• Wei gets at least three
  • The first one is when Xiahou Dun gets his eye shot out, rips the arrow out, and proceeds to continue the fight! Unfortunately, his eyepatch is applied immediately after the cutscene, and there's no indication of the rumor that he ate the eyeball.
  • In the cutscene after that same battle, Zhang Liao basically telling Lu Bu to stop being a pussy about being executed -- which is implied to be the reason that Cao Cao chose for Zhang Liao to live and Lu Bu to die.
  • Dian Wei's death counts as both awesome and a bit of a Tearjerker
• Crowning Music of Awesome: As noted above, the soundtrack is pretty damn awesome. You're guaranteed a great piece of music almost any time He Fei Castle comes under seige.
  • Yellow Storm.
  • Dynasty Warriors 7 the last battle
  • Lu Bu's Theme in every single one of its incarnations.
  • Dynasty Warriors 3 treated the battle Wu Zhang Plains as the final battle, especially for Shu. It was honored with this epic piece.
    • Also from DW 3, Arena is probably the single most memorable soundtrack from the game to veteran players.
  • Thousand Suns, the music to the Battle of Chi Bi in Dynasty Warriors 7
    • Huang Gai's moment when the music plays too.
• If a cutscene must be a crowning moment of awesome, then Jin's ending is the best way to end the game.
  • Even moreso, that cutscene takes the usual 'Liu Shan not grieving on Shu' scene and have Liu Shan make a good statement about people shouldn't be too bound on past tradition to achieve peace, a statement that Sima Zhao agreed on... and in turn... makes the grieving Shu officers cheer in joy and probably makes an in-universe Rescued from the Scrappy Heap for Liu Shan.
