| 4 | * Shirou's nightmare in episode 8, where swords erupt out of his body, is uncannily similar to how the Apocalypse Virus manifests in ''Anime/GuiltyCrown''. Actually a recursive Shout-Out, as the transformation and other things in ''Guilty Crown'' are a Shout Out to Heaven's Feel, which is what this foreshadows. |
| 5 | * Gae Bolg smashing its way through Rho Aias's layers of shielding strongly resembles the way a certain [[Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion other]] [[Anime/RebuildOfEvangelion franchise's]] DeflectorShields shatter like glass when they are overwhelmed. |
| 6 | * Shinji [[spoiler: getting Illya's heart jammed into him by Gilgamesh and then promptly beginning to swell up like a horrific tumor]] strongly brings to mind Tetsuo's fate from the ''Manga/{{Akira}}'' movie. Viewers of more recent anime have also likened it to getting [[Anime/PsychoPass shot with a Dominator's Eliminator mode.]] Made funnier by the fact that Creator/TomokazuSeki also voices in that series. |
| 7 | * In Episode 22, we find out that Rin's first memory of [[spoiler: beginning to admire Shirou came when she saw him practicing a high jump over and over again after school.]] This may be a reference to how Mizuki becomes infatuated with Sano in ''Manga/HanaKimi'', which was one of the biggest shoujo manga being published at the time ''Fate/Stay Night'' was originally released in 2004. |
| 8 | ** This one may be more of a stretch, but there were some who noted that [[spoiler: the core of the Holy Grail rising out of the mass of flesh]] actually somewhat resembles [[Manga/AttackOnTitan the Colossal Titan.]] |
| 9 | * Episode 24 has lots more references to ''Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion'', including a [[CreepyCrosses cross-shaped giant explosion]] and a horrific [[AlienBlood bloody substance spilling out]] of a massive HumanoidAbomination and threatening to destroy the world a la LCL. |
| 10 | ** Rin and Shinji trapped in the mass of the Holy Grail nearly being crushed to death evokes Kaori's [[CruelAndUnusualDeath fate]] from, once again, ''Manga/{{Akira}}''. |
