History Trivia / FateStayNightUnlimitedBladeWorks

* FanNickname: For the series itself: ''Fate[=/=]stay hype [[VisualEffectsOfAwesome [Unlimited Budget Works] ]]''

* TheOtherDarrin: The Japanese cast only had one change to be made. Kazuhiro Nakata, who voiced Kuzuki in the 2006 anime, was unable to reprise his role due to health issues and was replaced with Creator/MasakiTerasoma.

* TheOtherDarrin: Most of the English dub cast from the original 2006 series do not reprise their roles this time around, the following have been re-casted:

* RelationshipVoiceActor: Almost everybody from the English Dub Cast came from LightNovel/{{Durarara}} in one way or the other. For instance [[Creator/BrycePapenbrook Shirou is Masaomi]], [[Creator/KariWahlgren Saber is Celty]], [[Creator/MelaLee Rin is Erika]], [[Creator/CrispinFreeman Kirei is Shizuo]], [[Creator/CristinaVee Sakura is Ruri]], [[Creator/DavidVincent Gilgamesh is Seiji]], and the list goes on and on.

** Ayako Mitzururi: Minx Lee to Creator/BrinaPalencia

* RoleReprisal: [[Creator/MelaLee Rin Tohsaka]], [[Creator/StephanieSheh Illya Einzbern]], [[Creator/JulieAnnTaylor Taiga Fujimura]] and [[Creator/TonyOliver Lancer]] are the only ones to retain their original dub voices from the first Stay Night series. Also, most of the recasts from FateZero have also stuck ([[Creator/KariWahlgren Saber]], [[Creator/DavidVincent Gilgamesh]], etc etc)

** A minor yet meaningful detail in the finale of the series is that [[spoiler: when Shirou goes to the Middle East like Archer did]] he looks the same, just older, which means that [[spoiler: Shirou only began to change his colours of skin and hair after the pact with Alaya]].
*** No, you're wrong about that on. We don't really know what that ending fully meant, not even when it was. Nasu himself clarified that [[spoiler: Archer's different hair, eye and skin color WERE a result of over-using Projection Magic, causing a rebound effect]].

* GeniusBonus: If you look more closely at the container of the Grail before Gilgamesh activates it, you will notice it resembles a face, whose? Angra Mainyuu's one.

* TheOtherDarrin: Effectively in the English dub where Rider was once voiced by Creator/KarenStrassman, here she is voiced by Creator/MelissaFahn. Creator/ToddHaberkorn effectively took over Assassin from Creator/DavidVincent although justified because he played another role in the form of Gilgamesh. Creator/BrycePapenbrook has been newly cast as Shiro Emiya, who was voiced previously by Creator/SamRiegel. Creator/CristinaVee was cast once more as Sakura Matou, who was previously voiced by Creator/SherryLynn, and the list goes on and on.
** Zig-zag with Saber. She was first voiced by Creator/KateHiggins in the first animated version of Fate Stay Night. She then got Darrin by Creator/MichelleRuff for UBW movie and once more by Creator/KariWahlgren for Fate Zero and who is voicing her again in this adaptation.

*** While Rin claimed that she was able to summon Archer by simply using her supercharged pendant to brute force summon a random Servant, Archer clarifies that that wasn't the case [[spoiler:and confirmed the theory that the pendant itself is the catalyst for Heroic Spirit Emyia.]]

*** Heroic Spirits ''cannot'' be summoned without a catalyst. In the VN, Rin states that she simply used her father's pendant supercharged with mana to get around this rule, leading some fans to believe that you can summon without a catalyst to get a hero compatible with the summoner. [[spoiler:Archer confirms the theory that the pendant ''was'' the catalyst to summon Heroic Spirit Emiya.]]

** Shirou's memories in episode 20 manages to discredit some theories about him that the fans made.

* {{Jossed}}: Archer's speech in episode 19 josses a few old fan theories (some of these theories were formulated as far back as the time of the original DEEN anime or even earlier):
** Heroic Spirits ''cannot'' be summoned without a catalyst. In the VN, Rin states that she simply used her father's pendant supercharged with mana to get around this rule, leading some fans to believe that you can summon without a catalyst to get a hero compatible with the summoner. [[spoiler:Archer confirms the theory that the pendant ''was'' the catalyst to summon Heroic Spirit Emiya.]]
** He also cleared up his backstory, namely [[spoiler:that he was ultimately killed by hanging rather than having a glorious death in Unlimited Blade Works.]] While this was already confirmed in ''VideoGame/FateExtra'', that was also an alternate reality spin-off that already had [[BroadStrokes noticeable differences to the original story.]]
