The anime television series released its first episode in November and is fully set on releasing it’s second episode on 31st of December, 2024.
What Happened in Episode 1?
The story centers around a Grail War faultily copied from the Third Holy Grail War in Fuyuki. As the third Grail War came to an end, an organization based in the United States had magi separate from the London-based Mage Association as members took data from Fuyuki’s Grail War and planned their ritual. As the landmark for seventy years passed, they used the city of Snowfield as the sacred ground to conduct another Holy Grail War.
However, They were unable to successfully copy every aspect of the ritual, which led to it acting only as an imitation that has lost the Saber class and therefore, allowed for the summoning of strange Servants due to the definition of a “hero” being blurred.
What Happens in Episode 2?
The plot of episode 2 of Fate/strange Fake involves the Mage’s Association sending Langal and his pupil Faldeus to investigate the status of a Holy Grail War in Snowfield. However, things turn out to be way more adverse than they seem when Faldeus turns out to be a spy for the US Organization. He arranges it so that Langal is sniped upon arrival.
After which, Faldeus then announces that the war is real and wants to “advertise” it to the Association.
