History Awesome / LegacyOfKain

--->(Moebius frantically activates his staff, to no effect.)

--->'''Kain:''' The part of me that staff affected is no longer in its place. But you already knew that, didn't you? I always was considered heartless. And now, Moebius, it is time.

-->'''Moebius:''' Aye - you have seen my plan, vampire, as I have seen your destiny: the future says you die!
-->'''Kain:''' But I ''am'' dead...
-->(He neatly slices Moebius' head off.)
-->'''Kain:''' [[BondOneLiner As are you.]]

-->'''Moebius:''' ...the Hylden are merely an inconvenient consequence. They will be dealt with in time. It's a small price to pay for Kain's death.
-->(Behind him, a familiar figure draws his sword, [[PsychoticSmirk smiling wickedly]].)
-->'''Kain:''' You're a bit premature.
-->'''Moebius:''' (Horrified) ''Kain?!''
-->'''Kain:''' Is there a crack in your omniscience after all, Moebius?
-->(Moebius frantically activates his staff, to no effect.)
-->'''Kain:''' First your omniscience, and now your powers. You're slipping ''badly''.
-->'''Moebius:''' This is not possible...
-->'''Kain:''' The part of me that staff affected is no longer in its place. But you already knew that, didn't you? I always was considered heartless. And now, Moebius, it is time.
-->'''Moebius:''' To kill me? ''Again?'' Your only solution, for every problem: ''kill''-
-->'''Kain:''' This is not a debate. You see, this time, you have ''nothing'' that I want.
-->(He grabs Moebius by the shoulder and runs him through with the Soul Reaver.)

** The moment immediately after that in the astral plane, as the soul of Moebius picks himself up off the floor, Raziel is right behind him, Soul reaver drawn. "OH, SNAP!" And the look on Moebius' face when Raziel runs Moebius through with the spectral Soul Reaver, revealing to Moebius for the first time the true face of the god he had served for centuries is priceless.

* The whole Kain vs Raziel battle in Defiance. It just shows just how much character development Raziel has had.

** The scene from the very ending of Defiance where Raziel [[spoiler:shows Moebius that he's been worshiping a EldritchAbomination all along]].
--->[[spoiler:'''Raziel:''' Do you see it now? The monster that you served? Is this what you imagined it would be like when you worshiped it? ]]
--->[[spoiler:'''Moebius:''' ''No...'' ]]
--->[[spoiler:'''Raziel:''' And in that knowledge, go - and feed it. I release you.]]
** And right after that, when [[spoiler:Raziel allows himself to be absorbed into the Reaver, truly restoring Kain as the Scion of Balance.]]
--->[[spoiler:'''Raziel:''' The Soul Reaver - pure of all corruption. This - is what it is for. This - is what ''I'' am for. Both Soul Reavers together... And the Scion of Balance - is ''healed''. And I am not your enemy. Not your destroyer. I am - as before - your right hand, ''your sword.'' And now you will see - the true enemy...]]

** The moment immediately after that in the astral plane, [[spoiler: as the soul of Moebius picks himself up off the floor, Raziel is right behind him, Soul reaver drawn.]] "OH, SNAP!" And the look on Moebius' face when [[spoiler: Raziel runs Moebius through with the spectral Soul Reaver, revealing to Moebius for the first time the true face of the god he had served for centuries]] is priceless.
** The moment in ''Soul Reaver'' when Raziel first finds the tomb of [[spoiler: the Sarafan lieutenants, including ''himself''.]]

* Kain battling the freakin' [[spoiler: ELDER GOD]] and kicking [[spoiler: It's]] ass! Seriously, can anything measure up to that, short of actually ''killing'' it?

-->'''[[spoiler: The Elder God:]]''' You may ponder the futility of your ambitions as you spend a [[AndIMustScream deathless eternity beneath a mountain of rubble.]] You and your Soul Reaver will go equally mad as the eons pass: the Citadel of the Apostates will become your living tomb.
-->(One of the [[spoiler: Elder God's]] tentacles begins slithering towards Kain.)

-->'''[[spoiler: The Elder God: ]]''' NO! You are ''nothing!''

* The paradox scene in ''Soul Reaver 2'', when Kain calls out to Raziel to fight Fate's impulse, ending with the aversion of YouCantFightFate by [[spoiler: sparing him, changing the entirety of history from that point in one move.]]
** It ain't just that. Kain risks everything on Raziel listening to him, [[spoiler: knowing that in all likelihood he will die and history won't change. He still risks it, and you can see his fear during the monumental moment - he actually cowers for the only time in the series]].
* The climax of ''Blood Omen 2'' despite being a DisappointingLastLevel has a particularly badass moment for Kain. When the Sarafan Lord [[spoiler: is threatening him with the Soul Reaver at the gateway to the demon dimension, with Kain only protected from its devastating power by the Nexus Stone]] the Sarafan Lord tells Kain that while he is currently protected, he can't defeat him without sacrificing that protection. He then starts some textbook EvilGloating about how they are at a stalemate, which he is sure to win eventually because he has all the time in the world, only for Kain to reply [[spoiler: "But I haven't yet made my choice", before throwing the Nexus Stone into the gateway and destroying his enemies' plans, deliberately making himself vulnerable to the most powerful weapon in the known world.]] Kain may have doomed Nosgoth with his selfish, egocentric decision to rule it rather than heal it [[spoiler: (or so he believes at the time)]], but he is ''definitely'' not a coward.

* The whole [[spoiler:Kain vs Raziel]] battle in Defiance. It just shows just how much character development [[spoiler:Raziel]] has had.
** [[spoiler: Raziel actually managing to win. While it's true that Kain was trying to avoid killing him or trapping him in the Soul Reaver, Raziel is nearly drawn in regardless, and despite that, he still hands Kain one of his few defeats and rips the Heart of Darkness out of his chest while throwing his own BattleCry back at him.]]
*** It also marks the only time that Raziel laughs during the entire series (as he hasn't had much reason to before). [[spoiler: But here he openly laughs mockingly at Kain during the first half of the fight;]] it is both awesome and chilling at the same time.

-->'''Kain:''' For you would not fear us unless we could truly do you in!
