Whatever is set to occur in Fate/Zero’s 24th episode, it certainly appears vicious – pre-release imagery is available, showcasing our protagonist pair of master and servant both bloody and engulfed in emotion.
Above one can see Saber as never before, she looks outright enraged – her eyes are sharp and piercing, mouth clamped with anger, and it’s difficult to imagine even a hint of what she could be so infuriated about. She’s been riled up before indeed – although never in a manner as this, a visage which seems as if preparing to kill out of spite, something perhaps seen only once within Fate/Stay Night.
Blood streams from her head and mouth, and her hair is notably in somewhat of a mess around the lower portion – she was fighting with Berserker when we last saw her within episode 23, yet something further must have happened beyond the simple scuffle which shook her up.
And below, in an ironic contrast, as Saber has turned exasperated, Kerry has begun crying – without a doubt he’s engaged in a heated battle, yet as seen here, he appears depressed, upset either by what he sees, or what he intends to do. One can see that he’s in motion based on his arm which is shot across the screen – and it’s worth mentioning that the blood on his face is splattered in such a fashion that it couldn’t have been his own, the direction of it is too inclined, with no visible point of origin.
The upcoming is clear – regardless of what the conclusion is, the last stretch will be punishment for all parties.

It that all? Is that all we get for pre-release images this week?
Well, I do know to which part each image refers to, and I think you’ll be somewhat surprised by it (at least concerning the Kiritsugu image).
Anyway, I wanted more of a taste of how they’ll handle what’s about to happen…

Dat Saber Pouting face.
You sir, have the perfect dp for that. Could not be more relevant. Makes me wonder if you were planning this from the start. xD
Jokes aside, I agree, even though playing through fate stay/night and watching the anime multiple times while stuck in bed for a week provided some insight, I still want to get my usual 3-4 pictures instead of just 2. Some people (me shamelessly included) can’t wait 40 hours for the actual anime episode to come out (in subs), and we’ve been deprived of 1/3 of what we usually get :c
Jun 15, 2012 @ 11:03 CDT
Eheh, I wonder if I should take the credit and spout “just as planned” or be humble and tell you it’s a mere coincidence…
Anyway, I couldn’t agree any more with your 2nd point. Nearly 2 days of waiting after the screencaps is almost unbearable and this week I even found myself counting down the days just to peek at those, so I was rather disappointed with getting only two images. :/ (I’ve also been playing through Fate/Saty Night and adding to that I’m fansubbing Fate/Zero in portuguese – more like translating UTW’s subs – but it’s still hard waiting this long.)
Jun 15, 2012 @ 17:06 CDT
This isn’t entirely related, but Portuguese is one language I really want to learn – need to add it to my collection at some point.
Jun 15, 2012 @ 17:35 CDT
Is that so? Well, I’m portuguese so that’s my mother tongue.
Anyway, how big is your collection, if I may ask? I actually have an interest in languages, though I haven’t had much opportunity to learn many.
Jun 15, 2012 @ 18:39 CDT
3 1/2.
Portuguese is also the mother tongue of another fraction of site visitors, and I would enjoy having this site in multiple languages.

MY INTERWEBS!!! THE EDIT BUTTON DOES NOTHING!!!
I also noticed that my “SS lab internship” has ended and I’m now a candidate. Coincidentally, I was just notified of my internship coming to a close.
Once again, is this all planned? o____o
Off topic but just felt like bringing up the ALL PLANED bits :3
Jun 15, 2012 @ 19:06 CDT
If the edit button is legitimately not working, I would appreciate it if you posted a topic about it in “The Forums”:
http://seventhstyle.com/lab/the-welcome-desk-group3/inquiry-circle-forum4/
Otherwise, you can only edit your comment if it’s still within 10 minutes after posting it, and no one else has commented after you.
Jun 15, 2012 @ 19:08 CDT
Also, gratz that you’ve become a candidate. At this rate, you might become a full-fledged lab member.
Jun 16, 2012 @ 1:19 CDT
Well, I know 2 1/2 (I can manage a simple conversation in French and I know pretty much all grammar rules but I’ve never practiced and my vocabulary is poor – I’m better at writing than speaking, too), so I guess I’m not so bad^^
Yeah, having the site in multiple languages would be nice, but wouldn’t it be meaningless unless you had the posts in multiple languages too? And that’s be a whole lot of work…
Also, like the user bellow said, the edit button isn’t working properly – the loading message appears forever and the Save button does nothing. I’m too lazy for creating a forum thread for it, though xD
Jun 16, 2012 @ 4:46 CDT
If you don’t mind, can you check if the edit button is functioning properly now?
Jun 16, 2012 @ 8:02 CDT
Checking…
EDIT: It’s working. It’s also a really nice feature, btw. No more double posts for correcting minor silly mistakes on my part XD
Jun 16, 2012 @ 14:59 CDT
Thanks for letting me know – I hope it proves useful for you.
Jun 15, 2012 @ 18:34 CDT
He’s going to realize he’s a sick murderer and start crying – then he’s going to find the kid protagonist from Fate/Stay Night.
Jun 16, 2012 @ 1:13 CDT
Nah, you’re a bit far (just a bit). Though I really hope he won’t find Shirou this episode, or it’ll pass from rushed to unimaginably rushed…
Jun 15, 2012 @ 9:20 CDT
Please don’t tell me that Kiritsugu is going to kill Saber, after she kills Berserker.
Jun 15, 2012 @ 18:19 CDT
He’s going to grill her like a cannibal and eat her.
Jun 15, 2012 @ 18:58 CDT
With a side of some Carnival Phantasm for the omnomomomomoms.
And I also would like to see that dance from the CP’s OP. Quoting a roommate of mine:
|It’s so cute it gives me diabetes, cancer, and an uncontrollable desire to just start shaking.
Jun 15, 2012 @ 9:31 CDT
Did anyone read the light novel, because I didnt, and can someone tell Kiritsugu doesn’t kill Saber, because if he does, then were gonna have some problems… Lol
Jun 15, 2012 @ 17:33 CDT
Kiritsugu doesn’t kill Saber. I can bluntly tell you that, but anymore would be spoilers.
Jun 15, 2012 @ 10:22 CDT
Ahhh finally..its about time..but just two images….well quality is better than quantity….kiri looks to be in a mix of emotions..angry and sad…saber just looks well enraged…cant wait…
Jun 15, 2012 @ 18:20 CDT
With most series, you don’t even get one image.
Jun 15, 2012 @ 18:59 CDT
But it’s not our fault D:
The studio has been slacking off the PrntScr button. We just want what we usually get ’3′
Jun 15, 2012 @ 19:10 CDT
“We just want what we usually get”
Which is nothing.
Jun 15, 2012 @ 19:21 CDT
Usually nothing less than 3 pictures :3
Jun 15, 2012 @ 17:58 CDT
Welcome to Rush Valley guys.
Unless this week’s episode is 48 minute long

Seriously, if I see the OP playing this week I’ll rage.
Jun 16, 2012 @ 4:23 CDT
Only a matter of hours now…

Grass grows, birds fly, sun shines, and brudda, I defy gravity.
