Line 4:
* [[Alas, Poor Scrappy]]: {{spoiler|Tokiomi}}'s smugness, alien worldview and ineffectual scheming rubbed a lot of fans the wrong way, but his death {{spoiler|at the hands of Kirei, his trusted disciple}} shortly after a [[Pet the Dog]] moment with {{spoiler|his daughter and wife}} redeemed him in the eyes of some fans. The betrayed, terrified look on his face {{spoiler|which his former Servant goes on to describe as "pathetic"}} helps.
* [[Alas, Poor Villain]]: {{spoiler|Ryuunosuke}}'s death in the anime is very different from his quick and brief one in the novel for this reason. {{spoiler|Kayneth}}'s death could count based on your definition of "villain" {{spoiler|but he ''did'' kill Risei}}.
* [[And the Fandom Rejoiced]] - ''Fate/zero'' anime? ''That's not by [[Studio DEEN|DEEN]]??'' '''''And to be made by [[
** [[Yuki Kajiura]] is doing the soundtrack. There are no words for how awesome this is.
** In short, it's getting ''[[
* [[Base Breaker]] - Kiritsugu is quite controversial character among the fandom.
* [[Crazy Awesome]] - Rider, who uses his Noble Phantasm to pop over to Saber's place for a drink. When they are surrounded by Assassins, he calmly invites them to sit down and drink with them.
Line 14:
* [[Crowning Moment of Awesome]] - ''“The King is never lonesome! For his wishes are our wishes!”''
* [[Crowning Music of Awesome]] - [[Yuki Kajiura]] is doing the score for the anime. Nothing more need be said.
* [[Double Standard]]: Sola-Ui's actions of being a [[Stalker
* [[Draco in Leather Pants]]
** Gilgamesh, unsurprising since this also applies to his original incarnation.
Line 22:
** Kariya is ''absolutely adored'' in both Japan and the West. But especially Japan.
** Ryuunosuke is impressively popular for a homicidal sadist. Apparently, he is loved by the female staff members of [[Ufotable]].
* [[Fan Dumb]] - The influx of new fans that the anime has ushered in have the unfortunate habit of bashing [[Fate/stay
* [[Fan-Preferred Couple]] - If [[Pixiv]] is any indication, Saber x Lancer is fairly popular.
** Saber x Gilgamesh is also rather common.
Line 30:
* [[Fridge Brilliance]] - Iskander's {{spoiler|death scene mirrors his life as explained in the flashback. Carrying on towards a goal he fails to reach, endlessly pushing forward, while everyone behind him lies dying.}}
** The episode featuring {{spoiler|his death}} will air on June 10th, {{spoiler|the date of his historical death}}
* [[Harsher in Hindsight]] - ''Kiritsugu Emiya'': "Even if I am to carry ‘all the evils of this world’ – it won’t matter. If that can save the world, then I’d gladly accept it.” {{spoiler|''[[Fate/stay
** On a similar note, the narration for Kiritsugu's death, seen from Shirou's point of view in [[Fate/stay
** Also, the episode where {{spoiler|Kiritsugu was forced to kill Natalia}}, whom he considered a surrogate mother, aired just a few days before ''Mother's Day''.
** Kiritsugu and Irisviel's final meeting manages to do this ''thrice'' in rapid succession. Irisviel wishes for Ilya to come see Japan someday (she does...as another Einzbern tool of war doomed to die), for her to see the cherry blossoms (which can be seen as a reference to the [[Tragic Dream]] in Heaven's Feel route) and the summer clouds (Shirou staring at the summer clouds while thinking about his loss and about how his life changed is a scene people might remember from the epilogue of Fate route).
Line 48:
** WAGA ARU G <ref> Lancer consistently refers to Kayneth with "''waga aruji''", or "milord".</ref>
** Being Lancer is suffering.<ref> There is a perception in the fandom that Lancers tend to meet terrible ends.</ref>
** [[Nico Nico Douga]] seems very fond of [http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=endscreen&NR=1&v=lSvOmu_ezbo remixing Kayneth's dialogue], mostly to make fun of his [[C
** Team [[Netorare Genre|NTR]] <ref> A [[Fan Nickname]] for team Kayneth, referring to how Sola-ui falls in love with Lancer.</ref>
*** In the same vein, other [[Fan Nickname|Fan Nicknames]] for the teams include Team Cool (Caster and Ryuunosuke) and Team Yuetsu ({{spoiler|Kirei and Gilgamesh}}); see below for explanations.
