Yet again MVM snaps up
another long overdue title for the UK, which is Fate/Stay Night. It
certainly starts with a bang, with a flash back to 10 years into the past were
two servants are fighting against a fire backdrop. One of the features of
this series, which is positive, is that it does not try to confuse you with its
plot. After this first engaging scene it explains the basic principles of
the Holy Grail War. Seven mages and seven servants fight each other for the
Holy Grail. Each of the servants represents a different class, for example,
saber or archer. As this is the case each servant has different abilities
to help their masters to achieve their goal. |
The main character of the series is Shiiro Emiya who is unaware, at first, of the unusual circumstances in which he lives in. He is aware of magic, in fact he can practice some basic reinforcement, however, he is completely unaware on how the Holy Grail war has ravaged his life. He was a victim of the last war when he was caught up in a deadly blast which destroyed the city. He was found by a magician who brought him up as a son as Shiiro's family had died in the disaster. When his adoptive father had died, he inherited his family estate. |

There are many rules to the war that Shiiro must learn when he becomes involved after by chance he summons Saber; one of the seven servants. These though are explained in greater detail in episode three, when he meets Kirei Kotomine. He explains that each mage has a stigma, which represents three command seals, which he can use to force his servant to do his biddings. However, if he looses all three of these seals, he loses the power to control Saber and is no longer able to obtain the Grail himself. He also learns about the tactics that |
mages employ in order to win
as it is often the mages who become the target instead of the servant.
This is because they are often weaker than their servant counterparts, not only
that but their servants will disappear if their master is destroyed.
