Line 20:
Then there is Saber, the Servant Spirit who gets bonded to him. Her true name is unknown, but she has the mannerisms of a knight and the appearance of a young woman. Add to this an [[Tsundere|aloof girl]] named Tohsaka Rin, a rival Master and schoolmate who finds him [[Not Worth Killing|too pathetic to kill off immediately]]. Rin is a professional mage who knows the Grail War rules, but her conscience results in her helping out, despite her protests to the contrary. There is also her mysterious Servant, Archer, [[Easy Amnesia|who claims to suffer amnesia in the beginning due to his botched summoning]]. In addition, Shirou has to protect his "family" -- his self-appointed "older sister" teacher Taiga Fujimura, and his [[Sempai-Kohai|kohai]] Matou Sakura, who has an obvious (''[[Oblivious to Love|to everyone else]]'') crush on him.
''Fate/stay night'' is a PC [[Eroge]] [[Visual Novel]] created by the company Type-Moon, and is set in the [[Nasuverse]], an overarching [[Multiverse]] franchise which includes ''[[Tsukihime]]'' and ''[[
Although [[No Export for You|never released in English]], the game has a [[Fan Translation]] patch made for it by the good folks at [https://web.archive.org/web/20140210062345/http://mirrormoon.org/ Mirror Moon]. The [[Visual Novel]] has been adapted for [[PlayStation 2]] and, while replacing the H-scenes that were in the original game with alternate, non-erotic versions, add some content like new CGs and new musiques. The [[PlayStation 2]] version is subtitled ''Realta Nua'' and you can implement the extra content from this version on your PC version [http://rnpatch.blogspot.com/ with this patch].
Line 35:
* A second manga adaptation illustrated by Task Ohna, this one adapting ''Heaven's Feel'', has begun in June 2015.
* A second anime adaptation was created by [[Ufotable]], the same people behind ''[[Fate/Zero]]'' and the movies of ''[[
* Ufotable has also made an adaptation for ''Heaven's Feel'', in the form of a film trilogy. The first installment, ''Fate/stay night: Heaven's Feel I. presage flower'', was premiered in October 2017. The second one, ''titled Fate/stay night: Heaven's Feel II. lost butterfly'', is scheduled to premiere in 2018.

* Furthermore, there are several more [[Video Game|video games]]:
**
** ''Fate/tiger colosseum'' (and its expansion ''Fate/tiger colosseum UPPER'') is a PSP-exclusive 3D [[Fighting Game]] and [[Parody|a lighthearted parody]] of the series (with some [[The Cameo|appearances]] by ''[[Tsukihime]]'' characters).
** ''[[Fate Extra|Fate/EXTRA]]'' is an [[RPG]] for the PSP who takes place [[Twenty Minutes Into the Future|in the near future]] [[Cyberspace|inside a large, virtual environment]] known as the SE.RA.PH. It has a sequel/companion of sorts in ''Fate/Extra CCC'' (
** ''[[Fate/EXTELLA: The Umbral Star|Fate/Extella]]'' (who has the added subtitle ''The Umbral Star'' for its western release), an [[Action RPG]] released in 2016 and 2017 for PlayStation 4, PlayStation Vita, Nintendo Switch and Windows, serving as a actual sequel for the events of ''Fate/EXTRA''. It has a sequel of its own announced for 2018.
** ''Fate/Grand Order'', a free-to-play MMRPG for mobile devices, co-developed with Aniplex and released in 2015. In the present time, the Chaldea Security Organization, an association who protect humanity, discovers that its recorded possibles futures have disappeared and human extinction is becoming imminent, a disaster whose origin can be traced to an event that took place in Fuyuki in 2004. In response, they quickly develop time travel technology to deal with the problem and keep protecting humanity's continued existence. The player is a Master who was given the ability to summon servants and is tasked with finding time-space anomalies that may cause human extinction and destroy them. The plot took ideas from the ill-fated ''Fate/Apocrypha'' proposal, but it's essentially its own thing. The gameplay is a mix of tactical action RPG for combats, a gacha game for obtaining servants, and a visual-novelseque interaction with the servants to maxing up its states and discover its backstory. An anime film adaptation by Lay-duce, titled ''Fate/Grand Order: First Order'', was released on December 31, 2016.
Line 74:
== A-D ==
* [[
* [[Adaptation Expansion]]
** The manga adds [[Fan Service|a short scene of Taiga in her high school days, Rin taking a shower and Souichirou Kuzuki's backstory]].
Line 177 ⟶ 178:
* [[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.}}
* [[Crossover]] - ''[[Fate/kaleid liner Prisma Illya]]'' features a crossover between ''Fate'' and ''[[Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha (anime)|Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha]]'' where Rin summons Nanoha and Fate as her Archers (and [[Brick Joke|Archer is summoned by Yuuno]]).
* [[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.
Line 238 ⟶ 239:
'''Kotomine:''' {{spoiler|But I'm still evil somehow, right?}}|'''END.'''}}
* [[The Electric Slide]] - Saber does this one during her first fight with Berserker.
* [[Elemental Powers]] - Very exceptional ones, they are attributes linked to the "Origin", explained in ''[[
* [[Eleventh-Hour Superpower]]
** ''Fate'' and [[Anime]]: {{spoiler|Caliburn, Avalon}}
Line 262 ⟶ 263:
** Food [[Gorn]]
{{quote|''Rabbit's corpse. One eye missing. Rotten, soft, and fresh. Forced into my mouth. Rabbit's corpse smears my esophagus. A clear sensation of eating life. Life is life, even if is rotten. Its real. I can't taste this with cooked food. It feels good. There's no taste. But I'm forced to eat it as long as it is in front of me. A popular place. A big line. A place that will eat rabbits. There is only one clerk. The line consists of rabbits. Lines and lines. They rot as soon as they get in the line. Infested with maggots. Which is rotten? Which is infested with maggots? Which is alive? Which is doing the eating- ''}}
* [[Foreshadowing]] - ''Loads'' of it, and in the most unlikely or innocuous places, too. For example, a major reveal in ''Heaven's Feel'' ({{spoiler|Sakura's "training" regimen}}) is foreshadowed in the Mini-Theater you get by completing all Tiger Dojos in
* [[Four-Temperament Ensemble]] - The leading ladies of the different routes exhibit this: you have Saber as melancholy, Rin as choleric, Sakura as phlegmatic, and Ilya/Taiga (in the [[Have a Nice Death|Tiger Dojos]] and, presumably, the cut route) as sanguine.
* [[Freudian Excuse]]
Line 275 ⟶ 276:
* [[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.
* [[Good Bad Translation]] - One overly-literal fansub had Shirou saying "[[Captain Obvious|People die if they are killed]]" with an ultra-serious look on his face<ref>This is a legitimate idiom in Japanese, usually as a statement about how tough someone is that they won't die even if you kill them, [[Quote Mine|but makes little sense out of context]].</ref> A screenshot of this sub is now a [[
** 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]]
Line 285 ⟶ 286:
* [[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]].
* [[Grail Quest]]: Actively [[Defied Trope|defied]] by the Holy Grail Wars in ''Fate/stay night'' and the other various ''Fate'' works. The Grail cares nothing about the Masters seeking it except that the winner has defeated all the others in what amounts to a brutal tournament. And while the best results are gained by ''killing'' all one's competition, it's not mandatory -- the Grail doesn't care about ''anything'' save that there is only a single winner standing at the end. {{spoiler|Then again, it's hinted that it is not the ''true'' Grail, but an ersatz version created by mages in the distant past, and one already corrupted by the time it appears onscreen at that.}}
* [[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>
Line 324 ⟶ 326:
** 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.}}
* [[Humans Are Their Own Precursors]]: Gilgamesh is disgusted with modern mankind because he believes that we are weak compared to how things were back in his day. Because of the [[Older Is Better]] nature of magic in the Nasuverse, he might actually be right.
* [[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.}}
Line 356 ⟶ 359:
* [[Loads and Loads of Characters]]
* [[Luminescent Blush]] - Among others, the three main heroines, Saber, Rin and Sakura, are prone to this.
== M-R ==
Line 433 ⟶ 435:
** In the [[Manga]], Rin and Archer come across the aftermath of a {{spoiler|battle between Berserker and Caster at Ryudou Temple. Apparently Berserker avoided Assassin by not using the mountain gate, meaning he just ''ripped right through'' the mountain's anti-Servant barrier field. The battle itself left the Temple as kindling and the ground around it gouged with massive scars. And we get to see precisely none of this titanic conflict}}.
** In the ''Unlimited Blade Works'' movie, even though Archer and Shiro {{spoiler|use the [[Title Drop|titular Reality Marble]] a total of three times over the course of the film, we never hear neither Archer nor Shiro recite the complete chant, either version. Archer's version does appear in text form at the very beginning of the movie, but it just isn't the same}}.
* [[Oh Crap]]:
** {{spoiler|Gilgamesh}} gets one of these ''per route'', after juggling the [[Villain Ball]] for too long to notice he is about to get killed.
*** In ''Fate'', this is how he reacts when {{spoiler|Saber brushes off the blast from Ea and is about to cut him in half}}.
Line 449 ⟶ 451:
* [[Omnicidal Maniac]] - {{spoiler|Angra Mainyu as spawned by the Holy Grail}}
* [[One-Handed Zweihander]]: [[Played Straight|Played straight by Berserker]], whose 'sword' is more like a massive chunk of metal with a hilt. [[Averted]] by Saber and Assassin, who use their two hands.
▲* [[One Hundred Percent Completion]] - In ''[[Fate/stay night]]'', you have to complete all three routes for the new splash screen. You can also accomplish every [[Have a Nice Death|Tiger Dojo]] for other bonuses.
* [[Our Vampires Are Different]] - Different even from [[Nasuverse]] vampires, in fact! They are not [[Tsukihime|Death Apostles]], but have enough similarities to warrant this [[Trope]].
** Rider has the [[Kiss of the Vampire]] and drinks blood to get stronger.
Line 517 ⟶ 518:
*** In an early episode, Shirou introduces Tohsaka Rin with some narration; one of the accompanying images of her is an animated version of the final CG from ''Unlimited Blade Works''' [[Multiple Endings|True End]].
*** If you watch closely, most of the CGs from the ''Fate'' route appear in animated form in the anime as well. This is repeated with the ''Unlimited Blade Works'' route in the ''Unlimited Blade Works'' film.
* [[Signature Colors]]: Unless she's in school uniform or kimono, Rin Tohsaka is consistently shown in official art wearing red and black. Even her official bikini is red. (Some scenes in ''[[Fate/Zero]]'' show her wearing red and white, showing that her accent colour has changed over time.)
* [[Slasher Smile]] - A seemingly cheerful smile is Tohsaka's default sprite for her occasional rage against Shirou.
* [[Slice-and-Dice Swordsmanship]]: Of course, Lancer will use his lance as a thrust weapon, but occasionally it will be used for slashing.
Line 576 ⟶ 578:
* [[Tragic Dream]]
* [[Translator Microbes]] - The Holy Grail acts as one. Pretty convenient considering a Servant can come from across time and from any culture around the globe.
* [[Troperiffic]] - ''
* [[Trope Overdosed]]
* [[Turn the Other Cheek]]
Line 597 ⟶ 599:
** Not even an rumor about the war going on, even for things that couldn't be covered up or downplayed easily (sonic booms from attacks, shining golden light shooting into the sky at a flying horse, etc). [[Justified]] by a cover-up done by [[The Church]] and [[Magical Society|the Magical Association]], but we never see it in action during the [[Visual Novel]].
** [[Played for Laughs]] on a smaller scale, when Rin gets so angry at Shirou that she shatters her "perfect student/school idol" image in front of everyone to shout at him. Everybody stares... then go back to what they were doing, subconsciously repressing those memories to maintain their "perfect" image of her. This happens on ''two separate occasions''.
* [[What Do You Mean It's Not Awesome?]] - The scene in the Chinese restaurant in ''Heaven's Feel''. Only, [[Played Straight|it is played
* [[When It All Began]] - [[Fate/Zero|The last Holy Grail War]] affected the lives of ''every'' major character in the game.
* [[Witch Species]] - Magic in the [[Nasuverse]] is often genetically inherited through bloodlines. This isn't a hard-and-fast rule, though, as people from mundane families (like Shirou or [[Tsukihime|Ciel]]) can be born with magic circuits, and it's a plot point that one bloodline has slowly lost all of its power over generations. It's also possible to artificially create or increase magical potential.
Line 605 ⟶ 607:
* [[Xanatos Speed Chess]]
** Archer's plan in ''Unlimited Blade Works''. {{spoiler|His repeated gambits to kill Shirou and set up either himself and Rin or a Rin/Saber team as the winners of the Grail War by playing Caster, Kotomine and the protagonists against each other are truly inspired}}.
** Kotomine has a pretty good one in ''Heavens Feel''. {{spoiler:Start with sending Lancer to figure out who everyone is, where they are and how strong, as he did in the two other routes. Crap, after roflstomping True Assassin he got his heart pulled out and eaten. Ok, uh, well we still have Gilgamesh, and he's pissed about the serial killings going on. Damnit, he got eaten too. Fine, we'll set up Sakura, the monster eating everyone to turn into the gate and destroy the world. Uh oh, the Core of the Grail just got hijacked, time to team up with Shirou to recover it. Oops, True Assassin came after him and humans can't kill Servants with the tools he has. Guess we'll destroy Zouken's body, using my fake heart as a decoy and then drive off Assassin. Woops, my heart was beating due to Angra's energy and Sakura crushes the connection. I am running out of time, since my heart relied on Angra's mud to keep on beating. And, breaking the narration, he still makes it to the end of the path and still nearly unleashes a plan that is in fact much worse than the scale of what he was trying in the first two routes. Plus, Shirou's ideology has been neatly discarded, and Kotomine really hated it}}.
* [[Yandere]] - Ilya just loves Shiro to death. {{spoiler|She even kills him, [[And I Must Scream|or near]], in some [[Bad End|bad ends]].}}
* [[Yin-
* [[You Gotta Have Blue Hair]] - Many characters are like this. Surprisingly pointed out in Sakura's case, {{spoiler|but that's for a good reason}}. See the Characters Pages for more
* [[Zettai Ryouiki]] - Rin Tohsaka, Goddess of the Zettai Ryouiki. Rider also sports some Grade-A Zettai Ryouiki.
