Nope. She's probably the only king in the world who could walk amongst her commoners and no-one would bat an eye. That's how pleb she is
>>115027415
In the VN he didn't seem competent, just lucky and traced the right things at the right time. He could barely match Souichiro and his steel hard murder-fists.
Ufotable will do a good job with Shirou's fights, I hope. I really like seeing him struggle and win.
>>115027901
I remember having nightmares about this scene

>He could barely match Souichiro and his steel hard murder-fists
Same goes for Saber.
>>115028505
Shelacked ethics.
>>115028505
He just got the jump on her, she didn't expect him to move in such a way (martial arts magic). I think it was commented if there was a re-match, Saber would annihilate him since she's already seen his one and only trick.
>>115028438
Clone Wars are much worse. It's amazing how much Nero and Arturia fags hate each other.

But Rin herself was a Saberfag. She even got to do what Saberfags can only dream of.
>>115028640
All that tells us is that Rin has terrible taste in women.
>>115028653
That's not true. She goes after Rider as well.
>>115028472
>In the VN he didn't seem competent, just lucky and traced the right things at the right time. He could barely match Souichiro and his steel hard murder-fists
Except in Sparks Liner High
>>115028671
I add an addendum to my statement in light of your post.
"Rin has terrible taste in women...most of the time"
>>115028566
Saberfags hate nerofags for watering down saber, nerofags have chips on their shoulder the size of russia to prove that an imitation can be better than the real thing. It'll only end when fate/extra is forgotten, which it mostly is already.
>>115028472
>In the VN he didn't seem competent
You'll see how wrong you are once the UBW fights get animated.
Not to mention once the HF movies comes out.
>>115028790
Caster is still best Extra though
>>115028790
I don't think Fate/Extra is forgotten. Especially when CCC translation finishes in 2020, there will be much to talk about. Also, there are lot of Nero figurines coming.
>>115028790
>which it mostly is already.
Shit is mentioned at least once every thread. Extra and CCC will never be forgotten, it's like if you hated Ataraxia or Tsukihime and thought "Eventually it'll be forgotten", but pieces of it will always remain in the forefront.
>>115028842
>Caster is still best Extra
Not when Assassin is still around
>>115028366
Young Saber made me remember. Why does no one try to summon Merlin?
>>115028881
Because Merlin is still alive, but trapped in a tree.
>>115028842
Wrong, archer is best with his 3rd biggest bust size in the type moon universe.
Bitches need to not be going on about how Nero a shit because "She's stealing the screen time of real Saber, she's just an inferior model".
Urobuchi says she's way more of a Gilgamesh clone in terms of personality, and Nasu says she was designed to be a response to Alexander from Zero in terms of personality. She's a fourth type of tyrant, who Nasu admits "This is what Alex would probably be like if I was writing him" as he wanted to challenge it a bit. She's not a Saber clone at all aside from appearance, she's not watered down Saber, she's an entirely different shit from the start who they just slapped a similar appearance on for some reason.
Frankly it would be odd if you thought they personalities were the same at all, or that she's just diet Saber.

Assuming that Anon meant summoning for whatever flavor of the Holy Grail War it is this week, being alive doesn't mean you can't be summoned.
Flatchested Saber was still alive when she was summoned for both the Fourth and Fifth HGW.
>>115028991
>>Somehow manages to win with an asspull every time
How about you read the VN. Shirou dies 90% of the time in utterly hilarious ways. Pick the cowardly choice that seems like it'll keep you alive, some servant or illya will get pissed off and kill you for being a pansy on your way back home.
>>115028907

Saying such a thing only proves that you don't know how the Throne works at all.

>>115028683
Against Alter Saber that just stood there gave him tips and let him recover.
>>115029063
She was alive, barely, but alive. Was a special case because she made a deal with the Grail, hence why she couldn't go spirit form.
>>115029061
Isn't the Throne where heroes go to after they expire, and are removed from time and space entirely (to then serve as blueprints for the copies they create for the War)? How would one go there if he never died?
>>115029771
>How would one go there if he never died?
Humanity will all die at some point, the Earth will die at some point, the entire point with how the Throne works as shown in UBW is that it's outside of time itself. It doesn't fucking matter if he's not dead yet, because if he ever dies or if humanity dies, if Notes happens, it doesn't matter how it happens, but if he ever dies then he's in the Throne now.
He will indeed die at some point, he is indeed already in the Throne, unless he made it to Avalon as well. The entire point with Archer's story is that it doesn't matter if he's not dead right now, the Throne is outside of time, as long as he died at some point he is now outside of time itself with the Throne. Thus he can be summoned in a paradox while he was still alive.
>>115028865

What?
>>115030613
That's a joke. There's about equal numbers of Rin and Sakurafags judging from what I'd seen.
>>115030613
I've been here for years, Rin always had a decent following, but something happened a few months before the anime was announced to be UBW. I'm not sure what really caused it aside from the Rin Appreciation Threads, but these days you can't go by without "Best girl, best everything, best everything ever. other girls can't compare, absolute perfection, Rin is the best of all time" these days. The odd part though is that it wasn't even caused by the adaption being announced as UBW, but it was egged on even further because of it until now it's even more of a thing.
There was a time when Saber was the most popular, but I think that stopped some years back. Either way though, Rin types weren't ever rare at all, but they weren't as outspoken as these days. There's a danger in being too outspoken that some have probably realized at this point. Even now I have that one guy's folder from when he posted the UBW patch, that has 700 Rin pics.
>>115028881
Stuck in some crazy magic tree.
>>115030825
I like Rin, but I can't understand how people can gloss over he faults. Her flaws are a large part of what make her interesting as a character. Same with Arturia and Sakura. They all have their dark sides, their secrets. That's what make them so interesting. If the Characters in Fate weren't half as interesting as they are I doubt it would be this popular.
>>115030736
I don't know about that. To this day, I'm convinced that everyone who claims to be a Sakurafag actually does it to troll everyone else.
Not sure this one was ever scanned
>>115029849
You realize that not every famous person goes to the throne of heroes right?

Don't worry bro. Taiga has the best following. There's not a shit-lot of conflict within the group and it doesn't generally interfere with the main heroines discussion
>>115031228
That's because there's a total of 3 taigafags
>>115030924
People can like Sakura just fine, though I really enjoyed it more when mentioning her didn't cause a shitstorm or constant wormslut comments that makes normal discussion impossible.
Yes, such a time existed. She was just another Fate girl at one point without all the bullshit we've attached over the years. The most I can aim for is a more neutral outlook on all of this so that we can talk again normally, or just stop taking part in it entirely.
I'm not aiming for a place where everyone loves her, no one would want such a thing to begin with. The only thing to aim for is a world where we can just talk normally at times, and we understand the characters.

I've never seen a person actually make that facial expression before.
How does puffing your cheeks out tell the onlooker that you're mildly annoyed at how bashful they're making you feel?
Maybe the Japanese learned it from various blowfish.
If that's true, then that face doesn't convey the above at all when it's clear the Japanese have confused an obvious trait of self-defense as a shy expression.
Maybe in warm waters, the blowfish turn red, thus fooling onlookers into thinking they're blushing.
Or maybe they really ARE blushing, in which case the Japanese are actually right.
>>115031666
I don't dislike Sakura, but I know what she is. She has all the symptoms of a histrionic and emotionally abusive woman. I've had to deal with their deceit first-hand. By the end of HF you do see that, in fact, Sakura is only half-heartedly pretending to be a victim, like many abusive women. They're all born with knowledge of emotional manipulation. They wallow in the muds of self-pity, and slowly their own drama makes them lose compassion for others, to the point that they will hurt others without feeling any guilt. That's Sakura, and abusive women in a nutshell. In fact HF is a very apt analogy for real life. Abusive women wreck stuff because drama in their head. Men may get destroyed for white-knighting.
Really, just say no to deceit, no matter the circumstances. Beware of pity, or you will be the next villain in her story that she needs rescued from. Supporting the downtrodden is very different from actually dating them. Saber is our idealistic childhood fantasy. Rin is the light and candidate for a healthy, uplifting relationship. Sakura is the mud of self-pity and misery that characterizes all torrid, toxic relationships.

>>115032686
Yeah that bothers me. Sakura-fans always busting out the /CCC to justify Sakura but no-one is using the Saber Clones or Prisma/Rin to justify the other two
>>115032782
Does Prisma's Rin have a particularly different personality?
>>115032926
I'd argue yes. I don't think FSN Rin would ever lower herself to become Luvia's maid. However I'm not 100% confident I can argue this point successfully so I am pre-emptively conceding defeat on this point
>>115032782
You'll find that that's because Saber and Rin clones are vastly inferior to the originals, whilst the same can't be said for wormslut.
>>115033016
Not sure if that's an insult to Nasu being unable to write better, or a compliment to /CCC's writing staff where BB and Co are just superior versions of Nasu's Sakura
Every version of wormslut are shit
>>115031002
>implying retarded sex scenes are worse than mana dolphins
>>115031002
Honestly the sex scenes would do better as fade to black, I ctrled through them anyway.

>>115033242
Reminder that mana dolphins did nothing wrong
When is the next episode of UBW:Rhino wars?
>>115033099
I can't say I agree, most people who critique FSn Sakura usually parrot half-assed out of context insults about her character, and really prove that they either are hiding the fact they didn't read the VN, or they are one of those people who blindly hate a character and offer rather hypocritical comments. They'll accept behavior from one character, but not from other characters. It makes character analysis pretty useless.
There are rare people who do have intelligent counterpoints, but those are few and far between. I found Sakura just as fun as either BB or Blossom, and Nasu himself said that BB was primarily based off his version of a mischevious subset of the kouhai archetype, which Sakura showed in both FSN and Hollow, but "mischeviousness" wasn't her primary attribute. That made her a complex character.
>>115032782
>Prisma Rin
>justify
Prisma Rin was a lot worse than FSN Rin.
>>115033487
There is a heavy bias when Sakura fans go up against Rin and Saber fans and the entire argument is just. "Lol wormslut"
>>115033566
Which is why I don't argue personal opinion, and only go for factual errors and hyprocritical statements. For instance, the primary thing is that she is boring, and only cares about cooking and senpai, but she is the only character who actively takes part in a sports club regularly even when her senpai never comes back to it, and even leads it at the end of the original game and the fandisk. Further, her cooking was something shared between her and Shirou, not just something she does to be close to him, the teacher/student dynamic they have is amusing, and she actively tries to better herself in it outside of hanging with Shirou.
Now, it is unfortunate that Nasu didn't show more of her training in magecraft, that is a fair argument in discussion, since there are lots of interesting subplots to explore there: her making friends with a bishop of the Church and her learning witchcraft from Rider both in FSN and Hollow, and how she made/obtained that mystic code she wears in Hollow.
>>115033864
She's the slut who killed Shirou's character during HF "protect me sempai" no fuck off
>>115033864
I think Sakura was fucked by the fact that she's only a beast when she's at her worst and that rubs people the wrong way.
"There's no reason to like someone who's terrible at magic in a show about magic."
Nasu also fucked her by getting her Imaginary Numbers turned into a generic Water affinity. She would have been cool as fuck if she could use that.
>>115032782
I'm a Sakura fan and I know that isn't Sakura. You got to stop your generalizations there.
Though I always found it amusing that some try to use that to propel their soapbox about how bad Sakura is, when it's artwork from one of her biggest fans in the TM staff, Koyama. Most don't know that TM has quite a few Sakura fans on staff - OKSG, Koyama, BLACK, and now Aotsuki. It's mentioned in her entry in the dictionary, an excerpt from a 2004 material book.
>>115033922
I find Sakura thoroughly less interesting than the other two heroines, but you're clearly missing the point of HF if you think she/it killed Shirou's character.
Saber could beat up your dad

>>115034241
Your dad might be a Heroic Spirit.
>>115034307
Your father is the bone of his sword
>>115032587
That is fat ass. Hot.
>>115033947
She isn't terrible at magic that is a myth, her magecraft and natural affinity was messed up, there is a difference. There are plenty of scenes she does things Shirou would cross his eyes at, like using remote viewing through Rider to watch over him in the forest, or evading Rin's monitoring familiar and sneaking out of the house to face Zouken. or even stitching her limbs back together not due to AM but her own powers.
See, people get the wrong idea when critiquing her when she was in captivity, whereas in Hollow(where she actually jumped into a sea of Avenger corpses to back up Rider and fought for an hour at the Broad Bridge battle), when she is free or any time she is free, she goes back to relearning magecraft. She even does so in HF Normal, where she takes a student. That's dedication to strive so hard when honestly, you'd be better off going back to a normal life after a lifetime of enslavement.
>>115034361
>Are you just willfully ignorant of how badass your father was or did he keep you out of the loop?
Unless he was batman he was a pretty normal nerdy teacherMy mother would be a pretty good berserker though
>>115029061
Unfortunately, the ToH tries as hard as possible to retain causality, so when lacking a reverse future catalyst, you won't be able to summon something from the future.
>>115029037
Saber wasn't summoned under normal means: she took a contract to do time travel on a system that happens to be the same system the ToH uses. Merlin didn't, and has no reason ti.
>>115032293
Okay, this is my fetish.

Her main issue is that she isn't trained in Magecraft. She is a experiment for Zouken, so he can create worm homos instead of hoping the land will be kind.

I argued with a friend that Saber would beat Erza from Farty Trail no problem.

>>115035042
It has to be someone rooted in reality.
The Assassin she summoned never existed as the legend goes, so instead, she summoned a nameless guy who just happened to be the closest thing that resembled Kojirou's 'legend'.

>>115033947
But she actually have both.
>>115033947
In terms of natural skill and affinity, she's equal or surpassing Rin in some fields, but she loses out in actual experience or knowledge.
She molded her entire magic into something two times over in the scope of four days by just feeling shit out, she is a genius in some fields and is a natural. However since she's still a Lv1 in terms of knowledge, Rin notes that what she molded her magecraft into was all pretty basic stuff without greater complexity, but simple isn't always terrible in this case. It just means it's easy to avoid for Rin who can see through it, although the scope of it was too huge to play that card due to her mana being at the level of a counter guardian. Also as she lacks experience, Rin can still see through her and out-talk her most of the time.
Sakura had just as much potential and possible inborn genius as Rin, but since 80% of it went underutilized she has some flaws to exploit even with infinite power, despite being good enough to mold it. As of Ataraxia she's training from the ground up in experience and knowledge from Rider and someone from the Church. She's showing some fast growth, but Rin might always be more than one step ahead at that rate as they now challenge each other forward on the path.
>>115034536
>you won't be able to summon something from the future.
Merlin is from the past, but died in the future. It's like if a wizard in the 1600's invented time-travel, moved forward four-hundred years through time, and then was hit by a car the moment he materialized. That's what Merlin is, and you're trying to make the argument "No, he's from the future now, doesn't count that most of his catalysts would be from the past".
He'll die in the future, but without a doubt he's from the past.

She doesnt. Her element is as rare as Rins element but it does not have the sheer functionality and wide application Rin's has.
Rins element is something most mages would kill for. Sakura's is a very interesting but ultimately not very useful one.
>>115028131
>her subjects fucking hated her
No they didnt. A small part of them were duped into rebellion by Morgan and Mordred because they "couldnt understand her".
Essentially, she was too good a king. Her subjects demanded a king that was the embodiment of chivalry and who would separate themselves from everyone else. They got just that and some became uncomfortable with it.
>>115037669
You know, mages have really gotta start doing something about going into battle in their normal clothes I can't imagine a dress is very combat helpful the same goes for Rin's short skirt and Saber's ballroom dress.

>Her element is as rare as Rins element but it does not have the sheer functionality and wide application Rin's has.
People really underestimate "That which is possible but not within reality" based on nothing. The train of thought basically just amounts to "That's one thing, and this is five things, it's clearly better to have more", despite how the missing elements can do shit that the standard elements could never dream of if shit lines up right. Imaginary Numbers alone can create entire dimensions, dimensions with infinite time and infinite space. It goes even further than that depending on the user, but the idea that "It's only effective against spirits" seems to be something the wiki just made up at present.
>>115037943
>People really underestimate "That which is possible but not within reality" based on nothing
Its not that people underestimate it. Its that for something like Imaginary Numbers to be useful, the person needs to have a stupidly high amount of prana and even then it is only something that really affects familiars.
In the context of the grail war, this is pretty good. However, if we are talking about wider magecraft it is something that wouldnt be considered all that useful. Mages jizz themselves if they have control over two elements. Kayneth has control over water and wind and that is considered fucking awesome. Rin having control over all fucking 5 is like winning the magecraft lottery. So much so that she is said to become in the top 50 mages the Clocktower has ever had when she is a bit older.
>>115037943
>just something the wiki made up
No, its stated in one of the data books.
>>115037943

What is this fanfiction shit?
Even if it could, you'd need more mana that Zelretch has access to to be able to accomplish any of that
>>115038149
If that were true it would be properly cited
>>115037943
Basically if you have at average magic circuit(20x1?), its fucking shit because you don't have enough mana to get anything done with it.
Everything is shit at 20x1.
While the wiki is filled with tons of tons of tons and fanfiction, and taking interviews litterally.
>>115026031
I have to ask because it's been annoying me lately, before the anime aired there was only Rin and Sakura fags around but barely any Saber fags. With that in mind is the majority of Saberfags seasonal fags and if so you guys are fucking disgusting and should be ashamed.

hahaha. Remember Kayneths mercury blob? Thats a familiar.
Mystic Codes are technically familiars as well.

And it goes the other way too. You can summon better familiars than others.

>>115038178
Sakura created a small dimension of infinite shadows to trap Gilgamesh in Heaven's Feel route for starters. Time and space don't so much apply in those dimensions created, not normally at least. We see some more applications in Ataraxia, CCC, Prism, etc. Like how in Prism all the servant worlds that are separated from normal space are imaginary number zones. Ataraxia she shows off her dimensions again in one or two jokes scenes. This is an ability which is slowly expanded upon more and talked about in different series.
Think of it as a pocket world that goes on forever, even the AUO could not escape from this imaginary numbers pit.
>>115038318
Its a blob formed out of his control with water and wind, bro.
It isnt a prana construction. He fucking pours the mercury on the ground before animating it. Familiars = prana construct. Or if you are Nrvnsqr they are animals you have eaten.
>>115038318
No.
Familiar = something born entirely of prana. Mystic codes are physical things that are manipulated with prana.

You could at the least disagree with me here.
>>115038218
Yeah, most mages probably suck in general, although Sakura is on par with Rin with 1000 units of prana at a time. Supposedly equal circuits. So both sisters exhibit what normally cannot be done.
What is it with both Average One users to date, all they ever do is use it to send out magic grenades for the most part?

Although it was noted that Gilgamesh did almost escape a few times.
>Q: In Sakura’s Route, what happened to the devoured Gilgamesh? Sabre was blackened and enslaved, but was Gilgamesh’s will too strong to be dominated? Or was he completely digested?
>A: He simply cannot be controlled. In fact Gilgamesh cannot be blackened. After being devoured by the Grail, Sakura converted Gilgamesh into mana in haste because she was afraid that Gilgamesh might tear her up from the inside if she does not digest him. However, His Majesty was very hard to digest, so “Angra Mainyu” must have been plagued by belly-ache (laughs).

And, y'know, do Kaleidoscope magic. Rin being an inheritor and student of Zelretch's should tell you how OP her magecraft and element are.
And those "magic grenades" are all A ranked magic that can be invocked without incantation. That is some incredibly dangerous shit.

The crystal blade is just a glorified Azoth Dagger, except it has absurb capacity and draws magic from other dimensions.
That has nothing to do with Rins affinity, magic circuits, or element.
Which is sorta the point: She only figured out how to use it too late. If she had figured out earlier, she would have used it for actual magic.
>>115038682
Such is life when Saber is stuck in the worst route. Rin vs. Sakura is usually just a proxy for UBW vs. HF.
>>115038235
You say bullshit, but this is something we've seen more than a few times in canon so far. In HF she captures Gilgamesh in an imaginary numbers pit, she calls Saber and Berserker from them as well since they now have physical bodies and cannot go spirit form as noted, also she captures Rin inside of a pit like that in one ending. Also here's a quote from the wiki, but I'm skeptical on about half of what's said here.
> Imaginary Numbers is Sakura Matou’s unique Elemental Affinity and Sorcery Trait.[1] A power highly effective against spiritual beings, but not so potent against those whose body is not made out of Ether. When the Matou clan restraining spells are used along with this, it is possible to imprison and skewer the target into a separate dimension composed entirely of shadows. Furthermore, when Angra Mainyu power is imbued on Sakura she is able to use this ability even against normal humans.
Frankly I'm looking into this thing about how it's only effective against spirits, and nowhere in the citation does it actually say that from what I can tell. What it does say is...
>Like Hollow, the alignment of an imaginary element. In magery, defined as that "which is not possible, but materializes". Has a different meaning that the "nothing" of physics and math.
I'm not even saying it's surely wrong, but I'm not really seeing anything like that at present.

It was a near perfect recreation of the 2nd magic, so much so that it dealt with Sakura and her near infinite grail spam just fine. Zelretch himself compliments Rin for her control over it.
>>115038779
If having your waifu in a boring infodump route redeems the entire thing for you, I won't argue. Most people feel differently.
I wonder if there's ever been a type moon thread that's never gone into some kind of war over the lore. Nasu is a bastard and a fiend yet Fate is very very popular because of the controversial lifestyle,habits and the morals that each character exhibits. Kinda reminds me of the sonic franchise and the zelda franchise where everyone has an opinion on everything and everyone wants theirs to be acknowledged as the correct one.

What this guy said for the most part, she didn't become Zel's student at all because "Her ability is so OP, yo", but because she was able to barely grasp how to make his sword. Which is the assignment he left to the Tohsaka family 500 years back. Upon completing it he came back to congratulate them, and make whoever his student.
>>115038837
I have long been of the opinion that it was the "worst route" overall, however its 2nd half was for me far more entertaining than most of HF. It had a simplicity and pureness to it that HF lost in a convoluted mess.
And Last Episode was lovely.
>>115038827
Lets start out the correction:
>It was a near perfect recreation of the 2nd magic
>What it is: It is 2nd magic, a implemented solution where you have a magic wand draining other dimensions for MP
>Contrast: Space Time box in HA
> Zelretch himself compliments Rin for her control over it.
>What really happened: Zelretch complimented Tohsaka for figuring out how to recreate it, and how to operate a device that has no instruction manual nor obvious mechanics
Yeah, Blackened servants cannot return to spirit form, they are now physical.
>Blackening of Servants
>The black mud in the Holy Grail contaminates the souls of those who touch it. It goes without saying for mere humans, and supernatural beings like Servants are no exception to this either. The contaminated person's personality reverses toward the orientation of evil. This is madness caused by touching Angra Mainyu. This is called "blackening". There are those who can use the black mud as part of their own power thanks to the properties of its contamination and those whose powerful egos have stayed back its mental pollution.
>An example of the former is Matou Sakura and the latter is Gilgamesh. The blackened Servant is incarnated by the power of the Grail so the more concrete ties to the physical plane turns them into powerful beings.
>Their physical interference power increases but at the same time they lose the ability to return to spirit form.
>Also, as they no longer bother to restrain their magic energy consumption, their fighting ability jumps significantly. This momentum can be compared to a runaway train.
>>115038890
Everything is more entertaining than most of HF. And last episode was a hasty band-aid to make Saberfags feel better about no syrupy-sweet happy end.
>>115038850
You are right, how can anyone stop loving Seibah.

It was actually planned from the start.
However, nobody knows if Nasu took it out and then felt pressure to put it back in or if it was his intention all along to release something new with the game when RN was released.

Rin's jewels are part of her magic. She has lots of output, but her capacity isn't as high, so she can bleed it off into the right sort of gem. Stockpile enough, and you've got one hell of a weapon.
>>115038571
>I dont think we are ever told what Sakura's circuits are like.
We weren't. We know that because she's a grail she has a lot of storage capacity, but we don't know anything about her circuits (she was a "rare potential like a miracle", yes, but that was because of her affinity).

The main point of that was, you supposedly have the most versatile ability in the game, but all you do with it is make magic bombs to throw at people. There's no greater action at place, no mystic codes created like with Kayneth to work in different ways(despite all his shit being blown up aside from Mercury), she's just Magical Bomber Girl Rin.
They may be powerful bombs against most people, but she's nothing but a bomb type in the end. She either throws magic bullets that explode, or shoots a magic bullet from her finger that makes someone have a fever.
In terms of thought into it, it's almost entirely "Simple is best", without complexity or alternatives. Although you see some flaws with this line of thought during UBW when she and Shirou try to fight together against Lancer briefly, and she mentions she has no way of fighting with someone else since all her shit does is explode.
>>115039122
Rins Jewels are a example of how to NOT use the Tohsaka magic.
Luviya only uses it because she is filthy rich.
>>115039173
Rin is already ridiculously strong for a magus her age, she becomes strong in every route, HF is the only one that shows it directly is all. Out of all the human Magi in the series, Rin has the highest potential for growth.
>>115039224
It's only in HF that she realizes Zelretch's treasure, with the help of Ilya and Shirou. She needed Ilya to complete it somehow.

>>115039387
>>And that fucking awesome and far more effective than any "mage" in the 4th or 5th wars had at their disposal
You're really overestimating this as a tactic, just because you see them as powerful bombs.
It works as a single action spell, but this is a very stunted idea to begin with in a way, rather than "awesome".
>>115038753
To clarify a point or two, a mage is perfectly capable of using a spell that involves an affinity they aren't proficient in. However, just because they can do it doesn't mean they'll be any good at it. That's what the affinity is for, and is part of why Average One is so amazing, because it gives you all five elemental alignments at once, meaning you're good at everything you do. If you only have one element, then you'll be bad at stuff that treads on the territory of other alignments because your affinity is not those other alignments. It doesn't necessarily mean you couldn't make the attempt, but it's going to be inherently shitty because that's not really what the element does.
Like trying to use Fire for absorption and redirection and manipulation (all of which are Water-affinity traits). You might be able to do it, but it'll be weird and badwrong and not very effective.
Second, Sakura's Hollow element is great at doing anything involving "that which is possible but is not in the physical plane" (she has Hollow, not Nothingness; the latter is involved in some way with First Magic - you've quoted the wrong one). Outside of that it loses potency, just like any other element would when taken outside its box. It's still rare as all get out, though, so you can do some things with it that people would not be expecting at all unless they knew your affinity, because most would go into a "fight" expecting an elemental alignment, so you can come from way out of left field.
>>115039425
She needed Ilya and Shirou to grasp it this time alone. Not just Shirou, but Shirou with beyond Shirou abilities at the time, and Ilya will be dead in other routes before she can help. You say "Nothing says she won't magically figure it out in other routes, despite how she needed to see and examine the real thing to figure it out this time", but there are reasons listed here why she's unlikely to figure it out in others.

It's not that he's overestimating the tactic, it's that it's actually a tactic, and the vast majority of the Masters in the series are fucking retarded.

Now that really didn't happen, in battle Caster was far quicker with the incantations and spells even with a single verse. You really think Rin was anywhere near being able to match Caster in magic even in terms of quickness or instant usage? That's a fools assertion, she was using her inferiority to lure in her opponent to the real trap just like Archer was outside at the time.

>>115039890

No, Caster had no fucking idea what to do in a hand to hand fight because she never even considered a mage would actually do that.
>>115039669
And Caster has a Class A with 1 word. Which she can use again and again, because Rin destroys her gems to do magic.
Rin is pretty bad, because Kotomine Suffering Kirei trained her.
>>115039716
Rin is even worse

>>115039834
That's actually closer to what happened, but what you said at first "Its instant use Class A magic without the need to an Incantation. She trumps even Caster with this." is not correct.
Rin is far inferior in all fields in a magic battle, so she let her opponent get good and arrogant before rushing in with something that any typical magus would call "bullshit". However even then Kuzuki chastises her at being a failure as a killer for needing more than one strike to end it.
Even Saber who was raised of a certain age of magic agrees, "Mages don't do that shit, it's inelegant" which is why it worked.
All old age magus would say "What is this bullshit?" if they saw such a thing. It's such a non-tactic for any magus, that it would catch anyone with that old style of thinking off-guard. It's like getting into a sword fight with someone with honor and shit on the line, and then he pulls out a gun.

>She still manages to block ancient magic with her own,
No, she was blocking Caster's casual magic,

That never happened.
What caught Caster off guard was the sudden melee assault she have no experience in fighting against.
>>115040062
Gawain, pls fuck off
>>115040027
Yeah pretty much.

>>115039909
Pretty much, Caster was never caught off guard in terms of magic. She wasn't even trying to go all out.

>>115040062
Gawain, are you implying that Arturia is not the best Saber?
>>115040136
No, Rin disowns it because the first time she touches it she ends up putting on a terrible, terrible concert for all her school friends and as a result no longer has any school friends. AND it talks back.
>>115026031
Why is she pouting?
>>115040136
It has a personality and will, you'd have to be able to convince it in order to work for you, and Rin is the type who blows everything up or does something stupid when she gets hot-headed from having to deal with anyone. Like when she listened to Archer talk for ten seconds in prologue, and went into a tsundere rage and used a command seal.
She's the type who gets fed up quickly and loses herself entirely. So expecting her to communicate with that rod is unlikely at best.
>>115040068
No, servants are nerfed version of Heroic spirits, both servant and heroic spirits however are almost always stronger than them in life.
>>115040136
Keep in mind that not even Shirou agreed with it.
>>115040192
>Even though I did play with you, you forced me to compete in magic.
She was playing, but she had to get serious. That shows Rin's capacity far more than anything else.
>>115039973
>Kaleidostick
When did she even get it anyway? It was said that she got it from Zelretch.
>>115040380
So Arturia would be stronger if she became a Heroic spirit?
>>115040420
It was created by Zeltretch. She found it in Tokiomi's stash after her mother died, then childhood trauma happened and she swore to never go near it again.
>>115040410
That wasn't her getting serious, Rin had unleashed the same attack that could kill Berserker, but Caster easily absorbed it in her robe. Caster was just commending Rin for making her taking one step above.
>>115027667
Fuck off back to prisma, Bagels.

He could probably make half a dozen if he wanted to, he just happened to give that one to the Tohsakas.

>>115040451
No, she was buffed to be heroic spirit or counter guardian like in order to fulfill the conditions of her contract. But she still wasn't her full potential because she doesn't have her other NP like the sheathe and caliburn which she would have gotten if she was a proper heroic spirit.

Bullshit. 100% bullshit. Complete fucking bullshit. Cite ANYTHING that indicates anything like that.
Artoria is weakened compared to herself from Camlann because she has to rely on the magical energy of magi.

Azoth daggers and Tokiomi's staff and pendant were just as one-off as the gemstones. In fact the Azoth dagger was even worse, it's both a one-off and it's inferior to the gems in quality.

Fate/complete material III: World material - Record of Heavens Feel - Servant System: Difference between Heroic Spirits and Servants, p.012
Difference between Heroic Spirits and Servants
Heroic Spirits were Heroes who have left behind great feats in legends after death and become subjects of belief.
Normally, a Heroic Spirit is summoned by the world as power that protects humans.
The ones summoned by humans are Servants. However, Heroic Spirits cannot be controlled by humans, and to summon them, the Holy Grail or something with power of that sort must be used.
The Servant system of Fuyuki summons Heroic Spirits with the power of the Greater Grail. Heroic Spirits summoned as Servants are like "emanations", copies created using the information of the main body of the Heroic Servant.
>>115041113
She did have some sexual experience with the temporary D though, considering it's how she "learned how to please a man". Whether it was Morgan or Guenevere or just the maids of camelot.
Reminder
The etymology of "Secondaries" comes from the superior ability of these individuals to delay gratification, and thus receive two marshmallows. This ability highly correlates with success, education, health and weight control. In this context, it refers to their ability to wait for a superior release in a superior medium (anime).
>In these studies, a child was offered a choice between one small reward provided immediately or two small rewards if they waited for a short period: approximately 15 minutes, during which the tester leave the room and then return. (The reward was sometimes a marshmallow, but often a cookie or a pretzel.) In follow-up studies, the researchers found that children who were able to wait longer for the preferred rewards tended to have better life outcomes, as measured by SAT scores,[2] educational attainment,[3] body mass index (BMI),[4] and other life measures.[5]
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stanford_marshmallow_experiment
It is not surprising at all that bitter "primaries" who are often unintelligent, overweight, and unsuccessful at life, would attempt to turn it into a pejorative, following in the model of "normalfag"
>>115041251
•Birth of Heroic Spirits
It's been explained that Heroic Spirits are beings that heroes whom belief has been gathered upon become after death, but heroes of myths and legends can be born by the gathering of belief even if they didn't exist. Also, there are those who those who make a contract of some sort with the world when they were alive and as compensation become Heroic Spirits after death. In the Fifth War, Hasan Sabaha was a hero that actually existed, and Herakles and Medusa are ones of legends. Also, Emiya and Altria are beings that became (or will become) Heroic Spirits after their contract with the world. Those who have become Heroic Spirits are freed from the constraints of time and are moved to the Throne of Heroes, existing to the outside of the World.
•Heroic Spirit summoning
Heroic Spirits are beings cut off from the time axis and can be summoned in any era, regardless of past and future. However, the only one that can summon the main body of the Heroic Spirits is the "world", and alas, humans can't summon the main body and can only summon their emanations, the Servants. Speaking of which, the information (souls) making up the Servants return to the main body at the same time as the death of the Servant, and the main body can know, as records, about the actions of the Servants as if reading a book.
>>115041251
>Because there are tons of examples servants being stronger than in life, see Drake/Queen Elizabeth, Shakespeare, Anderson. If they were using their real life ability, they would be useless.
Not how it works. Drake was actually that amazing of a fighter, Shakespeare and Andersen ARE as useless as they were in life (all they can do is create a story).
You forget that people in the old days were literally stronger than people in the current era. Even as far back as the start of enlightenment, they were physically more powerful and talented because things only get worse as they get older.

No, NPs are the defining trait of Servants and their power, and they ARE buffed by legends.
>You forget that people in the old days were literally stronger than people in the current era. Even as far back as the start of enlightenment, they were physically more powerful and talented because things only get worse as they get older.
That's not the case, the regression to the age of the gods only refers to magic/mysteries and the weight of their souls. They are overall more capable, but not definitely not heroic spirit or servant tier.

Technically yes. Practically no.
He only really uses the ones we assume he trained with in life; Kanshou & Bakuya, Caladbolg II, Rho Aias, Hrunting...
This is of course, if you choose to interpret UBW as a linear thing, rather than an outside realm that always has had literally every blade inside it and Archer is merely discovering them when seeing them outside.

Furthermore,
------------------------
Heroic Spirit [Concept]
Source: Fate/side material (2004-1-30), p.056
Fate Dictionary
Heroes who achieved great things in life, and became objects of worship after death.
As a "power that protects humanity", they are high ranking existences, categorically closer to elementals than wraiths.
However, whereas elementals are "power" given form using the container called human imagination, Heroic Spirits are woven from people's ideals on the inside, too.
Among the Heroic Spirits, there are those from legends, those that really existed, and those that were never observed at all. The ones who aren't worshipped much fall under the broad classification of "Counter Guardian", and are used as a mindless "Counter Force".
Of all the Heroic Spirits that appeared in the story, the only one functioning as a "Counter Guardian" was Archer.
Because the other Heroic Spirits had high divinity, and were existences closer to the planet than humanity, they were able to avoid being drafted as Counter Guardians.

And that doesn't apply to Saber, who is just using the abilities she had on her from Camlann. She was not buffed at all in this regard.

At the very least, the people of Gilgamesh's era was. Ionioi Hetairoi confirms that Alexander's elite cavalry were.

They WERE Heroic spirits. Every person in his NP was a Heroic Spirit of some form, with their own Noble Phantasms and special abilities. That's why everybody was shitting themselves when they saw it. Iskander had potentially the most powerful NP in the franchise barring Ea.

No, it wasn't. Excalibur just does that. It's always been that level of attack, even when she was alive.
Invisible Air is just a magecraft Merlin gave to her.
>>115041996
Reminder that Avenger is also a heroic spirit.
>>115042068
"Basically" being something implies they are similar to something. They were not "basically" Heroic Spirits, they were Heroic spirits.
>>115042037
Because those are they are typically wraith:
----------
Wraith 亡霊 - Bourei
Human spirits. In the context of the game, the spirits that serves as the cores (candidates) of those heroic spirits that never existed as individuals; basically the "I'm not really this hero, I just look like him" sort of Servant. Generally, their name as a heroic spirit isn't their true name, which has been lost. According to the "actor" playing the "role" of Kojirou, just a ghost that hadn't made his own name known.
If a hero in a legend doesn't actually exist, then a wraith with similar abilities or one that shares the same general idea/concept/title is used as the basis for the heroic spirit or one of the many candidates for that heroic spirit. In Fate,
Hassan Sabbah is one of these. Hassan is actually a name taken on by the leaders of an organization of assassins. Each individual Hassan's own background before becoming a Hassan is lost historically and thus, there are no memories before they became Hassan. The core personality of Sasaki Kojirou is also an example; there are a number of other nameless swordsmen that bear enough similarities to the legendary Kojirou.
The word bourei more or less connotes a ghost that's still remaining in the material plane because of regret, grudges, and what not; the type that tends to haunts houses, lands, and people, like say... the ghosts in Juon. It also carries the same sort of meaning that the word "spector" would have in English; something of the past that has long since stopped existing.
Stanrobe, an Ancestor whose physical body was destroyed, is referred to as being the 1st wraith.
>>115041996
I'm pretty sure they weren't allowed to use their Noble Phantasms
>>115042113
Isn't he some sort of wraith (like Hassans) ?
>>115040388
Shirou agreed with it, but didn't think of how to get use of it.
Shirou can use it, by summoning himself as a female version. The staff should be perfectly capable of that.
>>115040280
Rin is stupid anon. She has persuasive ability of a 8 year old, most likely from Kotomine training her.
>>115042114
>in the most essential respects; fundamentally.
>>115042167
Strange, considering wraiths aren't buffed either. Must be that the ghosts are just that strong, huh? Which means they were that strong when they were alive.
What if Zero Rider and Rider swapped places? Iskander with Sakura and Medusa with Waver.
>>115042194
No, he was elevated into the throne because he was "worshiped".
>>115041251
So then why does Saber reach how strong she would be in "life" with Tohsaka?
>>115042223
They are entities that tries to fullfil the rumors and legends, see Sasaki.
You know the Gilles of 4th grail war? he was actually a wraith.
>As for Gilles' relation to sorcery, he turned to alchemy in an attempt to relieve his financial difficulties, and eventually strayed down a dark path that led him to try summoning a demon. But while it's certainly true that he participated in the ceremony, the actual magus was his friend François Prelati – Gilles himself was nothing more than a patron. As such, he is not a Heroic Spirit that qualifies for the Caster class. Or rather, he is not even a proper Heroic Spirit at all. The fact that Ryuunosuke's bogus ritual ended up actually completing a summoning sorcery was, honestly, more or less a total fluke. In that sense, the "Caster" Gilles de Rais is just as much of an irregular Servant as the "Assassin" Sasaki Kojirou.

And nothing really goes wrong, because while the Kaleidosticks are witty, they are not evil.
>>115042402
And wraiths aren't affected by belief or the worship of mortals. They only happen to circumstantially fit the mold. And yet they are on the level of heroes.
Thus, the idea that heroes are buffed is bullshit.

2) it was Shirou's opinion
>This is Saber.
>The heroic spirit of the sword said to be the strongest Servant!
3) It isn't even her max potential since she had higher agility and endurance, along with Riding skill Rank under Kiritsugu. And she doesn't have all the proper Saber class NP she would have gotten as a proper Heroic Spirit.
also:
>Q: If the Holy Grail War were set in Europe, would Cu chulainn (Lancer), King Arthur (Saber), and Heracles (Berserker) be roughly equal in power?
>A: ...Well, if we’re talking western Europe in general I’d say the first two would be powered up to an equal degree... though England and Ireland, the odds would be sharply in the respective hero’s favor. Heracles would display excellent power in all of western Europe.
>>115042681
We see Legends having effect on heroic spirits multiple times.
For example Vlad who got his "Vampire NP" because of popular belief
>>115042459
>>115042682
Man I hate you, I went years thinking something completely different.
>>115042626
Sola still falls for him, Lancer manages to get Kayneth to start drinking and lectures about rune magic.
Somewhere along the line he stabs somebody.
FSN gets completely up-ended because Rin goes doki-doki at Deermud.
What a lot of people ITT seem to be missing is that what they were in "life" is irrelevant. They literally did not have to exist in life. The legend supplants reality, human belief shapes the state of the world. Alayashiki undoes "actual history" and replaces it with what people believe.
>>115041951
Don't forget shitty on the very idea that combat is glorious or honerable or that fights are to be seen as something heroic. He pissed all over Lancer and Sabers ideals and morals so much I wonder if Gen the butcher wrote him more then Nasu did. Especially seeing as the more shonen-ish characters like Kayirya and Rider just flat out died without accomplishing a single important thing. Only difference is that the narrative made Rider kinda awesome despite his foolish brutish nature while everyone else was torn apart. without mercy.
>>115042682
Where the fuck are you getting that? True powers means true powers.
Saber never even went to the Throne, so she isn't buffed like other Servants. Saber with Rin as her Master is her reaching the true powers she had in life.
>>115042681
They are fucking woven from human ideals and belief, which is basically saying they are based on humanity's image of them, which would make them more powerful.
>>115042750
>3) It isn't even her max potential since she had higher agility and endurance, along with Riding skill Rank under Kiritsugu.
According to complete materials it is Saber with full power.
>When having Rin as a Master, Altria was able to unleash her original abilities without being affected by the Master.
I don't have a clue why some stats are higher with Kiri I blame Urobutcher
>>115042721
I was going to say that that's bullshit since Saber has higher stats, but then I remembered her shit luck.
gg gae bolg
To think Servants were trash human tier back in their days. I can probably slap Gil and laugh.
>>115042892
Gilgamesh was still very powerful, he is fucking divine after all. In the legend he could grow to massive size.
>>115042892
Gilgamesh was noted to still have his treasury and shit in life, and shot it out like rockets just the same.
>>115042984
Could be that it was legend.
Who knows there's a possibility only Archer and Hassan realy existed

>>115042877
He's talking about Zero, when Kayneth command spelled Diarmuid to attack Saber with Lancelot.
If Shirou can trace the weapon and can also trace the abilities of its user how come it reaches servant strength/speed if the servants were human tier in life?
>>115042849
Saber have higher combined stats under Rin though.
the original abilities is comparing to Saber's heroic spirit self or the lost chance as a counter guardian.
Fate/complete material III: World material - FAQ with Nasu: Servants, p.133
>Q: Even in Rin’s route, Saber voluntarily destroyed the Holy Grail. Did this time also break her contract with the World, and make it impossible for her to exist as a Heroic Spirit?
>A: It was a flawed Grail, so you could say it was halfway done. Since Saber reconsidered her life and found her own path... this time, perhaps she could become a Heroic Spirit on her own.
>>115043100
No shit he is. Also, it's friday, the sky is blue and you're obtuse.
>>115043094
Medusa and Herc are confirmed fictional
>>115043081
Shirou's opinion means literally nothing. He's just saying "oh golly jee, right in front of me is definitely what it means to be the strongest servant, saber!"
And Servants are effected by their Master beyond just the amount of Prana they can provide. The comparability/personality can affect their stats, which is exactly why Sabers stats are different under Kiritsugu.
>>115043158
Then what the fuck does gae bolg have to do with anything.

I'm pretty sure Kayneth wouldn't need to use a command spell if his servant doesn't hold monologues about honor
>>115043216
jason used to slap medea as a way to get her off from her euphoria from too much magic
later on he slaps her as a way of beating her up
>>115043195
Like I said, you're obtuse.
Read back the discussion to this
>What if Kayneth managed to summon the Blue Lancer
>>115043204
She can't even do that as a Servant. Don't take the numbers given by Nasu as fact, he's retarded.
>>115043261
Apparantly yes, read FHA.
>>115043331
Oh, I thought we were still on the "swapped Rider" chain. My mistake.
>>115043286
>His basic parameters are not particularly high, but he excels at using battle tactics designed to trip up enemies stronger than himself. In particular, he is the natural enemy of those Heroic Spirits which rely on the powers of their Noble Phantasms to fight. Depending on his strategy, it's even possible that he could have won the entire Fourth Holy Grail War (or suffer a humiliating defeat at the hands of Assassin).
>Out of all the Servants in the fourth war, he had the second-worst compatibility with his Master. Though, if his very first opponent had been anybody besides Saber, he might have been able to fight in a way more in line with his Master's expectations. For you see, it was Saber's serene beauty and grace which kindled the flames of chivalry within his heart.
>By the way, in the Fourth Holy Grail War, the following strategy would insure the absolute victory of Team Lancer:
>Kayneth must not let his Servant recognize such things as honour on the battle field or knights' pride. He must let Diarmuid realize that the Holy Grail War was merely dirty chores that needed to be done.
>In order to fulfill the previous item, Kayneth must avoid any contact between Diarmuid and Saber with his best effort.
>In combat, Kayneth must prioritize securing an exit. In a battle, missions would be considered accomplished if Diarmuid scored one hit with Gae Buidhe. Repeat this tactic, and exhaust all hostile teams.
>Capitalize on Team Berserker. Team Berserker was a powerful enemy against all other teams, but Lancer had an advantage due to compatibility. It would be optimal to let Berserker destroy the other teams and reach the finale. He could then be defeated at that point.

That was referring to the command spell, which massively buffs the Servant to accomplish the task if there was trust between the servant and the master.
See Saber vs Archer bridge scene.

>>115043204
>>115043359
She could only match the speed of Archer's arrow when she was given a command seal to go beyond her ability, that's not something she can naturally do at all.
A single action command seal will allow a servant to break past all natural limits, even teleport.
>>115043468
It's the fucking command spell, how could you fucking miss that?
>>115043468
Thats a command spell.
A part of the Grail, bound to the Master, so that he can ENFORCE commands on a servant.
Originally designed so that you could suicide the servants to feed them to the grail.
>Altria’s abilities rose when having Kiritsugu as Master.
>Her LCK status decreased since even Kiritsugu still could not provide sufficient magical energy, as a result the status was affected by the Master's way of life.
>When having Rin as a Master, Altria was able to unleash her original abilities without being affected by the Master.
This is from CM3, which confirms that Kiritsugu's personality affected Saber, and Saber got her original abilities back as Rin.
>>115042626
Bazett has Diarmund kill himself to get another shot at summoning Cu.
Grail Wars don't really work like that so 5th grail war ends up having no Lancer, Shirou doesn't get involved in the grail war.

1. She doesn't have a heroic spirit self

>>115043777

>>115041744
What did Archer die of in HF again, I cant remember.Was it in the first battle in the Einzbern forest?
>>115043810
Except it is implied she does.
Also EMIYA was able to express the his servant level power when given the miracle with the contract.
>>115043707
>>115043707
>The Knight King that ruled all battle fields during the age of legends shall be reborn
So this pretty much confirms that servants weren't human tier trash back in their days right?
>>115043900
It's implied she can later create a new legend for herself, but this will be "Artoria of the new age", not "King Arthur of the round table".
Emiya already has servant level power at his peak. The counter force granted him the ability to accomplish the impossible momentarily, then recruited him. He did not receive any buffs.
>>115043900
Except that's talking about post-UBW route. The Saber we
see is not a copy of her heroic spirit self. It is literally Saber.
>>115043937
Any of the Age of the Gods Servants would have been as powerful or more powerful than their Servant selves when they were alive.
People like Hassan or other pleb heroes were not as powerful when they were alive.
>>115044045
This makes more sense some Heroes might get buffed when becoming a HS and some were already as strong.
>>115043954
>Emiya already has servant level power at his peak. The counter force granted him the ability to accomplish the impossible momentarily, then recruited him. He did not receive any buffs.
The miracle did buff him:
-------------
"So every hero is required to defeat a monster? Your ignorance is astounding, as is your imagination. Sadly, none of my achievements have ever reached such lofty and mythological heights. Most of the things I did were well within my capabilities, but... Actually, I'm kind of overlooking the event that got me recognized as a Legendary Soul after I died. It was one of those situations where it was impossible to go it alone— You'd need someone's help. It also marked the last time I was able to save everyone. There must have been ten thousand people all told—"
Ten thousand...! I can see why he became a Legendary Soul...but what exactly did he do?
"One of the cores of a nuclear power plant melted down. Someone had to go into the core to try to stop it. All I did on my own was get inside the core. Including bypassing security, it was a lot like... Well, picture running through ten levels of the Arena in less than an hour."
-------------
And the contract with Alaya did buff Saber in order to accomplish the miracle. Only it is indefinite.
>then recruited him
No, EMIYA specifically stated he was recruited after death in the VN.
>>115044045
But Word of God says that atleast Medusa and Hercules are fictional servants

And I'm not okay with that.
It is too late, you cannot hope to stop it or contain it.
>>115044152
The miracle buffed him for that moment to accomplish what he could not. He still had servant level capabilities at all times, before and after.
Saber was never buffed, nothing ever indicates as much, and I call you a liar for insinuating as such. Cite your fucking source.
>>115044160
Well yes, but they are still "real". They never originally existed, but their legends became true after people believed in them for so long, so they became real retroactively.
Otherwise things like Medusa's backstory in F/HA wouldn't make any sense. Rider obviously remembers living, and has memories of events that were never told as legends, so for all intents and purposes she was "alive" once.
>>115044342
Saber has Dragon Blood(which is why she is basically shit in HGW #526)
And King Arthur might get Avalon as NP. Maybe Caliburn. Both that Saber does not posses.
>>115043892
apparently the original material was translating 真 as original, when it actually means something close to 'true'.
>>115044438
What are you even talking about now? Of course Artoria has the karma of the dragon, and doesn't get clad in a raiment of noble phantasms, because she's not being buffed by myth.
>>115044342
>He still had servant level capabilities at all times, before and after.
No he does not, even with reinforcement, even Rin's reinforcement was no match for servant, and Shirou have no affinity for magic, so his reinforcement is only sword related.
------------------
Reinforcement - 強化 - Kyouka
An elementary skill but a difficult one to master. Reinforcing the purpose of something's existence; the sharpness of a blade, the level of nutrition of food, the moeness of a maid (I don't think maids are moe personally), and so on. Reinforcing something vague isn't possible. As it is hard to pass one's own Prana inside living creatures, reinforcing another person is said to be one of the most difficult feats possible. Caster, on the other hand, is able to do this easily.
The base of all thaumaturgy is to send one's Prana into an object to elevate it, however, because of the degree of freedom in it, a clear form of execution doesn't exist. Hence, all-mighty reinforcers are few in number. The same as trying to add to an already perfected object. Failure would mean that the inserted Prana would be considered as poison to the object and thus be dispersed/rejected. To succeed, one has to understand the internal construction of the target and send the Prana into the open areas.
In other words, it's focusing Prana on a part of the body or object and enhancing it's effect and power, aka meaning. Reinforcing the eyes enhances vision and what not.
Rin, combined with the Tohsaka's traditional martial arts, is able to close a gap of several meters in an instant (probably 1 or 2 seconds), basically Servant-like speed (but not close enough to even be a threat to anyone but Caster, and that's only when caught off-guard).

You missed the part where he traces the ability of servants to fight on their level, huh?
Shirou after two weeks of learning his own abilities is capable of battling with Gilgamesh.
It's Reinforcement combined with swordification (body being further reinforced by transmutation into swords) combined with tracing abilities of heroes.

Fujos have been shipping Archer and Lancer for years though.
>>115044759
That was the Servant arm capabilities.
>Shirou after two weeks of learning his own abilities is capable of battling with Gilgamesh.
No, you misunderstood.
1) UBW could fire more NPs per second compared to Gilgamesh, because all the swords are already 'ready'. And thus Gilgamesh have to defend against stray NPs too.
2) Shirou can instantly replace the weapons in his hand while Gilgamesh have to manually pull them out.
3) Shirou could only download the techniques at that point, but his body can't keep up (even in HF)
Even with all those advantages, Shirou had to be relentless and strike while the iron was hot, because he knew if Gilgamesh regains composure he would be screwed.
>Even in this world, I am no match against any other Servants.
>I cannot match the ultimate one even with infinite swords.
>Gilgamesh must have the ability, but I do not.
>Therefore---this is the only Servant I can match.

Perhaps she's wondering why someone would ask that to a girl without realising how hot she looks like that.
>>115045168
>That was the Servant arm capabilities.
No, it's something Shirou's body just does. He did it in Fate too when Rider kicked him. He becomes swords as a self defense mechanism, and it's strong enough to survive blows from servants.
>3) Shirou could only download the techniques at that point, but his body can't keep up (even in HF)
Irrelevant to the point that he can perform them.
>Even with all those advantages, Shirou had to be relentless and strike while the iron was hot, because he knew if Gilgamesh regains composure he would be screwed.
Irrelevant to the point that he was keeping up with a servant.
And this is all before he actually trains his skills and completes his swordification.
>>115045363
Not that guy but are you implying EMIYA became servant strong in life because of UBW?
>>115045363
>No, it's something Shirou's body just does.
I was referring to the HF Shirou,
UBW Shirou said he can't keep up with servants.
>Irrelevant to the point that he was keeping up with a servant.
>Even in this world, I am no match against any other Servants.
>He did it in Fate too when Rider kicked him. He becomes swords as a self defense mechanism, and it's strong enough to survive blows from servants.
That is just his reality marble going out of control.
>>115045567
Of course. All of Shirou's skills, except Mind's Eye (True) which is just learned skill, are extensions of Unlimited Blade Works.
>>115045187
>>115045306
Reinforcement is notoriously difficult, using it one something as sensitive as the eyes is dangerous.
Rin is doing the same thing to see Shirou. It's just the same thing Shirou did against Shinji, using magical energy to boost the body.
>>115045611
Ah okay. Just asking.
>>115045582
>UBW Shirou said he can't keep up with servants.
Yes, because he doesn't yet have the skill. He trains himself to gain as much. And even then, he's probably comparing himself internally with top tier opponents like Heracles, Cuchulainn, and Artoria, rather than generic level heroes. He is still, however, engaging a servant in melee without being pushed back, even with the element of surprise and neutralization of a noble phantasm, which is the point.
This is only after two weeks of learning his own abilities.
>That is just his reality marble going out of control.
Yeah and it's something he can learn to control.
>>115045168
It seems to imply that Shirou could only download techniques but not the battle experience.
It seems he could only gain Archer's battle experience from Archer or his arm, which was why he stated he specifically chose Kanshou and Bakuya instead of any other weapons for the situation.
>>115045582
>That is just his reality marble going out of control.
No it isn't. Even in HF, this isn't true, since it's not his RM.
>>115045061
I think he used his od there aren't Magic circuits used to gain access to the outside mana?
>>115045735
No, the experience is from tracing.
>>115045838
Sakura is an expert at tracing sen and pai.
>>115045701
>Yes, because he doesn't yet have the skill. He trains himself to gain as much.

This is only after two weeks of learning his own abilities.
1) Servants are beyond human capabilities even with reinforcement. Even Rin's speed reinforcement wasn't enough, and even Caster's reinforcement on Kuzuki wasn't enough. His snake fist technique is a skill of deceit at heart that would only work once against expert fighters, and Kuzuki was trained and done nothing but trained in martial arts his whole fucking life as an assassin.
2)Shirou was rapidly gainly many aspect of Archer's knowledge by just being close to him due to their existence, this was confirmed by Nasu.

Even Max Shirou was stated to be no match for Bazett, and she can't keep up with servants (except Avenger) in physical capabilities too.
Dengeki Hime 10/2006 - Fate Dream Battle Round 5 - Bazett vs. Shirou
>Nasu:With this time's battle, since we're working off the assumption that Shirou "has trained/is operating himself to the max", people might think that this might end up being a good fight, but m'lady Bazett's a trained professional specializing in anti-magus battles. Technique, experience, and battle power. Against someone like her whose superior in all those regards, even with a "Broken Phantasm", Shirou's disadvantages are still not going to change. And you see. She's ruthless.
>>115046050
Isn't this when Nasu went on a rampage nerfing anything Emiya?
>>115045929
>1
Yes and? Shirou gets the skills from the source, he even keeps up with heroes when they're not going all out without any amount of tracing. Just with battle knowledge he prevents himself from being killed by Lancer.
>2
And this would accomplish what if EMIYA was reinforced beyond his level? The point is that EMIYA is his peak output, and not reinforced by the counter force.
>>115046050
Average servant >= Ciel = maxed Bazett > maxed Shirou.
EMIYA is probably stronger than an average servant.
>>115046050
Bazett defeats servants through the usage of Fragarach several times. Saying "she cannot keep up with servants" is flagrantly out of line; it's that she cannot engage top level combatants like Artoria and Cuchulainn safely. She is easily on servant level combat.
>>115046050
I fucking hate that interview. It makes no sense, Shirou is nothing like a magus, how would she have any sort of advantage in regards to that?
My intepretation is that Fragarach instantly goes off at Tracing because anything else is just retarded.
>Bazett who says she would die from a single hit from Liz
>defending against something like Caliburn or Berserker's Axesword
>>115046112
>Yes and? Shirou gets the skills from the source, he even keeps up with heroes when they're not going all out without any amount of tracing. Just with battle knowledge he prevents himself from being killed by Lancer.
Lancer was playing around and trying to get a fight out of Shirou, he was just lazily doing the thrusting, until Lancer got fed up and declared he was expecting too much out of Shirou.
>And this would accomplish what if EMIYA was reinforced beyond his level? The point is that EMIYA is his peak output, and not reinforced by the counter force.
No, EMIYA as a counter guardian is his peak.
>>115046164
>I fucking hate that interview.
Same here.
>>115046159
did you just miss my quotes?
> she can't keep up with servants (except Avenger) in physical capabilities too.
She couldn't even deal with hassan assassin.
>>115046255
>Lancer was playing around and trying to get a fight out of Shirou, he was just lazily doing the thrusting, until Lancer got fed up and declared he was expecting too much out of Shirou.
Yes, but it's not like he was holding back and not trying to kill him. Lancer was still performing superhuman attacks and Shirou saved himself from them. They weren't attacks an ordinary human could evade.
>No, EMIYA as a counter guardian is his peak.
Again: he's not reinforced by the counter force. Nothing indicates he is. Everything indicates that that is just where Shirou peaks out.
>>115046311
That's because she's an all-offense type that has nothing to defend herself beyond endurance, meaningless against an assassin. She's still servant level combat output.
>>115046164
>I fucking hate that interview. It makes no sense, Shirou is nothing like a magus, how would she have any sort of advantage in regards to that?
Because she is an Enforcer, that deals with all sorts of irregular magi. Fragarach is not her only capabilities, she have plenty of other magic and traps.
>My intepretation is that Fragarach instantly goes off at Tracing because anything else is just retarded.
Fragarach can be used against nontrump cards, but it loses a lot of potency, becoming something of C or D rank NP at best.
Basically this suppose to demonstrate that humans cannot keep up with Servants in physical capabilities if Bazett can't even do it.
