Fate/Strange Fake anime‘s official website unveiled the preview and synopsis for the upcoming episode 5.
Synopsis for the episode is as following:
“Sometime after the battle in the valley, the clock was turned back. In a mansion in the swamp, a mercenary was attempting to summon a Servant. His code name was Sigma. With no aspirations for the world, and no intention of leaving anything behind, the Servant chosen by the false Holy Grail for this empty-headed man was an extremely unique Heroic Spirit, one that could not be summoned in a normal Holy Grail War.”

Fate/strange Fake is a Japanese light novel series within Type-Moon’s Fate universe, authored by Ryōgo Narita and illustrated by Morii Shizuki [ja].
Initially, it debuted on Narita’s website as “Fake/states night” on April 1, 2008, crafted as an April Fool’s jest in the guise of a prologue for a role-playing game. The content was removed post-April Fool’s but resurfaced in 2009 as a novel, bundled with TYPE-MOON Ace 2 magazine, featuring Morii Shizuki’s artwork and an afterword by Narita.
In 2014, plans for both a novel and manga series were revealed, accompanied by a short trailer. An anime special, Fate/strange Fake: Whispers of Dawn, produced by A-1 Pictures, aired in July 2023, covering much of the first volume’s content. A full anime series, also by A-1 Pictures, launched its premiere episode in December 2024, with Whispers of Dawn serving as its prologue, and subsequent episodes slated for release in January 2026.
