Because this isn't just Archers theme, but mainly Shirou's. Even HF Shirou still wants to save people, but he just shifted his main focus. Tbh even Archer himself will help to people whenever he can. He's just a big tsundere in this regard
Apolo Abel he is only affected by A rank or higher attacks and them becomes immune Heavens feel Spoiler below (Is this far enough) Archer never went all out he could kill herc easily because he can copy a noble phantasm shirou did it with archers arm in heavens feel he copied herc’s axe and used nine lives bladeworks (he took out 9 lives in one attack) which nine lives is a ability strongest with bow it shoots 100 arrows simultaneously on a bow but with anything else it attacks all 9 weak points simultaneously herc used nine lives to kill the 100 headed hydra in his legend
@@dhanlouisev.cordova9955 Not grammatically correct in this instance. This guy: "He does look like Shirou!" Me: "Always has been." See? This is present tense not past tense. If it was past tense I would have said "always has been."
*"Emiya Shirou!"* *"Understand. You're a maker, not a fighter."* *"Do not think about other things. There is only one thing you can do. So master thing one thing."* *"---Do not forget. What you must imagine is you yourself are the strongest. You do not need outside enemies. For you, the one you have to fight is none other than your own image."*
It's 2017 and this remains to be seen as the most godly version of EMIYA. EMIYA 2015 was absolutely beautiful and sobering, but that was about UBW Shirou. *This* song really is for Archer: an utterly determined and unyielding gar machine. The synth and tribal percussion and monks really accentuate Archer's age and experience, while the piano and string accompaniment resound his sorrow and resolve. Best OST to the best fight of DEEN 2006.
Jack Daniels emiya was originally created for shirou. Since archer and shirou are the same person, it resumes the same the role. but at the end of the day emiya was not created for EMIYA it was created for emiya shirou. and honestly that one was more epic and fit shirou so well. better overall than this one, while I do love it ubw emiya was better for multiple reasosn
Besides the fact Muramasa can't even utilize a true UBW, he's not even the real EMIYA,just a pseudoservant (and don't even get me started on how I hate those).
I am the other poster boy of fate Rin is my master and saber is my enemy Have been featured in many yaoi doujins Unknown to me nor known to lancer Have withstood pain to create many weapons Yet I didn't use them with my final battle against berserker So As I question Why didn't rin use her last command spell
@@youraveragemachine1013 well if he used nine lives then he would have won and we would not have gotten that mana transfer scene, archer being a wingman to his past self. (Jk)
@@MrInuhanyou123 do you live in fate vids comment sections? no, really I see you everywhere, and I'm kinda intrigued. Is this what you do in your spare time?
@@nomanhand is your screename a reference to cowboy bebop? If it is great taste. Its been 20 years since i first saw it and its still objectively one of the greatest anime of all time
@@MrInuhanyou123 yes it is, Cowboy Bebop has a special place in my heart as it made me appreciate anime as a medium of superb and diverse storytelling.
"You never did have any mercy did you, Ilya?" "I-Ilya...?" "My defeat may be inevitable, but you'll still have to work for it, Beserker. You can go easy on me if you want. But in the meantime... I'm gonna take two more of your lives!" - Fate/Stay Night - Deen adaption English dub. Liam O-Brien as Archer.
"As you can see, what you are facing is an unlimited number of blades. The finest of blades. Throw your fears away and take me on!" Say what you will about F/SN, but not only did it give us EMIYA and Overedge, it gave us one of the best 'Last Stand' moments in anime.
@@ChaosMissile im assuming hes talking about this specific version.. but maybe not? Many people still think disillusion from dsn is the original song and not this illusion the original vn op...well theres been too many op changes with the rereleases anyways
This one definitely works as being specifically Archer's rendition of EMIYA. Kinda in the same way Time Alter works as Kiritsugu's rendition, its not a necessarily hopeful but its heroic all the same.
@@opposedscroll7596 That's interesting. I'll always see the "KOTOMINE KIREI!" scene from the Fate route as the "EMIYA" scene from the VN. As someone who had only seen the Unlimited Blade Works anime when reading the Fate route in the VN, that scene felt so much more impactful just because it had EMIYA playing in the background.
Emiya themes: Original, Archer theme: Represents archer, never wavering, never faltering, a body made of blades. A hero of justice. Fate route: Closest to Archer's theme, because this Shirou is the one that is closest to becoming Archer. He has only one purpose and that is to reach Saber, by continuing to be a sword that serves justice. UBW route: Triumphant, Shirou's ideals have won. He got his crush, he won the war, Saber is still around, this is Shirou as a Hero. A sword that saves others. Heaven's feel route/Why I fight: The Shirou that feels the most "human", the one who threw away all his ideals to protect those dear to him. A person, who wants to live, and protect those dear to him. EDIT: I haven't actually seen or read the fate route yet, I tried to watch it, but I wanted to die, so I didn't. I need to read the visual novel. But from what I''d heard of the route, Fate route shirou was the closest one to becoming Archer. Guess I was wrong though if people in the comments are right. EDIT EDIT: Ok, I've read the fate route now, and I can with complete confidence say that Fate Shirou is the closest to becoming Archer. UBW Shirou, while being the closest to Archer at the end of the route, is the "perfected" version of himself. He has acknowledged that he is inhuman and fully embraces that fact. Tohsaka and Saber are pretty much the only things keeping him from fully becoming Archer, but there is a very low possibilty of him becoming Archer. HF Shirou can't become Archer, for obvious reasons, while Fate Shirou is the closest to following the route that Archer took. He has to forever seek out Saber, and as he has not fully embraced that inhuman side of him, there is a distinct possibility of him failing and becoming Archer. The very thing that Fate Shirou needs, is also the very thing that could destroy him. EDIT EDIT EDIT: I realized I was unclear in my last edit so I'm here to fix that. The reason why UBW Shirou isn't going to become Archer is because he has fully embraced the idea of being a sword. He only really listens to rin and saber because they residentially essentially wield him. He is no longer human. Archer still had that humanity in him which is why he is so bitter and tries to kill Shirou
You know, I always found Fate Shirou to be the most incompatible with Archer. With UBW Shirou, he still has those same 'for everyone' goals and the same lack of a selfish goal, just an understanding of what that means. With Heaven's Feel Shirou, he's completely abandoned his ideals for the sake of a single person. Those Archer can understand and respect. But Fate Shirou? The guy who never knew who Archer was? The guy who lived a life like a copy of his own? Stood by his ideals blind to the suffering ahead? Yet never failing because he had a goal beyond that? All without his intervention? I can only imagine Archer being completely baffled by him. Which in a way makes sense. That version of Shirou would be independent of Archer, any of the deeds he would accomplish would be without siphoning knowledge and skill from Archer or from taking Archer's power. Unlimited Blade Works would be his enetirely. ...Yeah I think Fate Shirou is the best, how could you tell?
@@KnightofChaosDeck I mean that is emblematic of the theme of fate route itself and why I really love it. Arturia and shirou are healed by each other of their past traumas and move forward with pride. The route itself isn't about the ideal being good or bad but about recognizing your own values as a person through others, who like you, live though the happiness of others. Fate shirou moves beyond the trauma of the fire and does have to reckon with the realities of life later on(in a way archer shirou was largely blind to until he became a counter guardian) but as you said, has the strength to reckon with that. In the same way arturia gains the strength to recognize her own life with pride and accept her fate. It's a beautiful story that is seriously slept on and I think just as much thematically and character rich as the other two routes if not moreso
@@MrInuhanyou123 True. Unlike say, UBW Shirou, Fate Shirou doesn't have the luxury of knowing what will happen. He's all on his own in his journey in terms of having assistance from Archer. But again, he doesn't NEED that. Because unlike all the other iterations (including to some extent Oath Under Snow), he doesn't lack humanity in his chase for his ideal. He does so not out of ignorance, nor defiance, nor surrenders for another nor discards his ideals- he holds them as his connection to Saber. He has a human strength behind his ideal now. I do wish more people would give teh Fate Route a chance.
After listening to countless other Emiya remixes and remakes, like Illya's and Kiritsugu's version, this still sounds the most incredible. You can pit it against the biggest of the best like Time Alter, Emiya Crow's Claw, Emiya Realta Nua and UBW Extended yet this version would still be in a league of its own. It has aged well.
A través de la acción: Un hombre se convierte en héroe. A través de la muerte: Un héroe se convierte en una leyenda. A través del tiempo: Una leyenda se convierte en mito. Y aprendiendo del mito, un hombre toma acción. Through Action: A Man becomes a hero. Through Death: A Hero becomes a legend Through Time: A Legend becomes a myth. And by learning from the myth, a man tales Action.
@@eizneckam4936 That's only because the Kenji Kawai version was first used for Archer. But in the VN EMIYA was never used for Archer, as weird as that is. EMIYA always played for Shirou's battles.
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!
"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'."
I think it's because this version carries a degree of sadness with it. UBW was the only thing Archer had to show for all the sacrifices he made in life, and when does this song play? When he's again sacrificing himself. On the other hand, Shirou's "Emiya" versions carry a degree of hope and vigor in them because he hasn't been hardened by life to anywhere near the same level.
I am the bone of my sword. Steel is my body, and fire is my blood. I have created over a thousand blades. Unaware of beginning, Nor aware of the end. Withstood pain with inconsistent weapons, my hands will never hold anything. Yet, my flame never ends. My whole body was still Unlimited Blade Works Alternatively My body is made out of swords. My blood is of iron and my heart of glass. I have overcome countless battlefields. Not even once retreating, Not even once being victorious. The orphan is alone again, striking diamond dust on a hill of swords. But this life is not yet over. This false body was still made of swords. I wonder how many people will know where this version is from
I am the flesh and bone of my own sword Steel is my body And fire is what courses through my blood Unknown to death Nor known to life Many times I have withstood enormous pain to create thousands of weapons Yet those hands that have braved so much will never hold anything So, as I pray, I call forth Unlimited Blade Works
I am the bone of my sword Steel is my mind and glass is my heart I shall create over a thousand blades Unaware of others Nor aware of myself I stand alone on my hill of blades, striving for utopia Yet that dream remains everdistant My fate lies with unlimited blade works!

I am the bone of my sword steel is my blood and glass is my heart i have created over a thousand blades unaware of defeat nor aware of history have withstood pain to create many weapons i have no regrets,my life needs no meaning my whole body is unlimited blade works
I despise ufotable’s disgusting adaptation of the Heaven’s Feel route, and hopefully they never get their hands on Fate...Won’t blame them for UBW though, that route was garbage to begin with.
(EN, JP, KR.

I remember this music first played when Archer vs Berserker he broke the lights off and started ‘Have withstood pain to create many weapons’ that scene excited me a lot.
A heroic sprite that can't be summoned, a hero without a legend, but a force of nature, a counter guardian, the strongest of them all, Shirou Fucking Emiya
I am the bone of my sword. Steel is my body and fire is my blood Unknown to death nor known to life I have created over a thousand blades Yet these hands will never hold anything So as i pray now i call forth. UNLIMITED BLADE WORKS!!!!!
An aria for an Incarnation of Weapon. Counter Guardian: I am the spark of battle. Steel is my will and my heart is a flame. I have mastered countless weapons. Never surpassing hope. Just beyond despair. From broken dreams drowned in fire and blood. Forever I stand alone on the hill of endless regrets. I have only one path to go forward. So hear this desperate cry of Unlimited War Works. Pure version: I am the spark of battle. Steel is my will and my heart is a flame. I have mastered countless weapons. Unknown to truth, Nor known to myth. Through pain and trial, I bring power to legend Yet I stand on the hill forging for perfection. There are no regrets. I seek the ultimate victory. My soul is Unlimited War Works.

"My body is made of swords, Iron is my blood, an glass is my heart. I have overcome countless battlefields undefeated, Without once retreating, Nor once being understood. Always alone, intoxicated with victory on the hill of swords. Therefore, there is no meaning to that life. This body is probably itself a sword."

Seriously? Couldn't think of anything better to do with this music? Like playing an RPG and turning off the in-game music? Or slaughtering your enemies? Haha.
Shiro Alex Of course. Music = Vibration. Vibration = Thought. Thought = Power, change, even over matter. Out of the 400 files in my mp3 player, 80% of them are heroic themes of one sort or another. Including this one.
Just listening to either this version of the one from the most recent anime is enough to make one feel awesome. And actually, I don't have a preference between one or the other. I love 'em both.
