HEY Newcomer to the Fate Universe. Hop in. This will take longer than you expected.

Explanation how the anime connect to each-other, brief explanations to get the concept of the series, you'll probably discover media that you did not know were part of the Nasuverse.

Since Fate as an anime has the biggest debate on how to watch it, the release order is the way to go.

Spoiler free :)

Hope you enjoy!

PART TWO is out.

On part two I'll also explain the time line of events in the description box.

...and really don't want to bother getting the actual Visual Novel to run on your PC (same).

Everything here is listed in order of what I believe is the best way to navigate through the Nasuverse. Part 1 primarily covers the main TYPE-MOON/Nasuverse works with some of the more important spinoffs.


PLEASE view this stack in the detailed list layout to see my notes with my reasoning for placements, alternate placements, etc.

SOME MAIN TERMINOLOGY YOU NEED TO KNOW BEFORE GETTING INTO FATE:
1.Nasuverse: It is a fan nickname referring to the shared setting of a number of TYPE-MOON (game company that produces visual novels also) works. Their works are adapted in manga form, light novels and anime.
2.Holy Grail War: The Holy Grail War is a competition where in the end the Greater Holy Grail is achieved. Basically a wish-granter that uses a relic (a cup) that received the blood of Christ. 7 Masters who use magic to summon 7 servants (one for each) to fight among themselves until one pair gets left.
3.Master: They are a magus. They do usually come from a long family lineage of magus. They participate in the Holy Grail war by forming a contract with a servant. They have 3.a) Magic Circuits (think of it like veins and arteries but for magic to flow through). A master provides magical energy for their servants.
They use a 3.b) COMMAND SPELL - Masters have three of them. If a magus uses it, the servant is obliged to fulfill any command that comes from their master. It is usually saved to command a servant to commit suicide in order to reach the root via the Greater Holy Grail.
4.Servant (also known as Heroic Spirit)- They are historical, myths or legend figures that have achieved great deeds in their lifetime and are summoned by Masters to fight alongside them in the Holy Grail
They are placed in classed
SABER , LANCER, ARCHER, RIDER, CASTER, ASSASSIN, BERSERKER. - Each of these main seven classes has a GRAND class. A GRAND (saber/lancer etc) servant is summoned to prevent mankind extinction.
And there are extra classes. Here are the main ones.
RULER- oversees the Holy Grail War and does not have any desire for it.
AVENGER - They are founded on vengeance, born from powerful resentment that does not fade even after death.
ALTER EGO - Alter Egos are a phenomenon where one persona of a Heroic Spirit gains independence as a separate entity.
SHIELDER - They utilize shields.
Pseudo-Servants - are Servants that have manifested utilizing humans as their vessels. (The servant controls the human body)
Demi-Servants - are conceptual humans who have taken the Heroic Spirits into their bodies, functioning as Servants. (The human controls their bodies.
After they die during a Holy Grail War, their souls are stored in the Lesser Grail.
When they die in real life their soul gets transported to the Throne of Heroes that resides outside of the World. From here servants can be summoned in different parallel timelines. When summoned the servants are just copies of their Throne of Heroes body. So if they are summoned again, or in another timeline they are just a copy with no memories of other previous holy grail wars they fought in.
5.Grail Vessel (Lesser Holy Grail): It is designed to intake defeated Servants. Up until the third Grail War, the vessel for the Grail was a literal "cup". However, during the events of the third War it was damaged. Irisvel and Illya were created to be the physical embodiment of the Lesser Grail.
6.Greater Holy Grail: The prize after the completion of the War that grants a wish. It needs mana to be activated (that is why the War usually happens every 60 years). Once the vessel is filled with seven (or six) servants, the Greater Grail opens a hole to Akasha.(see no.16)
7.Noble Phantasm: Trump card for Servants. These are very strong abilities that they have, unique to their own.
8.Holy Church: a group of people who target people who insult God, kill, twist laws of nature etc. So they do get involved in the Holy Grail War to keep peace of mankind since they see it as an irregularity.
9.Mage Association: an organization formed, to hide and develop Magecraft.
10.The Root: is a metaphysical location that is the source of all events and phenomenons of the universe. It exists outside of time. It has all information, events, past, present and future. The ultimate ambition for a Magi is to reach this root to obtain all knowledge (one way which they try to reach it is via the Holy Grail).
11.Reality Marbel: A created world that is completely cut off from normal reality. It can only be used for a few minutes because the world will seek to crush it.
It is responsible for the Projection and Reinforcement abilities. Some can be activated inside the body of the user. (E.g. Emiya Shirou in Fate/HF)
12.Chaldeas - Utilized by Chaldea Security Organization in the World of Fate/Grand Order for the purpose of saving humanity. CHALDEAS can be used to look 100 years into the future. It is a form of intelligent machine with characteristics of a black hole. Humans can not go into contact with it. It recreates planet Earth in miniature which is 100 years into the future (its world copy is set in 2117) that is why people can look so far.
It is located in Chaldea Headquarters in Antarctica.
With this machine singularities can be discovered.
Laplace- Monitors the past.
Sheba- Observes in detail the information in Chaldeas and displays it in a monitor.
Fate- Summons Heroic Spirits
Trismegistus- utilized in reyshiftin (timetravel)
13.Singularities: Important for the Fate/ Grand Order anime. Singularities are unobservable regions that do not exist within Chaldea's recorded history. A Holy Grail is given to a certain individual within a key historical time period, typically someone who will use it to cause major disruption to history. The future is reduced to a mass of arbitrary possibilities. The era in which the Singularity manifests in will be destroyed completely under the strain of the impossible events that the Singularity forces into existence, causing the end of history itself.
The power of the Grails and the circumstances within the Singularities allow for the summoning of Servants and their continued existence in the world, even without a Master. Master-less servants are summoned by the Grail itself as a reaction to its abuse.
*Singularity F - that happens in Fuyuki City 2004 AD (Fate/Grand Order First Order)
First Singularity - France year 1431
Second singularity - Roman Empire Year 60
Third Singularity - Okeanos Year 1573
Fourth Singularity - London Year 1888
Fifth Singularity - North America 1784
*Sixth Singualarity - Fate/Grand Order: Divine Realm of the Round Table - Camelot 1273
*Seventh Singularity - Mesopotamia 2655 BC
*Final Singularity - Fate/Grand Order: Final Singularity - Grand Temple of Time: Solomon 2016
14.Dead Apostles: are humans that became Vampires either by the use of Magecraft or by the actions of another Vampire of similar nature.
15.Magic (Maho): It is different from Magecraft. It represents the actualization of events that are impossible to reproduce in a certain era, whether by humans or the Planet, even if given an infinite amount of time and resources. The acquisition of the capacity to perform Magic is considered the ultimate accomplishment of a Magus, and only within the grasp of those who have accessed the Swirl of the Root. Concepts like time manipulation, teleportation, spatial warping and quarantine, and the Resurrection of the dead are miracles thought to be possible only through the application of Magic.
So Magic is being able to do something that can’t be done by means of since or nature (like teleporting). Magecraft is the opposite (making flames with hands for example which can be done with science or by nature). However with the development of science, if something that can be achieved by magic turns achievable by other means, than this magic turns into magecraft.
There are 5 magics (keep the third magic in mind) :
- First Domain: Details about it are unknown. Though the exact domain of the First Magic is uncertain, it is related to the generation of Ether(or void, part of 5 Great elemts- Wind. water, Fire, Earth) Clumps, which have been called "materialized nothing". Witches are supernatural beings involved in the establishment of the First Magic. (A girl magus is not necessarily a witch)
-Second Magic: Operation of Parallel Worlds
- The Third Magic: Materialization of the soul.
- The Fourth Magic: The details regarding its domain are unknown.
The Fifth Magic: Abilities related to Time Travel.
16.ALYA: The Counter Force is a safety device formed by a World (keep reading for explanation) to defend itself against extinction and is synonymous with the World it represents. They are described as passive spirals of energy that respond to threats of planet destruction or human extinction.
The World, is two types. Gaia is the will of the Earth, the planet's intrinsic wish to survive and prosper. Alaya, on the other hand, is the collective unconscious will of mankind to avoid extinction.
17. Counter Guardian: The Counter Force empowers a "normal person" in life to remove the factor that can trigger destruction. They act with no autonomy of their own and only appear in response to an event.
17.Moon Cell- It is a large computer-like construct created by an unknown civilization one hundred million years before the existence of the Earth or the Moon. It has recorded everything that has happened on the planet since its formation. It faithfully simulates all life on Earth and is capable of providing a definite prediction of the future.
18.SE.RA.PH - A part of the Moon Cell. It is a world where Souls are transformed into information. The SE.RA.PH is responsible for the summoning of the Servants during Fate/EXTRA. The SE.RA.PH restricts the exit until the tournament participants (of Fate/ Extra’s Holy Grail) are reduced to one, as per the Moon Cell's rules. It is also responsible for the existence of the NPCs and all areas in the tournament.
The landscapes generated by SE.RA.PH are all independent Reality Marbles
