■About Fate/stay night [Unlimited Blade Works]
A war is brewing in Fuyuki City for the Holy Grail, said to grant any wish of the one who obtains it. To fight in this war, seven mages have each summoned a familiar called a Servant. These Servants are “Saber”, “Lancer”, “Archer”, “Rider”, “Caster”, “Assassin”, and “Berserker”. These mages are willing to do whatever it takes to reign victorious in the Holy Grail War, and no one is sure to make it out alive.
