「最果ての海」 (Saihate no Umi)
“The Sea at the World’s Edge”
The banquet of kings concluded with a feast for our eyes and an emptiness in our hearts. We all knew it was going to happen, but the expectation did not diminish the epicness of the moment.

「海賊狩り」 (Kaizoki Gari)
“Pirate Hunting”
Turns out life as a pirate still involves the risking of life and limb, as Mouretsu Pirates begins with its final story arc with a bang. Literally. As in explosions.

「この世全ての悪」 (Konoyo Subete no Aku)

There’s never a dull episode in Fate/Zero, even when most of it revolves around character interactions on the eve of the final battle.

「暗殺者の帰還」 (Ansatsusha no Kikan)
“Return of the Assassin”
If I weren’t dead inside, I would have shed many a tear watching this episode, as it’s a hard dose of reality for everyone in Fate/Zero this week with each character coming face-to-face with what they really are, and the role they must play in the Fourth Holy Grail War. The episode also contains a great dichotomy – a doll masquerading as a human being, and a human being that calls itself a machine. However, nothing makes saying goodbye any easier.

「四人の絆」 (Yonin no Kizuna)
“The Bonds of the Four”
Seems as if this series is following up each major arc with two filler episodes, and contrary to the title, the first one of the pair actually wasn’t really about bonding at all.
