History Anime / FateExtraLastEncore

* AdaptationalModesty: Saber's dress hangs lower to avoid her perpetual PantyShot [[labelnote:Technically]] [[http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v516/Sensui22/303d0226.jpg It's actually a]] LeotardOfPower that ''looks'' like a PantyShot, but the average viewer wouldn't know that[[/labelnote]] while still showing off [[ShesGotLegs her legs]].

* KillEmAll: [[spoiler:By the end of the show, every character we've met is dead, other than Rin Tohsaka. Further, most of the 256 masters on the Moon Cell were dead before the show even began, Twice has reduced Earth's population to around 100,000 over his 1,000 year reign, and Tohsaka is nothing but a [[BrainUploading digitized soul]], with her physical body on Earth having died centuries ago.]]

** The artwork of playable Caster used in the sticker on Rin's drink cooler is same as seen in [[http://fate-go.cirnopedia.org/icons/essence/craft_essence_248.jpg her Max Bond Craft Essence]] in ''F/GO''. The drink itself is from the original ''Fate/Extra'' as an item that recovers 30 MP.

** The trauma of betrayal and mass murder in the first episode renders Hakuno colder and much more aloof than his video game counterpart.

* AntiHero: Hakuno makes it clear to Rin several times that he doesn't give a damn about the Holy Grail War or the fate of the world. All that matters to him is avenging the massacred students by destroying the Moon Cell.

** Hakuno is able to transfer some Mana to Saber with a kiss. The orginal Fate/Stay Night used sex for the same thing and other methods were implied. While such a thing isn't seen in the original game or in most installments of the franchise, the kissing version does happen all the time in ''Manga/FateKaleidLinerPrismaIllya'' (as a more child friendly version of the original).

* BiTheWay: The moment Shinji's police force arrives, Saber is gawking at how attractive they are as she states she loves both boys and girls.

* FuroScene: In the second episode, Hakuno takes a bath to heal from the damage that [[spoiler:Nameless]] caused last episode. Saber then joins him for no other reason than she wants to.

* BadFuture: While the 2030s in the original game were pretty dystopic, ''Last Encore'' is somehow ''worse''. In episode 4 we learn that [[spoiler:unlike the game, the anime takes place in the year ''3020'', almost a millennia later, and there are only 100,000 humans left on Earth. Mankind is well on its way to extinction. All this is happening is because [[PlayerCharacter Kishinami Hakuno]] ''lost'' to Saver.]]

* BigBad: Twice Pieceman, the winner of the previous Holy Grail War who now controls the Moon Cell [[spoiler:or actually his Dead Face, as Twice himself died after making his wish to the "holy grail", with only his regrets remaining. Like most digital zombies Twice's Dead Face is hell bent on destroying everything, using the Moon Cell to destroy Earth's environment and reduce the human population down to a mere 100,000. By the time of the show, he plans to destroy the Moon Cell as well, so humanity will have nowhere to escape to.]]

* BittersweetEnding: [[spoiler:Hakuno is erased resetting the Moon Cell, and Earth is still in ruins due to Harways involvement in the Overcount Mana Loss incident that doomed the earth before the original grail war, but now the few remaining bits of humanity that do not wish to die can find sanctuary in the Moon Cell, with a new cyberspace world and its infinite resources waiting for them when they come. The show ends with Rin, the SoleSurvivor, setting off into the restored Moon Cell to build a new future.]]
