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

His body crumbled, his ideals collapsed, and his heart was corrupted. Even his memories were completely gone, and he could no longer remember who he was, yet he still felt an inexplicable urge to cry when he uttered the words "partner of justice."

……

After witnessing all this, Archer silently turned his gaze to Shirou Emiya, "Perhaps in the not-too-distant future, I might become like him."

"!!!" Shirou Emiya was clearly startled upon hearing this, staring at Archer in astonishment. Even Rin Tohsaka, who was still feeling sad, turned her gaze over.

After understanding everything, Archer felt somewhat relieved. Looking at the two tense figures, he smiled helplessly, "Don't be nervous. I'm talking about if you come here and don't witness the future of Shirou Emiya who made a different choice!"

Emiya Shirou is obsessive, and if there isn't someone important by his side watching over him, he will eventually reach the end of his ideal.

When the way to save more people is not through miracles but through killing, one falls into self-doubt and becomes physically and mentally exhausted.

When faced with the choice that achieving justice requires committing unforgivable crimes, one must either condone evil or become an evil person oneself; either choice is a betrayal of one's ideals.

Emiya Shirou seemed somewhat wistful, "It seems that no matter what choice I make, I will inevitably reach the end of this ideal."

Perhaps only Emiya Shirou, who had previously given up his ideals, would have a different ending... But only he knows how painful it was to make Emiya Shirou give up his ideals.

……

The Seventh Singularity: Absolute Demonic Front

"If I were to describe it, Shirou Emiya is the spark that brings about redemption, and the Heroic Spirit Emiya is the tinder that burns brightly. As for Emiya Alter…!" King Shan paused here.

"Embracing the embers of a dream, still carrying its warmth."

"Yes!" Merlin also sighed. It's not hard to imagine the pain of a broken spirit origin. Emiya Alter could be said to have burned himself to ashes for that ideal.

He was more like the Avenger than the Avengers, yet he never hated those who pushed him to hell. Saving these ordinary people was the meaning of his life, so he wouldn't allow Sesshouin to mock him. This belief did not change even after he was altered.

...On the other side, Chaldea

After witnessing all of this, Fujimaru Ritsuka had the urge to summon Black A, not for battle, but simply to allow him to pause for a moment, even if it was just for a brief rest!

Unlike the Heroic Spirits, Black A is a hero behind the scenes, an executioner in the shadows. No one knows that he saved the world, and no one cares to understand him... He is even given negative connotations by later generations.

Despite the complete collapse of body and soul, he still did not forget his childhood ideal, the person he originally wanted to be.

Magical Girl Illya World

"A partner of justice... That idiot! He really dares to say that, but, forget it. If it's a wish, as long as you have the courage to keep going, then no one has the right to say anything."

Emiya knew that good and evil could never be separated, and that pure good was also pure evil...!

We can only constantly choose between the best and the worst, making the most difficult choices... The dead cannot come back, and reality cannot be changed. We can only move forward with pain and heaviness, isn't that precisely to keep what we have lost?

Whether it's the Heroic Spirit Emiya or Emiya Alter, he has always wanted to become a partner of justice. That boy named Emiya Shirou!

.........

A few more days passed, and everyone calmed down after watching the videos one after another.

And so, the screen, which had been silent, lit up again, and a brand new video appeared on it.

"Look, look!! Another one has appeared. I wonder what kind of story it will bring this time... I hope it won't be too tragic."

They haven't slept well for the past two days. At first, when they didn't think Sesshouin Inori was evil, they thought Black A was too extreme and even cursed him a couple of times. But these past two days, they've wanted to get up in the middle of the night and slap themselves, cursing themselves for being inhuman.

[A look back at Emiya Shirou: I want to become Sakura's only ally of justice!!]

"Huh?! Emiya!! Another Emiya, don't tell me it's Emiya Shirou again..." The people from other worlds couldn't help but twitch their lips after seeing the text. None of Emiya Shirou's futures have ever ended well.

"Sakura... is she the one who wanted to give the Servant card to Emiya the Great Hero before?"

Everyone vaguely remembered the girl; they thought she died protecting Emiya in the Emiya world. So, is this another parallel universe...?

He only wanted to be Sakura's ally of justice! That's tantamount to giving up his ideals, which is worse than death for Emiya Shirou!!

Type-Moon Fate/Zero World

"Emiya's brat!!!" The ever-elegant magician Tokiomi Tohsaka completely lost his composure. He thought he had already hooked up with Rin Tohsaka, and now this?!

You're really something, both of my daughters are related to you... Ever since reading Matou Shinji's words about having sex, Tokiomi Tohsaka couldn't contain his anger. He caused a scene at the Matou family and also beat up Matou Shinji.

Then, realizing that the Matou family members weren't normal people, he brought Sakura back as well. (As a way of making up for a regret.)

Looking at Sakura, whose hand was being held by Rin Tohsaka, Tokiomi Tohsaka sighed. Even if he couldn't inherit the Magician's Crest, being an ordinary person would be just fine.

……

Inside a castle on the other side, Irisviel's eyes shone brightly. She had taken a liking to the child named Sakura when she watched Emiya's videos.

Now he can say he only wants to be Sakura's ally of justice, isn't that a confession?! This is the most important promise Shirou has ever made.

Kiritsugu Emiya rubbed his head, feeling a bit of a headache. He'd rather commit suicide than entrust his ideals to Shirou Emiya again...

He really didn't want to see Shirou Emiya trapped by his own cursed ideal anymore; after seeing several endings, none of them were happy.

Magical Girl Illya World

“Sakura…” Emiya’s eyes darkened. If it weren’t for him, Sakura might not have died.

"You only want to be Sakura's ally of justice? That's fine too, isn't it?"

After all, this is another possibility for me. Let me see if Shirou Emiya, who also gave up his ideals like me, can keep his word!

Type-Moon Fifth World War

"Sakura?! My sister?!" Rin Tohsaka looked at Shirou Emiya with suspicion. So it was you who had designs on my sister!

Even Red A next to 347 felt something was off. This wasn't right. If it was really like what was shown on the screen, then why did I come back?! Even if I didn't do anything, hadn't his ideals changed? Did I come back for a vacation?!

[As the scene begins, on a dark night, with rain falling from the sky, Shirou Emiya walks towards a solitary figure ahead.]

Looking into Sakura's tearful eyes, Shirou Emiya seemed to have made up his mind as well. He took a firm step forward, ignoring the puddles on the ground, and walked forward without pausing.

[Then, Shirou Emiya's inner monologue is revealed: She is the person I want to protect most, the most important person to me!]

I don't want Sakura to keep crying anymore. If no one teaches Sakura a lesson, she will only be able to blame herself!

Then I will take her hand and lead her to a sunny place, even if we don't get forgiveness from others!

[Shirou Emiya stopped in front of Sakura, and continued firmly, "I will continue to seek self-forgiveness for Sakura."]

"I understand the logic... but just say what you were really thinking!"

"Holy crap, that's impressive! I never expected Shirou Emiya in this world to be so good at flirting."

Everyone was getting anxious for him. He should just say those perfect words! They would definitely win her over in no time!

Type-Moon Fifth World War

"Aaaaaah!!" Rin Tohsaka pressed her hands against her head, letting out a scream that was hard to understand; she felt like she was about to split open.

Is this a confession?! Even though the inner monologue wasn't spoken aloud, it's definitely a confession…

This made her feel a little awkward. She didn't know how to interact with Shirou Emiya. She already had some feelings for him, so what was going on...?

P.S.: I'll delete some of Sakura's lines later, or just gloss over them. It's already bad enough, so I won't write it all out.

Chapter 306 A Confession in the Rain! Let's go home...

[Sakura Matou was originally Sakura Tohsaka, the second daughter of the Tohsaka family. Both Tohsaka sisters possessed astonishing talent as mages; however, the inheritance of a mage's ability can only occur one-on-one.]

In order to ensure that Sakura Tohsaka could inherit the art of magic, Tokiomi Tohsaka gave Sakura to the Matou family, a family with whom they had a long-standing friendship, and she became Zoukan Matou's adopted granddaughter!

However, Tokiomi Tohsaka was unaware of the cruel nature of the Matou family's magic. The tradition that magicians were not allowed to spy on each other's secret techniques kept Tokiomi in the dark.

[In order to obtain the Holy Grail, the Matou family began to cultivate Sakura's abilities. This cultivation process was inhumane. Young Sakura was thrown into a cellar full of demonic insects and repeatedly tortured by them in order to transform his body into a magical tool.]

At the same time, a corrupted fragment of the Holy Grail was implanted into Sakura's body, making her a living sacrifice for the Holy Grail ritual!

[Not only that, but Matou Shinji, Sakura's adoptive brother who is jealous of her talent, often bullies her out of his own impotent rage and filthy desires!]

[Then, a disturbing crawling sound came from the video. A dark, surging sea of ​​demonic insects writhed, and the girl, swallowed by the insect ocean, lay flat within it like a broken rag doll.]

Sakura Matou's empty eyes stared blankly at the sky, devoid of the vitality she once possessed; she seemed numb.

"Sss! Even I'm afraid of this bug, let alone Sakura, who was just a child back then. It's really hard to imagine how she got through her childhood... Or rather, did she even have a childhood?"

"!!! They are utter scum and degenerates. There is not a single normal person in the Matou family. They are evil to the core."

People from other worlds felt a chill run down their spines looking at the screen full of writhing demonic insects, their skin crawling with goosebumps. How much more so for a little girl who was only a few years old?

Is Tokiomi Tohsaka just incredibly naive or has a good character?! Didn't he even bother to find out what kind of people the Matou family was? And as long-time friends, didn't he know about their darker side after all these years? He just sent them over like that?!

And Matou Shinji... it's Matou Shinji again. It seems that this guy is a pervert, a beast, no matter which timeline he's in.

Type-Moon Fate/Zero World

"What...did I do?" Tokiomi Tohsaka stared into Sakura's empty, numb eyes, as if he were holding a knife and slicing it open inside his heart!

Aoi Tohsaka, unable to bear the shock, fainted. Rin Tohsaka could only suppress her fear and hold Sakura tightly, saying, "Don't be afraid, I'm here!"

In the world of magicians, mediocrity is the cruelest punishment, let alone for someone as talented as Sakura. He didn't want to waste Sakura's talent, so he sent her to the Matou family.

Even without a complete childhood, he still hoped his daughter would achieve great things...

But now, witnessing this scene… the ever-elegant magician Tokiomi Tohsaka instantly straightened up, his eyes bloodshot, the muscles at the corners of his mouth twitching uncontrollably, and he shouted that name in hatred, “Zouken Matou…!!”

Fortunately, he brought Sakura back a couple of days ago, otherwise he would never have been able to forgive himself, even until his death...

Upon witnessing this scene, Matou Kariya nearly ground his teeth to powder. He instantly transformed into a master of desktop cleanup, smashing everything on the table to pieces. "This is all Tokiomi's fault... and that damned Matou Zouken... they all deserve to die!!"

…Gabriel's Fallen World

"What's with those bugs..." When Gabriel saw the wriggling bugs, she almost took out her horn and wanted to blow it.
