Valkyria Chronicles/Awesome

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Welkin drove his tank through the stinkin' RIVER to the enemy camp on the other side. The fact that he learned the appropriate spot where the water is the shallowest "by observing some weeds in the river" gives it a bonus multiplier.
  • The first launch of the Edelweiss. Many a fist was pumped into the air.
  • And Welkin again, in the ending. With the Marmota in flames and no way out for him and Alicia, and his troopers refuse to leave them and get to safety. His response?

"You're going to leave now. That's an order!"

  • Alicia vs. Selvaria, anyone?
  • Rosie singing at Isara's funeral. It doubles as a Tear Jerker, and fully redeems Rosie's character.
  • Alicia punching a hole in the Marmota's armor by throwing her Valkyrian lance while screaming, "I never wanted this!" It makes Welkin's Cooldown Hug and proposal of marriage all the more poignant.
  • Squad 7 defeating Maximilian gone One-Winged Angel qualifies as well.
  • In Selvaria's DLC; Johann running out into the battlefield under heavy fire to save Selvaria when she's been incapacitated by poison gas, in spite of his fears of being on the front lines. This action gets him promoted to an ace, and he becomes Oswald the Iron.
  • Edy in her DLC, first her decision to help defend the town, despite being outnumbered, and then later running from one side of the map to the other, through enemy lines, in order to save her "rival", Rosie, who's been injured.
    • In the same DLC, Homer actually pulls a subverted Cooldown Hug on her by slapping her in the face when she has one of her famous panic attacks] when she learns that Rosie's in a bad way. How does Edy repay him? Slugging him in the chin, and then thanking him. Absolute genius.
  • Selvaria dedtroying Ghirlandaio using the Valkyria's flame, blowing herself up along with a whole f-ing city and a good chunk of Gallia's main army in the process. It doubles as a Tear Jerker, and triples as a Dying Moment of Awesome.
  • Squad 7 retaking Bruhl, Welkin's hometown. Also a Crowning Moment of Heartwarming and Tear Jerker, as they did it in Isara's memory. There were more important battles in the game, but none was more personal.
  • Come on! What about in the battle against Maximilian's BF Tank in chapter 7? Special credit to the snipers, who are capable of wiping out all of the starting foot soldiers on the first turn, as well the fact that they could wipe out Silvera's squad in a single turn as well(not including her of coarse.)
