History Awesome / FateMagnusBellum

** The dogfight between Gilgamesh and Lancelot ends with the latter blowing up the former's craft similar to LightNovel/FateZero, only for Gilgamesh to emerge from the wreck riding his motorcycle and punting the Black Knight off his jet with the bike, causing it to disintegrate. The King of Heroes then uses the Chains of Heaven to form a makeshift net to safely bring him to the ground.

* Chapter 18: When recounting how he destroyed the Holy Grail in the Third War, Arthur was compelled by Shirou to kill himself, causing the King of Knights to impale himself on Excalibur. However, Shirou did not specify ''how'' Arthur should kill himself which led to him activating ''Excalibur'' and blasting the Grail, Shirou, and himself to oblivion while destroying the cave the Grail was located at. While it did not work completely as the Grail is still around and Shirou survived with an incarnated human body, it was still a DyingMomentOfAwesome for the legendary ''King of Knights''.

** Another one also occurs during said fight: ''Gilgamesh headbutts Lancelot''. What's impressive about this is the fact that Lancelot wears a plated helmet. ''Gilgamesh willfully bashed his head against steel and did it so hard that it actually made the former flinch''. There's a reason why he's called the King of Heroes.

** Heck, even the Masters, notably Kairi, Gray, and Fiore, put up a good showing of it, blasting and slicing apart the Dragon Bone Warriors Semiramis created within her Hanging Gardens.

* Chapter 25: The brief fight between Gilgamesh and Ozymandias also counts. Gilgamesh had to unlock the full power of the Gates of Babylon against the Egyptian Pharaoh and the latter managed to counter it with his own Noble Phantasms.

* Chapter 3: The fight between Jeanne and Arthur versus Karna and Atalanta deserves a mention here. Despite being at a disadvantage fighting against the invincible Son of Surya, Arthur manages to hold his own by pure swordsmanship. He even mentions that he would have died multiple times if not for it. Also of mention is Jeanne using her Revelation Skill to get the jump on Atalanta.

* Chapter 9-10: In order to defend his Master, Cu Chulainn takes on Karna in a fight. Props to both during the fight as Cu manages to give Karna his first real injury throughout the war whereas Karna managed to ''[[MadeOfIron survive his heart being stabbed]]''. When Cu sees this, he's impressed and asks if Karna is some sort of god but then brushes it off as he gives off this line.

* Chapters 13 - 15 contain the entire Battle for the Greater Grail at the Yggmellania Castle and there are tons of awesome moments within these three chapters.
** When Hassan of the Hundred Faces reveals he and his Master are spies for the Rogue Faction and try to get Caster of Black Medea to betray her Master Roche, she refuses and puts up a good fight against them despite being outnumbered.

** Although he dies in the end, Chiron manages to hold off Hassan's personas, break Perseus's arm and reveal his name to Fiore before the latter kills him. This injury would affect Perseus later into the story, so even in death Chiron manages to aid the Alliance by hampering his former pupil.

* Chapter 18: When recounting how he destroyed the Holy Grail in the Third War, Arthur was compelled by Shirou to kill himself, causing the King of Knights to impale himself on Excalibur. However, Shirou did not specify ''how'' Arthur should kill himself which led to him activating Excalibur and blasting the Grail, Shirou, and himself to oblivion and destroying the cave the Grail was stored at. While it did not work completely as the Grail is still around and Shirou survived and was incarnated with a human body, it was still a DyingMomentOfAwesome for the legendary King of Knights.

* Chapters 30 - 31: While it is not done yet, the battle between Shirou's Rogue Faction and Manaka's Servants has some of these moments.

** The later fight between Richard and Cu Chulainn and Brynhild. The latter manages to fight both of them at the same time without much difficulty, and the former two working together to defeat the Valkyrie. It ends with Richard and Brynhild using their Noble Phantasms against each other with Richard on the losing end of that battle, only for Cu Chulainn to strike Brynhild from behind with Gae Bolg, likely killing her ([[DeathIsCheap albeit temporarily]]).

** The fight between Karna and Achilles is impressive by itself when two absurdly powerful immortal heroes are duking it out and are evenly matched, especially for Achilles who finds excitement fighting an opponent that won't die too easily.
** Siegfried engages the Rogue Rider Perseus on the rooftops of Yggmellania Castle. Upon realizing that Rider can bypass his invulnerable skin with scythe, the former shrugs it off, thinking that as long as he blocks and dodges Rider's attacks, it should not be a problem. Also, a mention to Perseus for being able to fight Siegfried.

* Chapters 7-8: The first true battle of the Great Holy Grail War begins as the Red Faction starts their assault against the Black Faction.
** One particular standout moment is Mordred taking on Siegfried. Unlike in canon, she ends facing off against the real one and finds herself outclassed by how skilled he is. Goes to show how powerful a warrior Siegfried when given the proper chance to shine.

** Siegfried engages the Rogue Rider Perseus on the rooftops of Yggmellania Castle. Upon realizing that Rider can bypass his invulnerable skin with his Noble Phantasm, the former shrugs it off, thinking that as long as he blocks and dodges Rider's attacks, it should not be a problem.

** This is later supplemented with Heracles fighting Karna as the abovementioned three go off to deal with the rest of Manaka's Servants. Special mention goes to Karna using Vasavi Shakti against Heracles without his armour of invincibility and keeping up with him and the latter ''only'' lost four lives from the God-killing weapon.

** The fight between Heracles and Richard, Atalante, and Perseus is one long sequence of the latter three trying not to die to the former, but they managed to kill him at least once despite the odds arrayed against them.

** The later fight between Richard and Cu Chulainn and Brynhildr. The latter manages to fight both of them at the same time without much difficulty.

* Chapter 23: Iskandar revealing Ionioi Hetairoi is a moment of awesome by itself.

** The later fight between Richard and Cu Chulainn and Brynhildr. The latter manages to fight both of them at the same time without much difficulty. It ends with Richard and Brynhildr using their Noble Phantasms against each other, only for Cu Chulainn to strike Brynhildr from behind with Gae Bolg, likely killing her ([[spoiler:Albeit temporarily if that was what happened]]).

* Chapter 12: The Banquet of Heroes. Much like in Fate/Zero and its Banquet of Kings, just imagining the idea of all these legendary figures sitting down and having drinks with each other is just awesomeness in itself.

--->'''Cu Chulainn:''' Even if you are a god, the fact that you can bleed means that you can die.

** Another one also occurs during said fight: ''Gilgamesh headbutts Lancelot''. What's impressive about this is the fact that Lancelot wears a plated helmet. ''Gilgamesh willfully bashed his head against steel and did it so hard that it actually made the former flinch''. Man is a badass indeed.

** Even before then, Jeanne manages to briefly fight off Berserker and Archer despite later admitting she never had any skill with weaponry or personally fighting. [[BadassPacifist Badass Pacifist]] ''indeed''.
