-> ''Saving a falling youth. That is certainly the role of a maiden, namely, this would generally be the start of a story of love and hope, where “boy meets girl”! After this, you should be flirting around while trying your best and struggling to correct the singularity! How marvellous, how truly splendid! However! How-e-ver! Too bad! The one that has saved you is neither an earnest young boy nor a pretty young girl! But a suspicious-looking bearded old man!''
-->-- '''James Moriarty'''
After resolving the Incineration of the Human Order, Chaldea suddenly detects a singularity in Shinjuku, Tokyo, 1999 AD. With the protagonist as the only Master on call, da Vinci decides to go ahead and let them Rayshift there to save the world one more time. Unfortunately, a magic barrier interferes with their entry and they end up in free fall above the cityscape before a mysterious man saves them...

!!Tropes:
* CardCarryingVillain: Moriarty proudly describes himself as this, his plan to destroy the world is both an attempt to beat Holmes for once and just to see if he truly can destroy the world.
* {{Crossdresser}}: Either the protagonist is DisguisedInDrag or SweetPollyOliver at a formal party they sneak their way into, depending on which gender you picked. The trailer shows that the female protagonist wears the "Fate/Accel Zero Order" Mystic Code but the male protagonist's dress is never shown on-screen.
* CoolOldGuy: Moriarty despite being one of the most famous arch-enemies in fiction, is laid back and hilarious when he's lost his memories even if he still has his ruthless streak.
* TheDarkSideWillMakeYouForget: Lobo muses as he's dying that because he was so driven by his hatred of humanity, he can no longer remember his home, the Currumpaw plains instead now the corrupted Shinjuku is his home.
* DebutQueue: Emiya Alter is added to the summoning gacha after completing the episode.
* TheDreaded: Everyone is horrified by Hessian Lobo with his bark being seen as an universal sign in Shinjuku to run.
* EverybodyLives: Surprisingly, despite the darker direction all of the Servant allies live to the end of the Singularity. The only "exception" is Moriarty himself, who was one of the real villains and using a MemoryGambit and needs to be put down.
* GameplayAndStorySegregation: Mash joins the MissionControl staff because she lost her powers as a Servant, but she is still playable in-game.
* GoodFeelsGood: Upon his defeat, Moriarty can't help but admit that his time as the Protagonist's ally was genuinely enjoyable in its own right and not just for the sake of his EvilPlan.
* HeadlessHorseman: ''The'' Headless Horseman shows up, though it's too weak as an urban legend to become a full-fledged Servant and needs Lobo to become a Servant. The party initially thinks that it is in control as a Rider but it's later revealed that Lobo is in control, even before they become an Avenger.
* HeroesLoveDogs: To soften Altria Alter, she's shown to have adopted an adorable white dog in Shinjuku, even naming it and is very defensive of him.
* HomeBase: Saber Alter temporarily sets up shop in the basement of a fast food chain restaurant and it serves as Chaldea's base of operations for the protagonist and their Servants in Shinjuku.
* MemoryGambit: Moriarty pulls an impressive one as part of his and Baal's scheme. Both lose their memories in order to play out a role, Moriarty becoming an affable old man that joins Holmes and the Protagonist's side as "Moriarty's good half", and Baal pretending to be "Moriarty's evil half" that serves as TheHeavy. Their trap springs when "evil Moriarty" is defeated and their memories return, allowing Moriarty to backstab Holmes and guide his the 7th bullet of Der Freischütz in the form of a meteor, which targets the person most important to him, towards the Protagonist whom he'd formed a bond with. The only thing he didn't count on was the Protagonist defeating him before the meteor could land.
* MissionControl: Mash is demoted to this because the loss of her powers makes it too dangerous for her to go out in the field.
* MortonsFork: When the protagonist is asked by Altria if they have any food to feed Cavall II, the player has two options: chocolate and an onion, both of which are harmful to dogs and will end up with the protagonist getting berated.
* MythologyGag:
** Altria references Cu Chulainn's hawaiian shirt from ''[[VisualNovel/FateHollowAtaraxia Fate/hollow ataraxia]]'' when justifying her change of clothes to match Shinjuku.
** The manga adaptation has Jeanne Alter do ''Fate'''s signature "I ask of you, are you my Master?" scene except this time with her asking the protagonist to form a contract with her.
* OutOfCharacterAlert:
** "Hassan of Cursed Arm" requests an alcoholic drink from the Archer of Shinjuku, a clue of his imposter status since as a devout Muslim Hassan would abstain from drinking. Unfortuently, the protagonist fails to realize this before "Hassan" reveals himself to be the Assassin of Shinjuku.
** Edmond Dantes naming himself as such, tips off the protagonist that it’s an imposter, since Dantes never refers to himself by name instead calling himself the Cavern King.
* SignificantWardrobeShift: Jeanne Alter reveals that she can just casually change clothes whenever she feels like it and this is the first time Servants start wearing outfits besides their three ascension forms.
* SitcomArchNemesis: Altria Alter and Jeanne Alter's rivalry returns but they tone it down because of the protagonist. While they would be happy to murder each other, they instead just take every chance to mocking each other. Altria proudly announcing to Jeanne Alter that she got a Master is even [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything played like a girl feeling triumphant for getting a boyfriend before her rival can]].
* TheoryOfNarrativeCausality: Moriarty can't defeat Holmes conventionally because the narrative logic of Doyle's stories dictate that he will always be outwitted by the end. Due to this, his plan to avoid that has him fully assimilate into the party as one of the good guys and to backstab Holmes when he ''thinks'' the story has been resolved.
%%* {{Tsundere}}
* UrbanFantasy: Notably the one time ''Grand Order'' dips into this territory thus far with Servants duking it out at late night and a magical criminal conspiracy taking control of the city.
* WhyAreYouLookingAtMeLikeThat: Altria Alter says this on behalf of her dog Cavall II when the others realize Cavall looks a lot like a white wolf, the exact description of Lobo's decease mate Blanca.
