Doesn't he stop himself before hitting him? I think Shirou was really pissed at Shinji during scene, but didn't actually knock the wind out of him. Too bad, though, as I'm sure 99% of people who played through Heaven's Feel chose that option.
They would've chosen that option even if they didn't play Heaven's Feel. HF just gives them more reasons to hate him

FSN's Shinji and Gil are two sides of the same coin (i.e. self-entitled assholes), the sole difference being that Gil has the power to do what he pleases while Shinji doesn't. This surely skews the popularity vote in Gil's favour. People hate losers, I guess.

Shinji is (rightfully) totally insecure. Gilgamesh, on the other hand, is the most secure. He just doesn't like when other kids play with his toys.

Shinji's really popular with the ladies though; its hard to imagine why he'd want Tohsoka so badly when he could probably have almost any girl as his girlfriend.

She's an anime harem lead and she's a tsundere schoolgirl who can machinegun you with her brain. I'd say there were probably queues outside her classroom if we hadn't actually seen them in the first episode.

There's nothing pure about loving Diarmuid: he's 100% bullying material.

Pretty drat good bullying material though. The really baffling people to me are the ones that are into Alex, he just looks like a gigantic Muppet.

The biggest sexyness curse Zero Lancer has is being voiced by Hikaru Midorikawa. That man voiced so many of my anime crushes without me realizing it until after the fact, it's gotten ridiculous.

Oh, I totally agree with this. I would bully the hell out of him.

Alex is pure bara material, but I will not sully this poor innocent thread with my fujoshi trash any further.

I saw the number of replies and thought something terrible was being discussed, but instead there is a discussion about the sexiest and beefiest Type Moon men, I approve.
