Episode Title:
Unlimited Blade Works.Episode Description:
During the battle, Shirou finds that while he is only barely able to hold off Archer's attacks, he is slowly becoming stronger the longer he clashes with Archer. Meanwhile, Kirei prepares to take Rin's heart against Shinji's protests. However, Lancer, mortally wounded but still alive, fatally stabs Kirei. Shinji, on the verge of insanity, takes this opportunity to try to molest Rin again, only to be chased off by Lancer. After freeing Rin, Lancer collapses to the ground and laments how he would have liked for Rin to be his Master. Both Rin and Lancer bid farewell to each other. As Rin leaves, Lancer sets a fire to destroy both himself and Kirei's corpse. Back at the main entrance, Shirou and Archer continue to battle, with Archer activating his Unlimited Blade Works and slowly gaining the upper hand. As their swords clash, Shirou begins to see Archer's memories and becomes aware of what his future holds in store for him. With his belief shaken, Shirou is quickly defeated by Archer and left on the verge of death. As he lies on the ground, Shirou begins to reflect on the memories he gained from Archer, as well as the memories of Kiritsugu saving him ten years ago. From this, Shirou concludes his ideals are not wrong, and he decides to continue fighting. At that moment, Saber's scabbard Avalon, which Kiritsugu had placed inside Shirou to heal the injuries he sustained from the fire, activates and heals Shirou's wounds. With his confidence in his ideals restored, Shirou prepares to battle Archer again, with the declaration that he will defeat Archer.
