Line 35:
* An anime only moment for Yugi and Joey: The finals of the Duelist Kingdom tournament.
* Yugi's best move in the last duel was when he used a spell card to seal away Monster Reborn, despite knowing how useful it was to him. It paid off fairly soon afterward, when Yami tried to summon Osiris, but the card prevented him from reviving Osiris and left him defenseless against the powered-up Silent Magician. Not only did Yugi predict what Yami would do (probably based on his using a spell card to fill their hands), but he also made a clear point that the dead cannot remain in the world of the living; as Ishizu put it, "Yugi's trump card was also his way of saying goodbye...
* Am I the only one who thinks that Yugi [["The Reason You Suck" Speech|verbally bitchslapping]] Malik through a [[Brainwashed and Crazy]] Jounouchi in episode 78 qualifies as this? More impressive yet was that afterwards he stopped Jounouchi's final attack in mid fire, reassured Jounouchi that [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming|it was all okay - they were never ''really'' fighting with one another]] and that the duel was over, {{spoiler|and then let the 1500 point attack loose on himself ''anyway'', so that he'll lose the death match, and Jounouchi can live.}}
** This leads into a CMOA for Jounouchi, as he orders Yugi's monster to attack him in response [[Together in Death|giving the impression that he intends to die with Yugi]] except that then... well, see Jounouchi's CMOA below.
* Let's face it, the very first time Yugi transformed in the anime was just plain ''wow.'' This also doubles as a CMoA for 4Kids, because let's be honest: For all the crap they catch, rightfully or otherwise, this is one thing where they actually ''trumped'' the original. [http://www.youtube.com/watch#!v=yIN16YRfMFE See for yourself].
Line 70:
* ''And'' in the dub version of his summoning of Chaos Emperor Dragon, which started the whole thing, includes this exchange:
{{quote| '''Siegfried:''' You need to give up 1,000 of your Life Points first, and you can't afford that now!<br />
'''Kaiba:''' [[Screw the Rules, I Have Money|There's nothing I can't afford!]] }}
** The dub also caps the ''end'' of the duel off nicely.
{{quote| '''Siegfried:''' This isn't over, Kaiba!<br />
Line 94:
== Katsuya Jounouchi/ Joey Wheeler ==
* His duel against Bandit Keith in the semi-finals of the Duelist Kingdom. It makes the duel against Yugi added into the anime a Wall Banger, as Jou himself says in the manga that he feels "he's reached his peak" with the duel against Keith and that he shouldn't attempt to top that awesomeness right now.
* In another case of [[Cheaters Never Prosper]], his duel against Haga/Weevil. The look on Weevil's face as he lost the duel and his place in the tournament with it? Priceless. Especially since Jou used Weevil's own [[Yu-Gi-Oh!:
* What about his battle with Malik/ Marik in the semifinals of Battle City? He would've won too if he had just a few more seconds to [[Calling Your Attacks|call out his monster's attack]] before passing out of complete exhaustion. Hell, even Seto Kaiba had to reevaluate his opinion of him - and Kaiba despises Joey Wheeler!
* And then there's the aftermath of Battle City, where he picks a fight/duel with Seto Kaiba after he insults poor Mokuba during his [[Freak Out]] after losing to Yugi. He still loses, but the utter brass balls he displayed when doing so is worth noting. The best part? He uses a combo to ''summon a Blue Eyes to his side of the field!'' Kaiba pretty much SNAPS at that point, as he damn well should.
Line 111:
* Defeating Espa Roba by making Jinzo attack one of the duelists at random, basically leaving the game up to a coin flip, took titanic balls.
* I think the Joey Vs Odion duel contained some CMOA for Joey - from managing to summon all of the rare monsters he had won over the course of the tournament so far, to being the first person to work out that Odion wasn't really Marik, to managing to drag himself back to his feet after being blasted from above by Ra, Joey was pretty awesome in that duel.
* Becoming the first person to survive Siegfried's Ride of the Valkyries [[One
== Shizuka Kawai/ Serenity Wheeler ==
Line 120:
== Anzu Mazaki/ Tea Gardner ==
* Anzu is a non-Duelist and the [[The Scrappy|most hated character in the series]] ([[Die for Our Ship|due to shipping reasons]]), but [[Plucky Girl|her sheer determination]] to duel against the much more experienced Mai so she can get the star chips for Yugi no matter what takes huge balls, er, boobs.
* In this Troper's opinion, Anzu's tendency for [[What the Hell, Hero?|telling off]] people more powerful than she is-- including several who could do her serious harm, if not outright kill her-- makes for a several CMOAs.
* In the manga, [[The Strategist|it's her directions]] that get the group through Kaiba's falling blocks of death. An ability she learned from ''dance classes''.
* This Troper was actually impressed with her dueling skills during the Noah Arc, this was the most serious duel she ever went through in the anime because she would have lost her body to Krump if she had failed. Good scene, good duel.
Line 132:
* Honda also has some nice CMOA's in the anime , such as when he takes on three Ghouls, who were technically only after Shizuka, all by himself while the others escaped. {{spoiler|He wins.}}
* There was also the time he jumped from the top of the castle to distract the monster that was chasing Shizuka in the Virtual World arc.
* Death T, where he beats two trained soldiers (A former ''sniper and assassin''!) in a shoot-out, getting off a nice [[Bond One
** In the same arc, he pulls a [[Heroic Sacrifice]] in order to get Yugi and the rest of out of a trap. Then after Kaiba's defeat, just as the guards were about to hurt Jounouchi and Anzu, guess who [[Big Damn Heroes|comes in and beats the ever living crap out of the guards]]?
* When he tosses Mokuba's body at Yami Bakura to distract him, then closes the gap and punches him out. Then he chucks the Millenium Ring into the woods.
Line 175:
* Arkana/Pandora using actual magician's tricks to make sure that he had his Dark magician on the first hand.
* While the final battle against Zork has several, special mention has to go to Shimon (the ancient egyptian counterpart to Yugi's Grandfather) summoning fricken' EXODIA to battle Zork.
* Bakura Ryou gets one every time he manages to one-up his [[Super
* Rafael at the end of his second Duel with the Pharoah. His [[Added Alliterative Appeal|big bad boss]] monster, Guardian Deathscythe, has been destroyed. But he's still in the game. What does he do? He activates Soul Charge, a Magic Card which allows him to [[Back From the Dead|revive his monsters from the Graveyard]], but in exchange, [[Cast From Hit Points|forces him to pay 500 Life Points for each one]]. He resurrects all of his Guardians, but in the process is forced to pay more Life Points than he has left. So let's summarize: he could have just forfeit the game, but instead he chose to essentially forfeit while apologizing to his monsters for throwing them aside to power up Deathscythe. And the best part? After this, the Orichalcos tries to [[Your Soul Is Mine|take his soul]], but it ''can't'' because Rafael has no darkness in his heart. Plain. Freaking. Awesome.
* Personally I thought it was pretty awesome how Odion, upon regaining consciousness after going into a coma for a while managed to drag his injured self all the way up to the top of the tower where Yami Marik and Yami Yugi were duelling to show his unwavering support for Good Marik.
** His entire duel with Joey. Considering so many opponents have cheated him, including all his Battle City opponents except for Mako, Odion gives Joey his toughest duel yet, but flying in the face of both Joey's past opponents and the Rare Hunter organization as a whole, he does it completely fairly. Not only is it an awesome duel but it helps establish Odion as a [[Noble Demon]] [[Anti
