Umineko: When They Cry/Awesome

"Rosa: I'll show you... my Golden Dream!!"
 * Ange in particular has a few:
 * Her Big Damn Heroes entrance at the end of Episode 3.
 * "Leave the jokes to your hairstyle."
 * "There are no toilets here so I guess you had to elegantly drop a load behind a tree."
 * Rosa's final actions at the end of Ep2:  It was awesome enough to inspire her own video game.
 * Pretty much the whole ending of Ep2, with the hunt, Rosa protecting Maria, then finally they put up a last stand together ending in a Rosa firing some shots with pictures flashing by ending with the Umineko logo and then the When the Seagulls cry message and all of this accompanied with probably the most badass of the music in the VN (which with how good the soundtrack is quite amazing) World End Dominator. Seriously just watch it
 * And in Ougon Musou Kyoku, Rosa Musou, Goat Killer gets her key moments there made into her Super Move, Rondo Super and Meta Super.
 * Golden Dream: with a giant ingot, but still:
 * And in Ougon Musou Kyoku, Rosa Musou, Goat Killer gets her key moments there made into her Super Move, Rondo Super and Meta Super.
 * Golden Dream: with a giant ingot, but still:

"Rosa: Maria!
 * Goat Hunting: The Goat Killer combo, just as described in the Visual Novel.
 * And lastly, her Meta Super:

Maria: Uu-! Here, Mama! (a second Winchester is tossed to Rosa)"

"Belphegor: Resistance is futile. You don't need to think about anything. Just close your eyes. I'll finish everything gently.
 * Cue Rosa Dual-Wielding
 * Beatrice's first entrance in the anime. If there were any scenes in the anime that did the Visual Novel justice... Basically, Battler announces that if the others want to prove Beatrice's existence, they'll just have to bring her here. Guess who appears right behind Battler only seconds after his announcement?
 * Episode 3...pretty much all of it, actually. But to list just a few:
 * The entire Myth Battle between Beatrice and Virgilia. Even if it technically didn't happen, it is still awesome for both witches involved.
 * Kyrie and Rudolf facing off against two of the Seven Stakes, and Kyrie defeating her opponent by basically out-envying her.
 * Speaking of Rudolf, let's not forget this little exchange:

Rudolf: Heh, you'd make a good wife. A husband would love to hear that when he comes home tired."


 * And of course, who could ever forget
 * Don't forget what lead up to that - the incredible battle in the hall where Beato was shot through so many times that nothing but a HEART remained, and she still managed to hold off Evatrice...and the meta battle between Battler and Evatrice.
 * As bad as this may sound, Battler standing up to Beatrice by slapping her and generally telling her he's not going to take her crap anymore. Considering everything the guy's been through up to this point thanks to her and some of her actions, that was intensely satisfying.
 * The two battles between  and   wherein
 * And even when  To this troper, watching   was just...amazing. Of course, it also makes the following moment even more awesome:

"Leviathan: Who's our master?!
 * In episode 4, after seeing Kinzo spend the first few games screaming Beatrice's name at the sky and begging for her to return, he finally takes a level in badass:  There's a reason he gained something of a fanbase in America after the anime aired that particular episode.
 * Maria getting Rescued From the Scrappy Heap in Episode 4 goes Beyond the Impossible: The scene where manages to be this, horrifying, and a Tear Jerker at the same time. That alone makes it awesome.
 * The ending of Episode 4 where  qualifies...but when read in the proper context, it becomes a Tear Jerker.
 * In Episode 5, Erika is about to trap Kinzo in a closed room in his study on the third floor. Battler smashes that closed room by proposing that Kinzo could've escaped by diving out the window... and then proves it by doing so himself. Crazy Awesome: it's In the Blood.
 * The hidden tea pary of Episode 5.
 * The last chapter of EP6 has one for almost every fantasy character.
 * Beatrice
 * After spending two whole games absent from the real Beato's face, her troll sneer finally makes its triumphant return here.
 * Virgilia, Ronove, and Gaap
 * The Stakes of Purgatory
 * Lambdadelta
 * Erika
 * Battler: ", it's ten years early for you to tell someone to . Make sure to tell me that in ten years, alright?"
 * From the second tea party as well: "Looks delicious. Slice up your cowtits and make me a sandwich." Especially in context:
 * Made several times more awesome by immediately after saying this. Too bad the anime didn't show it.
 * Dunno if many people caught this, but the fact that Siesta 410 has faith in Battler in EP5.
 * EP6. Kanon  It is even accompanied by one of the best songs in the soundtrack!
 * Also in EP6, Beato's Trollface making it's triumphant return. Don't even PRETEND you weren't cheering at that point.
 * She and Battler get another, amazingly epic one at the very end of the episode, with just one line:
 * Not to mention it's a bit of a Mind Screw, because Erika's just declared in Red that Then Battler and Beato reply with the above in Red.
 * Not quite. She said she was on Rokkenjima. Big difference.  Dead, . However, you can't call ..
 * "human" and "people/person" mean different things in Umineko canon.
 * Dawn again: The Stakes' subverting Erika and Dlanor to help Beato and Battler out when Beato makes her return. Then, this conversation occurs:

Satan: It's Erika now, idiot!

Mammon: No, our master is Battler-sama!

Belphagor: True, she only speaks on his behalf.

Asmodeus: That's right, big sister! Whose furniture are we?

Beelzebub: It's just too delicious! Let's eat!"

"Cornelia: Let me speak, let me speak! Be that as it may, this is the third floor...! How could a wingless human escape from the window...?! Know that you won't get through, you won't!
 * Belz shoots forward and stakes Gertrude, but the barrier doesn't break. Gertrude just looks at Lucifer, and asks, "By whose orders? Know that Lady Erika has made no such order." "We do have orders. Th..the orders of our master!" "How can a master who cannot speak give orders?" "E..even though he can't talk, understanding a master's will is furniture's job!" With that, the six other Sisters all stake Gertrude, whose barrier shatters.
 * Episode 7. Eva in the Tea Party Also counts as a Tear Jerker when you know how she and Ange's future turns out...
 * Episode 7 again: Will crashing the Tea Party to Starting from when
 * Lion also gets to contribute by
 * Both made it more awesome by the fact that
 * A bit of a meta one: Witch Hunt, the group responsible for producing the unofficial English translation for the games, received a letter from Ryukushi07, the writer/creator of Umineko. Instead of responding with a Cease and Desist, like most would, R7 instead expressed admiration for their spirit and praised them for translating his game. He went on to name a group in the fourth episode of the novels after said translation group.
 * Battler disproving Erika's closed room theory in EP5-- by jumping out of a third story window.
 * Battler disproving Erika's closed room theory in EP5-- by jumping out of a third story window.

Battler: Quit your whining and watch!"


 * Episode 8, but it still contains a lot of awesome battles. Especially the EVERYONE vs goats and Lambda vs Bern/Featherine.
 * Six words:
 * Also, specifically during the goat fight:
 * Even before Lambda vs. Bern itself, Lambda should definitely count.
 * A Fridge Brilliance CMOA for Battler, if you subscribe to a certain theory about EP 6:
 * Let's put this in perspective. Not only did he How's that for a Meta-twist?
 * The entire scene in EP8. To wit:
 * Back-to-Back Badasses
 * The fantasy characters shooting down goats like there's no tomorrow
 * Battler's The Coats Are Off moment against
 * And of course, the aforementioned
 * Rosa almost-killing  four times at once (including shoving a gun straight down her throat and firing and punching a pen through her eye socket) after she yells to Maria that Rosa never loved her.   manages to survive, just, only for Dlanor to declare that her actions are unforgivable and issue a No Holds Barred Beatdown that forces   to flee the battle.
 * Earlier on,, saving Ange from a horde of goats.
 * And let us not forget the group that made it possible for us to read this series, Witch Hunt. Their work has been nothing short of amazing and with no payment, hundreds of fans constantly wondering when the next translation will be up they have now finished the series. You guys are nothing short of amazing and well deserve the praise R7 gave you.
 * Natsuhi's Mama Bear moment for Jessica by taking a stand against  in Episode 6. , but given her Chew Toy status, you have to give her props for having the courage to do that for her daughter's sake.
