Yu-Gi-Oh! Zexal/Awesome


 * Episode 9. Due to Yuma thinking Kotori has been kidnapped, he's in total serious mode and duels competently without the Numbers or Astral's help (the only advice he needed was how an attack-lock works).
 * The entire duel between Kaito and Yuma, as Kaito easily summoned 2 numbers in his first turn. It Got Worse for our heroes from there.
 * Episode 18 reveals  which is essentially the Mid Season Upgrade for Aspiring Emperor Hope.
 * Also Yuma and Astral speaking together as they take back Hope and defeat Jin.
 * Episode 19 - Yuma's dad is hanging off a cliff and cuts the rope around him so that his wife can go on. He gets saved a week later, but it still shows that he's a Badass.
 * Episode 43. IV has summoned a Numbers with an effect which will win his side the duel on the next turn. Kaito has been blasted into unconsciousness by said Number's attack. Yuma is practically begging Kaito to wake up.
 * What's even better is that Kaito
 * It might not be so awesome when you realize the writers made a huge mistake in that last turn involving Photon Pressure World ...
 * Not especially. The effect of Photon Pressure World is optional. Kaito just went for the Burn damage for the sake of being a dick to Yuma.
 * Episode 45. Fuya has a massive 5000 ATK Rank 10 Xyz on his field, Super Dimensional Robot Galaxy Destroyer. Gauche has one card in his hand, nothing on his field, and 100 Life Points. Fuya has the aforementioned Galaxy Destroyer and 2900 Life Points. Gauche makes his draw, and gets Heroic Challenger Double Lance, which he summons. He reveals that Double Lance can be treated as two materials for an Xyz Summon, and proceeds to use it to Xyz Summon his ace card, Heroic Champion Excalibur (ATK: 2000). Then he activates Excalibur's effect, detaching an Overlay Unit to double its ATK (ATK: 4000). Astral points out that Excalibur still can't beat Galaxy Destroyer. Then Gauche activates Heroic Chance, doubling Excalibur's ATK again (ATK: 8000). What happens next is fairly obvious. But it's immensely cool. Not to mention that this entire sequence is set to an awesome piece of background music.
 * III summoning Number 6: OOPArts Atlanthal in Episode 48. As usual its sealed form rises out of the Xyz vortex... and then it starts to expand and you realize how big the thing is. It seems to only have 2600 ATK... and then it absorbs Machu Mach via its effect and becomes a 5000 ATK nightmare. But hey, Yuma's alright, Hope can just negate its attacks right? Well, Hope can... but it can't negate the effect which halves Yuma's Life Points. That episode definitely ends on a high point for III. And Atlanthal is just awesome. Its attack name? Divine Punishment!
 * Episode 51: CARD Games ON ROLLER COASTERS!!! Also, the tag-team effort between all of Yuma's friends to get him his heart pieces back.
 * Episode 52: Yuma, Anna, and Gauche's tag-teaming against the Fallguys. Also, Anna leaping from her car to Yuma's.
 * Episode 58. Shark's on the ropes against IV, who has summoned Number 88: Gimmick Puppet - Destiny Leo, and next turn will be able to activate its Instant Win Condition. Shark destroys his own Different Dimension Trench, reviving his Number 32: Shark Drake from the banished zone, but Shark Drake isn't strong enough to destroy Destiny Leo. Then Shark does something which paints Oh Crap on IV's face:  Awesome.
