I want to know how this anime is connected to the Fate universe. I see Rin in
a few trailers of the show. Also is it up to expectations with Fate/Stay Night
and Fate/Zero?

How does Fate/Kaleid Liner Prisma connect to the Fate universe?


Fate/kaleid liner PRISMA☆ILLYA is an alternate timeline to Fate/Stay Night

> The series takes place in Fuyuki City in an alternate timeline of Fate/stay
> night. Kiritsugu and Irisviel helped end the Holy Grail War ritual before it
> could start, sealing Ilya's memories away and allowing her to grow up as a
> normal girl. Shirou and Ilya live a peaceful life as brother and sister,
> without knowledge of magic, under the care of Sella and Leysritt, while
> their parents are abroad.

however it may be apart of a different timeline to that in which Fate/Zero
occurred because of Shirou's background

> It is unknown what happened to his biological parents, as the Great Fire had
> never occurred, but he was still adopted by Kiritsugu about ten years ago,
> similar to his Fate/stay night origins.

however multiple timelines that are still connected is possible in the
Nasuverse as Kischur Zelretch Schweinorg wield the Second Magic which is the
Operation of Parallel worlds. he was also present when the Makiri, Tohsaka and
Einzbern Family began the ritual that would later be known as the Holy Grail
Wars

In the image above we can see Zelretch reading a book and Lord El-Melloi II,
AKA, Waver Velvet from Fate/Zero and like Shirou how he got the title of Lord
El-Melloi II in this world is unknown as it was during Fate/Zero in which
Kayneth El-Melloi Archibald was killed and Waver helped restore the House's
name to which his new name was award to him and where he "serves" Reines El-
Melloi Archisorte

> While it was on the brink of collapse, Waver Velvet's actions helped to
> revive the Archibald house, and he was then named as "Lord El-Melloi II" as
> a form of gratitude. At the bottom of the family's hierarchy at the time,
> she "blamed" him for causing the situation and claimed "you better serve me
> for your entire life," much to the former's chagrin.

so if Irisviel and Kiritsugu stopped the 4th War then the Archibald house
wouldn't be in a state of collapse because of Kayneth's death and Shirou
wouldn't have been adopted because the corrupted Holy Grail wouldn't have
started the great fire which claimed his family

However some titles in the Nausverse do extend from other branches in it's
history that aren't covered in other Fate titles, such as with
_Fate/Apocrypha_ which occurs in a separate timeline caused by the Einzbern
Family summoning Ruler during the 3rd Holy Grail War instead of Avenger or in
_Fate/Extra_ in which a certain Magic Incident (assumed to be a premature
Aylesbury Valesti) cause the world's Mana to dry up in the 1970's, years
before the forth Holy Grail War in the 1990's (and thus the Greater Grail
would take longer to build up Mana for the 4th war if it even occurred)

with that being said the point in the history of the Nasuverse in which could
allow for the alterations to Shirou's and Waver's history in Fate/kaleid liner
PRISMA☆ILLYA without the 4th war occurring is currently unknown.
