@Fandom User: You are completly right. Emiya's original Origin wasn't Sword, it was something else (if I remember correctly, it's currently unknown his first Origin). But after having Avalon inside him (something THAT powerful) his Origin changed after a while, transforming into "Sword". In fact, Emiya is one of the worst magus we know in Fate universe. Terrible magical circuit, very low mana output, zero magecraft knowledge (and magecraft is all about knowledge, practice and study), etc. He is powerful only because he have Unlimited Blade Works, and thanks to that he can use the best Gradiant Air. And he only have Unlimited Blade Works because he have Sword Origin. Without that Origin, it would be impossible for him to use, or to have, UBW, and to use the Gradiant Air ("Projection") he use.

@TubTub: Don't worry. :) It's a pleasure to explain things about Type Moon. I love this universe (...at least until Grand Order, this game is a pain lore-wise for me) so it's funny to explain it to someone else.

And I think you are right. I mean, it's completly normal for someone who doesn't know very much about Fate and/or Type to think he is not Emiya. After all, he isn't Shirou-face (like Angra Mainyu), his skin is completly black instead uf just tanned (like EMIYA), etc. Someone can think this guy is just a faker (pretty funny, uh? The faker's faker).

At first I thought, too, he wasn't Shirou. I was talking to a friend and told him something like "You know what? I think DW will repeat the same thing they alreay did with Kiritsugu. The Servant name is "EMIYA" so we thought he is Shirou, however he will be just another member of the Emiya family, like a Shirou's brother from another universe or something like that". At least until I saw the Unlimited Lost Works.
