As nightmare inducing as ''[[Fate/stay night|Fate Stay Night]]'' [[Fate/stay night/Nightmare Fuel|is]], there are '''reasons''' why ''[[Fate/Zero]]'' is considered [[Darker and Edgier]].

Line 15:
* Episode 16: There's something extremely unsettling about watching {{spoiler|Lancer's complete meltdown as he dies with his honor completely crushed, raving madly at everyone present}}.
** {{spoiler|Those orange eyes pouring blood... There's nothing worse (or sadder) than seeing Lancer cursing the world with that expression...}}
** If you want to take things a step further, there's what became of Kayneth and Sola seconds after that. Maybe not "scary" nightmare fuel, but it is... hauntingly tragic and heart breaking. {{spoiler|Seriously. If NOTHING in episode 16 affected you in some sad way, then you are either dead inside or [[Complete Monster|Kirei Kotomine]].}}
* Episode 22: First, it is extremely unsettling to see {{spoiler|Kirei [[Incredibly Lame Pun|snap]] at Irisviel because he can't stand an [[Artificial Human]] with genuine feelings, when he, a genuine human, can't feel nor comprehend real emotions...}}
** {{spoiler|Then ... your emotions are jarred between incomprehension with mild horror as "Irisviel" watches herself and a cluster of Einzbern homonculi piled up on top of each other, then feeling yourself go [[Tear Jerker|DAWWW over Ilya making an horrible nightmare of what might await her]] since [[Hive Mind|Einzbern homonculi designed for the Grail War share a common consciousness]]... then further horror as this scene falls to black ashes, meaning Irisviel's mind is literally falling apart, before revealing once more the pile of clones all staring towards the screen with a broken and empty look... before [[The Corruption|Angra Mainyu]] takes over oneher image and [[Slasher Smile|thoroughly corrupts ither appearance in a twisted, horrifying smile.]]}} This troper could not bring himself to re-open the video file for another ten minutes after witnessing that and failing his SANSANITY saving throw. Even when KNOWING what was awaiting. God damn nice job, ufotable.
*** {{spoiler|And then, Irisviel having a full [[Paint It Black|black makeup]] [[Evil Makeover]] and coming to a [[Heel Realization|realization]] that... not only is she dead and "something" has taken over her mind, but if she is inside the Grail, then it means... [[The End of the World as We Know It|the end is near]]. CREEPY SMILE IS CREEPY I WILL NEVER SLEEP AGAIN}}
*** This actually feels like a [[Shout-Out]] to "that scene" in Episode 23 of [[Neon Genesis Evangelion]], only done better. Much "better", for very scary values of "better", since they actually made Irisviel completely out of the [[Uncanny Valley]]
