Digimon Xros Wars/Awesome

"Taiki: Like hell it is! Who said that the defeated ones were trash?! Everyone deserves a second chance! That’d be a perfect world!
 * The show just kicked off, and it was All Just a Dream on the main character's part, but the first few minutes of this series definitely qualify. As the evil Bagura Army emerges from the shadows, comprised of multiple high leveled Digimon and ominous soldiers, our hero Taiki appears with his comrades, Shoutmon, Ballistamon, and Dorurumon... along with shadowed versions of Digimon heroes from past seasons. Then, Taiki commands the three to combine to Shoutmon x4, who utterly decimates the opposing army, as old friends look on in awe... this doubles as a figurative Passing the Torch moment for the franchise as well. Combine that with Taiki waking up, followed by them focusing on the legendary goggles... and then cue the opening credits.
 * The entirety of the one hour special of episodes 10 and 11. So, so very much. But mainly  A special mention to.
 * Pretty much every time Zenjirou is using the Rare Star Sword
 * Sparrowmon's successful determined effort to save Nene in episode 17. This is followed up by the debut of X5.
 * Dear lord, Episode 19 is just one Crowning Moment of Awesome after another for DarkKnightmon in the 2nd part. He destroys X4, then, as he's having a tiny bit of trouble with Metagreymon and X4, as in, not being able to land a hit, but not being hit himself, he knocks both of them out by Then, when the 'Invincible' Deckerdramon, Metalgreymon, and X4 all attack him at once, in a Worf Barrage and Smoke Shield moment, he is completely unharmed. And unfazed. This is the same time when it's revealed he's pulling the strings too, not his human partner, Nene, a complete first for the franchise.
 * Taiki punching in the face in episode 21.
 * How about Puppetmon Take this into consideration: ''
 * Taiki, armed with nothing more than a ball and chain on his leg, using it to kick Arkadimon in the chest.
 * Zenjirou. Episode 24..
 * Episode 26- Shoutmon trains himself after feeling like he's not strong enough to be the center of the team's Xroses, and it pays off as X4B manages to hold his own against Blastmon. Then Nene and Sparrowmon show up and we get treated to the debut of X5B, who completely and utterly owns Blastmon. As Shoutmon put it, "We're rocking harder than ever before!"
 * Shoutmon X5 VS Breakdramon in episode 28.
 * The entire battle with Xros Heart and Blue Flare against Tactimon in episode 29.
 * Let us elaborate- Tactimon drops a large tower-like device that stops anyone from entering or leaving the zone. He ends up hitting X5B and DeckerGreymon so hard that they separate into all their individual components. After Tactimon asks what the problem is with Digimon being revived as evil once more, since they were just “trash data that was already destroyed”...

Shoutmon: Taiki, you’re right! Even if we lose, it’s okay, as long as our hearts aren’t broken!

Dorulumon: As long as you believe that…

Ballistamon: We will always stand up!"

"Tactimon: You won’t get away with corrupting my underling!
 * Taiki and all the Digimon comprising X5 force themselves to their feet despite the gravity imposed by Tactimon’s assault, much to his surprise. Grademon shows up and performs a Heroic Sacrifice (“It’s a shame I have to do this to the new body you gave me… but I have no other weapon!”), thanking Taiki for showing him the right path, in order to destroy the tower grounding everyone in the Sword Zone.

Taiki: (on the verge of Manly Tears as "We Are Xros Heart" kicks in) He just found goodness in his heart… You’re the one who won’t get away with this!"


 * Beelzemon shows up, Grademon’s sacrifice enabling him to enter the zone, and with Shoutmon’s declaration that his anger took away all his pain, Taiki Xroses them to X5B. Tactimon attempts to use his Second Strike, which paralyzes enemies with the corrupted spirits of dead Digimon, but Taiki summons the entirety of Xros Heart to break X5B out. X5B throws two of his ultimate attacks at Tactimon, which the villain almost blocks, but Greymon adds in his firepower and overwhelms Tactimon, allowing Shoutmon to finally send him flying into the stratosphere!
 * Shoutmon
 * Heck, it started with this statement:
 * Heck, it started with this statement:


 * And what started it all was
 * What really needs to be mentioned is how it ends:
 * Episode 31:
 * In Episode 35, Nene  Digimon Xros Wars: reminding us that the girls can be just as badass as the boys.
 * Taiki gets a serious awesome moment in episode 39 simply by being smart.  Taiki was already the smartest gogglehead in Digimon by far, but this just pushes him into another level.
 * In episode 41,
 * Not to forget
 * Speaking of, special mention must be made of
 * Same episode, little bit later: Taiki's Unflinching Walk toward, even as the latter's Digimon attack him. Ballistamon pulls a Barehanded Blade Block against  , and Dorulumon knocks   flat on his ass before he can even make a move!
 * And of course, mention must be made of 's Heroic Sacrifice.
 * And in the next episode, X7 utterly curbstomps Gravimon. The Death General wasn't just beaten, he was utterly devastated.
 * In Episode 46, Kiriha shows just how far he's come by breaking Yuu's strategy wide open and proving that Xros Heart and Blue Flare's Power of Friendship is strong enough for everyone to be able to DigiXros each other's digimon. What follows is Nene commanding X5, while Taiki comes full gogglehead circle and fights Yuu and Tsuwamon with MetalGreymon, complete with Xros Heart emblems in their DigiXros sequence. It only gets better when you remember how badly the last battle Kiriha was in charge of went.
 * Taiki realizing that he'll have to beat some sense into Yuu and then owning him in their sword duel, ending with him snapping Yuu's sword in two and then punching him in the face! This troper cheered. And then Shoutmon X7 delivering a Curb Stomp Battle to a beefed-up Tsuwamon.
 * And at that point,
 * The final fight against . The villain uses his host body as a shield in an attempt to stop Taiki from fighting, but Taiki does so without hesitation, and the Digimon that make up X4 all throw their attacks at him (Ballistamon even breaks out his Ultimate Speaker!), much to Whispered's surprise. Then Kiriha and Nene show up, and X7 is formed. Whispered looks like he's about to destroy everyone with his ultimate attack, but all the Digimon on the ground below begin to cheer X7 on, and   to stop Whispered's attack. This gives X7 the chance to finish it with SEVEN VICTORIZE MAXIMUM!
 * The episode in the Prison Zone has a series of moments for a variety of characters- for example:
 * One for the villains (I guess you could call it a Crowning Moment of Villainy):
 * The final episode. Just, EVERYTHING about the final episode. Especially with the Easily the best Grand Finale in the entire Digimon FRANCHISE! Words fail to describe the sheer awesome this has, and never since Bokura No War Game has the franchise ever seen such an awesome moment.
 * The fact that, for once, it's not just the partner Digimon that are doing the fighting, but that  is what makes the final battle worth watching. Multiple times.
 * Not to mention
 * I AM! THE FUTURE! DIGIMON KING!!
 * One for the lesser-sung heroes as well: Cutemon and Akari attacking Bagramon head-on to save Taiki. They didn't have a chance but refused to hesitate, and that takes seriously massive guts. Considering that they're two of the characters least associated with fighting it was a great moment for them both.
