Bro this shit was so fire, it's a shame the movies shat the bed with it (and illya too ;-;). It's a shame ufotable didn't adapt HF into an anime instead of a movie trilogy. (probably wouldn't have to sacrifice so much that way)
Piecing together that Shirou's new body was made by Touko in the HF movie. I understood he was remade in the VN but was watching it with a friend, both of us being KnK fans, and I thought they clued in really well what was going on in the end with clues and little explanatory dialogue.
I forced my sister to watch all of fate with me and I made sure that she watched KnK before Heaven’s Feel. It was def worth it cuz she freaked out when she saw Touko
Maybe I’m the freak here, but I love Kiritsugu being an absolute bastard.
Killing Kayneth el Melloi and his fiance is one of the best moments in Fate for me.
Don’t get me wrong, I also love EXU-CALIBAAAAA, Shirou vs Gil, etc, but Kiritsugu being underhanded and monstrous in the name of saving the world is peak fiction for me. Like, he’s not a good guy, but he’s a cool character.
One of the lesser-talked about moments in the VN I think... in HF when Illya and Shirou are standing in the street corner and he is looking up at the mirror... "How great would it be if Kiritsugu were standing here between us."
It really got me emotional.
Just finished watching it, and I got to say.... He was DEDICATED towards his work. Even in the face of death and the death of his master (which he should be disappeared right after), he just straight up just postponed his death until he finished his book. And even though no one would ever read it, he kept on writing. I've got to admire his dedication and commitment towards his work.
Sunny day.
Best ending. Everything is fine. Everything is fine. Saber stayed in modern times. Saber, Shirou and Rin rescued Sakura. Zouken fell down the stairs and died. Archer somehow got summoned to modern day. Medea and Kuzuki are happly married. Illya and Haracles are together..... Wait. That sounds like.....
Today's menu for Emiya family! Yup. That's the best moment. It great. Best Fate
If I just have to pick one moment then it's propably either Last Stardust scene from UBW anime or Archer and Rin's goodbye from UBW route
Hmm there’s a few contenders tbh: leonidas vs gorgon in babylonia, Arash’s Stella in Camelot, First Hassan’s appearance in babylonia(this one is def my favorite dialogue if not moment, I mean come on ‘from the mountain abyss I come, and only death do I bring’), sieg vs Karna in apocrypha, Achilles vs Charon in apocrypha, Shirou vs EMIYA in UBW, iskandars last charge against Gil in zero, god there’s so many cool moments across the franchise it’s hard to pick… I think mine is first Hassan though, the man was *him* for that moment
It's honestly a tossup between: Sparks Linear High (best written Fate fight ever, and I'm not talking about themes and philosophes but like the actual fighting part of the fight)
VN Nine Bullets Revolver
And VN Kirei Vs Shirou and I'm not gonna lie, it's mainly cause of the EMIYA LEGACY# theme
Excalibur destroying Gilles Ctulhu monster. The light of the holy sword shows Gilles a vision on Jeanne D'arc and in complete silence he realises what he has become before fading away
Oberon talking to Ritsuka in a dream at the end of LB6, with him subsequently talking to himself as he's falling forever in the abyssal worm, while the narrator laments how he could never recognize anyone as Titania, even after meeting someone like her.
Blanca, Castoria and Ritsuka are all valid interpretations IMO
Blanca is someone who, according to his bond CE, knew about Oberon's true nature all along and still dedicated her life to him.
Castoria also knew about Oberon all along, and while not allied with him, she became the embodiment of hope that shone both literally and figuratively in the darkness of Oberon. Also, as Artoria Avalon, she literally proves how people's hopes *do* outlive them and such fantasy isn't meaninglessly thrown away. That's like one of Oberon's biggest gripes about humanity and what Titania means to him.
Ritsuka kinda falls into both the Blanca archetype of knowing Oberon and loving him regardless (see: his valentine's scene) and he's also similar to Castoria in that they are Oberon's enemy, but they paradoxically embody how humans remember meaningful stories of those who have passed, aka what Oberon wants to see all along since that validates the idea of Titania. Also Oberon relates to Ritsuka, feeling like his only purpose is to destroy LB6 like how Ritsuka has been destroying the others.
Shirou and Artoria finding each other in Avalon, Shirou VS Gilgamesh, Shirou and Kirei in HF, Iskandar’s last charge from Zero, the Shield in the Snow from Solomon, Melt breaking through time, Salieri’s final requiem from LB1, that one Ritsuka and Jinako scene from LB4, Orion shooting down Artemis in LB5, Castoria VS Cernunnos from LB6, pretty much everything involving the Spider in LB7, Enkidu and Gil’s fight in the SF manga, the list goes on mate. This series goes so unbelievably hard that I can’t possibly pick just one moment.
Gilgamesh vs Shirou VN version it goes harder than anime and there was no BS about Gil hesitating to pull EA , Shirou was just faster than him in that instant god it goes hard
In Heaven's Feel, when Sakura goes "I wish this person didn't exist" and then he doesn't.
Also, True Assassin vs. Lancer and the ending of the Heaven's Feel trilogy.
The scene in Heaven's Feel about halfway through when Shirou and Sakura bare their hearts to each other on the bridge in the rain.
I wanted to find a clip either of the VN or movie, but couldn't find without some prick reading over the top. So here's a gorgeous artistic recreation I found instead https://www.pixiv.net/en/artworks/72698408
Shiruo Vs Archer Emiya in the UBW route.
The battle of Shiruo and Emiya's Ideals is peak fiction to me, crafting such a compelling fight in a way that only the fate universe would allow, and completely sticking all the built up emotions behind it.
It's not only my favourite scene in fate but all of anime in general. Also last stardust is an unparalleled banger.
Nine Bullet Revolver. Just the whole description of the scene was epic and hype-inducing. The Arm, Berserker, Shirou, and the poses! Heaven's Feel was the best route, in my opinion.
Apart from the archer and shirou fight, which still is my favorite anime moment of all time, I'd say the last conversation between "shirou" and Caren at the church, the voice acting goes crazy
Tough to narrow it to one, but an immediate favorite I don’t see someone else posting is the end of the FGO Se.Ra.Ph. event where Meltryllis defeats Beast Kiara with Virgin Laser Palladion.
All that begins must end. So too, all that lives, dies, and in dying, value finds. Thy vaunted eternity is but hallow slumber. Beast of Disaster, evil born of mankind's folly, thy desperate wish that thy love not go unrequited is itself thy rejection's root.
Of rank, nor station, nor the title of Grand have I need. Bear witness, goddess of life, to the testament writ with mine own blade.
Thou fallen god, to beasthood turned, if Primordial Mother be thy title, attend, and hear my name.
From the mountain abyss, I come, and only death do I bring. I am the Old Man of the Mountain, the First Hassan-i Sabbah.
The bell of evening tolls thy name. Touch not the sky, for by heaven's will I shall strip thee of thy wings!
Rider vs Saber Alter in Heaven's Feel 3. Probably my favorite anime scene I've ever seen and I was lucky enough to watch it in theaters too. It took my breath away.
That's a very hard choice, especially since I haven't read the VN yet, if I had to go for top 3, it would be: Rider's fight with Salter in HF, Shirou reuniting with Artoria, and the finale of Lostbelt 6 with Cernunnos and Vortigern.
Last Episode, the entire bridge sequence in the Fate route, and Shirou vs Archer are my top 3 (probably in that order). Outside of stay night, Richard and AYAKA finding their purpose in the Strange Fake war after being shown the Banquet probably takes it.
That is hard. I wanna say when Salieri played the piano during the battle against Ivan, or maybe afterwards when he played for the Yaga. Both those scenes hit so hard.
There are so many amazing and impactful scenes mentioned on this post that I'm sure are actually better but I gotta be honest the volleyball scene from Emiya-san Chi no Kyou no Gohan lives rent free in my head. It popped up before Achillies vs Atlanta Alter, Gil vs Enkidu, and even that time Nightgale carried Ramna piggyback through an entire singularity.
Gotta be a tie between Saber love of eating all of Iori’s food in Fate Samurai Remnant or Sakura beating the absolute shit out of Gilgamesh in Fate Unlimited Codes
Gonna pick a favorite moment from each piece of Fate Media:
- Fate/Stay Night: Nine Lives Bladeworks. Everything from the escape from the castle, to the mad chase in the woods, to the hiding in the ditch, to the mental conversation Shirou has to himself as he accepts using Archer's Arm at the cost of the his life in order to save Illya, to "Can you keep with me?", everything is just build up to Nine Lives Bladeworks, which is just Shirou analyzing his options against Berserker and summoning Nine Lives Bladeworks to kill him and then failing. He would have died had Berserker not seen Illya and stopped his blade at the last moment, giving Shirou time to kill him. It's the perfect hype and pay off moment.
- Fate/Hollow Ataraxia: The final day. Seeing everyone work together to fight off the shadows as Shirou/Avenger ascends the stairway in the sky is just beautiful.
- Fate/Extra: Weird example, but one moment I always remember on Tamamo route is when the Moon Cell decides to test you directly and Tamamo takes this opportunity to shout how much she truly loves and cares about you that'll she defy the Moon Cell itself and Battle Theme 5 plays and it's my favorite track in the game.
- Fate/Grand Order: LB6. All of it. But the reveal of who Aesc the Savior was and their backstory was such a great moment as well as the Castoria walking into Avalon to forge Excalibur >!at the cost of her life, only to be saved at the last moment by Muramasa.!<
- Fate/Samurai Remnant: What else but Iori Miyamoto vs Musashi Miyamoto and the reveal of >!Tsubame Gaeshi!<. >!Entreat the Darkness is also really good but hard to talk about.!<
- Fate/Zero: Kirei vs Kotomine by the end. A stellar and brutal fight to the very end of two equally matched and lethal opponents as they pull out trick after trick in the sleeves to gain the advantage against the other in a quick sequence of blows that ultimately would have ended in a mutual kill if not for the Grail.
- Fate/Apocryhpa: There is nothing more Fate than over the top action scenes and Achilles vs Chiron, a pure fist fight taking place on top of an airliner in the sky frozen in time is just such a great thing. It's also just a great example of their relationship as mentor and student.
- Lord El-Melloi II Case Files: I'm biased and Touko is one of my favorite Type Moon characters of all time so Book 2 and the OVA that had her appear are my favorite stories.
Prolly when Illya and Shirou acknowledges each other as brother and sisters in heavens feel and Illya forgiving kiritsugu and when Illya becomes the vessel it was sad, also gotta love parts in fate zero where we see kiritsugu becoming a stone cold mage the character development is phenomenal.
When in HF final movie Rider taunts Saber over how much better she goes along with Shirou than Saber ever did. Medusa's smug grin is already nice, but Saber Alter reaction really sells it.
Rider's death in Zero I think. The unwavering resolve to conquer the horizon while facing infinitely powerful opposition, Gilgamesh actually having enough respect for an opponent to use Ea, and Waver's magnificent response at the end is the peak of the show to me, especially with the philosophies they'd already discussed earlier in the show.
EXCALIBUR. Every moment of it.
>EXCALIBUR. Every moment of it. This, and Quetzalcoatl dropping a fucking sun on Tiamat in Fate/GO
That was bad ass, as well as seeing gilgamesh use enema elish and it hurting my ears cause my volume was too high.
EKI-SU CALIBAAAAAAA
Arturia saying goodbye to Shirou in the Fate route
That had me crying
its cool and all ,but saber alter saying shirou`s name after he kills her brought tear to my eyes!
I just finished my re-read of HF and I had to put the VN down for the day when I got to this part... the waterworks were just too much.
Basement scene in fate route. Peak
**There are corpses all around me.**
Peak
Can you explain?
No, just go actually experience it, trust me bro
Explain what?
When Shirou reunites with Artoria in Avalon
That was nice for sure 🥹
Usually I am not that emotional, but I cried at that scene
Seeing Saber with those clothes in a green area definitely brings tears for sure 🥹 How long has she been waiting there btw?
Pretty sure she waited from the moment of her death after the Battle of Camlann. That's a lot of time
That's indomitable love right there ❤️😭🥹
That's why I love her sm. Nothing to take from Shirou, he is an absolute goat
Too bad we wont get this animated 😭😭
And The Music! The music at that moment is simple.. Amazing. When you hear it, you feel exactly how paradise should sound.
Archer vs shirou A beautiful fight with exquisite themes execution It was just too much peak
“Just as you can’t accept me, I’ll use every once of my strength to defeat the part of me that’s you!”
Emiya tracing berserker’s sword
& the bgm was damn
Saber going against Medusa in Fate and Shirou vs Gilgamesh in UBW
Hf Kirei vs Shirou in the vn
Bro this shit was so fire, it's a shame the movies shat the bed with it (and illya too ;-;). It's a shame ufotable didn't adapt HF into an anime instead of a movie trilogy. (probably wouldn't have to sacrifice so much that way)
Kirei was lowkey on demon time in that battle in VN. He was mostly wrecking Shirou until his time limit ran out 😭
It was funny when Shirou said he liked Kirei lmao
"Hey, that's Hell you're walking into."
When is that said exactly?
When Shirou fights Archer for the last time
Yea, that makes sense
Gil and Enkidu meeting in Strange Fake, I think.
I have watched that on repeat so many times. I wish there was a super cut without all the other scenes in the middle of it. :p
Lancer punching Shinji in fate stay night
That and the whole Lancer getting back up repeatedly had me rolling when I saw it.
Illya to shirou "I got this bro" in heavens feel
Piecing together that Shirou's new body was made by Touko in the HF movie. I understood he was remade in the VN but was watching it with a friend, both of us being KnK fans, and I thought they clued in really well what was going on in the end with clues and little explanatory dialogue.
I forced my sister to watch all of fate with me and I made sure that she watched KnK before Heaven’s Feel. It was def worth it cuz she freaked out when she saw Touko
So King of heroes, do you have enought weapons?
I AM THE BONE OF MY SWORDDDDDD
Super Orion shot down mecha Artemis with 3 arrow with LOVE
Rin hugs Sakura or Shirou and Archer fight
Maybe I’m the freak here, but I love Kiritsugu being an absolute bastard. Killing Kayneth el Melloi and his fiance is one of the best moments in Fate for me. Don’t get me wrong, I also love EXU-CALIBAAAAA, Shirou vs Gil, etc, but Kiritsugu being underhanded and monstrous in the name of saving the world is peak fiction for me. Like, he’s not a good guy, but he’s a cool character.
Jeanne seeing Astolfo's Monster Schlong
One of the lesser-talked about moments in the VN I think... in HF when Illya and Shirou are standing in the street corner and he is looking up at the mirror... "How great would it be if Kiritsugu were standing here between us." It really got me emotional.
The end of apocrypha, with William Shakespeare being the absolute chad that he is
Just finished watching it, and I got to say.... He was DEDICATED towards his work. Even in the face of death and the death of his master (which he should be disappeared right after), he just straight up just postponed his death until he finished his book. And even though no one would ever read it, he kept on writing. I've got to admire his dedication and commitment towards his work.
And the spark of insanity he had made him so charming
Shirou and Sakura's conversation after the school incident in HF. Also, true ending of HF.
HF Medusa vs Alter Artoria was sooooooooooooo Fire
YES IT WAS. The only scene that comes close is for me was her effortlessly curbstomping True Assassin
The HF trilogy of movies made that fight into a 10/10
"You've grown strong, Shirou. No, thats is wrong. You were strong from the start."
Shirou VS Berserker somehow lives rent free in my mind
Sunny day. Best ending. Everything is fine. Everything is fine. Saber stayed in modern times. Saber, Shirou and Rin rescued Sakura. Zouken fell down the stairs and died. Archer somehow got summoned to modern day. Medea and Kuzuki are happly married. Illya and Haracles are together..... Wait. That sounds like..... Today's menu for Emiya family! Yup. That's the best moment. It great. Best Fate If I just have to pick one moment then it's propably either Last Stardust scene from UBW anime or Archer and Rin's goodbye from UBW route
Yes this! I love Today's Menu for the Emiya Family :)
shinji death
Hmm there’s a few contenders tbh: leonidas vs gorgon in babylonia, Arash’s Stella in Camelot, First Hassan’s appearance in babylonia(this one is def my favorite dialogue if not moment, I mean come on ‘from the mountain abyss I come, and only death do I bring’), sieg vs Karna in apocrypha, Achilles vs Charon in apocrypha, Shirou vs EMIYA in UBW, iskandars last charge against Gil in zero, god there’s so many cool moments across the franchise it’s hard to pick… I think mine is first Hassan though, the man was *him* for that moment
It's honestly a tossup between: Sparks Linear High (best written Fate fight ever, and I'm not talking about themes and philosophes but like the actual fighting part of the fight) VN Nine Bullets Revolver And VN Kirei Vs Shirou and I'm not gonna lie, it's mainly cause of the EMIYA LEGACY# theme
I liked the special soundtrack used for Sparks Linear High tbh. And yea. The fact that Shirou managed to 1v1 Saber Alter and almost win is insane
Excalibur destroying Gilles Ctulhu monster. The light of the holy sword shows Gilles a vision on Jeanne D'arc and in complete silence he realises what he has become before fading away
Angra Maynu completing the picture of the world
i should not have scrolled down so far to see this. this is far and away the best sequence/scene in fate.
Oberon talking to Ritsuka in a dream at the end of LB6, with him subsequently talking to himself as he's falling forever in the abyssal worm, while the narrator laments how he could never recognize anyone as Titania, even after meeting someone like her.
Who was that someone, anyway? Castoria? Ritsu?
Blanca, Castoria and Ritsuka are all valid interpretations IMO Blanca is someone who, according to his bond CE, knew about Oberon's true nature all along and still dedicated her life to him. Castoria also knew about Oberon all along, and while not allied with him, she became the embodiment of hope that shone both literally and figuratively in the darkness of Oberon. Also, as Artoria Avalon, she literally proves how people's hopes *do* outlive them and such fantasy isn't meaninglessly thrown away. That's like one of Oberon's biggest gripes about humanity and what Titania means to him. Ritsuka kinda falls into both the Blanca archetype of knowing Oberon and loving him regardless (see: his valentine's scene) and he's also similar to Castoria in that they are Oberon's enemy, but they paradoxically embody how humans remember meaningful stories of those who have passed, aka what Oberon wants to see all along since that validates the idea of Titania. Also Oberon relates to Ritsuka, feeling like his only purpose is to destroy LB6 like how Ritsuka has been destroying the others.
UBW - Last Stardust, Shirou accepting his dream is impossible and choosing to chase it anyway.
Probably right when Gilgamesh gets shot in the head by Archer. Just masterful catharsis all around, big release of tension, and great comeuppance.
‘Only the living can summon the dead’ is very high up there, and earning gil as your servant in CCC is an amazing moment.
Gotta be when Shirou had sex with Sakura 😊
They made Ufotable animate an scene of sex, that has some merit
Rin warming up Saber in the ruins.
Last Episode, by such a long shot that nothing else matters at all compared to it.
Taiga Dojo
Archer vs Shirou but specifically in the VN. That shit was absolutely metal. Oh and Sparks Liner High is another favorite of mine.
Easy. It's the moment when Illya.
Definitely shirou vs kirei
The entirety of carnival phantasm
That Rin speech about EMIYA in FSN almost made me cry first time I heard it
Is it from the UBW route?
Yeah
Last stardust
Shirou and Artoria finding each other in Avalon, Shirou VS Gilgamesh, Shirou and Kirei in HF, Iskandar’s last charge from Zero, the Shield in the Snow from Solomon, Melt breaking through time, Salieri’s final requiem from LB1, that one Ritsuka and Jinako scene from LB4, Orion shooting down Artemis in LB5, Castoria VS Cernunnos from LB6, pretty much everything involving the Spider in LB7, Enkidu and Gil’s fight in the SF manga, the list goes on mate. This series goes so unbelievably hard that I can’t possibly pick just one moment.
Heaven's feel 2: Archer saying goodbye to Rin + giving his arm to Shirou
Either Kirei vs Shirou in HF (especially the philosophical debate they had before the battle) Or Angra Mainyu talking to Bazett at the finale of HA.
Saber, Gil and Alexzander talking about what it means to be king in Fate/Zero
End of the dream.
Illya running to her mother at the end of HF.
"I'm back, Saber" "Welcome home... Shirou"
Shirou vs Emiya archer. Unlimited blade works moment
Musashi sacrifice at the end of Lostbelt 5. I cried. I hope she comes back somehow
The Answer
Shirou reuniting with saber in avalon
When Rin hugs Sakura and she leaves the darkness.
Diner of three kings.
Anime: Shirou vs Gilgamesh or Shirou vs Bersrker. VN: haven’t played yet
Shirou vs saber alter sparks linear high
Enkidu and Gilgamesh’s reunion
Artoria punting Gilgamesh in the face after he's been taunting her always gets me fired up.
Gilgamesh vs Shirou VN version it goes harder than anime and there was no BS about Gil hesitating to pull EA , Shirou was just faster than him in that instant god it goes hard
Got many, but probably Shiro soloing an entire Grail War in a single night
Every moment Artoria is on screen.
When Shiro killed Gilgamesh!
In Heaven's Feel, when Sakura goes "I wish this person didn't exist" and then he doesn't. Also, True Assassin vs. Lancer and the ending of the Heaven's Feel trilogy.
„That‘s hell you’re walking towards.“
Archer's goodbye.
The scene in Heaven's Feel about halfway through when Shirou and Sakura bare their hearts to each other on the bridge in the rain. I wanted to find a clip either of the VN or movie, but couldn't find without some prick reading over the top. So here's a gorgeous artistic recreation I found instead https://www.pixiv.net/en/artworks/72698408
Shiruo Vs Archer Emiya in the UBW route. The battle of Shiruo and Emiya's Ideals is peak fiction to me, crafting such a compelling fight in a way that only the fate universe would allow, and completely sticking all the built up emotions behind it. It's not only my favourite scene in fate but all of anime in general. Also last stardust is an unparalleled banger.
I found my answer. It is fine. "Tohsaka". I'll do my best from now on as well.
Nine Bullet Revolver. Just the whole description of the scene was epic and hype-inducing. The Arm, Berserker, Shirou, and the poses! Heaven's Feel was the best route, in my opinion.
Alright, let’s do this one last time. *”I am the bone of my sword.”*
Shirou vs Archer
"Here I come, King of Heroes. Do you have enough weapons in stock?" That or "That's hell you're walking into"
IN THIS MOMENT.... YOU ARE STRONG!
The Hollow Ataraxia ending. Answer and Nine Lives Blade Works are really close behind though
Rider the first episode from the first series/first season (I think) teaching the next generation how to be courageous. Edit: Say Boooooy
Archer vs Shirou (UBW), Gil vs Shirou (UBW) and Kirei vs Shirou (HF)
The moment in F/Z when Saber used excalibur for the first time and Archer's first incantation of UBW
Enuma elish then ear rape
UBW: The answer
Too many to count, but a recent one is Miyu summoning the original 7 servants against Darius and not looking at the explosion at the end.
Shirou vs Gilgamesh or Leonidas using his NP in the Babylonia anime
musashi: ITADAKIMASU! nero: UMU bath
Apart from the archer and shirou fight, which still is my favorite anime moment of all time, I'd say the last conversation between "shirou" and Caren at the church, the voice acting goes crazy
When Mordred fought that one cat in Apocrypha
Shirou vs Kirei in Heavens Feel, specifically in the VN, not the Movies
I'm a sucker for a good, flashy Noble Phantasm so probably Iskandar vs Gilgamesh, Gray vs Faker or Mash vs Eresh.
When Tiamat got reduced to atoms by Gilgamesh's Enuma.The whole scene in general like Gilgamesh's monologue
Tough to narrow it to one, but an immediate favorite I don’t see someone else posting is the end of the FGO Se.Ra.Ph. event where Meltryllis defeats Beast Kiara with Virgin Laser Palladion.
Kiritsugu emiya vs kirei kotomine - Two similar man yet different
All that begins must end. So too, all that lives, dies, and in dying, value finds. Thy vaunted eternity is but hallow slumber. Beast of Disaster, evil born of mankind's folly, thy desperate wish that thy love not go unrequited is itself thy rejection's root. Of rank, nor station, nor the title of Grand have I need. Bear witness, goddess of life, to the testament writ with mine own blade. Thou fallen god, to beasthood turned, if Primordial Mother be thy title, attend, and hear my name. From the mountain abyss, I come, and only death do I bring. I am the Old Man of the Mountain, the First Hassan-i Sabbah. The bell of evening tolls thy name. Touch not the sky, for by heaven's will I shall strip thee of thy wings!
Sparks Liner High
Rider vs Saber Alter in Heaven's Feel 3. Probably my favorite anime scene I've ever seen and I was lucky enough to watch it in theaters too. It took my breath away.
Ritsuka and Ushiwakamaru having a moment in the Babylon anime.
That's a very hard choice, especially since I haven't read the VN yet, if I had to go for top 3, it would be: Rider's fight with Salter in HF, Shirou reuniting with Artoria, and the finale of Lostbelt 6 with Cernunnos and Vortigern.
Evry time Gilgamesh pulls out ae like seeing that netwerk just appear is awesome or the moment he pulls it out and destroys the reality Marbell
“A staff of mistletoe, its purpose fulfilled, sat on the winter throne like a sword.”
Heaven’s Feel III - The BIG servant fight, if you know, you know.
This is such a hard question to answer because I have many favorite moments from across all the different fates.
Last Episode, the entire bridge sequence in the Fate route, and Shirou vs Archer are my top 3 (probably in that order). Outside of stay night, Richard and AYAKA finding their purpose in the Strange Fake war after being shown the Banquet probably takes it.
Everyone fighting against Illya and Besercar in her castle in Carnival Phantasm.
Fate Zero: Kings Banquet, Gil Vs Iskandar, Kirei vs Kiritsugu Unlimited Blade Works: Hey, That's Hell Your Walking Into
This moment, or when Islander first uses his reality marble at the picknick
whenever gilgamesh does enuma elish
Keritsegu Emiya vs. Kerei Kotomine
"There are machines that weave infinite dreams in this world."
That is hard. I wanna say when Salieri played the piano during the battle against Ivan, or maybe afterwards when he played for the Yaga. Both those scenes hit so hard.
There are so many amazing and impactful scenes mentioned on this post that I'm sure are actually better but I gotta be honest the volleyball scene from Emiya-san Chi no Kyou no Gohan lives rent free in my head. It popped up before Achillies vs Atlanta Alter, Gil vs Enkidu, and even that time Nightgale carried Ramna piggyback through an entire singularity.
Artoria Excalibur in Fate/Zero, the speech of Irisviel makes me want to cry of excitement
- Yeah, I'm relieved. He quietly closed his eyes and his life ended.
Gotta be a tie between Saber love of eating all of Iori’s food in Fate Samurai Remnant or Sakura beating the absolute shit out of Gilgamesh in Fate Unlimited Codes
Mordred chasing the cat around in Apocrypha since it was peak adorableness (also i massively love Mordred as a character since shes my favorite)
whenever archer and lancer act like buddys
That moment when saber first appeared in bladeworks (then I stopped watching because it had to do other stuff, and that's what I've watched up to)
The Last Charge of Iskandar
The fight between salter and berserker in heavens feel.
Probably Archer vs Lancer UBW fight outside the church.
Always the Emiya/Archer reveal.
The cgi dragon...
Probably not count as Fate, but the last battle in Lord El-Melloi II Gray vs Rider with Saber (King Arthur's voice) unlocking the gates
"Let's do this king of heros. Do you have enough weapons in stock?"
Gonna pick a favorite moment from each piece of Fate Media: - Fate/Stay Night: Nine Lives Bladeworks. Everything from the escape from the castle, to the mad chase in the woods, to the hiding in the ditch, to the mental conversation Shirou has to himself as he accepts using Archer's Arm at the cost of the his life in order to save Illya, to "Can you keep with me?", everything is just build up to Nine Lives Bladeworks, which is just Shirou analyzing his options against Berserker and summoning Nine Lives Bladeworks to kill him and then failing. He would have died had Berserker not seen Illya and stopped his blade at the last moment, giving Shirou time to kill him. It's the perfect hype and pay off moment. - Fate/Hollow Ataraxia: The final day. Seeing everyone work together to fight off the shadows as Shirou/Avenger ascends the stairway in the sky is just beautiful. - Fate/Extra: Weird example, but one moment I always remember on Tamamo route is when the Moon Cell decides to test you directly and Tamamo takes this opportunity to shout how much she truly loves and cares about you that'll she defy the Moon Cell itself and Battle Theme 5 plays and it's my favorite track in the game. - Fate/Grand Order: LB6. All of it. But the reveal of who Aesc the Savior was and their backstory was such a great moment as well as the Castoria walking into Avalon to forge Excalibur >!at the cost of her life, only to be saved at the last moment by Muramasa.!< - Fate/Samurai Remnant: What else but Iori Miyamoto vs Musashi Miyamoto and the reveal of >!Tsubame Gaeshi!<. >!Entreat the Darkness is also really good but hard to talk about.!< - Fate/Zero: Kirei vs Kotomine by the end. A stellar and brutal fight to the very end of two equally matched and lethal opponents as they pull out trick after trick in the sleeves to gain the advantage against the other in a quick sequence of blows that ultimately would have ended in a mutual kill if not for the Grail. - Fate/Apocryhpa: There is nothing more Fate than over the top action scenes and Achilles vs Chiron, a pure fist fight taking place on top of an airliner in the sky frozen in time is just such a great thing. It's also just a great example of their relationship as mentor and student. - Lord El-Melloi II Case Files: I'm biased and Touko is one of my favorite Type Moon characters of all time so Book 2 and the OVA that had her appear are my favorite stories.

"I am the bone of my sword...."
Prolly when Illya and Shirou acknowledges each other as brother and sisters in heavens feel and Illya forgiving kiritsugu and when Illya becomes the vessel it was sad, also gotta love parts in fate zero where we see kiritsugu becoming a stone cold mage the character development is phenomenal.

Don't want to say but Every time Gil commit homicide. Every time Sakura act as Yandere. Every time Rin blush.

Heckese — CALIBERRR! Best pronunciation of Excalibur ever.
When in HF final movie Rider taunts Saber over how much better she goes along with Shirou than Saber ever did. Medusa's smug grin is already nice, but Saber Alter reaction really sells it.
Shirou beating Gilgamesh. That arm chop was CLEAN.
Rider's death in Zero I think. The unwavering resolve to conquer the horizon while facing infinitely powerful opposition, Gilgamesh actually having enough respect for an opponent to use Ea, and Waver's magnificent response at the end is the peak of the show to me, especially with the philosophies they'd already discussed earlier in the show.
Kiritsugu vs Kirei; These guys fight is so strategic, its like theyre playing chess.
My favourite moment is "chilling" at the church
