Line 1:
{{work|page=Fate/stay night}}
* [[Accidental Innuendo]]
** "I've shown you mine, so the least you can do is show me yours" and "I am the bone of my sword."
** 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"
* [[Alas, Poor Villain]]:
** Depending on route (and adaptation), you're exposed to different sides - and aspects - of certain characters.
** [[Anime]] (2004): Berserker, {{spoiler|Caster, Kuzuki}}, and Gilgamesh.
Line 11:
** ''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''.
* [[Complete Monster]] -
**Zouken [[Complete Monster]] - ZoukenMatou. {{spoiler|Just look what this scumbag does to poor Sakura. Also, he's partially to blame for Shinji being the asshole he is. Plus [[A Million Is a Statistic|he has also killed many thousands of innocent people in order to remain alive]], and is willing to risk destroying the whole town, or maybe even the entire ''world'', to obtain his goal}}.
** Gilgamesh, ironically named the "King of Heroes". After manipulating Kirei Kotomina in ''Fate/Zero'' into embracing his villainy he abandons any redeeming qualities and decides that humanity had grown "without purpose" and intends to use the grail to destroy most of the world so he may rule over the survivors. Brutally murdering Illya in ''Unlimited Blade Works'' before painfully turning Shinji into a host for the Grail, everything a hero shouldn't be, Gilgamesh is a sadistic hedonist defined by his ego and sense of entitlement to the fate of the world itself.
* [[Crowning Music of Awesome]] - [[Fate/stay night/Awesome Music|Has its own page.]]
* [[Deconstruction Fic]] - [[I Put On My Robe and Wizard Hat]] is one example.
Line 24 ⟶ 26:
** 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.]]
* [[Hilarious in Hindsight]] - Shirou is a somewhat dim man with red hair who is obsessed with swords. [[8-Bit Theater (Webcomic)|Sound familiar?]]
** 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.}}
** In the Tiger Dojo #21, Ilya says to Taiga that she (and Rin) are the only characters with enough age to be [[Magical Girl|Magical Girls]]. A few years later... hello, [[Fate/hollow ataraxia|Kaleido Ruby]] and [[Fate/kaleid liner Prisma Illya|Prisma Ilya]].
* [[Holy Shit Quotient]]: Very, '''very''' high. Alternate title for [[Fate/stay night]] - [[Holy Shit Quotient]]: The Game
* [[Magnificent Bastard]] - Kotomine
* [[Memetic Mutation]]
** The aforementioned "People die if they are killed" became a popular meme due to [http://animelololololol.ytmnd.com/ this YTMND].
Line 35 ⟶ 37:
** Being Lancer is suffering.<ref>A reference to the "Being meguca is suffering" meme from ''[[Puella Magi Madoka Magica]]'' and the fact that neither [[Fate/stay night|Cu Chulainn]] nor [[Fate/Zero|Diarmuid]] met happy ends in both life and Servanthood.</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>
* [[Mis BlamedMisblamed]]: As noted in the [[All There in the Manual|Complete Materials]], Nasu didn't actually write the infamously bad sex scenes in this or any other Type-Moon game. Hasn't stopped 'Nasu can't write sex' from approaching [[Memetic Mutation]] levels - that may, admittedly, be true, but we can't say for sure without any evidence.
* [[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]]
** Shinji ''starts out'' as a [[Jerkass]], but crosses the line fairly early by {{spoiler|trying to kill off the entire school to power up his servant}}, and we find out in ''Heaven's Feel'' that he's {{spoiler|raped his sister many, many times before the story begins}}.
** ''Heaven's Feel'':
** 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.
