Shirou Emiya (Capsule Servant)

Shirou Emiya (衛宮士郎, Emiya Shirō^?) is a playable character in Capsule Servant.

Appearance

Role

Capsule Servant

He, along with Rin, are the two main protagonists that the player can choose. A young Shirou journeys throughout the game encountering and defeating several masters and their arsenals of Capsule Servants.

In the tutorial, he defeats Shinji, who he feels some sympathy for, as Shinji was downgraded from a boss character into a tutorial punching bag. Sakura then appears and tries to avenge him, but Shirou defeats her as well.

G-Sakura ending

Shirou eventually confronts the Matou empire, and along with G-Sakura (who both resents Doctor Tokiomi & has a crush on Shirou), work together to defeat the empire.

Jeanne route

Jeanne d'Arc encounters Shirou while on vacation from France, calling him a young soldier and believing him to be so affected by her holy aura that he couldn’t contain himself and rushed to serve under the Lord's banner. After she boasts about how famous and recognizable she is, Shirou mistakes her for King Arthur, much to her annoyance. While trying to explain her identity, Shirou points out that she quoted Napoleon, irritating her further. Jeanne tries to impress Shirou with her flag Noble Phantasm but Shirou explains that a sword that shoots beams is easier to understand. The two end up battling, in which Shirou emerges the victor. She cries, saying she plans to never come back to Japan.

Seven year later, when Shirou would normally summon Saber, he instead summons Jeanne who wants to become more popular and expresses her annoyance with Saber clones, leading both Shirou and Lancer to repeatedly tell her to wait.

Celebloomers route

After Gilgamesh defeats "Celebloomers", he mocks her for losing and brags that he's superior than her because he has much rarer servants. Celebloomers accepts her defeat, and tells Shirou to become the champion in her stead and get more rare servants.

Bazett route

When Shirou first meets Bazett, he initially mistakes her for a man. Bazett, calling herself "the temp Heroic Spirit FRAGA", explains that she was dispatched by the Heroic Spirit Association in order to save the world from crisis, and that out of all the parallel worlds, the Capsule Servants only exist in this one. After she orders Shirou to give her all of his servants, he is skeptical about her identity and the two end up battling, with Shirou emerging victorious. After Shirou defeats her he promises her that in the next Holy Grail War he'll summon her.

Seven years later, he keeps his promise, summoning FRAGA as Boxer, the Heroic Spirit of the fist. FRAGA beats up Gilgamesh and Lancer. She looks forward to taking on Berserker and being hired as an official Heroic Spirit.

TOHSAKA route

When Shirou first meets TOHSAKA, she remarks that he is vaguely familiar to her before explaining her history and her reasons for becoming a Heroic Spirit. When she mentions potentially destroying the town along with the grail, Shirou resolves to fight her.

After he defeats her, TOHSAKA realizes that it was a mistake to make a contract with the world, and instead decides that it is much more sensible to instead take it over and hire out heroic spirits to other people for a fee. She wrangles Shirou into helping her advertise her new business venture, the pair take to the streets to hand out fliers for the TOHSAKA Heroic Spirit Service, with the younger protagonist deciding it was better not to point out how slimy her plan was.

True Ending

In the last route Shirou and Rin both face off against a baby Caren who appears to be the source of all the conflicts. After Shirou and Rin defeat her and take away her powers, Caren decides to fade away which Shirou disagrees with. He convinces her to come live with him, stating that he would raise her until she'd grow up and that he would figure something out with Taiga. She is later adopted by Taiga and raised as Caren Fujimura alongside Shirou.
