^ Not gonna lie, if handled correctly that could've been more interesting than Shirou's character arc.

Instead of all the non-suicidal choices leading to a bad end, it'd be choosing all the non-asshole options that screwed you over.Originally Posted by Historia
Honestly, never really got that unless you just hated Sakura. If anything, she did a lot of things outside Sakura's best interest, and most of the stuff she said can be attributed to her own feelings.
When you read them, she does project a bit.
I refer you to Shinji/stay night (NSFW).
berserker is the most boring fsn character not rider
He never sleeps. He never dies.
Battle doesn't need a purpose; the battle is its own purpose. You don't ask why a plague spreads or a field burns. Don't ask why I fight.

Rider is awesome, specially in HA , and she have a lot of scenes that dont have anything to do with Sakura. But your first sentence nailed it, i think, people who dislike Sakura maybe will dislike her as side effect
I counter that with Kojirou, who could easily replaced by a Indiana Jones-style blade trap and not affect the story.

It's sadly true, even though I honestly like the guy's character. Only in UBW does he have an actual effect on things, but that's mostly because Temple Team lasts halfway through the route this time.
I don't think it's necessarily bad for characters to lack agency if the story doesn't require them to or outright benefits from it. I don't mind Berserker existing as an extension of Illya, for instance.
Berserker's like a good dog. Kojiou is a fence.

Kojiro is the tragedy of the neglected man behind the myth.
Superhero is fine. Better than "ally of justice", even.
You mean Superhero Shirou or just the term superhero? I think that Shirou should have been named Caped Crusader or something.
The term mirrormoon used as a translation for seigi no mikata.
He had a pretty cool intro that gave some good depth in U/C.
Its unfortunately pretty under the radar.
Its the sentiment that bothers me, Medusa isn't much different than any of the other Servant's attachments. The whole reason she is attached to Sakura is part atonement and partially projecting herself with someone she relates with.[Rider is awesome, specially in HA , and she have a lot of scenes that dont have anything to do with Sakura.

Superhero doesn't work because of the implications it has. A superhero from a western perspective is different from the Ally of Justice trope. I think I wrote on this before when I talked about Touga from Zetman as a good example.The term mirrormoon used as a translation for seigi no mikata.
"Fate/stay night: not really an eroge, and not really a cooking sim, but actually an RPG wherein everyone’s primary stat is “self-loathing” and the goal is to level it up beyond all the other characters."
Arashi and Mew also explained the specific connotations of seigi no mikata, using Kamen Rider as example, and I understand them; but I would argue that the term "superhero" comes close enough, particularly when those specific connotations are covered by the text.
I am pretty amazed at the number of people that like Shinji but unironically around these neighborhoods...
