Fate/strange Fake
This is a Holy Grail War covered in lies.
Created by Norikazu Otsuka, Maki Sato, Hiroshi Hagawa, Takashi Takeuchi, Atsuhiro Iwakami
A high-stakes supernatural battle royale built on deception and conspiracy, where the rules themselves are corrupted and nothing can be trusted.
In a Holy Grail War, Mages (Masters) and their Heroic Spirits (Servants) fight for the control of the Holy Grail—an omnipotent wish-granting device said to fulfill any desire. Years have passed since the end of the Fifth Holy Grail War in Japan. Now, signs portend the emergence of a new Holy Grail in the western American city of Snowfield. Sure enough, Masters and Servants begin to gather... A missing Servant class... Impossible Servant summonings... A nation shrouded in secrecy... And a city created as a battleground. In the face of such irregularities, the Holy Grail War is twisted and driven into the depth of madness. Let the curtain rise on a masquerade of humans and heroes, made to dance upon the stage of a false Holy Grail.
