EPISODE: 01 Night Before The Curtain Rises –Black–
Text (Above): Red X Black
Text (Below): The Great Holy Grail War Commences
Page 8:
Text: The Holy Grail War. The battle for the Holy Grail, an omnipotent device said to be capable of granting any wish. When it is spoken of with the preface “Fuyuki”, it refers to the extremely unique war where Heroic Spirits are summoned as Servants by magi, those who protect their hidden mysteries, and they then fight and kill each other until only one Servant is left. Likely because the surveillance of the Mage’s Association was lax for this small Oriental nation, the Holy Grail War caught little attention among magi until its third ritual. However—
Page 9:
Text: In the Third Holy Grail War, which was held shortly before the outbreak of World War Two, several nations intervened, perhaps influenced by the trend of the times. Taking advantage of this abnormal situation, information on the system of the Holy Grail War was spread to magi throughout the world.
Page 10:
Text: Along with their surprise, magi began to try copying the Fuyuki Holy Grail War. Such was a testament to how exceptional the ritual that the system built by the Three Founding Families, the Tohsaka, Einzbern and Makiri, was. But, for the past sixty years, the Holy Grail War in Fuyuki has not been held—
Page 11:
Text: Currently, subspecies Holy Grail Wars are being held everywhere throughout the world. Nearly all are small-scale and summon five Heroic Spirits at most. Even when the ritual is completed, none of them have ever achieved a true omnipotent wish-granting device—
Darnic: —That’s only natural. There’s no way any of them could’ve succeeded.
Page 12:
Darnic: After all, all those magi who conduct the subspecies Holy Grail Wars lack the “core” of the Fuyuki Holy Grail War.
B.Lancer: —And that is?
Darnic: The Greater Grail.
Page 13:
Darnic: In the Fuyuki Holy Grail War, the core of the ritual, the Greater Grail, is embedded into the leylines of the land, and then prana is infused into the Lesser Grail, which the participants of the Holy Grail War compete over. The magi who attempt to copy the Holy Grail War can only prepare the Lesser Grail. Truly, what a bunch of worthless Fakers.
B.Lancer: This Holy Grail War is different, then?
Darnic: Of course, my liege.
Page 14:
Darnic: There is a Greater Grail in this land. The Greater Grail that I personally stole from Fuyuki sixty years ago.
Page 15:
Darnic: I participated as one of the Masters in the Third Holy Grail War held in Fuyuki. The Holy Grail War itself ended undecided due to the Lesser Grail being lost partway through. However, by chance, I learned of the Greater Grail’s existence beneath Fuyuki and stole it. I borrowed the organizational power of Nazi Germany, which I was affiliated with at the time—
Page 16:
Darnic: Then, I hid the Greater Grail from the Nazis as well amidst the chaos of World War Two, and I connected it to the leylines in this land—Trifas, the headquarters of Yggdmillennia.
Page 17:
Rocco: —It’s me.
Darnic: —Oh, my, my. If it isn’t the dean of the Summoning Department, Belfegan-dono. How may I help you?
Rocco: Don’t play dumb. You know why I called. There’s a limit to how long I can keep things in check with my influence. You can still make it in time if you give up now.
Page 18:
Darnic: Those words are quite trite, but I’ll return them right back to you. You can still make it in time if you give up now. Have you managed to finish preparing the Association’s surrender to us?
Rocco: —Are you serious about this?
Darnic: It’s a bit late to ask that now. We’re the ones who declared war here.
Page 19:
Rocco: —You’ll regret this, Darnic Prestone Yggdmillennia.
Darnic: Let’s each do our best so that doesn’t happen. —To either one of us.
Page 20:
B.Lancer: So that is a telephone. How interesting.
Darnic: Quite. It’s convenient, and it’s made the world more complicated. The call just now seems to have been the final warning from the organization I once belonged to, the Mage’s Association.
Page 21:
Darnic: In order to get rid of our rebel clan Yggdmillennia, cleaners, magi specialized in combat, have invaded this land. Yes, they are trespassing on your dominion, my liege. Therefore—
B.Lancer: You’re being too long-winded, magus. Bear your own position in mind.
Page 22:
B.Lancer: I am a
Servant. Give me an order,
Master.
Page 23:
Darnic: Get rid of the invaders,
Lancer.
B.Lancer: —Understood.
Darnic: However— Come in.

Darnic: Thank you all for coming, Masters bearing the Command Spells of our Yggdmillennia clan.
Page 27:
Darnic: Henceforth, you’re all going throw yourselves into a harsh battle as Masters. But before that, have a look at a fragment of the power possessed by the Servants you will summon—

Magus-2: Yeah, what a let-down. A group of this level defected?

Magus 1: (Unclear murmuring, leave as is)
Gordes: —Then you’re saying that you let one of the invading magi return alive?
Page 40:
Darnic: That’s right. I also hypnotized him to make him think that he managed to outwit us and deal us a blow in return.
Gordes: Why would you do that?
Celenike: Just as you know, the Holy Grail War is a ritual that first activates upon the Servants killing each other off.
Page 41:
Celenike: But Darnic manipulated the structure of the Holy Grail War and succeeded in changing it so that all seven Servants are gathered as a single force serving our Yggdmillennia clan. Mere human magi cannot match Servants. They will serve as ample assets in our battle against the Mage’s Association. It’s quite a feat, don’t you think?
Page 42:
Celenike: …What, you’re already dead? How boring.
Roche: Tch. Like I thought, the golems I made can’t match even slightly skilled magi, huh?
Page 43:
Roche: Darnic succeeded in gathering seven Servants to our camp… However, to complete the ritual to activate the Holy Grail, we’ll now have to defeat more than the fixed number of Servants… So we’ll have the Mage’s Association summon the Servants we need to defeat. We let the surviving magus leave thinking that he unlocked the system to allow their side to summon Servants…
Page 44:
Roche: Fufu, ahaha. The ritual is amazing enough just by summoning seven Heroic Spirits, but to think double that would be summoned! I’m so thrilled I can’t wait.
Caules: Damn it! This is no longer a regular Holy Grail War.
Page 45:
Caules: Seven Servants summoned by the Association, and seven Servants summoned by us. It’s going to turn into a “great war” between these two camps. This gamble is far too dangerous.
Fiore: But Caules, I’m relieved that I won’t have to fight you, my younger brother.
Caules: That’s…
Page 46:
Fiore: To realize the dearest wish of our clan— for Yggdmillennia to prosper for a thousand years, that much danger is unavoidable. At least, that’s what Grandfather Darnic must think. —I also have the resolve to fight for the sake of granting my wish with the Holy Grail.
Caules: …

Black Masters: Let silver and steel be the essence. Let stone and the archduke of contracts be the foundation. Let “black” be the color I pay tribute to. Let rise a wall against the wind that shall fall. Let the four cardinal gates close. Let the three-forked road from the crown reaching unto the Kingdom rotate.
Page 51:
Black Masters:
Let each be turned over five times, simply breaking asunder the fulfilled time.
Page 52:
Black Masters: —Let it be declared now. Your flesh shall serve under me. And my fate shall be with your sword. Submit to the beckoning of the Holy Grail. Answer, if you would submit to this will and this truth.
Page 53:
Black Masters: An oath shall be sworn here. I shall attain all virtues of all of Heaven. I shall have dominion over all evils of all of Hell.
Caules: Yet you shall serve with your eyes clouded by chaos. For you would be one caged in madness. I shall wield your chains.

Black Masters: —From the Seventh Heaven, attended to by three great words of power, come forth from the ring of restraint,
