** That moment of sublime badassness when the Abnormal Titan punches some other Titan's head ACROSS THE TOWN. The closeup of its stupid face embedded in the window of some building is the icing on the cake.
** Said moment comes right after Mikasa's despair over Eren's [[spoiler: apparent death]] causes her to crash. Two titans close in on her, and she is on the verge of giving up. Then she remembers Eren telling her to fight, and with tears in her eyes she vows to somehow live on. From what we had seen up to that point, the viewer could be forgiven for thinking she would die.

* After finally realizing he's not the burden to his friends he thought he was, Armin gets a serious confidence boost and marches straight out of the smokescreen to confront the Garrison troops that were threatening them. The guts he showed to not only stand his ground with his argument, while facing certain death of the canon they got readied mind you, is truly something to behold. And this is just the start of the amazing character development he receives.

** Much later on: [[spoiler:It is kind of subverted by the fact that Reiner was using that as way to communicate to the female Titan, [[WhamEpisode who is Annie]] to find where Eren was at.]]
* Chapter 29: Eren fights the female Titan and holds the advantage for most of the fight. But he is distracted [[spoiler: as he realized the Titan was Annie]], allowing the female Titan to beat him.
* Chapter 30. Levi proves why he's Humanity's strongest soldier by [[spoiler: [[CurbstompBattle effortlessly slicing apart the Female Titan.]] [[EyeScream Stabbing both her eyes was just one of the first things he did.]] ]]
* Chapter 30: Levi [[spoiler: blocks a punch from the Female Titan '''with his foot'''.]]
* Chapter 33: The final fight with [[spoiler:Annie]] has Eren showing us how powerful he can be, although [[spoiler: Annie taught him how to fight, he was dominating the fight until Annie was able to get away.]] Then [[spoiler: Mikasa kicks Annie down the wall.]]
* Chapter 36. After a surprise attack catches her without her gear, Sasha takes on a Titan with a ''bow and arrows'' in order to buy time for a child to escape. After shooting one of the Titan's eyes out, she ''jumps'' at him with the last remaining arrow and stabs his other eye out, allowing both her and the child to survive.
* Chapter 39: Where do I begin? Bertolt stabs a Titan in the eyes with a pitch-fork; Connie, Ymir and Krista immobilize the same Titan ''by rolling a cannon down at it from on top of the stairs''; and Reiner saves Connie from another Titan by blocking its bite with his arm, ''putting it over his shoulder in a fireman carry'', [[HeroicSacrifice and was planning to pitch it out a window along with himself]]. Thankfully, Connie cut the Titan's jaw and freeing Reiner's arm, and Ymir boots it in the face while Bertolt also pushes it out the window.
* Chapter 42: [[spoiler: Bertolt turns into a Colossal Titan]] and attempts to make off with Eren. Mikasa ain't having ANY OF IT! Without hesitation, she leaps at the opportunity to take on [[spoiler: the monster essentially responsible for most of the suffering she's gone through in life.]] Mikasa in general should get a special mention. She ''easily'' could have been nothing more than a FauxActionGirl and cheerleader for Eren, as is commonplace for girls in this genre, but instead we get a hardened BAMF who cares deeply for Eren and will defend him with her life, [[spoiler: even when Eren had just emerged from the body of a Titan and her superiors were getting ready to murder him.]]
* Chapter 44: Eren shows us why he deserves the title of Humanity's greatest hope. When he fights the Armored Titan [[spoiler:Reiner]], he uses all the moves that Annie taught him [[spoiler:and even lampshades how much of a blunder it turned out to be]], giving him the advantage. Remember, this is the Titan that could easily destroy walls by himself. Near the end of the fight, Eren has the Titan pinned and is about to rip off its neck [[spoiler:until the Clossal Titan jumps on both of them.]]
* Every single time Eren opens his mouth. Every single time. BadassBoast. HumansAreSpecial. HumansAreWarriors. DareToBeBadass. Every single heroic speech trope under the sun gets used to its fullest. Even when he was nine years old and busy being strangled to death, he essentially turned Mikasa into a superhero just by speechifying to her. Not even CaptainAmerica is as [[{{Determinator}} constantly inspirational]] as Eren. Even when he fails, every word out of his mouth is awesome. Every single word.
** Even when he's not speaking, even when [[spoiler: He's in his Titan form]] and just roaring, Mikasa still describes him as the physical manifestation of humanity's anger.
** Incidentally, when he was nine, he killed two grown men, hardened killers, with nothing more than a WoundedGazelleGambit, a knife, and a kitchen knife tied to a broom. The second one had an axe. It didn't help.
* In episode 8, while making a run for the HQ, Jean gets grabbed mid-air by one of the Titans. With a single swing of his sword, he cuts off one of its fingers and frees himself.
** Also in Episode 8: [[spoiler: Eren, in his Titan form, is getting weary and the Titans are chowing down on his body faster than it can regenerate...and then the abnormal Titan who ate Thomas happens to come by. Eren tears through the Titans holding him back without any arms, and then ''rips out the nape of its neck with his teeth''. Eren had been single-mindedly chasing ''that exact Titan'' when his leg was bitten off; he got revenge for Thomas after all.]]
* Hannes gets a surprisingly subtle one [[spoiler: after Eren is kidnapped.]] Not only does he prove that he's not the useless, drunken layabout he was five years ago, but he also makes it very clear that, even with all that's happened, he understands the bond between Eren, Armin, and Mikasa, probably even better than they do themselves. Doubles as a CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming; he's been watching over Carla's kids long after he rescued them.
* With episode 9 comes the famous Survey Corps leader, Levi. His first moment in action has him mowing through two huge Titans with effort comparable to swatting a fly. He even audaciously stands on one's head and casually reloads while it wails in pain due to having a pair of three-foot-long blades jammed in its eye sockets.
* After finally realizing he's not the burden to his friends he thought he was, Armin gets a serious confidence boost and marches straight out of the smokescreen to confront the Garrison troops that were threatening them. The guts he showed to not only stand his ground with his argument, while facing certain death of the canon they got readied mind you, is truly something to behold. And this is just the start of the amazing character development he receives.
* Dot Pixis might as well be a walking one, purely because in a world full of meaningless violence and wasted deaths, when things are making less and less sense every day, he never loses his cool and never lets the (increasingly horrifying) circumstances cloud his judgment.
