Let's be honest, "People die when they are killed" lost a lot in translation...

It's an IDIOM, people, come on! A reversal of the sentiment that "He wouldn't die even if you slew him!"

Ahem. Hello, this is Bliss again! Please give a warm hippie-fingersnapping welcome to Shirou Emiya, a self-described Servant of the Saber class. He's not EVER going to call himself just Saber, because the position is taken. By his lover. And, in this game at least, his Master. No, he's not a sub in the slightest, really.

He's also going to be properly paranoid about giving his name until he realizes that the Second Magic is involved and no one has a fucking clue who he is; wouldn't want people realizing that drawing a sword in his presence allows him to go "Hey, sweet sword, can I try it? TRACE ON!" and suddenly have the Made in Taiwan version in hand. He likes swords! (Welcome to the Station.) He likes swords!

Okay, enough of that. Shirou is a VN protagonist, giving me a three-hit combo so far, and very stiff and cordial with people he doesn't know. Please welcome him and his attempts to get ANY food better than brickstuff onto the station.

Clearly he should commission some kind weapon-that-doesn't-exist nega-sword from Roxie, such that when he Traces it he gets what is metaphysically the genuine sword even though he's just copying it.

Ow. My BRAIN.

Or maybe she can build a 30-dimensional sword for him, so that when it goes down by an order of magnitude it's a full-power 3-dimensional sword.

SHIROU! Seriously though it's awesome to have him around.

Happy to be of Service. It's a great canon, and I'm tickled that he might end up less useful than my double amputee character.
