>>123113864
Doesn't she try to kil Shirou multiple times to win the war?

She's just trying to live properly as a Tohsaka magus while struggling to also remain true to herself. Her role in the story is to provide Shirou with the example of what a proper magus master is.

Implying she doesn't have character because her motivation isn't very grand or ambitious is pretty narrowminded.

>>123113885
No. Rin kills Shirou exactly one time in the novel, a bad end where he got his limbs cut off and was put in a jar as a mana source for Caster.

Literally every other heroine kills him more.

>>123113911
But in every route she tries to kill him as seiba no masta

>>123113923
No. She never intentionally tries to kill him. Even the school fight, where she threatens to kill him leads to one of the few bad ends that doesn't have any immediately dark ramifications. She just takes his command seals and wipes his memory of the war.

>>123113885

That's not really relevant. She's doesn't try to kill Shirou because she's a tsundere, as many 'violent tsundere' do, she does it because of their roles in the story and the war.

The violent tsundere archetype that anons tend to hate attack MCs with slaps/hammers/clubs/etc because of their tsun (in a slapstick manner, mind you), whereas Rin spares Shirou in spite of the image of a 'perfect magus' that she tries to impose on herself because of her dere.

2) end the hgw forever

>>123113864
>>123113954
This. The only reason she acts violently towards Shirou in anyway is due to the way. And even then she isn't out to kill him, just disqualify him as a master so that he wouldn't be involved.

The only Tsundere thing about her is that she likes to snark a lot towards him, and isn't very honest about her feelings or intentions. In other-words the Tsundere archetype done right.

Kagetsu Tohya is just straight up frustrating to play because you can get lost in it. It's sad because I think the scenarios in it are generally better, but I'd never want to go through it without a guide.

>>123114182

She wants to kill Sakura in HF, she's still too wishy washy to go through with it at times. Its been shown that if its her on her own she'll go through with it, but as long as Shirou is there to stand in front of her way, she'll raise up her hands and go "Looks like it can't be helped". She knows its a threat and the smart thing would be to eliminate her, she also wants to help her but she doesn't allow herself to feel that, since it's like naming a dog right before you have to shoot it. The closer she allows herself to get to her, the less she'll be able to pull the trigger at the end.

As long as Shirou says "Fuck no" or pretends like he has some plan, she can avoid doing it for now. Though the geass ending and MoS show if he wasn't there to stop her, then her rational side would take charge, but she'd end up paying for it for the rest of her potentially short life at that rate. Since even Kotomine says she'll be breaking down soon after making that choice.

That route might give her more character than her own route in some ways. It explores her Ciel side, contrasting her human feelings with the feelings of her duty.

As Ciel in the school realized she was unable to kill Shiki at the last moment as she ended up breaking down. Knife to his neck, he's just accepting it, but she can't go any further, for the first time she's confused. She can't go through with her duty, despite being the perfect machine up to this point, despite steeling herself, she can't deny her humanity and her love.

The good ending was only reached because Rin chose her humanity over her pride as a magus, which means something in the end. Sakura could heal from having her brain segmented by Gilgamesh, Rin blew up Zelretch's dagger already, the last weapon she had wouldn't have made a difference. However, in her last moments Rin realized her mistake up to that point, that she couldn't go through with it. She made one last appeal to humanity, and the power of love worked.

>>123114494
It's a controversial, but very important side to Rin's character. Showing she can be heartless, but at the same time it would break her, the pinnacle of her inability to choose between her humanity and her magus side. The wish her father left her with, in contrast with her own nature as a human.

She has the potential to go either way, but not without consequence.

>>123114494
>That route might give her more character than her own route in some ways.

Rin is characterized a lot like Shirou, where most of her stuff is spread throughout the whole game rather than having one route solely dedicated to covering her story.

The prologue puts you inside her head, the Fate route shows you her from an outsider's perspective, UBW shows her romantic side, while HF gives you her darker side. That's severely simplifying it, but hopefully you get my point.

>>123114530
It's like this

>Rin Tohsaka [Person's name]
>The eldest daughter of Tohsaka Tokiomi. The younger years of one of the heroines of Fate.
>10 years ago, Rin’s understanding of the Holy Grail War was about equal to that of Shirou’s during the Fifth War. That is, it seemed like she understood but she really did not.
>In the eyes of young Rin, her father Tokiomi was a great magus who must be respected and loved, but as for the coldheartedness that accompanied the ideal, that was a negative aspect of his personality that she failed to understand.
>If Tokiomi had survived until the time when Rin could have really understood her father’s personality, it would certainly have deeply affected the development of her own personality. Whether she would oppose that inhumanity and leave the path of thaumaturgy, or whether she would become a “perfect and coldhearted” witch like her father – no matter which one, this parallel world, for Rin, would certainly be one far away from happiness.

>>123114322
Same. Drinking Dreaming Moon was the best part of Kagetsu Tohya. It was nice to see them sit down and talk about stuff without having to go crazy on each other.

>>123114325
She's unsure of herself

Likes Shiki, wants to help her sister, can't understand her sister, feels guilty since because of her Kohaku was bad touched she later found out in a sense, as long as Hisui remains unemotional or robotic her sister will continue pretending to be happy since they traded places, she knows it's an act for the most part but seeing Kohaku even pretend to be happy still makes her confused like she wants to keep up the act, she keeps her own personality so it can continue, since Kohaku sacrificed herself so Hisui would remain pure she thinks its her responsibility to uphold that self which she feels guilty about, so she tries her hardest to never be touched by anyone as she developed a complex, with time she's almost forgotten who she really is underneath it all, or at least she doesn't know how to express it any longer. She know knows she has to keep up her current self so that her sister can be the Hisui of the past, since Kohaku said they'd trade back as soon as Hisui said she was ready.

If she could at least move an inch closer to seeing what was inside of Kohaku, what she was feeling, if she could understand her at all she could help. However in Kohaku's route she expressed her frustration at not being able to understand her ever since that time eight years ago when she broke.

In Hisui's good ending you see Hisui finally find some small gap in Kohaku's logic or self, when she was confessing to Shiki, so she could finally drill further into her and stop her from lying to herself any longer. It didn't quite end well really, she wasn't able to save her from herself even with her truth bombs.

That's a pretty good explanation. She really doesn't seem to have anything on the same level as the other characters, but that's probably why I like her so much. She's trying to help everyone, even though she doesn't know how best to do it.

>>123115665
People forget the context of the educated prostitute line in the game, despite that not being quite what the original line should have been from what I've heard. Rather all the H-scenes were translated rather strangely, as Mollusk anything wasn't really in the original. Still though people think she's gaping or something, but Shirou says she's incredibly tight in that scene, because she knows how to control the muscles down there like someone with experience. It's a vag that knows self-control, the muscles there are fine tuned. They have experienced countless battles and came out ahead.

She also somehow manages to avoid having meat curtains as the CG's show, as it still looks entirely normal. Which is rather a plus.

Not that any ero company would draw meat curtains since shit would be ugly, just like they won't draw armpit or pube hair. Shit would be a boner killer. So in the fantasy world of 2D, everyone looks rather perfect because it's the world we asked for, rather than the world we have to deal with. 2D is the perfect world, everyone is beautiful in every way until people try to bring real world shit into it to make it seem more realistic, and in the process they start killing the reason we left 3D for 2D in the first place.

Point of this post, pubes are gross.

It was more like rationality is all she had to go on and she tends to go too far with it.

Ironically, she perceived that the grail war's system was broken and that was what was causing the shadow, but she threw away that surprisingly apt notion to conform to "duty". Her last talk with Shirou before they entered the cave even highlighted that flaw of reasoning. She is afraid to have faith, because faith can fail you. She says as much to him.

So her rationality isn't always a positive thing, and she spurned Sakura's attempts to give the olive branch many times. Sakura isn't without fault on that part either, but the crux of things was that Rin kind of overbearing, but that is common for people who tend to be praised as genuises. Humility is hard for them.

Which is why you still see even in Hollow, there is a lot that needs to be repaired in their relationship.

>>123117102

I really like One Day for this, it has the perfect mix of comedy and character. And this little strip highlights the two sisters pretty well.

Rin works hard, but is also naturally gifted and is used to be being praised as such. She sees value in hard work since her hard work is oft rewarded.

Sakura tries her best, but since she often doesn't get that same praise even when having good results, she doesn't see the same value of hard work, it's just something you do, therefore confidence doesn't come easy.

It's interesting.

That's what you say, until you actually get to know BB, which is who that's an image of there.

Despite having a pretty banging body, I would definitely say that's one case where the personality far outshines the physical parts as being her major draw.

The body type is a plus, but with BB she was basically carrying the show off charisma. Even Gilgamesh could barely keep up, or she's the person who's infuriated him more than anyone else to date.

Naw, there was one scene that said it best, it's her generosity that is often really what shines. They have a scene where Rin, Sakura, and Shirou have lunch on the roof, and Sakura made the two lunch. Rin admits when they talk that even if she could make something of the same quality out of her own preferences, Sakura really shines at working through others preferences with variety, so her meals compliment the people she serves. That is an excellent factor for a chef. It shows attentiveness and adaptability. I think I remember another scene where she talks about changing the household diet a bit.

I'd still say that it fits the metaphor more that the boxes may seem the same, but the second you even start getting into the contents you notice they're not alike at all, and the flavor is different.

Second you meet the cereal and taste it, you'll notice instantly it's different. However if you're just looking at the box without knowing anything, you can't tell much.

It's partly because that pink vest that she gets from Taiga is just bad for her, and she looks 100x better if she takes that off. Darker colors work with her well rather than her image color that is the same as her namesake.

It's like how Satsuki is better without that awful yellow vest on her school uniform we saw during that April Fool's joke, and with her hair down.

>>123113405

Well, to be fair the goals of TM girls can shift depending on the route. But as long as we're only considering their purpose or goal in their own routes...

Rin's main goal is to keep Shirou alive. She'll use any method, even doing things that might maim him or make him hate her, as long as the result is him withdrawing from the war and surviving. Even actions that don't directly benefit Shirou, like her insistence on going after Caster, are still made with the goal of protecting Shirou, since he's going after Caster himself- so Rin wants to take out Caster first, before he gets himself killed.

Everything she does, from teaching Shirou the rules of the war (she was hoping Kotomine's crazy would scare Shirou the fuck off and make him withdraw), to trying to remove him from the war by stealing his command seal, to teaming up with Shirou against Caster, teaching him magic, using one of her command seals to keep Archer under control, trying to drive Shirou away after he loses Saber etc etc... She doesn't let it show but she worries about him pretty much 24/7 and everything she does is done with him in mind.

So, tldr, her objective is literally just 'Shirou'.

>>123117887
There's no need to argue against his subjectively shit taste.

Shirou. I'm not kidding. She was lusting after his dick long before the story started. The only thing stopping her was the fact she didn't know he was a mage (Kiri best dad, best mage, best guy- virtually everything that goes wrong can somehow be traced back to him). If anyone else but Shirou just showed up and said "Oh yeah, I'm an unlicensed mage that's been living in this city for my entire life and I don't really subscribe to the whole 'hiding magic' thing. And my magic is kind of, uh, not really cool with the Association" they'd be a vapor trail, not her partner in the Grail War.

I mean, yeah, she wants to succeed her father and family's goals, which is what drove her to enter the war in the first place, like >>123118056 said.

But Shirou trumps everything.

Because she knows Shirou is swaying and does it to keep him happy. Just like how she plays his wingman in Fate and helps him with Sakura in HF and never once tries to force a love triangle.

Basically she's a bro.

>>123118282

She becomes the centre of her own love triangle, really, given in the UBW end she has herself both a boyfriend and a girlfriend.

>>123118332

Even better.

>>123118056

We have to be honest, if we dig down deep in her spirit, she just likes being a magus and is a bit of a daddy's girl, who introduced her to that world. That is literally what supports her, her elegant father, the elegant family motto and all that.

When Archer questions her, she even admits she won't even use the grail. Even when most magi woulf love to take the shortcut to knowledge. She says the same thing when arguing with Ilya in the Fate route. She just wants the prestige. Objectively speaking, that is a pretty weak reason to enter a war where you might have to kill people.

She is like that cadet fresh out of the academy with all the promise one could want, but with little life experience.

Learning magecraft and having fun is enjoyable, and she loves her daddy. That is the core.

>>123118191
>Kiri best dad, best mage, best guy- virtually everything that goes wrong can somehow be traced back to him
I don't understand why people keep shitting on Kerry so much

>his wish was stupid
Which is why he was looking for a literal miracle to make it work. Wasn't really his fault the grail was fucked up, though the Einzberns really should've known by then. Not that they'd tell him considering he probably wouldn't fight on their behalf in that case.
>he fucked Shirou in the head
Shirou would've grown up to be fucked up no matter what. Kerry saved him from feeding Gil in the church basement for God knows how long. Granted the Seigi no Mikata thing wasn't very good but it Shirou misinterpreting Kerry's dying words, not Kerry fucking up somehow
>he taught Shirou magic terribly
At this point he barely had anything to teach Shirou and he was a broken man himself thanks to Seihai-kun cancer, and on top of this he was trying to prevent Shirou from ever using magic. He didn't think Shirou would be stupid enough to continue practicing it and he probably never imagined Shirou getting involved in the next Grail War or any instance in which he'd need magic, really.

There are actual fuck ups to fault him for but Shirou absolutely isn't one of them

Best girl

>>123118406
Would Rin really not use the grail to reach the Root?

I mean, that's what her dad would have wanted, right?

>>123118370

Then she eats the meal Sakura prepares the next day, and is silent. Nice try bucko.

>>123118439

I feel sorry for her. Would cuddle and tell everything's going to be alright.

>>123118370
Shirou, Sakura, and Rin all have their own specialties with cooking where they're unrivaled. Even your own image despite the filename states that she's about even with Sakura, not Superior in her field.

Sakura's shock is that someone could match her in her own specialty which she's trained in.

Rin was Chinese, Sakura was western or something, Shirou was Japanese? Rin says in Ataraxia that Sakura is better at keeping the person she's cooking for in mind and tailoring the meal for them, even if their cooking levels are about even. Rin is good, she's all around good though, but she'll make things her own way. Like she made the food spicy because she likes it that way, but Ilya didn't like it that way.

An entire thing during the last route was even them all trying to out cook each other. I think Shirou lost out but he gave his hope to Sakura at one point to try to knock Rin down a peg as he called it, since she was taking the top dog seat at the time.

Then, somehow Rin and Sakura ended up cooking at the same time the next day, Shirou asked Sakura to call Rin nee-san, and dinner turned out badly but they were happy.

>>123118439
Her mom was the nicest person to ever live.

>>123118480
And Ilya can make charcoal and eggs.

>>123118502

Sadly she didn't live that long.

>>123118480
Sakura is Western, yes. Shirou is Japanese, but Rin is better than him in it, and at least equals Sakura in Western.

Taiga never cooks that I recall offhand, and Illya has her maids for that shit.

>>123118503
Don't talk shit about Illya's black toast. The burnt bits are the best

>>123118529
Taiga tries to cook once in UBW I think and Shirou has to prevent her from ruining dinner

Why does everything Fate devolve into either cooking, Monty Python or shitposting?

Would Rin be gimping her family line by having a kid with Shirou?

The idea of a sane SHIKI and Sacchin waiting for Shiki on the other side hit me really hard for some reason. It was a powerful epilogue, way more so than Tsukihime's.

>>123118578

Because that's basically the only thing that we have left to talk about. Unless somebody brings up the new stuff, such as Apocrypha or Grand Order, and whatever's new about it (e.g. Achilles' RM generated some interesting, albeit brief, discussion), but Apocrypha at least has definite potential to also fall into waifuposting itself (Jeanne, Semi, Atalanta, Lolijack, Mordred, etc.).

>>123118468

The church kind of raised her in a convent while essentially treating her like a heretic because of the "ailment" she inherited from her mother, so she internalized that and claims that accepting everything is a mission to her from God.

Not really surprising she is a bit warped.

>>123118578

Because the fandom rarely reaches a consensus about things and instead of bringing up new topics normally, people tend to shitpost until the other people leave to go to sneak in their own topic. I have seen rather interesting conversations about Sakura's powers and Imaginary Element get shut down and relegated to the same tired comments about worms, saying she is a shit magus so it doesn't matter what she can do, or some such crap.

Blame the people involved, not the topic. Also cooking in Fate is great, what's wrong with it? Makes you hungry?

Do people really think that Lancelot was Superman fixing awesome food for her every day, or do they remember that she fucking hated the food back then, so of course it's not Mr.Perfect fixing anything there. Of course it's not "This guy who can do a lot of things, was he just fixing everyone's food and being awesome and everyone liked him, is that why Arthur loved the food back then?".

She especially hated potatoes due to Gawain's fixation.

Gawain believed in quantity over quality any day.

Shirou meant that Rin is equal in quality to Sakura's Western dishes, not that she cooks Western food. Sakura he admits is pretty much as good and getting better than him in Japanese, and Sakura is the only one who knows how to do pastries and desserts from scratch in the house, which she starts teaching Saber.

Rin tends to make great food, but people complain that she uses too much seasoning and makes it too hot, if I remember in HF, Ilya Ilya says she prefers Shirou's cooking and Sakura's beef stew because of that.

I think the only Japanese dish Rin ever makes is soba, which is quick. Rin is the kind of chef that has good stuff that fits her own taste. So intensely spicy Chinese dishes most of the time. I wonder where she got that from...

Everything is presented "rather" correctly, it's shown that he's read the myths and can reference detailed parts of it, but Nasu always puts his own twist on it. He relishes the chance to twist it up somehow.

His method is basically "Take one part of the legend, and exaggerate the fuck out of it".

He addressed it in an interview at one point, basically they put "accuracy to the myth" below "How can we apply this how we want". Maybe it was Urobuchi saying it while commenting on the Fate style while commenting on Zero.

You don't have a sibling do you. Sakura is envious at times of Rin, but openly fangirls her most of the time, and Rin tells Rider privately to take care of Sakura and help her, because she can be a gem with some refinement. She just never says this stuff to her directly because she is shy and firmly fits the overbearing older sister who admonishes you more than praises you.

Now if you want bad siblings, than Shinji is the worst big brother ever, never says kind words even when he knows her cooking is good, spills soy sauce on her new dresses on purpose, whines an out a smaller cutback on allowance, and is a slob who never bothers to clean.

Even after becoming a guardian, he still can't deal with those three most of all. UBW notes that he cares for Taiga, CCC states he still remembers Sakura, it should be obvious as fuck he still remembers Rin, and Ataraxia shows he'll always remember Saber.

Guy has trouble with girls, no matter what. He's close to them once, and they're his weakness forever.

Because if you're around somebody long enough you can tell them apart from normal people even if they try to behave different, Character tics, speech patterns, ect.

Archer speaks in Batman voice.

So Archer is just a sad puppy in the rain that can't go home?

>>123121371
So? That's not enough to hide from somebody whose familiar with you. Rin even notes in the game that he and Shirou sound alike at times.

>-Saber wants to undo her oath to the Nation of England
Incorrect. She's trying to FULFILL her oath.

If you pay attention to Archer enough in the game, you'll note there's a lot of times when he breaks character towards each of the girls.

People think he's never shown anything towards Sakura, but that's not quite it. Like that time in HF when Shirou found Archer outside the church looking lost after they found out Sakura was abused for years.

Doesn't know what to do at first, then he starts talking to Shirou like he's talking to himself in reality. "It's too late to change, after all if we did that, Emiya Shirou wouldn't exist anymore". As though even Archer feels like he wants to break away from himself, but it's already far too late for him to turn away, he's committed and steels himself once more.

Yet, at the same time he doesn't deny Shirou picking a new path, he just sort of gives him a warning. Tells him that if he does pick a new path, he'll be judged by himself, and the Emiya Shirou that he's been up to this point will cease to exist. He tells him that this is what "Shirou" would do, but he can't pick the path for him. Almost as though Archer knows that this Shirou might end up picking a different choice entirely, his entire self will be tested here. Yet that's not really wrong, think about what Archer is really trying to say there.

It's an odd scene, Archer is just sort of looking lost outside the church, then finally comes to terms with something.

Of course Archer has the most telling scenes with Ilya most likely. Like that one moment in HF.

Still cares for all of them, but he knows how to put on a poker face at this point.

There are probably other scenes with Archer towards Ilya in HF, but I forget them at the moment.

Just take this instead, it's a good moment.

>>123122505
You could always have a slumber party with Anon and talk about marriage.

It seems no matter what shirou is he'll always think in extremes. Homie needs some moderation in his life.
