
Back at Shirou's place Emiya search all his house to find Saber in the
"dojo" (or so it seems), Saber tells Shirou that fighting is her part of
the job and that there's no need to protect her, the two argues a little
but in the end Emiya seems to accept the fact.
Bothered by what RIn has said before he ask Saber if she will devour
human souls to acquire power but she answer that injuring someone who's
not wielding a sword is not a possible solution and that will go against
her vows as a knight so Emiya is truly relieved and, when Saber says
that if she will be ordered to do so he couldn't do nothing else but
obey, he responds her that he will never order such a thing, asking her
forgiveness to have insulted her with his ignorance.
Saber tells Shirou to raise his head, stating that the whole fact was
due to a big misunderstanding by the two of them, and they both walk out
of the dojo heading to the dining room for breakfast, with Shirou asking
Saber if she's ok with japanese food and the episode ends up with a
funny dialogue between the two.
