Plot

Fate/zero takes place 10 years prior to the events of Fate/stay night, detailing the events of the 4th Holy Grail War in Fuyuki City.[1] The War of the Holy Grail is a contest in which seven magi summon seven Heroic Spirits to compete to obtain the power of the "Holy Grail," which grants a miracle. After three inconclusive wars for the elusive Holy Grail, the Fourth War commences.

Founded by the Einzbern, Matō, and Tōsaka families centuries ago, the Einzbern family is determined to achieve success after three successive failures, no matter the cost. As a result, they have elected to bring the hated magus killer, Kiritsugu Emiya, into their ranks, despite his methods and reputation as a skilled mercenary and a hitman who employs whatever he can use to accomplish his goals. Though Kiritsugu had once wanted to become a hero who could save everyone, he has long since abandoned this ideal upon realizing that saving one person comes at the cost of another's life. For the sake of humanity, he will ruthlessly destroy anything and anyone who threatens the peace of others.

However, Kiritsugu finds himself deeply torn between the love he has found for his new family - his wife Irisviel and their daughter Illya - and what he must do to obtain the Holy Grail. Meanwhile, Kiritsugu's greatest opponent appears in the form of Kirei Kotomine, a priest who cannot find any sense of fulfillment in his life and sets his sights on Kiritsugu as the possible answer to the emptiness he feels.

Voiced by: Rikiya Koyama
Master of Saber, adopts a strategy of exploiting a magus' weak point using technology. A coldblooded assassin skilled in hunting magicians. Entered the Einzbern family to realize his lifelong wish: to save the world using the power of the Holy Grail.

Voiced by: Joji Nakata

Irisviel von Einzbern (アイリスフィール・フォン・アインツベルン Airisufīru fon Aintsuberun?)

Voiced by: Sayaka Ohara
Heroine of the story, the mother of Illyasviel von Einzbern and Kiritsugu's wife. A homunculus prototype created by the Einzbern family with the idea to give birth to an ultimate homunculus. Like many of the Einzberns, she is skilled in alchemy. Irisviel serves as Saber's proxy Master, since Kiritsugu believes that he and Saber are incompatible.






Tokiomi Tōsaka (遠坂 時臣 Tōsaka Tokiomi?)

Voiced by: Sho Hayami
Father of Rin Tōsaka and Sakura Matō, Master of Archer, arrogant and manipulative, arranges for Kirei Kotomine to be his "pupil". Thinks highly of Kotomine and has him serve him.

Voiced by: Hasumi Ito
Mother of Rin Tōsaka and Sakura Matō. Childhood friend of Kariya Matō. Though she is devastated by Tokiomi's decision to adopt away Sakura, she quietly accepts the decision as the wife of a mage.








Waver Velvet (ウェイバー・ベルベット Ueiba Berubetto?)

Voiced by: Daisuke Namikawa
Master of Rider, future Lord El-Melloi II. Steals his teacher's artifact and uses it to summon Rider. Plans to use the Grail to force the Magus Association to recognize his genius. Despite his difficulties with Rider's overbearing nature, Waver and his Servant form a strong relationship.







Maiya Hisau (久宇 舞弥 Hisau Maiya?)

Voiced by: Ayumi Tsunematsu
Assistant to Kiritsugu Emiya. She is cold and professional, which makes it easier for Kiritsugu to act as he needs to. Armed with a Steyr AUG.







Kariya Matō (間桐 雁夜 Matō Kariya?)

Voiced by: Tarusuke Shingaki
Uncle of Shinji Matō, Master of Berserker, makes a deal with Zōken Matō that he will win the Grail War in exchange for Sakura Tōsaka's freedom. He is the only member of Matō family who truly loves Sakura, and is upset that Tokiomi allowed his younger daughter to be adopted by Zōken. However, the war is taxing on Kariya, not only because of his lack of formal training, but also due to the nature of the Matō family's magecraft and the demands required to maintain Berserker.





Ryūnosuke Uryū (雨生 龍之介 Uryū Ryūnosuke?)

Voiced by: Akira Ishida
Master of Caster, sociopathic serial killer who summons Caster after murdering a family and using their blood as a component in the summoning ritual. He does not seek the Holy Grail, but follows Caster in order to find new thrilling ways to kill people and relieve his boredom.






Kayneth El-Melloi Archibald (ケイネス・エルメロイ・アーチボルト Keinesu Erumeroi Achiboruto?)

Voiced by: Takumi Yamazaki
Master of Lancer, a nobleman from the Magus Association and genius magus. His artifact is stolen by Waver Velvet, but he manages to summon Lancer anyway. While he holds the command spells for Lancer, the energy to materialize the Servant is maintained by Sola-Ui. He is confident in his abilities and takes pride in his heritage, but finds the extent of Kiritsugu's untraditional and underhanded tactics both offensive and unexpectedly challenging to overcome.





Risei Kotomine (言峰 璃正 Kotomine Risei?)

Voiced by: Masashi Hirose
Kirei Kotomine's 80 year old father, a priest in the Church, the regulator of the 4th Holy Grail War. He is a friend of Tokiomi Tōsaka and actively supports him. While he is proud of his son, who has demonstrated himself to be a perfect heir, Risei fails to understand Kirei in any sense.






Sola-Ui Nuaba-Re Sophia-Ri (ソラウ・ヌァザレ・ソフィアリ Sorau Nuazare Sofiari?)

Voiced by: Megumi Toyoguchi
The daughter of the head of the spiritual evocation division. She is engaged to Kayneth as a result of a strategic marriage arrangement and the decision of her family to entrust their crest to her brother instead. However, she is coldhearted and does not reciprocate Kayneth's love for her; instead, she becomes infatuated with Lancer, who in turn does not reciprocate her feelings and regards her only as his Master's wife.









Servants

Servants participating in the Fourth Holy Grail War and their true identities:


Saber (セイバー Seibā?) - Arturia Pendragon (アルトリア Arutoria?)

Voiced by: Ayako Kawasumi
The same character from Fate/stay night. Known as the King of Knights, also known as King Arthur who obtained the magical "Sword in the Stone", she maintains a high code of honour. Emiya was quite tempered to find out that the legendary King Arthur is a girl. Though she and Kiritsugu are Servant and Master seeking the same ultimate goal of peace, their differing ideological perspectives result in a strained relationship where Kiritsugu does not directly acknowledge Saber. Her Noble Phantasms are Excalibur - The Sword of Promised Victory (約束された勝利の剣(エクスカリバー)Ekusukaribā?), Invisible Air - Bounded Field of the Wind King (風王結界(インビジブル・エア) Inbijiburu Ea?), and Avalon - The Everdistant Utopia (全て遠き理想郷(アヴァロン) Avaron?).



Archer (アーチャー Āchā?) - Gilgamesh (ギルガメッシュ Girugamesshu?)

Voiced by: Tomokazu Seki
A rogue servant in Fate/stay night, the King of Heroes. He dislikes the presence of Saber and Rider in particular since they were kings like he was. Much to Tokiomi's displeasure, Gilgamesh has difficulty acting covertly or regaining his temper when his considerable pride is wounded. His Noble Phantasms are Gate of Babylon - The King's Treasure (王の財宝(ゲート・オブ・バビロン) Gēto Obu Babiron?) and Enuma Elish - The Star of Creation that Split Heaven and Earth (天地乖離す開闢の星(エヌマエリシュ) Enuma Erishu?).



Lancer (ランサー Ransā?) - Diarmuid Ua Duibhne (ディルムッド・オディナ Diarumuddo Odina?)

Voiced by: Hikaru Midorikawa
A Servant with two Noble Phantasms: Gae Buidhe - The Golden Rose of Mortality (必滅の黄薔薇(ゲイ・ボウ) Gei Bō?) and Gae Dearg - The Crimson Rose of Exorcism (破魔の紅薔薇(ゲイ・ジャルグ) Gei Jarugu?), which can counter Saber and Berserker's abilities. As a knight, he holds a strong sense of honour in battle and loyalty to his master. Despite being enemies, he and Saber share a mutual respect for one another.



Rider (ライダー Raidā?) - Iskander (イスカンダル Isukandaru?)

Voiced by: Akio Ohtsuka
The King of Conquerors, who desires to defeat Saber in particular because he believes her ideal regarding kingship are deluded and that she would thrive as one of his followers. Derives his status as Rider from a set of divine bulls and chariot purportedly a gift from Zeus, known as Gordius Wheel - Wheel of Heaven's Authority (神威の車輪(ゴルディアス・ホイール) Gorudiasu Hoīru?), summoned when Iskander slices the air with his sword. His two known Noble Phantasms are Via Expugnatio - Distant Trampling Domination (遥かなる蹂躙制覇(ヴィア・エクスプグナティオ) Via Ekusupugunatio?), the trampling attack used by the Gordius Wheel and Ionioi Hetairoi - Army of the King (王の軍勢(アイオニオン・ヘタイロイ) Aionion Hetairoi?). His eccentric and overbearing personality along with his incredible abilities creates difficulties for his Master and their opponents.


Caster (キャスター Kyasutā?) - Gilles de Rais (ジル・ド・レェ Jiru Do Rē?),

Voiced by: Satoshi Tsuruoka
Commonly known as Bluebeard. A Servant who derives pleasure from first providing his victims a moment of relief before terrorizing them and then killing them. Expresses an interest in Saber because he has mistaken her for Jeanne d'Arc, with whom Bluebeard has an infatuation. His Noble Phantasm is Prelati's Spellbook - Text of the Sunken Spiraled City (螺湮城教本(プレラーティーズ・スペルブック) Purerātiīzu Superubuku?).




Berserker (バーサーカー Bāsākā?) - Lancelot of the Lake (サー・ランスロット Sā Ransurotto?)

Voiced by: Ryotaro Okiayu
Previously known as the Black Knight. A Servant who possesses the ability to use practically any object as a Noble Phantasm, allowing him to match Gilgamesh in combat. His madness has reduced him to a mindless, though dangerously skilled, fighter. Despite his insanity, he is still able to instinctively recognize Saber. His Noble Phantasms are For Someone's Glory - Not For One's Own Glory (己が栄光の為でなく(フォー・サムワンズ・グロウリー) Fō Samuwanzu Gurōrī?), Knight of Honor - A Knight Does Not Die with Empty Hands (騎士は徒手にて死せず(ナイト・オブ・オーナー)Naito Obu Ōnā?), and Arondight - The Unfading Light of the Lake (無毀なる湖光(アロンダイト) Arondaito?).


Assassin (アサシン Asashin?) - Hassan-i Sabbah (ハサン・サッバーハ Hasan Sabbāha?)


Voiced by: Sachie Abe, Takuo Kawamura, Eiichiro Tokumoto
Assassin is actually the reincarnation of the Assassin Order composed of several entities rather than just one. They act as reconnaissance agents for Tokiomi and Kirei after Gilgamesh "kills" one of them. They can only be truly defeated if all of them are killed. Their Noble Phantasm is Zabaniya - Delusional Illusion (妄想幻像(ザバーニーヤ) Zabānīya?).





Anime

The 2011 issue of Type-Moon Ace magazine reported that an anime adaption of Fate/zero was green-lit for production. It is produced by studio Ufotable and began airing in October 2011.[7] This is the third anime production in the "Fate" series, following the 24 episodes "Stay Night" adaptation and the "Unlimited Blade Works" movie. Nico Nico Douga and Aniplex will simulcast "Fate/Zero" worldwide with eight different language subtitles (Korean, Chinese (Traditional & Simplified), English, French, German, Italian, and Spanish). Aniplex of America will sell the Fate/Zero Blu-ray Boxset, with English subtitles in North America through Rightstuf.com.

The anime was originally slated to run continuously 26 episodes, but was later given a season break between 13 and 14 to allow for better animation. The first season ran from October to December 2011 and the second season begins April 2012.

  1. My passion for love and life has made me to take to the internet to
    warn internet users particularly those in search of solution to their
    problems to beware of and avoid comments about spell caster that can
    use their magical power in helping you out with your problems. I don't
    want anyone to be fooled because i was a victim of this fraudsters
    who claimed to be spell casters. I am Jake Morgan and i was having
    a difficult time in my relationship as my wife couldn't give birth to a
    child. Although my wife and i loved each other very much as it were.We kept on
    hoping and for 6 years there weren't any sign of breakthrough .As days
    goes by,i will always weep because at that time i was really down.
    Even though my wife tried to always be by my side,only time would
    tell as we couldn't cope with pressure coming from friends and she had to leave
    me for another man. I was now left to face my problem alone even
    though my mom would always talk to me and console me on phone. Things
    went from bad to worse when i was sacked from the private organization
    i was working because been happily married was a criteria that was
    needed and that i was now lacking owing to my failure to have a child that has made my
    wife leave me for another man leaving me single. I kept on
    searching and hoping i would find a solution to my problem but there
    wasn't any coming. I contacted lots of spell caster as i saw them on
    the internet but all were scams as they demanded money from me
    frequently and nothing happened. i had to relocate from Texas city
    United state to Jamaica where my mom was residing and also because i
    became racially abused because of my color .I spent 4 months with my
    mom and together we kept on looking for solution still to no avail.
    There came a faithful day when i met my high school mate who knew i
    was happily married and living in Texas city United state with my
    wife and had to ask why i flew back to Jamaica. I explained my
    problem to her and with sincere desire in wanting my problems solved
    she led me to Dr aluda. Although i was doubtful but soon as i
    explained my problem to him,he laughed and gave me a maximum of
    72 hours for my wife to come back and for she go give birth. I
    did all i was asked to do which included me traveling back to Texas
    city United state. I traveled back to Texas city united state,on my
    arrival during the early hours of the morning,my phone rang and guess
    who?it was my wife who called asking for my forgiveness and saying
    she was coming back home. She came few hours later and on her knees she
    pleaded for forgiveness. Although it was a tough decision for me to
    make because of all the pains i have been through. I love her and
    needed her back so i had no option but to forgive her. We sat together
    and while she was resting her head on my chest we had romantic
    conversation and talked about things that we have never spoken about
    and like husband and wife the urge came to have sex and we had sex for
    a very long time that day. The next day which was still within the
    72 hours given by Dr aluda she felt something different in her
    body and immediately she went for a check up and to our greatest
    surprise,she was pregnant. How possible could this be but it happened
    and am very thankful also my skin color that made me racially abused
    was changed to the preferred and now we are now happily married again
    and no racially discrimination. All thanks to Dr aluda for his
    solution.
    ARE YOU FACED WITH SIMILAR PROBLEM OR ANY KIND OF PROBLEM.PLEASE KNOW
    THAT Dr aluda isn't on the internet so kindly contact him via
