Fate stay night: Difference between revisions

* [[Cooldown Hug]] - As she can't quite bring herself to deliver the fatal strike, {{spoiler|Rin gives one of these to Sakura}} at the end of their battle in ''Heaven's Feel'' instead.

* [[The Corruption]] - {{spoiler|The contents of the current Grail, since the Third Grail War.}}

* [[Cryptic Background Reference]] - The events of the Third Grail War are pretty vague; pretty much all that is known is that the Edelfelts summoned good and evil versions of the same Saber and that the Einzberns summoned Avenger.

* [[Cue the Sun]] - ''Fate'' and ''Unlimited Blade Works'' route endings both use this.

* [[Gas Leak Coverup]] - A number of non-fatal incidents around the town {{spoiler|(caused by Caster's efforts gathering mana)}} are attributed to gas leaks.

* [[Gender Bender]] - In the prototype storyline that Nasu apparently wrote in his college days, Saber was male and Saber's master was a female named Sajyou Ayaka. All changes in female Saber's background were likely due to the fact she is now the main heroine of an [[Eroge]] game.

** A lesser-known fansub had the same line, though followed up with "plain and simple", instead of "...that's the way it should be" in the commonly screencapped version. The official subtitles and English dub have the more-logical but less-memorable line, "If people are injured badly enough, they die. That's the way it should be.".

* [[Good People Have Good Sex]]

* [[Gorn]] - The game borders on it at times... and then the ''Unlimited Blade Works'' movie takes a flying leap into it and keeps going.

* [[Gotterdammerung]] - Modern Magecraft vs. [[Older Is Better|the Age of Gods]].

* [[Gratuitous English]] - ''Unlimited Blade Works'' {{spoiler|and the [[Title Drop]] Noble Phantasm are examples of [[Gratuitous English]]. Archer's Noble Phantasm [[Invocation]] makes great deviations between the accurate translation from the Japanese text and the Japanese "translation" that accompanies it in the game.}}

* [[Gratuitous German]] - A lot of Rin's spells are in really strange German, for example ''"Neun, Acht, Sieben, Stil Schießen, Beschießen, Erschießen!"''<ref>[[Blind Idiot Translation|"Nine, Eight, Seven, Style Shooting, Shelling, Shooting!"]].</ref>

** Servants can recover magical energy by draining the prana of humans. Depending on how much they drain, the process is either highly draining or outright fatal to the human in question. Both {{spoiler|Rider and Caster, who lack Masters capable of granting them magical energy, do this. Gilgamesh has rank A independent action and a physical body and doesn't need to do it to stay alive, but has spent the last 10 years [[Powered by a Forsaken Child|draining the orphans in Kotomine's basement]] in order to stockpile magical energy for repeated Gates of Babylon-usage.}}

** {{spoiler|The Holy Grail's power comes from absorbing the souls of the heroic spirits who died in the war.}}

* [[Humiliation Conga]] - Happens to Shinji a good few times in various routes.

* [[Hyperspace Arsenal]] - Servants can have their Noble Phantasm coming out of thin air. [[Justified]] by the Holy Grail War system. {{spoiler|A more litteral example would be Gilgamesh's Gates of Babylon.}}

* [[Loads and Loads of Characters]]

* [[Luminescent Blush]] - Among others, the three main heroines, Saber, Rin and Sakura, are prone to this.
