Archer/Shirou/Emiya (Fate Stay Night: UBW) || I'll try to be the HERO OF JUSTICE... 

"Make sure to put on your own oxigen mask before helping others with theirs." Pretty fitting for Counter Guardian EMIYA I think. He spend both his life and afterlife saving others, but no one ever saved him.

I love almost everything about Shirou's character, The Twist that he's Archer adds even more to it and unlimited blade Works tackles both of their views and ideals beautifully well

Life isn’t fair. It doesn’t matter if you are the strongest, the fastest, or the smartest or even the bravest. Even if you want to win or even NEED to win, life doesn’t care. It will drop you onto your knees and keep you there. There’s no shame in falling. But the real shame? It’s not getting right back up when you fall. You can fight and try as hard as you can but life will always find a way to beat you down. One way, or another. Nothing is really free in this world. The lessons you learn will always come with a price and sometimes, even heartache. But, if you can make it past those lessons, and stand on your own two legs, then you’ll gain something. A heart that will not waver. A heart as mighty as fire. That fire inside you that has been forged in constant struggle, and heartache and loss? It’ll be the brightest fire in all the world. So, are you ready? Are you ready to stand up and fight? Life won’t be waiting for you to be ready but, if you can stand up here and now, you’ll definitely be waiting for life to be ready for you.

Shirou is such a compelling character to me. His way of thinking, rise, downfall and eventual rise again makes him very interesting. I know it's a trope of "the hero never gives up" but I don't see it as a trope because Shirou doesn't give up because the plot demand it. He fights on out of sheer stubbornness and will. It's very inspiring to witness

his body was built of blades his body was made of steel and his blood kept boiling like fire he fought many battles he had no awareness of loss nor he had awareness of gain he withstood pain to create many weapons but he got his answear,he has no regrets his body was truly made of swords

Food for thought: the actor for shirou in the English dub in ubw is the same one for kirito in sao, same as the voice actors for the abridged versions of both shows

I will not shocked if alaya plays it's part on emiya shirou survival on that fuyuki fire after all EMIYA is one of the best counter guardian that will of humanity have ever aquired

I love the character of Shirou. And Archer. Their tale in UBW was incredibly well written. And this video is entirely made of awesome. I was much like Shirou in my younger days. I wanted to not only be a hero, but I wanted an outcome where everyone was happy and shared that happiness with others. As I grew in years, I came to realize that being a hero to one person, or group of people, meant being a villain to another. And sometimes, the people who at first seem like victims are deserving of the treatment they recieve at the hands of others. And then there's human nature. Alas. But nevertheless, this video is incredible. Full of feeling and set to a great piece of music. Watching it kind of rekindled that old childish desire to want to be a good guy and do what I can to help others. Thanks for a great piece of work that actually managed to inspire feelings that I haven't felt in ages and frankly, thought had been killed completely by the harsh realities of life and human interaction. 😊

I remember I wanted to be a hero when I was little, but then reality faced me.

Well done. I love Unlimited Blade Works because it centers itself around the ideals that everyone is fighting for. The fight scenes are amazing but more than that, there's substance to each fight. Again, great video.

Your dream's stupid, Shirou - Archer Abridged 😂

Shirou Dream is not a mistake

"Don't lose it again, it doesn't suit anyone but you" At that moment I thought for the first time that he was Shirou. The stutter itself almost solidified it in my brain. Even after death, long after he had been exploited as a guardian, executed for starting a war he in fact ended and having killed so many he actually stopped caring, he still, deep down in his heart, he loved Rin a lot. I don't strive to be a man like him but when it comes to his love for Rin, it's truly admirable and that's the kind of love I want to show my girlfriend (once I hopefully get one lol😅). That obviously doesn't mean Shirou/Archer is not an admirable person, it's just that I don't want to duplicate his ideals, only his love for his girl to a degree

This is getting liked just for the fact that this is an ASMV in *English* Also this was awesome because it was told through Archer's point of view instead of Shirou's making it even more impactful.

Shirou my boi u got so much character development, something that makes human to strive for until it breaks them wherever they know it or not, if u think about it reality really hits hard when you find out the true nature of the system, there’s many things that can brought to be disgust but also there are beautiful things in this world that are worth being alive for.

Man, I teared up so many times. God I really want to know more about Emiya and his past. Well done my man. Well done

Love UBW Shirou and his character; trying to do what you think it is right knowing you will never be rewarded for it is truly admirable. What episode was that first bit, when Shirou talks about what he remembers about the fire?

gotta say this is so full of feelings, and deserve to get well known

This deserves 1m views.

So many things I can say about my favorite anime characters of all time, but I'll focus on just one aspect today: doing what you believe to be right. At the end of the day, all we can do is what we believe to be right. Guess what? We might be wrong with some of our actions. Maybe we do something that we thought would make everything perfect, but when we mess up, it makes us seem like a fraud, or a hypocrite. So we can either let the mistakes we made turn us into the hypocrite we looked like, OR, we can look at those mistakes, realize how to not make them again, and then use this knowledge to allow us to get back onto a path with our ideals. It is not easy, and we will fail countless times. Even if it is a life dripping with hypocrisy, even if we fail to reach our ideals 1000 times, all that matters is what we do the 1001st time. If we do that, then we can truly say our dreams are not a mistake. That, is how we can be like Shirou Emiya

Honestly emiya is one of the sadest characters... and he shows so well why the world is justa garbage ass f place to live in... and the persons on it are nothing better... yet young emiya is right and everybody should think like that... i can relate to both of their pain to SOME degre... ofc I wasn’t killed but sure as hell have been backstabbed more times than i start to even remember

“It was hot and I couldn’t breathe and I was trying to save someone but that someone ended up dying after all" Who is that SOMEONE?

“It was such a man once”……

this deserves so much more veiws

why am i repeating this video watching it over and over again

I was a hero. I saved everyone for I’m Parrthurnax the dragon of old.Whose to say it was just in my head? I truly believed it.

Watched multiple times because this is beautiful

It’s beautiful it reminds of when I was a kid so much

Bryce can do Shirou... but only when he actually cares. Most of the time, his Shirou is just bored Kirito.

I’m still a little confused. What made Archer not wanting to kill Shirou? What did he realise that allowed him to believe in his ideals again after his fight with Shirou?

I just realised how similar Shirou sounds like Meliodas.

I've always wanted to be a hero and thanks to shirou I know I want to be a hero of justice and join the US marines saving 1,000s of lives even if it means killing some I don't know if I'll be happy or not but I want to try.. I've got too!!

guys whoever watching this video do you think that artemis or atlanta will be impressed with emiya or shirou archer skill?? 😕😕

I just finshed the last fate route and then saw this video and it made me cry😭perfect video

Great Vídeo!Of Two Diferent People But Same Soul.

Even My life will be a like a machine Yeah! I not gonna become hero of justice I absolutely will become one Yes! That [ The Hero of Justice ]

How have I not found this yet?

Is this really the original dub....? Damn iam speechless if it really is...the music and voice acting is so good ...

I need more asmv's like this one

Truly an amazing story

I actually got goosebumps lol

In the end of this I just realized that archer title is Guardian of humanity while emiya shirou title only hero of justice.

Imagine being a random Anime fan like: “I like Archer, but this Orange haired guy, I’m not too sure about him” After this ASMV: “Wait! They’re the same person?!” 😂 (I know they’re technically not really, I just thought it’d be funny)

Become your own Hero of Justice! #DarkKnight

This is the only Fate series I like. FGO just isn't that good imo.

Gary Sue: Shirou Emiya Character Development: Nonexistent. Shirou is a completely one dimensional character All you really need to know about him is that he wants to be a hero and protect others. That's basically his entire character. He comes from the series Fate Stay Night, the sequel to Fate Zero and boy was Fate Stay Night a disappointment. Inherently there is nothing wrong with having your character being a hero but that is only if it is done right. Power Ups: Can beat any enemy through the power of love and friendship. In the author's own words, [v] Fate/Zero material - Encyclopedia: Gilgamesh [Servant], p.094 EnglishJapanese Gilgamesh [Servant] The Archer class Servant of the Fourth Holy Grail War. Though he was summoned by Tohsaka Tokiomi, he ended up deserting his master and re-contracting with Kotomine Kirei. He is the strongest character in both Fate/stay night and Fate/Zero. In the boy-meets-girl story of the original Fate/stay night he was forced to yield to the universal law of "love conquers all", but in Fate/Zero he's free to show off his overwhelming, cheat-like strength without restraint. No seriously. There is no justification for the power of bullshit this guy gets. He beats freaking Gilgamesh through the power of bullshit. Let take these three much better characters for instance. Kiritsugu Emiya Character Development: "I was reckless when I was young. I educated myself by cursing the heartlessness of the world. The world was cruel - so I made myself more heartless and used that as a weapon, trying to follow through on my ideals." - Kiritsugu Emiya One of my favorite character. He is man who is jaded by his experiences. He originally wanted to be hero, a trait passed onto his son Shirou. But he was soon learned how horrible reality was as he saw his home, family and crush destroyed. He transforms from a happy go lucky child to burnt cinnamon bun who is a deadly assassin. "They call certain methods of fighting good and others evil, acting as if there were some nobility to the battlefield. Such illusions, perpetrated by heroes throughout history, have led countless young men to their bloody deaths, all for the sake of this valor and glory." - Kiritsugu Emiya He is willing to use any underhanded means to win. However he does still show signs of humanity. For example several times over he shows he is willing to give up the war and take Irisviel back home to their daughter so he doesn't risk losing his family. This is someone who is constantly scared and terrified behind a mask of calmness to hide his fears. "Our Heroic Spirit here thinks the battlefield is something better than hell. What a joke. It's hell itself. There's no hope on the battlefield. It has nothing but unspeakable despair. Just a crime we call victory, paid for by the pain of the defeated. Yet humanity has never recognised this truth. And the reason for that is, in every era a dazzling hero has blinded people with their legends and prevented them from seeing the evil of bloodshed. The true nature of humanity has not advanced a step beyond the stone age." He has gone through a life of misery and despair. The same dark experience that made him who he was today. He is an incredible sympathetic character. He has seen the cruel reality of life and that has destroyed his innocent view of the world. He has become cynical and close minded in his views. That's what so great about Fate Zero. More than anything, It was a battle between ideals and different goals. You saw all these different character motivations and life stories that changed these amazing characters into who they are today. The philosophical debates between their points of view were just amazing and awe inspiring. Fate Stay Night can be summed up as the boy who got his own harem and beat the bad guy. That's it. That's literally the entire story. You are literally deluding yourself if you think there is anything deep about Fate Stay Night. I've watched it multiple times both anime and visual novel. It is an overglorified cheap harem anime. Kirito Character Development: After escaping Sword Art Online for the first time. Kirito is permanently scarred for life. This shows even in later series. He is constantly having nightmares about the ordeal, has survivor's guilt after seeing all the people who died and even gives up duel wielding except in emergencies. Shirou on other hand comes out of Holy Grail completely unscathed, same for Rin and the others. After what is described as survival of the fittest. His view on the world is completely the same, his personality is exactly the same, pretty much no one dies, no sacrifices were made, no development was made. Shirou remains the same one dimensional character he was before. Izuku Midoriya Character Development: Deku similar to Shirou, is someone who wanted to be a hero his entire life. A big difference however is how their mentor/older versions impacts their lives. To start off the Archer & Shirou relationship. Pointless. Archer is a servant in Fate Stay Night. But the whole future Shirou Emiya thing was completely pointless. Shirou does not change one bit from this and still defeats Archer anyway. Archer could have been literally anyone and the story would not have changed one single bit. Heck just make Archer a normal hero who comes from Russia with the power of tracing and the story would not have changed at all. Now then Deku & All Might. Deku idolises All might. Practically worships the ground he walks. Similar to Shirou. Deku is self destructive and reckless. His powers literally destroy his body from the inside out. But unlike Shirou, the biggest difference between them. Deku actually has *Character Development*. Obviously Deku can't just keep up his self-sacrificial tendencies. So after seeing how much this affects his mother and the people he cares about. He learns how selfish and reckless he was being. Only thinking of himself and his own goals. He learns to be less reckless and take better care of himself. He adapts his fighting style so there is less pressure on his arms and begins to focus on a more leg-based fighting style with help from Tenya Iida. UBW vs Gate of Babylon Gilgamesh stomps. Gilgamesh even when not serious was trolling Saber by casually defending against her attacks in Fate Stay Night. He also restricted Berserker easily with Enkidu. Several Fate Fans in forums have also called Shirou & Sieg mary sues. Because Shirou himself admits that any servant could take on UBW and win. But he apparently thinks he can beat Gilgamesh because sword spam = sword spam. If that was true most anime characters would easily beat Gilgamesh. But as Fate fans love to bring up Gilgamesh has several ships, armour , shields, haxed weapons that could easily defeat his opponents e.g. moving at the speed of light or thought. You can't have it both ways. Heaven's Feel Shirou sacrifices nothing. He doesn't give up his dream. Best case for Shirou, He simply chooses not to take the easy way out. That's it. He doesn't deserve an award just for that. At the end of the day, its still the same as any other route, He fights Kirei, or the other repetitive bad guy, saves the day and goes back to live with his family and friends. Illya dies, that's not exactly new after saving Shirou through a Deus ex machina. He is still fighting Angra Mainyu to save the world, he is still fighting Sakura to save the world. Besides Shirou acting Emo over nothing. Nothing changes. Depth of other routes Non existent. Fate Stay Night, defeat and save tsundere little sister, defeat the evil priest UBW, Fight Kuzuki, Saber gets kidnapped, Archer turns traitor, Gilgamesh kills Illya, Shirou beats Archer and this whole scene was pointless. Since Shirou doesn't change or do anything about his flaws, Shirou beats Gilgamesh through power of friendship, day is saved again. It's clear Fate fans are toxic manchildren who throw a tantrum at anyone who disagrees with them yet the toxic Fate fans have the nerve to bash other series and insult other fandoms.

This clears up somewhat what Shirou's goal is (kind of) but just seems.. Really cliche but with the reality twist. I had hoped we got more backstory on Archer as to why he was betrayed and how he died. I always found Shirou really predictable and boring in Stay Night since was basically a self insert in the vn.

I love these videos, because it reminds me why sub is far superior to dub

Hahahaha

Why are the sao voice actors in everything I hate the English dubs so much just because of the sao voice actors

This makes me SOOOO happy I don't watch dubs. Some of the quotes in this flat out contradict the VN and original Japanese... The voice actors didn't even try to match the emotion of the original, they just made up their own... And hearing Archer pronounce Tohsaka made me wince. This is decent, but... it's NOT an AMV. An AMV is an Anime Music Video. It uses clips from the anime to a music piece. I'd call this a fan-promo, and a rather good one at that.

It's really good but.. English dub really suck
