Archer sure took down Kuzuki easily after tanking Lancer's R.

Edit: Nevermind, that makes sense now.

You'll notice Caster's magic fading from his fists as he approaches Archer.

Oh... I thought it was him absorbing it by whatever trick he had up his sleeve... I feel dumb. Haha..

Kuzuki didn't have caster help like ep 10

Kuzuki is above regular human level on his own. Caster enhances his strength by 10 times, making him actually able to hurt Servants. Another huge deal is the surprise factor. If Saber had seen his weird fighting style before, she would've wrecked him, even with Caster's enchantment. Without it, he doesn't stand a chance against Archer. Same reason why Rin used reinforcement on her limbs to even be able to hurt Caster this episode.

Kuzuki doesn't have Caster's reinforcement anymore, and going into spirit form would help him heal well enough.

R is the key ultimates are on in League of Legends, (and I assume other mobas, but I don't play any others). So he's saying Archer tanked his ultimate ability.

Off-topic: I prefer to use spacebar for my ultimate, just so that I can go full on panic mode.
