Emiya Shiro (or Shirou) is the main male character in the Fate universe, in a visual novel from 2004, in a manga from 2006, and also the hero of the anime Fate / stay night since 2004. In addition to the above works, Emiya can be seen in many manga, anime adaptations of the Fate / stay night universe and the film “The Limitless World of Blades”.
Anime Hero: The Past
The hero is involved in many projects - games, manga and films, however in this article we will consider the character as Shiro Emiya from "Fate: the night of the battle."
10 years before the events, Shirou was an ordinary boy who lived with his parents in Shinto. However, everything turned into a nightmare when there was a fire caused by contents from the Holy Grail after the end of the Fourth War for him. Due to the fire, both parents of the boy died. The latter was saved thanks to the conscience of Emiya Kiritsuga , who felt, though indirect, but his guilt for the tragedy that had happened.
Shirou then becomes the adopted son of Kiritsuga and learns magic from him. Inadvertently, the second conveys to the boy his desire to become a defender of justice. 5 years before the start of the Fifth Grail War, Emiya's adoptive father dies, leaving him alone and deeply depressed.
The present
After starting her studies at the school, Shiro Emiya becomes famous thanks to her desire to help everyone free of charge, right up to repairing the equipment of the institution. Later, he enters the club for archery and will not miss the entire time even not once.
The only exception will be the deliberate error, which he will report even before the release of the arrow. Emiya will leave the club later due to a fracture and due to the scar left after it.
Emiya Shiro: appearance
During the Fifth War of the Holy Grail (a contest to determine the owner of the Holy Grail - the cup into which the blood of Christ was collected), the hero Shirou wears red-brown hair, his eyes are combined with the color of their hair - they have a golden brown tint.
In everyday life, he is almost always dressed in casual clothes: a white and blue long-sleeved T-shirt and blue jeans. At school, she follows a dress code: she walks in the uniform of Homurahara Academy, but she also puts on a jacket on her T-shirt.
Emiya Shiro: personality
Shirou constantly feels a void inside himself due to the tragedy caused by a huge fire. He does not leave a feeling of guilt and shame that he was the only one who survived the terrible events of that time. Because of such judgments, he treats himself carelessly, putting the lives of other people in his priority. Self-esteem is built on gratuitous help to others, because for the anime anime, the act of virtue for Ciro Emiya is already a reward (altruist).
There is a wild obstinacy in the character. For example, a hero may spend hours trying to hone high jumps, which for him is an almost impossible task. He will defend his point of view to the very end, even if it is incorrect. Also, despite the priority of helping other people, if Emiya sees that a person’s actions lead to his own death, he will not intervene.
Such a strong-willed and stubborn character could not leave indifferent many girls. Despite the fact that the love object between Saber, Sakura and Rin may vary depending on the chosen branch, Emiya will be in love with the latter before the events in Fate / stay night. Therefore, Rin Tohsaka and Shiro Emiya will begin to experience strong mutual feelings for each other.
Role in anime
The guy is a student of the second year of high school at Homurahara school. Shirou is completely uninterested in the battle for the Holy Grail, but he still intends to win the war, and only for noble purposes: Emiya hopes that through his efforts the terrible fire that he had to survive 10 years ago will never happen again.
Abilities
Despite the fact that Shirou learned magic from his adoptive father, he cannot be officially recognized as a magician, since he is no longer a spellcaster who does not recognize the usual motives of wizards. Due to the fact that Emiya is not a member of a foster family, he does not have an innate talent and sufficient experience to inherit a magic sign. Due to these circumstances, Shiro Emiya cannot fully use any of the five great elements.
Strengthening Magic:
- analysis of the structure of the object;
- improving the quality of the properties of the subject.
The magic of understanding structures:
- elucidation of the structure and composition of the object.
Copy:
- full repetition of everything related to the creation and history of the existence of the subject.
Source:
- the starting point that determines the existence of each person and directs his actions throughout life;
- in the field of magic, he describes the exact data about the wizard;
- the source of Emiya Shiro is the “sword,” which is his predisposition to magic.
Regeneration:
- introduced into the body of Emiya Avalon (sacred knives) gives the young man extremely powerful regenerative abilities.
Archer's Hand:
- with the help of the hand of the wizard, Shiro Emiya from Fate constantly assimilates the past combat experience and knowledge of the magician Archer;
- the hand surpasses the ordinary human limb in strength and capabilities.
Shroud of Martin:
- serves to counteract the negative consequences of using Archer's hand;
- it completely envelops the limb, without counting the fingers, and restrains Archer's chains from connecting with Shirou's body, thereby preventing some undesirable events.
Projection:
- projection using Archer's force is possible only with the absence of the shroud of Martin.
Puppet body:
- Shiro Emiya’s magical purpose was broken into pieces, and now his death has become absolute, even the Holy Grail cannot affect her;
- with the help of magic, Shirou’s soul was able to resurrect and gain a new body.
