Which of the three main heroines did Shirou love the most?
>>141115874
Loathe as I am to admit it, there's a good chance it was probably Sakura. On one hand, he was willing to search forever for Saber and in the interest of that, transcended his human limitations and joined her in Avalon after living a very, very, very, very long time.
But on the other hand, he gave up his ideals for Sakura. And that's a pretty big deal for Shirou. So, it's one of the two, and its probably her. She's still a worst though.
>>141116064
Saber was more important than Shirou's ideals too. Shirou wanted to fuck off with Saber instead of fighting Kirei and saving the world, but didn't suggest it because she'll shoot him down. She became his number one and he would do anything for her. Sakura's storyline wasn't novel, but this time the heroine didn't scold him if he gave up.
Rin is certainly the one he loved the least.

It's definitely Sakura that he loved the most (in Heaven's Feel) but Saber is the one who had the biggest impact on his life.
There's a reason Shirou's first meeting with Saber is something Archer remembers so vividly.
Who loved Shirou the most and was itIlya,IsseiorTaiga
>>141116527
Who loved Shiki the most?
>>141116527
Taiga. She had been Shiurou's mother figure for almost all his life. She'sd seen him grow up and become something.
Familial love is just as powerful if not more so than sexual or romantic love.
>>141116593
Shiki.
>>141116064
>he was willing to search forever for Saber and in the interest of that, transcended his human limitations and joined her in Avalon after living a very, very, very, very long time.
That's about as canon as CG dolphins and Sakura being a virgin. Just saying.
>>141116984
Realta Nua is the canon version, like it or not.
>>141115874
There is no right or wrong answer to this.
>>141117052
Rin is wrong.
>>141116593
Kohaku
>>141117062
Can't argue with that.
>>141115874
He loved all three the same, since Shirou tends to go overboard in his affection for people when he finally falls for them.
I mean, for Saber he literally spent his entire life being true to his ideas and because of his unwavering devotion and love for her he managed to defy all the odds and find her in Avalon after his death. And let us not forget that the memory that Archer cherises the most is when Saber was summoned when he was fighting his HGW as Shirou. That is some love right there.
And for Sakura he literally killed himself and was made into a puppet for her salvation. That is some love right there
Rin is the one that demands the least of him as far as any drastic actions are concerned but her support and companionship is crucial in his attempts to follow his ideals whilst avoid an Archer-outcome. That is some love right there. And its also the only route where the heroine makes sacrifices for Shirou rather than the other way around. It is probably the most balanced relationship in that respect
So before the shitposters and fanbois get into some stupid shitflinging "hurrr muh [insert favourite heroine here] loved Shirou most durr!!!" just remember that he loved them all the same.
>all these faggots saying that Rin is wrong when she acted the most like an actual partner instead of just a damsel in distress
Fucking underage
I don't know what i expected from current fatefags
>>141117240
Did you even understand the question?
What does Rin acting like an actual partner have to do with which one Shirou loved more?
>>141117288
Yes and I don't disagree with that but the reasons he gave are irrelevant since they're in regard to how Rin acts and not Shirou.
>>141117093
>Dr Seuss
My Childhood is ruined!
>>141117325
Thing is its hard to judge. UBW didnt give as an ending with a large timejump so we have never seen the results of the relationship.
What was hinted at in the route and in the anime is that Shirou is extremely thankful of her unconditional presence and support which allows him to go on to focus on his ideals.
>>141117260
>Hurr durr he tried to save all of them but did more so for Sakura and Saber because Rin wasn't as incompetent as them

>>141117240
>she acted the most like an actual partner instead of just a damsel in distress
Literally the least relevant and useful of the heroines when it comes to their own routes. Even the Taiga Dojo makes fun of her being overshadowed by Archer and Shirou.
>>141115874
It's all about cirumstances and chances to develop romantic feelings. Considering Fate is a MultiVerse, you can't just say one person loved him most.
>>141116593

>Literally

Anyway you are wrong.
One could in fact argue that Sakura is the least meaningful one i her route do to Illya playing such a big one in it. But it could also be do to their route being pushed together
All of them are extremely meaning full to their own routes, but you are somehow to stupid to grasp the relationship between Rin and Shiro because she doesn't scream for help every time she opens her mouth
>>141117586
I'm pretty sure Sakura qualifies as the most important in her own route as if to make up for being a background character in the previous two, considering it revolves around her.
The opposite is Rin, who is important and relevant in all three routes.
>>141117586

>>141117240
It's not a best girl thread. The Original Post is asking which one Shirou loved the most. What Rin has done and how she behaves in their relationship has nothing to do with the actual question.
Ilya. Family before bitches.
>>141117015
Never said I don't.
>>141117626
It wasn't really to make up things, but to have everything about her come to light. You find out why she and Rin had that strange tension in the Fate and UBW routes, why she goes pale and tries to change the subject yet us strangely curious about Shirou's activities after work. And if you didn't think something was odd about a guy like Shinji having a Servant, even when Rin blurts out that the Matou should have no people who can use magic and oddly changes the subject real fast when Shirou questions her about it, I dunno. Rin standing outside the Matou residence and asking Shirou what it feels like to be adopted in UBW should have been big flashing neon lights regarding Sakura.
>She instantly stops bring angry if Shirou says he did something for Sakura, something he notes but doesn't question
>She gets obstinate with Sakura at the weirdest times
>gets assblasted in the Fate route when talking about how she knows that Sakura often comes to Shirou's house to cook with him
Most didn't pay very much attention about the many things going on in the other routes. HF only just revealed them obliquely.
>>141117626
Fair enough.
>>141117657
Eat me faggot
I just woke up and haven't had my coffee yet so i could give less of a shit if the point got across.

>>141117745
Im not trying to make this into a best girl thread.
Im a Saberfag if anything.
It just annoys me that people somehow can't see how deeply Shiro appreciate Rin just because we didn't get the happly ever after stuff that Saber and Sakura got.
>>141117961
They added the happy ending to the anime
>>141115874
Sakura>Saber>Rin
>>141117883
But Sakura is almost as much family to Shirou as Taiga. He even flatly says as much. Ilya becomes family once the truth comes out.
>>141118013
>regarding any endings other then True End in any route as canon
Would rather not.
HF had some especially sucky ones
>>141117924
>this scene in hindsight
If Shirou hadn't cleaned the archery club for Shinji and run into Lancer, he would have ended up teaming up with Sakura instead of Rin. Imagine how different the story would be if that were the case.
>>141118073
I'm not sure how you came to that conclusion.
Sakura obviously.
>>141118073
>Imagine how different the story would be if that were the case.
Well seeing as he teamed up with Sakura "against" Rin in HF i don't really have to
>>141118089
She knew that a command seal was forming on his hand and wanted him to stay at home so that he wouldn't be attacked by others until her preparations for the grail war were done.
>>141115874
Are there any translations of the game that are reasonable, or should I try to get through the original with my half-baked understanding of Moon and a dictionary?
>>141118205
Mirror Moon's translation is pretty shit and I hate how people quote it
>>141118047
Sakura was a good friend but still friend. Having a sister is something more eternal.
>>141118294
Sakura is the only one he calls by her name, while he calls Saber by her class and Rin by her family name.
>>141116119
Which is a shame because Rin gives him the most dynamic relationship.
>>141115874
Sakura, and she loved him more than anyone.
>>141116527
Taiga.
>>141116593
It's one of Akiha or Kohaku.
>>141118205
The Mirror Moon translation is far from bad. The only major mistakes it makes that I can remember are translating "ally of justice" as "superhero" and removing the aternate Japanese readings of the UBW chants. Well, there's also some minor scene where a woman getting killed by Zouken's worms says "It isn't strange." instead of "Isn't it strange?", but that's about it.
>>141117240
Depends. Sakura helped out as much as was possible, given her powers were essentially fucked up from the age of five and her mana is continually being drained because her dad trusted an undead lich to not turn his daughter into a living science project. Even with her handicaps, she actually helps the gang a few times, Rider points out that she is quietly killing herself watching over Shirou by using her Servant despite the dangers in one scene. She doesn't have the advantages or freedom Rin has.
Saber jobs due to the story not being interesting if she had the full usage of her powers, which is a sword powerful enough to make city sized slashes. So she is given a power handicap due to Shirou, but still manages to fight extremely well.
Rin was the middle ground of being just powerful enough she wasn't game breaking on the protagonists side, but was vulnerable to being outclassed due to being a human magus. She has the advantage over Sakura due to being trained correctly, and also Nasu's mouthpiece. So it makes sense narrative wise that she got to look like the most competent person in the group, despite Sakura having pretty good talent and knowledge of magecraft in light of her inadequate (an understatement) training, and Saber being extremely powerful/helpful but seeming to job.
>>141118205

>>141118755
Shirou becomes Archer in none of the routes.
The Shirou who became Archer is basically Fate route Shirou except he didn't save Saber.
>>141118517

Will Saber accept Gil's cooking?
>>141118783
So the Archer that finds Saber is the one that tried to kill Shiro?
So is that his saber or Shiros Saber?
This is getting confusing now
>>141115874
Probably Sakura as they have been friends the longest. Though Illya is pretty high up there.
>>141115874
Rin, of course.
She's a perfect woman and waifu.
>>141118474
What do these mean? Is Realta Nua the censored version?
>>141118073
She definitely wants to help, but Sakura knows pretty well that fighting is suicidal for her and that Zouken just wants to take advantage, see the scene Bailing Hand on day 9 of HF. She knows Zouken is buttering her up to make his plans work, which is why she says to just let Shinji use Rider for now.
Her situation is more rock and a hard place than any other protagonist, so it's not as easy as just allying with Shirou. She would have to deal with Shinji's butthurt without hurting the idiot. Nasu kind of revealed in the Q&A for the UBW anime that if she knew about Rider and Shinji's plans for the Bloodfort, she would "make him even more of a wakame". And in CM2, Nasu basically admitted if Sakura treated Shinji like trash under her foot, instead of empathizing with him, she would have a much easier time. Her only problem is she knows Zouken is a troll.
She is smarter than she is given credit for, but people underestimate how hopeless her situation actually is. That and she canonical has rank E luck, they even joke about it in that April Fool's idol event.

>>141119318

>>141119068
It was more like a mix of him absolutely refusing to sacrifice her whilst being trolled by Kotomine (since in actuality, there isn't a need to do so) which if you understand his character totally, he does for the people he cares about. It was one of the route's themes of him struggling with what he wants and what he thought he believed in. Like the whole "cage" metaphor in UBW where he felt he shouldn't be happy.
He legit thought about abandoning the confrontation with Kotomine and Gil in the Fate route and running away with Saber and only stopped because he thought that Saber wouldn't allow him to do that. He accepted losing an arm and giving Saber to Caster to save Taiga in UBW. And in HF as I said, it's the fact he has severely poor information and options that cause his conundrum of "my percieved ideals vs. what I feel".
>>141119344
>not killing her dad
what a boring shitty damsel in distress
>>141119318
It's actually ironic you mentioned that, since it seems it's canon Tokiomi cognitively thought about the possibility of Zouken being a heretic but thought that if this was the case, four year old Sakura would have beaten him. Yes, he thought a four year old he didn't bother training would beat a 400 year old archmagus.
I know some fathers have high expectations, but that goes straight past it and arrives in pure lunacy.

>>141119599
You know it's funny, but Tokiomi might be the only parent that would look at the end of Heaven's Feel, and instead of seeing it as missing the apocalypse by a hair, and years of mandatory family therapy and counseling, you could hear him straight out of Akasha going, "That's my girls! I got one daughter who has a heroic spirit as her own private familiar and even mana to fuel the Association for centuries, and another becoming the student of a Magician! And all it cost was almost ruining our family ties and the entire planet! What a bargain!"

I'm kinda sad he's become a complete gag character in stuff like the UBW anime, he's a lot more pathetic when played seriously.

Didn't Archer flat out say that the Shinji in Extra was different?
Not really redeeming in that case.
>>141119959
Don't know man, I played Extra with Caster and she just said Shinji was a wakame. But in Extra CCC Shinji sacrifices himself to creep Meltlilith.
And if you play Extra CCC with Archer, Meltlilith wants to fuck Shirou.
>>141118840
The actual path Archer took isn't completely clear and has been pieced together from quotes from Nasu. In Archer's HGW he didn't save/form a relationship with any of the Heroines (Saber, Rin, Sakura), and didn't save them. Illya dies 1 year after the HGW, and he goes off to become Kiritsugu 2.0, for the most part. He apparently had a lover at one point, and he was betrayed by a friend, leading him to the gallows.
The Shirou that makes it to Avalon doesn't become Archer, because never made the contract with Alaya to become a Counter Guardian
>>141119959
Shinji Matou [character] P211
Matou Shinji.
He is a game champion from the Asia area, and he treats his participation as a Master in the Holy Grail War as though it were just part of a game.
He is an extremely selfish individual and considers himself to be one of the privileged few. He is a troubled boy who always considers those around them to be below him.
He sticks out for his rather immature behavior toward others, although it’s not unexpected seeing as he is a child who just reached the age of eight.
He tries to put up a strong front by projecting an avatar made to look like him when he will be 16, “I’m not a kid anymore!”
Shinji is actually a first-class Magus. In order to “make” an excellent son, Shinji’s Mother purchased the semen of an excellent man and used it to bear Shinji. This was done despite the fact that she still has a living husband.
The protagonist fights Shinji in the first round.
It is a battle between the protagonist who has no reason to fight, and the genius gamer who thinks of the battle as another game to play.
Like many other Masters who thought similarly, Shinji only realized that the Holy Grail War was genuinely a death game upon his own defeat.
http://tmdict.com/book/fate-extra-material
>>141119807
Its fine just play them in order
>>141120079
Shinji is also a Master that makes an appearance in CCC.
In CCC he is as usual; completely self-serving to the end, and altogether incompatible with the protagonist. Although he may seem like a pretty twisted individual, just a lonely eight year old kid.
“I’m lonely, I want to make friends.” Unable to ignore his true feelings, he makes up some reason to show up in the student council room.
His separation from Rider weighs on his mind, and he anxiously wants to return to the surface of the Moon as soon as possible.
While the protagonist has pretty bad luck with women, Shinji does too... well at least he has pretty terrible luck with Servants.
Shinji knows “the protagonist cried” because right before his death he was imprisoned by BB in an imaginary number space where he could search the vast universe of records, and learned about the ordeal upon searching for “things related to Shinji Matou.” ...in that universe the last thing that was recorded related to Shinji’s life was a vision of a friend he didn’t care about who was crying as he reminisced about Shinji.

Tokiomi is really is the worst character.
>>141120315
They did in the Fate route. When she walks to school with Shirou and Sakura. Sakura casually clues Shirou into how Rin's school idol "face" is much a facade and how she spergs out at people noticing her being less than perfect. It was surprising how Sakura nonchantly got Rin to say, "yeah, I thought I had this 'going to school like a normie' thing down, but I guess I don't". I think she even mentions her family's motto in the conversation.
So basically the player should already know it was a facade.

It would have been better if Nasu took a firmer stand on the script, but the mushroom is lazy at weird times, we all know this. Not much can be done now and it's pretty obvious Rin isn't the same kind of magus her father is.
While we are on the point though of Rin's facade. Knowing some revelations brought up in Apocrypha and the dictionary entries, do you think Kirei might maliciously giggle remembering Tokiomi if he knew that if Rin really got to know her father and his ways as a magus, that she would drop the elegance and become a Kung fu wizard or drop magecraft altogether?

>>141117626
Sakura was simply a plot device in her route. She had no real meaningful development or features asside from "person I must save"
As the guy above stated, Ilya is far more important to HF than Sakura in terms of the actual plot and development.
>>141116219
Saber is a literal cuck.
>>141118345
Old men love her tho.
>>141118325
Yes, and? He calls Saber "Saber" because thats what she tells him to call her and by the time her identity as Arturia is known he has gotten used to saying her name and he calls Rin by her surname as they are classmates.
If you want to be facetious you should look at it the other way around. Saber is the only one who calls him by his name, Rin addresses him with an equal honorific whilst Sakura just uses the term "Sempai" even in the True End of HF when they are very much in a relationship.
>>141117240
>Current
Its just the new breed of Sakurafags. They ignore absolutely everything inconvinient to them, which when you think about it is a vast amount of stuff.
>>141118710
But Takeuchi is the best Type Moon. He gives us maids and stops Nasu from writing Japanese-Twilight.
>>141119542
I'm honestly under the impression that tradictional magus don't have alot of common sense or people skills. How daft do you have to be to think a 4 year old stands a chance against a grown up let alone a 4 year old that didn't know shit about magic.
>>141119845
I wanna say you're right but he'd be spinning in his grave that his daughters are hanging out with with a heretic with shit magic, aren't pursuing the root and aren't trying to pop out tons of mana monster babies in that route. in the true ending Rin married some no name shitter I think. I think the situcation in HA would probably piss him off more because there's 2 servants along with his daughters all fucking a no name shit magus whose kids will not be mana monsters and that even through his kids control all of Fuyuki now it doesn't mean much if they aren't trying to access true magic. Maybe that was the dude's fatal flaw, he let his massive ambitions consume him.
>>141119542
That and the other "alternative" is Sakura get taken by the Mages Assocation and used as raw materials due to her relatively rare Element.
>>141123335
Isn't Saber Takeuchi's waifu? Who is Nasu's waifu?
>>141120875
> he decided that his ideal wasn't worth it compared to her
Incorrect. He just focused his ideals to only include her.
Sakurafriends seem to really struggle with actually reading and understanding the VN. Shirou without his "ideals" would quite literally be a non-functioning robot.
And he doesnt fight Rin and only fights Saber (Alter) because he has to (due to Sakura forcing Saber to fight him)
>>141123399
Nasu's husbando is Takeuchi.
But if you are wondering who Nasu's favourite character is, check here.
Shirou loves them all the same. He is as devoted to each in their routes as much as the others.
He is a person who originally didnt even think himself as worthy of love. When a girl changes this he falls for them completely and utterly. Depending on their situation he then goes to extreme lengths to make them happy.
He doesnt have a "love gauge" that is somehow different per route. He is entirely smitten with each heroine in their own routes.
He loves Saber so much that he literally breaks through into an alternative dimension to see her again
He loves Rin so much as she is a constant support to him and the partner who can facilitate his ideals whilst preventing him from going full Archer
He loves Sakura so much that he died saving her and now has his soul residing in an ill-fitting puppet body for her.
Shit is equal accross the board. Stop trying to imply otherwise.
>>141123501
so, saber?
>>141123713
Well, at least at the time the original game was released.
>>141123713
She gives him money. Of course he loves her.

No, in this case it does genuinely mean people who have jumped on the bandwagon recently and either fail to understand or refuse to understand that the Nasuverse is a multiverse where everything is canon.
I dont disagree with their view. Im telling you that it is outright wrong. It isnt a matter of opinion.

>definitely not the best character
Depends on your criteria. I'd say she's definitely the best female character, though.
>>141123839
It's kinda not, these were not the real characters but dream versions of them in HA. It might as well be a side story that will never be touched on again like every thing else Nasu makes as the man has made it very clear he does not do straight up sequels. Every single thing he writes is it's own universe so in the event of a contradiction or desire to explore more of said game he didn't have to tie himself to the same rules, world or characters. The only thing to take from HA is Bazett woke up, the end. We don't know which route she is apart of, we don't know what happens to her afterwards and that's fine with Nasu just like how we don't know for certain how things will play out for Tsukihime or Fate Stay Night's characters at the end of the route regardless of them ending on positive or negative notes.
It doesn't even matter what Nasu says either because he contradicts himself with every interview about the powers and settings.

Im genuinely interested in why you would think this. I mean I imagine we both played the same game but I just cant understand how people can have a positive impression of her after playing it.
And Im not saying this from a waifufagging perspective. Aside from the deadfish eyes and high raspy voice she is rather cute in design. However she was a complete non-entity for 70% of the game and the 30% that is supposed to focus on her never really develops her and even then she is off screen as the "route goal" for a solid cunk of that route. Heck, she then spends a large chunk of the time that the reader is with her in bed sick.
None of the above is Sakura's fault as a character. It is down to Nasu completely fucking up HF by having it be a collision of two clearly separate routes. However how anyone can actually walk away with a positive impression of her boggles my mind. Im not saying you cant feel sorry for her and happy for her in the end but her character and development in the game are just terrible.
>>141125386

There are several interludes and scenes where she's together with Shirou or Rin that are devoted to fleshing out her character, be it positive or negative traits. She's not flawless, but neither is she supposed to be. The fact that she's not perfect just serves to make her all the more endearing.

>HF is unofficial Illya route.
>>141125945
Except, you know she died and Shirou only cared for her as family. Not as a love interest.
And while Illya did have trouble, the route still focused on what Sakura was feeling and going through. Illya ags are only mad that she didn't get her own route.

Duh. No one is denying it. Sakura's route is HF.
>>141116064
>>141116119
That depends heavily on your definition of love.
In Heaven's Feel Shirou's relationship with Sakura is very unhealthy. She's constantly manipulative and possessive of him. Shirou's role in her life is basically being her white knight. Rather than a sign of true love, it looked to me like him giving up the ideals that shaped him until now was the epitome of him giving up a part of himself for Sakura's sake, a sign of a very unhealthy relationship rather than true love (not much unlike when abused wives arguing that beating means love). Then again Nasu was convinced this was a good development because somehow giving up an essential part of yourself makes you more "human", I guess.
Then there's Saber. In Fate, Shirou seems like he fell in love with the ideal that Saber represents rather than.... Saber herself. Hell, most of his development regarding their relationship is Shirou pointing out all the things that went wrong during Saber's life and how he thought they should have been different. He loves the idea that Saber means, but never seemed interested on who Saber was. In fact I think his description of her as the "intense class president" was much better example of Shirou actually taking a look on Saber as a person rather than spend 5 hours babbling about how she should have stayed a common girl running in fields of wheat or whatever.
Then again I'm not putting any candidate myself because the romance was possibly one of the weakest part of Fate. Nasu tried but failed horribly.
I want to become Saber's hero of justice.

Too bad it won't happen since you can't make an HF anime if the whole HF doesn't happen.
You can only like the normal end only if you are a wikifag or spoilerfag.
Shiro's deal in HF was that he decide to stop being hero and choose to be selfish cunt like normal people. Of course he's not gonna be heroic and sacrifice himself.

Being a unhealthy relationship is irrelevant to the point though. The fact that the relationship is unhealthy but still made Shirou give up on everything is just the more proof that he loved Sakura the most. It's easy to keep a stable relationship even when you don't love your partner that much, but few will be able to keep going when it requires so much from you.

>>141125750
I never said she was flawless or implied it would be a good thing if she was. Imperfections are what make a character but Sakura suffers from under-development. She never progresses beyond a shallow level of development and then a lazy "GUESS IM NOW INSANE" change halfway through the route.
Agan, not necessercily her fault because the route itself is poorly implemented and set out but it still doesnt put her on any good level.
>>141127475
>Sakura didn't kill on purpose
Nonsense. Kotomine literally calls her out on her bullshit.

>>141127371
I wish all VNs came with nice flowcharts like the this, the level of control this allowed me really got me hooked.
>>141127633
That was the breaking point. After constantly getting shit on, she finally snapped. But all the previous murders was not her.
>>141127582
Much to Sakura's encouragement though. Neither Sakura nor Rin did much to help Sakura's situation. Sakura's acceptance of it and "please dont save me" shit was the main problem
>>141127553
The only person she had killed at that point was Shinji, which was in self-defense. Or what, are you that retard who can't tell the difference between the shadow and Dark Sakura?
>>141127578
>I think waiting forever with your feelings as intense as the day you parted trumps Sakura's feelings somewhat.
This. Goddamn LE was a rollercoaster of emotion for me. The only scene in and VN (aside from Wanko's route in Majikoi) that managed to get me to cry.
>>141127513
That doesn't excuse things. The Shadow is more or less the "Get rid of Servants" button. Sure it's responsible for Saber Alter & thus Sparks Liner High but still.
>>141127567
That was only once she heard what Shirou had to say about saving people in pic related scene
>>141127582
If Sakura was the better person, she would have killed herself.
>>141127661
The Tsukihime one was confusing as fuck though, the flags were literally called flgA, flgB etc. Still it was pretty useful.
>>141127678
She did kill someone on purpose then? Fuck you you lied just like Sakura for the entirety of fate stay night.
>>141127692
That's the thing though. Sakura didn't want Rin to get hurt by her which is why she says "please don't save me". But Rin decides to say "Whatever then you're going to die" instead of being like Shirou and continue to try and help her sister that Rin claimed to love.
>>141115874
No competition, Sakura, the only one who really changed Shirou and made him deny his ideals.
Saber's route was shit, they fought for all the route about "hurr durr you're a gurl, you can't fight" and then at a certain point it went "ok, let's just fuck"
>>141127642
>Except Kotomine never fully understood that Sakura was literally being possesd at night.
He did, and he even was the one who first told Shirou about it after Zouken lied about it being Sakura's subconscious. You're just quoting a moron who didn't read the VN and took a scene regarding Dark Sakura completely out of context.

I'll be honest, I haven't read HF in a while so I don't remember exactly what is the deal with Kotomine. But the fact is (which you just confirmed yourself) was that it wasn't Sakura's subconscious. Therefore not making her the murder of the previous death before she went insane.
>>141119542
>Yes, he thought a four year old he didn't bother training would beat a 400 year old archmagus.
No, that's not it at all. He figured that if Sakura had a problem with Zouken it would be up to her to deal with it. Whether she'd be met with success or failure should she turn on Zouken would be up to her. Either way Tokiomi didn't think it was his business.
He didn't think a 4-year-old child would have a chance in hell against Zouken, but he figured Sakura's chances would improve over the years as Zouken tutored her. And the reason he felt confident in this idea was because he never even considered that Zouken would not train her as a magus to further the Matou family's interests. If he didn't think she would be brought up as a magus, he would never have let Sakura be adopted by the Matou family in the first place.
>>141127779
She actually didn't intend to. She just finally lost her temper for a moment, and accidentally used too much power against him. Her killing him by accident made her imagine that the nightmares might have been her doing after all, which drove her insane with fear and guilt.
>>141127977
It's frustrating for a super hero to watch someone who looks weak and small fight in his stead.
>>141127817
No, it was Sakura copping out again in her desire to be the "tragic heroine".
>>141128001
Exactly. The only people Sakura killed were Shinji, Zouken, True Assassin and Kotomine; all being irredeemable villains who had it coming to them.
>>141128045
Their relationship was still shit
>>141128135
I see you read neither F/SN nor F/Z. The scene where Kariya dies makes it pretty obvious why she's so reluctant to have others risk their lives for her.
>>141128187
>True Assassin and Kotomine; all being irredeemable villains who had it coming to them
>talking shit about Kotomine
>>141127873
She was already Dark sakura before killing Shinji? yeah you're right then that's not her fault poor Deshawn no Sakura she did nothing wrong.
>>141128015
Her intent was to end his life and she did, the rest are mental gymnastics. My point was to call on that wormfag bullshit Sakura doesn't give a fuck about the life of others even Shirou while Rin talks about killing but she truly cares about people, I don't even like her and I know that.
>>141128187
Shinji was manipulated by Zouken and didn't deserve to be killed like that honestly. Why Sakura deserves to be saved and not him?
>>141128352
Did I say she was Dark Sakura before killing Shinji? Nope. I said that it was the breaking point, the moment Sakura had enough and killed Shinji, thus becoming Dark Sakura.
>>141115874
Sakura > Saber >>>>> Rin
>>141128429
He actually wasn't, though. Zouken didn't really give a damn about him since he was useless as a magus. Shinji was just a psychotic narcissist who abused Sakura's kindness and pity for him.
>>141128433
She wasn't insane she was just fed up like you said Sakura murdered Shinji on purpose to silence him stop lying.
>>141128586
I'm pretty sure Sakura laughing after the fact the she killed him is the definition of insane.
But I'm glad you agree that she finally got fed up with everything and decided to kill him, thus becoming Dark Sakura.
>>141120378
Play the original, it's not hard to find. There are versions with the realta nua extras added in, but they keep the h-scenes, no dragon/dolphin/vampire bullshit.
>>141128648
It's ok to kill people because you're fed up with them? Also she was insane after killing him so I'm glad you agree with me that she killed him on purpose and that you post about Sakura never killing on purpose was bullshit just like always with wormfags
>>141117015

You two are cute.
Rin loved Shirou the most, and Shirou loved Sakura the most.
Sakura's just a slut who saw Shirou as an out from her fucked up life and Saber's a lesbo
>>141126678
I agree.
The way Sakura wastes herself away made me cry.
That True ending was shit compared to that.
>>141126845
There's no such thing as a fate thread that doesn't devolve into Sakura themed shitposting. it's like trying to talk about liberals and conservatives.
>>141128793
Since you're too much of an idiot I'll explain again.
The previous murders with the shadow were NOT on purpose. It was the shadow just using Sakura's body to achieve it's objective. When Shinji was abusing and raping Sakura, that's when she decided enough is enough of years of abuse and torture and killed him. When she decided to kill Shinji she became Dark Sakura.
Doesn't surprise me that just because we love Sakura, Rinfags/Saberfags just cover their ears and repeat the same "WORMFAGS ARE BULLSHIETERSSS!!" meme.
>>141128866
You mean the role where she was only the host and couldn't do anything about it? Okay.
>>141128001
Kotomine was kinda like sakura.
Iliya said that he and sakura got their hatred from Manyu
>>141129124
Can you please describe in your own words what exactly was the 'Shadow'?
I've been sitting here watching this whole exchange and it reminded me that I don't remember what exactly it was.
>>141122499
The modders struck a jackpot a couple of months back and actually cracked the voice files, but since then RL has kept him busy. He estimates that it would take a year at max to do everything, although I got the impression that if he gets freed/someone designs a script for him to automate the manual copy paste shit it would come out in months
>>141129230
We waited years for the F/ha translation. I'm sure we can wait another year for voices.
>tfw it'll come out in my final year of college

>>141129218
Not him, but the Shadow is the mud of the grail leaking out prematurely to nourish itself due to Sakura's body being an imperfect vessel for it.
It gradually pemeates into and corrupts Sakura over the course of the route, and whenever she's asleep or unconscious, it manifests through her body and acts on its instincts (which are, as the other routes and Zero make clear, to kill and injure as many humans as possible).
>>141129218
If I remember correctly it was Angra Manyu itself who was using sakura as her "host" to be able to fullfill the wish that was given upon him.
In order to do that he needed to be born, and Sakura was built as a secon graail, but inferior to Iliya.
Because she was inferior to Iliya she had not the ability to suppress completely untile she wanted the influence of the servant she absorbed.
So the shadow was Manyu who wanted to come to this world and was slowly eating her away by throwing her in a state of deep hatred, hatred which was there but was not really that strong.
The shadow helped her realize what happened to her and made her ebrace that hatred even though not completely.
>>141129124
>Since you're too much of an idiot I'll explain again.

Who talked about that?

That's what I said she was sane and killed him on purpose we agree Sakura is canolically a murderer your post was bulltshit.
>When she decided to kill Shinji she became Dark Sakura
No that was when she killed him.When she decided to kill she was sane.

Thank you, I try but I'm getting very tired of us going back and forth.

What are you talking about? it's freaking obvious after Kotomine tells Shirou that Zouken is lying about the Shadow being Sakura's subconscious.
>That's what I said she was sane and killed him on purpose we agree Sakura is canolically a murderer your post was bulltshit.
>No that was when she killed him.When she decided to kill she was sane.
You're interpreting these things as different events. The moment when she decides to kill and Shinji and does indeed kill him is when she finally gives in and becomes Dark Sakura. Shinji was her first purposeful kill, but all the others BEFORE that were not.
>>141129362
If they now only release Mahoyo as well.....
When is the HF movie out? I sperged out and read the summary for the route on a wiki because I was burned out on VN's. I feel like I should give it a proper read before it's too late.
>>141129871
Next year. You have time.
>>141115874
Why wasn't Shinji the main character instead of Shirou? He's a much more interesting character who much more easily give way to much more relatable themes and his inclusion in the plot is much less contrived.

I never said that the Shadow was Sakura's subconcious all I'm talking is Shinji's murder, follow the conversation, I am supposed to be the idiot here. You have to explain why the shadow didn't kill Shirou and called him Senpai through but that's not the subject here.
>Shinji was her first purposeful kill, but all the others BEFORE that were not.
Man why are you even replying to me? We agreed about this three posts ago she purposely killed Shinji before she went insane you lied here >>141127475. Admit it.
We have been over this a million times.

>>141116984
Sakura isn't a virgin in any canon, what are you on about
>>141116593
Hisui.
She's literally crazy in Akiha true or whatever it's called, the one Shiki dies.
>>141128820
Except it does. Realta Nua fixes a lot of mistakes in the old eroge.
Things can be retconned, multiple universes mean jack shit when the author retcons things like Berserker using his ME which are plot points.
TM re-released F/SN for PC, Realta Nua.
Stop using the multiple universes shit when it suits you.
>>141131493
Not him, but the extra things they added in realta nua are fine, more voices, music, some scenes, etc. That's all well and good. But to me, the h-scenes will always be cannon, they had the most impact, helped drive character interaction and growth, etc. Not this shit with dragons or vampires. That's a load of crap. Nasu himself said at one point(though I guess he contradicts himself all the time), he said that he was glad he put them in, as it was story for adults. So the version merging the rn extras like music, voices, etc, with the original is the best one, and the one that should be read.
>>141131230
>Sakura wants to kill Shinji
She thought it for a moment after years of him abusing her, and realizing she accidentally did it for real drove her insane. It's that simple.
>>141131328
>killing Shinji
>evil
>>141131879
Except Nasu literally said ages ago that he never intended any of his stories to be porn, in fact he never even wrote them, Takeuchi did, both for Shiki and F/SN.

[citation needed]
>>141117187
jesus Saber looks so fucking happy in that picture
>>141131995
Like I said, he contradicts himself a lot on the subject. And yes, people say Takeuchi did write a lot of them.
As for the scenes themselves, again, I don't see the issue with them. The one people most frequently don't like is the first once from Fate, but even that's not a problem. It's not like the idea of using sex/semen in occult or magical settings is new. You can say it's contrived for the purpose of having them fuck, but half the story has elements like that, things that happen or just are to make other things happen.
I'll never understand why people are so adamantly against sex/sexual content, especially when it comes to Fate. They have sex. It's pretty natural. And it leads to a lot of character growth, especially things like Saber's second scene, you can see how much they have come to care for each other.
>>141123276
which keep in mind, Saber always called every partner she ever had Master, Shiro was the one exception
>>141132272
>People have sex, it's pretty natural
Except in F/SN it's not you retard, nobody's complaining about the sex, people don't like them because they're garbage that doesn't fit and that's poorly written.
Stop pretending they're some sort of god tier romance development. They're bad.
>>Seiba a 3meter greek hero is chasing us like a bat out of hell!
>>lets have a quicky here, imma pump you full of mana.
>>Rin, you watch.
>Shirou you gotta fight the big bad dude that wants to kill everyone, let's fuck so you can fight Gilgamesh!
>My body needs magus semen senpai.
No.
>>141119952
it made sense if you were ever going to make the Shinji the clown, you do it in UBW, since it's the only one he survives
>>141129230
We need another gamecreater.
3rei soon:
>>141132577
>>141132272
None of the sex scenes in F/SN are "pretty natural" in fact they feel extremely out of place and extremely forced.
Shiki fucking Arcueid because he's in love with her makes complete sense and it really brings their relationship to a whole new level, muh mana transfer seems out of a bad comedy.
>>141132450
I'm not saying that there aren't different reasons for them to have sex originally. I'm saying that it serves multiple purposes, one of which is show a deepening relation between the characters. And while it may not be "got-tier" romantic development, I enjoyed them for what they were. In addition, HF is changed dramatically by removing it, loses a lot of it's impact at points.
It's fine if you don't like them. You've got rn then I guess.
>>141121923

Again, it's a difference in opinion, but I guess you guys have rn then if you disliked it this much.
>>141115874
Probably Saber, considering he literally loved her so much that he got into fucking Avalon when he died.
Friendly reminder that Shinji doesn't deserve to die in any of the routes, and that him living is the best outcome for everyone, Sakura in particular.
>>141134261
Whether he deserves to die is arguable, but I find it hard to believe that Sakura would not be significantly better off if Shinji without Shinji in her life.
>>141134514
It's shown at the end of UBW that she's happy with him, and that he's reverted back to his real self, the one that Shirou was friends with.
>>141115874
The Phantasm version of Caster.
>>141134633
Nasu outright stated that Shinji after UBW True would be pretty much the same asshole as before, only he would no longer dabble in anything related to magi. Getting better in this case just means he's no longer trying to suck the souls out of hundreds of people, and that's not even because of any moral reservations on his part.
>>141135121
Shinji was always an asshole, but he also had a good side to him.
>>141116064
This. Sakura is a terrible character but was the one for who Shirou was willing to make the ultimate sacrifce. Unhealthy or not she's clearly the one heroine Shirou shown the most care for.
>>141118177
Not really.
>>141117745
>Saber
>Not a Damsel in Distress
Pick one.
>>141132693
The same goes with Shiki and that dude in Kara no Kyoukai. Fate Stay Night is a whole lot of nothing sex wise compared to those two works.
>>141116527
I'm not sure it's a fair comparison since all three fall into a different category of love. Issei definitely loves Shirou the most in philia, Taiga in storge, and Ilya in agape.
