Didn't Shirou admit to having a Crush on Rin?
Didn't Shirou admit to having a Crush on Rin?
Sakura was the girl next door that came round, best friend's sister so he tried to think of her as a sister rather than anything.Originally Posted by Theocrass
Rin was the school idol he had an unrequited crush on, but wouldn't act on it because lol school idol doesn't talk to random guys.

Hm ... fair enough, I concede my point. If we're just talking about attraction.
Now, let's get back to topics that won't potentially stir up a shit storm.
But shitstorms are fun.
Metaphorically speaking.

At the start of the VN, Shirou has a crush on Rin. Depending on which route you play through, those feelings change.
Honestly, meaning no shitstorm to start, Koto is right. To a certain degree, he is "attracted" to everyone. Rin first, because lolunattainableschool idol, and the 'so-called' hardest to get fruit is the sweetest. Sakura was, like eddy said, the girl who he tried to put off as a little sister/just the sister of my friend. since we know Shirou has a very conservative personality, he feels that it isn't right. Saber is kinda in the same boat as Rin, the 'otherworldly/unattainable/vision of beauty' alien/magical/foreign girlfriend type. Multitude of fetish fuel at work. But this is my opinions based on attraction. We can't say whose better personality wise to him, because that varies as he gets to know them.
Oh and here is a pic I hope wasn't posted already:

Is she trying to pull off a summoning mid-battle?
I don't know. He was trying to stay away from Sakura like a junkie trying to come clean in front of his fix, and you know I adore Rin.
And sadly Pixiv has become home to a lot of Rin getting Gang Raped fanart which is grrrrrr to me.
Honestly, out of the three heroines Rin actually has other interests she could go to other than Shirou. She and Lancer were teasing each other in UBW. I need not say anything about Archer. Then there's the fact that Rin's bi-sexual. So out of all three of the heroines, it seems to me she has the most options other than Shirou. Hell, post HF I could easily see her hooking up with Rider for at least a fling after she was waxing on how gorgeous Rider was and obviously in denial that she played for the home team too.
I wouldn't go that far, it was more like "huh, Sakura's kind of hot. Oh well, can't pursue her so whatever"
Which is about what he had for Rin too.
But he talked to Sakura. Rin was the unattainable one, but Sakura he was giving himself reasons to stay away and getting all nervous about it.
Then again, this is Shirou and Shirou is adorable.
Well, if you think about it that way, nothing was really stopping him from going up to Rin and saying "TOHSAKA I LIKE YOU" except reasons he gave himself. (Granted they were good reasons.)
*goes through and skims some of the prologue and first days*
....no, I stand by my original point. shirou was developing a thing for sakura, but, it was more along the lines of
"gee, she is looking sexy lately! nonono bad thoughts bad thoughts bad thoughts!!!!"
as opposed to rin where it was more along the lines of a really, really bad highschool crush
"that there is a greek goddess who is so far outta my league its not funny and causes my brain to short circuit"
like talking aloud about her pretty hair in front of her or warning her about her breasts touching him.
Yeah....
I find the fact that there are considerably more pictures of Rin with Saber than with her own sister absolutely ridiculous, personally....
I wish there were more Sakura/Rin pictures (and not of the "Dark Sakura raping Rin" type, as hot as those are...).
Yeah, this.
Try being a Sakura fan....
And I'd like to see more Sakura x Shirou pics, but that doesn't mean they're magically going to appear, unfortunately....
Yeah, most of the pairings I can see on Pixiv seem to be Shirou x Saber and Archer x Rin.
At least Rin actually gets drawn, though, even if it's with Archer. Sakura doesn't even get that.
Sorry, but no. I'm pretty sure he's stated before that he thinks Sakura x Shirou is the best pairing.
Or, equally, she could have left to allow Sakura to take her place....I mean even when I watched the anime it just seemed so convenient for Rin that Saber left allowing her to slide right into place, even more so in the vn where he goes to school with her and does not head off to the bridge to reminisce some.
All that proves is that Rin, like Sakura, is attracted to him even outside her route. There's no chance in hell of them ending up together there, unless Sakura and Shirou decide to give her the pleasure of a threesome, which I somehow doubt....And in Heaven's Feel we get this weird seemingly unnecessary part at the end where Rin thinks to her self that she might actually love him.
Yeah, and he can move on to SakuraI know a lot of you will reject this because you like to see Shirou as super monogamous but come on, he is Kiritsugu's son and all the heroines comment on his latent womanizing tendencies. The possibility exists, most males remember there first crush fondly but they still move on because that is how humans work.
Yeah, nice idea....
Although, in their case, I kind of think that just normal sisterly love is better....
Well, he was one of your least favourite people on the last site too, and it never bothered him there....
Well, I certainly don't think that way, because after all she's been through Sakura deserves to be happy, and if she can't get that happiness with Shirou she deserves to have the chance of getting it with someone else.
Really?Just Rin is the one we get to see inside the mind of most often, so "RIN LIKES SHIROU" gets pointed out more.
I would say that "Sakura likes Shirou" is pointed out far more obviously, personally....
Well, that's by default, basically. At that point he barely knows Saber, and he's still in his "Sakura is my Kohai, I must not think of her as a woman" phase, so he's not going to pick her. Rin, on the other hand, he had an explicit crush on.
No, he was more openly attracted to Rin.
He was just as attracted to Sakura, if not more so, but he didn't want to acknowledge it.
I'm pretty sure it was Shirou's choice and not Rider's, though. If it were Rider's she would surely have used Sakura, because she knows Sakura's feelings for him.
Why would there be?huh, no spoiler text.
Yeah, this.
But, even so, that explains him having a dream of Rin and not Sakura. His crush on her is open, whereas he is desperately trying to bury his feelings for Sakura.
Yes, and it also has a lot of "Sakura getting gang-raped / forced to do horrible stuff by Shinji / penis-worm raped" fanart. And, I'd imagine, lots of "Saber getting gang-raped" fanart too, if you bothered to look....And sadly Pixiv has become home to a lot of Rin getting Gang Raped fanart which is grrrrrr to me.
I don't think it's specific to Rin, somehow.
Well, that's true almost by default, really. I mean, Saber is a familiar, and thus even if she lives can't easily form a relationship, and Sakura is both totally fixated on Shirou and also in a situation where, without significant external help (both practical and psychological) she can't find another guy.Honestly, out of the three heroines Rin actually has other interests she could go to other than Shirou. She and Lancer were teasing each other in UBW. I need not say anything about Archer
Yeah, lol, I can actually buy that one. And, I don't think Sakura would mind, somehow....Hell, post HF I could easily see her hooking up with Rider for at least a fling after she was waxing on how gorgeous Rider was and obviously in denial that she played for the home team too.
Yeah, but there's a difference between admiring a girl from afar and not daring to talk to her (which pretty much every guy has done at some point in their life) and spending most of your time doing the equivalent of putting your fingers in your ears and singing "lalala, I'm not listening" every time your libido kicks up about a girl you probably see more than virtually anyone.
Well, go read through HF, where he explicitly states that his feelings had been there for months, if not longer, and he had just been in denial....
Also, recall that Rin is a year older, so she developed sooner. There's a much bigger difference in terms of likely attractiveness between a 14-year-old and a 16-year-old than between a 15-year-old and a 17-year-old. It's openly stated in the game that Sakura's body had only really "developed" over the last year or so, and he doesn't say "I've gradually become attracted to her" but, rather "she's gradually become attractive".
I stand corrected.wall of mike
also
gee if I had intended to argue it, doncha think I would have said why the first time?Why would there be?

....you do realize this makes my point for me right? quite well, actually.
Not unless your "point" is different from what it appeared to be, it doesn't....
Because you seemed to be saying that Shirou is more attracted to Rin than to Sakura immediately pre-fate, whereas what I'm saying is that, whilst that attraction may have come about first (he knew Rin sooner, for one thing....), it is no stronger now, just that in Sakura's case he's in denial.
then you misunderstood, my point referred to the past tense, before the events of fate happened.
EDIT: and you edited. eh, I wont argue with you. wall of mike's kill the fun in fanclubs.

That looks like it was done by the person who did the MB manga.
...and sorta like it was done by the person who did the Spice & Wolf manga.
