>>132816558>>132816754>>132817044When you see two dogs fighting, it's natural to bet that the larger and stronger dog will win.
But a funny thing happens when the smell of blood hits the air; They're suddenly evenly matched, when the little dog faces death, he fights harder than he actually can, because the alternative is oblivion.
When you put your life out there, strength is only necessary on a order of magnitude: everything else is simply "How much will I invest here?"
Evoke the meaningless platitude "What would you do if you could not fail?", but turn it on its side: "What would you do if you must not fail?"
The answer is anything, everything, even the things you never thought you had. This is why good strong fighters die every day to wimps who couldn't afford to lose.
I'm going to skip the nihilistic tripe you posted afterwards however for the sake of rational thought; You should know better than to abuse your capacity for rational thought to besmirch the same.

Shirou admits he'll might end up as bitter as Archer, and he cannot save everyone. He can still save people though, which is all he really wants, even if it's another's dream and even if it cannot be attained.
The next break in logic is "What use is it being a savior if there are people who cannot be saved?" and that's why the next route is Heaven's Feel: I know I can save some of them, but I insist on saving this one.
