Fate/Zero/Awesome: Difference between revisions

** From the same episode, Kariya's [[Big Damn Heroes]] moment.

* Waver standing up to '''''[[Canon Sue|Gilgamesh]]''''' after {{spoiler|he defeats Rider.}} The meek little boy with absolutely ''no chance'' of surviving more than two seconds stares down one of the Nasuverse's most powerful characters and declares his {{spoiler|endless loyalty to Alexander.}} And Gilgamesh ''lets him live.''

'''Waver''': [[Hopeless Boss Fight|If I challenge you, I will die.]]<br />

'''Gilgamesh''': Of course.<br />

*** And he wasn't even ''trying.'' Beserker was completely focused on Saber; Gilgamesh just got in the way.

* Alexander is a walking, talking being of awesome, but it can all be summed up in four words.

** The whole scene is one ginormous [[Crowning Moment of Awesome|CMOA]] for the guy, what with his {{spoiler|thousands-strong army charging at and [[Curb Stomp Battle|annihilating]] every one of [[Smug Snake|Assassin's]] personas in a barren desert that made them exposed targets}}.

* Kiritsugu Emiya's [[Dungeon Bypass]] against El-Melloi.

*** Judging by the clawing and staggering and torrent of [[Blood From the Mouth]] that resulted from Origin-induced [[Pure Energy|magic-circuit]] [[Superpower Meltdown]]... [[Captain Obvious|Probably pretty bad.]]

** And his duel with {{spoiler|Kirei}} near the end. And his line when he {{spoiler|shoots him.}}

* Gilgamesh himself is a much more likable character in Zero. His turning of Kirei into a man who lives [[For the Evulz]], forcing [[Pure Evil|Angra Mainyu]] to submit to him, and his final words to Alexander after defeating him were incredible.

** Getting Gilgamesh to respect him counts as a crowner for Alexander, as well.

** The one about Gilgamesh and Angra Manyu has to be elaborated on. Even though the outcome was obviously pretty bad for the world, what Gilgamesh did here was actually sort of heroic in its own, [[Blue and Orange Morality]] kind of way. And it gets even better with Avenger's [[Woobie]] status. Essentially, Angra Manyu is the incarnation of everything bad about humans. Sins, negative feelings, you name it. It knows nothing but those thoughts. Only hatred and denial. Nothing else can exist within that black mud because it is immediately swallowed up. So it is left alone for all eternity with nothing but its loathing for the world and itself. But Gilgamesh defies that. His existence is so absolute that he can stand where nothing else can. And he tells Avenger that it's okay. That he will permit it to exist. He gives confirmation to something that is antithetical to the very concept of it. And he succeeds. He's practically comforting the devil at that point, in his own, strange way. So he's a hero alright. Somehow.

* The entire fight between {{spoiler|Gilgamesh and Alexander}}, starting from {{spoiler|Gilgamesh}} using the [[Let's Get Dangerous|true power]] of {{spoiler|his}} Noble Phantasm to {{spoiler|completely wipe out Alexander's entire [[Badass Army|army]].}} Then after losing said {{spoiler|army}}, {{spoiler|[[Dying Moment of Awesome|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.

* Kirei seemingly gets completely checkmated by Irisviel when she binds his hands with magical wire and ties him to a tree. What does he do? ''Snap the thing in half'' to break free. With sheer physical strength. No magic, no power-ups or assistance from anywhere or anything, just his own sheer concentrated strength and force. The best part would be his complete nonchalance throughout the whole thing, like what he's doing is as natural and normal to him as breathing and nothing to make a big deal about, total opposite to the powerful show-offs that tend to make up this series.

* The anime really made the [[Mundane Made Awesome|not awesome scenes from the Lighr Novel]] into [[Moment of Awesome|awesome]]. Lancer's curse while it's tragic, it become 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 [[Slasher Smile|evil smile]]).

* Lancer lifts the curse he put on Saber's hand to stop Caster from killing hundreds of people, then swats Berserker's hijacked F-15 out of the sky like it's nothing. Doubles as a [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming]].
