Obviously MOS Shirou with his charming personality and stable mindset will get ALL the ladies
The question does he still have the BAR?
actually meant the abilities of the spear...
As in Shirou can trace a weapon like Caliburn, but can't actually use its laser beam ability
Yes, he traces Gae Bolg and can use it like Lancer, just remember it goes down a grade, but the effects are still the same.
Caliburn doesn't have the laser beam ability, that's Excalibur which according to Nasu's retarded ass retcon he can't trace and use. Despite Archer threatening to do so in UBW and Shirou doing it in the normal end of HF. But whatever.
Caliburn is more like . . . blunt instrument that makes Arturia pretty much unbeatable and less Excalibur's light show. Plus, Arturia likes Caliburn more than Excalibur too. Like if Archer or Shirou traced Caldiblog, not the spiral arrow version, but the real sword, they should be able to do it's beam slash attack with it too. Just Excalibur is a special snow flake, to which I call "Bull shit!".
Well, sure, I understand that, but what if there actually isn't any plausible escape method? For example, if none of us were willing to protect Hakuno right now (or if we just weren't there), what could she do?
If Hakuno doesn't want to die, she could dodge at the last moment. Which is pushing it, but more plausible than say Archer arriving at the very nick of time and shooting the bullet out of the air.
That only makes sense if they know what Gae Bolg is, though, and recognize his preparation. Someone like Rider might, someone who isn't aware of servants etc. surely won't.
You know how pissed off Lancer would have to be to use Gae Bolg like that? He'd rather fight it out than resort to his One Hit Kill. The One Hit Kill isn't as enjoyable.
Lol, I think they all hate him already....
I wouldn't say Forest "hates" him per say, but she may attempt to beat the stupid out of him.
Caliburn seems to be a special exception, probably because it's linked to Saber or something. Other weapons Shirou definitely can use (he uses Excaliblast at the end of HF, and also Rule Breaker).
Plus Caliburn was destroyed before he actually saw it. He was seeing it from a memory, which is different than seeing it in person, but see my explanation on Caliburn.
