History WMG / CarnivalPhantasm

* Evolution is not a Neco Arc at all; he's just someone (possibly Mikiya from ''LightNovel/TheGardenOfSinners'') cosplaying as a cat.

* Jossed. Zouken shows up in ''LightNovel/FateZero'', which is compatible with all routes.

* She uses her ultimate ability, the power to [[WindsofDestinyChange alter probability]], just to troll Ciel? That's actually quite plausible.

---> Ciel: "You're doing this on purpose, aren't you!?"
---> Arcueid: "Can you tell?"
---> Ciel: "Why you..."

[[WMG: Everything in Carnival Phantasm is all part of Arcueid's dreams after going to back to sleep after her true end in Tsukihime.]] obligatory Grimdark WMG.

** Confirmed by [[VisualNovel/FateHollowAtaraxia hollow ataraxia]].

* The hand is clearly female from looking at it and, if the credits were longer the chain could easily continue on into Fate/Zero with Saber and Iris being the connecting points between the two. Or, the final hand is Shiki Ryougi's, representing the Origin of everything that the Nasuverse can be traced back to in the end.

[[WMG: Like with Fate/Hollow Ataraxia the events of Carnival Phantasm are caused by Rin performing experiments on reality.]]

[[WMG: Carnival Phantasm is Canon]]
* Red Saber clearly recognizes Blue Saber in VideoGame/FateExtella and calls her as such. The only place they ever met within the Nasuverse is the [=HibiChika=] Special.

* Evolution is not a Neco Arc at all; he's just someone (possibly Mikiya from ''LightNovel/KaraNoKyoukai'') cosplaying as a cat.

Just to screw with Ciel.

* Sort of silly considering how well she's treated in many things, likely just a Nasu reference. Now if it was Kohaku (backstory), Lancer (especially because of this show), Ciel (mainly side material treatment), SAKURA (backstory and general treatement in side materials), and some others, that'd make more sense.

** Then explain why we see him sitting next to Roa outside the party in the final episode in the final scene while Neko Arc herself is clearly inside, would you?

This is hinted at in Episode 6. Neco Arc muses on whether the Neco spirits are siblings since they all have the same face. Some ominous music comes up, making both Neco Arc and Neco Arc Babbles very nervous, although Neco Arc Chaos and Neco Arc Destiny don't show any visible reaction. But the implication is that if that were so, [[SiblingIncest something would be very wrong ...]]

* For all we know, Zouken doesn't leave the basement if he doesn't have to, as he's kinda old. And it's very likely that his inability to participate in the 5th Heaven's Feel in other routes was caused by him not succeeding at summoning True Assassin (which, along with Sakura not willing to fight, handicapped him greatly) and Ilyasviel always being closer than Sakura to defeated Servants (which meant Sakura wouldn't become the grail, and that was his ultimate purpose in the ritual [or so he thought]). And Taiga does mention in the other routes that she was talking with Sakura's grandfather, so he does exist there.

* Shielder has been lurking around since the inception of ''Fate'', and had been heavily mooted as a possible addition to the Deen anime. And at the time ''CP'' was produced, had just finished shopping around ''Apocrypha'' as an MMO project and decided to make it a light novel series instead, but they do seem to have kept the game flame alive. This was possibly a distance tease for what TM wanted to do next.

* We see Taiga, Iskander and Gilgamesh throwing back beers...I smell a love triangle!

* Jossed. Zouken shows up in Fate/Zero, which is compatible with all routes.
** And ''double'' Jossed by Hollow Ataraxia.

*** Isn't FateHollowAtaraxia a "dream sequence", though?

* Since Hollow Ataraxia strongly implies that Rin is responsible for all of the scenarios coming together, what's to say she hasn't been conducting more of the same experiment?
