Line 16:
'''X''': I'm going to finish this! Right here! ''Right now! '''I WILL DEFEAT YOU, SIGMA!''''' }}
** What's even better is that this makes X's character arc, started from the ''Day of Sigma'' OVA, complete. Everyone's been telling him that he can't hesitate to pull the trigger when there's a threat that needs to be dealt with, but X has been grappling with indecisiveness and his own innate desire for peace. It's not until he loses his friend that he realizes what his hesitancy has cost, and that he absolutely needs to stop Sigma. The fact that he ''wants'' to is just icing on the cake.
* I think it's pretty [[Badass]] how in X3, X has grown powerful enough to nonchalantly blow apart Vile's new, improved Ride Armor and then blow up Vile himself, specially after the latter's "[[Death Trap|Hahaha, I have caught you in my trap, you can't escape!]]" speech.
* In ''X2''... Sigma confronts X at the final stage with a black Zero, only for it to be easily destroyed by the real Zero, {{spoiler|just [[Back
{{quote|'''Zero:''' Sigma, you should have studied the blueprints closer. [[Badass Boast|There is only one Zero!]]}}
* The cutscene after the [[Final Battle]] in ''X5'': X and Zero, {{spoiler|the latter dying and half his body destroyed,}} were impaled by a decapitated Sigma's [[Breath Weapon|Mouth Beam]]. Zero proceeds to destroy Sigma with one {{spoiler|last}} [[Arm Cannon|Z-buster]] shot. What makes the moment awesome? The spoiler tags tell it all.
Line 23:
** Made more awesome by the fact that Sigma was supposed to be [[Killed Off for Real]] at this point before [[Executive Meddling|the meddling Capcom executives]] stepped in.
*** Except he WAS killed off for good. If Gate had not intervened, he would not have returned.
* In the eighth game, the final boss is giving a "We're [[Not So Different]]" speech, which has X and [[Ensemble Darkhorse|Zero]] gritting their teeth as they realize he might be right... until Axl says "screw it" and opens fire, telling him to buzz off, quickly snapping both X and Zero out of the brief [[Heroic BSOD]]. [[Mr Death|This editor]] actually cheered at the scene. It still doesn't [[Rescued
** Axl has another one, believe it or not, in the ending of ''X7''. Sigma, barely standing after being defeated, punches Axl through a wall, incapacitating the latter. Before X or Zero could move, [[Disc One Final Boss|Red]] appears and attacks them. Sigma, seeing his chance, attempts to possess Red when the latter came closer to him. However, Red, who was actually Axl in disguise, shoots him at point-blank range ''while his back was turned'', and the single shot was enough to blast Sigma through a wall himself, and send him plummeting to the ground.
* X's [[Badass Boast]] at the end of ''X6'', in which he claims that he has better things to do than fight Sigma over and over, but if he returns X ''will'' defeat him for good. Of course, then he goes and starts whining in the next game and we get Axl, so yeah.
* Throughout the ''Day of Sigma'' OVA, X is reluctant to use violence when fellow Reploids are at risk. But after being forced to watch Sigma attack Zero and launch missiles on their own city, he [[Beware the Nice Ones|snaps]], [[Screaming Warrior|screams with righteous fury]], and claws at Sigma's eyes with a [[G Gundam|Shining]] [[Shout-Out|Finger]], permanently scarring him. And this is ''after he was impaled on Sigma's sword''.
