Is there any master in the fifth war that even realizes the grails real purpose?

If anyone knows, it's Illya.

HF True is the best ending because it has the most Rider.

HF implied he was planning to wait until the next war to get involved, so presumably he'd just wait around and keep training Sakura until then? I don't think anything in Fate or UBW would stop another war from happening.

Rin and Waver destroy the greater grail for good at some point after each route.

As far as I know Arondight is completely made up and is way more modern in origin than anything else related to Lancelot. As far as his combat abilities go, no need to go into a big explanation about those. He was supposed to be the best knight and the only one who could beat Arthur in a sword fight. For another one of his abilities, his disguises are a reference to many stories about Lancelot using disguises, like in the story of Elain of Astolat.

But his qualification for the Berserker class comes from two things: his affair with Elaine of Corbenic, where Guinevere's rejection of his affair caused him to go mad with rage for two years until the Holy Grail cured him of it. The other part of it is rampage to save Guinevere from burning at the stake, which was in Monty Python when Lancelot just goes into that castle and starts going out of his way to kill everyone for basically no reason.

There's also another story where he uses a tree branch as an improvised weapon to defeat another knight. This is why anything he wields can become his noble phantasm.

I'm pretty surprised they're showing Gilgamesh talking to Kirei so freely. I haven't finished F/Z yet but I assume their relationship is established there?

Correct.

Gil not disappearing after the fourth war and his relationship to Kirei is made clear by the end of Fate/Zero.

Saber is Arturia

That reminds me, Shirou never learns Saber's identity in UBW. It's going to be kind of weird having Shirou being clueless about her identity when the audience already knows.

Did Assassin use Tsubame Gaeshi twice in UBW? The reason Saber was able to dodge it during the second fight was because she had bent his sword. She shouldn't have been able to just jump to the side to avoid it.

Saber's trusted knights were proven to hate her so much that they were driven to madness.

I don't think any of them hated her. Lancelot was driven to madness because when he was confronted about his betrayal, Saber just kind of shrugged it off and refused to admonish him.

He gets stalked by a battle nun that smells like curry, the only TV in the house is in the room of the maid that spikes his food, he has crippling anemia, and his sister won't let him sneak out of the house at night to hang out with vampires. Shiki has every right to be kind of a jerk.

We just have to wait until Nasu gets tired of milking Fate and Takeuchi gets sick of drawing Saber faces.

Alternatively, Takeuchi never gets bored of drawing Saber faces and every character in Tsukiremake is Saber.

Last I heard, the official answer to the question was that Shiki Tohno wouldn't be able to perceive a Servant's lines/points of death with his version of the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception.

Right, but by the time he's Satsujinki his eyes are so sensitive he has to wear a blindfold. The more Nasu says something can't happen the more likely it is to happen.

I made the mistake of reading about parallel worlds on the Type-Moon wiki because I wanted to know which stories existed in the same world. I cannot tell what is bad translation and what is just Nasu babble. I always though Tsukihime and Fate/Stay Night existed in the same world, but it sounds like they don't. Unless I'm reading this wrong, the wiki implies that Fate/Zero and Fate/Stay Night don't exist in the same world either. I think Nasu doesn't like to retcon things so he plays it safe by saying every story exists in its own little bubble.

The worst part of Tsukihime for me is that Akiha and Hisui got hosed when it came to endings, both of them were horribly depressing. So if the remake ever comes out them getting happy endings is all I care about.

Akiha's ending wasn't that depressing, and it gets expanded upon in KT.
