Name Order?
It's come to my attention that several people's names are in an odd order here. While perfectly understandable for the western characters like Waver and Kayneth, but Shirou being Japanese shouldn't his last name be put first like Kiritsugu and Ryuunosuke? Hawkeye2701 12:23, April 3, 2012 (UTC)
- It's pretty common on english language wikis to present things in our standard given THEN surname order. I understand the desire to be faithful to Japanese, but if we were utterly about that we'd be typing in kanji and not romanizing them anyway. Better to use english order, then make a note about the order being reversed (and kanji spelling) afterward. +Yc 15:49, February 9, 2013 (UTC)
Shirou's Magic Circuits
- "Once his real Circuits are awakened, he goes through extreme pain and suffering as his nervous system gets used to the new intake of energy. This leaves him with weak Circuits that can barely handle ten units of prana each."
When is it ever said that Shirou's circuits were degraded because of his earlier mistake? --Junky (talk) 05:26, July 13, 2012 (UTC)
- I've edited the section to reflect what I said since I cannot find any proof of that rather misleading paragraph that implies his old method of training caused his weak circuits. Please show evidence if you are going to reverse the edit. --Junky (talk) 02:32, July 14, 2012 (UTC)
Shirou
Does his given name here mean "white"? Can't help but think of w:c:KNJ:Shiro and stuff. +Yc 15:49, February 9, 2013 (UTC)
Enemy
what does "This is only for info stated in the official profile" mean? The source only says Kotomine is his enemy. Sandubadear (talk) 11:26, October 31, 2014 (UTC)
- I assume it's in the studio Deen's Fate/stay night animation book but I need someone to verify this source. Nikonu (talk) 11:30, October 31, 2014 (UTC)

- Yeah and so is Archer. Those two are definitely his enemies.Palantian (talk) 23:46, February 27, 2015 (UTC)
- No Pal, Archer is actually only his enemy in UBW. But in the Majority of the Routes, It is Kotomine who is the Main enemy.Shawn Warrynn (talk) 23:51, February 27, 2015 (UTC)
Name Crisis
Okay there has ben some confusion going around regarding Shirou's Name. In the past few months, people have been claiming that his first name isn't his original first name. Now while it is obvious that he gets his surname from his adoptive father, it is now debated whether his first name is his original first name. Now from what I've learned the problem first arised when Wikipedia wrote the following:
"His entire family died in front of him and Shirō lost his sense of self-worth as well as all memory of his life before the fire, including his real name, due to the trauma he suffered."
"
He was saved by Kiritsugu Emiya, who adopted him and named him Shirō."
And now there has been some debate. With that said I felt that it would be best to consult some professional help. Seeing as it is that we can't seem to contact much less interview the creators at Type-Moon, I felt it best to consult the the people who run their Wiki/Wikia.
Now then, I ask you Is Shirou's first name Shirou or was it given to him by his adopted father Kiritsugu Emiya?175.143.152.149 13:40, April 8, 2015 (UTC)
