Another one
Yet another one from another person"Gudao survives because he make connection to Servants so they want to save his ass at first, then by using Shadow Servants."
Literally Rin helps Shirou out because she has feeling for him and saves his life and he bonds with Saber (albeit how much depends on your choices in the game).
So this is glazing of FGO protagonist to absurd degree and double standard. The same thing could be said about FGO protagonist X100 given how many times he was saved because some servant took pitty to him (salome in Traum for example), found him to his/her linking with little interactions (quetzalcoatl), aided him out of nowhere (Charlotte, Sitonai and Napoleon) , or were just pawn in their plan (Merlin). And those are just drop in a tiny sea of plot contrivances that saved protagonist from dying when they were about to die such as black barrel (they die without it on multiple occasions such probably Zeus and other Olympian gods) or Nano-machines to name just a two among many.
It's easier to fight a servant when you have servants summoned by the land aiding you, tons of plot devices including divine spirits, Chaldea resolve supplement energy, and so on, and find yourself in an environment equivalent to the amount of energy of the age of god or greater and even capsules that replenish energy, are given mystic codes by Chalde and so on. If Shirou, a poor magus, struggles, then the protagonist of FGO, who has awful circuits to the point he significantly weakens his own servants, the protagonist of FGO, will be struggling too without Chaldea or other circumstances resolving the energy issue equally likely even worse due to such awful circuits. Remove Chaldea from equation, divine spirits, mystic codes, ampules and anything affiliated with Chaldea and FGO protagonist chances of surviving plummet in fifth holy grail severely.
And yet another one from yet another personRitsuka doesn’t have any inherent powers and his stats are absolutely abysmal. It’s literally canon that he’s Waver level which is well below average for a mage. Meanwhile Shirou is a servant level fighter who can beat Gilgamesh in close quarters before even scratching his ceiling. Ritsuka isn’t remotely strong by himself, much less comparable to one of the only modern day mages that can box with servants. Ritsuka doesn’t have anything inherently unique about him and it’s literally a plot point that his plot armor comes from him being an average joe without any strengths.
One extra for @Xhominid The ApexGudao won them is the same as shirou winning the HGW. Not once both them soloed anything which you keep claiming. Its wank because you're overplaying how strong shadow servants are when canon lore stated they are weaker than actual servants. You mentioned Traum and you're arguing Guda will solo FSN when they never soloed Traum? Your argument makes no sense. Your arguments that guda soloes anything just using shadow servants is nonsensical. "Grand servant" tez cant even beat a weak olga marie."Grand servant" tez isnt gonna solo anyone in fsn. Delusional
Tell me you at least read HA to know Shirou can even get along with Gilgamesh and Medea in the right conditions. You saying that piece of cardboard you love just works in FGO assuming Shirou would be in his position nothing changes because Ritsuka "charisma" is just the self-insert "guy for the job thing" Yeah the same applies with Hakuno because the game would end the moment the servant say F you to the master.
