Mind if I barge in?

I read the interview with Narita Ryouji included in TYPE-MOON ACE VOL.10 and yes, it does say that the El-Melloi Case Files are the only spinoff series that is in the exact same continuity with the original F/SN storyline.

So I decided to skim through all the El-Melloi books again to see if there's any proof of that. And I found a part that may prove it. In vol.2, it is mentioned that Kayneth's death in the 4th Grail War was inevitable due to the fact that MULTIPLE magus killers were hired in the war.

This contradicts with the story in Fate/ Zero since there was only one magus killer(Kiritsugu) that participaed in the war.

So basically, this does prove that the Fate/ Zero story is in fact a 'Alternate Prequel' in which some parts of the story is diffrent from the 4th Grail War from the original F/SN continuity.
