Monohoshizao
A longsword said to be carried by the swordsman, Sasaki Kojirou.
Monohoshizao (literally, 'laundry hanging pole') is only a nickname, and its real name is unknown.
According to records, it is said to be 90cm long, but the Monohoshizao Assassin wields in this story is 150cm long, and its range is about that of a spear.
In a real battle, long range translates directly into advantage.
But when you are talking about a sword, it must be admitted that such a length is out of the question.
It will be effective in a one-on-one battle, but its length and weight would trouble the user in a large-scale combat.
There are no swordsmen able to use this longsword satisfactorily other than Assassin, who has skills surpassing human limiations.
Fate Chapter 12: Eye of the Taiga
So the reason the sword is invisible? There is LOTS AND LOTS OF AIR packed superdensely around it.
Yes, it makes sense. Shut up.
Oh hey, look who's here!
Surely he won't ruin everything, forever and ever.
Someone certainly doesn't want this to happen, at least!
This interruption, though, alerts Assassin to the fact that we have an unseen observer!
Thusly does the battle end prematurely. Still no chances to see Saber's sword. :C
Assassin leaves, and the battle's over! Isn't that great, Saber? We get to live!
Saber?
Oh hell.
Time to take Saber home!
FOCUS, SHIROU
Even at such dark times, Shirou finds time to get drawn into antics.
Except they're not so dark, because Saber's apparently fine! Time for more strategy meeting.
Before we can discuss anything important, though, Shirou must whine some more!
GIRLS
CAN'T
FIGHT,
SABER
Before this can get too ugly, Rin saves my ass!
What's the plan, then? The great plan that will make this lunacy make sense.
TRAINING MONTAGE
The idea isn't that I can beat Servants, but that fighting Saber a lot will allow me to get used to being totally fucked, and allow me to excell under those circumstances. Oh boy.
As always happens when Shirou is in the presence of multiple girls, things quickly become 2 against 1. All power to control the conversation is lost.
Training starts tomorrow!
February 6th
Looks like it's Saber waking me up today!
Apparently Sakura and Rin are arguing in the living room. Let's go check it out!
B-BUT
MY HAREM
Anyway yeah this is actually a good idea, because it keeps her from getting caught up in our shit, and it gives Shinji one less reason to try and kill us.
A similar attempt is made to get Taiga to hang out with her family for a week or so, but she seems fine with hanging out here.
Blah blah food and antics.
No school today! I make some astoundingly contrived excuses, and skip, because I have better shit to do at this point.
And that is...
Hitting on Saber!
No, wait.
Sword training with Saber!
No, wait.
Getting the shit kicked out of us by Saber!
"You're not even 0.1% as strong as any of your enemies, but at least you're enthusiastic about it!"
Thanks, Saber.
Shirou, do you mean that in a "timeless work of art" sense? Or a "everyone is gay for Saber" sense? I'm really not sure.
Sure is quiet in here! Let's talk about something.
A super move would be pretty great, but I think it's a bit beyond Shirou's abilities.
>Her reason for fighting. I want to know why she seeks the Holy Grail.
This answer somehow doesn't ring true with me! Even Shirou can tell.
I mean, if she doesn't want to answer, sure, but...
SUDDENLY SERIOUS SCENE
She hints at something more complex here, but doesn't go into it.
At this point, Nasu remembers that he's the one writing this game, so SUDDENLY FOOD BREAK
I'M JUST GOING OUTSIDE ON MY OWN
WHAT COULD GO WRONG
H-HA HA HA HA HA HA
And we're off!
Everything's going pretty well so far!
Shall we head home? Wait, someone's tugging on my shirt from behind.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH
To be continued!
