街を焼き尽くす大災害で孤児となった士郎は、魔術師・衛宮切嗣に助けられ養子となる。そして十年後、平穏に暮らす士郎はふとしたきっかけから、あらゆる願いを叶えると言われる聖杯を巡る戦い「聖杯戦争」に巻き込まれ、魔術師として最強の使い魔(サーヴァント)セイバーと共に戦いに身を投じることとなった。

Fate/stay nightシーズン12006年

始まりの日

海と山に囲まれた都市・冬木市。ここに暮らす高校生、衛宮士郎は普段と変わらぬ穏やかな生活を送っていた。しかし、そんな日常の裏で、街では頻発するガス漏れ事故に、辻斬りめいた強盗殺人事件など、暗く奇妙な事件が続いていた。それはこの地を舞台に連綿と続いてきた戦い｢聖杯戦争｣の序章だった。そして魔術師の一人、遠坂凛も、共に戦う使い魔(サーヴァント)アーチャーを召喚し、聖杯戦争に挑もうとしていた。

運命の夜

アーチャーと共に聖杯戦争に関わる敵の捜索を始めていた凛は、敵のサーヴァント｢ランサー｣と遭遇し戦いとなった。一方、学校の用事で遅くなっていた士郎は、その戦いを目撃してしまい、ランサーに襲われ突き殺されてしまう。絶命の際、何者かに命を救われた士郎であったが、その生存を知ったランサーに再び襲われる。その時、士郎の元に現れたのは・・・

開幕

美しい少女の姿をしたサーヴァント・セイバーに命を救われた士郎。そして士郎の命令で戦いを止めるセイバーと対峙していたのは、同じ学校の遠坂凛だった。驚く士郎であったが、凛から聖杯戦争のあらましを聞き、さらに聖杯戦争の監査役という神父・言峰綺礼から、戦いへの決断を問われるのだった。

最強の敵

聖杯戦争の監査役、言峰綺礼から聖杯戦争について聞かされ、戦いを決意した士郎の前に、数日前の夜にすれ違った不思議な少女・イリヤと彼女のサーヴァント・バーサーカーが立ちはだかった。襲い来るバーサーカーと戦うセイバー。しかし、ランサーとの戦いで傷ついたセイバーは、バーサーカーの攻撃の前に圧倒されていく。血を流すセイバーを見かねた士郎は、思わず彼女を助けに入り、バーサーカーの攻撃を受け瀕死の重傷を負ってしまう・・・。

魔術師二人

セイバーの存在を桜や大河に知らせるわけにはいかないと、彼女たちの目に触れないよう部屋に隠れていてもらったが、後ろめたさを感じた士郎は、結局、桜たちに紹介してしまう。納得できない大河はセイバーと道場で立ち合いをする始末だったが、次の朝までに3人は仲良くなり士郎はなんとか平穏を取り戻す。しかし学校では聖杯戦争を戦っている自覚のない士郎に怒りを感じた凛が、放課後、士郎に襲いかかるのだった。

魔術師二人

圧倒的な実力差で凛に追いつめられた士郎だったが、決着がつこうとしたまさにそのとき、校内に悲鳴が響いた。二人が駆けつけた先には、魔力の源である生命力を抜かれた女生徒が倒れていた。すぐさま介抱する凛だが、そこに何者かが攻撃を加えてきた。とっさに凛をかばい負傷する士郎。そしてその敵を追った士郎の前に新たなサーヴァントが姿を現した。士郎はセイバーを呼ばず、自分だけで危機を脱しようと試みるが・・・。

蠢動

学校に潜むもうひとりのマスターを倒すまで協力関係を結ぶことになった士郎と凛。そんな中、ライダーが学校に張った結界はあと2,3日で発動するまでに強まっていた。大惨事を防ぐため、士郎と凛は結界を構成する呪刻をひとつずつ探し出し、解除することで発動を遅らせようと行動する。しかし二人が別れた後、士郎の前にライダーとそのマスターが姿をあらわした。

不協の旋律(おと)

ライダーのマスターは、士郎の友人で、桜の兄の慎二だった。自宅に士郎を招いた慎二は、間桐家も遠坂と同様に魔術師の家系で、自分も聖杯戦争に巻き込まれたのだと語った。士郎は慎二からの情報で、柳洞寺に更なるサーヴァントが潜んでいることを知るが、柳洞寺にはこちらから攻め込まないという士郎は、戦うべきだというセイバーと対立する。その夜、セイバーは単独で柳洞寺に向かってしまうのだった。

月下流麗

単独で柳洞寺に向かったセイバーの前に、その山門を守るアサシンのサーヴァントが立ち塞がった。そして、セイバーたちの戦いの間隙をついて柳洞寺への潜入を試みたライダーもまた、キャスターと対峙していた。剣技を尽くして戦うセイバーとアサシン。しかし、このままではアサシンを倒せないと悟ったセイバーは遂に宝具を解放しようとするが・・・。

穏やかな幕間(まくあい)

実戦の前に一度でも多くの戦いを経験するため、士郎は学校を休んでセイバーと剣の稽古をすることになった。セイバーに全く歯が立たない士郎だが、果敢に打ち込み続けるのだった。そんな中、昼食に買出しに出かけた士郎は商店街で不意にバーサーカーのマスター、イリヤに話しかけられる。かつて戦った時とは別人で、士郎を兄のように慕ってくるイリヤに戸惑いながらも、穏やかな時間を過ごすのだった。

鮮血神殿

戦いに備え今日もセイバーと剣の稽古、凛から魔術を教わる士郎。そんなある日、慎二から｢どうしても話したいことがある｣と学校に呼び出される。士郎が単身学校に赴くと、慎二は校内に張り巡らせていた結界を発動させ、校内全ての人間もろとも士郎を倒そうとするのだった。さらに、慎二を止めようと駆け寄る士郎にライダーが襲い掛かる。ライダーと慎二を倒し、学校のみんなを救うために士郎は令呪を使ってセイバーを召喚した。

空を裂く

これ以上慎二に無関係な人達を傷つけさせるわけにはいかないと、士郎とセイバーは魔力の気配を辿って街を捜索するのだった。夜の新都にやって来たところで、ライダーは二人の前に姿を現し、セイバーを高層ビルの屋上に誘い込む。そこで天馬とそれを操る宝具で圧倒するライダー。強力な攻撃を防ぎ勝機を待つセイバーだったが、慎二を追って士郎もその場に駆けつけてしまった。セイバーは士郎を守るために自らの宝具を解放し、黄金に輝く剣が姿を現したのだった。

冬の城

ライダーとの戦いで魔力を使い果たしたセイバーは意識を失ってしまう。このままでは自分の体を維持することができずに消滅してしまうが、士郎には魔力を供給することができない。力なく横たわるセイバーを見て、自分の無力さを思い知り公園で一人悩む士郎だったが、そこへイリヤが現れる。無邪気な態度に油断した士郎はイリヤに捕らえられ、アインツベルン城へ連れ去られてしまった。それを知ったセイバーは、凛、アーチャーと共に士郎の救出に向かった。

理想の果て

アインツベルン城に潜入したセイバー達は首尾よく士郎と再会。そのまま脱出をはかるが、その行動はすべてイリヤによって捉えられていた。立ち塞がるバーサーカーを前に凛は、このままでは全滅は免れないと、アーチャーを足止めに残すことを決断する。バーサーカーの圧倒的な攻撃力を前に善戦するするアーチャーだが、次第に追いつめられていく。そして激闘の果てに敗北を確信したアーチャーは、ついに自らの切り札を発動するのだった。

十二の試練

アーチャーの足止めによって、かろうじてアインツベルグ城から逃れた士郎たちだったが、セイバーの限界を感じ、森の廃屋に身を隠す。このままではセイバーは消滅し、追撃してくるバーサーカーにも対抗できない。そこで凛はセイバーに魔力を供給するために、士郎の魔術回路を直接セイバーに移植することを提案する。それは士郎に大変な苦痛を与え、かつ魔術師として重大な欠陥を負う事を意味するが、士郎はその案を受け入れる。

約束された勝利の剣

凛はバーサーカーへの奇襲に成功した。しかし。宝具｢十二の試練｣によって倒したはずのバーサーカーが蘇り凛はその腕に捕らえられてしまう。あと七回殺さねば倒せないという絶望的な状況に、ついにセイバーはエクスカリバーを使おうとするが、魔力の足りないセイバーでは自信も消滅してしまうと、士郎に令呪で止められてしまう。万策尽きたかに思えたその時、｢イメージするものは常に最強の自分｣というアーチャーの言葉を思い出した士郎は、かつて夢見た黄金の聖剣を投影する。それは、失われたはずのセイバーの剣だった。

魔女の烙印

バーサーカーとの死闘を乗り越え、しばしの平穏を取り戻した士郎たちだったが、日常風景に少し変化があった。バーサーカーを失ったイリヤが衛宮家に同居することになり、士郎とセイバーはお互いを意識してしまい妙にぎこちないのだった。一方、新都では昏睡事件がその規模を増し、被害は拡大し続けていた。原因は柳洞寺に潜むキャスターだと一同に告げるイリヤ。そして柳洞寺の住人について話を聞いた士郎と凛は、イリヤの情報と一致するその人物がマスターである疑いを持ち、行動を開始する。

決戦

聖杯の生贄としてさらわれてしまった桜を救うべく、士郎、凛、セイバーはキャスターの拠点である柳洞寺へ向かった。参道の脇に隠された入り口を抜け、キャスターが魔力で作り上げた巨大な神殿を進むが、キャスターの差し向けた竜牙兵、アサシン、そしてマスターである葛木が立ち塞がった。セイバーと士郎がそれぞれ戦う中、ついに桜の元へたどり着いた凛。しかしキャスターに操られた桜は自我を失い、凛に攻撃を仕掛けてきた。助けるはずの桜からの攻撃に苦戦する凛だが、このままでは桜は聖杯にすべての魔力を吸われ死んでしまうと、最後の決断を下すのだった。

黄金の王

キャスターは桜を助けるために傷ついた凛を聖杯の生贄にしようとしていた。しかし、葛木に苦戦する士郎、そしてかろうじてアサシンを撃退したが、宝具を封じられているセイバーにもキャスターを倒す術はなかった。勝利を確信したキャスターはセイバーに自分のしもべとなれば士郎は助けてもいいと問いかける。絶体絶命に思われたその時、突如として黄金の騎士が現れ、無数の宝具と圧倒的な攻撃力でキャスター、そして葛木を一瞬で倒してしまった。それは存在するはずのない8人目のサーヴァントだった。

遠い夢跡

謎の8人目のサーヴァントは、前回の聖杯戦争で召喚されそのまま現世に留まったサーヴァントだった。そして聖杯の力を使えばセイバーもまた二度目の生を受けられると知った士郎は、セイバーにこの世界で自分のために生きて幸せになってほしいと願う。しかし、セイバーは聖杯を手に入れれば願いをかなえて消えてしまうが、彼女を救えるのもまた聖杯だけという矛盾に士郎は葛藤するのだった。セイバーへの自分の気持ちに気づいてしまった士郎は、セイバーをデートに誘った。それは、しばし戦いを忘れた穏やかな時間となったが、士郎のセイバーにいき続けて欲しいという告白に、自分の誓いを否定されたセイバーは反発し、二人は反目してしまう。

天地乖離す開闢の星

お互いの存在を認め合ったセイバーと士郎の前に、再びあの黄金サーヴァントが現れた。セイバーを我がものにしようとする敵に二人は立ち向かうが、その攻撃力の前に圧倒されてしまう。一人の英霊では持つことのできない無数の宝具を駆使するその正体は、かつて世界が一つだったころ、全てを手にしていた人類最古の王ギルガメッシュだった。渾身の力でエクスカリバーを放つセイバーだが、ギルガメッシュの宝具エアの前に打ち倒されてしまう。敗北を確信し、士郎に逃げるように告げるセイバーだが、士郎はなおも立ち向かうのだった。その時、士郎のイメージしたものが眼前に現れた。光り輝くそれは・・・。

願いの果て

士郎が一人で言峰教会に行ったと知り、不穏なものを感じたセイバーは急ぎ教会へ駆けつけたが、すでにランサーの槍に貫かれた士郎が瀕死の状態で横たわっていた。駆け寄るセイバーだが眼前にランサーが立ちはだかった。斬り合うセイバーとランサー。そこに言峰が現れ士郎に問いかけた。聖杯を欲するかと。聖杯の力で苦悩の過去を無かったことにできるとすればおまえは聖杯を欲するだろうと。セイバーにも同じ問いが向けられた。そして二人の決断を前に、この戦いの真実が明らかになる。

聖杯

言峰教会から脱出したセイバーと士郎が衛宮邸に戻ると、そこには血だらけで倒れている凛の姿があった。言峰に不意をつかれ、聖杯の器とするイリヤを連れ去られたのだ。災厄の元凶である聖杯を破壊すると誓ったセイバーと士郎は降霊の地となる柳洞寺に向かう。しかし、聖杯を失えば戦いの結果にかかわらず、セイバーはこの世から消滅してしまう。一瞬の迷いが士郎の脳裏をかすめるが、迷いを振り払い、二人は最後の戦いに臨むのだった。そしてセイバーとギルガメッシュ、士郎と言峰、それぞれの宿敵との決戦の火蓋は切って落とされた。

全て遠き理想郷

聖杯より溢れ出す呪い｢この世全ての悪｣にとらわれ苦悶する士郎。そのころセイバーもまたギルガメッシュの圧倒的な力の前に苦戦を強いられていた。容赦なく放たれるギルガメッシュのエヌマ・エリシュの前に絶体絶命の危機を向かえたその時、セイバーの眼前に光とともに現れたのは聖剣の鞘｢全て遠き理想郷(アヴァロン)｣だった。そしてセイバーに呼応するように、士郎もまたその究極の守りを投影し闇を打ち破った。全ての魔力を剣に集めギルガメッシュへ斬りかかるセイバー。凛に託された短剣を手に言峰に突進する士郎。聖杯をめぐる長き戦いはついに決着をむかえる・・・。

Fate/stay nightSeason 22011年

英霊召喚

Eight years ago in Germany, Kiritsugu Emiya and his wife, Irisviel von Einzbern, welcome the birth of their daughter, Illyasviel. Though Kiritsugu fears he will lead Irisviel to her death with the upcoming Fourth Holy Grail War, Iris assures him that he is a good man who will end his torment and fulfill their ideals. Three years ago, the priest Kirei Kotomine learns that he has been chosen as a participant for the Holy Grail War; his father Risei, the war’s moderator on behalf of the Catholic Church, and Tokiomi Tosaka arrange for Kirei to become Tokiomi’s pupil in magecraft in order to give Tokiomi an advantage and help Kirei get over the death of his wife. One year ago in Fuyuki City, Kariya Matō visits his childhood friend Aoi Tōsaka and her daughters, Rin and Sakura, but he is shocked to learn Sakura has been adopted by the Matō family as the Matōs want a heir that uses magic and is horrified to discover on what has been done to her. Confronting his father, Zōken, Kariya strikes a deal to become a mage in the upcoming war and win the grail in order to free Sakura and return her to her mother and sister. In the present, at the London Clock Tower, Kayneth Archibald El-Melloi dismisses and humiliates a thesis by one of his students, Waver Velvet, who theorizes anyone can be great mage by hard work and practice other than by their bloodline. Angered by the humiliation, Waver decides to prove his teacher wrong by also joining the Grail War by stealing Kayneth’s artifact needed to summon a Servant and heads to Fuyuki City. As Kirei and Kiritsugu learn of each other’s skills, they are disturbed by how they cannot know what the other man’s goals for the war are. After receiving the scabbard of Excalibur, Iris is now hopeful that they can now summon King Arthur of the Saber class but Kiritsugu worries that Arthur’s chivalry will clash with his pragmatic methods. As Kiritsugu, Tokiomi, Kariya and Waver summoned their servants, Kiritsugu and Iris are stunned to see the summoned King Arthur is actually a girl.

偽りの戦端

Waver has a hard time commanding his servant Rider, who is actually Alexander the Great, as Rider is more interested how the world has changed since his time and wants to return to Macedonia and conquer the world once he wins the War. Rider assures Waver that he is reliable by summoning Gordius Wheel, a magical ox-drawn chariot. In Germany, Kiritsugu is playing with his daughter Ilya while Iris and Saber are watching them. Saber is surprise to see this side of Kiritsugu since she assume he was cold hearted and was upset upon learning she was a woman but Iris tells him what actually upset Kiritsugu was that Saber was forced to become the King of Britain at a young age and accepted her fate. Still, Saber admires Kiritsugu and Iris’s wishes to save the world as she also wishes to save Britain when she failed to do at her time. In Fuyuki City, serial killer Ryūnosuke Uryū has murdered a family except a young boy to summon a demon, becoming a Master and summoning the servant Caster. Impressed, Uryū gives Caster the young boy as a sacrifice but Caster let’s the boy go. However it is revealed to be a ruse as just when the boy thinks he can escape, Caster viciously kills him by a horrific creature, revealing Caster enjoys giving his victims a moment of hope before horrifically killing them. Uryū is overjoyed to meet someone as sadistic as him and vows to follow Caster anywhere which Caster reveals he use to be called Bluebeard. Upon learning the Seventh and final Master has been chosen, Kirei orders Assassin to kill Tokiomi at his mansion, only to be killed by Tokiomi’s servant, Archer.

冬木の地

Tokiomi’s servant Archer, Gilgamesh, shows dissatisfaction of killing Assassin as it is later revealed at Risei’s church where Kirei announces his resignation from the war and granted asylum, that the attack was a ruse to fool the other participants as “Assassin” is not one but several dozen people so that Kirei can secretly send the Assassins to scout the others without suspicion. Waver informs Rider of Assassin’s demise but the latter is only interested of defeating President Clinton and acquiring his country’s military weapons and having a good time. Saber and Iris arrive at Fuyuki City to meet up with Kiritsugu but decides to tour the city after Iris reveals to Saber that this the first time she has ever been abroad. Meanwhile, Kiritsugu meets up with his assistant Maiya Hisau, who informs him the other Masters believe Iris is Saber’s master and she has smuggled in the guns they need for the war including his Contender pistol. Kiritsugu fears that he has become too soft due to his daughter but Maiya tells him to focus on their mission and kisses him. As Iris has good time at the beach, Saber detects another servant where they both face the servant at the harbor. The servant Lancer introduces himself and ask for a duel with Saber which both him and Saber prepare themselves.

魔槍の刃

Saber and Lancer fight for supremacy. After some fierce and defensive fighting from both sides, Lancer’s master allows Lancer to use his noble phantasms. Lancer’s magic-canceling spear and cursed spear capable to causing unrecoverable wounds catch Saber by surprise. Meanwhile, Kiritsugu is keeping watch over the fight with Maiya. Kiritsugu finds Assassin watching over the battle as well, so he decides not to act rashly. From far away, Rider and his master Waver spot the battle between Saber and Lancer. Against his master’s wishes, Rider rides his Gordius Wheel down to the harbor and interrupts the battle.

凶獣咆吼

Picking off immediately after the previous episode, Rider introduces himself as Alexander the Great to Lancer and Saber. Lancer’s master is revealed to be Waver’s teacher, Lord El-Melloi. Amidst the conversation between the masters and servants, Rider reveals that other teams were watching the battle as well – Archer and Berserker both materialise and display their powerful Noble Phantasms in a short but intense clash with each other; Rider deduces Berserker’s Noble Phantasm to be one that allows him to “Turn anything he grabs into his Noble Phantasm”. Before Archer exposes his Noble Phantasm further, Tokiomi orders Archer to withdraw from the battle through the use of a Command Spell, enraging the servant. Berserker loses control and rushes to attack Saber, using a street lamp pole as his Noble Phantasm, but Lancer defends Saber as the duel was between him and Saber. Lord El-Melloi forces Lancer to assist Berserker in killing Saber with a Command Spell, but Rider threatens to side with Saber if El-Melloi does not withdraw. Rider succeeds in incapacitating Berserker and forces both Lancer and Berserker to withdraw. Elsewhere, Caster watches the battle through a crystal ball and identifies Saber as his long-lost love, while Kirei discovers that the church was being watched by a familiar.

謀略の夜

Iri and Saber are driving to the Einzbern Castle at the outskirts of Fuyuki until they encounter Caster. Caster believes Saber is Jeanne d’Arc but Saber tell him he has mistaken her and forces him to withdraw, while all three of them were being watched by two Assassins. Returning to his lair, Caster is convinced “Jeanne” has lost her memories and tells Uryū they will be performing more sacrifices. At his hotel, El-Melloi scolds Lancer for failing to kill Saber but Lancer is defended by Sola-Ui Nuada-Re Sophia-Ri, El-Melloi’s fiance who is maintaining Lancer existences by supplying him with prana, which makes El-Melloi uncomfortable since she has fallen for Lancer due to his magic Love spot. When the hotel is ordered to evacuate, El-Melloi realizes Saber’s master has come for them and has prepared a floor filled with traps and defenses. However, Kiritsugu and Maiya have rigged the hotel with explosives and blow it up after confirming all of the civilians have evacuated. Maiya is soon found by Kirei but escapes thanks to Kiritsugu’s smoke bomb. When the Assassins inform Kirei, Risei and Tokiomi that Caster and Uryū have been kidnapping and sacrificing children and are the serial killers the news have been talking about, Risei is disgusted by their killings and they are exposing the war so he orders the other Masters to eliminate them. Kirei encounters Archer in his room and asks Kirei what he desires for the Grail which he reply’s nothing as he doesn’t understand why he was chosen as a Master. Archer convinces Kirei to help him spy on the other Masters and it might help him understand what the other Masters desires.

魔境の森

From his church, Risei informs all of the active Masters that the war is to be put on hold until Caster, who’s killings of children are attracting the public, is killed with the reward of another Command Spell. Back in Einzbern Castle, Kiritsugu plans to use the Masters hunt on Caster to attack them despite Saber’s protests that they should stop Caster rather than use his obsession for her to lure him. Later, Kiritsugu admits to Iri he doesn’t want to do this and would rather run away with her and their daughter Ilya. However, Kiritsugu and Iri detects Caster arriving from the forest with more children to be sacrifice which Iri allows Saber to go after him. As Caster howls his mad, twisted love for “Jeanne”, Saber is ambushed by Caster’s summoned monsters until Lancer intervenes and joins forces with Saber to defeat Caster. As Iri evacuates the castle with Maiya, El-Melloi, who had survived the hotel bombing thanks to his Volumen Hydragyrum, a giant magical blob of mercury, infiltrates the castle to duel Saber’s master but instead trips booby traps set up Kiritsugu which El-Melloi’s Hydragyrum protecting him. As Kiritsugu evades El-Melloi using his Calico M960, he launches a surprise attack at El-Melloi with his Contender pistol.

魔術師殺し

Iri and Maiya are about to escape through the woods until Iri detects Kirei coming their way. Instead of evading him, Iri and Maiya decide to confront him in order to protect Kiritsugu. However, Maiya is outsmarted and taken down by Kirei despite her terrain advantage and Iri fails to restrain Kirei with her magic. Meanwhile, Kiritsugu is able to wound El-Melloi with his Contender pistol. Believing the attack was a fluke, El-Melloi vows to increase Hydragyrum’s defenses to prevent it from happening again. Elsewhere, Saber and Lancer continue fighting off Caster’s endless waves of demonic creatures due to Caster’s Noble Phantasm, his grimoire. To damage the grimoire, Saber manages to clear a path long enough for Lancer to pierce Caster’s grimoire with Gae Dearg, effectively cutting off his source of mana and instantly destroying his minions. Caster escapes while an enraged El-Melloi, suffering from blood loss hunts down the “cowardly” Kiritsugu throughout the castle, which the man himself shows up and shots El-Melloi with his Contender pistol again. Despite preparing for it, Hydragyrum defenses are futile as the Contender’s bullets are in fact special anti-magic bullets, causing El-Melloi’s Magic Circuits to go berserk and tear him from the inside-out. Lancer arrives to save his unconscious master, while Saber rushes to save Iri from Kirei. As Kirei interrogates Iri about Kiritsugu, an Assassin informs him of Saber’s arrival which he leaves but not before stabbing Iri. However, Iri survives thanks to Saber’s magical healing scabbard Avalon implanted inside of her while she heals Maiya.

主と従者

After having a dream of Lancer’s past, El-Melloi wakes up with his body tied on a bed. Sola tells El-Melloi that his Magic Circuits were destroyed and he can no longer use magic but she also tells him to give up his Command Spells to her or she will torture him and cut off his arm. Despite Sola becoming his new Master, Lancer refuses to accept her and remains loyal to El-Melloi but Sola manages to make Lancer accept her by convincing him to fight for his old master’s honor. Elsewhere, Kiritsugu decides to go hunt El-Melloi down despite Saber and Iri wishes to stop Caster. Meanwhile, Waver and Rider manages to find Caster’s lair in the sewers where the former is horrified in seeing the dead bodies of Caster and Uryū victims. As Waver vomits in disgust, Rider saves his life when he kills an Assassin targeting Waver and face off two more Assassins before they escape. Now knowing Assassin is not yet dead, Waver and Rider leaves the Caster’s lair but not before destroying it and burning the bodies. With Waver and Rider knowing their secret, Risei orders Kirei to send his Assassins to spy on them.

凛の冒険

Focusing on Tokiomi’s daughter Rin, the story tells how Rin was involved in the Fuyuki City Kidnappings. Rin is determine to follow in her father’s footsteps as a great mage by learning the art of Crystal Magic. With the Holy Grail War starting soon, Tokiomi tell his wife Aoi and Rin that they have to leave Fuyuki City for their own safety. Rin wants to help her father but accidentally opens a dangerous grimoire until her father saves her. Tokiomi gives Rin a magical compass that detects Mana and warns her that if the compass reacts violently, it means a powerful mage is nearby and she must avoid them. However, in her school, several students including her best friend Kotone have been kidnapped by the infamous Fuyuki City Killer. Wishing to save Kotone, Rin head to Fuyuki City alone to find the culprit using her Mana Compass. Eventually, Rin finds the culprit, Uryū, using a magical bracelet made by Caster, to hypnotize the children to follow him to his hideout. Arriving at his hideout, Rin finds Kotone and several children hypnotized but is found by Uryū. To free the children, Rin destroys Uryū’s bracelet by overloading it with Mana, blinding him and freeing the children from his control and escapes. With Kotone and children picked up by the police, Rin heads home only to detect and confronted by one of Caster’s monsters but is saved by Kariya. Aoi searches for Rin in Fuyuki City and finds her in a park guarded by Kariya who tells her he will win the Grail to bring back Sakura to her. An Assassin monitors their encounter with Kirei ordering Assassin to continue monitoring Kariya. As Aoi drives Rin home, Rin admits she didn’t do much but at least she did something and wants to learn to become a better mage.

聖杯問答

Rider, accompanied by Waver, unexpectedly arrives at the Einzbern Castle on Gordius Wheel. Greeting Saber and Iri, Rider announces he came to have a drink with Saber. Saber accepts and everyone gathers at the castle’s garden, only to be joined by Archer who Rider invited. Archer expresses distaste on the wine Rider brought for them so he brings out a better wine from his collection. As the three discuss Kingship and their wish for the Grail, Saber and Rider have an argument of philosophy over being a King. Saber argues a King should serve for his people and wants to win the Grail to save Britain which she failed in the past but Rider believes it’s the people who should serve for their King and was proud on his reign even when Macedonia fell after his death. Furthermore, Rider criticizes Saber for being a protector to her people rather than a King which lead them to resent her and rebel while his Kingly ambitions made his people love him and inspire them to seek their own ambitions. Their talk is soon interrupted when the Assassins arrive and surround them. When they refuse Rider’s offer to drink with them, Rider transforms into his armor and summons his Noble Phantasm, the Reality Marble “Ionian Hetairoi”, the Armies of Macedonia composed of the soldiers who remained loyal to him and became Servants themselves where they outnumbered the Assassins and proceed to decimate them. With their drink over, Rider departs with Waver but not before saying he no longer recognizes Saber as a King with Archer leaving as well before telling Saber she should stick to her beliefs because her suffering amuses him. Iri rushes to Saber, who reveals she once had a knight who left Camelot because he was dissatisfied with her rule which makes Saber question if the Knights of the Round Table felt the same way.

聖杯の招き

Thanks to the information provided by the Assassins due to their sacrifice, Tokiomi and Kirei now know about Rider’s Noble Phantasm and decides to let him attack the other servants first before engaging him. With Maiya transporting Iri and Saber to their new headquarters, Kiritsugu reviews his current information about the other contestants whereabouts. At their new headquarters, an old dojo, Saber notices that Iri has not touch anything and asking others to do tasks she normally does which Iri reveals she has become weaker possibly because she is a homunculus but she assures Saber she is fine and ask her to help prepare a defensive spell at the dojo. Returning to his room, Kirei tells Archer that he is no longer a Master due to the Assassins death and his Command Spells gone which will return to the Grail or given to his father the war’s moderator. Archer ask Kirei about the favor he ask in spying the other Masters and notices that Kirei has taken an interest with Kariya when he isn’t an important threat which Archer concludes what Kirei desires are; he enjoys seeing the pain and suffering of others. After Archer convinces Kirei of his desires, his Command Spells returns which suggest the Grail still has a use for him but since he has no Servant, Archer gives a subtle hint on which Master he should kill.

禁断の狂宴

Waver has a dream of Rider’s past in his search for Oceanus before waking up. Caster and Uryū returns to their lair and are mad to see their “artwork” destroyed by the fire. But Uryū soon cheers up Caster by telling him his twisted logic that God, who Caster hates the most for Jeanne’s death, is just a spectator who enjoys seeing humans do whatever they want. Impressed by his master idea, Caster plans a “grand spectacle” for God. Meanwhile, Waver and Rider go shopping where Waver has second thoughts about being Rider’s master. As they head home, Rider learns about Waver’s problem but gives him some words encouragement for him to not look down on himself. Suddenly, Waver and Rider detects something at the city’s river where Saber and Iri arrive to see Caster turning himself into a giant demonic monster. Realizing the threat he pose, Rider has inform the other contestants and they all agree on a temporary alliance to stop Caster before his monster attacks the city and kill the civilians. With Rider leading the vanguard, Saber joins him to allow Lancer an opening to use his spears to target Caster.

未遠川血戦

Saber, Lancer, and Rider fight to stop Caster’s Demon from reaching the shore, however the beast regenerates at an astounding pace, making it difficult to destroy. Kirei and Risei discuss plans to cover-up the incident, while Archer and Tokiomi watch the battle aboard Archer’s aircraft, the Vimana. Tokiomi pleads Archer to assist in destroying Caster, but the latter refuses after “sacrificing” four of his weapons to damage the beast. A crowd of bystanders begin to gather around the river and a pair of F-15 jets are caught in the battle while patrolling the area. Berserker appears and takes control of one of the jets and engages in aerial combat with Archer’s Vimana while the other jet is consumed by Caster’s Demon. Kariya confronts Tokiomi on the shore about their family, and is enraged when Tokiomi simply dismisses their family as “Rabble”. Kirei watches the conversation as Kariya and Tokiomi begin to fight. Elsewhere on the shore, Uryū is shot and killed by Emiya Kiritsugu. Caster senses the death of his master, and vows to fulfill the promise he made to his master. Kiritsugu deduces that Caster’s Demon is an immortal being that will regenerate itself if even a small piece of it is left, hence, it must be destroyed in a single, powerful attack. He reveals that Saber possesses one such Noble Phantasm capable of doing so.

黄金の輝き

As Archer and Berserker continue to battle in the sky, Saber and Rider are forced to retreat from Caster’s Demon to rethink their strategy. Rider will transport the demon into Ionian Hetairoi where his armies will try to hold it off as long as they can while Saber and Lancer will have to find a way to finally destroy it. Kiritsugu calls and explains to Waver on how they will defeat the demon and tells him to inform Lancer about Saber’s Noble Phantasm. Lancer realizes what Kiritsugu means and destroys his Gae Buidhe to allow Saber’s wound to heal and fully use her Noble Phantasm. Tokiomi defeats Kariya by shooting a fireball, burning him and falling off from the building where he is later found by Kirei who heals him. As Berserker destroys Archer’s Vimana, he now sets his sights on Saber but his jet is destroyed and driven away by Lancer and Archer respectively. With the coast clear, Kiritsugu fires a flare gun to signal to Waver where Rider should transport the demon. With the demon in position, Saber uses her Noble Phantasm, Excalibur to finally destroy Caster and the demon which the former has a vision of Jeanne before his death.

栄誉の果て

Kayneth visits Risei and asks for his reward for Lancer helping defeat Caster. Risei agrees to reward Kayneth a Command Seal before Kayneth kills him to ensure the other Masters don’t get one as well. However, Sola was kidnapped by Maiya during the battle at Mion River which she also cut off Sola’s arm containing her Command Seals. As Kayneth scolds Lancer and mocks his chivalry, Saber and Iri, tipped off by Kiritsugu, arrives at Kayneth’s hideout, where Saber wishes to finish her duel with Lancer which he agrees. As Saber and Lancer duel, Kiritsugu confronts Kayneth and having taken Sola hostage, gives Kayneth a magical unbinding contract that he will no longer harm or kill him and Sola if he does one thing for him; use up all of his Command Seals to force Lancer to commit suicide. Desperate to save Sola, Kayneth does so which Lancer curses everyone around him before dying. But because the contract only applies to him, Maiya snipes Kayneth and Sola, killing her instantly. As Saber ends Kayneth’s suffering, she finally calls out on Kiritsugu for the terrible and dishonorable things he’ll do to win which he retorts there’s isn’t anything honorable about chivalry and he will do everything to win to ensure his and Iri’s wishes to save the world. As Kiritsugu leaves with Maiya, Iri collapses from exhaustion.

第八の契約

Kirei discovers Risei’s body and informs Tokiomi. Kirei is saddened over his father’s death, although Archer suggests that his sadness is due to not having the chance to kill his own father himself. Maiya informs Iri and Saber that Tokiomi wishes to discuss an alliance, and Iri agrees to go to the church to discuss the offer. Before his meeting, Tokiomi visits his wife and Rin, giving his daughter a spell book and some wisdom before leaving. During the meeting between Iri and Tokiomi, Tokiomi suggests a temporary alliance to defeat the other contestants first. Iri agrees, but on the condition that Kirei leaves the city and can no longer be involved in the Grail War. Tokiomi complies. As Saber, Iri and Maiya leave the church, a sickly Iri reveals to Maiya that she is actually the embodiment of the Holy Grail in human form and will die to form the Grail once the war ends. Maiya promises to protect her until that time comes. Meanwhile, Kirei is preparing to leave, but reveals to Archer that his father’s dying act was to leave Kirei the remaining Command Seals, restoring Kirei’s ability to be a master in the War. He also reveals the secret reason behind the war; the Holy Grail can be activated only by the sacrifice of seven Heroic Spirits. Thus, even a victorious Servant must die – which is why Tokiomi is reluctant to use his command spells, as he needs at least one to command Archer’s suicide should they be triumphant. Furthermore, Kirei still wants to explore his dark desires, and Archer yearns for a more stimulating master. Later, Kirei meets with Tokiomi, who gives him guardianship of Rin should anything happen to him, and an Azoth dagger as a symbol of his completed apprenticeship. Kirei then stabs Tokiomi in the back with the dagger, telling him that, just like his own father, both men never really understood him. With Tokiomi dead, Archer and Kirei form a new contract as Master and Servant.

Meanwhile, Waver heads to the forest where he summoned Rider in order to replenish his mana where the latter wishes to battle Saber to set her straight on what it means being a King. Elsewhere, Kariya is communicated by Berserker in his nightmare before waking up to find himself in the Matō estate. In order to heal Kariya, Zōken forces his son to eat the Crest worm that took Sakura’s purity.

Meanwhile, concluding that the Matōs were behind his wife’s kidnapping, Kiritsugu tortures Kariya’s brother who reveals that Kariya was working with Kirei. It is soon revealed that Kirei made a deal with Kariya to kidnap Iri using Berserker’s noble phantasm which allows him to disguise as another hero, in this case Rider, in exchange for two Command Seals (which he used to command Berserker to capture Iri) and a duel with Tokiomi at the church. When Kariya leaves, Kirei orders Zōken, who has been hiding and watching them, to come out. Zōken comments that he and Kirei are the same in enjoying watching Kariya suffer before he is driven away by Kirei. Kariya arrives at the church to duel with Tokiomi only to find him dead. Aoi arrives at the church immediately afterwards and becomes convinced that Kariya is her husbands killer. As Aoi weeps for Tokiomi, she angrily asks Kariya if he is happy now. A confused Kariya attempts to explain the situation and places blame on Tokiomi but Aoi reprimands him stating that he doesn’t understand her and that he’s never loved. Kariya snaps and strangles Aoi; by the time he comes to his senses, he has killed her. As Kariya stumbles out of the church in despair, Archer and Kirei are shown to have been watching from the balcony, enjoying the tragedy as it unfolded.

この世全ての悪(アンリマユ)

Waver returns to his hideout at the Mackenzie’s household. The Mackenzies, whom Waver put a spell on them to made them believe he was their grandson, are actually aware he isn’t but they enjoyed his and Rider’s company. At Caster’s lair, Kirei interrogates Iri about Kiritsugu, believing both of them are similar. However, Iri tells him her husband is nothing like him who is empty as Kiritsugu is fighting for the Grail to wish for a world without conflict. Disappointed, Kirei kills Iri and vows to destroy Kiritsugu’s dream. Later that night, Rider and Waver sees magical flares from the theater as a sign for duel with Archer. As Rider summons his horse Bucephalus, Waver decides to use all of his Command Seals to give Rider the power he needs to win and conquer the world as he feels he is no longer worthy to be his Master. Instead, Rider still consider Waver his friend and wants him to ride with him for the battle. Kiritsugu and Saber sees the flares as well, knowing it’s a trap to gather all of the contestants at the same area. Having sent the flares, Kirei prepares his fight with Kiritsugu while he sends Berserker to deal with Saber while Archer faces off with Rider. Meanwhile, Iri’s soul finds herself inside the Holy Grail.

最果ての海

As Kiritsugu and Saber arrive at the theater separately, Saber is attacked by Berserker armed with guns in the underground parking lot. Meanwhile, Rider and Waver encounter Archer at the bridge. After having a drink before their duel, Rider asks Archer to join forces to conquer the world and beyond but Archer politely declines. Elsewhere, Saber manages to destroy Berserker’s guns but is startled that he knows the exact length of her sword. She ask for his true identity, but when Berserker removes his mask, she is shocked to find out he is Sir Lancelot, one of her trusted knights. At the same time, a dying Kariya begins hallucinating due to his guilt over Aoi. Rider summons Ionian Hetairoi and he and his army charge at Archer. Archer pulls out his sword Ea and uses his Noble Phantasm Enuma Elish to destroy Rider’s army and Ionian Hetairoi, which sends them back to the real world. Rider asks Waver if he would like to become his retainer, which he does, so Rider pulls out Waver from his horse and orders him to live so Waver can tell the tale of his final charge. Rider charges at Archer and is slain by Archer’s Ea but not before Archer tells Rider that he respects him as his equal. Archer decides to let Waver go after admiring his loyalty to Rider and departs, after which Waver mourns for Rider.

最後の令呪

With Kiritsugu and Kirei fight with all of their skills, Saber finally kills Lancelot, leading to Kariya’s death, where they share one last talk. As both Kiritsugu and Kirei are about to give each other the finishing blow, the Grail’s power spreads it’s self over them. Kiritsugu finds himself in an illusionary world where the Grail, taking the form of his wife Iri, tells him he is worthy to make a wish for the Grail. However, Kiritsugu is shocked that the Grail is evil when it deconstructs his belief of killing the few for the sakes of many and tells him it cannot save the world and end conflict unless all of humanity must die which it wants to do once it is born onto Earth. The Grail attempts to convince Kiritsugu to make his wish by promising he will be together with his family again by taking the form of both Iri and Ilya, but Kiritsugu kills them as his personal happiness is not worth the lives of the world. Now back in the real world, Kirei tells Kiritsugu it was a waste to refuse the wish and he should have give it to him so he find the meaning of his existence but Kiritsugu kills him. Saber arrives at the stage where the Grail is only to encounter Archer, who tells her she should surrender and be his wife.
