-----

* [[Lawful Good]]: [[In-Universe]] alignment.

* [[Leitmotif]]: "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q52bJ3E19DU The Sword of Promised Victory]"

* [[Older Than They Look]]: Saber was around 25 when she died, but {{spoiler|due to the fact that she stopped aging once she obtained Avalon,}} she looks around 14/15.

* [[Pimped-Out Dress]]

* [[The Blacksmith]]: Also known as "The Blacksmith Heroic Spirit." {{spoiler|His version of "Unlimited Blade Works" has steam and gears in the background, resembling that of a workshop. He likes to make weapons, LOTS and LOTS of weapons; it defines his very existence.}}

* [[Big Damn Heroes]]/[[Not Quite Dead]]: {{spoiler|For the finale of ''Unlimited Blade Works''.}}

* [[Casual Danger Dialog]]: Archer speaks to everyone with the same bored indifference, even if they are much stronger and on the verge of attacking him. The craziest example was {{spoiler|when he, near the end of his route, calmly threatened ''[[Complete Monster|Gilgamesh]]'' with death at 1/10 of his original strength.}}

* [[Charles Atlas Superpower]]: Archer was an ordinary person with average magical aptitude (100 times less than prodigy Rin) but through rigorous training he became able to hold his own with sword and magic against Servants and ''whole armies''.

* [[Knight in Sour Armor]]: Saber, and to a lesser extent Lancer, recognize him as a knight, but both are rather appalled at his manipulative nature, cynicism and [[Shoot the Dog]] attitude.

* [[Leitmotif]]: "The End of Reminiscence" serves as a ''de facto'' leitmotif for Archer, especially in the ''Fate'' route. {{spoiler|"Emiya" also counts for obvious reasons, but that's more of a [[Theme Music Power-Up]], and only in the [[Anime]].}}

* [[Manipulative Bastard]]

* [[Mathematician's Answer]]: When asked if he could {{spoiler|follow his ideal}} to the end without regrets he evades the question by saying it's meaningless: He already met his end. {{spoiler|The answer is both yes and no. He can meet his end without regrets, but after the end he sees the inevitable conclusion, which leaves him lashing out in ways he doesn't even fully understand.}}

* [[Mighty Glacier]]: [[Averted|He avoids this trope]] in the [[Visual Novel|original novels]], being noted as having [[Lightning Bruiser|incredible strength and speed]]. ''Fate/unlimited codes'' has him as a proper [[Mighty Glacier]] for the sake of [[Competitive Balance]].

** The ''Unlimited Blade Works'' movie shows Berserker as a full on [[Lightning Bruiser]] in his fight against Saber.

* [[Normally I Would Be Dead Now]]: Like Lancer, Berserker has "Battle Continuation". {{spoiler|Like Lancer, he gets to showcase it in "Unlimited Blade Works" where it allows him to stand up to Gilgamesh long enough for Ilya to die in peace}}.

* {{spoiler|[[1-Up]]: His "Twelve Labors" gives him eleven of these.}}

His true identity is one of the nineteen ''original'' assassins, Hassan-i-Sabah. His Noble Phantasm -- a form of the Noble Phantasm ''Zabaniya'', shared by all True Assassins -- is the curse-like ''Delusional Heartbeat'', which uses the arm of [[Satan]] himself to crush a duplicate of the target's heart, crushing the real one as well.

 

-----

* [[AcCENT Upon the Wrong SylLABle]]: Only at first, when he was still unstable. After devouring {{spoiler|Lancer}} he begins talking normally.
