I might have missed the explanation while reading the visual novel but if the
magic and all that kinda stuff are kept a secret from the public, then how
exactly do you explain the huge glaring flashes of light and the huge amount
of noise that comes from the fight between the servants? Is it something to do
with the Magic Association/ The Church? I don't actually remember any
instances in the the visual novel other than the start of the series with
Shirou getting stabbed by Lancer where any witnesses were killed. Not to
mention the other shenanigans like Rider summoning his chariot.

How is the holy grail war from Fate/ Stay night kept a secret?


From the author Kinoko Nasu himself:

> The Holy Grail War is unknown to the general population, but to what extent
> is it hidden from normal people? Are the Church people (supervisors)
> manipulating the media and police (or even the governmental level) to cover
> it up?  
>  A: The Church manipulates information, while the Magic Association handles
> the media. Also, the Association has the Einzbern cover the cost of any
> collateral damage.
