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

Before the person was even seen, a deep, muffled voice rang out, "You ask me if a righteous ally can do all sorts of evil?! Of course, because I myself am already rotten to the core."

"!!!" Everyone was stunned by the figure that appeared and the voice that came from it. They could hardly believe their eyes. The man in front of them was actually Emiya Shirou!

People from other worlds still couldn't connect this dark-skinned Emiya Alter with Emiya Shirou, so is this another Emiya Shirou from a parallel world...?

But isn't Archer already the embodiment of Shirou Emiya's ideals reaching their end?! How dark must the future be for him to keep sneering at his own lifeless existence?

Type-Moon Fifth World War

Even Red A himself, looking at his dark skin as if he had suffered many hardships in the Middle East, couldn't help but frown slightly.

"Could it be another version of myself from a parallel world...? What choices did he make this time?" Red A muttered to himself. He thought he had already suffered enough, having been betrayed by his own ideals and witnessed what was called hell.

But he never expected that there was someone even worse off than himself. What had he gone through to realize that he was utterly rotten, and that it was perfectly acceptable for him, as a righteous ally, to do bad things?

JoJo's Stone Ocean World

“Father Pucci?! No… there are still some differences.” Jolyne looked at the dark-skinned, white-haired figure and almost mistook him for Father Pucci. She never imagined that there could be such a similar person in the world.

It's no wonder Jolyne mistook them, given how incredibly similar they look... But what kind of justice will these utterly rotten partners of justice possibly carry out?!

In the past, a religion arose in a certain country, and many scientists and those in power became its followers, regarding it as the true salvation.

The followers of this religion uphold purity; those rejected by others, those with special talents who are lonely, and those considered dangerous geniuses gather together!

At that time, an incurable disease was spreading throughout the world, and this cult suddenly appeared and cured it, leading to a surge in the number of people joining the organization.

That organization had absolutely no evil ideologies, not even a trace of malice... except for that one person who impulsively created a female cult leader—Sesshouin Kiara!!

Sesshouin Kiara is a very peculiar woman. She possesses unparalleled beauty, compassion, and the ability to be loved by others. She also has the qualities of a saint and a savior!

The cult leader ruthlessly satisfied the desires of his followers, who became completely dependent on him, regarding it as their absolute faith.

She was a philanthropist, unconstrained by any prejudice, loving all people equally, and vowing to liberate them from suffering. However, the only person she truly loved was herself! She regarded everyone else as beastly beings.

"Damn it!! He clearly possesses the qualities of a savior, loving all people equally... yet he only sees himself as a human being and treats everyone else as animals!"

Everyone gasped in shock at the sight. What pure arrogance! Possessing the qualities of a saint and savior, with numerous followers behind him, such a being, if evil, would have unimaginable consequences.

Type-Moon Fate/Zero World

"You lowly scoundrel! How dare you be so arrogant!" Gilgamesh couldn't stand it any longer, his face turning furious. How could someone so arrogant, even a human like himself, not look down on others!

"Hahaha, what an arrogant little girl." The Conqueror King seemed unconcerned, but in reality, he was secretly annoyed.

He clearly possesses the qualities of a saint and savior, yet he claims to love all people equally, while treating others like sex animals. In reality, he only loves himself! What arrogance!

She could only derive pleasure from enduring the desires of others, finding the greatest gratification in destroying their lives. In reality, her followers who committed suicide were all driven by a desire for her love, which faded as their desires were gradually satisfied, leading them to lose her care and ultimately, in despair, take their own lives.

Later, even those closest to Shirou Emiya joined the cult, though Shirou knew they were only turning to the cult out of desperation because of their child's incurable disease, not out of genuine faith.

[Thus, Shirou Emiya, realizing something was amiss, began investigating the club. His initial suspicions deepened, leading to conviction: if things continued this way, everything would be corrupted, and the world would become an entity inescapable of Sesshouin Inori's existence!]

No matter how violently he used to stop his followers, he couldn't shake their very foundation! The more radical he became, the more frenzied resistance and support he would face from them!

[Therefore, Shirou Emiya decided to eliminate the source of everything—the cult leader—before everything was corrupted! For him, the only object of corruption was the cult leader himself; the followers did not possess the poison that harmed the world.]

When Shirou Emiya arrived at the cult leader's location, he wasn't met by hordes of believers, but by his most important family member—Taiga Fujiharu!

[Fujiharu Taiga became one of the believers, standing in front of him, her eyes filled with tender tears, her finger on the trigger, the gun pointed at him.]

Perhaps it was the instinct of battle that made Shirou Emiya pull the trigger, and with a "I'm sorry!", the beautiful past vanished before Shirou Emiya's eyes...

"Just because they wanted Sesshouin Kirara's love, they all started killing each other! And because they lost her care, they even took their own lives..."

Everyone gained a clear understanding of Sesshouin Inori's panic. The only one who was clear-headed, Emiya Shirou, was right in his opinion: if things continued to go unchecked, the world would be corrupted.

However… Sesshouin Ki not only made him betray his ideals, but also forced him to kill his only relative with his own hands. It's no wonder that Shirou Emiya would undergo a reversal and become Emiya Alter…

Type-Moon Fifth World War

Shirou Emiya, who had been quietly watching the screen, could no longer sit still. He stared at the screen in astonishment, unable to believe his eyes.

Shirou Emiya stared blankly at his hands, uncertain whether that future belonged to him. "I killed Taiga?!..."

This was the most impossible thing for him. Taiga was his only family, like a mother or sister. How could he possibly do such a thing?

"Disregarding family ties...abandoning morality." Only now does Shirou Emiya realize the true extent of the sins that Emiya Alter carried.

The followers swarmed forward to stop Shirou Emiya from advancing toward their leader, but Shirou's resolve hardened once more: "Even if it costs me something important, I will eradicate the root of corruption completely."

[Thus, Shirou Emiya began slaughtering the believers who tried to stop her, but he was horrified to discover that as long as there was even one believer who genuinely wanted Sesshouin to live, she would not face true death! And many more would perish!]

To annihilate Sesshouin would mean killing all her followers, which conflicts with his long-held beliefs. Or rather, it distorts Shirou Emiya's convictions!

Left with no other choice, in order to eliminate Sesshouin, Shirou, with twisted beliefs, killed all the believers in the building who wanted Sesshouin to live, and finally stood before the culprit, Sesshouin Inori.

For Shirou Emiya, killing Sesshouin Inori would be enough to uphold his sense of justice, but she didn't give him that chance.

[Sesshouin Inori, flustered but mocking, leaped from the high-rise building. "If I existed in your world, I'd probably jump off the roof with a mixture of joy and utter boredom."]

She knew that as long as she existed as an evil being, she would continue to exist, regardless of sacrificing innocent people or things of importance! For Shirou Emiya, upholding justice was salvation!

[But now, as an evil being, she understands herself! Thus, Shirou Emiya's sense of justice has turned into evil!]

What was originally a sacrifice made to uphold justice has turned into the indiscriminate killing of innocents, and this pain will forever torment Shirou Emiya!

[This is the last "gift" that Sesshouin Inori left for Emiya Shirou!] Dongdong.

Chapter 302 Even if the plot is reversed, the partner of justice is still the mortal enemy of evil!

"Such ruthless methods..." Everyone felt extremely heartbroken about what happened to Shirou Emiya in the other world.

They knew that for Shirou Emiya, justice was not something that only considered the outcome; Shirou Emiya had sacrificed everything to embark on this path.

However, this outcome rendered all his sacrifices meaningless, which may be the root cause of his breakdown.

The sin of murdering innocent people is etched deep within Shirou Emiya by Sesshouin! Even if he never encounters such an enemy again, he cannot be forgiven, not even in hell.

The Seventh Singularity: Absolute Demonic Front

"He took his own life, denying the legitimacy of everything Emiya did... Not bad at all." The Wise King had a half-smile on his face, not forgetting to disgust Emiya Shirou even when he was about to die.

Coincidentally, Emiya Shirou is truly stubborn and fixated on a single point. If it were me, even if Sesshouin Inori had committed suicide in a panic, so what?!

My heart and actions are as clear as a mirror, and all my deeds are righteous! If she can influence me even slightly, I will admit defeat.

Magical Girl Illya: The Rise of the VIII World

"Now I understand the difference between Emiya Alter and Archer... How helpless and painful he must have been back then!" Emiya, the great hero, smiled bitterly as he watched this final scene.

In his pursuit of his ideals, Archer realized that he couldn't save everyone and might even have to kill villains, which led to his doubts and explains why he wanted to kill Shirou.

The branch of Emiya Alter lies in the fact that after knowing the extent of Sesshouin's evil, even with his hands stained with sin, he still kills innocent believers, ultimately corrupting himself completely!

Throughout this process, he was fully aware of the evil he was committing, but in order to achieve his ideals, he was willing to stain his hands with the blood of sin, ultimately corrupting himself.

If he personally killed the person most important to him, then after the ideals that supported him were also buried by his own hands, the act of killing the innocent (in his eyes) would forever haunt him until he was burned to ashes and his remains were gone!

Type-Moon Fifth World War

"Even if it goes against one's true nature, in a sense it is abandoning ideals and killing the innocent. Evil must be eradicated. In this sense, it can be considered the maximum realization of one's own ideals."

"But... for him, this might be the most serious distortion of his ideals." Archer finally understood the meaning of Emiya Alter's opening self-answer.

Unlike Shirou, who, in the process of continuously realizing his ideals, looked back and doubted them, and unlike Shirou, who, after doubting himself, became even more determined in his ideals.

Emiya Alter had no hesitation in pursuing his ideals, but unfortunately, ideals are just ideals, and this man ultimately distorted himself because of guilt.

In a sense, he has already maximized the fulfillment of his ideals.

[Only Shirou Emiya in the entire world has realized the consequences of humanity's malign transformation, and it is precisely for this reason that he must eliminate the tumor threatening the world, even at the cost of sacrificing the innocent and destroying what he truly loves.]

However, the matter was not as simple as him being taken to the execution ground and dying. The government was very interested in his abilities and, in its report, classified him as a religious attacker and ordered his execution.

In reality, he was used as an anonymous executioner, thus turning a champion of justice into a puppet of fairness, and becoming a "restraint force" for the government!

Having become a machine of constant killing, Shirou Emiya's heart had long since become utterly empty; justice had been forgotten by him over time.

Even the Gan Jiang and Mo Xie in his heart gradually melted away as justice faded, turning into a shape resembling a bladed spear! Until he died…

This is his story from his life; after his death, he became the Heroic Spirit Emiya Alter!

"So... this is the story of Emiya Alter before his death. He was aware of everything and saved the world, but in the end he was reduced to a machine-like existence."

Having lost someone important, sacrificed everything, and become a mere tool, and ultimately having to confront one's own false ideals—perhaps nothing could be more tragic.

Physical pain meant nothing to him, but because of Sesshouin Inori, he had to face mental torment every moment, becoming a guardian who could give up everything to protect humanity.

[The Heroic Spirit Emiya Alter, burdened by the guilt of murdering numerous innocent believers, suffered a mental breakdown, became emotionally numb, abandoned his true self, and degenerated into a killing machine solely for the sake of upholding justice.]

Although they have lost their way, Black A's efficiency in upholding justice has not decreased but increased. "They have no thoughts, no ideals. Therefore, their efficiency is extremely high!"

"A nameless anti-hero, indifferent as a machine. His very core is rotten, repeating merciless killings to achieve his goals."

"I have nothing left... no, it would be more accurate to say I'm about to have nothing. My past ideals and thoughts have gradually faded away. All that remains is the fact that I'm good at killing."

Type-Moon Chaldea

“Although it has become utterly corrupt, this is the result of upholding justice. It’s truly pathetic…” The wise king shook his head repeatedly as he watched.

Those who fall into depravity and corruption because of their ideals have, in a sense, already achieved their ideals without the slightest hesitation... That's why I find it pathetic.

In the end, even his name was abandoned, his ideals and original heart were forgotten, and the Gan Jiang and Mo Xie swords he once held became highly efficient killing weapons, turning him into a completely destitute killer.

Type-Moon Fate/Zero World

Kiritsugu Emiya felt heartbroken seeing Emiya Alter like this. The child who had inherited his ideals had been forced by reality to degenerate into this state.
