hmmm... I thought Saber'd be Guineviere. i guess it would be Arthur but the gender change would be a little... weird...

I think it'd be more fitting that Saber be more of one of Arthur's 'hidden knight bodyguards' who inherited his sword...

Of course, there could be a large lesbian paradox to the legend but then there's another theory...

All servants were designed to be opposite genders of their masters... Anyone notice this and wonder why? :\

Also, that could mean that though Saber is a woman, perhaps reincarnating doesn't mean 'exact' revival, but just being reborn with new bodies, same powers?

At any rate, it's fun in any case, so long as it doesn't get all kooky in the end...

Ehh, you may want to hold off at that.

could be spoilers, who knows wrote:At this moment, we don't who are Assassin's, Caster's, or Lancer's respective Masters are or what the Master's genders are.

This anime is created based an hentai-game. It seems simple enough an answer for me.

Episode 13.....*takes a deep breath*

OMG, EVIL, DEMONIC ILYA IS SO FU***ING KAWAII!!!!! Psycho loli, FTW!!!

*releases breath*

We got some interesting info in this episode especially when Shirou dreamt about Saber's previous life. He also makes a note that there are two swords in it as well. Hmmm.....

Saber's condition is seriously not well due to the lack of mana she has from her previous battle with Rider. Rin suggested to Shirou that he should use his command spell to force Saber to replenish her mana by attacking humans. Shirou was obviously in a dilenma so he went to the playground to think. Then suddenly, the evil loli Ilya appeared and told him that she knows Saber's weak condition. She then used to her magic to knock out Shirou, brought him to her room, and tied him to her chair for some......*ahem*

Ilya said to Shirou for him to become her Servent (for some odd reason), but he refused. She got rather pissed and went off to kill Saber at her weak state. Meanwhile, Saber, Rin, and Archer went through the forest and the episode ended when those three arrived at Ilya's house.

And for anyone who wondered what happened to Shinji, he got killed by Berserker. Ilya definetely showed no mercy with her enemies.

Next episode, Rin and Archer are back in action!!!

So we finally get to see Ilya's special ability, hypnotism. It makes sense, especially if you recognized her attire and heritage as Russian. Her hynoptic powers are probably drawn from the influence of Grigori Rasputin.

Hmm, for some reason, I thought her origin was German.

I would too with a last name of "von Einzbern." Illyasviel is a tough call though, anything with "Illya" would be Russian in my head. Her family must really get around.
