** Iskandar's Ionioi Hetairoi, while looking somewhat-plain compared to the rest of the examples here, manages to invoke awesome nonetheless by summoning the desert and Iskandar's army in almost the same fashion as the ''LightNovel/FateZero'' anime, and then playing "You Are My King". ManlyTears must be shed. In addition of that, there's also an awesome BattleCry that he threw in, just because. "'''AAAAAAALALALALALAIE!!!'''"

** The [[https://youtu.be/92YMDisG1OU reveal trailer]] for the LightNovel/TheGardenOfSinners crossover. From the moment Ryougi Shiki turns her knife to the camera and delivers her BlasphemousBoast, to Mash, [[TrailersAlwaysLie Diarmuid]] and Scathach fighting against one of Caster Cu's Wicker Men, and ending with Shiki charging at Altria, all with Shiki's battle theme playing in the background. And as an added bonus this trailer was made by the ever-awesome ufotable.

** Special mention must be given to the writers and developers here. Because [[EvilOnlyHasToWinOnce ORT TRULY being undefeatable would mean a dour end to the story]], it is ultimately something that the player has to take down, and preventing ORT from being OverratedAndUnderlevelled in this situation was a ''very'' thin tightrope with no safety net. Players understandably had their reservations, but in the end ORT ended up exactly as powerful and terrifying as it should've been with the addendum that PHH ORT would be much further beyond it, the writers/devs managing to give the player a believable victory while still letting the spider keep its dignity.

** After decades of hype as the Nasuverse's ace, ORT has finally decide to engage us in response to the Foreign God trying to hijack it, allowing us to see it in action for the first time. Engage? I mean '''[[HopelessBossFight absolutely crush]]''' all parties involved. It has '''''[[ReadingsAreOffTheScale 10]]''''' break bars with the ''1 million'' as the first, ''10 million'' at the second and if you are actually good/insane enough, '''''[[https://imgur.com/a/0acqr8c 100 million]]''''' at the third. Even the Foreign God who decides to jump in when your party gets wiped throws a black hole at it...only for it to deal ''average damage''. One last piece of info, his level in that "fight" is '''''1'''''. Dataminers have determined his total health to be '''3,591,250,000'''.

Seriously, who thinks about using an EldritchAbomination to destroy the planet thoroughly, all in order to spare humanity's status as an intelligent life form in the eyes of the Universe?

* Fuyuki: The pre-battle cutscene against Saber Alter, where she decides to be a CombatPragmatist and unleash her Noble Phantasm, Excalibur Morgan, from the get-go. As shown in the ''Heaven's Feel'' route, Excalibur Morgan's SwordBeam is nigh-unstoppable - and yet, Mash manages to block it with her Noble Phantasm, which she has only recently awakened, putting her all into it with a yell. It helps that the [[SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic Grand Battle theme]] is starting up as this happens, which continues playing as the cutscene segues right into the battle itself.
* Orleans:
** In a moment of inspiring bravery, Marie Antoinette stayed behind to guard the evacuating townsfolk, allowing Jeanne and Georgios to escape and go on to heal Siegfried. First she defeated Sanson and then fought Jeanne Alter to delay her, despite knowing that she was drastically outmatched. ''Vive La France'', indeed.
** In a moment of [[HeroicWillpower villainous willpower]], Charles-Henri Sanson, in-game a lowly two-star Servant, manages to shrug off his Shadow Servant state he was reduced to after being defeated by Marie Antoinette so that he can talk to Mozart.
** Jeanne figuring out that Jeanne Alter isn't any aspect of her just by asking one question - namely, if she still remembers her family as Jeanne did. The fact that Jeanne remembers so much of her former life as a French country girl was precisely why her betrayal by the King of France hurt so very badly for her. The fact that Jeanne Alter doesn't even remember this and cannot answer her question is what clues her in (or rather, confirms her suspicion) that not only is Jeanne Alter not an aspect of her at all, but that she was not the holder of the Grail or the one behind this singularity, which leads to the final battle against Caster Gilles, who created Jeanne Alter as his weapon of revenge against France after he sought to resurrect Jeanne using the Grail but was denied.
* Septem: The high point of this otherwise lackluster Singularity is finally facing off against Lev Lainur, who reveals himself to be one of the Thirteen Demon Pillars, and kicking his ass for what he did to Olga Marie in Fuyuki. And then when he tries to summon one last Servant in a last-ditch bid to destroy Rome and the world, Altera, the Servant in question, proves too powerful for him to control and kills him by shearing him right in half.
* Okeanos, especially the second half, is closer to an epic movie than a game.
** After stealing Blackbeard's Grail, Jason announcing his true intention to sacrifice Euryale to the Ark of the Covenant in his attempt to be the king of the world. Unfortunately, sacrificing an earth goddess will destroy the fragile Singularity, but Jason doesn't know that and Medea Lily kept that little fact secret. Jason then sics Heracles, with God Hand activated at that, on the Golden Hind. Asterios intercepts him and wrestles with a hero whose specialty is slaying monsters to a draw, all while declaring his love to Euryale. Seeing the fight in a stalemate, Jason orders Hektor to tip the scale to their favor. Hektor pierces both Berserkers and throws them off to the sea, confident that Heracles will survive because of God Hand. As it later revealed in Tamamo Cat's interlude, Asterios also survives.
** Heracles swims all the way to the protagonist's camp, still chasing after them. Seeing there's no other way to kill him, the protagonist volunteers to be the bait by carrying Euryale around as the other Servants are trying to push him into the Ark. They shoot him with all of their Noble Phantasms simultaneously and he still doesn't die from it. The Ark is basically [[OnlyTheAuthorCanSaveThemNow their only hope]] against Heracles at this point!
** When questioned by Jason why Medea Lily didn't say that the Singularity will be destroyed if they sacrifice Euryale, Medea answers that she was defeated and cursed to be silent by another mage stronger than her. This girl is a magus from the age of Gods and can cure anything except death. It wasn't until the next chapter we can see how strong that mage is, and it's not pretty.
** After Medea Lily turns Jason into Demon Pillar Forneus, everyone begins to lose hope that they can face it... Until Drake just shoots it with her guns to prove that it ''can'' be killed. This inspires everyone and allows them to fight and defeat the Demon Pillar.
** Ever wonders how Drake got the Grail? She just happened to stumble upon Atlantis, where the wraith of Poseidon was using the Grail to cling on whatever remaining influence he has on the world which is the city of Atlantis itself. Poseidon attempted to defeat Drake, who is the representative of humanity taming the sea, as to reinstate his dominance. Drake then proceeded to defeat him, stole the Grail, and re-sunk Atlantis back to the sea. As this is not an event changed by the presence of the false Grail that creates the singularity, this entire fight canonically happened in the Nasuverse's history and is one of the reasons why Drake has a Star attribute.
* London:
** Mordred [[ShutUpHannibal not giving a shit about Mephistopheles's word games]] before [[TalkToTheFist cutting him down where he stands]] after the party finds out he murdered Victor Frankenstein and defeats him.
** Makiri Zolgen, aka Matou Zouken. In his prime days on this game, he trashed the Mage Association with his boosted Servants: Charles Babbage, Paracelsus, and Mephistopheles. In his final moment, he managed to summon Nikola Tesla as well.
** Andersen gets a big one involving Solomon as well. Solomon releases a magic blast that kills every single Servant it hits such as Kintoki and Tamamo, a fragment of Amaterasu (albeit in one of her less powerful forms, having only two tails). He then turns his attention on Mordred and fires it again, and Andersen blocks it. The normal human survived a strike that killed a fragment of a goddess. What does Andersen do after this? Insult him to his face. Andersen, a Servant with a rank of E in nearly every single stat, insulted the King of Magic. BadassNormal at it's finest, even if Solomon was more amused than anything before annihilating him with his next shot.
** The infodump of the Servant system from Andersen while dying from Solomon's magic blast. Apparently, the original ritual is used to summon 7 '''Grand''' Servants and unite them against a threat to humanity. The Fuyuki system is a toned-down system.
** Solomon. He resurrected himself as a Heroic Spirit and is now actively incinerating human history bit by bit.
** The final battle is this as well. The battle is against Solomon with [[FourIsDeath Four]] Ars Goetia demons... only, you defeat the demons, but Solomon still kicks your team's collective asses.

* America:
** The very concept of this Order is this. A full-scale Holy Grail War that pits American Servants against Celt Servants, with the Indian Servants in-between.
** Cu Chulainn Alter is made of this. After becoming Fate's chew toy for so long, he gets to expend his pent-up frustration and is the most dangerous Servant of this chapter, causing [[HeroKiller many Servant deaths!]] And he did all this ''before'' he used the power of Ascension...
** Rama coming out (albeit barely) alive after getting NP'ed by Cu Alter, staying alive with practically ''half'' of his heart for days... and after he is recovered, he defeats Beowulf instantly with Brahmastra. Yes, all Indian Servants are badasses.
** Special mention to the protagonist. More especifically, when Edison is declaring that they should ally with him or be considered enemies, he gave them 3 minutes to choose. After those minutes passed, their answer towards Edison can be basically the equivalent of giving a Servant the bird:

After those minutes passed, their answer towards Edison can be basically the equivalent of giving a Servant the bird:



** Cu against his teacher, Scathach. Scathach tries to seal off Cu with her other NP, the gate to the Land of Shadows... but Cu breaks free and seemingly kills her with a technique she never taught him.
** Karna vs Arjuna's duel. It is so awesome, they made all present at the battlefield stop fighting to witness it, even Rama said that they should sit back and enjoy the awesomeness. Then Karna is backstabbed by Cu (with an Anti-Army thrown Gae Bolg!) and seemingly dies... only for it to be revealed that he's survived [[BeyondTheImpossible having his spiritual core destroyed]] through sheer willpower and manages to become the first Servant to seriously injure Cu, nearly killing him with a weakened Vasavi Shakti despite it only grazing Cu, who was forced to retreat and heal despite his Grail and runes providing near-instant regeneration.
** Li Shuwen duels against Beowulf in a hand-to-hand combat in which Li Shuwen, a relatively modern Heroic Spirit, manages to tie with Beowulf. Granted, it's only because Beowulf is too accustomed to fighting monsters, and his brute force is not as effective for fighting humans, but it's still impressive. In the end, Li Shuwen got the fight he always dreamed of, against Scathach.
** In the final battle, Edison [[TeethClenchedTeamwork working]] with [[ArchEnemy Tesla]] against 28 Demon Pillars to deliver a System Keraunos boosted WFD, and to end it all, Arjuna launchs a full-powered Pashupata against them.
** The player's own final duel against Cu Alter is just as awesome. Cu is an enemy who has laid waste to many of the powerful NPC allies of the player, up to and including Karna. The protagonist manages to put him on the ropes to the point that he has to resort to Ascension to make himself stronger, and fights them in his second and later third forms as if he were a ''Anime/DragonBallZ'' villain. Finally, when it seems that he's on his last legs, he uses the power of the Grail to achieve his final form - that of Demon God Halphas, a powerful demon with a different appearance from those fought before. And as the player still keeps continuing to fight, eventually coming out on top again, with an epic reprise of the main menu music playing all the while.

** Bedivere being able to destroy a sphinx permanently - remember that sphinxes in the Fate universe are Divine Beasts with almost-infinite regeneration.
** Arash being able to block Lion King's Rhongomyniad's blast using Stella at the cost of his life to protect Hassan of the Cursed Arm's village.
*** As this needs elaboration: Arash had already been ambushed by Lancelot while trying to fend off Tristan's platoon of knight-enforcers. This included eating an Arondight Overload dead on, and as a reminder, this is a move where Lancelot holds back on his Anti-Army blast until it will all be focused on one target. [[MadeOfIron Arash survives this]]. Once Tristan is driven off by the player party, Chaldea detects an incoming Rhongomyniad blast that reads as being around a ''thousand times more powerful'' than most normal Noble Phantasm attacks, including Excalibur (a hint that there is something very strange about this Altria). Arash tells you all to hide in the caves with the rest of the civilians of the town, he'll handle this. He then proceeds to invoke his NP fully, chant and all, and uses a single arrow to deflect a magical blast with the power of a ''nuclear weapon'', giving his life in the process.

** Related to the above: Bedivere's soul should have undergone a CessationOfExistence at the end of Camelot. Being alive for a millennium and a half stretched his soul to its limit, and each use of Dead End: Airgetlam [[CastFromHitPoints further consumes his soul]]. By the time he hands Excalibur back to the Lion King, his soul should have died. However, the World preserved a record of his deeds in the Singularity, and used that record to preserve him within the Throne of Heroes. Despite, or perhaps ''because'' of the risks and sacrifices he made to accomplish his goal, he was able to go BeyondTheImpossible. And the game mechanics recognize this -- he is given the ''Star'' attribute, an attribute only given to Heroic Spirits who were known not only for their heroic deeds, but also for ''changing the course of human history''. He's the ''only'' Heroic Spirit recorded as preventing the Incineration of Humanity by the Throne of Heroes.

Not only does she manage to actually retain part of her consciousness despite being forcefully transformed into a Laḫmu, she also refuses to fight the protagonists and single handedly takes out a horde of other Laḫmus that are trying to kill Kingu. It may have been her DyingMomentOfAwesome, but it still shows just how amazing a person she was and why [[{{Pride}} Gilgamesh]] chose her as his advisor.
** Tiamat, full stop. The Goddess of Primordial Chaos and Beast of Humanity is not fucking around. The Mother of Life that can destroy the world on her whim is more a natural disaster than a living being, and displays that by completely and effortlessly razing several cities to the ground and even killing the summoned version of ''Merlin'' before she's even fully awake. It takes everything the group has to simply slow her down and the entirety of the fight against her is nothing short of ''amazing.''
*** Even in her weakened and restrained Femme Fatale form, Tiamat still gathers enough power to wipe Uruk off the map in an instant and is only stopped because she allows herself to be.
*** Once Femme Fatale is defeated, its revealed that the chains that were binding her [[WillfullyWeak were Tiamat's own doing.]] She was trying to restrain herself from harming Humanity, her children, but now that you've killed her motherly form, she no longer has to hold back. Tiamat then rises from the primordial sea as a draconic entity so large as to be easily seen on the singularity's map before advancing the Chaos Tide and wiping out several cities, only failing to immediately destroy Uruk because of a last minute interference on Gilgamesh's part.
*** Quetzalcoatl uses her second Noble Phantasm to unleash a miniature sun on Tiamat's Chaos Tide, drying up the primordial sea in an effort to halt the Beast's advances, only for the mother goddess to reveal ''[[IAmNotLeftHanded she can fly.]]'' The Mesopotamian Goddess then uses her second Noble Phantasm and manifests herself as a falling meteor before striking Tiamat. ''It doesn't leave a scratch.''
*** As Tiamat ascends to the skies to lay waste to Uruk, a horde of snakes emerge from the Chaos tide and slam her back into the ground. Gorgon then emerges from the tide, but not the one we knew. Ana has returned in her [[OneWingedAngel adult form]], and she rips off Tiamat's horn, grounding the Beast of Regression for the rest of the singularity.
*** Before Tiamat even reaches Uruk, the city has already been overrun by Laḫmus with only Gilgamesh and eight soldiers still standing. Once Tiamat does reach Uruk, she immediately shows why she is so feared and delivers Gilgamesh a mortal wound. This being [[WorldsStrongestMan Gilgamesh]], it doesn't slow him down a second.
*** The Laḫmus then stage a direct attack on the Ziggurat and pummel it into the ground before eight-thousand of them charge at the party. Just when all hope seems lost, [[EleventhHourRanger Kingu arrives and instantly kills six-thousand of the deranged beasts]] before transforming himself into the Chains of Heaven and binding Tiamat.

** * Related to the above: Bedivere's soul should have undergone a CessationOfExistence at the end of Camelot. Being alive for a millennium and a half stretched his soul to its limit, and each use of Dead End: Airgetlam [[CastFromHitPoints further consumes his soul]]. By the time he hands Excalibur back to the Lion King, his soul should have died. However, the World preserved a record of his deeds in the Singularity, and used that record to preserve him within the Throne of Heroes. Despite, or perhaps ''because'' of the risks and sacrifices he made to accomplish his goal, he was able to go BeyondTheImpossible. And the game mechanics recognize this -- he is given the ''Star'' attribute, an attribute only given to Heroic Spirits who were known not only for their heroic deeds, but also for ''changing the course of human history''. He's the ''only'' Heroic Spirit recorded as preventing the Incineration of Humanity by the Throne of Heroes.

* Babylonia: !!Absolute Demonic Front: Babylonia
It was teased that the seventh singularity would be long and challenging, and it '''''delivers:'''''
** * The villains in this chapter are the alliance of three goddesses trying to overthrow Gilgamesh from Uruk: Tiamat, Ereshkigal, and Quetzalcoatl. You're now fighting against gods!
** * The Axe of Marduk is a gargantuan weapon hundreds of meters long. It requires three groups of hundreds of Wyverns to transport it to the Northern Wall. Once there, Quetzalcoatl simply hurls it all the way to the Bloodfort, shattering the entrance and allowing the rest of the group to take on the final goddess.
** * Gorgon manages to put up an excellent fight against the protagonists. When confronting her at her temple, after having already lost Ushiwakamaru and Benkei, the team throws everything they have at her only for her to shrug it off moments later thanks to her CompleteImmortality.

*** Kingu's sacrifice bought Ereshkigal the time she needed to complete her preparations. With Gilgamesh himself acting as bait, Ishtar [[ColonyDrop fires a conceptual copy of Venus onto Tiamat,]] driving the primordial goddess into the heart of the underworld where she can be killed.

*** Ziusu-dra reveals himself to be ''the'' Old Man of the Mountain, the First Hassan-i Sabbah, and has surrendered his title as Grand in order to fight alongside you. With a single stroke, he cleaves Tiamat's wings from her body and bestows the concept of Death onto an immortal being, showing once again that he is the first and greatest of all Hassans.

*** What makes the above even more satisfying is that, when Hassan sheds his disguise, Tiamat vocally reacts. It's clear that she can tell who he is and what he's there to do. [[OhCrap And it scares the hell out of her.]]
*** Remember when Gilgamesh got serious at the end of ''VisualNovel/FateHollowAtaraxia''? Before dying to Tiamat's injury, with the last of his power and using his own body as a catalyst, Caster Gilgamesh summoned his Archer self who decides to go all out to defend what's left of Babylonia and finally strikes down the corrupt goddess.

** Several Servants from every singularity show up to help you fight them off, with Jeanne making her speech from the first trailer. You have to fight the eight attacking Chaldea, each pillar representing all the singularities you've visited, with each fight having an awesome remix of each singularity's map theme.
** The playerbase was not playing around. Within 48 hours, the combination of the playerbase's pure greed and anger finally killed ''all of the Demon Pillars''.
** Then Solomon unleashes another Demon Pillar, Andromalius. This time, almost all of the event Servants arrive to give you backup! This demon also ends up dead before the day's over. Dantes deserves a specific mention here as the protagonist and Mash push forward he's fighting Andromalius on his own ''and winning''. All while the demon pillar curses at their choice to ever try to include Dantes in their plans to begin with.

** Culminating in the victory scene after defeating the BigBad: ''Singularity, Collapsed.''
** And then there's the final battle. Whew. Epic would be an understatement for describing that event. Let's see...
*** Mash manages to shield the Protagonist from Solomon's Noble Phantasm with her own at the cost of her own life.
*** Dr. Roman reveals himself to be the actual Solomon and promptly uses his final Noble Phantasm, Ars Nova, to completely remove himself from the Throne of Heroes, rendering the fake Solomon vulnerable. The protagonist and their Heroic Spirits then launch all their might at the BigBad, defeating him, all with an orchestrated version of Shikisai playing in the background.
*** The fake Solomon, who is actually one of the Beasts, Demon King Goetia, first tries to directly attack you but you manage to defend yourself against his blows with Mash's shield and use a Command Spell to strengthen yourself and punch him back. This scene is interspersed with others showing that Goetia's control over the Demon Pillars is totally falling apart, with some shutting down, others surrendering and begging for mercy, one losing its mind and eating its companions as it goes on a self-destructive rampage, many choosing to fight on to the bitter end, and a few even outright defecting to the heroes side.
*** As the Timeless Temple collapses Goetia gathers all of his remaining willpower and challenges the protagonist one last time, using Solomon's shattered corpse as a vessel. After another climactic battle he fails once again and dies for good. Consider that Epic of Remnant's events are driven partially because of a Demon Pillar seeking revenge not just because Goetia was defeated, but also because it ''wasn't a Servant who did it.'' Goetia, who was still powerful enough to give many a run for their money even in his dying throes, was [[GameplayAndStorySegregation canonically defeated]] by a near-completely average Master who just happened to be at Chaldea the day he set his plan into motion, using nothing but their Command Spells, their kouhai's shield, and a pure, overwhelming desire to '''[[{{Determinator}} not give up.]]''' God ''damn.''
*** Fou, who is revealed to actually be Beast IV ''and'' Primate Murder, gives up all of his power in order to resurrect Mash, a feat that not even True Magic could accomplish. And with that and your return to Chaldea, the future was saved by a lowly magus (now promoted to the rank of Cause) and their Servant and the Grand Order is complete.

** Meltryllis has fallen into the waste disposal area defending you from a Demon Pillar and Beckman is trying to call you back to the church to regroup. When you refuse and he starts trying to threaten to report you for insubordination when everything is over your response is to simply cut the line on the entitled asshole.
** The final boss battle against the Demonic Bodhisattva is '''awesome'''. She's a Beast, which means you ''can't'' defeat her normally and have to debuff her like mad with the Kiara Punishers you've farmed in the event. But even if you buy every debuff, it's still a very challenging fight! She has 3 HP bars, very fearsome attacks, and her NP removes any buffs you've stacked ''before'' dealing damage. This is all set to an awesome and intense battle theme. All in all, a very intense battle and satisfying ending to the event.
** The two times when Passionlip and Meltryllis use Virgin Laser Palladion:
*** The first time is during an alternate timeline where Kiara won, since only Meltryllis and Passionip were left to stop her. Since all was lost, rather than being aimed at Kiara, it was aimed upward, towards the surface. Due to the unique nature of SE.RA.PH, this resulted in Meltryllis traveling back in time to the beginning, allowing her to KillAndReplace her past self so she can save you without arousing Kiara's suspicion.
*** The second time this time Kiara is losing and she tries to escape by shutting off the gravity field, sending the heroes floating away while Kiara is drifting away with the still sinking SE.RA.PH. Empowered by Command Spell, Meltryllis and Passionlip once again fire off Virgin Laser Palladion, this time in order to deal the finishing blow to Kiara.
** Kiara tries to hijack Melt's body in a desperate last grab at survival only for EMIYA Alter, at this point in his death throes, to muster enough strength to shoot Melt free long enough for Tristan to pull her away and then once again kill the deranged cult leader turned Beast.

** Christopher Columbus is about to revive Megalos after a long hard fight. Cue one normal man sniping Columbus, and uses his own words of "never giving up" against him, allowing Young!Fergus to finish Columbus off.
** Young Fergus shatters Laputa, a ''floating island'', with his Caladbolg.
* Shimosa Province:
** Muramasa's first appearance in the chapter is this as well. Lancer of Purgatorio attacks him and aims to kill him in a single blow, and Muramasa returns with a BigShutUp, sidestepping the attack entirely and taking off Lancer's entire upper body in a single blow. Lancer regenerates in an instant and tells Muramasa that it's of no use... and then Muramasa does it ''again'' with another katana after the first one broke.
** Caster of Limbo tries to win irony points by implanting a Curse of Annihilation on Musashi. The protagonist, someone he's done nothing but look down on, responds with [[StatusBuffDispel Rain of Isis]], shattering his ancient brainwashing curse in one second. Limbo's subsequent VillainousBreakdown is well-deserved.

Even better is that Amakusa had just used a reality marble on the party and they were all backed into a corner only for the new remix to start.

* Prologue:
** Turns out that Sherlock Holmes is an unregistered Servant at Chaldea. This comes to his (and Chaldea's) advantage that he is not banished like other servants, allowing him to smuggle their Saint Graphs and themselves away in advance. His reason for doing so? He ''already saw the crisis coming''.
** Mash, despite being unable to fight as a result of [[BroughtDownToNormal being unable to use any of her Servant abilities]] for a year, urges you to use a Command Spell on her so that she can fight again. Servant or not, she is a brave girl.
** After the group makes a hasty escape from Kirei Kotomine, Anastasia and their army via the emergency shelter, we find out what Da Vinci has prepared for this occasion: [[NinjaPirateZombieRobot a Shadow Border that takes the form of an APC]] ''[[NinjaPirateZombieRobot which can travel through dimensions]]''! Coupled with her BodyDouble, it's quite clear that Da Vinci has a few "aces in the hole" for such a disadvantageous situation.
** Kotomine impaling Da Vinci through the chest is pretty awesome too. Seems like everyone's favorite SinisterMinister still has it.

!!Prologue/December 26, 2017
* Prologue:
**
Turns out that Sherlock Holmes is an unregistered Servant at Chaldea. This comes to his (and Chaldea's) advantage that he is not banished like other servants, allowing him to smuggle their Saint Graphs and themselves away in advance. His reason for doing so? He ''already saw the crisis coming''.
** * Mash, despite being unable to fight as a result of [[BroughtDownToNormal being unable to use any of her Servant abilities]] for a year, urges you to use a Command Spell on her so that she can fight again. Servant or not, she is a brave girl.
** * After the group makes a hasty escape from Kirei Kotomine, Anastasia and their army via the emergency shelter, we find out what Da Vinci has prepared for this occasion: [[NinjaPirateZombieRobot a Shadow Border that takes the form of an APC]] ''[[NinjaPirateZombieRobot which can travel through dimensions]]''! Coupled with her BodyDouble, it's quite clear that Da Vinci has a few "aces in the hole" for such a disadvantageous situation.
** * Kotomine impaling Da Vinci through the chest is pretty awesome too. Seems like everyone's favorite SinisterMinister still has it.

* Götterdämmerung :
** The prologue gives us Kotomine (with a rocket launcher at hand) chasing down the ''Shadow Border'' '''[[CharlesAtlasSuperpower just by running]]'''; even though he's now a Demi-Servant, not many proper servants can achieve this feat. He then catches up to Kadoc (who tried to escape) from behind, faking his death and bring him back to Russia. Not only did he cheat Holmes under his nose, it clearly shows he's one of the greater threats you and your team will face in the future.
** As soon as you enter the Nordic Lostbelt, there are quite few moments for both the protagonists and the antagonists:
*** After the protagonists defeated a group of Jotunn, a masked Servant wielding a demonic sword quickly approaches the ''Shadow Border''. While Goldorf proposes to avoid it by diving into the imaginary numbers space, the Servant simply stops the Shadow Border during its dive, by ''lifting the whole thing and throwing it around'' like a ragdoll, with his bare hands.
*** The masked Servant proceeds to cut through the external armor and the inner multi-layer barrier of Shadow Border - a barrier strengthened by Da Vinci, Paracelsus, and Nitocris in the past with magecraft from the Age of Gods, which Holmes compares to a fort made of divine steel - ''easily'', with his demonic sword. Even Holmes is impressed about it.
*** The masked Servant proceeds to overwhelm Mash and Holmes - not with his demonic sword, but with a simple short sword. He keeps it up for a while before Holmes deduces his identity as Sigurd, the Warrior King of Norse myths and son of Sigmund, and points out a few oddness on him. At which point Sigurd decides to hack the detective's right arm clean off with his demonic sword - Gram - and silently cast a Rune of Death on Holmes, which is powerful enough to force Heroic Spirits to stop all movement lest they face certain death. Both Da Vinci and Holmes quickly realize that such a powerful Rune Magic originates from the Primordial Runes created by Odin himself, passed to Sigurd by Brynhildr. It further cements Ophelia's claims of Sigurd being "the strongest knight".
*** Then there is the reveal that Sigurd wasn't even trying to kill the protagonists. Da Vinci noted that if Sigurd's intention was the Border's destruction, he would not have attacked them the way he did. This is even more impressive when the player knows that as per its myth where it was broken and reforged, Sigurd's Gram is a redesigned version of the original one Gilgamesh used back in ''VisualNovel/FateStayNight'', which would be broken and reforged into the strongest demonic sword, only equaled by the strongest holy sword Excalibur. In other words, it is an ''Anti-Fortress'' Noble Phantasm, and Sigurd could have demolished the Border with it if he had wanted to.
*** On Chaldea's side, the fact that they ''didn't even consider giving up'' despite being told repeatedly by Sigurd about the difference in their power impresses even Sigurd himself - as well as the entity currently occupying and operating Sigurd's body. Sigurd even manages to stop his body from executing the protagonist at the last second, leading the entity within Sigurd to spare Chaldea and leave as soon as he gets what he came for: Chaldea's imaginary navigation system, the compass Paper Moon.
** Napoleon is able to cripple Surtr significantly with his cannon and even when stabbed by the giant, he manages to get in one laugh at how it couldn't even kill him directly with one fell swoop. This act also inspires Ophelia to stand up against Surtr, using her Sirius Light to sever the link between them, finally giving Chaldea a chance to take down the King of the Giants.

*** Qin Shi Huang himself gets one soon after. After the above near death experience, he genuinely comes to respect Proper Human History and their achievements, so much so that he [[LetsFightLikeGentlemen willingly engages with them in an honorable duel]], not out of hatred or malice, but to see once and for all which of their worlds has the right to live on as humanity's future. And when he loses, he accepts it like the graceful Emperor that he is and even personally helps Chaldea take down the Tree of Emptiness soon after. As Da Vinci puts it, he's been alive for so long that nothing, not even his world being pruned from history, can make him succumb to despair.

Even though she effectively has infinite versions of herself, Munenori is able to cut them down at a consistent pace, and with help of Kasuga tries to go for the kill.

And unlike the first time where he took the wheel because Holmes was unavailable, this time it's because ''Goredolf is the better driver''.

This version of Artemis is even stronger than Panhuman history's and has all the power and Authority that entails, making Heracles' God Hand practically useless against her.

*** After fighting to resist control from Odysseus, Charlotte finally ends him in a MutualKill.
*** Once again, Achilles faces the Lostbelt version of his teacher, Chiron and dies fighting him as Chaldea faces off Artemis' True Form.
*** Hektor, being summoned by Achilles to help the rest of the crew, blocks one of Artemis' lasers by throwing Durindana with enough force to tear his right arm off. Mandricardo then takes the Durindana to block off another shot from Artemis at the cost of his own life.
*** Paris, with the help of Apollo's Authority, turns himself into an arrow which would be used by Orion to destroy Artemis.
*** Orion gives up his status as a Grand Archer so he can take down Artemis who is in orbit. [[https://youtu.be/sufIhQorf1I?t=4m59s And then the cutscene of Orion shooting down Artemis]]. Yes, a ''[[AnimationBump cutscene]]'' in a similar style to something like ''VisualNovel/WitchOnTheHolyNight''.
*** Finally, Jason sacrifices himself to defeat Chiron.
* Olympus then does the impossible and proceeds to outdo Atlantis in terms of awesomeness as well as difficulty:
** First of all, there are the EVEN MORE ridiculous ways that the Olympians must be fought in, for example:
*** The defeat of Aphrodite: Mash just straight up changes her servant class to GUNNER just to equip a huge laser cannon - The Black Barrel - and shoots her with it, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PwtHI94qu08 she gets her own animated cutscene for it.]]
*** The above forgot about the first time Mash unleashed her GUNNER class as well as the first time the cutscene happens: It's during the Demeter fight. Right after you beat Demeter, she then shows that her Shield now has a laser cannon, which as the above said, is ''The'' [[Literature/AngelNotes Black Barrel]] (Who the hell expected this?) [[note]]This is from one Nasu's oldest works and sets the foundations for many concepts of the entire universe.[[/note]] Which she then fires at Demeter, finally defeating the goddess (and considering the absolute ''[[ThatOneBoss hell]]'' of a boss fight she was, it's really cathartic to watch). [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EC_rBRl3QMQ The first time that Black Barrel Replica is fired.]]
** Pepe gets his revenge against Ashiya Douman for messing with the Indian Lostbelt by destroying his shikigami bodies and preventing him from ever escaping death again. After all the crap Douman has pulled, watching his body break apart while cursing Pepe is [[CatharsisFactor very satisfying]].
** The battle against '''[[TopGod Zeus]]''' who possesses the Authorities of the other Olympians. He destroys a Giant Mecha the protagonists were utilizing only for Chaldea to turn the tables against him by using said mecha as a catalyst to summon Ares from Panhuman History to help out. The Grand Lancer, Romulus Quirinus, then shows up to neutralize Zeus' Authority, allowing Mash to finish him off with the Black Barrel!
** Musashi's HeroicSacrifice in a bid to sever the link between Olympus and the Void that Chaos resides in, given the latter's nigh-invincible nature. [[BeyondTheImpossible With a single impossible slash that cuts the Void]], she reaches '''Beyond Zero''' and achieves the true emptiness she has been chasing for so long, with the price being her entire existence across all timelines.
** Of the many, ''many'' awesome moments in this chapter, the greatest is without a doubt a dying Wodime ''[[DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu kicking a fully descended Foreign God out of the Lostbelt to save Chaldea.]]'' Did we mention that said Foreign God is also known as '''[[TheDreaded Beast VII]]'''? That's right, Wodime took on the [[FinalBoss ultimate enemy of FGO]] ''and forced it back off of Earth.'' While bleeding out from the stab wound Beryl inflicted. Ace of the A-team indeed.
** Beryl manages to stab Wodime, but the only reason he was able to do so is because Kirschtaria was too busy blocking a ''Rhongomyniad blast from the Britain Lostbelt'' to defend himself.
** It should be noted that while Beast VII didn't actually take any damage from Wodime, his action surprised it enough that it chose to pause the invasion for some time, so he still did the best for us.
* Heian-kyō:
** The lead-up to the final battle with Douman has him fusing with the Tree of Emptiness after having it absorb Ibuki-Douji, the resident Lostbelt King, ascending to a near-Beast level threat. What does Kintoki do? He calls a massive bolt of lightning down to summon the ''Golden Huge Bear'' (the [[HumongousMecha mecha]] mentioned above)! Not only that, Ibuki manages to partly fight off the assimilation to lend Kintoki her ''Sword of Kusanagi'', and in all in a wonderfully animated ''cutscene'', to boot!
** Abe no Seimei, while not appearing in person, helped the team all the way up to the final battle, including [[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech taunting Douman directly]] for why he can't become a proper Beast.
** The final battle with Douman ends with him trying to taunt Chaldea while getting away, only for [[LaserGuidedKarma Danzo to be the one to deal the final blow with her Moonflower Noble Phantasm.]]
* Avalon le Fae:
** Pepe [[HeroicSacrifice dies protecting us]] from humans infected by the Mors, but not before [[LastBreathBullet paying Beryl back]] for his betrayal by [[HoistByHisOwnPetard unleashing the curses HE released just to torture other humans]]. It is [[CatharsisFactor IMMENSELY SATISFYING]] to see [[HateSink that smug bastard]] finally receiving his comeuppance.
*** Not to mention he spends 3 minutes to kill ''500 infected humans'' while taking all said curses for himself so that he gives Beryl some payback.
** Muramasa once again proves his chops as the UltimateBlacksmith by performing a HeroicSacrifice in order to forge Excalibur for Altria Caster[[note]]Keep in mind that in PHH, it took the sacrifice of ''Six True Ancestor level Fairies'' to forge it[[/note]]. Even more awesome is that he not only prevents her from sacrificing herself to forge the sword, but he also [[LoopholeAbuse manages to escape the Foreign God's control over him.]]
** During Mash's battle against Barghest in her Black Dog form, the conditions are just right that Mash is able to summon ''the PHH versions of Gawain and Lancelot'' on her own to temporarily fight by her side.
*** Even better, should you summon Barghest after clearing the sixth Lostbelt, '''she remembers this'''. Her fourth ascension line also goes from despair to hope, as the glory of the Knights of the Round Table give her enough HeroicWillpower to overcome the curse.
*** When she possessed Galahad's power during her amensia, she actually fought Fae Knight Lancelot, ''the strongest fighter in the Lostbelt except Morgan'', to a standstill, even for only just a while.
** The heroes finally putting Cernunnos down by a combination of 12 Rhongomyniad-turned-Excalibur, the stored up magic that Morgan stole from her subjects and the Black Barrel to destroy the Horned God’s curse stuffed corpse.
** After everything is said and done, Oberon returns and reveals that not only is he the final calamity, but his true identity as [[CanonCharacterAllAlong Vortigern]] of the Pretender class is also showcased as he transforms into a gigantic DraconicAbomination as he’s finally free to enact his plan to devour Britain and destroy Proper Human History unless Chaldea stops him in the final battle.
*** The real kicker of this? [[TheBadGuyWins He still got what he wanted.]] While he’s beaten before he could break into PHH the damage he does to Britain during the final battle is enough that Cosmos Denial begins to set in.
** When it looks like Aurora has a chance to escape the collapsing Lostbelt with Melusine, the latter [[KickTheSonOfABitch simply stabs her]] and leaves her to bleed out, as she knows that Aurora’s delusional purpose of wanting to be the brightest and most loved person would be unachievable in PHH.[[note]]Though some may regret to not stop Melusine from doing so, because perhaps having her go to PHH anyway and realizing firsthand that her dream ends up being impossible, [[BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor giving her an extreme case of]] FateWorseThanDeath, would be equally cathartic, but either way Aurora is doomed anyway.[[/note]] Some also see this as Melusine's act as a MercyKill, but the fact that [[AndThisIsFor someone finally killed Aurora for all the shit she did]] (including her betrayal of [[NobleDemon Knocknarea]] for petty reasons) still helps.
*** Even if [[EvenEvilHasStandards he's not at the level of fellow Feys]], Spriggan got [[DroppedABridgeOnHim unceremoniously crushed in his own house]] is also cathartic comeuppance for his betrayal of [[TragicVillain Morgan]].
* Traum:
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=umI5MATgOPE&ab_channel=SasakiVShen Charlemagne's formal introduction in its entirety.]] During the Paladins' faction and Chaldea's offence into enemy territory, Don Quixote suffers the receiving end of a CurbStompBattle delivered by Constantine. Before a killing blow can be dealt, [[BigDamnHeroes Charlie unveils himself]] with the same flair and sprite animations as Altria Caster's return at the end of Avalon, feathers scattering from the [[PowerGivesYouWings wings formed by his Noble Phantasm]] and challenges Constantine with his full might. The week prior to Traum's release, a set of quests ran with the objective to keep certain Roman Servants standing for 7 turns in which [[NoSell Theodosius Constantinos would be crucial]], making it [[TheWorfEffect all the more stunning]] when '''[[BeyondTheImpossible Charlie's Joyeuse Ordre completely demolishes it]]'''. Given his fixation on looking awesome, Charlie [[BadassInCharge understood the assignment]] and ''ran'' with it.
** Despite being viewed as ButtMonkey and/or MemeticLoser by the fandom, Siegfried, Astolfo and Roland reminds everyone why they're still being feared and respected as some of the top Servants in the lore:
*** Siegfried [[ParryingBullets parries]] Minamoto-no-Tametomo's Moonlight Artillery, which is stated that each shot is as strong as an ICBM, with his Balmung, an act that is considered impossible since even one breaks through [[StoneWall Constantine's Theodosius Constantinos]]; Siegfried just NoSell it with his SwordBeam. Then Tametomo fires up and fires '''three''' shots at him all at once...And Siegfried precisely neutralizes two of them while tanking the third. Result: A slightly injured Siegfried and no damage to the united army.
*** The above is immediately followed by Astolfo's SelfDestructiveCharge against Tametomo, the later even switches to [[RainOfArrows spamming magical arrows]] on the aggressor, and despite Astolfo and his Hippogriff's best efforts they're heavily injured, but the determined Astolfo still manages to hang on and uses Trap of Argalia to trip Tametomo, effectively cutting his mana source and thus defeats him.
*** When the united army fails to break through the Retribution Gate leading to Kriemhild's realm, Roland [[RetGone offers his whole existence in this Singularity]] to Durendal's hilt so that it will create a miracle that will open the gate. It does, and everyone forgets he even existed (thus the gate is seen opened with no reason at all), but victory is assured because of his act.
** Sherlock Holmes's death, while incredibly [[TearJerker heartbreaking and tragic,]] also served to completely screw over not only Ruler Moriarty's Plans[[note]]Who made him remember that his original summoner was the Foreign God, and was banking on Holmes betraying Chaldea so that Moriarty could swoop in and take over.[[/note]] but also the plans of the Foreign God.[[note]]Who summoned Holmes as it's true First Disciple all the way back in the London Singularity in order to assist in taking down Goetia, and to also infiltrate Chaldea as both a spy and to perform an unknown role[[/note]] After all, since both plans for Holmes involves him promplty betraying Chaldea now that the truth is out, [[CuttingTheKnot he does the simplest (though the most extreme) thing possible to wreck both schemes]]. [[HeroicSacrifice Cue him jumping off of the bridge and into the waterfall below. As dying before betraying Chaldea renders both Ruler Moriarty and the Foreign God's plans for him no longer possible! [[GoOutWithASmile Cue him contentedly smiling as he falls into the rushing water below.]] Knowing for sure that everyone at Chaldea will win the battle against the Foreign God.
*** Not to mention, Holmes' death also really screws over Ruler Moriarty in the short term to boot. At first, he is pleased that he finally managed to best his eternal rival, only for his older counter part '''Archer of Shinjuku Moriarty''' to mentally contact him, just to tell his younger self that he screwed up royally. The two then argue a bit before the older counterpart promplty asks him: [[AndThenWhat Is there not work left to be done]]? [[VillainousBreakdown Cue him freaking out royally]] when he finally realizes [[DidntThinkThisThrough that with Holmes dead before he could betray Chaldea, his original plan is now kaput and he did not bother to make any immediate back-up scheme.]] More over, his [[WindsOfDestinyChange fate manipulation powers]] rely on the [[Myth/NorseMythology Norns]] to manipulate his own fate to make himself [[HopelessBossFight invincible.]] But as he originally died after he and Holmes fell down the Reichenback waterfall, his story basically ended right then and there. Now that very same scenario has been repeated, albeit with Ruler Moriarty now surviving and as such his fate has once more concluded. [[LogicalWeakness His fate manipulation powers promplty fizzled out as the Norn cannot change a fate that has concluded.]] Now he has to face off against Chaldea without his [[ContractualBossImmunity invincibility]] in play, especially against a pissed off Ritsuka. Suffice to say, he won the battle but lost the war, just like his older counterpart did in Shinjuku. Well played Holmes, well played.
* Nahui Mictlan:
** Deciding not to mess around, the '''Foreign God''' herself decides skip the usual narrative flow to become our welcoming party and attacks the Storm Border. Sporting '''6''' total health bars, you need to deplete the first two (around ''750,000'' HP in total) to proceed. Also she has no class weaknesses. If it wasn't for outside interference, we would be dead right there.
*** Chaldea's only ace in the hole against this thing? The "Human Order Theorem-Future Proof", the idea that humanity is the legitimate dominant lifeform on Earth. Fusing the concepts of "Excalibur" and "Rayshifting", it doesn't give the Storm Border a WaveMotionGun as much as ''[[https://static.atlasacademy.io/JP/Movie/talk_mov149.mp4 turn]]'' the Storm Border into one. And we have an absolutely gorgeous sequence [[https://static.atlasacademy.io/JP/Movie/talk_mov150.mp4 of firing it]] against her.
** The sight of [[VillainTeamUp gathering U-Olga Marie, Rasputin and Koyanskaya]] ''[[EnemyMine together on our side]]'' during the first half is incredible enough, but they all have shining moments in between:
*** U-Olga Marie (who's under IdentityAmnesia) is pretty much [[BlueAndOrangeMorality living like a real alien who just arrived on Earth]] and don't understand much about the whole conflict between Pan-Human History and the Lostbelts. When the Nemo Marine she befriends along the way [[KilledOffForReal dies horribly by the hands of Izcalli]], she becomes ''[[UnstoppableRage absolutely ballistic]]'' and melts every Ocelomeh on the scene with her thunder.
*** Later on she manages to tank attack from ''ORT'' (see below), even for just a little while, and [[GetAHoldOfYourselfMan tell the protagonist to get up and keep on fighting]].
*** Rasputin purifies Kingprotea from Xochitónal's control just by his praying chants.
*** Koyanskaya [[BigDamnHeroes arrives just in time]] to save the surviving Chaldea gang from Izcalli and his Ocelomeh.
** The finale of the first half:
*** Kukulkan's CurbStompBattle against Tlaloc as the later tries absolutely ''wailing'' on the former with everything she has. However, Kukulkan is completely [[NoSell unharmed]] by Tlaloc's attacks, and she proceeds to strike back with ''one'' punch [[PunchedAcrossTheRoom that sends Tlaloc flying]]. Quite a showcase of power for this Lostbelt King.
*** After decades of hype as the Nasuverse's ace, ORT has finally decide to engage us in response to the Foreign God trying to hijack it, allowing us to see it in action for the first time. Engage? I mean '''[[HopelessBossFight absolutely crush]]''' all parties involved. It has '''''[[ReadingsAreOffTheScale 10]]''''' break bars with the ''1 million'' as the first, ''10 million'' at the second and if you are actually good/insane enough, '''''[[https://imgur.com/a/0acqr8c 100 million]]''''' at the third. Even the Foreign God who decides to jump in when your party gets wiped throws a black hole at it...only for it to deal ''average damage''. One last piece of info, his level in that "fight" is '''''1'''''. Dataminers have determined his total health to be '''3,591,250,000'''.

to:

** * All the Argonauts and their Pan-Human History allies sacrifice their lives to help Chaldea make way to Olympus:
*** ** Chiyome stays behind so she can implant herself inside Echidna's womb, putting her snake curse on all of the offsprings.
*** ** After fighting to resist control from Odysseus, Charlotte finally ends him in a MutualKill.
*** ** Once again, Achilles faces the Lostbelt version of his teacher, Chiron and dies fighting him as Chaldea faces off Artemis' True Form.
*** ** Hektor, being summoned by Achilles to help the rest of the crew, blocks one of Artemis' lasers by throwing Durindana with enough force to tear his right arm off. Mandricardo then takes the Durindana to block off another shot from Artemis at the cost of his own life.
*** ** Paris, with the help of Apollo's Authority, turns himself into an arrow which would be used by Orion to destroy Artemis.
*** ** Orion gives up his status as a Grand Archer so he can take down Artemis who is in orbit. [[https://youtu.be/sufIhQorf1I?t=4m59s And then the cutscene of Orion shooting down Artemis]]. Yes, a ''[[AnimationBump cutscene]]'' in a similar style to something like ''VisualNovel/WitchOnTheHolyNight''.
*** ** Finally, Jason sacrifices himself to defeat Chiron.
* !!Olympus: Interstellar Mountainous City
Olympus then does the impossible and proceeds to outdo Atlantis in terms of awesomeness as well as difficulty:
** * First of all, there are the EVEN MORE ridiculous ways that the Olympians must be fought in, for example:
*** ** The defeat of Aphrodite: Mash just straight up changes her servant class to GUNNER just to equip a huge laser cannon - The Black Barrel - and shoots her with it, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PwtHI94qu08 she gets her own animated cutscene for it.]]
*** ** The above forgot about the first time Mash unleashed her GUNNER class as well as the first time the cutscene happens: It's during the Demeter fight. Right after you beat Demeter, she then shows that her Shield now has a laser cannon, which as the above said, is ''The'' [[Literature/AngelNotes Black Barrel]] (Who the hell expected this?) [[note]]This is from one Nasu's oldest works and sets the foundations for many concepts of the entire universe.[[/note]] Which she then fires at Demeter, finally defeating the goddess (and considering the absolute ''[[ThatOneBoss hell]]'' of a boss fight she was, it's really cathartic to watch). [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EC_rBRl3QMQ The first time that Black Barrel Replica is fired.]]
** * Pepe gets his revenge against Ashiya Douman for messing with the Indian Lostbelt by destroying his shikigami bodies and preventing him from ever escaping death again. After all the crap Douman has pulled, watching his body break apart while cursing Pepe is [[CatharsisFactor very satisfying]].
** * The battle against '''[[TopGod Zeus]]''' who possesses the Authorities of the other Olympians. He destroys a Giant Mecha the protagonists were utilizing only for Chaldea to turn the tables against him by using said mecha as a catalyst to summon Ares from Panhuman History to help out. The Grand Lancer, Romulus Quirinus, then shows up to neutralize Zeus' Authority, allowing Mash to finish him off with the Black Barrel!
** * Musashi's HeroicSacrifice in a bid to sever the link between Olympus and the Void that Chaos resides in, given the latter's nigh-invincible nature. [[BeyondTheImpossible With a single impossible slash that cuts the Void]], she reaches '''Beyond Zero''' and achieves the true emptiness she has been chasing for so long, with the price being her entire existence across all timelines.
** * Of the many, ''many'' awesome moments in this chapter, the greatest is without a doubt a dying Wodime ''[[DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu kicking a fully descended Foreign God out of the Lostbelt to save Chaldea.]]'' Did we mention that said Foreign God is also known as '''[[TheDreaded Beast VII]]'''? That's right, Wodime took on the [[FinalBoss ultimate enemy of FGO]] ''and forced it back off of Earth.'' While bleeding out from the stab wound Beryl inflicted. Ace of the A-team indeed.
** * Beryl manages to stab Wodime, but the only reason he was able to do so is because Kirschtaria was too busy blocking a ''Rhongomyniad blast from the Britain Lostbelt'' to defend himself.
** * It should be noted that while Beast VII didn't actually take any damage from Wodime, his action surprised it enough that it chose to pause the invasion for some time, so he still did the best for us.
!!Naraka Mandala, Heian-kyo - Thunderous Flash
* Heian-kyō:
**
The lead-up to the final battle with Douman has him fusing with the Tree of Emptiness after having it absorb Ibuki-Douji, the resident Lostbelt King, ascending to a near-Beast level threat. What does Kintoki do? He calls a massive bolt of lightning down to summon the ''Golden Huge Bear'' (the [[HumongousMecha mecha]] mentioned above)! Not only that, Ibuki manages to partly fight off the assimilation to lend Kintoki her ''Sword of Kusanagi'', and in all in a wonderfully animated ''cutscene'', to boot!
** * Abe no Seimei, while not appearing in person, helped the team all the way up to the final battle, including [[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech taunting Douman directly]] for why he can't become a proper Beast.
** * The final battle with Douman ends with him trying to taunt Chaldea while getting away, only for [[LaserGuidedKarma Danzo to be the one to deal the final blow with her Moonflower Noble Phantasm.]]

Pepe [[HeroicSacrifice dies protecting us]] from humans infected by the Mors, but not before [[LastBreathBullet paying Beryl back]] for his betrayal by [[HoistByHisOwnPetard unleashing the curses HE released just to torture other humans]]. It is [[CatharsisFactor IMMENSELY SATISFYING]] to see [[HateSink that smug bastard]] finally receiving his comeuppance.
*** ** Not to mention he spends 3 minutes to kill ''500 infected humans'' while taking all said curses for himself so that he gives Beryl some payback.
** * Muramasa once again proves his chops as the UltimateBlacksmith by performing a HeroicSacrifice in order to forge Excalibur for Altria Caster[[note]]Keep in mind that in PHH, it took the sacrifice of ''Six True Ancestor level Fairies'' to forge it[[/note]]. Even more awesome is that he not only prevents her from sacrificing herself to forge the sword, but he also [[LoopholeAbuse manages to escape the Foreign God's control over him.]]
** * During Mash's battle against Barghest in her Black Dog form, the conditions are just right that Mash is able to summon ''the PHH versions of Gawain and Lancelot'' on her own to temporarily fight by her side.
*** ** Even better, should you summon Barghest after clearing the sixth Lostbelt, '''she remembers this'''. Her fourth ascension line also goes from despair to hope, as the glory of the Knights of the Round Table give her enough HeroicWillpower to overcome the curse.
*** ** When she possessed Galahad's power during her amensia, she actually fought Fae Knight Lancelot, ''the strongest fighter in the Lostbelt except Morgan'', to a standstill, even for only just a while.
** * The heroes finally putting Cernunnos down by a combination of 12 Rhongomyniad-turned-Excalibur, the stored up magic that Morgan stole from her subjects and the Black Barrel to destroy the Horned God’s curse stuffed corpse.
** * After everything is said and done, Oberon returns and reveals that not only is he the final calamity, but his true identity as [[CanonCharacterAllAlong Vortigern]] of the Pretender class is also showcased as he transforms into a gigantic DraconicAbomination as he’s finally free to enact his plan to devour Britain and destroy Proper Human History unless Chaldea stops him in the final battle.
*** ** The real kicker of this? [[TheBadGuyWins He still got what he wanted.]] While he’s beaten before he could break into PHH the damage he does to Britain during the final battle is enough that Cosmos Denial begins to set in.
** * When it looks like Aurora has a chance to escape the collapsing Lostbelt with Melusine, the latter [[KickTheSonOfABitch simply stabs her]] and leaves her to bleed out, as she knows that Aurora’s delusional purpose of wanting to be the brightest and most loved person would be unachievable in PHH.[[note]]Though some may regret to not stop Melusine from doing so, because perhaps having her go to PHH anyway and realizing firsthand that her dream ends up being impossible, [[BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor giving her an extreme case of]] FateWorseThanDeath, would be equally cathartic, but either way Aurora is doomed anyway.[[/note]] Some also see this as Melusine's act as a MercyKill, but the fact that [[AndThisIsFor someone finally killed Aurora for all the shit she did]] (including her betrayal of [[NobleDemon Knocknarea]] for petty reasons) still helps.
*** ** Even if [[EvenEvilHasStandards he's not at the level of fellow Feys]], Spriggan got [[DroppedABridgeOnHim unceremoniously crushed in his own house]] is also cathartic comeuppance for his betrayal of [[TragicVillain Morgan]].
!! Traum: Life and Death of a Certain Fantasy
* Traum:
**
[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=umI5MATgOPE&ab_channel=SasakiVShen Charlemagne's formal introduction in its entirety.]] During the Paladins' faction and Chaldea's offence into enemy territory, Don Quixote suffers the receiving end of a CurbStompBattle delivered by Constantine. Before a killing blow can be dealt, [[BigDamnHeroes Charlie unveils himself]] with the same flair and sprite animations as Altria Caster's return at the end of Avalon, feathers scattering from the [[PowerGivesYouWings wings formed by his Noble Phantasm]] and challenges Constantine with his full might. The week prior to Traum's release, a set of quests ran with the objective to keep certain Roman Servants standing for 7 turns in which [[NoSell Theodosius Constantinos would be crucial]], making it [[TheWorfEffect all the more stunning]] when '''[[BeyondTheImpossible Charlie's Joyeuse Ordre completely demolishes it]]'''. Given his fixation on looking awesome, Charlie [[BadassInCharge understood the assignment]] and ''ran'' with it.
** * Despite being viewed as ButtMonkey and/or MemeticLoser by the fandom, Siegfried, Astolfo and Roland reminds everyone why they're still being feared and respected as some of the top Servants in the lore:
*** ** Siegfried [[ParryingBullets parries]] Minamoto-no-Tametomo's Moonlight Artillery, which is stated that each shot is as strong as an ICBM, with his Balmung, an act that is considered impossible since even one breaks through [[StoneWall Constantine's Theodosius Constantinos]]; Siegfried just NoSell it with his SwordBeam. Then Tametomo fires up and fires '''three''' shots at him all at once...And Siegfried precisely neutralizes two of them while tanking the third. Result: A slightly injured Siegfried and no damage to the united army.
*** ** The above is immediately followed by Astolfo's SelfDestructiveCharge against Tametomo, the later even switches to [[RainOfArrows spamming magical arrows]] on the aggressor, and despite Astolfo and his Hippogriff's best efforts they're heavily injured, but the determined Astolfo still manages to hang on and uses Trap of Argalia to trip Tametomo, effectively cutting his mana source and thus defeats him.
*** ** When the united army fails to break through the Retribution Gate leading to Kriemhild's realm, Roland [[RetGone offers his whole existence in this Singularity]] to Durendal's hilt so that it will create a miracle that will open the gate. It does, and everyone forgets he even existed (thus the gate is seen opened with no reason at all), but victory is assured because of his act.
** * Sherlock Holmes's death, while incredibly [[TearJerker heartbreaking and tragic,]] also served to completely screw over not only Ruler Moriarty's Plans[[note]]Who made him remember that his original summoner was the Foreign God, and was banking on Holmes betraying Chaldea so that Moriarty could swoop in and take over.[[/note]] but also the plans of the Foreign God.[[note]]Who summoned Holmes as it's true First Disciple all the way back in the London Singularity in order to assist in taking down Goetia, and to also infiltrate Chaldea as both a spy and to perform an unknown role[[/note]] After all, since both plans for Holmes involves him promplty betraying Chaldea now that the truth is out, [[CuttingTheKnot he does the simplest (though the most extreme) thing possible to wreck both schemes]].

Normally, this would be a ThatOneBoss or even a HopelessBossFight... but Ryougi Shiki (Saber) [[BigDamnHeroes shows up and becomes your sole support]]. Play your cards right and watch as Shiki ''utterly annihilates all three ghosts'' with her Noble Phantasm.
* "Fate/Accel Zero Order":
** Future Waver taking Kayneth for a ride by tricking him into thinking he's important in the future and the Holy Grail War is a conspiracy against him. Kayneth ends up falling for it and leaves Fuyuki with his wife, leaving Diarmuid free to help the heroes.
** El-Melloi II's CrazyEnoughToWork plan to take out [[WorldsStrongestMan Gilgamesh]] consists of assembling a few Servants together and having them simply walk up to his face and challenge him to combat. El-Melloi II's reasoning is that Gilgamesh's ego will lead him to hold back against someone who's fighting head-on to assert his dominance, whereas if he was ambushed he would reflexively use his full power to defend himself. And it ''worked''.
** The third and final battle against the mystery Assassin. Fed up with your constant interference, Assassin doesn't even bother using his Presence Concealment to ambush you, instead simply walking right up to you and challenging you to one final, all or nothing duel. In the fight itself, Assassin pulls out all the stops, using his full power against you all while "The Battle is to the Strongest" plays in the background.
** Iskander charging through the Matou Manor, rescuing Sakura and burning the place to the ground. Then he uses Sakura as a bargaining chip to convince Kariya to cut off his Command Seal arm, saving his life from the Crest Worms since they only want mana.
** Iskander (even after knowing the truth of this War) doesn't want to go down without fighting, so he challenges your party. Old Waver (Zhuge Liang), joins your party, making this the fight of the greatest King of Conquerors versus the Legendary Tactician of Three Kingdoms. In the end, El-Melloi II ''defeats'' Iskander's Ionioi Hetairoi with his Stone Sentinel Maze. Iskander then disappears after praising old Waver, that he has finally surpassed him.
** At the Greater Grail cave, Lancelot, with Zouken as his Master, injuring old Waver so he can't fight anymore. Your party fights him, but Zouken immediately uses a Command Spell to make Lancelot use his Knight of Honor NP! This is the second scripted battle scene, after Saber Alter's back in Zeroth Order.
** The final Grand Battle against Dark Irisviel, with [[SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic Point Zero]] playing full-force in the background. The buildup in the preceding cutscene is also awesome, with many ''Fate/Zero'' tracks building up the atmosphere for the imminent fight and El-Melloi II giving the younger Waver his own fusion with Zhuge Liang.
** TheStinger, where Angra Mainyu reveals his presence to the mystery Assassin after the heroes have defeated Dark Irisviel and left for Chaldea.

The "Onigashima" event also includes raid battles, only this time the raids unlocked 10 minutes after defeating the previous raid. In about ''3 days'', the community breezed through '''the entire event'''.
** * The June 2017 Rerun is even crazier due to the inclusion of [[GameBreaker Merlin]], with Ibaraki [[https://www.reddit.com/r/grandorder/comments/6eeorl/day_1_battle_meter_depleted/ losing]] her Day One '''3 trillion''' HP in just around '''''3 and a half hours'''''. Fans summed up the event saying that she was [[https://www.reddit.com/r/grandorder/comments/6ef32a/rashoumon_in_a_nutshell/ bullied]] so hard even more than Barbartos, that the later players woke up to an Oni already beaten black and blue all over before they even started playing the event!! Let's see the rest of the days:

** When the event was coming to the North American server, many were wondering whether or not the developers would modify Ibaraki's health pool to account for the NA playerbase being roughly half the size of Japan's during their first raid. The developers responded by...[[InsaneTrollLogic raising her HP on the second day by five-hundred billion.]] Even with these handicaps, the players still managed to defeat Ibaraki at every stage of the event.
* Chaldea Summer 2016:
** Scathach can create almost anything with runes. Her creations range from a rocket ship to an ''interdimensional portal.''
** Martha's personal quest on part 2, beside full of memes, is actually awesome. It's Beowulf vs. Martha, a (technically) one-on-one fisticuff battle. Martha shows how awesome her hand-to-hand combat technique that she inherits from Jacob (that can wrestle an angel), and defeating Beowulf with a cross-counter. This shows that Martha is not a pacifist saint that prefer to preach to her enemies, but punch them into submission (just like what happened to Tarrasque).

** A bit of meta-awesome is that, thanks to how the timing shook out and how fast the Pillars died, the final battle was unlocked, for Japan, ''on Christmas Day''. Team Chaldea ''literally saved Christmas'' by defeating Goetia, a fact that fanart did not miss.



** Sengo Muramasa's BadassBoast against Amakusa Shirou, with [[ThemeMusicPowerUp a brand-new remix]] [[{{Leitmotif}} of EMIYA]] playing. Even better is that Amakusa had just used a reality marble on the party and they were all backed into a corner only for the new remix to start. And any fan of the ''Fate'' franchise knows that whenever EMIYA starts playing the tables are about to be turned and ''serious ass is about to be kicked.''

** The above description does not do justice. To elaborate: stopping Surtr is, by all conventional means, impossible. His sword has priority over all living things, a kind of absolute affinity usually only reserved for the Beast class.

** A meta example: Creator/SayakaOhara gave her voice to ''four'' different boss versions of Irisviel that only appear after the main story is over.

By the end of the Singularity, he basically has defeated all the other Servants in the Grail War with the exception of Berserker.
*** Cu probably gives one of the best examples of someone using their knowledge of an enemy Servant's identity and abilities to their advantage, which despite all the talk about it hardly shows up in the franchise. According to the old ''Fate'' guidebooks, Cu's Protection from Arrows skill won't save him from explosive arrows, meaning EMIYA's Broken Phantasms should normally be super-effective against him. However, because Cu knows about EMIYA's abilities, he is able to easily and deftly counter them by setting up an imitation of Scathach's Gate of Skye, allowing him to warp away Broken Phantasms before they have a chance to detonate.
*** On a meta level, being free from his Lancer class in an animated adaptation means Cu has also finally dropped his infamous bad luck and we really get to see what he can do.

Likewise, while it's difficult to fully tell who's the more powerful mage, Cu has one thing over Medea: he may not have Gae Bolg with him, but he still has his spear skills, so he's far from helpless up-close and personal.

Fusing the concepts of "Excalibur" and "Rayshifting", it doesn't give the Storm Border a WaveMotionGun as much as ''[[https://static.atlasacademy.io/JP/Movie/talk_mov149.mp4 turn]]'' the Storm Border into one. One last hail-mary from Chaldea [[https://static.atlasacademy.io/JP/Movie/talk_mov150.mp4 fired]] against ORT. Remember, this is the weapon that we were saving for the ''Foreign God''.

Rumor that Multiple people who have completed the Chapter has said is not true and that they have no idea where the rumor has come from


*** After decades of hype as the Nasuverse's ace, ORT has finally decide to engage us in response to the Foreign God trying to hijack it, allowing us to see it in action for the first time. Engage? I mean '''[[HopelessBossFight absolutely crush]]''' all parties involved. It has '''''[[BrokeTheRatingScale 10]]''''' break bars with the ''1 million'' as the first, ''10 million'' at the second and if you are actually good/insane enough, '''''[[https://imgur.com/a/0acqr8c 100 million]]''''' at the third. Any Servants excluding Mash that gets owned by it will be absorbed into it, rendering them ''unplayable'' for the rest of the Lostbelt's main quests. Even the Foreign God who decides to jump in when your party gets wiped throws a black hole at it...only for it to deal ''average damage''. By the way, you need to break the first bar to proceed, so prepare your {{sacrificial lion}}s. One last piece of info, his level in that "fight" is '''''1'''''. Dataminers have determined his total health to be '''3,591,250,000'''.

* Nahui Mictlan:
** Deciding not to mess around, the '''Foreign God''' herself decides skip the usual narrative flow to become our welcoming party and attacks the Storm Border. Sporting '''5''' break bars, you need to break the first two (around ''400 thousand'' in total) to proceed. Also she has no class weaknesses. If it wasn't for outside interference, we would be dead right there.

** Muramasa's first appearance in the chapter is this as well. Lancer of Purgatorio attacks him and aims to kill him in a single blow, and Muramasa returns with a BigShutUp, sidestepping the attack entirely and taking off Lancer's entire upper body in a single blow. Lancer regenerates in an instant and tells Muramasa that it's of no use... and then Muramasa does it ''again'' with another katana after the first one broke.
