I gotta admit, Saber has done some really good world-building. While some may argue that the characters don't develop much throughout the series, a lot of the characters are already developed.
Buster has his whole other life with a wife and child. Slash looks young but has a past with a lot of the older characters. Ren has grown a lot, but I'm also interested in the previous Kenzan and how Ren became the protégé. This last "siege on the enemy base" thing only works when there are stakes and motivation, and just about every swordsman has a reason to be there and contribute. Yes, some are bigger and more important than others, but everyone's got a reason and that is enough. Great episode! Can't wait to see the finale. Also side note: is this episode's filming location the same as one of the Wizard crossover movies?

Something keep bothering me everytime I thinking about SoL. There's a lot of people there, and I believe its a swordman too. But the seiken is only that much. Once, I believed that they're just like nameless knight like in the ending of Garo Makai Senki, when they fight Idea. But, in Saber, either in Falchion movie or this episode, where there is a lot of combatant to fight, they never show up. Is it a plot hole, I missed something, or I've thinking too much?
For now, I'm doing a mind yoga that Isaac kill em all off screen just like what he did with the four sage. But now it raise a new question, How Isaac kill all the sages but beaten by cross saber, but cross saber can't do much with em? Ok. I need to sleep. Too much coffee. Sorry |

I think Saber's got a lot of holes in its storytelling like that, but thankfully they're for pretty minor details. I think you could easily explain away that they're dealing with Megiddo elsewhere or Solomon injured a lot of them or something; could have done with a few throwaway lines in the show but it's easy enough to imagine some explanations.
As for a real world explanation, I'd bet on their being given a heavily reduced role due to covid restrictions. It seems they were going to feature slightly more prominently from the scans we got mid-season.

In the case of other swordsmen we've seen that at the very least in the Southern Base Isaac all froze them. As for the Sages it was because they were all past thier prime and were very old when Logos got rid of them. Storius not restored back to thier youth but also gave them a power boost. Plus they probaly where backstabbed by Isaac

Forgot to mention this last week but, the Mooks are back!
Great episode, loved seeing everyone using their base forms (Calibur included), and Ren absolutely stealing the show. Seriously, he might actually be my favorite character at this point. Heck, everyone got to show off a good deal this episode, and that was a treat to watch. Even the music was phenomenal! And yep, boy do I feel dumb when I think about the importance of Mei at this point now, but dang, does she get to witness what is probably Touma's greatest masterpiece, which may just become the rumored Almighty Saber I've been hearing about. Zooos and Legiel even get to show up, kind of wish they got to play a bigger role in the story, but still. Not only that, we also got the two previous Calibur wielders showing up, and of course I didn't forget, Desast!!! That scene was an absolute masterpiece, made better by the fact that he got the first Sage kill. Next Week: Who get's to decide this story's conclusion- *Doesn't say Final Episode* Okay, never mind... Last edited by Daikaijuman54; 08-13-2021 at 08:42 PM.. |

You know while I always like Storious as a schemer, this episode and his conversation with both his former friends and Luna really gave him the development he needed to solidify his place as the final villain.
Also it was honestly really cool seeing all the swordsman fighting their hardest. The fact that we even brought back the Three Little Pigs book too as part of Kenzan's short combo with Slash was equally cool. Makes me hope we'll see Bremen and Jack this next episode with Daishinji and Ogami since I don't think I'll count Daishinji out yet. Two more episodes left (technically 3 but that one's a special episode) and I'm excited to see how this story concludes. |
