Also, Lancer gets one of the funniest conversations of the entire series, when he asks if you are willing to accept his aid, if you answer *with a condition*, you get the most hilarious conversation of the entire series, much at the expense of poor Rin, seeing as the condition was "Keep hands off Rin", Lancer finds the whole situation hilarious, and takes the mick out of Rin for ages because of it.
"A term used towards male characters and individuals who are so overwhelmingly manly that your own masculinity is absolutely *buried*, leaving you naught but a whimpering, swooning girl-child before them."
That's a bacronym actually. It was originally the post "I'm gar for Archer," just a typo. Then people were gar for characters, and then characters were GAR.
Meh. I am a walking enigma. My perfect ideal is constantly shattered. I must endure terrible pain, yet achieve nothing. My ultimate power, requires the ultimate sacrifice. I must give thousands of live to save millions, Or my own life to save billions. Though my body is broken, my mind remains strong My heart lays unwavering My soul carries on untouched refusing to fall, I let the world feel: "Army of Infinite Sacrifice"
No i think someone who is Badass isn't automatically GAR. Being GAR is not only about how much ass you can kick but it's also about the reason you do that and about the odds you are willing to face. Archer for example stood against an overwhelming opponent (Berserker) to allow his Master to escape, and yet he went all out, in order not only to buy time, but to kill Berserker. Even when he realized he had no chance, he smiled in the face of death and tryed to take him down as often as he could.
I'm near the end of Heaven's Feel right now. Shiro still has a long way to go before he becomes as GAR as his future self...in any route. But I like him because he's the GENIUS, that figured out, that "people die when they are killed" XD
Archer was more emo then GAR in UBW but he redeemed himself in the end.
Am I the only one who thinks that Lancer was incredibly GAR in UBW? he fought Archer, Kotomine and Shinji for Rin's sake, and stubbornly refused to die although his heart was pierced.
Well he was a fighter. His wish was always for a great opponent, so I think dieing in battle WAS somewhat of a good ending for him. It's always sad when Lancer kicks the bucket, but at least in UBW I'd say he was happy with how it went and had no regrets. I'm SO looking forward to the UBW Movie and the Lancer vs Archer fight btw. ^^
I feel like all the Lancers are like that... Honorable and respectable in battle; I've yet to see a despicable Lancer. Zero Lancer and Lancer both honor a duel and their opponent. :P
@Wurzelknecht No, you are most definitely not the only one who thought Lancer was gar. It's generally concidered by everyone who played the game that LANCER WAS A FUCKING BRO!
@Wurzelknecht Agreed. But I think the battle between Archer and Lancer was the most exiting one in UBW next to when Shirou fought against Archer to rescue Rin though.
@jeffreyhoon Indeed, another point to know is that his Gae Bolg's true form nearly obliterated Rho Aius, Archer's ultimate defensive Noble Phantasm, in comparison, Shirou's Rho Aius was so powerful it could overturn the difference between Beleraphon and Excalibur to allow Rider to best Saber's insane NP. If Archer as a true servant with more experience has a more powerful NP, imagine how ungodly powerful Lancer's full might is, he is a beast in every way.
Shirou analyzes and projects Berserker's axe-sword and copies his monstrous strength, allowing Shirou to use a variation named Nine Lives Blade Works to kill the corrupted Berserker with nine strikes. He targets and slashes the upper arm, collarbone, windpipe, temple, diaphragm, rib, testicles, and thighs simultaneously at a speed faster than the speed of sound, and then performs a final thrust through the heart to kill him a total of nine times in an instant.

There are 2 versions to the Unlimited Blade Works chant. Basically, the verses said put the caster into a trance and allows them to cast whatever spell, in this case UBW. The lines said vary depending on which version of "Archer" we are talking about, one that believes in his ideals still or one that has abandoned them.
I created my own (though it kinda sucks in comparison to everyone else) I, the harbinger of demise forged by fire,cursed by magic my voice can stop the world's turning unknown to love nor hatred orders i must follow, though i resist the call i pray for my freedom i pray for your death i pray...BRINGER OF DARKNESS meh... i could not think of a name so that's what it's stuck with.
i am the heart of my sword diamond is my body, and rage is my blood i have created over a million blades unaware of feeling nor aware of love never once defeated but million times victorious have withstood heartbreak to create weapons but i did my best this is my all so, as i think, my creation UNLIMITED BLADE WORKS

He is Hercules after all, who is a demigod. Plus there is the MAD Enhancement of the Berserker class, trading sanity for physical power, increasing his already demigod strength and endurance...
And it was Rank B attacks that God Hand protected him from, not Rank A. It also reduced the effectiveness of an attack by around a rank if used on him several times.
I agree with you. Also, I believe his magic resistance wasn't very impressive either. I think that Berserker is one of the strongest, because of the master. Illya's abundant mana supply probably helped to buff his ability. If you read fate/zero, the owner of the Berserker cannot handle the mana consumption of his servant. Berserker seems to be the most mana consuming servant afterall.
Well, the berserker class was created to buff up weaker servants... so it wasn't originally a class. But buffing up an already powerful servant (who uses more prana) was done instead, which is somewhat unfair.
Berserkers are the most "powerful" as far as endurance and strength, but not in other places. Herakles was already extremely powerful and not so smart, so the MAD enhancement (which was immediately activated for him) made him monstrous and pretty much unable to function as a human.
A consistent trait in Shirou's ability when he fires up his magic circuit is that his perception of time slows (practically to the point of time freeze) and his thought process goes extremely fast, so his entire poem can really be completed in less than a split second which explains why he's able to pull off Rho Aias so fast. As it was mentioned, it just seems slow for dramatic purposes.
Isn't that the language of Gods? Being able to cast a spell in split of second even when the chant is long? The Skill Caster has since she lived during the Age of Gods.
No, this is different, this is shirou's thought progress that goes so fast, to the point of masking the moment as eternity (litterally taken, see novel). It all happens in shirou's head. It has nothing to do with divine language, which uses magic 'without' magic cirquit activation. Caster still uses time to mumble the single words of the devine language, for shirou it's instantly. (there is still a lot of difference between instant and a split second)
Last I read, it meant extremely manly, a few prime examples of the GAR I read of include Kamina from Gurren Lagifjf w/e it was called, and the guy from Fist of the North Star. It could mean more than one thing though.
GAR means that the character is so manly, that you would willingly let them have sex with you. The reason being, that all men are like women when compared to them. It's kind of humorous to see people use GAR so incorrectly...
BTW, it started off as being said as "I'm gar for Archer", which was an obvious typo. It was shortened to "Archer is GAR", in case you were wondering how it came about.
why does he chant his spells? no one else does...at least i dont remember anyone else chanting. excalibur was just an oversurge of mana through her sword unleashed in the form of a giant wave/beam of sorts. Couldn't he easily just use his skills with out the chanting? doing so would decrease the time it takes to use it would it not?
Because reality marbles are a very powerful magic, that require an extremely long spell to be casted, or maybe Nasu just wanted to show us his mad poetry skillz
Note the actual spells in F/SN actually do require some forms of chanting and invocation, or at least "magic words". (Caster's high-speed casting ability let her skirt this restriction for her otherwise powerful magic) Something as ham-slammingly powerful as a reality marble requires a LOT. I have no idea why he takes his sweet time with it though. Maybe it's a necessary part of the invocation.
well there are 2 forms of sspelling you understand ? first one is the one archer uses and the second is shirous i know shirou=archer but archer has another way of casting
I could link you/write both Archer's and Shirou's chants if it'd help. My previous post still stands, he mixed in 2 lines of Archer's into Shirou's chant.
The following chant are the words to Archer's Reality Marble. They are somewhat different from Shirō's chant: "I am the bone of my sword. Steel is my body, and fire is my blood. I have created over a thousand blades. Unknown to death. Nor known to life. Have withstood pain to create many weapons. Yet, those hands will never hold anything.
The following chant are the words to Shirō's Reality Marble. They are somewhat different from Archer's chant.
Shirō's version of Unlimited Blade Works I am the bone of my sword. Steel is my body, and fire is my blood.
I have created over a thousand blades. Unaware of loss. Nor aware of gain. Withstood pain to create many weapons. Waiting for one's arrival. I have no regrets, this is the only path. My whole life was "Unlimited Blade Works."
Doesn't ANYONE get it?...*sigh* Archer IS Shiro....so saying they each have their own version is pointless both are Shiro's versions ones from present ones from past. You can call yourself a fate freak all you want but making it sound like they are two different people will make you less of a fate freak because they are one in the same person form two different times. or dimensions or however you wanna put it.
It is true Archer IS Shirou - yes but the chants ARE two as well depicting their different ideals archer may be Shirou but he always lamented becoming a guardian while Shirou doesn't and won't regret anything, there by his chant has "I have no regrets, this is the only path"
Yeah, but Archer split off from Shiro at some point - clearly he's changed the past to some degree, so although Archer may be the future version of *A* Shiro, it's not the same one covered in F/SN (otherwise he would have used Caliburn on Berserker in the Fate path, and taken more of his lives). Who knows, maybe his time-traveling accomplishes his goal in all the paths.
Plus, it's just much more convenient to refer to them as different people.
i wonder....why did he decide to go time traveling....what was the purpose in all of that? i know he wanted to change what he did but.....he couldn't have found another way? why not fight in the grailwars again and just make the wish to change the past? it's kind of weird way to go when you think about it you know?
and on a side note....what would you actually call archer......whats his name as an epic spirit? did he change his name? did he keep it shiro? and why did he choose archer as his class? or is that determined by you're abilities when you were human...so many questions they dont answer that i want them to answer....T.T
He is just know as the heroic spirit Emiya, also one cannot chose his own class, the Grail determines it, he was summoned as Archer because one of his main attacks is to project other hero's Noble Phantasms ant then shoot them with his bow.
ok then his class WAS determined by his skills as a human and maji i knew it! :D
hmmm what would tohsaka be? sorceress? ....probably
i woulda guessed that shiros class would be saber seeing as he may have the ability to THROW their noble phantasims at them but he can also weild them with his hands. hence archers stubborness at holding his two blades and fighting close combat. and his unlimited blade works...you would think with all that he woulda been saber class...meh what can you do
Archer isn't nearly good enough to be a saber-class servant. He goes melee against Saber and gets stomped. One of the traits of the Archer class is substandard stats, and making up for that with skills.
And Archer knows the Grail can't change the past. Not the way he wants it to. Angra Mainyu sees to that.
No he didn't say that. But Rin and Shirou found something out and clearly said in the game(UBW route and Fate Route).Shirou to Saber: "Archer defence is out of the world yet he didn't block your attack." Rin: "You recognize her don't you? That's why you didn't block her attack."

Nor known to villany
Have withstood the pain of living a false life
But I shall strike once again
To protect my loved ones
So as I slice....7 DYING NIGHTS

Casters need suport.that is why Berserker exists..but then again they are pretty much monsters on their own right..

.... No, this is not why. Berserker class was created to allow weaker spirits to be pumped up.

But Lancelot from Fate/Zero was much more intelligent, so he was still able to use his mind under the MAD enhancement to some degree.

Berserker is cheap as fuck..I mean 12 lives..all A-class attacks and less can´t harm him and he can´t be killed by the same way twice..
OmegaChosen0 2 years ago 2
He is Hercules after all, who is a demigod. Plus there is the MAD Enhancement of the Berserker class, trading sanity for physical power, increasing his already demigod strength and endurance...
And it was Rank B attacks that God Hand protected him from, not Rank A. It also reduced the effectiveness of an attack by around a rank if used on him several times.
JaftenLKA 2 years ago
I agree with you. Also, I believe his magic resistance wasn't very impressive either. I think that Berserker is one of the strongest, because of the master. Illya's abundant mana supply probably helped to buff his ability. If you read fate/zero, the owner of the Berserker cannot handle the mana consumption of his servant. Berserker seems to be the most mana consuming servant afterall.
modenkid 2 years ago
Well, the berserker class was created to buff up weaker servants... so it wasn't originally a class. But buffing up an already powerful servant (who uses more prana) was done instead, which is somewhat unfair.
Berserkers are the most "powerful" as far as endurance and strength, but not in other places. Herakles was already extremely powerful and not so smart, so the MAD enhancement (which was immediately activated for him) made him monstrous and pretty much unable to function as a human.

New Class-GARcher

ROFL you've just made the right word XD

Everyone is GAR for Archer
OmegaChosen0 2 years ago
A consistent trait in Shirou's ability when he fires up his magic circuit is that his perception of time slows (practically to the point of time freeze) and his thought process goes extremely fast, so his entire poem can really be completed in less than a split second which explains why he's able to pull off Rho Aias so fast. As it was mentioned, it just seems slow for dramatic purposes.
rydendm 3 years ago
Isn't that the language of Gods? Being able to cast a spell in split of second even when the chant is long? The Skill Caster has since she lived during the Age of Gods.
LancerFIN 2 years ago
No, this is different, this is shirou's thought progress that goes so fast, to the point of masking the moment as eternity (litterally taken, see novel). It all happens in shirou's head. It has nothing to do with divine language, which uses magic 'without' magic cirquit activation. Caster still uses time to mumble the single words of the devine language, for shirou it's instantly. (there is still a lot of difference between instant and a split second)

...Do you know what GAR means?
uDaOzzy 3 years ago
Last I read, it meant extremely manly, a few prime examples of the GAR I read of include Kamina from Gurren Lagifjf w/e it was called, and the guy from Fist of the North Star. It could mean more than one thing though.
OnyxWind 3 years ago
GAR means that the character is so manly, that you would willingly let them have sex with you. The reason being, that all men are like women when compared to them. It's kind of humorous to see people use GAR so incorrectly...
BTW, it started off as being said as "I'm gar for Archer", which was an obvious typo. It was shortened to "Archer is GAR", in case you were wondering how it came about.
uDaOzzy 3 years ago
I don't wanna say that your sources are wrong, I will assume that there are multiple meanings for this term. But your meaning makes sense too.
OnyxWind 3 years ago
It certainly bugs me that Archer can summon his reality marble with only using three verses while Shirou used the hole poem against Goldy Boy.

I believe this is the same music from the original visual novel. I think it's in the anime as well. Still good though.

hmm ok next question lol
why does he chant his spells? no one else does...at least i dont remember anyone else chanting. excalibur was just an oversurge of mana through her sword unleashed in the form of a giant wave/beam of sorts. Couldn't he easily just use his skills with out the chanting? doing so would decrease the time it takes to use it would it not?
SilverNirvash 3 years ago
Because reality marbles are a very powerful magic, that require an extremely long spell to be casted, or maybe Nasu just wanted to show us his mad poetry skillz
BlackSalamander 3 years ago
hmm maybe lol. but wouldnt goign out of your way to chant the words take even longer?
SilverNirvash 3 years ago
Cos its GAR.
solopy567 3 years ago
Note the actual spells in F/SN actually do require some forms of chanting and invocation, or at least "magic words". (Caster's high-speed casting ability let her skirt this restriction for her otherwise powerful magic) Something as ham-slammingly powerful as a reality marble requires a LOT. I have no idea why he takes his sweet time with it though. Maybe it's a necessary part of the invocation.
Venatius 3 years ago
He skips the words in the visual novel. And the reason he takes his time is just for dramatic effect, plain and simple.

The Fate freak in me must correct you. Its:
Unaware of loss
Nor aware of gain
Not "Unknown to death nor known to life"
You got Archer's mixed in with Shirou's.

I could link you/write both Archer's and Shirou's chants if it'd help. My previous post still stands, he mixed in 2 lines of Archer's into Shirou's chant.
And now I'm done with my nerdgasm.
VanquisherX 3 years ago
The following chant are the words to Archer's Reality Marble. They are somewhat different from Shirō's chant: "I am the bone of my sword. Steel is my body, and fire is my blood. I have created over a thousand blades. Unknown to death. Nor known to life. Have withstood pain to create many weapons. Yet, those hands will never hold anything.
So as I pray, "Unlimited Blade Works."

Doesn't ANYONE get it?...*sigh* Archer IS Shiro....so saying they each have their own version is pointless both are Shiro's versions ones from present ones from past. You can call yourself a fate freak all you want but making it sound like they are two different people will make you less of a fate freak because they are one in the same person form two different times. or dimensions or however you wanna put it.
SilverNirvash 3 years ago
It is true Archer IS Shirou - yes but the chants ARE two as well depicting their different ideals archer may be Shirou but he always lamented becoming a guardian while Shirou doesn't and won't regret anything, there by his chant has "I have no regrets, this is the only path"
HiddenRain 3 years ago
......ooooook...............um....where did my post go? did someone delete it? thats pretty rude if you ask me
SilverNirvash 3 years ago
Yeah, but Archer split off from Shiro at some point - clearly he's changed the past to some degree, so although Archer may be the future version of *A* Shiro, it's not the same one covered in F/SN (otherwise he would have used Caliburn on Berserker in the Fate path, and taken more of his lives). Who knows, maybe his time-traveling accomplishes his goal in all the paths.
Plus, it's just much more convenient to refer to them as different people.
TheMadLiteralist 3 years ago
i wonder....why did he decide to go time traveling....what was the purpose in all of that? i know he wanted to change what he did but.....he couldn't have found another way? why not fight in the grailwars again and just make the wish to change the past? it's kind of weird way to go when you think about it you know?
SilverNirvash 3 years ago
and on a side note....what would you actually call archer......whats his name as an epic spirit? did he change his name? did he keep it shiro? and why did he choose archer as his class? or is that determined by you're abilities when you were human...so many questions they dont answer that i want them to answer....T.T
SilverNirvash 3 years ago
He is just know as the heroic spirit Emiya, also one cannot chose his own class, the Grail determines it, he was summoned as Archer because one of his main attacks is to project other hero's Noble Phantasms ant then shoot them with his bow.
BlackSalamander 3 years ago
ok then his class WAS determined by his skills as a human and maji i knew it! :D
hmmm what would tohsaka be? sorceress? ....probably
i woulda guessed that shiros class would be saber seeing as he may have the ability to THROW their noble phantasims at them but he can also weild them with his hands. hence archers stubborness at holding his two blades and fighting close combat. and his unlimited blade works...you would think with all that he woulda been saber class...meh what can you do
SilverNirvash 3 years ago
Rin would be Caster.
Archer isn't nearly good enough to be a saber-class servant. He goes melee against Saber and gets stomped. One of the traits of the Archer class is substandard stats, and making up for that with skills.
And Archer knows the Grail can't change the past. Not the way he wants it to. Angra Mainyu sees to that.
bwubwubwu 3 years ago
Not so. He let Saber slash him because he felt guilty that he cannot save Saber during his time.
Aziziesp13 3 years ago
He never says that, don't start making up theories, k?
BlackSalamander 3 years ago
No he didn't say that. But Rin and Shirou found something out and clearly said in the game(UBW route and Fate Route).Shirou to Saber: "Archer defence is out of the world yet he didn't block your attack." Rin: "You recognize her don't you? That's why you didn't block her attack."
