With the Fate route now behind us, we can finally move onto what is perhaps the most well-known of the F/SN routes: Unlimited Blade Works. This is the first route that Sierra and I ever saw (and the only one we were familiar with from start to finish), and we’re excited to see if the new context of the Fate route will change our previous impressions of UBW. I’m getting a little ahead of myself though. On this episode, we cover days 3 - 5, which establishes how the split occurs and what the new status quo will be. We’re also relieved to find that UBW Shirou is so, so much better Fate Shirou…even if he is still a big dummy.
