You see, Shirou isn't your average protagonist with one trump card that appears out of nowhere. He is a seasoned fighter, who fights and dies throughout time for his ideal. He has seven different paths he takes. They are:

Archer: Fighting for his friends and the innocent. Ends up as a janitor of sorts to clean out the filth of the world, without glory or any form of gratitude from those he saves. Dies as a scapegoat.

Berserker: Shirou fights for the ideal until Ilya betrays him. She uses his life force to survive past her eminent death, and then leaves him for dead. He is saved by a traveling swordsman who he eventually fights Rin and Ilya against. The entire concept of the battle, fighting with either the man who is exactly like his father or with his dearest friends causes his mind to break. He dies of exhaustion in this world after untold power rises in him, and he ends up slaughtering everyone in miles. Disgusted with himself, as a servant he never reveals his face, even when he is commanded by seal.

Saber: After the 5th grail war, Arthur stays with Shirou. They decide to journey across the world together. Shirou develops his swordskill tremendously, to the point that he can out-fence Arthur. When catastrophe strikes, they fight together as lovers bound by the sword. They die in each other's arms, and as his last promise Shirou states to always be true to the King of England.
