Line 19:
** Destroying Geiersburg right as it starts a kamikaze attack on Iserlohn.
** The [[Kansas City Shuffle]] to {{spoiler|retake Iserlohn Fortress, involving numerous contradictory false orders to thin out the soldiers onboard, luring most of the rest out with a Trojan Horse virus planted as he left the last time disabling the fortress' weapons, then turning those weapons back on as soon as the Imperial forces return.}}
** The episodes 78 through 81: {{spoiler|the remnant of the Free Planet Alliance have been reduced to a single fortress, they are outmatched ten ships against one, Reinhard is pretty much the [[Magnificient Bastard]] [
* Julian Minci's first battle, where he parks himself inches from a cruiser's hull and shoots the missiles it's about to fire, destroying the whole ship and riding the shockwave to safety.
** Seeing through Muller's plan to trap the Iserlohn forces inside the fortress, and getting onto the bridge of the lead ship as they execute his plan to escape the trap.
Line 29:
** {{spoiler|Upon taking a fatal steel beam through his shoulder, he refuses to have surgery and leave his fleet to fend for itself, and spends the next several hours giving calm, rational, and effective orders while under enormous pain.}}
*** "Stop panicking. ''I'm'' the one who is wounded, not you."
** {{spoiler|Killing Job Truniht, then treating the dying man to a [["The Reason You Suck" Speech]], including berating him for forcing Reuental's last kill to be as dishonorable as shooting an unarmed man he'd called to his office.}}
* Rubinsky defeating his [[Smug Snake]] son before escaping the Imperial occupation force. Welcome to the [[Magnificent Bastard]] designation.
* Episode 52 has ''five'': Julian figuring out Reinhard's strategy, Poplan tricking two fighters into crashing into a cruiser and destroying all three ships, Yang drawing Reinhard out into the middle of his forces, Muller's [[Big Damn Heroes]] saving Reinhard from that last one, and Yang forcing Muller to leave the battle to get another shot at Reinhard.
* Hildegard von Mariendorf {{spoiler|coming up with the plan to attack the Alliance's capital city, effectively ending the whole war.}}
* Admiral Bucock's [[What the Hell, Hero?]] speech after Truniht's surrender about how the Alliance deserves this defeat for betraying the ideals it was founded on.
** Luring one part of the Imperial fleet into an asteroid field, then slipping around behind the rest and making a pincer attack on them.
** Mar-Adetta, full stop.
* For the series' first half Frederica Greenhill appears to be nothing but a [[Faux Action Girl]]. But when Yang is arrested, she trades her housewife clothes for her military uniform and a gun, teams up with the Rosenritter, and finally breaks into the prison and shoots Yang's executioner in the head.
* Schenkopp is pretty much a walking CMOA, but particularly stands out during the mission to rescue Yang from prison. He escapes the police with some timely assistance from the rest of the Rosenritter, then kidnaps the Alliance Council Leader Lebello on the highway by blowing up his entire escort. He then demands that Yang be set free in exchange for Lebello's life...along with a hundred bottles of wine. All while leaking the conversation to all the Imperial forces so the government won't be able to cover it up. Finally, after the government proves willing to let Lebello die, he breaks into the prison in "half a nick of time" and gives one of his men a chance for his own CMOA, shouting the group's identity to the prison guards and making them run away instantly.
** In one of his first battles after taking command of the Rosenritter, He leads his troops into storming and taking over ship after ship, each time taking several minutes to ''sing'' challenges over every Imperial channel to a traitorous former commander he knows is somewhere in the enemy fleet.
** {{spoiler|After getting a fatal wound with an ax in the back, he doesn't retaliate against the man who did it and acknowledges that he was beaten. After killing two more people as the gaping wound gets worse, he then looks at the other Imperial soldiers still standing, and asks which of them wants the honor of being the last person he kills. They understandably all get out of his way, and he walks up the stairs just so he'll die looking down at something rather than up.}}
* Julian, Poplan, and Mashengo's escape from the Earth Cult base, particularly the beginning with Julian's flying kick to a guard and Poplan ruthlessly killing a doctor who refuses to give them any information.
Line 50:
** Him quelling a huge riot just by giving both sides a [[Death Glare]].
* Annerose gets one during the attack on the Imperial Phezzan residence when she throws a statue at a Terraist and whacks him in the face, then shields Hilda from the falling glass his resulting wild shot causes.
* Mecklinger's [["The Reason You Suck" Speech]] to Grillpalzer.
* '''{{spoiler|Reinhard}}''': "There is only one Reinhard von Lohengramm, and there is only one man whose name will be remembered for killing him. Who wants to be that man?"
* Paul von Oberstein managing to completely invert [[Honor Before Reason]] by simply pointing out that the so-called "honorable" path would cause millions of unnecessary deaths, while his more dishonorable tactic would save them. In the process, without breaking a sweat, he also verbally browbeats two of the Empire's greatest geniuses. [[And Zoidberg|And Bittenfeld.]]
