Ok so I just finished the last episode of UBW and I'm kind of confused. After the credits we get a little screen time with archer and he states that what he said wasn't wrong. Then we get a shot of shirou walking through a scorching hot desert. So does this mean shirous fate was inevitable and he ended up following the path archer was trying to sway him away from?

dat fucking thread title doe..........no he does not become archer. the desert scene was just poorly conveyed. Shirou's outcome is "optimistically ambiguous" Archer is a completely different shirou from any iteration of shirou that we see on screen. throughout the course of fate/stay night Archer has let slip information that contradicts what shirou should know. such as Saber's contract which is a plot point that was never made privy throughout UBW.

Yes/No. The soul of Emiya Shirou is permanently stuck as a Counter Guardian, but UBW Shirou will not walk the route that led to him becoming Archer

The current Shirou in UBW will not become archer (so far we know) because he has a more content life with Rin Thosaka.

Archer (Shirou) is "removed" from time and his being is held in an other plane of existence for the purpose of being a guardian. Also the grail summoned an archer, so if Shirou was to die, the current Archer wouldn't disappear.
 
Maybe watching, maybe reading, probably living
