Which TM hero would you LEAST want to date?

[aldeayeah]

Shirou is a bro, Shiki is a snarklord, Soujuurou is a dense lovable guy, Mikiya is a salt of the earth kinda guy. I like all of them.

I know little about Protosaber, but he seems to be fashioned after a traditional shoujo manga love interest. Which means he's probably inscrutable, unrealistically perfect, and generally insufferable.

He probably looks like that at a glance, but he isn't. Though the fact that he looks like that at the surface level is definitely intended and part of his character.

Full simping activated though, he's definitely perfect enough in my eyes for me to wish Prototype was released as an eroge VN just like FSN ended up.

Saber. She scary.

Wrong Saber

[Altima of the Gates]

Shirou ruins any date through his overwhelming guilt for having any sort of fun, at least Shiki knows how to cut loose.

I thought about this, and its kinda funny. He went on about that when on the outing with Rin and Saber, so its definitely true he still has problems.
But then you have the fact he regular hunts with Raiga, fixes the Fujimura group's vehicles, worked at a bar since he was TWELVE, used to wrestle Taiga all the time, and does things like have little role play sessions of cooking show host with Sakura.
I think in Rin's case, she tried to get him to acknowledge he was having fun, so the crap came out. Kinda like how he buries the stuff about his parents deep inside.
As you can see even in Emiya's case where he also "cuts loose" (haha) with his inner snark, there is still those parts of him that are kinda stick in the mud like.
Surprisingly, he has a lot to offer but is the type of person you'd have to active to bring that out.

Shirou is the kind of guy who'd constantly zone out having internal monologues, or bail on your date halfway through because someone called him to fix their pipes.

Shiki has buried rapist tendencies and is overall kind of a nerd.

Mikiya is a "safe choice", he's a perfect gentleman throughout your date, but he kisses you on the cheek when the date ends (if even that).

I know nothing about Sojuurou, so pass.

Dating Saber means there's a better than even chance Gilgamesh crashes your date and shanks you.

And don't forget the "HE IS MY FATHER, I RESPECT HIM BUT I HATE HIM! IT'S COMPLEX" daughter--*cough I mean son of Saber who probably will not approve of your relationship with Saber. Prototype!Mordred is pretty much similar to Mordred right?

Proto Mor is a yandere

[Tepanyakigo]

Proto Mor is a yandere

Yandere with daddy issue? Yikes

[Escavalien]

Proto Mordred is still relatively vague, no? Yandere is thrown out but not particularly all-encompassing of him. Though Proto Arthur does wish Proto Mordred was as cute as Mordred in FGO.

[asterism42]

Father. I’ll destroy everything that you love! You won’t need anything, won’t desire anything, I’ll make you love me until you scream out in despair! Arthur Pendragon!

seems pretty explanatory IMO

[Escavalien]

Sounds like just a blunter version of regular Mordred

[Deathhappens]

Regular Mordred wanted Saber to acknowledge her so badly she ruined her kingdom (or well, finished it off) to prove she could, but I don't think she was actually gay for dad like that.

[Escavalien]

I mean from Apocrypha I thought she had always wanted her dad's affection and acknowledgement, which is what fueled that anger in the first place?
