PLEASE watch the ED for this show (and other shows in general idk why you skip them at all)

Envyus

Iskander is eastern version of Alexander the Greats name.

Envyus

Asassain said his name in the first episode. Hassan-i-Sabbah the alias of one of the 19 Leaders of the Hashshashin. (As in 19 consecutive leaders that all had the same alias.)

Ryoma Nagare

They didn't skip it. They literally talked about Iskandar's parade in the ED in their discussion.

Adar

I started the show after you guys did. Then I watched all of it. Then I watched all of Unlimited Blade Works.... damn this show is good.

k.lam

Love how Rick already has theories on the identities!! Fav part of the reaction so far

Hercule Pyro

If you missed it Irisviel (the wife) said that Arhturs actually name was Arturia.

theprolificpotato

The first ending is very good, try to watch it to have a glimpse of the servants' past lives. Fun fact, almost all of the stills are based from real-life paintings/sculptures of them back then, you can see the comparison in the following amv https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HafFAW8F-NA

Rakoon Shampoo

They did. They just cut it from the YouTube edit. It’s in the full length.

Hakurei Oni

"I think Archer is Ramses II." Oh the irony

Since the premise of the show is a war between ancient heroes they expect a bunch of cool fights but there isnt that many really. Some cool ones but the fighting isnt exactly the best part of the show imo. I always wanted a sword fight from Iskandar, and the way Gilgamesh fights is kinda dull

It almost sounds like I dont like the show haha. But I just rewatched and really like it, the characters make it a great one

Why episodes titled differently on Netflix and Funimation?

HollowAvarice

In the first episode they called assassin Hassan (as in Hassan-i-Sabah, the founder of the Hashshashin, or Order of Assassins) Iskander is another way of saying Alexander. Bluebeard is a 1700s French story of a nobleman who marries women, kills them, remarries, repeats.

How did i watch all of Fate and not know this lmao to be fair its been years tho

Ashe

How do i watch this in full length i cant find the post for it

DAki

This anime is not bad I guess

Anonymous

I don't know if you mentioned this but the singer of the op is the same as the Demon Slayer op.

Olenti

I feel you Aaron. That scene was hard to watch. I thought he was letting him escape too, which made it even worse.

Olenti

I guess they missed the part in ep 1, where they say Archibald found another relic. I'm sure they'll be confused next episode.

Ark

Man, I thought this guy shows up later, guess it was much earlier than I expected. lmao when I first watched I thought "wow this servant a nice guy, he's letting him go." Which now made me bias towards male w/ that face. Which in FGO the moment I saw the same face I was like "That guy is definitely a bad, he's gonna betray us."

BRONNOCK

I can’t wait for them to see the second movie different class

Ryoma Nagare

Man, I will look forward to their every reaction to Caster and Ryuunosuke. It's been a long time since I've seen them all so uncomfortable.

Parker Maisterra

So piece of advice to really enjoy this much more, re-fresh yourself on the history of the servants summoned. Really gets to enjoy the drastically different life styles of each hero, their motivations and even their abilities

Anonymous

Hope you enjoy this series as I have

Yil

I second this, Iskandar is awesome itself as a character, but I got to enjoy a lot more from him once I learned he was Alexander. And Arthur's story is very important for most of the anime adaptations.

Cyridius

"Are we sure he's the archer because those arrows look very big" Welcome to one of the longest running Fate memes, BlindWave

Law Licht

Hi guys I'm your new fan of Fate Zero reaction, I hope one of you have the chance to read this because as a long time fate zero fan I want to address some questions that you guys have WITHOUT SPOILING anything related to the anime series because some of the info are exclusive to the visual novel reader. Let me say this again, what I'm about to say below is SPOILER FREE so don't worry and keep on reading. 1. About the mage bloodline, older=stronger. In Fate universe, magic and magus concept are entirely different with that in Harry Potter universe. Here for one to enact magic as phenomenon they use "conceptual" nerve in their body, which is dubbed as "Magic Circuit", as a conduit to let mana be transformed into a specific magical act. To put it in comparison with real life example, lets say you want to move your hand then the biological process that occurs to achieve this is roughly like this: Brain (command) + electrical signal (energy) -> Nervous System (pathway) -> Hand Muscle Contraction (result) while to perform magic the simplified process is like this: Soul (command) -> Magic Circuit (mana reservoir and pathway) + Spell (formula) -> Magecraft (result) Mages spend their lives researching magic of their own choosing for the ultimate magnum opus that all mages share, to reach The Root or The Akashic Record or The Truth (mentioned briefly by Kotomine in Ep 1). It is a theoretical (and mystical?) place where every answer lies, the truth of all past and future, the end and the beginning. But this search is impossible to realize in one lifetime and so the mages will PASS DOWN their lifetime fruit of labor and research to their descendent. This inheritance is not in form of books or gold, but they literally will TRANSPLANT part of their Magic Circuit (dubbed as Magic Crest, mentioned briefly by Kariya in ep 1 as Worm Crest) into their child when they are mature enough. Just think of it like as you giving your child a USB drive full of memes that you have collected all of your life. And then your child will do the same as you, adding more memes collection into the USB and then passing it down to their own offspring and so on. That's why the older the magician family is, the stronger they are. Because their Magic Crest is richer and bigger in a sense. 2. About the worm that "violates" Sakura. Those worms are actually magical creatures that originates and functions as Zoken's familiar (the old creepy guy). They are akin and acts like a parasite, sucking or devouring the victim's mana for Zoken. They do so by injecting their tentacles directly into their victim's Magic Circuit, and remember that Magic Circuit is literally your body nervous system so just imagine how it feels to have hundred of foreign bodies directly violated you from inside out. That's why what Sakura actually experiences is MUCH MUCH worse than it's shown in the anime. 3. About the Summoning System. By default, once you are chosen by The Holy Grail you can summon a servant WITHOUT any relic. By doing so what servant that you are going to summon is completely RANDOM, but in theory they are going to be similar or compatible with you as in personality or character. But you can bypass these limitation if you have a relic, something from your preferred hero had in their life, to forcefully have them answer your summoning. And most of the heroes that can be summoned can only be summoned in one or few classes, with one of the class being their strongest form. For example, if you summoned Arturia although she is the strongest as Saber she could also fall into Lancer, or Rider, or even Berserker (if by chance another hero already took Saber class at the time of her summoning) but she could not be Caster. This is restricted by the heroes own legend, they can't represent a class that wasn't a part of their identity when they lived. I hope this can clear some confusion that you had, and I can assure the only reason I explain these points is because they are not explicitly explained in the anime. Cheers guys.

Kaz

If you guys did not notice. Op is debut song by LISA also singer for the Demon Slayer.

Maximilian Baumann

Just became a patreon for fate. Watched you on Youtube for a long time but Fate/Zero is my absolute favorite show ever. Got even better for me at a second watch.

BRONNOCK

I’m exactly the same fuck waiting an extra week for fate

Gabe Garcia
