Im getting some mixed answers about this. So I would like some help >!Does Archer actually want shirou dead? Or is he just pushing shirou to the very limit to change his ideals. I understand Archers ultimate goal is so that shirou doesnt become Archer so that he can just not exist. But Many people tell me that yes, Archer did want Shirou dead when he got pissed off at the temple. And if so, I just think that he surely shouldve been able to kill Shirou at many different moments? I always interpreted that final fight as Archer accepting Shirous path rather than a genuine combat defeat. Some told me yeah thats true, while others told me no. So I would like your opinion on the matter!<
