* I'm surprised ''[[Fairly English Story]]'' isn't here. Episode 72 is where it kicks into overdrive.
** Hell, he even faced {{spoiler|the Hermit Arcana when he turned into the Chou Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann!!}}
* ''[[Shinji and Warhammer 40 K (Fanfic)Warhammer40K|Shinji and Warhammer 40 K]]'' is perhaps the fanfiction king of this trope, with every single chapter containing at least one and every single character getting their own moments to shine. Shinji? Walking awesome factory. Rei? Never, ever cross her, ever. Asuka? Three words: {{spoiler|'''GIGA! DRILL! BREEEAAAKEEEERR!'''}} Kaworu? Everything that Shinji is, but on the opposing side. Misato, Ritsuko, Gendo? There's a reason they are still in charge after everything going FUBAR on a constant basis. Maya becomes a [[Amazon Brigade|Sister of Battle]]. Mana becomes a Commisar with her own personal Dreadnought. Hikari becomes an Inquisitor, with Stormtrooper Suzuhara as her retainer. There is even the original characters, including-but-not-limited-to a military genius that almost led China to world domination, and a [[Badass Normal|regular solider]] with collossal titanium balls that has survived a [[Zombie Apocalypse]] and being absorbed by an [[Eldritch Abomination]] and is far from finished. Pick a character, pick a chapter, pick a ''page'', and this trope is almost certainly there. Enjoy.
** For a specific example, Shinji gets one when he consecrates EVA-01 as his personal Titan.
{{quote|'''Shinji:''' "Cast in the shape of man! Made to fight humanity's enemies! You shall carry our will unto eternity! I NAME YOU!" ''He leaned over the railing.'' "EVANGELION! I NAME YOU; TITANICUS! ''PRINCIPIO ETERNUS!''"}}
Line 171:
{{quote|'''Graveyard Hag:''' "You have no power here."
'''Jack''': *draws revolver furiously* "Wanna bet? You wanna fight a man who can't die? Seriously? You may be a god, but let me tell you something; fighting me is the worst idea you could possibly have." }}
* In another Gregg Landsman Eva fic, ''[[Nobody Dies (Fanfic)|Nobody Dies]]'', Misato is given the one Crowning moment the series, and most fanfics, denied her in the seventeenth chapter against the Angel {{spoiler|ADAM}}.
{{quote|"My name is Misato Katsuragi," she says, "Lieutenant Colonel of NERV. Daughter of Shiro Katsuragi, the stupid son of a bitch who woke you up. I am the daughter of a murdered man and the only human being to look on you with their own eyes and live to tell about it. I am the right hand of retribution and the last human being you will ever see, you glow in the dark mother f___er. Now smile asshole. Because this, is my seventeen years of f[[Sound Effect Bleep|___]]ing ''payback!''"}}
** {{spoiler|Asuka}} gets the second half of chapter 24 and all of chapter 25 as a protracted CMOA. Having been thoroughly [[Break the Cutie|broken]] by parental neglect and emotional/mental abuse before the fic began, and spending much of the fic itself as a [[Shrinking Violet|stammering, timid]] [[The Woobie|wreck]] - [[It Makes Sense in Context]] - her rampage of awesome begins in a deliciously just fashion when she '''''chairshots''''' {{spoiler|Kyoko}}, the parent in question. And then she ''really'' gets started....
Line 240:
* Nigh everything written by [http://www.fanfiction.net/u/1308758/lord_of_the_land_of_fire lord of the land of fire]. While I can't endorse the sex scenes, he manages to make some very awesome scenes that readers often fail to fully appreciate the Awesomeness of. "A Few Angry Words" contains a paralel to [[The Bible|Revelation Chapter 19 (Yes, that's the Second Coming of Jesus)]], while "The True Monster" contains a rather thorough paralel to World War II! Just when you think this guy has written himself into a corner, he comes out with something even more awesome as a resolution.
* Edward Elric gets one in ''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2929916/1/Invert Invert]'', a ''[[Fullmetal Alchemist]]''/''[[Harry Potter]]'' crossover. Bound by magic and being mindraped by Voldemort, Ed breaks Voldemort's concentration by calling up an image of the Gate of Truth, causing it to manifest for a few moments before fading out. In the distraction, Ed breaks Voldemort's grip on him and ''kicks him in the balls'' for good measure.
* [[Harry Potter (Franchise)/Fanfic Recs|Sluagh]], the sequel to the above mentioned "Dumbledore's Army..." has more Crowning Moments of Awesome than the original Harry Potter series combined. Seamus Finnigan, in particular, has become a serious [[Anti-Hero]], as well as [[Took a Level In Badass|Taken A Level In Badass]] to a whole new degree. For anyone who was disappointed by the Big Bad of the original series being taken down with an Expelliarmus, {{spoiler|this time the - much nastier, IMHO - bad is taken out in a last-ditch wager where the fate of the world rests on a knife fight to the death. "You want to live, I just want you to die." Made of Win.}}
* An OC named Philip gets one in the W.I.T.C.H. Fanfic [http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3134487/5/WITCH_POWER_The_Dream_Comes_Real WITCH POWER] by Xen Kenshin when he completely DESTROYS {{spoiler|Nerissa's demonic minions Shagon and co.}} because of an unstoppable rage.. downside? He kills his love interest {{spoiler|Irma.}}
* In ''[[Daria]]'' fanfic, two OC's are living, breathing CMOAs every time they show their faces! ''Jim Vitale'' (especially when written by Scissors MacGillicutty) and ''Black Majesty'' (when written by Roentgen). The pinnacle of the [[Big Bad]], both are superb examples of the [[Manipulative Bastard]] who lives by [[The Plan]]- and while Black Majesty is probably [[Like a Badass Out of Hell]], Vitale is a fusion of [[Bunny Ears Lawyer]] and [[Badass Normal]] with his own [[Catch Phrase|CatchPhrases]] (anyone who he calls 'asshat' is in for a world of 'ow', people he calls 'sport' should watch their backs, and as he says, 'the law is just what lawyers do with it'), his own version of the [[Kubrick Stare]], a [[Compelling Voice]] and takes any woman in sight that he wants - because [[All Girls Want Bad Boys]], and he's a amped-up version of [[Draco in Leather Pants]].
Line 284:
** This troper thinks the moment that Shocker proves he really did invent his suit and gauntlets to Tony Stark was awesome. 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.
* ShadowDragon8685's series of ''[[Misfile]]'' fanfiction starts the process of [[Rescued From the Scrappy Heap|Rescuing Jenny the Second from the Scrappy Heap]] in [http://www.misfile.com/gallery/albums/userpics/10001/4_Concrete_Dreamscape_2_0.pdf Concrete Dreamscape], and by page 14 of [http://www.misfile.com/gallery/albums/userpics/10001/5_Electric_Dreams_2_0.pdf Electric Dreams], she has become just plain awesome, defusing another [[Alpha Bitch|superbitch]] by playing on the girl's latent homosexuality that she's [[Transparent Closet|trying to hide]]. (Note: Concrete Dreamscape and Electric Dreams are the fourth and fifth installments in the series. To read from the beginning, start [http://www.misfile.com/gallery/albums/userpics/10001/1_Rumisiel_s_Lament_2_0.pdf here.])
* This Troper found the end of "Chapter 23: For What Can Change" of ''[[Stray (Fanfic)|Stray]]'' really powerful, maybe her absolute favorite in any fanfic, because she was counting bullets and realized [[Set Right What Once Went Wrong|what Adamska was about to do]]. Amazing scene.
* In ''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2370566/1/ Elsewhen, and Elsewhere]'', a ''[[Warhammer 40000]]''/''[[Star Trek]]'' crossover, the ''Enterprise'' is captured by a group of Jem'Hadar. What the Jem'Hadar don't realize is that there's a couple squads of Space Marines on board. [[Hilarity Ensues]].
* [http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2600412/5/The_Hollow_Halloween This chapter] of this ''[[Fairly Oddparents]]'' fic, ''The Hollow Halloween'' by AmandaArtiste, presents one for Remy Buxaplenty, in which he shows us all that you simply should '''not''' try to brainwash Trixie Tang (and her friend) while he's around.
Line 396:
* From ''The Hokage's Will'' by Airhead dude, we have the long anticipated Naruto vs Sasuke match. {{spoiler|Naruto basically outclasses Sasuke in taijutsu-with Sasuke having no defense against Sage Mode Phantom Punches, so Sasuke amps up the ally by going fully incomplete Susano'o, thinking he has it won now. Know what Naruto does? Toss the Rasenshuriken into the Susano'o...and completely and utterly SHATTERS it like glass.}} So. Awesome.
* The ''[[Fruits Basket]]'' Western fic (That's right, you heard me!) ''[[The Swordsman and The Gunslinger]]'' is made of this, and gives each protagonist a CMOA. The first one is when Kyo Sohma, the titular swordsman, takes out three gunmen win thirty seconds, armed only with a ''katana''. This establishes him as the premier [[Badass]] of the fic.
* ''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5453047/1/Graveyard_Shift Graveyard Shift]'', a ''[[Mass Effect]]'' novelization being written by the same author behind ''[[Tiberium Wars (Fanfic)|Tiberium Wars]]'' and ''[[Forward]]'', has one for Wrex almost right off the bat, when a trio of assassins dressed up as C-Sec officers show up and try to "arrest" him. Wrex chats with them for a bit {{spoiler|before suddenly killing all three in the span of a couple of seconds with casual and insulting ease. Then he tells off the leader of the group, saying he's really disappointed with him for the "fake arrest routine."}}
* Latias from ''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2053520/5/Latias_Journey Latias' Journey]''. She's depicted mostly as a gentle, somewhat timid and fearful Pokémon. That changes ''big time'' in Chapter 5. {{spoiler|After watching a bunch of evil bird Pokémon butcher a bunch of baby Flying and Bug types in Wing Fortress, she goes completely apeshit. The end result: a bunch of enemy Flying types lying in pieces in nursery, followed by a Psychic attack so powerful that it could best be described as a [[Fantastic Nuke|psychic nuke]]. ''That'' is followed up with an even more ''obscenely'' powerful Fire (or Dragon) attack that completely ''obliterates'' Wing Fortress and a large piece of the surrounding forest.}} It is ''[[Nightmare Fuel|utterly terrifying]]'' but at the same time [[Crowning Moment of Awesome|awesome]].
* Michael, [[Action Survivor]] main character for ''[[ToyHammer]]'', gets an extended one for not only being able to - through diplomacy, threats and friendship (also, [[Incredibly Lame Pun|impressing]] [[Running Gag|the commanders]] with his [[Improbable Weapon User|fire extinguisher]] - he manages to get the Human, Eldar, Tau and even ''Ork'' forces of ''[[Warhammer 40000]]'' to not only stop fighting, but to co-exist (more or less) and even - when the need arose - to ''fight as one'', we have to give him a [[Crowning Moment of Awesome]]... or a [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming]].
Line 466:
** {{spoiler|Of course, all of that was to free them and the Book of Darkness from Angra Mainyu's corruption, upon which he willfully surrenders his Linker Core to help save Hayate's life. Even if you don't like him, you have to admit he always has style.}}
* A series of novelisations of the ''[[Half-Life]]'' games, ''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3147068/1/The_Black_Mesa_Incident The Black Mesa Incident]'' and ''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4389329/1/Welcome_to_City_17 Welcome to City 17]'', are full to the brim with this trope, mostly by virtue of [[Badass Bookworm|Gordon Freeman]] being [[One-Man Army|Gordon Freeman]]. Even by his standards there are plenty of exceptional moments, including Gordon destroying a Gunship by dropping a piece of a bridge on it, destroying another Gunship by directing it into a Strider's warp cannon, then destroying that same Strider by ''riding on top of it and jamming a grenade into it'', and killing the Nihilanth using nothing but his trusty crowbar, driving it straight into its brain.
* In the ''[[Touhou]]'' fanfiction [[Imperfect Metamorphosis (Fanfic)|Imperfect Metamorphosis]], an indestructible being that can absorb any form of attack thrown at it, soon acquiring the abilities of another being that [[Walking Wasteland|kills most things just by being near them]] and whose touch is potentially deadly to absolutely anyone, is loose in Gensoukyou. It swiftly dispatches its millenia-old creator, a [[Reality Warper]], two stupidly powerful magicians and a bearer of impervious [[Plot Armor]], leaving only Suika to fight it. After her treasured gourd is crushed in the battle, Suika acts [[Boisterous Bruiser|exactly like Suika]], proceeding to ''pound the ever-loving crap'' out of the life-ending monstrosity, leaving it (temporarily) broken and unconscious in a crater. Moral of the story: never force an oni to be sober.
* Thirty H's. All of it.
* When the Silent Ones, the lords of [[Troper Works/Ultimate Sleepwalker|Sleepwalker]]'s race, are ready to execute him for his crimes, Sleepy's human host Rick Sheridan intervenes and refuses to let it happen:
