Fate Series (Franchise)	comment	Fate is an Urban Fantasy action franchise, part of the greater Nasuverse created by Nasu Kinoko and Takeuchi Takashi. Originally just a series of self-contained material, the Fate franchise very quickly eclipsed the rest of Type-Moon's works and came into its own as a standalone series.While concepts for the series came long before its debut in 2004 (including a literature version similar to Nasu's other works like The Garden of Sinners and Angel Notes), its first installment, Fate/stay night, was released as an Eroge during Comic Market 67. Lack of official translations meant it would be relatively obscure outside Japan, if it weren't for fans translating the game and its respective 2006 anime being officially brought over. Interest in the series surged when the animated adaptation of prequel novel Fate/Zero released in 2011, sparking a revival in interest for the original game and a wave of spinoffs and re-releases. The third surge in popularity was Fate/Grand Order, which launched in 2015 and has pretty much made the franchise a pop culture landmark in Japan for the late New Tens. While official translations for its other installments still remain few and far between, the community is dedicated enough to keep up with every installment as it comes out.Fate's claim to fame is its use of the Holy Grail War, a ritual performed by mages to create and use the titular vessel to have their greatest desire granted, no matter how twisted it may be. Closely related to this is the Servant system, the ability to summon famous individuals from folklore and history, who are then used as the War's combatants. Servants themselves function how Mons would in a similar series, with the prerequisite class advantages, Master/Servant dynamics, and (especially in later installments) plenty of Servants to choose from. So much so, when Type-Moon did a Self-Parody using PokÃ©mon as the basis, the only thing that changed was that kids were the Masters and could use more than one Servant. Originally, however, the Servants were merely reflections of their Masters, while the latter group was the real meat of the story. Nowadays, the Servants are what everyone focuses on, and the narrative importance of Master and Servant is reversed.Keep in mind that the franchise doesn't have a completely straight continuity; in fact, many titles are in their own separate continuity, held together by the basic concept of the Grail War, the mage system, and the Servant system. Fate/EXTRA, for example, takes place years after the first game's Holy Grail War, but the game itself only takes inspiration from its outcome while going off into a completely different direction. Others, like Fate/Apocrypha and Fate/Requiem, are straight up in an alternate universe. Works in the franchise:

Fate Series (Franchise) / int_129c6a7d	type	Historical Domain Superperson
Fate Series (Franchise) / int_129c6a7d	comment	Historical Domain Superperson: Historical figures can be summoned as magical beings called Servants to fight in the Holy Grail War. Servants are far more powerful than normal humans and their Noble Phantasms can leave areas in ruins (some are capable of wiping out entire cities). Some highlights include: Fate/stay night: Sasaki Kojiro's Tsubame Gaeshi can twist dimensions so as to allow him to attack with three different strikes all at once. Hassan-i-Sabbah is actually a title given to multiple people over generations, each one with their own unique ability, with the one portrayed here having the ability to create a replica of a person's heart that's magically connected to the real heart. Fate/Zero: Alexander the Great has lightning powers as a result of being a descendant of Zeus, drives a chariot pulled by two divine bulls, and is portrayed as a huge muscular man whose account of being too small to sit on Darius III's throne is only because Darius is even bigger. Gilles de Rais, while not an actual mage, owns a spellbook that allows him to summon Eldritch Abominations. Fate/Apocrypha: Solomon ibn Gabirol is a master golem creator. William Shakespeare is a Master of Illusion who can trap people in recreations of their past that he narrates over. Fate/strange Fake: Alexandre Dumas can magically create Effective Knockoffs of any Noble Phantasm. Richard the Lionheart can give any object the powers of Excalibur simply by insisting that it is Excalibur. Francois Prelati is a Master of Illusion with Born-Again Immortality and demon blood inside him due to making contact with Beelzebub. Fate/Grand Order: Anastasia Nikolaevna Romanova has ice magic and formed a contract with Viy, who also serves as her Noble Phantasm. Attila the Hun was born from the remains of an alien superweapon and wields a Laser Sword that can summon a Kill Sat fired down by Mars. Helena Blavatsky has actual psychic powers due to having magic circuits. And this is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to this game.

Fate Series (Franchise) / int_13d7a65e	type	The Artifact
Fate Series (Franchise) / int_13d7a65e	comment	The Artifact: stay night emphasizes the fact that Anti-Heroes have been summoned as Servants when only good guys should be possible, which is eventually revealed to be caused by a God of Evil that hijacked the Fuyuki Grail. The next major installment, Fate/EXTRA, used this to establish a Contrasting Sequel Setting where all three playable Servants are Anti-Heroes. By Grand Order this stopped mattering completely, and several retcons would clarify that the Fuyuki Grail system is specifically very constrained compared to the ancient rituals it was based on. When the series was in its infancy, it was established that The Berserker class's Mad Enhancement also made its user inarticulate, mindlessly violent, and unable to talk beyond grunting and growling. Understandably, past Fate/stay night, this turned out to be rather inconvenient for characterization when at least one member of your cast would inevitably be mute and mindless. This was downplayed to Berserkers indeed being able to talk and show distinct personalities, typically by using their strong will to power through the Mad Enhancement, by the Mad Enhancement manifesting in a different fashion such as obsessive love or Chronic Hero Syndrome, or by the Mad Enhancement itself having a low rank (though they remained violent and impulsive). Nonetheless, earlier Berserkers like Heracles, Lancelot, and Lu Bu who were established as mute tend to still be written as such, even though they're now the exception rather than the rule. Sasaki Kojiro is stated to be a fake, who was only allowed to become an Assassin by virtue of Medea having screwed with the system, and therefore also one of the weakest Servants around (more of a human with some magical enhancements and moderate Charles Atlas Superpower). At the time, this was because it was canon that only members of an actual historical assassin order could be Assassins. Understandably, this was a bit limiting, so later installments tend to treat the qualification for being an Assassin as simply "is sneaky and killed someone", with only a handful since meeting the original benchmark. But Kojiro is still regarded as a relative weakling (he's a one-star in Fate/Grand Order, for instance, one out of only three in the Assassin class and of eleven in total), even though there now isn't much of a reason for him to be one. Ostensibly, this is because the historical record on Kojiro is vague enough that he was most likely fictional, but this is a bit of an odd place to draw the line when Fate normally takes the All Myths Are True approach with Servants—for comparison, fellow canonical Assassins have included Doctor Jekyll and The Phantom of the Opera. One storyline even featured an alternate universe involving his famous rival Miyamoto Musashi—there's a Kojiro in that universe, and he is exactly like the "fake" one. The Musashi from said storyline is playable and isn't remotely weak. On the topic of Assassins, Hassan of the Cursed Arm has been listed as Lawful Evil since the days of the original visual novel and shows no signs of changing. In those days, it made a lot of sense, since he was mostly just a Punch-Clock Villain for the monstrously-cruel Zouken Matou and didn't show any redeeming qualities. But ever since then, especially when the Camelot singularity of Grand Order gave him an actual backstory and personality, he's never been a villainous character, and has consistently been shown as heroic, kind, and goodhearted. Nonetheless, his alignment has yet to be changed. Jeanne d'Arc Alter, when introduced initially, was established as an Evil DoppelgÃ¤nger to the real Jeanne, and in gameplay, her skillset was basically "Jeanne, but worse" (Jeanne is a five-star Ruler, Jeanne Alter a four-star). This informed a lot of her characterization, with her having a massive inferiority complex and considering herself a pale shadow of the original. But when Jalter became a Breakout Character and was Promoted to Playable, the designers took note of her popularity and raised her power considerably—going from four-star to five-star, switching class from Ruler to Avenger, being given the highest rarity, and possessing the highest offensive stats in the game, to the point of having been a top-tier Servant at some points. Her inferiority complex now makes very little sense in gameplay terms, but it's such an important part of her character and her relationship with her "sister" that it's stuck around. The original heroine of the franchise, Saber Artoria Pendragon, has fallen into this. She is the poster girl of the game, prominently featuring in just about every bit of promo material and even being its icon on any given app store. When the game had just launched, Artoria was still considered the "main heroine" of the franchise due to her prominence in Fate/stay night and Fate/Zero, so leading with her made sense, especially since Grand Order was seen as a side project then. However, Grand Order largely avoided developing Artoria (whether out of tentativeness with handling an iconic character or out of a sense that there wasn't much to be done with her after her many prior starring roles), instead focusing on characters from Apocrypha, EXTRA, its own Original Generation, or side characters from FSN and Zero. Ask a fan who the main or most popular heroine of Grand Order is, and Saber Artoria probably wouldn't even make the top twenty, and as Grand Order has increasingly become the franchise's cash cow, you could probably argue that those characters are more central to the franchise at this point. It's particularly funny because her iconic status has led to her getting tons of alternate versions or characters who share her design, some who exist only to poke fun at the franchise's overuse of her design, and nearly every single one of them has had more significant showings than her — even the gag Beach Episode variant! Nonetheless, the sheer inertia of her prior appearances means that she isn't going to be taken out of the middle of group shots anytime soon.

Fate Series (Franchise) / int_14beeefd	comment	The nature of the Servant class system means there are several characters throughout the franchise who bear the same titles, so when, for example, someone mentions the character Rider they may have to be more specific as to which Rider. It doesn't help that there's a strong practical reason to not easily reveal the Servant's true name — that would give away their weaknesses and abilities. In some installments, Servants have different, alternate, playable versions such as when they are summoned in a different class or when they have a Darker and Edgier Alter.

Fate Series (Franchise) / int_15f76026	type	Inexplicably Identical Individuals
Fate Series (Franchise) / int_15f76026	comment	Inexplicably Identical Individuals: The franchise has the infamous "Saber-face" phenomenon, whereby random female heroines will inexplicably have the exact same face as Saber Artoria Pendragon, whether they're from Britain (Artoria, her Alternate Universe counterparts, and her "son" Mordred), Rome (Emperor Nero), France (Jeanne d'Arc), Japan (Okita Souji) or India (Lakshmibai). The reason for this is the head character designer really, really likes Artoria's design and frequently re-uses it for new heroines. Later stories in the franchise begin to Lampshade this, up to and including a version of Artoria whose sole desire is to brutally murder all the other Saberfaces in the franchise for copying her looks, or various characters who had a fixation with one particular Saberface in life but cannot tell them apart as Servants.

The only reason mages from the Clock Tower even consider coming over to Fuyuki, Japan, which is otherwise considered the magical boonies for them, is because it was the chosen place for the Holy Grail War.

However, Foreigner Jacques was a man in life, who changed genders post-mortem due to the influence of his patron Outer God, which would point to them actually being different classes of the same Heroic Spirit... if it weren't for the fact Foreigner Jacques asserts she wasn't strong enough to become a Heroic Spirit by herself, and dismisses the idea of her Saber counterpart's existence. What's actually going on with them is currently unknown.

Fate Series (Franchise) / int_19ba91b5	type	Home Field Advantage
Fate Series (Franchise) / int_19ba91b5	comment	Home Field Advantage: The Unlimited Blade Works spell (and indeed any and all Reality Marbles) basically invokes this trope, turning the battlefield into one that's perfect for Archer or Shirou to battle in. In fact, the power of a Servant varies depending of how much it's known and/or revered in their current location. For example, Word of God states that Lancer of "Black" (Vlad the Impaler) could completely destroy Berserker (Heracles/Hercules) and Saber (gender-flipped King Arthur) from Fate/stay night, two Servants whose identities are known world-wide, because he was summoned in his home country of Romania, close to his native city to boot, and has a Skill that lets him secure a certain amount of land as his own and boost his power as long as he remains within the bounds of that land (which fittingly enough, is at the headquarters of the Yggdmillennia). This dual-layer homefield advantage is enough he's able to fight toe-to-toe with Lancer of "Red" (Karna) when normally he would be completely crushed by his Gilgamesh-leveled opponent. This is what ends up happening when he is forced to sacrifice said advantage to fight on the enemy's home turf. Caster Servants have a Skill called Territory Creation, which lets them designate an area as their "Workshop". Inside the Workshop, they are able to gather Mana from the environment (Servants normally need to get Mana from their Masters) and have some control over the surroundings.

Most other entries are variants of this theme. Fate/Grand Order reveals that the entire Servant system was actually designed to fight the impossibly powerful Beasts as a team. This is also why the classes seem so unbalanced; it's using a Player Versus Environment system as a Player Versus Player system, so the classes that were designed for direct combat have an advantage when fighting the classes that were supposed to stay in the back and support them.

One can theoretically change the past events that led to the event that was secured by Quantum Time-Lock, but that past will inevitably be "corrected" so that it will fit the secured event in some way.

It marks the first decline of the "Age of Gods". Other points where Age of Gods is said to decline is when Gilgamesh rebelled against the gods and when King Solomon, the "King of Magic" died, with the age's end (and the start of "Age of Man") being the rise and spread of Christianity (0 AD).

However, the world - which is a supernatural, sentient being in this franchise - regularly cut off those branching timelines with something called "Quantum Time-Lock", which occurs every hundred years or so. The branches that are cut are those that strayed too far away from the "trunk of the history tree", i.e the correct history.

Fate Series (Franchise) / int_295087bf	comment	Non-Indicative Name: The definitions and qualifications of the Servant classes are actually quite loose, to the point of Memetic Mutation. The Saber class is usually made up of sword users, which would be what you'd expect... Except that you have folks like Saber Karna who uses Good Old Fisticuffs, and Rama who states his sword is a throwing weapon. And then there's the fact that most of those Sabers can shoot Sword Beams, which technically makes them ranged fighters. Which in turn would qualify them for... The Archer class, which is not actually just archers but anyone who "fights from range". This includes people who use guns and crossbows, like Billy the Kid and William Tell, but also has some completely absurd members like Summer Artoria Pendragon (who uses a squirt gun), Nikola Tesla (who shoots lightning), Asagami Fujino (who can twist things - that's not even throwing anything!), and Summer Jeanne (who throws dolphins. Yes, you read that right). And then there are the folks who can use a bow and arrow but choose not to, like the above mentioned FSN Archers and Chiron, who uses Pankration. The game itself pokes a lot of fun with this, but the grand prize has to go to Caster Merlin, who says that "even though his sword shoots beams, he's not an Archer." The definition of Lancer is a horse-riding knight or similar wielding a lance. The definition of Lancer in FGO is anyone who wields a spear, which includes lances, spears, naginatas, scythes, etc. And then there's the Grand Lancer, who isn't wielding anything. He IS the spear, and he fights by shooting energy from his hands. This was questioned by a LOT of people. Rider sounds quite self-evident compared to the others... until Medb tells you that the only reason she qualifies for it is because she's skilled at riding men. Yes, you can ride anything in this class. Except dragons, demonic beasts, or other kinds of magical entities. Then you need a special skill to actually ride them. Not to mention as well that Riding in particular has been shown in other Fate works to also be a skill that a Servant of any other class can have without being a Rider; Artoria Pendragon and Mordred, both Sabers, have it at a decently high rank, and in fact four of the currently nine Servants to have it at its maximum level aren't even Riders. You'd think Caster would just contain wizards. It doesn't. Other than magic users, this is the go-to class for scientists, inventors, craftsmen, and artists. This is why Thomas Edison and Hans Christian Andersen are here. It should also be noted Muramasa —a swordsmith— is annoyed that he's a Saber as he would normally be in this class, and he even has the otherwise-Caster-exclusive Territory Creation skill. A good chunk of the Assassin class failed to assassinate their targets. Grand Assassin is a swordsman, which is Lampshaded the second he shows up. And why is Dr. Henry Jekyll here? You'd think that the Berserker class is made up of people with Unstoppable Rage. Sure, there's no shortage of them, but that's not the actual qualification. Berserkers are those who are inflicted with Madness Enhancement, which makes their behaviour erratic even if it previously wasn't. While there are plenty of natural Berserkers who had a few screws loose to begin with, you also end up with folks like Florence Nightingale (who wasn't like this at all in real life), and Beowulf who isn't acting any crazy at all. Oh and by the way, there are some people out of the Berserker class who have Madness Enhancement. The Ruler class, introduced in Fate/Apocrypha, sounds like a class where you'd find a lot of kings. No. It's a class for people who do not wish for the Holy Grail, and they're supposed to act as regulators for the other Servants... Except that Amakusa Shirou Tosikada didn't get the memo, because he sure wants that cup. And there are a whole bunch of people in other classes who are not interested in the grail either.

Fate Series (Franchise) / int_2b3bd260	comment	Readings Are Off the Scale: The EX rank in general, as the rank indicates the weapon/ability cannot be properly measured. Ea is this by virtue of being incredibly powerful, but other EX abilities approach the trope from different angles. For example, A rank magic resistance grants incredible resilience to a spell, EX magic resistance makes spells simply miss the person entirely. A rank Mad Enhancement renders its user absurdly powerful, but completely incoherent; EX madness can be anything from "in full control of their faculties, except in this one circumstance, where they go full crazy with stats to match" to "so crazed literally nothing gets into their thick skulls, and so insane their speech goes back to being coherent".

Fate Series (Franchise) / int_3862fa01	comment	Ludd Was Right: Inverted in Fate/stay night and Fate/Zero. This is how almost every magus views the situation, preferring to rely on magecraft and completely ignoring the technological side of things. 'As science moves towards the future, magic moves towards the past' is seen as the perfect summation, and that regressing and falling behind is perfectly okay. In Fate/Zero, Kiritsugu exploits the hell out of this because magi are so rooted in tradition.There is some justification for their viewpoint. In the Nasuverse's backstory, the modern age was preceded by an "Age of the Gods" when sorcery was commonplace and magicians could do just about anything. In the modern age, that type of all-powerful sorcery is essentially a lost art, and the magecraft used by modern magi is a pale imitation limited by numerous rules. (The corollary to that is that human beings hadn't come up with any of that stuff themselves; it was all a gift of the gods.) One of those rules is that magecraft cannot accomplish anything that normal humans can't accomplish without magecraft, but that rule also works in reverse; new applications of magecraft become possible as technology advances, and given enough time and technological advancement magecraft could eventually replace the old art of sorcery.

As a limited amount of "water" exists to sustain so many worlds without the universe effectively overloading on the sheer weight of possibilities, Quantum Time-Locks happen every once a hundred years or so to ensure that Constants exist present in all other timelines (e.g. Camelot falling). Any other timelines that have anything different happen are purged altogether in a process known as 'pruning'. However, while there exists several Quantum Time-Locks across human history, the median of which these timelines happen (termed as 'Proper Human History') can be extraordinarily variant to a variety of possibilities; it's just that the Quantum Time-Locks are a means of ensuring the most prosperous timelines for humanity survive, and any that have grown past the point of being able to be changed are as a result pruned.

Fate Series (Franchise) / int_3e24cb38	comment	Musical Nod: Works handled by the original composer for Fate/stay night will frequently slip in references to his old music with each new instalment: Fate/EXTRA: Caster's theme, "Caster ~ An Extra Life With Anyone She Wants", is lifted from a menu theme from stay night, originally titled "Extra" "Last Piece" from Fate/hollow ataraxia was remixed into "PIECE" and "Last Piece Again" for key emotional beats in CCC. Fate/Grand Order: Fuyuki's map theme is a remix of "Into the Night" from Fate/stay night, as an indication that the protagonist, like Shirou Emiya, has just stepped into something much bigger when rayshifted to Fuyuki. It gets a Dark Reprise as Andromalius' battle theme, since that Demon Pillar represents Fuyuki for the final battle. "Olden Capital" contains a reference to Gilgamesh's theme, "Golden King", to represent that the protagonists have been exploring his domain in 2655 BC. "Spinal Swan Coaster" is a Triumphant Reprise of "spinal coaster" from Fate/Extra CCC as a an accompaniment to Meltryllis defeating Kiara once and for all in SE.RA.PH. "The Sun in the Abyss" is a gentler version of Fate/Extella: The Umbral Star's main theme, which appropriately plays in a story featuring Altera lending out a helping hand to Ereshkigal. "Lost Piece" is a melancholic rearrangement of "last piece" from Fate/Hollow Ataraxia. The Olympus map music is an intense remix of the music for Mare Carcer from Extella as a subtle nod to the Olympians' connection to the Extra continuity. The Beast of Taming has four different boss themes, each being a Boss Remix of a Lostbelt map theme with a common bassline; and fittingly, said bassline is the one from "Caster ~ An Extra Life With Anyone She Wants". Morgan and Faerie Knight Gawain's boss themes lift several bars from stay night Saber's theme, "Sword of Promised Victory".

Throughout his life, his ideals become corrupted until he only cares about power. Unfortunately for him, the Matous' magic has been slowly dying out for decades. If you combine this with that in magus culture the strength and lineage of one's magical crests are everything, then you get an unforgiving, immoral grandfather who disdains and abuses his offspring —his son Byakuya and his grandson Shinji for having been born with crests too weak to be trained as magi. Byakuya tries to be a supportive, loving father, however, Zoken's insults are overwhelming enough that Shinji grows into a bitter and arrogant rapist. To add salt in the wound, Zoken adopts the daughter of another family, Sakura, in the hopes of passing down the family magic to her. In Fate/stay night, Shinji shows no compunctions regarding venting his frustrations on Sakura and letting his Servant drain people's souls. The Matous who have indeed strong crests aren't treated any better. Zoken disowns his other son, Kariya, after the latter rejects his family's traditions out of repulsion. Even then, Shinji and Kariya are similar in that they are possessive and abusive toward their Love Interests. As Fate/Zero shows, Kariya only accepts the magic to save his crush's daughter Sakura from being adopted by Zoken. Both of them are subjected to what amounts to rape by magical worms and become living hives for the wretched things in exchange for a powerful magic boost.

Fate Series (Franchise) / int_56585e87	comment	Combat Clairvoyance: The franchise has this codified in several different skills that a Servant can possess: "Mind's Eye (False)" and "Mind's Eye (True)". Those who possess either skill have the ability to predict an opponent's moves and counter them with such speed that they appear clairvoyant. The difference between the two is that the "False" variant is an inherent trait, something the Servant was born with, while the "True" variant is something the Servant learned over a lifetime of battle experience. "Instinct/Intuition" is referred to as the innate ability to always identify "the best possible course of action" in a fight, and at sufficiently high ranks it can even be used to "predict" what actions will best serve the owner in combat. It can even be used to predict the passage of projectiles through the air and counter surprise attacks. Gilgamesh has Sha Naqbu Imuru, which gives him all-seeing clairvoyance. Certain factors like the cursed Grail Mud can block it. Other than that, it should theoretically make him unbeatable, but he usually only uses it for mundane purposes like cheating at chess and card games. In battle, he only uses it the first time he meets an opponent to assess what they can do and then turns it off so his fights don't become boring. Even so, his incredible arrogance means that he ignores seeing possibilities where he loses, believing it is impossible for him to lose, and since he doesn't use Sha Naqbu Imuru when he meets opponents again, he can get caught off guard if they managed to improve themselves in some way. This leads to his death against Saber in the Fate route, Shirou Emiya and Archer in the Unlimited Blade Works route, and Sakura Matou and the Shadow in the Heaven's Feel route. Xiang Yu's "Future Prediction" is a ramped-up version of even the previously mentioned skills because it's explicitly stated to reach beyond simply reading the battle or an opponent's moves and reacting at superhuman speeds to compensate right into the realm of precognition.

Fate Series (Franchise) / int_68832e62	type	Human-Focused Adaptation
Fate Series (Franchise) / int_68832e62	comment	Human-Focused Adaptation: Inverted. Whereas the first few installments had a greater emphasis on the human Masters (the Fate/stay night saga, Lord El-Melloi II Case Files), many of the spin-offs will put focus on the Servants instead, with the Master either playing Supporting Protagonist or backup. Fate/Grand Order even plays around with this by taking alternate versions of previous Masters and turning them into Servants, either by posession or due to the feats they accomplished in their own timeline. Fate/kaleid liner PRISMA☆ILLYA is one of the few straighter instances of the trope, as the focus is on Magical Girl Warriors that primarily use Servants as powerups. Capsule Servant is also primarily about the antics of the human Masters, as the Servants are reimagined into more traditional Mons in this universe. The Servant Universe is a parody of the franchise's usual inversion, as it takes place in a timeline where only Servants exist. There used to be regular humans around, but that was generations before everyone figured out how to put Saint Graphs in their body.

Fate Series (Franchise) / int_6b983bf7	comment	You'd think that the Berserker class is made up of people with Unstoppable Rage. Sure, there's no shortage of them, but that's not the actual qualification. Berserkers are those who are inflicted with Madness Enhancement, which makes their behaviour erratic even if it previously wasn't. While there are plenty of natural Berserkers who had a few screws loose to begin with, you also end up with folks like Florence Nightingale (who wasn't like this at all in real life), and Beowulf who isn't acting any crazy at all. Oh and by the way, there are some people out of the Berserker class who have Madness Enhancement.

Thing is, other than that they're both blonde women drawn by a guy notable for Only Six Faces, the two don't actually bear that much resemblance to each other—they have different builds, different hair in color and style, different heights, different eye colors, and even their faces are noticeably different in structure.

Fate Series (Franchise) / int_71bd62b9	comment	Calling Your Attacks: Most Noble Phantasms must be called out in order to be used. This, along with high mana consumption, is the main reason why they are used with caution: an opponent may be able to deduce the Servant's identity through their Noble Phantasm, although some are most obvious than others. Exceptions are Noble Phantasms that are continously active, like Diarmuid Ua Duibhne's Gae Dearg and Gae Buidhe, Lancelot's Knight of Owner and For Someone's Glory, and Heracles' God Hand. Gilgamesh's ultimate weapon was Never Given a Name until he decided to name it Ea. However, when he attacks with it, he calls the attack "Enuma Elish", presumably in homage to his best friend Enkidu, whose own ultimate Noble Phantasm is called Enuma Elish.

Fate Series (Franchise) / int_7ea8f5ce	comment	Knight in Shining Armor: There are plenty of examples, several of whom were actual knights of the Round Table. To start with, there is Fate/stay night's Saber, a Lady of War who believes wholeheartedly in honor and fair play. Fitting, considering she's King Arthur/Artoria Pendragon. Fate/Zero's Lancer is very similar to the aforementioned Saber, and the two of them actually see each other as a Worthy Opponent and Friendly Enemy because of that. Gawain is the "most honorable knight" according to Artoria, with being undyingly loyal and a bit of a chivalrous pervert. Turns out that part of the reason why he's so loyal is due to blaming himself for Artoria's death. Subverted in Fate/Grand Order, where he ends up following the evil Lion King due to his guilt over said death. However, the Gawain summoned by the Lion King is different than the one allied with the player, and the trope is again played straight in the SE.RA.PH arc. Sir Bedivere might be the shiniest of all of them. He's unfailingly chivalrous, loyal and an upstanding guy all around. And even with his Heroic Self-Deprecation, he's still a very impressive Badass Normal.

The story behind that started when the twin Edefelt sisters went to Japan to participate in the Third Holy Grail War, only to lose. Because only one of them would be allowed to inherit the Edefelt's magic crest, the two were expected to fight to the death so that only the stronger of the two would return. The older sister returned, but with only half of her magic crest, claiming her sister's half had been destroyed in their battle. In reality, the younger sister was rescued by the Tohsaka heir, who later married her, and added her half of the magic crest to the Tohsaka's magic crest, granting her son and granddaughter the jewel magecraft that the Edefelts were well-known for. In the modern day, Rin and Luvia resemble reach other and use almost identical magecraft, yet maintain the history that Rin's grandmother was an unknown European woman, and that Luvia's grandmother survived the Third Grail War while her younger sister didn't.

This informed a lot of her characterization, with her having a massive inferiority complex and considering herself a pale shadow of the original. But when Jalter became a Breakout Character and was Promoted to Playable, the designers took note of her popularity and raised her power considerably—going from four-star to five-star, switching class from Ruler to Avenger, being given the highest rarity, and possessing the highest offensive stats in the game, to the point of having been a top-tier Servant at some points. Her inferiority complex now makes very little sense in gameplay terms, but it's such an important part of her character and her relationship with her "sister" that it's stuck around.

Fate Series (Franchise) / int_92a61707	comment	The Speechless: This was originally suggested to be a trait common to all of The Berserker-class Servants since their insanity has robbed them of their ability to speak.

In fact, he's quite talkative after you kill him. In Fate/EXTRA, Lu Bu Fengxian likewise cannot speak. Fate/Grand Order did away with this convention, since a character who cannot speak is a very boring one to write for, and most of the Berserkers featured in it can speak, aside from those mentioned above. Avenger of Shinjuku does not speak at all which is justified as it's the Headless Horseman who lacks a head to communicate verbally with and his partner is a wolf who has no means of speaking, magical or otherwise.

Fate Series (Franchise) / int_9de109d	comment	Historical Gender Flip: Gender-flipping famous historical and/or legendary figures has for better or worse become one of the series's hallmarks. Saber's character is thoroughly explored in different ways in Fate/stay night and the prequel Fate/Zero. It should be noted that she is quite insistent on being called "king," and spent most of her life doing everything she could to ignore or hide her female gender. Due to sexism, she didn't have much choice. A relatively small core of her inner circle knew the truth, including Merlin, Lancelot, Gawain, Guinevere, and her older foster brother Kay. Certainly puts a different spin on Lancelot and Guinevere's affair, doesn't it? Fate/EXTRA features a gender-flipped version of Nero as the playable Saber. It also has a female Francis Drake as the Pirate Girl Rider, originally implied to be Queen Elizabeth in disguise, though later games have dropped that interpretation. Fate/Extella: The Umbral Star, the spin-off, added a female version of Attila the Hun (who was more notably an alien superweapon). In Fate/Apocrypha, Assassin of Black is gender-flipped Jack the Ripper (though justified as Jack's true identity is unknown, and while Assassin of Black killed prostitutes, she doesn't know for certain if she was Jack due to her vague memories) and Saber of Red is a gender-flipped Mordred (created through a bizarre set of circumstances involving sorcery who, like her "father," insists on not being treated as female). Non-historically, it also has a gender-flipped Frankenstein's Monster, because Victor Frankenstein always intended to make a pair (instead of being blackmailed by The Creature to make a mate) but just made "Eve" first and was turned off after seeing how she turned out with her wanting him to finish the job. Amusingly, it also features a subversion with Astolfo, who several characters in-universe originally mistake for being female due to both looks and personality, but he's still a guy, as Jeanne finds out first-hand when he comes out of the shower naked with his privates exposed. Worth noting is that Astolfo's existence as a gender neutral character is what lead to Modred being made female, so as to avoid having two amibigiously gendered characters. Fate/strange Fake changes genders without flipping the male/female binary. Enkidu gets changed from being male to having No Biological Sex and an androgynous appearance (depending on the translation, they're given "he" or "they" pronouns). There's also another iteration of Jack the Ripper, this one a personification of Jack's legend; they have no fixed gender, and are able to take the form of anyone or anything that's been identified as Jack, including Assassin of Black. Koha-Ace features a genderflipped Oda Nobunaga and Okita Souji. The rest of the cast retain their historical genders until the introduction of Nagao Kagetora. Since it's a gag series, it isn't treated particularly seriously, but Nobunaga has actually been fleshed out a bit more in later, more serious works, where she crushed all dissent through force and ruled openly as a woman, and her downfall came when one of her retainers, Akechi, who was in love with her and jealous of her seemingly favoring others, assassinated her out of mad jealousy. It also introduced well in advance the idea that Sun Wukong has the power to change his physical gender along with his shape. Fate/Grand Order, having a huge cast compared to most other entries in the franchise, has naturally added many more examples, such as Minamoto-no-Raikou (Yorimitsu) and her descendant Ushiwakamaru (Yoshitsune). As early as the first event, the developers had already begun to parody the trope with Artemis, who originally pretends to be a gender-flipped Orion, and the cast buys it before the real Orion, whom she's trapped as a stuffed animal, starts to speak up. In fact, gender-flipping historical figures has gotten so common that the franchise has begun to try to be clever about it. Miyamoto Musashi is a woman, but she actually comes from an Alternate Timeline while the "main" Nasuverse's Miyamoto Musashi is explicitly referred to as male. Leonardo da Vinci appears as a woman, but is confirmed to have been male in life; his obsession with aesthetics and the Golden Rule (Beauty) skill altered his appearance and gender into that of the Mona Lisa (not that da Vinci seems to mind). And the original Katsushika Hokusai takes the form of a tiny octopus that floats near his daughter Oui (the "Servant Hokusai" is both of them, since Oui produced some of her own art under her father's name). Xu Fu is a woman and comments that some bureaucrats hated her seemingly for being a woman given the important task of discovering immortality for the emperor and thus wrote her as being a man just to spite her (her own androgynous looks combined with her clothing doesn't hurt either). Van Gogh claims to be a female Vincent van Gogh, but it is noted that the real one was male, with lots of evidence to counter her claim; she is eventually revealed to be an artificial mashup of Van Gogh's memories and the body and soul of Clytie, created by an Eldritch Abomination after the real Van Gogh refused to serve its plans to the point of killing himself. Meanwhile, Kiichi Hougen appears to be another genderbent servant, but it turns out that Hougen has the ability to shapeshift into different genders (in which their gender is listed as unknown instead). Lostbelt 6 introduces Gender Flip and Fairy versions of Lancelot, Gawain, and Tristan that serve Morgan le Fay. However, they are revealed by the Tristan from Proper Human History to actually be Fairies that have stolen the identities of the real knights. Russian folk-hero Dobrynya Nikitich appears as a woman rather than a male, though it's revealed that like Artemis with Orion, it is actually Dobrynya's wife Nastasia taking over his Spirit Graph when summoned. Don Quixote's squire Sancho Panza is a horsegirl, but rather than being gender-flipped, she's a composite of Don Quixote's supporting cast, including Sancho, Dulcinea, Altisidora, and his horse Rocinante. While she was alluded to and had a voiced cameo prior to her official reveal, Fate/Grand Order Arcade introduces Merlin Prototype, who is a gender-flip of both her male counterpart Merlin from the main game, and also of the mythological figure Merlin who himself was an amalgamation of different historical and mythological figures; in her native universe, Arthur and Mordred are male, and she's the one who got gender-flipped. This is also a Casting Gag since as the Male Proto Arthur and Main Universe Merlin share the same voice actor, so too do Proto Merlin and Artoria. (Staff have joked this would also apply to a Proto Fou, since regular Fou also shares his actress with Artoria) The mobile and arcade versions of Fate/Grand Order are basically Alternate Timelines, with one of the differences at first glance being that Jacques de Molay is a male Saber in Arcade and a female Foreigner in Mobile. However, Foreigner Jacques was a man in life, who changed genders post-mortem due to the influence of his patron Outer God, which would point to them actually being different classes of the same Heroic Spirit... if it weren't for the fact Foreigner Jacques asserts she wasn't strong enough to become a Heroic Spirit by herself, and dismisses the idea of her Saber counterpart's existence. What's actually going on with them is currently unknown. The practice in Fate/Grand Order is Justified (and mocked) in the parody manga Learning with Manga! FGO, where the implied reason for the genderflips among the original Servants' ranks is due to the protagonist being a lesbian with a "no boys" policy. This is the origin of the Paul Bunyan servant in the game, who doesn't understand how on earth she became a small girl. Fate/Requiem: Erice Utsumi ponders on the series' tendency to have men in history and myth actually be women, using Francis Drake as an example, as all of her contemporaries remember her as either male or female. Erice concludes that Drake's actual gender doesn't really matter, compared to the great feats achieved. So far, the Greek mathematician Euclid has been revealed as a woman.

Within the franchise, every Berserker introduced after them does not have the Mad alignment, though. With the exception of a gag character named Mori Nagayoshi. Grand Order introduces Summer Servants, who are reclassed and wearing swimwear (Artoria is an Archer with a Squirt Gun for example), and for some instead of a Good/Evil alignment have "Summer". And then there's Nero Bride (An alternate Nero based on a costume from CCC), who has the alignment of Chaotic Bride.

Fate Series (Franchise) / int_a1a38c5d	type	Divine Right of Kings
Fate Series (Franchise) / int_a1a38c5d	comment	Divine Right of Kings: The franchise deals a lot with people from different eras, so there's a lot about how divine right works in a world where divine power is very real. This is in fact among the most central themes of an episode of Fate/Zero. Gilgamesh was the half-divine king of ancient Uruk, born to rule the entire world. Gilgamesh was designed before his birth to connect humanity and the gods, as the gods were already fading as humanity rose. Gilgamesh was a rather terrible person but a decent king, and he grew into a Well-Intentioned Extremist who mostly kept his people safe. His treasure vault contained everything that existed at the time, and when he reappears in the modern world, due to the way magic works there is a strong argument to be made that he still owns everything. He is therefore almost always a villain whenever he appears, as he insists that it is his right to do absolutely whatever he wants, including killing off ninety percent of the population so that the survivors will be "worthy" of his rule. For him, the "divine right" is an entitlement. Alexander the Great, by contrast, argues that being king, while it comes with his being born into the elite, is something that needs to be worked for—something pursued by being the most ambitious, powerful, boisterous, larger-than-life character of your domain. Kingship for him, while facilitated by his divine attributes, is something that he has also earned by inspiring people to follow his example and his dreams. For him, the "divine right" is as much an entitlement as it is being The Paragon. King Arthur was the prophecied king of Britain, proven by pulling Caliburn from the stone. After Caliburn was shattered, Arthur was given Excalibur, an even more powerful weapon forged by fairies from the magical heart of the world itself, thus symbolizing that the world approves of Arthur's rule. As Saber intones, therefore, kingship requires being both The Paragon and an Inspirational Martyr.

The only, sole exception to this is Arturia, the iconic female King Arthur, with her male prototype design being named "Arthur" instead. As a result, you get a cast full of female characters named such things as Francis, Jack, Hassan, Mordred, or Nero, and people don't really question it. Though there's no shortage of actual male characters and female characters actually based on female historical figures/characters.

And those are just from the first installment alone. Fate/EXTRA CCC introduced "High Servants", which are Heroic Spirits that are made up of more than one mythological figure. The Sakura Five are all made up of a part of B.B. and at least three godesses each. Sitonai of Fate/Grand Order goes even further, as she's both this and a Pseudo-Servant (meaning she's 3 different divine characters Sharing a Body). Oh, and the host body is a homunculus. In addition to the abilities Heroic Spirits already have, there can be alternate selves with several further modifiers: Alter,note A darker version of the character, typically created through some sort of corruption Lily,note a version of the person from a more idealized or innocent time, regardless of if that time really existed Santa,note a gag modifier where the person takes on Santa's role, Pseudo-Servantnote a Heroic Spirit possessing a host body, whatever that body may be, and Demi-Servantnote Human permanently fused with a Heroic Spirit and possesses a body modified to be like a Servant to name a few. Parodied with Jeanne D'Arc Alter Santa Lily, who is the idealized younger self of a Santa self of an Evil Knockoff. Her introductory event had the world trying to figure out how she's even alive, as Jeanne Alter never had a younger self to be idealized since she was Born as an Adult.

In some installments, it's possible for a Master to have more than one Servant active and in their repertoire.

Fate Series (Franchise) / int_b9085a47	comment	Summon Magic: The Servants in Fate/stay night, the prequel, and the pseudo-sequel are copies of Heroic Spirits, heroes or other major figures from history and myth stored in the Throne of Heroes, an interdimensional realm where these figures go after death. A Magus prepares a magic circle, usually made of blood. Optionally, he/she can add a relic of that hero or specify them as a Berserker (provided that someone else hasn't summoned their Servant as a Berserker yet) in order to get a specific hero. If no relic is used, the Servant summoned will be a random one who has a compatible personality to the Master. Between the two is using a "generalist" relic that can potentially summon a pool of Heroic Spirits tied to it but will end up with the one most compatible with the Master. Then they show up, the Master makes a contract for a week or two throughout the Grail War. The Servant stays until either they are defeated or the Grail War ends, at which point the Grail stops helping the Master supply them with Prana and their copies disappear and merge with their original versions in the Throne of Heroes. Except for Gilgamesh, who did not return to the Throne of Heroes after the end of the Fourth Holy Grail War. In addition, due to making a deal with the Earth, Saber/Arturia has chosen not to join the Throne of Heroes until she wins a Holy Grail War and gets her wish, so instead, she returns to her original moment of death every time she dies in a Holy Grail War (which is what happens offscreen at the end of Fate/Zero, and the cycle ends in the main ending of the Fate route of Fate/stay night, where she accepts being Killed Off for Real). Saber and Rider/Medusa also stay in the present with their Masters in two of the endings of Unlimited Blade Works and Heaven's Feel respectively. Oh, and the magus who summons them generally has an absolutely 0% chance of ever being able to beat their Servant in combat, though there are a few exceptions. Among the Servants themselves, a few have the ability to cast their own Summon Magic. Fate/Zero's Caster, for instance, instead of fighting the others directly, only ever uses his Tome of Eldritch Lore to bring in monsters that fight on his behalf.

In Fate/Apocrypha, the Assassin Servant —a Chaotic Evil Anti-Villain— expresses a preference for evil souls because their foulness makes them that much tastier, and souls of similar alignment are easier to digest. It's not commented on often, but other kinds of magical creatures are able to do this since a soul is a pretty nifty source of Mana and can even be used to extend one's lifespan, and even mages can get in on this. However, it's often looked down upon in modern magical society since, moral issues aside, plenty of things can go wrong in the process, and even if successful, prolonged usage will cause Death of Personality even in the best case scenario.

Fate Series (Franchise) / int_ca04edd6	comment	Sasaki Kojiro is stated to be a fake, who was only allowed to become an Assassin by virtue of Medea having screwed with the system, and therefore also one of the weakest Servants around (more of a human with some magical enhancements and moderate Charles Atlas Superpower). At the time, this was because it was canon that only members of an actual historical assassin order could be Assassins. Understandably, this was a bit limiting, so later installments tend to treat the qualification for being an Assassin as simply "is sneaky and killed someone", with only a handful since meeting the original benchmark. But Kojiro is still regarded as a relative weakling (he's a one-star in Fate/Grand Order, for instance, one out of only three in the Assassin class and of eleven in total), even though there now isn't much of a reason for him to be one. Ostensibly, this is because the historical record on Kojiro is vague enough that he was most likely fictional, but this is a bit of an odd place to draw the line when Fate normally takes the All Myths Are True approach with Servants—for comparison, fellow canonical Assassins have included Doctor Jekyll and The Phantom of the Opera. One storyline even featured an alternate universe involving his famous rival Miyamoto Musashi—there's a Kojiro in that universe, and he is exactly like the "fake" one. The Musashi from said storyline is playable and isn't remotely weak.

Fate Series (Franchise) / int_cc4b45f6	comment	In fact, the power of a Servant varies depending of how much it's known and/or revered in their current location. For example, Word of God states that Lancer of "Black" (Vlad the Impaler) could completely destroy Berserker (Heracles/Hercules) and Saber (gender-flipped King Arthur) from Fate/stay night, two Servants whose identities are known world-wide, because he was summoned in his home country of Romania, close to his native city to boot, and has a Skill that lets him secure a certain amount of land as his own and boost his power as long as he remains within the bounds of that land (which fittingly enough, is at the headquarters of the Yggdmillennia). This dual-layer homefield advantage is enough he's able to fight toe-to-toe with Lancer of "Red" (Karna) when normally he would be completely crushed by his Gilgamesh-leveled opponent. This is what ends up happening when he is forced to sacrifice said advantage to fight on the enemy's home turf.

Fate/EXTRA (CCC) has 128 Masters all fighting (though gameplay and story limitations means the player gets to see about 15 of the actual participants) for the Grail. Fate/Grand Order allows you to use all those Servants and then some, even allowing you to swing by other eras' Grail Wars with all of their Servants. Fate/Requiem trumps them all with everybody on the planet but the protagonist getting Servants as a result of an unspecified war. How specialized can a Servant class get? The Assassins initially were ranked from the 19 members of the Hassan clan (that changed), while the Rulers were initially servants of God (also changed). Fate/EXTRA introduced the concept of special classes that only one Servant can have, like Saver (Buddha) and Funny Vamp/Temptress (a possible class for Arcueid Brunestud). As of Fate/Grand Order, we have the Moon Cancer class, which consists of B.B. and for the long time only B.B. As of 2023, there are still only five different Moon Cancers, however, making it the rarest class with more than one candidate. The same game introduces another uniquely rare class: the Beast class reserved for apocalyptic monstrosities, which has a variety of candidates but apparently only one, the Whore of Babylon, who could ever approach a more normal existence as a Servant with a Master.

Fate Series (Franchise) / int_ce147566	comment	Weak Boss, Strong Underlings: Usually, Masters are human mages of variable magical prowess, although there have been cases of normal people being able to summon Servants. However, no matter how strong the Master is, their Servants will always be stronger by virtue of being a suprahuman Heroic Spirit. Pretty much any Servant can butcher the Squishy Wizards that the Masters are. Masters only control their Servants because of the contract both parties signed at the moment of the summon, which grants Masters Command Spells to force the Servants into doing their bidding.

Fate Series (Franchise) / int_d3b02ffb	type	I Know Your True Name
Fate Series (Franchise) / int_d3b02ffb	comment	I Know Your True Name: When it comes to "Servants", they tend to have their true names hidden behind their class name, i.e "Saber", "Archer", etc. Downplayed in that it happens less for "magical" reasons and more for practical ones: Servants are (typically) historical/mythical people and thus are famous in one way or another; their abilities and weaknesses can be easily discerned just by learning their true names, so they make sure to not reveal them to anyone but their "Masters". In Fate/Zero, two Servants discard this advantage by openly announcing their true names, both purely out of ego. Alexander the Great (Rider) tries to recruit all the other Servants to abandon the Holy Grail War and become his generals to conquer the world, while Gilgamesh (Archer) simply thinks the other Servants and their Masters are so far beneath him that there's no point hiding his identity. It's played straighter with their "Noble Phantasms", an item/ability that is the "crystallized legend" of the respective Servants in question; they usually have to be invoked by saying its name if they want to use the greater extent of the Noble Phantasms' strength. Like the identities of the Servants, having other people learn of a Servant's Noble Phantasm's name can lead to them deducing the Servant's identity, so they tend to not be used until the right time. The normal way to summon a Servant requires a catalyst, an item from their life (or at the very least intimately associated with their legend) to focus in on them and summon them. The exceptions are the True Assassins, the nineteen men and women who bore the name Hassan-i-Sabbah. Since they are the origin of the word "assassin," the class name itself is the catalyst. Other members of the Assassin class still need normal catalysts. Servants with the Skill "Uncrowned Martial Arts" cause anyone they meet to underestimate them, and if someone looks at them through Stat-O-Vision, all of their stats will look one Rank weaker than they actually are. If someone learns the Servant's true name, the effect will not apply to them and they will see exactly how strong the Servant is.

In those days, it made a lot of sense, since he was mostly just a Punch-Clock Villain for the monstrously-cruel Zouken Matou and didn't show any redeeming qualities. But ever since then, especially when the Camelot singularity of Grand Order gave him an actual backstory and personality, he's never been a villainous character, and has consistently been shown as heroic, kind, and goodhearted. Nonetheless, his alignment has yet to be changed.

Fate/stay night's Caster can canonically take on every living magi in the modern world and win because she's from the age of gods and miracles, and science hasn't nerfed her magic. This is also why the three known true magics are so powerful: they are beyond modern science and so haven't been hit by this effect at all. Given what happens in one of the possible "The End of the World as We Know It" scenarios, in which magic dies out completely, this could be construed as not the best of courses for humanity (although whether it was avoidable is another matter). In another timeline, magic went away but was replaced by Sufficiently Advanced Technology from an alien civilization.

Fate Series (Franchise) / int_de763115	comment	Hollywood Board Games: On two occasions a modified chess board can be seen — 7x7 grid, Masters as the pawns, Servants as the other pieces, and a Holy Grail in the middle. Each time, its presence signifies different things. Although, in both cases, the Masters are the pawns not only because they are more plainly designed than the Servants but also because the power plays between the Servants have as much of an impact on the Wars' outcomes as the interactions between the Masters. Fate/Zero: Gilgamesh is seen idly playing with a golden set of this board, although it appears to only have one side. That is golden is a nod to how Gilgamesh only owns the very best of everything because he considers himself king of everything. On the other hand, this also gives Chess Motifs to him in the sense of him being a massive Manipulative Bastard who treats people as pawns because it entertains him. Curiously enough, his class (Archer), is not positioned in the center. That position belongs to the Saber class. Plot-wise, this makes sense as Saber is The Protagonist and also the most powerful class. Fate/Apocrypha: That it's Lord El-Melloi II, aka Waver, the one explaining the modified rules of the Great Holy Grail War to one of his students through the aforementioned board means two things primarily. One, he survived a previous war and not only emerged unscathed but also learned to be more patient and confident in his own strategies. Two, that he's a much more approachable Professor than Lord El-Melloi I was. About the student himself, he's very much a Keet and seems to learn better when he can see and interact with stuff. On a related note, this particular board has two sides (black and red), thus matching the special circumstances of this war.

Similarly, Nero Claudius still suffers from migraines and Benienma is still missing her tongue as Heroic Spirits because those traits were part of their legends.

In Fate/Apocrypha, we find out that Mordred is indeed an Opposite-Sex Clone... except she's still female. Specifically, Artoria was temporarily transformed into a pseudo-male by Merlin, and Artoria's sister Morgan le Fey used the opportunity to get a DNA sample. She then used that to grow a homunculus of the opposite gender, meaning Mordred came out female. Word of God explained some of this before Apocrypha came out.

Fate Series (Franchise) / int_f31926c2	comment	Expendable Alternate Universe: This is part of the world's natural law. As shown in Fate/Grand Order, the timeline naturally branches multiple times following the different possibilities of human history. However, there are only a finite amount of "water" (energy) to sustain so many different timelines at once, so every once in a while (around a century or so, usually during certain important historical events) the world would use something called a "Quantum Time-Lock", making everything that happened during its usage immutable. This has the side effect of Cutting Off the Branches that strayed too far from the "trunk of the history tree", especially if those timeline branches end with humanity becoming stagnant in one way or another and thus the energy would be wasted on them. The timelines that are "pruned" underwent Cessation of Existence, but as shown in the second saga of the game, they can be "resumed" by planting something called the "Tree of Emptiness" on them, creating a "Lostbelt" that are centered on where the trees are planted (e.g Russian Lostbelt shows an Alternate History of Russia). These trees are planted by the new villains and the resumed "defunct" timelines threaten to overwrite whole human history, so our heroes travel around the world to destroy them; however, they're faced with the dilemma of having to end the lives of the Lostbelt inhabitants, but they're encouraged by one of their Lostbelt allies to continue fighting for their world's future, no matter the cost.

Fate Series (Franchise) / int_f3fd818b	type	Dark Reprise
Fate Series (Franchise) / int_f3fd818b	comment	Fuyuki's map theme is a remix of "Into the Night" from Fate/stay night, as an indication that the protagonist, like Shirou Emiya, has just stepped into something much bigger when rayshifted to Fuyuki. It gets a Dark Reprise as Andromalius' battle theme, since that Demon Pillar represents Fuyuki for the final battle.

Fate Series (Franchise) / int_fdc4fab4	comment	Depending on the Writer: Nero presents herself as a cheerful, boisterous, battle-ready Emperor who is loved by all and drips with Awesome Ego. In some appearances, this is mostly a front for her massive Inferiority Superiority Complex, her deluded narcissism, and her guilt over her complete failure as a ruler. In others, it's taken at face value.
