Kay, have you already steeled yourself for the time when jack shanks semiramis' womb inside out?

Shiroumine will protect her. ;-;

What he said.
We're talking about someone with the name Kotomine. Plus, all Servants have to be killed for one to claim the Grail. She's gone unless he's got a hero complex over his Servant.

I think it's safe to assume they knew as best as you could reasonably expect a human being to know the thoughts that were going through the two men's heads since Reika is experinced with these kinds of things, they are fictional characters and knowing a person's character perfectly upon the first meeting is just a thing they can do, and most importantly he was reaching to grab her in a dark alley without announcing himself.

That doesn't leave much else.

Or uses a Command Seal to make sure she survives in case he could still use her talents.
Handy things, those. I wonder why more Masters don't make smart use of them.

RPG Player mentality.

If I use this now, I won't have them when I need them more. Must avoid using them.

That sort of thing.

... I can kind of understand that, actually. xD

But seriously. It's a valid point.

[Lycodrake]

I'm laughing because everyone has already made up their minds about how Semiramis and Kotomine Shirou interact, act/behave, and who they will encounter.

Jack VS Atalanta, greusome battle is go. :V

[Break]

Maybe the fact that one can avoid using two command seals as the story dictates in fate/extra and it changes abaolutely nothing is really a jab at that...

Atlanta is female, Jacky should by all means autowin.
My guess for her death is beeing offed by Astolfo after bher NP failing because she'll mistake him for a girl.

Or that you are supposed to use both since you are fighting god damn Lu Bu. But then gamers are hardcore and stuff.

[Break]

You lost me Beg your pardon?

There is an event in the story to save either Rin or Rani that wants you to use one command sprll to teleport to them and another to survive a short fight against Lu Bu. You can choose not to use the second command seal and survive him somehow else, but it changes nothing for the story and you cant use it anywher else.

Re: Reika and Jack: They were bad dudes who meant harm, but Reika was deliberately baiting the hook to torture a guy to near-death to ask a few minor questions, at which point she went off and butchered a bunch of other people. She didn't kill them to make the world a better place or in pure self-defense. She orchestrated the event to feed a serial killer.

These two are only getting as much of a pass as they do because they're a pair of cute girls.

Re: Shirou and Semiramis: Yeah, it's way too soon to say. Maybe they'll be a Kirei and Gilgamesh sort of pair that works together wonderfully in the name of schadenfreude. Maybe they plan on betraying each other in the end, only agreeing to spare each other until they're down to the last few players.

For what it's worth, though, I hope for the second. Too many people are enamored with the idea that Shirou has some special place in his heart for her and will do anything to protect her.

I'm hoping for one of those, too. Not sure which one just yet, but either way.

That's not really true, is it? You only need to kill all the Servants if you're trying to get to the Root.

By the way, it wasn't stated that Shiro is married? Why should care about Semiramis more than as expendable servant.
About Shiro's wife, I heard that it's Caren. Is that true?

Nope. Aaaaaand, nope.

[hinode]

Shirou's wife is 100% product of Chinese whispers on English speaking sites like /a/ and has no basis in the actual text.

The fact that this managed to spawn actual Caren vs Sakura shipwars was pretty hilarious in real time and even moreso in hindsight.
