10 years ago, a boy named Shirou barely survived a great fire that killed everyone he knew. Since then, he was adopted by and raised as an amateur Mage by Kiritusugu Emiya.

One evening, Shirou stays late at school to clean the Archery Range, and sees a fight between two mysterious men.

The Blue One, holding a policy of no witnesses, tracks him down when he flees into the school and stabs him through the heart.

Somehow, Shirou returns from the dead soon after, and returns home only to be attacked again.

A mysterious foreign woman appears before him, calling him "Master"

And fights the intruder off.

Soon, Shirou comes face-to-face with another "Master" fellow student Rin Tohsaka.

Taken to the local Church by Tohsaka, Shirou learns the truth of the situation he finds himself in.

Now Shirou finds himself in the Holy Grail War, a battle between 7 Masters, mages who have summoned various heroes of the past as familiars known as "Servants", to claim the Holy Grail which can grant any wish.

The last War was 10 years ago.

The Fire was 10 years ago.

With the consequences of a poor wish on the Grail revealed, Shirou endevours to fight so that nothing like that will happen again.

And almost immediately finds himself in the third battle of the night with an immeasurably powerful opponent...

To survive Shirou Emiya Must fight with his Servant Saber in this Grail War.

To ensure that nobody ever suffers what he did 10 years ago, Shirou Emiya must win.
