What's the point of Rin training her whole life to be a mage when Shirou can kill a Servant with no training?
>>
>>118835314
What?
>>
>>118835314
>Q: In the other Type-Moon works, who else besides Arc can fight against Servants?
>A: If we're working on the condition of one on one, with an extremely average Noble Phantasm. Generally most of the 27 Ancestors, Kishima Kouma, Aozaki Aoko. If it's just a defensive fight, but would still be a fight, then Ciel. Shiki (Rakkyo), Shiki (Tsukihime) are no match for Servants....but Ryougi Shiki (3rd personality) might be able to go as far as the Ciel class.
Tons of people can theoretically kill a Servant but much less that can beat and kill them in actual fight and Shirou isn't one of them
>>
Being a mage isn't really about killing servants.
That's just a weird byproduct of her dad being really shitty and forcing the grail war on her.

Also Shirou is a cheater who has his future self DLing knowledge into him through time travel shenanagans.

He beats Gilgamesh. Because he's a perfect counter.

Using Archer's arm doesn't count, because he's using Archer's skill, not his own.
>>
>>118835314
Because Shirou has been cheating and has been prepped from the very begining

he should have been killed a hundred times over, but has an early advantage by having avalon in him. And while Rin has trained in all sorts of magic, Shirou has been training in only one specific thing his whole life

Probably because his power is way greater for fighting anyways, since he can create weapons that can match servants, and most servants are heavily resistant to magic anyways making them a shit matchup for any mage.

If Shirou had gotten training at least the anime would be a fun shounen and a lot less boring by this point. He wouldn't "being a hero is the best ideal oh wait i died let's fight again tomorrow" all the time and the show might even get to the level of Fate Zero.

Nice headcanon, nowhere is this stated.

Considering the sword moves on its own it will block all attacks that he wouldn't normally perceive, such as Bazett pulling off such a maneuver.

I think all that was buildup so that in HF when he unseals the arm, all that stuff's happening but it DOESN'T heal up like it did in the other routes, and it makes you realise just how fucked he is this time.

>>118837269
His body can't keep up with his sword. If his sword suddenly movie to more than 90 degree his spine will break

Sword reacts only to the attack if she jump first and then attack it will move only then
>>
>>118836776

It isn't so much that she accepted being the Shadow as it was her breaking down, she was merging with it more as she was becoming the vessel by Servants dying and becoming part of her.

Zouken even says it wasn't a complete merge, but if everyone, especially Shirou had abandoned her, it would be complete, her will would vanish and her mind would die (which is when he would take her body) . Her hope was driving it off until then, which is why the Shadow only manifested when she was unconscious. It's the whole reason why Zouken tried to troll Shirou into killing her.
>>
>>118837609

Yes, magic resistance still works against true magic, considering that most heroes had fostered their MR by being exposed to the true magic of their time.

>Although Emiya was a magus during his life and possesses unusual Projection sorcery, his affinity with “sorcery” is much worse compared to Heroic Spirits of ancient times who saw sorceries and True Magics as commonplace. The level of Magic Resistance is a result of this.

No, you are making things up, the sword will attack when it feels it should, as it runs on Saber's battle experience. Saying that the sword only reacts to attacks is bullshit, since it went up and slashed Berserkers arm off when it was first created.

How useful would Rule Breaker be to Shirou outside of the grail war?

Can it just dispel any kind of magic? Like Boundry fields and shit?
>>
Why doesn't Caster just use Item Creation to make something that can 1shot Berserker or have a constant supply of Immortality potions?
>>
He lucked out on the Origin, Affinity and participating in a war of a thousand magical uber-swords.
Really, if there were no NPs in the war and Servants fought on their own merits, he would probably lose hard against everybody. But it just so happens that NPs are pretty much the most powerful factor in a war.
It's a case where his inherently weak ability happens to be able to beat inherently strong Servants because the conditions were lucky for him and it's used right.
In particular, during UBW he just shamelessly copies Archer, a version of him that spent HIS WHOLE LIFE purely seeking an ideal way for him to fight, for his unique physique and his unique RM. And he rips off these methods found through a lifetime of fighting. It's obvious he's gonna be progressing incredibly fast.

Archer/Shirou can both project multiple swords at a time for swordrain and use the swords in a deployed UBW via telekinetic control.

It was the combination of the two really. The Shadow is a manifestation of AM, which is also part of the Grail system. Gil was taken in and melted into nothing by the grail in the 4th war, but ended up getting a new body. It's even stronger thanks to Sakura's powers, and since Gil got a body made from the grail, he gets munched that much easier since it's pretty much the Grail itself working against him again.

Sakura, who by then is almost one with AM as its avatar and the grail vessel, turned him into mana when she was unconscious before he broke out, though she barely remembers the event since her mind and body were in shambles by that time. Like getting rid of a bad stomach virus. Or a gas station hotdog.

Considering he still managed to spam weapons, project his shield and use a broken phantasm at the end UBW when on all intent and purpose he should have been DRY as fuck, it probably doesn't take much mana at all

I never got this opinion that Shirou was "shallow self-insert".
Isn't the whole point of UBW how utterly insane and inhuman he is? Hell, if anything, Shirou is one of my favourite protagonists. He masks as the usual stupid shounen protag, and then he shows his true colours, and suddenly you understand how self-consistent his character really is, with every single trait of his coming together. And all these stupid shounen progat tropes? They were really, genuinely justified.
He's a great and unique protagonist. Hell, you people love Archer, and they're pretty much the same guy from different times and perspectives!
There's a reason UBW is the best route. Part of it is that Shirou's character and his insanity is really worth looking into.
Why is everybody saying he is a bad character? Did you people not read the VN?

That was when he was being summoned by Tokiomi. In the fifth war he's considerably weaker for multiple reasons; firstly, Kirei is a shit mage. Second, he's a true incarnation instead of a spirit.

>>
>>118838907
How is that a cop out? Actual fighters train a very long time to develop a natural instinct that can carry them to a kill.
>>
>>118838865
Because Eye of the Mind is just super observational skills. It doesn't operate on an automatic level like Instinct does. Saber literally doesn't have to think to use Instinct, her body moves on its own. That's how she managed to keep up with Kuzuki for a bit, even though she was totally overwhelmed her body was able to instinctively evade some of his attacks.

>>118838907
Sure is arbitrary skepticism.
>>
>>118838960
I'm pretty sure some of it was projected.

I wonder one day we can all agree that damn near everything in this universe is killable in certain situations, but that doesn't take away that Servants aren't strong beings and that winning or losing can change between tactics used in a fight?

>>
>>118838935
People will give you their reasons and no matter how reasonable they may sound you'll bend backwards trying to disprove them because you really like Shirou.
Again, you're quite the masochist asking people to tell you the reasons they don't like a character you obviously love. Discuss Shirou with other Shiroufags that agree with you and you'll save yourself a lot of frustration.

>>118838741
Because they are crystallized mysteries, more powerfull than Servants themselves. I doubt Shiki can kill even one real NP and he can kill shitton of projected ones before his mind breake so they must be weaker concept

1. Kuzuki isn't a normal human, good luck finding another one like him and getting them to work with you.

>>118839035
Only things we know for sure is that projection is more expensive than reinforcement, and that defensive armaments are more expensive. Even then, Shirou was able to project around a dozen swords when he only had enough juice left for one, and was able to keep up the fight with Archer for a while before he started getting thrashed due to his precision dropping.

>>118839228
He may actually be able to handle himself. The only reason Shirou was able to hold his own against Kuzuki was because Archer's swords would autopilot defend him and the thing that lets tge swords do that is the original user's skills ingrained in the projections. That means Emiya might know how to defend against snake.

He gets Caught off guard, and is fighting defensively against shirou, the fight basically consists of Gil grabbing a weapon out of GOB and then having it knocked out of his hand (or broke) before he can get a swing in.

You do know that people we have seen beat Servants use up extraordinarily one time use items and risk their lives just to achieve them, and that the people noted to be able to keep up with Servants are people who stomp regular humans flat right? You know, like you'd have uncertain factors coming into a fight.

You should learn when people are trolling or baiting, though. Although I do admit some people are too biased, whether is about a character they really like or a character they really dislike.
But I guess it all comes down to the arguments given. It's much more reasonable someone that says "I dislike Shirou because he did this, because of that, because he thinks this way or he was written this way which I don't like because of these reasons" than "Shirou a shit because I say so". Then you know who you are dealing with.

Thats because of the nature of the Gem sword, Common stuff he projects seems to stay in the world (Like the pots in his shed). But the more unique an item the more Gaia says that x can't exist and destroys it.

>not Arrow boy.

They pulled with all their might, but they could not move him. He told them to pull harder, and as they tugged at the string, his head was severed. It rolled out from under the robe, and the men put it back. Next the men lifted the robe up. Instead of the boy, a very old man was sitting in his place. They covered the old man with the robe and pulled it away again, this time revealing a pile of human bones with a skull. A third time they placed the robe over the bones and lifted it. Nothing at all was there. But when for a fourth time they spread the robe over the empty space and removed it, the wonderful boy sat in his place as if nothing had happened.

First he came as a Red Shield warrior in a headdress made out of buffalo skin. He had horns, a spear, and a red shield. And two buffalo tails tied to each arm. The second time he was a Coyote warrior, with his body painted black and yellow and with two eagle feathers sticking up on his head. The third time he appeared as a Dog Men warrior wearing a feathered headdress and carrying an eagle-bone whistle a rattle of buffalo hoof, and a bow and arrows. The fourth time he was a Hoof Rattle warrior. His body was painted, and he had a rattle to sing by and a spear about eight feet long, with a crook at one end and the shaft at the other end bent in a semicircle. The fifth time his body was painted white, and on his forehead he wore a white owl skin.

I can see him as a very tricky mage class.

>>118839766
Magus were always more like a mass plot device than actual characters. That's why we get retards like Kayneth or Araya sticking to traditional magic to fight rather than study or assess their opponents and act according to their abilities. But Nasu prefers bestowing a simple "hurr hurr ALL magus are traditional and hate technology" than instead give each magus in the story its own character and way of fighting. If Kayneth had actually considered Kerry's use of weapons instead of magic their fights would have been a lot more different than "lol kerry owns everyone because magus too retarded".

Supposedly in Fate/SN characters like Rin also have other abilities like knowing kung-fu or whatever, but this is only brought once and as a plot device needed for Rin to outwit Caster in that one occasion, because it's never brought up again and it came out of nowhere.

Good mages aren't meant to be fighters. Shirou has spent his entire life training to be an Ally of Justice. While he's dismissive about its usefulness and poorly understands his magic he was accidentally compensating for his lack of natural talent, making artificial circuits. Not to mention he's been practicing archery and kendo most of his life. The former he was apparently unnaturally talented at. Last his Origin and Elemental Affinity as a mage are both very much oriented to combat. Which makes him being an archer still feel almost tagged on since we never see him interact with the Archery club beyond back story.

Seriously though, I like the Nasuverse setting, and I get that the whole "modern times suck" thing is just one specific law the setting adheres to, but I can't help but sometimes be annoyed by it and wonder if Nasu genuinely thinks it's true. But most likely it's just me.

But it move to cut off his arm because Shirou wanted to save Rin. It didn't attack vital area, just hand that was holding her
>>
>>118838570
What exactly does Shirou means by "saving people"? He doesn't want people to die regardless of the situation? His ideals are too general and vague. He doesn't consider circumstances or specific situations or even the people he plans to save in the first place. And he somehow likes saving people because he liked when Kiritsugu saved both of them? He goes around saying he wants to be a hero, wants to save people, but lives his daily life like any teenager would (minus his shitty training), and seems to not have any clear plans for the future. In which ways he wants to save people? Specifically how does he wants to be a hero? How does he plan to use magic to save people? Like, jesus, if the holy grail war hadn't popped up as the perfect stage for him to play his fantasy, who knows what he would have done with his life? This part of his character is too weak, the VN was never clear in this. We have Archer, alright, but we're never shown specifically how Archer was involved in the conflicts of the world or what those conflicts were in the first place. Hell, we don't even know what Archer was specifically. Was he a soldier? Was he just some vigilante guy that popped in to save people, superman style? God damn, how do you plan to have this as Shirou's core characterization when they just keep shouting the same shit without even going into details?

Yes, it is technically easier to kill a person with a gun than with a more archaic weapon. But if you're in an era where guns are readily available, they can kill you just as quickly. People also tend to move away from you when you shoot at them, into positions where it's easier for them them to SHOOT YOU IN THE FUCKING FACE.

I wonder what was Tokiomi's last thought.

Yeah, I remember that, but it was kinda vague. It just said, if I remember right, that magic goes to the past and science to the future, or something like that.
Or maybe I just didn't pay as much attention as I should have.
I think I also heard that technology decreases sorceries and weakens magic, but I'm not sure if that was in Fate or in prologue or somewhere else, and I really have no idea why it's happening. And also, it's a pretty stupid reason to hate technology. What's done is done, it's still really useful and would probably aid magi immensely in their quest for the Root.
But maybe I just don't get it...

Surprisingly though, only Sakura mentions how attractive she finds Shirou physically, as well as his personality, when all of them have crushes on him.

Like, would it kill Rin, Saber, or Ilya to talk about how he is kind of a beefcake? Poor guy is all self-confident about his height, he could use the encouragement.

> Whatever, I'm gonna fuck maya
I don't know who is more shit, Kerry or Shirou. Truly father and son.

Because it would make him even more OP.
Also, it probably only would work on points, not on lines. And he would need to be very precise.

But Rin encourages him on his height issue though. In fact, it happens next ep.

>>118841933
Rin calls him attractive in F/HA, and on this quote is from the date in UBW.
>Yeah. I can't make any promises about your height, but you'll be a great guy. You have my guarantee on that, Shirou."

...Why can't Shiki just splash water on someone?
Wouldn't that pretty much guarantee a fucking instant kill?
