Fate Series

The Fate Series is a huge part of the otaku world because it takes the idea of a battle royale and expands it into a huge multiverse with many timelines and alternate realities. The series is mostly about the "Holy Grail War," which is a ritual in which magi summon the heroic spirits of legendary figures like King Arthur and Gilgamesh and make them fight each other to the death to get a wish. The Fate Series, written by Kinoko Nasu, is a complicated story about heroism, idealism, and legacy that is based on a simple tournament format. The writer's brush of philosophy interacts heavily with the story to paint a historical landscape that can be used to reinterpret the very essence of these ideas.
