unlimited blade works
I am the bone of my sword.
Steel is my body, and fire is my blood.
I have created over a thousand blades.
Unknown to death.
Nor known to life.
Have withstood pain to create many weapons.
Yet, those hands will never hold anything.
So as I pray, 'Unlimited Blade Works'.
--Archer's chant, Fate/stay night
A wasteland stretching off into the distance, innumerable swords sticking into the ground. Rival to the Gate of Babylon.
Commonly used in parody images, with characters from other series standing in Archer's place in the field of blades (or of their own signature weapons).
A second variation of this incantation exists, which is performed by Archer's past self, Emiya Shirou;
I am the bone of my sword.
Steel is my body, and fire is my blood.
I have created over a thousand blades.
Unaware of loss.
Nor aware of gain.
Have withstood pain to create weapons, waiting for one's arrival.
I have no regrets. This is my only path.
My whole life, was 'Unlimited Blade Works'.
Not to be confused with the "Unlimited Blade Works" route of the game.
