History Awesome / DigimonAdventure

* Angewomon V.S. Lady Devimon.
** Also doubles as a Moment of Funny.
* The first time Patamon digivolves to Angemon, where one Champion-level is able to ''single-handedly'' beat a Digimon that ''every other Champion in the group'' couldn't defeat together, with ''a single'' attack.
* Heck, anytime the kids' digimon digivolve.
** Of note is probably Palmon's first digivolution into Togemon, in which she goes toe to toe with a ''Monzaemon'', and wins. Keep in mind, Monzaemon is a Perfect/Ultimate level Digimon, and even though Izzy managed to subdue a similarly leveled Andromon in the episode prior, it was only after having Kabuterimon fire an [[ElementalRockPaperScissors Electro Shocker]] at [[AttackItsWeakPoint its leg]]. Togemon, on the other hand, [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown outright beats the Black Gear out of Monzaemon]] with GoodOldFisticuffs! All by herself!

** Climbing a mountain to get the lay of the land, and then jumping off a cliff to try and get the Black Gear out of the ''flying'' Unimon. He gets thrown off in ''mid-air'', causing Gomamon to digivolve into Ikkakumon to save him.

** That entire episode is pure win. Starting with Ikkakumon's bombardment of the pyramid, the three-on-one fight between Ikkakumon, Togemon, and Garurumon against Etemon, Tai sticking it to both Etemon and Datamon, Etemon getting trapped under the electric fence by Birdramon, and of course the finale where Etemon gets fused with his Dark Network, starts consuming the entire desert around him, and then [=MetalGreymon=] kicks his ass.

* 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!

* Who could forget the first Angewomon/Lady Devimon fight? Everything from cute li'l Kari uttering "[Lady Devimon] looks like a witch" and cheering her on in the ensuing catfight (pun not intended) to Tai and Izzy providing the exact commentary that came to everyone's mind. To wit, "I know I shouldn't be watching this but I can't take my eyes off!"
--->'''[=LadyDevimon=]''': You broke it!
--->'''[=MegaKabuterimon=]''': Awww...send me the bill.
* Gatomon/Angewomon gets one when she first digivolves to the Ultimate level, in a bout of UnstoppableRage after Myotismon kills Wizardmon.

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

** Also doubles as a Moment of Funny

** Of note is probably Palmon's first digivolution into Togemon, in which she goes toe to toe with a ''[[GameBreaker Monzaemon]]'', and wins. Keep in mind, Monzaemon is a Perfect/Ultimate level Digimon, and even though Izzy managed to subdue a similarly leveled Andromon in the episode prior, it was only after having Kabuterimon fire an [[ElementalRockPaperScissors Electro Shocker]] at [[AttackItsWeakPoint its leg]]. Togemon, on the other hand, [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown outright beats the Black Gear out of Monzaemon]] with GoodOldFisticuffs! All by herself!

*** There's [[ThePowerOfTrust a reason]] Joe's crest is Reliability.
*** The Japanese crest 'Seijitsu' doesn't have a direct English translation, but incorporates traits such as honesty, sincerity, reliability, and faithfulness. Digimon Adventure tends to treat it more in the reliability sense. In Digimon Adventure 02 when Iori (Cody) receives the corresponding digimental, he struggles with needing to break his honesty to tell a lie in order to be reliable and save his friends.

** It was later made note of in season 2, not that anyone would know, cuz it was in Japanese. Even in the dub.
*** Wasn't it Sukamon and Chuumon they referenced in ''02''? MegatonPunch, bitch.

*** before that, Greymon and Kabuterimon put up a great fight against Infermon, who is revealed to be a higher level than them.

*** One of the children was Miyako, which means she took part in creating Omegamon and defeating Diablomon without being a Chosen Child first!

* Who could forget the first Angewomon/Lady Devimon fight? Everything from cute li'l Hikari uttering "[Lady Devimon] looks like a witch" and cheering her on in the ensuing catfight (pun not intended) to Tai and Izzy providing the exact commentary that came to everyone's mind. To wit, "I know I shouldn't be watching this but I can't take my eyes off!"

** Byomon's Mega debuts against ''Piedmon''. Yes, Sora and Byomon get the chance to fight ''the strongest Dark Master'' in ''Mega form''.

** The final blow deserves mention: [=MagnaAngemon=] opens his Gate of Destiny and sucks Piedmon's entire remaining army into a portal to another dimension from where escape is impossible, at which point [=WarGreymon=] and [=MetalGurumon=] give him Piedmon CombinationAttack that ''blasts'' him in with the gate closing behind him. And before the attack is launched, Piedmon gets an absolutely delicious "OhCrap" expression; he's out of tricks, and the show is over.

* Wizardmon. The guy is a walking CrowningMomentOfAwesome. 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.

* 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 CrowningMomentOfAwesome for them all.

* WHENEVER "Brave Heart" is playing, the moment is a CrowningMomentOfAwesome for someone.

* [=WarGreymon=] vs. Machinedramon. He immediately warp-digivolves, [[SingleStrokeBattle slices through the bad guy]], and depowers back to the In-Training form of Koromon. After a few seconds of Machinedramon taunting him about how ineffective his attack was, Koromon reveals that [[YouAreAlreadyDead he actually sliced him up pretty bad]]. Bye, Machinedramon. [[OhCrap hello Millenummon]]

** The dub had its own CMOA: [[PunctuatedForEmphasis "YOUUUU'VVVEEE GOOOOOOOOOOT MAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIL!"]] [[PunctuatedForEmphasis Best! Moment! Ever!]]

* 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]], [[spoiler: "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]]."]]

* Gatomon/Angewomon gets one when she first digivolves to the Ultimate level, in a bout of UnstoppableRage [[spoiler: after Myotismon kills Wizardmon.]]

** Gatomon's Mega debuts against [[spoiler:a revived [=VenomMyotismon=], giving her a chance to finally give her old boss the butt-kicking he had coming. Talk about TheDogBitesBack!]]
** Byomon's Mega debuts against [[spoiler:''Piedmon''. Yes, Sora and Byomon get the chance to fight ''the strongest Dark Master'' in ''Mega form''.]]

** Palmon's Mega debuts against [[spoiler:a (yet again) revived [=MetalEtemon=], allowing her and Mimi to fully avenge Leomon.]]
** Patamon's Mega debuts against [[spoiler:Puppetmon]]; not as awesome as the other five examples at first glance, but [[spoiler: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 [[spoiler:[=MetalSeadramon=], resulting in a battle between two water-based titans.]]
** Tentomon's Mega debuts against [[spoiler:''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?]]

* Episode 34 shows how awesome '''parents''' can be.

* The first time Patamon digivolves to Angemon, where one Champion-level is able to beat a Digimon that ''every other Champion in the group couldn't.''

* How has Vamdemon/Myotismon's first appearance before the Chosen not been mentioned? The flying carriage, trailing darkness with him, ''the coffin skydive''! This troper thinks that is the only villain entrance they have honestly never forgotten.

* Wizardmon. The guy is a walking CrowningMomentOfAwesome. 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!''" (a line this troper has never forgotten and has even used on occasion), 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.

** Of note is probably Palmon's first digivolution into Togemon, in which she goes toe to toe with a ''[[GameBreaker Monzaemon]]'', and wins. Keep in mind, Monzaemon is a Perfect/Ultimate level Digimon, and even though Izzy managed to subdue a similarly leveled Andromon in the episode prior, it was only after having Kabuterimon fire an Electro Shocker [[AttackItsWeakPoint at its leg]]. Togemon, on the other hand, [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown outright beats the Black Gear out of Monzaemon]]! All by herself!

** Despite being taken hostage by the Bakemon, Susumu Yagami leads all men (barring Keisuke Tachikawa) to fight back and he gets to beat some of them down.

** Palmon's Mega debuts against [[spoiler:a (yet again) revived [=MetalEtemon=], allowing her and Mimi to fully avenge Leomon]].

* 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 01 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!

* Who could forget the first Angewomon/Lady Devimon fight? Everything from cute li'l Hikari uttering "[Lady Devimon] looks like a witch" and cheering her on in the ensuing catfight (pun not intended) to Tai and Izzy providing the exact commentary that came to everyone's mind. To wit, "I know I shouldn't be watching this but I can't turn away!"

** Climbing a mountain to get the lay of the land, and then jumping off a cliff to try and get the Black Gear out of the ''flying'' Unimon. He gets thrown off in ''mid-air.''
** 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.
** 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.
