I checked the link....it seems my original idea of Shiro coming back thru time to find Saber might still be useful.

Quote:So...it depends when Shiro finds Saber in her timeline..if it's after her final battle and after she becomes a heroic spirit (she'll be like Sleeping Beauty at this point). The sticking point is that he'll have to awaken her. The magic that made her a Heroic Spirit will have to be modified to allow her to move thru time and space. I doubt that Shiro could do that and he may have to appeal to Gaia for that to happen. Who knows what her conditions for that may be.
Arthur's soul is still alive and not in the Throne yet as she is not a Heroic Spirit. Which is why she carries on the direct memories instead of a record of what she did each time until she obtains a Holy Grail. In her case, she is more or less frozen in her time and what she experiences each time is like a dream to the body in her timeline. As she's binded to that, she's still considered "dead" in the modern world, meaning she won't age, can't take surgery, etc., just like other Servants. Restoration of the soul itself (as opposed to bringing a "dead" person back to life through the use of time travel, parallel worlds, and denial of nothingness; the result is still the same but the process and operating principles are different) as a being that's part of the current world timeline is only possible through the completed materialization of the soul.
