As shown in the universes when he survives the war, he's back to his more tolerant yet arrogant old self and begrudgingly gives up his pursuit of magecraft after seeing the dangers of it. After getting involved in the Holy Grail War he becomes overconfident and willing to lash at others with his new power. Ĭharacter Material reveals that he is not as haughty as he looks like in the visual novel. Basically, he's the kind of person that's reliable when he's on your side but ends up being really troublesome if he turns on you. However, for a temperamental genius like Shinji, even a friend of many years is not safe from suddenly becoming his enemy for incomprehensible reasons. It seems Shinji and Shirou's friendship was close, though Shinji often made fun of him, he socially assassinated anybody that took advantage of Shirou in the shadows. Due to the gap between his "ideal world" and the world he actually lives in, his personality has become warped, but when Shirou first made his acquaintance four years ago he was not nearly as bad as he is now. He values rules (but he does not follow them himself), and he hates injustice (if he's not the one responsible). Though he is selfish and has the bad habit of looking down on other people, he has some faintly redeeming qualities. Due to his arrogance and inferiority complex, he refuses to admit that Shirou and Sakura are the only ones that care for him and believes it must be pity instead. He also feels entitled to things that he believes both the world and his family denied him, and will do anything to get recompensated. Initially he considered himself to be special when he discovered the Matou were a clan of magi and began putting all of his heart and effort into becoming one himself, only to later find they were a fallen clan who no longer had magical power, and that Sakura was going to fullfil his lifelong dream. His wish was to acquire the ability to utilize magecraft. When the Fifth Holy Grail War started, he was resigned to his situation, but after noticing that Sakura, who had just summoned Rider, did not want to fight, he persuaded Zouken into letting him enter the war by controlling Rider, all in an attempt to prove to Zouken that he was not useless and that he could be the Matou family heir instead of Sakura. Shinji disapproved of this, fearing that Sakura will start turning against him. Ī year before the events of Fate/stay night, after Shirou was injured in an accident, Sakura started getting close to him. They started an estranged friendship and frequently invited him over to his house to hang out. At the end of the day, Shinji laughed as if he was having a good time, and exclaimed, "You may be an idiot, but you sure do good work, at least!". After Byakuya's death, Shinji decided to "take possession" of Sakura and started sexually abusing her.ĭuring middle school he met Shirou Emiya, who did menial tasks for people free of charge, and despite Shinji deriding him as an idiot from behind his back, he hung around with him until he was done. Sakura, in a mixture of pity and guilt, silently accepted Shinji's abuse, which he mistook for her submitting to him. Blaming Sakura for "ruining his dreams", he started mistreating her, treating her like an object to do with as he pleased. This caused Byakuya to cut all ties with him due to no longer having to hide anything from him. The farce ended when Shinji accidentally found the worm pit, seeing as Sakura was being infested by Zouken's worms. He also didn't tell him about the worm pit or the reasons why Sakura was adopted by the family. Because of that he does not know that his uncle Kariya participated and died, probably because Byakuya (who despised Kariya) chose to hide this fact from him. Not wanting his son to get involved in the affairs of the Matou magecraft, Byakuya sent him to study abroad when the Fourth Holy Grail War started. At first he was against this because he didn't want 'outsiders' coming into his family but later grew to like and accept her, though due to his selfish, arrogant nature, he refused to show it and teased her instead. Shortly after, Sakura Tohsaka was adopted into the Matou family and introduced to Shinji as his new sister. This did little to dissuade Shinji's determination to become the successor, the boy instead convincing himself that he was special for being born in a family of magi. Unfortunately, Shinji was incapable of sorcery. This led Byakuya, the eldest son of Zouken Matou, to marry a woman with an "inheritor" sorcery trait, who later gave birth to his son, Shinji. Due to the thinning of their bloodline, the Matou are no longer capable of producing heirs naturally capable of sorcery.
