for Misadventures of a broken Sword4/29/2020 c8 AvgustSk
Ye umm. Like the trashiest DxD antagonists in the beggining of the anime are goddamn going toe to toe with noble phantasms tell me that Shirou is nerfed to high heaven. Can't take nerfing too much. It's bad for me. Shirou unable to use a bow? Seems little too much of a grab towards him having flaws with archery as he has archers bow. alAnd mocking with the traced phantasms being paper mache compared to normal non-magical-phantasmal swords. Shirou has a better chance of winning with modern day non magical swords than phantasms in this fic.

Oof, that hit him hard. I've seen a lot of different versions of Shirou reacting to the broken Excalibur and I have to say... I think tears are far more fitting than anger. Though now he's going to have both the devils and the exorcists wanting to question him regarding copying Destruction. Heh, and he already gave them all the clues necessary for them to already know he could do it. It just never occurred to them due to their own bias stating that the Excalabits are so fundamentally different from Kanshou and Bakuya that there was no way he could copy them. :D I'll be curious to see what his predicament is after he wakes up.
Also, that was kind of a jerk move on Sona's part with setting him up. If it was anyone else but Shirou they would have been much more upset about getting pseudo kidnapped by a Satan class devil. And I'm glad to see that Mittelt now knows more about Shirou's existence. I wonder how you'll build upon that considering how much older she is than Shirou and the other girls around him.

Thanks for the chapter.
I specially liked how his relations with the characters is developing, although there are some elements that feel either out of place or forced.
Nothing too much, but i'll list them just to bring them to your attention:
-First of all is how Azazel gave him details about the devils; it might be only me, but i simply thought he would wait for shirou to have an impression of them before revealing so much about them
-Second is his evaluation of Vali; honestly he might be strong, but considering what he revealed i would not put him this high compared to servants.
I mean, he has to touch his enemies to be able to divide, and although fast and strong, he is not as fast and strong as servants, that destroy the floor just running
-Third is how fast he is learning chess, but it might have simply Sona not giving her all and being distracted.
-The forth, and last element is how his Excalibur creation ability was revealed, and was revealed to the public.
I wanted to list what i liked about the story, however there are so many parts were i loved how (i think) you stayed truthfull to his character, like how he revealed his craft to sona and azaziel, or how he felt about meltiett feelings, or...
Well, i think you understand, good job!

The Excalibur arc, where dxd crossovers show where the power scale is truly set. Also, because how often do you get to say this, holy rusted metal Batman.

If they think Cu was good I wonder how they feel about Scathach.
Anyways wonder how you'll tackle this Arc? And what other weapons will Shirou copy from this universe?

Hold up.
If Shirou is using Gae Bolg to fight against anyone here, that's overkill.
Lancer is so fast that even Sirzechs wouldn't see the blade until it was a centimeter from his face.
And Shirou can also use the experience in the weapon's history to gain Lancer's speed, strengths, and such.
Of course, he'd lose to OG lancer but that's due to his gae bolg being inferior to Cu Chulainn's.
Shirou's face would become more determined in the face of any threat.
Hell, he faced Berserker who would make the aura of any Satan look like a pup barking.
Also, I forgot to mention this..
But Vali would be nothing to mid-tier servants and above.
Everyone in the 5th Grail War would decimate him.
And also, Shirou would NEVER reveal a trump card to someone who isn't in the need-to-know.
Especially if he survived the Holy Grail War.
And UBW can't really be sensed without it being unleashed and having Shirou's mantra activate.
And also, Shirou ALWAYS knew Avalon was within him, he just never knew why or what it was.
He knew it was something, but that's about it.
After the grail war, he knew it was Avalon.
Also, Archer didn't pass out when he traced Excalibur Image, which is superior to the DxD Excalibur by leagues...
Why should Shirou pass out when tracing a non-Divine Phantasm Excalibur PIECE?

The kind of power-up depends on his overall strength. So he needs better circuits and a stronger body to match some of the later opponents. Offense wise he is ridiculously overpowered. In fact UBW is a hard counter to most high level opponents, and against foes who draw their strength from elsewhere it should shut them down by its summoning alone. Interested in see how you develop you Shirou.

"couldn't detect anything"
Kanshou and Bakuya are weapons that reached the Heavens.
They're far more powerful than given respect towards.
Archer could destroy a thousand steel swords with Kanshou and Bakuya and neither would crack or break, despite being traced weapons.
They'd also slide through said swords like butter.

I do like the take you did on Shirou seeing the shards of Excalibur, its a nice touch on it that not many authors go in the direction of.

No confidence being able to defeat?
Black keys alone would defeat everyone in the room.
A single black key would do major damage against every devil.
Plus that Shirou is faster than every one of them, more skill than every one of them, far more experience, dozens of fighting styles, and vastly more firepower...
It's kinda a win in Shirou's favor.
Sure, they all might defeat him, but he would definitely put them all down before HE dies.
He can become a body of blades, making him immune to every attack they throw, even the Power of Destruction because he can just rebuild the blades.

Shirou can make any weapon that isn't made by the World itself or by the Root.
Excalibur could be replicated, of course it wouldn't be very powerful outside of UBW, and Noble Phantasms use alien "Legend Crystallizations" to come into being.
Shirou could trace a fucking lightsaber just by looking at it. Materials don't matter.
Also, about Shirou's archery here - Shirou can use European styled archery.
He gained that skill himself. He knows how to use a longbow at the beginning of the Holy Grail war. He was part of the Archery club, Japanese Styled Archery isn't the only type used in an archery club.
He most likely used other forms and European would definitely be one.
Either way, Archer used his bow with relative ease.
Also, Shirou annoyed at someone watching him and arguing with him? This is a bit OOC.
Also also, how does this Fallen Angel know European better than Shirou?
Again, this Fallen Angel is NOT a warrior. Nor An archer. Nor has even decent combat experience.
Your excuse is a bit farfetched, considering she was never thrown into huge conflict with Archers.
Plus, Shirou could just trace Archer's bow and use Archer's skill with it. It IS in UBW, after all.
Bruh, how did Koneko sneak up on Shirou?
Koneko would have a more distinct smell than everyone else.
Plus, Koneko isn't that amazing at stealth.
She just hides her presence.
It's similar to Kojiro, but on a lesser scale.

Shirou can't gag due to the power of Azazel.
Azazel would get shredded by any of the 5th Grail War servants.
Shirou could stand next to Archer, the most likely servant to win in the 5th grail war and his CG self if you take out Gil for obvious reasons, and also even to Gilgamesh.
Gilgamesh is above even the Trihexa.
If Shirou can withstand even Gilgamesh's presence, Azazel wouldn't do jack shit.
Gilgamesh would make Ddraig look small.
