** Shirou was summoned to a RPGMechanicsVerse with only second-hand knowledge of videogames at best to get by, so he tries everything and anything that comes to mind in order to make the best out of the new options available to him -- and to compensate for the large chunk of his skillset he's currently banned from using as the Cardinal Hero of the Sword. For example, he discovers the EquipmentUpgrade mechanics by telling Jian to "throw money at it" just to see if something happens.
** This is more often {{Subverted|Trope}}, though. For example, Shirou was getting suboptimal results by letting his Legendary Weapon absorb OrganDrops from defeated Monsters until he was told Naofumi separates the remains by type (fangs, claws, hides, etc.) before feeding them to his shield instead of absorbing the bodies whole, allowing the Shield Hero to unlock several weapon forms per type of monster instead of just the one. Somewhat {{Double Subver|sion}}ted because Naofumi figured that one out on his own by trial-and-error as well.

Shirou matches the criteria even less than Naofumi as he's no gamer at all and simply was holding the videogame's hardware at time of the summoning, but his intrinsic affinity with blades apparently made him too compatible as a prospective Sword Hero for the ritual to ignore.

He's also "Sensei" to Rita, "Master" to Firo, "Oyaji" to Motoyasu, and his one-off Adventurer disguise in the Colosseum got called "Kerry" because "Kiritsugu" was a bit of mouthful for another participant.
* PrematurelyGreyHaired: Shirou has white eyebrows and patches of hair despite being only in his early twenties, as a result of looking more and more like Archer as years and battles go by.

It says a lot about [[CrapsackWorld the other world]] that he's completely right about a third of them and at least partially correct about a good chunk of the rest.
** He correctly suspects that the party members chosen by the government are agents in one form or another intended on manipulating the flow of information to and from each of the Cardinal Heroes. This is why he politely declines accepting any, and when that fails, he mops the floor with a few and present himself as a MightMakesRight warrior to give himself an excuse. He them leaves Melromarc alone as soon as he got the money promised to start his adventure, plus an extra to allegedly hire mercenaries.

Sure enough, he notices them requesting a bit of sand from the Hourglass and decides to follow suit, then realizing that feeding a part of it to Jian unlocks a WarpWhistle skill called "Transport Sword". He does quite the EyeTake when he realizes from the skill's description that his Legendary Weapon is now capable of a form of teleportation, which is an act near the level [[LostTechnology True Magic]] on Earth as far as he knows.

This feeling only intensified during the encounter with the Mutated Griffin as she wasn't strong enough to be fully relied on. She makes it a point to prove herself useful as she's afraid that Shirou would abandon her as soon as he can use his Noble Phantasms, scared that Shirou might hate her for taking him from his world and family. It does not stop her from acting smug and teasing Shirou from time to time.

* EvilCannotComprehendGood: More like "TookALevelInCynic can't believe in genuine kindness", but Shirou runs into the problem that he can't help Naofumi because the Shield Hero just won't believe he's not just trying to sucker him in to screw him over somehow. [[spoiler:So Shirou decides to pretend he has obvious self-serving motivations that just happened to benefit Naofumi. For example, at first Shirou pretends to be a demi-human mercenary who wants to take advantage of the Shield Hero's ExperienceBooster blessings by lending Naofumi his party members for some EasyExp while he's busy with "business" in Castle Town, on top of using his Cardinal Hero status to have them {{Dungeon Crawl|ing}} in a government-controlled PeninsulaOfPowerLeveling where mercenaries like themselves aren't normally granted entry. By the end of the next day, Naofumi and Raphtalia went from level 7-8 to the mid 20s, and were left with a ''greatly'' improved how-to of their weapons.]]
* EvilMakeover: [[spoiler:Shirou spared no EvilMakeover trope when it comes to making his "Demon of the Sword" persona as ObviouslyEvil as possible: [[EvilWearsBlack Black]] [[GoodArmorEvilArmor Armor]] EvilCostumeSwitch? Check. Prominent RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver [[MarkOfTheBeast tattoos]] based on Dark Sakura? Check. [[GoodHairEvilHair Good-to-evil]] ExpositoryHairstyleChange and general arrogant demeanor based on Gilgamesh, with an extra of BodyHorror by having ''blades grow from under his skin'' just to give himself HornsOfVillainy? Check. Doing all this, TransformationSequence style, right in front of a numerous, already horrified because he just stabbed the Speak Hero in the back? Holy crap, ''check''.]]

!!Jian/The Legendary Holy Sword
''[[LegendaryWeapon The]]'' [[LegendaryWeapon Legendary Holy Sword]] ''herself''. "Jian" begins as [[BlankSlate little more than the Legendary Holy Sword's operating system and user interface]] just like the other three Legendary Weapons, but slowly GrowsBeyondTheirProgramming and develops a human-like personality. Now she has become her hero's trusted partner [[spoiler:and companion]] in his mission to SaveTheWorld.
----
* BlankSlate: As stated above, Jian starts as this and slowly develops a human-like personality due to Shirou actively talking to her and constantly [[InsistentTerminology feeding]] her Noble Phantasms to copy. As it's often the case with BlankSlate characters, she latches emotionally onto her first person and becomes [[PleaseDontLeaveMe deeply afraid Shirou will find a way to end their contract and go back home]].
* CharacterDevelopment: Jian undergoes one, going from a BlankSlate to a [[EmpathicWeapon girl with]] [[DeadpanSnarker quite the]] [[ClingyJealousGirl personality]].
* MagikarpPower: As the Legendary Holy Sword, Jian has the potential to become very powerful in the long run. This is a ''[[DeconstructedTrope very]]'' [[PleaseDontLeaveMe sore spot]] for her as this also means she is going to [[{{Nerf}} hold back]] Shirou for a long time.
* RobotBuddy: Jian may not be able to move on her own, but she grows so smart at handling the ever increasingly complex RPGElements and features of, well, [[EmpathicWeapon herself]] for Shirou that she counts more as this than just as his weapon. [[spoiler:Played straighter when she learns a specific form of MindOverMatter called "Telekinetic Sword" to move herself around.]]
* SnarkyNonHumanSideKick: Jian grows into one as her ArtificialIntelligence evolves. Shirou has only himself to blame because she picked up her snarky ways from him.

!Main Characters
[[folder:In General]]
* BadassCrew: To the public eye, Shirou has ''two'' of them depending on which one of his main secrets identities were are talking about. The Sword Hero's party, a very secretive group of masked combatants that act more like {{Ninja}} and kick ''major'' ass whenever they do fight in the open during the Waves. There's also the "Mercenary Saints of the Holy Bird", a group of HiredGuns hailed as heroes among {{Demihuman}}s for freeing all the Slave Gladiators of the East Gate Colosseum and escorting them to safety, and for helping the Shield Hero when he needed it the most.
* YoungerThanTheyLook:
** Everyone in Shirou's party is this due to being a demi-human with RapidAging induced by level-gain, or in Firo's case, a [[VoluntaryShapeshifting shapeshifter]].
** Shirou wears a white-haired wig to hide his distinctive red-and-white hair, which makes him look a lot older than he really is. He would've preferred to wear a more common hair color, but he'd have to keep his already white eyebrows dyed to match, thus making the disguise more difficult to maintain. [[spoiler:Rita gets a LuminescentBlush when Shirou loses his wig in a fight and she realizes the {{Age Gap|Romance}} between them is considerably shorter than she thought.]]

!!Shirou Emiya
An OlderAndWiser Shirou [[spoiler:from an {{AU}} True Ending of ''Heaven's Feel'']] with five years of experience as a mercenary/freelance magus to secure funding and knowledge on how to cure Illya's [[YourDaysAreNumbered deteriorating body]]. He is [[InconvenientSummons unwillingly]] [[SummonEverymanHero summoned]] as the Legendary Hero of the Sword three days before Illya's operation to save her life in an RPGMechanicsVerse that make little to no sense to him and is effectively TrappedInAnotherWorld to protect the world from the Waves of Calamity, while being DePowered by his rather [[ClingyMacguffin clingy new partner]], the Legendary Holy Sword itself.
----
* AchievementsInIgnorance:
** Shirou was summoned to a RPGMechanicsVerse with only second-hand knowledge of videogames at best to get by, so he tries everything and anything that comes to mind in order to make the best out of the new options available to him -- and to compensate for the large chunk of his skillset he's currently banned from using as the Cardinal Hero of the Sword. For example, he discovers the EquipmentUpgrade mechanics by telling Jian to "throw money at it" just to see if something happens.
** This is more often {{Subverted|Trope}}, though. For example, Shirou was getting suboptimal results by letting his Legendary Weapon absorb OrganDrops from defeated Monsters until he was told Naofumi separates the remains by type (fangs, claws, hides, etc.) before feeding them to his shield instead of absorbing the bodies whole, allowing the Shield Hero to unlock several weapon forms per type of monster instead of just the one. Somewhat {{Double Subver|sion}}ted because Naofumi figured that one out on his own by trial-and-error as well.
AdaptationalBadass: Shirou had five years after the Holy Grail War and the motivation to improve his Magecraft and develop the ProperParanoia to keep himself alive as a mercenary/freelance magus. [[spoiler:It helps that he's a post-HF Shirou that didn't overuse [[BadassTransplant Archer's arm]], thus allowing his body to slowly adapt to it.]]
* AnimalsHateHim:
** For some reason dogs hate Shirou on sight, which unfortunately includes dog-type {{Demihuman}}s like Keel. Given that this started after the Holy Grail War, Rin came up with the hypothesis that Lancer cursed him like this. When asked why, she said is probably envy due to Shirou's luck with the ladies whereas they were a great source of trouble in Cu Chulainn's life, but they don't know for sure.
** {{Subverted|Trope}} with other canid-like DemiHuman races. For example, [[{{Kitsune}} Rita]] likes him a lot and while he doesn't interact much with [[{{Tanuki}} Raphtalia]], she's very thankful of all the help Shirou has given her and Naofumi.
* FirstPersonSmartass: Shirou is a lot more polite in speech than in narration.
--->Just like the spear wielder, he seemed to be getting some kind of kick out of this. What was it about Lancers and Archers being assholes?
* MasterOfDisguise:
** {{Subverted}}. Shirou can disguise himself pretty well but perceptive people can see through it, especially if they spend some time with him.
** ZigZagged with his "Issei" persona. Shirou makes a convincing act to throw off Naofumi, but even then Naofumi thinks that Sword Hero is an "evil parallel universe version of Shirou".
* TheMentor: Shirou acts as one for the other heroes while in his Mercenary disguise. Well, for [[AntiHero Naofumi]] and [[ChivalrousPervert Motoyasu]] at least. [[ItsAllAboutMe Itsuki's too full of himself to even listen]].
* MysteriousBacker: Naofumi sees Shirou as this to him, helping him out with critical information and letting him copy particularly useful shields and even borrow his high-leveled party members to grind EXP and fight the Waves, but only because however hired the guy [[INeedYouStronger needs the Shield Hero to survive and become stronger]] due to some hidden agenda that Naofumi doesn't particularly care for as long as it continues benefiting him. Unaware to Naofumi, this is actually a {{Subver|tedTrope}}sion because Shirou has no ulterior motivations other than fighting the Waves, going home, and hopefully make the CrapsackWorld he was summoned into a little less so in the process.
* PragmaticHero: Shirou is pretty pragmatic already, but he [[InvokedTrope plays it up]] for the upper brass of Melromarc because it's easier to justify his actions that way. For example, when the Aultcray tells him about the actually FalseRapeAccusation against Naofumi as it was a fact, Shirou figures out that what he really wants to know is whether he would try to defend the Shield Hero, whom the king obviously hated from the beginning. [[TakesAThirdOption Instead of agreeing or disagreeing]], Shirou says that he doesn't really care whether the accusations are true or not, stating that "even scum has its uses" and that his only concern is whether the Shield Hero will do his job once the next Wave will strike or not. He even takes advantage of the fact [[IKnowYouKnowIKnow Aultcray doesn't know Shirou found out the alleged victim was one of the king's daughters]] to comment that the whole incident should have been covered up because a "single raped adventurer" doesn't compare to the thousand of lives that could be lost in the Waves by making the Shield Hero [[PersonaNonGrata too hated to move around]] and level up properly.
* ScrewTheRulesIHaveMoney: In Chapter 26 [[spoiler:Shirou doesn't bother rescuing the gladiator slaves the traditional way and creating plenty of political problems in his wake. Instead, he simply throws 50,000 gold coins (about a third of money he got by basically betting on himself in the arena) at the owner of the colosseum to buy them outright, plus enough Filolials and wagons to transport them. The slaver stops breathing when he sees Firo start to unload that much cash and he moves to comply at once.]]
* StormOfBlades:
** Shirou can do this even before becoming the Sword Hero. He becomes unable to for a while due to the Legendary Weapon rules until gained access to a similar, albeit weaker, family of skills as he unlocks new forms for his sword, starting with [One Hundred Swords] and [One Thousand Swords]. Even then, the new skill scales with his level and stats so that is only temporary.
** He uses the [Ten Thousand Swords] skill to great effect during his first two Waves, as it is a perfect method to kill a large number of weak-to-medium monster en masse before [[ZergRush their numbers can get overwhelming]] thanks to his unerring accuracy with each shot.
** Taken UpToEleven with Shirou's usage of [One Hundred Thousand Swords] to singlehandedly end the wave as described in OneManArmy, though he has to take an SP potion halfway through and leaves him completely drain afterwards because the Sword Hero isn't meant to be able to unlock that skill at his level. Yet Shirou can due to the endless weapons in [[FieldOfBlades UBW]].
** Shirou's [[FieldOfBlades Unlimited Blade Works]] takes even ''[[OvershadowedByAwesome that]]'' [[OvershadowedByAwesome to ridiculous levels]] as [[IAmNotLeftHanded he never lost access to it even after becoming the Sword Hero]], though as yet to fully use it.
* SupremeChef: Right out of the gate, Shirou's highest Stat is "Cooking".
