Overview
Fate/Apocrypha is a Japanese anime television series that aired in 2017. The story centers on a conflict involving mages and heroic spirits competing for the Holy Grail. The narrative begins with the historical context of a Holy Grail War that took place in the town of Fuyuki. During World War II, a mage exploited the global chaos to steal a Holy Grail. Decades later, the Yggdmillennia family, who adopted the Holy Grail as their symbol, separated from the Mages' Association. The Association responded by sending forces to confront the Yggdmillennia family, but these efforts ended in defeat. This confrontation leads to significant changes in the Holy Grail system, resulting in a large-scale war breaking out. The series explores the consequences of this apocalyptic conflict between magical factions. The show presents an alternate timeline within the broader Fate franchise universe, focusing on the ramifications of the stolen Holy Grail and the resulting war.
