Episode 25 is the epilogue to the story, but goes to great lengths to expand upon the original, mainly showing Rin and Shirou living together, Shirou meeting Waver and having a brief discussion, and allowing Archer to continue his Counter-Guardian job, finally at peace.In Episode 24, Angra Mainyu partially manifests as a massive humanoid torso before being obliterated by Saber's Excalibur.This forces Gilgamesh to bring out Ea to temporarily repel the Grail. In Episode 23, the Holy Grail starts going out of control after Rin extracts Shinji from it, and it sends a giant hand toward Gilgamesh to devour him as a replacement core.Later, Gilgamesh lays out some rather lengthy exposition on the nature of the Holy Grail War and what the Grail actually is, which is quite a change from the VN-as mentioned above, this is covered in Fate, so the UBW route didn't bother.

Episode 21 gives us an inner monologue from Saber as she witnesses Shirou and Archer's conflict, realizing just how similar she is to them.Archer also uses Unlimited Blade Works to transport Shirou and Saber into his Reality Marble for this battle, which didn't happen in the VN: the fight stayed in the Einzbern mansion there. All of this is represented by him pulling out a random sword on a hill (Pre-UBW) representing him coming to terms with his flaws. He also manages to use Avalon to heal himself.

Episode 20 expands on the fight between Shirou and Archer, with the former having an internal monologue where he finally remembers that his wish to save others was something of his own from the beginning.Episode 15 expands on much of Illya's backstory before entering the Holy Grail War, as well as showing that she had other reasons to fight besides vengeance.Unfortunately, Gilgamesh and Shinji show up between them announcing their presence through the alarm and actually arriving, swiftly killing Illya's two homunculus servants. She's shown to be willing to at least listen to them, as Shirou figured she would be. The same episode shows Illya's reaction to Tohsaka and Shirou coming to meet her. He also betrays her because of his jealousy, something she predicted and prepared for. In the anime, he's a murderous snob who, despite protests to the contrary, falls into the same trap as Kayneth of not understanding his Servant's backstory. Caster's original Master was only mentioned in passing during the original VN as someone who was jealous that his Servant was a better magus, completely worthless and eventually Caster gave up on trying to help him.Gilgamesh crushing worms under his heel, when one remembers Kirei cordially hates Zouken, has some very interesting implications. There is also a very subtle hint as to what might have happened to Zouken in this route, when Shinji and Gilgamesh discuss events in the Matou basement.Most of Episode 12 is this, between expanding on how Caster steals Saber, Caster's talk with Assassin, and her assault on the church.We see Rin's and Saber's first confrontation with Caster, which the VN skips.Illya discusses her motives with Sella and Leysritt, as well as Berserker's reset of his Noble Phantasm.Rin tries to battle Illya early on while Berserker duels with Saber.

As the visual novel assumes you have already read the Fate route, it often doesn't bother to retread unnecessary ground regarding characterization and exposition in the later routes, making some of these additions necessary for this anime to be an effective standalone story.

#FATE HOLLOW ATARAXIA TV TROPES MOVIE#
Not to be confused with the Studio DEEN movie adaptation from 2010 of the same name. The American Blu-Ray was announced in July 2015 for an August 2015 release. The 2015 Blu-Ray release included extended scenes as well as the light novel Garden of Avalon as bonus content. The second season was briefly available on Netflix, but removed in late 2015 before being re-added in 2016. The anime can be streamed legally in several countries via Crunchyroll and the first season can be found on Netflix. Most importantly, however, it centers on his dream of fulfilling Kiritsugu's ideal of becoming a "Hero of Justice" capable of saving everyone, which clashes directly with Archer's more cynical and pessimistic view on heroism-a clash that is the key of the identity of the mysterious Servant. The story of this arc focuses more on Shirou's character growth and his relationship with Rin than do other arcs.
