Fate/Zero is a rather interesting case because it is a prequel to a story that has already received an anime adaptation. This was a story written explicitly for those already familiar with Fate/stay night. As such, certain elements of the story are expected to be known to all those watching this prequel. That being said, there are still elements of the story that are not known, and these are going to be revealed eventually over the course of the story. Therefore, our Spoiler Policy still applies, with the following clarifications:
If you have read the Fate/Zero light novels and/or are otherwise familiar with the story, please use extreme caution when participating in anime threads. Any hints, suggestions, or attempt to draw attention to certain matters based on knowledge of the source will be considered spoilers, and subject to warnings, infractions and bans. Repeat spoiler offenders who cannot help themselves may be subject to bans of the entire duration of the show's airing. However, we do provide a thread specifically for fans of the light novels who are watching the anime, called the Spoiler & Speculation Thread. Within that thread, you may discuss anything that happens in the anime drawing on any source material knowledge you wish.
We'd ask for everyone's participation to report posts in light of the clarifications above. Information from the Fate/stay night anime (and movie) are not spoilers, but anything from the Fate/Zero light novels are -- even behind spoiler tags.
Thanks for your cooperation and enjoy the show!
- Any information from the Fate/Zero Light Novels that reveals, hints at, or alludes to future events are forbidden even behind spoiler tags
- Because this is a prequel, everyone is expected to have already watched the Fate/stay night anime and movie, and thus this information does not count as a spoiler (unless you've read Fate/Zero and are leaving suggestions/hints, which are forbidden per the above)
- Except for the "Heaven's Feel" route, events in the Fate/Stay Night visual novel can be discussed behind spoiler tags so long as it does not reveal or hint at future events in Fate/Zero
