Line 5:
* In episode 25, demanding to know whats going on once and for all, Yusei decides to confront Godwin. However, his way is blocked by two guards. Now if this were Yugi or Jaden in this situation, they'd challenge the guards to a duel in order to get past. However, since this is the older and significantly more well built (read as: [[Badass]]) Yusei, [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZNsAhyZLovI&feature=related he just goes Street Fighter on them instead.] Sure the 4kids dub added a few flashes in it to attempt to censor the scene, but it was done so badly, it was kept mainly intact even there. Unintentional CMoA for them, too. :)
** [[User:Replis Monathin|This Troper]] couldn't have been the only one who re-watched the scene right after they saw it just so they could shout ''"[[Street Fighter|SHORYUKEN!]]"''
* Yusei [[Shut UP, Hannibal|pointing out]] {{spoiler|Godwin's}} hypocrisy then proceeding to summon Savior Star Dragon. The clincher is that he then proceeds not only to take out both Wiraqocha Rasca and the rest of {{spoiler|Godwin's}} Life Points, but then {{spoiler|drive Savior Star, powered by the Crimson Dragon, into the [[Eldritch Abomination|King of the Underworld]] and blasts off its face.}} Made even more awesome in the flashback in episode 79 which adds [[Crowning Music of Awesome|Yusei Battle to it]].
** Even the card draw to start the turn was badass. On top of Yusei's cry of "Ore no...'''''TAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN!!!'''''", the moment he pulls it, the screen switches to the Speed Counter stats, and show his hitting the maximum of 12. The climax of this battle is put figuratively and ''literally'' into overdrive.
* [[One -Hit Kill|One Turn Three Kill]].
* When Yusei outsmarts Sherry and summons Turbo Warrior, ''twice''.
* When Yusei proves he can read a card better than Rudger:
{{quote| '''Rudger''': Earthbound God Uru has 3000 ATK Points! Stardust Dragon is too weak to beat-<br />
'''Yusei''': [[Shut UP, Hannibal|Stardust Dragon, attack him directly!]]<br />
'''Rudger''': [[Oh Crap|What!?]]<br />
'''Yusei''': Earthbound Gods can't be attacked, so I can attack you instead! }}
Line 19:
* This troper wants to know how the very first episode escapes mention. Not only does Yusei show that the "card games on motorbikes" idea mocked by [[The Abridged Series]] is workable (and, in fact, quite awesome!), but when he performs the anime's first Synchro Summon...Junk Warrior's entrance just ''commands'' you to cheer.
* In episode 70, Luna is being held hostage inside a house by a ghost who has been making people disappear, and Leo goes to duel this ghost to save his sister. Yusei barely appears at all in the episode, but after hearing about Luna disappearing, he goes to find her. When he arrives in front of the house where Leo and the ghost are dueling, Leo says he will hold the ghost off while Yusei saves his sister. How does Yusei accomplish this? He drives right through the middle of the duel and ''breaks down the front door with his duel runner.''
* Episode 110, Yusei successfully pulls off Accel Synchro and summons, [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vfyh44Mo2DE Summoning Shooting Star Dragon]. He then reveals its effect: he reveals the top five cards of his deck, and Shooting Star Dragon can attack once for each Tuner monster he reveals. Cue the other four members of the main [[Five -Man Band]] around the city looking at their glowing Signer marks and cheering Yusei on. Yusei draws, revealing Tuner monsters one by one as the five Signer marks light up in sequence on his back with overlaid shots of his friends. As he draws the fifth Tuner, the lines of the mark's body draw out a circle, and the camera pulls back to reveal the full mark of the Crimson Dragon lit up. Placido has just enough time to go "[[Oh Crap]]! [[This Cannot Be!]]!" before Yusei orders Shooting Star Dragon to attack five times, destroying the Machine Emperor piece by piece and giving Placido a serious case of [[Critical Existence Failure]] as his motorcycle blows up underneath him. And while all this is going on, the background music starts out low and quiet and grows faster and louder with every draw.
* Ep 122 is an even bigger one, where Yusei uses Shooting Star dragon to beat Sleeping Giant Thud, a monster said to rival the 3 Egyptian god cards. All with Clear Mind playing in the background a second time.
* The way he defeats Harald of Team Ragnarok.
Line 64:
* {{spoiler|Summoning Stardust Dragon to turn the tide of battle against Team Unicorn. Complete with summon speech.}} Cue collective "Holy Shit" moment by the main cast.
* Episode 109: Aki saved that girl Haruka and showed that she doesn't need psychic powers to be a hero.
* Her [[Shut UP, Hannibal]] attitude during the duel with Sherry in Episode 140.
 
 
Line 80:
* Episode 86. Kiryu. Harmonica. Awesomeness ensues. He proceeds to have a few more in every episode in the arc afterwards.
* Episode 90. Who knew a minor character's last moments could be so awesome?
* Episode 91. Yusei and Kiryu beating Lotten's [[One -Hit Kill]] again and again. Do not forget that Kiryu's doing this [[Normally I Would Be Dead Now|without any Lifepoints at all]].
** This troper was pretty much stunned when Lotten delivered said [[One -Hit Kill]], even though I anticipated it from Lotten getting a ten-card starting hand. And then I pretty much cheered when Kiryu got back up and delivered a line which to this day just says 'AWESOME' to me, to the point I forgot that Crashtown was a filler arc, I honestly didn't care it wasn't part of the overarching plot. Said line:
{{quote| '''Kiryu''': I told you, I'm a God of Death. ''Gods of Death don't die''.}}
** Okay. Yusei and Kalin are thrown into a tight spot during their duel with Lotten. Guess who shows up? Crow. And how's he known? By throwing one of his cards down, blocking the attack. Before the duo can even celebrate, JACK ATLAS shows up, bringing the police force with him. Finally, the Enforcers all stand together as one. Tell me that's not awesome.
* In that same episode, when Kiryu chased down Lotten after he made his escape then beat him in a duel, the dub actually changed this, so instead of Kallen dueling Lotten after catching up to him, he simply turned him into the authorities telling him that [["The Reason You Suck" Speech|he (Lotten) has already forfeited his pride as a duelist by running away and that he doesn't deserve to finish his duel.]] It was actually awesome in its own way
* The opening of Episode 93 serves to show that Sherry is a girl you do ''not'' want to mess with. Not because she'll beat you in a duel but because she'll knock all your [[Mooks]] unconscious and throw you off a balcony.
* Nearly all of Episode 99, including Jack pushing {{spoiler|his busted up D-Wheel back into the pit area with every last bit of strength he has}}, and {{spoiler|Aki summoning Stardust Dragon, summoning speech and all.}}
