Emiya Shirou

canon divergent portrayal of emiya shirou from the fate series. aged around 22-23, this shirou survived all three routes, with every outcome and has memories from hollow ataraxia. sakura supplies him with an increase in magical energy. with the help of both rin and illya pushing shirou further in his training. This version of shirou later goes on to become a vessel for muramasa, having his soul rewritten.

Experienced all three Fate/stay night routes and Hollow Ataraxia.Trained by Rin (magic theory, mana control) and Illya (body/soul stability, sorcery knowledge).In a mana-sharing relationship with Sakura, dramatically increasing his magical reserves.Mastered Unlimited Blade Works and trained in live combat for years.Retains the idealism of FSN Shirou, but tempered with Archer’s pragmatism.

| Endurance | Reinforced body + Illya's enhancements allow more projection without dying. | B |
| Mana | Sakura’s supply + Rin’s training = massive improvement. | B+ |
| Luck | Situational (usually bad unless plot demands it). | D |
| Noble Phantasms | Has access to a wide arsenal via UBW. | A (with caveats) |magecraft capabilities| Ability | Description | Assessment |
| ---------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------- | ---------------- |
| Projection | Can replicate most weapons flawlessly. Comparable to Archer. | ✔ Fully mastered
| Reinforcement | Can safely reinforce body and weapons; used instinctively in battle. | ✔ stable
| Unlimited Blade Works | Can deploy UBW much faster, with minimal incantation. Full control of internal space. | ✔ Fully awakened
| Broken Phantasm | Can overload and fire projected NPs. Not as spammy as Archer, but can use tactically. | ✔ Functional
| Reality Marble Stability | Enhanced through Illya's support. No longer strains or breaks his body. | ✔ Controlled use
| Other Magecraft | Minor spellcraft from Rin’s training (barriers, analysis, mana manipulation). | ✔ Utility-tierCombat skills| Style | Description |
| ------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Dual-Wielding | Uses Kanshou and Bakuya fluently. Styles after Archer. |
| Adaptable Weapon Use | Uses different traced weapons situationally: Gáe Bolg for anti-personnel, Caladbolg for bombardment, Rho Aias for defense. |
| Tactical Combat | Thinks in terms of feints, spacing, terrain, and projection timing — a mix of Archer’s strategic fighting and Saber’s chivalry. |
| Broken Phantasm Usage | Fires Caladbolg or similar heavy-hitters as mini-nukes, typically at range or mid-air. Not rapid-fire, but devastating. |
| Hybrid Swordmage | Uses projection + reinforcement + martial skill in fluid combinations. Could fight multiple Servants briefly. |Combat Role: Mid-to-close range tactical combatant with artillery capability.
Strengths:Versatile — can adapt to many opponents.Unexpected tactics due to wide NP knowledge.High survivability thanks to Rho Aias, Sakura’s mana, and body reinforcement.
Weaknesses:Still human — no spirit form or immortality.UBW and Broken Phantasms have mana cost and cooldown implications.He can’t outduel top-tier Servants (e.g., Gilgamesh, Karna) without cleverness.COMPARATIVE SCALING| Character | Matchup Potential |
| --------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Archer (EMIYA) | On par or slightly surpasses due to better mana and cooperation. |
| Saber (Artoria) | Could go even in a duel; loses if Saber goes all-out with Excalibur. |
| Lancer (Cu Chulainn) | Close fight, Shirou can counter with Gáe Bolg, but Cu is faster. |
| Gilgamesh (No serious intent) | Could win by spamming NPs and UBW if Gil is arrogant. |
| Karna or Scathach | Loses — they’re divine-tier servants. |
| Caster (Medea) | Can potentially win if she doesn’t preemptively disable him. |
| Shirou (FSN Base) | Vastly superior in every category. |
| Kirei Kotomine | Can win unless caught off-guard by sheer martial arts prowess. |POTENTIAL FUTURE GROWTH
Learning actual True Magic (via Illya’s legacy or Root access).Fusing UBW with external elemental affinities (like adding fire/lightning properties).Embedding a fragment of Avalon into his body (like Saber), granting limited regenerative properties.

Post-Fuyuki WanderlustIn the quiet aftermath of Hollow Ataraxia, Shirou's restlessness grows. Though Fuyuki finds peace, he can't shake the feeling that his reach is too short. That ideal still burns in his chest—not just to protect, but to prevent. After persistent arguments with Sakura and cautious warnings from Rin, he enlists in the military under an assumed identity. He doesn't join for patriotism or politics—he joins because it's the only system with global mobility and sanctioned violence.A Soldier with a Blacksmith’s SoulShirou excels. His adaptability, situational awareness, and ruthlessness in close quarters draw immediate attention. He receives firearms training, specializing in sidearms and long-range rifles, echoing Kiritsugu, but never with love. He treats guns like borrowed sins. Only when necessity demands it does he wield them, and only with disgust. But his bow, his blades—those remain his truth. Projected arrows tipped with broken phantasms explode like cursed prayers in enemy formations.Eventually, he's pulled into a clandestine task force known unofficially as “The Obsidian Wing.” Comprised of other outliers, rogue magi, spiritually augmented soldiers, and occult tacticians—it’s a team for missions buried deep beneath the surface. Black sites. Mage-terrorists. Dead apostles. World-ending rituals.Custom Gear:
Shirou’s uniform is lightweight leather, reinforced with magecraft-linked runes for impact resistance and mana flow. Black with a faint maroon shimmer beneath, his cloak’s underside seems to drink moonlight. Small pauldrons arch like fangs from his shoulders. His weapons: projected short blades tucked into his belt, a bow collapsed into an armguard, and an illusion-sealed dagger—Muramasa’s shape, never drawn unless absolutely necessary.The Burning BetrayalTheir final mission takes them to a forgotten village nestled in no-man’s-land. Intelligence reports suggest a ritual underway that could collapse a leyline nexus. The squad moves in under moonless cover. But it’s too quiet. Too clean. They find no cultists. Only civilians. Confused, terrified, and in hiding.The signal to pull out comes too late.
The sky cracks.
Explosions erupt from beneath the town.
Incendiary cursed fuel. Mage-saturated firebombs.
Command knew.Shirou watches comrades die trying to save the people they were never supposed to protect. His captain is gunned down by a friendly drone. The healer is vaporized by a collapsing bounded field. He carries one teammate, only to feel their heartbeat fade in his arms.At dawn, Shirou stands alone.
Smoke coils like a funeral shroud. Blood cakes his hands. Ash clings to torn armor. His eyes burn with something unfamiliar. Not sorrow. Not helplessness. Not even rage.
Disgust.
At himself. At the world. At the lie.Return to SakuraHe limps back to Fuyuki without speaking to a single soul. Doesn’t rest. Doesn’t clean himself. Just walks until home finds him.Sakura answers the door and nearly screams.
There’s a scar on his jaw, bisecting the memory of a smile. She drags him in, half-furious, half-weeping. He doesn’t fight her this time.That night, in the warmth of the shed, he breaks.
And remakes."My ideal was never wrong. But it was incomplete.”
“I can’t save everyone. But I can save one person. And if I can do that, then it still matters.”
“So I will be a Hero of Justice for you, Sakura. Even if I burn for it.”She doesn’t argue. Not anymore. She sees the haunted look in his eyes and chooses to believe in him again. Not the boy she once knew—but the man he’s become.The Living BladeNow, Shirou lives as something both revered and feared. Whispers of “The Freelancer”, the Bladebearer, the Rogue of Obsidian Flame echo in hidden corners of the world. Magi debate whether he's a Counter Guardian gone rogue, or something worse—a walking contradiction Alaya hasn’t claimed because he walks just far enough from her grasp.When evil rises, when lost souls reach out, sometimes he answers.But never again for the world.Only for her.
