Type-Moon Official April Fool's Joke for April 2009, Sensha Otoko (Tank Man, a parody of the popular "true story" love comedy, [[Densha Otoko]] (Train Man)). The characters are mostly from Fate/Zero, with a few appearances from Fate/Stay Night characters. 

This is a story about 212cm military otaku with "Sensha Otoko" as his handle name, who despite his huge, imposing appearance, is actually very shy, and thus no girlfriends. One day, he saves a teenage girl from being harassed, and falls in love. However, because he has no experience in romance, he consults his [[otaku]] friends on the web-board Eirei Throne-Channel for advice. This is the beginning of a True Tank Story.
