<p>As the Wikia also states there are no connections between DDD and the rest of the Natsuverse, even though <a href="http://typemoon.wikia.com/wiki/Mitsuru_Kamekura" rel="nofollow">Mitsuru Kamekura</a> from Kara no Kyoukai is refernced in it as the wiki states</p>

<p>However i do not know how being able to share the Holy Grail or not is related to DDD or how explaining it is "too adult" for Student 0. however given the case with Mitsuru Kamekura this could be the same thing with it being a gimmick by Kinoko Nasu and/or Gen Urobuchi to cause those who have read DDD to do a double take</p>

<p>In Episode 1, Iri and Student 0 have the following conversation:</p>
<blockquote>
<p><strong>Student 0</strong>: There's no future to it (the War) at all. Why only one team, Instructor? I think everyone should just share it (the Grail).</p>
<p><strong>Iri</strong>: There are DDD circumstances behind that, so I'm sorry. I'd like to tell you in greater detail, but it won't happen. It's still too early for you to experience the adult world.</p>

<p>On the chalk board behind her, it shows Dark, Dirty, Dandy.</p>

<p>Since this entire mini-series is cluttered with references to the Fate series, I'm wondering what this DDD means in relation to the Fate series?</p>
