    That demonstrates my point. Shirou projected those pots using his original magic (UBW) "to relax".

    If they were normal projections, those pots would disappear since normal projection, by definition, cannot last. This is why Rin was so shocked to see them.

    It's how she appears in FSN, yes. Not in HA. If she were, she wouldn't be Archery club captain/vice-captain (I don't recall which) in the first place.

    Her actual personality isn't the issue here. It's about what somebody who doesn't know her from a bar of soap would know.
    Yes, and you're forgetting that HA is set six months later, with Sakura no longer under Zouken's control. She is most definitely not a "doormat" there (from what I can tell, anyway)....

    His normal projection is indeed an offshoot of his ability to use UBW, but it isn't UBW itself. There aren't rows of cooking utensils hanging on a rack in his Reality Marble, after all....

    So if he sees her so perfectly why are you always against the pairing claiming he couldn't possibly understand her?

    Great, now I have an image of Sakura with a bad haircut listening to Linkin Park and cutting herself.

    So... you're just imagining Sakura? I don't understand the point you're trying to make.

    That's debatable. I think that it's the most reasonable explanation why the junk in the shed doesn't disappear.

    Because he doesn't know her past, at all.

    I'm not saying he understands her perfectly, just that he thinks of her as a generic kind, caring, happy and reasonably assertive young girl rather than as a "doormat".

    I wouldn't be too sure about that. For instance, we KNOW Rho Aias is in UBW somewhere but it's not like we see it either. Considering how badly he fails at just plain reinforcement as well as the fact that the pots didn't disappear (like all regular projections), the only logical solution is that they're UBW based projections since those have the possibility of lasting a lot longer.

    Just a heads up guys, don't mix UBW with projection.

    CM3 says Shirou is proficient at Projection, and his Projection is not a product of UBW.

    The pot is just pot, not UBW pot. Also, pots are a lot simpler, thus it is easier to make a near-perfect pot.

    Was this part of the untranslated bits of CM3?

    Rin established that normal projections go away over time (this part isn't something Rin would get wrong since it's not UBW). Perfection doesn't decide whether it lasts unlike Shirou's UBW stuff.

    Well, if the link to arai's translation is complete, then I'm completely missing the part with that assertion.

    I'm pretty sure arai didn't translate all of the Q&A (y'know this was why everyone was asking him for all the Sakura and is Shinji's mom a God's Holder whatever) and stuff like that at the very least.

    Yes, some parts.

    By the way, Cruor, have arai confirmed the bit I told you about the extra Battle Continuation stuff?

    ....huh. Well, I can't complain if for one reason or another he cut things short, but, arai isn't the only one who speaks derp speak and has a copy, I am a little surprised we....or at least I, am just now hearing about something like that.

    Scratch what I said guys.

    I got off my butt and dug up the entry in CM3.

    It was an example used to explain the Magic Attribute "Projection". It actually specifically says Shirou's projection IS a result of the Reality Marble UBW.

    I somehow remembered the other way around, lol. Guess I should take my own advice and hit the book more often .

    One cookie for ChronoReverse.


    EDIT:

    And yes, them pots are living applications of UBW.

    But, are they stored in UBW? There's a difference between his projection being a result of UBW and it actually being done by UBW, after all, and he's canonically shown to be able to use reinforcement pretty well, at least potentially (Archer re-inforces his eyes).

    ...you knew it was gonna happen.
    McJon01: We all know that the real reason Archer would lose to Rider is because the events of his own Holy Grail War left him with a particular weakness toward "older sister" types.
