Carnival Phantasm
Grail-kun appears in three segments featuring characters coming to him for help. The first involves Shinji Matou seeking help to have Gilgamesh listen to him, becoming shocked upon receiving the "Friendmaker." The second involves Shirou Emiya saddened that Archer says he'll never become a Hero of Justice, becoming shocked upon receiving the "Hero Creation Kit." The third features Kirei Kotomine complaining that Lancer is useless because of his constant deaths, quickly agreeing with the use of the "Servant Strengthening Device."
Grail-kun appears to Lancer in the "Final Dead Lancer" episode, telling him how to avert his deaths. He says Lancer is the clown of the festival and that the story will kill him. As Lancer avoids his deaths, Grail-kun is shown various times, eventually revealing that Lancer ultimately needs the Grail to avoid death. After Lancer is killed, Grail-kun chides him for not avoiding them all.
