Fate/Apocrypha	comment	Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Fate/Apocrypha is a Light Novel written by Yuichiro Higashide and illustrated by Ototsugu Konoe set in the Fate universe. It was originally conceived as a joint-project MMORPG by Type-Moon, with the help of several other authors and artists like Gen Urobuchi, but was eventually cancelled when a suitable development partner could not be foundnote at least until it eventually evolved into the mobile game Fate/Grand Order. The concept was later revived as a five-part Light Novel, with two previews published in the Type-Moon Ace magazine. The full first novel was released at Comiket on 29 December 2012. The second novel was released on the 15th of August, 2013, the third on December 29, 2013, the fourth on May 30, 2014, and the fifth and final volume was released on December 30, 2014.In an Alternate Timeline to Fate/stay night, the world is forever changed when the rebellious Yggdmillennia faction steals the Greater Grail during the Third Holy Grail War and hides it within Trifas, Transylvania. This theft causes the Grail system to go out of control, resulting in a number of smaller "regional" Holy Grail Wars across the world, each presided over by a "Ruler" Servant summoned by the Grails themselves to ensure the rules are obeyed and the Wars do not involve innocent people.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Six decades after the Third Holy Grail War, Yggdmillennia suddenly emerges from hiding and declares independence from the Mage's Association by announcing a new world order where mages of any background and talent, not just those from strong bloodlines, will be allowed to learn the art of magecraft under them. As proof of their authority, a Great Holy Grail War will be held between themselves and the Mage's Association: instead of a seven-way battle royale, two teams of seven Servants will battle each other for the right to claim the Greater Grail.Jeanne d'Arc is summoned as the designated Ruler of this Great Holy Grail War, and departs to Transylvania where she hopes to adjudicate the battle between the Mage Association's "Red Faction" and Yggdmillennia's "Black Faction". Yet it quickly becomes clear that something is seriously wrong with this Grail War, and its parties will do whatever it takes to seize the ultimate prize for themselves.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); })An anime adaptation by A-1 Pictures was announced December 31, 2016. It premiered on July 1, 2017, has been licensed for exclusive streaming on Netflix, and ran for 25 episodes. The first half of the series premiered on Netflix worldwide on November 7, 2017, and the second half premiered in February 2018.A novel called Fate/Apocrypha: Side of Survivor was released in the second Blu-ray edition which details what happened to the survivors of the Grail War. A sequel called Fate:Lost Einherjar details a new Grail War ten years in the future where each Master summons two Servants.

Fate/Apocrypha / int_1237828f	comment	Anyone Can Die: There is little doubt that a lot of Servants will die, now that there are 15 of them in total. (And probably some of the Masters will kick the bucket too). Of the major characters, only Astolfo, Fiore, Caules, Gordes, and Sieg (as a dragon!) remain alive by the end.

Fate/Apocrypha / int_19b6f396	type	Alternate Timeline
Fate/Apocrypha / int_19b6f396	comment	Alternate Timeline: To Fate/Zero and Fate/stay night. In this story, after the Holy Grail was stolen from Fuyuki following the third Holy Grail War by the Yggdmillennia, it was no longer held there and was instead held in Transylvania. In addition, there have been numerous Holy Grail Wars fought all over the world since the theft of the original grail, which is presumably how Waver managed to achieve the title of Lord El-Melloi II as he did in Fate/Zero. The main difference is that the Romania Leyline is better than most, allowing the summoning of fourteen Servants rather than fewer than seven (a number of these supplementary Grail Wars apparently don't even boast a normal complement of seven) and is capable of reaching the Root. And the original summon catalysts for the usual Fate/stay night and Fate/Zero Servants have been lost since, once the information of the war spread, they were stolen and passed around until no one knew where they were. The Servants of Apocrypha can seem a little "second-string" because that's the point - they're easier to summon with broad catalysts (like Mordred) or are a bit obscure and all their relics haven't been plundered yet. However, it is implied that El-Melloi II managed to keep the very same catalyst he used to summon Iskandar in the Holy Grail War he participated in. The material book reveals what happened to major characters from Fate/stay night in this timeline. Kirei grew up in an uneasy coexistence with Amakusa as a "stepbrother", and took over the position of priest when Risei died of natural causes. Because there was no Fourth Holy Grail War, he never experienced the development of Zero, though Amakusa is wary enough to avoid him in case that actually does happen. Because the Grail was stolen by Darnic, Zouken is completely shut down and the Matou family dies off as a result. The Tohsakas completely give up on the Greater Grail to reach the Root after the Third War, instead becoming Kung Fu Wizards specializing in Chinese kenpou to do so. Tokiomi's dilemma of having two daughters to raise still happens but because the Matous are no more, the Edelfelts adopt Sakura instead. Sakura grows up to be a pro wrestler and becomes Luviagelita/Luvia Edelfelt's tag team partner. The Einzberns just decide to try and create a new Greater Grail from scratch. Kiritsugu is never hired and subsequently, Ilyasviel is never born, so the Einzberns will eternally toil since Ilya's nonexistence means there is no ultimate failure to give up on. The Fuyuki Fire never happens so Shirou lives out a normal life with his surname unchanged to "Emiya" and a much more cheerful disposition. Rin and Sakura are still his love interests.

Fate/Apocrypha / int_19ba91b5	comment	Vlad III's vampire form also demonstrates this trope, where it is shown that he is able to take on six Servants at the same time—including the aforementioned Karna. This is despite the fact that Vlad III had just lost his double-layered Home Field Advantage and that the six Servants were empowered by Jeanne herself. One can only imagine how powerful Vlad III's vampire form might have been had he retained both layers of his Home Field Advantage.

Fate/Apocrypha / int_1b65dfad	comment	The Cameo: Waver Velvet of Fate/Zero brief appearances at the beginning and the end as Lord El-Melloi II. Saint Martha of Fate/Grand Order appears in Chapter 5 of the manga during an explanation of the Ruler class. She's more well-known as a Rider, but GO does feature her as a Ruler...in a bikini, so her Rider costume is used in the manga. Arjuna also makes a brief appearance in this chapter as Karna compares Siegfried to him. Flatt Escardos of Fate/strange fake makes an appearance in the first episode of the anime adaptation. Arturia, Merlin, Lancelot, Tristan, Gawain, Bedivere and even Agravain all appear briefly during Mordred's flashback in episode 6 of the anime adaptation.note Those cameos also bring in a bit of an Adaptation-Induced Plot Hole, as Bedivere appears with his Airgetlám metal arm, something he most definitely did not have back in the Round Table days. For a non-character cameo, Arturia's lance Rhongomyniad appears for the first time with its FGO appearance, whereas in previous showings of the scene it was a simple lance. Morgan le Fay (Mordred's mother and Arturia's sister) also makes her first animated appearance in the same episode. Merlin and Arturia make another appearance in episode 23 in Mordred's thoughts as she struggles to survive against Semiramis's poison. Fionn Mac Cumhaill of Fate/Grand Order appears in episode 9 of the anime and chapter 27 of the manga, appearing as Darnic's servant during his flashback to the Third Holy Grail War. Zouken Matou of Fate/stay night also appears in the same flashback in the anime, bleeding out and dying as he futilely reaches out to the zeppelins taking the Greater Grail away. Medea (specifically, her "Lily" version from Fate/Grand Order) and Artemis appear in episode 18 as part of Atalanta's flashback to her past. Justeaze Lizrich von Einzbern appears before Shirou in episode 20, dressed in full Dress of Heaven regalia. Statues of Hektor and Penthesilea as they appeared in Fate/Grand Order appeared during the activation of Achilles Cosmos Noble Phantasm, both of them being heroes with heavy links with Achilles' legend. Gordes's son Gordolf appears in the ending montage during the final episode. His design first appeared in the Fate/Apocrypha Materials book, and he made his proper debut (albeit an older, alternate timeline version) in Fate/Grand Order mere days before the last episode aired. Chapter 42 of the manga has Bradamante and Roland from Grand Order and Charlemagne from Extella Link appear in Astolfo's flashback.

Fate/Apocrypha / int_1ba17583	comment	The second is the King of Arcadia, Atalanta's father. While he never appeared on-screen, his only existence is to show how miserable Atalanta's past was: He discarded her to die in the wild the moment he found out that she's a girl and he wanted a boy. And then he only came back when Atalanta gained enough fame from the Calydonian Hunt and saw her only as a tool to boost his own ego, telling her to marry someone so he could have an awesome heir and overriding Atalanta's protests because he's the King. This led to a chain of events where Atalanta held a footrace contest for her marriage and killing those who lost (this is one event that marks her as 'Evil' alignment-wise), and then losing to Hippomenes due to a cheat and then getting turned to a lion by the Greek Gods. Losing an heir aside, the King gets away scot-free.

Gordes saw the nod as "your will be done, master" while Siegfried meant it more as "sure, why not?". Gordes arrogantly assumes that Siegfried is merely a tool at his disposal, and this arrogance causes him to not only waste two command spells and nearly expose Siegfried's Noble Phantasm so early in the war, but it causes Siegfried to act on his own to save the Homunculus's life at the cost of his own.

Both of them survive despite their injuries and continue the fight with Mordred overpowering Sieg. Played straight with the clash of Karna's Vasavi Shakti and Sieg's Command Spell-enhanced Balmung. In this case, however, it's all Sieg can do just to maintain a stalemate with the god-slaying weapon, and Sieg only survives when Astolfo shows up with Achilles' final Noble Phantasm to absorb Karna's attack.

Fate/Apocrypha / int_2cd6b637	comment	In the second volume, we see the true extent of just how overpowered Karna can be: despite the story going to great lengths to describe just how powerful Vlad III had become thanks to the Holy Grail War's location and his own Demonic Defender of the State Noble Phantasm, Karna was still able to overpower Vlad III for the majority of their match without bothering to use Brahmastra or Vasavi Shakti. Even when Vlad III bypassed the effects of Karna's legendary armour by skewering him from the inside of his body, Karna merely shrugged it off and incinerated the stakes that were within his body. Had Karna uses his Brahmastra there, Vlad would have been incinerated.

The fact that she's been Gender Flipped aside, her cute appearance is also more accurate to the original novel: apart from his eye color and a general unnerving nature about his appearance, the monster is described as physically attractive, intelligent, and articulate, a stark contrast to Boris Karloff's iconic groans and "green brick" look.

Fate/Apocrypha / int_3d699462	comment	Curb-Stomp Battle: The Hanging Gardens siege ends in an overwhelmingly favorable position for the Red Faction. The Black Faction loses three servants, including their two strongest, their Caster betrays them, and their Assassin goes rogue. In contrast, although the Red Faction loses their Berserker and their Saber switches sides, all their other servants (including two ridiculously overpowered ones) are still kicking, and Shirou Kotomine is a Ruler-class himself. Luckily, the Black Faction gets reinforcements with Mordred, Ruler (Jeanne) and Sieg (who can use Siegfried's power for a limited time) joining them to stop Amakusa Shirou. Rider of Red wipes the floor with Berserker of Black during their brief encounter, since she can't hurt him and he horribly outclasses her in combat ability. Saber of Black fares better in that he's skilled enough to clash with Rider of Red evenly, but due to the nature of their Noble Phantasms, neither one can really hurt the other. Kairi Sisigou and Saber of Red vs. half a dozen of Caster of Black's golems and several homunculi soldiers. Master and Servant tear them apart (quite literally in Saber's case) and walk away with no injuries to their name. Later, Mordred wipes the floor with Astolfo and Frankenstein, making the latter use her last resort attack.

One of these scenes in particular is notable for being the debut of Reines El-Melloi Archisorte, who is only a minor character here but would go on to be one of the main protagonists of Lord El-Melloi II Case Files. All of these Clock Tower scenes were cut from the anime, but fortunately the manga kept them.

They hope to have a rematch in the future, which is rather tragic as Siegfried would later go on to perform a Heroic Sacrifice and thus miss any opportunity to battle Karna again. On the other hand, the result of said sacrifice, Sieg, eventually does do battle with Karna one last time.

Fate/Apocrypha / int_48081842	comment	The Stinger: In the first episode, a young girl is shown praying to Jeanne d'Arc... right before Jeanne is summoned and takes over her body. In Episode 5, Shirou brainwashes the other Masters of Red into giving him their Command Spells. In Episode 9, just as Mordred is about to kill Astolfo, Sieg arrives and challenges her. In Episode 14, Kairi and Fiore meet in a plain, both of them noting that neither of them are enemies, at least for the time being. In Episode 18, Shakespeare is writing in his book and dramatically narrating the events that happened, then he addresses the audience and asks how Jeanne's conflict with Shirou will go, and what role Sieg will play. In Episode 21, an injured Astolfo comes to and muses over his surroundings, which is engulfed in flames. Achilles appears before Astolfo, entrusting one of his Noble Phantasms to him as part of a dying Chiron's wish. In Episode 22, Jeanne attempts to engage Semiramis, who sends her off to confront Shakespeare instead, as she anticipates the arrival of a few guests. In the final episode, Jeanne walks in complete darkness until she encounters Sieg in his dragon form, who reverts to his original form after she reaches out to him. As they look up to the night sky, Jeanne delivers a Love Confession to Sieg.

Fate/Apocrypha / int_5663a595	type	Adaptation-Induced Plot Hole
Fate/Apocrypha / int_5663a595	comment	Adaptation-Induced Plot Hole: A fairly significant detail is omitted in the anime adaptation during the fight between Sieg and Karna towards the end of the series. In the light novel, it is revealed Sieg is passively using Fran's Galvanize skill to absorb nearby mana, allowing him to spam Siegfried's Balmung to counter Karna's power. The anime adaption does not alluded, or even mention this detail, causing Sieg to randomly gain enough power to spam Balmung despite it begin presented before as difficult for him to use. The anime also causes another one with regards to Astolfo and Achilles in the finale, though a casual viewer would likely not notice. Achilles is able to give Astolfo his Noble Phantasm, Akhilleus Kosmos, because of a specific part of both of their legends interacting in a way only they could: Achilles is known for giving away Noble Phantasms, while Astolfo is known for receiving them. Essentially, their legends created a unique situation only they could do, justifying Astolfo's ability to use it. The anime never references this, instead simply having Achilles tell Astolfo that even though it's not technically "his" Noble Phantasm, Astolfo can still use it as long as he knows and calls its True Name, which to anyone not versed enough in the lore to know otherwise would be understandable. The anime adaptation shows the Knights of the Round Table with their designs from Fate/Grand Order, which is fine, except that Bedivere's design is the exact same as it was in Grand Order, which shouldn't be possible since Bedivere's design includes Airgetlám, which was actually Excalibur sealed onto him by Merlin when he washed onto the shores of Avalon, which was the major story factor of the Camelot singularity. This is notable because Bedivere's design originally comes from the Fate/stay night, where he had the look Grand Order used, but without Airgetlám. The Material book for Lord El-Melloi II Case Files (which had a similar mistake when an image of Bedivere appeared in one volume) would later Hand Wave this by saying that Bedivere had a prosthetic arm that he wore for ceremonies and when Airgetlám was made it was based on the prosthetic's design.

The remaining vengeful spirits would then possess her through her arm, whispering dark thoughts that drove her to madness as she returned and recuperate to her wounds in the Hanging Garden, but rather than exorcising it, despite being capable of such, Atalanta decided to keep it and it drove her further to insanity, since she considered her inability to save the children a sin, and the curse was her punishment.

Fate/Apocrypha / int_822e1ae7	comment	One could also argue that, by definition, the Ruler class fits this trope and has a rare (in-universe) Lawful Neutral flavor. Rulers are Heroic Spirits who must not possess a wish for the Holy Grail and are summoned by the Grail to ensure both Factions will follow the Holy Grail War's rules. To do so, the Ruler is granted with endless Command Spells (to cast on disobeying Servants or gift to temporarily allied Masters) and superior magical progress so to speak (to, again, subdue rebellious Servants). This means the Ruler will back whoever plays by the rules regardless of morality, Faction, or strength level. This Servant might very well help a couple of Masters from one Faction to get rid of another Master from the same Faction which ends up happening at the end of season one when Darnic fuses with Black Lancer and his very existence threatens to rope the entire world into the war. Or even force a ceasefire between the factions.

Fate/Apocrypha / int_8712e4c9	comment	Story-Breaker Power: In the second volume, we see the true extent of just how overpowered Karna can be: despite the story going to great lengths to describe just how powerful Vlad III had become thanks to the Holy Grail War's location and his own Demonic Defender of the State Noble Phantasm, Karna was still able to overpower Vlad III for the majority of their match without bothering to use Brahmastra or Vasavi Shakti. Even when Vlad III bypassed the effects of Karna's legendary armour by skewering him from the inside of his body, Karna merely shrugged it off and incinerated the stakes that were within his body. Had Karna uses his Brahmastra there, Vlad would have been incinerated. Vlad III's vampire form also demonstrates this trope, where it is shown that he is able to take on six Servants at the same time—including the aforementioned Karna. This is despite the fact that Vlad III had just lost his double-layered Home Field Advantage and that the six Servants were empowered by Jeanne herself. One can only imagine how powerful Vlad III's vampire form might have been had he retained both layers of his Home Field Advantage.

The Red Faction's pair because as per his Servant's suggestion of something being fishy with the Red Faction's contact, the Master decided to act independently. When their suspicions were confirmed, the pair temporarily joined the Black Faction. The Black Faction's pair, on the other hand, is a Wild Card because the Master-to-be failed to understand his Servant's nature and, as a result, it backfired on him. Hence, the Servant getting a new Master who doesn't align with the Black Faction's interests nor intends to join either Faction and freely attacks everyone who gets in their way. One could also argue that, by definition, the Ruler class fits this trope and has a rare (in-universe) Lawful Neutral flavor. Rulers are Heroic Spirits who must not possess a wish for the Holy Grail and are summoned by the Grail to ensure both Factions will follow the Holy Grail War's rules. To do so, the Ruler is granted with endless Command Spells (to cast on disobeying Servants or gift to temporarily allied Masters) and superior magical progress so to speak (to, again, subdue rebellious Servants). This means the Ruler will back whoever plays by the rules regardless of morality, Faction, or strength level. This Servant might very well help a couple of Masters from one Faction to get rid of another Master from the same Faction which ends up happening at the end of season one when Darnic fuses with Black Lancer and his very existence threatens to rope the entire world into the war. Or even force a ceasefire between the factions.

This is because later on, it is revealed that the Siegfried she is fighting is not the real one, but a homunculus that has copied his appearance and abilities to a limited extent. If you look closely, Sieg's command seals◊ are shaped in the form of a dragon reflecting his power from Siegfried. Later on, he himself transforms into Fafnir in order to carry the Greater Grail to the Far Side of the World.

Second, the skill must be activated during night time. Third, there needs to be a dense enough mist covering the vicinity, although she has a secondary Noble Phantasm that can assist with this aspect. Caster of Red is also capable of this through First Folio, although it only works against opponents that are weaker than him. Considering that his stats are abysmal compared to other Servants, it is unlikely that this would work against any of the Servants from the Black Faction. Lancer of Red possesses an Anti-God Phantasm that will most certainly kill any Servant that becomes a target of it. However, it can only be used once, and he must permanently sacrifice his armour of invincibility in order to activate it.

If it does, Karna is Story-Breaker Power incarnate. Considering that the armor was best known for granting immortality, the odds are in Karna's favour.

Then he forgot about Aphrodite, and it led to Atalanta getting cursed into a lion.

Fate/Apocrypha / int_bdc94cd9	type	Compressed Adaptation
Fate/Apocrypha / int_bdc94cd9	comment	Compressed Adaptation: A lot of content from the light novels, especially regarding the Red Faction, was Adapted Out to fit the anime's 25 episodes. Two examples are flashbacks explaining the relationship between Achilles and Atalanta. The first explains that Achilles idolized Atalanta through stories of his father Peleus. The second shows Achilles' battle with Penthesilea, which ended with her rage over Achilles calling her beautiful resulting in a Dying Curse, where Achilles would one day kill someone dear to him using the same spear he used against Penthesilea—a prophecy that comes true when Achilles has to kill Atalanta. There was also a cut scene that would've resulted a cameo of Arjuna (and Duryodhana, who hasn't made an appearance in any other Fate works), when Karna took a bath after looking at the drugged original Masters and compared his promised battle with Siegfried to his rivalry with his brother. In addition, Atalanta had a lot more of her scenes cut out or replaced with something shorter which could give different meanings. Amongst the modified scenes include witnessing a hellish nightmare after Jack's death, which was similar to what Sieg witnessed, but far worse; instead of recalling her past with Medea (Most of these were just alluded briefly in the anime during her final battle with Jeanne where she declared that the world she came into was not the kind of ideal world she wanted). The remaining vengeful spirits would then possess her through her arm, whispering dark thoughts that drove her to madness as she returned and recuperate to her wounds in the Hanging Garden, but rather than exorcising it, despite being capable of such, Atalanta decided to keep it and it drove her further to insanity, since she considered her inability to save the children a sin, and the curse was her punishment. Unrelated to the Red faction, the light novel also had the occasional Meanwhile Scene back in London where Lord El-Melloi II and others at the Clock Tower would discuss what they heard was going on in the war. One of these scenes in particular is notable for being the debut of Reines El-Melloi Archisorte, who is only a minor character here but would go on to be one of the main protagonists of Lord El-Melloi II Case Files. All of these Clock Tower scenes were cut from the anime, but fortunately the manga kept them.

In the light novel, Achilles was the one crying to show his sorrow and support at Atalanta's Tragic Dream, which brought peace to her mind, and they vanished in the same time. In the anime, Atalanta was the one crying over how she let herself fall into madness and despair over her seemingly impossible dream while wondering if she took the right path at all, and she vanished first after sadly telling Achilles that while he was an idiot to throw away his life to try and save her from madness, she was still touched by it. Achilles then watched her fade away and monologued about how he found her dream beautiful and worth supporting before vanishing himself.

Fate/Apocrypha / int_e5fd8bc2	comment	Hate Sink: Present or past, there are a few characters that was designed so you just can hate them without regrets: Present day, Astolfo's first Master, Celenike Icecolle Yggdmillennia, a seriously depraved Master who spent her free time killing people and delights in seeing the suffering of people, and in particular just makes it her mission to violate Astolfo in more than one way possible. While the Black faction could be pretty nasty and led by an ex-Nazi collaborator, Celenike stands out to be seriously demonic, even for the franchise standards, despite her short-lived time. Past days, there are actually two: The first is Dr. Victor Frankenstein, the creator of Berserker of Black. He's made to be even more despicable than his novel counterpart, considering that he is shown to be more actively abusive towards Fran and made her life miserable in the past, when Fran saw him being kind in Shakespeare's First Folio, she knew that something was horribly wrong because he's usually very hateful on her despite her love for him. This is even before Fate/Grand Order makes him worse. The second is the King of Arcadia, Atalanta's father. While he never appeared on-screen, his only existence is to show how miserable Atalanta's past was: He discarded her to die in the wild the moment he found out that she's a girl and he wanted a boy. And then he only came back when Atalanta gained enough fame from the Calydonian Hunt and saw her only as a tool to boost his own ego, telling her to marry someone so he could have an awesome heir and overriding Atalanta's protests because he's the King. This led to a chain of events where Atalanta held a footrace contest for her marriage and killing those who lost (this is one event that marks her as 'Evil' alignment-wise), and then losing to Hippomenes due to a cheat and then getting turned to a lion by the Greek Gods. Losing an heir aside, the King gets away scot-free.

Fate/Apocrypha / int_e8e0a952	comment	Obvious Beta: Looking over the various half-finished and hilariously broken Servants listed, it's clear that this was a project that was abandoned halfway through development. The Light Novel has taken some steps to remove this by replacing or altering characters or skills.

Fate/Apocrypha / int_eb81c601	comment	Played straight with the clash of Karna's Vasavi Shakti and Sieg's Command Spell-enhanced Balmung. In this case, however, it's all Sieg can do just to maintain a stalemate with the god-slaying weapon, and Sieg only survives when Astolfo shows up with Achilles' final Noble Phantasm to absorb Karna's attack.

Fate/Apocrypha / int_edf68f1a	comment	Flash Forward: The novel begins with a battle between Red Saber (Mordred) and Black Saber (Siegfried), something that has yet to actually happen by the end of the book. It later turns out that the Homunculus was the one fighting Mordred, and that the real Siegfried had died by that point.

Fate/Apocrypha / int_efacc623	comment	Drama-Preserving Handicap: Shakespeare can One-Hit KO anyone whose parameters are lower than his, which would be much more impressive if he wasn't the weakest Servant in the war. Karna rivals Gilgamesh for the title of strongest Servant period, but his absurd mana consumption can kill his master instantly if he uses his full capabilities. Thus, he only does so during his final battle with Sieg, as he resolves to show nothing less than his best against the one he deems a Worthy Opponent.

Fate/Apocrypha / int_f2d2ce49	comment	As with most of the franchise, Fate/Apocrypha features a Saber that references Arturia. In this case, Mordred, Arturia's son (actually daughter) makes an appearance as one of the Sabers. Jeanne d'Arc, who Arturia was compared to in both Fate/stay night and Fate/Zero, is also present.

Fate/Apocrypha / int_f786350a	comment	Two examples are flashbacks explaining the relationship between Achilles and Atalanta. The first explains that Achilles idolized Atalanta through stories of his father Peleus. The second shows Achilles' battle with Penthesilea, which ended with her rage over Achilles calling her beautiful resulting in a Dying Curse, where Achilles would one day kill someone dear to him using the same spear he used against Penthesilea—a prophecy that comes true when Achilles has to kill Atalanta. There was also a cut scene that would've resulted a cameo of Arjuna (and Duryodhana, who hasn't made an appearance in any other Fate works), when Karna took a bath after looking at the drugged original Masters and compared his promised battle with Siegfried to his rivalry with his brother.

Fate/Apocrypha / int_ffad4e9f	type	Shown Their Work
Fate/Apocrypha / int_ffad4e9f	comment	Shown Their Work: Berserker of Black getting annoyed when people refer to her as "Frankenstein" makes sense when one remembers that technically she's only known as "Frankenstein's monster" and the name is actually her creator's; also, considering their falling out it makes sense she would hate being associated with him anymore than necessary. The fact that she's been Gender Flipped aside, her cute appearance is also more accurate to the original novel: apart from his eye color and a general unnerving nature about his appearance, the monster is described as physically attractive, intelligent, and articulate, a stark contrast to Boris Karloff's iconic groans and "green brick" look. In the anime, Trifas is extremely accurate to Sighișoara, the town it's based on—down to the interiors of public buses, even. The brand of cigarettes that Kairi smokes, "Dragon Smoke", are also smoked by Touko Aozaki and Natalia Kaminski.
