The content of Episode 11 follows imdiately from the end of the previous episode.
Tohsaka Rin falls into a crisis during her battle with Illya; at the critical mont, Archer's support attack destroys Illya's magic and allows Tohsaka Rin to retreat successfully.
She realized it was also difficult to win by defeating the Master, so she turned her gaze back to the battlefield of Saber and Berserker and rushed over there.
Upon arriving at the battlefield where the two were, she discovered that Emiya Shirou had actually followed her.
Tohsaka Rin angrily rebuked him, wanting him to run away, but Emiya Shirou remained firm in his stance.
"I know, but I can't run away. Saber is fighting, I can't just leave like this."
"
—That's a line for when you can stand on your own.
Right now, you can't do anything; staying here will only result in a worthless death.
One last warning: stay out of it and run, quickly!"
"
I can't do that.
Besides, as long as I have my body, I can definitely do sothing.
Tohsaka, would you leave sothing you can't do to soone else?"
Tohsaka Rin was persuaded and agreed to let Emiya Shirou stay; anwhile, a shocking reversal occurred in the battle between Saber and Berserker.
It turned out that Saber had intentionally lured Berserker to the cetery, using the terrain obstacles to fight him on equal footing, and the battle between the two beca increasingly intense.
Just then, Tohsaka Rin suddenly received a ssage from Archer, telling her to stay away from the battlefield.
The scene cut to a distance, where Archer was drawing his bow again to launch an attack, but this ti the attack seed different from before.
The arrow Archer was preparing to fire this ti was a longsword twisted into a spiral shape.
On the other side, Tohsaka Rin was sowhat confused by Archer's words, while Emiya Shirou suddenly felt an intense threat and imdiately rushed toward Saber!
anwhile, Saber caught an opening in Berserker's movents during the battle, knocking him into a brief stun and preparing to launch a real attack.
However, in the next mont, her attention was suddenly drawn to Emiya Shirou, who had rushed onto the battlefield.
"Saber—!"
"Shirou?! Why did you rush out—!?"
Emiya Shirou didn't have ti to explain, he just kept pulling Saber's hand to flee the area; at the sa ti, Archer launched his attack.
An arrow like a teor streaked across the night sky, looking extrely magnificent, and finally fell toward Berserker.
At this mont, Berserker also felt the threat, and actually forced his body to twist while stunned, violently swinging his blade to et the incoming arrow with all his might.
Boom—!
In the double-page spread at the end of the manga, from a distant perspective, a massive mushroom cloud suddenly rose from the forest, just like a nuclear explosion!
In his previous life, Archer had the nickna "nuclear bomb sword immortal" on the internet.
This was because in online discussions, so people believed Archer could infinitely project nuclear bombs—a nuke in one hand and a shield in the other, making him invincible.
Because of this, Archer was also dubbed one of the "Four Kings of Type-Moon" in the early days.
—
And in the UBW ani version, ufotable indeed animated this arrow of Archer's with a nuclear-like explosion effect, completely solidifying this title.
As for the original work, the art depicting this attack was just a simple flash of white light.
Besides this part, the UBW ani version also added an original plot where Saber used an unknown attack to kill Berserker
for one of his lives.
But he ultimately chose to present it according to the original story.
After all, in his planned storyline, Saber would have many highlight monts later, but Berserker could only show off his might in this segnt.
In the subsequent plot, Berserker would only beco a powerful "sea of HP target."
According to the "Chekhov's Gun" principle, a character set with self-healing abilities will definitely be injured frequently in battle;
and a character set with resurrection abilities will definitely experience death at least once.
From the mont Uncle B was set to have the "Twelve Labors" ability, his fate to beco a "training dummy" was already sealed.
So, let Uncle B have a bit of glory for now, and don't let Saber steal any more of his spotlight.
As soon as this chapter was released, it imdiately sparked heated discussions online.
In particular, the nuclear bomb attack caused by Archer received the highest level of attention.
Furthermore, Archer's identity sparked another wave of discussion, and this ti so people turned their gaze toward the great hero of ancient Persia, Arash.
In legend, the arrow Arash fired with all his might at the cost of his life flew 2,500 kiloters, thereby demarcating the border between Persia and Turan and ending a sixty-year war between the two countries.
If it were Arash, it would be natural for him to fire an arrow of such power.
However, in the previous chapters, Archer had shown the ability to use dual blades for close combat, which was not reflected at all in Arash's legend, so this speculation did not gain much consensus.
anwhile, judging from Archer's words and actions in this and previous chapters, he seems to harbor a mysterious hostility toward Emiya Shirou and Saber
which is also quite puzzling.
In short, the personality and decisiveness of Emiya Shirou, the intense battle between Saber and Berserker, and Archer's stunning arrow—
all of this made this chapter highly acclaid.
It's certain that the shōsei results for this chapter will be very good.
Apart from the situation with "Fate/stay night," there was another piece of good news worth ntioning for Akira—
In the living room, Akira was seriously checking the drawing work of the "Weathering with You" manuscripts.
Although he possessed absolute mory and logically wouldn't make any mistakes, he still habitually checked through them seriously, which could also be seen as a sense of ritual.
Rin stood beside him, quietly waiting for him to finish the check.
For so reason, her mood inexplicably beca a bit nervous at this mont.
Finally, as the last manuscript page was returned to the bottom of the stack, he took a deep breath and smiled, "Then I announce that the drawing work for 'Weathering with You' has been successfully completed!"
"That's great!"
Rin relaxed and showed a bright smile, equally happy about the completion of "Weathering with You."
This was her first ti encountering and participating in the manga creation process; it wasn't just helping Mochizuki-kun, but also a rare and novel experience for her.
And—
Recalling the content of "Weathering with You," Rin found it hard to describe the emotion in her heart with specific words for a mont.
Thus, she could only use the simplest words to praise from her heart, "Mochizuki-kun, this manga is really wonderful!"
"Thank you."
Akira smiled upon hearing this, also feeling sowhat emotional.
From designing the storyboard for "Weathering with You" starting last month on August 15th—a short manga totaling 217 pages—to finally finishing the drawing today on September 22nd.
Even excluding the ti spent drawing Fsn and other miscellaneous tasks, the actual working ti must have been over a month.
This was undoubtedly the largest project in terms of workload he had drawn so far.
Although Fsn had a larger overall volu, he only needed to draw one chapter a week—about twenty pages—whereas this ti he drew over two hundred pages in one go, a completely different experience.
Anyway, he could finally hand it in now.
