History Awesome / DarkerThanBlack

* Guy Kurasawa gets his awesome moment in episode 14, when he confronts Hei, seizes him by the hem of his coat, and ''shouts'' at him that Yin is a human being who should be treated with dignity. Of course, he did this with no knowledge of who Hei is or just [[DidYouJustFlipOffCthulhu how dangerous it was to provoke him]], but it's still Kurasawa's finest hour. Doubles as a CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming for Hei, who both sincerely concedes that [[DumbassHasAPoint Kurasawa is right about Yin]], and shows unusual consideration for an ordinary human's life by knocking Kurasawa out with a nonlethal shock and [[PetTheDog propping him up against a tree, umbrella over his head, to sleep it off]].

** So many of the frequent action sequences involving Hei are so cool and well animated that few truly stand out. One moment that does stand out, though, is during the second season when a [[spoiler: depowered]] Hei destroys a bomb detonator by stabbing it through the holder's hand... [[ForkFencing with a knife]], followed immediately [[SerialEscalation by killing the bodyguard carrying a gun]] [[RockBeatsLaser by throwing a fork at his throat.]]

* Speaking of November 11, his introduction and subsequent fights throughout the series are all awesome, but it's his [[spoiler: killing of Decade and a room full of heavily armed agents using nothing but a bottle of bourbon]] that really takes the cake. Sure, it happens [[OffscreenMomentOfAwesome off screen]], but still.

* Mina defeating a [[spoiler:depowered]] Hei in the 11th episode of the second season.
* Season 2's HesBack moment, when Hei pulls off the meticulously executed kidnapping of Yōko Sawasaki, the woman who painfully [[spoiler:depowered him]] in Tokyo International Airport. He utterly outwits Mina and Genma, who are trying to stop him with their contractor powers. The kicker is when Hei, who is confronted by Mina, chucks his tool box at her. She slices it open to reveal his knives, which he then grabs, attaches his zip cables and uses them to give him a boost as he kicks her in the guts.

* For Yin, it is probably in the first episode of the Gaiden OVA, when she uses her specter to force a contractor with the ability to control people to shoot himself in the head, saving Hei's ass.
* Why are there so few entries here? For someone who kills with electricity and is repeatedly stated as a Badass, why are there so few mentions? I, for one, thought that Hei vs Luise in the first episode really made an impression of why he's called "The Black Reaper."

* Mina defeating a [[spoiler:depowered]] Hei in the 11th episode of the second season.

* The Inter-Sequel OVA opening. Hei is up against three contractors in an oil refinery. He wipes the floor with them.

* Any time the song "Total Eclipse" plays in the first season. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hCABFcKfjhg Listen]]

* Early on, when it's revealed that Hei's jacket is bulletproof and the ensuing fight sequence.

--> '''Alan''': I can't believe Luise got himself killed by this guy. I really thought he'd put up more of a fight.
--> '''Mao''': He will. And when he does, you might want to keep in mind: Hei doesn't wear that coat as a fashion statement.
--> '''Mao''': It's bulletproof.
