Identity
EMIYA (エミヤ?), Shirou Emiya. He is not a proper Heroic Spirit
in the sense of other heroes.[3] He is an alternate version of
Shirou from an alternate timeline of Fate/stay night where he
made a contract with the World (Alaya) and became the Heroic
Spirit EMIYA. He acts as a Counter Guardian for the world as
payment for the contract. He is summoned because he still has
the jewel pendant that Rin used to save his life after Lancer
stabbed his heart. The jewel he owns is the actual catalyst used
FandomShop for his summoning
Ad:TrekHistory rather than the one that Rin still has at the
GalaxyQuest Find the next show that will keep you bingeing til 2am
time of his summoning. After the end of each of the three routes
in Fate/stay night, the possibility for Shirou to become Archer
still exists, but the chance of it happening is close to zero.[6]
The beginning conditions for Archer's Holy Grail War were

mostly the same as that of the Fate/stay night universe, but it
could be said that "something was missing." The following
events of the war happened in a similar manner to the Fate
scenario, having summoned Saber and continued fighting
together with her until the end, but while he understood her, he
didn't "save Saber's heart." After they destroyed the Grail and
parted, he went on to cooperate with Rin and headed to
London.[7] He eventually went on to work as a freelance magus
to pursue his dream of becoming a hero of Justice. He
stubbornly trained himself while pursuing his dream of saving
mankind, but later fell into despair upon realizing that his abilities
were insufficient in fulfilling his goal. Sometime in his twenties,
he obtained his signature red overcoat, possibly as a gift from
Ciel of the Church.[8] He at some point encountered and fought
beings similar to Angra Mainyu, but he was forced to retreat
when he was unable to act against them. He later gained some
understanding of such beings as targets of the Counter Force
upon entering the Throne of Heroes.[9]
He had to make a life changing

decision. Confronted by a
calamity which had the
potential of killing one hundred
people before him, he decided
to "make a contract" with the
Shirou Emiya making a contract
World to become a hero
with the World in the anime
capable of producing miracles
and become a Heroic Spirit
after his death.[10] He believed
he could save both the lives of the dying people before him and
save even more as a hero after his death. Although he
desperately fought to end a war, he was in turn branded as the
mastermind behind that war and subsequently executed
because of the betrayal of his allies. Although he died of
betrayal, he did not hate mankind. However, the "World"
ironically gave him the duty as a Heroic Spirit "to slaughter all
humans at a particular location when mankind is at the threshold
of complete self destruction", a "Counter Guardian".[3]
His belief that he would continue to save many people as a

Heroic Spirit did happen, but it was through being made to clean
up after human actions and forced to take many lives to save
humanity as a whole, instead of "saving everyone" - protecting
humans without having to cause deaths of humans as he would
have liked to. After seeing human self-destruction and forced to
oppose his own ideals countless times, he began to deny
himself and his ideal. Even knowing that the Throne of Heroes
was isolated from time and space, Archer desperately came to
believe that his only hope of release was to have himself
summoned into an era where Shirou Emiya exists and kill his
past self, hoping that the double paradox created by Shirou
Emiya being killed before having a chance to make the contract
with Alaya and that the killing was done by a Shirou Emiya who
successfully made the contract with the world would create a
time paradox great enough in magnitude that could potentially
erase his existence as a Counter Guardian.

magecraft.[11] Compared to Shirou, Archer has white hair, gray

eyes and tanned skin colour. His skin, hair and eye colors are
different to his younger self due to the extensive use of
projection magecraft that caused a rebound effect.[12]
His servant clothing, Red Plain Mystic Code (赤原礼装,

Akahara Reisō?) is Archer's signature costume. He wears a
black body armor made from a special material that has yet to
be discovered by mankind as of the present time, which
consisted of a black tight and sleeveless shirt with sliver accents
which outlined his muscles and a metal plate on his collar, and
black pants that had two black straps on his thighs, and another
two strapped around his shins separate from each other. He
wears black metal plated shoes, which appear to be attached to
his trousers. His signature red coat is a type of holy shroud,[13]
which were actually two separate sleeves connected by a metal
plate at the back which covered his arms and was cut off
showing his upper torso and midriff, and had a separate red
open skirt which ended above his shins with the top fashioned
and tied with an agemaki knot, covered by a silver metal plate.
In Fate/hollow ataraxia, Archer is seen without his holy shroud

as evidence that he isn't looking for a fight. In one of the
loops, he also wears black bow gloves. His casual attire
consisted of a plain black shirt, black trousers and heavy
boots. When he went fishing, he wore his signature clothing
without the holy shroud. Instead, he wore a red down vest jacket
and a red cap hat.
In his past, Archer has been seen wearing a pale-coloured cloak

in the Ufotable adaptation of Unlimited Blade Works.

Personality
His personality is very contradicting. While he is thoroughly
cynical and nihilistic, he is at the same time devoted and
protective, and even a little childish to the point that it makes him
hard to hate. He does not lie, but he does keep secrets and tell
half truths. He means well and is capable of being nice, but
often ends up being sarcastic, especially so when he gives
advice. He cannot approve of Shirou’s ideal of becoming a Hero
of Justice due to his own experience, but at the same time he
cannot deny it for the very same reasons.
Archer is a very bitter person not because of the events of his

life, but because of his status as a Counter Guardian, a being
that is forced to "clean up the messes humanity has made".
Although he was constantly betrayed by those around him, he
never held any grudges towards anyone. Even so, he despaired
over the fact that he could never live up to his ideal of "saving
everyone regardless of friend or enemy." The reason he chose
to become a counter guardian was because he believed that he
could save as many people as possible and in a way this was
true, but the reality was that the counter force merely sent him to
a point in time where it believed humanity was on the brink of
collapse and had him kill any and every person it had deemed to
be the perpetrators irrespective of the fact if they were good or
evil. He believed that gaining power as a Counter Guardian
would help him save everyone, but it was a mere continuation of
his life's work where he had to sacrifice a minority for the good
of the majority. In the end, he was even betrayed by the one
ideal he believed in. Because of his employment as a Counter
Guardian and his subsequent summons into all eras throughout
history regardless of past or future, the record of the Heroic
Spirit Emiya on the Throne has very fragmented memories. The
only memory regarding the Holy Grail War he has is a hazy one
of the moment when he first met Saber. He no longer feels
beauty from the moment as he did during his life, but the
moment itself is stored in his soul like a picture.[14]
He claims that his memory is confused to the incomplete nature

of his summoning, but that is only half truthful. He is able to
assess the situation and deduce his circumstances the night of
his summoning, believing himself to have the opportunity to
achieve his goal to kill Shirou. He had forgotten the name "Rin
Tohsaka" over the period of his life, but remembers her the
instant she introduces herself. Murmuring "――Rin. Ah, that's
the name――" under his breath, it is a statement from his heart
filled with "much endearment close to insanity."[12] He claims to
no longer have Shirou's memory, but remembers the day
Kiritsugu Emiya saved him and the feelings he felt upon seeing
Kiritsugu's smile. He has a fond remembrance of the moment
Saber was first summoned that he will always recall vividly
"even if he should fall into the depths of hell."
He's not interested in video games but he is willing to play, once

he gets started.[15]
Archer gains much joy and pride in housework, especially

cooking. He, however, denies that he enjoys doing them.
Relationships
Rin Tohsaka
Archer was fairly close to the Rin from his timeline, though
he did not recognize the Rin who summoned him as a
Master until she revealed her name. Throughout the
Unlimited Blade Works route, Archer intended to let Rin win
the GrailGalaxyQuest
FandomShop Ad:TrekHistory War with Saber at her side, going so far as to

"betray" Rin to achieve this (he does not do so willingly in

the manga version). Archer is, deep down, a loyal Servant to
Rin.
Cu Chulainn
Archer and Lancer have naturally clashing personalities, and
are bound to fight whenever they meet.[2] Archer outright
tells his Master in Fate/Grand Order to keep them off the
same team. The two are more amicable in Fate/hollow
ataraxia.
Shirou Emiya
Archer despises Shirou for his desire to become a "Hero of
Justice," and initially wants to torment Shirou into losing faith
in his ideals before killing him, regardless if doing so frees
Archer from his job as a Counter Guardian. In all three
routes, Archer eventually puts his faith in Shirou, hoping
Shirou will make the right choices this time round. In
Fate/hollow ataraxia and Today's Menu for Emiya Family,
Archer is mostly competitive towards Shirou and usually
avoids Shirou if possible.
Saber
Archer fondly remembers his first meeting with Saber and
often references her in various series. In his own timeline,
Archer had failed to "save Saber's heart."

to her, the
jewel pendant was used as a catalyst which summoned the
Heroic Spirit EMIYA. Rin's Pendant, a one-of-a-kind jewel kept
by Emiya as a keepsake of his unknown savior over the years.
Differing from normal, it is not the pendant Rin owns in the
present that acts as the catalyst. Emiya is instead a case where
he holds a catalyst with a connection to his summoner.
Archer crash landed in one of the mansion' rooms after the

summoning process was completed. He is disappointed by her
first impression of him, to which she questions what he is
"supposed" to be. After the two of them confirm their relationship
as Master and Servant, Archer begins to question Rin as a
master. He judges her worth as a master, and even goes so far
as to announce he will not follow her orders, regardless of their
importance. Archer makes sarcastic remarks about Rin which

Archer submit to her. Afterwards, Archer scolds her for being so
careless, and asks whether or not she knows the importance of
Command Seals. Once their argument is settled, Archer agrees
to stay with Rin. He blames Rin for his vague memories due to
her incomplete summoning but also acknowledges her talents
and skills.
Archer is then seen touring the Fuyuki City, with Rin acting as
his guide. As they venture through the city, Archer learns that
Rin has no actual wish for the Holy Grail, other than her desire
to win it.
One night, after informing Archer of a strange Bounded field

around the school grounds, Rin goes to the school in an attempt
to destroy it, only to encounter another servant, who she
identifies as belonging to the Lancer-class. When Lancer tries to
attack Rin, Archer intervenes. The two servants then engage in
a fight. While Lancer tries to disarm Archer, he becomes quite
agitated at Archer's ability to reequip his swords. During in their
fight, Shirou Emiya was a pedestrian who witnessed the two
Heroic Spirits battle for the first time. Before their fight can
continue, they are disrupted by Shirou's presence. Lancer stops
the fight and pursues Shirou, Archer and Rin follow him. Lancer
pursues the student, and impales him before fleeing. Archer and
Rin stumble upon the student's body. Rin orders Archer to track
down Lancer, but he was unsuccessful. Rin uses the magic in
her pendant to revive Shirou. Before the boy can regain
consciousness, the pair flee.
Archer gave his own pendant back to Rin making her think that
Archer returned to the scene to retrieve the pendant. Shortly
after, Archer and Rin come to the conclusion that Lancer's
master will gain knowledge of the boy's survival, and have
Lancer finish him off. Deciding to protect the boy, the pair travel
to the suburbs. However, before they can enter the grounds,
they are attacked by a servant, who Rin identifies as belonging
to the Saber-class.

Rin from participating in the War. When Shirou gets kidnapped
by Illya, Archer joins Rin and Saber in mounting a rescue effort.
In order to buy the trio time to escape, Archer fights Berserker.
He is subsequently killed, but not before killing Berserker six
times (five in the anime) and reducing his stock of lives from
God Hand.
In this route, Archer is only known as a nameless hero who

gives Shirou an advice before his final fight.

and

antagonist.
Archer early

is shown to

a character

mystery. During the early part of the route, Archer also awakens
Shirou's dormant magic circuits.
In this route, Shirou orders Saber not to attack Archer,

accidentally using his Command Seal in the process. This
allows Archer to join Rin on her visit to the Church and partake
in the battle against Berserker and Illya.
During the battle, Archer shows great skill when he protected

Rin from Illya and attacking Berserker with his Caladbolg, which
he fired as an arrow to destructive effect. Rin initially thought it
was an A-rank Noble Phantasm, in reality it was an A-rank
Broken Phantasm.
When Caster lures Shirou to Ryuudou Temple, Archer

intervenes and defeats Caster, who withdraws. It is during this
time that Archer demonstrates that he is on par with Caster in
devising strategies with them both being regarded as the best
tacticians in the Holy Grail War. However, he doesn't share his
well-planned strategies with Rin beforehand. Shirou and Archer
soon get into a quarrel over Shirou's ideals, and Archer attacks
him but is stopped by Saber and Assassin. Rin then uses a
Command Seal to order Archer to never attack Shirou.
Multiple times throughout the route, Archer tries to kill Shirou

Emiya or not assist in dangerous situations Shirou is caught in,
in hopes of it resulting in his death.
Following Rider's death, Archer and Saber debate over how

Rider was killed; while Saber claims she died in honor protecting
her Master, Archer claims she was a weakling, once again
creating a rift between him and the others.
After Saber is snatched away by Caster, Rin decides to rescue

her so Saber can be returned to Shirou. Archer promptly betrays
Rin and aligns with Caster because he claimed she had the
highest chance of acquiring the Holy Grail.
Archer battles Lancer for a second time when the latter joins
Shirou and Rin in their renewed effort to reclaim Saber. After his
defeat, Archer retreats back into the Church and betrays Caster
and her master and kills them both, revealing his true intentions.
Archer's identity as an older version of Shirou is also revealed.
Archer reveals he needed to be freed from his contract
with Rin in order to accomplish his goal of killing Shirou. Archer
then kidnaps Rin after she forms a contract with Saber, forcing a
situation where Shirou must engage Archer.
During the battle it's revealed that due to Shirou and Archer
being the same person, the more he engages with Archer the
more Shirou absorbs Archer's skills and abilities. In addition,
Shirou also witnesses Archer's memories, glimpsing into a
supposed future that awaits him. Archer during his attacks,
constantly critiques Shirou's ideals as hypocritical and borrowed,
causing Shirou to waver in his resolve. Yet he firmly held onto
his ideals, claiming they were beautiful and worth seeking after.
Though superior in strength, Archer loses the battle due to

accepting Shirou's unwavering desire to remain a "Hero of
FandomShop Justice." Gilgamesh
Ad:TrekHistory uses this opportunity to annihilate Archer,
but thanks to the Archer-class skill, Independent Action, Archer
remains alive and hidden up until the final battle. Despite
everyone believing him to be dead, he saves Rin from the Holy
Grail and eliminates a cornered and nearly defeated
Gilgamesh who had lost to Shirou.
Rin appears before him desiring to form a contract with him.

Archer tells her he does not want to and he believes it would not
be possible. He then disappears for good with a smile on his
face, confident that Rin will stop Shirou from taking a path that
he will regret.
Within the anime adaption, an epilogue showcases Archer

returning to his role as a Counter Guardian. He remembers his
experience from the Fifth Holy Grail War. Although he is still left
with regrets, he now proclaims that the path he has chosen was
not wrong.

Berserker. However, he and Rin later encounter Zouken Matou
and Caster's re-animated corpse. Saber dispatches Caster while
Archer attacks Zouken. The Shadow then appears and injures
Shirou, allowing Zouken a chance to flee.
During Shirou's battle against Rider, Archer and Rin follow him
to the school and witness the reveal that Rider's true Master is
Sakura Matou, not Shinji. Enraged, Shinji spills a substance
over Sakura that causes her to lose control and a boundary field
to activate. Archer opts to kill Sakura before she can use the
boundary field to cause any harm, but Rider is determined to
protect her Master. As a fight breaks out, Rider is forced to use
her Mystic Eyes, revealing her identity as Medusa, and begins to
petrify Archer. Archer is saved when the sight of an injured
Shirou drives Sakura to incapacitate herself.
During a battle with Saber Alter, Assassin and "the Shadow",

Archer's core is critically damaged and he is mortally wounded.
Since Shirou has discarded his heroic ideals to save Sakura,
Archer chooses to have Kotomine graft his left arm onto Shirou,
who lost his arm protecting Illya (following the way of the
Counter Guardians, sacrificing one life to save another rather
than losing both). Archer manages to resist disappearing
throughout the entire journey to the Church up until the
transplant is complete. Much of Archer's knowledge was
subsequently transferred to Shirou, though the foreign arm
began to invade his body as well.

Manga
The Fate/stay night manga follows parts of both Fate and
Unlimited Blade Works. He remains loyal to Rin instead of
joining Caster of his own free will, and he displays the same
antagonistic attitude towards Shirou. He is forced to join Caster
once Kuzuki captures and holds Rin hostage. After freeing
himself from her control, he proceeds with his plan to kill Shirou.
He is stopped by Rin, who begs him not to kill his younger self
and erase his existence as a Heroic Spirit, as she has respect
for both Shirou and Archer. Eventually, Archer decides not to kill
Shirou and continues his role as Rin's Servant, reforming their
contract. Finally, during the group's rescue of Shirou from Illya's
mansion, Archer sacrifices himself to stall Berserker in battle
and take away half his stock of lives - but not before entrusting
Rin to Shirou, giving him a few final words of encouragement
before walking to the hero's end he'd always previously
disdained, smiling to the very end.

Shirou, Shirou figured out his identity and challenged Archer.
Archer expected Saber to fight him personally, however Shirou
decided to settle things between the two as the Hero of Justice.
As the fight turns into a clash of their ideals, Archer responds to
Shirou that an ideal amounts to nothing if there is no strength to
back them up and is forced to cut him down. Although he wins, it
is hinted that Archer didn't kill Shirou and continued the Holy
Grail War against the other participants.
His last opponent is Gilgamesh, who asked if Archer requested

assistance for death. However, Archer claims that he is doing
something stupid by eliminating the villain who will burn the
whole city. His original goal was to let Rin win, but he can't allow
Gilgamesh to continue and Archer prevails in their fight. In his
ending, many years have passed and Archer is fighting along
with an adult Rin against an army of Golems. Archer turns out
more cheerful and Rin finds him cooler than in their first
encounter.
In Rin's ending, Rin sealed the Holy Grail and transformed

Archer into a smaller scale of himself. She claims that she
transformed Archer into this form because he didn't help her out
in the war. Archer regrets that he didn't destroy the Holy Grail.

An alternate version of Archer in the Fate/EXTRA universe,

Minamoto No Raikou, Boudica, and Tamamo Cat, as well as
looking after the children servants of Chaldea.
Fuyuki: The Contaminated City in Flames

In First Order Archer was one of the Servants summoned into

Saber Alter, he was blackened along with the other Servants.
After being blackened, he acts as Saber Alter's guardian,
patrolling the burning ruins of Fuyuki and attacking anyone he
deems a threat with his bow.
During this time, he seems to have had several encounters with

Caster, where they fought at long-range with neither being able
to get the upper hand. When Caster teams up with the Chaldea
team, he faces Archer on Mt. Miyama, finally ending their battle
at the Miyama Temple with Caster being the victor.

having to be grouped with him and Mouri Medinari, Chousokabe
states that he wished could've refused to obey as a Servant this
time around. Chousokabe then asks Mouri if she knows what is
happening after she complains that the Holy Grail is being used
for something weird again. Then, after Mouri complains again
about being named after a strategist from Warring States period
that she knows nothing about, he notes that the Grail has made
strange pairings for pairing a grand strategist and the Witch of
Betrayal. Chousakabe then agrees Mouri's plan for him to
ambush Ritsuka, Mash, Okita, and Nobunaga when Shimuza
lures them. Before the group though, he tells Shimuza to careful
about the mini-nobu, which wonders if it's male. Later, Shimuza
succeeds in luring the group to the ambush spot, which
Chousakabe assaults his arrows. After the ambush is
successful, he asks Mouri what she plans to do with the group.
However, when he says his given name along with his allies,
Okita becomes enraged and dons the Coat of Oaths, which he
blames on him being Chousakabe. After he and the others are
defeated by her, Chousakabe states that this incident was
stranger than expected.
Miss Almost Weekly Santa Alter
EMIYA goes on a fishing trip with Robin Hood as a continuation
of their competition since both were equally matched at hunting
in the woods. Unfortunately their contest was interrupted when
David, having stowed away earlier without their prior knowledge,
had steered their ship out to sea due to him wanting to meet the
ladies of Southern Lands. David's decision however leads them
into a storm, and both EMIYA and Robin blame him for their
situation as the ship is torn apart by the storm. They then get
further infuriated with David when he tells them jump overboard
and swim for shore, believing that the ship's weight can withhold
his weight alone. EMIYA then agrees with Robin's decision to
throw David overboard when he begins to recount the tale of
Carneades. Santa Alter then suddenly lands on the ship; EMIYA
remains silent when Robin asks him if he knows her when she
FandomShop mentions himGalaxyQuest
Ad:TrekHistory regarding that a Servant should think of their Find the next show that will keep you bingeing til 2am
Master's safety. However, he and the others fight Santa Alter
when she decides to test David's claim of being the "Most
Victorious King". After being defeated by her, EMIYA asks if
everyone has calmed down now and why Santa Alter had come,
which she answers that she came in response to a Dear Santa
letter. This prompts EMIYA to accuse David of wanting jewels for
his many wives, and chastise him for writing letters to Santa as
an adult. But David asserts that it wasn't him as he sends his
prayers only to God and finds the concept of Santa to be scary,
which makes EMIYA realizes that Robin had sent the letter. He
then refutes Santa Alter's claim that he's too overprotective
unlike Robin's more subtle method of protecting his Master.
After Santa Alter leaves after giving presents to Robin and
David, EMIYA notices that the storm had passed, and is glad
that he won't have to hear the tale of Carneades. He and Robin
then both yell that David hasn't learned anything since Uriah
incident when he asked who was talking about Carneades.
EMIYA then again agrees with Robin's decision to throw David
overboard, but he contemplates David's request for them to form
a team. However, they're interrupted by the arrival of Elizabeth
Báthory, who had came to perform a concert for them as Santa
Alter's last gift to them.
Da Vinci and The 7 Counterfeit Heroic Spirits
Interlude
In his first interlude, Requirements of a Master (マスターの条
件?), EMIYA, Ritsuka, and Mash go to Fuyuki, which he
suspects turned into its present due to the Masters there letting
their Servant run wild without the interference of the Mage's
Association and the Holy Church. After telling Ritsuka to control
their Servants with their Command Spells, he goes to explain
the different attributes of the Heroic Spirits. However, his lesson
is interrupted by the appearance of monsters, which the group
are soon able to defeat. Afterwards, EMIYA goes on to explain
the differences between different Servant classes, but he
interrupted once again by monsters. After killing the monsters,
he tells Ritsuka that Masters and Servants should work together
on equal terms. However, a group of Amazons appear targeting
EMIYA, but they are soon defeated by him and the others.
EMIYA then says that they should return to Chaldea, realizing
that Ritsuka didn't need his lectures since they already have
wonderful Servant with them like Mash. He tells Ritsuka that
they have a long journey ahead of them, and that they'll learn
better through experience, not words. He continues to tell
Ritsuka to go at their own pace, but he soon asked by Mash why
he's being nice to both of them. EMIYA answers that he wants
others known that his Masters succeed, saying that a true
Servant increase their reputation by helping their Master
grow.[17]
In his second interlude, Unlimited Blade Works (無限の剣製?),

EMIYA, Ritsuka and Mash travel to the cavern of the Greater
Grail in Fuyuki due to him sensing a presence within. He then
tells Ritsuka that he purposely seal away his Noble Phantasm
until they were strong enough as a Master, not wanting Ritsuka
to rely too much on Noble Phantasms. After he tells Ritsuka to
defeat the Servant that guards the Greater Grail as proof of their
growth, Mash realizes that he is talking about Heracles, but
monster appear to attack the group. After killing the monsters,
the group encounters the corrupted Hercales, and proceed to
him after EMIYA warns of his multiple lives. After the group
defeats the corrupted Heracles, EMIYA congratulates Ritsuka on
no longer being a novice.[18]
Carnival Phantasm
Archer makes a regular appearance in Carnival Phantasm. Like
in Fate/Stay Night, he is Rin's Servant and often follows her
orders. However, he acts more light-hearted and comical than
his usual self.
In episode

Archer makes his debut in the series during the second half of
the show, though his face becomes obscured or partially shown
when the episode centers around Shirou.

Archer also makes a rather obvious attempt to kill Shirou during
the match, but misses each time.
Archer appears briefly in Episode 8, after Shirou's tendency to

clean dust in the Tohsaka mansion reminds Rin of him.
Archer is the central character of Episode 11. He is asked by Rin

to wait for her and Sakura at the park at 12 o'clock so he could
carry their shopping bags, but Lancer unexpectedly shows up
and talks Archer into becoming a cook for the cafe Lancer is
working at. Archer ends up serving food for Caster, Kuzuki and
Saber. Afterwards, Archer discovers he has missed the deadline
but was already caught cooking by Rin, who praises Archer for
his work.
All Around Type-Moon

Archer appears in three chapters of the manga series All Around
Type-Moon, mainly as a customer of Ahnenerbe. In chapter four,
he is talked into sewing an apron for Neko-Arc by Lancer. In
another chapter, he tries (and fails) to teach Rin how to use a
laptop, which she somehow uses to conjure Servants directly
from the Moon Cell. He appears at the end of another chapter
and has a very brief encounter with Kiritsugu Emiya.

Abilities
Archer is not a regular Heroic Spirit who was revered as a hero,
but instead a Counter Guardian who made a contract with World
for power. He is a Heroic Spirit from the future, so he does not
gain any blessings normally provided by fame. He also does not
possess any actual Noble Phantasms, but his Reality Marble,
Unlimited Blade Works, can be called his Noble Phantasm in a
way. He wears a cloak and mantle set that are first rate
Conceptual Weapons made from the Holy Shroud of a saint. It
does not oppose enemies, but instead the external
environment.[13]
Due to his nature, he has no fame as a hero and he cannot be

recognized by those with knowledge from the Throne of Heroes.
This makes him a confusing existence for the other Servants,
displaying his projection that turns normally important Noble
Phantasms into items that can be discarded and destroyed on a
whim, varied abilities that would normally mark the identity of a
Servant, and contradictory abilities that do not match any known
hero. Lancer believes there should be no Archer with a shield
capable of blocking Gae Bolg, and Berserker thinks that being
defeated in six different ways, all abilities of the highest class,
without learning of the enemy's identity is very strange.
In combat, Archer is proven to easily best Caster and True

Assassin. Caster believed he wouldn't be able to scratch her
within her own domain. But he quickly proved her wrong as he
used two attacks capable of killing her, one of which he warned
her to dodge. While in a fair fight with True Assassin he nearly
killed him having almost sliced his body in half. Which he did all
the while protecting Illya and Shirou. He deflected every one of
True Assassin's attacks even the ones aimed at Shirou and was
able to match True Assassin's speed with ease.
Though Archer possesses weak parameters, he is a powerful

servant regardless of this fact. So he is deemed as a heroic
spirit that's unconventionally strong. This is mainly due to the
fact that Archer can compensate for his weaknesses by refining
what little talents he has. Never focusing on trying to strengthen
what he's weak at but rather by advancing his best abilities to
their absolute limit.
Combat
Due to lacking an actual Noble Phantasm, Archer's basic
abilities are below those of other Servants. His main strength
lies within his versatility and adaptability, shown through his
exceptional use of tactics and battle experience making his
combat style very distinct from those of other Servants. His
strength does not come from natural talent like Rin or Saber, but
instead from single-minded refining of what little talent he had in
life. He had nothing at first, and through improving himself for
reason that he was not extraordinary, his techniques trained by
his will alone reached the point where it is obvious to Shirou that
he should be naturally considered strong. He is not fixated on
the exact method of winning, opening many possibilities not
available to those who fight with chivalry and codes of honor.[19]
Unlimited Blade Works is his sole magecraft, allowing for the

use of Reinforcement and Projection. As a "blacksmith Heroic
Spirit", it includes the “all the elements necessary to shape
swords”, allowing for the replication of Noble Phantasms. All
weapons are copied upon seeing them once, he has thousands
stored as of the Fifth Holy Grail War, and all can be freely
deployed. Many varieties of weapons can be summoned for
melee combat, though he primarily utilizes Kanshou and
Bakuya. Swords can also be summoned and modified to be fired
as arrows and utilized as Broken Phantasms by first utilising
Reinforcement magic to restructure the sword into an arrow,
overloading them with magical energy to generate overwhelming
destructive power which explodes upon contact with a target. He
also has the ability to summon weapons in the air and fire them
like arrows in the same way as Gilgamesh uses his Gate of
Babylon.
He can fight in a variety of ways depending on the situation,

allowing him to match or even exceed other Servants even
without an actual Noble Phantasm of his own. Utilizing Broken
Phantasms requires for the destruction of a Noble Phantasm, so
it is not something able to be utilized by a normal Servant
without sacrificing their strength. Due to him being able to
replicate as many weapons as he wishes, the use of Broken
Phantasms became a trump card available only to him. He can
turn the odds in his favor by assaulting melee Servants with
such long range attacks. Even if he attempts to replicate an
Excalibur-class holy sword, he does not have the magical
energy necessary to bring out its full potential and may simply
end up fading away after using all his energy in a suicidal attack.
Close combat
Though he is of the Archer class, which originally focuses on
long range combat, he is highly accomplished in melee combat
with swordplay and due to his wish to conceal his trump card, he
mainly focuses on melee tactics, primarily utilizing Kanshou and
Bakuya when engaging other Servants. Even when told to fight
seriously by utilizing a bow as expected of the Archer class, he
continues to rush into close combat without intentions to draw
his bow. Utilizing his unorthodox tactics, he is even able to slay
Berserker six times. He will also use other weapons like
Caladbolg II to thrust at the opponent's heart or Durandal to
perform powerful strikes and incorporate martial arts moves,
with particular preference for kicks.
Kanshou and Bakuya are his preferred weapons, and his usage
of them has allowed him to develop a style of fighting perfectly
suited to him. Though he can fight with a single blade, he
generally wields them both at once. The advantage of projection
allows for him to replace swords if they are destroyed or if he is
disarmed. He has no trouble projecting twenty-eight pairs during
a strenuous clash consisting of over a hundred strikes and
constantly being disarmed. His greatest strategy, Triple-Linked
Crane Wings, involves utilizing multiple projected pairs in
FandomShop succession to
Ad:TrekHistory completely seal the opponent.
Ranged combat
Archer utilizes a bow that he
projects when he does make
use of projectiles, which, along
with his armor, is made from a
special material that has yet to
be discovered by mankind as of
the present time. Archer's
Bow (アーチャーの弓, Āchā no
Yumi?) is a matte black,
western-style straight bow, with
a simple design that was
constructed to be resistant
enough to fire Noble
Phantasms. It is a completely
original weapon, a projection
whose structure and
composition is not directly
taken from another hero's bow.
He often uses regular arrows Archer's bow
for quick and accurate attacks
that cost less magical energy
than Noble Phantasms. Their accuracy is spot-on, and their
power is still great enough to bring down houses with a small
barrage released in quick succession. Releasing over a dozen
arrows at once, they are accurately fired at the opponent
whether as a sneak attack or support for another. He is capable
of performing Broken Phantasm shots from various distances,
from hundreds of meters away up to four kilometers away from
the target.
His Clairvoyance, a visual ability also called Hawk Eye (鷹の

瞳?) that affects the accuracy of bows, allows him to execute his
"ultra long-range sniping" precisely even against targets moving
at high speeds as long as they are within a four kilometer range.
With accuracy transcending the realm of men, it is an ability
often used for scouting that is able to fully survey the town
simply upon looking down from a high location. Utilizing the
"must-have ability" of the Archer class, such strikes greatly differ
from his regular arrows, and they are a means to certainly kill
the opponent. Differing from his former Japanese shooting
method, nocking the arrow in the palm of the left hand, Archer
utilizes the traditional European method of nocking the arrow
over the back of the left hand.[20] He is skilled enough to mark
two enemies and fire a single arrow with the intention of striking
both, surpassing the normal rules being unable to alter its
course.
He can make use of specific strategies to defeat opponents from

long range, such as Saber, who would not fall in single combat
easily even inside Unlimited Blade Works.[21] Burdening her with
protecting Shirou and keeping her from utilizing Excalibur, he is
free to fire upon her without worry of being counterattacked and
increase the power each time. If such tactics are unavailable,
such as with Assassin, it is possible that fighting directly may
lead to his defeat.[22] Utilizing sniping can cause him to falter
when suddenly forced into close combat, as returning to his true
method of attack leaves him unable to draw his sword and
respond properly due to focusing on his arrows.
Nasu stated in an interview that Archer would be able to defeat

Rider through range combat as he said "If you think about it,
Archer will win, but at long range."
In Fate/Hollow Ataraxia, Archer used his advantage of long

range combat to defeat Saber. As he was able to snipe at her
from a building many kilometers away. And the only way Saber
was able to defeat Archer was by having Shirou use his
command spell to transport her to Archer's location. So under
normal circumstances she wouldn't've been able to do so, due
FandomShop Ad:TrekHistory
to not being GalaxyQuest
able to close the distance between Archer and her Find the next show that will keep you bingeing til 2am
with her own abilties alone. Though she was burdened by
having to protect Shirou (Avenger) during the fight so it's
undetermined what the outcome of the battle would've been had
she not needed to protect someone else. But it should be noted
that Archer has twice defeated two enemy servants while forced
to protect Shirou himself.
When discussing the terms of a match up between Archer and

Saber, Nasu stated that "It might really depend on the wit of their
masters' not their own in determining who has the upper hand."
Magecraft
Although classified under the Archer class, he was not a
bowman nor a swordsman in life, but a magus at his core relying
on his one spell, Unlimited Blade Works, to fight. Despite being
a skilled combatant, his true unique strength lies within the
manufacturing of weapons rather than their use. His abilities in
life were unremarkable overall, utilizing Reinforcement with
difficulty and the "structural analysis" step of projection more
often than anything else. Only Projection had any worth, having
granted him the many Noble Phantasms and combat skills they
hold. Aside from Projection, he can also use magic detection
and magic resistance, which are considered very basic. He does
not posses the ability to utilize offensive magecraft that work
around the lines of nature interference. His dark skin, white hair,
and gray eyes are a side effect of extensively using Projection
Magecraft.
He has weak Magic Resistance, D rank, that is only the

equivalent of an anti-magic amulet, leaving him only able to
nullify spells of one bar and thus it can easily be overcome by a
relatively strong magus, as his affinity with magecraft is much
worse than Heroic Spirits of ancient times. He may have been a
magus possessing the unusual Projection magecraft, but they
were those who saw magecraft and even Magic as
commonplace. Due to that resulting in his low ability, even spells
greater than two steps can be fatal to him.
Without any support, he is at a serious disadvantage against a

Caster, capable of great sorceries and ritual spells, and even
spells from magi Masters must be watched carefully. When
holding both Kanshou and Bakuya, however, due to the spells of
warding he has crafted over them, his magic resistance is
improved to the point of being capable of deflecting even
Caster's A-ranked spells, though they still pose fatal danger
should they strike him.
Eye of the Mind

Eye of the Mind (True) is a danger-avoidance ability that utilizes
the intelligence collected up to the current time as the basis to
predict the opponent’s activity and change the current situation.
Servants like Lancer and Saber cannot be matched in direct
combat under normal circumstances. They are too fast and
strong for him to last more than a few blows before falling to
their strength, should he take them on without any strategy. He
reads the oncoming attacks and counterattacks ahead of time,
constantly thinking tens of steps ahead in order continuously
prolong his survival by seconds in avoiding blows, parrying, and
striking back without being overwhelmed.
It is "combat logic" that utilizes calm analysis to take information

obtained from the current situation and enemy's abilities to make
predictions, and makes use of his cultivated battle experience to
plan his attack. In spite of danger, he takes consideration of all
possible actions in a particular situation, and if there is even a
one percent chance of a comeback, the ability improves the
chances of success. Although superior to Shirou, the
circumstances of their battle lead to Archer being unable to see
through Shirou's "passion-infused strike which puts 'ideal' on the
line", and he ultimately is struck by it. He does not to answer as
to why he did not block an attack he should have been able to
easily block, and it is possible he does not know the answer.
His nerves of steel, his mind's eye obtained through experience,

is nothing extraordinary compared to Saber's Instinct, but noted
to be the only skill that he possesses, a weapon wielded by a
mortal that anyone can gain through tenacious training. It is the
result of an overwhelming amount of combat experience,
allowing him to see even Lancer's thrusts, fast enough that they
are not visible to even his honed eyes. Though Lancer is far
superior, Archer is able to guide the fight to his advantage
through his experience, utilizing his inferiority as a weapon to
control the attacks coming at him.
Archer battles such opponents by leaving fatal openings,

dodging them and risking instant death instead of slowly being
cut up, which would ensure his loss as the fight drags out.
Through battle, he is able to think of at least thirty ways to "show
an opening", and this allows him to match Lancer's onslaught
without being overwhelmed. Although he should not be a match
because he should only be able to put up a true fight as a long-
range archer and holds no prospect for victory in close combat,
he is able to block Lancer's full force strikes, leaving Lancer
perplexed at the situation and noting Archer's mysterious
strength.
Independent Action
Archer's ability to survive alone is extremely great, displayed in
his high-ranked Independent Action. Independent Action allows
him to act without constant support from his Master, and while
normal Servants fade within hours after losing their Master, he
can last much longer due to the ability. He can also survive for a
short period of time even should he sustain lethal damage to his
spiritual core. Servants of his rank normally have two days in the
world without active support from a Master, but that figure is
based upon maximally conserving energy while also avoiding
battle and the usage of Noble Phantasms.
Archer is able to switch Masters, act independently without a

Master and do battle with ten percent of his abilities left, sustain
ultimately fatal injuries, observe the battle between Shirou and
Gilgamesh in spiritual form, protect Shirou with Rho Aias, save
Rin and Shinji from the mud, and then finally eliminate
Gilgamesh to save Shirou in the Unlimited Blade Works
scenario. His final attack is a regular arrow instead of a Noble
Phantasm, and due to his gradual fading after the attack, it
shows the final limits of his materialization.[1] Even after
sustaining a lethal injury, he is able to survive long enough in the
Heaven's Feel scenario to allow for his arm to be transplanted
due to the ability.
Forms and Alternate Versions

Blackened
EMIYA is blackened in Fate/Grand Order -First Order- after his
defeat at the hands of Saber Alter in Singularity F. He primarily
snipes from afar, guarding Saber Alter and the cavern holding
the Greater Grail.
A version of blackened Archer appears in TYPE-MOON ACE

VOL. 11 with his left eye completely blackened, the red
garments absent and his shirt extending down to his knees like
a waist-cape. This Archer continuously wears a smile on his
face, even as his body slowly disintegrates into nothing. Like the
anime version that appeared in First Order, this Archer primarily
uses a bow.
Blackened EMIYA
Development
The scene "Decisive Battle" in Fate/hollow ataraxia shows
Archer remembering the very first scene of the Prologue of
Fate/stay night with Shirou Emiya summoning Saber, and
though it was meant to show that the Prologue scene was from
Archer's perspective, Kinoko Nasu was surprised when nobody
made the connection.[23]
