Is there anything that would contradict a theory that Shirou = EMIYA = Angra Mainyu? I think it is possible that Shirou is a reincarnation of Angra Mainyu, and of course it is possible for Shirou to become the Heroic Spirit EMIYA but I wonder if in all his betrayal and despair EMIYA became All the World's Evil when he died and was inter-dimensionally reincarnated as the villager who became Angra Mainyu in the past? I think Nasu does try to hint at the similarities between the two and it would bring all the dualism themes full circle with EMIYA representing "good" and Angra Mainyu representing "evil" and Shirou representing a struggle between the two embodying the theme all into one character.
