History Awesome / DigimonAdventure

[[AC:Game]]
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H4zb97KeGPc&t=8m4s Warp Digivolutions]] from the ''Digimon Adventure'' UsefulNotes/PlayStationPortable game, ''finally''. Although Agumon and Gabumon's Warp Digivolutions are great to witness as well, the inclusion of the Warp Digivolutions for Biyomon, Tentomon, Palmon, Gomamon, Patamon, and Gatomon[[note]]all of who Digivolve into [=WarGreymon=], [=MetalGarurumon=], Hououmon/Phoenixmon, [=HerculesKabuterimon=], Rosemon, Vikemon, Seraphimon, and Ophanimon, respectively[[/note]] are quite terrific sights to behold. The sequences are even better when one takes in account that some of the fandom has known about the aforementioned Digimon's Mega forms for years, yet only [=WarGreymon=] and [=MetalGarurumon=] received anime animations of their Digivolution sequences in ''Digimon Adventure''.
** Just ''how'' these forms being unlocked (if certain conditions are met) in story also count as this for some of the Digidestined and their partners:
** Gatomon's Mega debuts against a revived [=VenomMyotismon=], giving her a chance to finally give her old boss the butt-kicking he had coming. Talk about TheDogBitesBack!
** Biyomon's Mega debuts against ''Piedmon''. Yes, Sora and Biyomon get the chance to fight ''the strongest Dark Master'' in ''Mega form''.
*** It really works, because it builds upon the respective episode. It's a testament to Sora's love for T.K. and Kari, and her devotion to protecting them.
** Palmon's Mega debuts against a (yet again) revived [=MetalEtemon=], allowing her and Mimi to fully avenge Leomon.
** Patamon's Mega debuts against Puppetmon; not as awesome as the other five examples at first glance, but that wooden brat ''did'' give them no end of trouble, so at least it's a fitting end to T.K. and Puppetmon's little feud. And hey, this happens shortly after [=MagnaAngemon's=] debut, so it's still awesome!
** Gomamon's Mega debuts against [=MetalSeadramon=], resulting in a battle between two water-based titans.
** Tentomon's Mega debuts against ''Machinedramon'', literally one half of Millenniummon, and the one that gave Izzy such a hard time during his episodes. Looks like the tables have turned, eh buddy?

** On top of that, when Piedmon catches up to them, gloating about how he wants a full-set of [=DigiDestined=] keychains, Gomamon throws himself at Piedmon & [[MakesSenseInContext snatches Matt]] from him. Little dude's got guts.

** After being kicked around, cowed and pretty much enslaved at a restaurant, he jumps off a roof onto an evil Digimon to save TK. TK escapes, but Joe ends up being squeezed like a tube of toothpaste. Regardless, he tells Matt to defeat Digitamamon instead and not worry about him. It's this act of selflessness that causes Matt to realize the PowerOfFriendship and gets his Crest to glow, resulting in the debut of [=WereGarurumon=].
** After promising TK's mother that he'd take care of him, they get thrown off Ikkakumon and are all drowning in Tokyo Bay. Joe manages to dive down, drag TK above the surface, and get him onto something that floats. This tires him out and he would have drowned if his own Crest didn't glow, causing Ikkakumon's digivolution into Zudomon.

* Gomamon & Sora's argument in episode 52, whilst ultimately leading to Piedmon capturing both of them, is for both of them. Why? Sora's telling Gomamon to go with TK & Kari so that he doesn't get hurt since he can't digivolve out of his Rookie form without the captured Joe, and Gomamon refuses to leave Sora for the opposite reason, as Garudamon has already been captured.

* Tailmon/Gatomon gets one when she first digivolves into Angewomon in a bout of UnstoppableRage after Myotismon kills Wizardmon.

* [=MagnaAngemon=]: After Piedmon had whupped him and all the other Digimon -- Mega or otherwise -- Angemon TookALevelInBadass, changed to this Ultimate form and handed Piedmon his ass on a silver platter.

** It can be argued that [=MagnaAngemon=] won so easily because he is an angel, and the natural enemy of the Dark Master Piedmon, but still.

* Kari, Kari, Kari. Just Tai's baby sister and an adorable, [[IllGirl Ill]], AffirmativeActionGirl, right? Well, say that when she, at all of eight years old, walks up towards [=WaruMonzaemon=], ostensibly offering herself up as his first kill, but striding up there, looking for all the world like a queen.

* Heck, everything before Myotismon and company invading Tokyo counts, even the little details. Why? Because seven children, the oldest ones barely into adolescence, if that (the oldest, Joe, was 12, and T.K, was 8!), completely vanished into a foreign realm where almost every enemy Digimon could have killed them. They didn't have previous information or past Chosens to aid them like the 02 clan did, their only source of protection was their inexperienced partners, and they had neither an easily-accessible way of returning home (until Izzy cracked the card code) nor a way of contacting their significant others to let them know they were alright. And despite all of their near-death experiences (including petrification and being swallowed by a whale), they all survived. You try to find seven random people in the Chosens' age range in your town that would be brave enough to duplicate that feat. ''Against their will''. When Izzy said they were pioneers, you better believe he was right.

* Think about the way Etemon came back. As explained on [[http://chromagic.blogspot.com/2010/12/scientific-list-of-top-10-digimon.html this blog]], "after being thrown into Digimon’s equivalent of Glitch City and merging with what appears to be a canon Missingno, not only did Etemon come back, [[CameBackStrong but he came back better]]."

* How has Vamdemon/Myotismon's first appearance before the Chosen not been mentioned? The flying carriage, trailing darkness with him, ''the coffin skydive''!

** Angemon's (Champion-level) first appearance was pretty awesome too. The thing that sort of got me interested in following the show, in fact.

[[AC: The Movies]]

* How about Omegamon/Omnimon's first appearance in ''Digimon: TheMovie''? Beaten and broken, Wargreymon and Metalgarurumon get power from kids all around the world, and they digivolve together to form Omnimon, a huge badass White Knight with [[{{BFS}} Grey Sword]] and [[{{BFG}} Garuru Cannon]]. Omnimon then proceeds to casually destroy thousands of copies of the Mega-level Digimon Diaboromon (actually, probably over a million, as Izzy notes), just one of which was giving his previous forms massive difficulty. It was badass and perhaps the best introduction for any Digimon ever.
** Say it with me now: "TRANSCENDENT SWORD!"
** "SUPREME... CANNON!"
** And lest we forget, "CONNECTION... TERMINATED..."
** In the original film the scene is derived from, ''Our War Game'', Omegamon is treated with a large amount of reverence. The fusion is accompanied by a CherubicChoir, making the moment seem like a miracle of divine intervention. During the entire thing, Omegamon also says absolutely nothing, which only adds to his mystique.
** Magnamon and Rapidmon's appearance near the end of the film.
** During the fight against Diaboramon, Wargreymon's Dramon Slayers are torn off. So what does he do? CLOCK Diaboramon right in the jaw! No fancy attacks necessary, just a straight up punch to the face. Wargreymon is just that badass.
** Greymon and Kabuterimon put up a great fight against Infermon, who is revealed to be a higher level than them.
** Infermon subverting TransformationIsAFreeAction and taking down Metalgreymon and Megakabuterimon.
** After repeating the mid transformation attack on Patamon, TK cries out that he's coming to help him, leading to one of the best lines in the movie.
*** "TK...you can't. (To [=MetalGarurumon=]) BUT YOU CAN!!" ([=MetalGarurumon=] tears into Diaboramon)
*** "WIPE HIM OUT!!" ([=WarGreymon=] then proceeds to ''punch Diaboromon in the face''!)
* The AWESOME of any of the Digimon films, especially Bokura no War Game ("Our War Game", a reference to, well, Film/WarGames). In addition to having a fairly obscene budget, it was animated by a person who studied under Hayao Miyazaki at one time, so that's why the animation should look familliar. At one point, Diablomon decides to launch a highly advanced nuclear missile, and, when Koushirou finds out, he realizes it ''could blow up anywhere in the world, in nine minutes.'' A DIGIMON movie has a movie plot about stopping ''[[NuclearWeaponsTaboo NUCLEAR WAR]]''. All the while, the whole world is reaching out to the heroes via e-mail. It is awesome beyond words.
* The sheer AWESOMENESS when Greymon wrestles against the Parrotmon.
** The dub had its own awesome moment: [[PunctuatedForEmphasis "YOUUUU'VVVEEE GOOOOOOOOOOT MAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIL!"]] [[PunctuatedForEmphasis Best! Moment! Ever!]]
* Another thing that makes Bokura no War Game is so awesome is when you realise that it was major foreshadowing. How so? Well remember that the movie is in fact Canon (having been mentioned in series by two of the characters), and that during it, kids from all over the world were watching, including the protaganists of 02. Anyone remember what the requirements for becoming a digidestined in ''Adventure'' and ''02'' were? It was by ''seeing'' a digimon. Now if the children watching had in fact amounted to, oh say, ''50 million'', you suddenly realise where they all came from during the final episode of ''02''. ChekhovsGun indeed!
* Greymon's first appearance in the movie, first Parrotmon {{NoSell}}s Agumon's attacks and destroys the bridge above him, Tai and Kari (i mentioned they were there right?) and they get covered in rubble, phone's and lights around them go haywire, dust clears to reveal a {{Kaiju}} sized Greymon. Cue epic fight.
--> '''Tai:''' Koromon?
--> '''Greymon:''' I'm Greymon now.
--> '''Tai:''' You can be whoever you want, big guy.
** That moment in the dub where, after waiting the whole time to hear it, Greymon finally goes into action and the dub theme plays full-blast.
--> "NOVA FLAME!!"
** If you look closely, you can see that Greymon's first attack was so powerful it ''blasted Parrotmon's left wing clean off!''

* The first time Agumon and Gabumon digivolve to Mega, pictured right.

* The final battle with Apocalymon counts. The kids manage to use HeroicResolve mixed with a WorldOfCardboardSpeech to let their Digimon fully digivolve despite their crests being destroyed and then top that by '''''reassembling themselves from scattered data through HeroicWillpower alone!''''' They then proceed to systematically tear him apart and SaveBothWorlds. No matter what you think of Apocalymon's appearence, this fight is a major SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome for them all.

--->'''[=MegaKabuterimon=]:''' Awww...send me the bill.

* [=MagnaAngemon=]: After Piedmon had whupped on him and all the other Digimon -- Mega or otherwise -- Angemon TookALevelInBadass, changed to this Ultimate form and handed Piedmon his ass.

* Wizardmon. The guy is a walking SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome. He was basically loyal to Gatomon all along, helping her when he suspected her of being a partner. He willingly went against Myotismon, declaring "''How could I betray you when I was never on your side to begin with!''", and surviving two [[NoOneCouldSurviveThat fatal attacks]]. When he attacks Myotismon from behind after the first attempt, Myotismon actually shows ''fear'' when he sees his assailant, something to even Angewomon couldn't achieve. His eventual HeroicSacrifice paved the way for Gatomon's Moment.

* Heck, everything before Myotismon and company invading Tokyo counts, even the little details. Why? Because seven children, the oldest ones barely into adolescence, if that( the oldest was 12, and T.K, was 8!), completely vanished into a foreign realm where almost every enemy Digimon could have killed them. They didn't have previous information or past Chosens to aid them like the 02 clan did, their only source of protection was their inexperienced partners, and they had neither an easily-accessible way of returning home (until Izzy cracked the card code) nor a way of contacting their significant others to let them know they were alright. And despite all of their near-death experiences (including petrification and being swallowed by a whale), they all survived. You try to find seven random people in the Chosens' age range in your town that would be brave enough to duplicate that feat. ''Against their will''. When Izzy said they were pioneers, you better believe he was right.

* Undoubtedly, the most awesome thing Mimi, whose motto is pretty much EverythingsBetterWithPrincesses, ever did was when the Garbemon threw their poop attack, and instead of running like everyone else did, she ''caught it in her hand and threw it back at them.'' Granted, she was wearing gloves and in the early stages of a HeroicBSOD, but ''damn'' if it wasn't cool. TookALevelInBadass? You bet!
