Fate stay night/Awesome: Difference between revisions

{{work|page=Fate/stay night}}

* It is almost entirely complete as of now - most of the [http://img693.imageshack.us/img693/7205/cgs.jpg CGs and scenes] have been updated.

 

* Rin [[Batman Gambit|letting Berserker grab her]] so that she could blast him in the face with A-level magic.

* Following that, why the HELL has this one not been mentioned yet? After having been kicked around by Berserker for far too long, Shirou and Saber make {{spoiler|Archer's sacrifice}} count: Shirou manages to project Saber's Caliburn and he attacks Berserker with it. But since he's too weak, Saber grabs the hilt alongside him and they deliver the fatal blow together, killing Berserker ''seven times'' in one blow. And if that wasn't awesome enough already, {{spoiler|Hercules}} regains his mind just for a brief time to praise them before fading away.

'''Saber''': That's... impossible! (cue ''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v{{=}}aaWXiKPVxpA Whirlpool of Fate]'')<br />

(''after [[Wave Motion Sword]] face-off'')<br />

'''Gilgamesh''': [[Sincerity Mode|I am disappointed that you could not even offset my attack, Saber]]. [[Sarcasm Mode|Oh, I see. I should have taken it easier on you. After all, I am fighting women and children]]! }}

* When Lancer turns on Gilgamesh.

'''Lancer''': Don't get me wrong. I'm not siding with you or anything. I'm just siding... with my own beliefs! }}

* How about the moment when Saber POWNED Gilgamesh?

** Archer's definitive [[Crowning Moment of Awesome|CMOA]] is an epic [[Batman Gambit]] following his battle with {{spoiler|Shirou}}. Gilgamesh, now officially the [[Big Bad]] following Lancer's own CMOA (as noted below), tries to get rid of Shirou via his favored trick of [[Field of Blades]]. Archer, despite heavy injury, [[Heroic Sacrifice|shoves Shirou out of the way, taking the full brunt of the assault]], then does so ''AGAIN'' when Gil tries the same trick a second time. At this point, Archer's got nothing left and tells Shirou that the battle against Gil is [[It's Up to You|up to him]], fading away. {{spoiler|Later, during the final battle, Rin is trapped within the lake-sized mountain of flesh being used as the vessel for the Holy Grail. Out of nowhere, a [[Reverse Shrapnel|rain of blades]] cuts her free and she hears a voice telling her to run for it. Shortly After, Gilgamesh, having been bested by Shirou, is being sucked into the Grail. He attempts to [[Taking You with Me|take Shirou with him]] by binding his unbreakable Enkidu chain to him. As Shirou resolves to never give up, He suddenly [[Big Damn Heroes|hears Archer tell him to move slightly to the side as he nails Gil right between the eyes with one last sword]]. It turns out that Archer, being [[Not Quite Dead]], had been [[Defeat Means Friendship|impressed]] by Shirou's [[Determinator|refusal to back down]] during their battle and, knowing that he'd probably be needed during the final battle, hid in spirit form until he was aboslutely needed to bail everybody out.}}

*** It should probably be noted that {{spoiler|Gilgamesh wasn't actually trying to take Shirou with him. He was trying to use Shirou to pull himself out, then kill him himself.}}

{{spoiler|'''Shirou''': "You..." He's arrogant even in this situation...!}} }}

* Lancer gets a definitive [[Crowning Moment of Awesome]] in this scenario: first pulling off a [[Big Damn Heroes]] moment, saving {{spoiler|a [[Bound and Gagged|tied up]] Rin from Shinji (who was about to rape her)}} by backhanding him across the room. {{spoiler|Kirei arrives and commands him to kill himself via stabbing out his own heart, which he does... and just when Rin was about to submit to her fate as Kirei moves in for the kill, Lancer ''[[Not Quite Dead|gets back up]]'' and stabs Kirei to death.}} And just when Shinji starts thinking Lancer couldn't do anything else, Lancer gets up ''again'' and scares off Shinji with another stab. And then for good measure, he {{spoiler|sets fire to his dying place after Rin escapes}}. And he does all that with a ''smile''. A lot of fans cheered on that scene, and his popularity skyrocketed.

*** Not only that, he wins ''because'' his opponent possess the Hand of Freaking Satan. As in, the curse of True Assassin's Zabaniya fails to work against Kirei's heart, which is itself constructed of curses from Angra Mainyu, and Kirei uses his opponent's surprise to pin him to a tree with a Black Key. Had True Assassin just fought from a distance with his throwing knives, he'd have won. Which means that Kotomine's ''strategy'' was built around his unique ability to ''shrug off having the hand of Satan shoved into his chest''.

*** The entire sequence in the Einzbern forest where Kirei and Shirou cooperate to save Illya is one long [[Crowning Moment of Awesome]] for Kirei, who uses this to suddenly reveal himself as prime example of [[Badass Normal]] ''in the most awesome way possible''. From carrying Ilya and parrying swords at the same moment while running at full speed and being chased by both Dark Berserker and True Assassin, to beating True Assassin later and casually giving Shirou advice beforehand (which becomes more meaningful once we find out how he speaks from experience), to {{spoiler|[[Holy Hand Grenade|exorcising Zouken to death]]}} while the guy gives him a brutal [[Hannibal Lecture]] in regards to his past, completely deconstructing him -- and not even paying any attention to it. The latter in particular is also incredibly satisfying because of the [[Complete Monster]] Zouken has previously proven himself to be.

'''Kirei''': "Be silent. You'll bite your tongue off." }}

*** Note that, in this context, "full speed" means [[Charles Atlas Superpower|fifty kilometers per freaking hour]].
