You do you man, I was just messing around because I hadn't seen her before. And really, all of that joke was meta as shit. Shirou IC had no part in that. I actually posted the Seven Steps part before I paged over to where the update was - I had seen some of the arguments right before the update and started giggling at the mental image of an SVer doing this.

If you mean when I bring Shirou in to say that viewed through a rather distrusting lens he could be viewed as taking advantage of these girls? Yeah... Shirou just isnt compatible with that IC. But what we know of what he will do and does, does not mean that if a random priest walked by every once in a while and caught snippets of the conversations going on? I mean, Medea so it wont happen, but just for the sake of it, that's when I meant to say a normal individual does not start assuming nice things.


And Shirou did aim for an assassin as well. Unironically he got perhaps the assassin best suited to him as well, or the one most in line with his mindset. She too is dedicating herself solely to Shirou as Shirou did to Miyu.

Don't Consider either of those posts entirely geared toward attacking a position - they were meant to share a bit of a good time and not be taken all that seriously. I'll throw my debate hat when a divisive vote comes in. I don't really mind seeing how everybody pilots this for the most part. I just enjoy the story and the fun moments.

Oh I wasn't mad or defensive at your post, I was just explaining why I personally wanted to summon Serenity.
 
[X] Tell Sakura the truth about yourself

Hopefully when we tell her this we also tell her that there might be a future heroic spirit version of us summoned in this war, so sakura can get all her multi Shirou fantasies out of her system, before buff mature future Shirou turns up.

Also can we give assassin some passive NPs to use on the worms?
 
[X] Stick with the original plan, this will keep Serenity's presence at a minimum but take up your afternoon. You will strike at evening by yourself with Serenity and Medea hidden as back-up
[X] Offer to let her stay in the temple until Zouken is definitely dealt with, but leave the decision up to her.
[X] Let Lancer be for now, if only to observe what Kirei is having him do
-[x] Meanwhile, have Medea set up surveillance across the city to better track what Kirei is having him do.

Want to nuke Kirei but Gil will want to have a chat and that isn't good.

Ugh, the first section of that update is such edgy, emo teenager bullshit.:sour:

Yes, justice sure is ruthless. Like those places where the death penalty doesn't exist, and the focus is on rehabilitating criminals of all types. And justice certainly is a single monolith that can only be defined one way, not like its an intensely subjective concept that's defined radically differently by members of the same family or ideology, let alone across the world, no sirree.:rolleyes:

... Well, I guess Kiritsugu always was meant to appeal to edgy teenagers and young adults, so I suppose it's not such a surprise this Shirou who's closer to the Mind of Steel ending adopted it. Though honestly, this Shirou seems ... a lot more 'Kiritsugu-lite' than the Prisma Ilya version I saw in the manga during that arc.

Miyuverse Shirou is one who wanted to be like Kerry, and believed that it was the right thing to do, but just couldn't manage to kill his own emotions enough to go through with it in regards to Miyu. So for stuff that he has no emotional attachment to, it makes sense that he can be just as ruthless as Kerry.

Cute is Justice.

There are a lot of definitions, but it depends on what is meaningful to you.

Cake is soft. Well, someone else might think otherwise. They might subscribe a different meaning onto cake.

Marie Antoinette supposedly said "Let them have cake!" Or something, but this was a misintepretation of her words when she meant a type of bread instead.

Same thing here, but for Shirou, Justice is ruthless and it's based closely to Karna's story.

[Karna stood near his grandfather's feet and his warm tears landed on those. Bheeshma slowly opened his eyes with much difficulty and noticed him. He embraced his grandson just like a father embraces his son, with tears flowing down his cheeks. Though they shared a bitter relation before and opposed one another, they never failed appreciating when needed.

"Karna, do you think that I hate you? No my child, I don't have any feeling of hatred towards you. I know you're a very mighty warrior. You're generosity is well known, you're equal to Arjuna in strength. But you are too vain about your strength,and try to do too much with it.you try to follow karma(justice) and dharma(morality) while being extremely generous and kind to others and not considring the fact thar karma(justice) is ruthless and generosity does not work at such cases. that's the reason I used to speak very harshly to you, to bring down your ego and pride and make you understand that you need to be ruthless but also be able to control your emotions. I've no anger left now". ]

Karna went on to roast EMIYA based on this.

[ When Archer asked him whether their battle is necessary, because the true enemy is BB, Karna coldly replied:

"That's none of your business. You have the bad habit of caring for the enemy. While you chose to side with justice, you still try to protect the weak. Can't you see the contradiction, O Weakling? If you can't bring yourself to be ruthless, then stop trying to side with justice!"]

Miyu Shirou even cared about the dolls he killed, considering Saber was Julian's father...

For people he doesn't care about, it'll turn out like the "Bye, Shinji " scene by Fate shirou.

We should leave Lancer be for now. He still has to force Shirou to summon Saber after all, and what better person to ally with than yourself.
 
Come to think of it, Miyuverse!Shirou is pretty much fanfiction-tier strong compared to Canon!Shirou, isn't he?
(Not as bad as Third Fang's version, but yeah.)

He was trained by Kerry as a magus, got on-the-job training, managed to become Archer without getting his arm blown off or getting another arm grafted to him... AND managed to win a Grail War by himself.

I mean, sure, all of the people he cares about are either really far away (Miyu) or super dead (everybody else), but yeah.

It's important to note that he managed to win in a single night.

Miyuverse!Shirou is really strong.

*shrugs*

Bazett can fight on par with the class card Servants and kick ass, so I figure either humanity has higher potential to make them more relevant, or Servants aren't as strong as the typical iteration of the Kaleidoscope.
 
Do take into account that he's a demiservant with unlimited power supply.

Which is to say he's functionally a Counter Guardian in Beast of Alaya mode.

More that the Class Card versions are weaker than actual Servants, but the weird thing he did using the card of EMIYA effectively turned him into a Demi-Servant (like Mashu), and Miyu is providing him with an infinite supply of magical energy via Grail hax.

He's literally... DOUBLE black grandpa EMIYA.
There's probably a way to fuse him with other versions of EMIYA, or heck even Mumei from Fate/Extra.


And in the end, he'll probably turn into a Singularity of all Emiya Shirous in all realities.

Well, from observation:
-The Class Card isn't THAT much weaker than the original. I'd count it as a general rank down for being a fake at most, though a Servant is also a fake.

-But the skill and tactics of the Class Card is grossly mismatched for the Heroic Spirit.
--We see the self operational Class Cards Ilya and Miyu fight as being pretty stupid in general, but they grew smarter as they gathered mana over time.
---Bazett could fight two of them on her own when they just spawned, while Medusa was kind of dumb and could only charge.
---However, Hundred Faced Hassan, or the Arthuria/Medea combo, given mere weeks more than Medea, were capable of basic, if stil simplistic tactics.
---Heracles was cunning, given not long more, despite being berserk.
--Furthermore, when Installed, compatibility is enormously important. The card grant some basic skills, but they don't stop your Assassin from standing there and bragging in front of the enemy like Shinji does or your Caster acting as close in air support.

-They were running on a very constrained mana supply, which gimped them pretty hard. Self aware cards had only the mana they manage to leach out of the leylines. Installs and Noble Phantasms as well are pretty energy intensive to use, but the Dolls are unlikely to have that much mana available.
--Again you can see Ko-Gil fighting very conservatively. He only really uses Enkidu and Gate of Babylon items for passive effects. He's saving power.
--But Kuro functions MUCH more like EMIYA because she can just refuel off Ilya's bottomless tanks, even if she's never comfortable enough to actually cast Unlimited Blade Works

But Miyuverse Shirou has basically none of the problems.
-Being the original person, he gets full Demiservant sync.
-He has perfect compatibility tactically. EMIYA fights exactly like him.
-Miyu is sending him as much power as he can use.

Having two of these would make him Servant tier, but Best Onii-chan power makes him nearly a Beast of Alaya
 
Do we still suffer from EMIYA slowly taking over us as Shirou continues to use EMIYA's magecraft? Or has that problem been solved by Medea?

He only suffers it if he uses the Archer card.

It's the degradation from using top tier skills that he needs to be wary of. If he trains and practices he wouldn't burn out as easily as before.

That's assuming he recovers first, which is solved by having Medea around.

He's better off compared to canon since Angelica!Gilgamesh didn't managed to Enuma Elish his Reality Marble before he got whisked away.

If UBW got Ea'ed, his magic circuits would have been heavily damaged as we're talking about his soul being destroyed.

Iskandar is lucky his reality marble isn't actually his soul, just something he can invoke.
