Emiya

As you say, most likely Shirou at the end of Heaven's Feel, but that's not saying much given that he's on a death timer. On the other hand, UBW's Shirou got his reality marble a decade early and he's only going to get stronger.

I also think you would have to take into account how much HF's shriou's magic kills him. Eh UBW shirou has more control over his power but HF's shriou probably would do some serious damage

Emiya is cute! C-U-T-E!

HF is weaker than UBW. At UBW he is linked with tohsakas magic and he isnt falling apart. Sure in HF he gets loads of knowledge aswell but he cant get the RM and shirou already learned loads from just watching archer fight. The only difference is that in HF you can see shirou going till the bitter end, in UBW you cant see it. If UBW shirou would be pushed he would probably be powered by insanity just like HF< but then with marble/

Superman wins.

>>117905064
Besides, I'm pretty sure that UBW, Rin-linked Shirou could pull off anything that HF Shirou could. HF Shirou's notability comes from him having less flexability.

>>117905064
Without word of god it's hard to make a sensible argument, but I have to say that I don't think that UBW's Shirou would be able to kill Saber alter, since he didn't have enough access to Archer's knowledge/combat experience. But then, one might argue that HF Shirou >= Saber alter > UBW Shirou > HF Shirou, so it's all kinda hard to decide.

>>117905064
In single combat HF Shirou win. He have superhuman stats and almost Archer level abilities including Eye of the Mind.

>>117905264
well saber did recommend that UBW shirou picked up on archer his fighting methods when sparring against her. Im sure not having a meltdown is more useful than slightly more combat experience. Remember shirou had to keep the flow limited because if he got too much knowledge in one go he would die instantly

Kinda want to choose Emiya from F/HA, but I'm not sure, if he counts as Emiya.

>>117905363
I'll admit that it's all based on how much more HF's Shirou got from Archer than UBW's Shirou. Plus I felt the question was about "who would win in a 1v1". UBW's Shirou is hand-down stronger in the long-run, but HF's Shirou might have a slight edge in a short, decisive exchange. Well, he dies after drawing too much from Archer's arm anyway, so I can't call that a victory I guess. Damn, he might even die once his Kanshou/Byakuya combo fails to hit, so it's all-or-nothing for HF's Shirou, I'd say the odds are 60% they would both die, 40% UBW Shirou would win, so, in terms of actually surviving the fight, UBW Shirou might have an edge.

>>117905699
youre looking at it the wrong way.

UBW shirou wins if he can follow his ideal. HF shirou wins if he can be with sakura.

naturally UBW has a chance to follow his dream and HF shirou cant

>>117905789
Well, that's certainly a philosophical way of answering the question of who's "the most powerful".

Could Sparks Linear High Shirou defeat Gilgamesh given that he was replacing Saber Alter in the cave and that Gilgamesh was underestimating him just as much as he did in UBW?

HF is clearly stronger, he has superhuman stats and can beat Servants, something UBW Shirou himself admits he can't do (Gil being the exception) even with the power of UBW. But a battle between them would end in a draw because HF Shirou can't fight without activating certain self-destruction.

>>117905982
Unless Gil gets somehow done in by a single, ass-pull powerful projection (like Nine Lives vs berserker), the answer's no. HF's Shirou could manage 2-3 projections before his body broke down (and that's talking about swords that put the least strain on his body), so I can't imagine a way for him to get past Gilgamesh's sword spam.

>>117905154

Rin linked Shirou could only use her mana for a few minutes before the Reality Marble dissipates. I'd day the best way to evaluate either is the long term progression. Once Sakura fixes up his circuits post HF or gets him a new body and they get situated, the two are about equal to UBW Shirou, since he already has the theory down and just needs to practice.

Both Shirou's in game are too unstable because they are just coming into their powers.

A more interesting question is if they were able to 2 v 2 ten years down the line. Rin and UBW Shirou vs. Sakura and HF True Shirou (no Rider included).

Power-level wise I think Shirou with his UBW would beat Shirou with Archer's arm. Shirou that can trace Avalon and Caliburn would be up there if he can use it because Avalon is kind of ridiculous.

I like to think of it as a time progression rather than different paths equaling different powers. UBW Shirou is the closest to his prime.

That said Miyu Shirou, if he counts, traced a divine mountain-cutting sword to use as a ramp. He's the closest to his prime.

HF shirou ....

but post-UBW shirou will beat him for sure

>>117905626
You mean the clown that forgot he even know projection? He does nothing impressive, Rho Aias is projected by both HF and UBW and Avenger's swords are straight up garbage.

Can someone remind me why UBW is the coutner to GoB?

HF Shirou exceeds UBW Shirou, it's not even a question. The whole point of Archer's arm was that it boosts him to a mini-Servant in return for destroying him.

>>117906481
Faster sword spam I believe

>>117906481
Gil isn't a swordsman or rather, he doesn't use swords. The only one he does use is Ea. Someone who can spam swords just as well, or better, can counter GoB.

>>117906481
Swords are already there vs swords aren't there yet

>>117906481
They do effectively the same thing, except while inside UBW all Shirou's swords are right there. Gil has to summon his leaving a slight advantage for Shriou.
Like when Gil is about to use Ea Shirou just slices that arm off while he's pulling it out.

>>117906461
They may be garbage, but due to Avenger he can just keep projecting them without end. It's just all about surviving until opponent can't fight anymore. Though I agree one shouldn't expect much from Avenger possessing Shirou. It's not like it's Shirou who is fighting.

>>117906481
Nothing, Gil is not serious and has to lose when the plot demands it

Without a doubt


Fate shirou would win.

Kidding aside, HF shirou would definitely win. The stuff he pulls off in that route is something the other two cant do, not to mention being on par with servants due to archers arm.

However, post ubw shirou would definitely be the strongest in the end. He's already accumulated a fuckload of experience and skills from himself and is only going to get better, meanwhile, post hf shirou is has to start over since his power was mostly borrowed

In the short term, 100% HF Shirou. He was actually on par with servants in battle, while UBW Shirou notably and confirmed in the data-book could not hope to match any other servant except Gilgamesh.

People rate UBW Shirou too highly while not getting the fact that he didn't match Gilgamesh and Archer because he was servant tier now, but because one was greatly weakened and lost in ideals, and the other it was entirely compatibility.

HF Shirou is full on Super human, can run 50 KPH, fall out of a three story building without injury, but if the battle goes on awhile he will burn out a lot faster perhaps. You ask which one is stronger, it is HF, but that's at a cost.

You don't need a databook, Shirou states it himself in the fight against Gil that even with unlimited blades, all he can manage against a normal Servant is being a small distraction at best.

>>117904838
In terms of physical ability HF Shirou is superior, however in terms of projection bullshit UBW Shirou has a massive edge. If it came down to a fight between the two, UBW Shirou would win due to the stupidly massive advantage access to the Reality Marble gives him in addition to not self destructing from projecting.

>>117905846
IT would be the answer closest to the spirit of the VN

>>117909168
Because he's a special snowflake. The thing that was allowing him to exercise that specialness is now gone and he's in a situation where any other mage would kill him right then and there. tl;dr he is scared shitless

>>117910171
HF Shirou has a more impressive projection track record than UBW Shirou. All UBW Shirou does is spam K&B and one small scale sword rain, while HF Shirou activates the Nine Lives skill, uses K&B special technique, shoots a Broken Phantasm, etc. Setting UBW up takes time and only Gil is retarded enough to fuck around during the chant.

Seriously though, if Archer is able to utilize thousands of NPs, why didn't he just pull out various ones to counter people instead of using the same 5 weapons? I guess it would make the fights shown a lot less interesting if he pulled out a counter every fight.

Fate Shirou, because he's the only one who actually becomes a Heroic Spirit on his own right.

That said, if he mastered his reality marble and used the swords as more than just projectiles, he'd be a force to be reckoned with. Imagine ten mini-excaliburs (there ought to be a similar, weaker weapon in there) using their NPs at the same time from all sides, along with a direct K&B Sparks Liner High bullshit attack.

From a a purely 1v1 perspective, Fate Shirou gets wrecked by everybody, HF Shirou wrecks everybody, and UBW is in the middle. Even though it's killing him, Archer's Arm and the experience/mana/power that come with it temporarily put Shirou at almost servant tier. UBW Shirou does have the reality marble, but it's really only useful against Gil and doesn't improve his physical parameters at all in the way the Arm does.

In the long term, it's UBW no question. Fate Shirou learns fucking nothing besides "muh caliburn, muh avalon". HF Shirou is more powerful during the HGW, but he's on an eternal burnout course, and post HF he's a puppet that, while he still has access to his magics, is reliant on Sakura for mana. Meanwhile UBW Shirou has a semi-developed fighting technique learned from Archer, a conceptual understanding of how to use his reality marble (if not the mana yet) decades ahead of any other iteration of him, Rin as a top tier teacher, and the resources of the Magic Association. Given a decade or two, and he has the potential to become full on Emiya tier.

It still isn't a sword which is the only reason is able to project NPs, since that along with the RM are his only aptitudes as a mage. He can't even project a proper kettle which is a basic fucking thing and not an EX NP. Even putting that aside, the projection alone should have both killed him due to the strain on his body and he doesn't even have enough magical energy in the first place.

The description of UBW says that he can record and project defensive equipment at 2-3x the mana cost, hence the Aius. Avalon almost certainly qualifies as defensive in nature, and since Shirou's projection magic is just an extension of UBW, the same rules should apply.

>>117914732
Dude, Avalon is the reason his origin changed to "sword" in the first place, of course he can project it. And Archer's UBW page says he can project defensive equipment as well, hence Rho Aius. As for the strain on his body and mans requirements, Avalon happens to be a) a source of healing and b) a source of mana.

Since this is a powerlevel thread, I might just as well ask:

People always talk about how in Shirou vs Gil, swords are flying around and colliding everywhere while Shirou and Gil have their little melee. Where is this stated? Seems like it's just a popular fanon theory, since if I remember correctly the scene doesn't mention any aerial swords, only the ones they wield with their hands.

... I was under the impression that it was HF Shioru in particular that was incompatible with Archers arm because of how different his mindset was and that he was rejecting everything that made UBW.
I'm certain that UBW Shirou would have a far easier time controlling it because he's more in line with Archers ideals.
But you might be right, if you have proof please correct me.

Nothing like that, no. AFAIK Shirou just charges Gil and starts broken phantasm'ing UBW swords into swords Gil is hastily pulling out of GoB to defend himself. UBW's increased speed (UBW means Shirou always has a sword when he wants one, whereas Gil has to actually reach into GoB) let Shirou keep up with Gil's higher speed. Eventually Gil got pissed, tried to pull out Ea which apparently takes a bit longer than other stuff, and it gave Shirou an opening to lob Gil's arm off.

Since Avalon is what gave Shirou his sword origin, why would giving up the ideals even matter? Your origin doesn't change just because you decided to save Sakura, it takes a fucking EX class phantasm shoved up your ass for almost a decade.

>>117914864
2-3 times the mana cost of a EX NP is a crazy amount that not even fucking Archer has, let alone untrained shitty Fate Shirou.

>Avalon is the reason his origin changed to "sword" in the first place
> b) a source of mana.
Where are you getting this from? Avalon is not a mana source.
>Its function as a Noble Phantasm is an "absolute defense" that completely shields its user in the domain of fairies. It is the greatest protection in the world that goes beyond defending or reflecting, completely isolating its user in a world completely separate from the regular world. The individual is shielded from all destructive interference in the physical realm, transliners from parallel worlds, and multidimensional communication as far as the sixth dimension. It is on the level of true magic, an actual true magic in itself, that transcends all magecraft, and not even the Five Magics can overcome the barrier.

Saber says that it increases her magical capacity

Just having a "sword" origin isn't enough to give you a Reality Marble though.

>>117915183
well due to broken phantasm it wouldn't be EX, it would be A++, or A maybe?

>It does not even need to be said that every one of the attacks was by a different method
>different method

If it stated different weapon I would have agreed, but it states different method, and BPing a weapon is a method in using it for Archer

>>117915126
Swords sprout through Fate Shirou too in a bad end, and UBW Shirou has the dream of getting swordified. It's just a side effect of Shirou going way too far with his magic.

>>117915148
The epilogue of HF implies that Shirou will eventually be able to learn and use UBW. He just couldn't use the version that Archer had/knew that was stored in his arm, because UBW is based on Shirou's own image of the world, and his & Archer's views were different.

In UBW, Shirou slowly and naturally learns about the nature of his powers from interacting with Rin & Archer, so the UBW he uses is his own understanding. In HF he doesn't understand his abilities at all until he takes off the shroud, and all of Archer's knowledge flows into him. Therefore he was using his power as Archer understood it, and so couldn't use Archer's understanding of UBW because their worldview's are different.

Gil collected the idea of technology.

That doesn't mean it gives you magical energy. If I take a 5 gallon water tank and make it a 8 gallon water tank, that does not mean I pulled 3 gallons of water out of my ass.
Also even assuming you are right, which you aren't, you get the magical energy back after you are done projecting the damn thing since it doesn't exist nor does it do anything until then, so it's moot since he doesn't have in him enough magical energy to finish projecting it in the first place.
