History Awesome / FateZero

* The fight between Gilgamesh and Alexander, starting from Gilgamesh using the [[LetsGetDangerous true power]] of his Noble Phantasm to completely wipe out Alexander's entire [[BadassArmy army]]. Then after losing said army, [[DyingMomentOfAwesome Alexander decides to rush Gilgamesh all by himself and while constantly being showered with legendary weapons and even then he doesn't falter, he only stops his advance when his thwarted by Enkidu and slain by Ea]]. Excuse me I think I just had an awesome overload.

* [[WhiteSheep Kariya Matou]] learns that after he ran away from inheriting the Matou family magecraft, [[spoiler: Sakura]] was taken to replace him. He doesn’t hesitate to walk into the Matou manor, and speak directly to [[TheWormThatWalks Zouken]] [[HumanoidAbomination Matou]] himself. He promises to give Zouken the Holy Grail, in exchange for him safely releasing [[spoiler: Sakura]]. As Zouken swiftly points out, Kariya is a [[IneptMage failure of a mage]] offering to fight against [[TheDreaded some of the]] [[TheArchmage most powerful magi]] on the planet, and the only viable method of doing so is [[spoiler: the Crest Worms,]] [[CastFromHitPoints liable to devour him alive if he’s too weak]]. [[HeroicSacrifice He goes through with it anyway]], and [[{{Determinator}} in a year he manages to acquire Command Seals, then summon and barely control]] [[TheAce one of the strongest Servants of the Fourth War]]. It was outright stated that if he had summoned a less mana-intensive Servant, he would have been able to use them fine. Not bad, for a “failure who never trained a day in his life”. [[PapaWolf All to protect an innocent child]].

** Caster wasn't actually a mage in life, so his spells are no match for a proper Caster (like the one in ''[[Anime/FateStayNight Fate/Stay Night]]''), but he's still a Heroic Spirit, and has magic that surpasses modern magecraft by an order of power. And keep in mind that a proper Caster has magic surpassing a nuclear warhead, so being no match for one is nothing to be ashamed of...oh, and he pulls out some such magecraft not much later.

* When [[FoeYay Lancer and Saber]] [[EnemyMine team]] [[BackToBackBadasses up]] to fight Caster in the forest, Saber [[FastballSpecial launches Lancer at Caster]] by using her Invisible Air ability to [[BlowYouAway "Strike Air"]], creating a wind tunnel that propels him past the army of monsters and gives him the chance to slash Caster's TomeOfEldritchLore with the [[AntiMagic Gae Daerg spear.]] Immediately after, the book dissolves and Caster's demons [[{{Gorn}} explode into bloody pulps.]] [[LadyOfWar Saber]], [[TheStoic does not even flinch]] as veritable fountains of blood erupt all around her in incredibly awesome fashion. And all set to [[SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic the tune of]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T3sy1G4I1gM Point Zero.]]

'''Rider:''' Indeed. I wanted to see Oceanus with my own eyes. Unfortunately, my dream never came true. Oceanus is still my final destination. A dream that never ends. Go ahead and laugh. Two thousand years later, and I still have the same dream. Every bit the fool as well. [[NotSoDifferent And so, boy... a pact with a fellow idiot seems ideal.]]\\

* The anime really made the [[MundaneMadeAwesome not awesome scenes from the Light Novel]] into [[SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome awesome]]. Lancer's curse while it's tragic, it becomes sort of awesome and the moment Kirei kills Tokiomi become epic, both mainly thanks to the fact it's visualized and also the camera and faces of the people involved (Lancer's rage, Tokiomi's surprise and Kirei's [[SlasherSmile evil smile]]).

'''Rider:''' Who said that? Your own feeling of inferiority signals a fine military leader. [[BadassNormal Despite your grumbling, you recognize how small you are. And even still, you choose to ignore it, to claw your way to greatness.]]\\

'''Gilgamesh:''' ''*Stares for a moment before turning away*'' Your loyalty is splendid. Never tarnish it. ''*Vanishes*''
