As for Archer encountering the Shadow, that could easily be a similarity to the Fate/UBW timelines; we don't know the details of what happened when Rin and Waver dismantled the Grail.

Also, Archer still has some "memories" of being a Counter Guardian, so if anything similar to Angra Mainyu ever shows up in the universes timeline, its possible Archer had to do cleanup after it. I seem to remember he even says something like "Maybe I can stop it this time", and if he hadn't stopped the Grail in his actual lifetime, he'd be dead before he could become a hero.

tl;dr Archer comes from your heart.

So, UBW good, I was always under the impression that the reason Rin could keep Saber around was because Shirou was providing her with a boost in mana through the mana-link-thing? Like, she probably would struggle on her own, but the not-quite-as-tiny-as-usual top up that post-UBW Shirou can provide allows her to do that plus have a bit of mana spare in case of actually wanting to do magic.

Of course, I haven't played the game in years, so I could be super wrong.

EDIT: Bonus points if centuries-old Saber shows up to the third grail war in person to try to stop the corruption from happening in the first place.



HMMMMMM!?

EDIT: But the story is Nasu cashing in all the sci-fi aspects of the Extraverse though, so if you're up for a wild ride then Extella may be what you want. You, uh, might be a little confused if you're not familiar with the events of Extra and CCC though.

Like "why is Gilgamesh helping me?" confused.

In that case, anyone know a good place to get a plot synopsis of CCC?

Played through Extra a while back, and was gonna wait to see if anyone did CCC in english, but screw hanging around when I could be playing VIDEOGAMES.

They are literally at the dead end of the game but rarely update so you will just have to read a plot synopsis to follow up on the rest of the story

I'm pretty sure Rin didn't kill Heracles at all with her gems?

Having recently reread the fate route (remember F/SN?), she definitely did - she blows off his whole goddamn head. There's even mention of some spinal fluid being splattered on Shirou, standing a good 20-odd foot away.

Its just by the time the smoke clears, his head has regrown.
