I don’t think I can say it enough times – fighting anime really aren’t my thing. They used to be, though. I loved the thrill of those people doing extraordinary things that take them decades to master. This next attack is good not only because it is awesome and extraordinary, but also because it is a revelation. It is the supremely powerful attack of a being whose name need not be mentioned. It is…
Excalibur (Fate/Stay Night)
To be fair, I’m basing this decision almost entirely on the visual novel, however the scene in the anime is quite good as well. Saber unleashes her Noble Phantasm, Excalibur, on an unsuspecting Rider. It is, to put it bluntly, overwhelming. Rider is destroyed in a single hit, with nothing remaining.
The beautiful golden sword is also revealed for the first time in this scene. Excalibur is a sword known only to one hero: Arthur. Thus, Saber’s true identity is revealed in this scene as well. In the visual novel, this is a matter of crucial importance, because Saber kept it specifically hidden from Shirou, the main character. It’s a very good scene.
There’s the full thing, in all its glory. To be honest, it is way better in the visual novel. But most things are like that: the source material is usually better.
