Medea Today's Menu for the Emiya Family Manga
Today'south Menu for the Emiya Family unit
by Gabriella Ekens, 
September marks Caster's plow on the fondue carousal equally she asks Shirou to help her cook a meal for her married man, Mr. Kuzuki. Equally per Hollow Ataraxia lore, this detail retainer/master pair has gotten married (legally? religiously?) and are currently enjoying their blissful newlywed life at Ryuudou Temple. In dissimilarity to her prior demeanor as a cackling, Saber-molesting witch, this Medea is all smiles and hurried housekeeping, working hard to please her profoundly inexpressive partner. Souichirou, meanwhile, is mostly the same – stoic and in possession of cheekbones that you lot could use as cheese graters. If Medea ever wants to make some spaghetti parmesan, she knows what to do. I honestly don't think it'd even bother him.
Too the joy that is getting to meet Medea happy, I found this episode pretty ho-hum, to be honest. Besides Pulley'southward long-awaited reappearance, information technology lacked an overall hook, and while I like her graphic symbol quite a scrap, most of her time onscreen consisted of performing rather mundane cooking tasks. Little of this was particularly expressive of her greater personality, which we at present know more about due to Fate/One thousand Lodge. The closest thing I could notice to a reference there was a mention of "high-speed chanting," which is one of her skills in the game. Otherwise you could accept washed something cuter with her, like foreground her honey for pancakes.
In that location too weren't any good Souichirou gags. While I similar him and Medea equally a couple, he's a tough boyfriend to feel affection for in his ain right, more like a placid version of Kirei from Fate/Zilch (before he sold his soul to eternal BDSM with Gilgamesh, of course). It's like the guy is exhausted by his own ridiculous backstory (a kamikaze ophidian assassin cum-high school social studies teacher) and tin't detect the energy to forge annihilation else remotely interesting about himself. But it'southward okay, Medea nonetheless loves him – and he's certainly an upgrade over Jason. Anyway, you tin make practiced gags out of stoicism, but the episode didn't really accomplish that, leaving stretches in a gag vacuum. By contrast, Saber remains a joy to watch. Equally usual, she gets all of the show's best reaction faces and character blitheness, with the episode'south highlight consisting of her reaction to seeing the Witch of Betrayal in Shirou'southward kitchen. Concluding time Saber found Medea there, she had a pocketknife to Taiga'due south throat, and it pb to a rather unpleasant incident for our King of Knights.
In the end, Medea can't cook fish and taro as well as master housewife Shirou, merely Souchirou nonetheless loves her, and that's beautiful. Information technology's a shame that she doesn't like interesting men, simply afterwards what she experienced in life, maybe that's a blessing. They really should not have kids though.
