** In order to provide some context and clarification as to exactly ''how'' awesome this story is, the very first Crowning Moment of Awesome, the one that all successive Awesome Moments exceed by increasing magnitudes, is when eight-year-old Shinji has his Warboss figurine stolen by three larger boys, and he proceeds to attempt to ''beat the living crap out of them'', and ''wins'', despite being nothing but a big bruise by the end of it. The boys are so impressed by his sheer balls that from then on they refer to him only as "Da' Boss".

Just prior to this, she claims the alien's will bring others if they live, Jack just laughs at her and shoots down her argument in 2 seconds flat.

*** Its very ''existence'' is a Crowning Moment for the author, who began writing in April 2008. Yes, that's right, Thanfiction wrote over half a million words in just under eight months. That's the equivalent of the Harry Potter series up to the halfway point of Half-blood Prince. If he finishes the proposed last book of the trilogy at his previous pace, he will, with three novels and various oneshots, have equaled ''and surpassed'' JK Rowling's length in one-tenth the time.

** What makes that moment even more awesome is that he actually doesn't {{spoiler|use the Kyuubi chakra, he just brute forces it open with his own chakra, a skill learned practicing with Hinata. Compared to the fact that he DOES call on Kyuubi in canon}} makes that even more awesome.
** Another moment: Naruto vs Sasuke. {{spoiler|One punch, right in the jaw.}}
*** Here's an extension of the aforememntioned spoiler, just to put into perspective just how awesome that moment was:

{{spoiler|As for Sasuke, he was flying backwards, landing in a boneless heap three and a half meters behind his starting position. There was a large lump already forming on the side of his jaw as he bounced once before sliding to a halt.

{{spoiler|Gekkou Hayate stared at the clearly unconscious boy as the one who struck him turned and began marching toward the exit. Clearing his throat, he announced, "Winner, Uzumaki Naruto."}} }}
** Don't forget Haku. {{spoiler|Breaks through the Sound Four's barrier and goes on to fight Orochimaru alongside the Hokage, easily keeping up with them.}}
** Hinata's reaction to finding out just how horribly Naruto was mistreated by some for being the host of the nine-tailed fox.

** Arguably, Shino's best CMOA in the entire series is during the preliminaries of the Chunin Exams, immediately following Hinata's harsh beat-down at the hands of Neji.

"What variety of flowers would be appropriate?" he asked in the calmest, most matter-of-fact tone of voice he could muster.
"What?" Tenten asked, rubbing a bruise on the side of her head that she'd sustained in her loss to Temari. To their credit, both of them appeared upset with the outcome of the last match, but Shino still had a point to make.
"For your team mate's funeral," he clarified.
Lee paled. }}
*** My favorite Shino moment, after a great deal of cold anger at the village for the way they've treated Naruto: Kurenai casually mentions the Kyuubi in front of Naruto's entire team and the Hokage, who gets very angry before he realizes that Naruto's team knows Naruto's secret.

Normally, this would be impressive though not quite a Crowning Moment of Awesome. What kicks it over the top? The USAF has upgraded Unit-04's Dummy Plug and can remotely pilot the Eva themselves, meaning that, unlike the Angels who just blast things at random, Unit-04 is ''smart''. Worse, it's armed with a jet pack, an S2 engine, a laser rifle, and stealth armor -- all of which it just used to destroy three military bases in France, steal eight other Evas for the US, and take on the UN. The situation looks so bad, even Misato thinks they're all probably screwed. After all, how can you fight an intelligent enemy that's just going to circle around above, taking out your support network (because it knows everything about you from spies in NERV), and you can't even paint it on radar? Rei's answer? {{spoiler|Link with the Dummy Plug clone's mind to locate its position and then use her positron rifle to destroy its jet pack -- without even bothering to turn on her targeting computer.

* From chapter 13 of the ''[[Neon Genesis Evangelion]]'' fanfic [http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4574288/1/Altered_Destinies Altered Destinies], where Shinji forces Gendo to de-activate the Dummy Plug before it kills the pilot of Unit Three {{spoiler|who in this AU is a de-aged Misato}} ''by arming Unit One's self-destruct system and threatening to nuke himself if Gendo doesn't back down''.

What if Sirius and Remus obeyed Dumbledore's injunction to let Harry grow up in the protection of the Dursley household--until they could stand it no longer, when Harry was eight years old? " CMoA? In the SECOND CHAPTER, when Remus and Sirius take Harry away from the Dursley's. They both tell them off. This Troper stopped and burst into giggles.

Shocker, with a little help from some friends he's picked up and a tricked-out hideout, survives. That may not seem like much, except when you recall he was being hunted by a FEW HUNDRED SUPERVILLAINS AND MERCENARIES. AT ONCE.

Stark and Reed Richards spent pretty much the entirety of their appearance up to then convinced that Shocker couldn't possibly have really invented the suit and gauntlets, that he MUST have stolen them from someone smarter. The moment that Stark realises that Shocker did actually invent them, and Shocker replies with a smug smile "That's right" was just great to see.

It was certainly a first for him.'' }}
* Eyes of the Broken Soul, a story that has so far extended Naruto's Academy life to about 37+ chapters, while still remaining awesome, a CMOA for the author by default.

Specifically, the last few chapters of Part 2.

** To start, the event that kicks off Shocker's face turn, when he and the Rhino save a group of three people from a besieged 7-11 AND manage to escape from Hawkeye, who thought they were taking hostages. And the whole thing is caught on tape, uploaded to [[YouTube]] to get around a media blackout orchestrated by Norman Osborn. Later in the story, Shocker finds out that his and Rhino's video inspired other villains to do the same thing, forgoing attempts to take advantage of the chaos and working to save civilians.
*** See Chapter 21, "One Shots," for examples of Doctor Octopus, the Wizard, Deadpool, and many more doing just this.

* The [[Neon Genesis Evangelion]] fic ''Father'' has one in Chapter 5, when Asuka's [[Abusive Parents|father]] Erik (and his wife "Mrs. Soryu") visit after hearing rumors (true ones) that Asuka has gotten pregnant. Long story short, things devolve quickly, leading to Mr. Soryu [[Moral Event Horizon|shoving his pregnant daughter with such force that it slams her into a nearby wall hard enough to knock her unconscious]]. Before anyone else knows what's happening, [[Berserk Button|Shin]][[Papa Wolf|ji]] (Asuka's fiancé) has one-hit-KO'd Mrs. Soryu (being grazed by a bullet fired by her) and pinned Mr. Demon-Dad to the wall by the throat, having fully given himself over to the [[Unstoppable Rage|inner berserker]] and trying to crush the man's neck with his bare hands. Later, as Mr. Soryu storms up to Gendo in his office and threatens all sorts of retaliations, Gendo calmly and efficiently shoots down each and every one of the man's threats with logical and legal rebuttals. And when the man disowns Asuka and states that he'll leave her penniless and alone, Gendo reveals that Kyoko had left Asuka her entire estate and (considerably large) fortune to Asuka, ''and'' that SEELE (in this story now a new incarnation loyal to Gendo) have discovered that Mr. Soryu has embezzled/stolen his late wife's - now Asuka's - money, and that Mr. Soryu and his wife are now under arrest. Gendo then closes the conversation and finally [[Not So Stoic|blows his top at the man]]:

* The Evangelion/DBZ crossover fic [[
* Few fanfics mimic their source material as perfectly as [https://web.archive.org/web/20110926235236/http://www.rdrop.com/~/wyvern/data/houseplants.html Houseplants of Gor], a parody of John Norman's ''[[Gor]]'' series. It's simultaneously a CMOA and a CMOF.
* These two stories, [http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3293585/1/Harry_Potter_and_the_Unexpected_Visitor Harry Potter and the Unexpected Visitor] and [http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3664961/1/Prodigy Prodigy] (yep, he is a big fan of the Harry Potter Canon couples). The author, despite not being a native, can nonetheless write with better grammar than many English and American people in Fanfiction.net, and has managed to write two scenes which are quite good [[Crowning Moment of Awesome]] in my opinion:
** In The Unexpected Visitor, chapter 25, Dementors and Death Eaters attack Hogsmeade while the students are there. Harry Potter takes charge of the situation while the Order of the Phoenix and the Ministry Aurors arrive, and he contributes quite a lot to the defence of the town. However, the CMoA comes when, after realising that there are very few Patroni (plural of Patronus) still around and several hundreds of Dementors, he [[It Makes Sense in Context|makes up a charm on the spot]] that absorbs the still living Patroni and transforms them into creatures of fire of different colours that utterly destroy the Dementors, freeing all the souls they have Kissed.
** In Prodigy, chapter 11, Quirrell decides, instead of freeing the troll on the dungeons, to send it directly into the Great Hall to cause as much harm as possible as well as distracting Dumbledore. The troll arrives just when Harry and his friends (Ron, Hermione and Neville) are getting out of the Great Hall, thus encountering him right on the door (this scene is told from Harry, Albus Dumbledore, Sirius Black and Molly Weasley). Just when the troll is going to smash them with its club, Harry, on instinct, manages to cast a magical shield that not only stops the club, but utterly destroys it into tiny pieces, and then gets his friends to scatter. Then, the troll charges Hermione, but Ron manages to push her to a side just in time for the troll to go head on the wall, although Ron breaks his leg in the process. Neville uses a [[Exactly What It Says

** For exapmle; in Chapter eleven Victor Von Doom is covered in third degree. And when the Hulk attacks him, what does he do? Why, he taunts him about how pathetic he is while holding his own against him! Of course, Hulk eventually manages to punch him across the country. Eventually. And that's just one of the CMOAs in that chapter.
* In [http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5706942/5/MWDC_Harry_Potter_and_the_Guardians_Light Harry Potter and the Guardian's Light], a troll is attacking Hermione, and what does Harry do? He climbs onto its back and cuffs it in the ear. And the troll feels it! Better, it's implied that Harry learned to hit from his abusive uncle!

He finds the MRX402A ULATRV, codename Epona, and proceeds to avoid two road blocks (blowing up one and avoiding the other by getting up on the curb and turning into an alley), outrun or lose a total of Humvees, outrun the crumbling of a highway cause by one of two attack helicopters shooting out the support with a missile, trick one attack helicopter into crashing into a building, ''drive up a breaking tree to get on the upper level of a highway'', fend off two gunsword wielders ''also'' on motorcycles, jump off one end of a drawbridge to land on the other, dodge a missile of the remaining helicopter whose blast cloud destroys said helicopter, and outrun a fricken' ''' ''spider mecha'' '''.
* ''[[Kyon: Big Damn Hero]]'' has Kyon vs [[Yakuza]], numerous times. All of them count: one was a [[Big Damn Heroes]] moment, another was with Nagato and they beat ''24'' Yakuza, and the third is another [[Big Damn Heroes]] moment [[Time Travel|that hasn't happened yet.]] It's Kyon on his own against 12 [[Yakuza]].
** It finally happened, and it was even more awesome than the fight with 24 [[Yakuza]].
** Then there was what he did to intimidate Mori... [[Dynamic Entry]] involving jumping from thirty feet up unharmed, handing an eavesdropper to the Organisation, and blackmailing her. With no prior planning.
* In a [[Massive Multiplayer Crossover]], when worlds collide, where anime characters fight the super heroes and villains of the DCU In the final battle in Gotham city, which is split halfway with Konoha, due to the worlds merging, Black Adam fights all of the Z-fighters, and wins easily. He even rips Tien's arm off.
** Earlier on, Black Adam fights every member of CP9 and slaughters them with ease.
** In the same fic, When grimmjow blows up part of a building to distract Superman, who has to hold it up, he continues to wail on Supes, proclaiming he's helpless. Then superman tells him he doesn't need just his fist, and blast him away with his heat vision.
