    N: As the main character, I figured Shirou needed an older friend who supported him in his daily life. I wanted a "big sis" character who could always be near Shirou, so a schoolteacher was the ideal role for Taiga. I was aiming for a mature older sister character who was experienced in life and passionate about her kendo; someone who would offer Shirou kendo-inspired life advice. But what I got was Taiga ...

    I was thinking Taiga could fill the role of "the person close to the main character who dies tragically", so she was originally quite a mature character.

    N: Taiga is not particularly strict about [Shirou's] sexual relations, but she'll also be the first to admit that she's never seen a relationship through to any level of seriousness.

    N: She says she's on Sakura's side, but will readily admit that Rin has the best chance at winning Shirou's heart.

    N: The Emiya estate was previously maintained by the Fujimura family, but Kiritsugu bought it from them during the previous Holy Grail War. Taiga visited him often because she had a crush on him, and after he died, she felt it was her duty to look after Shirou. I don't know if you could really call her Shirou's guardian because she's more like a semi-unreliable sister... For that matter, I'm not sure we should call her feelings for Kiritsugu a "crush". The way she felt about him is basically the same as the way Shirou felt about him. For these two youths, Kiritsugu was their role model for the grown-up they wanted to be some day.

    I'd believe it if Taiga fulfilled her original purpose and joined a cult and EMIYA became bobEMIYA because of it

    if bobEMIYA had a line for Taiga

    One the main reasons I don't think much of the Taiga theory about Bobmiya is that he doesn't seem to have any significant MyRoom lines, vague or otherwise, about Taigaman. Like, a super missed opportunity there.

    fucking savage

    Also it's for the best that Kerry died early, lest we end up with a trenchcoat-wearing dead fish eyes Taiga.

    Either it is too painful for Emiya to mention, still have not added(Look at the load of new stuff added for Jeanne) or it has really nothing to do with Taiga. Who knows.

    Let's be honest with ourselves. Taiga is totally the type of person who would go join a cult dedicated to a sexy nun.

    People do stupid things when troubled. While pretty cheerful and optimistic, I'm sure reading news of Shirou, one whom she cared about like a brother, even close to something like a son leaving home and becoming a world renown terrorist is going to be painful, and some seek religion to look for answers and comfort. Besides, Kiara's scary in that she bring ruins to another one who associates with her, but yet give the victim the feeling of being helped.

    Okay, maybe not world renown, but reports on terrorists on news show their picture and name if possible, so I'm sure Shirou will get such treatment too.

    Pretty sure the "nameless" title just means that he discarded his name when becoming a Heroic Spirit/Counter Guardian, not that it was never known in life.

    No. No one knew who he was in life.

    Since he had close friends and even a lover, it seems pretty strange that absolutely nobody knew his name, but I guess canon is canon.

    Extra EMIYA and FSN EMIYA's histories are pretty much interchangable pre-death.

    He had friends and a lover.
    He lost all of them, and he was cornered by the ideal he pursued.



    Anyway, the whole point of the nameless thing has to do with his Heroic Spirit-ism and a metaphor for being a sword without a signature, which is the only relevant issue. The people he fought and the people he saved just saw this guy that showed up, fought, and then vanished. It's a callback to Heaven's Feel and Last Episode, where it talks about how he can or does lose himself in his actions and just becomes a machine carrying out a wish. And in Extra, it's still irrelevant. It's only ever relevant in FSN because, oh, he knows these people.
