Line 577:

* [[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]] - ''~~just~~ look''

* [[Troperiffic]] - ''Just look.''

* [[Trope Overdosed]]

* [[Turn the Other Cheek]]

Line 598:

** 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]] ''~~[[Played Straight|~~completely straight]]''. ''And it works'': in a route filled with genuine horror, Kotomine ordering a ''second'' mapo tofu comes across as menacing.

* [[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 606:

* [[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-~~Yan~~ Clash]]: Lancer's ultimate attack, since he uses Gáe Bolg, a cursed spear, to piece his opponent's heart without fail even ''before he even starts the attack''. In the ''Unlimited Blade Works'' route, he even ''throws'' his pear at Archer for even greater power. Archer reacts with Rho Aias, a legendary shield which no spear was ever to pierce. {{spoiler|Rho Aias succeeds blocking Gáe Bolg, unfortunately the shield was destroyed and consumed a huge chunk of Archer's power and cutting off one of his arms. Lancer was dumbfounded}}.

* [[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 ~~informations~~.
