Fate/stay night Episode 10 – A Peaceful Interlude
Spoilers: (Show)
I did a bit of research on who Sasaki Kojiro (the Assassin) is. Sasaki Kojiro (佐々木 小次郎, also known as Ganryu Kojiro) was a swordsman in the early Edo period. Turns out he he was the rival of Miyamoto Musashi. The story behind him is actually quite interesting, especially his death and how he lost to Musashi. Now I’m curious on who Saber really is. FuzzyWuzzy thinks she’s the Maiden of Orleans (also known as Joan of Arc). In this episode she did mention her reasoning for obtaining the Holy Grail was to fulfill a duty she couldn’t complete before her death.
In this episode, Shirou begins training with Saber and he gets his ass whooped. On a lunch break, he meets Ilya, the little girl that has the Berserker Heracles as her servant. She actually sneaked out to find Shirou. She actually looks quite innocent and just wanted to talk and have fun with Shirou. Shirou even gave her a Taiyaki and imagined her to be something like a younger sister. Ilya had to cut their meeting short when she heard Berserker wake up. She seems like a lonely girl and my guess is that if she got the Holy Grail was to have more friends or be free from her duties as daughter of a magacian.
That night, Shirou accidentally enters the bathroom just when Saber was about to take a bath and of course he got to see her naked. For the next minute or so, Saber asks Shirou to look at her as a Servant first then a woman. There’s nothing to be ashamed to see a servant naked, as she is a warrior. Shirou of course was red from head to toe.
Later on, Rin starts training Shirou and fed him a jewel which should allow him to turn his magic switch on and off by command. Right now, whenever Shirou wanted to reinforce any item, he creates a new trace every time and that wastes a lot of mana. So she’s having him practice reinforcement for the remainder of the night.
