Line 12:
* Kiritsugu having to kill {{spoiler|his mentor and adoptive mother}} to prevent a zombie outbreak in his backstory.
** {{spoiler|The episode in question aired on Mother's Day for extra despair.}}
* A great deal happens during the events of Fate/Zero, to be certain, but one of the most heart-wrenching tear jerking things of the entire series is what becomes of the 4 main children following the events of Zero. It's actually VERY difficult to determine who has it the worst of the 4:
** Shirou Emiya - A young boy who would later become the main character of the events of Fate/Stay Night. He only shows up at the very end of Zero, but when he DOES appear, it's because the fire following the destruction of the holy grail had burned a huge portion of the city. It leaves him deeply traumatized, but it also took away all that he was prior to the fire, his old life, his old home, and his old family. He lost everything that day. Sure, Kiritsugu saved his life and adopted him, but he passed away 3 or 4 years prior to F/SN's beginning, leaving Shirou alone once more.
** Rin Tohsaka - A child prodigy seeking to become a great mage to carry on her family legacy. The events of Zero end with {{spoiler|her father having been murdered and her mother brain damaged and living in a mental hospital (signs point to her once beloved Uncle Kariya to have been framed for both of these things), with her parents gone or unfit to raise her, Kirei Kotomine became her legal guardian (yes... the REAL person who was behind destroying her family... became Rin's guardian), and it is pretty evident that while Kirei wasn't openly cruel to her, he was very sadistically manipulating her to cause additional suffering for her, such as giving her a gift of a dagger that her father had given him... The very same dagger that Kirei had used to murder him with}}. {{spoiler|Also, her sister, Sakura was left in the custody of the Matou family, and she would never know the horrors Sakura was going through.}}
** Sakura {{spoiler|Tohsaka}} Matou - {{spoiler|Rin's biological sister}} Is left in the custody of the Matou family, and by the end of Zero, she was {{spoiler|completely broken and lost all hope of going against Zouken. As evidenced when Kariya finally dies amidst trying one last time to escape with her, she called him a fool for going against "grandpa". For the next 10 years, she would be continuously subjected to the Bug Room on practically a daily basis, but it gets worse, because Shinji had been away during the 4th Grail War, and upon returning to find he had a new sister, he was initially happy and treated her well, until he found out the reason she was there was so SHE could inherit the Matou's magic instead of him. After that, he started treating her like garbage just as bad as the others, and it's even said that he had molested and raped her on a few occasions. A few years before F/SN, Sakura met Shirou and Taiga, which were her 2 real friends she ever had}}.
** Ilyasviel Von Einzbern - Iris and Kiritsugu's biological daughter. {{spoiler|The destruction of the Holy Grail at the end of the war, was seen as treason by the rest of the Einzbern family, so they prevented Kiritsugu from ever seeing Ilya ever again. In the meantime, they lied to her by telling her that Kiritsugu had abandoned her and started a new family with a new child in Japan. Additionally, Ilya began getting visions thanks to the spirit of the grail posing as her mother to turn her against Kiritsugu and twist her mind. On top of all that, Ilya was being subjected to various surgeries and operations on a daily basis to make her stronger and stronger so that by the time of the 5th Holy Grail War, she was the strongest mage ever, with her body being almost 90% magical circuits}}.
