With command spells nasu says he can match a servant temporarily.

HF Shirou could probably take him. I dont think he could, he couldnt even beat (true)assassin even though he was immune to his NP. He is probably weaker than Shikis "assassin" personality too.

How would command spells help him? I thought their buffs only affect the servant you're commanding.

Shirou is the best due to plot.

According to Nasu, Bazett is the strongest non-servant, except Kirei in his prime is actually stronger, except Soichiro would actually beat both of them.

Shirou's plot armor isn't actually that strong. Pic related shows all the endings in the game. The cards on top are the good endings where you win, the tiger stickers on the bottom are bad endings. One of those endings technically implies he won too, so let's call it 6/45 possible outcomes where Shirou wins the war. That's only a 13.3% chance of victory for him. Considering there were 8 different groups in the running for that war (I think...) the average probability of any given group winning would be 12.5%, all things being equal.

So Shirou's odds are just BARELY above the average expected probability if the whole war was just pure random chance. If you don't count Zouken who usually doesn't do jack shit most of the time he's actually about 1% lower than the expected average success rate.
>>
>>118524780
>Shirou has infinite plot armor
When did the term plot armor lose its intended meaning?
>>
>>118524682
Well that's what makes Kiritsugu the most "deadly". The man found a way to kill his opponent no matter what it cost him or anyone else. There was no lengths he wasn't willing to go to, no means he wasn't willing to use.

Could he kill a Servant? He did. He killed Lancer by using Kayneth to force him to commit suicide. He also technically would have killed Gil by proxy if Gil hadn't been able to survive the black mud like everything else.

Kirei's good in 1v1, but that's all he's good for.
>>
>>118524841
Shirou is also really susceptible to all kinds of sudden horrible death or worse if he fucks up (or just gets unlucky somehow) so I don't think plot armor really applies here.
>>
>>118525050
>Could he kill a Servant? He did. He killed Lancer by using Kayneth to force him to commit suicide.

Tons of people killed servants by using their own servant to do so.

>>118525050
>Kirei's good in 1v1, but that's all he's good for.
And actually surviving.
And accomplishing his goals.

Did you miss how Zero was basically just Kirei and Kiritsugu playing shadow chess against each other?

Normal Kirei is below Ciel level, which is defensive battle level. Prime Kirei with his Command Spells and the same tenacity used against Kiritsugu can beat her and some Servants, only the weakest Servants at their weakest, close-range Caster and out in the open Assassin, or one with a great compatibility disadvantage.

Yeah, but Lancer's death had very little to do with Saber is my point. He probably wouldn't have died if Kiritsugu hadn't been there. Having a Servant kill another Servant with raw power is only good at judging the Servant's power. Kiritsugu gave no fucks about how powerful any of the Servants were and took matters into his own hands despite his own limited abilities, which he was able to work around in a way no other master was in order to come out on top.

>>118525237
I was only speaking in terms of how good one character was at killing others. Ultimately Kirei was more successful, I'd agree.

You can't even blame that on secondaries, it's clear in the anime as well. It's just a clear sign of non-comprehension of what the story straight out tells you.
>>
>>118523968
Hero Kotomine can beat an Assassin or a Caster, if it's a close-quarters fight without Presence Concealment or magecraft. Same for Kerry at the time of that fight.

Lorelei, Aoko, Kouma, the DAAs, and so on can all fight Servants though. Kouma's able to match a Servant plus their NP just with sheer power, and on average the DAAs are Servant-tier (though you have monsters like ORT that no Servant has a chance in hell of ever beating). Lorelei's the best magus of the modern say and can solo most DAAs, so she can also fight Servants, and Miss Blue's not at Lorelei's level but she's pretty stronk.

Alice Kuonji from Mahoyo can't fight Servants herself, but her Ploys can, especially the Four Wonders. It helps that 99% of Servants won't have the methods to destroy her Ploys, cause of how their conceptual universe works.

So on and so forth, the Nasuverse is big.

This seems like a decent TM thread so I'll ask: why does Roa look different in Far Side routes? It's been a long time since I read Tsukihime and I only just remembered how much it bothered me because of >>118525364
>>
>>118525484
>Fucking secondaries.
Actually I haven't even watched the adaption.

And it was a recurring plotline that Kirei and Kiritsugu were aware of each other and considered the other to be the biggest threat.

And Kirei's betrayal and switching to Gil didn't just happen out of the blue. He was during plenty of shit the entire time.
>>
>>118525526
That chart is dumb, linear power levels in Nasuverse usually are, but credit where credit's due CM is stronker than Young Zel. CM just lost because he had no idea what True Magic was and expected that, as a TYPE, he'd be invincible. If he knew his opponent had a way of hurting him through manipulation of [ ], it probably would have been different.

Kirei is a strong all-arounder with zoning capabilities but few finishers. By most metrics he'd be considered a top tier fighter.

By contrast, Bazette would be more of a glass canon heavy hitter with a truly ridiculous OHKO counter move.

And Kuzuki would be that one weird character nobody played as because his controls are so fucked up, but then you play one guy who mastered it and he beats you without taking damage.

Kirei steals command seals in F/SN so does Caster and so does Rin. They're always transferable if you're willing to risk the person you're taking them from and they were always described as "huge mana source" so using them to fuel other magic is fine.

He didn't have infinite mana.

Rin wielding Gem Sword Zeltrech would be a mage with infinite mana. Black Shadow Sakura would be a mage with a MASSIVE, MASSIVE supply of prana that boarders on infinite, but isn't exactly inexhaustible.

All Kiere had in comparison was a few leftover command seals that are consumed on useage. It's not even remotely comparable to having an infinite supply of mana. It's an absurdly powerful tool, yes, but not nearly as amazing as you think it is.

Kirei's high point was the jogging. As for beating servants he was pretty shit in UBW and HF fighting them, but he did give archer armed shirou trouble and a weaker shirou from UBW did fight evenly with girugamesh.

So I think the main point is autism.

No, he can't. Without Command Spells, he's not as strong as a Servant, not as fast as a Servant, nor as skilled as a Servant.

The only Servant he could probably beat is Avenger. Even Bazett can beat Avenger, and she's weaker than he was in his prime.

Because there's no point if he makes it for her. She needs to reach it on her own.

Maybe, with a stockpile of Command Spells.

Problem is he doesn't have a Noble Phantasm. All he has are shitty Black Keys. You can't beat a Servant with just your fists alone, no matter how strong you are, and I'm pretty sure Kotomine doesn't know Strengthening thaumaturgy.

>>118527863
Not without Ilya's help, I think. He has to "understand" the sword to project it.
>>
>>118525504
Why is Fujino way above Ryougi when she got her ass handed to her?
>>
>>118527967
My memory is fuzzy about that, so a real gem sword would be able to withstand a higher number of battles?
>>
>>118528052
Because that chart is utter shit.
>>
>>118527849
>All of Shirou (or Archer's) projections are one rank below the original weapon.
And the Jewel sword doesn't have a rank since it's not an NP dingus.

>With command spells nasu says he can match a servant temporarily.
No. Nasu says that with command seals, Kirei can possibly defeat Ciel. Possibly.

And Ciel is not a match for Servants until she gets all her gear from the Church.

That said, my vote goes to Satsujinki. He's Tohno Shiki with his Nanaya potential realized. Far more powerful than his overpowered daddy.
>>
>>118528056
Unless a projection is perfect it will break down at some point.
Shirou was barely able to replicate the thing even with access to its actual blueprint and firsthand memories from someone who came into contact with it.

You do the math.
>>
>>118524495
Ilya is useless in combat though.
>but muh adaption
>>
>>118528162
The ranking doesn't have anything to do NPs or even Servants.
It's just a simple system for classifying abilities in Shirou's head. You could apply it to anything
>>
>>118528233
I think the VN has some off-hand reference to her using some basic combat spells at least.
>>
>>118528202
Being able to match something temporarily is not even close to possibly being able to defeat someone.

HF Shirou is able to beat Saber Alter solo
True, he dies afterwards, but is still far more that what Kirei can do
>>118528275
I think she attacked gil with something in Fate, I'm not sure
>>
>>118528048
That's not "just some magic," it's a mythological one of a kind item that saber should have taken back in the last war after kiritsugu used it to summon her. It's compete asspull that Shirou had it inside him.
>>
>>118528275
She's a one-trick pony when it comes to combat.
She uses some basic attack in Fate, but it's even weaker than a Gandr shot.
>>
>>118528339
>It's compete asspull that Shirou had it inside him

Did you miss the part where Kerry put it inside him specifically to save him?
>>
>>118528339
Kiritsugu never gave it back to her, and it's a relic that exists in the modern age. As long as Saber's not in possession of it, there's no reason it should disappear along with her.
>>
>>118528339
How the fuck is that an asspull
>>
>>118528329
HF Shirou basically can't win any fights. The minute he uses his powers he's a dead man walking.
>>
>>118528339
It was foreshadowed on multiple occasion.
That's not an asspull you idiot.

With that sort of justification any unexpected development is an asspull.
>>
>>118528339
It's a plot point that the entire VN was written around that is the exact opposite of an asspull.
>>
>>118528203
>firsthand memories from someone who came into contact with it.
On Shirou's defense those memories were blurry and shitty.
>>
>>118528268


The downrank only applies to NPs, everything else is just slightly imperfect. Nowhere does it say a normal item is given a rank down, because they don't have ranks.

>Fate/complete material III: World Material -The Servants of the Fifth Holy Grail War: Archer, p.026-027
>Also, the ability of the replicated Noble Phantasm suffers one rank down compared to the original.
>>
>>118528439
If we are talking about pure display of power, victory doesn´t matter
also, he won to dark berserker, even if it was in part thanks to Ilya
>>
>>118528545
He's able to analyse Caliburn through vague dreams.
Ilya's ancestral memories is a clear improvement.
>>
>>118528610
The point I'm making is the minute he uses Archer's arm, he's dead.

The guy could utterly pound whoever he's fighting into the pavement, but if he has to take the cloth off to do it, it still basically amounts to a draw, even if it's a slightly belated one.

>The downrank only applies to NPs, everything else is just slightly imperfect
The "slightly imperfect" is adapted as downrank in the system.
It's the same thing.

Projecting NPs isn't different from projecting mundane objects except for the difficulty.
>>
>>118528618
I am going with what I saw in the VN which is what Shirou saw. The Caliburn dreams were Saber's direct memories and you could see the sword clearly but Illya's ancestral memories were blurry and shitty.
>>
>>118528709
I don't know, ask Caren's mom.
>>
>>118528771
Ilya's memories are clear enough to manifest an actual second personality.
That doesn't sound very blurry.
>>
>>118528709
I kinda doubt it, unless you have very specific fetishes
>>
>>118528819
Well nigga those memories looked blurry.

He wasn't using just his fists. He had Caster backing him up.

Yeah and then he had to run the fuck away a minute later

He's the epitome of a human/demon hybrid.

His abilities are not normal and might very well be able to affect a Servant where a normal human's wouldn't.

>>118530336
Li is a Servant, so he's not really relevant to the point the anon was trying to make.
>>
>>118530177
Reading that scene again, I think that's just Shirou's inability to totally comprehend the thing or his arm fucking him up. Then again, he was able to tell the size of a big rock and what was carved on it, so who knows.
>>
>>118526004
And she's died countless times too, 1 kill out of hundreds isn't much, especially when that one kill was only possible because she had help from avenger.

Saber vs Avenger/Bazett was as perfect of a setup for her as Shirou vs Gilgamesh
>>
>>118525437
Kerry only lasted that long because he had avalon in him, he was dead from the first punch.

>>
>>118531070
And Kirei would be fucked by the Origin bullets if he didn't have the seals.
>>
As demonstrated in UBW, if you can negate Caster's magic for a few seconds than even someone like Rin or Shirou could beat her to a pulp. Kirei could easily kill her in a few blows.
>>
>>118531854
That's a pretty big if.
>>
>>118531854
And Tohsaka was using reinforcement magic, which Kirei doesn't have.
>>
>>118531854
That only really worked because Rin caught her by surprise by pretending to do a normal magic duel. Caster could just blow her up. It's classic Gilgamesh Syndrome.
>>
>>118531956
Wasn't kirei's priest outfit reinforced?
>>
>>118528305
Do you even Saint Seiya?

But yeah, I see what you mean.
>>
>>118531997
I those are different things though.
I don't think you can affect Servants with clothes.
>>
>>118523968
No, he would have died from True Assassin if he had a normal, regular heart with True Assassin not even breaking a sweat.
>>
>>118532054
But he can still use reinforcement.
>>
>>118532118
No he can't.
His clothes are standard issue Church shit.
>>
Can Kuzuki kill Kirei?

They are both autismal as fuck.
>>
>>118523968
Stop talking about this show please

>>118532154

>>118524839
>>
>>118527953
>>118528039
No, because Kotomine has a real heart in F/Z and would have actually died from having his heart crushed by True Assassin.
>>
>>118532172
Not possible.

>x can kill servants, discuss
is effectively an immortal topic by now if it wasn't already so years ago.
>>
>>118532172
Why not give a good reason instead of just stating what you want.
>>
>>118524689
And by 'beat him', we mean 'survived in combat against him until he achieved his true objective, at which point TA stopped bothering to try and kill him, partially because he found him so interesting'. TA could've gone ahead and killed Kirei, pretty easily, given how badly injured he was. He deliberately made the choice not to.
>>
What's Kuzku's wish?
>>
>>118534346
Why would he have one? He's only Rider's master because he rid her real good when he chanced upon her in the rain.
