In Episode 1, Iri and Student 0 have the following conversation:

> **Student 0** : There's no future to it (the War) at all. Why only one team,
> Instructor? I think everyone should just share it (the Grail).
>
> **Iri** : There are DDD circumstances behind that, so I'm sorry. I'd like to
> tell you in greater detail, but it won't happen. It's still too early for
> you to experience the adult world.

On the chalk board behind her, it shows Dark, Dirty, Dandy.

Since this entire mini-series is cluttered with references to the Fate series,
I'm wondering what this DDD means in relation to the Fate series?

What is the reference Iri is making when she says DDD?


I belive it's referring to _Decoration Disorder Disconnection_ , AKA _DDD_ ,
which is another title written by Kinoko Nasu which was published in Faust
magazine

As the Wikia also states there are no connections between DDD and the rest of
the Natsuverse, even though [Mitsuru
Kamekura](http://typemoon.wikia.com/wiki/Mitsuru_Kamekura) from Kara no
Kyoukai is refernced in it as the wiki states

However i do not know how being able to share the Holy Grail or not is related
to DDD or how explaining it is "too adult" for Student 0. however given the
case with Mitsuru Kamekura this could be the same thing with it being a
gimmick by Kinoko Nasu and/or Gen Urobuchi to cause those who have read DDD to
do a double take
