Fate/stay night [Unlimited Blade Works] is a 2014-2015 adaptation of the visual novel Fate/stay night, produced by studio ufotable. The anime adapts the second route of that game, named "Unlimited Blade Works", while incorporating a number of references to Fate/stay night's prequel, Fate/Zero, which was also adapted by ufotable in 2011-2012. The first season premiered in October 2014 and the second in April 2015.At the end of the fourth Holy Grail War, Kiritsugu Emiya rescued a young boy, Shirou, whose memories and sense of self were lost in the fire that followed the destruction of the Corrupted Grail. Seeking redemption, Kiritsugu adopts the boy, but passes away five short years later, leaving the boy with only his old dream of becoming a Hero of Justice to follow, and an incomplete knowledge of magecraft to fulfill it.Ten years after the fourth war, a new Holy Grail War begins. Tokiomi Tohsaka's daughter, Rin, has prepared to enter it for most of her life, but runs into a last-minute problem. Despite aiming for getting a Servant of the Saber class, she ends up summoning one of the Archer class due to an oversight. However, this Servant claims to not know his own identity due to an amnesia caused by Rin's clumsy summoning.When Shirou witnesses Rin and Archer battle another Servant, he is killed by Rin's opponent in order to preserve The Masquerade. Feeling guilty, Rin uses the magic pendant that her father left her to revive Shirou, only to see him dragged into the war as a Master himself on the very same night. His Servant? Saber — the very same one that was summoned by his adoptive father ten years ago.The story of this arc focuses more on Shirou's character growth and his relationship with Rin than do other arcs. Most importantly, however, it centers on his dream of fulfilling Kiritsugu's ideal of becoming a "Hero of Justice" capable of saving everyone, which clashes directly with Archer's more cynical and pessimistic view on heroism—a clash that is the key of the identity of the mysterious Servant.The anime can be streamed legally in several countries via Crunchyroll and the first season can be found on Netflix. The second season was briefly available on Netflix, but removed in late 2015 before being re-added in 2016. The 2015 Blu-Ray release included extended scenes as well as the light novel Garden of Avalon as bonus content. The American Blu-Ray was announced in July 2015 for an August 2015 release.Not to be confused with the Studio DEEN movie adaptation from 2010 of the same name.This page assumes that you watched the Fate/Zero anime, so there'll be unmarked spoilers.

Anyone Can Die: Like Fate/Zero, the first season is mostly death-free for the major characters (with the exception of Rider), but the second season starts killing them off as the war gets intense.

Ripped from the Headlines: Episode 19 shows a number of scenes where Archer had to "clean up" a lot of humanity's messes. One of these involves a lot of dead guys who look just like Islamic militants. The same day the episode aired, the United States announced they had taken out a senior Islamic State commander via an ultra-top secret commando mission into Syria. This is an anime-exclusive scene, so you know ufotable had to be referencing current events.

Adaptational Villainy: Archer. he even factors her victory in the Grail War into his plan to kill Shirou, wanting to manipulate events so that after Shirou is slain and Archer fades away due to the paradox, Rin and Saber would make a contract with each other and ride to victory as an unstoppable team. This plan is Adapted Out in the anime, with Archer's line mentioning how it factored into his primary goal not being present.

Adaptation Expansion
 Fate/stay night [Unlimited Blade Works] / int_23473ae7
comment
Another one happens in the finale thanks to the Adaptation Expansion in the final episode of the first season. In episode 12, Shirou is willing to allow Caster to take his arm in order to save Taiga without thinking of another, less-harming alternative, showing his lack of self-preservation. In episode 24, Shirou shouts that he would rather cut of his arm than allow Gilgamesh to get out of the hole of the grail; this time, however, it's clear that doing so is the only way to save himself from being swallowed by the vortex too, which means he finally has some sense of self-value. And, in both cases, Archer is the one to bail out Shirou.

Mythology Gag
 Fate/stay night [Unlimited Blade Works] / int_26ac510e
comment
Mythology Gag: The massive halberd Leysritt has in Episode 15 is the same weapon she uses in Fate/unlimited codes. One that carries over from the original VN; in Episode 16, Lancer mentions he and Gilgamesh wouldn't get along. In the route that came prior to UBW, Fate, Lancer and Gilgamesh were told to fight together by Kirei but they turned on each other almost immediately, with Lancer being killed. Also in that same episode, the place Shirou and Rin walk to after leaving the Einzbern Castle is the same house that is used as a refuge in the Fate route. The beginning of Episode 19 shows Shirou making his pact with the world and becoming Counter-Guardian EMIYA. The area it takes place is the cooling area of a nuclear reactor about to blow up, which matches with his backstory as according to Fate/EXTRA. In episode 19, Mordred makes an appearance during Saber's flashback wearing the armor and wielding her Noble Phantasm, the sword Clarent, from Fate/Apocrypha. In the second ending if you pay close enough attention you can see that the corpse Saber is crying over is Mordred. In episode 20, after Shirou recovers the will to fight, we see an scene of him pulling out a sword on a hill (Just like Saber with Caliburn), he even uses Avalon afterwards. In Episode 21, the vision Saber sees in her mind contrasting the innocent girl she once was versus the blood-stained knight she became has her innocent self wearing the same dress that she has in the "Last Episode" epilogue in the Fate/Stay Night: Realta Nua PS2 / PS Vita remake of the original visual novel. More flashbacks of Archer's past in that same episode show him being friendly with children in a Middle Eastern country, harkening back to a CG image◊ from Fate/EXTRA. Shirou has a nightmare where blades erupt from his body, killing him, in a reference to one of the bad endings of "Heaven's Feel" and "Fate" (when he gets thrown from the third floor). As with the original anime adaptation of "Unlimited Blade Works", the mana transfer scene between Shirou and Rin is censored complete with magical blue dolphins. When trying to save Rin, Saber would have stepped in Angra Mainyu's black ooze, the same substance that turned her into Saber Alter in "Heaven's Feel". Like in the Fate route of the VN, Gilgamesh uses Merodach against Shirou in melee combat. Unlike in the Fate route, Shirou doesn't use the weaker derivative Caliburn but instead uses his own Merodach, allowing him to overpower and disarm Gilgamesh this time around. Gilgamesh's dome attack, where he surrounds his opponent with Gate of Babylon portals and then fires weapons at them from every direction, is taken directly from his fight against True Archer in Fate/strange Fake. And just like True Archer, Shirou is able to No-Sell it. Rin's personality in the epilogue is similar to that of an AU counterpart of herself that Shirou accidentally calls in the Mimic Rin scene from Fate/hollow ataraxia.

Fantastic Nuke: Lancer's Gae Bolg's true ability is classified as an anti-army Noble Phantasm when thrown, and creates a localized explosion that dwarves the Fuyuki Church when clashing with Archer's Rho Aias. Fortunately, it dissipates quickly to avoid collateral damage. Archer's Caladbolg basically IS a nuke, considering the size of the explosion it makes when it hits Berserker in Episode 3. Gilgamesh unleashes a small burst of Ea's power to destroy an appendage of the Grail that was attempting to grab him, completely shattering the surrounding buildings in the process.

Ominous Visual Glitch: This happens when the audience sees Ea through Shirou's point of view. It represents Shirou's inability to comprehend the makeup of Ea, which is because it comes from a time before reality existed. Staring at it for too long would eventually break his mind.

Wolverine Publicity: Not as strong as with the original visual novel, but although Shirou is The Protagonist, Rin, Saber and Archer are often more prominent in the promotional material. It's to the point where it's Rin and Archer sharing the spotlight in the Netflix cover (though technically Shirou's there too, since he IS Archer in another life).

Good Thing You Can Heal
 Fate/stay night [Unlimited Blade Works] / int_3456f3c5
comment
Good Thing You Can Heal: Berserker's God Hand ability appears to makes him immune to all but the most powerful legendary weapons was relatively downplayed, presumably so that the anime can show off his Resurrective Immortality powers, Gilgamesh however quickly realises his ability and immediately draws his most powerful Noble Phantasms against him. A lot of attention is paid to Shirou's ability to heal very quickly, because he keeps getting gravely injured and healing by the next day.

Curb-Stomp Battle
 Fate/stay night [Unlimited Blade Works] / int_3d699462
comment
Curb-Stomp Battle: When fighting Caster within her own territory, Archer deliberately misses with all of his attacks yet still beats her within an inch of her life. Episode 10 gives us one of these, courtesy of Caster's Master, Kuzuki, who uses assassination techniques reinforced with Caster's magecraft to utterly destroy Saber and Rin. It is also implied this is how Caster's master killed Rider. Gilgamesh completely trounces Seyla and Leysritt offscreen, and by the time we get back to him, he's already about to behead Seyla. It's hard to call the battle between Berserker and Gilgamesh anything other than one of these. Berserker never stood a chance, though it's implied he could have won if he weren't protecting his Master above all else. Archer shows how helpless Kuzuki is to the power of a Servant when he doesn't have Caster's magecraft. When compared to Archer's extended fight with Lancer, there is no CGI, no music, just effortless slaughter. The fight between Shirou and Archer. By the end of the series, even if he is able to stand by his own, Shirou is still no match against Archer. This changes as the fight goes on.

comment
Adaptational Heroism: In the VN, Caster betrayed her original Master because he treated her like crap and because he was a coward who didn't want to put any effort into the war. In the anime, he's much more active, but also a good deal crueler. He betrays her instead of the other way around, but she had already prepared for it. In the process, she freed a bunch of human sacrifices that he had prepared, considering his use of them to be crass, inefficient and presumably, you know, evil. The VN states that she isn't as cruel as she seems but never shows it.

Bittersweet Ending: Shirou and Rin both survive the Holy Grail War, with Shirou even managing to defeat Gilgamesh and save the world. Saber makes peace with her failures and passes on. Archer temporarily survives the war with his Independent Action, later fading away like the other Servants. Despite all this, life goes on for the surviving characters and they find peace with their lives...except Shirou still feels the urge to be a 'hero', so he gives up on living at the Clock Tower and travels the world with Rin, with the after-credits scene implying he is going to continue to be a hero like Archer, but unlike him, he both knows the ending and will never regret it like Archer did--because he has Rin.

Worthy Opponent: Saber considers Berserker this when they fight. Saber and Assassin definitely think of each other this way in Episode 7. Gilgamesh admits that Berserker could perhaps defeat him if he didn't put Illya's safety above fighting, he eventually acknowledges him as one after Berserker manages to come back to life beyond his Noble Phantasm, breaks the chain Enkidu and almost kills him. He also acknowledges Shirou is a powerful opponent, though he's clearly bitter about it.

Last but not the least, Shirou takes advantage of Rin's Mana Transfer and reconciling his ideals versus Archer's cynicism to counter the full might of Gilgamesh's Gate of Babylon using his own version of Unlimited Blade Works, and he wins.

The Berserker: Berserker. Illya even explains that Heracles is such a reknowned hero that he could have been summoned in any class but he was specifically summoned as Berserker because the Madness Enhancement makes him stupidly strong, if harder to control.

Uniqueness Decay
 Fate/stay night [Unlimited Blade Works] / int_608b26d
comment
Uniqueness Decay: This is subtly invoked at the end of episode 10. Gilgamesh tells a story to Shinji about how, long ago, he selected ten slaves and was to kill one of them as a demonstration, but he found he could not do it because their lives were too precious in the old world. Then, he seemingly goes off on another tangent, talking about how "too much of anything is sickening," referring to the fact that there are so many humans in the 21st century and that an individual's life is worth far less than it once was. It's why Gilgamesh wants to release the power that destroyed Fuyuki City on a global scale in order to purge the supposed "superfluous" humans and rule over the remaining ones strong enough to survive.

Meaningful Echo: Episode 20 has one in the clash of ideals of Shirou and Archer, and one after Shirou finds his will to fight on. Another one happens in the finale thanks to the Adaptation Expansion in the final episode of the first season. In episode 12, Shirou is willing to allow Caster to take his arm in order to save Taiga without thinking of another, less-harming alternative, showing his lack of self-preservation. In episode 24, Shirou shouts that he would rather cut of his arm than allow Gilgamesh to get out of the hole of the grail; this time, however, it's clear that doing so is the only way to save himself from being swallowed by the vortex too, which means he finally has some sense of self-value. And, in both cases, Archer is the one to bail out Shirou.

Meaningful Name: or, meaningful abbreviation, at least. 'Unlimited Blade Works' usually abbreviated as UBW, which could be loosely interpreted as 'ubau' or 'ubawareru' (lit. 'steal' or 'got stolen'), lampshading Shirou's ability to steal other's technique (well, okay, not exactly steal, but make it work anyway! 'Steal' knowledge about someone's power?)

comment
Fisher King: As Shirou begins to gain the advantage in his fight, forcing Archer to realize that their ideal isn't a mistake, Unlimited Blade Works's sky slowly transforms from a dreadful, cloudy one with gears in the air to a beautiful, clear one. When Archer completely concedes, the Reality Marble completely takes on this sky. When Archer starts really doubting, the gears in the sky come to a stop with an audible CLANG. The opposite process is also shown at the beginning of season 2 when Rin dreams of Archer's past. As her narration mentions betrayal, the beautiful clear sky turns to a clouded one with lightning and gears appearing as she finishes uttering, "In the end, even after his death, he kept being betrayed by his ideals." The narration combined with the visual and the soundtrack makes for a very sobering moment where one shudders at imagining what Archer went through.

Casting Gag: In the English dub, Melissa Fahn voices Rider, a purple-haired badass with occult sensibilities and a dislike of most people. This should sound a little familiar. Lex Lang played Issei Ryuudou in the first Fate series and went on to play as Souchiro Kuzuki in this version. Both Ryuudou and Kuzuki have close ties to each other as they both work at Ryuudou Temple.

Adaptation Personality Change: Gilgamesh. Due to Nasu having heavily expanded on his more heroic and wise side since the release of the original visual novel, much of his dialogue for the Ufotable anime has been rewritten, making him come off as much more of a Genius Bruiser and generally a more respecting and respectable person overall, while still keeping some of his characteristic vitriol. While he still has moments of evil antics, those moments are treated as being consistent with his new direction, such as how he talks to Berserker and Illya during his fight with them. This in contrast with the original visual novel where he was a borderline Card-Carrying Villain.

Invoked with Caster as well. Her original Master said that she lacked the values of the modern world, and that she didn't see human lives as having any worth. Indeed, her own mana farming technique, though much less dangerous to the subjects, will eventually cause them to die, especially since she continuously does it.

Adaptational Badass
 Fate/stay night [Unlimited Blade Works] / int_736d791f
comment
Adaptational Badass: Saber lacking sufficient mana to fight at full power seems to be much less of an issue than it is in the VN, with her combat abilities being close to what she had in Fate/Zero. Notably, where Saber already performed much better in her first fight against Berserker in the Unlimited Blade Works route than in Fate, in the anime she manages to (temporarily) kill him. Illya never personally fights in the original Visual Novel, but the anime gives a fight against Rin, which she wins. Even Berserker. In the VN, he is described as having no real technique due to his madness, but in the anime it's stated he still has the skills he had in life despite being insane, much like his predecessor Lancelot, which is explained as them being ingrained in him as battle instincts. His madness still stops him from using his other Noble Phantasms, though. This is mostly likely a pragmatic decision: It's hard to show Berserker overpowering Saber with sheer speed and power given how fast-paced the fight scenes already are. His death scene is also changed from the original VN, as instead of breaking free from the Chain of Heaven only to slump over and drag himself over to Illya, he instead breaks free with a mighty roar and catches Gilgamesh off-guard, coming a literal inch away from crushing his head like a grape.

"The Reason You Suck" Speech: Shirou delivers one to Gilgamesh in their battle, and a poignant one at that: for being the most powerful, all that power is wasted on Gilgamesh, because all he does is float there and spam Gate of Babylon to solve all his problems, whereas the other Servants all mastered their weapon or combat of choice — "a king, not a warrior". The logical conclusion of this, the moment someone with a counter to Gate of Babylon like Shirou comes along and has actual skill in single combat, Gilgamesh is in some serious danger.

Nice Job Breaking It, Hero!
 Fate/stay night [Unlimited Blade Works] / int_7fbb2a3
comment
Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: In the season 1 finale Shirou uses one of his Command Seals to stop Saber from attacking Caster since she has Taiga hostage and he is afraid she will kill her. Doing this stops Saber from moving long enough for Caster to stab her with Rule Breaker, removing Shirou's rights as a master, and turning Saber into Casters Servant.

Final Battle
 Fate/stay night [Unlimited Blade Works] / int_830b0ac9
comment
For the Final Battle Shirou and Rin plan to use Saber to fight Gilgamesh head on while they try to save Shinji from the Holy Grail and use Unlimited Blade Works to trap and destroy Gilgamesh. Unfortunately they were completely blindsided by the fact that Assassin was still alive even after Caster was killed, and he is more interested in having one last battle with Saber then the potential end of the world happening, meaning that Gilgamesh is free to attack Rin and Shirou forcing them to alter their plan.

Deconstructed by Archer, a future version of Shirou, who has seen the futility and impossiblity of this dream first hand. Also, if one looks at Fate/Zero, Shirou could be seen as being forced to confront the issues that made Kiritsugu, his adopted father, give up on trying to be an Ideal Hero, though Kiritsugu's wish to be that quickly turned him into a The Needs of the Many-styled Anti-Hero.

Humiliation Conga
 Fate/stay night [Unlimited Blade Works] / int_890d4ef2
comment
Humiliation Conga: Gilgamesh's downfall and death in episode 24. Once Shirou activates Unlimited Blade Works, Gilgamesh gets outpaced and overpowered despite using the Gate of Babylon's full power, and his hesitancy to recognize Shirou as an equal and use Ea leads him to lose an arm and nearly get cut in half. He does manage to escape Unlimited Blade Works since Shirou runs out of mana, but he's forced to admit he survived on a fluke and that Shirou was the one who won their fight. And after that, the spirit of Avenger attempts to use Gilgamesh as a vessel, sucking him into a void and forcing him to try and crawl out by using Shirou as an anchor. Finally, he gets killed when Archer swoops in and strikes him in the forehead - not with a Broken Phantasm, but by a single, ordinary sword-arrow. Compared to the Fate route, where he was defeated unleashing Ea's full power and died with a satisfied smile, this route's Gilgamesh most certainly had an undignified and humiliating demise (and considering his Villainous Breakdown throughout, he definitely knew it).

Berserker's God Hand ability appears to makes him immune to all but the most powerful legendary weapons was relatively downplayed, presumably so that the anime can show off his Resurrective Immortality powers, Gilgamesh however quickly realises his ability and immediately draws his most powerful Noble Phantasms against him.

Values Dissonance
 Fate/stay night [Unlimited Blade Works] / int_9c6ba43a
comment
Values Dissonance: Invoked. Shirou explains to Rin that Kiritsugu chose not to pass down his Magic Crest to him before he died. As Rin is from a relatively prominent magus family, she is appalled by this, as it's considered a duty for a magus to pass their abilities and knowledge down to their children. In contrast, Shirou isn't bothered by it at all due to his desire to instead take up Kiritsugu's dream of being a hero. The only issue he takes is Rin calling Kiritsugu a fake mage. Invoked with Caster as well. Her original Master said that she lacked the values of the modern world, and that she didn't see human lives as having any worth. Indeed, her own mana farming technique, though much less dangerous to the subjects, will eventually cause them to die, especially since she continuously does it. In Unlimited Blade Works, Rin warns Shirou to keep the fact that he has a Reality Marble a secret from the Mages Association, since they would happily perform all sorts of unethical experiments on him to study it without asking for his permission, under the belief that he should feel honored to give his life to the study of magic. Shirou is appalled by this.

Continuity Nod
 Fate/stay night [Unlimited Blade Works] / int_9dab0a6e
comment
Continuity Nod: Many towards the Fate/Zero anime. As described above, the next-episode previews are done in the exact same style as Fate/Zero. Rin was supposed to use the same relic her father used in the Servant invocation, but it has broken apart. Illya uses birdlike familiars similar to her mother's. The hand-holding motif of the second opening of Fate/Zero returns in the opening. After Shirou tells Saber who he is, Saber looks surprised to hear the name Emiya, before looking back at the shed in mild surprise. Remember the magic circle Irisviel drew in that shed? It's the same one Shirou unwittingly uses to summon Saber. Even the way scenes are directed are very deliberate call backs to Fate/Zero, just look at this! Saber looks away and shifts uncomfortably when Illyasviel, the spitting image of Irisviel, first introduces herself. During Saber's fight with Lancer, Lancer uses Gae Bolg and hits her. As she recovers, Saber questions if the attack was a curse before instead realizing what it really is, a clever nod to what happened to her when she fought the Lancer in the fouth Grail War. During his fight against Caster, Archer recognizes one of her spells as a form of Innate Time Control, Kiritsugu's signature magecraft. In the second opening, Lancer is in the same building that Kayneth and Diarmund used as their last hideout. When debating to allow Shirou and Rin entrance to the Einzbern's manor, Illya briefly recalls the last day she saw Kiritsugu. The place where Shinji and Gilgamesh appear at the Einzbern's villa is the same courtyard where the meeting between the three kings occurred. A series of flashbacks show that sludge from the corrupted Grail took on Irisviel's form (the body it was last in) and fed Illya lies about Kiritsugu to make her hate him. Episode 19 briefly flashes back to Rin's last moments with her father and the moment of Kirei giving her the Azoth dagger, both from Fate/Zero. Episode 20 shows us again Shirou struggling and walking forward to survive the hellfire at the end of the Fourth Grail War, as well as Kiritsugu finding him and giving him Avalon to survive. Again in that same episode: at the end, Archer hurls his swords at Shirou and the camera spins 360 degrees as it follows their flight path, an exact copy of the camera work in Episode 24 of Fate/Zero when Kotomine throws his Black Keys at Kiritsugu. Episode 21 flashes back to another scene from Fate/Zero, the moment when Saber destroys the Grail with Excalibur, causing the corrupted mana within it to spill all over Gilgamesh and burn down part of Fuyuki City. Episode 22 shows the epilogue of Fate/Zero from Rin's perspective and a scene that features in Heaven's Feel, her memories of seeing Shirou jumping a high bar until sunset. It also has a Tohsaka walking around in circles during an explanation. Episode 23 has Gilgamesh summon his sword Ea using the same key and unlocking mechanism from Episode 23 of Fate/Zero. In that same episode, Shirou's first move when countering the full might of the Gate of Babylon is to pivot and grab a sword in the exact same way that Lancelot did when fighting Gilgamesh for the first time. In the final episode, Shirou has a brief conversation with Lord El-Melloi II a.k.a. Waver Velvet about the Holy Grail War and his ideals.

Dramatically Missing the Point
 Fate/stay night [Unlimited Blade Works] / int_9e9203e1
comment
Dramatically Missing the Point: Caster's former Master decided her story showed she was a treacherous witch who betrayed everyone rather than a much abused toy of the gods and "great heroes" like Jason. He treats her like crap accordingly, loudly announcing his disdain and distrust for her. When he tells Kotomine that he can't trust a witch like her after having read her story, Kotomine laughs briefly at him taking away exactly the wrong message from the story. Unsurprisingly, Medea is prepared for his obvious betrayal when he gets back to his workshop, but she still gives him one last chance. He doesn't take it and dies a karmic death.

Polyamory: The series ends with the True Ending, where Saber's role is described as more "mother/guardian-like figure" and she eventually steps aside to Shirou and Rin's happiness and fades away after she fulfills her duty as their Servant and finds peace. However, there is also the Blu-ray exclusive Good Ending, where Saber stays with Shirou and Rin as the latter's familiar, and all three continue living together — implicitly as mutual lovers.

An almost literal case with Berserker to Illya. He wants to protect her so badly that he breaks an unbreakable chain after being killed by Gilgamesh in an attempt to protect Illya. It doesn't work, but it does make Gilgamesh freak out, something no one else has been able to do in the entire franchise.

Oh, Crap!

comment
Oh, Crap!: Gilgamesh is a smug bastard, and although he respects Berserker's abilities, the latter isn't a match for him. He is certain his victory is assured after killing Berserker for the 12th time and impaling his Master. Then, Berserker ressurects himself by sheer will alone for the 13th time, and breaks the chains holding him that are specifically meant to hold deities. Cue Gilgamesh being actually surprised, only able to survive by summoning a few weapons to hold him in the nick of time. The look on Lancer's face when Kirei orders him to kill himself. Unlike in the original UBW movie, where it happens in one swift movement, you can see him watching his weapon as it spins, and struggling to stop it for a moment, fully aware of what he's about to do. Kirei ends up having his own seconds later when Lancer gets back up and impales him. The look on Gilgamesh's face when Shirou hacks his arm off mere seconds before he can use Ea on him is a combination of this and paralyzing disbelief.

comment
Retcon: As the various adaptation entries show, there are many of them when comparing the anime to the original VN route, this is Justified though as later material, such as the previous ufotable adaptation Fate/Zero, changed or contradicted what was shown in the original Fate/Stay Night so these tweaks were required for overall consistency. Illya was originally a non-combatant in the VN, relying on Berserker for protection. In this adaptation however she's a fighter on her own right and capable of a more powerful magic than her mother Irisviel. Gilgamesh's characterisation is kept the same as in Fate/Zero instead of the outright antagonistic behaviour he showed in the original route. Saber's ability to keep up with Berserker relies on her memories of facing off the Black Knight in the previous war. When the anime shows Saber performing the action she regrets the most she's wearing a dress. In the original visual novel she was wearing trousers.

Too Dumb to Live: Rin is convinced that Shirou is this, especially after he sticks around after school without Saber. Which is especially ironic, considering how many near-death experiences Rin gets into by not keeping Archer with her. Caster's first master should have known better than to actually try to betray someone whose very legend revolves around treachery.

Ghost Memory: As usual Masters can Servants can see one another's dreams. There's another, more special example in the case of Archer and Shirou. As they are the same soul they both end up seeing pieces of each other's memories. There's also the fact that exposure to Archer causes Shirou to slowly inherit his future self's skill in projection. Once Shirou snaps out of his Heroic BSoD at the last fourth of their fight Archer even acknowledges that he's is right on the edge of catching up to him.

Curb Stomp Cushion: Gilgamesh effortlessly defeats Berserker, restraining him with the Chain of Heaven and taking his last life with a spear to the heart. He then goes on to mutilate Illya, preparing to execute her... only for Berserker to suddenly break free of the Anti-Divine chains holding him back and coming a literal inch close to crushing Gilgamesh's head like a grape. Gilgamesh doesn't suffer any harm from this last attack, avoiding certain death at the last possible moment and finishing off Berserker for good, but the look on his face shows how much real danger he was in during that very moment.

Taking You with Me: Subverted at the end of Episode 24: as the Holy Grail starts swallowing up Gilgamesh, he lashes his chain onto Shirou seemingly to take him down as well. But then he shouts at Shirou to stay right where he is, so Gilgamesh can pull himself out of the portal. Archer puts a stop to that.

Heroic Resolve: A primary characteristic of Shirou, whose refusal to give up in even dire situations leads to his summoning of Saber. In Episode 10, Shirou endures a blow from Kuzuki, who just defeated Rin and Saber, to project for the first time to save Rin's life. Episode 20 reveals that this, together with his wish to save others, is a trait that he didn't lose in the hellfire. Saber herself also shows this despite being under Caster's control she is constantly fighting against her new Masters orders despite Caster possessing Shriou's Command Seals. It gets to the point where Caster has to put Saber under a protracted spell to slowly break her will and make her submit. Saber never does.

Master of the Levitating Blades: Gilgamesh is the perfect example of the first variant of this trope. He is so arrogant, and his Noble Phantasm so powerful, that he will stay put with a smug look, as if everyone was beneath him, while a near infinite supply of legendary weapons strike his enemies down at his beck and call. Both Archer and Shirou also are shown to be capable of doing this. Thanks mainly to their ability of copying any weapon they see.

Adaptational Wimp: Archer and Lancer's second battle. While the outcome is still the same, in the VN Archer surprises Lancer by how he's able to hold his own despite the fact that Lancer's spear is too fast for him to even see; this is because of Archer's Mind's Eye skill, which allows him to create a perfect countermeasure for Lancer's fighting style because he's witnessed it once before. In the anime, no such thing happens.

Exponential Plot Delay: A point often brought up by the detractors of the series is that the pacing seems to get slower as the series progresses. The story moves briskly in the first season, but the second will have entire episodes of only moving the pieces into place for an upcoming battle and singular yet extensive plot developments. Archer spends an episode monologuing about his motivations before his fight with Shirou, and the battle itelf lasts for an episode and a half. Episode 23 consists of the Main Characters sitting around a table discussing strategies to defeat the Big Bad before the not-sex-scene between Rin and Shirou.

Intimate Healing: The scene where Rin transfers her magic crest to Shirou plays very much like a sex scene. Of course, in the original visual novel it was a sex scene. Gets a reference in the "Sunny Days" alternate end. In order to have enough mana to maintain a pact with Saber, Rin tells Shirou that she'll need him to boost her mana. When he asks how, she blushes and dodges the question, saying there are several options. Again from the visual novel, we know that one of the simplest and most efficient ways is for them to just have sex.

Didn't See That Coming
 Fate/stay night [Unlimited Blade Works] / int_dfa40c1b
comment
Didn't See That Coming: Gilgamesh's strategy when fighting Berserker is pretty straightforward: keep your distance, whale on him from afar, and use your anti-divinity unbreakable chains if he gets too close. Berserker putting up a good fight? Expected. Berserker nearly landing a blow? Expected. Berserker coming back from the dead outside his Noble Phantasm, breaking Enkidu, and almost killing Gilgamesh? Not expected. It marks one of the few times in the entire Nasuverse that Gilgamesh is surprised by something. Particularly notable as he wasn't even phased by that in the original VN. Kirei didn't expect Lancer to get back up after being stabbed in the heart. The look on Kirei's face when Lancer nails him to a wall with Gae Bolg is priceless. For the Final Battle Shirou and Rin plan to use Saber to fight Gilgamesh head on while they try to save Shinji from the Holy Grail and use Unlimited Blade Works to trap and destroy Gilgamesh. Unfortunately they were completely blindsided by the fact that Assassin was still alive even after Caster was killed, and he is more interested in having one last battle with Saber then the potential end of the world happening, meaning that Gilgamesh is free to attack Rin and Shirou forcing them to alter their plan.

 Fate/stay night [Unlimited Blade Works] / int_e0113647
comment
Decon-Recon Switch: Though the VN route goes into more depth on the matter (due to including the anime-omitted inner monologues that characters often have), it's obvious that Shirou serves as a deconstruction of a "perfect hero" who wants to save everyone and is completely selfless. UBW shows that Shirou cares so much for others because he barely has a personality due to the trauma of the fire and must live vicariously through others, and that the reason he has no self-worth is because he literally has no concept of his own life, seeing that it could be easily traded away for another person's. Archer even states that his dream of becoming a superhero isn't even his, it's Kiritsugu's. This behavior is extremely disturbing to everyone around Shirou, and many of the faces he makes towards the middle of the series are fairly disturbing. This is then reconstructed around episode 20, where Shirou learns that the ideal of wanting to save everyone really was his own, and that Kiritsugu only gave him the push he needed. Shirou goes on to state that although he does need to place more effort in protecting himself, he will still willingly sacrifice himself for others if it's the right thing to do.

Point of Divergence: In the beginning of the Fate route, Saber severely wounds Archer during their first confrontation outside Shirou's home, which puts him out of commission for much of that route. UBW splits from that path by having Shirou use a Command Seal to stop Saber before she injures Archer, which in turn allows Archer to take a far more proactive role in the events of the Holy Grail War.

Clingy Jealous Girl: Sakura. She is not happy to see Saber at all, though she eventually works to subvert this. Saber in a non-romantic way. She gets annoyed at Shirou emulating Archer's fighting style instead of hers. Rin does not take Luvia's advances on Shirou well

Big Damn Heroes: Rin saves Shirou in Episode 5, just when Rider was going to take out his eye. Archer gets a turn saving Shirou when Caster was going to steal his Command Spells. Later, he saves Rin, Taiga and an injured Shirou in Episode 12. Shirou finally returns the favor in Episode 13 and comes to Rin's aid after Archer had betrayed her. In Episode 15, he desperately tries to save Illya, not caring if he'll get killed in the process, but Rin won't have any of it and stops him. Shirou is caught by Gilgamesh's chain and is about to be sucked with him into the black hole when Archer, whom everyone thought was dead, tells him to move to the right, allowing him to snipe Gilgamesh right between the eyes.

comment
Saber lacking sufficient mana to fight at full power seems to be much less of an issue than it is in the VN, with her combat abilities being close to what she had in Fate/Zero. Notably, where Saber already performed much better in her first fight against Berserker in the Unlimited Blade Works route than in Fate, in the anime she manages to (temporarily) kill him.

Mundane Utility: What's the first thing Rin uses her newly summoned Servant for? Cleaning her living room. On top of that, she also uses her magecraft to repair Shirou's broken window in the second episode. Shirou generally used his magecraft to fix faulty electronics before the Holy Grail War started.

Undying Loyalty: Sella and Leysritt would gladly give their lives in order to protect Illya. An almost literal case with Berserker to Illya. He wants to protect her so badly that he breaks an unbreakable chain after being killed by Gilgamesh in an attempt to protect Illya. It doesn't work, but it does make Gilgamesh freak out, something no one else has been able to do in the entire franchise.

Unskilled, but Strong
 Fate/stay night [Unlimited Blade Works] / int_f25b1ae6
comment
Unskilled, but Strong: Gilgamesh has an armory of Noble Phantasms, but never learned how to use any of them. Shirou is a Non-Action Guy compared to most characters in the series, but he gains access to Unlimited Blade Works due to being Archer's past self. Deconstructed in that Shirou correctly guesses that this is why, of all servants, Gil's the only one that Shirou can actually take down in a fight. Despite Gil being practically a Physical God, and the most powerful servant in the war, being a king first made Gil even less combat-skilled than even Shirou is. Thus, with Unlimited Blade Works's unlimited blades cancelling out Gil's armory, Shirou's slight skill advantage ends up snagging him a win against Gilgamesh.

Creepy Child: Illyasviel von Einzbern when she's introduced, between her Creepy Monotone and her talk of murder. Especially jarring is when she sways like a kid playing or listening to music while she tells her Servant to go kill Shirou and Rin. However, by the time Shirou and Rin come to see her at her castle she is a cute, happy girl, and the episode goes to great lengths to make her a sympathetic character.

Attempted Rape: In the expanded DVD version of episode 13, Caster uses her magic to sexually torture Artoria in an attempt to break her and starts to feel her up, but is stopped from going further by the arrival of Kuzuki. In episode 19, Shinji attempts to molest Rin, but is stopped from doing anything other than touching her leg by Lancer.

comment
Evil Cannot Comprehend Good: Caster in Episode 12 completely misunderstands both Kiritsugu's and Shirou's nobler motivations. She thinks Kiritsugu adopted Shirou to force him to train for the next Grail War rather than out of a desire for redemption and love. She also thinks Shirou is bitter towards the world and desires the Grail when in actuality he's a Martyr Without a Cause.

Darkest Hour

comment
Darkest Hour: The end of Season 1 concludes with one of these: Shirou has lost Saber to Caster, he's been injured badly and can't heal (due to not having the contract with Saber), and Rin, the only friend he had left, basically tells him to fuck off, or he'll die. Things don't exactly get better at the start of Season 2, as Archer then betrays Rin, joining the side of Caster. At least Shirou manages to regain Rin as a friend and ally.

I Was Just Passing Through: Archer offers this explanation for saving Shirou from Caster to hide his true motive. Archer wants to keep Shirou alive until he can kill him himself, hoping that the resulting paradox would erase himself from existence.
