Line 12:
*** It's mentioned, however, that Taiga and Issei (and similar NPCs, presumably) are different from the standard NPCs which are randomly chosen to fill the roles needed during the War. It's possible that these special NPCs are in fact retained with either their memories of the Wars or at least with knowledge that they were there, and just re-used when the next tournament comes around.
 
== Moon Cell is an attempt to escape [[The End of the World Asas We Know It|Program Number Six]]. ==
When "the disaster" occurred; it took the opportunity to absorb all the prana from the world to begin "animating" its backup records. It's copying the existence of Earth so that when the end comes, a type of Earth will still exist for backup purposes.
* Unlike Dust of Osirus, it's more than just a record; it's interactive. After Program Six hits; someone will use the Moon Cell's function to "reboot" Earth.. This is the original function that the Grail War created a back door into.

== This particular Archer EMIYA was adopted by a Kiritsugu still in Magus Killer mode. ==
According to Extra, [[The Magic Goes Away]] during the 1970s; [[Fate Stay Night|Fate/Staystay Nightnight]] happened in the 90s, placing [[Fate Zero|Fate/Zero]] in the eighties at the latest since Stay/Night occurred ten years after the previous Grail War. It's not implausible that Kiritsgusu would have been a 'hitman' regardless, he just shifted his focus to the Western European Plutocracy that would have taken the place of magi as the threat oppressing/misusing Mankind. Prior to becoming Archer, [http://typemoon.wikia.com/wiki/File:Extraarcher.png Shirou] was not only affected by overuse of thaumaturgy, his hair white and his eyes graying, but is depicted with a scoped sniper rifle not unlike those used by Kiritsugu in [[Fate Zero|Fate/Zero]]. With a more hostile world climate than that of the 'original' timeline, the prevalence of orphans would not be unlikely: Dialogue about the real world indicate it was in a state of open war thirty years prior, most tellingly in Twice's flashbacks and Alice's mention about men with tanks and guns and metal helmets. The-boy-would-be-Shirou was orphaned and adopted by Kiritsugu as before, only instead of it being a result of the Fuyuki Fire it was the kind of instability and conflict you'd expect from a world at war.
 
Unlike the original timeline, Kiritsugu didn't have the option of teaching Shirou 'useless' lessons or shielding Shirou from his past: Originally Kiritsugu intentionally failed to teach Shirou competitively and hid his past, allowing Shirou to grow up with an idealized version of "heroes." In this timeline, with war very real and threats to the kid tagging along with Kiritsugu a constant, Kiritsugu began actively training Shirou for combat: Not only through what magic could still be used but in straight-up mundane tactics as well, accounting for the depicted rifle and possibly the reference Archer makes about cross-hairs and underhanded tactics (not unlike Kiritsugu's original pragmatic mindset) while bantering with Robin Hood in the elevator. Kiritsugu died but Shirou carried on with his ideals, not just metaphorically like the original Shirou but literally carrying on his mission against the Plutocracy; the similarities between the pre-Archer artwork and [http://typemoon.wikia.com/wiki/File:Rinextra.jpg Extra Rin's] may indicate that they were both indeed part of the rebellion, though it's likely Kiritsugu would have worked with such a group at least nominally since their aims ran parallel. The difference in portrayed daylight - Shirou in daylight with the sun beginning to set, Rin in the evening - could parallel the difference in activity: Rin doesn't look old enough to have been around before or early in the thirty years of peace, so the increase in 'night' portrays the Harway lockdown on their opposition that's occurred since then.
Line 45:
== Saber Bride is the Virgin Mary and Strange Tail Girl is Cthylla, The Daughter of Cthulhu. ==
== [[Shingetsutan Tsukihime|Shiki Tohno]] will have a cameo in ''Fate/EXTRA CCC'' ==
...because if {{spoiler|[[Kara noKarano Kyoukai|Shiki Ryougi]] and Arcueid have cameos in Fate/EXTRA}}, this makes sense. Also, Shiki might ask if he's looking for {{spoiler|Arcueid}} as an inverse of what happened in Fate/EXTRA.
