>protagonist still goes to school
why do they do this?
>muh adults
>>137815425
why do the adults only do grail stuff after the kids are out of school?
>>137815489
come on zerofag, you should know that people will team up on you if you kill innocents
Distraction, every series that pulls a "this is actually a gritty action series" twist has the first third of the plot doing average anime hijinks to lull you into false sense of security to be subverted later.
It's the same for porkslope, steinsgates higurashi, megucas and bokuranos etc. etc.
>>137815527
only after reaching triple digits though
>>137815558
>It's the same for porkslope
I honestly can't believe Shiki still went to school during most of that mess.
He's clearly best Turkeyhandle
>>137815489
the punishment for letting muggles know about magic is usually a bullet to the face
only weaksauce mages would care about that during a HGW but then the people who talk about the rules are inevitably liars or newbies who don't know whats really going on
>>137815489
>>137815645
or more precisely it should be Kirei's job to go reprimand people for not sticking to them and getting the general public involved seeing as his the resident holy man and his innate compassion for mankind could demand no less
Shinji got off way too well in UBW.
Should've at least went to prison.
You know, being a rapist and all.
Also what is this thing I hear about with Rider and Ayako?
>>137815879
Ahh, I see.
Something about Rider sucking her blood. Also how HA makes Rider interested in her.
Is the "sucking blood" part in the censored version only? Does the actual eroge imply that Rider raped her?
It seems life is over after high-school
>>137815763
>Kirei
>caring ever
>>137815763
>Kirei
>Holy man.
That's some funny shit.
>>137815879
Shinji is Fate's Sasuke.
>>137816029
Never read or watched Naruto.
What does Sasuke do? Act like a thorough piece of shit? I thought he was known for edge.
>>137816009
Pleasure is a sin. So he chooses not to partake in it.
That's holy. Also he yelled at Gilgamesh and lived.
>>137815558
Act 1 should include a disruption of normalcy, yes.
>>137816076
>basically al qaeda during a war
>kills a bunch of mob good guy soldiers
>crashes the UN meeting and tries to kill all the presidents
>actions allow the villains to take advantage of the situation and leads to hundreds of deaths
>tries to kill all his friends
>is forgiven because he helps a lil in the final battle
>>137816341
I'm not seeing how this pertains to Shinji, who dies in 2/3 routes and is a shit who never accomplishes anything but raping his sister and killing a cup.
>>137816341
You forgot to mention how he treated a girl like shit the entire time he knew her, rejected her, said he hated her, then had a kid with her in the end.
>>137816415
Because he's an edgy kid that's forgiven for all his evil shit in the routes he survives in because he's the protagonist's friend.
You know, if you're participating in the holy grail war there really is no need to go to school anymore in the first place. As people have stated, nobody's going to be an idiot and attack you at school, however if you go to school on a regular basis there's a possibility your enemy will be able to follow your every move, have a great place to spy on you and figure out your daily routines. If you go to a secluded area there's a chance they could surprise attack and kill you.
Also what benefit does school have other than serving as a front any more? You literally may as well drop out. If you win the grail was, as far as you know, you'll get any wish you want, and if you lose you just die anyway. You'd be better off just dropping out and putting all of your time into participating in the war.
>>137816893
You can just take a 2 week leave. It's not that hard to catch up.
>people who hate Shinji
>hating on based Shinji
Alright guys, let me tell you why I love Shinji so much. It's pretty simple when I think about it. Shinji isn't just the best character in the series, he might just be the greatest character of all time. Just imaging him walking through Fuyuki, all the ladies swoon at his very scent. They know how he smells, the essence of his smell is sold under the the name of "Matou Orgasm." The very nature of Shinji is mystery. could he be playing a deeper game than even his creator realizes? The answer is yes, he has transcended such boundaries as the written world, and has free will to do whatever he sees fit. However, Shinji is filled with such guile, such arcane craft that he does not even use these powers. Why, you might ask? You will never know, for the mind of the Shinji is not one that is easily penetrated. Shinji is such a force of nature in his realm that nothing can truly touch him, the only thing keeping him bound to the page at all is his will to exist within the preordained boundaries of his world. Shinji is not only beyond the comprehension of us, he exists within a plane of true focus and beauty. Observe his playful smile, his gourgeous and rippling biceps, his gallant nose, and most importantly, his eyes. His eyes, like pools of sapphire, provide the only glimpse into the true machinations of Shinji. Do not stare into them. Many good men have gone mad in the attempt. Shinji is not just a character, a formless collection of words and images, he is himself is the binding that holds the saga together. Without Shinji, the entire Fate series as we know them crumbles.
These are just of a few of the reasons why I like Shinji so much.
>>137816950
That works too. Taking some sort of break would be advantageous at least.
>>137817110
How would he explain it to Taiga?
>>137816468
Er never got the impression that Shinji was forgiven or that he was anybodies friend. He doesn't get murdered in one route because murder is wrong though.
>>137817253
>I'm fighting in the grail war Taiga.
>What's the grail war?
>Well
>Uhh
>hmmm
>Saber do that sword thingy with all the lights and shit
>what do you mean you need more semen?
>I just gave you a whole bottle!
>>137817321
.
>>137817371
Shinji never did anything wrong, also
>manga
School
Battle
Harem
>>137816893
Going to spy on Sakura is the only reason Rin has for going to school whether it's the holy grail war or not. That and keeping the other people there from getting eaten. Opposite reason goes for Sakura and Shinji. They could both get a diploma through hypnosis.
Shirou is the only one earnest about his studies. Oh and Kuzuki has a job and can only make time for his fiance's hobbies in the evening.
Grail war was not even that important in nasuverse. Some literal chuuni 3rd rate idiots participated.
No one serious enough cared about it.
>>137817542
Was mostly talking about Shirou in that situation.
>>137816893
You don't automatically die if you lose the war, once your servant is out, you're meant to be able to get protection from the church or something
Although, since Church is Kirei
>>137815395
>series has protagonist being an adult
>some people pay money for it
>series has protagonist being a teenager
>some people buy it plus all the teenagers do too
Gee I wonder why.
>>137816076
>>137816029
ends with worst girl that's it
>>137817371
He didn't deserve death in Fate, he did in UBW, he was Ruthlessly murdered by Illya's servant in Fate and His servant Ruthlessly murdered Illya in UBW, I guess shirou can't have his only friend and sister to co-exist at the same time.
>>137817965
How'd Shinji check out in the Fate route?
>>137817613
Well, it WAS important, as a ritual to gain access to Akasha. However, since the three families were stingy cunts who wanted said glory for themselves, they never let that little tidbit get out, leading the only participants to be said families and aforementioned chuunis.
>>137817764
>implying fate/zero was a flop
You don't know who the other Masters are. If one other Master finds out a kid suddenly stopped showing up to school when the War started, he can easily swing by your place to put you down.
>>137818369
That's retarded. I can see some dude going around murdering 3rd graders with the flu right now.
>>137818039
Ded
Why are guys named shinji mentally unstable?
>>137818039
Baasaakaa tore him apart shortly after Seiba blew Rider out of the sky.
>>137818455
Thats exactly what happened, remember when Lancer killed that family, only the little girl survived because she was in the sickhouse.
>>137818566
Shinji's a good boy. He didn't do anything.
>>137815994
He seems to care quite a bit when it comes to mapo tofu.
>>137815994
>>137818830
I always wondered how Rin made it to Shirou still a virgin after having a Priest as her guardian
>>137819045
Because she's a girl.
>>137819116
Point taken.
>>137819045
This means she's not a virgin.at least not her anus
>>137818566
Why are sakuras always bitches and whores ?
>>137818586
Pretty sure Zouken was the one who did it.
>>137820544
They were killed with a spearwound, so it was either lancer or rider, either way my point stands.
>>137818238
Wouldn't the counter force get involved?
>>137820937
Counter Force don't give a squirt of mosquito piss if someone reaches Akasha. It just doesn't want humanity to destroy itself and the planet.
Besides, the three families are unrelenting fuckups who never had a chance to begin with, so no worries.
>Einzberns clinically retarded, summon the fucking devil to help them win
>Makiri suffering from brain rot, bloodline in decline
>Tohsaka cursed with selective retardation in critical moments
>>137820274
Why are Rins always the best girls?
>>137820274
No, they're always the best.
>>137821212
Say that about the Naruto one, I dare you.
Do you guys think Shinji humbles after the war? Ataraxia doesn't count.

>>137817100
Go to bed, Shinji.
I'm surprised Shinji was still sane after having Grail shoved in him and whatnot
>>137815395
Japanese life ends after highschool.
>>137825311
Let's face it, he was going to try out forceful penetration sooner or later.
>>137815395
The Nips don't have much land or space for farmland, so they improvise. Basically, high school is a pasture wherein they fatten up children's minds and bodies until they're perfectly tender. Following 'graduation', through a lottery system, approximately 50% of all graduates are selected for meat processing, typically the bottom half of the class academically, but extracurriculars are taken into account as well. Barring high schoolers with connections, job experience, or a public-facing job, none are spared.
This is why the Japanese perception that life ends after high school is so prevalent in all their forms of media. Because it usually does, and even the ones that survive wind up living a soulless life devoid of enjoyment and filled with survivor's guilt.
>>137825818
A barbaric land.
>goes to sleep at like 1 AM
>wakes up at 6 AM
>also does night activity
>still goes to school
Does Shirou not need to sleep at all or something?
>>137826109
5 hours is more than enough if you get used to it.
I get less sleep than that on average by now.
>>137826109
>5 hours of sleep
Lazy boy! Sleep all day! Honorable hardworking Japanese salaryman need sleep only 3 hours! And that on weekends! On weekdays sleep 2 hours on cot in office!
>>137826219
Well I was under the impression that 8 hours is the norm or whatever
Also I forgot that because of the nightmares, he probably doesn't sleep too well
But the answer is probably "shhh, don't think about it"
>>137826495
8 hours is supposed to be the healthy amount of sleep. Not everyone actually gets that.
>>137826495
>8 hours is the norm
8 hours is a privilege
>>137815395
Initially, it expresses that Shirou is in over his head and refusing to face up to the situation he's in. Later, when he knows about the barrier around the school, he keeps going to look for the other Master who set it up. (This is also one of the reasons Rin stays in school, because she learned about the barrier right off the bat. The other is Sakura.) Sooner or later in all routes, he either stops going to concentrate on training and other war-related things during the day, or the school is closed due to Shinji setting off the barrier and everyone collapsing.
>>137815489
Battles between Servants are only fought at night to preserve secrecy. Even crazy people like Gilles observed this rule.
>>137815879
Rider attacked Ayako and sucked her blood on Shinji's orders. Later, in HA, she has a fixation on Ayako because of this and stalks/hits on her, much to Ayako's discomfort. (It's not nearly as funny as the pick-up lines she tries on Saber when Shirou and Sakura need a distraction, though.)
>>137817253
When he decides to do just that in two different routes, he just tells Taiga he has to do something he can't tell her about, and she's okay with it. Yakuza family values, and all that.
>>137826109
I did this during high school. You can't keep it up forever, and I'd typically sleep-learn through CS/Engineering classes (seriously actually worked because I was on the cusp of unconsciousness the entire time), but otherwise I could totally operate on 4 hours sleep for 5 days consecutive. Mostly spent my afternoons and evenings either working on projects or watching anime/reading VNs.
Good times.
>>137817321
sakura forgives him and shirou does and would consider him a friend in any of the routes
>>137826109
my grandfather did this, no idea how he could work on the farm all day, drink all night and wake up right at 6am like clockwork.
>>137815395
Well shirou is dumb but at least he stop going to school during heaven feel after things got serious.
>>137815489
Because rules stated that the battles must be carried out in secret so most of the masters only fight during night.
>>137815969
HA!
