--> “Shirou.” Ilya said. She alone hadn’t turned to look, and was still looking down at the table, so he couldn’t see her face. She was tracing patterns on the table idly with a finger, kicking her feet as she didn’t meet his eyes. “It’s no good if you get yourself killed, right? So even if you get ripped to pieces, you absolutely can’t die, because we’ll be separated.”

* Shirou lives his dream of being a totally selfless hero who saves people as The Sixth Ranger, but rather than turning out like Archer, where the people he saves later curse him and fear him because they don't understand him (and he never adequately explains himself, if at all), Shirou eventually becomes famous and understood as someone who really does just want to save/help people to the point of obsession, and accept his eccentricities as the mark of a weird person, but not someone to be hated or feared. Furthermore, his stint as [[KnightInShiningArmor The Sixth Ranger]] ''did'' in fact save hundreds, if not thousands of lives at a time when people were in the most danger and most in need of help.

** Ilya, in her own awkward way, wants to know if her student Hexadecimal is okay, and has Shirou broach the subject for her, possibly knowing that she wouldn't be good at it.
** Shirou, unlike other people, don't tell Hexadecimal what he should do, instead trusting him to either handle it on his own, or ask help when he really wants and needs it. Hexadecimal appreciates how Shirou doesn't criticize him.
* Kuradeel is a Mid Liner who desperately wants to show that he is ready to be a Front Liner. He gets his wish when he is scouted by Ilya.

* Shirou teaching Argo how to [Make a Circuit] and training with her in using it, especially since the technique is absurdly dangerous and he had no idea if it would actually work inside of the game. One of the Tiger Dojos even features him killing himself because it failed.

* The efforts Kirito goes through to protect Agatha during an EscortMission.
** [[spoiler: Becomes a TearJerker when you realize who she was based on and her eventual fate. Hint: Zolgen was based on Kayaba's Magecraft mentor. Do the math]]

* Shirou teaching Argo how to make a [Make a Circuit] and training with her in using it.

* Argo's elation at making her new spell in Chapter 13.4 and how Shirou acts genuinely happy for her, which is enough to take her breath away.

* When a player who had an orange cursor marking him a criminal (for petty reasons, against a guy who was a sociopath) was left unable to move for nearly 24 hours and everyone else thought it was a trap, Shirou went to help him.

* Shirou wearing the [Stupid Helmet] in the first boss battle. It was a horrible piece of equipment that hindered his sight and vision on the battlefield, but he wore it without complaint only because Ilya made it for him.
