@ElysiaEmiya Oh yea i totally agree on that. Shirou himself said it on UBW that "we are different person then."
To sums it up, Archer is Emiya Shirou, but not Shirou from any of 3 route.
@ElysiaEmiya He is Emiya Shirou who has become disillusioned by his own ideology.
Just like how Shirou from HF is Emiya Shirou who has bend his ideology to only save those who is matter to him.
@ElysiaEmiya But Archer IS Emiya Shirou. He is Emiya Shirou and grew up as Emiya Shirou.
The reason why he act differently than teenage Shirou is, well, he's not a teenager anymore. He is Emiya Shirou who has grew bitter.
This doesn't discredit any of their growth.
@ElysiaEmiya "Shirou wont be Archer in any of 3 route" doesn't mean Archer is not Shirou. It just means any Shirou FROM all 3 route won't be Archer
Archer is Shirou from a route that is similar to Fate but he failed to save Saber. Hence more gung ho to becoming Hero of Justice.
@anxientkana Anyone is entitled to their headcannon. As long as they keep it to themself and did not force it on others as if it was "cannon" then its all ok
Past Enmin when he met current Enmin
