Saber also won due to Gilgamesh not expecting her to have Avalon.
That gives you just the bad part of affinity summon without the good part of a Servant that fits the master though?
Yes, but Kiritsugu and the wise king are not going to get along at all either.
Why not?
He still has the main goal of killing Shirou.
That was only his goal in the UBW route, and only because he got pissed at how idiotic Shirou was being and then decided to throw a hissy fit. That was NOT his goal until a ways into the route.
We didn't do anything for Shirou's Distortion. He's just as idiotic, only with a bigger group of girls.
We did a little bit actually. His distortion is only at 6/7, not maxed out. Also, Shirou's vastly different skillset (competent magus, for starters) and history will help with making Archer not feel like they're the same person.
EMIYA's basic dislike is based on Shirou's ideals betraying him in the end. Skill doesn't do anything, his dream was impossible to begin with, and becoming a Counter Guardian will still be an eternity of murder. It's different, but not in the ways that matter.
Again, Distortion is slightly less than canon because we reduced it once. That's probably enough to make Archer think that this Shirou might be on a different path.
Not gambling on it.
If he doesn't interact much with Shirou, its impossible for that to become his goal. If Kiritsugu summons Archer, Shirou would be far more likely to be hanging around with Yuuno and Solomon than Kiritsugu and Archer, especially since Kerry and Archer would be doing underhanded tactics from the shadows the whole time.
There is literally a zero percent chance that this Shirou will become a Counter Guardian.
There's exactly two people whom Gilgamesh will take completely seriously, although one of them might not apply in this timeline. Iskandar and Enkidu.
No he's not. The only reason Shirou would ever make a contract with the World is if he's both fully distorted, doesn't have enough friends and family to hold him back, and isn't strong enough to be a hero.
If Shirou does not become a Counter Guardian he can't be summoned because he can't exist. So if he can be summoned he will want to kill Shirou unless the universe is broken and he's moving on to the kill everything stage of a counter guardian.
... What? No, that's totally incorrect. The Throne of Heroes and the Root exist outside of time and space; this has been stated repeatedly in this thread. Word of Nasu has it that even if EMIYA were to succeed in killing Shirou, it wouldn't accomplish anything, and he knows it; he just wants to hold onto hope. Word of Nasu also says that none of the three canon routes would lead to Shirou becoming EMIYA, so EMIYA can, in fact, be summoned into this timeline.
No. The Throne of Heroes exists outside the multiverse. Its even possible for multiple versions of the same Heroic Spirit to exist.
Could just as easily get a VA gag. Yuuno has the same VA as both Mami Tomoe and Vivio Takamachi.
Dang it, people! We just explained why Kiritsugu will have a better compatibility with EMIYA than Solomon! And Yuuno will definitely have a better compatibility with Solomon than Kiritsugu!
