Xenoblade Chronicles/Awesome
- Fiora shows how awesome she can really be during the Mechon attack to Colony 9. Just when Shulk, Dunban and Reyn are about to get killed by Metal Face, Fiora appears out of nowhere driving a FREAKING TANK. Then she starts to fight alone Metal Face. Then she shoots him. With the main cannon. In his face. At point-blank range. And she seemed such a sweet and nice girl... Too bad it doesn't finish very well for Fiora.
- Dunban during the Mechon Attack on Colony 9 before his body couldn't handle the Monado
- The party's encounter with Metal Face in Colony 6 has a big one for Shulk. Mumkhar is going on and on about how easily he killed Fiora, rubbing it in the party's faces. Cue the only instance of Unfinished Battle in the game as Shulk runs in to shut him up. He even lands a few scratches on Metal Face without the Monado upgrade, just because he's that pissed off.

Shulk: Talk all you want, because those words WILL BE YOUR LAST! |

- The Wham! Episode in Prison Island. Shulk prepares to deliver the Finishing Move to Metal Face, when the Silver Faced Mechon tries to stop him. It receives the blow instead, which opens its chest area wide open. Then everyone sees something that was inside of it... What seems to be a female homs, but with a mechanical body. But it doesn't stop there. The homs takes off the mask that was covering her face. We see Shulk's reaction. He's in shock: The homs piloting the Silver Faced Mechon is no other that Fiora! The party (and the player) just can't belive it. And Awesomeness ensues.
- Melia proves once and for all that she's not the chick in the fight against Metal Face on the ice shelf. Mumkhar has the Monado and is waving it round like a new toy, he's remotely controlling Metal Face to tear out Fiora's throat if anyone moves, and the party is more or less frozen by indecision. Cue Melia, who steps forward and unleashes her ultimate attack with no hesitation whatsoever. It knocks the Monado out of Mumkhar's hand, sends him sprawling and takes out Metal Face in a single blow, leaving everyone free to kick Mumkhar's ass (which is itself pretty awesome).
- Though this could have been an instance of subconcious Murder the Hypotenuse; She disregarded the safety of the girl she knew her crush liked, which would mean the girl might end up out of the picture, and in doing so helped the party. Two birds with one stone.
- Unlikely. Melia isn't quite as much of a Messiah as Shulk, but dammit, she's trying.

- Otharon blasting Xord into the ether river with a point-blank shot to the head. And immediately after that, Reyn pulling off an epic save and changing Shulk's vision when he prevents Otharon from dying.
- Near the end of the game, Shulk suddenly regaining his senses and racing to the rescue, leaping onto a Telethia and cutting it in half.
