Why would Shiki Tohno and Shirou Emiya not get along?

Shiki rapes the maid. Shirou is the maid. Ergo . . .

I think its his evil alternate personality that does the raping. I might be wrong, though.

This is just something that's always bugged me. It's been stated that Archer's hair and skin changed color because of his extensive use of Projection. Has it been stated in what way it changed? Like did his hair start to fade to white, or did it just start growing in white? And his skin, did it gradually get darker or start spreading from somewhere? It may be a stupid question, but I just really want to know.
I'm just taking a guess but it known that stress can cause ones hair to start to grow white.
Also the use of circuits increases the bodies temperature and thanks to Archer's troubles with them it could have caused that.Maybe.
Actually, I wouldn't be surprised if it was a side effect of his reality marble; it's known that the belief of humans is capable of physical alterations to people's bodies, which is how demons are created.

There is also the fact that his magic circuits are so low in quality that they take minute damages everytime he so much as channel 10 units of prana through them. Without Avalon to constantly repair his body, the white hair and dark skin may be a side effect of his degrading magic circuits.

IIRC, chanelling ten units of prana is about normal for a magus to channel through each magic circuit; that's how much Rin can do, at least.

That may be, but Rin is also ridiculously talented in addition to having proper training from childhood, where Shirou is a complete failure as a proper magus and was doing everything wrong until Rin realized how screwed up he was and started teaching him the proper way.

From the TYPE-MOON Wiki :

Magic Circuits By Characters

? ? * Average magus: 20 Magic Circuits.

? ? * Aozaki Touko: 20 Magic Circuits. She is the first in the history of her family with so many Magic Circuits. Her parents had none whatsoever and it has been implied that her sister does not have much more than them.

? ? * Araya Souren: 30 Magic Circuits.

? ? * Cornelius Alba: Unknown. Implied to have more than both Touko and Araya.

? ? * Emiya Shirou: 27 Magic Circuits. Each Circuit can barely handle 10 units of prana while being damaged in the process. Considering the amount that he has, such low quality of Magic Circuit is inconsistent.

? ? * Tohsaka Rin: 40 inborn Magic Circuits?and subs that are 30 each. Maximum output is of 1000 units of prana.
See what I meant ? Even if 10 unit of prana is the average, Shirou can only reach that point by overloading his, damaging them in the process.

Basically, I want to get into Fate/stay night. Like, what do you recommend starting with? The visual novels, the anime, or the manga?

The VN, definitely. The anime and manga aren't even close to the VN in quality, and they don't cover all of the storylines from the game.

Or, assuming that you're looking for a torrent (because, let's be honest, I doubt you're going to go out and buy it without even knowing anything about it...), just google for "fate/stay night torrent", or search any of the popular torrent sites for it.

Oh, also, you need the mirror moon patch, which is at mirrormoon.org.

Visual Novel. It's by far superior to the anime and the manga. Try to find the version with the voice-patch already added to it.

Okay, I have a complicated mechanics question. <a href='http://typemoon.wikia.com/wiki/Fragarach' target='_blank' rel='nofollow'>Fragarach</a> vs <a href='http://' target='_blank' rel='nofollow'>Ea</a>. Also please consider if Fragarach is used as a Broken Phantasm, which Ea kindof deserves.

What happen? Fragarach always goes first, right? But Ea is retarded strong.

Using Fragarach as a Broken Phantasm is redundant. Its a one use Noble Phantasm as it is, and is already A ranked.

As for the result, it depends on just what Gilgamesh does with it. If he only used the flames, he'll die to the counterattack and the attack should be canceled.

If he uses it to the extent that space-time is torn, I doubt reversing time will actually be enough to get rid of the big old tear in reality that is going to kill Bazette. However, it may still kill Gil though.

Hm... my thinking was, "why did Kotomine take out Bazette?" If he's the overseer of the Grail War, then all the "intelligence gathering" he did with Lancer was basically superfluous since the Masters were supposed to announce to him that they were participating... and it occurred to me he was taking out a power that he knew could defeat his true Servant, and I wondered if that might have been a big reason to kill her.

Ok, to correct the Fragarach example:

If Fragarach goes Answerer on Ea, then Ea's attack plainly does not happen. There is no space-time ripping leftover, it would be as if Ea was never used. Only NPs like Gae Bolg would be immune to that effect, since the curse has already guaranteed the result.

Mechanism speculation ahead:

(Even with the reversed order, since Gae Bolg was already invoked, it will hit Bazette's heart. Rather, the effect of hitting the heart was already written into fate, so even when Bazette attacks first, her fate was still sealed. It's an interesting situation where Gae Bolg wasn't activated (and it was activated) but it still hit. Or maybe it's something like, because the fate of being hit was certain, the cause was forced back into play. Even though Fragarach might have erased the cause, Fragarach did not erase the effect. Usually, erasing the cause is enough to erase the effect, except for Gae Bolg, it is the effect that is absolute, the cause follows that. If you erase the cause, the effect will just necessitate another cause.)

Anyways, Fragarach as Answerer is A rank. If you BP it, I guess it might become something like A+ rank? That doesn't matter anyways, the point of Fragarach is the whole reversal of order thing.



As for Kotomine, mind that Masters announcing themselves to the supervisor does not mean revealing information about their Servant (other than maybe class). Likely, Bazette was too dangerous to keep alive? (Not in the fearing for his life kinda way but more like his plan.)

I mean, it's not like he knew Bazette has Fragarach (or maybe he does), and it's not like he would be particularly worried about Gilgamesh, but all the same Bazette is a competent magus and she's his equivalent in the MA. He was an executor, she's a sealing agent. Likely whatever plans he had would have been opposed by her, so she was an obstacle.

I sincerely doubt, however, that the main reason why he killed her was because she might have been able to defeat Gilgamesh.

What about Fragarach vs Unlimited Blade Works? Obviously Unlimited Blade Works would contain a copy of Fragarach, so what happens when it's Fragarach vs Fragarach? Do they just shatter against each other?

Well, I know that Fragarach is at max potential A-Ranked but is it always enough to kill a Heroic Spirit? Especially since I recall something about it being only useful when used against the enemy's most powerful attack. Something about it being only D-ranked if not used against a powerful attack.

From Fuyuki wiki:

Fragarach - The Sword of the Gorging War God.
Full name - Answerer Fragarach - That Which Comes Later Cuts First, the Sword of the Gorging War God.

Sword of Retrograde. The ultimate counter-attack weapon. A conceptual curse that warps destiny. A divine trick that uses time as a weapon. Really the equivalent of a bolt of light when used but the extra effect that it makes is what makes it useful. Warps causality to always strike the opponent right before he unleashes his ultimate attack; even if the attack of the enemy is made first, the fact that it happens is rewritten so that Fragarach hits it before. What Fragarach gorges out isn't the heart of the enemy, but the destiny of both user and enemy simultaneously killing each other. The attack of the enemy that's released is wiped out as it's returned into an attack that "couldn't happen," the law of the world, the absolute system of time. After all, no matter how powerful or fast the attack is, it won't do anything because the enemy that is defeated first won't have a chance to attack.
And from Type Moon Wiki

The ultimate form of counterattack, an unavoidable strike carried out in response to an enemyÆs strongest ability. It both kills the enemy and nullifies their attack, creating a perfect balance between offensive and defensive capabilities. However, it a far less convenient weapon than it sounds. It can only be used at full potential against an enemyÆs most powerful strike, otherwise its power is reduced to that of a mere Rank D attack.
I know that it was supposedly able to kill Berserker since his "God Hand" is always activated and thus allows Fragarach to be used its potential but it is ultimately useless since Beserker has you know 12 lives and Fragarach is severly limited in supply.

As for Fragarach vs UBW Fragarach, thats kinda redundant and depends on who uses it first i guess? And even then it would probably only be a D-Rank attack ;p And if Archer uses sword spam, well good game? The only way Fragarach would win is if Archer uses a broken phantasm ;p

Well, I know that Fragarach is A-Ranked but seriously, is it enough to kill a Heroic Spirit?

I'm quite certain its utterly useless against Berserker and expect it to have limited effectiveness against someone with high magical resistance. So who would die and who would not when getting hit by it?
From the wiki:
In the case of Berserker getting hit with Fragarach, he would lose one life unconditionally, seeing that God Hand is always active, while in the case of Lancer's Gae Bolg, both Lancer and Bazett would be killed, as both attacks are unavoidable.
Fragarach's power is based on the attack it's countering-if it's the enemy's best then it's a sure kill A Rank NP otherwise it's only a D Rank NP.
