"Go on until you're stopped."
It seems like using a condom would be against the spirit of a mana-transfer sex ritual.

You would think pulling out for a money shot would be against the spirit of a mana-transfer sex ritual too.

(Its not a mana transfer sex ritual, its a contract-creating ritual, which in full Nasu logic, requires emotional intimacy, not fluid transfer).

No it wouldn't, don't lie to yourself.

...yeah, probably. It probably would have also ruined the only redeeming part of it, which is that its awkward and hilarious.

All I'm saying is that some lube, condoms and cigarettes for afterwards would have resulted in 30 less paragraphs of Nasu making mollusk comparisons.

Incidentally, I've often thought that Shiki having unprotected sex with Akiha was a bad decision even for him. If they had a kid it would be at risk of having the Tohno and Nanaya versions of Inversion Impulse at the same time. That would be pretty horrible.

I'm okay with them doing that, they just need to invent some greater stakes for it, because it comes off as an asspull solution to just say "Rin can give Shirou mana without any consequences." They could just say it will also kill Rin if Shirou dies while using her mana or something.

It really isn't. What Nasu actually wrote into the game (for the equivalent of several pages per heroine) is about a billion times creepier.

They are actually super gratuitous, its just that there are so many of them in HF that even Nasu gets tired of writing about it so they switch from being essays about pots of meat to just being like "then we hosed and I went to bed."

They're insanely gratuitous and I take away points from all of them being plot relevant, because that makes them worse.

Luckily for ufotable I think the UBW stuff is easily the least plot relevant. They could easily retcon the mana contract-ritual into basically anything, even just a deep kiss (its anime and kissing is the same thing as graphic sex to most anime teenagers).

I just find it great that the Rin/Shirou scene in HA is just as hysterically awkward as you'd expect. (Their first failed date ends with Rin blowing up a hotel AC unit.)

The love life of Rin and Shiro is that of various bouts of destroyed property between awkward attempts at common romance. It's the greatest teen romance you could ask for.

Don't forget their friends, enemies, and everyone in between teasing them about it! That's important too.

Hell, in H/A they take poo poo about it from themselves from alternate dimensions. Yes, property destruction is involved.

battle moon wars is fun and the animations are amazing but it could have done with more of a crossover plot instead of playing whack-a-mole with resurrected baddies.

Nah it was ramping up for a good 30 seconds or so. Apparently they had a long low key intro just for this scene.

Or they turned down the volume, I don't know how exactly these sound things work. It's basically magic.
