I know fatous was creating a FSN/ZNT xover, but I was reading Volume 8 of ZNT manga at Baka Tsuki. There were a fact in the Volume that came at me.
1. Saito did in fact die at the Battle of Albion. Tifa was the one who brought him back from the dead. The result was that he lost the mark of Gandarfl.
My supposition is this. Tifa's magic worked a little too well. The elf magic brought back to life a former soul of Saito. The Emiya Shiro from the bad ending of Unlimited Blade Works. Who sacrificed his life to seal off the Holy Grail. And was reincarnated as Hiraga Saito
The effect was that Saito's memories from the time he was transported to Halkegenia was either partially or totally erased. I like the partial overwrite version. He may have at least flashes of memories of the events in ZNT prior, the the feelings associated with them are gone. And Shiro's memories (and skills) are beginning to come back. And instead of the runes of a Void familiar, the mark of a master of the Grail War appears instead.
The interesting questions for this idea is this:
1. Will Saito be fully Emiya at the end or a fusion of both? Does that mean he becomes Archer in the end?
2. The reaction of the people around Saito to his new transformation.
In the novel, Louise was able to reestablish the contract between her and Saito. Does it happen this time or not?
Who does Saito get involved in? Louise, Tiffa, Henrietta and Siesta for sure. Who else gets in the act? Agnes? (she does look like Saber)
