    If the scabbard was in plain sight during the summoning it's no wonder she saw it

    (that only happens in the anime though?)

    I'm not sure how the translator even got "this" out of あの in that context, lol.

    And the choice of the word "discomforting" is a little misleading. It's more along the lines of "displeasing."

    Well its Saber talking and this makes it so she knows that they used the scabbard to summon her. Or are you saying Saber is claiming the scabbard as a right of kingship kind of deal, like "How dare he say I'm not King Arthur, I used to have Avalon and all that shiz".

    A lot of funky things happen when Japanese -> Chinese -> English.

    More the latter. The proceeding bit is about Avalon and Excalibur, the things that made up the legend of King Arthur, like it's a thing brought up before, and that Saber's going, "No, I definitely am the one that legend is talking about, why so sexist?"

    Everyone, start a kickstarter so we can pay Reiu to translate Fate/zero from Japanese to English and destroy all uncertainty.

    I remember I went around insisting that Zouken was posing as Kariya's uncle and parroting a line from the translation that said Zouken was listed as "the brother of Kariya's father", but then I saw the Japanese line and it said "the father of Kariya and his brother". Even お父さん became "uncle" somehow.

    If the crest worm with the pieces of the grail was what made Sakura a grail vessel, why was she still a vessel after she ripped it out?

    I thought she only removed the worm; the pieces of the Grail had probably merged with her actual body already.

    Grail pieces were the worm, dawg.

    "Yes. I embedded the Holy Grail within her. But I am no monster. I made sure she can function as a human. I knew it would be painful to have an inorganic substance in her, so I turned the shard of the Holy Grail into a living thing."



    With that, her body became a container to receive the souls. It became a tool to become the gate when the ritual is completed.
    It is just a copy of the Holy Grail the Einzbern family makes.
    Well, I do not have as much skill as them, so I did about an eighth my own way."

    He's so proud of himself.
    He never sleeps. He never dies.

    Battle doesn't need a purpose; the battle is its own purpose. You don't ask why a plague spreads or a field burns. Don't ask why I fight.

    I like how Zouken's biggest achievement since creating the Command Spell system that only sometimes works and was trumped by the Einzberns is that he took Einzbern property and...turned it into worms. Such a strange Arch Magus.

    He also figured out a way to bring back a Servant's combat capabilities without its mind, as well as turning the Einzbern's grail into his own mini-grail, in significantly less than ten years.

    It almost makes you wonder if Zouken could have just been collecting dead Servant's over all the Grail Wars and then just uses them as he sees fit.

    Experiment #4346 at reviving the Makiri line: "I wonder what'll happen if I fuck a bunch of hero corpses? Can't hurt, right?"

    Happy Mother's Day, Kariya.
