Until the third time, the small grail in the was a "cug" as literally. However, because the small and medium grail was damaged in the battle, the ceremony ended, so it later became a self-management form.

The Fourth

Alice Phil von Einzbern

Alice Fill, to become a small holy grail with flesh, was cast by Einzberen.

Although she was killed by Kirei Yoon, she entrusted the catalyst "Avalon, the independent ideal village (avalon)" hidden in her body to Kiritsugu Emiya, and was later inherited by Shirou.

(Translator's note: Homunculus is an artificial life form.)

The Fifth

Ilyasvielvoneinzbern

The little grail in the Fifth is the heart of Iriasfil (hereinafter referred to as Irias).

She is a special Hommon Kuruz created by Alice Fir as her mother and Kiritsugu Emiya as her father, and gathering the essence of alchemy.

The Holy Grail hidden in Iriya's body is far more refined than her mother, Alice Fir. It can be said that it is the treasure that Einzberen was determined to win and gave away.

Iriya was wearing the "Gown of Heaven". This figure reminded the dirty inkstone, which had turned into an obsession with hunger insect, to recall the ideals she had in the past.

Another little holy grail prepared by Maqiri

Matsuki Sakura

At the end of the Fourth , Machiri (Makito Yuuyan) obtained fragments of the Holy Grail. He buried the engraved insects produced as a catalyst into Sakura's body, turning her into an incomplete little holy Grail.

The "mantra" that restricts the followers

There are roughly two ways to use the mantra. One is the absolute command right to the servant. For example, if there is a servant who has a personality that resists "slaughtering the weak". If the mantra is consumed, the mantra will "must" implement it (although the mantra who has a very bad impression of you afterwards). Then the other is to strengthen the mantra. Although the effect is temporary, its effect is huge. In addition, the mantra is the "given thing" of the Great Holy Grail. If you want to increase the number of paintings, you must take it from others like Kirei Yoshimoto took Lancer's mantra from Batte.

How to make a spell

When the contract between the servant and the Lord of the Lord is established, the Great Holy Grail will inject its magic power into the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord and automatically make a spell. Since the shape of the spell is determined according to the characteristics of the magic circuit, it depends on the Lord of the Lord rather than the servant. Once decided, it will not change, and even if it is taken away by other Lords, the shape will not change.

The spell engraved in Shiro Emiya's left hand is based on swords and sheaths. It is probably to suggest the inherent barrier "infinite sword system", or the holy sword sheath hidden in his body.

The decree curse engraved on Tosaka Rin's right hand. It is probably because of blood relationship and they all have the qualifications to summon followers of the same rank (archers). The design of the decree curse is very similar to that of Toshino.

The distortion of the Holy Grail caused by "all evil in this world (angramainyu)"

After the third time of the , it took a decisive and fundamental deterioration. It was not something as simple as "the rules changed". Instead, the Great Grail itself mutated, polluted, and completely distorted. The weak eighth rank who was knocked down in the early stage of the war, Angoramanyu, the servant of avenger. His soul was sucked into the Holy Grail according to the rules and then polluted the Holy Grail. The Third was because the Little Grail (which looks like an actual "cups") was destroyed during the battle.

For the sake of the "destroyed competition" ended without a winner; but the result of "pollution of the Great Holy Grail" continues to have an impact on the war after the next session. The holy grail, which is regarded as a universal tool to realize the wishes of the winner, is still alive after pollution. However, the implementation method is added with endless "malice". "Improving the wishes in a random and distorted manner" is a conventional method of the demon in the novel. But ironically, the malice that makes this holy grail like that is the malice of the human beings who produce the source of pollution Angora Manuel.

Through "All Evil in this World (angramainyu)"

The wish to be entrusted to the Holy Grail is fulfilled

Angora Manuel is a young man who was entrusted to bear all the sins of this world in order to prove the goodness of mankind. He was expected to be a "symbol of evil", and was summoned as a follower, defeated, and then sucked into the Holy Grail, which aroused a negative miracle. The power of the Holy Grail, as a wish machine, accepted the wishes of the people entrusted to Angora Manuel, granted only the soul, the power that matched the "symbol of evil" and gave the flesh. Angora Manuel was born in this world with the Great Grail as an example of the realization of the third magic.

The impact of distorting the Holy Grail on the Holy Grail war system

After being parasitized and contaminated by Angora Manuel, the function of "realizing the winner's wish" has not changed, and the Holy Grail continues to operate. Its power is huge, and at first glance, it seems that there is no change. However, that has indeed changed.

The first point is the way to realize your wishes. Wishes are often explained in the direction of evil, and are often realized only in the form of destruction and disaster. A representative example is the fire that visited the residential land of Touki City ten years ago.

Then the second point is uncontrollability. Once liberated, the Great Holy Grail will begin to flow out "all evils in this world (angramainyu)". It arouses disasters and continues to spread malice until all human beings who should be cursed are destroyed.

In addition, the black mud contained in the Holy Grail will reverse the follower into a harsh state called "blacking".

The birth of anti-hero

Because the Holy Grail sucked into the Avenger, there were many "bugs" in the . One of them was the existence of "anti-hero". The contents of the Holy Grail that should have been colorless were polluted by black. "From the world's eyes, it is evil but also defined as heroes", that is, the existence of the anti-hero is recognized, so they can also be summoned as heroes.

The present world of Gilgamesh

In the Fourth , Gilgamesh was bathed in the black mud flowing out of the Holy Grail. Usually, he would die wildly or be absorbed on the spot. However, he was an extraordinary hero king. Even the evil could be ignored, and he obtained his body through the mud, and returned to the present world. After receiving the flesh this time, Gilgamesh became able to appear without consuming magic.

(Translator's note: Receiving flesh... means that gods and other people appear in human form. Because it is also translated as "obtaining flesh" here is strange, so it is preserved. I believe there is no big problem)

Contamination of Matsuchia cherry blossoms

As mentioned earlier, in the Fourth , part of the broken Holy Grail was transplanted to the body of Matsuki Sakura. But at this time, the Holy Grail had been contaminated by "all evil in this world (angramainyu). So, what about Sakura, who had fragments of the Holy Grail, naturally, was also contaminated. Therefore, Sakura on the hf route fell into a state called "blackification".

Intentions surrounding the Fifth

The in Touki City is a "big event" that has attracted the attention of the Magic World-related organizations. In particular, the Holy Church always wants to see if it is the "real" Holy Grail, and the Magic Association wants to take the "Holy Grail of Touki" as existing. Therefore, each organization sends the talents of the Lord's candidates into the , gathers the strength of the organization, and raises the necessary "relics with strong causes and conditions for the summoning servants".

Magic Society: Monitoring the Holy Grail

After all, the Yusanjia, who designed the , was the member of the Magic Association. It can be said that it was the organization with the deepest connection with the . In the fifth time, Batte was sent as a talent outside the Yusanjia. What they pursued was the "Holy Grail of Dongmu" as the crystallization of magic, and then the plan to reach the root. If the "real" holy grail in the doctrine of the Holy Church appeared, the Magic Association would not express any interest.

Bazettfragamcremitz

The powerful martial arts magician sent by the Magic Association was originally the master of Lancer, but died tragically due to Yan Feng's plot.

Church: Eliminate the Holy Grail, and leave it to the ideal person if you can't do it

The existence of the "Holy Grail" is also an important matter that the church is very concerned about. In order to see through the coming "Holy Grail" and to make the go smoothly while keeping the secular world confidential, the church sends supervisors.

Einzberen: The will be completed this time

The clan with the deepest relationship with the was Einzberen. The one who was offered for completing the Great Holy Grail was Yustisa, the ancestor of the clan. In the fourth time, in order to win, Kiritsugu Emiya was recruited from the outside world to join the clan.

Matsuki Dirty Inkstone: Use the third magic to achieve immortality

The "strange old man" Matsuki Dirty Inkstone, who turned himself into a bug and parasitizes others to extend his life. However, the huge time eroded his soul. Dirty Inkstone was anxious about the fact that "the day when the soul is completely decayed is not far away." In order to activate the Great Holy Grail to obtain true immortality, the engraved insect that is his own body is buried in Sakura's body to prepare for war.

The special nature of the fifth

The fifth unfolded in fate/staynight, even compared with the first four times, can be said to be a lot of special circumstances. The war interval is short, the characteristics of the follower, the functions of the Holy Grail... and so on. Here we will explain its particularity.

It happened in just ten years since the fourth time

Originally, the took place in a cycle of sixty years. However, this time it only took only ten years from the fourth time. This is because the fourth time ended when most of the magic accumulated in the Great Holy Grail was not used, and it does not take too much time to fill in the magic again.

The little holy grail has the function of being the master

"Living Little Holy Grail" Iriya is the Lord of the contract with berserker. She should have fought for the existence of the trophy and fought in person for victory. This can be said to be a very abnormal situation.

There are two little holy grails

Originally, the rules stipulate that only one small holy grail for "giving the only winner" would be prepared. However, in the fifth time, two small holy grails were prepared.

The existence of Gilgamesh

Gilgamesh survived the Fourth and dripped into the "mud" flowing out of the Holy Grail and gained his body in the present world, so he was able to continue to appear. His existence could live without eye-catching for ten years because he took the rejuvenation medicine and changed his appearance and personality.
