Unlike in UBW Shirou's character, dev here was massive. Although there were some plot armour moments: ex shirou still being able to fight berserker after being clobbered by berserker and Kotomine showing up at the end despite getting his heart crushed by Sakura. It was fast-paced, unpredictable, horrific, and ended with little to no copouts. So many revelations and plot points that were left ambiguous in other routes got explained here.
