However both EMIYA and Artoria are special. In fact, they reasons are already explained in the Fate universe.

Artoria: She can remember what happen in Fate/Zero because she isn't an Heroic Spirit. The "real" Artoria Pendragon wasn't dead in F/Z or F/SN. In life, while she was about to die, she make a contract with The World. The World let her to join the Grail War so she can try to make true her wish. She was frozen in time, so didn't died and her soul didn't join the Throne of Heroes. Fate/Zero's Artoria Pendragon and Fate/Stay Night's Artoria Pendragon are the very same Servant, not different summons of the same Spirit. That's why she have her memories. And that's why after she ended the war in F/SN and decided to give up on her wish we see how she is, once again, in the tree, about to die, along with Bedivere.

EMIYA: He have memories from the Grail War just because his Heroic Spirit (the real EMIYA, the soul in the Throne of Heroic) was in Fuyuki war. He know Saber because when he was alive he knew her, the same for Rin, Cu Chulainn, Medea, etc. He have memories from his life, not from previous summonings or something like that.

In the Fate universe it's already explained that each Servant isn't the real Heroic Spirit, it's just a copy, an instance of that Spirit. After the Servant die, he just dissapear. Those memories doesn't go to the Throne of Heroes. The Heroic Spirit only remember what happened in life.

So... Cu Chulainn Caster memories are against the logic and the lore (just like 70% Fate/Grand Order, so one thing is true: it isn't a surprise).
