I think secondaries most likely haven't yet understood that Archer is Shirou yet, or rather, they wouldn't if that wasn't the most spoiled fact in the internet.

The VN made it much clearer, the time I began to think it was like that was when Shirou called Tohsaka and Tohsaka thought it was actually Archer on the phone, and when then when Shirou retrieved a second pendant it became clear.

On the anime it still seems less apparent, it's possible there will be people who will only realize it in the Archer vs Emyia fight.

Killed and raped a lot of people, and was kind of shitty and unrepentant throughout. Even when given second and third chances, he did not repent, he only went harder towards that path.

Especially during that one comical scene where he tried to rape Tohsaka where he went from Arrogant shit, to cowering, to arrogant, to cowering, to arrogant, to cowering, to arrogant, to cowering, so many times in the same scene.

The world itself was saying "Learn your lesson already", yet he still refused. The second he was out of harms way he deemed to go right back to his evils.

There's not really any other antagonist in the story that's like that in a sense.

Shinji...I don't get why he gets all the hate on /a/. FSN is just written to make him out as the bad guy, when really he's no worse than any of the 'protagonists' and a better person than most of them.

What are the main complaints? He raped Sakura and stole Rider to use in the war?

Okay, let's get this straight. He never fucking raped Sakura. He never did it. He never did it. He never did it. He never did it. He fucked Sakura.

Let me ask you this. WHO IN THE GAME DIDN'T FUCK SAKURA? You can't even name one fucking character who hasn't plugged her loose cunt! She is the kind of bitch who will act like she doesn't want it when she really does. She'll say No! while having multiple orgasms. Shinji knew this, he's a fucking ladies man. He knows what filthy whores like Sakura want.

And there's this other big bitch you guys have with him. He supposedly stole Rider and used her in the war for his own greed.

Objection! He was worried about his one and only precious sister. Is keeping your loved ones from a brutal war so wrong? When Shirou does the same thing to Saber it's like 'oh he's so manly', but when Shinji does it it's wrong? He just wanted to protect Sakura. He probably was going to use his Holy Grail wish to tighten her cunt back up or cure her syphilis or something.

The story was written to make that faggot Shirou look good. Objectively, Shinji is a far better character than Shirou. At least he has the balls to take action decisively instead of dicking around like Shirou, and if he weren't stuck with the weak ass servant Rider and no plothax he probably would have won the war.

I remember Rider saying that she did it so Sakura didn't have to no need for command spells. Funny enough even in HA Shirou never truly fucks Rider since it's a dream. So Shinji won on that front.

>ever since he projected Kanshou and Byakuya though
I guess that the adaptation hasn't gone particularly in depth on the topic of how he projects things and how Shirou does magic. What with no inner monologues and Shirou going through the process in his own mind.
That, and no Fate route with Shirou projecting Caliburn and Avalon, and all that other jazz.

I mean, Shirou projecting Kanshou and Bakuya lays it pretty deep that they are one and the same regardless. But to a secondary who isn't familiar with Shirou's magic, might easily come to the conclusion that Shirou is able to project Archer's weapons due to simply having the same power as Archer, and not because it's within the range of Shirou's own magic. Which is kind of moot, because Archer's ability is Shirou's magic, but a secondary might be inclined to think it's the other way around.

If Gil is almost on par with Saber or Berserker, there should be no fucking way for Shirou to match Gil with just faster reel in of swords. Nasu could've made the fight less asspully in the anime by saying Gil is much weaker than the other top tiers without his treasures.

Stop being delusional, Archer can't project things. That's Shirou's magic, Archer merely materializes his noble phantasms to fight like all servants. His NP's involve some strange China swords and an arrow of some sort.

Fucking faggot Shirou is the one copying his swords without asking, without realizing what great legendary hero he probably is here.

Just because Cu manifests a spear into his hands doesn't mean he's projecting it either. Projecting is something only Shirou does, not Archer.

Projection, Strengthening, Analysis

Those aren't three magics, and Shirou cannot use any of them in truth.

he can only use one magic in the end, while all three listed above are just byproducts of the real magic, while they don't work like the actual versions of that shit work.

His shit doesn't follow any of the same rules.

Rin keeps getting things confused for most readers in different routes because she's all "This is how projection works", when it's not how his projection works. Which is kind of a point in itself.

Nasu has some wierdly asspully ways of justifying how Shirou's magic is different. It's not even really analogous to Kiritsugu's ability to use time magic and be a bamf without being a great magus inherently.

>>124560019
No, not at all. Trace On let's him be able to fight better but unless he holds another Noble Phantasm in his hands it's not really gonna be much a fight. Similar to being in Gilgamesh's hands the noble phantasm Shirou would trace or take can't be used to its true potential. I'm pretty sure Saber would just excalibruuuuuu Shirou away and end it there. She also shits on him when they fight with swords.
>>
>>124560019
People never get how Shirou's shit works, "He's servant tier, UBW is the ultimate I WIN card, Nasu is a hack and shit if he says otherwise"

It's a trump card ability that in most cases would drain the user far faster than the opponent, it's stated it would lose to most servants if all you did was go "Poof, here's my RM, I win so hard... stop hitting me, you're supposed to lose". Against GIlgamesh it's a high counter, but even at the end of UBW Shirou says he can't match any other servant with it, and there's a reason Archer doesn't just laud it out during every fight he has either.

UBW presents some chances, if you don't use it like a retard like how some people think it works "Its so strong, it beat GIl so it can beat anyone, DOWNLOADING STATS it can do anything, he wins always". Even Nasu points out a dozen times the weaknesses of this ability and how he'd lose to any servant that wasn't GIl if that's all he did, yet people still insist on wanking him almost as hard as Shikiwankers without understanding shit.

Archer had to rely on many abilities he's gained over the years, insight, intelligence, minds-eye, in combination with tracing swords to stand a chance.

It's nothing that just lets him match Saber, or so optimal like that if that's as far as your reasoning really goes. Even in SLH he didn't try to use UBW, he used the accumulation of all of his abilities and training that symbolized his entire journey in life. Maximizing what little talent he has to beat even monsters with just skill. Unlike GoB it requires mana for each sword spammed in a bad way, that's not the optimal way.

Archer's method of using it is much better
>>
>>124560146
Then why can't Gil obliterate him? He has B rank strength. In fact why do his swords even break when Shirou matches them with the same sword? Shirou's swords get the rank downgrade, his swords are inferior. He has inferior swords and FAR inferior stats.

>Nasu has some wierdly asspully ways of justifying how Shirou's magic is different.

How stupid are you. This isn't something out of nowhere, this is something there from step one of the VN.

True Projection magic takes an object, puts a false layer of reality over it, and it shatters in an hour. What he does is pull shit out of nowhere, with no Earhtly basis, that has more mana than him somehow.

Shirou just thought "That's projeciton isn't it?", and RIn went "Well, that seems like projection" because she couldn't rationalize it either.

However it was never some weird or asspull way as it was never that shit from the start, rather from step one it was shown it wasn't projection magic in truth, it was an ability that made him a heretic that breaks the rules of magic.

It's just that people around him who are very logical in nature can't understand shit he's doing, so they go "This seems like Projection magic, but what you did is impossible, but it's clearly projection magic so I'll tell you how it works. Projection doesn't work like you did it, it can't kill servants either", "Didn't I just kill Berserker with it though, basically anyway. I mean Saber did most of it", "That was impossible so it was impossible, but this basically seems like Projection magic".

You could just see it as her trying not to say he's a heretic, but he only realizes the truth about his shit for the first time at the end of UBW, and they go even deeper into it in HF.

In HF Rin prepares materials to sacrifice for Shirou to project to gem sword. Not knowing how his projection is different. Meanwhile Ilya goes "Rin is just wasting her time, I don't care, you'd need to use Archer's arm to trace that shit in your current form. Because your projection is different from projection".

She knew this because she ate Archer

Also Shirou's shit hangs around for months, while Rin kept saying "That's impossible, bullshit"

Real projected items are supposed to shatter almost immediately or within the hour

His shit only breaks when he stops believing in a certain way. When he doubts the form, or creation. It's a plot point from route one; in every route Rin goes into his shed and sees some impossible shit, and goes "He's a full heretic".

It gets explained further on and in HF, though. Do you not remember swords literally growing out of his body? "My body is made of swords" indeed

It's just attribute

He literally cannot do even the simplest spell of any other nature, he can only create shit like this from his mind. His circuits were only made for this one thing, due to Avalon.

He's not a magus from the start, he's a spell-caster type, in other words a specialist. If asked if he can even cast a simple fireball he never could, but he can make a sword at least.

Kiritsugu was also a spell-caster type perhaps.

That doesn't have much to do with it, that's just his origin/element trying to protect him in the only way it knows how.

Like if your origin was bees, and any time you were injured hundreds of bees came out of your wounds and stung everyone around including you while trying to protect you. It means well, but it has no... it's just how his body works basically.

Archer's arm was constantly damaging him all over, mentally as well, so his body kept trying to defend him by making blades, as more blades flowed in in an odd way.

He can, Shirou even notes that if he had let up for even a second or let Gilgamesh regain his mind then he would have lost.

Gilgamesh lost through a combination of factors, but even then Gilgamesh could have still snatched victory if Shirou had played it wrong at all at the last step. he was a human against a servant, there were hundreds of ways to lose, and one way to win, he could not let up for a moment and take that chance.

Even he admits GoB surely is better than UBW if he let up and let this guy pull out something in particular, surely there's some weapon he cannot have or cannot trace, so before he can use it Shirou must finish him off and deny him every chance to strike.

Though the short match they had in Fate route should tell you some reasons why this match is bullshit. Even with "Tracing stats, abilities, fighting strength", he couldn't match Gil for more than an instant in direct combat as Gil was just using his own skills in that moment.

Gil was just pulling out weapons and using them with his own skills which supposedly aren't so much, Shirou was tracing Arthur's skills, and he could not come close with that shoddy imitation.

That was Fate route, Shirou admits he can't come close to Gil in even skill with an imitation of Arthur's skill, and gets his ass kicked seconds later. An imiation of Arthur's skills let him survive a few seconds against GIl playing around pulling swords out, but he still got his ass kicked in a straight fight with no frills while tracing abilities of someone else.

And on none of those occasions was he able to actually fight one-on-one against Servants even with the copied experience.
