Fate Stay Night 17th episode

Shirou's house is getting crowded now that Ilyasviel has moved to his house too. By the way now that Berserk has been defeated there are only four Servants remaining: Shirou's Servants Saber, Lancer, Caster and Assassin. Ilya reveals to Shirou that actually Assassin doesn't have a master, but he was summoned by Caster who is a witch from the ancient Greece. Moreover a friend of Shirou comes to visit him and tells him that a teacher of their, Kuzuki is living at Ryudouji, the same temple where Saber fought with Assassin.
Unfortunately Kuzuki is really a master and Caster is his Servant who teleports to save him. A battle starts but Kuzuki, unlikely other master, is a good fighter in close range, and after he had asked Caster to cast a spell on his fists he sends knock out both Saber and Rin using only his bare hands. The only one left is Shirou.
He cast the Enforce spell on a wooden stick transforming it in a sword, but it's useless aganist Kuzuki. So he remember Archer's swords and he tries to materialize them as he did with Saber's sword when they were fighting Berserk. With these swords he is able to fight back Kuzuki, but after a while Caster proposes to cease the fight and to become allies.

She says that would be easier if they'd collect together the mana from the people of the city and after having all embodied into a sacrifical magician they could control the Holy Grail and have they wishes granted by it.

The three of them refuses because it'd would claimed many victims, so Caster says she'll kidnap a magician and continue her plan by herself. Everybody thinks she's going to kidnap Ilya so they rush back home. They first one getting there is Saber, who finds Sakura unconscious, when she tries to help her Sakura stabs her with a dagger. Sakura is possessed by Caster and the dagger is cursed so Saber can't use her Noble Phantom anymore! Moreover since she comes from a family of magicians, she'll be the victim unless Shirou and the other don't go to the Ryudoji temple and rescue her.

Comments: This is a very nice episodes: the plot has scrolled and there's some fight, finally Sakura has some role too.I liked it very much.

Notes: "Shirou" should be pronunced in Italian as "Sciroo" and in English as "Shirow".

Soul-Link Episode 4

Even if the terrorist group Hallalax had successfully take control of the Space-Station Aries a bunch of Cadets hadn't been captured yet, they were: Ryota Aizawa, Sayaka Nagase, Shuhei Aizawa, Nao Morisaki, Shigemichi Morimoto, the instructor Cellaria Markelight and the suspicius Yuu Amanami who hadn't still revealed her name and they seized a block of the Space Station.
These one decided to hold a trap for the terrorist luring them to the bulkhead, killing one or two and then closing the door before they could enter. The trap succeded but both Shuei and Cellaria were lightly hurt. Nao who got worried about Shuei's wound noticed that one of the terrorist was still alive and she wanted to take him to the infirmary where she had a small flashback of when she met Shuhei and his younger brother Ryota.
Shuhei joined Nao at the infirmary but while she was removing the sticking plaster from the scratch on his face, the uncounscious terrorist became a blue gelatine and tried to attack them.However it seemed to evaporate soon.
Meanwhile Kazuhiko from the control center received a mail with a request for help from a civilian from another block of the station.
There was a small discussion about going to rescue him, Kazuhiko suggested that that could be a trap and that a soldier have to think about his own life, on the other hand Shuhei thinks that the first soldier's duty is to protect civilians. So Shuhei taked a small maintenance ship and went to rescue.
In the block he found Aki Nitta, a cadet, and Shigemichi Morimoto the vice-director of the space station. They told him they sent the mail and that they simulated an air-leakage to keep away the terrorists. When they came back to their block they found that Aki and Kazuhiko are siblings as they started quarrelling. Nobody noticed that the terrorist were getting ready to realiate...
