History Awesome / DanganRoleplay

* A meta one, for the players -- case nine was specifically set up and designed by the mods to be unsolvable, IC and OOC and it was ''solved anyway'' and the only thing that prevented the trial from ending in a correct vote was that none of the characters ''or'' players knew the actual name of the second culprit.

* In-game and meta example. For the first time ever, there was a preventable murder. The muns were able to figure out the riddle required to save the victim, so the last planned murder was ''interrupted'' by Jack screaming like a demon and causing Gaston to drop Naveen.
** Jack ''setting himself on fire'' in that scene absolutely made it. The whole game was glued to the screen.

* With all the theorizing that the players and spectators have done all game long, one for the mods is that they managed to keep [[spoiler:the Sorcerer's Hat being a key plot device]] under wraps the whole game despite it being right out there in the open the whole time -- everyone thought it was just a ShoutOut in a sea of them, not the real deal!

* Futo figuring out that the fifth culprit [[spoiler:(the ''real'' culprit, not the assigned one who got executed for dealing the killing blow)]] is a [[HumanoidAbomination literal monster]].
** People were on edge watching Haruka live up to her IdiotHair noticing that [[spoiler:Ryuunosuke was covering and lying about the murderer, which he certainly hadn't done the previous week when it was someone she cared about,]] and pressing [[spoiler:both him and Tsukiyama]] into revealing the truth.

** Tsukiyama repairing his HateSink status over the week and going to TokenEvilTeammate instead is cemented when [[spoiler:he carries Allie to the ''centre'' of the room; everyone else follows and sits down in a show of togetherness against Monobear]].

** The horrifying reveal [[spoiler:that Monobear had Silver's Pokémon captive and was waiting to execute them in his stead]]... which he almost gets away with, until [[spoiler:Miss Usami shows up.]]

* The class frustrating Monobear so badly that [[spoiler:they trick him into striking down all the rules, including the one that bars anyone from causing him harm]].
* Elizabeth using Roc, her ''cucco'', as a summon. [[spoiler:When Ganon kicks it away, it calls for backup. Lots of backup.]]

* [[spoiler:A repentant Tarrlok]] has a DyingMomentOfAwesome when [[spoiler:he baits Monobear into exploding him... and the dividing wall]]. Bonus points for the last words, a reference to the research he was trying to do on other worlds' history.
-->"[[spoiler:Mr. Monobear... tear down this wall.]]"

* [[spoiler:Hajime Hinata, Sonia Nevermind and Gundam Tanaka's BigDamnHeroes moment to stop Jimmy's execution.]]
* Jimmy straight up ''tazing'' Irisu when she [[spoiler: tries to kill Uuji]].
* Roxy figuratively nailing [[spoiler:Lysandre and Archer]] to the wall during the fifth trial.[[/folder]]

* Homura picking up on a clue [[spoiler: that pointed to Saki Hanajima's guilt in the second trial]] and using it to help put things back on track.

* The [[spoiler: bloody arrow]] found during the fourth investigation caused a lot of confusion and was discussed at length during the trial without really getting anywhere. {...} and Adachi managed to get everyone on the right track... then Adachi brought up [[spoiler: the guidelines for the body announcement and the possibility that ''someone else got to the body first''.]]
** Adachi angrily questioning Monobear about each person that discovered the body, starting from the third, which led to [[spoiler: ''photographic evidence'' that someone ''had'' tampered with the crime scene]] and opened up the possibility of a [[spoiler: mole]] for discussion.
** Less awesome now though since it's been revealed that [[spoiler:Adachi ''was'' the mole who tampered the crime scene, and this back and forth between him and Monobear was just a way for him to cast any suspicion off of himself.]]
* Cecil's RousingSpeech to the surviving students [[spoiler: before he is sent to his execution.]] Doubles as a TearJerker.
-->'''Cecil:''' Feel rage, Hope's Peak. Rage that someone has done this to you, and rage that someone has taken what little control of your life you had from you. And hope for a future where, one day, you can find this someone and destroy them. Because despair is so pitifully empty, while hope is vast and dark and terrifying. And because I have nothing better to say-- [[spoiler: Goodnight, Hope's Peak. Goodnight.]]

* Sonico in case 7 completely ''nailing'' [[spoiler: Kirei]] for the murder of [[spoiler: Fujimoto and Inaba, the latter of whom was Sonico's ''best friend'' in the school.]] While other characters like Adachi, Cynthia and Goku (all also people who had CR with [[spoiler: Inaba]]) also piled on the murderer in Sonico's lead, it was still Sonico who brought up [[spoiler: the true meaning of Inaba's dying cellphone message: 'Koto'zute = 'Koto'mine.]] Sonico's coldness to the culprit afterwards was also pretty badass considering how sweet and polite she usually is.
--> '''Sonico:''' [[spoiler: You bled. That's good enough for me.]]

*** [[spoiler: [[http://danganroleplay.dreamwidth.org/19020.html?thread=14967116#cmt14967116 Especially]] the [[HellIsThatNoise voice clip]], [[WhatTheHellHero What the Hell, Heroes]] speech, and epic guitar all in one shot. ]]

--> '''Beat:''' No, I ain'. Bring it, yo! We ain' [[spoiler:killin' Cynthia. WE AIN'T KILLIN' NO MORE!!]]
* [[spoiler: The GoldenEnding.]] Well earned.
* A meta one, for the players -- case nine was specifically set up and designed by the mods [[spoiler:to be unsolvable, IC and OOC and it was ''solved anyway'' and the only thing that prevented the trial from ending in a correct vote was that none of the characters ''or'' players knew the actual name of the second culprit.]]

* In-game and meta example. For the first time ever, [[spoiler:there was a preventable murder. The muns were able to figure out the riddle required to save the victim, so the last planned murder was ''interrupted'' by Jack screaming like a demon and causing Gaston to drop Naveen.]]

* The Final Trial [[spoiler:isn't really a trial so much as Monobear freaking out and trying to kill everyone with magic. The students fight back. The result is a temporary GenreShift into a magical fighting series where everyone still has to use their heads to solve their problems. Highlights include Naveen using Jack as a javelin, Pooh acting as the party's bard while standing on Gaston's shoulders, and especially Jack laughing off fireballs and using DetachmentCombat, Monobear subsequently switching from tossing fire to filling the room with water, and Ariel scoffing at the flood and swimming for it to grab the Sorcerer's Hat.]]

* [[spoiler:A repentant Tarrlok]] has a DyingMomentOfAwesome when [[spoiler:he baits Monobear into exploding him... and the dividing wall]]. Bonus points for the FamousLastWords, a reference to the research he was trying to do on other worlds' history.

* A bit of awesome on the part of the ''players'': when July 21st's MSN prize proved to be [[http://media.animevice.com/uploads/0/5934/199118-kirei530.png a life-size cardboard cutout of Kirei Kotomine]], the remaining cast launched a [[http://monomods.dreamwidth.org/13454.html?thread=492430#cmt492430 Kirei Riot]] and attempted to order ''100 of them in a single day''.
