Line 3:
* Shirou beats the crap out of Guiche so thoroughly that ''he comes back to learn how to do that''.
* The entirety of Shirou vs Karin. Starting with Shirou surviving the equivalent of ''octagon class magic'' (which manages to ''break'' Rho Aias), then ending with the most badass Crane Wing Three Realm this Troper has ever seen in written form.
** This troper is pretty sure it should be called ''pentagon class magic'' (since in ''[[ZeroThe noFamiliar Tsukaimaof Zero]]'' each class of magic is twice as strong as the previous one), but that doesn't make it any less awesome.
* A more subtle one, not related to combat. When Louise finally drags a confession out of Shirou that Yes, he wants to save Tabitha, Shirou proceeds to pretty much single-handedly create a Black Ops program for Tristain, all in order to do so. The [[Smart Guy]] of the Undine Knights is thoroughly amazed by Shirou's ingenuity.
* Throughout the entire story, Sheffield, a Servant bearing the Mind of God class, has been progressively built as the biggest threat to Shirou personally. Each time they clash, the battle scenes grow progressively more and more awesome until Chapter 22 wherein Sheffield realizes just how powerful Shirou is. According to [[Word of God|the author's notes]], this single scene had been planned from the very beginning of the fic, some 300,000 words back.
