He's so fucking irrelevant they didn't bother to let you know who killed him in Fate.

>develops a master sword technique

Pic related, look at this big bad motherfucker, you'd have to train for decades to kill one of these things if you didn't want to use a slingshot. Based Sasaki Kojiro.

>>117443108
There's nothing wrong with using that name. He represents the legend of Sakaki Kojiro, the real one didn't even exist.

there are seriously way to many "undodgebal one hit kill" moves in fate/stay night.

Instinct skill.

At high enough levels you can dodge almost every attack after seeing it once.

For anyone that has read F/HA here:

How long is it? It doesn't feel like it can be that long from what I've read so far. Besides there aren't routes.

Too bad she didn't see it once.

Also, Tsubame Gaeshi is literally unavoidable, it doesn't matter if you "predict" it. It's like Gae Bolg except without fate-warping so even luck won't save you.

In the VN he only used the 2-strike variant which can be dodged if you're good enough, but in the anime he used the three strikes which is unavoidable.

Iskandar, King of Conquerors is more based.

>>117443492

Nasuverse Swallows have Instinct EX and Agility A++, motherfucker.

>>117443685
She didn't dodge it. Her instinct showed her what would happen, so she blocked it.

For some reason Assassin's sword isn't sharp enough to cut her armor. That, or he wasn't serious, and he'll reveal it in their last showdown.

>>117443685
Ufotable fucked up.
Suprise.
Also Luck being able to protect from Gae Bolg is condensed bullshit

>>117443685
It's unavoidable but it's not a one hit kill like Gae Bolg. Saber just moved to tank it with her armor.

>>117443745
>It's unavoidable but it's not a one hit kill like Gae Bolg. Saber just moved to tank it with her armor.

It is meant to be a one hit kill, each swing is a lethal attack, blocking it with her armor is bullshit and makes Assassin no where near as big of a threat as before. Ufotable simply fucked up again

Why? AS long as you aren't autistic like that guy it should be fine.

>>117443830
>It is meant to be a one hit kill, each swing is a lethal attack
How can a regular sword be a one hit kill against a servant? Archer tanks fucking gate of babylon to shield shirou and doesn't die.

>>117443903
2nd magic.
Don't ask questions

>>117443517
A noname farmer wrecking Saber is much more badass than Sasaki Kojiro doing it.

>>117443903
Healing rapidly takes up a ton of mana, something that is a big deal for Saber at this point in the story.

>>117443903
The same way that cutting off your head and slicing your body into two is lethal.

>>117442955
That scene was 10/10 voiceacting.

But saber had to open her mouth... I wonder if it could be fixed with some video cutting.

Interrupting her mid-sentence would be even more delicious.

>>117443903

Second magic makes the sword exist in 3 places at once but it doesn't make it any stronger.
>>117444061
You have to destroy the core to kill a servant and they're extremely tough, specially Saber.

Again, tsubame gaeshi is unavoidable but not a one hit kill because washing pole isn't a noble phantasm but a regular katana.

>>117444310
Servants still die if you cut off their head

It wasn't a fair fight

Assassin had his AIBO backing him up

He didn't merely want to kill it, he wanted to cut it down, mid flight, with a sword. He even acknowledges it's stupid, but he kept on doing it.

>>117444746
>>117445205
Different concepts. Fake Assassin isn't Kojiro, but he existed.

>>117445189

He'd fight with two swords, but his noble phantasm would obviously be taking out a boat oar.

>>117445244
>>117445262

Mind's Eye (Fake) rank A. Kojirou is perfectly equipped to deal with an invisible opponent, and Shuwen has no means of closing distance or defending from his tremendous sword.

>>117445189

I bet the story about the oar would grant him a Noble Phantasm of the same sort of nature as Lancelot's Knight of Honor, with a few twists of its own. Something like being able to grasp everyday objects and reclassifying them as a "sword", giving them durability and cutting ability worthy of legendary katana.

Or something like that.

>>117445189
Musashi was also very famous for throwing swords at people, so according to Nasu, he would be an Archer.

The word autistic is an old word, some may call archaic. It was originally a phrase of two words. Au-Tastic.

Au [ohw] comes from the Greek word for pain.
Tastic [tah-stick] from the Greek word for man.

The term was thought to have been originally coined during the Roman invasion of Athens in 138BC to refer to the Roman general Sulla who nearly destroyed the whole of Greece. They called him "The man who brings murder." Autotasticusius. Later it was shortened to Autastic.

Although the meaning of the use of the word had been lost over the years, it was again popularized by Benjamin Franklin in the second draft of the Declaration of Independence in the line most famously quoted "We hereby declare independence from the Empire of Britain and its King of Autists"

Swords are dangerous, so don't be autistic with them.

But his sword did cut through her armor twice during the fight, first when she tried to grab his blade, it cut her through her gauntlet, and the that single Tsubame Gaeshi cut that landed penetrated her armor as well, but it promptly regenerated due to it being magical.

So Fake Assassin's blade is sharp enough to cut through Saber armor, but with skillful use she can use it to soften the attacks and avoid critical wounds.

Assassin is a word rooted in the old-english word for donkey. "As" Thought to date back to the formation of early England, it is also used colloquially to mean bottom.

Ass ass in is thought to have been used by the homosexual community as far back as 360 AD to mean "Ravage my anus you viking barbarian scoundrel!" Of course, much is left open to interpretation as Vikings were not known to be seen in night clubs until the late 1400s.
