And please, before some of you start complaining about the size of this episode, know that we here at UTW love you and would never troll you with giant filesizes unless the episode really needed it!
No, seriously. Practically the whole episode was dark and filled with plenty of action, both of which guzzle up bitrate like no other. I’m sure you’d rather spare an extra hundred megs or so of disk space than watch cubes jumping around and fighting— oh wait…
At any rate, please enjoy the episode. Next episode should be jaw-droppingly fabulous.
EDIT:: Many of you have asked what sort of changes I make to the Aniplex script. Please refer to this report for information on this matter.

    I dont see how in 2011 a 500mb file is considered big, it takes me about 10 min to download it and i have a mediacore internet speed. Anyway at last the first battle. Thanks a lot

  7. shandris on October 23, 2011 at 12:10 am said:

    I bought 2tb hdd few days ago so don’t give a shit about size rly. Thx for your relase <3

  8. Well that was fast, thanks again! 😀

  9. I have never waited for a specific release before in my life. Today I found myself waiting for this one instead of downloading Commie’s. I want to congratulate you, as it is no small accomplishment to get me to wait for an episode when I know I can get it somewhere else. “UTW” has been engrained into my mind since I started watching anime, and I’ve never had a single complaint about your encodes/subs.
    As far as the file size goes, 500MB is fine if that’s the upper limit. The 10-bit encoding sure helps with that (file sizes in general) anyways. Keep up the good work!

  10. zerodriver3 on October 23, 2011 at 12:14 am said:

    Thank you, I’ve been waiting!:D

  11. For people who didnt know this, UTW and Commie are working together for Fate/zero, in some ways some of the translation may be different, SO lets just say they are childhood friends

  12. @Daniel
    Well no, we each do our own releases, but we are friends yes.

  13. Yay! Thank you, UTW. You perform miracles, whensoever you publish a new Fate/Zero episode! I’m so glad – I can’t describe it …

  14. Asshole on October 23, 2011 at 12:27 am said:

    You guys cant encode for shit

  15. sylv3rblade on October 23, 2011 at 12:27 am said:

    I literally jumped from my seat when my torrent client popped downloading [UTW] Fate Zero – 04….. *pokes utorrent to go faster*

  16. Wow, they just keep talking and talking, don’t they?

  17. “both of which guzzle up bitrate like no other”
    no sorry, you might fool some of the retards here, but the truth is you can’t encode even if your life depended on it

  18. just out of curiosity since you mentioned filesize but, wouldn’t you guys be able to use ordered chapters just like you’re doing with C³?

  19. This episode probably would’ve come out at around 700MB if encoded in 8-bit with the same settings. Of course, it goes without saying that lowering the bitrate any further would result in sugoi(TM) video quality. You might as well just watch the Share raws.
    @ wadauo
    Ordered chapters are only useful for reducing filesize if the thing being spliced out is 1) repeating in every episode and 2) takes up a disproportionately large portion of the final filesize. Splicing the OP and ED from Fate/Zero isn’t going to help much, since it is the episode itself that is eating up all the bitrate.

  20. 500MB is large?

    Also, thanks for the partial “changelog”, for some reason I love reading that kind of stuff.

  27. A weeks been passed already? :O Damn time goes fast! Can’t download this till Midnight due to bandwidth being almost gone. 🙁

  28. Silencers on October 23, 2011 at 1:40 am said:

    WHAT? HALF A GIG FOR A TV RIP EPISODE? THIS IS AN OUTRAGE. IT’S NOT LIKE TERABYTE DRIVES ARE CHEAP THESE DAYS, YOU KNOW. YOU SUCK AT ENCODING VIDEO AND (insert generic childish tantrums here).

  29. I’m glad this was done in 10-bit, all those dark scenes would have caused some really bad banding

  30. Hahahahaha reading some of the comments makes me laugh. XD People saying _ar doesn’t know how to encode are so fucking full of themselves. You should be thanking him that he doesn’t want to butcher the quality and wants to give the best quality release available. Sometimes episodes are 500MB FUCKING DEAL WITH IT. If you knew ANYTHING about encoding you’d know exactly why the filesize is what it is after reading the post and/or watching the episode. /Rant.

  31. Fantastic quality. UTW, I love you. Please continue with the early releases and superb quality.

    My one complaint is the 10-bit thing with Fate/Zero. I can’t resize it to reduce the file size cause the picture gets all messed even with my updated codecs.

  36. very awesome battle, very awesome quality UTW! many thanks! i even downloaded both HD and SD from you, one for my iPad 😀

    Rider: “LOOK AT MEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!111!1!11!1!”
    Christ on a hand basket, 12 minutes spent on nothing but dialogues, shit-ritsugu and the wuss, piece of nobody Waiver.
    NEXT EP BETTER BE HALF OF WHAT YOU PROMISED, UTW.

  38. UTW, THX for the awesome episode.
    To be honest, I wouldn’t mind downloading a 1GB episode if it were at the quality as this one!
    Way to go !!!
    PS. I was watching it on a 46″ LED 1080p TV and for a sec, I thought this was a blu-ray quality release. Go for 1GB next episode 😛

    Rider is really looking attention, uh?
    But one thing I really want to see (besides the lolis) is the “Dark Knight” and his battle with saber!

    I don’t care about the size xD Thanks for this EPIC episode of this EPIC anime.

  41. @EcchiSkecchi
    That “Dark Knight” may appear next episode judging from the the next episode’s title.

    Hah, still love Alexander. Don’t know if this has been answered before, but why in the hell are they calling him Iskandar. That is the Persian name for him, so I dun get it.

  43. Every week is a happy week because of you guys =D Thank you to all the staff of UTW! I love you guys too! ^-^

    @Anfy
    But really, talking about Knights there have to be the famous Dark Knight!
    I’m well aware of who he is, but I’d like I didn’t know so that I could enjoy more.
    And also [spoiler]Using a telephone as his noble phantasm? I’m dying to see it [/spoiler]

  46. I could give two f**ks less about the file size, honestly, as long as you guys keep doing what you do so well, I’ll keep getting my subs from the excellent UTW team.
    [spoiler]So I felt the main fight was rather….lackluster at points. BUT, it also felt more “real” than some other over-the-top sword-fights I’ve seen *cough* Unlimited Blade Works *cough*.[/spoiler]

  47. A+++ transaction UTW, item as described, would buy again
    Fuck yeah, Iskandar! Showboating as expected. The dude is an MVP! It’d be cool if Bluebeard showed up, only to have Rider plow his noob ass down in that chariot while giving some kind of “I’M GOING TO CONQUER YOU AFTER I GUZZLE THIS LITRE OF BEER IN ONE GULP” speech to the knights. :p

    >episode, know that we here at UTW love you and would never troll you with giant filesizes unless the episode really needed it!
    So, how the heck is the SD one 1/5 the size? No matter, I still have about 400+GB on m external HDD. Now, to see if the hype for the show is justified.

    > 500mb file is considered big, it takes me about 10 min to download it
    > medicore internet speed
    I’m in a Uni campus where it takes me between 1/2 hour to an hour avg to get 500MB files, which is hella lot better than my internet speed back home and you’re telling me that YOU have medicore internet speed?

  49. [spoiler]oh shit dude things are about to get REAL! Alexander the Great storms the battlefield!
    oh and….since the injuries from Gae Buidhe don’t heal, does that mean that Saber is crippled for the rest of this war or does it get healed if Lancer dies? I mean it’d be interesting if she had a handicap but she seems kinda inexperienced.[/spoiler]

  50. yay! thanks guys! now my sudnay will be complete ifyou dont forget to make the release post again when finishing C³^^

  51. thewizardninja on October 23, 2011 at 7:29 am said:

    @Huh
    It stays until Lancer dies. And Saber is far from inexperienced, as you should have been able to tell from this very fight.

  52. w4nder on October 23, 2011 at 7:44 am said:

    hey guys, I wanted to know why the fate zero releases I have been downloading from UTW have been all pixelated funny. it is just me? I have been dling eps from several fansubs including the UTW Kamisama no Memochou and have had none of these problems. Are the raws you guys using poor quality? it seems like the file is only 98% complete.. I have redownloaded them twice to verify and they are consistently not clear in several scenes. thanks!

  53. i wonder if saber’s first fight is against lancer in every single grail war? it might be fate…. literally..

  54. @w4nder no, its just that your media player is poor quality and cant properly play the 10-bt encode. these epiosdes are all encoded in 10-bit insetad of the old 8-bit; taht saves filesize while keeping great quality. basically, you have two options: either update your media player to a proper one (refer to hudnreds of comments in the first episode of fate/zero for this) or use the avi-version. i recommend updating your player.

  55. <3333333333333 ops c3. 😀

  56. EcchiSkecchi on October 23, 2011 at 8:06 am said:

    @Break
    Lol, good observation. But in the previous war (before this), was her in it? Would be funny she confronting lancer as well. Maybe the master also thought that lancerxsaber is a good idea. Which is fucking truth. Since the two lancer had an curse like noble phantasm and the two managed to hit her (anyways Shirou was noob and that’s why she was got but by gae bong, but whatever)
    Also if you took note it seems in the two wars there’s someone crazy to scream “I’m an hero my name is/ My hero name is “. In Fate Stay Night Illya told Heracles name at the beginning an Alexander planned to say his name to all servants at once at at the beginning (but managed only two)
    @w4nder
    problem is 10 bit support. Either update you codecs or do it:

  57. >I’m sure you’d rather spare an extra hundred megs or so of disk space than watch cubes jumping around and fighting— oh wait…
    I lol’d.

  58. @EcchiSkecchi well, we wont know unless someone makes an official Prequel focusing on the third war, too, i guess… maybe kotomine just fouund it humourous to let them fight sicne the two lancers are so much alike.. then again, he couldnt possibily have planned it to go like that.. sicne saber’s summon was more or less a coincdence, at least not soemthign you coudlve planned i guess..
    well if it comes down to it, iskander and heracles are half-brothers after all (both are sons of zeus- its canon that heracles is, and in iskanders/alexanders case, tis kidn of a half-canon, it snot as well-known as with heracles, btu he was also said to be a son of zeus, and sicne thats the reason he has his chariot in fate/zero i guess they took this over..) their physique is also pretty similar.. and they come from the same corner of the world, too.. which reminds me there was a fanart of heracles, iskander and shirou playing strip-games and shirou holding ilya’s eyes closed cuz berserker was already losing..

  59. Leon-Gun on October 23, 2011 at 8:47 am said:

    @Ecchi: I have no idea what you talked about but there’s no cofirmation of this particular Saber being in any other wars. The third war’s Saber was actually two Sabers and their identities are unknown.
    While the curse of Gae Bulg and Gae Buidhe are similar they are not the same. Gae Bulg promises certain death the moment Lancer uses it, even if it has to break ommon sense in order for it to happen. That’s also why an injury by Gae Bulg, in the rare event it doesn’t kill it’s target, will take longer to heal, if it heals at all. Gae Buidhe on the other hand doesn’t change causality in order to always kill but rather just makes it so the opponent will slowly grow injured and crippled without the possibility of healing at all.

  60. Leon-Gun on October 23, 2011 at 8:55 am said:

    @Break: Stay Night’s Lancer was given the command of fighting all 6 opposing servants in order to find their strength and identities. That’s all. No trolling from Kirei or anything else. It could have been a little homage from Gen Urobuchi to have Saber’s first battle be against Lancer though.

  61. @Leon-Gun i know, though i guess kireo would be the kind of person who would do such a trolling..
    erm but i think Gae Bolg never had the curse to “always kill the target”, its merely taht it “always pierces the heart”.. the “certain death” is just its name/title, just like excalibur is the sword of “certain victory”, right? im still pretty sure saber was saber in every war due to her contract, though… sure, the avalon is needed to summon her, but i guess the “grail” and the “fate” wouldve arranged that to every war, someone fidns it.. after all, if the “grail2 or even fate woudlnd t be involved in the finding of the artifacts, it would be an incredible over-the-top coincidence that the masters always summon a servant taht is alike them in mind.. and that wa ssaid in fate/stay night, too, right? that servant an dmaster are sually alike in their personalities.. and if the findign of the artifacts to summon them was random, then ti wouldnt be unusual to summon a servant who isnt like you at all.

  63. Chibi Musashi on October 23, 2011 at 9:51 am said:

    @Break [spoiler]It is stated by Arturia that she only participated in the fourth and fifth holy grail wars, her contract is that she will participate in the war, not that she will be participating in every one. And the masters always summon a servant alike them in mind, the problem is seeing the servants true personality.[/spoiler]

  64. matrixEXO on October 23, 2011 at 10:11 am said:

    @Chibi Musashi
    supposedly, they summon the servant closest to them in mindset, but if you go in further it is revealed that that is nearly not the case.
    take Saber, she came cause of Avalon. another example is Archer (FSN), he arrived because he holds the artifact that Rin used. in Uryuu’s case, he didn’t have an artifact so then only does a Servant of the same mindset appears.

    Considering that the only codec free players that support hi10p are experimental builds and MPC (poorly) I think the complaining is not entirely unwarranted. The alternative is codec packs and codecs are a shitstorm mess to manage and can mess all sorts of things up.

  67. @Grarbardour
    All you need to play 10-bit is basically MPC-HC+FFDShow Tryouts+Haali Splitter, and do not use 64-bit version because 10-bit playback is broken with 64bit ffdshow.

    http://xhmikosr.1f0.de/mpc-hc/mpc-hc_apps/vsfilter/DirectVobSub_2.40.3785_x86.exe
    In MPC-HC -> Options -> Internal Filters -> Disable H.264 Decoders.
    That should get it working.
    It really isn’t that hard to be honest.

  68. @MatrixEXO hm, but those two DO have simialr mindsets to their respective original masters… also, it is stated that it is impossible to summon a servant withotu an artifact, so i guess the book uryuu found used to belong to gille? and i dont remember saber saying she wasnt in any former war, just that she already was here in the fourth war…

  70. Aurioch on October 23, 2011 at 12:54 pm said:

    Just to join in the conversation about spears:
    FSN Lancer’s Gae Bolg is a “Spear of Sure Hit”, meaning that it will always hit the target (for example, heart) via the reversal Consequence => Cause. In VN it specifically states that to evade its attack, “one needs to have extremely high luck to change the fate”.
    What started to confuse me after watching this episode is FZ Lancer’s Gae Buidhe – it has same curse as FSN Lancer’s Gae Bold; wounds dealt with it cannot be healed. Have I misinterpreted something wrong, since FSN Lancer states that in UBW route after [spoiler]Kotomine uses a Command Spell to force Lancer to perform a suicide.[/spoiler]

  71. IZEROII on October 23, 2011 at 12:59 pm said:

    Who the shit cares how big the file size is when you have a show this awesome…

  72. @Aurioch that confused me too; maybe he just said that to stop rin from wasting time with him and make her escape already though? cuz he’d die anyways, without a master to get him mana? since he killed that one off…

  73. Aurioch on October 23, 2011 at 2:32 pm said:

    Yeah, but then again he states the same in the Fate route in the church after [spoiler]piercing Shirou’s chest after he found out hidden room containing dead people.[/spoiler] You have that in both VN (citing: [spoiler]”To put it simply, the wound made by Gae Bold cannot be healed. The one cursed cannot heal and bears the wound until they die. – As long as this lance exists.”[/spoiler]) and in anime adaptation (ep22 around 6:15), so it can’t be just to force Rin to leave him.

  74. @post author: what about starting using madVR or EVR Sync instead of haali renderer in MPC? dat screen is pretty shitty…

    @Leon-Gun
    “I have no idea what you talked about ”
    All I talked about were coincidences in the fate/stay night and fate zero, simple like that. I was speculating with Break about some similarities.
    @Break “well if it comes down to it, iskander and heracles are half-brothers after all “[…]”which reminds me there was a fanart of heracles, iskander and shirou playing strip-games and shirou holding ilya’s eyes closed cuz berserker was already losing”
    Awesome! But proly Zeus was a hell of a Don Juan and his sons don’t know each other given the number. But I’d like to see this fan art.
    BTW Break, did you hear about Fake States Night, a fan sequel that got an official publishing some while ago?

  82. @EcchiSkecchi yes, he sure was.
    btw, here you go.

    @break
    Thanks for the image
    About the story: unthinkably a bunch of people try to reproduce the holy grail… in the Americas. Gilgamesh was summoned again (I really would like to know how) and arrogantly had no interest in participate till he hear one think: Enkidu was summoned to that war!
    I don’t know the quality of the history but the summoning of Enkidu the great warrior Gilgamesh was friends with and couldn’t save and even went in a journey afraid of die as well would really add some spice to a war. Even if Gilgamesh wasn’t present this could be even better. Enkidu could hold his own against Gilgamesh and his specialty was close combat (If I remember correctly) so maybe he could come as rider or even saber (not archer since He didn’t used a bow or had I bunch of noble phantasm to throw)

    Whoa, the fanart is really funny.
    Thanks for sharing.
    Hercules covered his private parts with the Playstation controller, though.
    So it should be fine. 🙂
    @grabardour : I also experienced the green screen of death with VLC (latest version).
    Once again, use please the latest version CCCP or MPC with ffdshow.
    Now we sound like broken record~

  85. @EcchiSkecchi that sure soudns extremely interesting,.e specially since im a huge fan of gil-chan! you say the thing got an official publishign? could you link me to an infopage or soemthing? i sure a sehll got interested. and sicne its asequel, who knows maybe my ilya also appears in it~
    @eternia given hercules’ general body size, i doubt a playstation controller is enough to properly block the view, though.. on a side note, i wodner if hercules got a handicap sicne hes kidn of.. well, handicapped for strip-gaming. hes wearing less clothes than the others to begin with after all. and ilya’s expression is priceless. ilya~ dammn i sure adore her.

    Oh so much time I didn’t see this but I found something, not the original text but wathever
    http://typemoon.wikia.com/wiki/Fate/strange_fake
    I had forgot something really important “Enkidu has the appearance of a woman”, man I think back then this was one of the things that thrilled me! Really amazing, like Arturia the legend and the actual person are different. I have dreams of an tsudere-ish Enkidu

  88. Arso1er on October 24, 2011 at 5:06 pm said:

    Thanks. I don’t give a shit about file size since the quality is top noch. So keep the work up.

  89. May I ask what font you guys are using for the Subtitles? Thanks!

  90. Holy shit. If I have to say anything about the filesize, it’s that the quality of the episode is probably proportional to it. My ass was shut tight the whole time I was watching, great episode!

  91. How did lancer figure out who Saber is? Even if he had seen the entire sword and know it to be unmistakeably Excalibur, the sole fact that she is girl should had thrown him completely off.
