7	!!'''This fic provides examples of the following tropes, in addition to those already present in the source material:'''
8
9	* ACupAngst: Rin, if her comment about Red Saber's "balloons" are anything to go by.
10	* AdaptationNameChange: Of a sort. Due to Nero being summoned as Saber, Arturia Pendragon becomes Lancer and Cú Chulainn becomes Berserker.
11	* AlternateUniverse: Naturally. When Archer realizes that the Saber Shirou got isn't Arturia Pendragon, he realizes that the timeline he's in is completely different form his own. His first clue was that the first Servant he fights is Assassin, who is able to leave Ryudou Temple, instead of Lancer.
12	* AnArmAndALeg: Assassin cuts off Shinji's hand. After Rider takes him to safety, Zouken uses his worms to reattach it.
13	%%* AttentionWhore: Red Saber, as in Fate Extra.
14	* BareHandedBladeBlock: Berserker catches Nero's FlamingSword and doesn't flinch even though it cuts and burns his hand.
15	%%* TheBerserker: Hi Cú Chulainn!
16	* BodyHorror: Berserker!Cú Chulainn's Noble Phantasm, Warp Spasm.
17	* ByTheHair: Nero ends her fight with Assassin by grabbing his ponytail and literally hurling him to the horizon.
18	* CoolSword: Excalibur and Aestus Estus.
19	* {{Facepalm}}: Lancer slaps her forehead when Illya casually reveals to Shirou, Rin, and their Servants that her real name is Arturia Pendragon.
20	* ForWantOfANail: The Einzbern summon Arturia for a second time using her legendary spear ''Rhongowennan'', so when Shirou is summoning and has Avalon as a catalyst, it brings him a similar hero... sort of.
21	* GratuitousLatin: Red Saber speaks this way a lot.
22	* HeroAntagonist: Bazett effectively becomes this since she's still alive but opposed to Shirou and Rin's alliance.
23	* IHatePastMe: [[FutureBadass Archer's]] dislike of Shirou is the same as it was in the original series.
24	* ImprobableAge: Bazett openly wonders if she's the only adult competing in the Grail War.
25	* InstantExpert: Red Saber can copy one of her opponent's skills, including Assassin's Presence Concealment and Lancer's Prana Burst.
26	* LargeHam: Shirou's thoughts regarding Red Saber's acting imply as much.
27	* LeotardOfPower: Red Saber again...with a perpetual PantyShot.
28	* MythologyGag: Just like in the visual novel, Shirou has an awkward encounter in the bathroom with Saber. This time though, ''he's'' the one in the tub.
29	%%* PimpedOutDress: Saber and Lancer.
30	* PlayingWithFire: Nero's Aestus Estus lets her light her sword on fire and release it as a blast.
31	* ThePowerOfActing: Red Saber, as a patron of the arts, has excellent acting skills.
32	** She convinces Taiga to let her stay in Shirou's house by pretending to be a traveler who lost all her money.
33	** She pretends Lancer's attack killed her, then takes Illya hostage and threatens to kill her unless Lancer backs down. After they leave, Saber remarks she's glad they fell for it because she really didn't want to kill a kid.
34	* RedOniBlueOni: [[ColourCodedForYourConvenience Saber and Lancer]]
35	* ShowerOfAwkward: In chapter 10, Shirou is getting into the bath when Saber shows up, completely naked, to do the same. She's disappointed to learn that not only is Japanese group bathing gender-segregated, but that Shirou does not seem to be a fan.
36	* ShownTheirWork: The author has clearly done a lot of research on Arthurian Mythology, integrating things that even Nasu left out.
37	* TelephonePolearm: Nero uses a lamppost as a weapon against Berserker.
38	* VillainTeamUp: Due to Berserker!Cú Chulainn attacking Kotomine before he can sneak attack Bazett, he instead kills Caster's Master, becoming her Master and the defacto master of Assassin as well.
39	* YouHaveFailedMe: Zouken threatens Shinji with this in chapter 10, claiming that the next time Shinji fails, Zouken will use him as his next body host.
