Me watching Fate/Apocrypha ep 10
Sieg: *trembling while holding the sword* “Fight me!” Mordred: “Learn to hold a goddamn sword first”
Astolfo: “Dude I did not suffer for this!’ Sieg: “Really sorry about that!” Mordred: *send them both away with one blow* “gET A ROOM”
I’m choking Mordred is definitely pulling a “Are you serious? Right in front of my salad sword?”
Wow Sieg’s glare is pretty chilling. Finally some depth on his on screen appearance.
In addition, it’s when he declares his new name and his existence, so good job.
Caules and Fran getting on the hit-them-when-they-talk bandwagon.
You thought regular looting is bad? Try heart looting.
Hello to the people who come here thinking Jack is hot innocent loli, behold she is actually blood-splattered lunatic scavenging dead hearts from dead people. 
The idea of the most famous serial killer being an apparition shaped as little girl dressed in futuristic stripper outfit bathed in blood and corpses while fiddling with a Nokia 6000 series is WAY BEYOND WHAT I COULD EVER COME UP IN MY ENTIRE LIFE
“Our new room” more like “room we literally kill people for”
Jack: “Okay mom, bye bye!” *Naruto runs*
How is that walking metal armor not electrocuted by Fran’s lightning that’s some EX magic shit going on here
Caules hon that’s not what I’d call acting with discretion.
‘Third-rates’ wow Mordred your trash-talking actually hurts huh who did you learn from? Gawain?
I just realized that since Clarent is powered by Mordred’s hatred for Artoria, then it basically runs on the power of emo LOLOLOLOL
Well all is funny until she blows everybody several yards away with it.
Yo Mordred do yo always go and see people and be like “this one is homunculus, this one is not”??
On the other hand, good job A-1 at showing explicitly that Fran is indeed not a homunculus nor a human but a true artificial creation.
I don’t like saying this but Mordred, if you want an enemy real dead, go for the head.
I think she was all about decapitating people before so why suddenly just stabbed?
Um nice try Sieg but don’t you see that metal armor is like this thick and Mordred is like Terminator?
The sword looks like a toothpick jammed lightly it’s awkward now
Mordred angrily turns red, literally.
Remember that Astolfo saved Sieg just because he could? Now Sieg saved Astolfo simply because he saved him. 
Ugh getting stabbed by that huge-ass sword should hurt A LOT huh
It’s been like two days out of the castle and Sieg experiences death. AGAIN.
Sieg you need to stop dying this is not Supernatural.
I guess Mordred’s characterization is definitely aimed to be jarring between the savagery she displays in battle and the chivalrous nature she harbours as a knight. 
Astolfo: “HOW DARE YOU KILL THEM?! ARE YOU SERIOUS?! RIGHT IN FRONT OF MY SALAD LANCE?!”
That’s some chilling scream Astolfo
Kairi: “Did you make sure she’s dead?” Mordred: “Dude I stabbed her with giant sword like in the torso” Kairi: “Shit boi did you forget this is a magic war? People sparkles when they die!”
Fran’s mace: *standing up ominously* Mordred: “Weird” Me: Maybe you should be called “The Knight of Obviousness” instead of “The Knight of Treachery”
Fran: SURPRISE BITCH THOUGHT YOU’D SEEN THE LAST OF ME
Fran taking strangling with bare hands to a whole new level
Wow the mace suddenly floats, does some clicking, whirling, becomes green, and now it looks like green thunder chupa chups
Uh as much as I hate Celenike, I can’t disagree with her saying ‘stand back and don’t get roped into a suicide bomb’
But I guess if she doesn’t force Astolfo he’d definitely bolt to the ground zero trying to get a better ending that’s just like him
At this point, it’s pretty clear that none of Fran Al-Qaeda-ing her way is Caules’ command.
But instead he just understands her and gives the last command spell to boost her, no matter how painful of a decision it is :(
Wow does using the last command spell always induce flashy tron lines and sharp lightning?? Is this the Apocrypha style? Last time I see people do that, it’s just dramatic wind.
Caules’ glasses breaks and cheek gets slashed only adds the dramatic tension. And it looks cool in gif.
hOLY CRAP THE BLOOD TURNS INTO FLOWER PETALSSTOP IT STOP THE FLASHBACK IT FUCKING HURTSSSS
It’s bad enough if a dying person’s life flashes before their eyes bUT IT’S ENTIRELY ON DIFFERENT LEVEL IF IT FLASHES BEFORE THEIR CLOSE PARTNER’S EYES
Fran gets super pissed at Mordred she decides to talkIt’s actually a bit funy that everybody from the author to the animators making sure people notice Fran’s lightning pierces Sieg like ‘yo reader it’s important clue for our protagonist’s powers!’
Wait I just notice the role of the Berserkers from both faction is literally the same: to become servant bomb
At least Fran goes out in a beautiful electric explosion tree........
Astolfo: “Please be dead please be dead” Mordred: “...Yo...Hhh... Surprise....hh...bitch-” Astolfo: “ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME!?”
Caules babe :’’’(((((((
He’s such a good master he honestly thought he screwed up and let Fran die in vain and he couldn’t do anything for her even until the end
In the novels, from this point on, everything about Caules and Fran will just hurt like a bitch.
Okay let’s cut the sadness and LOOK SIEG’S HEART BEATING
Siegfried appears!!!!!
I kinda forget that bathing in dragon blood means he’s actually covered in blood from head to toe that’s pretty disgusting if given more thought.
So Siegfried’s previous life was literally on the range of ‘national hero’ to ‘professional killer’ to ‘matchmaker’
Sieg: “You lived your life as a wish-granting machine but do you ever have a wish yourself?” Siegfried: “Dude you’re like born months ago don’t throw existential crisis on me right now”
Siegfried: “Now let’s get back on you. Do you have a wish?” Sieg: “....Uhm..” Siegfried: “See existential crisis doesn’t feel good.”
Siegfried takes Sieg from aurora field to dragon dungeon so Sieg’s ego grows like wow that’s hardcore
What is this? A King Arthur play? Sword in the stone??
It’s mandatory to have a fate anime with somebody dramatically decides on a life purpose and dramatically pulls out a sword.
You know, I’ve always liked Balmung’s design. It screams ‘WILD HERO’ and it’s got this badass design and color and sheath. In fact, it’s the third place in my heart after Durandal and maybe-not-suprisingly La Pucelle
That’s why I’m THIS close to be angry that it appears like a cannon fodder sword but thank God it transforms
Mordred: “Wew that was close!” Kairi: “Don’t ‘wew that was close’ me that servant you called third rate just nearly deep fried you if I didn’t bail you out and now I’m tired”
Astolfo be like “My friend is dead, my other friend is dead too, my other other friend is also dead, and now I’m facing a terminator why God”
Sieg!Fried: *standing ominously under the moon* Mordred: “Master, he’s dead right?” Kairi: “Yeah I heard so” Mordred: “Well now we have The Walking Dead”
I think I just squealed hearing Sieg!Fried’s asking “Are you okay?” that sounds so gentle and so hot at the same time?????
Sieg!Fried: “Are you okay?” Astolfo: *blush* “Baka” Mordred: “GET A FUCKING ROOOMMMMMM”
I love how chill Kairi is when facing this anomaly he’s like “Dude, it’s magic war, anything can happen”
Mordred you don’t get to call Balmung a cosplay sword when Clarent also looks like a gigantic cosplay sword
And cut to Shakespeare giving comments as usual. Do Semiramis and Shirou have to watch every battle while listening to his narration?
HAHA Semiramis has to place her hand palms up because of the spikes WHY IS THAT SO FUNNY?
Hm I kinda don’t know what to make out from Shirou’s words but I presume it’s about Sieg should just live like a pure baby he is instead of letting that purity dyed in everything good and bad in being human?
If that’s so, it’s a big hint of Shirou’s goal, no?
Shirou’s practicing if-looks-could-kill without even trying
Semiramis and Shakespeares are such good friends to Shirou they notice him look evil in a matter of seconds
Shirou be like “I thought my feelings are all secret but guess not I should perfect my poker face” just like his servant. Truly a match of heaven.
Lol guys that boy you just declare worthless will be the final man standing against you lololololol
Indeed Shakespeare is the Genre Savvy™ as expected of THE playwright
Mordred: “Master what’s his weakness?” Kairi: “His weakness is ‘Do your best and find out yourself’” Kairi is such a lil shit I love him
And there you have it the first battle scene in the first episode
Y’know, the novel describes Balmung as emanating orange light like the twilight when activated but the very same novel also illustrates it with vivid blue light and it’s making me having the existential crisis since forever
Balmung vs Clarent Blood Arthur more like Let’s nuke each other
Aw they skip the calling the name of the noble phantasms if you ask me I prefer if they include it in this episode too
Oh now it’s Sieg’s command spell on the closing title and with completely different background and SCATTERED FLOWER IS THE TITLE OF THIS EPISODE THANKS FOR REMINDING ME AGAIN THAT IT HURTS ):
Fran’s dead, Caules cries, my heart really hurts
Trust me, the novel version is far worse than the animation. The narration from the moment Caules notices what he has to do to his reaction after her death is just painful. All the root cause of it all? It’s because they care for each other. Even he acknowledges that.
Oh yeah and also Fran dies with a little smile while speaking those words in the novel, kinda different vibe with the anime version
In the novel, the Siegfried’s flashback also reveals his one wish: To become an ally of justice a.k.a. the same dream possessed by the Kiritsugu and Shirou Emiya. Now it may differs from each person but for me personally, while it serves as a driving force to Siegfried’s character, it’s also yet another a form of homage (or maybe long running serious gag?) to both Fate/Zero and Fate/Stay Night. Whether it is good or not to omit that from the anime, I can’t really say....
NEXT: I think we need some Jeanne now. Hopefully not Naruto running again.
