* More of a [[Crowning Moment of Awesome]] for the author: "Alexander's Day", (almost) an ''entire'' episode in 12-syllable-a-line poetry called [http://en.[wikipedia.org/wiki/:Alexandrine |alexandrines]]. With slang and everything.
* [[Lovable Coward|Bohort]] [[Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass|finding his "war cry"]] and [[Unstoppable Rage|rushing towards the enemy line]]. "MISCREEAAAANTS!!" Doubles as a [[Crowning Moment of Funny]], partly because Arthur later mentions that Bohort was seriously beat up, but he (Arthur) had to post two guards at the infirmary door to stop Bohort from [[Unstoppable Rage|rushing out again]].
* Another Crowning Moment of Awesome/Funny for Bohort: When Arthur gets fed up with Bohort cowardice and inaptitude to fight, he decides to train him, beginning with hand-to-hand combat. After a full episode of Bohort failing to get even the basics, we see in the end that he ''finally'' manages to parry one of Arthur's punch, which in itself, ''is'' a CMoA. But then, Arthur do the same move, after telling Bohort to parry and counterattack. He reluctantly tries... And ''[[Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass|damn well knocks Arthur out]]''.
Line 9:
* The look on Sallustius' face when Arthur shows him Excalibur. This is when he starts to realize that his brilliant plan may be drifting away from his control.
* In the very first episode of Livre VI (where, since it's [[Prequel|that kind of season]], every fan is expecting to see the protagonists during their youth), we learn that Manius Macrinus Firmus, the Dux totius britanniae (i.e. the Roman governor of Britain) has proposed a deal to the "Britain chief": a whopping amount of gold in exchange of a truce, with the knowledge that for a Briton chief, a treaty is like a sacred oath. When his aide-de-camp asks him if the chief might accept the gold ''and'' attack, Macrinus replies that you have to be smart to break an oath, while the chief is "thick as a plank". Then, at the very end of the episode:
{{quote| '''[[He's Back|Goustan]]:''' ''(sitting inside his tent, staring at a pile of gold ingots)'' Frankly, I feel embarassed. I, who thought the Romans respected their enemy... But no. Disillusioned yet again... If they think they're going to federate the country with that kind of mentality... I say we return their dough, we saddle up, and we smack in their faces! ''(beat)'' [[Greed|On the other hand, returning such an amount of money would be bordering on bad taste]]; sorry, but this isn't something to do, if only for the more needy. ''(smirks, then serious again)'' But then, there's the oath. If I keep the gold, I don't attack?... That's it, then. I keep the gold, I don't attack; an oath's sacred. ''(the camera, slowly traveling around Goustan, passes behind a silhouette; Goustan continues, to the silhouette)'' But what I find so upsetting is that [[Loophole Abuse|this is the very day I'd chosen to hand over power to you]]. ''(laughs)'' Aren't dates something, eh? I keep the gold, I don't attack, I'm under oath. But ''you''... ''(music rises)'' Now that you are [[Hint Dropping|King of Carmelid]]... If you feel like going and beating the shit out of them, I really don't see how I could stop you!<br />
''(sticks his knife into the table, [[Evil Laugh|laughing maniacally]]; the silhouette heads towards the exit of the tent, and is revealed to be Goustan's son Léodagan while he speaks to his troops outside)''<br />
'''Léodagan:''' Hey, guys! Guess what we're eating tonight? '''Romans!'''<br />
''(troops cheering)'' }}
