Fate/Apocrypha

language

description Fate/Apocrypha Overview

The Holy Grail is a powerful, ancient relic capable of granting any wish the beholder desires. In order to obtain this power, various magi known as "masters" summon legendary Heroic Spirits called "servants" to fight for them in a destructive battle royale—the Holy Grail War. Only the last master-servant pair standing may claim the Grail for themselves. Yet, the third war ended inconclusively, as the Grail mysteriously disappeared following the conflict.

Many years later, the magi clan Yggdmillennia announces its possession of the Holy Grail, and intends to leave the Mage's Association.

help Fate/Apocrypha FAQ

Do I need to watch Fate/stay night or Fate/Zero before Fate/Apocrypha?

No, Apocrypha takes place in a parallel world that split off from the main timeline when the Greater Grail was taken out of Fuyuki, so it stands on its own. Knowing the basic premise of a Holy Grail War from other Fate entries helps, but it isn't required.

How many Servants fight in Fate/Apocrypha?

Fourteen in total — an unprecedented Great Holy Grail War fought between two factions of seven Servants each, the Black faction and the Red faction. That doubles the usual seven-Servant battlefield of Fate/stay night.

Who is the referee girl in Fate/Apocrypha?

That's Jeanne d'Arc, summoned as Ruler to oversee the Great Holy Grail War, and she's effectively the lead heroine. She's possessed the body of a French girl named Laeticia in order to participate in the physical world.

Who made Fate/Apocrypha and where can I stream it?

It was animated by A-1 Pictures and aired in 2017, and it has been available on Netflix in regions including the United States. It's also the series that made Astolfo, the Rider of Black, into one of the franchise's most popular characters.
