1* {{Adorkable}}: Rider has her moments.
2* ArcFatigue: The Grail War as a whole feels this because of the number of times Witch!Caster cheated death out of pure dumb luck on her part, or bad luck on the protagonists' part. It didn't help she was sitting on an actual "Blow up everything" button, KNEW it and was WILLING to use it.
3* CaptainObviousReveal: Based on his physical appearance, his choice in weaponry, and his stats, it becomes fairly obvious before TheReveal that Assassin is [[spoiler:Kiritsugu Emiya]].
4* HarsherInHindsight:
5** At first, Rin is EntertaininglyWrong when she thinks Archer is a future version of the Shirou she knows. It's no longer funny when she learns the truth and [[FreakOut becomes mentally unstable]] and emotionally destroyed over what she learns about him and the implications that she would be an utter failure at helping the man she loves, a mission she devoted herself to when she learned how "distorted" Shirou is.
6** ''VideoGame/FateGrandOrder'' makes both Princess!Medea and [[spoiler:Assassin Kiritsugu]] canon, but shows them in a much more tragic light.
7*** Rather than be the kind aspects of Princess Medea that remained after she became the Witch of Betrayal, Medea Lily is her ''before'' her heart was broken by Jason, leaving her hopelessly in love with the man who hurt her.
8*** Rather than being summoned as himself, [[spoiler:Assassin Kiritsugu is a version of himself who never met Irisviel, and became a heartless killer instead. [[GoneHorriblyRight His willingness to sacrifice others for the sake of the greater good even allowed him to become an agent of the Counter Force]], and its only because of that he could be summoned at all.]]
9** Chapter 41 has Archer mention a fiasco in Ukraine resulting in the second Cold War. Keep in mind that the entire fic was written ''before'' 2022.
10* HilariousInHindsight: Thanks to VideoGame/FateGrandOrder, Medea Lily and [[spoiler:Assassin Kiritsugu]] are now canon. However the context behind them is [[{{Tearjerker}} different]].
11** To say nothing of [[spoiler:Caster!Irisviel]] being a thing here.
