It's a bit sad to see them drop their mascot entirely... In a sense, it's a good thing, she needs rest and it shows they can still write (main) stories without shoe-horning fan favorites in for the hell of it...... However, they are still milking the shit out of her character in more and more ridiculously out of character ways. It's prostitution, and I hate it with a passion. BLEH.

I'm glad Arthur is the face Saber here, though. He has the superior Excalibur lore-wise, he is a competent King, an archetype hero and a good candidate for Grand Saber. If he is going to be the savior of Salem (or EoR as a whole), I'm not complaining.

Story-wise, they already used Artoria meaningfully anyway (even if ti wasn't exactly Artoria), she can rest.
