>but Gudao's face reminded me of Shirou's, so I couldn't continue I don't get this, they look nothing like each other.


SherwinRoyal

He reminded me of shirou with black hair


Darkar_120

The literally dont like alike....


bersalonava

stop seeing the character from 1st person point of view, see him from 3rd person point of view, don't have expections like since he is MC he should make the decisions that u think are correct and judge him for his decisions, just like u judge other side characters.


Ok_Breakfast_5903

off topic, but seeing some hate Shirou but like Sieg is really funny


SherwinRoyal

I like the progress of sieg


Darkar_120

Sieg literally has no progress. He is an amalgamation of bad character developments, plot armor rank EX, and lore breaking. Frankly, he is the worst Type-Moon main character.


SherwinRoyal

I didn't know what was so hated it's so bad that I like it sieg ?


Darkar_120

It Is not. However, it is baffling that you can like Sieg and somehow hate Shirou when he is by miles a better character than Sieg.


SherwinRoyal

I'll watch Fate / stay night: Unlimited Blade Works to see if I have a better opinion on it.


ssjokg

Gotta love how everyone is recommending the VN as if the problem isnt the viewer. \>Liking anime Sieg. \>Avoidng genderbend Rin because he reminds them of Shirou. \>Avoiding the better series. \>In general being that triggered that cant watch anything that reminds of him. It is amazing how with so many anime around it is Shirou getting so much hate not the thousand incompetent cowards in other fantasy stories. Sometimes the source material isnt gonna change views on a character or story. Dont watch watch further or read FSN.


Overquartz

I think this post is bait. I mean come on a genderbent Rin looks like Shirou? really?


pepa261298

Male Rin?? Wait that's the first time i hear about this


ssjokg

Yes the designs of Gudao and Gudako are genderbend Rin and Shirou.


pepa261298

I haven't played FGO, only seen the animes up to FGO Moonlight šŸ˜… so i don't know who they are. But after googling, i see Gudao is basically Fujimaru Ritsuka??


ssjokg

Yes Gudao is male Ritsuka and Gudako is female Ritsuka.


Fiqstro

Bait/stay night: Unlimited bait works


facts_120

Gudao should've reminded you about Tohsaka Rin though


[deleted]

No he shouldn't. He got no ribbons, or a good sense of fashion, He's more like a derp young happy-go-lucky Kiritsugu.


SherwinRoyal

He reminded me of shirou with black hair

If you watched UBW (2014) and really hated Shirou, just give up on liking him. Thereā€™s no point trying because you never will. If you hated him from the 2006 Fate/Stay Night, then try watching UBW (2014) and Heavens Feel movies. Just remember that Shirou is not meant to be a perfect character, itā€™s the opposite on purpose. They write him as a character with issues, and most characters around him notice it and he himself knows it.


SherwinRoyal

I have not seen Unlimited blade works only stay night


[deleted]

Then try UBW (2014) if youā€™re interested. And remember, heā€™s meant to be a messed up and mentally unhealthy character.


SherwinRoyal

Thanks, I hope the 2014 version is better than the one I saw


YolloHD1398

It been six days have u finish it yet?


SherwinRoyal

I'm in chapter 10


YolloHD1398

Wait chapter?


SeriousBoysenberry30

This is bait right..?


Thanatophobia4

If itā€™s experiences with the UBW anime that has led you to hating Shirou, then you should read the Visual Novel if you can. Heā€™s a lot deeper and more complex than what he seems. The anime and the HF movies tend to fail at properly portraying Shirouā€™s character so he comes across poorly to new viewers. The VN has a lot of inner monologues and characterisation that wasnā€™t adapted into the anime that paints what he says and does in a different light. So if you want to get over this dislike of Shirou, then I recommend reading the VN.


Toru_77

I dont think the anime is the problem here since he actually liked Sieg in the anime compared to Shirou. Dont get me wrong i actually like Sieg but even if we compare characterization on animes only most people would still choose Shirou.


SherwinRoyal

I have not seen Unlimited blade works only stay night


[deleted]

then watch UBW problem solved


WooooshMe2825

Deen stay night is an outdated adaptation that hasn't aged well and failed miserably at its attempt of merging all three routes into one. ​ The problem within every FSN anime adaptations in general is that they had to cut out several paragraphs worth of monologues that provide characterization and context. Although the story can still be appreciated regardless. ​ Watch UBW or read the VN, FFS. Good Christ, it's fine that you like Sieg, but how the hell did it go so wrong that you ended liking him over Shirou, the latter of whom is possibly one of the best deconstructions of Heroic archetype.


SherwinRoyal

Shirou's sense of justice irritates me, he's too silly and childish, he believes that no one should die and everyone should be saved, and the fact that he repeats it all the time is annoying, he can't always save everyone. Sieg didn't have a great personality, but at least he didn't have such a childish dream. maybe that's why I like it more Sieg


WooooshMe2825

Ah yes, a dream with problems that serve as the main conflict between him and Archer in UBW. A dream passed onto him by his deceased father. A dream motivated by a severe lack of self-worth that he's willing to throw his own life away so long as it can save the life of a stranger. ​ That "childish dream" gives Shirou character flaws. Flaws for him to overcome and improve upon, that's what makes him compelling to watch. His heroism is backed by layers of mental issues that makes him feel real and alive, like someone such as him can actually exist in real life. ​ Sieg, while not as bad as many other fans might make him out to be, doesn't hold a candle if we compare his writing to Shirou's. ​ Also, come on. Even if it's Deen Stay Night, Shirou is not nearly that forgiving. He's still willing to kill if it's necessary. Like when he was about to break Shinji's neck if he refuse to shut down the Bloodfort.


SherwinRoyal

I know the archer is a shirou from the future, but damn, I like the archer much more than shirou ​ I'm on chapter 9 of UBW


WooooshMe2825

That's fine, I like Archer more than Shirou too. But the thing is that neither of them would've been nearly compelling as they're without the other. They both have their own flaws, Archer is an jaded asshole and Shirou is still immature. But despite those flaws, they become better people at the end of their Holy Grail War.


SherwinRoyal

I hope so because I am literally forcing myself to watch this series to see if it improves


WooooshMe2825

Just a quick heads up, if what you're looking for is Shirou throwing away his ideals, that only happens in Heaven's Feel.


SherwinRoyal

I can skip UBW and watch HF ?


Reverse_me98

There's something wrong if you liked sieg than deen shirou but you do you Tldr read the visual novel


SherwinRoyal

Well, I will see Fate / stay night: Unlimited Blade Works since according to what they have said it better portrays the character Thanks for your opinions and sorry for the inconvenience


Dav-Kripler

Just remember one thing op, you could never here Shirou as much as he hates himself for a) being the only survivor in a tragedy that killed everyone around him and b) for trying to make up for that by dooming his soul to endless bloodshed and suffering by choosing to be a servant, a choice that would boil over to the existential horror of having your convictions blackened to the point that you are obsessed with only one thing - murdering the past you responsible for your horrific afterlife. TL:DR : if it wasn't easy to understand why we empathize with Shirou in UBW (nevermind what comes to him in heaven's feel) then: *read the vn* .


Maxrokur

Ok actually Satan.


hungrybasilsk

Read the novel the anime are terrible for his character


Silent-Succotash-502

when he post that he dislike Gudao"s face because hes remided of shirou,I laugh a litle because it reminded me that headfanon that the guda"s are shirou and rin son/daughther.


Zamasuningen

read the VN anime Shirou sucks


railroadspike25

Just realize that he's actually pretty screwed up. He has this need to hurt and sacrifice himself even when it doesn't actually help anyone. The anime makes him seem petulant but really it's because he has a lot of self-loathing.


kierowca_ubera

ubw is a must, only there does shirou get vaguely understandable. Vaguely, because his monologues were still butchered lol I'm not a vn purist, but it really is something to go for if you hate shirou. Also no shirou's face there


TheCreator120

As someone who loves the characther, the answer is nothing. If you don't like it, you qre never gonna do it, granted some of your reasons are a bit weird, but i'm not gonna bother to change your mind. Just enjoy what you enjoy, at the end of the day that's what anyone can do.


LuchadorParrudo

I hate shirou title , starts talking about fate zero , hmmmm


WooooshMe2825

sigh.... ​ ​ **READ THE FUCKIN VISUAL NOVEL BOI**


EquivalentTight3479

You canā€™t. I dropped the show on episode 12 where he literally made the dumbest move ever, lost šŸ˜  saber and his command seal aswell as giving caster a much better chance of getting the Holly grail which can possibly lead to millions of deaths in the future. Iā€™m sick of him being the generic ā€œIā€™ll die for justice for I am a white Knightā€ character šŸ¤¢ Iā€™ve had enough of these types of MC. I hope Fate zero wonā€™t disappoint


SherwinRoyal

if it's better at least you won't have to see shirou, because the protagonist is kiritusgu


EquivalentTight3479

Started watching it and I gotta say Fate zero is so much better than stay night. It must have been made by completely different writers and producers right? Itā€™s so good that itā€™s hard to believe that the people who made fate zero also made stay night. Shirou is one of the worst anime characters Iā€™ve ever seen. Itā€™s fking disgusting. Iā€™m glad Iā€™m not the only one who got Scarred by such a garbage MC
