Sequel Hook: In the epilogue Angra Mainyu is revealed to still be alive (albeit severely weakened) and swears revenge on the Grail War survivors, Master and Servant alike.He also notes the underlying arrogance in assuming that she is solely responsible for its downfall, noting that there were several other factors in play, and most came about as a result of the choices of others over which she had no control. Harry points out that she is ignoring all the good she accomplished both as king, and in her legacy, noting that despite falling, people still look up to her legend as a shining example of nobility and heroism to this day.
Link draws from his experience with a 'strong' ruler and notes that while there may be another king who could have made her country last through the ages, there's no guarantee that they would have had the moral character to ensure the peoples prosperity as well as the underlying arrogance in assuming that Caliburn did not immediately select the best candidate as king."The Reason You Suck" Speech / You Are Better Than You Think You Are: Oddly enough, Harry and Link both give Saber a mix of these after hearing about her wish for the Grail.Out of Focus: While the other Secondary Servants get their motives expanded upon, Ezio never explains his, or does he get a chapter from his narration before he dies.Original Character: Tony Barnett, a Texan Magus sent by the Mage Association and the master of Second Archer.Oh, Crap!: Harry when he recognizes who the Second Rider is.Official Couple: Shirou and Saber/Arturia are the main romance of the story.Mundane Utility: Link uses several of the items in his extensive arsenal (including the Beetle and the Fire Rod) to cook dinner.The true ending have the Servants returning to the Throne of Heroes, while the good ending has Rin preventing Harry from vanishing while Sakura becomes Saber's master so she can be with Shirou. Multiple Endings: The story has a True and Good ending akin to the original games' route.Archer and Shirou have Unlimited Blade Works, and Second Archer has Bullet of Bullets 3. Mental World: Reality Marbles feature heavily in this fic.Good: The battles between the Emiya/Tohsaka alliance against Barrett boil down to this, with the latter wanting to simply win the Grail without human casualties, including other Masters. She still manages to take out a chunk of Link's ear, though. Death by Irony: As Kirei notes, he is being killed by Rin and Shirou with the dagger he used against the formers father by stabbing his heart, similar to how Kiritsugu finished him off.Alas, I must settle for merely being hilarious. Link outright states that he has access to his arsenal and memories across all his lives, with his Twilight Princess incarnation being the most prominent with Shirou as a master.Harry regains Lash and the ability to use Hellfire, on top of all the powers he gained in the later books.Sinon has her gaming avatar and bow from Alfheim Online (with it's flight capabilities) and her entire arsenal from Gun Gale Online.Word Of God has also stated their skills run on both their home universe and Nasuverse rules, giving them the best of both worlds. Composite Character: Part of what makes the secondary Servants so deadly is that they gain abilities they had from several points in their lives (and across reincarnations in Link's case), even those that were temporary.Blood Knight: Grog Strongjaw shows great joy at being allowed to fight in the late stages of the Grail War, being annoyed that he wasn't allowed to do so sooner.Badass Teacher: Harry becomes this for Rin, and to a lesser extent, Shirou.Adaptation Distillation: Primarily is the Fate Route, but contains elements from the other two routes of the visual novel as well.
