WHO IS THIS GUY?! | Fate/strange Fake Episode 5 *REACTION*
The complexity of the Snowfield ritual is reaching a breaking point! Today I’m reacting to “Fate/strange Fake” Episode 5. This episode, titled “Star’s Banquet,” really dives into the absolute madness of this “False” Grail War. From Sigma’s irregular summoning to the reveal of the Watcher-class Servant, the rules aren’t just being broken—they’re being completely rewritten. A-1 Pictures is maintaining that incredible cinematic feel as we see more of how these Masters and Servants are navigating a war that shouldn’t even exist! 🎬 EARLY ACCESS & COMMUNITY CHAT Get uncut reactions, early access to upcoming shows, and chat exclusiverooms with me & the squad: 👉 https://www.patreon.com/Yaboyrocklee 📅 SCHEDULES & PLAYLISTS Main Channel Schedule & Playlists: 👉 https://www.yaboyrocklee.com/schedule/ K-Drama Schedule: 👉 https://www.yaboyrocklee.com/schedule/yaboyrocklee-kdrama-schedule-true/#google_vignette 📱 FOLLOW & CONNECT Twitter (X) | Updates & show recommendations: 👉 https://www.twitter.com/YaBoyRockLee Instagram | Behind-the-scenes moments: 👉 https://www.instagram.com/yaboyrocklee/ TikTok | Best highlights and reactions: 👉 https://www.tiktok.com/@yaboyrocklee?_t=ZP-8z5cWxGvvck&_r=1 Discord | Join the community: 👉 https://discord.gg/bmYzgDz Twitch | Live shows & chill streams: 👉 https://www.twitch.tv/yaboyrocklee 📺 SUBSCRIBE TO ALL CHANNELS Main Reactions – @Yaboyrocklee 👉 https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCOLGr9aup4HxWT1mmPPMFMw?sub_confirmation=1 Solo Channel – @YaBoyRockLeeShow 👉 https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCDbmOyKzb8y4s4NktagF3Hw?sub_confirmation=1 K-Dramas + Asian Live Action – @YaboyrockleeAsianReactions 👉 https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCuNdZh1QIN_oQ1E4_HGux2g?sub_confirmation=1 Movie Reactions – @yaboyrockleemovies 👉 https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCUsTurigXH0RszpatAibT5Q?sub_confirmation=1 Gaming – @yaboyrockleegaming 👉 https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCUsTurigXH0RszpatAibT5Q?sub_confirmation=1 📬 FAN MAIL 20791 Three Oaks Parkway, Unit 349 Estero, FL 33929 United States Featured Themes: – Sigma and the Watcher: Analyzing the bizarre summoning of the Watcher-class and what it means for the irregular Sigma. – The Banquet of Servants: Seeing the interactions (and threats) exchanged between the heavy hitters in Snowfield. – Lore Breakdowns: Understanding the deeper implications of “True” vs “False” Servants appearing in the same space. – Visual Excellence: A-1 Pictures continues to deliver on the high-stakes atmosphere and character design fidelity.

Shirou could have had another brother named Sigma (Maiya is Sigma's mother from Fate Zero, Kiritsugu's assistant who was killed by Berserker when kidnapping Irisviel) , he would definitely give Sigma a place to eat and sleep in Today's Menu for Emiya Family.😥
Francesca is toxic and crazy? Damn, I'm in love already
sigma is basically becoming like shirou in fate stay night, a hero who will be recorded into the throne of heros and become a servant
13:50 That's a good catch. Very few of the reactors I watched actually realized what Rider was doing in that scene.
Lost in Adaptation:
Prelati summons cookies. From where nobody knows.
Prelati's summoning for Francois was skipped in the anime, or more technically they cut out the summoning but created a unique scene for the anime. Some of the script from the summoning event was brought in for the unique scene.
Francois remembers "up to his first execution", when asked by Fransceca how much he remembers.
In it we find out that Prelati used herself as the catalyst. She also used a custom chant, one that normally would not have worked to summon a servant. However by using a warped chant, and herself as the catalyst, she was able to acquire a servant with a very strong affinity to herself. Based on everything she surmised a 90% chance of summoning herself, but also had a small hope to see Gilles(Fate Zero Caster).
I'll put the chant she used down below.
Heracles initially allows the command spells to be used to try and show how futile it is to use them on him, even if he was ordered to kill himself he had no concern since it'd be three times at most.
Baz's magical energy was, according to the internal thoughts of Heracles, equal to the witch's of his own era.
We get more information on the "mud" in the light novel, it specifically states it's from the Greater Grail of Fuyuki and that Prelati acquired it, along with something else.
In the light novel Fake Caster(The chief's servant) notices that Watcher is watching…and doesn't care. As he puts it "Everything's better with an audience".
Enkidu also catches on to the presence of Watcher being summoned, but even with his level of presence detection he couldn't tell it was a Servant.
Watcher's shadows while talking with Sigma mention that if they'd been summoned as a proper Extra Class, they would have been Gatekeeper. There is zero knowledge on what that is, what it does, or anything.
The light novel by this point has confirmed Doris Lusendra as the person who was planned to summon True Rider, and that the Kuruoka's plan was to summon Shi Huangdi(before Tsubaki summoned Mr. Black).
Prelati's Chant, via translation by an amazing translation team:
A pinch of silver and a pinch of iron
Boil up the head clerk
That’s Até’s lovely recipe
Fill, fill, fill, fill, fill it up
Fill, fill, fill it till it spills
Bring together five closed wounds
I offer you my body, I offer you my—
Ha ha! Ahaha! ♪Time’s up, so I’ll skip the rest…
Random fact: Narita confirmed that he worked with other people to figure out, mathematically, a number that made sense for the amount of missing people.
There's a character that will be introduced in episode 7 who is very interesting and there's this one person who goes around spoiling their name in the comment section. I suggest you be extra careful when reading the comments starting from now
The name Heracles (changed to Hercules in English) was an attempt to get on Hera's (the goddess and wife of Zeus) good side. She hated Heracles because he was Zeus' son from another woman, and so she did everything she could to make his life miserable.
