I was reading through some of my older FSN posts as well as the spoilerific Wikipedia entry for Emiya Shirou, and I became intrigued about Shirou’s eventual mastery of his Tracing ability. So I thought I’d consult the readers:
I mean, he’s seen them both, amirite? I am the bone of my sword, baby.
Peons are such haters, and Shirou gets a flashback of how Saber’s people felt she was too cold and uncaring when she was alive. Back in the present, Ilya is introduced to Sakura and Taiga, and everyone gets along well when they aren’t battling for food. Ilya even shares a great deal of [...]
It turns out that while Berserker’s right hand is his God Hand, his left hand is his Pimp Hand! As Berserker pimp slaps Saber to the ground, and shows off his abs of steel, Shirou decides it’s time to start breaking the rules of alchemy. Shirou first uses a command mark to stop [...]
There is a convenient hovel where the trio can hang out, and Rin tells Shirou to prepare himself. There are no souls to eat, so the only way to regenerate Saber’s mana is to give her part of Shirou’s magical circuit. While this allows mana to flow freely between a magician and his [...]
Rin orders a stealth infiltration, just as Shirou frees himself from the poorly tied ropes. Unfortunately, it turns out that Ilya never left the castle at all; that was just her stunt double. Rin decides that they will try to run while Archer slows Berserker down, but Ilya mocks Rin for not having [...]
Saber is in bad shape, and nearly out of Mana. Perhaps this lessens her resistance and allows Shirou a glimpse of her past life as King Arthur. Archer explains that Saber used up most of her mana knowingly in order to protect Shirou. Rin then adds that Saber will soon disappear unless [...]
While Shinji wanders around like a murderous drunk, Shirou decides they should take out Rider and prevent anymore of these incidents. Before Shirou and Saber can blindly rush into battle, however, Rin points out that Rider’s Noble Phantasm is much higher level than Rider herself, and is of a magnitude high enough to take [...]
Saber and Rin take turns training Shirou, but while Shirou is unsuccessfully trying to reinforce lamps, Rin discovers his stash of metalled out junk. Normal magic follows the rules established in Full Metal Alchemist, but Shirou appears to be breaking those rules! Unfortunately, leaving Shirou unsupervised is like giving free reign of the [...]
Shirou takes the day off to practice with Saber, and thinks he can butter her up by complimenting her clothes (even though they’re actually Rin’s clothes…). However, he’s wrong, and Saber owns him hard. After two hours of trying to molest Saber, Shirou decides to take a break and get some food. [...]
Saber runs into Assasin, who reveals that he used to be Sasaki Kojirou. Saber is eager to reveal her own name, but Assasin realizes that she is clearly a bit slow in the head, and doesn’t want to ruin the challenge by learning her name. Instead, he readies his famed “Tsubame Gaeshi” (Turning [...]
Hells yeah, I finished the “Tasty Rin Tohsaka” piece I promised a month and a half ago to Mentar. It took a while to think of how I’d spin the requested theme, but the drawing itself came together pretty quickly. Oddly enough, I even sorta followed Zyl’s advice, but this time at least [...]
Like a reality show contestant, Shinji tries to get an alliance with Shirou. The Matou family has lost its magical mojo but still has the knowledge, whereas Shirou has the mojo but no clue. The byproduct of this is that there must be another Master at school, since Shinji cannot be sensed (as [...]
Shirou is quite the heartbreaker, as Rin stops over and prevents lovu lovu Sakura-Shirou time, Saber gets pissed about Shirou breaking his promise, and Sakura runs away in embarrassed anger after being two-timed. He does manage to smooth things over after promising to pump/milk Rin for information, serving Rin some hot crotch coffee, and [...]
