GJ:I have a question about Fate characters. How high (or low) are the talents of Emiya Shirou and Tohsaka Rin within the entire history of the Association?
Nasu:
Rin really is a genius. Given time, she'll enter within the top 100 magi of the Association throughout its entire history. Shirou won't move out from being an magus apprentice, but as a spell-user, he'll be among one of the big specialists. Ultimately, he'll receive an evaluation on the same level as "Magus Killer" Emiya Kiritsugu had in his peak, maybe. If I were to put into simple numbers, Ciel: 100, Rin: 70-100, Shirou: 10 (under particular limited conditions, then 40).
The numbers always pointed that way, Rin at her very best would be able of matching Ciel, and only then. It's nice that Ciel can be more of a rival to Arc now, in the past she could be one only because in a battle she wouldn't die, now it seems she can put up more of a fight under normal conditions even if Arc is still, well, Arc.
