by A special collaboration visual featuring Aoko Aozaki from “Mahoutsukai no Yoru” (Witch on the Holy Night) and Saber from “Fate/Zero” has been unveiled, bringing together two iconic characters from the TYPE-MOON universe.
The newly released artwork was created by ufotable, the animation studio behind both projects. The collaboration celebrates two major milestones: the upcoming theatrical release of “Mahoutsukai no Yoru” and the 15th anniversary of the “Fate/Zero” TV anime.
The announcement is part of a larger “Let’s Watch Together! TYPE-MOON × ufotable” project, which will give fans several opportunities to revisit “Fate/Zero” and other TYPE-MOON works ahead of the “Mahoutsukai no Yoru” movie’s release.
Aoko Aozaki and Saber Meet in a Special Collaboration Visual
The newly revealed visual brings together Aoko Aozaki, the central character of “Mahoutsukai no Yoru,” and Saber, one of the most recognizable characters from “Fate/Zero.”
Although the two characters come from different stories, their appearance together is particularly fitting because both works are closely connected to the creative world of TYPE-MOON and the animation work of ufotable.
The illustration was produced specifically to commemorate the theatrical release of “Mahoutsukai no Yoru” and the 15th anniversary of the “Fate/Zero” anime.
For longtime TYPE-MOON fans, the visual also serves as a reminder of the studio’s history of adapting the company’s stories into major anime productions. It provides a bridge between the upcoming “Mahoutsukai no Yoru” movie and one of ufotable’s most well-known TYPE-MOON adaptations.
‘Mahoutsukai no Yoru’ Heads to Theaters on November 20
The theatrical anime “Mahoutsukai no Yoru” is scheduled to open in Japanese theaters on Friday, November 20, 2026.
The movie is based on the TYPE-MOON visual novel of the same name. The original game was released in 2012 and was written by Kinoko Nasu, with character and graphic work by Hirokazu Koyama. The story is set in the late 1980s and follows high school student Soujurou Shizuki, who moves to the city and becomes involved with two mysterious women, Aoko Aozaki and Alice Kuonji.
The anime adaptation is being produced by ufotable, making the project particularly notable for fans who have followed the studio’s work on the “Fate” franchise and other TYPE-MOON properties.
The main cast includes:
- Aoko Aozaki: Haruka Tomatsu
- Alice Kuonji: Kana Hanazawa
- Soujurou Shizuki: Yusuke Kobayashi
The film’s theme song is “Yoru to Ao” by supercell, adding another major name from the Japanese music and anime scene to the project.
‘Fate/Zero’ Celebrates 15 Years
The collaboration also marks an important anniversary for “Fate/Zero.”
The TV anime reached its 15th anniversary on October 1, 2026, making this collaboration a timely celebration of the series and its lasting connection with anime fans.
To commemorate the anniversary, “Fate/Zero” will receive its first selection broadcast on Fuji TV as part of the “Let’s Watch Together! TYPE-MOON × ufotable” project.
Rather than having the broadcast episodes selected solely by the production team, viewers will be able to vote for the episodes they want to see again. The selection broadcast will take place across four nights in November.
‘Fate/Zero’ Fuji TV Selection Broadcast
The broadcasts are scheduled for the following dates:
- November 2, 2026: 1:45 a.m.–2:45 a.m.
- November 4, 2026: 2:45 a.m.–3:45 a.m.
- November 11, 2026: 1:45 a.m.–2:45 a.m.
- November 13, 2026: 1:45 a.m.–2:45 a.m.
The selection broadcast is Kanto-region only, and the episodes will be determined through viewer voting.
This gives fans an opportunity to revisit some of the most memorable moments from the original 25-episode series before the “Mahoutsukai no Yoru” movie arrives in theaters.
ABEMA Will Stream All 25 Episodes of ‘Fate/Zero’
Fans who want to watch the complete series will also have another option.
ABEMA has announced a special streaming run of all 25 episodes of “Fate/Zero” on its Anime LIVE channel. The marathon-style release will begin on October 10, 2026, and the episodes will be distributed over 12 days.
The announced schedule begins with Episodes 1 and 2 on October 10 and continues in pairs through November, with Episodes 23–25 scheduled together on November 15.

A Larger TYPE-MOON × ufotable Celebration
The collaboration is not limited to “Mahoutsukai no Yoru” and “Fate/Zero.”
The “Let’s Watch Together! TYPE-MOON × ufotable” project is also designed to encourage fans to revisit other anime works created through the collaboration between TYPE-MOON and ufotable.
As part of the project, the 10-film “The Garden of Sinners” movie series and the three “Fate/stay night [Heaven’s Feel]” films are also scheduled to receive subscription-based streaming availability on participating services. Additional information about the participating services and release schedules is being announced separately.
ABEMA is also planning a limited-time special channel featuring TYPE-MOON × ufotable works, allowing fans to revisit several titles from the collaboration’s history.
This makes the campaign more than a simple promotional tie-in. It connects the upcoming “Mahoutsukai no Yoru” theatrical release with several major anime projects associated with ufotable.
Why the Collaboration Is Special for Anime Fans
For viewers who are new to TYPE-MOON, the collaboration provides an easy opportunity to discover some of the company’s most recognizable stories.
“Fate/Zero” is part of the larger Fate universe and focuses on the Fourth Holy Grail War, while “Mahoutsukai no Yoru” tells a separate story centered on Aoko Aozaki, Alice Kuonji, and Soujurou Shizuki.
The two titles do not simply tell the same story, but they share connections through TYPE-MOON’s creative universe and ufotable’s animation production.
The new visual featuring Aoko and Saber therefore works as both an anniversary celebration and a promotional bridge between two different eras of TYPE-MOON anime.
For existing fans, it is an opportunity to celebrate the 15th anniversary of “Fate/Zero.” For newcomers, the upcoming movie and the accompanying streaming campaign provide a chance to explore more of the TYPE-MOON and ufotable catalog.
