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

Type-Moon Chaldea

“As a child, Shirou Emiya was the only one who witnessed Hell yet resolutely went forward, not because he was in Hell and was redeemed by Kiritsugu Emiya, but because he voluntarily went to Hell for the sake of others. This is the original intention that the Heroic Spirit Shirou forgot.” Fujimaru Ritsuka felt that everything became clear. In this battle of beliefs, Shirou Emiya had won.

Even knowing the end of his ideals, Shirou Emiya still chose this thorny path, and Archer has already been surpassed by Shirou.

Archer's past is definitely Shirou Emiya, but Shirou Emiya's future may not necessarily be Archer's!

Magical Girl Illya World

“Brother…” Miyu stared blankly at the screen, thinking of her brother.

Watching the two clash over their ideals, she now clearly realized what a huge decision her brother had made by simply saying he was giving up his ideals.

"I wonder how my brother is doing now?!"

……

Ignoring Miyu's sudden sadness, Emiya, on the other hand, is doing quite well, since his sister-in-law is taking good care of him.

The Seventh Singularity: Absolute Demonic Front

"Hahaha, it is precisely because justice is an ideal that it has value in being realized! It is precisely because the future is predetermined that it has value in being changed." King Xian laughed heartily, no longer finding Emiya Shirou childish.

Shirou Emiya has already accessed Archer's memories, those scenes and endings of betrayal and being turned into machines, which are equivalent to witnessing and experiencing them firsthand.

But he still had to move forward toward that hellish ideal. For him, as long as he could save more people, it didn't matter if he regretted it in the future... Even if you call him foolish or naive, I, the king, would not dislike such a person.

"Uh, so the scabbard was on that boy?" Merlin was also somewhat surprised, but in that case, there was nothing to worry about; a mere fatal wound...

P.S.: I tried my best, but I really couldn't finish four chapters after only half a day of rest. I'll make up for it tomorrow. I'll rest tomorrow and see if I can manage four chapters!

Reader: Hey... that's hell ahead!

Author: So what if it's hell? Keep writing! Lili.

Chapter 299 Born of Swordsmanship!

[When Shirou Emiya placed his hand on the longsword, sparks erupted from his right hand as he forcefully pulled out the only longsword in the desolate wilderness. The camera then zoomed out!]

[The scene returns to reality, where Archer (Red A) is astonished to see Shirou Emiya, who had been lying on the ground, suddenly kneel up!]

[Golden light began to emanate from the wounds on Shirou Emiya's body. Archer frowned slightly upon seeing this, then realized something. "I see, Saber's scabbard..."]

"To save your life, Kiritsugu Emiya buried it within you—your bond with Saber!! It's a sacred relic."

"It's not something summoned; even though the contract has been severed, the protective effect continues."

[The sword sheath buried within Shirou Emiya's body, a secluded utopia... begins to forcibly replenish the magic circuits within him.]

“I am (as)!!”

[Shirou Emiya suddenly spoke, and golden light, accompanied by a burst of green magic circuits, appeared in the wound, transforming into threads that stitched up the injured area, quickly restoring it to its original state.]

"The Bone of My Sword!!"

At this moment, the exciting background music, Aimer's "LAST STARDU" (7-7-13-13-ST), plays again!

[Red Archer also threw his twin swords, aiming them at Shirou Emiya.]

"I will never..." At this moment, Shirou Emiya's hands emitted a blue light, crackling around him like lightning.

"I lose to you!!" Shirou Emiya shouted firmly, his twin swords projected forward, still radiating blue light. With a powerful swing, he deflected Archer's projected swords far away.

[Saber stared blankly at the scene from afar. As the blue light in Shirou Emiya's hand dissipated, the familiar Gan Jiang and Mo Xie appeared in his hand, constantly flashing with blue lightning.]

[Shirou Emiya stared intently at Archer, his voice firm, "I can lose to anyone, but... I can never lose to myself."]

"Finally figured it out, huh..." Red A closed his eyes slightly upon seeing this, then reopened them. "But so what? You should understand the difference in strength between us!"

[Shirou Emiya understood, of course, but... he still gave his answer, "My hands and feet can still fight; it's only my heart that's giving up. Because of my inner weakness, he will accept that you are right."]

[Red Archer frowned slightly, looking at Emiya Shirou with confusion: "What?!"]

[Shirou Emiya continued, "What you call right is just plain right; I don't need that."]

At this point, Shirou Emiya picked up Gan Jiang and Bakuye, pointing them at Archer, his eyes filled with unwavering determination. "I will become a champion of justice, just as you have denied me. I will do everything in my power to defeat the me who is called you."

"Red A's line, 'So you've finally figured it out?'... I'm speechless!! So in the end, this is just a tutorial!... But I have to say, the healing effect of this artifact is really amazing."

"Being born with the sword, that line is absolutely awesome! The quality and precision of the re-projected Gan Jiang and Mo Xie have been greatly improved."

Everyone admired Shirou Emiya; he was like a martyr who never tired and always chased after the stars! He would not give up even when he saw the end of his ideal.

Red Archer despairs at the end of his ideals and tries to deny himself, while Emiya Shirou admits his inner weakness and also intends to deny his future self!

A noble ideal, even if it is hypocritical and carried through to the death, is it not also true goodness?

Valhalla's Wheel of Suppression

"As expected of the King's sword sheath, it can heal even the most severe injuries. This healing ability can make one almost immortal." Sun Knight Gawain was also watching this boy who seemed to have a close relationship with the King.

Ignorance is not great; true greatness lies in facing one's fears, even if they are an insurmountable hell.

Fairy Knight Tristana: "How perfectly this boy's ideal matches the fantasy world far removed from the mortal realm, where the king's sword sheath rests!"

This lofty ideal, from simple affirmation to negation, and then to the negation of negation... From this moment on, the fake named Emiya Shirou gradually moves towards the real thing!

Type-Moon Fate/Zero World

"The fact that the Heroic Spirit Emiya appeared in person transformed Shirou Emiya's ideal from simply inheriting someone else's ideal into a genuine, heartfelt desire." This time, Gilgamesh, unusually, did not go crazy, nor did he utter any more of those frivolous words.

"To make justice no longer bound by the past, but focused on the future. You're really something... Emiya Shirou!"

Even knowing the future, they still clumsily move forward, even if it means utter ruin! They relentlessly pursue the ideals inherited from their ancestors, ideals that have never been severed. Such people deserve my praise.

……

On the other side, Kiritsugu Emiya stared blankly into the resolute eyes of the boy on the screen. "The ideals inherited from me, a man judged as ruthless and unsuccessful..."

However, whether you call it impractical or distorted, this near-impossible ideal has been passed down through generations along with King Arthur's sword sheath.

"The most difficult thing is to defeat the self that denies itself..."

The child saved from that fire in the future not only prevented this ideal from being extinguished, but also made it shine even brighter at this moment than at any other time.

Magical Girl Illya World

"So you've finally come to your senses, Shirou Emiya!" The great hero Emiya smiled upon seeing this.

Red A believes he has not saved everyone and has been killing people all along, so he frantically denies his former ideals!

However, Shirou Emiya realized that his ideal was to satisfy himself in the process of saving people, so he admitted that Archer was right and that he was indeed weak and hypocritical!

However, precisely because of this, Shirou Emiya no longer denies Archer's correctness; all he wants is that original intention of becoming a partner of justice.

Regardless of the outcome, good or bad, I am who I am! All I want to do, and all I can do, is to become a partner of justice.

Type-Moon Chaldea

"Is this an exploration of the contradiction between ideals and self..." Fujimaru Ritsuka couldn't help but be moved. "Technology is an ideal borrowed from the heart, but it is also a yearning in the heart. Only when you recognize this ideal in your heart can you take steps to move forward for this ideal."

“Yes, senior!” Mash nodded slightly in agreement.

"Because I truly believe in it, what matters is achieving the ideal! Not why I achieve the ideal."

What Shirou Emiya probably meant was that the outcome doesn't really matter; the process of pursuing it is enough... Even if the result is tragic?! That's not important. What matters is doing your best in the pursuit.

"Bang bang bang—"

Archer (Red Archer) and Shirou Emiya swung their blades at each other on the mound of swords. Unlike before, this time it was Archer's sword that cracked first! But...

"Boring...boring, boring!!!" Archer was getting annoyed. "I don't want to watch anymore, it's utterly stupid! Emiya Shirou!"

"Becoming a partner of justice? Simply being right?! Since you've grasped this so clearly, why can't you see the error within it?"

"True justice is the manifestation of order... Saving all is different from saving the individual. The two can never coexist."

[Red A gripped the blade tighter, his voice sharp: "The more one pursues 'correct' redemption, the deeper one sinks into the quagmire of self-contradiction. In the end, one becomes nothing more than a mere killer."]

"If you don't even understand this, then die. Shatter and scatter along with your ideals! Die like this, having accomplished nothing."

[Shirou Emiya did not answer, but silently continued to project his sword and charged forward again.]

"The deathmatch has begun." Saber, watching from below, saw this scene clearly. "If this continues, Shirou will eventually catch up with him, but..."

"Bang bang bang—" The sounds of clashing swords echoed continuously within this Reality Marble. Shirou Emiya, in his battle with Archer, constantly learned techniques from the future and began to fight Archer on equal terms.

Red A was now somewhat confused by his own actions, gritting his teeth and asking himself, why was he so stubbornly insisting on playing along with her? He could have easily ended the fight by simply taking a few steps back.

[But... looking into Shirou Emiya's resolute eyes, Archer had a premonition that if he took even one step back, he would be defeated in this decisive matter.]

[He then kicked Shirou Emiya away, and Archer looked at Shirou Emiya, who was still struggling to get up in the distance, his heart filled with conflict.]

Am I an idiot?! Just show him this ending a few more times, and he won't stop. He won't reach the limit. That kind of thing… he's already crossed 2.2.

[2.2 If you ask why, the person this guy really wanted to kill wasn't me anymore.]

At that moment, the giant gear within the Reality Marble suddenly stopped turning. Archer, recalling his experiences in the Middle East, gritted his teeth and glared at Shirou Emiya.

Saber, who was present at the scene, had already clearly seen what they were fighting: "What Shirou wanted to kill was... the very thing that was blocking him; it was to protect what he had once believed in, and would continue to believe in."

"What Archer wants to destroy is the very thing that gave birth to him. It's to annihilate the regret that was born from this place and will be trapped in an endless cycle of remorse."

"The Heroic Spirit Emiya is conflicted... He sees his own past in this Emiya Shirou, and in the end, he has not completely denied that ideal."

After all, he was a product of Shirou Emiya's idealism. He was just suspicious and hoped to find the answer. He could have easily defeated Shirou Emiya in an instant if he had just been a little more serious.

However… Red A is still full of contradictions. He could easily give up his ideal, take a few steps back… but the persistence in his heart makes it impossible for him to do so.
