Memorable scenes from various anime and manga crossovers: Starting with Emiya the Great Hero

People from other worlds felt inexplicably saddened. The story of Heroic Spirit Emiya 29 is a tragic tale of a life filled with hardship... He always pursued his ideals, but never achieved them! He also experienced the cruelty of reality.

While still alive, in order to continue pursuing this goal after death, she signed a contract with the Counter Force without much thought, becoming a tool and constantly betraying her original intentions.

Step by step, they moved towards their dreams. In this endless journey, even the strongest man, as strong as steel, eventually grew weary and reached the end.

"Wang You, what do you think of this Heroic Spirit Emiya?" Merlin noticed the subtle change in Gilgamesh's expression and asked for his opinion.

Gilgamesh rested his chin on his hand and said in a calm tone, "He was just a naive brat... At the end of his life, he made a wish to become a hero to the world and gained power that ordinary people could not attain."

"He hurt some people, but also saved many. Finally, it was time for him to pay the price; he too was betrayed by his own ideals… But!"

At this point, the wise king Shan sat up slightly, and his voice suddenly became louder, "Although he is young, he is a hero!! His life is both meaningless and full of meaning."

So what if it's a dream that's out of reach?! He doesn't want to hold the stars in his hands; he just wants to chase after them.

"Is that so..." Merlin turned his gaze back to Archer on the screen. He had reached the end of his ideal path, so he intended to present it to Shirou Emiya, hoping to make him abandon his ideals...

Magical Girl Illya World

While Emiya understands Archer's thoughts, he disagrees with Archer's actions. "Although this wish is impossible... it is definitely not wrong! Even if it is impossible to achieve, the wish for everyone to be happy is not wrong."

"Since we're all versions of ourselves from parallel universes, you should understand, shouldn't you?!"

Even Emiya himself once lived with this ideal in mind. Perhaps if it weren't for Miyu, he would have followed the same path as you...

But there's nothing wrong with the wish itself. Even if it's hard to achieve, it's still the pursuit of a person named Emiya Shirou throughout his life!

After speaking, Archer looked back at Shirou Emiya, awaiting his answer. "So, Shirou Emiya... if you don't accept me, you can just commit suicide right here."

[Shirou Emiya, who had been silent all along, bent down and picked up the longsword from the ground, gently stroking the blade.]

"Shirou!" Saber was startled at the sight, somewhat afraid that Emiya Shirou might really be contemplating suicide.

After a long silence, Shirou Emiya raised his sword with both hands, looked at Archer, and asked, "Archer... do you regret it?"

"certainly!"】

Upon hearing the answer, Shirou Emiya also came to his own conclusion, throwing away his longsword. "Then we are different people."

[Shirou Emiya stared intently at Archer, his voice sharp: "No matter what happens, I will never regret it, so I will never agree with you. If you are my ideal, then I will personally destroy this flawed ideal."]

Since that's the case, Archer didn't want to waste any more words with him. He walked down the stairs towards Shirou Emiya, and Saber quickly stepped in front of him to block his path.

“It’s alright, Saber!” Shirou Emiya patted Saber on the shoulder and stepped forward. “Thank you, but please step aside.”

"Because...this is my battle...projection."

Red A also chanted in unison: "On!"

The two walked towards each other, their hands glowing with colored light, and identical swords, Gan Jiang and Mo Xie, appeared in their grasp simultaneously.

"After saying all that, Shirou Emiya still didn't listen... But that's precisely why he said the two of them aren't the same person!!"

Emiya Shirou's ideas were too idealistic. People from other worlds felt that Archer's ideas were indeed correct and the most efficient.

Emiya is a true hero because he is the ideal that a boy named Emiya Shirou pursued to the end. Even if he regrets things and takes detours, he is still a true hero.

Type-Moon Fate/Zero World

Whether Archer's words swayed Shirou Emiya is unknown, but Kiritsugu Emiya was certainly shaken. In a sense, Archer represented the end of his unrealistic ideals.

Mrs. Alice, however, became somewhat worried. "These two Emiyas are practically my children too. Why don't they talk things out instead of fighting..."

Moreover, you all know the same magic tricks, but Shirou Emiya's skills and proficiency are definitely not as good as Archer, who has been honed through countless trials in the future. Isn't this a sure way to lose?

Type-Moon Fifth World War

"Emiya-kun?!" Rin Tohsaka ran breathlessly to Shirou Emiya's house, afraid that she might do something rash at this moment, only to find Shirou Emiya sitting silently in the yard.

"Are you alright...?" Rin Tohsaka silently walked to Shirou Emiya's side.

Perhaps he himself understands better than anyone the pain of being seen as a hypocrite, and he also understands a certain aspect of the Heroic Spirit Emiya better than anyone else.

However, Rin Tohsaka perceived Shirou Emiya as incredibly kind, even once calling him a "good guy."

But it is precisely because of this that he can forget the pain of being hurt by seeing others happy. Perhaps this is why Shirou Emiya is both the one who understands Archer the most and the one who understands him the least.

"Tohsaka-san?! What brings you here..." Shirou Emiya was surprised to see the newcomer, then shook his head. "Thank you... I'm fine. I was just wondering why I have different thoughts about myself when we're both the same person?"

Then Shirou Emiya looked at the screen again, hoping to find the answer there.

"Bang—" Under Saber's witness, their swords clashed, the resulting air pressure blowing towards Saber... but she knew it was the clash of their beliefs.

[The battle was one-sided from the start. Shirou Emiya could only barely parry with his twin swords. As Archer pushed him back, he instantly circled in front of him and sent him flying with a single palm strike.]

However, instead of pressing their advantage, they adopted a fighting stance, waiting for Shirou Emiya to get back up.

"Damn it!!" Shirou Emiya ripped off his coat, a flash of green magic appearing within it, and his twin swords reappeared.

[But unsurprisingly, it was easily shattered by Archer in just a couple of moves. Archer calmly watched Shirou Emiya re-project his Noble Phantasm, "Do you think your projection is on the same level as mine...? Although you can ensure the imagined shape and material, without a theoretical framework, it's all bark and no bite."]

"Damn it!!" Shirou Emiya gritted his teeth and charged forward, only to be blocked by Archer with a single-handed sword strike, who then casually flung him away.

However, unlike before, this time Shirou Emiya seemed to have changed something after his clash with Archer; green magic circuits kept flashing around him.

"Rumble—"

[Shirou Emiya, who had been struggling to defend himself, actually managed to defeat Archer this time.]

[Red A looked at Shirou Emiya, "I see, you're quite tenacious! I've heard of people transferring their past lives into their bodies to learn their old techniques and magic."]

"It seems that your skills improve with each round you fight me."

[After a series of fights, Shirou Emiya, blood trickling from his forehead, was slightly out of breath. "Is that so?! Imitation and copying, we're all the same, aren't we... Keep showing off for now. I'll catch up to you in no time!!"]

"He's attacking himself, he can't break through the move... And, it feels more like the Education Bureau is teaching him how to use the projection!"

Everyone watched Red A's actions and could tell that he was deliberately holding back... If he wanted to win, those few slashes would have killed Emiya Shirou long ago.

It's more like he's being fed sparring moves now, as if Red A is passing on his skills to him, constantly pulling and tugging at him.

Type-Moon Fate/Zero World

"Perhaps the ideal is out of reach, but to drown in the embrace of the ideal, no matter the outcome, is at least to have lived a life that you can accept... That's what you think, right, Shirou Emiya!" Kiritsugu Emiya suddenly smiled. Perhaps his ideal could not be fulfilled, but others had no right to laugh at him.

Only those who carry out this ideal to the very end have the right to laugh at it. The fact that the Heroic Spirit Emiya could say that the end of an ideal is only regret proves that he persisted in this ideal to the very end.

Although Shirou Emiya acts like an idiot, it also makes him see his own current self, realizing that he is now an idiot as well.

The Seventh Singularity: Absolute Demonic Front

"This contest of beliefs is far more exciting than a simple battle." The Wise King was curious: if Shirou Emiya witnessed all of Emiya Emiya's experiences, would he still say he wouldn't regret it?

It's important to understand that different people have different experiences, and therefore make different choices... Contradicting his ideal of saving everyone, he can only choose to save a portion of the people.

It's truly delightful to wonder if he would still give the same answer after experiencing it firsthand... Emiya Shirou.

P.S.: I'll just put this broken bowl here for now...

I've already been secretly writing during work hours... Later, I'll probably connect the story of Black A with the story of Heaven's Feel!! Only then can we see how much resolve Shirou Emiya had to give up his ideals for Sakura.

Chapter 296 Three Different Reality Marbles! Three Choices by Shirou Emiya.

Hearing Shirou Emiya's somewhat presumptuous words, Archer's voice deepened: "Catch up with me?! What an absurd misunderstanding! As expected, you understand nothing."

"Misunderstand?!"】

Before Shirou Emiya could even process what was happening, Archer vanished in a flash, disappearing from his spot in an instant. By the time Shirou reacted, Archer was already standing right in front of him!

"Bang—!" With a burst of sparks, two identical swords clashed violently, producing a piercing sound.

"That means you don't have even the slightest chance of winning!!"

[Shirou Emiya could only grit his teeth and remain frozen in place, and then, amidst the clash of their swords, some strange images flashed through his mind...]

He saw, under a dark sky, Red A, cloaked, thrusting a longsword into a mound, but with each thrust, an image flashed before his eyes of death.

Even so, Red A continued to erect graveyards of swords on this desolate land... until the entire area was covered with the mounds of the Grand Master's swords!

Even Archer's body was riddled with swords, and at that moment, Shirou Emiya saw himself dead on the gallows!

"Is this...the ending? I will never pity them. I will never pity them!! I will never pity them!!!"

"But..." As the camera zoomed out, Shirou Emiya stood on the other side of the sword mound, looking at Archer, who stood alone amidst the desolation, his back surrounded by blades. He couldn't help but waver. "The thought of walking down this path next feels like a hole has been torn in my heart."

“Those things I trusted, those things you believed in, even if they are covered in lies! Even if they seem like a dream, I still…”

Back in reality, Shirou Emiya's sword began to crack and then broke. Having witnessed what had just happened, Shirou collapsed to the ground, seemingly in shock, and took a few steps back, breathing rapidly.

[Red A frowned slightly as he looked at Shirou Emiya, who was retreating in fright. "Look at you, you look like you're about to throw up. You saw that too, right? That makes things easier. It's all true!"]

"Shirou Emiya, you're going to catch up with me. That means this is what it means..."

"It turns out that the swords in Unlimited Blade Works were inserted by Red A... Each one represents the killings committed by a messenger of justice."

"Shirou Emiya's conviction was the first to waver, so his sword was the first to give way, and a nick appeared just like his conviction."

Seeing this, the people from other worlds shook their heads. In this contest of beliefs, Shirou Emiya had lost. After witnessing the future that Archer had reached, which was the end of his ideals, Shirou Emiya began to waver!

Ultimately, it's because Shirou Emiya's ideals are too idealistic. A world where no one gets hurt?! A world where allies of justice can save everyone?! There's no such thing as a free lunch.

Red A's story is the truth. He embarked on this so-called path of justice, only to be betrayed by what he was protecting. Even after becoming a guardian, he could only continue to kill against his own ideals... So Red A's heart must have been somewhat broken.

Type-Moon Fate/Zero World

"Hahaha, the future Archer! A tragic life of fulfilling one's ideals only to be betrayed by them... How pitiful!" Gilgamesh crossed his arms, clearly still resentful that the future Archer had blown his head off without any martial ethics.
