Onizuka saved a girl from yakuza and got shot doing it and still took the national exam after after being shot. And he was even more GAR in the Shonan Junai Gumi where basically all he does is fight like a truely manly man should and chases after girls.

There’s a reason despite not having anything even remotely close to being “morally ambigious” like most villians of the newer generation, Dio Brando remains one of the most legendary villians in existence, even before the power of ZA WARUDO became known.

It’s sad people know him for only his MEME, WRYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY.

Two. Archer’s garness comes from the Unlimited Blade Works storyline that wasn’t animated. Archer was unique as a heroic spirit because he could keep his memories instead of lose them like everyone else. Through his repeated summonings he realized that everything he fought for was a lie and he had sacrificed his life for nothing.

Because of this he decided that he would go back and kill his former self, Emiya Shirou. This is amazing in one way since it’s a one in one hundred billion that Archer would be summoned in the Fuyuki Grail War. A lot of people have said that Archer killing Shirou is like him performing suicide, which is emo. Yeah, Archer did in a way wanted to kill himself. A heroic spirit cannot die, so the only way Archer could die would be killing his past self with his own hands before he became Archer, which would basically destroy the universe and wipe out the idea of Archer before he was created.

However, in the end Archer realized that giving up was not the way, and instead chose to continue fighting on, no matter the pain or sacrifice. This is what is meant by ” I am the bone of my sword, “. Archer will stick to his ideals no matter what. That is what makes him gar.

panzer_magier: Yeah, Onizuka is going to get owned by Master Asia. I just can’t seem him getting by on his own votes.

onizuka and archer is a hard couple to compare with, as their characteristics clearly differ from each other. i have not watched all of gto, but i’ve seen some, and i can say that onizuka’s wish to protect his students above all else is something worthy of mentioning. however, archer’s ideals, personality, symbolism, and even that impossibly cool physical appearance is simply one notch higher than the great teacher. i have not played fate/stay night, so i cannot express the true man who archer is. but from the vast access of the infinite internet i can tell that archer’s loss is one that occurred way too early for a man of his caliber.

i only fear that this might be a sign of the impossibility with the great teacher prevailing above the rest with his vast popularity. i realize that this has only about a 0.1% chance of happening, but if gai can turn 1% into 100% with true courage, maybe gto can turn 0.1% into 100% with true nourishing love. O.o

1.Summon
2.Fights Lancer
3.Injury from Saber
4.Fights Berserker
5.Dies

Nothing to GAR about.

I also think it was more Dio revenge votes that caused Archer to lose.

Maybe Garcher’s loss was due to GTO’s popularity.
