    A Servant needs a physical anchor to be summoned, like say a Master with a corporeal body, or a big ass gate.

    That doesn't mean a contract requires a physical anchor.

    Thanks for the clarification. Now that you say that, wasn't this issue mentioned in both the anime and VN scene where Caster blows up Kojiro's chest cavity because of his snarK?

    If it just needs to be something that exists in this world couldn't she just pick something small and easy to move as the anchor?

    Also, I really enjoyed the Tokiomi and Kayneth giving Illya a run for her money comment.

    I just said it, she doesn't need an anchor because she's already summoned, there just needs to be a contract holder.

    Would Caster have been able to use Kuzuki as a jury rigged anchor for Saber?

    Just saw your post sorry!

    "…Impossible. Why are you here, Assassin…!? Caster summoned you. You cannot exist since Caster is gone…!"
    "That should be the case for normal Servants. But I am a bit special. It is not a person, but this land that is binding me.
    Masters are the hosts which keep you in this world. It is this mountain in my case."
    The moment you lose your anchor you start bleeding prana. It's not a one off thing, it's continuous.

    So if all the Servants died and Sasaki found another way to get magical energy could he just stay at the gate forever?

    What does SR mean?
    It's above Rare and below Super Super Rare.
    Or it's the highest rarity. Depends on the mobage.

    Yes.
    Basically the anchor is your passport and Gaia checks your passport every second. If you don't have your passport then you get deported.

    I think the Tokiomi part and Kayneth part are removed from the First-Class magus.
    Like First Class Magi do this. If it's, Kayneth and Tokiomi they could wreck her. etc.

    Nasu Full disclosure, he was a "Capsule Servant!"
    Takeuchi I've always thought that Shirou had been getting a bit weird, so that's what it was!
    Oh my.

    What? I thought Gaia is constantly breathing at each Servant's neck and constantly checking whether or not a Servant has an anchor.

    why doesn't Gil just put a shit ton of portals in front of him? He'd be immune to projectiles and people wouldn't be able to get close to him since they'd fall in.

    also why doesn't Shirou just trace the key to GoB

    Yeah I'm almost certain they need a permanent anchor usually a Master in order to stay in the world. Hence why Medea was so close to dying before Kuzuki found her.

    Because the vault is Gil's.

    And Shirou only sees the key in one route.

    And it's not a close combat weapon.

    GoB depends on your riches. So if Shirou used it there would be nothing in his vault to shoot.
    Also why would Gilgamesh want filth like you falling into this vault.

    Read the strange/fake translated Gilgamesh chapter.

    The key is useless.

    I'm assuming Gate of Babylon has an activation cost however slight it is.

    Shirou projecting the key would only leave him with a Key that can't do anything since shirou doesn't have the vault so to say.
