The Nasuverse is a setting filled with an immense amount of backstory, an extremely complicated set of rules for its Functional Magic, and protagonists who sometimes have to ask hard questions about themselves and the people around them. In any given work, death, deceit, and betrayal abounds.But let's ignore all of that and focus on the characters involved having fun!Based on the official Type-Moon gag manga Take Moon by Eri Takenashi, Carnival Phantasm takes the casts of Tsukihime and Fate/stay night and places them in a series of wacky situations, such as the Fifth Grail War being reduced to a game show or grand prix.There are 3 'Seasons', with the first released mid-August 2011, the second released at the end of October 2011, and the third getting its day at the very end of 2011. Included on the final disc release was the OVA Fate/Prototype, a short animation showing off concepts and designs meant for the original incarnation of Fate/stay night.During the Type-Moon Fes. 10th Anniversary Event of 2013, they displayed a new Carnival Phantasm episode.As this is essentially a spinoff of both Tsukihime and Fate/stay night, many of the tropes used on their respective pages would also apply here. Please limit the tropes used to examples specifically pertaining to Carnival Phantasm.On December 31st 2020, Type-Moon announced a sequel known as Fate/Grand Carnival, which features the cast of Fate/Grand Order.

comment
Tempting Fate: Archer and Nanako share a table in the cafe, and start talking about their respective "masters"—namely, they start making fun of them, concluding that "all female masters are idiots." Just as they start laughing, the cafe door is heard opening, along with an ominous growl. The still shot right afterwards implies that Rin and Ciel heard everything and promptly attack them both. Shirou and Shiki's Zany Scheme in Episode 12 begins falling apart immediately after Shirou internally comments that they're successfully pulling it off. Cue Illya shattering that to pieces.

The Cameo
 Carnival Phantasm / int_1b65dfad
comment
The Cameo: Aoko Aozaki in her Mahou Tsukai no Yoru form shows up briefly in an advertisment on the back of a book Arcueid is reading. The opening also showcases a whole bunch of Type-Moon characters that never made it into the episodes proper; e.g., Caren Hortensia. The Garden of Sinners fans may spot a familiar blue kimono/red jacket combo in the audience in the first episode. If you look very closely to the right side of the first time we see the audience in the first episode, you can spot Saegusa Yukika, Makidera Kaede and Himuro Kane. They can also be seen as bystanders in Episode 10. These three, along with Mitsuzuri Ayako, Mitsuzuri Minori and Hotaruzuka Otoko, are also in the audience in Episode 9. Arcueid herself constantly pops up in the Fate sections, usually completely unruffled by the chaos occurring around her. Some are easier to spot than others, such as being a customer at the cafe in Episode 8. The finale of season two also has Red Saber popping up during the Tiger Dojo. Season three's finale has brief glimpses of cast members from essentially every Nasuverse continuity, even ones that debatably aren't part of it or definitely aren't. Episode 6's mushroom monster that Marvel Phantas-moon (Arcueid) fights against is Kinoko Nasu's avatar. The 2013 episode shows many characters from the Nasuverse, notably from Fate/Zero and Fate/EXTRA, in a massive rush of Super-Deformed characters. Also, Hibiki Hibino and Chikagi Katsuragi, two characters appearing only on the Type Moon website, appear prominently during the first part of the episode.

Back-to-Back Badasses
 Carnival Phantasm / int_1f19f198
comment
Back-to-Back Badasses: Hilariously subverted. Shiki and Shirou do wind up literally back to back at one point, both facing the same lethal threat. Unfortunately, said lethal threat is Saber and Arc, who are extremely pissed that each respective guy tried to be a player all day to their universe's respective love interests. Needless to say, the end results involve a lot of unmanly screaming from each guy as Saber and Arc kick their asses. It is the fact that they stick together against the odds that allows them to pull an off-screen maneuver in order to escape most of the wrath of a force that could magic-nuke a forest and safely retreat thanks to Shiki's prior actions. Made even better by a previous sly little shot shown between Shiki and Shirou running about trying to please everyone: the shot shows Shiki confidently taking off his glasses to combat a wild bear he meets in the woods on his way to seeing one of the girls. The man can take on a bear with nothing but his magical eyes and his knife, but still trembles in fear of his girlfriend. Of course, the bear would have simply killed him; Arcueid can do much worse. He even points this out in Episode 4.

Ironic Echo: Inter-Works example. At one point Arcueid gets seriously pissed off at Ciel 'stealing' Shiki away, but Shiki reminds her that Ciel saved his life once, so he can't be cold towards her, and that Arcueid should treat her better. This is an echo of what happens in Ciel's Good End of Tsukihime, where Ciel's attempts to make Arcueid go away are foiled by Shiki reminding Ciel that Arcueid was the one who saved him from Roa in the end, so he can't be hard on her. Also within the same episode: when Arcueid transfers into Shiki's class, she drags Shiki away from Ciel when the bell rings, throwing Ciel's previous line (with appropriate changes) right back at her.

Only Sane Man: Satsuki seems to be the only member of the Back Alley Alliance who can avoid entering Cloud Cuckoo Lander territory.

Illya tries to be this during the Tiger Dojo segments, but she either fails spectaculary at reigning Taiga in or ends up joining in whatever Taiga's doing.

Unwanted Assistance: Sakura kicking Rider around just to make her point. Rider gets Shinji to feel this way by doing a sadistic version of this that keeps getting him hurt every time he tries to be a Jerkass, basically an animated version of a doujinshi with the same plot. Bonus points for milking his perception of how useless she is and weaponizing it.

Game-Breaker: In-Universe example.

One of them will trigger the pirate to pop out, and the winner is the first one to do so., with Lancer being the pirate. Saber inserts her sword, Archer inserts his sword... cue Gilgamesh with Gate of Babylon.

Anachronism Stew: A bit — Type-Moon works are typically set during their debut year. Granted, other TM works are more careful about the timeframe, while CP... doesn't need to be. During Episode 5, Illya is playing on an Xbox 360 at home. That makes sense for a German 18-year-old in 2010, when the episode was produced, but F/SN is set during 2004, a full year before the 360 existed. During the special, Riesbyfe uses the "Mutter" social app, a stand-in for Twitter. Melty Blood takes place a little after Tsukihime, at the turn of the millennium, whereas Twitter launched in 2006.

The 2013 special, which among other things features the dating scenario as if the "Date Main Heroine" option had won, shows that even THAT wouldn't have worked... To sum things up, every single girl who hasn't been chosen turns Yandere. If anything things end up worse for the two of them in that route.

Mythology Gag
 Carnival Phantasm / int_26ac510e
comment
Mythology Gag: All over the damn place, considering this is a crossover gag manga/anime OVA. Perhaps too many to list, so here's a particularly obscure one. During Episode 4, the Neco Arcs are playing Fate/Stay Night... and reaching this bad ending. That specific bad end is considered by the game itself to be among the hardest bad endings to get, as it requires playing very specifically to piss Saber off as much as possible. The Neco Arcs complain that "the choices are too difficult". An interesting one to Fate/hollow ataraxia is during the Holy Grail Grand Prix where Rider and Shinji's vehicle is a "Mamachari" or Granny's Bike. In Hollow Ataraxia Shirou and Rider argue over whether Rider should take Bike No. 1, which is implied to be a speed bike, or Bike No. 2, the aforementioned Granny Bike. Gilgamesh stops Berser-Car with Enkidu, which is how he killed Berserker in Unlimited Blade Works. In the OVA EX, the Holy Grail Monster's true form is revealed to be Illyasviel von Einzbern, who's pissed off that she didn't get a route in Fate/Stay Night. Rin mentions Illya was originally going to have a route, but it was cancelled.

Funny Background Event
 Carnival Phantasm / int_26eb6287
comment
Funny Background Event: In the second episode (the beach volleyball competition), after Ciel crashes into Nanako trying to save the curry plate, the camera pans back to Sion and Akiha commenting on what just happened. Just a little beyond them, Hisui can be seen brainwashing Miyako with her classic finger-spinning motion. Internal Shout-Out and Mythology Gag, anyone? Don't miss the Mt. Rushmore of Fate villains in the background during the second stage of Tempest: Illya Castle. Several during the dancing portions of the opening theme, ranging from numerous foreground characters having different expressions or poses to Berserker wearing a giant Native American headdress and Gilgamesh throwing confetti in the background. And during the Grand Prix, right near the end, it's a "blink or you'll miss it" thing, but just as Shirou and Saber are catching up in the final stretch, you can see (but not hear) Gilgamesh yelling "bastard" repeatedly. He has a habit of saying this around Shirou. During the Phantasmoon segment in Episode 4, it turns out that the little black dog that Akiha feeds is a part of Nero that broke free and ran away. This information is courtesy of a "Lost Dog" poster next to Arcueid in the preceding shot. That same little dog is the one that takes the sandwich off the table during the Nrvnqsr/Kuzuki Sharing Tables segment in Episode 5. What's that on Shiki's nightstand when he fails to wake up in Episode 12? The Fate/Zero collection. Speaking of Episode 12, rewatching it and checking the background in Shirou's scenes reveals Sakura figured out he was cheating on her almost immediately and has been following him the whole day. These things are basically all over the place and finding them all requires a frame-by-frame viewing, especially with the animators being masters at keeping a regular watcher's attention directed elsewhere in the scenes.

comment
Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: Sakura in Episode 6 and again in Episode 12. Most of her internal monologue the first time ends with how awesome she is. Entirely Played for Laughs in both cases with her actions in Episode 6 being a part of the drama spoof and in 12 it's part of her role as spanner to the Zany Scheme. She also is disappointed that Shinji is turned into a good guy. See Demoted to Extra below as to why.

Nightmare Fetishist: In Episode 2, Akiha pictures herself winning the MVP prize — a night alone in a private room with Shiki — with the other love interests watching from a doorway. The only movement in the scene aside from a panning effect is Shiki's arm elongating into a tentacle-like appendage with a grotesque sound and closing the door. In Episode 4, Shiki sports a wistful expression as he says something worse than death awaits him if he angers girlfriend, while picturing Red Arcueid about to tear him apart.

Bland-Name Product
 Carnival Phantasm / int_2b5ea43c
comment
Bland-Name Product: The sponsors littering Episode 9. Also, Illya's consoles and Japanese games in Episode 5. On the other hand, though they are obscured, the covers for Battlestations: Pacific and Dead Space are ones from the real world and have not been modified. Also, non-Japanese viewers might think "Eneloop" is one for Energizer. Eneloop is a 100% real brand in Japan, produced by Panasonic. The show doesn't ding copyright because you never actually see the Eneloop logo on anything. The one time we do see batteries in Archer's hands, though, they are labeled "Banasonic". The most popular fansubs of the episode call them "Enerloop", which would qualify, but the katakana used by Illya at one point are very obviously "Eneloop", flat out, in kana. There's a box from Amezon in Kohaku's room at the beginning of the Koha-Ace anime. From the Special episode, Riesbyfe uses the "Mutter" social media app.note Funny enough, there is an actual app named Mutter, but it's an IRC client.

Sickeningly Sweethearts: Lancer and Bazett are obviously portrayed as a lovey-dovey couple here. Caren gets annoyed by their antics really quickly. Caster and Kuzuki play this surprisingly straight as well, though in their case it's endearingly played for "Awws" from the audience.

The Bad Guy Wins
 Carnival Phantasm / int_2e8441c9
comment
The Bad Guy Wins: Caster, one of the main villains of the Fate series, is the only character to get what she wants in the end (living a happy life with Souichirou). You don't really mind it too much since all her segments are cute and heartwarming while ignoring her usual sadism, especially since all her canonical storylines end in tragedy. And because this is a comedy series, she's not using underhanded tactics like siphoning mana out of innocent people or using any dirty tactics to keep her time with Souichirou.

Even Evil Has Standards: Shinji is a jackass and his complain about Gilgamesh not obeying him basically boils down on him being an entitled prick. But even he's bewildered when Grail-kun offered him the 'Friendmaker' to 'show him who's boss' as opposed to Kirei, who ran with Grail-kun's idea on his Servant.

Attention Whore
 Carnival Phantasm / int_31df118
comment
Attention Whore: Sakura puts up with Shinji not because she's intimidated by him, but because being abused by him makes her look good. When she accidentally makes him reform, she gets pissed at Rider for making her look less sympathetic and important. This is also an extended joke on how female protagonists in Asadora Soap Operas are "meant" to be treated (and Sakura being aware of that), but most non-Japanese viewers are likely to miss that component.

Evolving Credits: Each opening has two short sections where it flashes several manga-like stills in succession. The first set comes from various skits from that season, while the second is exclusively stills from that episode. The HibiChika and EX specials, not being part of any season, instead take both sets from that episode. The HibiChika special also features Hibiki and Chikagi taking the lead spots in the dance.

Lethal Chef: Inverted. Neco-Arc Babbles makes a Ramen that tastes so delicious that eating it is akin to the sensation of falling in love... Even though it looks so toxic and hideous the Directors could not show it onscreen without censor-blurring it. Arcueid's attempt to make okonomiyaki from a very vague description also counts. She doesn't even butcher the pig and octopus (which she thought was a squid when she caught it) before trying to cook them.

comment
The Harem Seeker part would have been averted in the last episode if the option "Date Main Heroine" had won fan vote over "Date all girls at once". The 2013 special, which among other things features the dating scenario as if the "Date Main Heroine" option had won, shows that even THAT wouldn't have worked... To sum things up, every single girl who hasn't been chosen turns Yandere. If anything things end up worse for the two of them in that route. The setup for this section implies that they have already scheduled dates with all the girls for that day, thus the "Date Main Heroine" option includes an unspoken "Cancel dates with other girls in last moment" action.

Ascended Meme: Fans often joked that the major difference between Saber and Saber Alter was that the latter didn't have her Ahoge and that she could probably will the transformation just by pulling it off, which was the plot of at least one doujinshi and a joke in Fate/hollow ataraxia. Cue Saber doing just that in Episode 8.

Zany Scheme: Shiki and Shirou's plan to keep all their potential love interests happy falls square into this trope. It starts with Shiki having to be in two different places at exactly the same time, and it only gets worse from there. Shirou's plan can be recapped thusly: "I'll just tell them all to deal with it because I want everyone to be happy! They'll understand!" Also, Akiha Vermillion's plans in the Phantasmoon segments. Coming second in manga contests and starting a cosmetics line? You fiend!

When Gilgamesh makes her truly angry while she is waitressing at the Neco-Arcs' cafe, Saber rips her Idiot Hair out and transforms into Saber Alter, dressed in her Elegant Gothic Lolita civilian clothes. Her charisma is so powerful even Gilgamesh is intimidated enough to say, "I'm sorry." In the ending to Episode 12, the Shadow appears behind Sakura as she breaks into a Slasher Smile at the sight of Nrvnqsr Chaos eating Shinji.

Manipulative Bastard: It's subtle but it's implied that Sakura is responsible for Shirou's Two-Timer Date scheme going down in flames. She not only follows Shirou to each of his date locations with Saber and Rin, but when all the girls start confronting Shirou after learning the truth, Sakura puts on a fake ingenue persona to mask that she knew what was going on.

Characterization Marches On
 Carnival Phantasm / int_479f9ad0
comment
Characterization Marches On: Looking back later on (especially in a post-Fate/Grand Order world), some of the characterization here can seem a little strange as things have gone forward. The biggest one for sure is Lancer and his joke about dying all the time... since Lancer himself and his very popular Alter Berserker version are incredibly famous in Grand Order for being unbelievably hard to kill and carrying teams to victory. Now, that's probably part of the franchise-wise, decade-plus-long gag, but Grand Order is just so much more popular and well-known than any other Nasuverse work that Lancer dying all the time can just feel weird to newer fans. Episode 11 is the one that would more match Lancer's future mechanics characterization. A little more seriously, Sakura as a yandere-ish stalker. In the wake of the animated Fate/Zero (earlier episodes of which aired in tandem with CP releases), the animated Unlimited Blade Works, Fate/EXTRA CCC in general (even though that's not quite the same Sakura), and the entire Heaven's Feel trilogy, this interpretation of Sakura's character has fallen sharply out of favor with the fanbase, even as a joke. These days it just comes across as the writers being mean and forcing Sakura to be out of character. Illya also gets a little bit... since she's based mostly on her Fate route self with a bit of Zero thrown in for flavor. Nowadays, the complete lack of any Prisma Illya content for her, or even much in the way of UBW or Heaven's Feel route refs, feels perplexing (especially since Prillya had been running for a couple years when the main body of CP episodes came out, though the real explosion of Prillya popularity was a few years out yet). Conspicuously, there's an episode that features a pretty extensive magical girl parody, and Illya is involved in it... as a monster who became corrupted by not getting a route.

Leaning on the Fourth Wall: The Trauma Monster in the Phantasmoon Movie in the EX episode is Illya lamenting that she doesn't have her own route. After her defeat, Kaleido Ruby states that, "This came from changing the game mechanics," which is exactly what happened because Illya did have a route planned for her in Fate/stay night but most of it got folded into Heaven's Feel.

Disproportionate Retribution: In the Hibichika Special, Shiki and Shirou are rather horribly "punished" for the terrible crime of... planning to take the main heroines of their games, Arcueid and Saber, for dates. All secondary heroines who have routes are in on it, in a serious Out-of-Character Moment. Shiki is the one who gets off easy — he is "only" stalked by Ciel, attacked by Akiha while taking a shower, and locked out of the mansion. Shirou gets life-leeching curses from Rin, and worms from Sakura.

Crazy-Prepared: Assassin, with an emphasis on Crazy. In order to compete in the 5th Holy Grail War race he brings the Ryudou Shrine gate with him on a semi-truck, then has one of Caster's Protection Charms to ensure that he does not have an accident while driving. It's only because of Illya and BerSer-CAR that he loses. Rin and Archer think what he did was both impressive and completely insane. Shirou and Shiki TRY to do this for their insane date plans. It... fails.

Magic Versus Science: Played with in a short where Magus Prodigy (and Walking Techbane) Rin has to do Shirou a favour and help him record a television programme when his job keeps him working late. Rin, trying (and failing) to apply knowledge of VCRs to a Blu-Ray recorder, is left in a blind panic and requires Archer to explain to her all that she needed to do and why. And then she ends up recording the wrong channel.

The Gadfly: Neko Arc in spades when it comes to the Holy Grail. Arc is a shameless bully to Ciel and is clearly enjoying herself. Archer could remind Rin that programming a Blu-Ray Recorder is extremely simple, but after she refused his assistance he prefers to simply hang back and watch her flail about while enjoying himself immensely, up until the very last moment. Rin is not amused. Assassin is barely in Episode 7, but uses his few lines to push Caster's buttons. Between this and Chewing the Scenery, annoying other characters seems to be Gilgamesh's sole reason for doing anything: every time he shows up he tries to either derail the plot or have fun at the expense of everyone else, and he almost always shows up in time to steal the show.

Sitcom Arch-Nemesis: Ciel and Arcueid have this gimmick going on as a Lighter and Softer version of their canonical status as sworn enemies. Any time spent with each is spent with them almost always cat-fighting, with their player lottery putting them on the same volleyball team for the Beach Episode being outright Teeth-Clenched Teamwork, with Arcueid repeatedly beaning Ciel in the face with a volleyball; when Ciel openly has enough and begins to realize it's on purpose, Arcueid cheerily remarks "Haha, you could tell?". The very next episode as Ciel outright nearly fighting Arcueid on the school grounds when she transfers to Shiki's school the very next episode. Needless to say, all of this is Played for Laughs. Even the opening gets in on this!

Unwanted Harem
 Carnival Phantasm / int_71019994
comment
Unwanted Harem: Averted for both Shiki and Shirou — they both want to date all their girls, and pay the price for it. Or at least, Shiki wants to date them all whereas Shirou just wants everyone to be happy, but has the handicap of being, well, Shirou. The Harem Seeker part would have been averted in the last episode if the option "Date Main Heroine" had won fan vote over "Date all girls at once". The 2013 special, which among other things features the dating scenario as if the "Date Main Heroine" option had won, shows that even THAT wouldn't have worked... To sum things up, every single girl who hasn't been chosen turns Yandere. If anything things end up worse for the two of them in that route. The setup for this section implies that they have already scheduled dates with all the girls for that day, thus the "Date Main Heroine" option includes an unspoken "Cancel dates with other girls in last moment" action.

Brother–Sister Incest: Not appearing on-screen, and neither is actually related to their "sibling", but: Ahika desperately wants to get the MVP "spend the night with Shiki" prize in the beach volleyball segment. Shinji attempts this in Episode 6, but Rider gives Sakura Caster's Rule Breaker to stop him. In Episode 10, Brainwashing Detective Hisui-chan investigates several murders; one victim is Tohno SHIKI, and the word "siscon" is written in marker on his chest.

Gretzky Has the Ball: The rules of beach volleyball are stated to not be in play even before starting, which is fortunate. Even if Ciel did manage to keep the ball in play and not rescue the curry, her team would have lost the point anyway because she was the last one to touch the ball despite it bouncing off her face. (Official rules of Volleyball state that the same player may not touch the ball twice in a row during a play.) Justified Trope: Not only are the rules not in play, but she was told to do so by ARCUEID, who hates her.

Even better is that Saber Alter uses it to take down Gilgamesh. After Shirou tells Shiki it's impossible to be in two places at once, Shiki retorts with, "I'll make it happen!" (Otherwise he'll be killed.) "My Riding skill is A+. I can ride even granny bikes to speed!" Even better is that Rider is clearly having fun!

Humiliation Conga: During "Berserker's First Errand", the first Servant to get defeated by accident is Gilgamesh, who gets a club dropped on him and gets smashed through multiple floors of a building. Later on, during Berserker's rampage... He gets trampled. There's something karmically satisfying about seeing him getting humiliated in such a manner. note Especially after seeing the Unlimited Blade Works route.

Back from the Dead: Aside from Episode 11's Sequel Hook, Lancer mysteriously comes back to life in the 2013 episode after being killed by Black Keys and a "Servant Strengthening Device". Considering how much of a deal that Hibiki and Chikagi made over finding this body it is unusual that nobody at all comments on him being back and unharmed without explanation. The talking cell phone constantly annoys Chikagi, gets snapped in half by her...and returns a few seconds later to annoy her some more.

comment
Out-of-Character Moment: In the Illya's Castle segment, Saber becomes a high-pitched fast-talking loon whenever she sees food, whereas the rest of the characters stay relatively in-character. This is especially hilarious during the Mushroom Trip and Die Lorelei stages: A more obscure version is Shiki and Shirou's buddy buddy attitude. Kinoku Nasu has gone on record and stated that they "would definitely get along badly." Kotomine Kirei, while a sociopathic sadist in canon, is in Carnival Phantasm an exasperated referee who doesn't want anyone to get hurt... because it'd mean he'd have to pay to clean up the damage. The last half of the 2013 special where Shiki and Shirou's other love interests go Yandere on them. Rin actually uses magic to suck Shirou's life force out of him. Sakura in the series compared to the normal games to the sheer extent that it might overflow and be considered "normal" for the series.

Throw the Dog a Bone
 Carnival Phantasm / int_98576799
comment
Throw the Dog a Bone: After being killed in essentially every episode, even in episodes where he didn't have a proper appearance, Lancer finally gets an episode devoted to going back and preventing each death. Sadly, the person giving him the chance is basically in it to see Lancer suffer even more, so it doesn't quite go as planned. That said, even after everything that happens, including seemingly being killed a new time by the volleyball from Episode 2, the Sequel Hook at the end of the episode shows that Lancer lived. They throw Lancer another one in the 2013 special. Though he still gets killed in the beginning of the episode, he actually spends a day at the beach unharmed.

The Day the Music Lied: Played for laughs in Episode 4 when Shirou & Shiki are making plans for their dates which all overlap with other girls. They are accompanied by a rocky BGM just for it to stop when they realize that the plans they made are all impossible. Same in Episode 1: When Shirou decides to destroy the Grail and end the war, the music sweeps up until the Grail is broken and its contents revealed... to be Neco Arc.

Noblewoman's Laugh: Rin, in Episode 4. While assuring Shirou that, because she's a genius, recording a TV show will be easy for her. The results are hilarious, especially when she realises it's a Blu-ray player and she doesn't know what to do. Or rather, is told by Archer that it is a Blu-ray recorder. She thought it was a MegaDisk. Then there's also Akiha's very nervous one in Episode 2.

Akiha is superhuman, true, but she's simply nowhere near the same level as Arcueid. However, she persists in matching Arcueid point-for-point in a volleyball match up to five hundred and twenty five points through sheer, single-minded determination (and long after everyone else had dropped out of the running), all for the sake of the grand prize — having Shiki all to herself. Of course, at the end of the match, Akiha is completely exhausted while Arcueid doesn't even look winded, so it creates the implication that she wasn't even trying.

The Many Deaths of You
 Carnival Phantasm / int_a7325f9e
comment
The Many Deaths of You: Always Played for Laughs with Lancer in a They Killed Kenny Again manner. Episode 1: Impaled by Gilgamesh's Gate of Babylon and electrocuted by a stage light. Episode 2: Doesn't appear. Or does he? Episode 3: Hit by a car. Episode 4: Killed in an accident before the episode starts. His body is later fed to Nrvnqsr Chaos's puppy by Akiha, with a disguised Arcueid watching nearby. Episode 5: Turned into Berserker's new weapon and finished off after being used as his Noble Phantasm (but does seem to twitch at the last second of the final shot.) Episode 6: Taken out by Rider's Noble Phantasm (as collateral damage). Episode 7: Struck by lightning (on a sunny day). Episode 8: Fed to Saber Lion. Episode 9: Crashing his dragster. It can't turn. Episode 10: Crushed by a falling I-beam. Illya Castle Special: Fails to escape the crumbling castle. HibiChika Special: Stabbed by a "Servant Strengthening Device" and a number of Black Keys. Then is seen alive later in the episode with no explanation whatsoever or reaction from those who found his body earlier. Episode 11: Subverts all previous deaths! Then dies to the volleyball in Episode 2... Then rises from his grave.

Adaptational Jerkass: Sakura, contrary to her normal characterization, tends to be completely vile to everyone around her in her few appearances. This is also in comparison to Take Moon, especially in the "Circumstances of the Matou Family" chapter (where her character asides didn't happen). What makes Sakura's jerkassery so bizarre is that she's a Jerkass to the people that care for her, drop-kicking Rider who was trying to help her from her abuse from Shinji and going Yandere on Shirou, yet is forgiving of Shinji's abuse of her, because being abused by him makes her look better.

Oh, Crap!: Upon realizing that Shirou has a Blu-ray player and not a VCR, Rin is struck dumb with horror. Assassin, Caster, and (to a lesser extent) Archer get one each in Episode 5 before Berserker defeats them. Berserker himself when he realizes he'd forgotten about the errand and envisions a fairly angry Illya. Even Saber has a few of her own: one when she gets caught trying to nap with Shirou in Episode 3 and another when she sees Gilgamesh is her next customer in Episode 8. Shiki and Shiro constantly in Episode 12, whenever there's a hiccup in their Zany Scheme. Given the potential that their lives are on the line, it's completely justified.

She quits school after a single day and gets herself hired as a janitor instead.

Epic Fail: Remember that date plan Shiki and Shirou had in Season 1? The one that they themselves thought was impossible? In the very final episode, you get to see them try to pull it off. And fail. MISERABLY. Shirou fails almost from the get-go. Sakura is stalking him through most of the episode. And he completely forgets his appointment with Illya who shows up at the mall looking for him. Shiki screws up far more than Shirou does. His first fail is ''not getting up at the appointed time''. And then he forgets two of his dates, the second of which, Sion, completely ruins his attempt to salvage the whole thing.

Lost in Translation
 Carnival Phantasm / int_b7920c43
comment
Lost in Translation: The "Berserker's First Errand" sketch from Episode 5 is a spoof of the My First Errand/Old Enough! series, which follows young children embarking on their first errands. While popular in Japan, at the time of Carnival Phantasm's release most Western audiences were unfamiliar with the concept. "Type-Moon Serial TV Novel Sakura" is a spoof of asadora soap operas, which are well known in Japanese but not so much elsewhere in the world, leading to many Western viewers being confused as to why Sakura would be upset about Rider saving her from being raped by Shinji and using Rule Breaker to purge the hatred and resentment from him.

Demoted to Extra: Not Satsuki Yumizuka, who in fact gets a decent chunk of screentime considering her low overall importance. She has a dedicated slot concerning her and the Back Alley Alliance at the end of the episodes during Episodes 2 through 4. Rather, the person who got hit with this trope the hardest is Sakura. One of the three main heroines of Fate/stay night, and she doesn't even get a speaking role for the entirety of season one! Isn't it sad, Sakura? When she finally gets an episode devoted to her, it focuses more on Rider with the joke being that all Sakura has going for her is putting up with Shinji. And Sakura is really not portrayed as sympathetic, even in an episode about her abuse.... Assassin is STILL at the Temple Gates being forgotten about as the opening points out. He is represented by a cardboard cutout everywhere that's not the Temple Gates (including the beginning and ending credits). He's unable to leave the shrine gates, so he can't appear much in the series. Until later he participates in the race... with the gates riding on his racecar. Bazett has been in the opening and closing the whole time before she finally shows up in Extra in a moment which clearly defines that being Lancer's Master affords her the same status as her Servant.

So Unfunny, It's Funny: The Afterschool Alleyway Alliance is definitely going for this, mainly due to the fact that they use the exact same gags and routine over and over, frequently seem to be having trouble with their characters, and transition to a new sequence with mechanical predictability, even striking a special timed pose that suggests they worked much harder on their routine than it deserved.

Lancer survives the onslaught in Illya's Castle final battle and was overjoyed as credits roll... cue Illya blowing up the castle, and everyone ran away as Lancer constantly complain that it should've just ended after Illya is beaten, until he finally died falling to the Bottomless Pit.

In Episode 12, Sakura can be seen staring balefully at Shirou and Rin from the background before he runs off, then is sitting in another theatre when he arrives. She is also seen at lurking at the buffet twice when Shirou runs back to check on Saber, the second time even in full view of Shirou but he is too distracted to notice her.

In Episode 8, while Berserker is trying to smash the cafe, nobody inside does anything about it, the people inside being Arcueid, Gilgamesh, and Nrvnqsr Chaos, all of whom should be able to beat Berserker in a straight fight. Only Saber does anything, which is to kindly ask him to calm down.

Mundane Made Awesome
 Carnival Phantasm / int_d148b019
comment
Mundane Made Awesome: Almost everything in this show, to some extent. The crowning example has to be the beach volleyball game, which ends up getting spoofed as a Melty Blood match, complete with Miyako pulling off dramatic kung-fu poses before striking the ball, Ciel activating Blood Heat and bringing the Seventh Holy Scripture to bear, Akiha inverting to give herself a power boost, and Arcueid channeling Red Arcueid and dropping the moon onto the court. Inverted in Episode 1, with the Holy Grail War becoming a mundane but bloody hilarious Game Show. And by extension, the Grail War Race. It's essentially the Type-Moon version of Wacky Races. But the most prominent example is the epic rapid-fire coin inserting on Shirou's part near the end. Kuzuki Souichirou and Nrvnqsr Chaos sitting in a restaurant, with Nrvnqsr's beasts acting up. Yes, it's a "Granny Bike," but in the hands of Rider...

 Carnival Phantasm / int_d99a228f
comment
Unusually Uninteresting Sight: None of the Tsukihime cast in Episode 2 appear to care that there is a crashed rocket ship at the Tohno Family Beach despite the fact there is a sign that clearly states, "Unauthorized entry is prohibited." Then again, they are playing volleyball for the right to spend a night with Shiki. Volleyball with special skills and super-powers in use. Which means they don't really care about anything else. Also, Arcueid vs. just about anything. Berserker assaulting the cafe she's eating at? Waitress pulls her Idiot Hair and turns into a superpowered dominatrix? "Eh." Completely in character for her.

Nemesis as Customer: Episode 8's "Saber at Work" has Saber work as a waitress at Ahnenerbe, and problems don't start for her (if anything, it's the customers who are caused trouble because of how she treats her job) until Gilgamesh arrives with his usual attitude. After being reminded by her manager that he is a customer and that she must do what he says, Saber takes Gilgamesh's order while having trouble containing her hatred for him. Once Gilgamesh says that he would like Saber for his takeout, she finally snaps and turns into Saber Alter to give him a piece of her mind.

Determinator: Both Shirou and Shiki in Episode 12 as they literally run themselves ragged to implement their Zany Scheme. Kohaku in the Koha-Ace anime as she lets nothing stop her from delivering important(?) news to Akiha. Akiha is superhuman, true, but she's simply nowhere near the same level as Arcueid. However, she persists in matching Arcueid point-for-point in a volleyball match up to five hundred and twenty five points through sheer, single-minded determination (and long after everyone else had dropped out of the running), all for the sake of the grand prize — having Shiki all to herself. Of course, at the end of the match, Akiha is completely exhausted while Arcueid doesn't even look winded, so it creates the implication that she wasn't even trying.

Mundane Utility: Saber works at a cafe to help out and make money to buy Shirou a birthday present. While there, her B rank Charisma comes into play, meaning that while she's an awful waitress, the customers and staff worship her and do whatever she says. Caster's crafting of a good-luck charm for Soichirou. It gives him actual, incredible luck. Justified as Caster's Crafting skill is exceptional (Rank A), even though (like Saber's Rank A in Riding outside of Fate/Zero) it never comes into play in the original stories. Also given to Assassin during the race for the grail, to help his driving. Caster also employs her Crafting skill to assemble and paint garage kits of Saber. She's even got an airbrush, a compressor and a respirator mask. Rider using her A+ rank in Riding to accelerate a pedal bike to faster than a racing motorcycle. Caren using her Shroud of Magdalene to sort male and female chicks apart. Normally it's used to bind men until they are attacked. Caster using her Rule Breaker as her wallet's "keychain."

Ciel chooses to follow around Shiki to every restaurant he goes to so that she can replace his dishes with curry, and is so persistent that he eventually starts to hallucinate that the water from his faucet is curry.

comment
Running Gag: Lancer being subject to grievous harm for no real reason. Assassin not being present in any non-temple scenes and getting replaced with a cardboard cut-out (yes, even in the ending). The Afterschool! Alleyway Alliance segments have Sion repeatedly saying "This was within my calculations" before she, Satsuki, and Riesbyfe turn, snap their fingers, and say the name of their sketch in unison. In the Phantasmoon segments, there are two recurring jokes: 1. Fate heroes appearing as "mysterious allies" to Phantasmoon (the one exception is Master Panda, who of course did not appear in the Tsukihime visual novel), and 2. Ren dramatically giving Arcueid random food items for no reason. In Episode 6, Sakura beating up and berating Rider for trying to help her stand up to Shinji. The Season 1 DVD commentaries all include a moment where Ciel shoots Neko Arc. The Church and Magus Association basically being out of money after having to cover up so much chaos.

Lancer is abused constantly and dies nearly every episode with the cameo in the Phantasm Moon skit being one of the Butt Monkey-est moments in the whole show. He even gets dragged into completely unrelated scenes just to be abused throughout the series, especially in the second season. It may be a reference to Lancer's E-grade Luck from his Fate/stay night Servant Status page. Double subverted during the final boss encounter in Illya's Castle. Lancer, to his delight, survives the battle... only for Illya to activate a trap, to his annoyance, which collapses the entire castle. Unfortunately for Lancer, he doesn't make it out alive. Lampshaded by Kotomine, when he approaches Grail-kun and begs him for help after addressing Lancer's uselessness. Grail-kun suggests that he kill Lancer and form a contract with a different Servant.
