The profile.
Who decided to list the keys, then put every power into a single tabber anyways?
He should have three keys, I'll work for a sandbox on it. Each route has him have abilities and items he does not in others. Before that, however, is me questioning some stuff about the profile.
The minor stuff:
The Big Stuff:
Resistances:
Mostly, as far as I can see, it's assumed he can somewhat resist every effect that people with more magical energy can resist... which I want proof on. Just because someone with 1000 magical energy can resist petrification doesn't mean someone with 10 can.
These being...

The minor stuff:
- Reinforcement shouldn't link to Type Moon wiki.
- Enhanced Senses. For one, this is only through using reinforcement to enhance his sight. It can be done casually, but it should be noted it's an on-and-off skill. Beyond that, when are we told that he can see for kilometers? You can't scale that to EMIYA, dude has trained his magic circuits and himself way beyond Shirou, is a Servant, and thus has far greater physical skills, and his Clairvoyance is a skill that lets him do it (even evolving specifically into Hawkeye in F/GO to drive this point home).
- Most I remember is him seeing Archer from hundreds of meters away, which should work (I'd personally assume it's their connection even then, but it's impossible to prove).
- Not contesting it, but is it confirmed he can use Caliburn to project energy? I thought the point was that he lacked the magical energy to use it like that.
- Why is "breaking" into bounded fields spatial manipulation? You can walk into them just fine. Like, the one the Ainsworth use would be spatial manipulation, sure, but bloodfort andromeda and what Medea deployed don't warp space far as I recall. He gets it through Cadalbolg still, but the explanation for powers matters.
- His lifting strength should be Superhuman. The whole point of it is that it is someone that is superhuman to an unknown extent...
...but only with reinforcement. He finds the idea of lifting one's own bodyweight shocking, and he struggles to help Otoko carry her liquor in Hollow Ataraxia. (That was technically not Shirou, but he was no weaker physically than the original - hell, he'd be stronger by virtue of being six months older)
The Big Stuff:
- Avalon. Why do we list its True Name release abilities? He himself cannot deploy it like that - it heals him, it blew away Angra's curses, it does not shatter into countless dust particles and seal him into Avalon to protect against attacks. Also, no, he cannot just project it flawlessly, we are told that he loses its image as soon as Artoria left him by Word of God, and it likely ties in with his tracing being only able to project EX ranked items if the original user allows it.
- Attack Reflection: You cannot use the Deen anime adaptation for feats.
- Scaling to Kirei. The dude was not as strong as the priest, the vn makes a point to say that he caught Kirei off-guard and won only because of that. Even with EMIYA's arm, he isn't equal to Kirei without projections despite the general boost to his body.
I also disagree with everyone scaling to 9-A, Luvia and Rin are using reinforcement there, it would not scale to their standard AP, but that'll be another thread.
Resistances:
Mostly, as far as I can see, it's assumed he can somewhat resist every effect that people with more magical energy can resist... which I want proof on. Just because someone with 1000 magical energy can resist petrification doesn't mean someone with 10 can.
These being...
- Law Manipulation. Never interacted with any bounded field that enacts hard rules.
- Size Manipulation... I don't know the source of this ability, so it would depend on who resisted it and how Shirou stacks up to them.
- Time Stop.
- Petrification... even EMIYA gets hit with it, and we know everyone with C rank or below gets petrified 100%. In fact, Shirou himself gets petrified in the bad end just fine.
- Holy Manipulation... why would that be something he specifically resists? He isn't any more affected by it than a random dude down the street, sure, but that's because he isn't a wraith or anything like that.
- Purification. See above.
- Death Manipulation. As with Size, don't know the source of it off the top of my head.
- Deconstruction.
- Subjective Reality.
