Last time on this podcast, we were kinda going easy on Shirou. Not so any longer. On this episode, we start getting to the section of the game where Shirou says some really whack shit about women, and he just doesn’t stop being bad. Thankfully, Archer and Rin are still here to keep him in check. This also marks the first time we really start to get to interact with Illya, which is…somewhat fraught. Our feelings on this visual novel are about to get a whole lot more complex.
