The [[Ordinary High School Student|Ordinary Elementary School Student]] Illya lives together with her older brother Shirou and her two Guardians. She is a good sprinter and enjoys watching [[Magical Girl]] anime. One day while she is bathing, she ponders about being a [[Magical Girl]] herself, flying around with magic, [[Big Brother Attraction|seducing her brother]], then suddenly...

Her brother comes into the bath... and is knocked out by a talking [[Magic Wand]], which introduces itself as "Magical Ruby-chan". Through a combination of sweet-talking, lies, and brute force, it tricks Illya into signing a contract with it and turns her against her will into a [[Magical Girl]]. To make it worse, she is beaten by the former master of Ruby, Rin Tohsaka, who has come to collect the wand, only to find out that Illya's contract cannot be canceled without Ruby's consent. Unable to reclaim Ruby, Rin instead forces Illya to become her servant, who shall help her to collect the 'Class Cards': seven mysterious cards which possess the power to summon the spirits of legendary heroes, and which are currently running wild in Ilya's home town...

 

 

----

* [[Affectionate Parody]]

* {{spoiler|[[Alternate Universe]]: The Einzberns never asked for help from the Tohsaka and the Makiri to create Heaven's Feel, meaning there never WAS a Holy Grail War system as we know it, and eventually vanished, leaving not even a memory of them. The Cards Illya collects are the actual 'templates' used to summon the Servants.}}

** And now, [[Badass|Bazette]] is looking for the class card. The current result: {{spoiler|Luvia's mansion destroyed, Luvia is seriously injured, and Bazette reveals that she won't hesitate to pull punches, including to Illya and Kuro.}} [[Oh Crap]].

** To make it worse, it shown that like in [[Fate Unlimited Codes]], Bazette is having [[Counter Attack|Fragarach]] as her trump card. [[Curb Stomp Battle|Anybody playing the game]] [[One-Hit Kill|knows how it ends.]]

* [[Catgirl]]: Rin when transformed with Kaleido Ruby. Luvia also becomes a "Dog Girl" when transformed with Kaleido Sapphire.

* [[Clap Your Hands If You Believe]]: Magic. Ilya can fly because she thinks she can, and Miyu can't because she keeps getting distracted by the laws of physics.

** And now {{spoiler|we have what Bazett does to Luvia, Kuro, Illya, and Miyu.}}

* [[Cuteness Proximity]]: Ilya goes... a little crazy around maids.

* [[Dark Magical Girl]]: Averted! It only ''looks'' like Miyu Edelfelt is this. She's definitely Ilya's counterpart, and she's working on behaft of Rin's [[The Rival|Rival]] but it turns out she's [[The Spock]].

** Kuro plays this straight. {{spoiler|Complete with [[Heel Face Turn]].}}

* [[Dr. Jerk]]: Caren Ortensia cameos as the school nurse, where she has a tendency to consider patient's injuries 'boring' and ask they get hurt much more badly next time they come to see her.

** To add insult to non-injury, the often tells visitors to get lost because "healthy people make her sick."

* [[Don't Try This At Home]]: While Ilya's team was wrapping up their [[Cloudcuckoolander]] team member to prevent her from screwing up their cake

* [[Double Knockout]]: Ilya and Kuro's dodgeball match.

* [[Dynamic Entry]]: Ilya seems to be fond of these at the ends of arcs.

* [[Empathic Weapon]]: Kaleido Ruby and Kaleido Sapphire are the [[Boke and Tsukkomi Routine|Laurel And Hardy]] of [[Magical Girl]] weapons.

* [[Erotic Dream]]: Ilya has one about [[Brother-Sister Incest|Shirou]] which leads to her [[Les Yay|kissing Miyu]] while she's still half-asleep. And then just [[Crowning Moment of Funny|digging herself in deeper]].

* [[Everyone Is Related]]: One page indicates that {{spoiler|Miyu, Rin and Luvia know who Shirou is (even though they didn't know Ilya.) And he looks like Miyu's brother.}}

* [[Evil Twin]]: {{spoiler|Kuro from the second season, a dark-skinned version of Ilya with Archer's powers. So far, her only defined goals seem to be to kill Ilya... and to put the moves on all of Ilya's suppressed love interests.}}

** "Thanks for the treat!"

*** She then proceeds to do this to ''every female in Illya's class''.

* [[Invisible to Normals]]: Averted. When some of the girls from school first see Ilya transformed, they recognize her instantly and assume she's doing some bizarre cosplay. {{spoiler|Of course, they might have been somewhat distracted by the fact there were [[Evil Twin|two of her]]...}}

* [[Lampshade Hanging]]: A side-effect of Ilya's [[Genre Savvy]] is that when she spots [[Magical Girl]] tropes at work, she tends to point them out. The biggest example, of course, would be Miyu's [[New Transfer Student]] status.

* [[Les Yay]]: Miyu develops a pretty obvious crush on Ilya, who ([[I Didn't Mean to Turn You On|apparently unintentionally]]) doesn't do a whole lot to discourage it.

** [[I Want My Beloved to Be Happy]]: Miyu gives Ilya a day-pass on being a magical girl, and takes on the final card alone, just to spare Ilya. This plot unfolds [[Achilles in His Tent|exactly as it always does of course]].

* [[Make a Wish]]: {{spoiler|The Grail Conduit's power. The solution to a Wish Maker who wants to be normal? Wish to be normal!}}

* [[Magic Skirt]]: In the first season.

* [[Mysterious Past]]: There is...something sealed inside Ilya, that her maids know about. A vast power that goes way beyond "[[Magical Girl]]" and that the recent nonsense seems to be waking up. When she remembers pieces about it, she tries to go back to forgetting.

** Miyu also is a "something." It's mentioned that she required an [[Undead Tax Exemption]]; and like Illya; she can manifest cards within herself. Kaleido Ruby comments that if Miyu had used her true power in their initial sparring, Illya would have been creamed. It then asks if Illya knows just what Miyu is.

** Rin starts out with the class card for Archer, her Servant from the game. Her rival, Luvia, starts out with Lancer's, Archer's most common rival.

** Rin and Ilya inverting the famous 'Are you my master?' scene, with the standing figure ''ordering'' the sitting one to be her ''slave''.

** Rider is the first Servant to be defeated on-screen. As usual.

** The "I will 'go home' from Rin's letter.

** Recent chapters have shown characters from Fate/Zero and HA popping up left and right. Caren Ortensia is the nurse at Illya's school. And in a blink and you'll miss it shout out to her character, when Illya is injured in one chapter, her maids barge into the nurse's office, dragging Shiro along with them. In the very next panel, Shiro is wrapped in a cloth and dangling from the ceiling while Caren scolds the group, wondering "why just me." This is especially funny when you realize that this is the Cloth of Magdala, her primary weapon in HA, which has the power to forcefully bind men.

** {{spoiler|Kuro's treatment of Ilya is extremely similar to Archer's treatment of Shirou in the original Fate/Stay Night. Bonus points for the fact that Kuro is essentially the Archer card given form.}}

*** It goes even further. {{spoiler|Archer was future Shirou who overcame his supposed limitations, was given form by the Holy Grail, and required prana to sustain himself; he counted on being erased out of existence by killing his past self. Kuro is Ilya who overcame the supposed limitations of cards (she has the Archer card permanently active) and only came to exist when Ilya's wishes backfired because of her limits, given physical body by Ilya (whose latent magical power comes from the fact that she is the Holy Grail's vessel), and whose existence requires prana not to disappear into nothing; she is also incapable of killing Ilya without supposedly dying herself.}}

** That is a misunderstanding, it was not 100 m, but the standard 50 m at japanese schools. Keep in mind that this is still world class olympic sprinting.

* [[Schmuck Bait]]: While looking at job ads, Rin gets a little too blinded by one position's absurd pay rate to notice that the job requirements are so specific that really ''only she'' could possibly fill them. Congratulations, Rin-san... you are now Luvia's personal maid.

* [[Serious Business]]: Ilya vs. {{spoiler|Kuro}} in an epic, life-or-death, magically powered... game of dodgeball.

** Sella gets ''really intense'' about weight loss.

** And now 2Wei Chapter 12 brings us ''Epic Cake-baking''.

** Epic food judging too.

** Take a look at the 'wild dogs' in [http://www.mangafox.com/manga/fate_kaleid_liner_prisma_illya_2wei/v01/c002.1/6.html this image]. One of them in [[Tsukihime|particular]]...

** At one point, Kaleido Ruby suggests they 'explore' an alternate dimension by 'reducing it to nothing with a [[Lyrical Nanoha|'Lyrical Grade']] magical blast'.

*** The way that Ilya solves the issue that same chapter is probably a Nanoha reference as well: {{spoiler|as she proceeds to kill all of True Assassin's incarnations at once, as mentioned above, with a Nanoha-style 'level everything at once' blast. Starlight Breaker on steroids.}}

*** In ch 9.5, Karen-sensei is showing putting sugar into green tea. SIX of them. At least unlike Lindy, she didn't put milk in it....

** The Crossover with ''Nanoha'' features Ruby using a [[Dragonball Z|scouter]] to measure, basically, Illya's tendency to freak out over cute stuff.

* [[Sink or Swim Mentor]]: So Miyu has a mental block against flight that she really needs to get over. What's the most sensible way to go about it? Well, if you're Luvia, the obvious answer is 'throw her out of a moving helicopter'!

* [[Skinship Grope]]: Pops up a few times, including one awkward example wherein Illya gets felt up in the bath by her ''mother''.

* [[The Spock]]: Miyu's weakness, a lack of imagination in a world where this powers up your magic.

* [[Sugar and Ice Personality]]: If not [[Dandere]], the series itself acknowledges this regarding Miyu for Ilya.

** Illya's classmates note with dismay that Ilya is the ''only'' person Miyu is 'dere' for. "You unlocked the Miyu route!"

** This is also done to {{spoiler|Bazette; who is only temporarily phased. She figures she can still beat them to an inch of their lives and endure the backlash.}}

** Given that {{spoiler|Kuro}} also ''feels'' anything that {{spoiler|Ilya}} does, [[Fridge Logic|shouldn't that cause...interesting effects during the Intimate Healing]]?

* [[Tsundere]]: Alternate universe or no, Rin is still Rin. And to make things worse, Ilya is almost completely incapable of bringing out her deredere side.

** And Sella, although she seems to reserve her 'dere' for Ilya exclusively. Poor Shirou in particular gets an almost unending stream of hostility.
