If Only These Bonus Episodes Were Slightly More Inconsequential is such a specifically Fish Sandwich criticism for Saber, and it made my day. Thanks!

Sure, Kento's got some valid defenses of Touma, but I think it's more that Touma is his childhood best friend, and Ren is some bratty kid from work. I don't think Kento was going to stand around while Ren disparaged Touma, no matter the justification.
