History Funny / FateHollowAtaraxia

* The track-and-field trio [[DidntThinkThisThrough makes the questionable decision]] of asking Taiga if Shirou could be dating Ayako. She immediately goes into a [[LargeHam ham-stastic]] [[TheRant rant]] about how Shirou's life is already too much of a RomCom for that. Creator/MikiIto (Taiga's VA) [[ChewingTheScenery chews the scenery]] with ''gusto'' in that scene, especially the parts where she impersonates other characters.

'''Shirou:''' [to himself] Speed of about Mach 2, and distance of around 40 km...

--->'''Avenger:''' Sure, 'course I want to continue living for a bit longer. But you know, I won't be satisfied if I don't right what's wrong. This wish is wrong, right? So I have to stop it. I'm a ''hero of justice'', y'see. I value others who I don't even care about over myself.
--->Narration: Dumbstruck, she stares at me. Believe me, the feeling's absolutely mutual.
--->'''Bazett:''' --- I can't believe it. Are you sane?
--->'''Avenger:''' Hm ... yep, looks like I'm really sane and serious about this. Seriously, this guy's a total monster.
* In an extra epilogue, Bazett and Caren convince Rin to give them a few minutes alone with him. She leaves the room, urging him to "bear with it." After making a [[DeadpanSnarker sarcastic remark]] (which reminds the two women of a certain servant), Shirou gets a bad feeling and [[ScrewThisImOutOfHere tries to make a break for it]], only for Caren to use her Holy Shroud to restrain him. In the next scene, Shirou is represented with Avenger's sprite. They'd stripped him down and used an oil pen to cover his skin in copies of Avenger's tattoos.

* Caster and Rider at one point get into argument stated by Caster noting how much she does around the house. Saber attempts to defuse the argument, and suceeds. Because Rider and Caster turn their focus to chewing out Saber for [[PrettyFreeloaders not doing any work]], and Saber can't even defend herself. The two of them must still be sore about the routes where Saber killed them.

* It turns out the events of ''LightNovel/FateZero'' have left Saber traumatized enough to affect her eating habits:

** The icing on the cake in that scene is Shirou enthusiastically talking about doing all the pool-related activities that "can't be done in public without bothering others" while mentally enumerating stuff like having a barbecue, playing with inflatable toys, and so on. Problem is, Tohsaka is not a mind reader and Shirou's words were misleading enough to make her think he was planning on having a [[TwoPersonPoolParty pool-themed]] ten-person ''orgy''. [[DiggingYourselfDeeper He even tells her that they'll take care not to disturb her work while using her pool.]]

** When the game asks you "Which of these things is not like the others?" between Sakura, Rin and Leysritt, you could be inclined to answer the latter because the other two are human mages and even sisters while Liz is an ArtificialHuman instead. However, the correct answer is "Rin." Why? The game doesn't say, but the most likely possibility is that BuxomIsBetter.

** Shirou feeling embarrassed when a kid points and laughs at the stalking duo. Caster threatens the kid to go away or get [[BalefulPolymorph turned into a pig]], and given that Medea could in fact know how to do it (she ''is'' [[Literature/TheOdyssey Circe's]] niece after all), Shirou steps in to defuse the situation.

* RuleOfSexy aside, ever wondered why Rider wears a MinidressOfPower with a DangerouslyShortSkirt as part of her Servant outfit? Well, the answer is equal parts [[FridgeBrilliance logical]] and [[HilariousInHindsight ridiculous]]: Rider's black dress turns out to be a hand-me-down from her sisters, the eternally youthful Stheno and Euryale, and she just outgrew it. Living in an otherwise uninhabited island and having [[BigBrotherBully bullies for older sisters]] meant that Medusa simply didn't have anything else to wear.

** Misery loves company, so Tohsaka goes and gets the only person who's as bad as her with technology to use the bidet -- [[spoiler:Saber]].

*** And then [[spoiler:Issei and Ayako walk in and catch her dressed like that...]]

** How they actually left the box. [[spoiler:They've been trapped for so long, Rin has to go to the bathroom. A painfully embarrassed Shirou offers to project a bedpan, only succeeding in infuriating Rin to the point of actually grabbing and activating Ruby.]]
** The incident that made Tohsaka stash [[spoiler:the Kaleidostick]] in the magical chest and swear to never get it out again. [[spoiler:Six years ago, Rin hiccuped at the worst possible time while singing a song in front of her classmates who laughed at her for it. Embarrassed as she was, the 11-year-old magus thought of impressing her friends with a mind-blowing repeat performance by using the Kaleidostick to [[InstantExpert access the abilities]] of a "Tohsaka Rin who is good at singing from a parallel universe". Being the JackassGenie that it is, Ruby gave Rin ''exactly'' what she asked by granting her the skills and personality of an AlternateSelf of hers who happened to be a [[GenkiGirl super perky]] IdolSinger. While still in her "Prim Trance", Rin went into town and all but hijacked a live performance in a park, jumping onto the stage and enthusiastically singing "like an idol from the eighties" for a numerous and very surprised audience, many of them kids around her age. Afterwards, Rin woke up in her room back to normal and with no memory of the incident except for a NoteToSelf telling her to NEVER contract Ruby again. From that day and on, all her friends started to avoid her while looking at her with a mix of second-hand embarrassment and genuine awe and she didn't learn the reason until she caught one of the fleeing kids and forced the truth out of him.]]

* Shirou discovers Rin and Saber looking through his room in search of his PornStash. They find something, and Saber is somewhat irritated when [[TheGadfly Rin]] observes that it doesn't have any blondes, but then Shirou comes in and tells them it was a gift from Shinji he hid, and Rin storms off in a huff. [[spoiler:Shirou is relieved that they didn't find his ''actual'' PornStash, which is implied to include blondes.]]

** Eventually, Shirou and Shinji try to escape the room in panic, only to encounter [[spoiler:[[SuperpoweredEvilSide Dark]]]] Sakura [[spoiler:and end up in a scene that wouldn't have looked out of place in [[VisualNovel/FateStayNight the original Heaven's Feel route]]]].

* Illya: [[spoiler:Loli Grail]].

** When the game asks you "Which of these things is not like the others?" between Sakura, Rin and Leysritt, you could be inclined to answer the latter because the other two are human mages [[spoiler:and even sisters]] while Liz is an ArtificialHuman instead. However, the correct answer is "Rin." Why? The game doesn't say, but the most likely possibility is that BuxomIsBetter.

In the next scene, Shirou is represented with [[spoiler: Avenger's sprite. They'd stripped him down and used an oil pen to cover his skin in copies of Avenger's tattoos]].

* Shirou meets Gilgamesh in the cavern of the Greater Grail, which Gil is exploring as part of his "kingly duties". After a bit of brief conversation, Gil goes back to exploring...and gets stuck in the mud pouring out of the Greater Grail, even though Shirou warned him not to touch it. Then, in a scene mirroring the climax to Unlimited Blade Works, Gil throws one end of Enkidu to Shirou to help pull himself out. When Shirou decides to leave rather than help, Gil calls Shirou out for ignoring his "duties as a citizen". Shirou snarkily responds that maybe he should go get Saber's help, which Gilgamesh hastily turns down, then begs (well, as close to begging as Gilgamesh ever gets) Shirou not to tell her.

In the next scene, Shirou is represented with [[spoiler: Avenger's sprite. They'd stripped him down and used an oil pen to cover his skin in copies of Avenger's tattoos]].
** Later in the epilogue, Bazett and Shirou play a game of Rock Paper Scissors. One of the rules is that if one of them waits to see what their opponent uses before picking their move, they automatically lose. Bazett waits for Shirou to play, [[MundaneUtility then uses Fragarach to retroactively go before him, thus winning the game.]]

* Shirou spots Rider pacing around in front of the shed and assumes she wants to use one of his bikes to sneak out. He opens the shed for her and lets her use Number Two, the bike he uses for groceries... except she wants Number One, his racing bike. She wants to put her Riding skill to some good use, you see? But Number Two can only go so fast and Number One is the only other bike that can accomplish she what she wants! Shirou understandably tells her no and to use Number Two, but when she still refuses, he suggests that maybe she could use Raiga's motorbike... but she'll have to take a course and get a bike license first. Cue the ImagineSpot of a chibi Rider on a motorcycle getting pursued by the cops (and Shirou realizing that she'd probably outrun the cops anyways). Rider instead [[DistractedByTheSexy tries to appeal to Shirou in another way]]... until she realizes Sakura was watching them (the whole time, in fact) and quickly acts as if nothing happened and accepts having to use Number Two. Afterwards, Shirou tries to assure Sakura that it isn't what she thinks.

* Shirou tries to get Ilya's permission to borrow her castle to have date with Sakura.
-->'''Shirou''': I know it's rather sudden, but I want to have dinner here, just two of us.

* Saber: Shirou. I'd like to try on this swimsuit. Will you tell me how it looks?"

* When Shirou invites Illya to the pool, Sella immediately objects, saying that it's not proper for a lady like the daughter of the Einzbern to go to a public place like Waku Waku Splash. Illya easily counters this by saying she [[ScrewTheRulesIHaveMoney will rent the whole place for the day]], thus making it "private" and invalidting the point Sella was trying to make.

* It turns out the events of ''Anime/FateZero'' have left Saber traumatized enough to affect her eating habits:

** The incident that made Tohsaka stash [[spoiler:the Kaleidostick]] in the magical chest and swear to never get it out again. [[spoiler:Six years ago, Rin hiccuped at the worst possible time while singing a song in front of her classmates who laughed at her for it.

** When Caster confesses that she drafted Shirou as her stalking companion because she somehow got the idea that she would look like a mistress obsessing over Kuzuki if the police stops her. Shirou tells her that she only has to say she's the guy's wife because they're in fact legally married. Getting called "Kuzuki Medea" gets Caster into what can only be called a ''joygasm'', twirling around in utter happiness while drawn in SuperDeformed style.

'''Caster:''' ''[blushes]'' ''[smiles to herself in reminiscence]'' ''[blushes some more]'' ''[suddenly remembers she's got an audience]'' Shut your mouth, you stray mutt! Mongrel! Cur! Dog that can't be tamed should be chopped up and used as shark bait!

'''Shirou:''' The table, you're stabbing the table! Put it away! Put way that strange blade!
** Lancer and Taiga starts to discuss fishing. [[FirstPersonSmartass Shirou's narration is on point]]:

--But as that was impossible, we stealthily creep across the floor, towards the washrooms, and tumble out from a narrow windows, thus putting an end to our surveillance mission.
* TIGER - THE MOVIE! You will ''die'' laughing!

*** Made with even funnier right afterwards, when Rin starts talking about going to Waku Waku Park on a date and tosses some bold, lewd insinuations at Shirou, with the clear intent of getting him to agree to the arrangement. Forget being a CovertPervert, Miss Honor Student has fully embraced her sexuality at this point. Obviously, Shirou is still too much of an idiot to understand what's going on and STILL asks if it's okay for him to bring Saber along. Rin's patience is akin to a saint's at this point.

* While talking with Lancer and Kid Gil under the bridge the topic somehow becomes about Shirou preferring the kid version of Gilgamesh over the adult; which Lancer misunderstands for something else. After Shirou vehemently denies that, [[HypocriticalHumor Kid Gil states that he isn't one to talk due to his reaction to Illya back when they had a pool party]].

* Rin realizing mid-conversation that the whole reason why she dropped everything in London to return to Fuyuki in a hurry was because she received a SOS letter telling her that "Emiya-kun" needed her help. Only then the {{Tsundere}} noticed that kind of message she was sending about how important he is to her and [[VerbalBackspace quickly corrects herself]] by saying it was because dealing with problems in Fuyuki falls under her responsibility.

** When the game asks you "Which of these things is not like the others?" between Sakura, Rin and Leysritt, you could be inclined to answer the latter because the other two are human mages [[spoiler:and even sisters]] while that Liz is an ArtificialHuman instead. However, the correct answer is "Rin." Why? The game doesn't say, but the most likely possibility is that BuxomIsBetter.

--->'''Quiz Ogre:''' Splendidly done! Just what I expected from a Fate [=PhD=] like you…! Now, in recognition of you vast store of useless knowledge, allow me to bestow upon you this reward.

* Shirou and Rin trying to find Saber's "gekirin", a weakness in Oriental dragons that causes them to go berserk. They end up bringing out Alt!Saber. It has to be seen to be believed: [[https://youtu.be/3jPXQsQjIMc]]

* Rin and Shirou accidentally awakening Saber's SuperPoweredEvilSide by cutting off her IdiotHair.

* Rider calmly discusses her defeat and death, including being trapped in a nightmare by her own powers being reflected. Then Shirou asks her what the nightmare was, and she hesitates to answer, at first, and then refuses to answer. It was was her elder sisters making fun of her for [[HugeSchoolgirl being tall]].

* Rider calmly discusses her defeat and death, including being trapped in a nightmare by her own powers being reflected. Then Shirou asks her what the nightmare was, and she hesitates to answer, at first. When she gets down to it, we learn it was was her elder sisters making fun of her for [[HugeSchoolgirl being tall]].

** The circumstances of the letter are a SugarWiki/{{Funny Moment|s}} on their own. In a previous loop (or on that same day, depending on how you play), Shirou wondered aloud if Sakura could mention in her regular correspondence with Rin that something seems to have restarted the Holy Grail War despite none of the Servants really wanting to fight. However Shirou takes it back when he realizes -- also aloud -- that having Rin back in town could probably cause more problems than it would solve and tells Sakura to forget it until they hit the GodzillaThreshold. The kicker is that [[Troll Sakura]] dutifully wrote down ''everything Shirou was saying'' and sent it verbatim to London, making it look like Shirou was pretty much telling Tohsaka that "Yeah, we've got some trouble here, but don't bother to come back because you'd get in the way", which ''of course'' incensed Rin more than enough to fly to the other side of the world ASAP. Thankfully for Shirou, memories get blurry on the details from one cycle in the GroundhogDayLoop to the next.
