Why did Shirou throw away his ideals so easily in HF? It completely pisses on UBW's ending
>>
>>282691729
He grew a brain

>easily
>agonizing
>ilya and his future version had to intervene and tell him it's ok
>>
>>282691729
Because being normal is obviously better than being weird
Yes it pisses on the previous two routes, that's the point. it wouldn't be impactful if you played HF first and he made the natural rational choice right away. You need to see him be a weirdo in UBW so that the choice is impactful.
>>
>>282691816
"Because being normal is obviously better than being weird"

The thing is, most readers who like to self inserts prefer the 'OP' version of Shirou (even it's canon that he's not even that powerful magus to begin with). You said he's a weirdo (he is) but other would say 'hes beautifully damaged" or some shit

3rd route was basically about growing up
>>
>>282691729
Perhaps Nasu is to blame for the poor conveyance, but Shirou didn't really throw away his ideals in this scene. He wasn't even agonizing over sacrificing people for Sakura, he was agonizing over the mere POSSIBILITY of someone dying if he doesn't kill her instead. It wasn't until the scene with the knife that he actually had to change, and even then he just compromises rather than outright throwing them away.
>>
Fate isn't written well
Don't read too much into it

>>282691816
>>282691871
>other would say 'hes beautifully damaged" or some shit
I actually think Shirou is completely normal and correct in his judgment for 99% of circumstances if you analyze them logically, and this holds across the entirety of all three routes. Nasu is the weird one for presenting him as weird.
>>
>>282691729
I mean,to some extend he's still upholding them via focusing his superhero autism on just Sakura herself
>>
>>282691876
He's not. It's pretty obvious that he didn't throw them away.

Even in UBW Shirou that he was happy because he was "saving someone" (not plural) which exactly what he did in HF.

There's also the parallel with kiritsugu who was "saved" when he rescued Shirou from the fire. Again one person, and not a mass of people he knew nothing about.

Shirou just adaptsed his crazy ideals to reality which is why he's happy at the end HF

Being a perfect beacon of morality and judgment is actually extremely weird.
>>
>>282691904
Shirou has almost not self-worth and only can throw himself into danger to feel happy in the first two routes. He's driven by survivor guilt but finally thinks that his own needs are as worthy in hf

He's not healthy
>>
>>282691729
I always thought this route was when he was the most human, humans are naturally selfish, self serving and want their own things over the world's desires no matter how much they try to dress it up, it's the only way we know how to live, even so called paragons of morality like Saber and Jeanne ultimately did what they did for personal reasons rather than for the sake of their god, their kingdom and their people.

I think the worst thing about the Nasu fanbase is that they think Selfishness always mean bad actions and behaviors and thus anything showing it means the perosn doing it deserves whatever fate befalls them, Urobutchi kinda acts like this too and Eva fans seem to follow the same thought process.

it's the same as people misunderstanding satire and mockery as the one doing actively despising the thing they're parodying and satiring like say Nisoin with his gatari franchice and Medaka Box, Boy I cannot begin to tell you how many annoying Niso fans thought he was taking the piss out of Jump by having Medaka, Kuma and Aimyu and Zenchiki's characters being all about going on tirades against Jump's principles meant that the author hates Jump, hates manga from Jump, hates authors from Jump and hates the entire medium as shallow childish coloring book shit

when did critical thinking die? all we lived in for the past 20 to 30 years is people caught up in their feels
>>
>>282691981
It should be, but Nasu outright says that he does and writes a bunch of dramatic scenes and monologues about it despite obviously contradicting what's unfolding before our eyes, the consequences of which you can see in dumbies like OP and several other posters ITT. If Nasu had Shirou say that he's not betraying his ideals at all and his new direction is actually the true way to realize them, then Nasu wouldn't be to blame, but that didn't happen.

>>282692125
Yet others also value him at their own expense, and he's objectively correct in his assessment of them. On the contrary, if you were to discover the a HGW, you would also have an ethical responsibility to end it, Shirou's desires don't really matter there. Likewise, you would be correct to risk your life to protect your lifeline, because that getting cut is no different from dying outright.
>only can throw himself into danger to feel happy
Fanon, he's perfectly happy in the kitchen.

>>
>>282692219
Did Nasu say it on an interview ? Or is it because of the game ?

Because FSN is the kind of 'show don't tell' story. But even tho, Shirou said he would happy to save one person, in the route right before HF, which he did.

I think the only thing 'Nasu should have been more obvious about is how harmful the ideals were to Shirou.

Most readers see him as the shonen OP protagonist which is why they can't comprehend the idea of Shirou not following this route. Yet the vn made it clear that Shirou is unwell and needs to be more selfish.
Even in Fate idk if it's the anime or the vn, there's a scene when someone comments that Shirou being that much of a people pleaser/helper at his own expense isn't good.

Yess omg. There's a reason the UBW icon of Shirou is everywhere.

I recently finished the game, i'm relatively new to VNs and read it with a 'fresh' mind.

If i compare it to the others VNs i've read then HF was obviously the true route/end whatever. It followed the same mechanic (last route to unlock), gave Shirou/readers the most informations about the grail, his father, his bff, Sakura, actually make him confront his ideal and how much they can hold in reality etc etc

There was no doubt HF was the endgame then i went online and holy shit...

People got so mad when you said that, either because they prefer an other heroine (sabeh!!) or because they prefer the 'op' version of Shirou who never confronts his own shortcomings.

I blame nasu for this, he's coward that didn't stick to what he wrote after the backlash Sakura's route received
>>
>>282692323
Shirou is constantly in agonizing pain and on the verge of death. It's pretty clear how self-destructive he is. There's a bunch of idiots that willingly miss the point and pretend that it's ok because they, just like Shirou, have the mentality of a teenager and refuse to grow up.
>>
>>282692419
Chill out dude. There's no need to confirm or follow through anything else because the original FSN VN is self-sufficient.
HF is just the natural conclusion where Shirou finally becomes a human being and finds his true partner Sakura and that sticks, that's for ever.
Now that you know that, feel free to see the other parallel worlds/series/games or not, that's up to you.

Shirou is never normal.

Shirou swaps from self-destructive pursuit of an ideal in Fate (that results in an Avalon miracle), to not quite self-destructive pursuit of the ideal in UBW (or accepting of the risk of self-destruction because trying to achieve the unattainable isn't wrong), to self-destructive oneitis for something attainable in HF. He does not fundamentally change in any route, Nasu is very clear on this point.

In fact, in HF's ending he is arguably the most at risk, because he has gone all in 2000x on Sakura oneitis. He'd let worlds burn to keep her alive, would break down if she got so much as a hangnail, lives in a gilded cage as an inferior homunculus copy of himself, and she is horribly broken herself (she is canonically more a magus and better at the mage mindset than Rin could ever be). She doesn't fix him, and he doesn't fix her.

Butthurt Sakurafag detected. Heaven's Feel completely wrecked Shirou's character. He's supposed to be irrevocably broken by the fire, a person who's unable to live for himself and can only live for the happiness of others. The ultimate moralfag, essentially. There's nothing wrong with Nasu flipping Shirou's character on its head in principle, but it was just so poorly done. Sakura "romance" of coming over every morning to cook and stutter out 'Senpai' just wasn't a satisfactory build-up for Shirou throwing away himself just for her sake. It's made even worse by the fact that Heaven's Feel comes right after Unlimited Blade Works, where Shirou stubbornly clung to his ideals even when faced with knowledge from a future self that they'd destroy him and make him miserable for eternity. That wasn't enough to sway him, but a cute girl visiting him every morning apparently is.

Basically what I'm getting at is that Sakura's romance was not well written. I don't think any of the romances in F/SN are well done, but Saber's and Rin's aren't central to the plot of their routes like Sakura's is to Heaven's Feel.
>>
>>282691729
Fundamentally, HF's issues ultimately boil down to two things: Shirou was originally meant to die and the ending where he lives was slapped on without his preceding arc being rewritten; and the route is the result of the merging of the Illya and Sakura routes. The whole point of the route up until the ending is that Shirou is such a broken human being, more machine than man, that upon breaking his ideal he is cursed to die. His mind breaks because for him to give up from the ideal once is to give up from it forever. Nonetheless, Shirou chooses to redefine what it means to be a hero by becoming an anti-hero much like Kiritsugu and Archer, but unlike them to do so for one specific person, namely Sakura. Just as they were cursed to pay for others' sins, so to is he fated to become a scapegoat and pay for the deaths Sakura is partially complicit in in her stead. That is the beauty of HF. However, by having Illya save him, you relegate on this arc. And the trouble is if Illya doesn't save him you have no real conclusion to her story. This contradiction is difficult to reconcile. Either way, by having Illya save Shirou, you render him useless in his own story, for he contributes the least to the eventual victory. His contribution boils down to projecting the Jewel Sword and Rule Breaker. It was Dark Sakura who killed Kirei. It was Rin who truly saved Sakura. It was Illya who ultimately stopped Angra Mainyu. Comparatively, Shirou ends up sidelined in his own story.

>>282691904
He never becomes fully normal in any route. In Fate, he’s satisfied with his time with Saber, nothing else to say and no words lost. Him seeking Avalon isn't because he lacked anything from his time with her. He is fulfilled in life and pursues her even after a life without regrets. Even in the event he doesn't reach Avalon, he's still completely satisfied with his time with her and can live his life doing whatever he wishes without wishing he did anything with Saber differently.

UBW has Shirou still go for the ideals even knowing blindly following them will lead to problems. His confrontation with Archer alone leads him to never become like Archer and he fins fulfillment there. Even Archer never says that the ideals are wrong. They aren’t. Seeking a future where you can save everyone is not a wrong choice. Yes you will almost certainly fail, but the key point is simple: it is not wrong to try. Archer never mocks the ideal, only Shirou’s broken devotion to it. It is that broken damaged psyche that causes the most danger in seeking the ideal, not the ideal itself. This is what Shirou recognizes he needs to fix, his martyr complex which leads to trying to protect Saber in Fate even when by all accounts he should be protected.

In HF Shirou is still incapable of finding any happiness or fulfillment on his own. He just chooses his immediate people instead of a wider group. All that's changed is scope, not what he seeks or what he will try to do. He's helping out with improving Fuyuki with Issei and the others but he's still continuously seeking to help others because he isn't even functional alone. HF Shirou knows he's like Kotomine except Kotomine only finds joy from other people's suffering. HF Shirou is fundamentally still this broken person who'll never find any happiness on his own and that part of him will probably never change. In all routes, he lacks any ability to be fulfilled alone and must find happiness in the happiness of others.

>In all routes, he lacks any ability to be fulfilled alone and must find happiness in the happiness of others.

Yeah humans can't feel fulfilled on their own, we are social creatures.
However there is a big difference between finding happiness by almost killing yourself for people you don't know to an absurd degree and helping someone close to you.
It's actually healthy to derive happiness from helping your loved ones.

Look, neither HF is this masterpiece of a story you all insist others it is, neither is that deep when compared to UBW or even Fate.
Plus, Fate as a franchise is literally Marvel now. So any "narrative value" HF may have once had, has been completely replaced with the gachafag audience. And they rather prefer the shonen routes.

>>
>>282697131
Also it's in the Vn.

Shirou's wish is to save someone and that's exactly what he did in HF.

Fate/UBW Shirou would have been horrified by Sakura's situation and those two routes would have not happened because Sakura would have taken priority (just like Shirou gave up Saber/the war in UBW to save Taiga).
This is a reason the story feels incomplete in Fate/ubw, because Shirou doesn't know the whole story (grail, Sakura, co).

That's kinda the part the loses me.

As far as I know, the Archer we see in Fate/Stay Night had his own holy grail war, did not hook up with any of the heroines, went on to live his life, made a pact with the will of humanity or some shit and became a counter guardian, which qualifies him as a hero.

Now, if all versions of Shirou have the potential to "relapse" as you say and become Archer, what the fuck happens to Archer? Does he gain new memories "he" never went through? Does his personality change? Or does it just create a duplicate EMIYA that is somewhat different?

For example, a big part of Archer's personality is his inability to save Ilya. He managed to prevent her from dying during the holy grail war, but she wasted away in a few years after that, which affected him greatly. For example, even as Archer he never actually harm Ilya, even though he is abandoning everything and trying to kill himself.

This sizeable part of Archer's personality cannot exist in UBW Shirou or HF Shirou, who did not save their Ilya and did not form a huge connection with her (Maybe HF!Shirou did, I forget).

So how does it all work? Multiple EMIYAs? Only one EMIYA but with the memories of multiple lives?
>>
>>282699521
Makes me wish we had some scenes between Archer and Sakura in FSn, or at least HF.
I guess Archer giving his arm to Shirou, despite the fact that Shirou was already compromosing on his ideals, is kinda nice. Dying to help someone instead of just trying to kill himself like he did in UBW
>>
>>282699806
I wonder if the Archer Miyu summoned remembers HF. It's not a normal HGW so memories shouldn't be affected.
>>
>>282691816
Throwing away everything to save Sakura isn't rational, though. Trying to save her is, but HF makes the cost so cartoonishly, astronomically high Shirou ends up looking more insane than he ever did in UBW.
>>
>>282699707
Think of it like how Servents summoned as different classes have wildly different forms and personalities despite all being the same guy.

Archer exists outside of time and space. Different instances of Archer, however, would not need be the same. Counter Guardian EMIYA and Archer are not the same person.

That's assuming his threat evaluation is always correct, which it pretty clearly isn't, but yes, sometimes you need to take risks for the greater good, even if amoral materialists can't comprehend that. It's not really Shirou's fault he was thrown in the deep end with a bunch of sharks.

Sakura penetrating Shirou is hard canon.
>>
Shirou grew in the game and in the last route finally faced reality, his shortcomings, stopped being a coward and tried to help Sakura instead of looking the other away. Meanwhile some readers are still stuck in route 1 and 2.

It's a bit hard to take Shirou's 'im the bone of my sword" monologues seriously and other moments that supposed to make him look badass while he didn't help his friend who was like almost living at his place. And deep down he knew something was happening just didn't to face it bc ir would break his ideals.

Sakura is a bitch who pretends to be, like, 10 years old mentally while mooching off Shirou (daddy, I can't sleep without holding your hand!). Despite having tits the size of her head and actual mentality of a magus who got realities of the magus world rammed up her snatch long ago. Her behavior is so shifty and shitty that the story needs absolutely ridiculous amount of misery porn to excuse her. But Shirou is somehow a bad guy for not noticing shit he literally had not a faintest clue about until a bunch of magical supermen appeared and started tearing up the town, and he got his hands full just trying to survive.

I think this is really a key argument. Archer will shit on Shirou relentlessly, but never on the ideal. He can't bring himself to, because he knows that it would be hollow. The hardest person to lie to is yourself.

>A: I’ll just say now that he doesn’t become a Heroic Spirit in any of the routes, but the possibility is still present in all of them as well.
It is a very low possibility, but in ANY route we see in the VN, Shirou may still end up on the Heroic Spirit Emiya road. We do not see it happen in them, but each one has the potential to create Heroic Spirit Emiya (from start to finish).

The route Archer did come from is explicitly an alternate Fate route "good end" that didn't make it into the VN at all:
>Q: What was the Fifth Grail War that Heroic Spirit Emiya experienced in his lifetime like? Was the Archer summoned there also Emiya? <grog>
>Nasu Kinoko: It was a world where the conditions at the beginning of the war were mostly the same, but something was missing. Shirou summoned Saber and fought until the end, didn't save Saber's heart but understood her, and they destroyed the grail together and parted... that's the image I have.
>Takeuchi Takashi: Ahh, so something like a Fate route Good End we didn't make in the game?!
>Nasu: Yeah, probably. After that, it is believed he cooperates with Rin who survived, and heads to London.
Where he does connect with Rin, but didn't have the connection with her he did in the VN UBW routes.

Never, not once in his life, not even for a second Shirou lived for "an abstract idea of people". On the contrary, he constantly helped any actual person he could.

As for his actual character flaw, not being able to say "No" to people who are abusing his helpful nature, well, if you let that flaw define him and suck him into relationship with someone who only takes and never gives, you get HF.

People grew up. There's an interview where Nasu and Takeuchi explained that it took years for him to write FNS, and he grew/changed doing it while the readers only read it in 60hrs. So the change might have been too abrupt for some even if was foreshadowed right from the first route...

I also think people aren't as misogyne as they used to and some otakus realize that a non virgin 2D girlfriend wasn't that dramatic...

>>282711137
The thing, the 'no-win' situation is in every route. His father tells him right come the start that saving someone meant not saving someone else.
He only grasped the full meaning of those words in HF, which is why his promise in UBW is hollow and why I can't see him being happy in the long turn in the 2 other routes.
Just like Archer, he's going to realize that his ideals weren't realistic at all and he'll end up being bitter.

In last episode he even talked about himself as a machine, that doesnt scream happiness

I really love how Shirou looks with Archer's arm. It's like the bitter version of himself merged with his present self which made him stronger.

God bless Nasu for choosing Sakura&Shirou as the canonical soulmates of FSN.
>>
>>282716628
What Nasu was implying is that Jamal’s psychic aura (and threat of rape) blocks Shirou from even the thought of hurting Sakura, despite the many reasons he has to kill her (infidelity, race mixing, obesity, etc)
>>
>>282716628
He is prepared to kill her in Mind of Steel and only doesn't do it because Rin is even more determined to do it. Coincidentally, that is also the only ending where he kills Rin. Of course, it does says a lot that Sakuratrannies are so desperate to engage in dishonest, bad faith argumentation for petty brownie points.

Killing Sakura completely mentally breaks Rin and there is no suggestion in the scene that Shirou lets her do it to save his own sanity. The entire point of MoS is that he does go insane and that letting Rin kill her is basically like pretty much his killing Sakura himself. The only reason Rin is the one who kills Sakura in MoS is because that ending is contrived as shit and there needs to be a reason for Rin to lose her mind like Shirou does as well.

Of course, you already know this. Just like you know that Sakura has dogshit characterization and is vastly inferior to any other character from the main cast, which is why you have to cope like this.

I don't remember seeing any saberfag who wanted an improvement to the route. The only problem in the route is the first half because it has to be an introduction to the VN as a whole. It's perfect other than that.

The biggest problem with the fate route is that Jamal isn’t in it. Nasu could have easily wrote Jamal into a minor role like killing Gilgamesh or have a scene where he makes love with Sakura but he wasted that opportunity
>>
>>282716962
>The only reason Rin is the one who kills Sakura in MoS is because that ending is

It's because Shirou can't do it himself, that one of the main plot of HF. He said he would do it and didn't move, even Rin realized she had to do it.
But he could kill Rin and Saber.

Just like he gave up Saber in UBW and gave up helping Rin when Taiga was in danger. He even thought about killing Rin to protect Taiga, in her own route.
>>
>>282717084
If Jamal was in the Fate route, even for a single frame, that shit route would instantly go from a 2/10 to a 10/10. Jamal is much like King Midas from the hellenic period, not only in his regal aura (he is a King of his own after all) but also in his ability to make anything he touches far more valuable

Shirou offers Rin to kill Sakura. There is no hesitation whatsoever on his part. If Rin demurred, he would've killed her sister.

>He even thought about killing Rin to protect Taiga, in her own route.
You mean how Shirou continues to like Rin even in Sakura's own route and chooses to meet up with the former at the school at the latter's expense on Day 7; and how he continues lusting after her even after he is in a relationship with Sakura. I understand why she would force him to watch her getting fucked by Jamal, she needed Shirou to feel humiliated like she did.
>>
>>282717231
Every ending is equally canon and each route resolves Shirou's issues in their own way. Please deal with it.

>>
>>282717261
>> The vn called Sakura a relative of Rin right before she goes to kill her.

Shirou, who can be impulsive doesn't move a finger and said instead "if I can i will".
He can, there's no practical reason for it not to do it but still doesn't do it and let Rin carry this burden.

>>Having killed Matou Sakura, Rin will go mad unless she obtains the Holy Grail.

And Shirou let that happen. If the crazy priest realized that killing her own sister would broke Rin, so did - Shirou who has ptsd from losing his own family, still did nothing.
>>
>>282717280
>>The first route shows his fanatical way of thinking, the second route shows a solution, and the final route shows another answer for him as a human.

Notice how Nasu doesn't say that Fate offered a solution/answer for Shirou ? It's fine if the readers think this is the ending more fitting for him, doesn't mean the story ends here.
>>
>>282717476
isn't the sequel based on Fate route?
>>
>>282717427
Shirou is not impulsive. He is reckless only when it comes to protecting and saving other people because he feels he does not deserve to live when so many others died. He wants his death to be a meaningful one which would recompense the dead of the Fire for his debt. He doesn't care about dying when saving others because that would make his death one that gives meaning to his having survived the Fire. He is not an impulsive personality as such. There's no reason for him to make an impulsive decision to kill Rin.

The "crazy priest" in MoS is Nasu's mouthpiece. He predicts that Shirou would win on no real basis whatsoever and even that the final confrontation would be between Rin and Shirou. He only knows that for storytelling purposes. He knows Rin would go mad because Nasu needs him to for his contrived narrative. Shirou doesn't know Rin as well as he does in UBW so your saying he should perfectly predict her reaction is just your projecting your own desired reading into the text. Nice backtracking from your claims in >>282717113. You got caught lying and don't even have the basic honesty to admit your wrong.

The clause "think of them as different answers" follows upon and clarifies "every ending is equal". The clear intended meaning is that each route is a different but equally valid answer.

Stop coping, mentally ill loser.
>>
>>282717703
I always liked the theory that Shinji was La'Darius' best friend and a member of Jamal's posse, which is why the Nigger Raping Bitches and Destroying Pussies Squad so suddenly appears in the plot of HF after Shinji is killed. It's portrayed in a very subtle way in the VN itself.

What the fuck is going on.

As to the intro question, Shirou initially made the same mistake that Kiritsugu did in thinking that he could be EVERYONE'S hero by shouldering their bullshit though in a less pragmatic way than his adoptive father. HF really hammers home just how useless that ideal is and worse how ultimately self-destructive it is via Archer and the Mind of Steel bad end. He had to learn that being someone's hero meant having to commit to them, to spurn others for the sake of being the hope someone truly needs much like how Kiritsugu found hope again after finding Shirou in the aftermath of the 4th War.

Tl;Dr Heaven's Feel is Shirou getting the do-over Kerry WISHES he got before getting Angra Cancer

He's not. Otherwise Gil would have been the main character.

Women do not identify themselves with damaged goods. They may pretend otherwise for the sake of politics/looking good on the net, but their writing betrays them.

Women viscerally despise nice guys who get one-itis for damaged goods.

Women only appreciate one-itis in gigachads who can and do get ALL the pussy, but somehow get fixated on the heroine.

Can someone explain the history of the Holy Grail? What was the Einzberns' plan/goal in the Holy Grail War?
>>
>>282731374
The Einzberns wanted to ethnically cleanse the African population of Fuyuki city. A powerful dark man named Jamal appeared and defended his posse (every black man in Fuyuki) successfully. This provoked the wrath of the of the 3 families: Einzbern, Tohsaka, Makiri, who summoned servants in the holy grail war to destroy Jamal and his posse. Through careful diplomatic maneuvering, Jamal was able to secure an alliance with the United States and repelled the 3 families in the first 4 holy grail wars. It was only through the Trojan Horse of Sakura Matou that they were finally able to subdue Jamal by transferring her worms into Jamal's Penis, which put him into a state of constant, painful orgasm. Nasu went back on his earlier statements and clarified that Jamal actually knew about the worms and made love to Sakura anyways, being enthralled with the woman he could only describe as 'pure sex'.

>Shirou getting the do-over Kerry WISHES he got

Why in hell Shirou needs a do-over? Kerry blew up half the fucking city and orphaned Shirou (unintentioally, but as the direct result as his actions) at the end of the Grail War he got involved in because he was trying to atone for his earlier choice of choosing lives of hundreds and thousands of strangers over his foster mother.

Kerry is a miserable man mind-broken by a chain of highly contrived horrific events, who copes by trying to be a father (before he gets murdered for his effort).

Shirou, on the other hand, just genuinely likes to make as many people happy as is within his power. As was said above, he was pretty happy in the kitchen. DESPITE knowing that magic exists and he can do it, he realises that his seigi no mikata bullshit is something from the realm of fantasy. Until King Artur starts dueling Heracles in his backyard, you know. And he doesn't need much time to adapt to the new reality.

Shirou's actual character flaw is being a betabux doormat incarnate. HF is where this flaw gets exploited to the max, not fixed.
>>
>Shirou, on the other hand, just genuinely likes to make as many people happy as is within his power.

Look like you missed the 249353 times the VN calls Shirou an hypocrite.

>>
>>282695026

>>
>>282738174
>he was pretty happy in the kitchen.
Yes and no. The entire point of UBW is that Shirou's guilt over the fire renders him incapable of feeling happy for himself and undeserving of human fulfillment; he thus can only ever feel happy making others happy. When interrogated by Rin about it, Shirou confesses that there isn't anything that makes him happy as he feels unworthy of it. Shirou likes cooking because people enjoy his cooking. He doesn't enjoy the act of cooking for himself. The central thrust of UBW is Shirou's realizing that he wants to be a hero because he does want to be happy and enjoy his life like all people do, but that his trauma over the fire renders him unable of properly relating to that desire. Shirou's resolution to his inner conflict is to embrace being a hero on his own terms by only pursuing it insofar as it makes him happy, which is why the route ends with Shirou's choosing to go to London with Rin, because being happy matters to him more than the ideal in the abstract, and Rin makes him happier than being a hero. If there is one common thing across all of the routes, it is the theme of the redemptive and salvific power of love, and Shirou's being healed by the his love for the heroines and their love for him.

Of course the problem is that HF is a mess because Nasu changed his mind on having Shirou die by the end, which results in the themes' being inconsistent and self-refuting. The route hardly deals with Shirou's "being saved", so much as it does with his being so broken that he can't deviate from his ideal in the slightest. There's nothing as such preventing Shirou from pursuing being a superhero after saving Sakura, as the entire moral dilemma of the route is a bullshit contrived mess anyway. The entire point is that saving Sakura is impossible, such that Shirou hasn't really changed, so much as exchanged one impossible for another, Shirou's redefining what it means to be a hero so that he can remain true to himself.
>>
>>282738174
>>282738868
That Shirou never truly changes is profoundly central to the route, and Rin's telling him that she can't convince herself to save Sakura *because* it is impossible but she admires Shirou for being the same boy who wouldn't stop trying to jump over those poles too tall for him. Kirei tells Shirou that he would make a good anti-hero, a scapegoat for someone else's sins. Except Shirou chooses to sacrifice himself not for an abstract humanity, but for Sakura in particular; and in doing so, he *does*, in a shounen-esque fashion, save humanity from Angra-Mainyu. There is a clear thematic intent of saying that minor acts of love and good will towards those close to us can be as significant and powerful as grandiose acts of heroism.

And that's what makes the constant samefagging by Sakuracucks ITT so funny since HF is by far the most unrealistic, shounen-like and outlandish of the three routes. Which is why it is so comical that they insist on Shirou's having "matured", when Nasu only chose to spare him as a pity party for Sakura. Which is why the dogshit HF True end only focuses on Sakura and not in the slightest on Shirou, his only characterization being that he still likes Rin to show Sakura isn't insecure about the strength of Rin and Shirou's bond anymore. Nasu took Shirou's strong arc in HF and turned him into Sakura's consolation dildo. It's quite sad.

Shirou is not happy in UBW or even Fate. He's too burden by his guilt to feel genuine happiness. That's the whole point of Rin in UBW, to highlight that while both are magus and training hard only Rin enjoys it. Shirou doesn't like doing magic, it's only a mean to an end - helping people.
Lucky for him, HF happens and Shirou realized that he didn't need to magic to bring happiness to others and to feel it.

there's a scene where Sakura cooks for him in HF where Shirou basically thinks "oh so this is happiness" a realization he never came accross in Fate or UBW.

Gotta love how Shirou couldn't get rid of his suicidal coming mechanism in both Fate/Ubw routes (despite both of the heroines being heavily present in UBW!!) and only managed to do it in HF.
Sakura really did that

Why is he happy when she cooks for him? Is it because he's always the one cooking and doesn't actually like it?

Yeah. Hard reality where HF route was made irelevant long time ago.
>>
>>282740720

Shirou likes cooking; he's just being a tsundere about it—partly because he thinks cooking is more suited to women.

The point of the scene was to show that Shirou actually enjoyed being the one taken care of (just like in the scene where, despite his protests, Sakura stayed home when he was sick—and he admitted he was happy she did). It's also about how the guy who had a hard time smiling all this time finally found something that makes him happy: mundane things and, again, being cared for.

That's nice, and how the title of the work is called Fate. I guess they have similarities in that they were forced into roles, but changed their fates?

Yeah, Shirou saved Sakura from the path of evil, and Sakura saved Shirou from the path of heroism. They're a yin-yang couple that complete each other.

Sakura didn't really have control for the majority of the finale did she? She's basically a different person in a Sakura skin for the final few fights. It's like how you wouldn't say Saber is the same when she had none of the sense of justice or personality of the base form when she got grail corrupted.
>>
>>282742136
She's not being directly controlled the way she was when the shadow was rampaging in her sleep, but Angra Mainyu was corrupting her mind to amplify her negative emotions. Her actions as Dark Sakura are her actions, but with the caveat that it's her with her filters forcibly weakened as if she were drunk. Of course, even that ends up being rendered moot in the end when Angra Mainyu forcibly restrains her to get its way when she tries to reject it.
>>
>>282742273
You're telling me Angra Mainyu was inside Sakura? He knew every nook and cranny of her body?

So Zeltrech it's extracting power that doesn't exist???

>>282747269
Except HF is inextricably tied to multiple different timelines, since if the other universes where Rin is extracting power from with the Zelretch Sword didn't exist, there wouldn't have been a fight between her and Sakura at all. Each timeline that Rin takes mana from remains in existence instead of getting pruned alongside HF.

And no, Zelretch does not make things "canon" because canon is not a diegetic component of the story.

The great irony of /a/ Sakuralolcows is that they are simultaneously obsessed and seething about Rin, but within their own paradigm, Sakura only ever gets to be happy entirely because Rin is so based and epic she gets Zelretch to approve of her. Their entire pet obsession that isn't even real rests solely on Rin's shoulders. Maybe that's the reason they seethe so much in the first place. They can't cope with the fact the only reason Sakura will ever be with Shirou is because of Rin's charity and magnanimity. Must sting.
>>
>>282748244
By this logic Zelretch doesn't even observe timelines, he only ever observes events within timelines, such that everyone sans Rin would get wiped out within that timeline. Sheer nonsense.

Nasu also said Shirou never gets to fuck Sakura but only ever gets to jerk off to Jamal fucking her. But alas...

>>282738874

It's funny wormkeks keep trying to meme this retarded idea into reality, when the route features Shirou's arc getting sidelined for Sakura's sake.
>>
>>282752140
That's the opposite of what happened. Originally, Shirou was going to die no matter what, thus sidelining his relation with Sakura in favor of focusing on Sakura's sisterly bond with Rin. Nasu letting Shirou live in the end meant that Shirou was allowed to be more than a sacrificial pawn, developing as a character and ultimately getting rewarded for it rather than having his character arc end with him getting punished for his development.
>>
>>282696576
Shirou and Shiki are explicitly written to be self inserts.
>>
>>282752761
Subhuman mentally schizo nonsense. Shirou has no development to be rewarded for in HF. The fact that there has to be extrinsic forms of recompense through plot contrinvance just exposes how intrinsically unmeritorious this supposed development is. Clearly didn't read the posts (like how you didn't read the VN).

They seem to be taking mostly from Fate and UBW tho.

>>282717280
Unless he's put in a position where he's forced to choose between the few he cares about vs the many faceless masses or other larger groups of people then he's not even actually facing the problem his ideals bring, it's just being ignored until the offscreen future.

You say this as if the consequences of removing the Shroud of Martin weren't contrived to begin with. The concept of transferring souls into another vessel was heavily foreshadowed throughout the entire VN. Illya already did it to Shirou in Fate, and Zouken was constantly switching bodies to extend his lifespan. Also, we get to see the ending where Shirou dies even in the final VN. That ending only focuses on Sakura's perspective, completely ignoring everyone else, while True is the one that focuses on the other characters as well. Seems like you're the one who didn't read the VN.
>>
>>282753531
It's not written by Nasu anyway.
Also unlike Fate and UBW, HF can't be milked. It's not open-ended.
>>
>>282753758
>He learned to focus on saving a single person instead of the world
This was already addressed.
>>282738874
>Except Shirou chooses to sacrifice himself not for an abstract humanity, but for Sakura in particular; and in doing so, he *does*, in a shounen-esque fashion, save humanity from Angra-Mainyu. There is a clear thematic intent of saying that minor acts of love and good will towards those close to us can be as significant and powerful as grandiose acts of heroism.

>and became human
He's still the same machine he always was, channeled towards a different goal.

>You say this as if the consequences of removing the Shroud of Martin weren't contrived to begin with.
The whole of HF is a contrived mess, retard. The whole moral dilemma is an absolutely contrived mess, and Shirou's ultimately succeeding at saving Sakura is itself a contrived mess.

>while True is the one that focuses on the other characters as well.
Already addressed.
>Which is why the dogshit HF True end only focuses on Sakura and not in the slightest on Shirou, his only characterization being that he still likes Rin to show Sakura isn't insecure about the strength of Rin and Shirou's bond anymore.

It was written by Sanda and Nasu and made to be used in most future post F/sn works.

Shirou gazed up at the enormous face. Forty years it had taken him to learn what kind of smile was hidden beneath the dark moustache. O cruel, needless misunderstanding! O stubborn, self-willed exile from the loving breast! Two gin-scented tears trickled down the sides of his nose. But it was all right, everything was all right, the struggle was finished. He had won the victory over himself. He loved Jamal.

The quality of the writing is the only thing that really, actually matters. Even if HF were "the canon route" (which it isn't), it would just be a consolation prize for Sakurakeks for its being the most thematically inconsistent and poorly written of the routes with the worst romance, and worst heroine, and with the only redeeming qualities being in elements unrelated or directly pertinent to the romance. It wouldn't change the fact that UBW Shirou has the best writing (and that HF Shirou's arc can only be understood if you properly understood his UBW counterpart -- which most Sakurakeks don't) and Rin is the best heroine. "Canon" does not actually exist. Only the stories do as such, and the quality thereof speaks for itself. As does the fact that Nasu has never ever endorsed this idiosyncratic interpretation in any interview ever and at no point has TM tried to emphasize before and after FSN's release that HF is "canon".

Enjoy Shirou's getting cucked and fucked by Jamal though.

I mean regardless of opinion Shirou and Shiki being designed for self insertion is a fact.

>Nasu: In terms of the main topic, I hope people will feel like they have just watched a great movie after playing the game. Tsukihime and Fate are more about projecting yourself as the heroes, seeing through the eyes of Shiki and Shirou while experiencing adventurous scenarios, where the players should feel they have played a very fun game. Mahoutsukai no Yoru is played in the third person, the players can't project themselves onto any characters. They can't place their feelings on top of a character, but instead feel happy being in the position where they can over see the complicated story between the three main characters. To be happy not only about a particular character, but about the world view, this is how I intend it to be.

He's an UBW secondary newfag who can't handle it just being the middle of a larger overarching story.

Better yet, the mindbroken Rinfag is the infamous tldrhino/Rinshiroufan/4chan_refugee297 himself. So yeah, whenever he posts his garbage ChatGPT essays, just point out that he's nothing but a run of the mill election tourist whose bullshit isn't tolerated here.
