** While all of this is going down, Lancer gets a brief moment of quiet with only Assassin for company. He shows his more introspective side by discussing just how terrible parents many heroes(himself included) are, bitterly reminiscing on how many are only seen for their great deeds while their more unclean deeds are glossed over or outright ignored, wondering just what would have been of their children had they spent more time being good mothers and fathers instead.

* Chapter 48 has Witch!Caster finally getting her just desserts. Still, given how pathetically she gets owned, and with all the crap she has been forced to go through in life and after, one can't help but feel a very little bit sorry for her. She loses absolutely everything, and then as she was about to cause everything to blow up as a last ditch attempt, she gets shot in the back by Assassin, ultimately coming off as a wretched being who was until the end played by everyone, and who had to be put down for the greater good. On a meta level this cements how ruthless Shirou can be, and how far he has diverged from his Canon self, who would have striven to save everyone.

* Chapter 45 finally drives home the difference between Shirou and Archer: if Archer inherited Kiritsugu's ideals, FFD!Shirou inherited his ''regrets''. This means Archer and Shirou are so different on a fundamental level, they will never be able to understand or accept each other, [[UpToEleven even more so than in canon]].
