Fate stay night/YMMV: Difference between revisions

{{work|page=Fate/stay night}}

* [[Accidental Innuendo]]

** Saber once tells Shirou "you've entered me so many times"... referring, of course, to the fact that he's entered her memories.

** Another good one from Saber, to Shirou: "You were my sheath." {{spoiler|She's discussing the fact that he's a vessel for Excalibur's sheath Avalon, buuuuut...}}

** Lancer's Gae Bolg...or, if you prefer, his "Gay Bulge"

** Depending on route (and adaptation), you're exposed to different sides - and aspects - of certain characters.

** [[Anime]] (2004): Berserker, {{spoiler|Caster, Kuzuki}}, and Gilgamesh.

** ''Heaven's Feel'': Kirei Kotomine. Attempted with [[Complete Monster|Zouken Matou]], but very few (if any) people bought it.

* [[Anticlimax Boss]] - Caster in ''Fate'', Rider in ''Unlimited Blade Works'', Rider's first fight, both of Caster's fights, {{spoiler|Sasaki Kojirou, AKA Fake Assassin}}, normal Berserker and Gilgamesh in ''Heaven's Feel''.

* [[Draco in Leather Pants]]: Gilgamesh can sometimes fall into this, with the fanon portrayals of him that tone down his [[Jerkass]] qualities considerably and put him into a much more positive light, in addition to some who ignore that he quite frankly wants to rape Saber, doesn't care about her consent and seems to even prefer her resistance. At times, his [[Attempted Rape]] of Saber is explained away by being purely ''attempted'' and not being something that succeeded, yet despite that, Shinji is strung up by the fandom for the same action. <ref>Of course, he is (quite rightly) strung up not just for that particular attempt but for his other actions, including successful rape; but this comparison does apply.</ref> One must note that in both the original myth and the game Enkidu originally fought him due to him invoking [[wikipedia:Droit de seigneur|Droit de seigneur]], or the lord's right to a bride's virginity, where the consent of the woman didn't matter, and [[Values Dissonance]] can't be invoked with this because even ''in the original myth'' people thought he was going too far.

** Archer/Rin and Rider/Sakura, anyone?

** ''Rin/Saber.'' Though that's [[Tenchi Solution|kind of canon]] in one ending.

** This also makes Unlimited Blade Works somewhat uncomfortable, when it's revealed how much [[Love Triangle|Sakura didn't want to lose Shirou to Tohsaka]].

** Remember the humorous scenes you can get if you nag Saber for "a super move that can defeat a Servant" during training? In one ending of Heaven's Feel, {{spoiler|Shirou ''actually wins'' against Saber Alter... by using Archer's super move with Kanshou and Bakuya against her.}} Though maybe it's just [[Hilarious in Hindsight]], since that ending is actually really, really [[Crowning Moment of Awesome|awesome.]]

** In the Fate route, Rin half-jokingly speculates that Archer must have been a skirt chaser back when he was alive. Then comes UBW and we discover who he is. {{spoiler|Suffice to say, he didn't chase skirts as much as he was chased by skirts.}}

* [[Memetic Mutation]]

** The aforementioned "People die if they are killed" became a popular meme due to [http://animelololololol.ytmnd.com/ this YTMND].

** ...you lost me.<ref>A riff on Shiro's [[Oblivious to Love|pathetic lack of knowledge concerning sex and all the women who want to have it with him]].</ref>

** You take your pOnOs, and my vagOOO, and...J-J-JAM IT IN!<ref>Saber explaining to Shiro how Servant-Master mana transfer works in a comedic erotic doujin.</ref>

** [[Badass|GAR]] <ref> Came from a post on [[Image Boards|4Chan]] where someone remarked that he was [[Stupid Sexy Flanders|"gay for]] Archer" because of his badassery, only to misspell it as "GAR" instead, and it took off from there.</ref>

* [[Moe]] - Sakura. Oh my god. If {{spoiler|Heaven's Feel}} does not break your heart in to a thousand ''tiny, tiny pieces that are also somehow on fire''... no. Just, no.

* [[Moral Event Horizon]]

** Shirou's [[Bad End]] where {{spoiler|he pragmatically allows Sakura to die to save many people}}, considering [[What the Hell, Hero?|everyone's reactions]], might be an [[In-Universe]] example.

** {{spoiler|Sakura}} does ''not'' cross this, despite killing and devouring hundreds of people, because she does so entirely subconsciously and is unaware that she is doing it. However, when {{spoiler|[[Super-Powered Evil Side|her dark side]] rapes Rin in the last Bad End}}, even ''Shirou'' ({{spoiler|who has sacrificed everything for her}}) realises that she's too far gone to be saved.

** Shinji carries some of the responsibility for Gil's actions as well.

* [[MST3K Mantra]] - This is essential for any of the hardcore fans who are addicted to the intricacies of canon to enjoy the movie at all. Never mind the {{spoiler|complete excising of Shirou and Rin's opposition}}, for instance, just focus on the epic action scenes.

* [[Player Punch]]

** Heaven's Feel has six simple words: "Save Saber"/"{{spoiler|Bring the knife down}}." Guess which one is the right choice.
