Soul Eater/Awesome

All of the characters seem to be getting theirs one by one (some of the main ones several). Here's what we got so far.

Maka & Soul
"Maka: Then why do men cheat?!
 * The first episode has, by far the coolest line in anime during the "fight" between Maka and Soul.

Soul: How should I know? Cool guys don't cheat."


 * Soul saving Maka from a lethal blow by taking it himself...and surviving, albeit barely. Later, he
 * When Maka willingly
 * Hell, even before that
 * Episode 24/chapter 22 when the busts through the roof, Maka comes speeding in at the last second and grabs on to one of the ...trailing skin...while using scythe soul to atempt to slow him down, refusing to let go even when rocks from the tunnel shower down on her, all the way to the surface.
 * Maka vs the Clown. Pwned.
 * Maka and Soul perform a double-whammy of awesome in chapter 59
 * In the final episode of Soul Eater, (Anime Exclusive, so far) Maka.
 * Wait wait wait wait. You left out the best part. He "snaps her out of it" by  This is less a CMOA for Maka than it is for her voice actress.
 * Even better is when, at the end of the episode with
 * This all the while Crowning Music of Awesome Psychedelic Souljam is blasting in the background.
 * In chapter 64, Maka gives up the cute, little angel wings she had Soul transform into, for the much more Badass wings. Just see here.
 * Soul, in an attempt to protect his meister

Black☆Star & Tsubaki
""Even Tsubaki has a scent!""
 * Tsubaki's crowning moment was when she managed to escape from being absorbed by her brother, only to absorb him.
 * For me it was this line.

"Black☆Star: I absolutely won't give up! When I lose is when I die! Until I myself accept that I've lost... then I haven't lost!"
 * Black☆Star has had several but a notable one is
 * The end to that fight counts as one as well.
 * Anime:


 * For me, it was when Black☆Star was able to snap Kid out of his Face Heel Turn and make it through all seven chapters of the Book of Eibon
 * Also

Death the Kid, Patty and Liz

 * I'm surprised his victory in his debut episode wasn't mentioned here yet! He completes his mission to destroy the cursed soul of a witch and kill a mummy who absorbed her by blasting it point blank with both his pistols in about a hundred shots, which eventually demolishes the entire pyramid... all because the mummy wasn't at all symmetrical!
 * And this is after he spent a few minutes letting it impale him multiple times and beat on him with a giant hammer, simply because it was symmetrical before it showed its real face.
 * The only thing that remained of the mummy? The little decoration on its forehead. In other words, the only thing about it that was symmetrical.
 * While all the while screaming "DISGUSTING DISGUSTING DISGUSTING!"
 * Defeating
 * Most recent one was
 * That, and that he didn't care about the symmetry  It's well known that Kid's obsession with symmetry has a pretty damn hard grip on him, so the fact that he simply   just makes him that more awesome.


 * I'm surprised that his stunt in episode 50 hasn't been mentioned. After
 * Pretty much every time we're reminded that the quirky little guy is a god. An uncanny, unpredictable small god.
 * Kid gets taken to the witch's council to try and get them to help, it turns out to be a set up. Kid's Badass Boast that he could easily kill every witch at the council without any trouble is just nothing short of awesome. And this is without Liz and Patty, who were left behind at Shibusen.

Shinigami
""You filthy unforgivable swine! That's it, I'M GOING TO SKIN YOU ALIVE AGAIN!""
 * Shinigami-sama in the old days, as well as his (short-lived) fight against the Kishin.
 * Doesn't even matter that, that was a crowning moment of badass.


 * Shinigami in Episode 47:
 * Shinigami Chopping
 * Even when he presumably reacted like that only because Medusa was in a child's body, there's still the sense he was saying she's nothing more to him than a naughty child who's made a mess of things. And then there's how Shinigami and Spirit treat her afterwards...
 * Whenever he talks in his deep voice.

Others
"Stein: "Medusa, consider yourself fired.""
 * Blair is when she takes on the rest of the Mizune sisters and manages to land several powerful blows in cat form.  Later, she then
 * Blair kicks yet more ass while in cat form.
 * The entirity of Medusa's Magnificent Bastard plot.
 * Baba Yaga's Castle Chapter 15, where it's revealed . It's like she's going for the record in sheer manipulative bastardry.
 * Ox  While it seems silly, the moment is a mix of this and heartwarming.
 * Kilik, after waiting around in plain sight for a while,
 * Ragnerok spends the first arc as The Dragon and the Body Horror and then seems to be permanently trapped as a muppet. He gets his CMOA when he refutes his new found status as comic relief by pulling off a Barehanded Blade Block against a Big Fucking Chainsaw and then knocking the badie on his ass just by shouting at him.
 * Mifune, in episode 28 during his second battle with Black☆Star. Pretty much the entire battle, and flashbacks. They even changed the opening theme to the song that debued in this battle, it was that hardcore. This leads up to further moments such as the later battle against Cid, his dagger, and a Death Blunderbuss.
 * Stein owns Black☆Star without getting up from his chair.
 * Your Mileage May Vary and whatever you want, but for this trooper, Excalibur getting a  All hail Excalibur! His legend began in the 12th century!
 * Kilik and Kim fighting the Black Clown. Especially considering that Kilik was teamed up with four weapons at once, when Kidd himself said that using two at once was incredibly difficult. And then he has them combine their powers into a Wave Motion Gun.
 * Noah killing Mosquito mid-transformation and, better still, mid-sentence.
 * Stein and Spirit versus Medusa. In between the scientist and witch attacking each another, they chat about chaos, authority, and the entertaining prospects of hurting one another. While Spirit hangs around trying to keep an eye on Stein and they both restrain Medusa. The moment when Stein slices Medusa in two, and she 'wins' because it was Asura's freed soul that allowed him to do so is surely one of the most awesome events in the series. The anime makes it all the more so, thanks to the voice-actor's creepy, fantastic, laughter.

"Crona: I don't want to hear gentle words...they annoy me. I don't know how to deal with them. I threw everything away because you told me to. I THREW EVERYTHING AWAY BECAUSE YOU TOLD ME TO! But that's unfair, mother, because I threw away the only one who really loves me...if you threw everything away, does that mean you threw me away, too!?"
 * I'm surprised Hiro hasn't been mentioned yet. Being the only one in the series who can deal with every one of Excalibur's provisions is awesome.
 * Harvar's moments of combat pragmatism in the Baba Yaga arc. He gets rid of the Artifact soldier distracting Thunder and Fire by slicing it in two (to their distress, they are little kids). He solves the threat of a still-brainwashed Jackie by knocking her out. His earlier stabbing of Kim to protect Ox is less-than awesome due to its brutality, but it showed a kind of sense. Plus, his all-round stoicism averts the usual Personality Powers of one with Shock and Awe abilities.
 * What makes all this better is that his personality was firmly established in the same chapter he stabbed Kim. The fact he was able to overpower and actually stab a meister wielding a weapon without the help of his meister actually makes that moment pretty awesome.
 * Come on. Who didn't cheer when Black Star punched Maka?
 * Your Mileage May Vary on that one, this troper actually doesn't mind Maka and finds Black Star to be the more annoying one.
 * Then how about Angela's Groin Attack on Black Star?
 * "We were reckless". There's something awesome about the moment when, after opening episodes of crazy action and general light-hearted shounen-ness, Maka and Soul find themselves with no way out of the cathedral, or away from Crona (who kept telling them they were trapped) and just how far out of their depth they are. They didn't know what they were up against, and realising - along with the whole of Crona's debut - was the first indication of how the author likes to play.
 * Crona and Ragnarok splitting the Nidhogg and the Flying Dutchman into two perfect halves. And this was right after the Flying Dutchman called them "rookies." Even Kid was amazed.
 * After faking his own death, Tezca Tlipoca demonstrates to Justin that he's not just tougher than he looks, he's nigh-indestructible. Cut his reflection-clones to pieces? They'll just make a new body.
 * In chapter 87, where Crona  Medusa, and calls her out for being a horrible mother. Like a boss, Crona. Like a BOSS.


 * We can't forget the anime version of this too. Gecko Ending or not, it was awesome to finally see
 * Actually, this is an horribly well-done subversion. A good part of the awesome of Crona calling Medusa out  dilutes when you realize that, well, it was ALL a part of Medusa's plan, and thus   So the REAL CMOA goes to Medusa, for being smart and cruel enough to   and totally dominate Chrona for-e-ver, unless   can do something definitive to stop
 * For a short lived character, Feodor got one of the best. By simply kicking Chrona. In the face.
 * This AMV, set to the Marilyn Manson version of "This is Halloween" that beautifully showcases the show's mastery over macabre imagery.
