The whole point of his character is to show that an idealistic approach is always destined to fail. This seems to fly over everyone's head. Same goes for Kiritsugu but he just have dat edge going for him so he's automatically a more complex character apparently.
Also Kiritsugu wants to save everyone as well, this is literally his one life long goal, he's even more obsessive about it than shirou, did you even pay attention?


-shirou never accepts that his ideal is a failure even though it's an Objective Fate
-not all ideals fail to be realized
-kiri does not want to save everyone, he wants to conquer the world's Cruelty and control it so no one cause others to suffer anymore kind of a villain, but again, he is a villain.
-i have never seen someone call a villain edgy before, i'm amused, so, are all villains edgy now?, well, what a fate.


Shirou admits his ideals are impossible several times, including his final clash with Archer. He just doesn't give a shit since he is the quintessential shonen MC only until he has tremendous character development in the Heaven's Feel route as part of his deconstruction. You have a very distorted idea of what a villain is, Kiritsugu is not a villain by any stretch of the imagination, if that were the case it would destroy the entire point of his character. Kira from Death Note is a villain in the true sense of the word, not Kiritsugu.

Shirou is a bland character. Kiritsugu is not. Nothing more to say than that. Even in FSN, Shirou is far from the best character. This isn't inherently bad, though.

Gilgamesh is better then they both. But people just enjoy to follow badass mc's, especially girls. Kiritsugu is something like Levi, always calm, OP and deep character in general.

there were more than one translation for the FSN visual novel, one by mirror moon and the second by beast lair which was done by a Community instead of a staff

and it's not a mis-translation, it's a literal translation, this was discussed years ago in beast lair in whether the literal translation were necessary or not, since everyone is a fan of fate in there and no one wants some no one's interpretation as the translation, they just left it literal

it was nasu who wrote them, don't know where you got that from, but he's a shit writer when it comes to those scenes, hence the famous memes of Tsukihime

thing is: edges are the same Fetish, they are for specific audiences, and not meant to be developed making whoever the character that inhabit them bland in nature, not good nor bad, they are just there like some curse and since shirou never developed his characters' flaws, he's a failure of character



Maybe I got my info wrong but whatever, most writers are shit at writing sex scenes, just read Game of Thrones and see for yourself.
Do you even know how linguistics work?You can't make a literal translation and expect it to make sense ever single time! You destroy the whole meaning of that phrase.
You haven't provided a single argument as to why Shirou is a 'failure' as a character, you just quoted some shitty literal translation made by passionate amateurs.


No one should call most writers bad at writing intimate scenes, as it's silly to think as such, it's just a case-by-case basis author wise and material wise, it just happen that nasu is not a Great screenwriter when it comes to this kind of stuff

it's not a linguistic issue, if it was then the issue would be about the language's structure and their differences, which is not the case, and to prove the point, say i translate this from french to English : tu as raison = You have reason, which is a literal translation, writing wise, it makes sense if you are a french that is but if you are english it wouldn't because of a cultural barrier, so it's a cultural issue, ,if i were to translate it in an interpretative way, then it would be You are right instead of You have reason, case in point, there are some literal and interpretative translations that work writing wise but not culture wise and vice versa in a case-by-case basis.

The people die when they are killed make sense writing wise and as a french, i don't see an issue with it, as you would say: les gen meurent quand eux sont tué, and i don't see an issue with in english, so don't be a nitpicky about it

The Consumers of the product happen to be already invested in the Japanese culture therefore, the cultural barrier shoudn't be an issue, and it would only be for noob/newbies.

i wrote why shirou is 101 just some posts above, you should really read and know what others are about before responding.

as someone who read the original light novels for fate zero and played Fate stay night visual

Character's motives

Shirou and kiri are simply not comparable in the slightest

Kiri believes that saving the majority justify not doing the same for the minorty

shirou believes that his Life was saved for the exchange of others

there might be a similarity in their beliefs but that's where it disappears, you see, shirou believes that for one to save another, they would have to sacrifice themselves, as without doing so, one cannot save the other

while kiri, would never sacrifice himself for such a circumstance, instead, he believes that he should survive the cruelty so that he can conquer the world's evil in a sense saving everyone in the process,and he's willing to realize this ideal by any means

spot the difference? point is, they are not even closely similar while being in the same medium, Shirou would never sacrifice someone for the sake of others' salvation, Kiri?, meh, he wouldn't even need to think about it, it's a see and do for kiri


now, for their Personnality

Shirou: well, he's not the most likable character in this regard,he has a misogynistic side that is so extreme that he would ask a servant to stop being a warrior because their gender/sex happen to be a female, even though the female servant can one shot him by the thought of it, the other negative side of him is his virgin shield, where he starts having pervert thoughts whenever he's near a fine female, be it a servant or humans, except taiga because may the Highter being witness, she might not be a female for all we know

bonus: shirou says he adapted those behaviors from kiri, which is odd since he never showed such behaviors

Kiritsugu: well, Kiri .....is an idealistic person who is closed to everything that is not a part of his ideal, at least till fate stay night.

not the best writing but simple and project-able unlike someone, ahem shirou ahem

and the last thing is their character development

it's not a new thing that kiri developed to update his view of his ideal to realize how broken it is, which is a success, writing wise, while shirou never accepted that development and rather chose an alternative with the same ideal, kind of like trying to cheat fate in a sense, which is a failure character wise and coincidentally the point of UBW events


and fate is not the center of the nasuverse, that would be Notes, the origin of the nasuverse, fate is simply the most popular.

bonus: servant kiri is basically what Kiri would be if zero events wouldn't have happened.



If You think the translation is shit just because it's literal and made by some amateurs, then i have some bad news for ya, Fate EX translation was made by an official staff and mis-translated interpretive-ly so, what's the characters actual dialogue and what is translated are not even close majorly so, guess the literal translation made by some passionate amateurs was better than some interpretive translation made by an official staff.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
and there is no such thing as a failure character without mentioning what it is being a failure about, you shouldn't have responded to my comment without asking this important question, Shirou is not a failure character if he is being shirou but when you compare shirou at being kiri in terms of flaws that's where he becomes a failure character,

note: also ''according to popularity is a fallacy'', and the edges = fetish were about your comment about them being a personal trait where i state that they are simply not something that can be consumed by a universal audience, and Yes, i understand he was written to be broken like that, but not fixing it is also my points in the discussion

May the highter being witness for i have wrote more than i thought. from an ancient fate fan.

See, this is kind of a frustrating question for me.

Personally, I find Kiritsugu a more interesting character than Shirou, just because he actually follows through on his utilitarianism. I always like characters who do wrong but necessary things, and don't refuse to face up to the moral reality. I also like characters who find cheaty ways around problems to make up for their lack of power (see also: Assassination Classroom).

In comparison, Shirou's ideals are complicated and inconsistent, and not helped by the fact that they change from route to route. Basically - Nasu isn't nearly as good at writing philosophy as Urobuchi is. So we get pages and pages of navel-gazing with Kirei, where even just a basic bit of ethics teaching would reveal it all as fluff, and Shirou just accepts it all as fact. So really, Kiritsugu is in fact the more interesting character.

The problem is that people seem to be disliking Shirou for the wrong reasons, and that bothers me. It's understandable if they haven't read the VN, because Shirou really doesn't make the jump to anime well, but it really is a shame. Cutting out the narration means you miss out on his inner thoughts, which take him from a bland MC into a snarky, complex badass.

People complaining about the 'people die when they are killed' bit especially annoys me, because that's not the whole quote. It's followed immediately after by, "that's the way it should be", because Shirou's recovered from a fatal wound and he's commenting on how that crap ain't right.

TL;DR - Kiritsugu is more interesting to me, but the amount of Shirou-bashing in this thread makes me want to defend him anyway, because people aren't working with a full picture of the character.

i don't want to talk about other shows since that would be off-topic, but you can't not be a villain and do villainous acts, it's an Oxymoron. in other words: the means doesn't justify the ends

he doesn't give up in his ideals in HF, you clearly haven't played the VN if you think that, his character was is still the same, personality wise, only His stat is what was changed, hence why it's HF shirou is the most developed, in a sense

shirou is not a badass in the VN, he's still bland. and his character is not air-friendly hence why they cut his inner thoughts, and you don't have to adapt the inner thoughts as a one to one ratio, you can adapt them like having him react to sakura noticing that he's checking her body out which is the same him thinking of her body in a pervert way and shirou ideals are un-necessary complex, the idea of one having to sacrifice oneself for the sake of other is broken. unlike kiri's ideal which is realistic and project-able

sure, there are a lot of bashing in shirou, but this is because this is FSN, he got his right development afterward and hence why everyone loves fate kaleid and fate hallow ataraxia

look at mal's top favorite characters and notice that a lot of them mostly fit the ideal chuuni fantasy in some way, kiritsugu aligns with it more than shirou

sure you can make arguments for why you as an individual think kiritsugu is better or deeper or more mature (he isn't) but to the majority it's the more superficial qualities that appeal more, it's because he fits the shallow idea of a "realistic" hero by being dark and gritty even though his characterization does run deeper than that


never thought of kiri as a DARK hero, sure, he does some heroic stuff sometimes, but not out of choices and all come as incidental, he's more of a villain, and popularity does not mean quality, if it was the reverse, kirito sama would be the Best MC Archetype of all time

and of course, kiri is not better, deeper, mature, than shirou

a sexually oversensitive teen with an over the top misangony side whose ideal is to save EVERY-one, be it forcefully or willingly, in all-times vs an asexual adult with an equalizer kill for both genders whose ideal is just to stop people from suffering from the world's cruelty

i guess Arguments and facts mean nothing because obviously Your WORD is objective, who am i to defy such a thing?

don't be too harsh, he might be possibly the worst male character ever written but he's . . . .just a ....a victim, in a sense, so, why not praise a victim for being such a thing?

I mean, considering Shirou Emiya is my #1 hated character in anime... It would be hard to be worse than him. Then there is also the fact that Kiritsugu is mainly known for F/Z and Urobutcher is a much better writer than Nasu is. It is the only part of the franchise that I actually like.

And for those who think 'everyone who hates on Shirou has not read the VN', the answer is no. My first exposure to F/SN was through the VN and it was absolutely horrible. There is nothing more annoying than Shirou and his attitude towards Saber on Fate route and in UBW he pulled some massive garbage deus ex machina powers from his butt.

I actually hate anime Shirou much less than his VN counterpart because I don't need to listen to his ridiculous inner monologues all the time. And yes, this does include Shirou from DEEN adaptation.

Now, I have my own reasons to like shirou that you wouldn't understand, because you probably think differently than me.

Not sure what you mean by all-bad all-good, fam.

I'm certain Shinji's all-bad if that's the case.

in HF, he's quite OP but that doesn't mean make him a cool character nor does it change his flaws as a character, it Only means the plot was character convenient than even UBW.


What's people problem i mean if the character is op they have a problem with it and if they are a loser then they also talk shit about him.

Well, lad, OP is just Power going over mode, it doesn't matter whether someone has the Power or not, what matters is WHO HAS IT, don't be bothered about it.

Shirou is not a loser by any means, heck, if he was a real life character, he would be be one of the luckiest and most successful teen males for all the things he has, top archer at school, close friend to a lot of top tier girls in his school, close friend to the student council president and a close friend of the honor student, and a relative of the school most beloved teacher,lives alone in a grand mansion, and cute girls come visit him regularly and he's a cook, if that is not husbando material, i don't know what is

the issue is not Shirou's stat, it's his character traits, he's a sexist even if it's arguable whether his sexism is Good or bad?

and idealist, face it, he has a broken ideal

Long story short: Shirou character traits are incompatible with FSN events

Also I fucking laugh every time someone says that they identify with Kiritsugu????
I guess they killed their own father, mentor and mostly everyone in their life lmao.


The ironic thing is that everything that Shirou is as adult, is thanks to Kiritsugu, he built Shirou like that. Kiritsugu never wanted Shirou to be a Magus and he wanted him to have a normal life, he barely teach him magic just because he thought it might be useful.
People say Shirou has "PLOT ARMOR" but ironically that "PLOT ARMOR XDXD" Is given to him by Kiritsugu putting Avalon inside Shirou body.


And people saying Shirou is bland didn't paid enough attention to UBW at least ( because of course there's no edgines xDXDXD ), because Shirou is one of the saddest characters in fate. He doesn't believe he deserves to be happy because that's a privilege he lost, or even to live considering he couldn't save anyone in the fire, and worse, being the only survivor.
Or how he suffers seeing Illya being killed by Gil and cries when Rin and himself have to bury her.

I don't believe Kiritsugu and Shirou are different at all, they just have different ways and actually the same goal, to save people.

About Emiya Assassin, it's an interesting part of Kiritsugu, and sadder than the real one, since he never met Iri and he kept in his rampage of killer and the counter force just made him a guardian to keep doing what he was best at, killing.

Because Fate/Zero is the only great anime of the Fate franchise, and anime is more popular than VNs.

MUH MISOGYNY HURR DURR. Are you a feminist by chance? What is this, Tumblr?


If you have time to response to someone else comment, why not yours?

i will just step up my game then: SHIROU is a SEXIST

and why does it matter whether someone is or is not exactly as it is off-topic?, or could it be that i simply triggered you somehow?


How the fuck is Shirou sexist? Because he wants to save everyone, including Saber, who is (on the outside) just a beautiful young girl who is fighting against disturbingly monstrous servants?
Ffs, man, Shirou doesn't even force women in the kitchen or anything, in fact, if he had it his way, he would have been the only one cooking, but Sakura insisted on cooking for him.

What shit have u even watched the whole thing?


well, Fate kaleid shirou and FSN shirou are not the same shirou, so......and the topic is about FSN shirou.

in HF, he's quite OP but that doesn't mean make him a cool character nor does it change his flaws as a character, it Only means the plot was character convenient than even UBW.

Urgh, it gets even worse than UBW in HF? I dropped reading the VN at the beginning of HF because I hated the previous two routes and could not take more of the same garbage. Plus, having some extended wet dream at the beginning was not exactly the most tasteful start there is.

But yeah, if his power inflation gets even worse in HF, I'm glad I made the choice...

Shirou's sexism is the most blatant in Fate route of the VN. There he constantly keeps telling Saber that she should not fight because of her gender. Saying that you should not do something simply because of gender is the textbook definition of sexism.

In Shirou's case it's not only sexist but also idiotic, since Saber is much stronger than he is, so it just makes it doubly infuriating.

Isn't Shirou Emiya just the main character of Fate/Stay Night? I am not sure if the whole Fate/ franchise has a main character since it has many different series such as Fate/Grand Order, Fate/Apocrypha, Fate/Extella and each have their own characters.

shirou is the MC for fate hallow ataraxia, and fate stay Night.

as for FGO, they have their own Femc and MC.

different MC for Fate apo and Fate/EX has its own Femc and MC

the discussion is about fate zero MC vs fate stay night MC in terms of character development

Most normal people find Shirou's ideas too out of touch with reality; it's as simple as that. Archer: (the popular Shirou), is also more relatable.

(Better than Shinji though).

Because Shirou's idealism and whiteknighting(telling saber not to fight is like wtf, one quick look at the siuation tells you she's more suited for that kind of work than he'll ever be), gets really annoying while Kiritsugu is more of a cool martyr. Also, UBW shirou is so over the top that it hurts seeing him beat Gilgamesh out of his ass.

if you thought UBW made a joke out of gilgamesh, wait for HF where his character is basically a joke

and while his whiteknighting is obnoxious, it's motive is even worse, sexism to a freaking servant, hilarious!
