It's crazy to think that I made this video BEFORE the chapter was released, but yeah the hints were already there. Recent chapter confirms that EMIYA Alter had to put down Taiga as well.

i just finished the fgo seraph interlude yesterday so this is good timing, i like how his character is twisted and fallen but emiya's core ideals still glimmer through him sometimes

And if you listen to Alt Emiya's voicelines, AND read his note, this kind of back up his theory and if you read Alt Emiya's first Interlude... Yeah😢

I really like the character, from his history to his design, everything was thought out. Therefore I wanted to get him when he came to NA, but then they had to "brighten" him up...He looks even brighter than EMIYA now so it feels like a spit in the face of the character🙁

Finally, it is Pucci's turn.

I'm so glad you made this video because every time I would bring this man up, my friends would just ignore him. I have always said that the best way to understand this Shirou was to look at him when next to Archer. Archer is a Shirou who achieved all his dreams only to be betrayed by them, which later on, causes him to throw away his ideals whereas Alt, at least to me seems to have been betrayed by his dreams long before he ever could achieve them which lead him to abandon them just like Archer which, at least in my opinion is what separates the two.

Ah, more emiya stuff perfect

He pretty much ghost rider punisher but not as evil

I love the fact that you're uploading more often this year. Every video has been straight fire. This man does not miss!!!

You know i can just see alt emiya on the ground dying thinking about his life and just before he saves sakura he recites a new chant. "I am the bone of my sword. Known to death and life. My mind is steel, my heart is shattered glass. I've winessed hell time and time again. It is unchanging. Yet, my blades are made to protect those who cannot protect themselves. Therefore, i remain. Unliminted Bladeworks."

I loved the visual of kintsugi on emiya alter. ULW is one of my favorite NPs too.

Ive personally always been of the mind that Emiya Alter isnt even the same shirou from stay night, but rather a version of Extra's Emiya. Extra's shirou was established to be sort of like a softer kiritsugu until one day something changed to make people close to him grow scared of him. Considering emiya alter encountered Kiara at some point, its possible thats the change that happened to extra shirou that caused him to grow colder and more detached, eventually becoming the degraded Demiya

In FGO CCC event Kiria and Emiya did have a conversation with each other

SHIROU TURNED BLACK but naw I really do love his design shit is TUFF

I can never get bored shiro content

From what I've seen, in trying to stop Kiara Sessyoin's cult, he committed numerous atrocities against the cult members, ultimately allowing him to reach, and subjugate, Kiara herself. In doing so however, he had violated so many taboos that he'd lost sight of what he'd originally set out to do, to be a Hero of Justice, and in the process, lost his way.

Shiro got the fresh cut he made sure he looking fresh

All Shirou propers/alters did end up having some saviour complex in the end. Imagine if a version of him became the Grand Saber that swung a projected Excalibur against the white titan. Every time he swings it he dies, but Avalon ressurects him so he swings it again. Again and again until he breaks both mentally and spiritually, not knowing about anything else but to project and swing the sword over and over again, until the white titan finally dies. Shirou reaches heavens feel on his final swing and materialises himself into the real Excalibur (sheathed in avalon), which eventually gets passed down to King Arthur. And thus the cycle begins. Over and over again....

I havn't gotten to the Seraph chapter in FGO but I have seen the manga up to it's last update and I've always found so interesting they pair Ishtar/Rin and EMIYA Alter as they go through things and discover truths about what's going on. They both at least some inkling that their familiar and might have even know each other in the past and even haughty Ishtar getting moody and emotional like there's something she could have done differently to change the path EMIYA went down to make this version of him. Not to mention Ishtar supposed to be function as a guardian/enforcer put in place by B.B. like Rin would have been to Sakura as the Big Sister had things turned out differently.

as someone who studied japanese culture and the language, i noticed a lot of the design inspirations you brought up in this video when he was first released in JP. i've always been fond of his design and think its one of the best in the entire series, despite being kinda hard to look at because its my boy Shirou (never catches a fucking break bro). its an absolute shame that NA censored him. good video!
