Shirou Emiya vs Ichigo Kurosaki

[Dat_Dot]

• claps* let us cool down for second to celebrate!

 

[ScarletFirefly]

Also, one second people.
We should all take Knight's example and make matches like this instead of 1 reason + FRA. Applause!

Threads need some hostility to rile people up or call out people on stuff. Before you know it, they're fighting tooth and nail. As long as it's a controlled explosion, everything is fine.

 

[Ramesses_the_Sun_King]

Does it even matter if it is a thousand, a hundred or a dozen? Ichigo still can't dodge them and will die to the first couple of barrages. The only thing that changes, is how many times he'll be skewered.

He needs to run out of magical energy faster for some mana transfers.

 

[ScarletFirefly]

Yeah he needs to get himself some of that Zettai Ryouiki ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

 

[Blanked]

@Scarlet now i am seriously sending her for you.

Tohsaka's **** is defenseless.


Boiii

Please

******* lmao

 

[Blanked]

For some reason in episodes featuring Rin i was never able to follow the plot.

 

[Schnee_One]

Okay, I'm seeing this now and I'm laughing.

Did everyone just randomly forget his blades are omnidirectional? What stops him from shooting blades behind Ichigo?

Also, Shirou doesn't even start in UBW as the OP didn't say, what stops Ichigo from trying to tear him apart before that?

Both sides clearly forgot these....

 

[ScarletFirefly]

Also, Shirou doesn't even start in UBW as the OP didn't say, what stops Ichigo from trying to tear him apart before that?

This wasn't forgotten. I already mentioned they start at a considerable distance from each other and Shirou can project blades even outside UBW with no problem. He stopped dozens of Gil's swords outside the Marble.

 

[ScarletFirefly]

Also @William, Jesus I had forgotten how short her skirt was. Not that I mind though.

 

[Schnee_One]

You didn't, everyone else did.

Also, Shirou has never had the pleasure of using UBWon a moving target that was bum rushing him and not holding back to a ridiculous extent like Gil was, assuming that Shirou doesn't have Ichigo already in his face by the time he activated it shatter KnB and then tearing him apart.

Not sure how well Shirou can hold off a skilled 7A who is already in his face....

 

[ScarletFirefly]

Also, Shirou has never had the pleasure of using UBWon a moving target that was bum rushing him and not holding back to a ridiculous extent like Gil was

The thing is Gilgamesh wasn't holding back with his GoB. He can never beat him with it because Shirou calls his swords much faster than Gil can. That's why he is the perfect counter to him.

And if you think about it, Shirou has had the pleasure of using UBW on moving targets, hundreds of them. Every sword thrown by Gilgamesh is a moving target "bum rushing" him and thrown with the intent to kill, yet he deflects every single one of them while advancing on his own. As a matter of fact, a continuous shower of hundreds of swords from multiple directions at once is a vastly better bum rusher than what a single person can muster.

 

[Schnee_One]

1. No he wasn't, if he was he would have used GoB and place it behind Shirou to kill him before he activated UBW, I'm referring to before he activated it, not in it.

2. Yes, but this is irrelevant, has he ever projected UBW on a target that's charging him?

 

[Burning_Full_Fingers]

Hmm, I never projected that this thread would escalate to the extent it has.

 

[Reppuzan]

@Gar

1) He tried. He failed. Also, Shirou parried weapons from the GoB with KnB, so we should really upgrade his striking strength (not sure if this is 100% anime only though).

2) No, but Archer has, and he's perfectly fine with omnidirectional blade spam.

Also, Noble Phantasms like Gae Bolg do Conceptual Damage.

 

[Schnee_One]

I see.

I didn't mention Gae Bolg though.

 

[Reppuzan]

@Gar

I know, I'm just saying. It's just something to point out since Ichigo's vs. Byakuya feats don't have him running up against Conceptual Weapons.

Also, as Scarlet mentioned, Shirou's aim was refined by his clashes with Archer and he could easily knock out GoB weapons flying at him with weapons from UBW.

 

[Schnee_One]

I mean I'm voting Shirou, so I know this.

That video isn't popping up for me...But I do not remember Gil using the Gate behind Shirou BEFORE he uses UBW.

 

[Reppuzan]

@Gar

Ah BEFORE. I didn't read that part.

But he was underestimating Shirou at the time and was basically showing off Ea, so he didn't have a reason to.

 

[Schnee_One]

And right there you mentioned the problem, Ichigo is willing to kill and not holding back, he is bumrushing Shirou while Shirou is doing the chant.

 

[Reppuzan]

@Gargoyle

There's nothing stopping Shirou from chanting while fighting.

Hell, he doesn't even say most of his aria out loud while blocking Gil's attacks. You're making a leap in logic here.

 

[Schnee_One]

Oh yeah, he can project while doing so.

I was making an assumption, I'm still voting Shirou.

Also, can you....Vote? Literally every time I see you in a versus thread you hardly ever vote.

 

[LukeSky001]

Ichigo willing to kill? I vote Ichigo for a victor of this battle.

 

[Schnee_One]

Not a reason, they're both willing to kill

 

[Blanked]

He can't dodge a getsuga tenshou cause of its Aoe and rho aias will just block what comes in front of him while with shunpuo Ichigo can easily get behind him and spam couple of other getsuga's.

 

[Schnee_One]

"Easily get behind"

You mean in UBW? Nah

 

[Blanked]

Before he uses UBW as he doesn't start with it.

 

[LukeSky001]

Wait, is Ubw on or off at the beginning?

 

[Schnee_One]

It's off in the beginning

 

[Schnee_One]

Before he uses UBW as he doesn't start with it.

He does though

 

[Reppuzan]

I guess I'm leaning towards Shirou? By that might be my Fate bias talking.

Sure, Ichigo outclasses Shirou in pure swordsmanship, but I'm pretty sure copying the skills of everyone else should narrow that gap considerably.

Even if Shirou can't copy Zangetsu, he can still read it to get an idea of everything Ichigo can do.

 

[Blanked]

He does though

Not true. Shirou likes close combat and when he sees a swordsman he won't instantly try UBW.

 

[Schnee_One]

We're all biased, we all like to give good reasoning for why our preferred character would win.

 

[LukeSky001]

He does though

IS IT ON OR OFF? OR-DOES-HE-HAVE-TO-CHANT-IT-FIRST?

 

[Blanked]

He has to chant it. I mean he kinda has to chant it whether he starts with it not lol.

 

[Schnee_One]

He does though

IS IT ON OR OFF? OR-DOES-HE-HAVE-TO-CHANT-IT-FIRST?

He has to chant

 

[Schnee_One]

He does though

Not true. Shirou likes close combat and when he sees a swordsman he won't instantly try UBW.

This was literally the first thing he did when he was able to do so.

Also when the **** did Shirou ever prefer close combat when he wasn't forced too?

 

[LukeSky001]

Then no, sorry, but you can't change my vote. Ichigo wins. Bye
