Fate zero who is archer

Afterwards, Archer scolds her for being so careless, and asks whether or not she knows the importance of Command Seals. Once their argument is settled, Archer agrees to stay with Rin. He blames Rin for his vague memories due to her incomplete summoning but also acknowledges her talents and skills. Archer then tours Fuyuki City with Rin acting as his guide. As they venture through the city, Archer learns that Rin has no actual wish for the Holy Grail , other than her desire to win it.

One night, after informing Archer of a strange Bounded field around the school grounds, Rin goes to the school in an attempt to destroy it, only to encounter another servant, who she identifies as belonging to the Lancer-class. When Lancer tries to attack Rin, Archer intervenes. The two servants then engage in a fight. While Lancer tries to disarm Archer, he becomes quite agitated at Archer's ability to reequip his swords. During in their fight, Shirou Emiya was a pedestrian who witnessed the two Heroic Spirits battle for the first time.

Before their fight can continue, they are disrupted by Shirou's presence. Lancer stops the fight and pursues Shirou, Archer and Rin follow him. Lancer pursues the student, and impales him before fleeing. Archer and Rin stumble upon the student's body. Rin orders Archer to track down Lancer, but he was unsuccessful. Rin uses the magic in her pendant to revive Shirou. Before the boy can regain consciousness, the pair flee.

Archer gave his own pendant back to Rin making her think that Archer returned to the scene to retrieve the pendant. Shortly after, Archer and Rin come to the conclusion that Lancer's master will gain knowledge of the boy's survival, and have Lancer finish him off. Deciding to protect the boy, the pair travel to the suburbs. However, before they can enter the grounds, they are attacked by a servant, who Rin identifies as belonging to the Saber-class.

In Fate , Archer is badly wounded in his confrontation with Saber. He is forced to spent most of his time within his summoning circle to recover, preventing Rin from participating in the War. In order to buy the trio time to escape, Archer fights Berserker. He is subsequently killed, but not before killing Berserker six times five in the anime and reducing his stock of lives from God Hand.

In this route, Archer is only known as a nameless hero who gives Shirou an advice before his final fight. In Unlimited Blade Works , Archer is the servant protagonist and later a temporary secondary antagonist. Archer early in the story is shown to be both a powerful servant and a character shrouded in mystery. During the early part of the route, Archer also awakens Shirou's dormant magic circuits.

In this route, Shirou orders Saber not to attack Archer, accidentally using his Command Seal in the process. This allows Archer to join Rin on her visit to the Church and partake in the battle against Berserker and Illya. During the battle, Archer shows great skill when he protected Rin from Illya and attacking Berserker with his Caladbolg, which he fired as an arrow to destructive effect.

It is during this time that Archer demonstrates that he is on par with Caster in devising strategies with them both being regarded as the best tacticians in the Holy Grail War.

However, he doesn't share his well-planned strategies with Rin beforehand. Shirou and Archer soon get into a quarrel over Shirou's ideals, and Archer attacks him but is stopped by Saber and Assassin. Rin then uses a Command Seal to order Archer to never attack Shirou. Multiple times throughout the route, Archer tries to kill Shirou Emiya or not assist in dangerous situations Shirou is caught in, in hopes of it resulting in his death.

Following Rider's death, Archer and Saber debate over how Rider was killed; while Saber claims she died in honor protecting her Master, Archer claims she was a weakling, once again creating a rift between him and the others. After Saber is snatched away by Caster, Rin decides to rescue her so Saber can be returned to Shirou.

Archer promptly betrays Rin and aligns with Caster because he claimed she had the highest chance of acquiring the Holy Grail. Archer battles Lancer for a second time when the latter joins Shirou and Rin in their renewed effort to reclaim Saber.

After his defeat, Archer retreats back into the Church and betrays Caster and her master and kills them both, revealing his true intentions. Archer's identity as an older version of Shirou is also revealed. Archer reveals he needed to be freed from his contract with Rin in order to accomplish his goal of killing Shirou. Archer then kidnaps Rin after she forms a contract with Saber, forcing a situation where Shirou must engage Archer.

During the battle it's revealed that due to Shirou and Archer being the same person, the more he engages with Archer the more Shirou absorbs Archer's skills and abilities. In addition, Shirou also witnesses Archer's memories, glimpsing into a supposed future that awaits him.

Archer during his attacks, constantly critiques Shirou's ideals as hypocritical and borrowed, causing Shirou to waver in his resolve. Yet he firmly held onto his ideals, claiming they were beautiful and worth seeking after. Though superior in strength, Archer loses the battle due to accepting Shirou's unwavering desire to remain a "Hero of Justice.

Despite everyone believing him to be dead, he saves Rin from the Holy Grail and eliminates a cornered and nearly defeated Gilgamesh who had lost to Shirou. Rin appears before him desiring to form a contract with him. Archer tells her he does not want to and he believes it would not be possible. He then disappears for good with a smile on his face, confident that Rin will stop Shirou from taking a path that he will regret.

Within the anime adaption, an epilogue showcases Archer returning to his role as a Counter Guardian. He remembers his experience from the Fifth Holy Grail War. Although he is still left with regrets, he now proclaims that the path he has chosen was not wrong.

In Heaven's Feel , Archer abandons his wish to kill Shirou, opting instead to fulfill his duties as a Counter Guardian to eliminate 'the Shadow'. However, he and Rin later encounter Zouken Matou and Caster's re-animated corpse. Saber dispatches Caster while Archer attacks Zouken. The Shadow then appears and injures Shirou, allowing Zouken a chance to flee.

Enraged, Shinji spills a substance over Sakura that causes her to lose control and a boundary field to activate. Archer opts to kill Sakura before she can use the boundary field to cause any harm, but Rider is determined to protect her Master. As a fight breaks out, Rider is forced to use her Mystic Eyes, revealing her identity as Medusa, and begins to petrify Archer.

Archer is saved when the sight of an injured Shirou drives Sakura to incapacitate herself. During a battle with Saber Alter, Assassin and "the Shadow", Archer's core is critically damaged and he is mortally wounded. Since Shirou has discarded his heroic ideals to save Sakura, Archer chooses to have Kotomine graft his left arm onto Shirou, who lost his arm protecting Illya following the way of the Counter Guardians, sacrificing one life to save another rather than losing both.

Archer manages to resist disappearing throughout the entire journey to the Church up until the transplant is complete. Much of Archer's knowledge was subsequently transferred to Shirou, though the foreign arm began to invade his body as well.

Archer's final appearance in Heaven's Feel is a motivational image for Shirou, who is struggling with taking off the Shroud of Martin.

He handles Shirou roughly, but handles Illya gently. During a fight with the Shadow, Archer utilizes Rho Aias but to no avail.

He remains loyal to Rin instead of joining Caster of his own free will, and he displays the same antagonistic attitude towards Shirou. He is forced to join Caster once Kuzuki captures and holds Rin hostage. After freeing himself from her control, he proceeds with his plan to kill Shirou. He is stopped by Rin, who begs him not to kill his younger self and erase his existence as a Heroic Spirit, as she has respect for both Shirou and Archer.

Eventually, Archer decides not to kill Shirou and continues his role as Rin's Servant, reforming their contract. Finally, during the group's rescue of Shirou from Illya's mansion, Archer sacrifices himself to stall Berserker in battle and take away half his stock of lives - but not before entrusting Rin to Shirou, giving him a few final words of encouragement before walking to the hero's end he'd always previously disdained, smiling to the very end.

In the loops, Archer guards the bridge that connects Miyama and Shinto districts of Fuyuki city. Should Shirou try to cross the bridge at night time without meeting certain conditions first, he will be sniped off by Archer from the roof of the center building in Shinto district.

They fight from a long distance. After that, he began showing up in Fuyuki to be interacted with. In his arcade story, he monologues his situation about him being summoned in the Fuyuki Holy Grail War and how it was a miracle for him to achieve his goal to alter his past by ending Shirou and allowing Rin to win the Holy Grail War.

He has to deceive his Master in order to do this. Archer unexpectedly faces Shirou early and by the time he faces Shirou, Shirou figured out his identity and challenged Archer. Archer expected Saber to fight him personally, however Shirou decided to settle things between the two as the Hero of Justice.

As the fight turns into a clash of their ideals, Archer responds to Shirou that an ideal amounts to nothing if there is no strength to back them up and is forced to cut him down. Although he wins, it is hinted that Archer didn't kill Shirou and continued the Holy Grail War against the other participants.

His last opponent is Gilgamesh, who asked if Archer requested assistance for death. However, Archer claims that he is doing something stupid by eliminating the villain who will burn the whole city. His original goal was to let Rin win, but he can't allow Gilgamesh to continue and Archer prevails in their fight. In his ending, many years have passed and Archer is fighting along with an adult Rin against an army of Golems.

Archer turns out more cheerful and Rin finds him cooler than in their first encounter. She claims that she transformed Archer into this form because he didn't help her out in the war.

Archer regrets that he didn't destroy the Holy Grail. He mainly serves at Chaldea's cafeteria along with Minamoto-no-Raikou, Boudica, and Tamamo Cat, as well as looking after the children servants of Chaldea. After being blackened, he acts as Saber Alter's guardian, patrolling the burning ruins of Fuyuki and attacking anyone he deems a threat with his bow. During this time, he seems to have had several encounters with Caster , where they fought at long-range with neither being able to get the upper hand.

When Caster teams up with the Chaldea team, he faces Archer on Mt. Miyama, finally ending their battle at the Miyama Temple with Caster being the victor. After hearing Shimuza Setanta 's complaint about being grouped with him and Mouri Medinari , Chousokabe states that he wished could've refused to obey this time around.

He then asks Mouri if she knows what is happening after she complains that the Holy Grail is being used for something weird again. He agrees with her plan for him to ambush Ritsuka's party when Shimuza lures them. Shimuza succeeds in luring the group to the ambush spot, which Chousakabe assaults his arrows.

After the ambush is successful, he asks Mouri what she plans to do with the group. However, when he says the given names of himself and his allies, Okita Souji becomes enraged and dons the Coat of Oaths.

After Okita defeats him and his companions, Chousakabe states that this incident was stranger than expected. EMIYA goes on a fishing trip with Robin Hood as a continuation of their competition since both were equally matched at hunting in the woods.

Unfortunately, their contest was interrupted when David , having stowed away earlier, inadvertently steered their ship into a storm in his attempt to meet the ladies of Southern Lands. David further infuriates them by telling them to jump overboard and swim for shore, believing that the ship can withhold his weight alone.

Santa Alter suddenly lands on the ship. EMIYA remains silent when Robin asks him if he knows her when she mentions him regarding that a Servant should think of their Master's safety. However, he and the others fight Santa Alter when she decides to test David's claim of being the " Most Victorious King ". She answers she came in response to a Dear Santa letter. He then refutes Santa Alter's claim that he's too overprotective unlike Robin's more subtle method of protecting his Master.

He and Robin then both yell that David hasn't learned anything since Uriah incident when he asked who was talking about Carneades.

On that basis, Nero tries to negotiate peace with them. But her attempts fail when X suddenly attacks her, forcing a fight between the two parties. X accepts and allows Nero to stay as well. The group later discusses the possibility of Artoria Lily achieving her dream to become an ideal king because she is an "if" of King Arthur.

EMIYA says Servants normally have no future but under certain conditions, they'll be released from their past and become humans of that era. X reveals she traveled from the future to save it.

Tamamo wonders if Nero holding a world tour in the future is the cause. Nero is insulted, believing her concert would save the future. But X reveals it destroyed Space Rome, adding that it even caused Altera to flee. X then reveals that the future is in economic crisis due to the oversaturation of Sabers. Thus she came to the past to destroy the Saber class before that can happen. She is then shot by Ultra Heroine Z while protecting Nero.

Z is a paradoxical version of X and fights the group. Eventually, with the others supporting her, Artoria Lily defeats Z. When Ritsuka and William Shakespeare confront him in Fuyuki, he tries to convince Ritsuka that receiving chocolate made by Servants is potentially dangerous. Seeing they aren't convinced, he calls upon Diarmuid Ua Duibhne to talk about the dangers of chocolate. Diarmuid recounts his receiving of chocolate in a certain Grail War ended with two people killing each other and him with stomach ulcers.

Knowing the feeling of not receiving anything all too well, EMIYA gives Ritsuka chocolate he made from leftover ingredients.

He and Shakespeare then notice Julius Caesar. Caesar hints the mastermind behind this incident is a recent Servant, who he and Shakespeare both describe as a villain.

He explains his projections are imitations that are neither better nor worse than the original. But if an imitation is made equal to the original, it'll be the "audience" who determines which is better.

EMIYA calls the conception of improvement a necessity for humans to move into the future. He says imitations can be as valuable as the originals they're derived from. Imitations can be improved, so there are infinite possibilities. Entering the Command Room, they discover it wasn't Romani who sounded the alarm. They then hear a broadcast from Leonardo da Vinci telling Ritsuka and the Servants to come to her workshop combat-ready in one minute.

Da Vinci explains she found it when investigating why her genuine Mona Lisa, which sold easily before, suddenly stopped selling. Deciding the counterfeiter is evil, she tasks Ritsuka and the others with finding and defeating them. She joins them, easily convincing Romani to let her.

Arriving in the Singularity, the group goes to a town to gather information. Da Vinci orders the group to attack them, not believing in their claims of innocence. After being defeated, Caesar tells the group of a counterfeiting operation in town run by a Servant. However, the group encounters counterfeit Alexander , who confirms their observations. Expressing the same confusion as the rest at his back story, considering it to be a very girly wish, he fights the group.

He is defeated and disappears, revealing there are more counterfeit workshops. The group later finds themselves in a snowy region surrounded by monsters. Romani confirms it's a counterfeit, which helps Da Vinci ascertain where the next counterfeit workshop is.

Arriving in the cave where the workshop is, the group is greeted by counterfeit Hector. He asks them to let him and explains what his role is. EMIYA calls the counterfeits' Master's skills inferior, but they come close to the real thing when combined with "her" passion.

For that reason, the counterfeits cannot be ignored. While he doesn't know who the counterfeits' Master is, he knows "her" feelings are real. Da Vinci then licks a counterfeit Mona Lisa, ascertaining from the paint's taste that their next stop is the beach.

After the Archer explain their respective role and Siegfried's, Arjuna offers not to attack if the group withdraws. But Ritsuka convinces her otherwise, and the group fights Arash and Arjuna.

Inside the Louvre, the group encounters counterfeit Gilles de Rais. Jeanne Alter kicks Brynhildr away, only for her to crawl back. Accepting she is a counterfeit of Jeanne, Jeanne Alter exclaims her desire to surpass the original as Da Vinci speculated. She reveals her Servant class is Avenger. EMIYA tells her the fact that most of her followers are handsome means she has a subconscious desire to be the protagonist.

Jeanne Alter denies and fights the group with Brynhildr. However, Jeanne Alter fights the group because they defeated her counterfeits. Da Vinci believes Jeanne Alter needs to do this to not hold a grudge against Ritsuka. After Jeanne Alter is defeated, the group retrieves a fragment of the Grail she possessed. Nero and Tamao agrees his crafty nature is why he's kept his position as Ritsuka's tutor.

EMIYA doesn't know what they're talking about, saying he's making up fro the lack of morals and education in other Servants. They all then hear Mash over the intercom announcing Chaldea will receive their regular report from Seraphix. Tamamo gets an ominous feeling from the name Seraphix, but she nonetheless agrees to accompany Ritsuka there.

Everyone then goes to the command room. Chaldea attempts to contact the facility, but they receive no audio or visual, despite both feeds being active. They receive an SOS message sent by a staff member with BB's help , saying everyone is being digitized. The connection with Seraphix is then abruptly cut, so Leonardo da Vinci authorizes the use of Sheba to observe Seraphix.

However, Seraphix seemingly no longer exists, with no signs of a Singularity. Chaldea soon receives a video message from BB.

She reveals Seraphix no longer exists in the current time period, and tells Chaldea to check the Mariana Trench in A. The staff confirm Seraphix's location, revealing its currently meters below the surface along with the existence of a Singularity.

BB tells Chaldea to save Seraphix's staff before the oil rig sinks down to 10, meters while also dealing with the Singularity manifesting there. Da Vinci explains rayshifting to the future is impossible, but quickly realizes BB can verify Ritsuka and others' existence since is BB's present. BB warns Seraphix will reach the bottom of the trench in a few hours, at which point it'll be destroyed by the water pressure.

However BB supposedly hacks the rayshift to separate the group to random locations in the facility in truth, it was Kiara who was responsible for the separation.

They're eventually freed from her influence by Ritsuka. He states he wants nothing whatsover to do with him. He dismisses EMIYA Alter looking badass as something anyone could do if they had two guns, which he admits he also wants.

After telling Ritsuka to control their Servants with their Command Spells, he goes to explain the different attributes of the Heroic Spirits. However, his lesson is interrupted by the appearance of monsters, which the group are soon able to defeat. Afterwards, EMIYA goes on to explain the differences between different Servant classes, but he interrupted once again by monsters. After killing the monsters, he tells Ritsuka that Masters and Servants should work together on equal terms. EMIYA then says that they should return to Chaldea, realizing that Ritsuka didn't need his lectures since they already have wonderful Servant with them like Mash.

He tells Ritsuka that they have a long journey ahead of them, and that they'll learn better through experience, not words. He continues to tell Ritsuka to go at their own pace, but he soon asked by Mash why he's being nice to both of them. EMIYA answers that he wants others known that his Masters succeed, saying that a true Servant increase their reputation by helping their Master grow.

He then tells Ritsuka that he purposely seal away his Noble Phantasm until they were strong enough as a Master, not wanting Ritsuka to rely too much on Noble Phantasms. After he tells Ritsuka to defeat the Servant that guards the Greater Grail as proof of their growth, Mash realizes that he is talking about Heracles , but monster appear to attack the group.

After killing the monsters, the group encounters the corrupted Hercales, and proceed to him after EMIYA warns of his multiple lives. Archer makes a regular appearance in Carnival Phantasm. However, he acts more light-hearted and comical than his usual self. In episode 5, Archer is shown to have a weakness against Boomelancer , a Noble Phantasm of Berserker that involves throwing Lancer at Archer, sending the latter flying into the distance.

Archer makes his debut in the series during the second half of the show, though his face becomes obscured or partially shown when the episode centers around Shirou.

Archer first appears in Episode 7, interrupting a volleyball match between Rider and Rin vs Shirou and Saber. He and Lancer choose to play against Shirou and Saber, easily overwhelming the pair by taking the game to its logical extreme.

Archer also makes a rather obvious attempt to kill Shirou during the match, but misses each time. Archer appears briefly in Episode 8, after Shirou's tendency to clean dust in the Tohsaka mansion reminds Rin of him.

Archer is the central character of Episode He is asked by Rin to wait for her and Sakura at the park at 12 o'clock so he could carry their shopping bags, but Lancer unexpectedly shows up and talks Archer into becoming a cook for the cafe Lancer is working at. Archer ends up serving food for Caster, Kuzuki and Saber.

Afterwards, Archer discovers he has missed the deadline but was already caught cooking by Rin, who praises Archer for his work. Archer appears in three chapters of the manga series All Around Type-Moon , mainly as a customer of Ahnenerbe.

In chapter four, he is talked into sewing an apron for Neko-Arc by Lancer. In another chapter, he tries and fails to teach Rin how to use a laptop, which she somehow uses to conjure Servants directly from the Moon Cell. He appears at the end of another chapter and has a very brief encounter with Kiritsugu Emiya , who merely walks by him much to his surprise.

Although his existence has been established as a knight of the bow , in his lifetime he was a magus , not a bowman. His standard weapon being a bow appears to not due to his own strength as a Heroic Spirit amounting to that much, but as a result of his combat style eventually settling down with sniping from afar.

So he is deemed as a heroic spirit that's unconventionally strong. This is mainly due to the fact that Archer can compensate for his weaknesses by refining what little talents he has.

Never focusing on trying to strengthen what he's weak at but rather by advancing his best abilities to their absolute limit. Nevertheless, the basic abilities of the Archer Class usually tend to be low, so they instead compensate with their Skills and Noble Phantasms.

Being from the future, he does not have any blessings provided by fame. This makes him a confusing existence for the other Servants, displaying his projection that turns normally important Noble Phantasms into items that can be discarded and destroyed on a whim, varied abilities that would normally mark the identity of a Servant, and contradictory abilities that do not match any known hero.

This Bounded Field can copy weapons that are seen only once, and store them within. Most of these objects are Noble Phantasms of Heroic Spirits copied through Projection Magecraft , each possessing deadly powers.

By the time he participates in the Fifth Holy Grail War , the weapons stored had exceeded thousands. Due to lacking an actual Noble Phantasm , Archer's basic abilities are below those of other Servants. His main strength lies within his versatility and adaptability, shown through his exceptional use of tactics and battle experience making his combat style very distinct from those of other Servants. He had nothing at first, and through improving himself for reason that he was not extraordinary, his techniques trained by his will alone reached the point where it is obvious to Shirou that he should be naturally considered strong.

He is not fixated on the exact method of winning, opening many possibilities not available to those who fight with chivalry and codes of honor. He wears a cloak and mantle set that are first rate Conceptual Weapons made from the Holy Shroud of a saint. It does not oppose enemies, but instead the external environment. Caster believed he wouldn't be able to scratch her within her own domain.

But he quickly proved her wrong as he used two attacks capable of killing her, one of which he warned her to dodge. While in a fair fight with True Assassin he nearly killed him having almost sliced his body in half. Which he did all the while protecting Illya and Shirou.

He deflected every one of True Assassin's attacks even the ones aimed at Shirou and was able to match True Assassin's speed with ease. Though he is of the Archer class, which originally focuses on long range combat, he is highly accomplished in melee combat with swordplay and due to his wish to conceal his trump card , he mainly focuses on melee tactics, primarily utilizing Kanshou and Bakuya when engaging other Servants.

Though he can fight with a single blade, he generally wields them both at once. The advantage of projection allows for him to replace swords if they are destroyed or if he is disarmed. He has no trouble projecting twenty-eight pairs during a strenuous clash consisting of over a hundred strikes and constantly being disarmed. However, Assassin is an oddity that fights under different battle conditions from the other Servants. While many Servants are offensive, Assassin is defensive.

At a Servant-killing battlefield like Ryuudou Temple and with Medea 's anti-sorcery defensive barrier, sorcery and Noble Phantasm power is decreased significantly. As a result, unless he uses a powerful Noble Phantasm, Sasaki won't take a fatal wound, which will reduce the battle between the two to the difference in their levels of swordsmanship.

With Archer having his sniping sealed off to him due to the terrain effect, Archer would be at a clear disadvantage. Although Illya believes that there should only be one or two Servants able to match Heracles , the most famous of all the Heroic Spirits, EMIYA was able to equally match him, and succeeded in killing him 6 times in a row.

Each time, using a different method to deliver another fatal blow. Heracles also deemed him a rare great enemy, and wished to have been summoned as a regular servant, to match sword techniques with Archer to his hearts content. In order for Heracles to have fully recovered after that fight, he would have needed to rest for three days.

A method of assault that involves multiple projected pairs in succession to completely seal the opponent, a stance that guarantees a sure kill. It is a completely original weapon, a projection whose structure and composition is not directly taken from another hero's bow. He often uses regular arrows for quick and accurate attacks that cost less magical energy than Noble Phantasms. Their accuracy is spot-on, and their power is still great enough to bring down houses with a small barrage released in quick succession.

Releasing over a dozen arrows at once, they are accurately fired at the opponent whether as a sneak attack or support for another. He is capable of performing Broken Phantasm shots from various distances, from hundreds of meters away up to four kilometers away from the target. The compatibility between Medusa and him isn't very good, and if the two were to fight, they'd definitely both choose a low-risk and high-return type of warfare.

Due to EMIYA surpassing Medusa in skill, at medium range, his bow would give him a great advantage, however, her Mystic Eyes would be able to petrify it, rendering it useless. At long range his fire won't work against Bellerophon, and even if he projects a Saber -class holy sword, he doesn't have enough magical energy to draw on to maximize it, so it'd be hard to for him to stop Bellerophon.

What determines the outcome of the fight is whether Rho Aias on its own is able block Bellerophon and buy him enough time to pull out Harpe and maybe have a chance at victory. Archer on the other hand, would fight using a strategy of victory. The highlight wouldn't just be their different battle styles, but the difference between their personalities. Even one definite hit from sniping or one blast of her Holy Sword would be enough to determine the outcome of their fight.

As such, who would have the upper hand between the two might really depend on the wit of their Masters rather than their own. Even though his shots can reach speeds of Mach 10, Saber deflected it without problem. However, EMIYA can shoot multiple times in a row, adding more magical energy to charge the shot each time. The second shot has a charging interval of twenty seconds, and the time increases after he places more power into it.

Shirou estimates that by the fifth shot, her knees would give in, and that the sixth would prove fatal. Although they could put up a fight with her Noble Phantasm, it would endanger the surrounding buildings. Therefore, they would need to close the gap between them in the interval it takes him to charge his next shot.

Doing so with Saber's insufficient amount of mana at the time should normally be impossible, however, Shirou was able to temporarily strengthen her with his last Command Spell , whose magical energy is great enough to fill even Saber's enormous circuit allowing for the legendary King of Knights to be reborn.

Shirou commanding her to fly fills her with energy and allows her to directly fly towards Archer on top of a building four kilometers away. Using all of the energy of the Command Spell on the one action allows her to increase the distance she can jump, effectively reducing the distance to zero in an instant.

She is able to match the speed of Hrunting, allowing her to kill Archer in the same instant it reaches Shirou. This Archer continuously wears a smile on his face, even as his body slowly disintegrates into nothing. Like the anime version that appeared in First Order , this Archer primarily uses a bow.

He stubbornly trained himself after the Holy Grail War, and pursued the dream of becoming a superhero. However, he soon fell into despair as he realised that his own power was insufficient to save mankind. Tactics Since Emiya is a Heroic Spirit from the future, he does not have any blessings provided by fame.

In addition, he does not have Noble Phantasms, as a result his basic abilities are below other Servants. However, his exceptional use of tactics and battle experience makes his combat style very distinct from other Servants. The Archer class originally focuses on long range combat, but Emiya loves melee combat and wishes to conceal his trump card, thus he focuses on melee tactics with Kansho and Bakuya when engaging other Servants. This Boundary Field can copy weapons that are seen only once, and store them within.

In the Fifth Holy Grail War, the weapons stored had exceeded thousands. On impact, the magical force will explode, generating overwhelming destructive power. By assaulting melee Servants with this type of long range attack, Emiya is able to turn the odds to his favour. Its rank is D, in other words, spells more than one bar will annul this resistance. The benefit it provides is equivalent to an anti-magic amulet. This level of resistance can be easily overcome by a relatively strong magus.

The level of Magic Resistance is a result of this. For Emiya who possesses low Magic Resistance, it is easy to picture the kind of effects great sorceries and ritual spells can have on him. Even spells greater than two steps can be lethal to him if hit. Because of this, Emiya is at a disadvantage against Caster, who has powerful sorceries at her disposal.

Depending on the situation, Emiya may even have to pay attention to the attack of Masters who are magi. Independent Action: B Normally if a Servant loses his Master, he will disappear within hours if he cannot replenish the mana required to remain in this world. Archer is actually the future version of Emiya Shirou, who became a hero through Emiya's wish to save innocent lives.

Archer is skilled in archery through Shirou's own talent in the field, swordsmanship through training his body for his optimal fighting style, as well as some skill in magic through Shirou's training. Archer became a Counter Guardian when he prayed to the world for a miracle saving about people.

He was then scapegoated by one of the people he saved, and executed. Initially fighting for his ideals, Archer is eventually forced to realize the truth that everyone cannot be saved, and proceeds to make the minimal sacrifices for the greatest amount of people saved. Feeling betrayed by the world, Archer prays that he is summoned in the Holy Grail War so that he can correct his mistake through a paradox and kill Shirou to stop him from becoming a Counter Guardian. It may be a fantastical show, but the Servants a.
