Unlimited Blade Works begins with… a lot of the same stuff as the last route honestly. But, we get to see Shirou’s miraculous personality rehabilitation, Saber managing to not immediately lose a fight without Shirou’s help, and Rin with goals other than ‘support Shirou’. The magic of a new route!

Next time we’ll be doing days 6-9 of Unlimited Blade Works!
