With the promise of granting any wish, the omnipotent Holy Grail triggered three wars in the past, each too cruel and fierce to leave a victor. In spite of that, the wealthy Einzbern family is confident that the Fourth Holy Grail War will be different; namely, with a vessel of the Holy Grail now in their grasp. Solely for this reason, the much hated "Magus Killer" Kiritsugu Emiya is hired by the Einzberns, with marriage to their only daughter Irisviel as binding contract.
Kiritsugu now stands at the center of a cutthroat game of survival, facing off against six other participants, each armed with an ancient familiar, and fueled by unique desires and ideals. Accompanied by his own familiar, Saber, the notorious mercenary soon finds his greatest opponent in Kirei Kotomine, a priest who seeks salvation from the emptiness within himself in pursuit of Kiritsugu.
Based on the light novel written by Gen Urobuchi, Fate/Zero depicts the events of the Fourth Holy Grail War—10 years prior to Fate/stay night. Witness a battle royale in which no one is guaranteed to survive.

Where it came from
Fate/Zero was produced by studio Ufotable and released in 2011 as a prequel to the visual novel Fate/stay night. Written by Gen Urobuchi and directed by Ei Aoki, the series chronicles the Fourth Holy Grail War, a clandestine battle between seven mages and their summoned heroic spirits. The production was highly anticipated by fans of the franchise, aiming to provide a darker, more philosophical exploration of the series' lore than its predecessor.
The series is widely recognized for its high production values, characterized by Ufotable's signature blend of traditional hand-drawn animation and complex digital effects. The character designs were adapted from Takashi Takeuchi’s original concepts, which were refined to match the mature tone of the narrative. Upon release, Fate/Zero received significant critical acclaim, particularly for its complex character motivations and the cinematic quality of its action sequences, effectively expanding the mainstream reach of the Fate franchise.
