May 14, 2012 - @Nutead180 depending upon which storyline happens in the game, they are or aren't. Fate Shirou = Archer. Unlimited Blade Works Shirou =/= Archer (This one is somewhat arguable), Heaven's Feel Shirou =/= Archer - No arguing with this one. he just doesn't become him.
Also if you read the visual novel, you'd know their reality marbles look different because of Archer doing the hero thing for so long he's become very mechanical, hence gears, etc. in his. Shirou still feels. Type-Moon does it right.

May 13, 2012 - thats why his badass on Heaven's feel route. :D
KingBookerZ Says:
May 12, 2012 - He had Rho Aius up for most of the time he said that.
TheAthelas11 Says:
May 12, 2012 - how someone can say this stuff middle of fight and doesn't get killed? :O
KingBookerZ Says:
May 12, 2012 - Yeah he pretty much went screw everyone, let's go risk armadeggon, after letting everyone in my town die to save Sakura.
I'm pretty sure that's worse than his original ideology and pretty much did a complete 180. There's reason why he had pretty much accepted his body killing him in order to pay for his sins.

May 12, 2012 - Come then, King of Heroes. Do you have enough blades?
GUNDAM00745 Says:
May 11, 2012 - no. he pretty much dump the "save everyone" ideology and chose sakura instead.
NewtypeChild6 Says:
May 11, 2012 - not exactly, he just decided to help those closer to him.
But it's still that dumbfk hero ideology that gave him the power to do so....
GUNDAM00745 Says:
May 8, 2012 - the one thing this fella did right was dropping the dumbfk hero ideology in Heaven's Feel.

May 5, 2012 - am the bone of my sword.
Steel is my body, and fire is my blood.
I have created over a thousand blades.
Unknown to death.
Nor known to life.
Have withstood pain to create many weapons.
Yet, those hands will never hold anything.
So as I pray, "Unlimited Blade Works

May 3, 2012 - mhmm same and btw is angel kurumi good? but i need to admit i have seen some pretty bad dubs clannad has a really shocking one lol.
archer always sounds like that
MasterMetallix Says:
May 3, 2012 - Yeah, and in the Unlimited Blade Works movie, Archer speaks better Engrish than Shirou. Archer actually sounds like he says "Unlimited Blade Works," but Shirou sounds more like "Anrimitedo Bureido Wakuzu!"
Also, when they made the English dub of the anime, why'd they change Archer's lines? The Engrish correct, so they should have just not dubbed it. This (well, YouTube clips) and Steel Angel Kurumi are two anime I liked better subbed than dubbed, though I've enjoyed other anime's dubs, too.

May 2, 2012 - definitely have to disagree there, kawai kenji just makes a more accessible and streamlined version, like most if not all of his rearranges...
the originals usually have some parts that actually presents an emotion or an expression, the watered down version usually suck arse
emipony6 Says:
Apr 27, 2012 - Kawai Kenji's version is better, but this is good too.
ChronoJ01 Says:
Apr 25, 2012 - His body is made out of swords
His blood is of iron and his heart of glass
He survived through countless battles
Not even once retreating
Not even once being understood
He was always alone
Intoxicated with victory in a hill of swords
Thus, his life has no meaning
That body was certainly made out of swords

DukeOfWars Says:
Apr 20, 2012 - These hands of mine have forged war,
Hammers fall and embers rise
I have fought across numerous battlefields
never given quarter
nor glory
These hands reach toward
The everdistant horizon
Upon this earth
I pray
Gaia's Forge
KingBookerZ Says:
Apr 20, 2012 - Best lines in the entire VN, not even Archer's could compare.
KingBookerZ Says:
Apr 20, 2012 - Emiya Shirou - That's right. I don't create swords. I create a world that contains infinite swords. This is the only magic allowed for me. There's no need to be surprised. These are all imitations. As you say, these are all trifling swords. But there is no rule that says an imitation cannot surpass the original. If you say you are the original, I will surpass every one of your weapons and destroy your existence. Here I come, King of Heroes, Do you have enough swords in stock?
12431265 Says:
Apr 20, 2012 - thats basically what i was saying that garcher's one was better because he sounds more badass saying it now if garcher had said shirou's version i would have liked that one more lol shirou is really only good for a few things in each route so he loses badass points there for me lol
XeroMaano Says:
Apr 19, 2012 - Shirou was badass, but not as badass as his future self (GARCHER)
12431265 Says:
Apr 19, 2012 - its more popular because he sounds so badass when he says it i was so disappointed when shirou didn't do his like archer lol
MrDukeDumas Says:
Apr 18, 2012 - Let's pray for a heavens feel adaptation done by Studio Deen lol no UFOTABLE!!!
MasterMetallix Says:
Apr 15, 2012 - Actually, Archer has a slightly different (and arguably the better-known) version, which reads as follows:
---
I am the bone of my sword.
Steel is my body, and fire is my blood.
I have created over a thousand blades.
Unknown to death, nor known to life.
Have withstood pain to create many weapons.
Yet those hands will never hold anything.
So, as I pray - Unlimited Blade Works.
- Archer
