Ep. 6: Saber secures a new Master while Shirou confronts Archer in a battle of swords and wills.
Saber protects Shirou from Archer, risking her existence until Rin forms a pact with her. Restored, Saber subdues Archer, who then casts his Reality Marble, Unlimited Blade Works, transporting them to a wasteland of swords. Shirou counters by summoning his own blade, destroying the duplicates and collapsing the alternate reality. A weakened Archer captures Rin to use as leverage before fleeing, instructing Shirou to meet at Illysaviel's villa. Rin wakes in the basement, confronting Archer about his past as a Guardian. Shinji and Gilgamesh arrive, and Archer agrees to hand Rin over after killing Shirou. Shirou decides to fight Archer alone while Saber rescues Rin. On the way to the villa, they are joined by Lancer, who is also determined to save Rin.
