Perseus was Shinji! I'll never look at greek mythology the same way again!
Oh wow... So we can have evil saber at the pull of a hair... Thats so awesome!
Evospace i'm still a little confused about the cloth of Magdala and what "absolute power over men" means. Does it mean she mind controls them or does that mean she just becomes an irresistable object of desire when she uses that cloth?
And rider is scared of Ilya? Oh thats so adorable!
Actually where was shirou the entire time that Atraxia was taking place? Since you mention that he appears at the end, does he appear as in physical flesh or as a spiritual apparation.
sorry for confirming your fears of more questions.
Beast's Lair Number 1 Caster fan and uh....Oh look, a pickle.
Not everyone watching porn becomes a sexually-uninhibited, drugged-up, incestuous pedophile murderer who does cats.
legacyZero: Shirou is attracted to Sakura like a drug addict swearing off the existence of crack. He wants her but doesn't act.

But looking at different profiles and the summary it seems like the Real Shirou is around in the story too. Like at the bridge scene. And didn't it say in the summary that toward the end Bazette turned Avenger into her missing arm? So how can Shirou/Avenger meet her at the top of the tower then?
I'm a bit confused too, but I guess you can say that every single characters in the story are in spiritual apparation form. A copy of Shirou is placed in the day time, and Avenger's main consciousness is placed with Bazette at night. I'm pretty sure Shirou's a fake copy all the way. That's why he forgot about the tracing ability before the bridge scene.

This kind of a less Hollow question but...I thought the grail was tainted when Angra Manyu (or Avenger) was summoned. But he wasn't the real Angra Manyu so how did he end up tainting the grail?
Because he is still a heroic spirit with a strong negative emotion, I think.

It means men who are binded by the cloth are unable to escape with their own powers. I don't know the historical background of the cloth though.

Actually that's one of the biggest mystery in Hollow Ataraxia. I thought he was real in the After story but...

In the dictionary, it's mentioned in the "afterstory" that Bazette and Karen stay in Shirou's place. Thing though is:
1. Didn't this event happen on 10/8 on a non-existent timeline? 2. On 10/12 when Bazette woke up for the first "fifth" day, wasn't her arm missing?
Yes, I was also iffy about the After story, but I just re-read it and found a bit that Rider existed too. She just went out to work. Saber & Rider can't possibly exist in the same ending, and yes, Bazette had the artificial arm that Avenger turned into. So I can conclude that After story is just a "What if" scenario.
The only other time the real Shirou could have been there then is the Ryudo Temple prologue. When he saw Karen for the first time there, something might have happened to him/them.

The taint is because of angras identity is reinforced by not his own existence but by the wish of others for him to become all the evils of the world. The holy grail, being a wish granting machine reinforced that and thus becomes tainted.
The one in HA seem more like Angras core personality rather than the identity other forced on him in fate.

The loop already happened by the time the prologue began (there's plenty of hints too the mountain of corpses, the stairway to the reverse moon, etc). Also, Ilya mentioned that Angra actually possessed/synchronized with Shirou during the day time, so I dunno if we can really say that was a complete imposter.
Also a comment about the encyclopedia, but I thought the real Avasta could only record information, not do any damage like Verg Avasta?
One more comment about the epilogue, but the original name for it was 4.5γϊk. It's just a joke ~_~;

All right, I just got CCCP, played op1.avi, it was awesome. Very reminiscent of the Melty Blood opening movie so much so that I wonder if Type-Moon makes these things as Flash movies first THEN makes them into .avi/.mov/whatever. (Hey, the F/HA certainly looks like Flash to me.)

"The Grail War was a thing of the past. There is no reason for another conflict to spark in Fuyuki. The Grail is gone, the Servants are gone, the dead won't return, and life continues with no problems."
Specifically the line, 'the Servants are gone, the dead won't return' But the Servants aren't gone, and only person dead is Kotomine. This was in the prologue, but not in the 2nd time around you see this scene in the game. And it's right before Shirou saw a glimpse of Karen.
I'm just guessing the loop began right after that.

I dunno either. The core personality is Shirou, but the one who's in control is Avenger, but he's Shirou from the heart.

Saber: " Avesta...? Using the Zoroastrianism book of teaching as a Noble Phantasm...!?" Avenger: "It's only a useless copy though. ...Well, it's inferior to the double damage returning book of law, but mine has an advantage of its own"
It's ambiguous if the "book of law" refers to the real Avasta though...

Yeah, I saw that on Kinoko's diary. Translates to After Story 4.5?

EvoSpace: Based on those lines alone, it would mean that the Heaven's Feel timeline has been discarded, and we're left with Fate or UBW happening. Which one it might be is beyond me... Ilya being around at the time of the storytelling would have given a definite answer.

That's what I thought at first, but then it seems weird that Rin would be in the first half of the prologue but gone for most of the loop and there's still all the other phenomena that the other students saw. It could have just been one of those random moments when Shirou became slightly aware of what really happened (like when he saw Saber). He also mentioned in the prologue that there was another major important reason why he came there (that's when Karen showed up) but forgot what it was.

Yeah, you're right. I re-read the prologue several times and it have to be within the loop. Ilya's castle mini game was the most obvious hint.
I personally think it's the moment Avenger realized how life is interesting, and how he decided to participate in it.
I have one question though. What was the point of the story about the student A in the prologue? All the other ghost stories had some kind of connection with the main storyline...
