It’s now official, Kotomine has to die. Death is too lenient of a punishment for someone who nearly killed Rin. On the bright side, it’s good they didn’t let Rin die or else it would have been an outrage. Kotomine’s plan all along was to sacrifice Illya. At least that solves the mystery of what signifinace she had left in the story. As expected, both Saber and Shirou appear to be in a losing battle against Gilgamesh and Kotomine respectively. With the way things are going right now, Saber won’t be able to stay with Shirou in the end. Of course, Shirou does have one final seal left to use. There’s only one episode left in the series. The preview appears to give much of the ending away, but I still look forward to it nevertheless.
