Someone doesn't get jokes.

Because they are bad, and not funny.

And you are not answering the guy's question, at all.

I'm guessing it's just random. Maybe Nasu thought it sounded cool or something.

Well, "Fate" is a prominent enough theme in the series, so it makes sense. As for the rest...

"Zero" is obvious enough; it's a prequel that shows how the story of the original came about, hence "Zero" to Stay Night's "One".

"Stay Night" is more difficult and likely to be indeed all about sounding cool. Don't know if there's any official word of it. I've heard fan theories that it's because Shirou wants Saber to "Stay" and most of the battles take place at "Night", but yeah, who knows, really.

Touko · 2012-06-05, 10:52

The "Zero" is referring to the countdown in Fate/Zero.

It is the "zero point/hour" where Fate/Stay Night (Shirou's story) starts from.

"Stay Night" is obvious enough, as the dude above pointed out. The final battle scene in Fate route is named after it.

Saber disappears with the rising of the sun at the end of Fate, doesn't she?

Think all three routes are about the same. I remember each one the first time around took me about 24 hours.

Each one is longer than the previous. HF is longer than UBW. UBW is longer than Fate. Fate is the shortest.

sona-nyl · 2012-06-10, 10:49

UBW is only slightly longer than Fate though. But HF is longer than UBW by a pretty large margin.

I just started reading F/S N manga. Can i ask, is the manga and anime different? as far as I know, the starting seems the same but what about the characters, plot, etc?

Yes, it is.
The manga follows the plot of UBW until halfway down then it suddenly switches to the Fate route.

In comparison, the anime is mostly based on the Fate route with a few elements of UBW and HF routes being there.

So I may suggest you to read the manga until at least 2/3 of the story.

I like it. It's own mix of events.

chaos_alfa · 2012-06-13, 17:19

Just read the visual novel for the best experience.

Kimidori · 2012-06-13, 18:10

Can a Reality Marble be casted inside another one? like can Archer use Unlimited Blade Works inside Ionioi Hetairoi?

mAc Chaos · 2012-06-13, 18:12

One of them would end up taking over the other.

Haak Me, An Intellectual Join Date: Apr 2009 Location: UK Age: 33	Spoiler for Fate/Zero Episode 23: If you're talking about after his Reality Marble breaks then I think that's a new piece, though if I were to say it's similar to anything then I'd say it's similar to Kaijura's Sword of Promised Victory. If you're talking about during his Reality Marble charge then I think that's Point Zero. __________________ MAL \| AnimeSuki Choice Awards 2020 Winners
