    They should have just stuck with his iconic baseball shirt. The stupid running jacket makes him look even more like a generic shounen protag.

    Guess that explains why he comes off as one in ufoUBW...

    I'm... sorry, I just can't see how a white T-shirt with blue sleeves can inspire strong feelings one way or the other.
    O walls, you have held up so much tedious graffiti that I am amazed you have not already collapsed in ruin.

    I mean I don't have strong feelings about it, it doesn't ruin Shirou or make him hard to take serous, or anything silly like that. It just looks dumb.

    Eh, to me the best/worst that can be said about his whole ensemble is it just looks like something an unimaginative teenage boy would wear. If you think that kind of thing looks dumb then I won't argue.

    It can look great though, just tatter it a bit and give the boy some battle damage a la 3rei and we're in business.

If i saw fanart of nu-Shiki im not sure if i would realize its him unless there were obvious tells like the knife.

    Original 2004 Shirou was also really ugly but super recognizable, nu-Shirou is good and still super recognizable.

    Soujuurou is my fave. Cute and recognizable.
    I think calling Classic Shiki nondescript is an exaggeration. His design is elegant AND functional, and while you would be hard-pressed to name any aesthetic elements that truly stand out (other than the glasses), the overall package is still effective enough for him to be instantly recognizable, especially if he pulls out a knife. Other male TM leads either look dumb (Shirou, Shiki Tohno is his casual shirt) or over-designed (Sieg). Kerry doesn't look dumb or over-designed on his own, but does not make much aesthetic sense in the context of his surroundings. Seriously, show him to anyone who does not know the least thing about Fate and I'd bet a lot of people would describe him as a gangster; dude would feel right at home in a work taking place during the Prohibition.

    Now, the new Shiki Tohno... that one is absolutely generic. Of all the new designs in the Tsukihime remake, I think his is the only one I'd call a true downgrade.

    Like he still doesn't come close to Shirou but he's very endearing after the GO/Apo crossover.

    And I still stand by that he has the best design of all the poll options.
    This is the guy who learned to be human with Jeanne, got taught by Chiron, endured Astolfo, faced humanity's ugliness with Jack and brought honor to Siegfried's legacy. He spent more than a dozen years thinking about his experiences. Plus, he's "young". Of course he's be a dork who'd befriend you, make you sammiches, protect you, teach you maths, carry you on his back when dragon'd and draw you a pretty picture of Fafnir burning a gazer to scare away nightmares. He's adorable! What's there to hate?

    Even when it's something simple, it will bring up strong feelings in fandom.

    The fact even I have seen it in clearance stores (seen the bloody rag in at least three different Marshall's) does not help.

    Nasu should hire Kubo sama to do characters.

    That Kerr looks just like a villain from Durarara or Baccano is a well known fact, but at least he stands out and is recognizable without requiring knowing the character.

    Shiki literally ended up looking like Charlie in civvies.

    As weird and "Otomate bait" as Prototype was, the most unique character designs were either there or in Mahoyo. MB goes without saying.

    It's very clear that the most stylish Fate protag is Shiki.

    Ryougi, that is.
