'''Emiya Shirou''' }}

 

** The King of Rats smiled. "You are not the first to say that young girl. My master himself was also quite intrigued when he first realized that I am rather fond of the human race even though he did not create me as such." He raised the mace to the light in the room to get a better look at it. "When he asked me about it, I merely replied that I constantly work for the betterment of all rats, my master… and humans so long as the latter continue to make pizza of course."

* [[Badass Creed]]: Not finished yet, but he's close to [[Field of Blades|Unlimited Blade Works]]:

* [[Badass Teacher]]: {{spoiler|Kuzuki has been sparring with Shirou.}}

* [[Big Bad Ensemble]]: Louvre, Zouken Matou, Kirei Kotomine, & Gilgamesh. For now, anyway...

* [[Black Swords Are Better]]: Shirou's most dangerous sword Kiritsugu is a black longsword with blood-red stains and [[Tainted Veins|brown veins]] on it.

* [[Blasting It Out of Their Hands]]: Rin does this to Louvre, to multiple characters' surprise.

* [[Chekhov's Gun]]: Shirou's inherited magic crest ends up being a [[Game Breaker]] against Louvre: {{spoiler|Time magic, combined with the Origin Sword Maiya, equals a way to bind a vampire's personal timespace to the Gaian timeline, thus nullifying his pesky healing factor. I repeat: Shirou is now not only a major threat to magi all around, but it expands to magi-turned-Dead Apostles as well.}}

* [[Cool Sword|Cool Swords]]: The Origin Swords are [[Game Breaker]] material, to be blunt, to the point that Shirou could easily become [[The Dreaded]] for other Magi. [[Cool Big Sis|Bazett]] has told him upfront that she'd kill him if he ever made her list before he could use them.

** Maiya: Can bind things, including alterations and souls, improperly, effectively screwing over anything that can split itself apart or adding something to their very core.

** Kiritsugu: This blade… well, it Severs and Binds just like the Origin Bullets, but combined with the curse… it hits them down to the very soul. Hitting someone's magic with it can cause them to literally lose the memory of the spell. If it hits them directly… Well, let's just say even [[Tsukihime|Roa]] wouldn't be able to escape it. {{spoiler|Louvre found out just how terrifying it is, the hard way.}}

* [[Dark Is Not Evil]]: {{spoiler|Shirou's swords}} may turn out to be this.

* [[Didn't See That Coming]]: Waver Velvet's plan to rescue Sirius runs afoul when Louvre uses his newly-acquired weapon.

* [[Posthumous Character]]: Kiritsugu is dead after 3 years of raising Shirou, by the end of Chapter 5.

* [[Pre-Ass-Kicking One-Liner]]: Rin as she {{spoiler|points the Thompson Contender at an enraged Louvre}}.

* [[Pre-Mortem One-Liner]]: In the same chapter as the aforementioned [[Pre-Ass-Kicking One-Liner]], from Shirou when he's {{spoiler|comparing Louvre's collection of weapons to his}}.

* [[Small Role, Big Impact]]: Kiritsugu dies even sooner than in canon due to {{spoiler|giving Shirou his magic circuits}}, but his actions here set the new plot entirely into swing.

* [[Spanner in the Works]]: [[Tsukihime|Louvre]], whose desire for Mystic Codes and Conceptual Weapons has him kidnapping Sirius. This leads to the chain of events that exposes the existence of Shirou and his abilities to not only the Mage's Association, but to [[Big Bad Ensemble|Kotomine, Zouken, and Gilgamesh]] as well.
