This episode is pretty easily one of the best ones so far. I’ve been wondering why Rider was named Rider. It is all revealed in this episode. Rider appears to have been defeated by Saber’s attack so this may be the last time Shinji will be around to annoy. We got to see Saber’s sword for the first time. Now that we know she wields the Excalibur we have an idea of her lineage. I’m not too familiar with the myth of King Arthur, but if I were to make a guess I would say Saber’s real name is Gyneth. Some new questions surfaced with this episode. For instance, why was Illya in the building where the fight took place and what was Rin doing outside of Sakura’s residence. At the end of the episode we see Sakura looking out the window when she muttered something. She must know something about this war if she’s not already part of it. I’m looking forward to the soundtrack for this series. I think it has some pretty nice instrumental BGM’s.
