Fate/Zero	comment	Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })There exists a plane beyond human conception, within which resides the Throne of Heroes. Here, the souls of both famous (and infamous) individuals throughout history are stored and recorded, to be used as eternal guardians of mankind. The definition of "hero" is broad—even the most ruthless and heartless may have benefited the greater good in the end.Centuries ago, three families of mages — the Einzbern, Makiri, and Tohsaka — conducted a dark and bloody ritual; Heaven's Feel, the Holy Grail War of Fuyuki. A battle between seven mages, competing for a chance to wish upon a "Holy Grail", the 726th such artifact branded by The Church. Heroic Spirits from the Throne are summoned and bound to the material world, becoming "Servants" to their summoning "Masters". To keep their true names hidden, the seven Servants are sorted into one of seven Classes: Saber, Archer, Lancer, Rider, Caster, Berserker, and Assassin. In addition, each Servant is armed with the mysteries that symbolize their legend and embody their fame — Noble Phantasms, legendary armaments and abilities.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })As each Servant falls, the Holy Grail receives their power, until only one remains and the Grail is able to manifest in the physical world to grant the winners' wishes.Fate/Zero is the story of the Fourth Holy Grail War.Kiritsugu Emiya grew up wanting to be a hero who could save anyone and everyone... but he learned the hard way that for every person he saved, another had to die. The only way to be a hero was to act for the good of all humanity; to destroy the factor that would destroy even more humans in turn if left unchecked. And if that factor was humanity itself, then he would kill every single one who threatened the peace of another. Despised, feared, branded as a murderer, a contract killer, a hitman — still he goes on, believing that this is the best way to serve humanity.Due to his immense skill, Kiritsugu is adopted by the Einzbern family as an honorary family member. However, the Einzberns' real motive is to send him to Fuyuki City, his old home, to participate in the Fourth Holy Grail War on their behalf. Despite finding love and happiness with his new family — his wife, Irisviel, and their daughter, Ilya — he knows the battle isn't over. As one of the seven Masters, he must return to Japan to obtain the Holy Grail of Fuyuki for the Einzbern family.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); })Fate/Zero is a collaboration, a series of four illustrated novels written by Gen Urobuchi (of nitro+ and Madoka Magica fame) and illustrated by Takashi Takeuchi of Type-Moon, under the direction of Kinoko Nasu. Set in the Nasuverse, it is the prequel to acclaimed Visual Novel Fate/stay night. The first volume was released in December 2006 and the last was released in December 2007. It was first adapted into a Drama CD, with music by ZIZZ Studio (composers for the majority of nitro+ works). A manga adaptation illustrated by Shinjirō was serialized between 2010 and 2017, and a TV series (by ufotable of The Garden of Sinners fame, with music by Yuki Kajiura, and starring the Drama CD cast) aired its first season in Fall 2011 and concluded in Spring 2012.The anime was streamed for free with subtitles in eight different languages by Aniplex on Nico Nico as it aired. The episodes are available on Crunchyroll, in both English audio and Japanese audio with subtitles. The English dub by Aniplex USA, VIZ Media's and Neon Alley service is also currently available on Netflix.Since this is a prequel series to Fate/stay night, expect major Late Arrival Spoilers for that series as well, as Fate/Zero ends with a Foregone Conclusion. You Have Been Warned.

Fate/Zero / int_11cac491	comment	Tragedy: The story is a tragedy which ends up destroying the lives of everyone involved save for Waver Velvet. The opening line warns that Kiritsugu will end up in despair and that his fatal flaw is his belief in an ideal; what follows is build up to the final catharsis when he destroys the Grail and sees the consequences of his actions.

Nothing about Kiritsugu's background, along with Zero's earlier setting in time, would suggest that this also applies to him, but the character sheets are an iconic quirk of the franchise.

Fate/Zero / int_14beeefd	comment	Darker and Edgier: Lampshaded in the authors' notes section, and in commparison with its predecessor, Fate/stay night. While FSN translates the base elements of the original eroge game into its narrative (i.e., two Masters attempting to kill The Protagonist at the outset culminates in their disqualification from the Grail War and in their living with The Protagonist in competition with each other for his love), FZ is a pure plot of support and setup, specifically dealing women and children (of which, in FSN, two of the Masters are both) the worst fates within its narrative.

Fate/Zero / int_14ed6ab7	comment	Does This Remind You of Anything?: The anime version of the scene where Kariya strangles Aoi manages to summon implications of rape by the way of their relative positioning, the way she struggles, putting attention to their ragged breathing, and placing his knee between her legs. His line of "Then I may as well" carries implications of Sex Is Evil, and I Am Horny. The entire subplot between Gilgamesh and Kotomine, in which Gilgamesh attempts to be a Closet Key to get Kotomine to fall prey to his carnal urges. Granted, the closet here turns out to be of morality, but the point is illustrated through the use of metaphorical Sex Is Evil, and I Am Horny undertones.

Also, Kiritsugu Emiya was cursed by the contents of the Holy Grail, which was the ultimate cause of his demise, as it drained his life force slowly but steadily.

Fate/Zero / int_1b65dfad	comment	The Cameo: Caster sees Jeanne d'Arc when he dies, who would go on to play a major role in Fate/Apocrypha. In the anime's first ending sequence, the art of Saber at the Battle of Camlann features her killing her daughter, Mordred. Like Jeanne d'Arc, Mordred was a main character in Fate/Apocrypha. Episode 18 of the anime highlights Kiritsugu's backstory where his childhood friend Shirley inadvertently causes an epidemic of Dead Apostles on their island. Among the responding mages sent by the Mage's Association is fire mage Cornelius Alba. In the last episode of the anime, a high school girl is shown in the background waving a shinai around. That's most likely Taiga Fujimura, a supporting character from Fate/stay night. In the manga version, Irisviel is discussing the Executioners and we are shown a panel with Ciel using Black Keys.

Kariya knows Zouken is a literal monster whose depravity knows no bounds, but due to his mental instability and grudge fails to tell Tokiomi what Zouken is doing to Sakura during their confrontation. As such, Tokiomi dismisses Kariya as nothing more than a raving madman and a pathetic excuse for a mage, blames him for anything bad that might happen to Sakura, and tries to kill him. It doesn't help that Tokiomi also says that he's fine with the possibility of Rin and Sakura fighting each other in the next Grail War.

In the anime, Rin enters their lair, confronts Uryuu, and actually manages to break Caster's hypnosis on the children before going back outside and getting attacked by a monster, where Kariya rescues her as in the book. Rin's successful intervention in the anime means that all the children are rescued and return home; the same can't be said for the book. The anime expands on the flashbacks to Kiritsugu's past, particularly Shirley's relationships with both preteen Kiritsugu and his father.

In the fourth book, Angra Mainyu (in the shape of Irisviel) says this exact thing to him... and this line takes a much darker meaning in this context as it refers to his method of saving people by killing other people, because the tainted Grail's method of granting wishes is likewise destruction and murder.

However, it applies to Waver for the standard reason that he's too busy studying to get any exercise, or at least so he says. He's almost just as weak magically as he is physically, though, which is why he studies like a madman all the time, but he can't use his magical abilities to compensate for being weak, because he basically doesn't have those either!

Fate/Zero / int_3d699462	comment	Curb-Stomp Battle: Tokiomi vs. Kariya is very one-sided. One is a man who has spent a lifetime diligently learning to master the secrets of magic. The other is a runaway who had just one year to prepare with forbidden magecraft implanted in him by his sadistic ancestor that his body can hardly take, and who is too berserk with pain and rage to use even that properly. Tokiomi hardly has to lift a finger to defend against all the swarms of bugs that Kariya can muster, and then send him falling from the roof engulfed in flames. Rider vs. Assassin. Cue Ionioi Hetairoi: Army of the King, and the fight becomes such a ridiculously one-sided slaughter that the author doesn't even bother describing it. Any fight Gilgamesh participates in could be this if he took any of the other servants seriously (not that he has to, seeing as he's easily one of the most powerful things in the Nasuverse, including ORT, Ado Edem and Archetype Earth). It only actually happens, though, when he deems Rider worthy of his judgment and pulls out a couple of stops. Gen Urobuchi says that he could single-handedly end the fourth Holy Grail War in a single night if he bothered to go all-out.

It's mentioned early on that Waver's initial reaction to Rider was a near-Jizzed in My Pants moment, and in general he behaves like a Wet Blanket Wife towards Rider. It's much more overt in the anime, where he's shown blushing at Rider, and is shown waking up in the morning in Episode 13 in a manner akin to Their First Time, all of which have been humorously acknowledged by the animators who describe the two as a boyfriend/girlfriend duo.

Maiya has feelings for Kiritsugu, but acknowledges that Irisviel is the woman he loves. She's still The Mistress, but only because of Kiritsugu's masochistic need to "practice" betraying his wife for the Grail. Caster might count, since his "Jeanne" doesn't respond to his feelings largely because she's not Jeanne. The specifics of Gilles' feelings before Jeanne's death is currently unclear. In the backstory, Kirei's wife Claudia was devoted to a man who was literally incapable of loving her. Kayneth loves Sola-Ui and does whatever he can to make the best of their Arranged Marriage. Sola-Ui becomes obsessed with Lancer, who's summoned as Kayneth's Servant. And if loyalty is a type of love, Lancer rejects Sola-Ui because he's devoted to his Master Kayneth, despite receiving only disdain (at best) in return. Averted with Kiritsugu and Irisviel. Until she dies. In his own arrogant and dark way, Gilgamesh comes to love the idealistically tragic Saber, but she wants nothing to do with someone so cruel and selfish. Unfortunately for Saber, her rejection just makes Gilgamesh want her more; in fact, he views it as part of her appeal.

To Uryuu's displeasure, Caster speaks kindly to the child whose family was murdered for the summoning ritual, telling the boy that he's free to go. The boy gets to the door...and is then grabbed and brutally ripped to pieces by ethereal tentacles. Caster then reveals that he just wanted the boy to experience a Hope Spot, as it makes the realization of their death even more satisfying. Naturally, this establishes Caster as an even worse villain than his summoner.

Played With because, despite these creatures only appearing in those two episodes, the incident is very much Played for Drama because it completely shapes Kiritsugu into The Unfettered battle-hardened mage he is in the present, someone who sees his child self's inability to Mercy Kill Shirley as his greatest failure.

Uryuu and Caster's moments with their victims are the most notable examples, since the most sickening lines in the novels did not make its way to the anime. The Einzbern Consultation Room OVAs, on the other hand, are designed to be sweet moe goodness to counter the very dark and horrifying narrative. Zecchan even somewhat invokes this, saying that they should "pretend all that Urobuchi-style stuff never happened". Fate/Zero itself, while cynical and dark enough to compete with Heaven's Feel, is rather light on the horror elements when compared to its parent work.

Fate/Zero / int_e6630c8b	comment	Gameplay and Story Integration: A strange version, considering that it's not a video game, but the novel still uses the stat sheets found in Fate/stay night. Several of the passive skills and stats listed there have an effect on the plot, such as Saber's "Riding", Lancer's "Eye of the Mind (True)", Rider's "Divinity", Archer's "Independent Action" and Caster's "Mental Pollution".

Fate/Zero / int_e9753023	comment	Aimlessly Seeking Happiness: Kirei's problem is he's been selected as a contestant for the Holy Grail War, and if he wins he gets to wish for whatever he desires. But having lived a passionless life with nothing appealing to him, Kirei doesn't know what would make him happy. It takes him being paired with the indulgent king Gilgamesh, who's tasted every pleasure in life, to awaken Kirei to his subconscious sadism and discover real happiness from witnessing others suffer.

Fate/Zero / int_eb4ee9eb	comment	Guns Are Worthless: Played with. Mages tend to disdain technology and consider it inferior to magic, to the point that they almost never bother defending against it. Kiritsugu exploits this complacency to great effect, using guns, mines, missile launchers, and demolitions to take out his targets. However, Kayneth's liquid metal artifact protects him from Claymore mines, a skyscraper collapsing around him, and automatic fire at point-blank range, while Kirei outright dodges bullets, and when he isn't, he parries them with his Black Keys. Firearms, just like anything non-spiritual, are completely ineffective against Servants.
