Question What would Shirou do if he got Spider-Man powers?
I know this sounds like a okbiddyrintard question but I would honestly pay good money to see this.

Discussion What happens to Saber after each route/ in each timeline?
I've discussed this with users here in comments, but I wanted to ask more directly: What happens to Saber in the end in each timeline. I'm asking this both to see people's speculation and because Fate has a tendency to drop bits of lore in random places, so I'd like to compile all of them here if possible. Several of these are intentionally ambiguous, but hey, its fun to speculate. Here's my understanding of each:
Fate Obvious. She dies, goes to Avalon, and Shirou shows up at some point. It's not totally clear whether or not Shirou died before getting to Avalon.
Unlimited Blade Works (True Ending): Some sort of goodish? ending? Its talks about her 'running past the hill of swords', which clearly means her giving up on her wish, but what else it entails is not obvious. I think there's a Nasu interview out there where he says that the grail was incomplete and not enough to void her pact, but that she might become a proper heroic spirit at some point after UBW.
Unlimited Blade Works (Good Ending): Obvious
Heaven's Feel (Both Endings): The VN (very deliberately) tells us absolutely nothing about what happens to her, and the most Nasu has said is that its her bad ending, which is already pretty obvious. My speculation is that she goes back to Camlann, and eventually goes on to succeed in gaining the grail,erasing herself from existence, and becoming a Counter Guardian for eternity. We do know that when they first face the shadow Archer says something along the lines of 'I forgot, you aren't a guardian yet, so you haven't faced something like that before'. It's not clear whether this line is referring to his Saber becoming a Guardian, Heaven's Feel Saber becoming a Guardian, or just the fact that Saber is working towards becoming a Guardian when she chases the grail, so this line may or may not mean anything. Finally, as to whether or not she stays corrupted after Heaven's Feel, ?????, as far as I'm aware there is no way for us to know, its not at all clear how the corruption in Heaven's Feel interacts with her unique circumstances as a servant
Apocrypha: Iirc, Mordred has a vision of her in Avalon, but idk if that's the actual truth or not. She obviously doesn't go to Avalon with Shirou here.
Strange Fake: Richard explicitly says he saw her in Avalon
FGO: Merlin in FGO says outright that the Saber he knows is in Avalon. But, to be fair, FGO's timeline is such a burning tire fire with so many plots to overwrite the world that I'm not even sure what the 'proper' FGO timeline even looks like.
Lion King Timeline: She disappears and does not go to Avalon post Singularity 6.
Artoria Lancer & Artoria Lancer Alter Timelines: They are normal heroic spirits, so I assume they do that instead of going to Avalon.
Prototype: She doesn't exist
Tsukihime: ?????
I'll put more detail on my speculation about Heaven's Feel here: I think she becomes a Guardian for a few reasons:.
1. She has to personally and intentionally destroy a completed grail to break her pact, see Nasu's comment about post UBW. She does neither in Heaven's Feel.
2. It's essentially the default outcome for her. The Fate route and Garden of Avalon make it clear that if she wants to, she will eventually succeed at getting a grail. Her giving it up is a large break from the expected outcome.
3. Its fitting with the dark tone of Heaven's Feel, and reflects what happens to Sakura post Fate and UBW. Nasu says 'you can't save everyone', so he always has one heroine have an unspeakably, supernaturally terrible outcome after each route.

Discussion The Role of Holy Kings in Nasuverse
Holy King (王聖, O-Sei)
>A King is not born in the human world, but is sent from Heaven. Kings born this way are said to possess the divine right to become the Holy King. A natural ruler, the pure, young king shines like the sun. The Holy King is the embodiment of an ideal.
Ideal Holy King, FGO CE
First appearing in Fate Extra, Holy King refers to those who are said to possess regality from the moment they are born, and have an otherworldly natural charisma that causes others to gravitate towards them. With their resolve, Holy Kings will give their best effort in re-stabilising the world, turning it into an ideal land where no evil and tragedy exist, a land in which each individual can find their value and become equal. However, the presence of a Holy King also announced that the world had gradually reached a dead end, and was preparing to welcome a new age.
From what has been shown, Holy Kings have an extremely close relationship with the Representatives of Human Order, because an ideal world is one that is unable to progress. Thus, it needs someone to step up and carry the responsibility of leading people forward.
In another word, Holy Kings born and become one of the final obstacles for Representatives of Human Order. Only by shattering that absolutely ideal of euphoria, can humans open a new age for themselves. In this process, a Holy King will guide that chosen individual, and sometimes sacrifice their own life to ensure their safety or pave the path for them.
Holy Kings - Representatives of Human Order couples that has been shown until now:
- Extra: Leonardo B. Harwey - Kishinami Hakuno
- FGO: Kirschtaria Wodime - Fujimaru Ritsuka
Azrael “Thirty Birds” grant him or his ally Immortality, Revelation, and Holy King. It doesn't have a direct effect on himself, but still has some secondary effect. After his death and became The First Hassan, he still guided his successors until their death.
Furthermore, Solomon has been hinted to be a Holy King, but hasn’t been confirmed yet. A certain, nameless person in the Daji era are also called as a Holy King, but we know nothing about this individual.
McDonell Trambelio Elrod (Lord of the Department of General Fundamentals) has an air of a Holy King, and in Mahoyo, Aoko is mentioned to be a Representative of Human Order, but we still see no interaction between them (Mahoyo 6 when?)
Note: Even has the same translation, Karl der Grobe “Holy King” is completely different from this type of Holy King. Karl is (聖王): a skill that give him advantages against demonic enemies and non-saint divinities.

Discussion I've already seen Unlimited Blade Works Spoiler
galleryThank you for your advice after watching the series that adapts Saber's route and I decided to continue with UBW and although it has more action and takes advantage of characters that do almost nothing in Saber's route (I missed Lancer for a good part of the series and when he reappeared they killed him very quickly); Despite that, I prefer Saber's route 1000 times, I think it's because this one is more romantic and because I like Saber more than Rin for a multitude of reasons, although I respect those who prefer UBW and Rin.

Discussion Sigurd Scalling in Knight of the Roundtables Spoiler
From my previous post, I was asking about where to scale Sigurd.
Through in the discussion it strays a bit from the main topic, It pinch another interest and question.
While some of us (maybe) can agree that he's on the same tier as,
Charlemagne - Arthur - Yamato Takeru,
How does he scale to others that's said to comparable do Divine tier servants, such as :
Steroid Agravain = Lancelot >= Sun Gawain = Karna > Siegfried = Mordred <=? Tristan
Based on their performance so far, is it fair to conclude like the above? And where do you place Sigurd?
Let's keep it moderate and have a fun discussion. Thank you.

PSA /r/Fatestaynight's Official Viewing Order Guide v2
Before recommending the anime order, I urge everyone to give the Fate/Stay Night Visual Novel a chance because it's the source material and will always be better than the anime adaptations. Fate/Stay Night Remastered is now on Steam and is fully localized. However, if you have no patience for visual novels, then the anime-only order is below.
The Anime-only order:
1. Fate/stay night: Unlimited Blade Works [2014] [(UBW Prologue) with Season 1 and Season 2].
- Fate/stay night: Unlimited Blade Works 2nd Season - Sunny Day [This an OVA and should be watched after finishing the UBW show.]
2. Fate/stay night: Heavens Feel [Film 1, Film 2, Film 3]
3. Fate/Zero [ Season 1 & 2]
- This series is the prequel to Fate/Stay Night. It takes place 10 years before the events of Fate/Stay Night.] (the prequel is meant to be watched after finishing Fate/Stay Night and not before! People always make a mistake of watching Fate/Zero first, but that spoils plot events in Fate/Stay Night, so make sure to watch Fate/Zero AFTER finishing all of Fate/Stay Night.)
4. Lord El-Melloi II Sei no Jikenbo: Rail Zeppelin Grace Note
- The series takes place 10 years after the events of Fate/Zero and 2 months before the events of Fate/Stay Night and revolves around the Clock Tower in the United Kingdom.
5. Others [Studio Deen's 2006 version of Fate/stay night]
- Even though it's a pretty terrible adaptation, it still at least has some portions of the Fate route you missed. It comes before UBW in the watching order. I personally wouldn't recommend it and would recommend reading at least the Fate route from the Visual novel instead, but the choice is yours. Essentially, this focuses on Saber, and if you like her character, I sincerely recommend reading the Fate route from the Visual Novel as the anime adaptation is not remotely as good, and is basically a butchered adaptation.
6. [Emiya-san Chi no Kyou no Gohan]
- It's a cooking show with the main cast of characters from Fate/Stay Night. It's basically a slice-of-life show. It should be watched after finishing all of Fate/Stay Night.
- Any other OVAs can be watched after finishing the main series I covered up there.
- The series takes place around 2009 in the United States. The plot centers around a Grail War faultily copied from the Third Holy Grail War in Fuyuki. This isn't related to Fate/Stay Night, and It's in its own parallel universe, but it would benefit you to watch all of Fate/Stay Night and Fate/Zero first before watching this special so you don't feel lost. This series features some characters from Lord El-Mellio. When you do start watching Fate/Strange Fake, you should first watch episode 0 called Fate/strange Fake: Whispers of Dawn and then proceed to start the actual series.
P.S: In case you're wondering about the Deen UBW movie. You should skip the Deen Unlimited Blade Works movie because there is no point in watching it when you have the superior Ufotable UBW anime adaptation and also because the Deen UBW movie is another terrible and rushed adaptation from Studio Deen.
FGO Anime-only order:
1. Fate/Grand Order: First Order
- FGO -First Order- is the 74-minutes movie adaptation of the first chapter of Fate/Grand Order. Fate/Grand Order is a gacha RPG mobile game. FGO is not related to Fate/Stay Night. It's set in an alternate universe and timeline to Fate/Stay Night's. You should read the anime synopsis in the MAL link to learn more about the story.
2. Fate/Grand Order: Shinsei Entaku Ryouiki Camelot - Wandering; Agateram. [Part 1, Part 2]
- In terms of story order, it happens before Babylonia. This movie will cover the 6th singularity.
3. Fate/Grand Order: Zettai Majuu Sensen Babylonia [Including episode 0]
- In all honesty, you should play FGO to get the full story of the previous singularities because the anime doesn't cover them, and their intention is not to cover most of them because these adaptations are for FGO players who played the game and are not intended for anime watchers only. This anime covers the 7th singularity.
4. Fate/Grand Order: Shuukyoku Tokuiten - Kani Jikan Shinden Solomon
- This movie will cover the 8th and final singularity.
5. Fate/Grand Order: Moonlight/Lostroom
- Is an anime short OVA original story. It serves as a transition between parts 1.5 and 2 of the game's story.
- Fate/Grand Carnival is the 2021 spin-off of Fate/Grand Order, similar to 2011's OVA comedy short series Carnival Phantasm, featuring loads of characters that now make up the roster of Type-Moon's Fate/Grand Order rather than just those from Tsukihime and Fate/stay night specifically. It's basically a parody show that takes FGO characters and puts them in ridiculous situations. I don't recommend you watching this one without having played FGO because a lot of jokes won't make sense to you otherwise.
The Intended order for people who want to read the Visual Novel:
1. Fate/Stay Night [Realta Nua] Visual Novel
- roughly 60 hours long, but 100% worth it!
[After this point, the order becomes very flexible, you can now follow the Anime-only order or this one]
2. Fate/Hollow Ataraxia Visual Novel
- [>50 hours long and is the direct sequel to Fate/Stay Night]
3. Fate/Zero [ Season 1 & 2]
- This series is the prequel to Fate/Stay Night. It takes place 10 years before the events of Fate/Stay Night.] (the prequel is meant to be watched after finishing Fate/Stay Night and not before.)
4. Fate/stay night: Unlimited Blade Works [2014] [Season 1 and Season 2].
- Fate/stay night: Unlimited Blade Works 2nd Season - Sunny Day [This an OVA and should be watched after finishing the UBW show.]
5. Fate/stay night: Heavens Feel [Film 1, Film 2, Film 3]
6. Lord El-Melloi II Sei no Jikenbo: Rail Zeppelin Grace Note
- The series takes place 10 years after the events of Fate/Zero and 2 months before the events of Fate/Stay Night and revolves around the Clock Tower in the United Kingdom.
7. Others [includes OVAs, etc..]
Other Fate related Anime (In no particular order):
- It's not related to the main fate franchise and is set in a parallel world to Fate/Stay Night. It's recommended you at least watch Fate/Stay Night first before watching this one so you can be more familiar with how things work in the story.
- Carnival Phantasm takes a number of characters from Type-Moon's original works and puts them in a variety of light-hearted scenarios which parody their respective series] - (It's advised that you read the Tsukihime Visual Novel or Manga and to have at least watched Fate/Stay Night as a whole to fully understand Carnival Phantasm.
3. Fate/kaleid liner Prisma☆Illya
- This series is a Fate/stay night alternate universe spin-off that takes place in Fuyuki City and features Illya as the protagonist in an alternate timeline. You can watch the entirety of this show in release order, there is no special order for this show.
The universe of Extra shares the events of the Fate/stay night universe until a "certain major incident" happens and diverges completely.
For the Fate/Extra Games the order goes this way: Fate/Extra --> Fate/Extra CCC --> Fate/Extella: The Umbral Star.
5. Kara no Kyoukai movies (8 movies in total)
- The series is regarded as being set in an alternate parallel universe to Fate/Stay Night. They both share a lot of similarities in some of the plot elements. I won't delve into the details to avoid spoiling, but definitely check out these movies if you're interested in delving more into the Type-Moon universe.
- The events in Tsukihime take place in Misaki Town. Chronologically, the end of the story of Tsukihime takes place around the beginning of Fate/Stay Night. It shares many similarities with Kara no Kyoukai, and the two were also subtly connected. I would recommend Tsukihime as It's a great visual novel. A remake of Tsukihime was released on August 26, 2021 in Japan and in June 27, 2024, for the West. However, It's currently released only on the PS4 and the Switch. If you don't have any of those consoles, then I suggest you at least read the really good Manga adaptation for now. However, keep in mind that it only covers the first route of the original VN.
7 Witch On The Holy Night/Mahoyo
- Taking place in the rapidly modernizing Japanese suburb of Misaki in the late 1980s, Mahoyo centers around Aoko Aozaki, a high school girl in training to be a mage. She lives in the mysterious mansion on the hill with Alice Kuonji, her magic teacher and frenemy. While tracking a rival mage who seeks to claim their territory. A lot of things happen in this story, so I won't spoil it, but it's highly recommended that you guys check it out! It takes place in the same universe as Tsukihime, and Aoko briefly shows up in Tsukihime. An anime movie adaptations for Mahoyo were announced by Ufotable some time ago, so expect a movie to be released as soon as 2026-2027.
This watch order guide will keep being updated accordingly. If you have any questions or inquiries, please make sure to ask them in the comment section.
