** Special mention to the fact that at one point she stops Lancer's spear with just a finger. Even if Brynhild and her spear are powered by the love she feels for her targets, [[ZeroPercentApprovalRating to which she feels nothing at all for Manaka]], the latter is still basically standing against a Heroic Spirit of legend, and Manaka's basic reaction is amusement.

** Archer gets a special mention for utilizing Stella in the first place. Despite it resulting in his own death, he ends up [[GoOutWithASmile going out with a smile on his face]], signifying that he was satisfied with his end as he was able to protect the people of Tokyo from Rider. Now that's a true hero.

* The Battle of Tokyo Bay: where Saber, Archer, and Lancer team-up in order to take down [[SuperPowerLottery Rider]] as he tries to [[spoiler: [[NoKillLikeOverkill burn down Tokyo in order to kill Manaka]]]]. Even with their combined strength, Rider is so exceedingly powerful that Manaka has Assassin [[spoiler: go behind the scenes and kill of Rider's Master and his clan, cutting off his mana supply in the process]]. Even then, he still has enough strength to use [[PowerOfTheSun Dendara Light]], an attack that takes a combined effort from [[WaveMotionSword Excalibur-Proto]] and [[SuicideAttack Stella]] to counter. Ancient Egypt ''does not'' mess around.

* Saber's final act in the First Grail War after [[spoiler: slaying Manaka and saving Ayaka's life]] is particularly gloriously Shonen. He's beginning to disappear, [[spoiler: but the Beast has emerged in grievance of Manaka's passing. Saber's breaking apart now, and he has but [[AnArmAndALeg a single operable arm]] and mere moments left he can sustain his existence. Ayaka's still out cold -- [[LastStand Saber's the one thing standing between the Beast and her along with the world]], and he's fading ''fast''...but then, he hears familiar voices. Spurned on by the spirits of his rivals in this war, [[YouAreNotAlone coming to his side now]] [[ThePowerOfFriendship to give him their hope]], Saber raises Excalibur with his one working arm, gets a six-seal clearance on the Restraints of the Round Table, and ''[[DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu one-shots the Beast back to the depths.]]'' It's even all-but-stated that, if Arthur had just gotten one more seal for maximum clearance to shed Excalibur's covering altogether that he would have ended the Beast[[note]]and Manaka[[/note]] ''permanently'' right then and there.]]

** It's worth repeating: Saber defeats Archer's ''Ea'' analogue, ''without'' Avalon.

From the OVA itself. As short as it was, it did show a few good moments.

* The intense battle between Saber and Archer. It's basically the two tearing their way through from a subway station all the way up to skyscraper, at one point cutting said building in half in the process, and eventually culminating in [[TheGreatFlood Enki]] facing off against [[WaveMotionSword Excalibur]] which, according to supplementary material, ends in the latter's victory.

* Saber's summoning. In which the former quickly destroys Lancer's spear with nothing but a single swing from [[RazorWind Invisible Air]], pushing the latter back a distance with just pure force, all the while maintaining a calm and collected look on his face. Best part about it was how casual it felt given Saber's attention was more on Ayaka from what was shown.

** Granted it was just a normal spear provided to Lancer by Misaya, but point goes to how it was executed.

The OVA itself.

* Saber's summoning.
* Ayaka's GlassesGotToGo Moment and activating her Command Seal.
* The intense battle between Saber and Archer, along with Archer's Enki vs Saber's Excalibur.

* The intense battle between Saber and Archer, along with Archer's Enki vs Saber's Excalibur.
** The fact that Archer manage to defeat Saber in close-combat. Fate/Stay Night Archer was OP due to having a billion Noble Phantasms but was so weak in close-combat that a ''normal human'' was capable of matching him. Here this guy is going against one of the greatest swordsman in history and ''winning''!
