Line 15: {{quote\|Rosa: Maria! Maria: Uu-! Here, Mama! (a second Winchester is tossed to Rosa) }} ** Cue Rosa [[Dual-Wielding]] * Beatrice's first entrance in the anime. If there were any scenes in the anime that did the Visual Novel justice... Basically, Battler announces that if the others want to prove Beatrice's existence, they'll just have to bring her here. Guess who appears ''right behind Battler'' only seconds after his announcement? * Episode 3...pretty much all of it, actually. But to list just a few: Line 29: ** And even when {{spoiler\|it looked like George ''was'' about to make one of the three choices on which life to sacrifice--his own, his lover's, or everyone else's--instead of going for the obvious and making the [[Heroic Sacrifice]] choice Jessica made, he simply chooses for everyone else to die.}} To this troper, watching {{spoiler\|George beat down the barrier for the choices a hero usually makes in favour of a choice that wouldn't be traditionally heroic}} was just...amazing. Of course, it also makes the following moment even more awesome: {{quote\|{{spoiler\|George: I'll start with you. Any questions?}}}} * In episode 4, after seeing Kinzo spend the first few games [[Large Ham\|screaming Beatrice's name at the sky and begging for her to return,]] he finally [[Took a Level Inin Badass\|takes a level in badass:]] {{spoiler\|He not only summons the Siestas, he also summons two of Beatrice's most powerful furniture, ''and'' her mentor. At the same time.}} There's a ''reason'' he gained something of a fanbase in America after the anime aired that particular episode. * Maria getting [[Rescued ~~From~~from the Scrappy Heap]] in Episode 4 goes [[Beyond the Impossible]]: The scene where {{spoiler\|she [[Calling the Old Man Out\|calls her mother out on her mistreatment of her]] and then repeatedly kills her in true When They Cry fashion}} manages to be this, horrifying, '''and''' a [[Tear Jerker]] at the same time. That alone makes it awesome. * The ending of Episode 4 where {{spoiler\|Battler denies Beatrice with the blue truth}} qualifies...but when read in the proper context, it becomes a [[Tear Jerker]]. * In Episode 5, Erika is about to trap Kinzo in a closed room in his study on the third floor. Battler smashes that closed room by proposing that Kinzo could've escaped by diving out the window... and then proves it by doing so himself. [[Crazy Awesome]]: it's [[In the Blood]]. Line 79: Battler's [[The Coats Are Off]] moment against {{spoiler\|Erika}} And of course, the aforementioned {{spoiler\|Will headbutting a goat to death.}} ** Rosa almost-killing {{spoiler\|Erika}} four times at once (including shoving a gun straight down her throat and firing and punching a pen through her eye socket) after she yells to Maria that Rosa never loved her. {{spoiler\|Erika}} manages to survive, just, only for Dlanor to declare that her [[This Is Unforgivable!\|actions are unforgivable]] and issue a [[No-Holds-Barred Beatdown]] that forces {{spoiler\|her old friend}} to flee the battle. * Earlier on, {{spoiler\|Erika's [[Villainous Rescue]] moment}}, saving Ange from a horde of goats. * And let us not forget the group that made it possible for us to read this series, Witch Hunt. Their work has been nothing short of amazing and with no payment, hundreds of fans constantly wondering when the next translation will be up they have now finished the series. You guys are nothing short of amazing and well deserve the praise R7 gave you. * Natsuhi's [[Mama Bear]] moment for Jessica by taking a stand against {{spoiler\|Beatrice}} in Episode 6. {{spoiler\|It fails miserably, resulting in her death}}, but given her [[Chew Toy]] status, you have to give her props for having the courage to do ''that'' for her daughter's sake. * From ''[[Umineko no Naku Koro ni]]'' examples, pretty much EVERYTHING Battler does when Dread of the Grave starts playing. In Episode 2, {{spoiler\|Kanon's swordfight (even if he loses), and Rosa's final defense of Maria, in which she starts threatening ''demons''.}} {{quote\|{{spoiler\|'''Rosa'''}}: Just try laying one finger on {{spoiler\|Maria}} in front of me. I'll show you just how lukewarm the hell you came from is." }} Episode 3. Where do I begin? {{spoiler\|The fight between Beato and Virgilia, Eva solving the epitaph [[The Un-Reveal\|(Even if we're never told the actual answer)]], the whole thing about Beato turning over a new leaf being an ingenious ruse}} - but still, the undeniable winner in terms of awesome has to be {{spoiler\|Kyrie and Rudolf each defeating one of the Seven Stakes of Purgatory ''singlehandedly'', a feat even Kanon couldn't manage.}} To expand on that last point further, {{spoiler\|Kyrie}} is undoubtedly the most awesome, simply for some of the incredible lines she pulls during the fight. {{quote\|{{spoiler\|'''Leviathan'''}}: C-can you pull it? That trigger!! {{spoiler\|'''Kyrie'''}}: You know, I can be pretty brutal when my husband isn't around. }} Not to mention her final putdown to {{spoiler\|Leviathan and her power of envy:}} {{quote\|{{spoiler\|'''Kyrie'''}}: You say you were jealous of your sisters for seven days and seven nights? {{spoiler\|'''Leviathan'''}}: Th...That's right... {{spoiler\|'''Kyrie'''}}: ...Don't make me laugh, girl. How could you understand the madness of a woman whose man was stolen from her, and who has burned with envy for ''18 years...!'' }} This awesome scene only makes it more irritating that {{spoiler\|Rudolf and Kyrie are killed only minutes after by the Siesta Sisters, in a glaring example of [[The Worf Effect]].}} Ange's {{spoiler\|[[Heroic Sacrifice]]}} also counts. Imagine {{spoiler\|trying not to cry and not to let your brother see you as you're being ripped apart}}, and at the same time, trying to give a [[Rousing Speech]] to get said brother up off the ground after {{spoiler\|he's been convinced that he's not who he thought he was}}. {{quote\|Ange : ... I'll be letting go now... [[Dramatic Irony\|It's been painful, right]]... I've hugged you so tight... I'm sorry... I'm okay... Don't turn around... Just let me see... {{spoiler\|for the last time}}... your most dashing moment... Stand up... [[Giving Someone the Pointer Finger\|Point your finger]] at the witch in front of you... and declare the restart of the game...}} Near the end of Episode 4, when {{spoiler\|Battler denies Beatrice using the blue truth. Made even more awesome with the shotgun like effects and [[Crowning Music of Awesome\|dreamenddischarger]] playing in the background. }} * {{spoiler\|When that scene is read in the proper context, it is a [[Tear Jerker]] }} In Episode 4, {{spoiler\|George's fight with Gaap. "You didn't seriously think you could take my parents, Natsuhi oba-san, Rudolf oji-san, Rosa oba-san, and Genji-san's lives and hope I'd overlook it, right?"}} * Episode 5 goes [[Beyond the Impossible]] during the hidden tea party, where {{spoiler\|[[The Determinator\|Battler]] squares off against [[Mary Sue\|Erika]], [[Minored in Asskicking\|the Eiserne Jungefrauen]], [[Man Behind the Man\|Lambdadelta]] and [[Fallen Hero\|Bernkastel]] at the same time}}. Then, just when things look hopeless for him, {{spoiler\|he is shielded by none other than [[Fan Nickname\|Bronove]], who [[Rivals Team Up\|steps in to lend his aid along with Virgillia, Gaap, and even the Seven Sisters of Purgatory.]]}} And when not even that's enough to stop them, Battler {{spoiler\|discovers the [[Game Breaker\|uncounterable gold truth only a]] [[Game Master]] [[Game Breaker\|can use]].}} ** Actually, it should be pointed out that {{spoiler\|When Ronove, Virgilia, Gaap, and the Seven Sisters come to help him, he doesn't actually need their help. That's because by the time they appear, he's already reached the truth of the game so he would have pretty much won anyway.}} "Sorry, but, even is you join us, {{spoiler\|there are 17 people."}} {{worksubpagefooter}} ~~{{reflist}}~~ [[Category:Video Games/Awesome]] ~~[[Category:Umineko no Naku Koro ni]]~~ ~~[[Category:Awesome]]~~ [[Category:Awesome (anime)]]
