     出てくる魔術師、サーヴァント、どいつもこいつもボスクラスという情け容赦のない殲滅戦。
     そう。Zeroは正史であり、同時に、『Fate/stay night』とは在り方を別にする伝奇アクションなのである。
     言うなれば公式の外典。
    根幹は紛れもなくFateだが、細かい枝葉は虚淵玄氏が奏でる独特の旋律だ。そこには『Fat e/stay night』にあったゲームとしての都合など一切ない。物語が望むまま、登場人物たちが踊るまま、まっしぐ らに終局へと突き進んでいく。

    Jesus. Are they trying to explain away little errors through that method?
    Why are you trying to connect them to begin with?

    (also, yes, but probably not in a retconny sort of way since he's been saying this since well before)

    Remember that post from like 2001 when Type Moon still had a forum and people were ripping on Nasu for contradicting himself and he was just like "different worlds lol"

    It's not a new thing

    yeah, like, ever since he had to give some reasons for why Tsukihime is not rakkyo I assumed that he wasn't gonna bother trying to make anything connect after that.

    but fantasy/scifi fans universally love timelines

    Look its a prequel in everything it needs to be but they don't want you feeling behest to another story to enjoy it so parallel worlds so that any specific details that don't line up aren't a problem.

    It's basically the same problem anything else has trying to reverse engineer a story but has the in-universe explanation of a wizard marshal is to blame.

    Well in my case it's keeping track of all the various settings now.

    Regarding Illya's mother in SN, any mention of what her and Kiritsugu and Illya were like?

    It's just Iri as she is in zero. That was established in HA. HA was like the companion for Zero.

    Well it does sound fishy. Particularly because it was the conversation with Zouken that he was deliberately concealing critical information about Sakura. He's blatantly lied about magus practices to Shirou before. And then right after when Shirou runs to the church, Kirei asks if everything Zouken said sounds true (which is ironic because Kirei is lying about some things in that conversation, lot of lying these two do in that route, lol).

    You might ask yourself, "Altima, this is your chance to throw Mr. Riverboat Gambler Tokiomi under the bus, why not take it?". But it sounds really fishy when Zouken explains it like he does. I want the truth, throwing Tohsaka-papa under the bus was never my goal.

    Zouken says he and Tokiomi were in cohoots from the jump abut making Sakura a grail, but then why would Sakura be so ignorant about being a grail in the first place until it actually happened? There would be no reason to not be as heartless with the details as he could be.

    Also, if she was always going to be an experiment, why bother with the adoption if both parties are privy to it? And if she was going to be a grail from the beginning, did that mean they planned to betray the Einzbern and implant Sakura with Iri's vessel from the outset. It would make the both of them diabolical for sure, but again, it sounds crazy.

    Him saying both heads of the family were in on it can be spun as just them collaborating but Zouken keeping some aspects of that to himself, which would be the usual.

    And why bother keeping that secret from Rin in that case, he could just say "Sakura is going to achieve a higher calling than just being a mere magus, there is no reason to worry about her". And Rin would totally buy it, papa is always right, after all.

    Kiritsugu's then-unnamed wife didn't accomany him to Fuyuki, that was a retcon for FHA (due to Zero being written concurrently).

    Given Zōken is right then showing he's an unreliable source, his obsession with immortality overwhelming the facts of the matter re: punching a hole to Akasha, I'm inclined not to listen to him.

    Considering that initially Iri wasn't the 4th war lesser grail, I wonder if Illya was supposed to be the first time that the einzbern's did an autonomous lesser grail.

    Given that the only think the Einzbern are capable of doing correctly is creating Albino Waifu characters, I highly doubt it.

    Emiya Kiritsugu and Kotomine Kirei, who were deeply engrossed in battle, did not notice the abnormality above them.

    Directly above the big prop warehouse where the two men were, Irisviel’s already-cold corpse was placed upon the raised stage of the music hall.

    As the ‘Guardian’, she had almost lost all signs of life. The organs within her body had already reverted to the form of the Vessel of the Grail, and was waiting to recollect the souls of the remaining Servants.

    After Archer’s victory, this vessel had finally absorbed the soul of the fourth Servant.
