@ idofgrahf

But do you really think that's plausible, or even possible, within the current strictures of the show? Or in any sense of reality... look at Shirou. He's an average teenage male, fighting in a competition involving mages and legendary heroes (who aren't bound by physical laws). There's no way, realistically, or even within the Fate context, that he could become a 'bulldozer' compared to Berserker et al. In fact, I can't see Shirou becoming much of a combat warrior at all - not in a realism sense. Sure, he's got AutoPhoenix (or so it seems

) but in terms of combat strength and skill, he isn't going anywhere fast.

Saber wants to teach him simply to have him able to defend himself until she can come to his aid. Not to teach him to actually be a warrior - at least, that's my current impression. I'd think that, although Shirou shouldn't be trusting her, Lady Luck might need to be his personal goddess for the immediate future. ^_^
