In Fate/Stay Night there’s the famous scene in which Shirou speaks to Saber. The scene gained immense popularity across the web, and is usually accompanied by responses like O RLY? and You Don’t Say!
The question is, does he actually say that? Is that line also written in the Visual Novel? Is this a translation error? Or is he just that stupid?
I’ve seen many people complain of bad or super literal translations giving people the wrong ideas about Fate/Stay Night, making Shirou seem more stupid than he actually is. Incidentally, I don’t think there is a light novel of Fate/Stay Night; it started as a visual novel (sort of video game.) There are light novels in the franchise, but I think that’s for Fate/Zero only
