And there is no reason for him to think he will show up.
Who's stupid enough to send Assassin as a Saber?
*Looks at canon*
...Never mind.
Send Assassin to kill/threaten their master, and have Shirou play defensive with Medea's backup.
feel bad about yourself.
Ok.
Assassin's job is to, well, assassinate without being noticed. Even if she failed to poison the master, she would still be able to escape-especially with Medea's teleportation- while Shirou would defeat the other servant 1 on 1.They might just call 1 servant back with command seal. Then shirou fight will aslo be 1-1 while assassin be disadvantaged compare to saber
That was Shinji, not Assassin.feel bad about yourself.
And really, I just feel that Assassins won't mesh well with him. His experience with Assassin comes down to getting his one friend's chest blown open in front of him right after she confesses her love for him. Really good associations there let me tell ya.
Who? Sakura?The Saber memory? Probably the most positive impression he had of one of his opponents.
I was talking about the class card containers - those who wielded them aside those are his only experiences with servants aside from Medea at this point. Shinji was Assassin - that is where I was drawing that comparison from. And wasn't the Saber card holder somewhat honorable in the end despite being one of his toughest opponents?
So he's going to base his summoning on a person that's not really related to the actual servant?I was talking about the class card containers - those who wielded them aside those are his only experiences with servants aside from Medea at this point.

Well, most people try to contextualize their decisions - to relate them to prior experience. If the closest related experience you have to something is really really really poor, and Miyu!verse Shirou has a very very traumatic experience, it can bleed over into things only tangentially related. That is kinda where I am pulling from. Heck, plain old bias is a thing too. Even EMIYA doesn't behave as an assassin and he's all over that cold pragmatism shtick. I find it hard to think of a Shirou that would single out Assassin as his class container of choice. To summon at the least.So he's going to base his summoning on a person that's not really related to the actual servant?
...That's a thing I guess.
Besides, I don't think he'll be biased against Assassin, but rather against Shinji... who deserves it.
That's Mysterious heroine X's jobJesus Christ we need more bodies to stamp out the Saberface menace
Hm, I can see where you're coming from. I believe Shirou would be more pragmatic than to allow this to completely influence his decision, but that's more of an opinion than fact.Well, most people try to contextualize their decisions - to relate them to prior experience.

And this one understands that compatability with your servant is important. Taking Assassin is definitely committing this Shirou to a darker path.
Edit: and the fact that your handle is What A Day and I'm PurpleSunset and you are arguing for conventially darker character while I argue for the archetypal beacon of hope is incredibly amusing.
I literally could not have planned this out ahead of time. Sometimes, coincidence is so much better for not being seen coming.
Yay.Votes locked and tallied!
It looks like Serenity has won this round!
Thanks to this, the friendliest yet unpredictable pair will be joining the HGW.
On the other hand, there goes my idea for the Top Hat Dead Apostle Hunting pair to come in.
Cornelius Alba, who appeared in Fate/Zero moping up Norikata Emiya's mess.
IIRC it's an asshole fire mage from the Association who has a major role in one of the Kara no Kyoukai films. And is also the guy who burned down everything on the island Kiritsugu grew up on after Kerry's dad became a Dead Apostle.
Heroic Spirit from another timeline where a handful of Dead Apostle's and an Ancestor had big influence in America....
Abraham Lincoln, OG, Fictional Character or is this one a genuine Heroic Spirit?
Assassin (Fate/Prototype: Fragments)Aww guess the Lily vote didn't win. So anyone have any idea who Serenity is? Literally have no clue.
Is he based off the movie version ?Heroic Spirit from another timeline where a handful of Dead Apostle's and an Ancestor had big influence in America.
A certain Dead Apostle worked together and trained this Abraham Lincoln to kill his other vampiric kin.
Aww guess the Lily vote didn't win. So anyone have any idea who Serenity is? Literally have no clue.

I'm sorry if this sounds like complaining or if I'm being salty. I didn't like the revote but I understood why you did it, but why did you change the option from the generic Assassin Hassan to Serinity specificly? Shirou shouldnt have a catalist for her and I doubt he even knows who she is.
Again I'm sorry about bringing it up, but the entire second half of the vote just bugged me.
Medea Lily is REALLY good at nullifying poisons. She can easily make it so that touching Serenity is safe.Yikes looks like we're gonna end up dead accidentally somehow.
