Even if you take away the concept of servants and the fight scenes and So As I Pray Unlimited Blade Works and defenseless derrieres and everything else that turned Fate/Stay Night into one of the biggest names in the otakusphere of all time, it would still have been a novel entry into Arthuriana just for what it says about people as swords.
See a ton of Western-style fantasy and science fiction likes calling people swords to make them badasses because if you're called Bob then you're just a guy with a sword, but if Bob is called "The King's Blade" suddenly Bob is a badass now, he's the shit, Bob isn't just a warrior; he's a true believer, and that means he's exceptional. Nothing more romantic than declaring yourself nothing but a tool for your master.
And then Fate/Stay Night said you cannot love someone as a weapon, and you cannot reach them without an open hand free of steel. A sword only does one thing to a heart.
You know what DOES save people though? Letting the cute girl that tried to kill you twice have gay sex with your hauntingly beautiful lady knight servant please please please Emiya-kun it's the only way we can possibly defeat Berserker I promise you can go next
