* ExponentialPlotDelay: A point often brought up by the detractors of the series is that the pacing seems to get slower as the series progresses. The story moves briskly in the first season, but the second will have entire episodes of only moving the pieces into place for an upcoming battle and singular yet extensive plot developments. Archer spends an episode monologuing about his motivations [[spoiler:before his fight with Shirou, and the battle itelf lasts for an episode and a half]]. Episode 23 consists of the MainCharacters sitting around a table discussing strategies to defeat the BigBad [[BleachedUnderpants before the not-sex-scene between Rin and Shirou]].

* {{Retcon}}: As the various adaptation entries show, there are many of them when comparing the anime to the original VN route, this is {{Justified|Trope}} though as later material, such as the previous ufotable adaptation ''Fate/Zero'', changed or contradicted what was shown in the original ''Fate/Stay Night'' so these tweaks were required for overall consistency.
** Illya was originally a [[NonActionGuy non-combatant]] in the VN, relying on Berserker for protection. In this adaptation however she's a fighter on her own right and capable of a more powerful magic than her mother Irisviel.
** [[spoiler:Gilgamesh]]'s characterisation is kept the same as in ''Fate/Zero'' instead of the outright antagonistic behaviour he showed in the original route.
** Saber's ability to keep up with Berserker relies on her memories of facing off the Black Knight in the previous war.

* PointOfDivergence:PointOfDivergence: In the beginning of the ''Fate'' route, Saber severely wounds Archer during their first confrontation outside Shirou's home, which puts him out of commission for much of that route. ''UBW'' splits from that path by having Shirou use a Command Seal to stop Saber before she injures Archer, which in turn allows Archer to take a far more proactive role in the events of the Holy Grail War.

* AdaptationExpansion: Aside from the references to ''Fate/Zero'', there are scenes exclusive to the anime that never ocurred in the original visual novel. 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.

* AdaptationExpansion: Aside While Nasu's stance is that the ''Fate/Zero'' light novel is set in an alternate continuity from the ''Fate/stay night'' visual novel on account of the discrepancies between them, Ufotable's adaptation of ''Unlimited Blade Works'' incorporates several references to ''Fate/Zero'', scenes from their ''Fate/Zero'' anime in order to tie them together as part of the same continuity. In addition to these, there are scenes exclusive to the anime that never ocurred in the original visual novel.
