Unlimited Blade Works: Infinite Creation of Swords (無限の剣製(アンリミテッドブレイドワークス), Mugen no Kensei(Anrimiteddo Bureido Wākusu)?, localized as “Universe of Endless Blades”) is the Reality Marble of Shirou Emiya and the Noble Phantasm of the Heroic Spirit EMIYA and his Fate/EXTRA counterpart. EMIYA does not have a true Noble Phantasm that is the crystallized embodiment of a hero’s existence like many demonic or holy swords, but if a Noble Phantasm is considered to be a symbol of the Heroic Spirit, then the Reality Marble is his Noble Phantasm. It is a high-class thaumaturgy that embodies their internal worlds and imprints them upon the World as a Bounded Field for a short amount of time. It is their one true specialization of magecraft, the result of “Sword” being both their Origin and their Elemental Affinity, and the basis of their projection and reinforcement skills. It is the definite answer obtained by someone whose life was saved by a sword, actually merged and lived with a sword, and acted as a sword all of his life.

Invocation

[

]

Both Archer and Shirou use an incantation to facilitate the invocation of the Reality Marble. It is close to a “Ten-Count” aria, using a poem about the caster as the basis, a sorrowful elegy in EMIYA’s case, used to activate greater magecraft.[5] Shirou describes it as a suggestion to change himself and the words that will “connect Shirou Emiya“. Their chants differ slightly due to the different experiences in their respective lives. The lines of the incantation can be said at any time without requiring preparation, and Archer is able to stop between lines to speak and then resume without issue. The first line is often used in order to strengthen a projection, such as with Archer’s use of Caladbolg II and Shirou’s use of Rho Aias.

Once the incantations have been completed, an illusionary fire that does not emit any heat spreads out to form a boundary and wall for the Bounded Field. The bright light fills the vision of those present, and manifests an open, barren desert with monolithic black gears gyrating in the distance. It is a kingdom of rubble littered with thousands, perhaps a countless number, of swords anchored in the ground like grave markers in a wasteland, yet are well preserved. It is a world likened to a steel mill, filled with weapons, flames, and giant gears. The basis for the world in the Reality Marble is a hill of swords that spreads infinitely in their minds. It is the final illusion Archer saw on the verge of death, the only pride left within himself, and it is where Shirou makes his vow to uphold his ideals during the Unlimited Blade Works route.

The reflection of this inner world depends on their state of mind and their experiences in life, which means that they are completely different and incompatible with each other. Archer’s is formed from the basis of having been betrayed by everything, including by his own ideals, and in the end having only been granted this one single spell. Shirou is able to realize his version upon deciding that his ideals and dreams, while borrowed, flawed, and hypocritical, are still worth striving for and upholding.

Shirou’s version is bathed in twilight from the extended horizon, while Archer’s version has its view opaqued by a thick haze formed from embers and wisps of black smog rising from the ground, produced by the forging of iron. If their perspectives are to interact, such as when Shirou obtains Archer’s arm, he is able to utilize the recorded knowledge of stored weapons, but is unable to actualize the Reality Marble due to the difference in their internal worlds. The version of Miyu’s brother is a dark winter scenery with blowing snow, the innumerable stuck swords give the impression of the mountain of corpses, with no stars or roads, and whose only light is the moon in the sky providing faint illumination. The reflection of this inner world symbolizes how lifeless Shirou’s being has become by losing everything he had, yet still choosing to disregard himself and the lives of others for a single person’s happiness, with the moon representing his connection with Miyu.

The Reality Marble’s purpose is a steel manufacturing factory that produces the countless famous swords that are without their owners, extending into the horizon. It contains all of the raw materials and sorcery needed for the formation of the weapons, and it records and analyzes all weapons and defensive armaments encountered by the user. The number of unique weapons encountered and recorded by Archer exceeds numerous thousands, most of which are Noble Phantasms each possessing deadly powers. Their entire histories, compositions, and designs are all perfectly recorded, allowing for instant proficiency with the weapons by inheriting all combat skills and techniques utilized by their original owners. This allows for the reproduction of Noble Phantasms, which would generally be impossible for a faker. They can also be modified to the user’s taste with reinforcement as shown by Archer’s Caladbolg II and Kanshou and Bakuya. During his lifetime, EMIYA would customize his weapons from their usual states, projecting Noble Phantasms that appears to have been arranged with designs that are easier to use.[2]

Close combat weapons such as swords, spears, and halberds are the main focus of the Reality Marble in accordance with Shirou’s Origin of “Sword“, which also makes it impossible to record or reproduce modern weaponry like guns and other mobile weapons.[6] Shields and defensive armaments can be reproduced with a much greater struggle as the cost in magical energy is high, two or three times greater than a sword, and the effects are merely transient compared to the originals. Weapons encountered are immediately analyzed with a single glance, enabling them to be projected immediately afterwards, and once projected, they are stored within the Reality Marble for later use. Shirou is able to instantly recognize dozens of weapons being fired from the Gate of Babylon at an extremely high rate and instantly counter with projections of the same weapons before they can strike.

The analysis of weapons is limited only to the direct use of human senses, meaning that blueprints and materials will be unable to provide the necessary information for a proper analysis. Shared memories, such as dreams shared with a Servant, can allow for weapons to be analyzed and projected, even if they have been lost like Caliburn. The quality of projected weapons will always be degraded by one rank due to humans being unable to fully conceptualize the existence of an object through only one sense, and they will never equal the originals without a technique such as detonating them as Broken Phantasms. The one exception for Shirou is Avalon, which can be projected perfectly due to having been fused with him for many years. Archer of Fate/EXTRA, under the conditions of the Moon Cell, is noted to be able to project objects with no inherent rankability (EX Rank Noble Phantasms) should he have support from the original owner.[3]

Without being deployed, the Reality Marble allows for projection and reinforcement in the real world. Weapons are produced within Unlimited Blade Works and then brought into the world, greatly lowering the cost of reproducing them and allowing for numerous weapons to be prepared at once to be projected. Weapons can be summoned directly to the user’s hands, or they can be summoned to levitate within the air and fire upon the enemy as arrows much like the Gate of Babylon. Once the Reality Marble is deployed, all of the weapons are available for use without the need to project them from scratch as they are physically there in the Reality Marble, and any weapon can immediately be called to the user’s hands, pulled from out of the ground, or levitated even while the user is in direct combat.[7] The weapons reproduced once the Reality Marble is first activated will not consume magical energy, but those used or destroyed within it will add to the cost of maintaining the Bounded Field. The amount of energy used to reproduce weapons that did not exist after the Bounded Field was expanded and the amount of energy used to recreate weapons destroyed while it is activated is extremely costly.[8]

EMIYA and Shirou have access to a large number of Noble Phantasms that they have encountered during their lifetimes, which include Caladbolg II, Durandal, Hrunting, Kanshou and Bakuya, Rho Aias, and numerous weapons from the Gate of Babylon. Divine Constructs, such as Ea and Excalibur, are unable to be replicated, though there may be degraded Noble Phantasms with similar abilities stored within the Reality Marble.[6] Archer claims that it is possible to reproduce an imperfect version of Excalibur likely to drain him of all of his magical energy in a suicide attack. Shirou using Archer’s arm in the Heaven’s Feel route states that he would be able to project it if Saber Alter were to give him time, but believes that he cannot handle the sword and that the difficulty of doing such a high level projection in battle would make it impractical.

Shirou, during Heaven’s Feel, requires a weapon to destroy the Greater Grail and uses his image of “The greatest Noble Phantasm I know of.” The image in his head is that of Excalibur, and the weapon utilizes a large beam of light as an attack at the cost of his life during the normal ending. The conditions for where wrought iron is possible are enhanced within the Moon Cell, removing the limitation and allowing for the projection of holy sword-class weaponry. Their performance is still inferior to the actual weapons, limiting Archer of Fate/EXTRA to projecting a degraded version of Excalibur, Excalibur Image.[7] Characters in the world of Fate/kaleid liner PRISMA☆ILLYA show some ability to replicate Divine Constructs through special means.

The Reality Marble is a natural counter to Gilgamesh, allowing Shirou, a below average magus, to completely overwhelm and defeat him. Though Shirou would be no match against other Servants who have mastered their own weapons to the utmost limit, Unlimited Blade Works being a somewhat troublesome ability to them, the fact that both he and Gilgamesh are “owners” of numerous weapons places them on a level playing field. Neither has a specialized weapon with which they can be called a “wielder“, so Shirou’s ability to counter each and every weapon fired by the Gate of Babylon places Gilgamesh at a disadvantage.

Outside of the Reality Marble, Shirou is barely able to keep up with Gilgamesh’s assault while he was simply playing around with Shirou. But once within the confines of the Reality Marble, all of his weapons are produced and ready to attack, which means that the Gate of Babylon’s slightly slower summoning rate allows Shirou to hone in on Gilgamesh to fight and defeat him at close range. He is unable to handle Shirou’s attacks, which forces him to allow his own weapons to be destroyed in order to counter Shirou’s projections, and Shirou even has time to instantly recognize Ea as Gilgamesh is drawing it and quickly chop off his arm before he can utilize it. Even with the advantages, he claims that Gilgamesh would win if he were to have time to regain his composure.

Outside Effects

[

]

The Reality Marble is able to invade Shirou’s body in the form of numerous blades during severe trauma to heal and overwrite wounds. It changes the nature of the regeneration provided by Avalon into an indirect form that “changes his muscles into blades in order to knit his wounds with swords.” It replaces and reinforces broken bones and muscles with swords after he is wounded, allowing him to survive a blow to the chest from Rider’s dagger. It also allows him to survive a kick from her that would normally gouge out his stomach. When she realizes his innards are too durable to fatally wound him, she kicks him out of a window to kill him instead, and the ability goes out of control after he hits the ground during the “Rafflesia Umbrella” bad ending where blades burst from his chest and cause a fatal wound. The ability manages to keep him from having his entire body destroyed from an attack by Gilgamesh, and makes him appear to have “masses of blades shaped like muscle fibers” as he heals.[9]

He is completely invaded by Archer’s Unlimited Blade Works after taking his arm during Heaven’s Feel. The more he uses the abilities from the arm, the harder it becomes for him to suppress the Reality Marble. It will create an infinite number of blades inside his body rather than outside, causing a thousand blades to eventually pierce and kill him instantly if he lets it go fully out of control.[10] The arm eventually begins to start permanently replacing parts of his breaking-down body with blades as it frantically tries to keep him alive due to him overusing its abilities. His joints gradually become harder to move properly as they begin to take on a metallic, grating sound when he moves, and hundreds of blades protrude from numerous areas on his skin as they prepare an inescapable death by skewering. He comments that “I am the bone of my sword” when thinking over that fact. During his duel to the death against Kirei Kotomine, it makes the latter unable to strike Shirou without also hurting himself on the blades, and it increases Shirou’s durability so that only a fatal strike to his head will kill him. Before his body completely gives out, he states that even his senses are turning into steel as well.[11]

   Life as a Human
   This is Emiya Shirou after becoming a Heroic Spirit in the future. He stubbornly trained himself after the Holy Grail War, and pursued the dream of becoming a superhero. However, he soon fell into despair as he realised that his own power was insufficient to save mankind. Before the dying people, Emiya made a pact with the” World” and become a hero that can produce miracles, yet he died a tragic death because of the betrayal of his allies. Although he died of betrayal, he did not hate mankind. However, the “World” ironically gave him the duty as a Heroic Spirit “to slaughter all humans at a particular location when mankind is at the threshold of complete self destruction” — a “Counter Guardian”.

   Tactics
   Since Emiya is a Heroic Spirit from the future, he does not have any blessings provided by fame. In addition, he does not have Noble Phantasms, as a result his basic abilities are below other Servants. However, his exceptional use of tactics and battle experience makes his combat style very distinct from other Servants. The Archer class originally focuses on long range combat, but Emiya loves melee combat and wishes to conceal his trump card, thus he focuses on melee tactics with Kansho and Bakuya when engaging other Servants.
   The reason an Emiya with no Noble Phantasms is able to match other Servants or even exceed them is the Reality Marble “Unlimited Blade Works”, which includes “all the elements necessary to shape swords”. This Boundary Field can copy weapons that are seen only once, and store them within. In the Fifth Holy Grail War, the weapons stored had exceeded thousands. Emiya can freely take out and utilise the weapons according to the situation, and he can also assault the enemy by firing many Noble Phantasms from the Boundary Field like arrows in the same way as Gilgamesh’s “Gate of Babylon”.
   Emiya’s trump card is firing copied Noble Phantasms as arrows – “Broken Phantasm”. On impact, the magical force will explode, generating overwhelming destructive power. By assaulting melee Servants with this type of long range attack, Emiya is able to turn the odds to his favour.

   Class Abilities

   Magic Resistance: D
   Emiya’s Magic Resistance is weak. Its rank is D, in other words, spells more than one bar will annul this resistance. The benefit it provides is equivalent to an anti-magic amulet. This level of resistance can be easily overcome by a relatively strong magus.
   Although Emiya was a magus during his life and possesses unusual Projection sorcery, his affinity with “sorcery” is much worse compared to Heroic Spirits of ancient times who saw sorceries and True Magics as commonplace. The level of Magic Resistance is a result of this.
   For Emiya who possesses low Magic Resistance, it is easy to picture the kind of effects great sorceries and ritual spells can have on him. Even spells greater than two steps can be lethal to him if hit. Because of this, Emiya is at a disadvantage against Caster, who has powerful sorceries at her disposal. Depending on the situation, Emiya may even have to pay attention to the attack of Masters who are magi.

   Independent Action: B
   Normally if a Servant loses his Master, he will disappear within hours if he cannot replenish the mana required to remain in this world. The amount of time each Heroic Spirit has before disappearing varies, but Emiya can remain in this world for 2 days due to Rank B Independent Action. However, this is the ideal value achieved by maximally conserving mana and avoiding battle and Noble Phantasm usage.
   In UBW route, Emiya’s Master switched from Rin to Medea, and after Medea’s death, he continued to operate independently and battled Emiya Shirou. Through all these events, one is able to recognise Emiya’s ability to survive alone. In addition, even if Emiya’s spiritual core sustained lethal damage, he can still survive for a short period. This ability is the reason why Emiya is able to secretly observe Shirou and gang’s battle as a spiritual body after being defeated by Shirou. In addition, after the battle between Shirou and Gilgamesh had concluded at Ryudo Temple, Emiya appeared in front of Gilgamesh as he attempted to pull Shirou into the darkness. He shot an arrow between the eyes of Gilgamesh and sent him alone into the darkness. The arrow shot at that time was a regular arrow, and from the fact that Emiya gradually began to disappear after this attack, this is probably the limit of Emiya’s materialisation.

   Personal Skills

   Clairvoyance: C
   The visual ability that is also called “Eagle Eye”. This is a must-have ability of the Archer Class. It is also frequently used during scouting. Simply looking from a high location is sufficient to fully survey the town and search for enemies. In addition, Clairvoyance will affect the accuracy of bows. Also worth mentioning is that, as Emiya readies his bow, he will be able to precisely snipe even enemies moving at high speeds as long as they are within a 4km range.
   Archer, who possesses Clairvoyance, is able to execute “ultra long-range sniping” with accuracy transcending the realm of men.

   Thaumaturgy: C-
   During his life time, the sorceries learned by Emiya are unremarkable. Before becoming a Heroic Spirit, even “reinforcement” was quite difficult. However, the “projection” sorcery he wields is quite special, as it is able to duplicate weapons, including all the components, to near perfection. In addition, during duplication, he can even read the wielder’s skills, which allows him to gain all kinds of Noble Phantasms and combat skills.
   During his life time, Emiya used the preliminary step of projection – “structural analysis”, to find the location of an item’s fault and proceed with repair.

   Eye of the Mind (True): B
   A danger-avoidance ability that utilises the intelligence collected up to the current time as the basis, in order to predict the opponent’s activity and change the current situation. This is not a result of talent, but an overwhelming amount of combat experience. A weapon wielded by none other than a mortal, gained through tenacious training. Using Eye of the Mind, Emiya was able to successfully counter Cú Chulainn’s thrusts that were invisible to the eye.
   Even with Rank B Eye of the Mind (True), Emiya was unable to see through Emiya Shirou’s passion-infused strike which put “ideal” on the line.

   Noble Phantasm

   Unlimited Blade Works
   Rank: E~A++
   Type: ???
   Range: ???
   Maximum Targets: ???
   The “Innate Bound Field” wielded by Emiya. It is his ability as a Heroic Spirit with no Noble Phantasms. The inside of the reality marble is a world like a steel mill, filled with weapons, flames, and giant gears. The uncountable swords plunge into the ground and were preserved thus. The majority of the weapons persevered in the reality marble are Noble Phantasms of Heroic Spirits copied through projection sorcery, each possessing deadly powers. Although the majority of the weapons are swords, the Noble Phantasm that provides absolute defence against projectiles, “Rho Aias”, is also said to be copied and stored in the reality marble. Also, the ability of the replicated Noble Phantasm suffers one rank down compared to the original.
   Not only can Emiya freely access the weapon stored inside Unlimited Blade Works, he can also modify the weapons to his wish like Caladabolg II. In addition, he is able to capitalise on his ability to repeatedly project: use Noble Phantasms as disposable arrows, and then unleash the magical energy stored within – the tactic called “Broken Phantasm”.

   Rho Aias
   The shield used by the hero of Trojan War, Aias. The Boundary Field Noble Phantasm that provides absolute defence against projectile weapons.

   Kansho and Bakuya
   The famous swords of Chinese legend. The Yin-Yang, Female-Male paired swords based on the Yin-Yang Doctrine. Emiya’s favourite melee weapons.

   Caladbolg II
   The legendary sword “Caladbolg” of the Ulster Cycle, projected and modified by Emiya. Not very useful as a sword, but rather used as an arrow for “Broken Phantasm”

   “As their swords clashed, Shirou and Archer became one. The incantation of “UNLIMITED BLADE WORKS” flowed into him; it was a sorrowful elegy. And Shirou saw it — atop a hill of swords, the shape of the man who made a victim of himself in order to protect something else.“

   Q: What is the limit of replication in UBW?

   • Japanese

   Q: What is the limit of replication in UBW? The highest level of NP (sword types) is probably Ea, but while it might be impossible for Shirou, could Archer make it? Also, under the meaning of weapons, to what extent can he make modern weapons? Must it be only blade types or can he make guns and mobile weapons?

   A: Divine constructs like Ea and Excalibur are non-replicable. There might be some degraded NPs with similar performance in stock though. Also, since sword is becoming his origin, the weapons that he has stored are fundamentally limited to close combat.

   Q：”無限の剣製(アンリミテッドブレイドワークス)”における複製の限界はどのあたりでしょうか？ 宝具（剣系）の最上位はおそらく乖離剣(エア)だと思いますが、士郎では無理でもアーチャーなら複製可能でしょうか？ そして武器という意味では、現代兵器はどの程度まで複製可能でしょうか？刀剣類までなのか、銃や機動兵器なども可能なのでしょうか？

   A：“乖離剣(エア)”、”約束された勝利の剣(エクスカリバー)”といった神造兵器の複製は不可です。似たような性能の、型落ち宝具ならいくつが貯蔵があるかもですが。また、剣が彼の起源になりつつあるので收められる武器は基本、白兵戦縛りになります。

   Infinite Creation of Swords [Noble Phantasm]
   Archer’s noble phantasm. A barren wasteland lined with a thousand blades. A great ritual deployed using eight lines of projection. A type of old world magecraft, called a reality marble, which manifests the internal world of the caster and writes it over the world for a small amount of time. All of the weapons Archer can project are there and in this space he doesn’t have to project them from scratch, instead he can immediately pull out the weapons sticking out of the ground.
   In EXTRA, the conditions for where wrought iron is possible are boosted so projection of holy-sword class weaponry is possible, though their performance is inferior.
   Okay truth is, I was surprised to find that the staff in charge of the 3D had made animation for Excalibur being projected while I was looking the other way.
   Well it is new animation after all and there’s no reason to reject it. So long as it’s a degraded version, I guess it’s okay.

   Q: Is it possible to recreate swords consumed or broken within the bounds of Unlimited Blade Works without the use of prana?

   Q: Is it possible to recreate swords consumed or broken within the bounds of Unlimited Blade Works without the use of prana?

   A: The prana expenditure required for the formation and upkeep of the Reality Marble would be continuous, but armaments already formed upon the deployment of the Reality Marble would be without cost. However, the recreation of items destroyed and the fresh creation of items not in existence at the time of deployment would expend significant amounts of prana.

   Ｑ：「無限の剣製」内で壊れたり、使ったりした剣は魔力の使用なしに再び作られるのか？

   Ａ：固有結界形成から維持には魔力消費はされ続けるが、結界形成時に用意されている武装に関しては 魔力消費 はしない。 しかし、破壊されたものを新しく製造する、または形成時に無かったものを新造するには激しく魔力を消費する。

   Q: During the Shirou VS. Rider scene in Saber’s route, why didn’t her daggers kill him?

   • English
   • Japanese

   Q: During the Shirou VS. Rider scene in Saber’s route, why didn’t her daggers kill him? Was it because of the holy sheath embedded within his body? Or was it because his body had begun its swordification?

   A: At that time, Shirou’s self-healing had already begun, but the nature of his regeneration was really quite indirect, “changing his muscles into blades in order to knit his wounds with swords.” That is actually what happened, regardless of what you saw during the scene in Saber’s route where Gilgamesh dealt him a mortal wound and Shirou appeared to have “masses of blades shaped like muscle fibers” in his body. So, Shirou’s innards are extremely durable. During the fight with Rider, she was able to injure Shirou with her stakes but it would have been more difficult and troublesome to fatally wound him, so she decided to kick him out the window instead.

   Q:セイバールードの士郎VSライダー戦において、なぜライダーの刃は士郎の肉体に通用しなかったのですか？士郎の体に埋まっている、聖剣の鞘のお陰でしょうか？それとも士郎の肉体の剣化が始まっていたのでしょうか？

   A: あの時、士郎の自動治癒が始まっていたのですが、彼の肉体再生は“まず筋肉を刀身に変換して、穴の開いた部分を剣で縫いつける”という、実に回りくどい過程しています。
   セイバールートでギルガメッシュに致命傷を負わされた時に見える“筋肉筋のような刀身の群れ”はイメージでも何でもなく、実際のものなのですね。
   なので、再生中の士郎の中身は大変堅いのです。あの時のライダーは、自分の杭では傷はつけられるけど致命傷にはなりづらい、面倒だから蹴って落とそう、という選択をとったのです。

    Infinite Creation of Swords [Noble Phantasm, Magecraft]
    Unlimited Blade Works
    Though it is treated as a Noble Phantasm, technically speaking it is a type of sorcery called a reality marble.
    Within this reality marble exists all the ingredients needed for the creation of swords. So long as Archer has seen the original, he is able to easily replicate it.
    However, the replicated weapon has its rank reduced by one.
    Replication of defensive armaments is also possible, but it requires two to three times more magical energy than a normal projection.
    Once an armament has been replicated, it is registered inside the boundary field and can be manufactured with projection sorcery even without expanding the reality marble.
    Against a normal opponent this is little more than a somewhat troublesome ability, but it is the natural enemy of a certain King of Heroes.

    無限の剣製【宝具、魔術】
    アンリミテッドブレイドワークス
    宝具扱いだが、正確には固有結界と呼ばれる魔術である。
    この固有結界には全ての剣を形成する要素があり、オリジナルを見た事があれば容易く複製する事が可能。
    ただし、複製した武器はランクが一つ下がる。
    防具も可能だが、その場合は通常投影の二倍〜三倍の魔力を必要とする。
    一度複製した武具は結界内に登録され、固有結界を起動させずとも、投影魔術として作り出せる。
    通常の相手には多少厄介な能力にすぎないが、彼の英雄王にとっては正に天敵となる宝具。
